Sixteen-year-old David Brian Scovill and Esther D. Fain were passengers in the 1980 Toyota station wagon driven by John L. Fain. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, the family was returning home to Columbia, South Carolina. Fain was traveling westbound at approximately 10 a.m. when he lost control of the vehicle on an icy curve coming toward the Rediviva Bridge at the intersection of Routes 211 and 622. The car went off the westbound shoulder. back across the east bound lane and then slid broadside over the bridge, striking a pick-up truck driven by Dr. Werner Krebser of Huntly, according to Baines. He added that Krebser’s truck was near the middle of the bridge when the accident occurred. Despite the efforts of Dr. Krebser, physician at the Rappahannock Medical Cen*. ter, and assistance from a shock-trauma technician who stopped to help, “nothing could be done for the boy,” Trooper Baines said. “He died at the scene while we were waiting for an ambulance.” (Continued on Page 4) Rappahannock Receives Reprieve From Arctic Attack By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock N*wi Staff Writer When Friday and Saturday saw sunny, breezy and not quite so cold weather, Rappahannock citizens enjoyed a “warm spell” of high's in the 20s and 30s. They took a breather. They joined the rest of the nation in sitting back to assess the damage. They started chopping wood for the next attack. They indulged in the favorite pastime of exchanging “how cold was it” anecdotes. Kenny Horton at B&B Service Center said he didn't see much of his boss during the deep freeze. Mike Brown was out on the road all day Wednesday (December 28) with the wrecker. Mike just kept “pulling them out” Kenny said, until everyone lost count of how many people had called. “Just one right after another,” lie remembered. “Soon as you’d put the phone down it would ring again.” After Wednesday, it wasn’t so bad, he said with relief. Thurman Whorton was “really busy” with the county’s frozen pipe situation. His daughter says he was away Christmas Eve and all Christmas Day. By Friday he was just beginning to catch up with his work load. She wasn’t sure how many people had hired him over the holiday. “All I know is we just wrote them down and he just carried the list to his shop.” Power Lost Rappahannock Electric Co-op spokesmen reported approximately 5,500 Orange County consumers were af(Continued on Page 2) Fingerprinting Set Next Week RCES principal Maggie Piper says she thinks fingerprinting the county’s children is an “excellent” idea. Piper said Tuesday she was glad to learn of the School Board’s recent approval for assistant superintendent Campbell to work out a program with Sheriff John Henry Woodward for doing so. She added that the plan has been adopted by “many systerps” as a measure for solving kidnapping cases. Piper said there have been cases of children found feveual. years lateraod rertM'iud to their parent* through the proof of fingerprinting. “A stolen infant changes tremendously over a few years — even with a five-year-old (a child's ap-‘ pearance can change a great deal before he is found),” she said. “The fingerprints establish in court that it’s your child.” Piper added that fingerprint records can help police on the trail of a lost child if prints are lifted from a vehicle in which the child was transported. Piper says the fingerprinting has been scheduled for January 13 at the elementary school. Voluntary Campbell stressed Tuesday that the fingerprinting is purely, voluntary and. will not be offered to any ehih) without a signed consent form from his or her parents. “If they don’t return it then that will be fine,” Campbell said, emphasizing that he saw the fingerprint(Continued on Page 3) Computer Age Arrives At Rapp National “Ready,” the screen flashes. That word marks the arrival of the age of computers at Rappahannock National Bank. Up until a few weeks ago, all checks and desposits at the bank were manually posted on bookkeeping machines, then filed by name, not by account number. Most of those who bank at Rappahannock National like being identified that way. For some, it is even a source of pride when shopkeepers in the other Washington and its suburbs refuse no matter what identification is produced, to accept their checks because they aren’t stamped with numbers. Check refusal — at least on those grounds — will soon be a thing of the past. “We won’t be "posting checks or deposits in this building anymore,” explained cashier Mary L. Payne in an interview this week. “We’re going to data processing First all transactions will go through our proof. Then the bottom of the check will be magnetically encoded with the account number, the bank route number and the amount of the check.” Bundles of checks will be picked up by courier in Washington every afternoon, taken to Data-Tel in Alexandria to be run through master computers there and then returned to Rappahannock National the next morning for filing, Mrs. Payne said. “For balances, we’ll look them up on the computer screen. The system will put statements at intervals, we’ll take the checks from the files and send them out with the statements. We’re learning a lot,” she added. “We still don’t know everything about it.” Mrs. Payne laughed “One of the things we don’t know is how long it will take before we get all this going. The only thing we have into the computer system now is passbook savings!"

