An earlier hearing on the same charges—that Kidwell murdered the Flint Hill farm manager as he oper ated a bulldozer on a disputed right of way that served the Kidwell property and four lots belonging to Patricia Saltonstall, Spellman’s employer—ended in mistrial. After deliberating for the same eight hours, the first panel announced it was deadlocked with 11 for acquital and one for voluntary manslaughter. Before Judge Thomas Horne had the verdict read Saturday morning, he warned against any outbursts and announced that the spectators were to stay in their seats until the jury left the crowded courtroom. As the clerk read the findings of not guilty on the murder charge and not guilty on a second charge of using a firearm to commit a The Defendant ,1 Diane kidwell (claimed she fired in self defense felony. Kid well reached over and grasped defense counsel John Dowd's hand, her face wreathed in an achingly broad smile. It wasn’t until the jury cleared the courtroom and the judge returned to chambers that Kidwell’s children, husband, parents and friends rushed to embrace her. Relentless Prosecution “Members of my family have been permanently affected by the pain, anguish and frustration of this past year” Kidwell said. “We all wish to thank the many many people of Rappahannock who gave their support and confidence to all of us. Without that support and confidence, without my fam ily’s devotion and without the belief and persistency and tireless efforts of my attorneys, John Dowd and Rod Leffler, I would never have had the strength and courage to stand up through the relentless prosecution.” Kidwell also thanked the jury of eight men and four women for "the courage they showed in bringing in a just verdict.” Their courage, she added, “restores my faith in our system of justice.” Asked for a comment after the verdict was announced, jury foreman George ('hamberlain said that the panel members had decided to offer no explanations of their decision to acquit Kidwell. Diane Kidwell took the IVfVnsr \\ it Ilf ss Ho|!t'r Ki(I\m II W as liiimilialril. f i i^lilrnril stand at 8 a.m. Friday morning to tell the jury her side of the story. According to her testimony.

The deterioration of relationships between the Kidwells and Saltonstall was illustrated by a series of let ters between the attorneys for both parties. In his let ters. John Helmett, Saltoiist Jill's lawyer, maintained that his client had the riy>lit to widen the roadway to the 50 feet specified in the deeds for all the lots. In his replies, the Kidwells' attorney, l*a vid Konick, insisted that his clients would not remove (Continued on Pane Hi Record Shows Konick Wiped Fingerprints From Weapon By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON According to court records opened early Saturday morning, attorney David L. Koniek wiped fingerprints off t he shotgun used to kill Rarice SpeHman before turning the weapon over to police. In addition, the records show that Koniek, who was initially counsel for Diane Kidwell, failed to admit that he had wiped the gun clean when originally questioned on that that point by Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner. At 1 a.m. on October 22, Judge Thomas Horne unsealed the-recerds-'df'prior hearings and motions filed in the case after a Rappahannock jury returned a verdict of not guilty against Diane Kidwell for the November 9 shotgun slaying of Spellman (see separate story). The Rappahannock News had previously sought to have the record opened and currently has an appeal for the closure before the State Supreme Court. At a candidates’ forum on October 5, Koniek, a candidate for commonwealth’s attorney, was asked if he had wiped the fingerprints from the murder weapon. While not specifically denying the charge, he replied “It would not be appropriate for me to be running for commonwealth’s attorney if that were true. It would not be appropriate for me to be practicing law in the state of Virginia if that were true.” On December 10, 1982, Kidwell dismissed Koniek as her attorney. According to the court records, both Koniek and Baumgardner reported the fingerprint wiping incident to the State Bar Association on December 16. Exclusion Sought In a motion in limine filed January 12, 1983, Kidwell’s new attorneys, John Dowd and Rodney Leffler, asked that the following be excluded from evidence in the case: (1) that Konick, without Kidwell’s knowledged, approval or acquiescence, wiped the shotgun clean of fingerprints on November 9. (2) that he lied to the commonwealth’s attorney on two occasions prior to the indictment about how the shotgun was cleaned of fingerprints. According to affidavits filed with the motion, Konick, the State Police and Sheriff W. A. Buntin arrived at the scene shortly after the shooting. About an hour later, the State Police requested the shotgun, which was in the Kidwell’s home. “Mr. Konick wiped off the shotgun and gave it to the State Police,” the motion states. Between November 9 and December 8, Baumgardner queried Konick about the fact that the shotgun had been cleaned of fingerprints and asked Konick if he had any information about that fact, according to the affidavits. Konick did not report to the commonwealth’s attorney that he had wiped off the shotgun and did not advise Diane Kidwell, then his client, of the inquiries, the defense attorneys alledged in their motion. “We were the first ones to ask him (about wiping fingerprints off the weapon) and he admitted it,” said defense counsel John Dowd in a telephone interview Monday. “We told Mr. Konick that he had to inform the commonwealth’s attorney or WE would bring it to Konick Says Matter Shouldn’t Be Blown Out Of Proportion By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON After reading the previously sealed record in the Kidwell case, David Konick, Diane Kidwell's former lawyer and candidate for commonwealth’s attorney in the upcoming election, requested the opportunity to respond. “There’s no question that I made a mistake by handling the shotgun in the course of turning it, over to the State Police,” said Konick, reading from a prepared statement in an interview in his office late Tuesday afternoon. “In some people’s minds this incident raises questions about my honesty and integrity. Honesty and integrity do not prevent a person from ever making mistakes. The question is what you do after you’ve made a mistake. “When it came to my attention that there were apparently no fingerprints on the shotgun and after consultation with Mr. Dowd and Mr. Leffler (Kidwell’s attorneys), I made a full and forthright disclosure of my actions t,o the commonwealth’s attorney and to the Virginia State Bar. As I understand and as the record makes clear, the fingerprints or lack of fingerprints were never a material issue in the case in either trial. “My actions violated no laws of the Commonwealth. I commited no crime. I had no criminal intent what so ever and none of my actions were taken with any intent to obstruct or impede the investigation of the case or the judicial process. “Following my disclosure of my actions to Bar counsel, my conduct was thoroughly investigated hy the Seventh District Kthics Committee of the Virginia State Bar. My license to practice law was not sus pended or revoked. The matter is closed." Konick was informed at the outset of the inter view that the Rappahannock News wanted answers to three questions: (1) did he wipe the fingerprints from the gun Diane Kidwell used to kill Ranee Spellman, (12) when questioned hy the commonwealth's attorney on this point, did he lie about hie actions and CD if he did wipe the fingerprints from the gun, how did he explain his answers at the candidates forum on < ictober .r>. Does Not Know “1 think 1 want to answer your questions now,” Konick said, interrupting his prepared statement and addressing the first inquiry. “1 do not honestly know the answer to your question and 1 think the best way to answer is to say exactly what happened that day. “As 1 said previously, the State Police asked me if the Kidwells hail any objections to turning over the shotgun. I went to get the gun and instinctively picked it up to check to see If it was loaded, and 1 opened the chamber of the gun. At that point , knowing that it was Roger Kidwell’s gun, knowing that he had handled the gun and that he had taken it away from Diane (Kidwell) and brought it back up to the house after the shooting and fearing that I might have unintentionally smudged Diane’s fingerprints by checking to see if the gun was loaded and therefore fearing that Roger Kidwell might be wrongfully charged with a crime he did Helicopter Hunt Nets $100 Fine Two suspects in the Labor Day weekend State Police marijuana air search were sentenced in general district court Tuesday. Represented by Orange attorney Samuel P. Higginbotham. Joseph and Madeline Ferguson of Woodville pled guilty to the reduced charge of possession of marijuana, received a 30 day suspended sentence and were fined $100 plus court costs. The charges were reduced from possession of marijuana with intent to manufacture and the sentence suspended on the condition that the Fergusons would pay their fines and costs within 30 days and would stay on good behavior for 12 months. The offense was thus reduced to a simple misdemeanor. The Fergusons were arrested on August 30 after state police helicopters swooped low over the county in part of a statewide aerial surveillance to crackdown on homeerown crons of marijuana. Police confiscated 146 marijuana plants from the Fergusons as well as: paper bags containing marijuana residue, a small brown bottle of white powder, a "toot” spoon, plastic bags of dried marijuana, marijuana leaves found pressed between the pages of books, roach clips and rolling papers, photographs of the suspects and marijuana, film canisters and bottles full of marijuana seeds, and a letter from a lawyer believed to discuss the suspects’ relationship with drugs, according to a police list ma le at the time of their arrest. Daniel Ferguson was taken to the Culpeper jail and released on $10,000 cash bond; Madeline Ferguson was taken to the Loudoun County jail and released on her own personal recognizance. No other charges have been brought to date in Rappahannock County as a result of the air searrh Fuel Assistance Starts By MIC HELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County welfare office will begin taking fuel assistance applications Tuesday, November 1. This is the fifth winter federal grants have funded the fuel assistance program intended to help eligible households pay their winter heating costs. The program is not intended to meet the family’s total cost for the heating season, but only to offset the rising cost of home energy. During the 1982-83 winter, 112,720 Virginia households received help with their home heating bills with the average fuel assistance grant coming to $307, according to the Virginia Department of Social Services. The maximum was $700. State officials say they expect the benefit levels to be lower this year because of the limitation of available federal funds. Social Service Commissioner William L. Lukhard says the state “had to make a dificult choice between helping fewer families with larger amounts of fuel aid or helping more families with smaller benefits.” Lukhard says the decision was to offer lower benefits this year rather than to decrease the number of households allowed to participate. The actual amount of assistance allotted to each is based on income, household size and geographic (Continued on Page-18) —Rappahannock News Photo/D.

BZA Okays Cen-Tel Request By MICHELE MAY A regular attendee at meeting of Rappahannock’s board of zoning appeals in recent months, M.L. “Sonny” McBride from Cnetel, can stop coming for a while now that he obtained approval of request #223. At its October 12 meeting, the BZA made its latest decision in its “when-is-astructure - not - a - building” debate and approved an application from Centel to install a “portable” 8x10 foot concrete pad for electronicequipment off Route 729. The application had been rejected the first time it came before the board in July, but McBride asked for reconsideration after the BZA made a favorable ruling in a similar case filed by C’&P Telephone. In August the BZA decided the C&P pad was not a building under the zoning ordinance since it was “erected and not constructed” and “portable” in that it could be picked up by a crane and moved. Before the end of the August meeting McBride was requesting reconsideration in the Centel case. He has been to every meeting since. Despite objections from neighbors, the board approved a special use permit for Central Telephone Company to install electronic equipment on a concrete pad at the intersection of Routes 729 and 522 south of F lint Hill and to maintain a driveway entrance to Route 729. Speaking for the neighbors, Juanda Rodgers explained that a group of citizens had petitioned the highway department to add a right turn lane to Route 729 at that location. She described what she saw as dangerous traffic conditions in the area and suggested that installation of telephone equipment might interfere with acquisition of any future road right-of-way. Rodgers said the neighbors wouldn’t object if the utility could place its equipment further back. The board members decided that they could not consider the right of way issue in their decision since the highway department could go through condemnation procedures. However, the board was concerned about traffic safety at the driveway. Cen Tel had earlier received a letter from the highway department approving the proposed plan. At Wednesday’s meeting, a company representative reported that Cen Tel had also obtained additional culvert wo widen the entrance so maintenance trucks would have additional room to maneuver. Kramer indicated he (Continued on Page 18) Rappahannock Man Assaults Town Police A Washington man allegedly assaulted two Warrenton policemen last Thursday morning after a disturbance was re])orted by a convenience store employee. The tw'o officers finally resorted to mace spray to subdue 41-year-old Robert S. Eubank, according to Warrenton Town Police Chief H. Gary Heath. The incident occurred at 9:50 a.m. when a Broadview Avenue 7-Eleven employee alerted Cpl. E. B. Stubbs as he patrolled the area in his police cruiser, the chief explained. Eubank, whom the store employee reported was disorderly, was inside a pick-up truck parked outside the convenience store when the officer approached, Said the chief. All went well when the officer asked Eubank to step under the store’s eaves because it was raining, the chief explained, but when they began to talk, Kubank became verbally abusive. This prompted the officer to place him under arrest for disorderly conduct, < 'hief Heath said. At that point, Kubank became combative, striking Cpl. Stubbs several times and tearing his uniform, according to the chief. Officer Mark Woolver ton, unaware of the trouble, arrived on the scene, noticed the commotion and went to help Cpl. Stubbs, said the chief. Officer Woolverton’s glasses broke during efforts to subdue the <> foot-1, &<<)pound construction worker, and finally the officers re sorted to mace spray to bring him under control, Chief Heath added. “That had the desired effect," he said. Neither ('pi. Stubbs nor Officer Woolverton was injured in the melee, reported ( hief Heath, but the suspect was taken to Fauquier Hospital. That is standard operating procedure when mace is used to subdue a suspect, Chief Heath said, adding Eubank also was treated for minor scratches. Eubank was charged with two counts of assault and battery, resisting arrest, destruction of public property (the officer’s uniform ) and disorderly conduct. According to Chief Heath, Eubank remains in jail in lieu of a $d,ttOO bond. His preliminary hearing in (jcneral District Court will take place Nov. 15.

Charges and countercharges were also exchanged over gats and the alleged blockage of stream flow. No Help From Sheriff Spellman showed up with the bulldozer before 8 a.m. on November 9, according to Kidwell’s testimony. She said she called Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin for help, only to be told that Buntin didn't want to get involved and didn't want to “mess with" Spellman. The sheriff volunteered to call the farm foreman’s employer, Patricia Saltonstall, and advised Kidwell to get a trespass order and then swear out a warrant if Spellman trespassed, she said.

