Miller announces bid for re-election State Senator Kevin G. Miller Sr. announced last week that he intends to seek re-election to the Virginia State Senate, representing the 26th Senatorial District. “It has been a distinct pleasure to represent the citizens of this area in the Virginia General Assembly since my first election in 1979,” Sen. Miller said in making the announcement. “It has been particularly gratifying to serve the last four years in the Senate, where I was fortunate enougt to be the first freshman to be assigned to four m^jor standing Senate committees.” Sen. Miller is a member of the committees on Local Government, Privileges and Elections, Rehabilitation and Social Services, and Transportation. “In addition to the standing committees, I have served on many special study committees and commissions.” Those assignments have included subjects as diverse as Annexation, Mandated Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention Programs, and the group formed to study the adoption of a new state song or rewriting the lyrics of the present song, which has been called rascist and is seldom played or sung at official functions. “It is my hope,” Sen. Miller continued, “that we will be able to increase the Republican membership in the General Assem SEN. KEVIN MILLER bly. However, I feel that I have been able to work well with the members of the legislature regardless of party affiliation. Apparently, that feeling is shared by my colleagues as evidenced by a recent effectiveness poll in which I ranked second in effectiveness among the nine freshman senators, as judged by legislators. “I feel strongly that I represent the philosophy and values of the great majority of the citi(Continued on Page 13) Permit granted for migrant By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Alter listening to hours of testimony at Monday’s public hearing, the supervisors issued a special exception permit to Alex and Roseanne Sharp for an expansion of their migrant workers’ camp in Harris Hollow. But the conditions and restrictions added by the board fell far short of the limits sought by neighboring landowners, Meredith and Henry Gorfein. The Sharps, who farm about 400 acres of orchards, most rented, also own and operate the apple packing house in Sperryville. “We’re probably the second largest employer of local people in the county,” Mr. Sharp said, adding that he employs up to 40 men and women at the packing house and orchards in the fall. Mr. Sharp acknowledged that terms of an earlier special use permit for the migrant worker camp in Harris Hollow had been violated, by (1) housing more than 10 laborers and (2) using the facility beyond the harvest season to lodge pruning crews. In seeking an expansion to provide the housing necessary for a dependable labor supply, Mr. Sharp noted that he’d first asked for a year-round camp with 16 laborers there during harvest season and a maximum of 10 for the remaining nine months of the year. But in response to the Planning Commission’s opposition to a year-round migrant camp, the permit application had been amended to 10 months with the camp to close for two months immediately after harvest season and no Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter THE SHARPS’ MIGRANT CAMP consists of three buildings, from left, a bathhouse, a dormitory and kitchen building. later than Dec. 1, Mr. Sharp said. “I feel like that’s a big concession for us to make, but I think we can live with that.” Under the compromise recommended by the Planning Commission, capacity would be set at a maximum of 16 laborers during harvest season and a maximum of 10 for pruning and thinning work in the off season. With more than 10 migrant workers, the Sharps will have to comply with state and federal regulations and standards, which include bi-weekly inspections by the Virginia Health Department’s local sanitarian. To allay concerns of the neighbors, Mr. Sharp said he would post signs well in advance of the property line, warning workers against trespassing. Keeping off the Gorfeins’ land would be “a condition of employment,” he said. In addition, a gateway leading in that direction will be closed, Mr. Sharp added. “We don’t want anybody on their property at all... I would hope the Gorfeins would call me if there is ever a problem. We’ll do our best to see that the workers don’t even go near their property.” Other farmers and orchardists supported issuance of the special exception permit. Mike Massie, who has a beef cattle operation, called the 10-month camp “a fair compromise.” “I’ve been around his apple pruners and pickers... They are without exception hard working, dedicated and upright people,” said organic farmer Chris Bird. Noting that he has lived near Louis Moore’s labor camp for 10 years, Mr. Bird told the supervisors he has never had problems with the workers from that facility. “Instead of viewing migrant workers as a source of leprosy in this community, we should give these people the honor and respect they deserve.” “I think my son is one of the best men I’ve ever known,” said orchardist George Sharp. Calling fruit production “a very difficult proposition” and “a very chancy business,” he asked that the permit be granted to eliminate a little of the difficulty and the chance. Farmer and orchardist Clifford Miller, who still has fhiit trees planted by his father in 1916, seconded the Sharps’ contention that finding good local labor is impossible. “I don’t see how he can continue to work without getting outside people.” Retired Judge Rayner Snead, a former orchardist, said his experience with migrant labor goes back to the 1940s when German prisoners of war worked Rappahannock’s orchards. “I never had any difficulties.” Judge Snead noted that the Sharps are among the last of the big fruit producers in the county. “I tried to count up the ones who are left and I couldn’t get to 10,” he said, asking the supervisors to “do what you can to protect this dying business.” Col. E. P. Luke, former chair(Continued on Page 18) Board cuts raises. trims $213,2 35 from school budget By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* SUIT Writer The in-fighting — if there was any — came at last Wednesday night’s work session, because at Monday’s board meeting, the supervisors presented a united front as they trimmed $213,235 from the proposed 1987-88 school budget. The reduction leaves projected school spending with a modest five percent increase over the current year or about seven cents more on the real estate levy. The supervisors approved the $3,407,792 school budget by categories but reviewed each line item in the process, sending a clear message to the School Board on where exactly they wanted the reductions to come. And what they want cut is pay raises: teachers to get 10 percent rather than 10.9 percent; administrators to get five percent instead of a flat $3,515 increase; secretaries and custodians to get five percent raises instead of 10. They also want a reduction in force (RIF): the elimination of the third central office administrative post of special services coordinator now held by Pam Rowe. The supervisors acknowledged, however, that they can merely suggest how the school budget should be amended to reflect the cuts since, by law, they have only categorical control and not line item control. That means the School Board can shift categorically appropriated funds around within any of the 14 budget categories but cannot transfer funds from one category to another without approval from the board of supervisors. Or in more concrete terms, the School Board members could keep the position of special services coordinator if they can find the $23,647 in salary WITHIN the other 19 line items of the $2,048,983 instructional category, which includes pay for teachers, principals, assistant principals, aides, substitute teachers and instructional supplies. Before the line-by-line review, Supervisor Nelson Lane noted that there had been several previous work sessions on the school budget. “What we’re doing is not arbitrary or capricious,” he added. Chairman Hubert Gilkey reported that the board had decided “by consensus” to approve school spending by categories to show “the places we would like to see the School Board make the cuts.” (The supervisors also have the option of approving simply a total figure for ed ucational programs, which would leave the School Board free to transfer money between categories, the only restriction being that spending must stay within the bottom line.) The reductions, by category, and the supervisors’ suggestions on where specifically those reductions should come were: • $12,218 from administration, making the superintendent’s salary $41,892, the assistant superintendent’s $32,500 and the total for three administrative secretaries $39,509. That would put pay increases at five percent for the secretaries and the superintendent and leave the assistant superintendent’s pay at this year’s level. • $71,000 from instruction, by dropping clerical raises to five percent and teachers’ raises to 10 percent, and making the elementary principal’s salary $31,669, the high school principal’s $34,249, and the high school assistant principal’s $28,844, those administrators getting five percent pay increases. The assistant elementary principal’s salary would remain at the $24,372 proposed by the School Board. An additional $4,000 was trimmed from substitute pay, $10,716 from sabbatical leave for teachers and' $23,547 from special services ' coordinator. “We cut the funding for this position in its entirety,” noted Supervisor Lane. • $3,000 from attendance and health services coming from compensation of psychologist. • $5,000 from transportational operational services in the line item for gasoline, oil and lubricants. • $5,000 from school food services, eliminating the local subsidy for the school lunch program. • $40,429 from operation and maintenance of school plants, coming from the deletion of $7,500 for a pick-up truck, $2,000 for operation of service vehicles, $10,000 for repair and replacement of equipment, $7,000 for electrical service and $2,414 by reducing custodians’ pay raises to five percent. • $22,102 from fixed charges, which are salary driven. “We want to see two buses purchased,” emphasized Supervisor A1 Henry, as he pointed out that the category for replacement of transportation vehicles had (Continued on Page 13) Rappahannock Round-up Government • Board of Supervisors: Thursday, May 7,6:30 p.m., Courthouse.

Gun charge dismissed in shooting By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Following a seven-hour trial on April 14, a misdemeanor charge of reckless handling of a firearm against James Franklin Selvage of Manassas Park was dismissed by General District Court Judge Charles Foley. The charge was filed against Mr. Selvage as the result of the Dec. 26, 1986, accidental shooting of 28-yearold Ricky Doyle Gray of Luray. Mr. Gray was killed by a single shot from a high-powered rifle while deer hunting on Turkey Mountain near Sperryville. According "to testimony from Trooper R. A. Baines and Game Warden Jim Bankston, who investigated the shooting, the incident occurred about 5 p.m., as Mr. Selvage and Mr. Gray were returning from a day of hunting with separate parties. Mr. Gray was on the mountain with his stepfather Edward L. Price and brother-in-law Johnny Lee Knott, both of Page County. Mr. Selvage was also hunting with a friend, Sam Shafer, also of Manassas Park. Before the trial began, Judge Foley, accompanied by Mr. Selvage, defense attorney J. W. Fletcher III, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, bailiff W. A. Buntin, Trooper Baines and Warden Bankston, went to the site of the shooting. Warden Bankston, with Mr. Selvage’s assistance, pointed out the places where Mr. Selvage, Mr. Price and Mr. Gray were standing, as well as several trees which were identified dur, ing the investigation as markers in determining distances and relative positions of the individuals involved. (According to measurements which Mr. Selvage made, and which were provided to the court in the form of a diagram, the distance from where Mr. Selvage was standing on the trail to where he said the deer was standing when he shot it was 126 feet. The distance from i, position to the tree behind which Mr. Gray’s body was discovered was 194 feet. From the spot where Mr. Price and Mr. Selvage met to where Mr. Selvage took his shot was 95 feet.) Mr. Price testified that he met Mr. Selvage on the trail near the summit of Turkey Mountain just before 5 p.m., as he walked up and Mr. Selvage walked down the mountain. He said that they had a short conversation, then heard a noise a short distance up the hill from where they stood on the trail. He said that he walked down the hill and Mr. Selvage walked uphill, when he heard more sounds “and saw a glimpse of something in the honeysuckle. I put the safety back on (my rifle), turned uphill and saw Mr. Selvage aiming uphill — the next thing I knew, he shot.” He added, in response to a question from Mr. Luke, that “he didn’t look too long before shooting... He hesitated a second or two; then he went up the mountain where I couldn’t see him.” Then, Mr. Price continued, the next thing Mr. Selvage said was “Mr. Price, I’ve shot someone.” Mr. Price said he replied, “No, you didn’t.” He said that Mr. Selvage shouted back, “Yes, I did.” “It wasn’t very long between the shot and his call,” Mr. Price recounted. “I was still walking up the path.” When Mr. Selvage shouted, he testified, he went straight up the mountain toward Mr. Selvage’s voice. “That’s when,” Mr. Price said in a soft voice, “I found my stepson lying on the ground.” He said that Mr. Selvage then told him that he should go and call the authorities. Mr. Price went to the SperryviUe Comer Store, where he called the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department to report the shooting. Mr. Price said that he first met Mr. Selvage on the trail about 4:56, and that the shot was fired “about 10 minutes later.” After establishing that sunset on Dec. 26 — according to Sperryville weather-watcher Dennis Wingfield’s records (introduced into evidence) —was 4:57 p.m., Mr. Luke asked about the light at the time the shot was fired. “If it had been me, I wouldn’t have shot,” Mr. Price replied. “It was too dark to have shot a highpowered rifle.” He added that he had hunted up and down the mountain all day; that he had heard no shots and had not taken any shots himself. “I picked up Ricky’s gun, and unloaded it when I put it in the rack in my pickup. It was a .22 Magnum — it had not been fired.” Under cross-examination by Mr. Selvage’s attorney, Bill Fletcher, Mr. Price said that he had a permit from Clifford Miller’s farm manager, Eddie Jenkins, to bowhunt deer in Mr. Miller’s orchard. He added that Mr. Fletcher’s father had showed him the truck track through a cow pasture which provided access to the top of Turkey Mountain — near where the shooting occurred. Mr. Price said that when the three men left Page County to come to hunt that morning, he was carrying a .243 rifle, Mr. Knott had a .270, and Mr. Gray had a .30-.30. He said that Mr. Gray told them that he had taken several shots at deer during the morning, and when they returned to Luray for lunch, he exchanged the .30-.30 for a .22 Magnum because hev had only one (Continued on Page 3) Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hauer COUNTY VOLUNTEERS LISTEN as Rex Lindstrom explains the mission of one of the county’s volunteer organizations. Volunteers honored at all-county dinner It was an ambitious project: to bring together all the volunteer organizations in Rappahannock County for a dinner recognizing their contributions to the county and its citizens. Thanks to the efforts of the Rappahannock Extension Office, the Volunteer Services branch of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center, and the Rappahannock Extension Homemakers, it was an unqualified success. More than 100 people, representing volunteer organizations ranging from governmental bodies to service groups, shared a potluck dinner at the Rappahannock County Elementary School last Tuesday night, then heard guest speaker Del. Raymond R. (Andy) Guest Jr. praise the volunteers and the contribution they make to the quality of life in the community. f “The theme, ‘Volunteerism in America’ is particularly appropriate at this time of the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Constitution,” Mr. Guest said. “The fine hand of Virginians runs throughout the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.. . So many things are guaranteed — opportunity is guaranteed — but it’s up to us to make the pursuit. “Wherever we look, we find volunteers — a tradition unique to America. Volunteers, who come forward of their own free will ... for them, it is an opportunity to join with friends and neighbors to work to make their community a better place to live.” “Anyone,” Mr. Guest continued, “who says that nothing happens in Rappahannock County should be here tonight. Some 30 organizations (Continued on Page 13)

