APRIL 14, 1988 Washington, Virginia ST^fffeone 673-3349 25 Cents -----——HeflAfty—Hostages safe,kidnapper dead By LOU HATTER v Rappahannock News Staff Writer “ ' A five-day manhunt for a kidnapper and his two hostages in Old Hollow, just east of Sperryville, ended in death Sunday afternoon. Charles Anthony Leaf II was _fel|ed byta single shot from an FBI sniper’s rifle as he -made his; way, with his hostages, to an FBI helicopter 'w.hiicta he believed was to fly him out of the area. I Leafs two hostages, his estranged common-law wife ^Cheryl Hart, 27, and his 3-year-old son Charles A. Leaf dll, were not injured. Both were taken to the Culpeper ^Memorial Hospital, where Ms. Hart w-as being treated -for a broken nose, suffered when Leaf assaulted her. Her face showed faint bruises from a past beating, -hut otherwise she appeared healthy as she walked from Ihe fire hall to the ambulance. The young boy was re3>orted to be in good condition and uninjured. *■ Immediately after the shooting, a State Police med-evac helicopter hovering just out of sight landed in the Afield near where the kidnapper lay, and paramedics and -members of several Rappahannock County rescue squads “began treating Leaf for a single bullet wound in the head. ; Within two minutes he was aboard the helicopter 'and en route to University of Virginia Medical Center in ^Charlottesville. The paramedics on board lost his vital -signs in flight and the 30-year old man was pronounced ilead at the hospital. ■Kidnapped in Connecticut ^ The ordeal began when Leaf, Ms. Hart’s former common-law husband, kidnapped her and their son sometime during the night of March 31 .from their home in i Trumbull, ; Comt | ; . H r brother-in-law reported her missing after she ■ failecf > arrive for Easter Sunday dinner. According to Trunjfc ill Police Department Captain Fred Nacovitch, officer^ ant to her parents’ house, where she was living . with Ji r son. They found the telephone wire cut at the ‘ junctwh-box outside and several rounds of live 9mm am; munition on the garage floor. Once inside they found her ; bedroom door kicked open and signs of a struggle. Interviews with Leafs friends indicated that he had not been seen, and Capt. Nacovitch said that Leafs past history of violence and threats against Ms. Hart made the ' investigators suspect a kidnapping. By Tuesday, April 5, enough evidence had been gathered to charge Leaf with two counts of kidnapping and burglary for the entry of the house. A federal magistrate in New Haven, Conn, issued a £rderal warrant charging Leaf with unlawful flight to -void prosecution. According to Kevin August, an FBI agent in Richmond, after 24 hours a kidnapping suspect is assumed to have crossed state lines, which allows the FBI to enter the case and treat it as a federal offense. Car found abandoned No trace of the three was uncovered until last weekend, when Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department Lt. Jeff Brown found a green 1973 Chevrolet Nova abandoned on Rt. 612 in Old Hollow. The car had no license plates and the vehicle identification number, a metal plate affixed to the dashboard, had been pryed off. He searched the car and found several papers with Charles Leafs name on them, including a receipt for the purchase of a Marlin 9mm carbine from a gun shop in Fairfield, Conn. The date on the sales slip was March 31. Leaf had used his own name but had falsified the slip with the address of his employer to buy the gun. Fairfield police referred the case to Capt. Nacovitch in nearby Trumbull. Lt. Brown said that clothes were found in the trunk which were later identified as belonging to the Leafs’ son by the boy’s grandparents. Other evidence Lt. Brown found in the car also convinced Capt. Nacovitch that Ms. Hart’was still alive when the car was abandoned in Old Hollow. AFTER LOSING THE TRAIL near a hunting cabin in Old Hollow, members discuss their next move. Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter State Police tactical team Lit. Brown requested assistance from the Virginia State Police in tracing the vehicle, and by Tuesday investigators had established that the car was registered in the name of Leafs pretent girlfriend. She wjs interviewed by authorities in Connecticut, and told them that Leaf had made repeated threats to kill Ms. Hart. Capt. Nacovitch said that the police were also told that he planned to take the boy and go north to Vermont, and “not make the same mistake he had made last time” by staying in Connecticut. She also said that he had taken the car, telling her he was going to the store, but had not returned. A history of terror Further interviews with family members established that Ms. Hart had ended their common-law marriage about V/2 years ago, and had been given custody of their son. Leaf was angered by the split, and harassed and threatened Ms. Hart, her mother and stepfather. In March, 1987, he abducted the boy and was charged with kidnapping. In April, 1987, w ith the kidnapping unsolved and the boy still missing, Leaf abducted Ms. Hart as she left work, and pistol-whipped her until she agreed to drop the kidnapping charge. She required hospital treatment for her injuries. The charge, however, was not dropped by the police department in Trumbull. Leaf, who still had the boy, continued to threaten Ms. Hart and her family, demanding custody of the boy See ORDEAL, p. 10 Photo courtesy FBI Charles Anthony Leaf II with his son, Charles III. Police have edge if hostages taken By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer When last week’s manhunt for Charles A. Leaf II became a barricade and hostage situation, the table was turned on the kidnapper. As long as he was at large, with authorities unsure of where he was, he had the upper hand. When he was located and isolated on the second floor of a vacant farmhouse, it became only a question of time. The Virginia State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation both have specially trained personnel to deal with such situations, including tactical teams with sophisticated radio equipment, night-vision glasses and sniper-scopes which illuminate their target even in the pitch-black of midnight. The FBI’s tactical teams include some members with advanced medical training, and one of its four-wheel drive vehicles is equipped as a backcountry ambulance. The Bureau’s Hostage Rescue Team, stationed at . Quantico Marine Base, w hich supported the FBI negotiator last w eekend was the same team w hich flew to Marion, Utah during the winter when a fanatical fundamentalist Mormon family holed up in a farmhouse. They negotiated for more than a week before the family finally gave up. After Leaf confronted the officers inside the house and retreated back into the upstairs, the team secured the first floor to prevent him from moving down the stairway from the second floor. Another team took protected positions around the house where they could observe the entire structure. Their job was to keep him from getting out a window, onto a lower roof and away. A member of the state police task force explained that the technique used is a four-perimeter system of control. In terms of concentric circles, the team downstairs, inside, was the innermost ring of the four. The team surrounding the house made up the second ring. A third perimeter was established near the end of the farmhouse’s driveway, just off Rt. 612. That was the location of the forward command ]>ost. It also served as a " staging area for replacement agents and negotiators, and had constant contact with both the house, the main command post at the Sperryville fire hall and the troopers and agents stationed throughout the area. A fourth perimeter was formed by the state troopers who blockaded the three roads leading into the hollow. Although their main function was to keep curious onlookers away, that served to heighten the sense of isolation felt by Leaf. He never saw or heard anything that the negotiators and tactical teams didn’t want him to see. “You can’t let the individual assume any control,” said Kevin August, an FBI agent at the Richmond office. Kidnappings and hostage situations fall into two broad categories, Mr. August said. All, he said, are “very serious, volitile situations.” The first is an abduction where the hostages are used as levers to have demands met, such as a prison riot where they serve as bargaining chips, or where the demand is for money. The second, and more dangerous kind, Mr. Augm said, is those kidnappers who have a “death wish, though perhaps it is only subconscious. “They create a situation where they know that they will die. They are not asking for anything —they are inadvertently commitSee HOSTAGES, p. 11 ■ ; Old Rag Bulletins & . /•• • • .