Hutchinson WEDNESDAY’S STORM TURNED Rappahannock County into an ice palace as silvery shards the diamonds of winter — hung from trees, bushes and every blade of grass. But the beauty had a tragic side. Ice covered roads caused a rash of accidents and the death of one teenage boy. Inn Wins Either Way, Says Lawyer: Judge Questions Town Zoning Procedures By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson has raised a question of jurisdiction in the zoning controversy over The Inn. Lawyers for The Inn had filed a petition on December 16 asking the judge to review the decision of the Town Council regarding The Inn’s application for a special use permit. The permit was granted with conditions which Inn attorney David Dickey called “illegal, void, arbitrary and capricious. ” The council had asked that the planters be cleared from the two end parking spaces which were in original renovation plaps. The second condition was that the front be restored to original lines and the jutting portion of the fence be removed. In recent developments. Judge Robertson sent a letter to the clerk’s office questioning his jurisdiction in the case. Under state law, the circuit court judge may review only decisions of the town’s board of zoning appeals, the judge reportedly asserted. Since the town of Washington has no BZA, there remains a question of whether the'Town Council is empowered to'act on zoning appeals. While The Inn’s lawyer, David Dickey, asserts that the town lacks any valid zoning ordinance, he has acted under the ordinance’s procedures for appeal, he tells clerk Diane Bruce in a fetter dated December 27. “It would appear that, since the town council has appropriated to itself the role of the board of zoning appeals, the provisions of law relating to boards of zoning appeals would apply," he said, “but I share the judge’s concern on this matter, and filed the petition for a writ of certiorari on the legal theory that my clients might well be estopped fron^ other remedies should they fail MVavail themselves of the Vejnedy provided in the ordinance, even though they take the position that the ‘ordinance’ is — for a number of reasons — void.” Win/Win Situation For The Inn Dickey Wfculd appear to win either way. if the judge refuses to hear The Inn’s petition, Dickey says it proves the town ordinance is invalid. But if the judge hears the case, Dickey has a forum to argue against the council’s conditions on the special use permit. Meanwhile, the town has yet to set its strategy. The council met in executive session with town attorney Douglas Baumgardener on the evening of December 27. “The judge has taken it under advisement,” Mayor Newbill Miller reported on Wednesday. “He hasn’t decided yet whether he has jurisdiction to hear it. The council is just w aiting to see what the judge decides before deciding w hat they will do.” Dickey says he expects the judge will decide by Monday whether to hear the case. If he refuses, Dickey said in a telephone interview last Thursday, it would mean there is no zoning ordinance for the town and The Inn “will win in a way I wouldn’t like.” Then Dickey said the (Continued on Page 4) A First In U.S. Kuncewiczes Turn Green Thumbs To Grow White Endive By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nm Staff Writer Outside, gray clouds spit snow as the thermometer dipped well below the freezing mark. Wind whipped around the corners of the old Sperryville farmers cooperative, slicing through overcoats and leg warmers and adding a chill factor that dragged the temperature down to near zero. Not the kind of weather for growing a crop. But despite the arctic cold, inside the co-op’s storage building delicate pale green plants inched their way up from hydroponically nurished roots, thriving in the dark and humid warmth of an artificial climate reminiscent of Virginia in the dog day evenings of August. “We specialize in doing amazing things!” joked Witold Kuncewicz about the harvest. Wit has provided expertise in basic technology and marketing for his wife Dorothy’s endive “factory,” the first commercial production of this European delicacy in the United States. In January, “freshly picked, locally grown French endive—U.S.A.” from Rappahannock Fruit and Produce in Sperryville will be sold in 78 Giant Food Stores. For the Kuncewiczes, it’s the second step in a major undertaking that began six years ago. “We’ve been pro ducing in an experimental chamber since 1981,” Wit noted. “The Inn (Washington’s famous French restaurant) had our endive in December, 1982.” But it was one thing to grow a few heads in a dark comer of their hydroponic ENDIVE, freshly picked and locally grown, first of its kind intheU.S. greenhouse in Flint Hill. It’s something else entirely to produce endive on the mammoth sdile required for a commercial operation. The Kuncewiczes decided it could be done. How to do it was another question. When they began in vestigating, they ran into a vacuum on informaation. Endive is a lettuce first developed in Belgium and France about 200 years ago, Wit noted. “In some places, they still do it the same way they did back then. They grow the plant in light, fertile soil and before it goes to flower they cut the whole top off. After storage in a cellar, the root is buried in a mound of dirt in a stable or bam, buried down as far as the plant is expected to grow up.” Then the tender lettuce, white with pale greenish-yellow tips after its stint in the dark, is unearthed when it has reached three to four inches in length. Improvements in production techniques in the next half century or so moved the roots from barns and stables to specially constructed huts built six feet into the air over mounds of steam heated dirt. The next change came in 20th century France, advancing the process to its current modernized state. Plants are still grown in the fields, springing up during cool nights and warm days. The green tops are lopped off, again just before flowering, but instead of being buried in dirt, the roots are kept in cold storage, then packed into trays and sprouted hydroponically in the dark. —Rappahannock News Photo/D Hutchinson DOROTHY KUNCEWICZ, manager of Sperryville’s newest business, a commercial endive factory, checks the PH level of a sample of nutrient-filled water, the growing medium for the lettuce roots. It was this new production process that the Kuncewiczes wanted to duplicate in Sperryville. “It had never been done before in the| United States—commercially. One hundred percent is imported. Every bit of it comes through New York, reportedly all controlled by three New York brokers, every pound that comes into the U.S.” Kuncewicz guessed that those pounds amount to four or five million. “It was like a mountain that’s there and so you climb it. There’s no conceivable reason why something that could be done in Europe couldn’t be done here,” Wit said, explaining his and Dorothy’s decision to enter the endive wars. And war it was. Wit refers to the European growers as the endive mafia. “It’s a very closed operation...Unless you speak French, there’s no need to even bother approaching them to find out how to do it. You can’t get into one of their plants. On the North American continent, there’s only one successful commercial endive business and that’s in Canada. It’s run by a Frenchman who doesn’t speak English, his wife doesn’t speak English and their children all go to French schools,” Kuncewicz said. He crossed the Atlantic to tackle this closed society of growers. “I went to school in France, to the university there. I speak French. And I tried to get an appointment at the National Institute of Agronomic Research (the French equivalent of the Department of Agriculture) for six months!” Kuncewicz had to drop a few names—specifically his great-great grandfather’s, an officer in Napoleon’s regiment—before he was granted an audience. w After practically signing his life away, Wit left that meeting with a book published jointly by the Endive Growers Association and the Institute. “It’s the only book on the subject of commercial production that I know of. The endive mafia laughs when you tell them you have the book but it has a lot of in(Continued on Page 4)

Reprieve From Arstjo. A Hack (Continued from Page 1) fected by various power outages during December 22 when the first ice storm moved through. The problems lingered on as another 1,000 people in Culpeper were without power on December 28 after ice laden lines snapped. In some cases, the same people were hit twice, spokesmen say. Company crews quickly restored service with the help of additional contracted workers. Company spokesmen reported a higher demand for -electricity in Rappahannbck over the holidays, but no mjyor problems in supplying it. They termed the situation here as “very fortunate." The worst local outage was in the Castleton/Slate Mills area, according to company spokesman Francis Updiky. An icy line was the reason. It ran the length of 25-30 frosty trees. Updike said 50-60 people were without power from midWednesday until early Thursday morning. Highway maintenance crews are nearly caught up, spokesmen said Friday. They had been out on Tuesday night (December 27) watching for signs of freezing rain. When the freeze came on Wednesday morning, they immediately started spreading sand and salt, working day and night, trying to keep the primary roads under control. They started work on the secondary roads on the 29th * Kappalianiuick Ktm* Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8.00 Elsewhere in the U.S. per year $10.00 Outside the U.S. per year $8.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE * ( ) New ( ) Renewal ( ) Check Enclose NAME__ ADDRESS _ CITY_ STATE_ ZIP _ ■ Second class postage paid at the Post Office at Warrenton, Va.

The worst areas were Jenkins Hollow and Battle Run, engineers said. Amissville fire chief Carl James says the company had an unusually busy December. AVFD received 27 calls between December. 1-28, he said, up 25 percent from last December. Impact On Farming Livestock feed requirements go up by about 30 percent during such frosty weather, extension agents say. And the danger of death to newborn calves is considerably greater. Newbill Miller said he didn’t have any problems during the icy Christmas season. He just fed his animals in a sheltered area, using the hills as a windbreak. “I stopped worrying a long time ago,” he said, pointing out that the cattle seem to do just fine in the great western plains states where the wind chill consistently falls below 40 degrees in the winter. Miller has no cattle cal.ving right now, he said, or his weather problems might have been worse. Animals' ears and tails can freeze at birth and fall off, he said. But if they survive, the loss of an ear or tail poses little danger to the animal's retail value. I he value of the country’s citrus fruit crop was diminished considerably, according to Associated Press reports. While tourists at- Orlando’s Disney World shivered under temperatures in the 20s on December 26, fruit growers were counting their billion dollar crop as a near total loss. The fruit was frozen on the trees, suitable possibly only for a low grade juice. A ICICLES HUNG from sign posts, gate posts and fence posts after last Wednesq day’s storm. moratorium was placed on shipping fruit from the state. In Texas, the Panhandle was hit with five inches of snow on Christmas morning. That state’s citrus crop suffered a $30 million loss. Around the nation 390 people were killed in weather-related incidents during the two week cold spell that started December 17. The coldest it got was in West Yellowstone, Montana. There it was 36 degrees below zero on Christmas Day. Chicago had the record for the longest consecutive cold spell. There it was below zero for lOO'/a hours straight. The lowest temperature at Dulles was two below — at 11 on Christmas morning — not far from the record. Since the weather service started gathering statistics there, the coldest temperature recorded was 14 below in February, 1979. Such was the situation just one week into a winter already fraught with frost.

