But he wasn’t dreaming at the board’s April 11 work session on the proposed school budget: the School Board was offering use of kitchen facilities at the public schools for the jail’s food services, giving the supervisors a way out of a difficult situation. “We have a cafeteria. We have two cafetrias that are only used a few hours during the school day,” said Dr. David Gangel, adding that an employee of the sheriffs department could work around the lunch program to prepare meals for prisoners. And in addition to providing its own supplies and kitchen staff, the Sheriffs Department would be expected only to pay something towards maintenance and repairs to offset the increased use of the facilities, the superintendent said. The offer brought broad grins to the faces of the four board members at Monday’s work session. “It’s nice to have something to fall back on,” noted Supervi sor Charles Estes. “Well, we know how it is to find yourself between a rock and a hard place,” School Board Chairman Beverly Massie replied. The rock in this instance is the shaky state of the county’s arrangement for supplying meals for prisoners; the hard place is the mandate for supplying those meals. In January, Sheriff John Henry Woodward relayed complaints from prisoners regarding the quality of the food served by the Hampton Inn, which caters jail meals at $9 per day, more than three times the state average of $2.57, and asked the board to consider construction of a kitchen addition, estimated to cost about $100,000, with 50 percent reimbursable by the state. The county’s contract with Mildred Cebula, owner of the diner on Rt. 211, specified that the agreement renewed automatically for another year if neither party notified the other of intenSee CAFETERIA, p. 16 Slate issues operating permit for county landfill Rappahannock has its first county landfill. On April 10, Cynthia Bailey, executive director of the Virginia Department of Waste Management, signed permit No. 520 for the operation of a sanitary landfill on the 99-acre Stover tract located at the end of Rt. 639 east of Amissville. “The necessary data submitted as the facility design plans satisfy the requirements of the Department of Waste Management for this permit to be issued,” wrote Berry F. Wright, technical services chief who has worked closely with the county through the long permitting process. Construction of the access road is already underway and the county will advertise this week and next for bids on the major portion of the development of the landfill itself, according to administrative assistant John McCarthy. “There’s a good possibility that we will be open early in July,” he said. That time table would beat expiration of the agreement with Culpeper County under which that neighboring jurisdiction is taking Rappahannock’s municipal solid waste for disposal in its landfill. “I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel!” Mr. McCarthy added. Approximately 8.6 acres identified as Phase I are covered by the permit, which specifies that the landfill is to be constructed and operated according to Joyce Engineering’s two reports, “Rappahannock County Sanitary Landfill Development and Operations Manual” and “Rappahannock County Sanitary Landfill Development Operations Manual Construction Specifications.” The permit directs that five monitoring wells on the site be sampled at least three times before landfilling operations begin. Subsequently, samples are to undergo comprehensive analysis for 34 parameters quarterly during the first year of operation. After that, the wells are to See PERMIT, p. 16 A tale of obsessive love — and consuming hate By LOU HATTER Him ftimma N«w»8UgWrt*» Cheryl Hart hasn’t yet written the atory of her experience, but she’s already decided on the title: “All for Love.” It is perfect, she said, for her tale of love and hate which began as a blind date eight years ago and ended in the death of her former common-law husband and kidnapper in a field in Old Hollow. Ms. Hart said that she and her son Cliarfie are l»aginning to get some rest after their ordeal ended Sunday, April 10 when her abductor, Charles Anthony Leaf II, was killed by an FBI marksman. Although the kidnapping was a terrifying experience, for Ms. Hart and her family ft was Just another episode in a two-year reign of terror by Leaf. “We ,, knew all along that this would happen * we last - know when. Artf. 'KWfiad ttte ltope thSt ft' frouldtt’t ' happen.” Ms. Hart related her experience during a telephone interview with the Rappahannock N*m «r: Monday. The story she told was one at a man who appai* ently loved her, and their son, but was unable to express his feelings. He never, she said, hi the five years they were together, ever expressed any affection, any love that he fett for her. “He never showed it. He felt that since he came home, to him that should show . \ love. : * “All those yews I gave my heart and soul... I tried everything to keep us together,” she said. His reply, Ms. Hart said, was “If you don't like it, there's the door. When I took it, he couldn’t handle it.” Leaf was, Ms. Hart said, a loner who “was never dose to his own family. He never felt he had any family. When we were together, me and his son were his family.” But while they were together, she continued, “I hardly ever saw him. He would come home from work, say Where’s my dinner?’, eat and go to bed ... He wouldn’t let me work, so I couldn’t do anything but wait all day.” Finally, she said, two years ago die looked at herself ami saw a 23-year-old woman asking “Where is ray life going?” That’s wham she left Leaf.’"*'"'*"-'-' -r y ,.