Both sides are vocal at Culpeper road hearing By BURKE DAVIS III Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer , Opponents to the four-laning of Rt 211 between Washington, Va. and Sperryville took their case straight to the top at a public hearing conducted by the Virginia Department of Transportation Monday in Culpeper. Commissioner Ray Pethtel and other highway officials listened intently as many of the 34 opponents present argued against the improvements. For the most part,' they reiterated the position they took at a supervisors meeting a week ago. The group of concerned citizens offered a petition signed by 530 county residents, including most members of the Washington Town Council, former U. S. Senator Eugene McCarthy, and many of Rappahannock’s oldest families. "The only group we don’t represent is the board of supervisors,” said activist Stella Cadwalader to general laughter. Proponents of the dual lanes also offered a petition, signed by some 200 supporters. Attorney Franklin B. Reynolds, speaking on behalf of the opponents, said that the decision to improve the highway was made in the 1960s, and that the facts have changed since then. The original intent was to tie Washington to Interstate 81, and provide easy access to Shenendoah National Park. But entrances to the park via Rt. 211 have declined in recent years, he said, because travellers use Interstate 66 to approach the park from the north. Other projections, opponents say, “have not panned out.” According to Ms. Cadwalader, “There has not been a single new business on Rt. 211.” “Rappahannock is a jewel in Virginia’s crown,” Ms. Cadwalader said. “We don’t want to encourage development.” Mary Jamieson echoed Ms. Cadwalader. After travelling all over the United States, including the Grand Tetons and other celebrated sites of spectacular scenery, “When I returned to Rappahannock I found as much beauty here as anywhere.” That beauty, she said, is a valuable asset to the nation as a whole, and should be preserved . “We should not introduce any threats — such as fourlaning that would encourage development.” One woman put the effect fourlaning could have on development colorfully: “People are like rats — they tend to follow broad paths.” Ulrich Maeyer pointed out that the petition boasted enough names to elect two supervisors in the county. “They should listen, because we have support.” Some opponents have said they feel that four the suSee HEARING, p. 14 Rappahannock News file photo LAST YEAR’S WINNERS of the Fodderstack Classic.

Closed Sundays • Phone (703) 869-4859 School enrollment higher than estimates March 31 brought more to Rappahannock County than unseasonably warm temperatures and a breath of spring: it brought a public school enrollment reading higher than the state’s Department of Education or even Superintendent David Gangel had anticipated and consequently more money for the county's school coffers. Rappahannock receives about $950 per student in basic aid from the state. Richmond foresaw an average daily membership of 881 for 1987-88, but on March 31, that fiscal red-letter day when the offical tabulation is taken, ADM here stood at 937, according to Dr. Gangel. “We did our own calculations last Friday and then we triple-checked again Monday,” he said. The superintendent noted that ADM is higher than the conservative estimate of 931 he took to the Board of Supervisors last December. Anticipating the additional state revenue which that reversal of the 10 year downward enrollment trend was to bring, the Supervisors acceeded to the School Board’s request for a supplemental appropriation of $46,000 for the Rappahannock County High School expansion. (Last year’s low bid for the long awaited construction project came in $168,000 over the $1.5 million low-interest literary loan awarded by the state for the work. Contract modifications and deletions reduced the short- • fall to $46,000 plus the cost of I fixed furnishings, which are ineb. igible for literary loan financing, and the School Board opted to; proceed, expecting the deficit; would be made up from private donations or other sources.) The $46,000 already “ad-:; vanced” by the Supervisors cov-G ers the cost of bleachers for the: new gymnasium and seating fori the new auditorium. According;'to Dr. Gangel, December’s sup-; plemental appropriation still;: leaves the project about $12,000 short, but the final ADM, with six more students than projected, will bring in at least half of that amount. The total state, bonus for the higher enrollment should be at least $53,200 and may run as high as $60,000. Dr. Gangel said that th^ School Board will ask the Super*! visors for authorization to camover any unexpended money from the current budget to cover the remainder of the shortfall. • Traditionally, anything unspent as of June 30, as well as education revenue from the state for the 1987-88 year received after that date, has gone into the county’s general fund. “I’m confident now that we can finish the high school expansion with this year’s money, provided the Supervisors let us have those end-of-year funds," Dr. Gangel said. Bereavement workshop scheduled by Hospice The loss of some one we love is just that: a loss. Grief is the word we use to explain the emotional response to that loss. However, one word is simply not enough to understand the whole emotional process that takes place, said Tina Weaver, Director of the Hospice of the Rapidan. As part of serving the community, Hospice of the Rapidan is sponsoring a grief support group called “Working Through Grief’ for all interested persons who have experienced loss and wish to understand what they are experiencing and to learn ways to share and cope. The group will meet for six weeks on Thursday mornings from 10-11:30 a.m. at the Hospice office. 126 South Main Street, Culpeper be ginning May 12 through June 16, Marge Hall, hospice bereavement specialist, will lead the group. ^ There is no charge for the group. Enrollment is limited. Anyone interested in attending these group meet1 ings should contact the Hospice office at 825-4840. Public Hearing The Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County will hold a public hearing on Monday, May 2, at 7:00 p.m. at the Courthouse in Washington, Virginia to consider an ordinance creating a deferred compensation plan for Rappahannock County employees. Said plan will enable the County to provide retirement security for its employees, to increase flexibility in its personnel management system, and to assist in the attraction and retention of competent personnel, all at no cost to the taxpayer. A copy of the ordinance for inspection is available at the Clerk’s Office and the Building, Zoning, and Administration Office, from 8:30-4:30 Monday through Friday.

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter THE COUNSELING STAFF at Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock. From left, Site Supervisor Lee Nettles, general therapist Gary Rafala and child and adolescent specialist Susan Gau. Rafala is county’s new therapist , Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock has welcomed a new counselor to the staff. Gary Rafala joined the team at the county’s mental health clinic in January, and “has already demonstrated a high level of ability,” according to site supervisor Lee Nettles. Mr. Rafala came to Rappahannock from Lynchburg, where he worked at a city-run group home for adolescent girls. He described his duties as half-therapist, half administrator. Before coming to Virginia, Mr. Rafala worked as assistant director of a shelter for the homeless in Hartford, Conn. In Rappahannock, he will be a general therapist. Mr. Rafala said that he “enjoys the diversity” of general therapy, and is busy building a caseload at the Rappahannock clinic. “We don’t specialize out here — we handle everything.” Mr. Rafala said that he has enjoyed coming to Rappahannock, and is impressed with the resources available to the counselors in Rappahannock and in the other four com munity mental health clinics in Planning District 9. He noted that he is “finding out how many substance-abuse related cases there are here,” guessing that the number may be as high as 90 percent. Mr. Rafala added that percentage includes not only people whose own problems are directly related to substance abuse, but also the family members and other relations of abusers, such as adult children of alcoholics. That’s a fairly well-known group, he said, which-manifests problems in relationships and other life roles long after the family has been left behind. However, there are other groups as well. Mr. Rafala said that he is surprised by the amount of PCP used in this area. (PCP is an animal tranquilizer popular with adolescents for the euphoria it induces — it also impairs judgement, sensitivity to pain and destroys brain cells.) It is apparently more prevalent than Real estate transaction ’ The following real estate transfer was recorded during the past week: . Oscar F.