BZA Quorum Considers Short Agenda By MICHELE MAY lUwihannock New* Staff Writer Icy streets didn’t keep the county Board of Zoning Appeals from meeting on December 28. However, each question required unanimous approval because a bare quorum was there: Sharon Luke, Peter Kramer, and chairman Lee Bird. Citizens representing three zoning applications also attended:'" Woodward Marie and Milton Woodward we^e seeking a special use permit to convert their garage into a second dwelling on their property. They live on Route 640 near 729 in Jackson District. Woodward explained that the building already has its own septic field and that he wants to renovate the building into a home for his son. The lot is approximately two acres, insufficient to allow the required 100 foot setback. Luke was inclined to approve the variance based on the predominant character of the neighborhood. She described the area as rural with small lots along the road. Woodward said he has no close neighbors who would object. However, Kramer argued that previous cases had been refused due to density. Applications had been denied where people wanted to build two dwellings on 25 acres, he pointed out. Here, the board was considering a request for two dwellings on only two acres. Kramer moved that the application be tabled until the next meeting to give the board time for a site inspection and to give the Planning Commission time to make a recommendation. (The December Planning Commission meeting had been cancelled due to the previous week’s ice storm; the application has not yet been reviewed by that group.) Since the vote would have been a deadlock, Luke and Bird went along with Kramer’s suggestion. | Leonard , '** Davette Leonard received permission to again hang her business sign on Route 231 in F.T. Valley. The building is an old gas station and the 3ign had noise during his present operation. He didn’t expect the new location to make more noise. The building would mainly be used for painting and paint storage. Settle had been in business on the site since 1972, the board members heard, and they felt it would pose an undue’ hardship not to approve his application. The possible loss of his insurance made his hardship unique, they agreed. However, they placed three conditions on approval. Settle would be required to provide the five foot set-back ,he had discussed. All exhaust fumes must be directed to the front of his building and not in the direction of the neighbors’ homes. Finally, Settle must consult with his insurance agents or other people competent to advise him on the most fire resistant building materials. Settle had proposed using cinder blocks or metal sheeting; he was in structed to determine which material would have the higher fire rating and to design the building so as to avoid threatening the neighbors’ property with explosions or fires. In addition, Settle agreed to leave the evergreen shrubs and trees presently growing along the property line. They will act as a visual screen. He was told that his building plans when ready must now go before the Planning Commission for that group’s review. Digges Application for a special use permit filed by Henry Digges, Jr. of Amissville 4 was easily approved in his absence. Digges wants to build a workshop with an apartment above it as a second dwelling on his property located on Route 637. Digges has approximately 150 acres and is planning to build within the required set back, Konick explained. The zoning office had issued a building permit for the been hanging over the pumps where the former owner’s sign used to be. The lot had been used commercially since 1947, yet the property is zoned agricultural, explained zoning administrator David L. Konick. Therefore, each new sign needs a special use permit. Leonard operates a sign painting and calligraphy business. Approval quickly came for Leonard’s sign which she said measures approximately 30 by 40 inches, well within the 20 square feet normally allowed. Leonard appreciated hearing her sign could go back up, but wondered when others might know if special use permits are required for their signs. In general, Konick explained, commercial signs in an agricultural zone need a permit unless they simply state the name of a farm or indicate locations of fruit stands. These signs must be within the 20 foot limit. If nonconforming signs, erected prior to the adoption of the 1983 zoning ordinance; are replaced, a permit is required, he said. “There- are other provr- ■ sions for signs in the current ordinance, and the new zoning revisions currently under review by the planning commission will be even more specific, Konick noted. Settle Richard Settle applied for a variance to build a commercial garage at the back corner of his property. Settle does car painting and body work at his home on Route 522 in Flint Hill. He decided to put up the new building after his insurance company notified him that his present working conditions were a fire hazard, he explained. Settle wanted to situate the new building near the back of his land so as to leave adequate parking space in the center of his property. The building would have a five foot setback at the side and rear to allow for building maintenance, he said, but not the customary 50 foot set-back from the lot lines. No objections had been filed by Settle’s neighbors. He said they had never complained about VI TEET MIA THOROUGHBRED ASSOCIATION AMNOUNCES THE SEVENTH ANNUAL STALLION SEASON AUCTION Monday, January 9 through Tuesday, January 10 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. STALLIONS Aeronaut Baby Kobe Baederwood Bit of Class Blazing night Blue Wonder Bold havy Bolshevik Buck s Chief Chennault rast Passer Tiestero Po*gc rorbesy s Ruler r or get the Past Pull Partner General Pleasure Glided Age Gound Breaker Hagley Iffe^helm Iron Curtain Jennie's Beau Komehomeha Kentucky QokJ Kha tango Knight Landing Magic Banner Man Ton north night Prize Ring Sevastopol Seventy rive Rock Sir Raleigh Spark of Life Tatol Thaos The Cool Virginian Tiger Lord Trim lea Tum to Mars Vast Empire PLEASE NOTE At 9:00 A.M. on January 9. 1984, bidding will commence by telephone at the VTA office and will end when all bids have been settled after 5:00 P.M. on January 10, 1984.

The additional home would be allowed if the land were subdivided, so the board saw no problem in approving it under the present property lines. Hur The presence of Jon Hur will be requested before considering his request for a time extension, the board decided. Hur has a permit to place an additional dwelling on his 35 acres off Route 641 in Flint Hill. The permit was approved last summer and will expire on June 10. Hur h^ sent a letter to the board requesting a three year extension ‘‘for financial and personal reasons.” In the meantime, Konick pointed out, the board has rejected applications similar to Hur’s. (Some of his land lies within a conservation district.) Hur has not started work on the house yet, according to Konick who said the plan was “questionable in the first place” and would surely fail to fulfill the new zoning ordi nance, which he said is soon to be approved by the Planning Commission. Kramer moved the request be tabled until Hur can meet personally with the board and until a Planning Commission recommendation on the case can be obtained. The board may grant an extension only for “unforseen circumstances” said Luke, adding “I think we need more information.” Other Signs Arthur J. Smith and Martin Woodward want to place signs advertising their businesses at the Main Street “sign farm” in Sperryville. Consideration had been tabled from the November 22 after discussion of whether the zoning ordinance reference to 20 square feet limits each individual sign or means the sum area of all signs on a given property. That discussion will be tabled for another month at the request of Woodward and Smith who said they were unable to attend the December meeting. They asked their case be placed on the agenda for January. Why you're in control with a HOMELITE* All our Homelite Chain Saws are designed with control In mind.

Day realtor RISK OF LOSS Time is very important in a real estate transaction. There is usually a period of time between the signing of the contract and the transferring of the title. Chances are the property being bought and sold will be okay during that period. But what if something does happen to it? There’s always the possibility of partial damage or complete destruction. This factor—and it should always be borne in mind—is called “risk of loss." The risk of loss matter should be stated and clarified in the sales contract. The contract should state whether the buyer or seller bears the risk of damage or loss to the property. Generally speaking, this should be the risk of the seller. It is still, however, a good idea to spell it out so there’s no question about it in any one’s mind. If the risk of loss matter is left to chance or assumption, serious problems could come updl a building is partially destroyed by, say, fire two days before closing time.