Sitting in the pick-up truck with the shotgun she had concealed from Spellman’s view as she walked down the hill from her house, Kidwell watched the bulldozer operate “run towards the fence like he was going to knock it over, veer off and sneer like," she testified, adding that he would come all the way up to the truck, as close as he could, pushing dirt up underneath the front bumper. “ ‘Move it!’ he hollored as loud as he could,” Kidwell continued, adding that Spellman threatened to overturn her truck. “I was terrified. Up to that point, I thought I could just sit there and not be in any great danger... He had a violent, furious, dangerous look on his face.” Kidwell said Spellman took his hands off the controls of the bulldozer and reached inside his vest where she believed he kept a weapon (a handgun in a shoulder holster was found on Spellman’s body underneath a buttoned shirt according to testimony. In additon there was a rifle encased in scabbord on the back of the bulldozer. (Neither had been fired.) “My body took over. I picked the gun up, stuck it out the window and fired. I couldn’t see his face for a second when I fired. Afterwards he was still looking at me with the same expression, still glaring, he still had his hand in. I didn’t know that I’d hit him," she said, adding that she’d pushed the shotgun’s lever forward to move another shell into the chamber, yelling “Get Off! Get Off! Get Down!” “The realization hit me that he could still kill me. He could still pull a gun." Kidwell said she got out of the truck, keeping her weapon aimed at Spellman. “I got about half way out and his arm started to shake and his eyes started to go up and I knew I’d hit him. I backed up to the house,” Kidwell concluded, near tears. At The Bench V f ' rhoiiia' Home Didn’t Aim Under cross examination by special prosecutor Steven Merril, Kidwell maintained she didn’t aim the gun. “I just fired...I didn’t want to shoot him. I was trying to save my life.” Addressing Kidwell’s contention that she took the gun down to the truck for protection, Merril asked if she thought Spellman was going to bulldoze her house. I had a right to protect my property,” she said, agreeing, however, that Spellman’s work with the bulldozer stayed entirely within the 50 foot deeded roadway. Testy but controlled under the cross examination, Kidwell acknowledged that she didn’t want or need the roadway any wider; that she knew as early as September that Saltonstall intended to widen it. ‘‘There’s nothing in that deed that says she can widen the road... There’s nothing that says it has to be 50 feet.” “While he was on that bulldozer and the bulldozer was still running, you thought Ranee Spellman was going to shoot you through the cab of your truck in front of all those people (Kidwell’s husband, brother and children) who were running around?” asked Merril. “Yes, I did.” “For what purpose?” the prosecutor asked, noting that Spellman could have pushed the truck out of the Applications are now being taken for land use taxation to be effective for 1984.

But under Merril’s questioning, she admitted telling her brother before she left the house that she didn’t think Spellman would turn the truck over with her in it. Violent Looking Shown the transcript of her first trial, Kidwell acknowledged that she had stated she saw Spellman reach into his vest for cigarettes two or three times during the 20 to 25 minutes she watched from the truck. “Today my recollection is that 1 saw him go into his vest one time and pull out a cigarette.” On that occasion, Kidwell said, she didn’t think Spellman was going for a gun. “He was working. Drawings By Joy Luke He was rather calm and he did it rather casually.” The time she shot, Kidwell explained, was after Spellman threatened her. “His whole .demeanor had changed...He was violent looking, dangerous.” “There’s no question you went down to the roadway to stop him from working on the right-of-way?” asked Merril. "That’s right.” Kidwell agreed that she had said she ’’wasn’t going to let him bulldoze any further,” that the right-of-way was where she was “going to make her stand.” She addeded, “That was a poor choice of words but it’s true,” maintaining further that she had a right to have a gun on her own property. “As far as he knew, you were an unarmed person?" the prosecutor questioned. “I don’t know what he knew,” Kidwell countered but acknowledged that she had attempted to hide the shotgun from Spellman as she walked to the truck. “Your brother came over to you, said the police were coming and asked you to leave?” “That’s true.” “And you said. ‘Leave me alone! Don’t fool with me. This gun is loaded,’ ” the prosecutor asked. “Yes, that’s right.” “At that point, you were mad?” “I was mad, I was scared, I was sad, I was hurt. I must have had a thousand different feelings,” Kidwell replied. “I was terrified, actually, from the time I got up that morning.” Asked if she had shouted “Get off!” to Spellman before she pulled the trigger, the defendant initially denied that she had. Asked the question again after she was given a transcript of earlier testimony to read, she replied “That’s what it says there I said to the special grand jury.” “Then you shot Mr. Spellman and right after you shot him, you yelled, ‘Get off! Get off! Get down!’ ” “That’s right.” “You shot Mr. Spellman because you wanted him to get off the right of way?” “No, sir,” concluded Diane Kidwell. Recalled by the defense, Roger Kidwell, w'ho did not testify at the first trial, related an incident that involved the dead man. Kidwell said that on October 30, 1982, he and his son-inlaw, Robert Dennis, was cutting firewood at the back of the property, after reaching the wood lot by the right-of-way and going around a gate Saltonstall had put up across the road. About 4:30, Spellman drove up on a three-wheeled motorcycle, a rifle in a seabbord attached to the rear, Kidwell said. “He stood and looked at us for a few see-' onds and then he asked w hy I’d cut the locks off the gate. I said I didn’t do it, that if I was going to cut the locks off, I w'ould have done so months before. He asked if I’d lifted the gate off its hinges earlier. I said yes but that there’s been no damage to the gate.” Kidwell testifed. According to the defendant’s husband, Spellman then invited him out into the right-of-way, saying “We can settle this right here and now'.” Kidwell described the farm foreman as looking “crazy, wild.” Kidwell said he sat on the tail gate of his truck. “I “I CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE” “I have been active in community affairs since coming to Rappahannock County — not just during an election year! I have a proven record of citizenship and service to the community, and I want to continue to serve Rappahannock as your next Commonwealth’s Attorney!” DAVE KONICK > CASTLETON COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT- Member since 1979 ► WASHINGTON VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT: Member since 1978 T~er 1979, Board of Directors, 1983, Annual 4th of July Antique Car Show, 1979-oo. ’ RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY LIONS CLUB: Member since 1978, Vice President 198o > WASHINGTON MASONIC LODGE NO. 78 A.F. & A.M.: Member since 1978 an officer every year since 1979; elected Master of the Lodge 1982 and 1983 ► RAPPAHANNOCK HISTORICAL SOCIETY: Vice President, 1980 ’ RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION: incorporator, 1980 elected Treasurer, 1981, 1982 and 1983. DAVID KONICK FOR didn’t want to make any moves that' would provoke him in any way,” he said, adding that Spellman had what looked like a high powered rifle with scope on the motorcycle. “He said he would be down to put the locks back on the gate tomorrow and that if I, my family or my friends, if anyone came through the gate, they would have to answer to him.” Kidwell described his feelings as “upset, humiliated and afraid” and said he’d told his wife of the incident. The Law Sheriff W.A. Buntin Said he had no authority Watched Shooting In earlier cross examination, Kidwell said that when his wife shot Spellman, he was at the back door of their house, drinking a cup of coffee, “looking, watching.” Demonstrating the position of Spellman’s hands, he stuck his right hand underneath an imaginary vest. Referring to a statement Kidw’ell gave the police the day after the shooting, Merril asked if his memory was better then. “It should have been better that day. However, it was quite upsetting.” The prosecutor asked if Kidwell had told police Spellman's hands w'ere “in •about the middle of his chest, away from his body” right after the shot was fired? “I told them the same thing I showed you,” Kidwell replied, again reaching inside an imaginary vest. However, reading from the transcript of his statement to the police, Kidwell said: “It looked like both hands w'ere up in this area (almost on his chest). It looked like they were out aw-ay from his body.” Under further questioning, the defendant’s husband acknowledged that no where in his statement to police the day after the shooting did he say Spellman had his hand in his vest. Called to the stand as a prosecution witness, Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin testified that he never told Diane Kidw'ell during their telephone conversation the morning of November 9 that he would not mess with Ranee Spellman. Buntin said that he never told Kidwell he’d had Drior Drohlems with Spellman, adding that he had not ever had any problems with Saltonstall’s farm manager. “I never had a conversation with Ranee Spellman.” Under cross examination, the sheriff verified he’d told Kidwell that he wouldn’t get involved in a right-of-way dispute and that he’d advised her if she wanted the department’s presence at the scene, she would have to get a “no trespass” notice and then a warrant if Spellman came on her property. “In your capacity as sheriff, do you have any jurisdiction over a right-ofway dispute?” Merril asked. “No,” the sheriff replied. Both sides offered conflicting testimony on Spellman's reputation: the defense that he had a reputation for violence and pugnacity and the prosecution that he had a reputation as a peaceful and law abiding citizen. Only Trespass Conviction Called by the prosecution, Trooper R. A. Baines testified that he’d run a criminal record check on Spellman and found only a 1974 conviction in Culpeper for trespass on which he was found guilty and fined $28. The final prosecution witness, Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner who began the investigation of Spellman’s killing, testifed that he was present during Kidwell’s statement to the police. Baumgardner said the defendant’s husband told police that both of Spellman’s hands were in front of his chest, slightly to the left side, six inches away from his body and outside his clothes just after the shot was fired. In his final argument, Merril told the jury there was only one question: “Was this killing necessary? Was it justified under the law?” In this society, “a human life is the most important commodity we have,” the prosecutor said. “We can never, ever kill to protect personal property, only to save a life...It must be an act of necessity.” Killed From Anger He told the jury that the dispute between Saltsonstall and the Kidwells had no bearing on the case. “Don’t convict her because you think Ranee Spellman was right and don’t acquit her because you think Ranee Spellman was wrong...Convict her because she killed out of anger and not out of necessity." Merril noted that the law allows for malice, a necessary finding in second degree murder, to be inferred from the use of a deadly weapon. “To shoot someone at relatively point blank range with a shotgun— AUCTION Saturday, Oct. 29th, 10:00 A M.

This gun is loaded!’ Is that somebody in fear of her life?” Noting that in previous testimony, Kidwell had admitted yelling “Get off!” to Spellman before the shoot ing, Meml stressed the importance of the sequence of events. “Is that somebody who is scared? Is she yelling ‘Don’t shoot1? No, she’s yelling ‘Get off, both before and after the shot. She killed him because she wanted Ranee Spellman off that right-of-way,” the prosecutor said, adding that Kidwell “had almost a year to justify equal housing OPPORTUNITY ^^Estate Eileen M. Day realtor ARCHITECTURE AND YOU When you make out your list of home-hunting priorities, make sure you include style. Some people just accept the looks of a home — if it’s fairly pleasing, they accept it. Architecture should, however be a reflection of your own personality. If you like new and maybe even daring, innovative ideas, you might consider a contemporary ranch, bi-level, or futuristic design. Are you a nostalgia and antique buff? Then look for a Victorian house complete with "gingerbread" frills, carvings, stained glass, and maybe even a Tiffany lamp! Your love for quiet dignity and formality may mean you’ll be happy in a Georgian. Suppose that view of the Riviera Coast you saw in a movie sticks in your mind. That vision could lead you to a Mediterranean style villa. So don’t take the looks of a home for granted. Put it high on your list of priorities. After all, YOU have to live in it and see it all the time. . . make it an extension of yourself! There’s an emotional attachment between a home and its residents that goes beyond the deed. The style of the home matching the personality of the people has a great deal to do with this bond.

And the seconc most powerful instint, espe dally in a woman, is to pro ted.” The central issue ir the case, he maintained, is “Did Diane Kidwell honestly and reasonably believe sht was going to lose her life?” Dowd recalled that tht defendant’s son, Earl Kid well, who was watching the scene from the hillside, tes tified that Spellman’s hanc was inside his vest just aftei the shot. Dowd described th« right-of-way dispute be tween Saltonstall and the Kidwells as “the most puni tive, arbitrary and foreefu acts against a family that anybody has witnessed.” He asked why Saltonstal wanted to widen the road track from nine feet to “big ger than highway 21” wher the roadway had proved adequate for the 60,000-70,00C pound trucks that hauled timber down from her hilltop lots. “Someone just keeps forcing the issue (ir the right-of-way dispute),’ he said, adding that Saltonstall “wanted to run the Kidwells off. ” His employer had told Diane Kidwell that Spellmar was always armed, the de fense attorney continued. “Diane had seen him with a gun...Could anyone predict ELECT MARTIN LUIS ORFILA FOR SHERIFF OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY 8 years law enforcement experience Former Rappahannock Deputy Sheriff Virginia State Trooper November8th VOTE FOR EXPERIENCE, RESPONSIBILITY, DEDICATION INTEGRITY “I will be very proud to serve you."

The 3.1 percent decrease was blamed on farmers going out of business and moving away. During the time studied, 42 percent of all the county’s farmers had stopped growing crops and 15 percent of the county’s farm acreage was taken out of production.

Miller Picked To Win By JOHN H. AVERILL Rappahannock News Guest Columnist The Incumbent’s Protection Act of 1981, otherwise known as Virginia’s last legislative redistricting, appears to have worked well in the Northern Piedmont. As a matter of fact, in looking over the legislative races to be addressed by Fauquier and Rappahannock voters on November 8, the only real contest appears to be in the 26th Senate District, which includes Rappahannock County and the southernmost portion of Fauquier within its sprawling borders. The 26th District is notable for tw'o reasons. First, it stretches from the western border of Virginia in Rockingham County to the outskirts of the City of Fredericksburg in Southern Fauquier, thereby making it one of the largest Senate districts in the Commonwealth. Secondly, the most importantly, the district has no incumbent because of the retirement of Senator Nathan Miller (R-Rockingham). The Republican nominee, Kevin Miller, is a professor at James Madison University in Harrisonburg wrho narrowly lost a race for the Roanoke-Harrisonburg 6th District congressional seat to Democrat Jim Olin last year. Miller served two terms in the House of Delegates in the late seventies, representing page and Rockingham Counties. The Democrat, W. E. “Ernie” Schlabach, is an optometrist from Harrisonburg who came close to defeating Nathan Miller west of the mountains four years ago. Schlabach carried normally Republican Page County and came within just a few votes of upsetting nathan Miller in overwhelmingly Republican Rockingham. Schlabach was swamped, however, in the more Democratic eastern end of the district, which included Culpeper, Rappahannock and Madison Counties at the time. There is a third reason for the notoriety of the '26th District this year, and that is that neither of the candidates seems to be known by the voters east of the mountains. Polls recently conducted by the Rappahannock News and the Fauquier Democrat show that both Miller and Schlabach are losing overwhelmingly to the “undecided” vote. In normally Democratic Rappahannock, Schlabach has a slight edge. However, many of those responding to the poll asked about the candidates’ party affiliation before expressing their preference. In Southern Fauquier, which is normally regarded as a “swing” area, Miller had a slight edge, writh the “undecided” block being even larger than in Rappahannock. In the final analysis, the election w ill probably be decided west of the Blue Ridge, where both candidates are better known and sixty percent of the district’s population resides. The candidate spending the most money on direct mail and radio advertising in the eastern end of the district will, in the absence of any trend for either candidate, run the best race here. The only issue in the election appears to be Miller’s alleged desire to go on to bigger and better things. Schlabach, noting Miller’s interest in higher office, has adopted the slogan that he (Schlabach) “only wants to be a State Senator.” Both candidates fall into the “moderate-conservative” area of the political spectrum. All in all, it looks like the GOP, given its superior financial resources, the valley’s traditional Republicanism and Kevin Miller’s better name recognition west of the mountains, will hold on to this seat. An upset by Schlabach cannot, however, be ruled out. Membership Drive Underway Since its birth in May, 1982, the Rappahannock Association For The Arts and The Community (RAAC) has sponsored gospel concerts, classical music concerts, a Christmas pageant, theatrical productions, several street dances, country music concerts and dances, workshops by local artists and three film series. This winter, RAAC will present Voices of Rappahannock, a project celebrating Rappahannock’s 150th birthday with an original play based on the county’s history and a lecture series, almost completed, with scholars and community members addressing important county issues. The final lecture - on Visions of the Future - will be presented on November 18, with the play on December 2, 3, 9 and 10. This fall and winter marks a membership drive for the young organization. RAAC’s new manager, Laurie Marshall, notes that RAAC membership entitles families or individuals to discounts for all events and a calendar of cultural events. Marshall’s position, funded by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and Public Policy, was a response by this state group * to the demonstrated community support for RAAC. Increased community support as well as the state grants have swelled the RAAC budget to more than twice its original size. Future plans call for a children’s puppet show, workshops for the handicapped, more senior citizens’ events and more concerts, films and dances, all available at reduced price to members. To join RAAC during its fall fund drive, call the RAAC office at 675-3193 or the membership coordinator, Carol Hales, at 6358636.