She works at the FGS office in Fauquier County. Mr. Nettles said, “We’re happy to have him here — it’s good to have someone we can have confidence in. And his sense of humor makes it easy for everyone to get to know him.” “I really like it out here,” Mr. Rafala concluded. “It’s a big change from Lynchburg — and a really big change from Hartford!” Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock is a service of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Coni m unity Services Center, headquartered in Culpeper.

We must move, and move positively” if Virginia’s farmlands and its agricultural industry are to be preserved, warned Dr. R. Michael Chandler, VPI extension specialist for community development. The Commonwealth’s population climbed 71 percent between 1950 and and 1986, Chandler told the audience at last Wednesday’s spring meeting of the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts. “That has not occured without a price,” he noted, adding that the cost has been particularly high in the farming communities which lie on the fringes of rapidly growing Northern Virginia. He pointed to Loudoun County as an example: since 1950, the county’s population has swelled by 200 percent, going from 40 to 123 persons per square mile. And as the overall population went up 200 percent, Loudoun’s rural farm population dropped 79 percent, while land traditionally used for food and fiber production was developed into subdivisions and shopping malls. Meanwhile, at the other end of the state, Southside agricultural communities have lost 80 percent of their farmers in the last 35 years while experiencing virtually no growth in overall population, Chandler reported. And the population of farming communities is growing older at a faster rate than urban populations, he added. Nineteen of Virginia’s 21 counties which have 40 percent or more of their area classified as prime agricultural land are either in the state’s urban crescent of substantial growth or the pockets of substantial population decline, according to the extension specialist. In either case, the future of farming is imperiled. “The urban corridor is losing land, and the rural areas are losing people . . . It’s difficult to farm land if you have to Seniors offered driving tips Older drivers have a wealth of experience on the road which helps them successfully handle difficult driving situations. But many people find that driving becomes more demanding as they age, said Eugene Meyung, president of Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO). “Older people drive cautiously and responsibly,” Mr. Meyung said, I DR.