Shopping Center Warrenton, Va. 347-1414 Culpeper Mall Culpeper, Va. 825-1595 says. Then school officials will check the rest of the children in that classroom first to catch any possible spread. When cases pop up in two or three different class rooms, Piper says, the administration does a “100 percent check,” looking for lice in each child’s hair. “We’ve had three 100 percents so far this year, but not many cases,” she said Tuesday. “They’ll get in one classroom.” Piper is planning to send information home with the pupils soon so parents are welcome to call her or school nurse Frances Thornton at the health Department with other specific questions not covered in the handout. Piper wants parents to understand that hgad lice are easy to conti^l if detected and properly treated before they have a chance to spread. A special shampoo is recommended to kill the lice and their eggs. It contains a natural pesticide made from extracts of chrysanthemum flowers. A second shampoo after eight to ten days kills lice that may have hatched from eggs missed during the first treatment. Meanwhile, once a case is discovered, other members of the family should be immediately checked to see if they also need the shampoo. Along with the shampoo treatment, disinfection of clothing, bed linens and combs must also be done. Hats, scarves, coats and bedding should be washed in very hot water or dry cleaned. All carpets, upholstery and mattresses should be thoroughly vacuumed. Once head lice enter a home, they can easily be transmitted among family mem be re, health officials say. Each person should be inspected daily for at least two weeks. Clothing and hair brushes should be sterilized immediately. Authorities point out that lice can spread quickly in the community and are not caused by any lack of cleanliness. Nor do lice select their victims from any particular socio-economic group. They are often found among school age children, especially in the lower grades. Nationally they attack about three million people each year. If a child brings them home, health experts say parents shouldn’t get embarrassed. They should just get rid of them. Adult lice live for about a month, The females lay up to ten eggs each day. These nits attach so firmly to the victim’s hair, they cannot be combed out, but must be picked. They are usually found in the fine hair at the nape of the neck. If the infestation is not detected, each female can have hundreds of offspring. The infestation is usually accompanied by head scratching and intense itching or redness of the scalp asi well as small bite marks where the parasites stab openings in the scalp to suck their victim’s blood. At RCES teachers check all pupils routinely, then send a list to the office of all suspicious cases. School nurse Frances Thornton checks these children with a fine-toothed comb jinder a strong light. If the nits are detected, the child’s parents are notified. Lice are transmitted through contact with clothing, combs and brushes, bedding or upholstery which have been contacted by an infected person. Teachers tell children not to borrow combs and brushes from each other or wear other people’s hats. Head lice are being reported in greater numbers during the past 20 years, national health experts say. Yet, they are nothing new. They’ve beert around as long as recorded history—and longer. The ancient Egyptian pharoahs used to shave their heads .and wear wigs rather than trying to fight the pests.

The forms were being sent home with children late this week, Campbell said. Campbell added that school officials had decided to make only one set of prints for each participating child and to give it to the parents for safekeeping. His original suggestion had been to keep the prints at the school and make an extra set for parents who requested it. Parents of pre-school youngsters will be able to participate at a later date if they desire, Campbell added.

Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, January 5,1984 Resolutions For 1984 The New Year arrived last weekend and what better way is there to roll out the welcome mat than by drawing up a list of resolutions, a set of promises to make 1984 better than the last 12 months. Before we make our pledges, we offer the following for the consideration of the county’s local governing bodies and governors. For the School Board, a do and a don’t. DO more ahead with the long delayed capital outlay program at the high school. The needs there have been documented since 1976. Only the Sperryville sewer system has been hanging around longer and it appears that project will finally lose its “long delayed” description. In 1984 it’s the high school building program’s turn. DONT continue to sneak off into barely legal executive sessions. The exclusions in Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act are to be construed narrowly, according to the statue itself. Justified executive sessions behind closed doors away from the eyes and ears of the public were never intended to include discussions of rough ^ cost estimates of new buildings dr" renovation and remodeling of old. As for public disclosure compromising the bidding process, the experience of the Board of Supervisors has shown that bids come in lower—not higher— when that cost estimate information is released. For the Board of Supervisors, a push toward full compliance with the law. The Virginia Code gives the board responsibility for providing a landfill for trash disposal accessible to the public. Local ordinances restrict what can be dropped in the dumpsters, our only PUBLIC trash disposal sites, making it illegal to leave large appliances or bumables there. Euthanized strays are still being buried in the dog warden’s back field. The only approved landfill in the county is private with access limited to Community Trash, the company that empties the few dumpsters scattered here and there. This arrangement may possibly meet the letter of the law; it doesn’t meet the intent of the General Assembly, however. It’s time in 1984 for the supervisors to give Rappahannock a trash dump, even if it means resorting to condemnation. Also for the Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission, a round of applause for controlling the pace of development in Rappahannock County and a request for resolution to continue the effort. Critics may claim that local zoning and subdivision ordinances are contradictory, confusing and unconstitutional but they’ve withstood legal challenges. And they’ve worked. For the Planning Commission, a reminder that public support comes with public knowledge and a suggesion that community meetings be held to acquaint the public with the revised ordinances. Review of zoning and subdivision laws has been going on for over a year but until last month, no one except the planners could get a copy of the proposed changes. Learning anything at work sessions has been, for the most part, a futile exercise. It’s hard to understand the game when we can’t see the rules. In addition, subsequent work sessions have been scheduled at the close of meetings-tumed-work-sessions, long after departure of the last listener. Then there’s been no further public announcement. At the later work sessions, official business has been conducted, from a practical standpoint making those sessions executive, closed meetings. We ask the planners to resolve to do a better job of keeping the public informed. From Washington’s Town Council, we ask for a New Year’s resolu* tion to establish a board of zoning appeals so that variances to the town’s zoning ordinances can be handled in accordance with law. And while the council members are going over those ordinances with an eye toward possible revision, we ask them to consider formation of an architectural review board as well, a review board that won’t dictate to property owners on such picky matters as what color to paint a building but ptfther a board that will work to protect and preserve the unique character of Washington. For our part in making the Rappahannock News a better paper in 1984, we offer a few resolutions to our readers. We pledge to strive for more accurate, more complete coverage of local government. We pledge to try to give all community groups and organizations equal attention in story and photographs. And we promise to work to keep news on the front page and opinions on the editorial page. Teenager Killed In Collision -Our Rappahannock Heritage J E ndive (Continued from Page 1) formation,” Kuncewicz maintained. The book provided a start. Visits to endive production operations added the rest of the information the Kuncewiczes needed to start growing. Next they remodeled the cold storage building at the former Sperryville co-op for the place to grow. They start the plants in fields. The green tops that are cut' off before flowering are fed to livestock. (It’s this tough, bitter, thick-ribbed oart of the plant that it is marketed in area groceries as endive lettuce. The delicacy produced by the Kuncewiczes is sold as Belgium or French endive.) The roots are dug up and stored in crates stacked from the floor up in the front half of the building, the old * cold storage unit. And'* it might be chilly-^-cold enough to keep the roots from sending out shoots— but it’s not near as cold as the winter temperatures outside. Like a leaky basement, it has a damp, musty smell. Five inches of insulation protect the roots from the heat of summer or icy air of winter. Moisture is blown from humidifiers in the air moving units mounted on the ceiling. Muddy water collects in puddles on the concrete floor underneath crate piled upon crate. From storage in this massive root cellar, the endive goes to the packing table where the roots are squeezed into trays. The trays are again stacked floor to ceiling in the dark warmth of a second insulated room where they stay until the forced growth, fed by nutrients dissolved in water, reaches three or four inches. “If ye turn the lights on, the endive turns green and green endive is unsaleable,” Wit pointed out. When the plants are mature, the roots are discarded, either used as feed for cattle or dumped on farm fields as fertilizer, and the endive is harvested and packaged for delivery to Giant Food Stores. Sweet and crunchy with a nutty, buttery taste, it is the queen of the lettuce world, perfect for tossing in a salad or serving in soup or casserole. The Kuncewiczes still have a final step to take before they’re ready to call ^ their new Sperryvifle business a complete success. “We don’t know how much or how long we’ll be able to produce this season,” Dorothy Kuncewicz said. They hope to make it a year round operation but that hinges on whether they will be able to grow the roots—as well as the lettuce—hydroponically. “We did grow the roots in our greenhouse that way,” Dorothy said. “The lettuce wasn’t saleable because of its looks,” added Wit. “But it tasted just as good!” “It’s hard to keep a greenhouse dark,” Mrs. Kuncewicz noted, predicting better luck under the conditions at the Sperryville endive factory. Town Zoning (Continued from Page 1) Washington and Flint Hill rescue team responded to the accident. Esther D. Fain had superficial injuries and John Fain sustained multiple rib fractures and a fracture of his right hand, Baines reported. Both were transported to Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton for treatment. Ice covered roads sent cars sliding into ditches from one end of the county to another. Most were minor mishaps which didn’t require police involvement, according to Sheriff W. A. Buntin. Trooper Baines investigated a one-car accident near Willis Chapel on Route 522 at which occurred at 11:20 a.m. last Wednesday. Doris Irene Silva of Middletown lost control of her 1976 Ford sedan while traveling southbound. She skidded off the shoulder, tearing out four panels ol board fencing on property belonging to Williain Carrigan, the trooper reported. Silva was not injured; her vehicle sustained approximately 6800 worth of damage. Sheriff John /Henry Woodward called the wrecker to pull an abandoned or from a ditch between 'eater's Packing Shed and Ffa* Hill. Otherwise, the sheriWa department reported ae aaddent fllii am a Wedneaday> ice atom, y,. the county’s roads but the owners managed to get back onto the highways without police help, Woodward said. New Year’s Eve, traditionally a busy time for urban law enforcement, was quiet in Rappahannock. There were no emergency calls and local police did not visit check points used to nab drunk drivers in other jurisdictions. Woodward reported. Fire Destroys Home A fire the night of January 1 brought emergency vehicles from six fire companies to Route 622, the Shade Road, at its intersection With Route 621. According to Sheriff Woodward, the call from the residence of Tommy Starks came in at 6 p.m. the night of New Year’s Day. The fire apparently started in the walls, sparked by a wood stove, Woodward said, Starks’ sister and his elderly mother and father were home at the time but managed to escape from the burning building. Fire companies from Washington1, Sperryville, Flint Hill and Castleton, assisted by a tanker truck from Salem and utility piece from Amissville carrying extra air supplies, worked together to control the flames. “They had a hard time fighting it,” Woodward said. The fire in the eight-room wood frame and masonry house V, began in a room filled with r’’Ashing. “It just kept sum* dering and pouring out smoke. Then it fed into another room where a lot of papers and books were stored. That made it worse,” the sheriff added. Over 30 firemen battled until 11 p.m. to extinguish the flames. Despite their efforts, the house was almost totally destroyed, according to Woodward. Temperatures were well below freezing Sunday evening, making the fire fighters’ job even more difficult—and uncomfortable. But good Samaritans came to the aid of the aidgivers. Bob Anderson made several trips from his home on the Shade Road carrying thermoses of steaming coffee and Jerry Foster donated piles of sandwiches and gallons of hot coffee from his Hillsdale Grocery. Victim Help Sought Welfare director Sylvia Kreitler has asked for donations for the Starks’ family. Kreitler said the family lost all their bedroom furniture and much of their clothing. She asked especially for double and single mattresses, bed frames, bedding and men’s clothing. Kreitler said the men wear size medium and large shirts, trousers waist 42 by length 30 and waist 32 by length 34, and size 10 shoes. Any donations will be welcomed, Kreitler said. Contributors may contact her at 675-3326 and she will arrange for transportation of the goods. (Continued from Page 1) town must be totally rezoned and an ordinance drafted and adopted setting the boundaries of the various districts. Statg law also requires appointment of a board of zoning appeals at the time a zoning ordinance is adopted, Dickey added. Dickey said the fact that the drafters of Washington’s 197 J ordinance never appointed an appeals board is “among several other major problems” which The Inn contends made the present ordinance invalid. Dickey Predicts Dire Picture While a new ordinance was in the works, Dickey said, there could be no controls on building. According to Dickey, there are “four or five” state supreme court cases saying that if a zoning code is thrown out, the municipality may not place a moratorium on building. As an extreme example of what could happen, Dickey referred to “entrepreneurs lurking in the background” who may be ready to place a McDonald’s or Holiday Inn in the center of historic Washington. “The Inn has real consideration for the way the town looks,” he said, “and that would be a real shame.” At the very least, Dickey said, he expects to establish the town’s zoning ordinance as discriminatory In its enforcement. He said he ex pects The Inn will receive its building permit to go ahead with the renovation without the council’s conditions “fairly shortly one way or. the other.” If the judge decides he has no authority to grant a writ of certiorari, Dickey said, “There is no zoning ordinance. Then we’re entitled to a building permit without any conditions.” If the judge reviews the council’s conditions, Dickey says he will .probably file a new writ of mandamus against town zoning administrator David Konick. “The ordinance is void and he knows it,” Dickey contends, adding that decisions made from an illegal ordinance are likewise void. As a parting shot, Dickey accused the town of undue delay. The Inn’s application had been before the town council for the past seven months, he said, “and Newbill Miller says we always have time limits and we’re always in a rush —amazing!” • * * The term “acid rain” was first coined more than 100 years ago by a British chemist, Robert Angus Smith, says the National Wildlife Federation. In 1852, Smith observed that as skies over Manchester became increasingly dirty, the rain became increasingly acidic. v*o^v Ml >i£W '& ■#£*■$£** *g£*~ «r^Tr>~ cet^n '* t* * , At*® *L n\\ V*o**i**» ggZ’&.&g*' ™ «#11' s*°w ^0 " :vr^ so*** * tfl** -* Illegal And Unsafe To the editor: We, the undersigned, attended the hearing in the Rappahannock County Court House where a permanent injunction was handed down to prohibit the operation of a gun range off Route 640, in Jackson District, by the Rappahannock Sportsmen Association, Mr. Robert Bowers, President. This decision was welcomed by many concerned citizens in the Amissville area and helped to maintain our faith in the democratic system of government, but !!!!!! Why is nothiiig being done to stop the illegal shooting behind the Blue Ridge Gun Shop, owned and operated by the Robert Bowers’ family??? The State Code of Virginia, Title 18.2, Section 286, prohibits the shooting of firearms within 100 yds. or 300 ft. of a state highway. The lot containing 1.3 acres on which the gun shop is located, has 226 feet along U.S. 211 and is only 257.43 feet deep. There is shooting of firearms, almost daily, within the boundaries of the above lot with no consideration for the safety or the noise factor on the neighborhood. State and county law enforcement officials have been informed repeatedly and especially one day this fall when 33 shots from all kinds of weapons were fired. Our faith in God and the democratic system would be greatly enhanced if this ille gal, unsafe, and inconsiderate practice of shooting would be stopped. ■ MR. AND MRS. F. L. BOWEY MR. AND MRS. S. D.