He is president of his own company in Manassas. At the time of Ranee’s death, he was known to me only as the provider of services and parts to trucks and vehicles used on my farm. He and his charming family visited Ranee at my farm one afternoon in 1981, and last year, unknown to Ranee or me, purchased property in Rappahannock County. Evans did not learn of Ranee’s death until weeks later and thus missed his funeral. Had I known him as a friend at that time, I would have remembered to contact him about the funeral. When he finally contacted me months after Ranee’s death. Bob and his wonderful little family did indeed become my friends. They have helped me through a most difficult period. The News could have verified these simple facts with a single phone call to Evans or to me, or by turning around and asking me at the forum, where the News editor happened to be sitting directly in front of me. Evidently the News preferred not to risk losing this “reported”—and false—fact of Evans’ prior employment by me by checking facts. The News appears to believe that a tough question put to a candidate at a public forum cannot stand alone, followed by the candidate’s own answer. It appears to see its responsibility as one of “balancing” the tough question, not by reporting just the candidate’s presumably capable answer or any follow-up questions by his supporters, but by foscusing attention on the questioner, whose possible bias it sees as devaluing the credibility of his question. Nothing could be more manipulative. It violates everything I was ever taught as a journalist about reporting. Evans’ question was valid whether he was my son or a total stranger to me. Evans is a veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department. Anyone who knows him, even for the short time I have known him, knows he is his own person. His question to Konick can stand on its own merit and was totally appropriate. I cannot think of a more important question to put to the candidate for our county’s highest legal office than to ask him about his rumored misconduct in the af-. termath of a homicide by his client. This is no different than the tough Watergate and Chappaquiddick questions put to Richard Nixon and Teddy Kennedy, respectively, about their alleged criminal conduct. The only inappropriate conduct at the forum were the two outbursts of “Inappropriate” from the audience and moderator Lee Bird’s failure to firmly insist upon the right of a citizen at a much-publicized candidates’ forum to complete his question without intimidation. No areas of questioning had been rules off limits prior to the meeting. PAT SALTONSTALL Flint Hill Support Appreciated To the editor: We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the great many people who helped make the “Putting on the Ritz” 4-H Benefit Fashion Show such a tremendous artistic and financial success. This was truly a community-supported effort on behalf of the community and its young people. So many gave of themselves in so many ways that it would take a full page here to list them all individually. But we would like particularly to note Moregan Zale of Washington Antiques and Upholstery and Sam O’Connor for their loan of special period pieces and for their fine fashion advice. Also the kind generosity of Country Manor Gift Shop, Brookside Fruits and Crafts, Lyle Atkins, Calvin’s Fruit Market, Baldwin’s West End Shell, Hill Atkins, Elmer’s 66, Sperry ville Fruit Stand, Burke’s Fruit Market Sperryville, Huey Atkins, Sperryville Emporium, Jenkins’ Fruit Stand, Old Hollow Grocery, Wayland Fruit Stand, Snead Orchards and Carson Johnson, who all donated cider for the event, as well as Birgitt Thornhill and the many people who cooked and baked the delicious refreshments. We greatly appreciate the kind cooperation of Mrs. Piper and the Rappahannock Elementary School who hosted the event, the Rappahannock Women’s Club for the generous loan of their ramp and backdrop and the Rappahannock Hunt Club for the loan of their sound speakers. And of course, we owe a great debt to the Rappahannock News for constant coverage and support. The decorations by Tee Reynolds and the RAAC Historical Dancers added a very special touch of class to the evening. Also to be thanked are the 4-H Junior Leaders who gave up their Saturday night to come and assist with the silent auction. The evening would ave been lifeless indeed without Peter Kreyling’s sound and lighting expertise. Barbara Sherman’s piano music that historically matched each fashion was a real delight. Vi Vierling’s “stitch witchery” and Margie Righter’s hair styling assistance kept the models and their outfits looking their best. Our auction and sales assistants, June Hawks, Margaret Lee, Charlotte Nichols and Sharon Luke, helped everything run smoothly. Finally, Susan Carney, Sandra Cartwright-Brown and Aileen Barnes deserve acclaim for their tireless efforts and unflagging support. And a very special thank you to those 25 models who took to the stage with great style and panache, much to the entertainment and delight of a supportive audience. The $2,500 raised by this event will go towards making an eight-week summer day camp a reality for as many as 600 Rappahannock children. All interested fammilies should watch for further details about the camp in the coming months. Your continued support is appreciated. PALI DELEVITT ALLAN AND FREEMEN ALLAN Huntly -From Both Barrels — Holiday Celebrates Truth, Liberty By GEORGE BOWLES Sizeable numbers of Virginia conservatives were frothing at the mouth last week. The cause of their upset was the overwhelming Senate vote in favor of a national holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The House of Representatives had approved the legislation earlier. The holiday will be observed on the third Monday in January beginning in 1986. Even more galling to the Old Dominion’s right wing was the unexpected support the measure received from the state’s two Republican Senators, John Warner and Paul Trible. Compounding the opponents’ frustration was President Reagan’s assurance, however reluctant, that he would sign the holiday bill into law. Opponents of the measure cited three major reasons for their objections. They were convinced, first, that sealed FBI records would prove King was a womanizer, and therefore morally unfit for such a national honor. Secondly, they believed that his civil rights crusade was Communist inspired, recalling that he once had kind words to say about Ho Chi Minh during the Vietnam War. And thirdly, they noted that only two other persons, Washington and Columbus, are honored with national holidays, lhey contended that while King was no doubt a hero to blacks, others, such as Thomas Jefferson, Madison or Lincoln, were more worthy of the honor. The far larger reason, of course, although acknowledged only with a wink and left unsaid, is that many still view a national holiday for any black person w'ith revulsion. They are especially appalled by the thought of honoring one who had led in upsetting the South’s centuries-old tradition of black subservience, and in wrecking the comfortable (for whites) doctrine of white supremacy. Well, King was not the first figure of national prominence to be accused of amorous adventuring. Similar charges, real or fanciful, were levelled at, for example, Washington, Jefferson, Cleveland, Harding, FDR, Eisenhower and Jack Kennedy, to name but a few. What it comes down to is the fact that the private morals of public men have seldom been in accurate yardstick with which to measure their public worth. Beyond that, another young crusader, this one from Nazareth, had some advice on the subject 20 centures ago. He said, in effect, “Let him who is guiltless among you cast the first stone.” King was, indeed, an outspoken critic of the Vietnam war, and he did speak admiringly of the North Vietnam leader. But it must be remembered that King had seen black children killed when their church was bombed. He had seen the brutal burning of civil rights buses, the ambush murder of black leaders, and the police dogs and firehoses turned on his people. He had been repeatedly jailed for asserting his rights under the Constitution. When he saw the systematic and legally sanctioned violation of his strongly held principals, he rebelled. Actually, in one of the ironies of history, Gen. Robert E. Lee did essentially the same thing for the same reason. In truth, King’s crusade to win political and employment equity for his people under American capitalism was about as far from a Community activity as you can get. The third objection had somewhat more merit. There are, indeed, many heroes of the Republic, more prominent than King, who would appear to stand ahead of him in line for the national holiday honors. But then, King’s case is different from all the others. Black Americans make up our most numerous and most visible minority group. Yet unlike the other miniorities - the Irish, Jews, Germans, Orientals and others - they, alone, came to these shores involuntarily. The others arrived seeking the blessings of freedom in the new land; the blacks came in chains on slave ships. The other minorities were able to make their way into the mainstream of American society. The blacks were prevented by law and custom from doing so. For nearly 250 years they were servants and slaves, and their condition worsened with each passing decade. After the War Between the States and emancipation, for the next century they were the victims of institutionalized, government-condoned and often brutal discrimination. When Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to move to the back of the bus in Montgomery, Ala. in 1956, the civil rights battle was joined, and the 27year-old Martin Luther King Jr. became its spiritual leader. For the first time in human history, the members of an oppressed minority group fought not to destroy their oppressors, but only to have a just share in their society; not to overturn the existing order, but to make that order live up to the promises of its own Constitution. Thus both Washington and King led revolutions, each in its own way unique in history, to set their people free. In spite of the bombed churches, burned buses, police dogs, firehoses and his own assassination, King’s dream won, or at least the stage has been set for its ultimate victory. Through his efforts 26 million black Americans now have a chance to participate in the rights and responsibilities which go with citizenship, and understandably those millions want to do King honor. It has, after all, taken them 350 years to be able to enter into the life of their own country and to walk uprightly as fully free citizens. In spite of the criticism of the bill’s opponents, Senators Warner and Trible are to be congratulated for their courageous votes on the measure. While the holiday honors Dr. King, it should also be viewed by all Americans as a celebration of the truth that the tree of liberty is alive and well, and, however slowly, continues to grow' and extend its shelter.