That's what we’re seeing in Southside Virginia.” The rational for protecting the agricultural industry is evident: in 1987, farming contributed in excess of $19 billion to Virginia’s economy while one in every four working Virginians was employed in some aspect of farming, forestry or food production. “So what is agriculture?" Chandler asked. “Agriculture is big business." As reasons for preserving farmland, he cited: • prevention of urban sprawl and control of public costs, noting the “diseconomy of building the infrastructure to serve scattered subdivision development.” • maintenance of regional food supplies. • energy conservation through reduced transportation costs for moving agricultural products to market. • environmental protection that comes with limiting residential and commercial development in sensitive headwater regions, wildlife habitat, and flood plains. • the benefits to air and water quality through open space maintenance. • continuance of the rural life style valued by Virginians and important to tourism, “one of those clean industries we all want." As a strategy for preserving farmland, “multiple preservation techniques seem to work best,” Chandler said. These can be (1) land use regulations, with agricultural zoning the most frequently employed tool, (2) tax incentives, including use value assessments and tax abatement programs, (3) government acquisition (Chandler reported that King County. Washington, passed a $50 million bond referendum to purchase “but there are steps they can take to make getting behind the wheel safer and more relaxing.” Mr. Meyung offers the following tips: • Have your eyes checked regularly by a qualified optometrist or ophthalmologist to make sure your eyes are healthy and your prescription is correct. • Check with your doctor to be farmland and at the same time contain Seattle’s creeping sprawl. More than 13,000 acres have been bought to date.), (4) transfer of development rights, still “very much a nono in Virginia” but used in Loudoun County on a voluntarily basis that sidesteps the Dillon Rule restriction (whereby powers not specifically delegated to local government are retained by the state), and (5) control of public services. “If you do not extend roads into the hinterlands, if you do not extend water and sewer lines, then development is dramatically slowed,” Chandler said. He also noted the effectiveness of land gains taxation programs under which, as in Vermont, those who buy land for purely speculative purposes are taxed on the difference between the purchase price and the sales price, if the property is transfered within six years. “As you might imagine, that slows speculation dramatically.” In addition, Chandler said, the effort to preserve farmland can be aided by voluntary easement donations and the establishment of an agricultural development council which defines agriculture's economic contributioris and the role it plays in the community. With any farmland preservation program, “farmers had better be involved in it, and from the first,” he noted. “Planners know how to plan, but farmers know how to farm,” and expertise in both fields is necessary. And according to Chandler, the most successful preservation programs are those that allow farmers the latitude to make a little money from limited development. But the basic prerequisite must always be establishing the “public interest in preserving farms and farmland.” the extension specialist said. There the key is local initiative and “getting in touch with community values, goals, and objectives” because “land is not a personal possession but a part of the community." sure any prescription or over-thecounter medicine you may be taking won’t interfere with your ability to drive. • Defensive driving courses are offered in many areas. Take one to brush up on your driving techniques; some of the lades of the road may have changed since you got your license. • Buckle up every time you get in your car. Seat belts have been proven to save lives.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1988 Editorial A heckuva job In interviews with numerous law enforcement officials during the past few days, a common thread runs throughout. Each man, whether a detective captain in Trumbull, Conn., an FBI agent from Richmond, or Rappahannock’s Sheriff John Henry Woodward, expressed his appreciation to the other agencies involved in the kidnapping investigation. “We couldn’t have done it without them,” was the way one FBI agent expressed his feelings. To those thanks to the other law enforcement agencies were added expressions of “exceptional appreciation,” in Sheriff Woodward’s words, to the volunteer fire department and rescue squad members who gave up most of their weekend to wait on standby in case their services were needed. They also provided a command post at the Sperryville fire hall and, along with several merchants who donated food, kept the task force fed and supplied with hot coffee through the long hostage negotiations. Appreciation w as also extended to the residents of Old Hollow, Sperryville and the rest of the county for their cooperation and understanding during the long investigation. Leaf and the hostages might not have been located as soon as they were if it w ere not for the alert residents who spotted him Thursday night and immediately telephoned the Sheriffs Department. To that list, we’d like to add our thanks. We breathe a sigh of relief that the long weekend is over. The investigation was marked by cooperation among all the agencies involved, from the county’s Sheriffs Department to the FBI. The investigators handled themselves professionally and seemed concerned that they disturb the residents of the area as little as possible, while making them aware of the dangers which the situation posed. We appreciate their work, and thank them all. We hope, however, and think they would understand, that we’d rather never have another occasion to require their services. Indie ators suggest economy rising WILLIAMSBURG - Rebounds in planned construction and new car sales throughout the state suggest that Virginians’ confidence in the economic future is rising, according to the latest Virginia Business Report, published by the Bureau of Business Research at the College of William and Mary. “Building permits statewide rose strongly this February, up 15.7 percent compared to February 1987, spkurred by surges of more than 100 percent in many areas,” said Roy L. Pearson, director of the bureau and editor of the report. “New car registrations also increased sharply, by 27.2 percent, the first sign of real strength for new car demand since December 1986.” Other economic indicators also showed gains in Virginia during February, with the exception of retail sales. While total sales by all stores rose in February, retailers sampled by the bureau experienced an average decline of 0.4 percent u) their sales per store. " January data recently made available for two major indicators, taxable retail sales and nonagricultural employment, also revealed surprisingly strong growth in Virginia. In taxable sales, “the DecemberJanuary average showed a statewide gain of 11.3 percent, confirming that Virginia consumers spent quite freely for nearly all types of goods (except autombiles) during those two months,” Mr. Pearson reported. Northern Virginia experienced a 7.4 percent employment rise instead of the earlier 3.6 percent; Charlottesville employment rose 4.5 percent instead of 1.8 percent; and Danville 3.1 percent instead of 0.9 percent. VSP to assist road construction safety drive Virginia siaie troopers will patrol some highway construction areas more frequently in an on-going effort by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and State Police to ensure the safety of the traveling public and construction workers. VDOT and the Virginia Department of State Police have signed a formal agreement that calls for state troopers to be paid overtime for patrolling specific construction sites designated by VDOT engineers and State Police supervisors. “Increased police presence will ensure that motorists slow down when approaching a work zone,” said state rolice Superintendent Colonel R. L. Suthard. “Many traffic accidents in work zones could have been avoided if drivers had reduced their speed and paid attention to signs that signaled the entrance to a work zone.” In addition, VDOT is launching an aggressive public information campaign this summer that will give drivers advance warning of highway construction or maintenance operations on high-volume highways. As part of that campaign, Virginia has adopted the slogan “Give ’em a Brake,” to remind motorists to slow down in construction zones and watch for highway workers. Commentary Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan SHADED BY A GROVE of pine trees, the cemetery atop Red Oak Mountain is a silent memorial to the county’s history. : Rappahannock Heritage «t| Letters to the editor 1 ’If it aint’ broke • • # ro the editor: Last fall when the work began on mprovements to Route 622 across :he top of Aaron Mountain, we apparently were not at home when our peighbors were informed as to what he road people intended to do to the property along the road. We later learned from one of the ■rew that they planned to take off at east seven trees and all the row of lowers we had spent several years ind dollars developing and which pad been beautiful for the first time ast year. Our property is almost level with road and our two driveway entrances go straight into the roadway. We have never had any water problems, no ponding and no potholes in front of our property and we liked the elevations and had been living with them for 20 years. They claimed they needed 24 feet, 18 for hard surface and six on each side for shoulders. We had from 21 to 24 feet. I had already seen the way they had cut back the bank in front of a neighbor’s yard and certainly didn’t want that across the front of our yard. We invited Doug Bywaters to come and check with us on it. He agreed they could take some off the other side, to which our neighbors agreed. I thought that settled the matter. They ran the blade across the area and I would have been satisfied with what had been agreed upon and done. Last Wednesday morning they came in again and began work. They made several passes and were scraping the cab of the machine on some low limbs. When we offered them the chain saw to cut off some limbs, Support for Rt. 211 To the editor: The following letter was sent April 6, with petitions attached, to Constance R. Kincheloe, Rappahannock’s Representative on the Commonwealth Transportation Board. I wanted to write to express my interest and support of the proposed expansion of Route 211 between Washington, VA and Sperryville. Despite all the recent furor that has developed over this project I feel that the vast minority of the people in my area support this road expansion as I do. To that end I have enclosed copies of signatures I and others have collected over the last several weeks from people who do indeed want this road to come through. I would like to point out that virtually all of these signatures are from people who live in the area and who will be directly affected by this project, as opposed to some of the more vocal critics who are not necessarily from this immediate area. In closing it has been my understanding and the understanding of many others that this project was and is a foregone conclusion. Were this not the case I am quite sure that the supporters of the Route 211 expansion would have been far more vocal than they have been to this point. Thank you for your attention to this matter. JAMES E. SWINDLER Sperryville. “We expect to nearly douuie me number of highway construction projects around the state this year,” said Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner Ray D. Pethtel. “this is the year we begin to move a lot of dirt.” The increased construction is a result of the additional $420 million annually in transportation funds the state began collecting last year as a result of the transportation initiatives of Governor Gerald L. Baliles. As part of the effort to ensure work zone safety, VDOT and State Police continue to conduct seminars around the state for highway work ers emphasizing work zone policies and procedures. “Sensitizing highway workers to the dangers of working in traffic and to the need to set up work zones so that drivers can get through them safely is another step we are taking, but we need motorists’ help,” Mr. Pethtel said. “The sight of an orange safety cone or sign should set off an alarm in the mind of the driver. Orange is a signal that a work zone is ahead. Paying attention to that could mean the difference between a safe trip and an accident,” the Commissioner added. €t)c ftappafjannocfe news staff wants to hear your story ideas. Call the news room today with your suggestions and news tips. we found that they had a 14-ineh ditch where no ditch had ever been and had never been needed. They told us they would have to cut off the end of the driveway and put in a 12inch pipe to “carry away the water.” I protested, to no avail. The matter was settled as far as they were concerned. We had to leave and be away for the rest of the day. Thursday morning I called the office in Warrenton after learning that Mr. Bywaters was away and invited hime to come and see our ditch. He sent Mike Moon, the assistant resident engineer. We had rain during the night and there was water standing in their ditch, the first time we have ever had water standing in the road in front of our property. Mr. Moon supported the foreman and reminded us that if a hurricane came there would be a lot of water to run off. We’ve had only one major flood in Rock Mills in the 20 yedrs we’ve owned the property and we had no damage from that. I felt that was a rather far-fetched argument/. • After much discussion, Mr. Mo^n agreed to have the ditch refilled and compacted to a depth of six inches. He insisted the 12-inch pipe was needed to take off the water which hadn’t been there until they dug the ditch. We’ve never had water standing there nor running off in the ditchds which were not there. We don’t like what they have done and we don’t need a culvert. I feel they have ruined the front of our property for no. better reason than to show us they1 can do and that we can’t help our-> selves. There is an old saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” "•-‘X Castleton. DORIS B. DONAE& *<* No link with Spyder Mtn.

Op-Ed jpwinging the trade balance By SEN. JOHN WARNER «T- R-VA *f* ^ast year, the United States Jfliade histoiy in a way that is likely £p? have a significant impact on our •Economy for years to come. After several years of mounting *£rade deficits, the United States rjflvung from being a net creditor to rest of the world to being its Jjgrgest net debtor. These trade defiles result from a variety of economic *3nd political factors, including a *tkige federal budget deficit, a strong 'American dollar and changes in Mother countries’ economies and com'petitiveness. In a brief span of nine months, the U.S. roared past every other country - Mexico, Brazil and other Latin America “debtor nations” - to pile up a $300 billion IOU to the rest of the world. Future consequences „ While there is little threat to our ^Ountry in the short-term because of Che shefer size of our nation’s economy, we must be prepared for negjjjbive repercussions in the future. As *J[Ur debt to other nations continues to grow through these continued trade deficits, we will need to service this debt through higher exports of goods and services. Some economists estimate that in the next five years, even without additional trade deficits, the U.S. must have a net export surplus of one percent of our entire output of goods and services just to keep up the payments. Here at home that translates into a lower standard of living as we work harder to service that debt. In the meantime, this situation can lead to open bidding on American companies and property as foreigners try to covert their excess dollars into income-earning assets and investments. In layman’s terms, this means that we are beginning to mortgage assets of our economic inheritance to pay for our current spending habits in the rest of the world. While this spending spree has contributed substantially to higher economic prosperity throughout the world during the 1980s, now the bill is coming due, and we have to pay it.