REED THOMAS Paris, Va. * TV % Rappahannock National (Continued from Page 1) aged, may be the last bank in Virginia to become computerized. The action is being taken in order to increase efficiency, not because the bank’s directors want to keep up with the Joneses of the financial world. “We were spending too much time posting checks,” Mrs. Payne said, noting that it took one teller just about, all day to keep up with the transactions. The way it was done (and will continue to be until the new system is fully implemented) keeps two employees busy for at least a half day, everyday. “One person posted the statements, another posted the ledger, then they compared the two to make sure the figures matched. The sheets had to be pulled for each customer and then put back into the files. Ilf Was a lot of work,” the cashier said. In addition to the time consumed by manual posting, the decision to “go computer” came- in part because of federal regulations. “We have grown to the point where we have to file quarterty reports on an accrual rather than a cash basis,” ‘Mrs. Payne said. This means, she explained, that instead of counting the cash in the bank, reports have to be tabulated on what the bank owes and what is owed the bank, whether the money has been collected or not. “There was no way we could check records on each individual note, each individual savings account manually,” Mrs. Payne said, reporting that Rappahannock National now has betfrewi 1,500 and 2,000 checking accounts and 1,200 and 1,400 savings accounts. Reaction to the move to computers has come mainly from customers. Comments have ranged from “I don’t want to be a number!” to “Do I have to make up my own deposit slip?” “One individual closed his account because he didn’t want to go on a computer,” Mrs. Payne said. “Change is never easy. It just takes a lot of patience.” To date, none Of the bank’s employees have threatened to quit over the march into the computer age. “Tney’d probably quit if we diamt,” the cashier added, laughing. Those who? worry that the move will bring an end to the personal attention they now receive have nothing to fear. “Up until the last , few years, all of us here knew’ every customer personally. We have a lot of new people now but even with all the new cornel’s, I think our tellers recognize most of them,” Mrs. Payne said. The attitude of the bank’s employees and directors toward the modernization can best be summed up in a sentence from the cash ier’s letter to Rappahannock National’s customers: ‘‘We want you to know that your name is and will continue to be important to us.” TOP LAW ENFORCERS, OLD AND NEW — Retiring Sheriff W.A. Buntin (left), new Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke (center) and new Sheriff John Henry Woodward admire the placque presented to Buntin at his retirement party last week. Friends and co-workers gathered at Flint Hill’s Comer Post Restaurant to thank the two-term veteran for his service to the county.

Bob Ridley Eastham: Ranger Followed Trail Of Adventure Part 2 Exploded Into Violence “The simmering filed exploded into violence and ‘exploded’ is the correct verb to use. Eastham’s men were alleged to have blown up a lumber-driving dam on the Blackwater which Eastham claimed Thompson’s company had unlawfully built on his property. When Thompson sent in men to repair the dam, someone posted a gang to bushwhack them and, with gun fire, drove them from the dam site. Again Eastham was accused. Apparently, a number of local folk believed the allegations against Bob Ridley because that particular dam became known as ‘Eastham’s Dam.’” tragedy was waiting in the wings and soon the cue for its entrance would be given. “The provoking incident was the hard fought Alice Williams-Carl Degler paternity case which was decided against Degler on March 11, 1897, before Circuit Judge John Homer Holt, a character who will fill the role of co-villian quite satisfactorily. Degler was a ‘good old boy’ with many friends in the Davis area and the ‘male chauvinist’ feelings of those friends, including Bob East ham, were outraged, probably because of the well-known personal character of the protagonist in the paternity case. Sixtythree men of the Davis area signed a petition to Judge Holt requesting that Degler be granted a new trial. Eastham's signature led the list of petitioners. The petition was presented to Judge Holt by attorney Parsons. “Parsons was declared in contempt of court and fined on the spot by the judge for his temerity in presenting tl*p petition and the 63 signers were subpoened to appear on March 18, 1897, to answer the same charge. “Judge Holt was great on contempt citations. At one point, he cited the entire Board of Tucker County Commissioners ^supervisors) for contempt, threatening heavy fines and imprisonment for all of them because they weren’t moving fast enough to suit the judge on a capital outlay program for completion of a new court house for him. On another occasion, in his charges to the Grand Jury in the Eastham murder case, Holt sprinkled his instructions liberally with threats of contempt citations against the Grand Jurors and other dire consequences if they failed to bring in a true bill indicting Bob Eastham for first degree murder,” his grand nephew reported. Returned For Hearing On March 18, Eastham and his cohorts from Davis chartered a private railway car for the trip to Parsons and return home in the eve ning. “Judge Holt’s bad mood that day was to have terrible consequences: it would destroy 20 years of work by a man and his wife to build reputation and fortune on the Canaan Valley frontier; it would bring the death of a young only son and it would cause the mother of that son to lose her mind to the blackness of insanity,” Bob Ridley’s historian reported. Eastham was the group’s spokesman in court, arguing fiitilely that the right of petition could not constitutionally be denied. “Holt not only denied it; he fined all of them on the spot for contempt of court in trying to exercise that right,” today’s Bob Eastham noted. “Sometime after leaving “ the court house, the disgruntled, but apparently not overly depressed, petitioners boarded their chartered railway car for the return trip to Davis. While waiting, Eastham affixed a placard to the car, a sign termed ‘insulting’ by the local paper, The Parsons Advocate. The words on the placard were taken from the title of a Civil War song popular among Confederate cavalrymen, ‘Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still.’ Bob Ridley was saying, and all understood him to mean, that Judge Holt was still haunted by the bright smile of Alice Williams. Thus the epithet ‘insulting,’ from the newspaper.” Most of the petitioners were already seated in the CftR when Eastham boarded. Bui among the other passengers was an unwanted addition, Frank Lemer Thompson, enroute to his home in Davis. Eastham’s old enemy knew he was not welcome. Before Bob Ridley had stepped aboard, Thompson was informed that the hailroad car was privately chartered. Eastham testified later that he saw Thompson for the first time as he came opposite the seated man while walking down the car’g aisle. He testified that fie stopped, slapped Thomjv^ son’s face, called him a “per~ jured son of a _,” and ordered him off the car. Took Oath Seriously “Bob Ridley took his oath for testimony to be given in court very seriously,” noted his grand nephew, discounting the possibility that Eastham may have been lying in his version of what happened on the railway car. “In later years, he was foreman of a jury at the Rappahannock court house in Washington. The sheriff reported to the judge that Eastham and his fellow jurors were drinking whiskey in the jury room to lubricate their deliberations. The judge had the foreman called out and questioned him. When Eastham tried to evade a bit, the judge or Where can you find an automatic washer that gives you tIG PEEFCGMANC GIG FEATURES GIG CAEACIT id GIG SAVINGS?