Pre-measurement offered by ASCS “Farmers who use pre-measurement service before planting their spring crops will be guaranteed that their field sizes are accurate for the 1967 program year,” said Linda P. Henry, county executive director of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Pre-measuring is recommended because it assures fanners that they are in compliance with acreage reduction requirements, and eliminates worry over the loss of farm program benefits. ASCS offers pre-measurement at cost. The service includes measuring, referencing and marking out fields with stakes before planting. TOUR MONEY OR TOUR LIFE. When you give to the Red Cross, you take on a great responsibility-, saving thousands of lives. Maybe even your own. r Farmers are required to , plant within the stakes that are placed when the land is pre-measured. Pre-measuring is also important because it helps producers plan the amount of land to devote to acreage conservation reserve and planted acreages of program crops. Acreage conservation reserve (ACR) is cropland removed from production and put into conserving uses under the 1987 acreage reduction and land diversion programs. To be eligible for price support loans, deficiency payments and other 1967 farm program benefits^ all program participants must report their planted crops, ACR and other acreage. Pre-measurement helps assure accurate reporting. Farmers may request this service by calling the county ASCS office, 675-3616, or stopping by the office on Gay Street in Washington.

Shooting (Continued from Page 1) shell left for the .30-.30. Asked about the\ conversation when he met Mr. Selvage on the trail, Mr. Price said it was “a general conversation about deer. He didn’t ask me about hunting with anyone eke — as far as I know he didn’t know anyone else was on the mountain.” He recounted the scene again: “I just heard one sound, off to the left from where the body was found. Mr. Selvage ran up the hill about 30 yards and stopped on the uphill side ^>f the trail. H took the classic stance, left leg forward ... after the shot was fired he went straight up the mountain.” Asked again about the time, Mr. Price admitted that “it could have been anywhere between 4:50 and 5:10.” “Could Mr. Selvage have yelled to you, ‘Mr. Price, there’s a man up here!’?” Mr. Fletcher asked. “No sir,” Mr. Price replied. “He said ‘I’ve shot a man’.” “He didn’t say anything about a man having a heart attack?” Mr. Fletcher asked. “No sir,” Mr. Price replied. Mr. Price said that when he reached the tree behind which the body lay, he found his stepson lying on the ground with the gun across his legs, the barrel pointing up the mountain. Mr. Gray’s left leg was crossed over his right. “I can’t say if he was lying there or he had fell,” he said. “Did you see any blood?” Mr. Fletcher asked. “No.” “Did Mr. Selvage say anything about a heart attack?” “No.” “There was no conversation about a heart attack?” “No.” Mr. Price added that the bolt on Mr. Gray’s rifle was closed, and when he opened it to eject the shell before putting it in the truck, the cartridge fell on the ground. It was too dark to find it, he said, and it was several weeks later, when Trooper Baines, Warden Bankston and Mr. Price returned to the scene, that they found it. Johnny Lee Knott testified that the three had split up to hunt, and “as I was coming out of the woods, Mr. Selvage hollered my name, said ‘I believe I’ve killed somebody’.” When he got to the tree, he said Mr. Selvage patted himself on the chest and said,“Whafc can I do in a case like this?” Mr. Knott said he replied, “There’s not much you can do — you’ve killed someone.” Under cross-examination by Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Knott said that there were no pistols carried by any of the three hunters in his party; that he thought that Mr. Gray had left the .30-.30 at home when they came back after lunch; that the .22 Magnum belonged to him. He said he gave Mr. Gray 10 cartridges, seven to fill the clip and three extra. “Did Mr. Selvage ask you about drinking?” “No,” Mr. Knott replied. “Did you say anything about Bedding Plants and V.

He and Deputy Bruce Hitt walked about 100 yards into the woods to the body, directed by Mr. Price. “It was fairly dark ... the body was still warm, I checked for signs of life and found none.” He said that he took a statement from Mr. Selvage about 7 p.m., and advised him of his Miranda rights at 8:10 p.m. “He told me,” Trooper Baines said, reading from his note pad, “that he and Mr. Price were standing on the trail talking. Mr. Price said that he heard a deer* and ‘You go right —I’ll go left.’ He said that he saw a deer and shot at it; that he was reasonably sure that he hit it, that he tried to hit it in the neck.” Trooper Baines said that Mr. Selvage told him that when he went up the mountain, he didn’t find the deer where he thought it should have fallen, “but that he saw something further up the hill that didn’t look right.” Mr. Selvage told Trooper Baines that he yelled to Mr. Price, saying that he had found a man and he thought he had had a heart attack. Trooper Baines added that Mr. Selvage was very sure that he had a deer in his scope. He said that he was not sure if it was a buck or a doe — that he didn’t look for horns. He said that Mr. Selvage also told him that he had been hunting for more than 40 years and had never had an accident. He said that, following standard procedure, he had impounded all four of the rifles carried by the four individuals, including Mr. Selvage’s .30-.06. The bullet which killed Mr. Gray passed completely through his body and was not recovered. Trooper Baines added that when he returned to the scene the following day, he found traces of blood, a trail of droplets along the ridgeline, which ended in a larger quantity in an area where an animal had apparently laid down. Asked by Mr. Fletcher what had been done with Mr. Grayjs clothes, Trooper Baines replied that, follow- r ing the autopsy, they had been released to the fiineral home, which destroyed them. “No tests were done for powder residue,” he added. Game Warden Jim Bankston testified that when he arrived at the scene, Trooper Baines was there with Mr. Price, Mr. Selvage and Mr. Knott. When the trooper left to get his camera, Mr. Selvage said, “Jim, I want to tell you what happened,” Warden Bankston testified. “He took me over to a white p»ne tree in front of the victim. He said oe had to wait for the deer to come out from behind it, then he shot it. He said, ‘Why did it have to be me? . . . Rappahannock News staff graphic/Lou Hatter A DIAGRAM DRAWN by James Selvage was produced during the trial to explain the scene on Turkey Mountain where the shooting occured. Why me?’” Warden Bankston said that when he first arrived, he didn’t know who had fired the shot, and that he saw no evidence of a wound on Mr. Gray’s body until he opened his jacket and shirt and saw blood. When he pulled up the t-shirt, he saw a small wound. Warden Bankston further testified that, when he returned to the scene on Saturday, the day after the shooting, Mr. Selvage showed him a different spot on the trail where he said he was standing. There was about a 60-yard difference, he said, between the spot he indicated on Friday evening and the spot he showed Warden Bankston on Saturday, the game warden said. Warden Bankston said if the bullet passed completely through the animal, there should have been some evidence of the shot at the spot where the deer was hit. The blood trail, he testified, began about 20 yards east of where Mr. Selvage indicated the deer had stood.