Day realtor' SIDELINE BUSINESS AT HOME Once upon a time, the IRS tried to tighten the rules for taking home office deductions. It’s thrust was to require the business to be the homeowner’s “principal place of business.” That eliminated those who used an area for a second or sideline business. That rule has now been eased. A home office that is used regularly and exclusively as a principal place of ANY business, including a sideline business, now qualifies for tax decuctions. You base the deductible portion of the area used for'business by either of two ways: (a) the percentage of your space used as an office, or (b) the percentage of rooms used for business, whichever is the most advantageous for you. You can deduct the folllwing expenses by that percentage: Gas and electric bills; maintenance costs (painting, plumbing, heating system repairs, etc.); and depreciation for that amount of space used.

One step, certainly, is for the U.S. to regain its traditional economic competitiveness in the world marketplace. To do this will require long-term fundamental changes, including changing our view of international trade, and encouraging American firms to enter and compete in markets aboard. In regaining our competitive position in the international marketplace, we must measure not only the quantity of our exports but their quality as well. It is not enough for us to achieve, say, a balance of trade with the Japanese in the next several years, if that balance consists primarily of sales of basic agricultural goods from the United States to Japan, while they send us supercomputers, automobiles and other highvalue products. While agricultural exports are very important, and that might be a balance on the international ledger books, it is certainly not a balance of investment in our own economy. The recent U.S. export boom is a case in point. Basic commodities, such as agricultural products and natural resources, have experienced sharp increases in foreign sales, while sales of “value-added” manufactured products or services are increasing only slowly. Although higher overall exports are a welcome development, they do not signal the necessary long-term shift in American exports needed to get our economy back on track. Trade bill pending Congress is presently considering massive legislation that would ■empower the executive branch to press for open markets abroad and to respond to unfair trade practices by other countries. The bill covers everything from improving agriculture exports to dealing with international trade debt problems. It is intended to update U.S. trade laws in the face of a constantly changing world marketplace. Properly crafted, this new law will enable U.S. business to develop dependable markets for a widerange of U.S. goods overseas. Equally important, it will allow us to start paying off our foreign obligations. John Warner, Virginia's senior senator, represents the Commonwealth in the United States Senate.

As a result, the Loan Closet’s supplies of hospital and convalescent aids are being depleted, she added. “We are deeply grateful for items recently donated by the generous folk of Rappahannock including those supplies left anonymously with one of our workers, but we are in need especially of aids for people recovering from broken bones, such as in the pelvic area.” All of the Loan Closet’s wheelchairs are spoken for; raised toilet seats, walkers and canes are in special demand, she said. If there is a family in the county who no longer have a need for a convalescent aid in their possession and would like to give it to the Rappahannock Loan Closet, they can be assured that their gift will be put to the best possible use - that of giving aid and comfort to someone who really needs it. Remember, nobody, rich or poor, need pay for the use of any item borrowed and it is on hand to loan for as long as it is necessary. Please call the following numbers for either a donation or a need: 987-8248 or 675-3636.

Wildflower weekend in Shenandoah Park Shenandoah National Park has designated May 13 to 15 as Spring Wildflower Weekend. In cooperation with the Shenandoah Chapter of the Virginia Wildflower Preservation Society, the Park will be offering special programs and activities during this period. Tour leaders form the Society, as well as professors from James Madison University, Bridgewater College, and Lord Fairfax Community College will join National Park rangers in presenting a wide variety of activities. They will include guided walks, evening slide programs and a motorcade featuring the Park’s spring wildflowers. A photographic exhibit of spring wildflowers by photographer Richard Wiegrand will also be on display at the Dickey Ridge Visitor Center. Park Superintendent Bill Wade invites all Park visitors “to come enjoy the beauty of Shenandoah’s spring wildflowers before they disappear for another year.” Shenandoah National Park has more than 1100 species of flowering plants. The progression begins in mid-March with the arrival of the first blossoms, occasionally while patches of snow are still on the ground. As each day grows slightly warmer, the wildflowers become more numerous and varied. The peak blooming period for spring wildflowers in Shenandoah occurs during the first few weeks of May. 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 this chance! For more information concerning the weekend’s events or to make reservations, contact Shenandoah National Park at (703) 999-2243, daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “We hope you will come and take part in the fun,” a park nature specialist said. CMH institutes badge program Identification tags will mark visitors to Culpeper Memorial Hospital after April 18. The tags will identify all who come to the hospital: outpatients, visitors, and those who come for business. Employees wear permanent identification pins. “This procedure will benefit our patients and the quality of care they receive,” said Bill Gravely, CMH president. “We ask everyone who comes to the hospital to stop at the reception desk in the main lobby to get a tag from the volunteer.” Wearing identification will protect the health and safety of patients and staff and will help preserve the hospital’s physical plant as a valuable community resource. “Recent experiences have made us look at our security precautions and strengthen our system," said Mr. Gravely. “These procedures are customary practice at other area hospitals. “The hospital’s patient care areas have ample space to provide care and to accomodate a moderate number of visitors. We feel it is important to limit visitors to two per patient because too many visitors can interfere with treatment, cause noise and congestion, and adversely affect infection control efforts,” Mr. Gravely added. Lifeline unit donated to Warren Memorial Hospital The American Legion Auxilary recently donated a Lifeline Unh^o Warren Memorial Hospital. X Lifeline is a personal emergeflby response system for the home. Lifeline subscribers are provided with a portable radio transmitter which is connected with their telephone and alerts emergency personnel at Warren Memorial Hospital when they need medical help. The hospital has 38 Lifeline Units in operation with a waiting list for more units to be installed. Any organization or individual interested in donating a Lifeline Unit to the hospital, please call Brenda Atkins, 636-0380.

Others peer into radio telescopes searching the farthest reaches of space. Still others pit their strength against social dilemmas that stifle the spirit of mankind. All of us seem to have been born with a desire to conquer. How constructively we express it depends on the influences which shape our lives—especially the spiritual influences. Centuries ago one of the greatest Christian leaders wrote: "We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us... ” The conquest of life’s challenges depends not simply on the dimensions of our own strength and character. It depends most of all on spiritual resources and growth—the vitality with which a Loving Lord has endowed his followers. The threshold of a neighboring church or synagogue has been for many the first step toward life's pinnacle. &cnpturas j*»t®ciea Dy the American Btoie Society Copyright 1968.