Bob Ridley then admitted all, exclaiming, “Hell, Judge, 1 can’t lie underoath!’ Thompson Stayed Thompson didn’t leave the railway car. Instead, according to Bob Ridley’s testimony at the trial, Thompson got up to follow him and shot him in the forehead and right side as Eastham turned. Reportly, Thompson used a low compression pistol, to which fact Eastham probably owed his life. Eastham testified that he returned Thompson’s Qp from his coat pocket, “eitheP' because time was awasting or, as some stories have it, because the hammer of his revolver caught in the lining of the coat pocket,” his great nephew reported. “Bob Eastham, to the end of his life, always owned and used the very best qualify fire arms; I own specimens of them. The gun he was carryf ing that day was no ‘Saturday night special’ of inferior quality and he was a master marksman in its use. He hit Thompson with all four of his shots, in the abdomen and upper thigh, wounding him mortally.” Thompson was taken to the hospital in Cumberland, Maryland, where he died two days later. Two more days passed before Eastham was arrested on a murder charge and imprisoned in the Tucker County jail in Parsons. " Celebrated Case The famous Eastham Thompson murder case had begun. “It became the most celebrated, most discussed and most argued criminal case in the history of West Virginia. This was due to the prominence of both the defendant and his victim as well as to the extraordinary array of legal talent retained for both prosecution and defence,” Eastham noted. The legal army assembled in Parsons for the pros ecution included John J. Davis, one of the most prominent attorneys in West Virginia, John A. Howard, Hon. A.Y. Dayton, A.B. Persons, A.M. Cunningham and the local prosecutor, William G. Conley, who was, at the same time, editor and publisher of The Parsons Advocate. “Needless to say, Conley’s newspaper, which still has on file its weekly editions for 1897, reported the affair with a great deal of bias toward the prosecution’s side, using much of its space to defend ‘His Honor, Judge Holt’ against mounting public criticism. Most of the other "* space went to damn all other West Virginia editors who dared to side with the defendant — including some outside the state. Conley was a political animal who later parlayed his fame into the executive mansion of West Virginia,” said Eastham. Bob Ridley’s defense was handled by the prestigious Marshall McCormick of Virginia, Col. Arnett of Wheeling, C.W. Daily, T.M. Reynolds, W.B. Maxwell, C.O. Strieby, H.J. Wagoner and Horatio Gates Moffett of Washington, Virginia. “As far as Easthams were concerned, any Moffett had the job of commonwealth’s attorney if he wanted it!” Bob Ridley’s historian noted. “The brillance, wit and legal ingenuity of these teams — particularly Messrs. Davis and McCormick — overwhelmed all observers. In handling Eastham’s defense, Marshall McCormick and his assistants used every legal device in the law books, starting with multiple habeas corpus proceedings and continuing through writs of prohibition, writs of error, motions to perpetuate temporary writs and so forth, ad infinitum. * Caused Court Change “On three occasions during the case, Marshall McCormick, chief of Col.

Eastham’s defense team, appeared before the West Virginia Supreme Court and three times he failed of his purposed because the four justices split two-two. Justices English and Dent would vote each time to grant the writs McCormick sought; Justices Brannon and McWharter would vote against doing so. Justice Dent publicly decried the two-two split decisions, saying that the Supreme Court had failed the public interest. As a consequence, the composition of the court was changed to an odd number of justices, an idea which probably should have occurred to some. of these astute legal wizards before the murder case forced the issue,” Eastham maintained. ‘‘Meanwhile, Col. Eastham — we shall now formally promote him since the courts and the newspapers confirmed his commission — languished in durance vile. Well, not exactly, for the jailer was his good friend and supporter and allowed him to ‘hold court’ in the jailhouse, receiving a constant stream of visitors and by no means confined to lawyers,” his great nephew said. But it was still jail. Eastham was constantly imprisoned, with bail denied, from March 22, 1897, until the spring of 1898. Indicted For Murder Judge Holt practically ordered a true bill on murder charges from the Grand Jury and the jurors complied with his directive. The verbatum text of Holt’s charge to the Grand Jury was printed by Conley in the newspaper to show the public the “judicious posture” of the judge, according to Bob Ridley’s chronicler. “It showed just the opposite for it reads like an edict of the queen in ‘Alice In Wonderland’, that is *Off with his head!’ After urging the jurors to bring in a true bill indicting for murder ‘in the defendant’s behalf so he would have a chance to ‘prove his innocence,’ Holt then let fly at them with threats of contempt citations should they refuse to start this man toward the gallows. The Grand Jurors dutifully gave the judge the true bill he wanted, possibly with the assurance already that the story would be different when the trial jurors retired for their deliber •ram LIVESTOCK mmi INCORPORATED REGULAR SALES Every Tues.

