nored by the landowner. After a suit was filed Judge W. Shore Robertson ruled in favor of the town, and the fence came down.

9. The weather: Always a topic of conversation in areas where livelihoods can be lost with one hailstorm, the weather once again proved infuriating in 1987.
The year began with plenty — more than plenty — of snow, with three major snowstorms between January and March. Two of the storms, just one week apart, dumped more than two feet on Rappahannock.
Spring’s rains added plenty of moisture to the total, but the summer brought nothing but hot sun and parching breezes. It was the reverse of 1986, when there was little rain through the spring and downpours all summer.
The drought ended in spectacular fashion just after Labor Day, with the first day of school dismissed early when a downpour threatened to flood low-lying roads. Fall brought more rain, an early-season snow, and still more rain during December.
When predictions for 1988 were sought, not a meteorologist could be found.
10. Game violators: Rappahannock made the national press when the Virginia Game Commission put on a sting operation last year using a stuffed deer named “Sucker.” More than 20 roadhunters were caught in the operation, which was captured on videotape by the enforcement division’s chief, Col. Gerald Simmons. Most pleaded guilty to the charges, and those who contested them found an unsympathetic ear in Judge Charles Foley, who levied stiff fines on the violators.