Spring lamb can’t be beat By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics Fresh lamb is becoming increasingly available at the retail market in a variety of forms. Though lamb has long been a staple in the cuisine of Europe, India, China, and the Middle East, American consumers often pass it by at the meat counter. This is due basically to unfamiliarity with the meat, except among certain ethnic groups, and lingering misconceptions about lamb vs. mutton. Here are some facts which should provide some enlightenment about lamb and aid in making an informed selection at the supermarket. Lamb, meat from an immature sheep, is marketed according to age and sometimes grade. Grades found at the retail level are Prime, Choice, and sometimes Good. The age at which the lamb was processed is a major determinant of tenderness and delicacy of flesh. The younger the lamb, with the exception of those under two months of age, the more tender and flavorful the meat. Lamb may be labeled as milkfed lamb, spring lamb, and genuine spring lamb, all of which came to market at six months of age or less. Mutton comes from a mature sheep between one and two years of age. When selecting fresh lamb, note the following qualities: • The younger the animal, the smaller the carcass and its corresponding meat cuts; at retail, most cuts are uniform size. /• The younger the animal, the v'piler the flesh color. Flesh should be firm and finegrained. • Marbling, which contributes to flavor and tenderness, is also an indication of increasing age. • Fat surrounding the lean will be whiter in the young animal, with a firm texture and slightly waxy eon• sistency. • Previously frozen prepackaged lamb marketed as fresh will swim in its ow n juices and may be dry and tough w hen cooked. In cooking fresh lamb, most cuts can be prepared using dry heat methods. Some cuts such as shoulder chops, neck slices, shank and breast are better braised. When simmering, cook the lamb until done, then cool overnight in refrigerator. This w’ay the fat can be simply removed in a congealed sheet, which makes many inexpensive lamb recipes more popular. Legs, lions, and racks should be roasted no higher than 325 degrees. This low temperature holds shrinkage and loss of juices to a minimum. It also contributes to more even cooking and browning and appealing flavor. Although the degree of doneness is often a matter of personal preference, the following internal temperatures as checked by a meat thermometer are suggested: rare: 140-150 degrees; medium: 160-165 degrees; well-done: 170-180 degrees. Lamb steaks, loin and rib chops may be broiled, pan-broiled and fried. Regardless of the cut or cooking method, low cooking temperatures are best to preserve tenderness. When cooking riblets for barbecue, trim away excess fat first, then brown riblets and pour off fat drippings before adding any kind of sauce.

Ordeal Continued from Page 1 and threatening to kill her if she continued to refuse. She went into hiding for some time last year, living with friends.She told them she was fearful that if she surfaced Leaf would abduct her again and kill her. Just before Christmas, Fairfield police received a tip that Leaf, a carpenter, and the boy would be at a Christmas party at a construction site. According to Fairfield police Captain Robert Comers, police found the two there, but were harassed by workers at the party while trying to arrest Leaf. In the melee, someone grabbed the boy and fled. The boy was found two days later, wandering alone on a street in Shelton, Conn. Leaf was charged with resisting arrest and possession of a weapon without a permit. He remained in custody in Fairfield until February, when his employer posted bail and he was released. The charges against him were still pending last week when he kidnapped Ms. Hart and her son. The manhunt begins On Wednesday morning, several FBI agents arrived in Rappahannock County to investigate the leads developed by Lt. Brown and the authorities in Connecticut. By Wednesday evening, the FBI was assembling a massive task force of tactical squads, regular agents and a Hostage Rescue Team from (juantico Marine Base. The Virginia State Police had sent in tactical squads and several tracking dogs. Assistance was also requested from the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department. United States Park Service police and rangers from the Shenandoah National Park. A command post was established at the Sperrvville Fire Department. Its roof and nearby posts bristled with antennas for the task force's communications equipment. The telephone company installed temporary lines for additional telephones. Meanwhile on Tuesday night, Old Hollow Grocery, at the intersection of Rt. 211 and Rt. 612, was burglarized. Among the items taken were luncheon meats, cheese, bread, canned goods and a bag of change. Leaf was suspected as the burglar, and this was later confirmed by the investigators. At dawn Thursday morning, the teams left the command post in a cold drizzle and began a house-tohouse sweep of Old Hollow. The search lasted most of the day, as three teams of agents armed with automatic weapons and sophisticated communications equipment checked every building from the top of the hollow to Rt. 211. They were assisted by two helicopters. which hovered under the low clouds and mist that hampered the searchers. The teams inspected but did not enter any building which seemed securely locked, and searched all structures which were open or unlocked. By Thursday afternoon, however, the sweep had come up empty and the teams were sent home. The command post was moved across Thornton Gap to the Shenandoah National Park headquarters east of Luray. Although FBI agents on the scene would not speak to reporters, they apparently felt that Leaf had left the area.

More sightings, another search About 9 p.m. Thursday, however, two Old Hollow residents reported seeing a man matching Leaf s description with a small boy walking along Rt. 612 near the intersection of Rt. 600. The sheriffs department immediately went to the scene and requested assistance from the state police. They began a search and brought in a tactical team and a tracking dog, which combed the woods and searched houses and barns in the area until nearly dawn Friday. The driving rain which fell all night grounded the state police’s helicopters, which the team had hoped could provide light from above with their powerful searchlights. More federal agents were brought in on Friday, and the search was widened to include parts of Gid Brown Hollow and the fields, buildings and hills south of Rt. 211. Reports of sightings began to come in from areas other than Old Hollow, and were investigated. The silent approach With massive searches using helicopters and dogs yielding no results, the FBI agents in charge of the operation decided to change tactics Friday night. Although the only statements released were, “The investigation is continuing,’’.they tried another approach. As darkness fell, agents dressed in camouflage battle fatigues and ballistics helmets, wearing bulletproof vests and equipped with “night vision” and light-enhancing sniper scopes, were stationed throughout the hollow. The hope, apparently, was that. Leaf was holed up during the day and moving at night, and that he would be spotted by one of the “watchers” hidden in the darkness. As dawn broke Saturday, however, the overnight vigil had drawn a blank. A state police helicopter again cut the air above the hollow as tactical teams and tracking dogs resumed the ground hunt. Among their objectives was to recheck the locked buildings which had been cleared by the FBI teams during their search Thursday. About midafternoon Saturday, a team working on the west side of the hollow discovered a hunting cabin which had been broken into. The team suspected that the break-in was related to the kidnapping and requested assistance. Leaf was not found. A bloodhound was brought in and picked up a scent, but eventually lost the track. About 7 p.m., another team began searching a barn on property owned by Apple Hill Partnership about one-half mile off Rt. 211. In the barn’s loft they found cigarettes and food they suspected were stolen from the grocery store. The helicopter which had been spotting for the operation landed in the field in front of the house. The agents got a key from the property’s caretaker and entered the house, which is used as a vacation retreat and was unoccupied last week. When the first agent started up .the stairs, Leaf confronted him and threatened to kill the hostages. The team retreated, taking up positions inside the house on the first floor. A state police tactical squad rushed to the scene and surrounded the house, cutting off any chance of Leafs escape out an upstairs window. Other troopers blocked the three roads leading out of the hollow and established a command post near the road in front of the house. The standoff begins An FBI hostage negotiator from the Bureau’s Washington, D.C., office was brought into the house, and began talking with Leaf. Clothes, which Ms. Hart was washing when the team burst in, were taken to the county jail, dried and returned. Food was requested and delivered to Leaf. The negotiations continued throughout the night, as troopers stood guard at the hollow's entrances and fire and rescue units from Sperryville and Washington waited at the checkpoints. At dawn, the word was passed that “something” was imminent, i he state police tactical team which had secured the outside of the house was replaced by an FBI team, and the stalemate continued. Morning turned into afternoon, and again the word was passed; this time that the rescue units should "stand by.” A state police med-evac helicopter was in the area, ready to swoop in and evacuate any injured people. Bv midafternoon, the agents handling the negotiations had worked out an agreement with Leaf. They consented to his demand that he be allowed to leave in the helicopter, which had been grounded for fear of being shot at. The kidnapper, however, didn’t know the entire plan. At two points earlier in the negotiations Leaf had stopped negotiat ing and began threatening to kill Ms. Hart. On at least one occasion he had put the carbine to her head. Both times the negotiator had been able to calm him down and bev gin the talks again. This time he toluol the agents at the command post that, he was concerned that if they lost' Leaf again he might carry out hi^ threat. The negotiators agreed to Leafs demand. They summoned the pilot back to the scene, and he climbed aboard the helicopter and started its engine. But Leaf would have to leave the sanctuary of the house to reach the helicopter. Just after 3 p.m.. Leaf came onto the porch, down the steps and into the yard. He had Ms. Hart in front of him, the carbine to her head. Leaf had strapped his son to his back, which shielded him from behind. The three moved a short distance down the driveway, then crossed a board fence. They had walked only a few steps into the field wiien the trap was sprung. The helicopter, which was sitting with its engine running and rotors spinning, suddenly revved up its engine and the prop wash from the rotor knocked Leaf and Ms. Hart off balance. Then it took off. That left Leaf and the two hostages in the field, exposed, their escape back to the house cut off by tactical team members who had moved in behind them. i As the chopper rose, tactical squad agents hidden alchg a fencerow set off two “flash-bang” devices to Leafs right. The grenades, which produce a blinding flash and a concussive shock wave of sound, cause momentary disorientation for anyone nearby. The split-second loss of Leafs concentration was all that was necessary. As he turned his he;d toward the flash and sound, an FBI marksman shot him. He fell backwards, landing <|i top of his son. Other agents rushld in and scooped up Ms. Hart an cut loose the young boy. They wet put into the back seat of a state jplice cruiser and whisked to the fire lall, where they were transferred t an ambulance and taken to Culj*per Memorial Hospital. They were met there by Ms. Hart's mother and stepfijer, where they held a tearful refriion before returning to Connecticft on Monday. “We’re just glad it’s over,”jlary Hart said. “At least she never fes to worry about him again.” Open House For Horses. < Stop By And Visit.