He (Mr. Selvage) showed no emotion . . . Later, as we sat in my car, he told us they (Mr. Price’s party) didn’t have permission” to hunt on Mr. Miller’s property. “I told him I had seen a permit signed by Eddie Jenkins.” Warden Bankston testified that Mr. Selvage replied, “Well, forget I said that.” Cross-examined by Mr. Fletcher, Warden Bankston said that there was one pine tree which Mr. Selvage showed him Friday night. There was another pine tree —near a blazed oak — which Mr. Selvage maintained was actually the pine which he showed the game warden. “I have no recollection of a blazed oak that night,” the warden said. Asked if he could have been mis taken about the distances, Warden Bankston replied, “It was 100 yards, not 100 feet, I’m sure. I made notes. I paced the distance the next day — it was consistent with what he told me: 100 yards.” When Mr. Fletcher attempted to pursue whether or not any of the hunters involved was trespassing, Mr. Luke objected that it was not relevant. Judge Foley agreed. “I don’t care if they were all trespassing. The question is whether there was the reckless discharge of a firearm. Let’s get back to the relevant question.” Warden Bankston said that he walked through the area where Mr. Selvage said he shot the deer, and that he found no blood. He exphuned that “sometimes a deer moves a few steps before it begins to bleed — I looked around and found no blood.” Saturday afternoon, Warden Bankston added, he found blood about 20 yards east of the place that Mr. Selvage had indicated Friday evening. Following Warden Bankston’s testimony, which ended the prosecution’s case, Judge Foley asked to examine Mr. Selvage’s gun: a Remington Model 721.30-.06, fitted with a 3 X 9 power Bushnell lightenhancing telescopic scope. From his seat on the bench, Judge Foley pointed the gun out the window, sighting through the scope. He looked through it for a moment, then handed it back to bailiff W. A. Buntin without comment. Mr. Fletcher moved to strike the charge against Mr. Selvage, on the basis that the Commonwealth had shown no recklessness on his part. Mr. Luke argued that “recklessness is in the eye of the beholder.” Danger to life is one of the elements in the definition of the charge, he argued, and the shooting of Ricky Gray fulfilled that element. Judge Foley found for Mr. Luke, agreeing that looking at the evidence “in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth,” the motion to strike should be denied. The first witness for the defense was Dr. Frances P. Field, a medical examiner with the Northern Virginia district office. She testified that her autopsy found a missile wound track which ran from an entrance wound on the lower right side of Mr. Gray’s torso, across the chest cavity and exited on the upper left front of his chest. She described the entrance wound as a “1/4 inch round hole,” and the exit (Continued on Page 14) TENT SALE! 3.9% APR $1200 \ Rebates PONTIAC-CADILLAC-GMC TRUCK-BUICK INC.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. _/ THURSDAY, MAY 7,1987 Editorials A shot in the arm The approval by the Board of Supervisors on Monday of a special exception permit for a migrant camp for workers in the Sharps’ apple orchards was a much needed shot in the arm to the apple business in Rappahannock County, which has been laboring near death for quite some time. Although the granting of a permit does not, of course, guarantee the eventual recovery of the patient, it will at least allow Alex and Roseanne Sharp a fighting chance to make the business work. And the restrictions placed on the permit will, we hope, calm the concerns of neighbors about problems which have, in ... some cases, been associated with these camps. " The loss of the apple business to the county would not mean the end of the world, or of agriculture. But, as more agricultural uses fall by the wayside, the county moves | inexorably closer to becoming an area of formerly sizeable f farms carved up into large-lot subdivisions; a bedroom I community for the affluent from the ever-encroaching environs of the Metro D. C. area. Perhaps that is inevitable. We hope not. The Board of Supervisors has, by their decision, once again affirmed its intent to preserve the agricultural uses traditional in the county. We support that action. Congratulations! Last Tuesday, a dinner was held to recognize ALL the v* volunteer organizations jri the the cQunty. When thf , s , organizers finished counting, they found that more thanJJO . groups provide volunteer services to the county and its residents. The list is impressive. The individuals who donate their time are even more so. We’d like to add our appreciation and thanks to those of Del. Andy Guest, whose words can’t be improved upon. And, we’d like to urge those who have not yet volunteered to do so. The reward is far more valuable than dollars and cents. Not really ‘big deals’ By EUGENE MCCARTHY Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Consumers’ Union has recently published a 50-year retrospective on products made and marketed during that half century. Included are items the editors call “small wonders and big deals,” which according to the editors have revolutionized the lives of consumers. Consumers’ Union evidently has been affected by the tendency, manifest most strongly in television news, to use more language or more intense and extreme language than is warranted by reality. All of the products included in the book have changed the lives of Americans, in some cases significantly, in others moderately, and in some cases minimally, for good or for bad, but few have changed things in a revolutionary way. Among the 50 products listed in the book, seven, possibly eight, may be said to have had or to be having a revolutionary effect on American life. Air conditioning, for example, has eliminated differences among the seasons of the year, and differences between life in the sun belt and the sleet belt and the snow belt. It has also all but eliminated the screened porch, both front and back, and with it courting as well as the family and neighborhood activities that went on within the protective confines of those porches. The electric washer has affected life and culture only marginally. The dryer (gas or electric), however, has destroyed the social and natural character of drying clothes, eliminating the dependence of that process on sun and wind, and eliminating the occasions it provided for talk across backyard fences. Running shoes (once called tennis shoes) have made a revolutionary mark. In backward countries, they have become standard foot wear. Once the distinguishing foot wear of “little old ladies in tennis shoes” in advanced countries, they have been taken over by emancipated, professional and para-professional women (at least on the way to work and on the way home) as a mark of independence from hobbling custom-im posed shoes. They have prompted the manufacture and marketing of at least one new product, now advertised on television, to neutralize or offset the odor of walking or running shoes. This is a product needed 50 years ago when, in late summer, the season’s “Keds” were so rank that mothers ordered them put out of doors at night along with the cat. Undoubtedly there is more and better sound these days, technically speaking, as a result of the five or six sound-affecting inventions included in the report. These include long playing records, hi-fis, compact discs, magnetic tape, etc. It is hard to identify their truly revolutionary character, however. On the other hand, television and videotape recorders have eliminated the small town movie theater, and all but eliminated conversation, checkers, dominos, card playing, and the family piano as family recreation. Perhaps the most revolutionary innovation, although it is only marginally included in the book, is the power lawn mower, without which suburban development as we know it might not have taken place. Great principles of community living, such as “Never trust a neighbor who offers to cut your lawn, or trim your side of the hedge” might never have been pronounced. Nor would Saturday in the suburbs have become a lost day of the week. Significant revolutionary innovations missing from the Consumers’ Union list are the ball point pen and variations of it (far cries from Parker’s Life Time pen, once popular as a high school graduation present), which have become common property beyond what Karl Marx anticipated; the hard hat, which has reduced construction accidents, spun-off into motorcycle and football helmets, become a trademark for those who do physical work, and replaced the old pith helmet for colonial and post-colonial wear, and the plastic garbage bag, whose usefulness is legendary and which makes modern urban and suburban life possible.

JOEL DACZEWITZ Auction Chairman Sperry ville Sight/Hearing results To the editor: On March 24, 25 and 26 the Rappahannock Lions Club conducted its free annual hearing and sight screening for county school children and adult residents. The mobile screening unit visited Wakefield School, where 155 students were tested; Rappahannock County Elementary School, where 192 students were checked, and Rappahannock County High School, where tests were administered to 108 students. The Lions were also pleasantly surprised that 27 adults also took advantage of the free tests. A total of 482 people were screened, the most since the testing began in 1982. Thirty-nine individuals were determined to have some degree of hearing problem, and 17 were referred to specialists for further testing. Another 169 of those tested had some vision deficiency, and 78 were referred for consultation. Lions Club members (13), their wives and other volunteers (10), worked a total of 167 man-hours on the project. A member of the project committee will be checking with the schools in about a month to determine whether students who were referred to specialists have in fact been examined. Results will be kept confidential. Anyone desiring further information about this year’s sight/hearing project should contact Kermit Weakley (675-3246). My sincere thanks for the excellent cooperation of all involved with the project. KERMIT WEAKLEY Project Chairman Washington Farming has a chance lo the editor: My family and I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the tremendous community support we received at Monday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. The board acted responsibly and fairly. The supervisors showed that farming may yet have a future in Rappahannock County. Thanks to all farmers, friends and neighbors. Washington ALEX SHARP Begging for help To the editor: My name is Kenneth Peterson. I have just been indicted for breaking and entering in Warren County. Another time I got in trouble, alcohol was involved then also. I lost my driving license for six months. My main problem is I am an alcoholic. That last time I got in trouble I thought it would never happen to me again, that I could control my drinking - I was proved wrong. I have put in numerous requests at the Warren County Jail to talk to anyone with information on inpatient alcoholic treatment programs, all to no avail. I was told Alcoholics Anony mous could help. I agree, but I feel I need other treatment first. Afterward, AA could help me stay sober. I am not looking to get out early or anything like that as that is up to the jury. I am asking for help from anyone who could talk to me with information on alcohol programs or could help me get in one. It’s not just a question of quitting, I’ve done that-20 times or more. If anyone can offer help please contact me at the following address: Kenneth Peterson, 8 E. Jackson Street, Front Royal, Va. 22630. KENNETH PETERSON Front Royal Fun, and a success lo the editor: I would like to take a moment to thank all the parents and children who made the RCES Fun Fair a success! First let me say that this is proof that we can pull together as a community and support our only public elementary school. On a weekend when we had to compete with the Apple Blossom Festival, Gold C%>, etc., etc., we managed to gross $3,334 for the elementary school PTA, which will be used in efforts to support our school and children. If the citizens of this county wish to see new things for our school, and not raise taxes, this is how to do it. This is also an example to our children that in order to get something we must be able to give something. Now a special thanks to Linda Mallory who co-chaired this event with me, to Maggie and Kenny Rogers and their children who came up with some great ideas, to Chris and Jamie Hoffman, Eric and Celena. Good going, guys; it could not have been done without you. Pat Foster, where did Camille get a great guy like that? Shelly Dennis, Becky, Bemie and Hunter Foster, Beth and Sam Conrad, Linda Welk and her husband, Deborah Flinchum, Larry Settle, Pat Mullen and many more too numerous to mention — all of these people manned their stations all day. Cindy Andreoni was our artistic poster person. Thanks also to the cafeteria crew, Pat Jenkins and all who put up not only with me running in and out of their hair, but gave up their Saturday to be there. Also deserving thanks are Shelby for cleaning up after us and Pud Maeyer, the only teacher who participated and helped me keep an eye on things. Captain Streapy, thank you for spending your Saturday time checking in oh us' Seyera) times to see if we \Vei%' b’. k’:1 ^J'' * And thanks to the office staff, Mrs. Kidwell and Mrs. Piper, who put up with us running in and out of the office for a month, and of course to all the people who came out to participate in the Fun Fair. Finally let me say please take the time to give and care for kids’ sake. Give an hour or so a week of your time to the elementary school. We are now a national PTA, we’re on a roll, now is the time to come and join the PTA. Give us your ideas or give us a call — Cindy Andreoni, PTA president, 987-8750, Mary Jane Swift, 636-6363, Camille Harris, 675-3757. Any of these people are glad to hear from you. One more thing — anyone interested in starting an organization at the high school (which is desperately needed) please give me or Camille a call. Again thanks to all the people who came and participated. MARY JANE SWIFT Huntly Thanks, Mrs. Eldred To the editor: The first, second and third grade enrichment classes from Rappahannock County Elementary School thank Mrs. Fran Eldred for the wonderful job she did on the Walking Tour of Washington, Va., on March 18.

Vi i Radon danger varies widely It can’t be seen and has no smell. Its “progeny” can damage tissue and cause lung cancer. Many homes, including those in southwest Virginia, may be harboring this gas, thought to be the major single source of natural radiation exposure to the public. It’s radon, a gas which is released from the earth when uranium, a radioactive metal, breaks down. Because radon is inert — it doesn’t readily react chemically with other elements — it passes easily through materials, and seeps into houses through cracks and pores in concrete floor slabs and foundation walls. Because it’s radioactive, radon decays at a constant rate into other chemical elements. These radioactive products or “progeny” latch on to tiny dust specks in the air. When inhaled, they may get lodged in the ; lungs where they release small bursts of energy which can destroy 1 tissue. Of the total of about 130,000 estimated lung cancer deaths a year in ■ the United States, scientists figure that 5,000 to 20,000 deaths (four to 15 per cent) may be due to radon. The risk of developing lung cancer increases as radon concentrations and the period of exposure in* creases. Estimates by the Environmental Protection Agency suggest that a lifetime exposure to a radon concentration of one picoCurie a litre . (pCi/L) approximates the risk of lung cancer associated with smoking one ; cigarette a day. Thus, living with 20 pCi/L has an effect comparable to smoking a pack a day. Most houses in the country prob., ablywmr have a radon problem, but a few have been found to have very high levels. No one knows, however, which houses have a problem and -..Which don’t. To find out more, the ’■ *'■ EPA is launching a nationwide sur; vey of homes and has started investigations in Pennsylvania and some other states. Large amounts of radon may be present in soils and rocks containing uranium, granite, shale, phosphate, . and pitchblende. But though homes in such mineral-rich areas are partic. ularly vulnerable, other things need to be considered. The way a house is built, for example. The National Indoor Envi. ronmental Institute says that newer homes - with better door and window seals to protect against heat loss in winter — are more likely to have high radon levels than older, draftier houses. One solution would be to use air-to-air heat exchangers which can increase ventilation in energy-efficient homes without major increases in heating bills. The type of soil is also important . — more permeable soils such as sand allow radon to pass through faster ; than others, such as clay. Because little is known about this subject, Holschuhs to share Color slides of New Zealand, taken during a trip in March, will be shown by Helen and Howdy Holschuh at 8 p.m. Friday, May 8, at Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church on Route 522 at Scrabble. The Holschuhs’ itinerary included the port city of Auckland, the glow-worm cave, and the town of Rotorua, with its geo-thermal park - on the North Island. They also saw some spectacular scenery on New Zealand’s South Island, including the resort community of Queenstown nestled on a lake amid the Remarkables Mountains, with nearby gold mining dreges, and exciting jet boat rides captured on the Shotover ' River, plus a cruise on Milford Sound. Other views include majestic Mt. Cook at sunrise, the flower gardens of Christ Church and a close-up look at the sheep and wool industry. The slide presentation will be preceded by a covered dish supper ; beginning at 7 p.m. in the Mt. Leb• anon fellowship hall. Friends and neighbors are in‘ vited to view the slides and also to ' come early for the supper if they wish, said Pastor John Warren. : New Zealand trip Readme Rappahannock Betas for local news IfclHNIC.AI. EYE Virginia Tech researcher Dwight Atkinson is interested in characterizing the various types of soil found in the country according to their ability to allow radon to pass through them. The geology of the underlying soil and rock is another factor. A fault which intersects with a uranium deposit, for example, may act as a vent, channeling the gas into homes further away from the deposit. “The residents of southwest Virginia may be at an especially high risk due to the presence of fractured bedrock and faults which could provide a pathway for radon to migrate into homes and mines,” says Mr. Atkinson, who is with the environmental engineering division. Coal miners, he said, may be particularly vulnerable, because they spend so much time underground in areas with large exposed rock surfaces. Mr. Atkinson is seeking funds from the Powell River Project to do a year-long survey of homes and mines in southwest Virginia. The project is a consortium of Virginia coal mining companies formed to promote the welfare of residents in that part of the state. The homes will be monitored during both cold and warm weather seasons with simple, inexpensive devices called “track etch” detectors which record marks left by radon on sensitized film.