Out Of Proportion (Continued from Page 1) not commit, I impulsively wiped off the barrel of the shotgun with the rag I was using to hold it. Instantaneously, I realized this was a mistake and I put the gun down. “I do not know whether or not in fact Roger Kidwell’s fingerprints were on the gun. I did not wipe off the stock or the chamber or the trigger of the gun. I then turned the gun over to Trooper Baines and Sgt. Milner who handled it and unloaded it with the same two rags I used and in the course of their handling the gun, at one point Sgt. Milner almost dropped the gun and caught it in mid air, before it hit the ground, with the rags. This is why I can not honestly say whether or not any lack of fingerprints was a result of my handling of the weapon.” Did Not Lie When asked if he’d lied about his actions to the commonwealth’s attorney at any point, Konick answered: “No. When Doug Baumgardner first indicated to me that he had been told there were no fingerprints on the gun, I immediately told him that I had handled the gun with the rags and that Sgt. Milner had also.” Konick was apprised that defense attorney John Dowd had been asked if he and attorney Rod Leffler had questioned Konick regarding the fingerprint incident and that Dowd had confirmed that (1) Konick admitted he had wiped the prints off and (2) they had then told him either he was to give the information to Baumgardner or they would. Konick did not deny making the admission. However, regarding their allegations in the previously sealed record, Konick said: “Mr. Dowd and Mr. Leffler have taken a considerable degree of license with the facts in drafting that motion with respect to my handling of the gun and my subsequent discussion with Mr. Baumgardner.” Asked to explain his answers at the candidates forum, Konick said: “In my statement on October 5, I said that I would respond to the specific question read by Mr. Bird—whether or not it was a fact that there were no fingerprints on the gun. According to my information—which comes directly from Sgt. Milner— there were fingerprints on the gun but these fingerprints could not be identified.” Konick was reminded that Bob Evans had stated: “It’s said that Konick wiped the fingerprints off the murder weapon...I don’t think it’s appropriate for a man like that to be running for commonwealth’s attorney” and that he had replied—apparently to Evans, “It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to be running for commonwealth’s attorney if that were true. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to be practicing law in the state of Virginia if that were true.” Replied Only To Bird In Tuesday’s interview, Konick maintained he did not address Evan’s statement at all at the forum, “only the question read by Mr. Bird.” His remarks about the appropriateness of his candidacy were made in response to the question as to whether the police report stated there were no fingerprints on the gun. “If there were no fingerprints on the gun, then it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to run,” he said, adding that he had not responded to Evan’s statement “because I was under a court order not to respond to specific questions regarding the fingerprint matter.” Returning to his type written statement, Konick read: “This incident is over and done with. It’s finished business. Although my experience and connection with this matter has been a very painful one for me and for my family and for my friends, I think I am a better person for it. “The Bible says ‘Be not righteous overmuch...There is not a just man upon earth that doeth good and sinneth not.’ “This incident is not a campaign issue in the commonwealth’s attorney’s race. I don’t think people in Rappahannock County are interested in hearing either candidate tear down the other’s reputation. They are interested in who can do the best job for the future of Rappahannock County. “I am not perfect and I never claimed to be but I do want to serve this community as commonwealth’s attorney and my determination to win this election remains as strong as ever. I don’t think this matter should be taken out of context and blown out of proportion for purely political reasons.” SHOOTING MATCH Every Friday Night 7:30 p.m. Washington Volunteer Fire Department No sleeves allowed Larqe Prizes Timely Response Could Have Averted Tragedy By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock N«w« Staff Writer The special grand jury empaneled to investigate the shooting death last November of Flint Hill farm manager Ranee Spellman offered recommendations that ranged from charges to be lodged against the woman accused of the slaying to the conduct of local law enforcement. The special grand jury’s recommendations, dated December 1, 1982, are part of the previously closed record unsealed early Saturday morning by Circuit Court Judge Thomas Home after a jury returned a not guilty verdict against Diane Kidwell in the Spellman shooting. By law, grand jury deliberations are secret. But portions of testimony given before Rappahannock’s special grand jury were reviewed by both defense and prosecution attorneys to determine if Kidwell’s original counsel had violated her sixth amendment rights and revealed privileged information in his testimony before the panel. According to the sealed record opened last weekend, Judge Home held that the regular grand jury’s indictment was not tainted by release earlier of any confidential information to the special grand jury. However, findings of that special grand jury were read into the record of the closed hearing on the Kid' well case held February 25 in the court house in Washington. At the trial last week and at an earlier hearing that ended in a hung jury and mistrial, Diane Kidwell testifed that just prior to the shooting, she had talked by telephone with Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Bun tin and requested the sheriff to come to the scene According to Kidwell, the sheriff said he didn’t want to get involved and didn’t want to “mess with” Ranee Spellman and suggested instead that she post her property against treaspass and if Spellman then trespassed, obtain a warrant which the sheriffs department would serve. In both hearings, Buntin maintained that he never said he didn’t want to mess with Spellman but acknowledged that he told Kidwell he lacked authority in a right-of-way dispute. Citizens Need Assurances The first recommendation of the special grand jury suggests “steps be taken to assure the residents of Rappahannock County that prompt and effective assistance will be provided by the Sheriffs Department and/or the Virginia State Police whenever the need arises.” The special investigative panel also concluded that “without the benefit of such assurances, some citizens will resort to violence to resolve their differences and tragedies of this nature (the Spellman shooting) will be repeated.” The panel split on recommendation for charges against Diane Kidwell: six recommended that she be indicted for voluntary manslaughter, three proposed second degree murder. Ranee Spellman was shot by Kidwell from her pick-up truck as he operated a bulldozer on a disputed right-of-way which served two lots owned by the Kidwells and four lots belonging to Spellman’s employer, Patricia Saltonstall, owner of Points of View Farm. Husband Loaded Gun The special grand jury found that Roger Kidwell, Sr., had loaded the shotgun used to kill Spellman on the morning of November 9 after hearing the approach of the bulldozer. The panel also found that Mrs. Patricia Saltonstall and her agent, Ranee Spellman, veere not originally acting in good faith consistent with the previous considerations shown them by other users of the common right-of-way. The special grand jury also noted that it was “commonly rumored in the local community that Rand (sic) Spellman carried a handgun.” While Kidwell was sitting in her pick-up truck at the edge of the right-of-way, Spellman in the bulldozer “made two passes at the truck,” according to the special grand jury’s findings. The panel concluded that Kidwell felt “angry, threatened and terrified.” According to testimony at the two hearings, Kidwell’s brother, Ronnie Farmer, called the State Police and requested assistance and was told that a trooper was responding to the call prior to the shooting incident. However, the special grand jury held that when Farmer described the situation to the State Police, the gravity of the situation was not relayed to Trooper R. A. Baines, who responded to the scene. Baines and Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin arrived within minutes of the shooting. “Upon arrival at the scene, Trooper Baines took charge and performed in a professional manner. He is a credit to the Virginia State Police,” the special grand jury found. But the panel also concluded that “a more timely response by law enforcement personnel most probably would have averted this tragedy.” DAR Welcomed Mr. and Mrs. Rex Lindstrom, dressed in Colonial Costumes of 1833, were on the welcoming committee when members of the Cul WHEN YOU VOTE NOVEMBER 8th FOR RAYMOND “ANDY” GUEST (For The House Of Delegates) VOTE FOR KEVIN MILLER (For The State Senate) “THEY’LL BOTH WORK FOR YOU” Vote Republican on November 8th! By Authority of Paul M. Frantz, Treasurer Rappahannock Republican Party peper Minute Men Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution met at the Historical Museum in Washington, Va. for their monthly meeting October 11. Mrs. Howard Holschuh, past president of the Rappahannock Historical Society, spoke on the establishment of the Museum and of the many records added to the Museum. The feature speaker of the afternoon was Mrs. C.E. Johnson, Jr. who reviewed the book which she and her husband wrote. Rappahannock County, she said, was established in 1833 having separated from Culpeper County. At this time Woodville and Washington were the two towns in the county, so the question arose as to where the county seat should be. Around 1835 the Court House was built at Washington. Other interesting facts concerning the early history were brought out by Mrs. Johnson. During the business part of the meeting presided over by Mrs. Dale Metzinger announcements were made of the chartered bus trip to Washington, D.C. for a tour of the Museum and Library at Constitution Hall November 3 and also of the National Defense meeting Fingerprints (Continued from Page 1) his attention. And Mr. Koniek told him—in our presence.” i «ln affidavit filed January 12, Dowd and Leffler alleged that Koniek admitted wiping the weapon clean and that he had the action on his own initiative. Koniek denied that Diane Kidwell or anyone else had requested him to wipe off the shotgun, according to the attorneys. He admitted to Dowd and Leffler on December 7 that he had lied on two occasions to the commonwealth's attorney when questioned about the cleaned off shotgun, the defense attorneys reported. According to the record, Koniek met with Baumgardner, Leffler and Dowd in his office on December 8 and admitted again all the previously stated allegations. Memo From Baumgardner The file also contains a memorandum from Douglas Baumgardner dated December 16 regarding a conversation in his office in which Koniek brought up the fingerprint wiping incident and asked if it would be an issue at Kidwell’s trial. According to the commonwealth’s attorney’s memo, Koniek said: —he didn’t trust Dowd and Leffler and the only reason for bringing out the information “would be to get him," —if the matter came out in court or elsewhere, he would “go down swinging” and was prepared to “spill his guts out” and “tell a lot of things, including some things that might be privileged.” According to the memo, Koniek brought up the question of a possible ethics violation on his part and Baumgardner advised him that it was his, the commonwealth’s attorney’s, duty to report the matter to the Virginia State Bar. In his memo, Baumgardner stated that Koniek responded that if this came out, either through Bar proceedings or in Kidwell's trial, it would mean “the end of his career as an attorney in this community.” According to the memo, Koniek repeatedly asked Baumgardner what he planned to do and maintained that wiping the gun clean was something he did “very quickly and spontaneously and that he was very concerned about the implications of what he had done... Mr. Koniek asked me on several occasions whether he should resign his license to practice law. 1 did not respond,” Baumgardner concluded in his memo. Burch Appointed In an order dated February 11, 1983, Judge Home appointed William T. Burch, commonwealth’s attorney in Loudoun, special prosecutor “in the Matter of David L. Koniek,” apparently agreeding with Baumgardner’s contention that it would be improper for him to prosecute. A second order from Judge Horne effective May 16 gave Baumgardner permission to testify in disciplinary action brought by the Seventh District Committee of the Virginia Bar Association against Koniek. The previously sealed record includes a transcript of a February 9 hearing in Loudoun. At that time, Judge Horne overruled a defense motion for dismissal of charges against Kidw-ell made on the grounds that her Sixth Amendment rights had been violated by Konick when he testifed before the special grand jury. A ruling on the defense’s motion in limine regarding any evidence that the shotgun used by the defendant was wiped clean of fingerprints by Koniek was deferred, based on the prosecutor’s representation that he did not intend to introduce any such evidence in the trial in this case. Accessory? In a closed hearing on February 2 in Rappahannock. Baumgardner testified that he considered Konicks actions may have made the attorney an accessory to the act (of shooting Spellman), according to the transcript. The commonwealth’s attorney added that he wasn t sure what Konick meant bv threats that he would "go down swinging" and would “spill his guts out and thought that the remarks could have referred to Mrs. Kidwell, Dowd and Leffler or himself. As to whether Konick had given him confidential ot privileged information, Baumgardner maintained that his information came “from the circumstances” in the case. Konick was also questioned at the February 2 closed hearing. According to the transcript, he maintained that he had discussed disclosures he made to the grand jury in advance with Diane Kidwell before he testified. He said he didn't believe he had disclosed anything that was privileged and that he had Kidwell’s permission implicit in earlier conversations with his former client—to tell the grand jury she shot Ranee Spellman. Konick acknowledged discussing with Baumgardner on December 1(1 that he may have been involved “in some criminal act” and if what he had done was a violation of any of the Bar’s Cannons of Ethics. He maintained that he didn’t discuss anything “about Diane Kidwell per se,” just the facts related to his own actions. The transcript quotes Dowd as asking Konick if he told Baumgardner that if wiping fingerprints from the shotgun came up,, "you would go down swinging and you were prepared to tell a lot of things, including some things that might be privileged?” “No, not in those words; there was a comment,” Konick replied. He said he had the impression from Baumgardner that the incident “was going to be used to hurt me...I did say to him that if the thing was going to be twisted out of context, that 1 would go down swinging or something like that...I didn’t say anything about telling him privileged information and 1 didn't reveal any to him.” After Baumgardner stated that he knew a lot about the case, “I did tell him that I knew a lot about the case that had not come out...but I didn’t say that I was prepared to tell it or reveal it.” Konick said he didn't recall using the expression "spill my guts out" or whether he asked the commonwealth’s attorney if he was going to make disclosures to the State Bar. He said he told Baumgardner that he didn’t consider what he did to be a criminal act or a violation of ethics. According to the transcript, Konick acknowledged that he told Baumgardner that disclosure of the incident “would have an adverse impact on my career to the point where I might not be able to continue to practice law, not because 1 was going to be disbarred or anything like that but just because this is a very small community and so forth.” Konie testified that Baumgardner has informed him a few days prior to that December l(i conversation that he was contemplating “a variety of criminal charges to be brought against me.” Konick gave his reasons for the December 1(5 visit and discussion in the commonwealth’s attorney’s office; “If he was going to prosecute or file a complaint with the state bar, fine, do it and let’s get it over with. He added that he didn’t think the information “should be leaked to various sources, including the newspaper, and made subject to rumor.” John Henry’s The Man!

Rappahannock County School News Scary Story Winners Ran Students Write Well Panther Pause By Clarence Pendleton and Ken Estes x KCHS Reporters The Rappahannock County High School now offers intramural sports to the student body. In charge of intramurals is Mr. Currie. Mr. Currie saw there was a need for more organization in the games that students played in the mornings. He also felt that many of the students who are unable to stay after school should be allowed to participate in organized sports. At this time the school year is divided into three seasons. Each season has two different sports, one for girls, the other for boys. At this point in time, flagfootball and women's soccer are offered. There are about 50 students enrolled in these two sports. Mr. Currie feels the program has been very successful. He sees much competition among students and a real feeling of being part of a team. During the winter, basketball and possibly wrestling will take the place of football and soccer. The spring sports will include softball and frisbee golf. Right now little money has been needed for the intramurals, mostly because equipment from the gym has been used and teachers are donating their time to coach and referee.

The 215 entries in this year's scary story contest displayed excellent writing style, creative plotting and spooky settings. Rappahannocks’s students did credit to the old home state of Edgar Allen Poe — and some of the stories. such as Tobias Dengel’s winning entry in the grades six-eighth category, were tantalizingly reminiscent of the Poe style. Cricket Dye's "Halloween Night" had the editor “hearing chains rattling in her attic" — one of the re quirements in the contest rules — and Laurel Gray’s “His Master’s Voice” made three judges cry. And Michael Irani's impressed them with his humor and creativity. Many of the rest of the stories packed as strong impacts and it would take a thick book to publish all the good scray stories submitted this year. The contest results are a credit to the students and teachers in Rappahannock County. W' Love But Hate 1st Place Grades 6-8 Tobias Dengel tirade 7 Wakefield "You are a failure! A nopood! A loser! You! You! Can't you be like your older brother — a success? You're a failure! You’re a no-good! Your brother is so good! But you? No, you’re not!” 1 can distinctly remember these words from my mother. Oh! How they anger me! But. yes. my brother, yes, he's the cause of all this. He couldn't help it, though. It wasn't his fault. But it was — he was so good in school, in sports, in EVERYTHING! I hated him. but I loved him! My. mother, be she cursed, threw me out of the house aftgr I dropped out of high school at 16. But my brother, every night, came into the ghetto where I was living and gave me some money — for food and for shelter. When Mother died he inherited all the money, but he invited me to live in his house. Yes. he was my friend, my only friend, the only person in my world who understood me. my one and only friend. He was still better than I. At parties, after getting drunk, he ridiculed me in his own alcoholic stuper. I had to labor, hours at end, to live at his house for another day. So. I had to rid myself of him. I had to. there was no other way to survive. I devised the ultimate plan! It was flawless! Being November, we had gone hunting every day between 10 o'clock and one o’clock at night. We had a light, which lured the deer to us, and this and only this would give a hint of where we were. Near our usual hunting site was a large hollow oak. In this, I thought, I would hide the corpse. If anyone, and this was very unlikely, found the body I would merely suggest it was a hunting accident. This would work — it had to! That night a bright, gray moon shone in the sky. I took this full moon as a good omen. We walked to our normal sight, switched on the light and held a lookout for deer. Two hours — two whole hours — I waited for the perfect chance. Then and only then it was there. Me, standing 10 feet in front of me and looking intently toward a moving shape, was perfect prey. I lifted my gun, aimed for his back, and fired! I tried but I couldn't. He loved me. cared for me! He used me as his servant! He gave me food and shelter! He made a fool of me at parties! Oh! I couldn’t! My finger wouldn’t, couldn't fire the bullet. I lowered the gun. A mosquito bit my finger. it cramped tightly together. the gun fired. Oh! Brother, don't die, I didn’t mean to! The bullet pierced his back, he turned around, his eyes, oh! his eyes, they were as open as they could be, glaring, gleaming at me. They stared, and stared and stared. Finally he fell. He was dead! Lifeless! Oh, 1 loved him so, yet I hated him. I’m sorry brother, dear brother. I lifted him into the hollow tree and covered the blood spots with dirt. I lifted the guns on my back and smirked as I walked away. I was rid of him at last! Suddenly I began to run, faster and faster and faster. 1 The leaves rustled behind me! The wind wisped quietly through the trees. The grey moon gleamed in the sky. Our light suddenly shone at me! I ran faster and faster at the top of my possible physical tolerance. Then I was grabbed. I stopped. My heart stopped. Mv lungs stopped. Everything stopped. I dared not look back! I couldn’t! My body wouldn’t move! I gasped for air, air, air! But none came. I was flung into not the past nor the future, not Heaven nor Hell, not now not there. Everything froze! Seconds became hours, hours became months, months became years, years became centuries, centuries became an eternity. Nothing moved! Nothing changed! Oh! Brother, dearest brother, I’m so sorry, so. so, sorry!