Why did Leaf come to Rappahannock? Authorities still don’t know the answer to that question, which has Jlbeen the main topic of speculation y during the past week. On Monday, two FBI agents in | Richmond said in separate interviews with the Rappahannock News, that no reliable information has been received which leads the investigators to believe that Charles A. Leaf II had any connection with Rappahannock County prior to his arrival with his two hostages sometime Easter weekend. “After all our investigations to date,” said Don Thiel, the evidence indicates that “he had no contact with anyone here” other than the people who said they saw him that weekend. “He knew no one, he talked to no one, and no one assisted him” other than those incidental contacts with several residents. Asked about reports that he had lived here before, specifically an allegation by Thomas Baldwin Jr. of Sperryville, which was broadcast on WUSA, Channel 9, on Sunday night and picked up by several newspapers, that Leaf had lived at Spyder Mountain in Old Hollow, FBI agent Kevin August called them "poppycock.” Agent August theorized that the car, a 1973 Chevrolet Nova, “just broke down here.” He wanted to go south, the agent said, “and you’ve got to pass through Virginia” to go south. Agent Thiel added that, “we have our own ways to evaluate information as it comes in.” He echoed Agent August’s unequivocal assertion that the FBI had absolutely no reason to believe that Leaf or Cheryl Hart, his former wife and one of the hostages, had any connection with Rappahannock County before their car was abandoned in Old Hollow. As far as where the three had stayed. Sheriff John Henry Woodward said that Leaf told the negotiator during the seige that they had stayed in a lean-to in the woods above the road where the car was found. The sheriff said that it was concealed in such a manner that it would have been almost impossible to spot from the air. Apparently, as Leaf moved through the area at night, he noticed that the house he was eventually found in was vacant. Agent August said that the FBI believes that he entered the house sometime Friday or early Saturday, after it had been checked and cleared by the Bureau’s tactical teams. Though there was at least one alleged sighting of Leaf walking up the Thornton River west of Sperryville, which would have put him out side Old Hollow, the FBI has no concrete evidence that any of the three ventured farther out of the hollow than the grocery store at the intersection of Rt. 612 and Rt. 211, which Leaf burglarized the night of April 5. The three families who live in what is known as Spyder’s say they have never seen Mr. Leaf except in photographs showrn them by FBI agents. They further report that they have asked both the Star-Exponent and the television station to correct the error but that neither would agree to do so. Jane MullinWeisgerber explained that the only communal aspect of Spyder’s is shared maintenace of the road that serves three family residences. “We are not a commune. We are a community,” she said. “We help each other out, just like the members of any community. We celebrate birthdays together. We babysit for each other’s children. If someone’s car breaks down, we share transportation. We’re good neighbors, just like the neighbors in other Rappahannock communities.” And Charles Leaf was never a part of that community, she emphasized. “He has never lived here. He has never visited here. We don’t know him. We’ve never met him. We’ve never even seen him except in photographs.” DURING THURSDAY’S SEARCH, FBI agents used two four-wheel through the hollow.