Things like “Thank you,” “I love you,” and "Here, mom, let me help you. ” For those of us who are blessed with a close Mother-Child relationship, this day will give us a chance to say, in.a very special way, the things we should have said by our words and actions all year long. Those who are not blessed with this close relationship, should try to accomplish, in this one brief day, all the things they didn't do in the other 364. Sometimes we try so hard that we may seem insincere. But on this Mother's Day, make a conscious effort to repair all the neglect and broken relationship that may exist. Certainly, you may not be able to erase all bitterness and alienation in one day, but you can make a start. And once you start, continue to mend the fences on a daily basis. Then next year, when it’s Mother’s Day again, you can both celebrate the joy of having each other. You can both honestly say, “I love you.” Copyfiflhl 19*7. UW IMtn Nmpapx S«vaa P O Bo* BOOS.

CMH offers talk on osteoporosis Osteoporosis will be the subject of a free health forum presented by Dr. Robert Rutkowski on May 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the Culpeper Memorial Hospital dining room. The most common skeletal disorder in the world, osteoporosis is second only to arthritis as the leading cause of bone problems in the elderly. “Osteoporosis means ‘porus bone,’ and it results from a gradual loss of bone substance. Some loss of substance occurs naturally with aging in all individuals,” said Dr. Rutkowski, an orthopaedic surgeon in Culpeper. “In some older adults, however, this loss reaches significant proportions, so that tones become porous and weakened, breaking easily.” Women are eight times more susceptible to the disease than men. Following menopause, a decline in the level of estrogen leads to faster loss of tone content in all parts of the skeleton. While chances of developing the disease increase with advancing age, symptoms which occur in the elderly may reflect a condition that began much earlier in life. Following a discussion on the causes and consequences of osteoporosis, Dr. Rutkowski will explain methods of detection and treatment of this debilitating disease which strikes one out of four American women. The doctor will provide advice on how to prevent the disease through diet and exercise, and will answer participants’ questions at the end of the discussion. The public is encouraged to attend. To register for this free presentation, please call the CMH Community Relations Office at 8294307.

Spring: Time for stress , nyJUHJNiSUKUENS ■WMimock New* Contributing Wrttor I agree with the many people who feel that spring is one of file prettiest times of the year. After a cold winter, with short days, the warmth of spring and its increasing daylight hours are a welcome respite. Most people seem to be overcome with an urge to get outside, clean up the yard, possibly plant a garden. For many, there is also an increase in physical activities and sports. Every spring it seems I hear people talking about how busy they are. An increase in activities combined with already flill schedules sets people up to experience stress. There are two kinds of stress. Good stress, called eustress, can be . a positive building force. On the other hand bad stress, known as distress, is a destructive force. The effects of bot^h are cumulative, that is, • it all adds-up. Hie effects of both on our physical, bodies are also the same. In fact, the definition of stress is "a non-specific response of the mind and body to any change or adjustment.” Businessmen during one of my recent talks were very interested in FAffliLV =A Clto the cumulative effects of stress in the form of burnout. They were also interested in how stress affects productivity. Simply put, stress up to a point increases productivity, but past that point productivity drops dramatically. Some common signs of too much stress in our lives include irritability, lack of patience, chronic feelings of tiredness, feeling depressed or unappreciated, and feeling confused or disoriented. Stomach problems, gastrointestinal upset, tremors, sweating or chills can be physical signs of stress. Stress can also affect our thinking by making us feel confused, experience memory loss, and have problems making decisions. Taking on the additional tasks that spring brings can make it easy for a person to experience cumula Woodville area social news Mrs. J. H. Willis Jr. of Lignuir was a guest Saturday of Mrs. H. B.

Adolescence is a kind of emotional seasickness. Both are funny, but only in retrospect. Arthur Koestler tive stress. It can make a person tired, irritable and quick to anger. We are all human. It is easy to try to do too much. The consequence of stress takes its toll on the people closest to us as well as ourselves. And the possibility of illness or injury increases with stress. It is important that we set priorities and not try to do too much. But that is much easier said than done, especially in the spring.

Patrons are, from left, Elise Foster, Brandon Hoffman, Samantha Slaughter, Ariele Foster and Jonathan Maeyer. By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock Ncwi Special Writer “Have fun!” was the order of the day at Rappahannock Elementary School’s PTA Fun Fair May 3 as students, parents and friends enjoyed games, food and fellowship from 11 • a.m. to 3 p.m. There were a variety of games ; where prizes were easily won. Lolli; pop trees, balloon pop, ring toss and go fish were a few of the 17 games available. Game tickets were still in < demand at 3:45. ; Parent Maggie Rogers was in? strumental in getting live entertain’ ment for the day. A favorite act of » many students and adults was David Van Derveer. He is a professional comedian, juggler, magician and bullwhip and escape artist, as well as being skilled in the fine art of vaudville entertainment. David and his friend Frank (a ferret) are members of the Fearless Airborne Coryury in Stanardsville. Children held tensely onto their balloon animals as they watched him juggle four lighted torches and they couldn’t believe their eyes when he juggled a bowling ball, a lighted torch and a machete at the same time. Student Tucker Rogers, dressed as a clown, assisted his father at the popcorn stand and snow-cone machine.

People made their way to the fortune teller and tattoo artist as they munched on hot dogs, pizza, drinks and baked goods. One student departed from the fortune teller’s tent astounded. “She was right! She said I was smart - and I am!” The day’s activities ended with the awarding of the $300 grand prize. Students sold tickets for two weeks as a kick-off campaign for the fair. The money collected will be used in next year’s PTA budget. Jim Buckholtz of Huntly won $300, Bill Maddox of Centreville won $100 and Teresa Layton of Washington won $50. These lucky names were chosen from more than 2,100 entries. Kindergartener Amy Buckholtz received the $25 award for selling the most contest tickets during the campaign. She sold 101 tickets. She is the daughter of Jim and Nancy Buckholtz of Huntly. Nancy Buckholtz was present to receive her husband’s grand prize and assist her daughter in accepting the highest salesman award. “We’re definitely going out to dinner tonight!” she exclaimed. Co-chairpersons Linda Mallory and Mary Jane Swift thanked the dedicated parents who donated baked goods, money and time toward the Fun Fair. Since this was the first year for a Spring Fun Fair Mrs. Mallory and Mrs. Swift organized and planned the entire agenda. The success of this year’s fair insured plans for it to become an annual event at RCES. “Next year we’ll be looking for more volunteers to donate food, manage games, and give their time,” said Mrs. Mallory. “Because we’re planning to have a bigger and better fair next year!” Rappahannock News photos/Lou Hatter RCHS JUNIORS AND SENIORS enjoy their prom Saturday night. Following the dance, a group of parents sponsored a dance and swim party at the Lakeside Swim Club in Culpeper.

Wildflower week in Shenandoah National Park Shenandoah National Park has designated May 10 through 16 as Spring Wildflower Week and will be offering special programs and activities for the public during this period. Ranger conducted motorcades, guided walks, and evening programs featuring the Park’s spring wildflowers will be offered throughout the week, Park-wide. Photographic exhibits of spring wildflowers by photographer Richard Wiegrand will also be on display at both Park visitor centers. Park Superintendent Ronald Wrye invites all Park visitors “to come celebrate the Park’s spring wildflower beauties before they disappear,” not returning until next year. Shenandoah National Park has more than 1,100 varieties of flow ering plants. The progression begins by mid-March with the arrival of the first white or lavender hepatica blossoms. As each day grows slightly warmer, early spring flows into midspring; like clockwork the wildflowers become numerous and varied. In individual patches, bloodroot, violets (white, yellow and blue), great chickweed, cutleaf toothwort, mayapples, pink lady’s slippers, and large-flowered trillium can all be found in dense concentrations scattered along the edges of the Skyline Drive and throughout the Park. During the first few weeks of May, the peak blooming period for spring wildflowers in Shenandoah takes place. As the leaves return to the trees, sunlight is shaded from the forest floor and the sun-loving ephemerals disappear, making way for the shade-tolerant summer flowers. Spring wildflowers are short lived, so don’t miss your chance!

Curtain time is at 8 p.m. “Voices of Rappahannock” is an original play based on oldtime folk stories told by senior citizens of the county. The author of the play, Catherine Kiley, is directing the production as a gesture of support for the dramatic arts in our local schools. “Voices” was produced originally for the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community and performed at the Gay Street Theatre in 1983. The cast of the RCHS production is made up entirely of high school and elementary school students in grades six through 12. The script has been modified slightly to reflect the requirements of the younger cast. Through their involvement in the production the students have been taught many improvisational and other performance techniques. Other local artists assisting with the production include Bill Abernathy, Mitch Hostetter, Marque Kolack and Kathy Kenney, RCHS school sponsor.

Wakefield honors achievers Wakefield School in Huntly has been informed that several of its students are the recipients of important academic awards and scholarships. Seniors Stephen Butler of Marshall and Lisa Larimer of Front Royal have both been named Marshall Hahn Scholars at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute’s College of Engineering. The Hahn Scholarships are among the most prestigious awards offered to a very select number of incoming freshmen at Virginia Tech. Another senior, Kodwo Mills of Flint Hill and Vienna, has been named an Outstanding Negro Scholar on the basis of his scores on the National Merit Qualifying Test and has been granted a full scholarship to Georgetown University. Already named a National Merit Scholar and a recipient of the $12,000 Virginia Scholars Award given annually to 45 seniors statewide, Sean Bennett of Boston, Va., has learned that he is a semi-finalist for the most prestigious of all academic honors, the Presidential Scholars Award. In each state of the Union, only one male and one female student will be chosen a 1987 Presidential Scholar. Meeting recently in Princeton, N. J., the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars drew up its lists of semi-finalists, which includes Wakefield’s top scholar, Sean Bennett. A year ago Mr. Bennett distinguished himself in making the only perfect score in the nation on the PS AT/N ational Merit Qualifying Mr. Bennett, currently a candidate for Wakefield’s highest-level diploma, the 36-credit Advanced Studies: Classical/Scientific Diploma, ranks first in his class and is active in student government, drama, music, and varsity athletics. After graduation, Bennett plans to attend either Harvard or Stanford University. In an assembly called to recognize these students for their outstanding academic achievements, Wakefield headmaster William Lynn reminded his audience that, in the face of dynamic foreign challenge, education is seen increasingly as the key to American competitiveness. Dr. Lynn said that he hopes the community will begin to give as much recognition to academic achievement as it already does to athletic triumphs. “Both types of achievement are important,” Dr. Lynn said, “but to date, the scholars have been short-changed when it comes to recognition and appreciation, and our nation has been the loser.” Wakefield honor students named The following Wakefield students achieved first honors for the third grading period: Robb DeBergh, Stephanie Tholand, Mary Beth Williams, Sharee Dunagan, Katie Duffy, Oliver Crump, Scott Crump, Scott Updike, Alex Kelly, Van DeBergh, Nicky Konick, Cora Monahan, Katie Zindel, Missy Hinkell, Welby Lynn, Luke Zindel, Carolyn Shaw, Peter Walsworth, Christopher Angell, Rachel Monahan, Jennifer Anderson, Carlos Martinez-Fontana, Merren Booth, Takashi Takenoshita, Kodwo May 8 hearing on game rules On Friday, May 8, the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries will meet to review the proposed changes to the 1987-88 hunting seasons.