Hold on!” Was this a dream, or only Halloween night, When all things right become wrong? 1st Place Grades 9-12 Laurel Gray Grade 12 Wakefield School Scooter sat on the edge of the bed; one floppy ear cocked to listen to the voices of the people. He wagged his tail nervously as they glanced over at him. He didn’t understand what they said, but it didn’t matter. Ail that mattered was Tommy. Scooter perked up his ears as the woman broke into tears. He didn’t understand why things had changed. Why had it been so long since he and his master played in the tall grass or swam in the pond? Scott er nudged the boy’s frail hand with his cold black nose. The boy didn’t ruffle his ears or pat his head; he didn’t even open his eyes. Scotter jumped off the bed and picked up a wind-up toy soldier from the floor. Frank Marshall's voice quavered as he called to the dog, “Scooter boy, c’mon. Time to go out. ” His wife said with pathetic nostaliga, “Look Frank, he doesn’t realize. He still wants to play with Tommy’s soldier like they used to. She put her hands over her face and rubbed her eyes. Frank picked up the PUPP.V, toy soldier still in his mouth, and put him out in the hall. Staring at the door the bewildered puppy couldn’t understand why the boy was so thin and so very pale. All night he waited in the hall, waiting for the door to fly open and his master to trip out into the hall, waiting to jump into the boy’s arms, waiting to hear his voice. In the end, it wasn’t his master’s voice he heal'd, but Tommy’s mother’s, broken with sobs. “Oh, Frank, why Tommy? Why my baby?” The parents stepped wearily into the hall and looked down at Scooter’s hopeful eyes. “Poor thing, they were inseparable," said Frank as they walked away. The next day Frank locked Scooter in the bedroom saying haltingly to his wife, “Don’t want him to. . . uh. . . well. . . disturb the services, don’t want him to chase the...hearse, y’know.” Scooter stared out the bedroom window, waiting for Tommy’s voice, and still chewing the toy soldier. Then he heard a car start. He saw men shut the coffin lid. but before they did he saw Tommy’s face. Scooter dove out the window onto the porch roof then to the ground. He chased the slow string of cars as they wound around the block and to the edge of town. Tommy’s parents stayed until the grave was filled. They were about to leave when Mr. Marshall spotted Scooter at the cemetery's Look Janet! Scooter! Hey, that’s Scooter, isn’t it? He must’ve gotten out. Scooter! Here, boy!” for the first time in his life. Scooter disobeyed. “Maybe we should let him stay. Frank. We can come back tomorrow.” After they left. Scooter went to the little grassless plot md lay there, nose on the ground, tin soldier under one paw. That night it rained. Scooter’s fur hung limply and water dripped from his drooping ears. \Nhen the sun came up he was still there, more than anything Scooter wanted to hear Tommy's voice. Then, in front of his eyes he saw two beat up Nikes. he looked up at the words. "Scooter! Scooter, I’ve been looking everywhere!" A young boy crouched down and ruffled Scooter's eai-s. Scooter jumped up and in an instant everything was wonderful again as they played and ran. Forgotten was the waiting, forgotten the lone liness. Not looking back they sprinted across a sunny field. Tommy first followed by Scooter leaping at his ankles. Scooter didn't look back and see the two figures standing at the grave, shoulders shuddering, tears streaming down their faces. He didn't see how gently Frank Marshall reached out to touch the cold canine laxly lying on the grave. Tommy’s parents turned to walk away. They turned a moment too s»x>n. Behind their backs as they returned to the car. Tommy’s tin soldier marcher! across the grave. Something In The Soup Supriza!

He was mostly proud of his cook, who from Cooksville, Kitcheneo, was considered the best in the land. However, the cook was very clumsy. He spilled the cooking wine, broke WE HAVE WRITTEN A BOOK ABOUT YOU!

In fact, he was so space.v that he convinced King Kingstone of imaginary powers that come to life. The king believed him and practiced his imaginary imaginational powers. One day, the king was in his chambers practicing when he got a call from his old buddy from school. Bud Mifflin. He said he was in town and was coming for dinner. The king immediately notified the cook and told him to make the best soup he had ever made. The cook soon had out his hat (which he believed to help him to think) and went to work. The dish he was going to make was called “soup supriza” which had onions, peppers, spices, veggies and meat in it. While cutting the onions, the cook accidentally cut his finger. His reaction to the pain made him pull his finger away from the knife, over the boiling pot of soup. He had no time to make another pot so he served the soup even though it had three drops of blood in it. After dinner, the king congratulated the cook for his wonderful job on the soup supriza. Every day after then the king would get the cook to make him another serving of the soup. He ate soup for breakfast, dinner, lunch, and as a snack. However he wouldn’t come out of his quarters. Day after day the cook made more and more soup, adding more of the “special ingredient” evervtime. Then, one day, the cook died after making the last pot of soup. This day the king’s daughter brought the last pot of soup to King Kingstone’s room. As she stepped in a shrill scream was heard. The king had fangs stained with blood and the maids who took him his soup were dead now every drop of blood drained from their bodies. The king had killed himself now because the temptation of her was too strong. The king loved his young daughter very much. His imaginary' powers finally paid off. He saved his daughter from death and his kingdom from the imaginary powers which really did exist. ********** VOTE FOR [X] J.

Cross Country Team Finishes 12-1 “For want of two points, a perfect record was lost." That could be cross country coach Ann Spieker's lament as her Rappahannock’s harriers lost their first—and last—regular season contest last Wednesday in the final home quad meet with district foes Strasburg, Stonewall and Brentsville. “And for want of a sound ankle, the points were lost” f^oes the second line of the rewrite. “Every Rappahannock runner posted his or her best time of the year last Wednesday except for Ronnie Atkins (the Panthers’ number two runner) who fell, turned his ankle and couldn’t finish,” the coach said. SHCCTINC /HATCH Saturday Nights 7 p.m. 12 Gauge Guns Sleeves Allowed (PRICES WILL BE: BEEF, PORK OYSTERS, TURKEYS, JACK POTS, etc. Sperry ville Fire Hall Scott Keithley broke the tape at the 3.1 Blue Hock Farms course in 14:36, more than a minute lower than the old RCHS record of 15:42 and just 13 seconds slower than the course record set bv Timmy Holler of Stonewall Jackson. Chris Caperton was second in 14:46. “Chris ran exceptionally well, passing runner after runner in the final mile," Spieker noted. Elwood Dodson was ninth, finishing in 15:43, his best team standing and his best course time of the season. Right behind him in 15:55 for tenth was Craig Kenyon. "Craig really contributed as a team member,” said Spieker. “He held back Strasburg’s Tracy Rusher (11th in 15:56) so Ricky Shaw could join him for a better placing but unfortunately, Rusher split the two Rappahannock runners in a very close contest.” Shaw came in on his heels for 12th in 16:00. David Dodson was sixth man in for the Panthers in 16:47, two secons ahead of Rappahannock’s seventh runner, David Fishbein, posting his best home course time of 16:49. John Dodson knocked a minute off his previous best at Blue Rock, running in 16:56, and Jonathan Watson shaved 1:25 from his personal home record, finishing in 17:16. John Raney lowered his previous mark of 21:09 to 17:31. “That’s 3:38 better!” the coach pointed out. “John has been showing great improvement in his running lately and I’m looking for John to follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Kevin (a former RCHS distance star).” Todd Williams and Pat Coffey posted times of 17:40, three minutes faster than their previous best over the course, accordng to Spieker. “Marc Streagle also ran his best race of the year,” she added. And it wasn’t just the guys who outdid themselves. “Karen (Ludwick), Denise (Eidson) and Maria (Roemer) were three happy girls after all running their best times at home,” Spieker said. Karen was fourth over all among girls from the four schools competing Wednesday, finishing in 19:77. But despite all the personal records set by the Panther runners and a new school mark from Keithley, | the RCHS team still fell two points short of a.perfect season after Atkins, the number two man, was injured and unable to finish. Normally right behind Keithley, he would have finished in the top five—at leastbased on passed performance. Without Atkins, it was Strasburg 33, Rappahannock 34, Stonewall 59 and Brentsville 112. “We have improved a lot but so has Strasburg,” said Spieker, looking forward to the Bull Run District meet this Thursday, October 27. at Clarke County. -Rappahannock News Photo/Ginger Perry HIGH JUMPING Mo Turner was high scorer for the Lady Panthers in Tuesday's game with Luray. > FIBER NO ARTIFICIAL COLORS OR FLAVORS • /. . .A AND KIDS EAT MORE CHEERIOS THAN ANY OTHER CEREAL Kids love Cheerios’ toasted oat taste so much they've made it their #1 cereal.

Along with veteran director Don Bomberger, the Senior Class of RCHS is sponsoring the production of this Shakespearian classic. Just one of the special features of the production is the “thrust" stage which actually expands the size of the RCHS stage, extending it into the auditorium for more actor mpbility and versatility. The “thrust” concept is similar to original stage contraction as it allows the audience to be seated on three sides of the stage. Faculty members Scott Currie and Wayne Leavell have supervised construction of the special platform according to Don Bomberger’s original design. "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" is a fairy tale where the principal characters perform under the influence of illusion and enchantment during the greater part of the play. Spells and visions abound as the characters dream their way through the play with a sort of midsummer ‘madness’. Anyone For Running?

Panthers Pushing For 4th The Lady Panthers take a record of six wins and 11 losses overall and five wins and six losses in the Bull Run District to this Thursday’s home contest and last regular season game against Clarke County. Stipulating that her information wasn’t absolutely up to the minute, coach Theresa McLawhom gave the district rankings at Strasburg first. Stonewall second, Clarke third, George Mason fourth and Rappahannock fifth. The Panthers lost to the Mason Mustangs, a team they beat at home earlier ir a 49-47 double overtime thriller, in Falls Church last Thursday, 26-33. Both teams played sloppily, according to coach McLawhorn, who noted that the half time tally was a low 1518. “We had a chance in the final minutes. We were hanging in there at 23-25 but they pulled away to beat us, 26-33. My girls just didn’t play as a team.” Butler was high scorer for RCHS with nine. “We needed to beat George Mason to put us in fourth place in the district and give us our first tournament game at home. Now it looks like we’ll be on the road. But that’s history now,” she added. However, McLawhorn still held out a chance for the Panthers to grab that fourth ranking, depending on how this Tuesday’s games went and the outcome of Thursday’s final regular season contes with Clarke. “It could be a very important game.” On Monday night over the mountain, the Panthers were blown off the court by Luray’s Bulldogs, coached by former RCHS boys varsity helmsman Jim Logan. The home team blanked Rappahannock in the first quarter, 17-0. “But then Mo Turner brought the team back together. Mo, Connie Compton, Natalie Butler, Donna Atkins and Kim Settle got things clicking in the second quarter to keep the game honest.” But despite their efforts, it was still a lopsided 64-49 loss for the Panthers. “We were outclassed and outplayed,” McLawhorn said, noting that Jennifer Tutt, Luray’s sharp shooting senior, tallied 31 points. On Rappahannock’s side, Turner was high with 21, her best scoring night ever. Natalie Butler had 11 points, the only other Panther in double figures.

“Call It A Successful Season”— “I would call it a successful season,” pronounced coach Glen Davis after his Panthers finished their second varsity soccer season with a 3-7 record. “We are still building and we went 32 the second half of this season,” he noted. “We didn’t really have a best game. It came in spurts,” Davis said, predicting that those spurts will be extended in 1984. The final week started on a sour note with a 3-0 loss to Seton of Manassas. “Mentally, w’e were not ready for that game,” Davis said. The Panthers played poorly, unable to generate any offense. While the Rappahannock players walked up and down the field, Seton’s speedy fullbacks stopped drive after drive at the goalee’s box. But RCHS found the spark again on Wednesday in Charlottesville, the second of three away contests last week. “I was very pleased with the game. We played well,” said Davis. “It was our first away victory and we scored our first three goals away from home. We had never scored away before.” Vinnie Caporuscio ended that drought in the first half with a well-placed shot that hit the far corner of the net. St. Ann’s came back to tie but Caporuscio gave the advantage back to Rappahannock on a penalty goal shot. “James Dennis had a great shot that would have scored but St. Ann's defensive man jumped up and batted down the ball with his hands," Davis said, explaining the penalty kick awarded to his team. The Panthers controlled the ball at midfield, playing "hat many of the team members described as their best game of the season.

Harris took over the coaching duties at the start of the season and, with help from team captains Laurel Gray and Kim Johnson, has led the team to its best start ever. The girls opened tl^e season at home on September 28 against visiting St. James from Hagerstown, Maryland. Wakefield lost, 20. but the Hooters displayed impressive effort, the coach reported. He noted that St. James is one of the finest teams in the area, adding that the Wakefield squad displayed a lot of talent in holding their opponents to 10 for most of the game. St. James' second score came late on a penalty after goalie Leigh Bently lifted her feet too early, Harris said.

A second Wakefield score was called back after the referee ruled she hadn’t seen the goal, coach Harris said. He noted that the JV played gallantly in a lpsing effort, defeated 1-0. ; t The Hooters finally hit the victory column on October 6 when they defeated the Fauquier Falcons in Warrenton. The contest was close, the only score coming from Lori Paluck in the first half. Neither side could gain the advantage in the second half as play was divided between both ends of the field. The game ended 1-0, Wakefield in front. Rapp's final score came as Lucky McCoy took a pass from Jon McCullough in the center, turned and booted the ball into the net in heavy traffic. "Lucky took an excellent shot and managed to muscle the ball through pass the crowd,” coach Davis reported. The final game came at George Mason in Falls Church in the mud Friday afternoon. “The George Mason players had been coached well on how to play on a wet field. 1 hadn’t touched on that at all,” Davis said. Keeping their weight low to the ground and changing direction frequently, the Mustangs stayed on their feet while the Panthers slipped, slid and fell. Rapp couldn’t manage a scoring drive with the poor footing. With the score 1-0, Caprouscio was awarded a goal kick on a penalty call. He slipped in the mud and lost his usual power and the ball missed. The Mustangs, playing without their team star, showed the Panthers a new defensive wrinkle. Every time they got in trouble, they looked to their goalee tor help, using him to stop Rappahannock breakaway. "The fullbacks didn’t try to control the ball at all. They passed to the goalee the entire game,’’ Davis reported.