Eastham would ever be hanged in Tucker County.” He added that H.J. Cooper made a trip to Rappahannock before the trial to urge Col. Eastham’s brothers to rescue him from jail to prevent widespread violence in Tucker County. On Trial “On Trial For His Life” read the headline in The Parsons Advocate on December. 3, 1897, when proceedings against Bob Ridley began. “By now Conley’s paper had demoted him: the sub-headline read “The jury selected which will decide the fate of R. W. Eastham,’ ” his great nephew reported. That jury selection hadn’t been easy. It proved almost impossible to find 12 unbiased men. The first panel was exhausted and the sheriff and his deputies sent out into the county to round up another batch of prospective jurors. Even the 12 seated in the jury box on December 3 were challenged by the defense as having been unlawfully selected for the jury panel by the county commissioners in the first place, according to Eastham. Bob Ridley’s lawyers fought the charges against their client inch by inch, prompting compliments even from the editor of The Parons Advocate: ‘The wit and wisdom displayed by the attorneys is simply stupendous and especially is this so of Messrs. Davis and McCormick,” wrote Conley. Who Fired First? The key issue was who fired the first shot. “The question was never answered ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ during the trial despite lengthy interrogations of witnesses on the point.’ And there were at least 62 eye witnesses! The parade across the witness stand included most of those who were present in the railway car. Several witnesses candidly admitted that they took cover fast when the shooting started, some through the windows of the railway car, and, really, were in no position to testify as to who fired first,” Eastham reported. Toward the end of the trial, Bob Ridley took the stand in his own defense and gave his version of the sequence of events. “Several times during his testimony he asserted that he shot Thompson to save his own life but volunteered, with his characteristic bravado, that when he shot, he shot to kill,” his great nephew noted. The murder tnal that The Advocate called “Without exception, the greatest legal battle ever fought in the history of the State” came to an end on December 16. “In a jammed courtroom the clerk read the verdict handed him by the foreman: “We, the jury, find the defendant, R.W. Eastham, guilty of involuntary manslaughter.’ It was a typical Rappahannock County verdict — if you’re not sure he’s guilty, give him the minimum sentence. After the announcement of the verdict, court was immediately adjourned. Parsons Mayor Kelley ordered all the saloons closed ‘owing ♦' the inflamed condition of the public mind.’ Trouble was expected but the anticipated ‘demonstrations and outbreaks’ jdid not materialize,” reported Eastham. Two Yean In Jail The following morning, Judge Holt sentenced Bob Ridley to two years of close confinement in the Tucker County jail with the nine months he had already served to be deducted from that time. So Eastham had one year and three months more in jail. “Whether close confinement would have deprived Eastham of the pints of whiskey which his visitors testified in court they regularly furnished him in jail is not known. Possibly so, for some awful prospect persuaded him to shake the dust of West Virginia from his boots by taking French leave from jail about three months after the trial,” his historian noted. “He escaped with the assistance of his many friends and supporters, including the jailer himself,” Robert continued. “Later stories in Rappahannock had it that the prisoner escaped by using a wooden key which he had fashioned secretly. But he already possessed the key he needed; it was the friendship, admiration and respect which the Colonel had earned. “One historian claims that Silas Blackman of Bretz met Eastham near the jail with a two-horse surrey in which Blackman drove him to Rowlesburg, West Virginia, where he caught a train on the B & 0 for the first state of h!s return to Rappahannock County. Blackman’s own son confirmed this version of the escape to me when I met him in Catonsville, Maryland, in 1940. The son was very definite in his account,” Eastham said. “Other stories circulated around my family refer to a relay of horses back to Rappahannock through Winchester but, although the latter version is more dramatic, the former is more plausible — and better documented. “Within the Eastham family, there are also several stories passed down concerning the subsequent efforts of authorities in West Virginia to extradite the escaped prisoner but I have no documentary or other hard evidence to support those stories. There has been, over the years, a natural tendency in our family to embellish the story of ‘Uncle Bob Ridley’ but no such embellishment is necessary; the provable facts of this extraordinary man’s 82 years reads today like fiction. Giant Of A Man “At the time of his trial, according to one West Virginia historian, Robert Woolford Eastham was, at age 55, 6 feet, 4 inches tall and weighed 250 pounds. Historian Hu Maxwell, who knew him personally, described him in 1884 as ‘one of the most perfect men, physically, in the county, state or the United States. Above six feet in height, well proportioned, deep and full chest, muscular limbs and erect figure, he presents as fine as appearance as Sam Houston did. He is active and athletic, walks with grace and is a splendid rider.’ There can be little doubt that he was, in fact, an extraordinarily large man. When I was introduced to Mr. Blackman, who had also known Col. Eastham personally, Blackman’s first comment was, ‘Well, you’re sure not the man your great uncle was!’ At that time, I stood six feet tall, albeit a little skinny.” Eastham related an interesting side light on the real estate that once belonged to his famous great uncle. ‘To protect their property in the Canaan Valley during the troubles, Bob Ridley and Mollie -deeded it to Bob’s sister in Rappahannock County, Emma Chapman Eastham, who deeded it to Bob’s brother, Charles Clinton Eastham, who deeded it to Dr. Edgar Rob(Continued on Page 10) Foreign & American Car Repairs Specializing in German <8 Japanese Made Cars Jack’s Service Center 30 Ashby Street „ Warrenton 347-3785 “DOC” GODFREY’S 1984 MAZDA PICK-UP TRUCK SHORTBEO BASE MODEL *5595 Prices teeMt FrcliM atf Dealer Prep.

Mrs. Harald Havstad and son, Peter returned home last week after visiting Miss Grace Wood in Hadden Heights. Guests for a few days this week are her niece, Gry Helene Fjeld of Myrvoll, Norway and Gonzalo De Guzmam, the Philippine Islands. Next week is Fine Forgiveness Week at the Rappahannock Library. During the week of Monday January 9 through Saturday January 14, patrons may return overdue library books with no questions asked and no fine charged. There are currently 220 books overdue at the library. About half of these have been overdue for more than a month. This unusually large number of overdue books is part of a nationwide trend that is costing libraries more and more money as the cost of replacement books goes up. A fine-forgiveness week in the Philadelphia libraries last spring was very successful. 155,000 overdue books, valued a $1.5 millipn were returned, /including one overdue since,1922. G In other parts of the country, librarians are turning to the court system to try to recover overdue library books. Although the Code of Virginia provides for calling on the services of the sheriff to try to recover books, librarian Dee Brents feels this is not necessary at this time. “We can rely on the people of Rappahannock to return books without the long arm of the law,” she said. Mrs. Lois Frazier and Frances Leake of Warrenton were guests Monday of Mrs. Ethel Tyner and Miss Nellie Atkins. ‘ Sales & Service

In 1903, Dr. Browning deeded it to Frank Cooper of the Canaan Valley and, through further transfers, it was last deeded to Benjamin Franklin Thompson, first cousin once removed of the man Bob Ridley shot! Ben Thompson now resides on the same tract in sight of the home Bob Ridley and Mollie built upon arriving in the Canaan Valley in 1876^Dn a recent visit, I visited nim with my son, Robert Dabney, and drank a bit of bourbon with Ben to toast the end of the Eastham-Thompson fued. We even drank it beneath the uniformed portrait of Ben’s ancestor who was a federal officer in the Civil War,” Eastham related. Remarried Upon his return to Rappahannock, Bob Ridley and Mollie lived in a stone dwelling some distance to the west of Rose Hill, between Massie’s Comer and Washington. After Mollie’s death near the end of World War I, Bob Ridley married Bessie Jordan and moved to her home on the hill overlooking the town of Washington (now the home of Mrs. James S, Willis, the daughter of Emily and Arthur Miller). “For the remaining quarter century of his life after escaping from West Virginia, Bob Ridley lived in relative peace in his home county.

He loved to go hunting and always took a youthful companion with him,” his great nephew reported. “One of the most outstanding features of these years was his relationship with young people. Testimony of older people today in Rappahannock who knew him when they were children confirms, without exception, that they adored him. By some process, this old warrior who had ridden with Mosby captured their imagination and affections. Unfortunately, I never really knew him although on one occasion, I met him. It is my very first memory — sitting in my father’s lap on the steps of the brick house during a Sunday visit in Washington with the old man in a rocking chair on the porch. Bob Ridley thus left an endelible impression on me when I was just three years of age!” Eastham added. “Finally, at age 82, the old man suffered a stroke and fell from his horse into a cold stream while returning to his home. He died shortly thereafter, on April 9, 1924, from complications which developed and is buried alongside his wife, Mollie, in the Eastham graveyard behind Buena Vista where he was bom in 1842 — just before a whole way of life was to disappear in the gunsmoke of many battlefields,” I such there be, as hereinafter described and UNKNOWN HEIRS of Manuel Newman, Aisinda Newman.