Sport Panthers season stands at 6 and 5 By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Although hampered by a season full of rain-outs and games called due to darkness, the RCHS baseball team has persevered, compiling a respectable record of six wins and five losses while keeping well in contention for the Bull Run District playoffs with the season better than half over. With a win against Strasburg at home on Friday, the Panthers moved into sole ownership of third place in the Bull Run District. On Thursday, April 23, the Panthers went to Brentsville, facing off for a 3-2 pitcher’s duel which saw RCHS emerge victorious. A total of 10 hits were registered, with winning pitcher Doug Smith holding the home team to four hits and one earned run, while striking out eight Tiger batters. Leading hitters for the Panthers were James Walters, who went two for four, and Wayne Foster, who was credited with two RBIs. Coach Gary Leake said that Doug Smith was definitely in control most of the game. “He had both of his breaking pitches working, and maintained good control.” The Panthers rallied from a 2-1 deficit going into the top of the seventh. Smith reached base on a Tiger error, and was advanced by a base hit by Walters. Another Brentsville miscue moved both runners up a base, and they scored on a single by Wayne Foster. Coach Leake praised his sophomore hurler, who he said had “one of his best outings of the season.” Between the Brentsville game and the previous contest, Smith struck out 19 batters while allowing only seven hits. “After getting off to a rough start (Smith was the losing pitcher in several early-season games) he is working hard,” Coach Leake said. “He is getting help during practice on his form, learning to mix his pitches - he’s doing quite well.” % On Monday, April 27, the Panthera again hit the road to face Stonewall Jackson, ranked in the preseason coaches poll as one of the top three teams in the Bull Run District. RCHS lost a game played under the lights by a score of 7-2. Leading the Rappahannock attack were Doug Smith, who went two for four at the plate; and Wayne Foster, who batted two for three and whose two-run homer in the top of the first innning accounted for the Panthers only tallies. “We struggled a little, playing our first game under the lights,” Coach Leake said. “Several times, we had trouble picking up the ball.. . But,” he quickly added, “Pm not trying to use the lights as an excuse. “We should have won... it was a 3-2 game most of the way... but we didn’t execute. When you play a team the calibre of Stonewall Jackson, you have to execute — we didn’t.” Pitcher Matthew Settle was charged with the loss, giving up three earned runs to the Generals. On Tuesday, April 28, the Panthers returned home for the first of a three-game home stand against the Central High Falcons. The Panthers gave their partisan fans quite a show, drubbing the Falcons 10-4. Wesley Jenkins paced the Panthers at the plate, batting two for three. But the entire team showed its stuff at the plate, especially in the third inning, when the order batted around, shelling the dazed Falcon fielders for a total of eight runs. James Walters, Wayne Foster, Reggie Williams and Doug Smith each contributed one RBI, while Thomas Jones and Greg Smith each scored two runs. uoug bmitn was the winning pitcher, bringing his record to 3-3 on the season. “It was quite a contrast to the game against Brentsville,” Coach Leake commented. “Today, we got men on base, advanced them and scored them ... It was a total team effort... We outhit Stonewall Jackson, but they outscored us — today was different. We played smart baseball, the type we need to play every game.” He added that Doug Smith had another good game, pitching a fourhitter, striking out 11 and allowing only two walks. Central scored four runs on three hits and two errors, tallying three of the four hits in its four-run second inning. After that four-run flurry in the Becond, Smith pitched five innings of no-hit ball to finish the game. For the Panthers, the eight-run third saw Greg Smith, James Walters, Tony Clark and Wesley Jenkins all reaching on hits; they were joined by Doug Smith and Reggie Williams, who reached on walks. Thomas Jones and, Gregg Daczewitz also became baserunners thanks to two Falcon errors. The Panthers stole three bases in the third, and a total of six for the Dr. Robert B.

Everybody got hits - all at the right time. Key hitting was the factor in the win.” On Friday, Rappahannock faced Strasburg again, this time at home. The Panthers pulled out a 5-4 victory with one run in the bottom hall on the seventh. Rappahannock jumped out to an early lead when Thomas Jones singled in the home half of the first, and stole second base. Following an intentional walk to Wayne Foster, he stole second and Jones swiped third base. A single by Reggie Williams brought Jones home for the Panthers’ first run. In the fourth inning, Reggie Williams reached on a walk and Danny Ellis was sent in to pinch run. He stole both second and third base, and came home on a passed ball. Thomas Jones opened the fifth with a single for Rappahannock. He moved to third on a single by Greg Smith, who then stole second base, putting two men in scoring position. Both scored on an RBI single by Doug Smith. Strasburg scored three runs on three hits and two errors in the top of the fourth, then added another run on two hits in the fifth. With the game tied at four, Coach Leake pulled starting pitcher Matthew Settle in favor of sophomore reliever Doug Smith. He held Strasburg scoreless, pitching two innings and receiving credit for the win. In the bottom of the seventh, with the score still even at four, designated hitter Gregg Daczewitz drew a walk, and Jay Burke was substituted as a pinch-runner. Adam Clatterbuck was sent to the plate, pinch-hitting for Thomas Jones. He poked a sacrifice fly, moving Burke to second base. Burke took third base on a passed ball. Greg Smith then came to the plate with one out, a runner on third, and rapped a sharp base hit to right field to bring Burke home with the winning run. “It was a big game,” Coach Leake said. “Overall, the best game of the season ... the best team effort.

Day realtor MISSED SAVINGS Do you still think it is cheaper to go on your own merry way and rent quarters rather than own your own home? You’re not alone. Many people believe that owning a home is more expensive than renting. On the surface that may seem true. But does a person who rents benefit from: 1. Tax savings? 2. Increasing equity? 3. Increases in home value due to inflation? Say you bought a home three years ago for $100,000. If it increased in value at only 8% per year, that same house would be worth $125,071 today. Confess —. are you currently saving $25,071 every three years? Also, there’s no disputing that home ownership is the best tax break there is. No matter how Congress changes the tax structure, the one unviolate principle seems to be that the home owner gets he tax deducation for the interest paid. In the early years of the mortgage, well over 90% of the monthly payment may consist of interest. That’s one very big deduction. > If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, VA. 22747.

Matthew Settle pitched a good game, and Doug Smith looked good in relief to record his fourth win.” The win against Central evened the Panthers record at 5-5, tying them for third in the Bull Run District. With the win against Strasburg Friday, the Panthers have third place to themselves. Coach Leake said that as Rappa hannock enters the second half of the season, “we’re still shooting for the home field advantage” in the district tournament. The top four finishers in the district receive that advantage. “We’re still alive -- that’s our goal.” He added that he feels that each game sees more improvement in the team. “Sometimes a young team has difficulty in realizing its potential to win. Ther is a great desire... some times it takes everybody having a good game to gain confidence. The two games this week told them they can do it. I just hope they take it and go all out the second half of the season. On Thursday, May 7, the Panthers face Page County at home, beginning at 5 p.m. On Tuesday, May 12, they play George Mason in another road game, followed by a game against Clarke County, also away, on Friday, May 15. Wakefield tennis team undefeated By ELIZABETH duFRANE Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer The Wakefield girls’ tennis team is off to a blazing start this season, scoring victories over Randolph-Macon Academy and Warren County High School in Front Royal, Jefferson County High School in West Virginia, and Highland School in Warrenton. The team is being coached by Uli Maeyer, who switched to the girls’ team “with much pleasure” after leading the boys’ team through a successful season last year. He said he decided to coach the girls’ team this spring because he felt the girls have much more talent as well as more fun on the court. The Owls’ first match against Randolph-Macon on March 24 proved to be an easy victory, with Wakefield winning by a score of 8-1.

The scores of the doubles matches proved, however, that the Wakefield girls easily outplayed their RMA opponents, largely because of better teamwork.

Susan Yeaman of Culpeper lost 6-8, but number four seed Terri Tarr of Warrenton won her match 8-1. Heidi Maeyer, number five for the Owls this season, won 8-5, while Elizabeth duFrane lost by the same margin. Once again, the doubles matches proved that the Lady Owls play better with a partner for moral support. McAllister and Yeaman, number one doubles seed, won 8-0, Bentley andMaeyer took their match 8-2, and Tarr and duFrane were also victorious 8-1. In their third outing, this time against Warren County, the Wakefield girls stomped their visiting opponents 8-1. In the singles matches the top three seeds, Bentley, McAllister and Yeaman, all had close matches but came out on top. In the lower seeds, Tarr, Maeyer and duFrane all gained easy victories.,, The \ doubles matches went a little'TeH smoothly for the Owls, as Bentley and Tarr lost their match 3-8. But, Heidi Maeyer and Elizabeth duFrane won 8-2 while Nicole Maeyer and Townley Mailler won their doubles 8-0. In their first away match, facing Jefferson County again on April 27, the Wakefield squad squeaked to a close victory, 6-2. They captured all the singles matches except two. All the other matches went smoothly, although the number three doubles match was scratched due to time and inclement weather. Still undefeated, the Wakefield team took on Highland School in Warrenton on April 30. The Lady Owls maintained their string of victories with a 6-3 win over Highland.

Budget cuts (Continued from Page 1) been endorsed as proposed, with $49,000. The board approved addenda which cover vocation and special education programs funded with federal and state money as a separate category, but left the textbook rental receipts entirely out of the budget. Rental fees are used to purchase new textbooks but in order for the money to be spent by the School Board, it must first be appropriated by the supervisors. They agreed to take this action during the year at the request of the School Board. Initially, they considered including the $66,469 figure for rental receipts in the instructional category, but Supervisors Lane and Charles Estes pointed out that this would give the School Board greater flexibility in choosing where to absorb the budget cuts. “The position we mean to have cut may not be cut,” Mr. Lane warned. “Exactly,” added Mr. Estes. “Inappropriate! Most innappropriate!” inteijected a tight-lipped superintendent of schools, shaking his head in disagreement. “You don’t have line item control,” Robert Estabrook reminded the board. “In my opinion, (the decision on where to take the budget reductions) is the prerogative of the School Board . . . You can cut the bottom line or by categories, but not by line items.” “We’re not trying to dictate how much (money) should go into each line item,” countered Supervisor Estes. “We’re just trying to give you some rationale for why we’re doing this.” “Don’t get us wrong. We’re not going by line items,” added Mr. Lane. ‘We’re just justifying the cuts we’ve made through the line items.” The reasoning behind the RIF of the special services coordinator lies partly in the steady decline of the county’s school enrollment over the past several years, leaving the central office with what the board sees as a top-heavy administration. In addition, noted assistant John McCarthy, the coordinator’s duties fall in three separate categories — gifted and talented programs, special education and Chapter I. The three could be split among the assistant superintendent and the two assistant principals, a practice followed in other school divisions, Mr. McCarthy said. (This third central office administrator was proposed by the School Board five years ago. In making cuts to the bottom line of the school budget, the supervisors noted that the salary for the new position comprised part of the reduction. The School Board, however, funded the position, transferring the money from other budget categories to instruction to make up the difference. The following year, the supervisors began their now standard practice of approving the school budget by categories.) After the board voted the final category, giving the 1987-88 school budget a total of $3,407,792 — up $167,971 from this year’s $3,407,792 — former School Board member Robert Eastham gave his blessings. “So far, so good,” he said, telling the supervisors that categorical approval is “the only way you can get a grip on it.” But he called for one more step. “Pin down with the School Board . . . get it dear what categories they are using for this budget and what line items are included in each category.” Chairman Hubert Gilkey had a last request. “We’d like a final working copy of the school budget (showing the new line item totals),” he told the superintendent. Sen. Miller (Continued from Page 1) zens of the 26th District, and promise that I will continue to speak out and vote accordingly. I also promise that if I am nomi nated on June 4, I will campaign vigorously in an effort to obtain an even better margin of victory than the very pleasing 60 percent margin received against a strong opponent in 1983.” 4 , spb»ng .