Old-Time Justice Was Based on Common Sense Jail Inspectors Suggest Improvements Treatment of prisoners and condition of the jail continued to be a concern for the young county and in 1892, a commission composed of Robert Heterick, W. Williamson and Joseph Nicklin were asked to inspect the jail and give a report. They did so, finding the jail both clean and comfortable, and made some recommendations: The undersigned commissioners appointed hg the Judge of the Circuit Court of Law and Chancery for Rappahannock County to inspect the jail of the said County, respectfully beg leave to report, that they have proceeded to execute the duties imposed upon them, they find that the state and condition of the jail is good. The size of that part used as a jail consists of four apartments, two for the safe keeping of prisoners charged with felony, each about ten feet wide and sixteen in length, and two for the reception of debtors, each about twelve feet wide and eighteen in length, and which are adequate to the convenient accommodation of the prisoners who may be confined therein from time to time. We find that the said jail is in good repair, that the same is capable of being sufficiently aired and ventilated in summer, that the debtors apartments are adequate!y supplied with fireplaces, and one of the apartments for prisoners charged with felonious offences has a stove in it which keeps it sufficiently comfortable, but the means proposed of keeping the other warm and comfortable by means of a drum from the other stove are in our opinion inadequate to that purpose, nor is there a fireplace in the last-mentioned apartment. And we find the whole properly secured by bolts bars and locks. We have enquired into the treatment of prisoners by the jailors since the last inspection of the jail which we find to be good, and we are satisfied that the jailors have been accustomed to furnish prisoners confined in the jail by whatever authority with wholesome and sufficient food with sufficient fire when necessary and proper, and with cleanly and sufficient bed and bedding according to the season, that the jail has been duly whitewashed and kept constantly cleanly and properly aired, that there have been no sick prisoners requiring nursing, nor Itch there been an intemperate use of liquor permitted by the said jailors in the jail nor do we believe that they have received therein any Negro slave for safekeeping contrary to the provisions of this act, or without lawful commitment. “We believe that while the jail is sufficient for the convenient accommodation of prisoners for debt that their comfort would be much increased if instead of some present fixtures in the apartments allotted to them there was a space adjoining the east and a part of the north side of the jail enclosed with a substantial wall sufficiently high to prevent escapes into which debtors might ha ve the privilege of going in the day time from the back door of the jail — and which is respectfully submitted by:'' A Modest Courthouse Lmi^sTRA.v WASHINGTON’S FIRST COURT HOUSE — Before the stately brick building was constructed on Gay Street in 1835. court in the fledgling county of Rappahannock was held for two years in the. frame building that stood where the Washington Cash Store is now located. Workmen A.J. Slaughter, Sam Bruce, Sam Hetrick stood on the steps for this old photo taken before the structure was torn down to make way for William Stuart’s General Merchandise Store.

Linda Heimstra drawing from 1834 Courthouse Photo ' * y Old Captain Waldron Kept Woodville Clean "When it comes to the history of Rappahannock County, I just know that it started from Culpeper County in 1833 and they wanted in the plan to have the county seat at Woodville. In fact, the streets were laid off. My great grandmother’s father. Captain John Waldron who lived out at Glen Farm three miles out from Woodville was quite a power in that whole part of the county. He owned land from Woodville clear over to Peola Mills. You could walk on old Captain Waldron’s land without getting off, like the Lanes own all that now, you see, only they have ten thousand acres. My great, great grandfather had about five thousand acres. He didn’t want the county seat at Woodville because he had nine children and he said that the county seat was not the right environment in which to rear families on account of the lawyers playing poker all the time and the drinking that went on in the court sessions - and which was true, you know. But then they wanted it at Washington, and the people up there wanted it, and it went to Washington. The streets were laid off and all that. “An interesting story was that the day that my father drove me in a horse and buggy, and dirt roads then, on September the 15th, 1919, when I went to Washington to start work with the Rappahannock National Bank. The eleven mile drive took two hours with a horse and buggy. He was telling me all the time going there, ‘Harold, you’ve been a good boy so far, all your life, good man, but you’re going up to the county seat, which is a place in which you’ve got to try to live a righteous life. You’ve got good people there, and you've got bad people.” He says, “What you’ve got to remember is what I'm telling you now. I have been one of the best doctors in the State of Virginia and I’vp taken great pride in it and I’m recognized to be. I want you to become one of the best bankers in the state of Virginia. In order to do that you’ve got to continue to work hard and study as you have done and when you get to Washington, avoid the poker players. Don’t get in with any of that crowd. Don’t get in with any of the liquor drinking crowd and keep away from women without character.’ And I have never forgotten it. I mean what he told me that day, I always remembered, to keep away from temptation." Harold Brown Courtesy Voices of Rappahannock Justices Of The Peace, Fertilizer Inspections, AndAn Unarmed Sheriff Aubrey Keyser worked for several years when he was young as a deputy to his father, Hubert Keyser, who was county sheriff for thirty years or so. His father’s father, E.T. Keyser, was a justice of the peace here for the Hampton District in the 1890’s. Justices of the peace under the old system used throughout Virginia had the ability to try misdemeanors, on a street corner in Sperryville or a rock in Woodville, dispensing justice in a prompt and personal manner and assigning felony cases to the grand jury. When witnesses were needed, the justice could issue a summons. Often the offense was witnessed by the officer of the law who brought the offender to justice, so the trial could be held immediately, the offender fined, and everyone on their way home within a few minutes. The system was practical, relied heavily on common sense and was well-suited to rural areas such as Rappahannock where one citizen was appointed as a justice for each district in the county. “They had no real training,” remembers Keyser, “no training of any kind. They were reliable, respected men of the community.” The system of reimbursement left the w'hole justice system open to corruption, however, Keyser said. “Instead of being paid a salary for their services, justices were reimbursed $3 for each case. They were anxious to get cases and the fee was paid by the man who was sentenced.” “So an unscrupulous justice would be more interested in his fee than in making the right decision,” Keyser continued, This wasn’t true about most of them, but there was one, a justice in the Hampton District when I was a deputy. He asked me which of the two men involved would be able to pay the costs, indicating that he would be the one sentenced.” “There was one - the best in the county - he was in the Sperryville area. That was Lee Taylor. Another good, conscientious justice was Rhoads Brown of Woodville, Dr. Brown’s son. He was the one who tried a case on a rock outside.” Keeping Up With Current Law When E.T. Keyser worked as a justice of the peace, he kept up with current state and local law by reviewing the acts of the Assembly. Aubrey Keyser has the publication that belonged to his grandfather with the laws passed during the Assembly of 1896. Commercial fertilizer was of great concern that year and local justices played a role in laws passed governing its quality and sale. Evidently, big-city salesmen were selling loads of fertilizer to unsuspecting farmers, promising bigger yields, better crops, healthier livestock. The General Assembly dealt constantly with the quality of fertilizer sold in Virginia by regulating its composition: “it shall not include lime, land plaster, ashes, or common salt, or tobacco stems, ground or unground.” Four acts were passed by that one Assembly to protect Virginia farmers from fraudulent fertilizer. Who was to make sure that the fertilizer did not contain any of these forbidden items? This is where the justice of the peace came in. For the fee of 25 cents for this service, the justice serving the district containing the farm to be fertilized was to meet the farmer and in his presence; “draw from the fertilizer a fair and correct sample. and in the presence of both seller and buyer, the sample thus drawn shall then be put in a glass or tin vessel and securely sealed, and there shall then be placed on said vessel a label, and l 4 0)1 said label shall be inscribed a certificate, signed by both parties, setting forth that the enclosed sample; the name of the manu facturer, name of the fertilizer from which sample was drawn, and time a>id place when it was drawn; and the cessel shall then be packed and forwarded to the commissioner of agriculture and the commissioner of agriculture, on theanalysis of said sample, shall forward one copy to the seller and one copy to the purchaser of said fertilizer.” An interesting law passed by the Virginia legislators, also in the 1895 session, concerned cruelty to children: "It shall be unlawful for any person haring the care, custody or control of any child under the age of fourteen years to sell, apprentice, gire away, let, or hire out, or otherwise dispose of such child to any person in or for the cocation or occupation, service of purpose of rope or wire walking, begging or peddling, or as a gymnast, contortionist, rider or acrobat in any place whatsoerer, or for any obscene, indescent or immoral purpose, exhibition or practice whatsoerer.” Two laws were passed directed only at Rappahannock, both dealing with improvements to the roads. Appointed for this purpose by that long-ago Assembly were Charles Green of Hampton, C.C. Eastham of Wakefield and R.E. Miller of Stonewall. These gentlemen were charged with laying off the public roads of each magisterial district of the county into sections and appointing an overseer for each section. The road commissioners were paid two dollars a day not to exceed $25 a year. Justices like E.T. Keyser were responsible for seeing that these civil laws were carried out. In addition to this and to sampling fertilizer from time to time, they tried all misdemeanor cases and small civil cases until the trial justice system took over in the 1930’s. An Old-Time Sheriff Serving as sheriff both in the days of the justices of the peace in Rappahannock and under the trial justice system, Sheriff Hubert Keyser held that office from 1919 to 1941. “He was a man with common sense,” remembers Aubrey Keyser. “He never carried a gun and he was never overpowered.” Keyser remembers that the prisoners were treated well: “They always had meat, and beans or rice, and greens, even some sweets, mostly syrup.” There was a jail break once, while Ed Smith was the jailer. Six or seven men were confined, having broken into the post office at Slate Mills. “They only had stolen a very little bit,” said Keyser, “but it was a federal offense, and a felony, so they were in jail awaiting trial.” Ed Smith was a blacksmith as well as a jailer. Somehow, perhaps while they were working around the jailyard, one of the prisoners got a brace and bit from Smith’s shop and all of them escaped. “I tracked one down to Scrabble, where his family lived,” said Keyser. “It was winter, it was cold as can be. When the family saw me coming, the boy went out an upstairs window and out on the roof. It was that big house on a bank in Scrabble and the wind was blowing up that hill and it was freezing. I knew he was out there, with just his shirt on. “Well, I waited. I knew he was there. After a while he appeared at the window, shivering and begging me to let him in. So I took him back to jail.” The young deputy watched his father carry on his sheriffs duties with common sense and compassion. “Sometimes there were family squabbles. My father knew that if he held off a little, they’d settle their dis putes and not have them worsened in a court of law. He was criticized for this — for delaying,” Keyser said. “But nine times out of ten, they’d reach an agreement if he gave them a little time. Then they'd come and ask him to forget the warrant.” The sheriff would serve warrants for domestic squabbles involving violence. One involved a man he knew well, Boots Burke, who worked for him on his place. Burke’s wife came to the sheriff and said that the man had beaten her. She looked all right, but the sheriff went to see Burke, to arrest him. “Old Boots was all scratched up and bloody,” Keyser said. “He could barely walk.” So the sheriff encouraged the couple to try to make a peaceful settlement. There was one time when the unarmed sheriff thought he might be pushing his luck. He had been asked to keep order at an “association” at Sandy Hook, now Huntly. Two or three rowdy church-goers threatened him and advanced upon him. Keyser was saved when some of their fellow church members booted them out of the association meeting. “He was a man with common sense. He never carried a gun and he was never overpowered. There was a lot of talk about the mountain people, the moonshiners. Some of the town folks thought of the people who lived back in the mountains as being rough and lawless. Those that knew them knew better, Keyser said. “You’d go up to Beech Springs - they played poker there. You could leave word w ith anyone at Beech Spring that you needed workers and return at dawn the next day and there would be ten men ready to work. And they’d work right along beside you from dawn to dark. “Others who went there placed orders for moonshine and returned at night to find it ready.” The moonshine and employment mountain communication network helped law enforcement officials. Local lawmen did not have a lot of interest in cleaning up the moonshine businss. It was accepted by Rappahannock people as part of the free enterprise system, although federal agents thought otherwise. Mountain people wanted on other charges were not difficult to find. “I went up to Beech Spring,” said Keyser. “I had ten warrants to serve - I thought it might take days of thrashing through the hollows. I talked to the men playing poker - Virgil Atkins was their spokesman. He asked me when the trial was and said he’d get the men. Sure enough, he had them all there at 2 the next day. From then on, I just left word on who was wanted for court and they’d always be there. They knew they’d get a fair share and they had no dispute with any laws but the whiskey tax. They were not a lawless, rough people. “I remember one case 1 had something lodo with that involved the mountain people. It was a murder case during prohibition days. They were John and Ezra Jenkins - they were some kin, not brothers. Well, Ezra thought that John had told revenuers about his still and he went with his rifle to John’s home to shoot him. Ezra was shot from the house. — and I always thought that John’s mother did it, but John was charged, and Ma was a witness. . > “Now, Mrs. Jenkins was a little old lady and she wore her sunbonnet in court. Ezra's family was so anxious to get a conviction that they hired a prosecutor from Front Royal - Will Armstrong, well-known in those days and he charged a lot of money. Well, Mrs. Jenkins was a reluctant witness, of course, and she tried her best to confuse and mislead Armstrong. Finally, exasperated, he said: ‘Mrs. Jenkins, if you’d take ;ff that bonnet, maybe you could hear me.’ Mr. Armstrong,' she said. ‘I can hear everything that you have to say.’John was exonerated, on self-defense which, of course, it was.” Keyser remembers the case of Willis Dearing, who left an estate, immense for 1915, at $999,000. Although he had several nephews and nieces, Dearing left the estate to only two of them. The others contested the will and the majority of jurors agreed with them, all except for one man who held out against breaking the will. “There was tremendous interest in that case in the county,” Keyset* said. “Everyone said that that one juror had been paid off by the original nephew.” A tragedy remembered by Keyset* occurred in Huntly in the twenties or thirties. An orphan child, staying with folks at Chester Gap, went into the post office at Huntly and shot everyone there. He was sentenced, evidently as an adult, and sent to the penitentiary. Last I heard, said Keyset*, “he was a preacher somewhere.” Another scandal Keyset* helped investigate was the murder of a boy named Finehum who always carried a lot of cash. Another boy up near Beech Spring wanted several hundred dollars for a motorcycle. Finchum was found dead and his friend was riding up and down the road on a brand new motorcycle. A witness had seen the murderer driving Finchum's cat*. Keyset* said, and the boy was later tried and convicted. Keyser also remembers the famous moonshine murder at Nethers where a Nichols killed a Corbin while he worked in the yard. Nichols had heard that Corbin had turned his still in to the revenuers. During prohibition there was a law on the books designed to punish drinkers, Keyser said. In addition to the fine for drinking in public, there was a ten dollar fee (quite a large amount in those days) paid to the law official who arrested the offender. The law was to encourage the arrest and prosecution of those found drunk. Keyser said that he arrested a whole bunch of partygoers in Sperryville, but believing the extra charge was unfair, he returned his fee. “As fast as they came out, I was returning their ten dollars,” he said. Country lawyers of long-ago were colorful characters, not as staid and formal as their stereotype today. In the 19th century, court days were wild, full of people in town for trials, laywers playing poker and taverns full of country folks who made sure their monthly trip to town coincided with court day. For years, J.A. Swan from Culpeper set up his farm equipment in the lot next to the bank. By the twenties and thirties, drinking was more secretive because of prohibition and things had calmed down in town so that it was safe for women and children to be about. But there were some colorful lawyers, Keyser remembers, mentioning especially Botts Strother Will Armstrong and William Meade Fletcher, who went on to gain statewide and national notice. But it was still a day to look at new tractors and Plows, to find a game of cards and to file into the crowded courtroom to see what drama might be unfolding there. <