The aim of the hostage negotiator is to get everyone, including the abductor, out alive and uninjured. “We don’t consider an operation like this a success unless everyone comes out alive,” said one state police officer. To that end, the special teams assembled for such a situation are prepared to wait hours, days or weeks to resolve it without bloodshed. “As long as we can keep him talking, there’s a chance that he will give up and come out,” the officer said. In the Utah hostage situation, the teams waited for more than a week, despite the fact that intermittent shots were fired from the farmhouse, including one which killed a Utah State Correctional Officer. Mr. August refused to discuss negotiation techniques in detail, saying that they are top secret “for obvious reasons.” He did, however, say that there are three elements involved: 1) containment of the situation, not allowing the suspect or the victims to leave the area; 2) discourse, communication and negotiation with the perpetrator: and 3) time. Time is on the side of the law. They have several teams which can work in shifts and can eat, drink and sleep when they’re off duty. Then they can return to relieve the other team, awake and rested. The kidnapper, however, is more vulnerable the longer he waits. Fatigue and hunger are his biggest enemies. In most situations, he can’t satisfy either of those needs without the cooperation of the negotiators. Mr. August also explained the “Stockholm syndrome,” in which the victims of the kidnapping become more dependent on their abductor as the situation continues. In contrast to the kidnapper’s feelings, the hostages grow to become more reliant on the abductor, even cooperating with him in some cases. “It happens in every one,” the agent said. “They realize that they owe their lives to the kidnapper - that he has the power of life or death. ” In this kidnapping, Mr. August said, there were some indications that Ms. Hart had, at some points, cooperated with her abductor. If she did, he added, it was “probably out of fear” for the lives of her son and herself. On the other hand, the kidnapper must rely on negotiations with law enforcement to have his demands met. And, they will try to exact a price for those concessions. If the kidnapper wants food, he may have to trade a hostage for it. In the Old Hollow situation, Leaf reportedly told the negotiator during the night that he wanted the agents to be quiet so that his son could sleep. They did comply with his request. If possible, the negotiator will attempt to keep the abductor awake, hoping to wear him down until he falls asleep or drops his guard for a moment, allowing the hostages to escape. There are, however, limits to the waiting game. The FBI negotiators, whom Mr. August called “the best in the world at what they do,” are veterans of many such situations. Although again Mr. August refused to discuss techinques, it is generally acknowledged that negotiators have developed psychological profiles of abductors, and are aw are of certain signs which may indicate the individual is considering carrying out the always implicit threat to kill his hostages. Knowing that, it seems likely that the negotiator handling the situation on Sunday recognized some of those signs in Leaf as the situation wore on. Later, reports indicated that the negotiator had “lost” him twice. Apparently, Leaf stopped talking and began threatening to kill Ms. Hart and the boy if the police did not give into his demand. Both times the negotiator was able to calm him down, but was concerned that if he lost control of Leaf again he might kill the hostages. The only demand he made, according to Mr. August, was for the helicopter “to fly him south, somewhere where there were mountains. He never got any more specific than that.” That concern for the safety of the hostages appears to be the catalyst for the decision to employ the helicopter ruse to get Leaf out of the house. Mr. August added that Leaf had shown “a propensity for violence before,’ through his repeated beatings of Ms. Hart, his abduction of her and the boy at gunpoint, his pointing his gun at the agents who confronted him and the fact that, during the standoff, he had fired three shots. Therefore, the FBI was convinced that he was capable of carrying out his threat to kill the hostages. Mr. August said that no one was hurt by Leafs shots, and that the FBI was unsure of what he w'as shooting at. Once out of the house. Leaf was almost certainly going to be killed. There was no intention on the part of the officials in control to allow' him aboard the helicopter. If they had, law' enforcement would have lost control of the situation. Only by laying down his weapon and releasing the hostages could he have been spared. And, apparently, he refused to do that. As the FBI helicopter he thought would spirit him away rose out of the grass without him, Charles Leafs life, and his wife and son’s ordeal, ended in the single sharp “crack” of a marksman’s rifle.

Kobb finds resource protection critical to state’s economy By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Arundel Newspaper* staff writer “Environmentalism is more than a good cause. It's a matter of enlightened self interest." said Charles Robb, former Virginia governor, speaking at the Soil and Water Conservation Districts’ spring meeting last week in Warrenton. Citing the “important relationship between ecology and economy." Robb maintained that environmental protection is a prerequisite for economic growth. And if the private sector will not afford that protection, “people look to government." When his administration initiated the promotion of the Commonwealth as an ideal location for businesses, the state's system for safeguarding its natural resources was “still somewhat haphazard." enforcement of environmental regulations was lax, and goals for environmental protection were not clearly defined, he said. Corporations wanted an “attractive quality of life" for their employees, and that meant safe communities, good schools and housing, and assurance that state government would protect Virginia’s natural heritage. Robb said. So to balance economic development with preservation, his administration “began to work closely with the General Assembly to turn things around ... 1 like to believe we fostered a whole new attitude of respect for natural resources (and) elevated the environmental conscience of state government." According to Robb, the efforts of his and Governor Gerald Baliles' administrations resulted in: • greater effectiveness and clout for the State Water Control Board. • a new Department of Waste Management which is “bringing much needed integrity to the per mitting process for landfills." • a reorganized Department of Conservation and Historic Resources. • establishment of a cabinet level position, the Secretary of Natural Resources, with "the sole responsibility to monitor and protect the natural balance.” • the start of Virginia's efforts to halt the depredation of the Chesapeake Bay and clean up existing pollution. Robb termed the bay campaign “a shining example" of the partnership which must be forged between federal, state, and local governments, industry, and citizens if natural resources are to be protected. Much has been done to stop point pollution of this "national treasure" but run-off from farms and subdivisions continues to fill the bay with nutrients which promote the algae growth that is choking aquatic plant and animal life, he said. He called for improved farming practices in the bay's watershed to control this non-point pollution and noted that already, "best management practices" have saved 330,000 tons of "precious top soil for farmers" while "saving the bay in the process." And Robb expressed optimism that the new land use law passed by the General Assembly in its last session will ensure that local zoning decisions governing "where people work and live" in the watershed will now be made “with the bavin mind." Looking back over the accomplishments of the Robb and Baliles administrations, he maintained it can now be said with assurance that "a kejtone disaster will never happen again in Virginia.” But the current chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council who political pundits see as an eventual contender for the U.S. presidency noted that the state's environment continues to be threatened by acid rain, groundwater contamination by toxic chemicals and other pollutants, and solid waste, which keeps increasing while disposal options decrease. And maybe most alarming of all, Robb said, “scientists are now telling us that man-made chemicals are depleting the earth’s ozone layer at a much faster rate" than previously thought. In the past, environmental protection strategies focused on the major industrial and municipal dischargers of contaminants, which are easier to identify and control; now. however, “we can no longer address solely the big polluters," Robb said. As an example, he noted that automobiles and commonly used household and consumer products contribute heavily to pollutiqp problems. “We have met the enemy and he is us," Robb said, quoting Walt Kelly’s comic strip character, Pogo. Accordingly, today’s “environmentalism also means changing individual practices and attitudes." "As the problems grow more complex, the solutions get even murkier," Robb continued; But fortunately, public awareness is greater and public opinion is strongly in favor of environmental protection, he added. “We abuse the land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a commodity to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect,” Robb said, this time quoting environmentalist Aldo Leopold. Only if air, soil, and water are protected “is man going to be able to survive”; if natural resources are not guarded against abuse, “our generation will have sold its birthright,” he concluded. Hearing Continued from Page 1 pervisors who support the improvements have not listened to their concerns. One supervisor. Nelson Lane, spoke against the project. Both Sen. Kevin Miller and Delegate Andy Guest approached the controversy gingerly. Sen. Miller suggested that improvements to Rt. 840 would alleviate problems on Rt. 211. by diverting commuters from Page and Warren Counties. But he said that he supported the board of supervisors because “I’m a great believer in elected local officials deciding how to spend money on local issues." Home by: Gary K.

Two reasons not to paint from a full can: the paint can thicken when exposed to the air, and it's horribly messy. Instead, transfer about a third of the paint to a clean painter's bucket which you've placed on layers of newspaper over sheet of plastic. Consider air flow when you install a smoke detector. An air supply register too close to the detector might blow away the smoke, delaying the alarm. An air return too close might recirculate and dilute the smoke, again delaying the alarm.

Guest avoided a firm position one way or the other on proceeding with the fourlaning —“He’s playing it cool," whispered one onlooker. But he pointed out that “Rt 211 goes by a school at Little Washington. Some people have serious concerns about safety . . . Those considerations have to be met.” Mr. Guest stressed that a ban on truck traffic on Rt. 17 north of Warrenton has had a serious impact on Rt. 211. Without access to Rt. 17, the shortest north-south pathway for tractor trailers now follows Routes 522 and 211. Like several other speakers. Mr. Guest pointed out that a lifting of the ban would reduce traffic on Rt. 211. But John Cadwalader — Ms. Cadwalader's husband — took the argument one more step.