Garden Club flower show May 23 The Rappahannock County Garden Club’s spring Flower Show and Walking Tour has been scheduled for Saturday, May 23, at the Trinity Episcopal Church Parish Hall in Washington. All amateur gardeners are invited to participate in this traditional event. 'Die theme of this year’s show is “Our Hunt Country.” Entries in Division I-Design are by pre-registration only, and the deadline is May 18. Information about reservations, or a schedule listing classes, rules and regulations can be obtained by calling Mrs. Helen Holschuh (937-4721). Following the judging of the entries, the show will be open to the public from 2 until 8 p.m. Volunteers (Continued from Page 1) are represented — a person could volunteer for each one day a month and still not touch them all. “This is America. This is Virginia.” Volunteerism, Mr. Guest said, “is a way to touch our children, our grandchildren, and generations yet unthought of. . . From beauty pageants to the Fodderstack race, so many things are done by volunteers; to draw the community together, to share knowledge, to come away enriched in spirit and intellect, to strive toward the future.” “It is a delight to be with you,” he concluded, “and on behalf of all who have not yet volunteered — please, reach out and help them to enrich their lives by joining with you to help others.” Following the recognition of the organizations and their volunteers, Maurice Herndon rose to point out to the organizers that one group had been overlooked — inadvertently, he was sure. The audience seemed both bemused and amused by his comment, and he explained his point. “The Northern Piedmont Beekeepers Association is an organization which is especially appreciated at this time of year: swarming season.” Beekeepers across the country, he added, contribute some $9 billion to the economy as well — the product of their charges’ labors. And, he stressed, members of the association, himself included, are always willing to rid local residents of unwanted swarms of bees. 1 Check ®f)e fcappafjannocfe iletos to find out who’s getting married or who has tied the knot in your neighborhood.

This is a business reality that troubles many artists. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community is providing relief Friday, May 15, when it presents Michelle Hartz, a marketing and public relations expert. Ms. Hartz will discuss working with the media, publicizing shows, events and businesses, creating special events, preparing promotional materials, and reaching customers. Along with the “how-to’s” there will be handouts: a PR kit, sample ideas, and a list of media contacts. Think of the most widely publicized recent events in the “other Washington” and you’ll understand why Ms. Hartz was chosen for this presentation for the RAAC artists’ forum series. Two of her recent projects were the Treasure Houses of Britain at the National Gallery and the restoration and re-opening of the Willard Hotel in Washington. The cost of the workshop is $8 and the place is Blackwater Homestead near Boston. Like all of the Artists’ Forum presentations, the public relations seminar will begin with a potluck supper. Register by calling Sam Cliffton at 987-8143. The public relations seminar is the second in this year’s Artists’ Forum Series, which began in April with Artist-in-Residence Val Dubasky. Other presentations in the series are Basic Video Production, Saturday, June 6; Transformation: Folktale Into Theater, Sunday, June 28; Introduction to Paper-Making, Saturday, Aug. 22; Gospel for Everyone, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 18 and 19; Getting in Touch, Friday, Nov. 20.

Shooting (Continued from Page 3) wound as a “3/4 inch slit, more or less like a cut with a penknife. ” She found no trauma to any internal organs other than the missile track. In response to a question from Mr. Fletcher, Dr. Field said that the path of a hyper-velocity missile, such as that fired from a high-powered rifle, would be expected to cause more damage as it passed than what she found. She saw “no mutilation of any organs, . . . found no bullet fragments.” She also described finding “material consistent with powder debris” on the microscopic sections of the entrance wound. She said that the debris was “easy to detect” on each section. Dr. Field added that with “a shot fired from a .30-.06, from 194 feet away, I would not expect to find powder — it would certainly not be easy to detect — on a bullet fired from that distance.” Describing herself as a veteran of “about 1000 autopsies,” Dr. Field told the court that “given information about the distance a shot travelled, I have never found powder in a bullet wound at that distance.’r Usually, she said, powder debris is found on wounds from shots fired from a distance of up to two to three times the length of the gun barrel. (Mr. Selvage’s rifle had a 22-inch barrel.) “How about a distance of 10 feet?” Mr. Fletcher asked. “It would be unusual,” Dr. Field replied. “How about a shot fired from 20 feet?” “It would be very unusual,” she replied. “How about a shot fired from 194 feet?” Mr. Fletcher continued. “I don’t know of any examples,” Dr. Field said. She further told the court that it is “very difficult” to determine the calibre of a bullet by the size of the entrance hole; that the consistency of a human body is “essentially the same” as that of a deer; that it is difficult to predict the trajectory of a bullet after it strikes a body, and that the track is established by observing the damage to organs. Dr. Field said that the bullet’s path after it entered Mr. Gray’s body “appeared to be a straight line.” She said that it struck the ninth rib, shattering it, “which could cause the bullet to mushroom.” The wound, Dr. Field concluded, was consistent with a low-velocity, low power bullet. Mr. Luke established, during cross-examination, that Dr. Field relied on the telephone report in establishing her judgement about the relationship between distance and powder residue. “Do you ever. . . follow up to see if that is the distance of the gun?” “No,” Dr. Field replied. “If the facts determine later that the bullet was actually fired from 100 feet, you wouldn’t know?” “No,” Dr. Field admitted. “Your judgement,” Mr. Luke continued, “is essentially based on the pre-autopsy report — not subsequent corroboration.” “Yes.” Dr. Field also said that the fact that powder debris was found in the wound does not necessarily mean that it came from the bullet fired; that powder spilled onto the wound or stuck to the outside of the cartridge would appear the same. The next defense witness was Jay Mason, a forensic scientist and firearms expert with the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Northern Virginia Consolidated Laboratory in Fairfax. Mr. Mason corroborated Dr. Field’s testimony that it would be unusual to find powder residue in a wound caused from further than six feet away. He added that he had never seen it in a gunshot wound from as close as 10 feet, and that powder would not adhere to the top of the bullet as it travelled. He said the only explanation of powder in a wound at 194 feet would be if powder residue attached to the base of the bullet, “but it would be a very small amount. That is possible, but I have never seen it... It could be one or two grains — max — I wouldn’t expect to find four or five particles visible to the naked eye.” He added that a round with a curved base, or boat-tail, would be more likely to carry powder than a flatbased bullet, and that powder would adhere more easily to a lead bullet than to a copper-jacketed round.