H ---- Davis Led The Way Through Change * or three separate terms totaling 28 years, George H. Davis, Jr. was commonwealth’s attorney for Rappahannock. His first term was interrupted by war service; his second came about on the death of Botts Strother in 1946, and his third extended from 1960 to 1979, 19 years that saw the county develop zoning and subdivision ordinances, integrate peacefully and weather changes greater than any in its first century and a quarter. He died after two years of retirement in which he tried to separate himself from his long career as Rappahannock’s prosecutor, fishing and visiting after almost three decades of being on call night and day to nudge the wheels of justice. “George came here in 1937,” his wife Dorothy recalled. “But he was always considered an outsider. One time I remember especially is when someone said to him, “George you’re nothing but an agitator.” ‘Why, thanks,’ he said, noting that the agitator is the most useful part of the w ashing machine and there was certainly an analogy there for the agitator in society.” Davis is remembered for speaking his mind, for anticipating problems to come and for wholeheartedly pursuing directions he thought were necessary for the county. More than once, his quick thinking and responses served him well. Once, in a restroom of a gas station on Chester Gap, Davis was confronted by a man he’d prosecuted and sent to prison. “I will kill you,” said the man, indicating he was armed. Davis, unarmed except for the tools of a lawyer, simply talked him out of it. Threats wrere nothing new to the veteran prosecutor. Once, he was actually shot at by the husband of a client he represented in a divorce case. Although the man was eventually brought to justice, several uncomfortable months passed while the man was released on bond and moved in across the street from the Davis family. Another man made it a practice to threaten Davis from time to time, until the day when he telephoned to say he was Jesus Christ and that he would befriend Davis w’hen he came. I left the house that day,” Dorothy Davis remembers. “But not before I thanked the caller and politely said goodbye just as though he were making sense.” Other threats as well as vocal opposition came when Davis refused to circumvent the law and avoid integration, Mrs. Davis said. When asked by the supervisors to find a loophole in the Supreme Court decision, Davis told them that he would uphold the law of the land including that law which would eventually benefit the white as well as the black children of the county. “In Front Royal they just got around it,” Mrs. Davis said. “There was just one lonely voice, The Warren Sentinel, asking for sanity and fairness in the integration of the schools. This issue almost ruined that newspaper. No one would advertise in it and subscriptions went down. It was a bitter, troubling time for everyone. “So here in Rappahannock, schools remained open, taking children bused in from Warren where the schools had closed in massive resistance. George said he would resign rather than be a party to resisting integration.” Troubles for Davis did not end there. Several integration opponents convinced leading local blacks that integration would mean no black teachers could teach and that the black children would not get modem schools. Before, the law had been ‘separate but equal’,” said Mrs. Davis. “Now, anyone with two eyes could look at the black schools and see that they weren’t equal. When integration became a threat, the county pushed for equal facilities and promised the black children a new, modern centralized school. So the black community opposed George’s efforts, too.” Time went by and the crisis eased a bit. Rappahannock did integrate with no violence except the troubling experiences of the first few black chidren. “In fact, the county was integrated before it was publicly known,” Mrs. Davis said. “George had begged the Rappahannock News not to make anything of it, so there was no public outcry at first.” Mrs. Davis credits the dedicated career teachers with making integration work as well as it did here. With that battle fought and won, a new issue prevented the commonwealth attorney from returning to normal routine. A subdivision with no possible plan for water or sewage on Chester Gap prompted Davis to take on the issue of zoning. “This was a really unpopular stand at the time,” Mrs. Davis said. “But George’s interest came because he was sure the county would be sued because of the health hazards there.” Davis pursued the matters of zoning and subdivision ordinances for two difficult years before the county’s present regulations were hammered out. At the beginning, it seemed that no one else cared, but eventually other influential citizens joined Davis in his concern. Mrs. Davis said he had a few lucky breaks - one was the construction of the power line which showed the need for some regulation. “And one time, George was trying to convince the judge of a ridiculous subdivision proposal and the road was so bad that the judge got stuck on his site visit.” Mrs. Davis remembered another humorous anecdote:, “George used to go to the scene of the crime with Pete Estes when he was sheriff. Between the two of them they made sure the prosecution had the very best and most proper evidence. Well, they both visited the scene of a murder in Huntly - a case that has never been solved. Well, the grounds were searched with a fine-tooth comb after George and Pete left and the dogs came up with only two clues: George’s cigar tip and Pete’s sunglasses!” The commonwealth’s attorney’s pet peeve was using the courts for personal vendettas, Mrs. Davis remembers. “George was anxious that the courts not be used for revenge,” she said. “If some said the words, ‘I just want to put them to the trouble,’ that was enough to make him refuse a case. And when he handled divorces, he’d counsel both the parties and charge them twice as much if they did get a divorce. He had his own way of doing things.” George Davis died in 1982, shortly after assisting in the successful defense of the largest civil case the county has ever tried. The land use control ordinances he struggled to develop have been tested but never broken in a court of law. County Fathers Made Sure Prisoners Had Fresh Air and Exercise... Responding rapidly to a request by the Rappahannock County Court to alter the bounds of the prison. Commissioners Joseph Nicklin, John P. Ambler and Robert M. Heteriek submitted, the next day, their plan for altering the prison bounds set up by the commissioners in 1833. The alteration of the bounds was requested by the court w hen the jail was moved from its previous site in the home now ow ned by Mrs. Mattie Ball Fletcher to its present location. By “Prison Bounds” the commissioners meant the route that the prisoners (more likely one prisoner) were to march each day in accord with the state lawstipulating a fitting amount of fresh air and exercise for those confined. Leaving nothing to chance or to the discretion of the jailer, the commissioners not only gave the route’s description in great detail, they drew a maip of the town of Washington w-ith the march route traced in red ink and recorded it permanently in one of the earliest county deed books. This drawing provides an accurate map of the county seat in 1837, four years after the county was formed. Since most of the unfortunate residents of the old Rappahannock pokey were those caught drunk in public. it is supposed that the fresh air and forced marching had a beneficial effect on their sobriety as well as their health. The convicts marched, at a set time each day. from the jail, in back of the courthouse and clerk’s ffice, in back of G. Thorn’s tavern on Gay Street, crossing Gay Street and proceeding to the old post office on one side of Main St. to Mrs. Coxe’s tavern on the other side. Westward they marched then, through the middle of the lots on Main Street, crossing over to Gay Street and marching on Gay to the end of town, turning at the old town well to go back to the jailhouse. So that no prisoner would vary from this course by even a little, thereby receiving a more or less exercise than his fellow convicts, the commissioners measured out the line of march more precisely in their discription. given here in the clerk’s handwriting, along with the map. f'Tr/vrt m //!C o■ m- tu&rji. f/it fvrwfirird /me4 o/'/tt-^ITiJCTi' 'SjtJmr/J a rr rtt rt'/^rr/. <4'Sin-/i rj mr^/rr/^nMty Jce^rrnfJ^ct /'y {,.,..

Most of those present had known him all his life, and they fondly recalled anecdotes, both about his youth and about his practice of law. Moffett served as a Commonwealth Attorney from 1954-1956, and was the fourth member of his family to do so. Judge Raynor Snead remarked that when he w as elected judge of the circuit court two local lawyers wanted his job, both good friends. Moffett was one of them and he came to the judge and said, "You’ve just been an interloper in this office—its been in the family for generations." James W. Fletcher had another story, recorded in the transcript of the service: “1 remember one of the first cases I ever had in this courtroom was a murder case and it well illustrates what 1 am about to say. 1 was young and eager and enthusiastic and was going over the jury panel with my father who bad practiced here for many years and on the panel was John Carter who was a maternal uncle of Billy and he was also the brother-in-law of Frank Moffett who was prosecuting attorney. Judge Alexander’s father was the presiding judge. Well, I was somewhat concerned when 1 saw John Carter's name on the jury panel so"in consulting with my father 1 said, “Now you know one strike I've got to use and that is to take off John Carter.” He said, “Oh, no, never do that.” Said, "In the first place, Mr. Moffett is probably going to take him off but if he doesn’t take him off, then John Carter is going to be so fair and so honest, and so honorable, that he’s going to bend over backwards and he will tend to be in your father instead of his brother-in-law’s favor.” Well, that was the precedent that the maternal and the paternal kindred of Billy Moffett’s had and Billy certainly followed that precedent throughout his life." Used commonly in remembering Billy were the terms compassion, warmth and caring. Besides recalling his qualities on the* bench and in the courtroom many memories of hunting, fishing and riding were shared by Billy Moffett’s dear old friends. 1IIE COMMONWEALTH OF VIKt.lNIA TO THE SHERIFF 01' {tfrcx' 101 NTY....Cmrtlno BUT tommnn# B#U, Tlml >011 Mliiimon %/’ A.-1 t V <y p />'■ ’ nJ /Ku’ ktv *. in .iiuieni I ic fin*' 11 ip .luik’i* «if ilir < nruii Niijk'i mi < niiii of Law ami t li.ni«rr\ ini K.i|i|iahnnm>rU onion al iIm* Cnlirl IltJCSP III I hr. saul •lllil \.

This one, (top) to the sheriff of Culpeper County, asks for two witnesses for the trial of Edmund Walden who was accused of shooting the plaintiff through the hat. Despite witnesses to the crime the jury issued a terse note, penned by its foreman, Reuben Slaughter, finding the defendent not guilty (bottom) Grand Jury Deliberates On A Fall Day In 1842 Mr. E.W. Mapy was chosen as the foreman of the Grand Jury summoned to attend the circuit court of law and chancery on September 20, 1842. Mapy’s job was to painstakingly record the indictments or “true bills” returned by the grand jury for a trial in the court. Only felonies in those days were heard in court, the misdemeanors and debts being settled by the Justices of the peace. Mapy’s collection of Rappahannock citizens had three cases to hear: one simple case of horse theft, one perjury case and one case of carrying a concealed weapon. This September court day was chosen as an example of a typical day in Rappahannock court. The cases were routine. Mapy’s formal language is that used by an educated man of his day to describe legal proceedings. His careful script, in ink on parchment, would later be copied by hand into the record by the clerk of the court. The documents prepared by the Grand Jury were sealed and filed in a bundle under the date of the proceedings. The grand jury first called a Joseph H. Latourandais, who was the witness bringing the complaint in the concealed weapons case. Mapy wrote: “l Ipon our oalii ire present that Franklin Turner of the county aforesaid (Rappahannock) habitually and generally keeps and carries about his person a pistol from the use of which the death of any Person Might probably ensue and keeps this same hidden and concealed from common observation, Within Twelve Months last past, upon the knowledge and information of Joseph //. Latourandais, one of the Grand Jury, sworn in open court to give evidence before our badge.” A TRUE BILL. The perjury case heard by Mapy’s jurors had a romantic twist and appears to have been brought by an angry father to invalidate his son’s marriage: “Upon our oath we present that Matthew Williams of the county aforesaid by liis awn roluntary act, consent and agreement did on the Jfith day of December IS.It), willfully, corruptly, and falsely swear before William Meuefee, Clerk of the County Court of Rappahannock, authorized to administer said Oath, ami acting under tin authority of law, a certain John Grimsly Inal attained his full age of twenty one years, which Oath was necessary and material to authorize said Mr. Meuefee Clerk of said court to give a license for the marriage that was intended to be had between a certain John Grimsby anil Veggy Vtz, daughter of Solomon Vtz — whereas in fact the said John Grimsly had not attained his full age of twenty-one years but was then and there an infant under the age of twentyone years — and the Grand Jury further presents that the said Clerk did in consequence of said oath issue aforesaid marriage license. We make this present ment upon the informal ion of William Grimsly sworn in Court toy ire evidence before us as a prosecutor." A TRUK BILL. A true bill was also returned on the horse thief, and all three eases were promtly tried in September court two days ater. , It appears from further records of September court, and of court in other months, that Clerk Menefee had a difficult time keeping the jurors in the court room. During the trial of George Welch, the accused horse thief, the clerk issued four summons like this one for George P. Strain: "It appearing to the court that George Strale, one of the jurors sworn on yesterday upon the trial of George Welch for horse stealing, withdrew ami separated himself from the rest of the jury during the progress of the trial without the knowledge or leave of the court, this therefore declares that the said George Strale be summoned to appear here forthwith to show cause, if any be, why he should not be fined for contempt." In 1935 the clerk’s office was housed in the present treasurer’s office Pictured here are Jack Dabney, a ’30’s lawyer.