“I don’t think,” Ms. HaCrtaakL “that if hereaBy thought about it, that be was happy either.” But apparently Leaf never really thought about the relationship. Abductions, beatings When she was given custody of the boy, Charles A, Leaf III, Leaf became enraged. Last March, he broke into Ms. Hart’s parents’ house, where she was living, and beat and choked her. She managed to escape to a neighbor’s house, where she called police and had him arrested. In June, 1967, he broke into the house again, while her parents were sleeping, and kidnapped the boy. Ms. Hart, who was working a nighttime job, thought her son was steeping in her parents’ room and didn’t discover he was missing until the next morning. I Although Ms. Hart didn’t recover the boy until just before Christmas, because of a mistake in court papers no charges were ever filed against Leaf for that abduction. The restraining order which was supposed to bear her name, her mother’s name and the ■ boy's name was filed with only Ms. Hart’s name, she said. The mistake was never rectified. Last August, Leaf abducted her and pistolwhipped her in an attempt to get her to surrender cusj tody of the boy. Then, in a expression of contrition, he > took her to the hospital for treatment of her injuries. "He believed that I would come back to him,” Ms. Hart explained. “Otherwise he would have killed me ’then.” Told Out the FBI had circulated a photograph of - her taken after that beating, Ms. Hart laughed as she replied, MI looked good in that picture. It was taken by my family over a week after the beating.” She said that the pictures taken by the police immediately after See KIDNAPPED, p. 5 J Familiar faces dominate Fodderstack race More than 250 runners braved the wind and cold on Saturday to challenge the Fodderstack Road, making the 10th running of the 10K Classic one of the largest fields ever. It was also the coldest day in memory, according to several observers who have attended all 10 races. One veteran remarked that although the winning times were not the fastest in the race’s history, overall the runners seemed to finish faster than in years past. April in Rappahannock is not known for predictable weather, but the predictions came true at the finish line. Tim Kearney, of Culpeper, took home his third straight title of first overall, finishing in a time of 33:30. Last year he finished three seconds faster. His time, however, was 2:04 slower than the course record set by Steve Pinard. Mr. Kearney was followed across the line in quick succession by James Alexander III (33:41) and Tom Weber (33:58). Although he shaved 45 seconds off his time from last year, Mr. Weber couldn’t match his second-place overall finish last year. And Frank Reynolds, who is reportedly considering an addition to his house to hold his Eva L. Smith Memorial trophies, took home the award for the first Rappahannock resident to finish for the ninth straight year. Nina Stamer won the women’s Smith award, beating former Smith Memorial winner Mary O’Meara by just over two minutes. In the women’s open division, Ruth Riemenschneider finished first overall in a time of 38:39, 1:07 off the course record of 37:32, held by Kim 4 Belyea of Winchester. Ms. Belyea did not race this year. The only wrinkle in Mr. Reynolds’ day came at the award ceremonies, when the presenters announced a bogus Smith Memorial winner. According to one bystander, Mr. Reynolds “just kind of melted” when the other name was announced, but kept silent. Those nearby heard him mumble “It’s wrong” under his breath, but he stoically kept his thoughts to himself. Rappahannock Newt phMot/Cindy Mahan PERENNIAL WINNER OF THE Smith Memorial, Frank Reynolds took home yet another addition to his trophy shelf. A NEW CHAMPION: Nina Stamer captured her first Eva L. Smith Memorial Award in the women’s division. When the gag was revealed, and Mr. Reynolds’ trophy presented, he was overheard to mutter “Hook, line and sinker” as he stepped happily from the stage. It appears that another perennial winner is developing in the younger age group. Mark Jenkins took home his third straight first place trophy in the 12 and under age class. He finished in 44:50, nearly four minutes faster than his time last year. Mark is already looking toward running The Fauquier Democrat 10K next month in Warrenton, where he also placed first in his class last year. He hopes to repeat this year, which will make five first place finishes in the last three years. Another Fodders tack tradition was resurrected this year, as Toni Massie and Jennifer Matthews pushed their newest family members in carriages for the entire race. They didn’t finish fast, but they finished, taking home the crown in the two-leg, four-wheel category. Matthew Eidson, a ninth grader at Rappahannock County High School, finished second in the Eva Smith division. With a time of 39:56, See FODDERSTACK, p. 11 RALLY clean-up plans on target for Saturday “Welcome the return of spring this year by joining fellow Rappahannock residents in the county’s annual Spring Beautification Day,” says Nina Stamer, the county’s litter clean-up coordinator. The effort is again being sponsored by RALLY, the Rappahannock Anti-Litter League and You, through a grant provided by the Virginia Division of Litter Control. The clean-up, innaugurated quite successfully last year, is scheduled for this Saturday, April 23, with a rain date set for next Saturday, April 30. The organizers request that volunteers plan to gather at the Rappahannock County Park on Rt. 211 just outside Washington at 10 a.m. to receive trash bags, safety vests and instructions on areas targeted for clean-up. Trash bags and vests, as last year, are being provided by the Virginia Department of Transportation. Mrs. Stainer suggested that participants wear long pants and sturdy shoes (not sneakers) and bring heavy work gloves. Volunteers are also encouraged to return to the park at 2 p.m. for refreshments, provided by Domino’s