Mr. Fletcher asked. “It would be larger than the entrance wound. How much would depend on the expansion and deformation of the bullet. . . depending on what it struck.” “There is a first time for everything?” Mr. Luke asked on cross-examination. “Yes,” Mr. Mason replied. “Could the powder have adhered during the reload process?” Mr. Luke asked. The fit of a bullet in a barrel is very tight, Mr. Mason said. “Any powder on the outside, I think would come off . . . I’m not aware of any studies.” Mr. Mason also said that, hypothetically, if a bullet struck a twig and fragmented, the controlled expansion typical of an intact bullet would not apply to a fragment. On redirect, Mr. Fletcher asked about the shape of an entrance wound caused by a fragment. “It would depend on the shape of the fragment ... If the fragment was the base of the bullet, it could carry powder.” Mr. Fletcher introduced into evidence a fully-loaded cartridge, a bullet, as well as an identical round cut in half. Testimony established that it was a Sierra Spitzer 180 grain fiatbased copper-jacketed bullet. The cartridge was loaded with 43 grains of4890 powder and fitted with a CCI 209 primer. According to figures in the Speer Reloading Manual, the same round has a muzzle velocity of 2,430 feet per second, and at 200 yards the velocity of the round is 2,095 fps. Its kinetic energy at 200 yards is 1,752 foot/pounds. (A foot/pound is an expression of energy: the force required to raise a one pound weight one foot is one foot/pound of energy.) Mr. Selvage took the stand briefly to establish that the items of evidence did indeed belong to him. “It is your testimony that this is what you fired at the deer on the Miller property?” Mr. Luke asked Mr. Selvage. « is me exact, type Duuet, ne replied. Mr. Fletcher’s next witness was Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Bruce E. Byrd, who in his 16 years in the Navy has attended some 39 schools, including missile technician, ballistics, aerodynamics and physics. He added that he is a Navy-certified small-arms instructor. He testified that in 15 years, he has missed only two hunting seasons with Mr. Selvage. “In my observations based on hunting with him,” CPO Byrd said, “he is a very competent, thorough and safety-conscious hunter... He is also an expert shot ... I have seen him fire three rounds in IV2 to two seconds. At 40 yards you could cover them with a silver dollar.” He said that the round used by Mr. Selvage would, at 100 yards, transmit 1,300-1,400 foot/pounds, or 60 percent of its energy to an object, “if you can stand up to it you’re a better man than me,” he added. CPO Byrd said that, by his experience, a hyper-velocity round such as the one used by Mr. Selvage will, when fired into an object, cause an effect known as hydrostatic shock. He likened it to the effect of shooting into a water-filled milk jug. If you shoot it with a .22, the round will punch right through the carton, CPO Byrd said. But if you shoot the same carton with a hypervelocity high-powered rifle round, the entrance hole is the size of the round, but the carton will explode due to the effect of the bullet on the liquid inside. CPO Byrd also explained another effect of §i hyper-velocity round, known as cavitation. The passage of the round causes a hole, which is larger and causes more damage than just the puncture effect because of the partial vacuum caused by its speed. Based on his hunting experience, CPO Byrd testified that the lungs of a deer struck by that round would be turned to a jelly-like consistency, and the heart would be fragmented. “Is this a load of the type used by the military?” Mr. Fletcher asked. “No,” CPO Byrd replied. “It was outlawed by the 1906 Hague Convention — because of the trauma caused to the body by this type round ... a full-jacketed (military load) will not transfer energy to the body like a hunting load.” On cross-examination, Mr. Luke asked CPO Byrd about hunting safety. “It’s good to know what’s behind you ... If you see a deer, you should know what’s behind you?” “Yes sir — that’s common sense.” He said that he has known bullets to pass completely through deer. Would it be possible, Mr. Luke asked, for a bullet to enter small and leave small? That would mean that the hypersonic bullet had been slowed to subsonic velocity, CPO Byrd replied. “That would mean a tremendous amount of damage to organs inside (caused by the transfer of energy).” It would be possible for the exit / and entry wounds to be a 3-to-l ratio, as in Mr. Gray’s wounds, he said, “but the three-times-larger exit wound would be a ‘blowout,’ not a slit as described.” “This is based on your opinion,” Mr. Luke asked, “not your training?” “Yes,” CPO Byrd replied. In response to a question from Mr. Fletcher, on re-direct examination, CPO Byrd said that, for the bullet to travel in a uniform path, it must have retained its shape. “If it were deformed — by passage through a deer — it would not travel in a straight line.” Judge Foley interceded to direct that the testimony be refocused. “The court has done enough hunting with similar rounds to be familiar with entrance and exit wounds. The court is familiar with a situation where a round passed through two deer, killed both and kept going.” Mr. Selvage’s son Fred, a registered nurse, took the stand to testify that when bodies are turned over after death, the leg or arm on the side toward which they are turned will always stay on top. Sam Shafer, Mr. Selvage’s hunting partner on the day of the shooting, said that he heard two shots during the afternoon, one about 3:30, then another just before 5 p.m. He said that he was on the other side of the mountain, and could not tell exactly where the shots came from, but that the direction was toward Rt. 620, the side of the mountain where the other hunters were located. He said that Mr. Selvage is “a smart hunter — he knows the woods better than anyone I know. He always expresses safety to me. He is an excellent shot — nine out of 10 times he hits what he shoots at.” Mr. Selvage then took the stand in his own defense. Describing,himself as a retired American Airlines mechanic, he said that he has hunted for more than 40 years without an accident. He said that he and Mr. Shafer had hunted on the mountain that morning, left to eat lunch and then returned; that he had nodded off at his tree stand until he was awakened by what he thought was a gunshot about 3:30. He said that he had not seen anyone else on the mountain until he met Mr. Price on the trail. Believing himself to be the only person to whom Mr. Miller had given permission to hunt, he said he asked to see Mr. Price’s permit. After examining it, he said the two talked for a moment, until Mr. Price said that he heard a sound and said, “You go up, 111 go down.” Mr. Selvage said he started up the trail, looking up the mountain, then saw a deer moving from left to right through the underbrush. He stood up in the witness box, his arms held and head cocked as though he were sighting a rifle. “I waited until he cleared the brush, into the opening — then ‘Boom!’ — the deer staggered, he definitely staggered. Because of the recoil I lost the deer in my sight. I chambered another round — I didn’t hear anything — I knew the deer was right there. Then I stooped and picked up the empty cartridge off the trail.” “I told Jim Bankston that I fired from the trail — the exact same spot that I showed you today. He said “Why did you change your story?’ I said ‘I know where I shot from. You didn’t get here ’til after dark’.” He added, in a low voice, that when he talked to Warden Bankston, events were not clear in his mind. “I thought for a minute I might have shot that man. I was very upset about it.” “I could clearly see the deer,” he insisted. “I could clearly see behind the deer.” uiu you see anyxrung resemDung a man? Mr. Fletcher asked. “No.” “Did Mr. Price say anything about anyone else being on the mountain?” “No. He said he was hunting with his son-in-law or something — but they were at the truck and he was headed there ... I saw no one except Sam Shafer until I met Mr. Price.” Mr. Fletcher asked Mr. Selvage to describe what happened as he went up the hill after the deer. He replied that he reached the spot where he thought the deer fell and found nothing. “I saw something further up the hill, something reddish brown. I ran up the hill — saw a boot — then ...” His face registering the shock as he recalled the scene, Mr. Selvage said, “Bam! Oh, my God! I first thought the man was asleep. I hollered, ‘Hey!’ I nudged the boot with my foot. Oh, my God, I hollered ‘Somebody’s hurt, come up quick!’.” Mr. Selvage said Mr. Price came up the hill and he asked if he knew the man. Mr. Price replied, “My God, it’s my son-in-law.” He added that they saw no blood, but when he felt for a pulse he found none. “His wrist was kind of cool — there was no heat from the body.” He said that he didn’t realize that the man had been shot until they opened his coat and saw blood. “Before that I thought he had had a heart attack.” When Mr. Knott arrived, Mr. Selvage said he asked him what he thought was wrong. Mr. Knott replied that it wasn’t a heart attack — he was only 28. Mr. Knott added, Mr. Selvage said, “I’ll tell you this, he was one mean SOB.” “What do you mean?” Mr. Selvage said he asked. “When he was drinking,” he said Mr. Knott answered. “When did you say you shot that man?” Mr. Fletcher asked. “I made the statement, ‘Don’t tell me I shot that man’,” Mr. Selvage replied, “when one of. the rescue squad members found the bullet wound.” Before that, he insisted, he thought the man had a heart attack, adding that one of the police officers at the scene had said the same thing. Mr. Luke asked Mr. Selvage, on cross-examination, “Why did you think you shot the man?” “Mr. Luke,” he replied, “when you shoot in an area it could cause a gunshot wound in a body. Certainly, I shot at a deer in the same area — off to the right from the body — not in the same direction.” Mr. Luke also pursued the alleged discrepancy between the two pine trees pointed out to Warden Bankston on the night of the shooting and the next day. Mr. Selvage said as he sighted through the scope, with the crosshairs on the deer, a pine tree next to a blazed oak was in the left quadrant of the scope. “Warden Bankston could have been mistaken — he got there after dark.” “How far will that bullet travel?” Mr. Luke asked. “About four miles.” “So you must know what is on the other side?” “Not this time,” Mr. Selvage replied. “I was shooting into the mountain.” ur you couia snoot into someone,” Mr. Luke retorted. “That would stop it.” What about Mr. Shafer, the Commonwealth’s Attorney asked. “Shooting without knowing where he is?” “I knew Sam was on his stand,” Mr. Selvage said. “I know I would have seen a man behind the deer.” “You didn’t see Mr. Gray,” Mr. Luke pointed out. “No, but he might have been laying down.” “Apparently, he was there,” Mr. Luke insisted. “Apparently,” Mr. Selvage said. “You are denying the testimony of two witnesses who say you told them you shot a man?” Mr. Luke questioned. “I did not say that.” “Jim Bankston said you told him ‘Why me . . . Why me?’ Did you say that?” “No, I didn’t.” Under re-direct examination by Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Selvage said that his concern about possibly having shot Mr. Gray stemmed from having shot in that general direction. “I was upset a great deal,” by the accident. “I have cried a few times .. . I’m not sure” what happened that evening, he admitted. “I was so shook up. I haven’t fired a rifle since.” In closing arguments, Mr. Luke interpreted the reckless handling of a firearm statute to mean in such a way as to endanger the life, limb or property of another. “The burden of proof is on the Commonwealth to prove that the defendant shot Mr. 3ray, because he handled a firearm recklessly.” mr. race, ne saia, oDservea Mr. Selvage shoot up the mountain, go directly up and find Mr. Gray’s body, and exclaim ‘Oh, my God, I’ve shot a man.’ Mr. Knott testified that Mr. Selvage told him that he might have shot him. Jim Bankston said he asked, ‘Why me?’. And the defendant was candid on the stand: he thought that he shot the man.” “The unfortunate truth,” Mr. Luke continued, “the Commonwealth believes in this case, is that he did shoot the man. There are no other circumstances which fit.” “If there had been any great culpability, the charge would have been manslaughter ... It was dusk . . . Mr. Price testified that he put his gun up, but there wasn’t enough sight to fire — it’s unfortunate that Mr. Selvage did not show the same judgement . . . He knew his round could travel miles; he knew he couldn’t tell what was behind him. “Mr. Gray was shot by accident —a reckless accident. . . he’d be alive today if Mr. Selvage had not squeezed off a round at dusk.” Addressing the testimony of the defense’s expert witnesses, Mr. Luke said, “I’m not sure what it proves ... no one can say what happened to that bullet.” The powder residue, he said, “is unusual, rare to see at such a distance — but not impossible.” “Is it reckless,” he concluded, “to go out under these circumstances and fire a shot, not knowing the background? You can’t take a life and come in and say ‘I didn’t know he was back there.’ I feel sorry -r- I think if he had it to do over — he would not pull the trigger.” Mr. Fletcher concentrated his closing argument on the questions raised by the expert testimony, adding, “I’ve not many disagreements with Mr. Luke.” Jim Bankston, he pointed out, had to get down almost on his knees to see Mr. Selvage when he was < standing on the trail and Mr. Selvage was behind the tree where Mr. Gray’s body was found. The experts, he said, found no trauma to the internal organs consistent with the mutilation which would be expected with a high-velocity round such as the one Mr. Selvage fired. “And I can’t get beyond the question of how the powder — which was readily discernible — got into the wound.” “If he was shot,” Mr. Fletcher concluded, “it was by someone who walked up next to him and pulled the trigger . . . the court didn’t get into Ricky Doyle Gray’s reputation in Page County . . . The only reasonable way — was that somebody walked up and popped him with a pistol or a low-velocity rifle. “The shame is that officials saw an incident, took the circumstantial evidence and brought a charge based on that... Jim Bankston was doing his job “I can’t get over the hard evidence: the heavy, mushroom bullet, no evidence of mutilation of organs, a sht exit wound . . . There are so many possibilities about what happened that would be consistent with the powder evidence — all are inconsistent with Jim Selvage shooting Ricky Doyle Gray. “He stated that he felt the arm, it was cool — sure, it’s not much. Nobody could explain why Mr. Price didn’t hear the first shot . . . something woke Jim Selvage up about 3:30 . . . Sam Shafer heard another shot — he couldn’t tell the calibre. “This was not reckless shooting —this was a suicide or a murder.” It’s too bad the clothes weren’t tested, Mr. Fletcher said. “I don’t know what happened . . . but there has been enough evidence that it was not Mr. Selvage.” “Look at the gun,” Mr. Luke retorted. “A suicide would stretch the imagination beyond credibility.” And a murder would have required someone “by coincidence” to have sneaked up and shot him while he was hunting — alert for movements and sounds. “There is no other reasonable hypothesis to explain it other than he was shot by the defendant.” Following Mr. Luke’s argument, Judge Foley pronounced his finding in the case. “The reckless discharge of a firearm, is not murder or manslaughter - the crime is the same if the victim died or is merely wounded. The dif- j ference in the case is the emotions ’ because Ricky Doyle Gray is deceased. “It is the court’s job to sift through the facts presented - to determine if the Commonwealth has proved its case . . . beyond a reasonable doubt -- not beyond all imaginable doubt. This is a criminal case, not a civil case ... the burden of proof is hard ... the Commonwealth’s burden ... deals with criminal intent. . . intent can be implied from the act.” An analogy to recklessness in the discharge of a firearm, Judge Foley said, can be made to reckless driving; “a total and callous disregard for the consequences of actions.” Judge Foley said that he saw no great inconsistencies in any of the testimony presented. “The question is were the circumstances reckless?” and whether a deer was involved. “That’s the key to the Case. Mr. Price testified to the presence of a deer.” That’s why, the judge explained, that he looked through Mr. Selvage’s scope himself; judging the distance to a pine tree near the courthouse, which was visible through the window. “There is no question that the maximum distance was 200 feet - less than 100 yards ... the deceased was dressed in blue ... if (Mr. Doyle) had been in the line of the scope at any time, he would have been easily visible hyo.” Although it is generally necessary to determine whether there is anyone else in the area, Judge Foley noted that Mr. Selvage had no reason to believe that there was anyone near where he was shooting. Prior to meeting Mr. Price, he believed that and Mr. Shafer were the only hunters on the mountain; Mr. Price had told him the rest of his party had already returned to their truck. Also, Judge Foley observed, Mr. Selvage was shooting uphill - into the mountain — a far less dangerous shot than downhill where the bullet would travel a considerable distance. “There have been interesting arguments: the lack of trauma to the body ... the powder found in the wound ... the deer blood found in the area ... it is fascinating ... a question of reasonable doubt.” After hearing the testimony Judge Foley concluded, “the court cannot be convinced that the de- ' fendant recklessly discharged a firearm. The case was well-argued by both sides . . . the defendant is not guilty of violating this statute. . A happy group of Mr. Selvage’s relatives, who had sat quietly throughout the trial, surrounded him following Judge Foley’s finding They embraced him and congratulated Mr. Fletcher, and several - including Mr. Selvage - wiped tears from their eyes.

In loving memory of Charles Edward HunfnWfffr''pte§eti ‘fsway, December 19,1986. We think of you in silence And make no outward show, But what it meant to lose you, No one will ever know. You wished no one a last farewell, Nor even said goodbye; You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why. Your golden heart stopped beating, Your tender hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. If stairs were made from heartaches, And adding teardrops too, We'd build a stairway to Heaven and climb each day to you. So looking back in tenderness Along the path we've trod, We cherish all the years we spent with you And leave the rest to God. We miss you so much, Your loving wife, children and grandchildren IN LOVING MEMORY of Jackie Holland who left this world September 30,1984. Mother, I miss you more everyday and especially at this time of year. You are always with me and I know you know how much I miss and love you. I will always cherish your love and memory and I know deep within my heart we'll meet again one day. Love you always, Happy Mother's Day Your daughter, Lisa Burke In Memorian In loving memory of Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother, Alice May Tharp, who passed away nine years ago, May 12,1978. Nine years ago Mother that you left us, All so broken hearted and in despair. The Lord only knows how much we've missed you, And pray to meet you there. Silent thoughts bring many a tear, For the one we miss and loved so dear. But in that land there will be not a tear, To dim the eye and thank God we're here, To live together with you Mom in the sky, As ages roll on and time goes by. Deep in our hearts a memory is kept, Of you we've missed, and never shall forget. So Mom we would like to remember you on This special day and to say, "Happy Mother’s Day,", Since you are away. Sadly missed by The Tharp Family In memory of Bertie Atkins for Mother's Day. My Darling Mom, this will be your third Mother's Day in your new home up above. I miss you so very much, but I'll bet ft's really wonderful seeing Jesus everyday. You were the mother of ten children, and may I add, one of the most fovirtg, understanding, patient mothers that God ever sent to this earth. I've heard you say so many times, ‘My kids are all I live for." Well Mom, I really believe that was true. For the love you had for us was a true and everlasting love. And even though you’ve been gone for a long time now, your love is still here, warming our hearts and guiding us each day. Thank you, Mom for taking the responsibility of motherhood so seriously. Thank you for always being there when we needed you. Thank you for the comfort and support you gave us, always at the right time. Thank you for always knowing just what to say. Thank you for the love you had for us all. And most of all, thank you, God for giving us such a truly special person to call Mom. Happy Mother's Day in Heaven.