News From Castleton By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Correspondent 937-4031 Birthday greetings go to Martha Knighting today. We’re sure the rest of the community will join with us in wishing her the very best. And also to J. T. Woodward during his recovery at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Peggy says he was moved into a private room Monday after being in intensive care all weekend. He suffered a serious heart attack in Culpeper Friday. Daughter Darlene Conover flew in from Alaska Saturday morning to be with J. T. and Peggy says John Henry and she kept John, Jeffrey and Tabby with them over the weekend and took them to Culpeper to visit their grandfather in the hospital. By Monday he had improved a whole lot. Peggy had only good words for the folks at the Culpeper hospital. The Donalds are back to their old tricks—making it rain by going camping. You remember the only time it rained during the drought was when Doris and Frank went off into the mountains of West Virginia to try out their new van. They just got back from an eight day trip to Georgia and back, camping out in Spartansburg on the way down and Natural Bridge on the way back and Doris says it rained three days straight. They went to Gainesville, Georgia to see Doris’ sister Annie Dell Bigham then took her with them to Fontana Village in the North Carolina mountains. “Pop” says they traveled 1,660 miles. After they got back they hopped in the car and zapped up to Colesville, Maryland to spend the weekend with their daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen McCauley. Rev. Milton Switzer says a special week is planned at Hope Hill Baptist Church. The Stoey Family is coming from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. They’ll be holding services in Castleton starting Sunday night and through next Friday. Woodville and Mount Lebanon Baptist Churches are planning their Halloween party at the Holschuh home. Howard says he’s gonna turn the A-frame guest cottage into a haunted house for the event—and if last year is any indication, there'll be about 00 people there—all just having a frightfully good time. The “Blue Knoll Ghost" roams all year—Halloween or not according to Nancy Tribino Schoppet. The farmers on the hill told her the house is built on a Civil War cemetery. Bullets and shrapnel were found when other old houses were tore down near there and some say the dead soldiers still fight at nitrht thinking the '•nin«niit«lltW»Wili lilvW Schoppets’ home is still the two room log cabin it used to be way back then. But Nancy thinks the "Blue Knoll Ghost” might have built the place. “He’s nice, not scary,” she says. Acts protective like he owns the house and the family, too. (In the “things that go bump in the night” department, That Black Cat who lives with the Donalds has learned to rattle door knobs and is teaching Fluff Bucket, Mouser, and Peachy to do the same. We’d say the Donalds are in for some creepy sleepless nights.) Meanwhile, Castleton’s monsters expert, Tommy Schoppet, now age 12 and too old for “trick-or-treat” will probably “try to find the goriest, scariest movie he can on T.V.” according to Nancy, and celebrate Halloween ensconced in a couch munching popcorn and hoping his spine will tingle. Lewis Fisher “will clean his room—Halloween or no” says Donna, “and he might find a monster under all that litter—or maybe Wayne the sorcerer will wave the wand and make it all disappear.” But the boys’ rooms are really off-limits to adults. Only once a month does Donna make the full trip upstairs she says because it just scares her so to see those sights. Nancy and Richard Schoppet are going to the Halloween dance at the high school. Richard has been invited to deejay because he was so popular at “Boogie Two”—so the senior Schoppets will paint their faces and go mingle with the teenagers. Nancy will also dance in the Friendship Follies, her second time. (Says she was in it last year on the condition they wouldn’t ask her again—but it turned out to be fun after all—and what wouldn’t she do for the Boosters?) The Follies is coming up November 5—the money goes for computer equipment for the high school. Tickets are $3 for adults, $2 for students.

How To Make A Quick Quilt By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Zipping up a quick quilt on the sewing machine is an alternative for those who fear quilting might be expensive or time-consuming. There’s just enough time before those cold winter’s nights to make a few. Here’s how: Sew together 3x3 inch pieces of cloth in 12 inch squares and finish each with a 12x3 inch strip. Continue this process until you have Go to Ice House Fabrics & Things and get five yards of quilting fabric. (It has batting and backing all in one piece. It will be 45 inches wide and will need to be attached in two panels.) On any regular sewing machine, the quilting fabric can be sewed along the sides, top, and half of the bottom of the wrong side of the quilt top. Turn it all inside out. Then slip stitch the rest of the bottom edtre. gone 90 inches—most blankets are 72 inches; making it extra wide will help keep two people warm if one of them tends to “pull cover.” The quilt will be 108 inches long. Attach a 90x3 inch strip at the top and bottom. It can be tacked by machine or with a darning needle and yarn. The second option leaves the chance to tie pretty little bows on the front of the quilt. Then you crawl underneath it and you go fast to sleep while it snows outside. View town News By MRS.

Rappakannock Journal ! 'Farm 'Business 'Garden 'Rural Life Hairy Harbingers Forecast Nondescript Winter From the “Woolly Bear’’ convention at Hagerstown, Maryland, the word is that winter ’83-’84 will include 111 cold days, 97 wet ones, 26 cyclonic times and except for a colder than normal April, be otherwise “nondescript.” Mountain weather watchers have known for ages that the severity and nature of the forthcoming winter can be accurately gaged by watching the “woolly bear” worm. The fuzzier he gets, the worse the weather will be. If the black band at the front end of the caterpillar is wider than the black band at his back, the first part of the season will be the worst and the other way around. If the middle reddish-brown band is wide, the winter will be mild. In Hagerstown, “woolly bear” experts used their novel prognosticator to predict last February’s paralyzing blizzard. This year the mayor’s office has called for “the study of caterpillar coat and color to determine accuracy in weather forecasting.” The city fathers and the publishers of the Hagerstown almanac have invited “woolly bears” from all over the world to convene in Hagerstown during the entire month of October. For the city council “in a highly educated, professional and sophisticated manner” has proclaimed that a multitude of the species of “woolly bear” shall be studied by a prominent educator, gov Bats have been extremely valuable in scientific research that aids mankind, says International Wildlife magazine. Research on bats has contributed to devel opment of navigational aids for the blind, new vaccines, artificial insemination and birth-control methods, and to studies of aging and space biology. ernment leader, biologist, business man and community citizen at large. Any Rappahannock “woolly bears” would be eligible for a series of prizes should they attend the meeting prior to the end of October. That’s the end of National Woolly Bear Month. There is a $10Q award offered for the largest, furriest “woolly bear” caterpillar brought to Hagerstown, $100 for the “cutest” and $50 for the one who traveled the longest journey and survived. Caterpillars must be mailed or delivered to: John R. Hershey, Jr., Gruber Almanack Company, 17 East Washington St., Hagerstown, Md. 21740. —Kappahannock News Photo/M. May LAST CHANCE before the frost for fried green tomatoes and other garden delights. Rappahannock Kitchen Watch What Horse Eats As a result of the drought, many pastures are extremely overgrazed and hay supplies may be limited. Yet even when horses have an adequate diet, they sometimes will seek out and eat hazardous materials in the fields and woods. Owners should check their terrain to avoid poisoning of their horses. Some damaged crops especially com may contain nitrates or aflatoxins. Owners also should not graze sorghum-sudan types of grass. Damaged, spoiled, dusty and moldy feeds must be avoided. Sweet clover also can cause some problems. In general, millet, soybean and peanut hays are not recommended. Fescue, either in pasture or hay, is not recommended for pregnant and milking mares. Some common plants that may cause poisoning include acorns, water hemlock, cocklebur, death camas, buckeyes, nightshades, bracken fern, chokeberries, poison hemlock, red maple leaves, jimson weed, laurel, ivybush, oleander, wild cheery (wilted leaves) 4th ANNUAL PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST Pick a Pumpkin Carve its face Bring it to OUR spooky place!!

Tomatoes: Hurray For the Red and the Green! According to USD A researchers, each tomato plant properly cared for can yield up to 15 pounds of fruit. Despite the drought, gardeners probably don’t doubt that’s true by now if they’ve been trying to keep up in the kitchen with the production of those little plants out in the vegetable plot. For those who are tired of fried green tomatoes and red spaghetti sauce and canning, canning, canning, here are a few unusual tomato recipes tested by friends and neighbors: Mary O’Meara has a favorite recipe for Danish Green Tomato Soup from the New York Times Natural Foods Cookbook. She guesses that cornstarch can be substituted for the arrowroot thickener but suggests that cooks experiment with caution, starting with a teaspoon and increasing the amount until the desired consistency is reached. Danish Green Tomato Soup 'A cup butter 2 onions, sliced 8 green tomatoes, washed and cut into chunks 1 cup chicken or beef broth 1 teaspoon arrowroot salt to taste freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 teaspoon sugar sour cream or yogurt chopped chives or dill weed Melt the butter in a heavy skillet and saute onions and green tomatoes until soft but not brown. Puree in an electric blender or food mill. Add the broth. Blend the arrowroot (or cornstarch substitute) with the milk and add to tomato mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring until mixture thickens. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Serve topped with sour cream or yogurt and chives or dill. As a change, the soup may be chilled and served cold. Yield: six servings.

BZA Okays Cen-Tel (Continued from Page 1) wouldn't want the additional culvert actually installed “until absolutely necesssary” because he would like the entire project to be “as compact and hidden as possible” but that he wanted the trucks to be able to maneuver safely. The board approved the applcation with the condition that the existing culvert be replaced and a ten foot extension added and that the parking area be arranged so the trucks could use parallel parking and not back in or out onto Route 729. Crane Mr. & Mrs. Krnest Crane were upset when the board rejected their application to enlarge the living room in what used to be her grandfather's house in Flint Hill. The Cranes want to remodel the house to be their retirement home. They said they had discussed their nont/ ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes Cabins • Additions Remodeling Commercial as wei As Residential Box 147 Flint Hill, Va 703-675 3897 Va. Class A Contractor's License r plans with the neighbors and met with no opposition. However, the already nonconforming lot would not allow adequate set-back. A motion to approve from George Muth died for lack of support as Konick pointed out that the Cranes had failed to demonstrate any unusual hardship “approaching confiscation", of their land if the application is denied. The permit would establish a dangerous precedent, according to Konick. “Every single building in Flint Hill has exactly the same problem. And it’s exactly the same in Sperryville, Woodvillle and every other village,” he said. Bird said that the layout1 the Cranes proposed for their building “makes eminently goorl sense, but hardship is hard to show.” Although the board refused the application on that basis. Bird suggested the Cranes go before the supervisors to request a special exemption. He also advised the couple to attend public hearings on the proposed zoning ordinance to try to see that special provisions are made in the future for village houses, many of which are built on the very edge of roads. "I think the restriction is unreasonable." Bird told the Cranes, “but not a unique case. Relief has to be given by the board of supervisors.” “Would it be all right to tear it down and build a newhouse?” Crane asked. Bird said it probably would but agreed it would be wasteful. "I'm very sympathetic to your case — believe me — but I have to enforce the zoning ordinance as written.” The Cranes did not appear to be soothed by his sympathy and refused an offer from Koniek to write a letter to the planning commission on their behalf, seeking new provisions in the proposed ordinance. Davis A request by Dale Miller Davis to build a carport on a nonconforming lot was rejected for the same reason. Davis was not able to prove that it would be an undue hardship not to build the carport nor that his was an unusual case. "I have just bought a new car," he explained. “It’s a blue car. The color is fragile to sunlight." Davis hoped to convince the board that denial of his request would “approach unreasonable confiscation" of his property by threatening the value of his new car.

Rappahannock is part of the “Level 1 Central Region” containing 23 municipalities and counties along the Piedmont. The maximum allowance here is $380, according to social services director Sylvia Kreitler. Households applying for fuel assistance must verify the income of all household members. Types of acceptable verification include wage records, social security award letters and income tax returns. Households also need to verify cash resources such as savings accounts, checking accounts and other spe ★ VOTE ★ PETER LUKE FOR COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY BORN: Hampton, Va. 1947 Education University of Virginia, 1969 University of Virginia School of Law, 1972 Experience: Member of Virginia State Bar 11 Years Pollice Officer, City of Virginia Beach, 1970,1971 Writing Director, Virginia Legal Research Group 1971,1972 Staff Counsel, Federal Disaster Relief Project, 1972 Captain, Staff Judge Advocate, U.S.A.F. 1972-1976 Staff Counsel, Presidential Clemency Board, The White House 1976 Substitute Judge, Rappahannock, Fauquier and Loudoun Counties 1980-1983 Special Justice, Rappahannock County, 1980-1983 Past President, Rappahannock County Bar Association Authorized by Peter Luke cific resources. Recent bank statements or deposit books are acceptable verification. Limits for cash resources are $3,0(H) for households that include a person over (50 or disabled and $1,500 for other households. In most cases, fuel bills are submitted to the welfare department. Payments are sent directly to the fuel vendor until the total amount of the household’s fuel benefit has been used or until the heating season is over. Households are notified each time a payment is made. The maximum yearly income level for participants in Level I rural areas, including Rappahannock is $(5,075 for a one-person household, $12,799 for four. Winterization The federal low income energy assistance block grant also helps fund the Virginia weatherization program to help low income families insulate their home or make other energy saving improvements. The weatherization of homes has resulted in significant longterm savings on heating costs, state officials say. Additional allowances are available for repair or replacement of heating equipment. The Virginia Department of Social Services expects to receive about $36 million for its total program this year. The amount of money coming to Rappahannock has been cut this year, but more people may be eligible to participate because the income guidelines have been raised by 3.5 percent. Last year, participants had to prove that they were at the poverty level to participate. Kreitler says her office received 163 applications last year of which 147 were found to be eligible for benefits. Last year the countywide allotment for Rappahannock was approximately $36,000-337,000, Kreitler 1 ^ds Subtly Pi Marshall, Va. • Single family homes - 2 to 3 bedrooms. • High energy rating. • All materials used h low maintenance in mind. • Financing available.

While applications may he received through the end of February or until available funds are depleted, Kreitler says applicants are advised to come to her office as soon as possible. “We deal with applications on a first come/first served basis,” she says. “They are processed within 30 days and notice goes out in the mail:” Kreitler says two major changes have been made this year in evaluating eligibility. Starting this year, any money earned by household members under age 10 will not be counted toward the maximum yearly income level. Also, the fuel type used in the household will no longer be considered. The fuel allowance will be the same for everybody. Kreitler is optimistic that no one who is needy will go cold this winter. “We have several private citizens who are concerned enough to help when the allotment is gone — on a very limited basis,” she said. Anyone with any questions about fuel assistance is invited to call the local Department of Social Services at 675-3326. r-1 CUSTOM COUNTRY HOMES Traditional.