Migrant camp man of the Board of Supervisors, questioned whether the restriction to 10 months, “just because somebody else doesn’t like to have (migrant workers) around,” would be a trade restraint. Saying that he’d worked in the apple business in a managerial role since 1946, Carson Johnson recalled the ‘40s and ‘50s when “all you had to do was shake the bushes and people came from everywhere to work” in the orchards. But since the 1960s, there’s been no way to get orchard work done “without bringing in labor from somewhere else ... because it wasn’t here in the county to get,” he said. Representing the Sharps, attorney Douglas Baumgardner maintained that issuance of the special exception permit would be in accord with the comprehensive plan’s goals of protecting the county’s agricultural industry and its agricultural land base. He said that the Harris Hollow area has long been involved in apple production, with migrant workers regularly housed in the hollow. Accordingly, the expanded migrant camp does not pose a conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood, Mr. Baumgardner said. Gorfeins not opposed Stressing that the Gorfeins are not opposed to issuance of a permit for a migrant camp, attorney Frank Reynolds said his clients want only restrictions that will control the detrimental aspects of this land use. But before addressing the proposed restrictions, he raised what he described as “the specter of conflict of interest.” Mr. Reynolds maintained that any board member who has financial dealings with the Sharps relating to the orchard business would be affected by the decision on the special exception permit and should therefore disqualify himself from taking part. “Lane Industries does lease a small block of orchards to Alex,” replied Supervisor Nelson Lane. The potential for conflict of interest posed by this arrangement “never occurred to me,” he added. Mr. Sharp interjected that, at this time, the rental contract for the Lane orchard has not yet been renewed. Mr. Reynolds still contended that the transaction created a conflict and that the Stonewall-Hawthorne representative should disqualify himself. Then turning to the issue of the permit itself, Mr. Reynolds reminded the supervisors that the new zoning ordinance adopted in December changed the definition of seasonal migrant labor camp to adult labor camp. State and federal regulations which come into play at the 10-worker threshold are exhaustive, yet make no mention of provisions for heat, he pointed out. Recalling the history of the facility, he said that the camp was initially authorized with a special use permit in 1984 on the 225-acre Mountain Green Farm. The permit was for a 10-worker maximum, although the facility was built for 16. It made no provision for access, he said, because the camp was on a 225-acre farm. (The following year, 30 acres with the migrant labor camp was subdivided from George and Sally Sharp’s Mountain Green Farm and transferred to Alex and Roseanne Sharp.) The dormitory itself has no heat, no insulation and the sewage permit granted by the Health Department indicates that the facility will be used for only three months of the year, Mr. Reynolds said. With a year-round camp, the Sharps will be “importing labor that can do nothing but take jobs away from local people,” the attorney continued. “I don’t agree that you can’t get people to work in this county. I don’t agree at all,” he said, adding that substandard wages brought on the scarcity of local labor for farms and orchards. Ticking off the different corporations formed by the Sharp family, he asked who actually is renting the 400 acres of orchards which Alex and Roseanne manage. “Where is the liability? Who will the county look to ... Who else is involved in this?” He maintained that the camp could be transferred “to a corporate management company with no ties to Rappahannock County that would pay people the least amount of money it could and take as much as it could, skimming the orchards. ” According to Mr. Reynolds, migrant workers in Rappahannock have violated game laws and discharged firearms. “There have been problems with stealing,” he charged. Is a camp “more important than the people who are living in Harris Hollow?” he asked, describing the character of the neighborhood as “low density, large lot residential.” In closing, he noted that the ordinance requires that an application for a special exception permit be complete before it can be considered. Without showing access or parking, the Sharps’ application is deficient, Mr. Reynolds concluded. “Doesn’t the property actually front on Route 622?” asked Supervisor Newbill Miller. “It does now,” Mr. Reynolds answered. Then no additional right-of-way is needed if the property extends to the state road, interjected Supervisor Charles Estes. As part of the permit process, the board can stipulate exactly where an access road must go, Mr. Reynolds explained, noting that the route through Mountain Green now used is just a line on the map and not a deeded right-of-way. By directing the placement of access, the board could lessen impact on the Gorfeins, he added, calling for deeded access through the Sharps’ farm. Henry Gorfein insisted that the site plan should show access to the labor camp. “A road coming in next to me is not a satisfactory compromise ... I can’t accept that.” He contended that an expanded labor camp next door would lower his property value, adding that the dormitory complex is just 190 paces from his property line and 250 paces from his house. Mr. (jrortem said he would “rather have families next door . . . It’s transients I’m opposed to, no matter what their nationality.” He argued that the supervisors would be lending their weight to substandard housing by allowing the camp to be used in winter months, noting that workers would have to go outdoors during February to reach bathroom facilities in a separate building. Robert Eastham called on the supervisors to determine whether Mr. Reynolds was right in saying that orchard ists want “dirt cheap migrant labor” to avoid paying a decent wage to local workers. Miles Clark, who lives above the Gorfeins, said he also opposes the camp expansion for the same reasons cited by Mr. Reynolds. Mr. McCarthy read into the record a letter from Harris Hollow landowner Patrick Crowley, who maintained that a temporary work force during harvest season is “all that’s called for” and charged that a year-round facility would threaten his privacy. “The issue is housing,” insisted Meredith Gorfein, saying she and her husband have no objection to the use of the camp during harvest season. “But the use changes when it becomes year round ... As far as we’re concerned, 10 months is year round.” Big labor camps in Frederick and Clarke counties, which produce 50 percent of the state’s apples, close after harvest season, she said. Then pruning and thinning crews are housed elsewhere, as has been the case in Rappahannock, Mrs. Gorfein added. “Existing housing is here. It always has been.” The migrant workers who will stay over at the Sharps’ camp in the off-season Approximately 150 wooded acres in Huntly, frontage on 522, stream thru property plus springs. Fine views. This parcel can be divided into 3 tracts. $164,500. 4 plus acres in shadow of National Park with excellent view and large trees. $14,500. 50 plus or minus rough and ready acres on mountain top joining Park. 2 waterfalls, 2 bedroom cabin with possibly best view in county.

Reading from a front page story on the cocaine ring broken up at a migrant camp in Winchester, she said, “This is what we’re worried about.” “Rappahannock County has changed. Harris Hollow has changed,” Mrs. Gorfein continued. The area’s predominant character is not agricultural or horticultural but “large lot subdivision farmettes,” she said. “All the migrant workers in the world are not going to restore Rappahannock’s orchards,” she told the supervisors, countering the argument that issuance of the special exception permit will aid agriculture. Disputing Mr. Baumgardner’s contention, she maintained that the Sharps’ proposal violates both the county’s comprehensive plan and its zoning ordinance. one cauea tne request ior an expanded camp discrimination “in its most insidious form, based on the notion that the people to be housed there are somehow different from you and me ... that they don’t need their families and don’t want to make families.” Only two types of men, priests and' homosexuals, would want this segregated existence, Mrs. Gorfein said. “This is not a Boy Scout camp . . . For us to assume that migrant workers don’t want their families is absurd . . .

He repeated charges that the facility itself is not suitable for winter habitation. “People shouldn’t be put in substandard housing. And they certainly shouldn’t be put in substandard housing next door to me!” Doris Thomas interjected that she and her husband, like many Rappahannock residents, lived for two years in a house without hot water or indoor bathroom facilities. “I didn’t see anyone saying, ‘Hey, would you like some money to put in a bathroom?’ ” Mrs. Thomas, who has worked for two years for the Sharps, said she’d tried to interest friends and relatives in taking orchard jobs. “They said they’d rather be on welfare than work for that little bit of money.” Site plan complete Asked for a ruling, zoning administrator John McCarthy advised the board that the Sharps’ application for the special exception permit is complete. The various documents they have submitted, including a plat and site plan, show boundary, right-of-way by a farm road through Mountain Green Farm and road frontage, he said. The ordinance does not require that the right-ofway be deeded and does not require parking provisions for farm uses, the zoning administrator told the supervisors. The issue of need for off-season migrant housing is not relevant, he continued. The board is not called upon to make a finding of need, but whether the site is suitable for the use sought in a special exception JUST REDUCED!!!

Did it come from God? Is there any sickness in heaven? The Bible says in James Chap. 1 verse 17 that every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of lights. Jesus said He is the light. So only good things come from God. Jesus taught us to pray in The Lord’s Prayer “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven;” there is joy, peace and happiness in heaven, God is not sick, nor has He ever been sick. He wants it to be as it is in heaven here on earth) Ill UOI >0919 U Idfr. I VJUU IIIQUO the earth and he saw that it was good (vs. 25). Sin and sickness were not a part of this earth until Adam fell and disobeyed God. (Eve was actually the one who was deceived, but Adam ate also of the forbidden fruit). Adam had dominion over the earth because God gave him dominion, when He formed him. When Adam fell he gave his dominion or authority to Satan, the one who tricked Eve. 2 Corinthians 4:4, Paul calls Satan the god of this world. (Donl be afraid to talk about Satan, he is your enemy and he will destroy you if you let him). When he became the god of this world (notice, he is not God but he is the god of this world) he brought sin and sickness with him. Jesus said in John 10:10 that Satan was a theif and comes to kill, steal and destroy, but Jesus came to give us life more abundantly! Acts 10:38 says God anointed Jesus and He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil. God sent His son to redeem us all from the curse of sin, sickness and poverty. When Adam transgressed man became spiritually dead, but now we can be spiritually alive by accepting all Jesus has done for us. 1 John 3:8 says. He that commits sin is of the devil for the devil sinned from the beginning. But Jesus was manifested so He could destroy the works of the devil. If you are not a child of God, ask Jesus in your heart, confess Him as your saviour, He will give you a new life, He will restore your health and give you peace. Next week: If Jesus is the healer, why are some of his people sick? permit, he said. As to the charge that the migrant dormitory is substandard for winter use, Mr. McCarthy questioned the board’s authority to impose retroactive conditions more stringent than the Health Department’s. That agency has already found the camp accommodations to be suitable under federal and state regulations, he said. “You think the site plan’s sufficient?” asked Supervisor Newbill Miller. “Yes, sir — once the access is agreed upon,” the zoning administrator replied. “You will see that it runs near the Gorfeins’ property line,” he pointed out, in reference to the alternate access route provided by Mr. Sharp. Reviewing the conditions recommended by the planning commission, the board specified that maximum capacity would be 16 dining the harvest season, beginning Aug. 1 and continuing to no later than Dec. 1, with the camp to close for two months following the harvest. At Supervisor Estes’ suggestion, the board upped the maximum to 11 for the remainder of the off-season, with the intention of requiring the Health Department’s oversight role and biweekly inspections to continue through that period. Laborers housed in the camp must be adults and must be employed on land owned or rented by the Sharps. In addition, the board specified that the permit is valid only while the camp is owned by the Sharps or by trustees named for the purposes of securing a loan on the property. Upping the allowable capacity to 11 won’t necessarily ensure continued inspections by the Health Department if fewer than that number are actually housed at the camp in the off-season. The board's intent is to eliminate the possibility of substandard hous^ing, Mr. Estes replied. “They should be provided with heat and lights ... and the necessary conveniences,” he said. “There’s only a half-inch of plyboard between that man and the outside world . . . That could be a disaster in February and March.” With the added conditions and with Supervisor Lane abstaining on conflict of interest grounds, the supervisors voted unanimously to issue the special exception permit. Other permits granted at Monday’s board meeting drew less attention. With no one speaking in opposition at the advertised public hearings and with recommendations from the planning commission for approval, the supervisors unanimously approved special exceptions for • Dr. Werner Krebser to resubdivide two lots at the intersection of Routes 522 and 662 into three lots all over 24.5 acres, provided that existing housing density is not exceeded. • Bruce Vierling to subdivide nine acres from his family’s 325-acre contiguous holding near the village of Flint Hill, with the understanding that the subdivision will affect the density allowed on the balance of the property.