Pizza, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken of Front Royal, Baldwin’s Grocery, Hatch Natural Foods, The Inn at Little Washington, McDonald’s of Culpeper, Mountainside Market, Hillsdale Grocery, Maayhugh’s of Amissville, Ben Venue Market, Hackley’s Store, Old Hollow Grocery, The Sperryville Comer Store and Settle’s Grocery. See RALLY, p. 16 Dumpsters reported messiest in memory On the one side, there’s the good news: a permit has been issued and Rappahannock’s first county-owned and operated landfill is expected to open by early July. On the other side, there’s the bad news: the county’s present dumpster sites are more littered than ever with trash, adding unnecessary dollars to the county's solid waste disposal bill. “The dumpsters are getting increasingly difficult to police,” administrative assistant John McCarthy announced this week. Last Saturday at Huntly, a pick-up truck dumped several loads of cement chunks on the ground at the entrance to the site, completely blocking access to the green boxes, Mr. McCarthy reported. And at Amissville, bags of trash and loose waste material are being thrown out at the already full first dumpster rather than taken to the empty green boxes behind it, he added. “People aren’t willing to do the job right. It’s just laziness," Mr. McCarthy said. And the laziness is expensive. Traditionally, the county has needed about five hours every month from the trash contractor’s heavy equipment operator to clean up around the dumpsters. “Now, it’s almost double that. At $fiO an hour for the equipment and the operator, it’s just going to cost citizens on their tax bills,” Mr. McCarthy said. “I know the dumpster sites See DUMPSTERS, p. 16

Cycle safety courses offered The Virginia Rider Training Program is offering Virginia’s motorcyclists the opportunity to improve their riding skills and learn to avoid accidents through motorcycle rider training courses conducted around the state, a spokesman for the Department of Motor vehicles said. The program, established by DMV, is an effort to reduce the disproportionate number of motorcycle injuries and fatalities occurring on Virginia’s roadways. “Lack of rider skill and training is a key factor in many accidents involving motorcycles,” said DMV Commissioner Donald E. Williams. Motorcyle fatalities have decreased by 35 percent since the program was implemented in July 1985. There were 62 motorcycle fatalities in Virginia last year, compared with 96 in 1985. “This is a significant reduction, and one we hope is due, at least in part, to the Virginia Rider Training Program and its safety message,” Mr. Williams said. The curriculum for the Virginia Rider Training Program was developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF), a national, nonprofit organization. Courses are offered for beginning and experienced riders, and are taught by MSF-certified instructors. Training centers for the program currently are located in Northern Virginia, Winchester, Richmond, Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, Tidewater, Roanoke, and Bristol. Mr. Williams said other centers will be approved throughout the state when qualified programs are established. Looking for a bargain? Check the classifieds in Ufa ftappafjannockiletos.

DMV estimates 1,300 riders will be trained this year. Last year, 1,086 riders were trained. The Virginia Rider Training Program was established by the 1984 General Assembly and is funded by a $3 surcharge placed on motorcycle registration fees. Training centers are administered by DMV and usually are coordinated with the state community college system. The centers receive funding through the program to help keep tuition costs low. For beginning riders, the Motorcycle Rider Course offers riding and street strategies, basic street skills and practice on protected off-street driving ranges. Motorcycles and equipment are provided through participating dealers. The cost for the course is usually $25 to $50. Experienced riders may enroll in the Experienced Rider Course. The eight-hour course emphasizes countersteering, advanced riding techniques and street strategies. Tuition is about $15 to $35 at DMV-approved centers.

. Volunteers carry on rural tradition By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer In Rappahannock, people visit their sick neighbors, take those unable to drive shopping and to the doctor, help local public service agencies, and generally perform all the neighborly kindnesses long associated with rural life. Some of these good neighbors are Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) volunteers. The RSVP program in Rappahannock, says specialist Jeannie McNear, carries on a tradition that was already strongly in place. “Most of our volunteers do what they would be doing anyway,” she said. “They don’t really want recognition — they think of it as service that is necessary and requires everyone to do their part.” Jeannie lists dozens of volunteers, many of whom are active in more than one area. Sid and Margaret Gottlieb of Boston log many hours of RSVP work each month. Margaret helps at the Child Care and Learning Center, with the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) and with the local literacy program. “Our RSVP program offers many choices,” said Margaret. “Through it, I’m able to choose what I like to do, what I can do. There’s so much to be done, all important and rewarding. I guess my main reason is that I enjoy it.” Sid Gottlieb also volunteers his time for RAAC, and for the Hospice of the Rapidan, another RSVP assignment. “I have benefited so much - from the one-on-one contact in Hospice,” he explained. “You’re dealing with people at an awesome stage in their lives, but it’s a stage that we’ll all face. I’ve found an honesty and openness in the dying that I haven’t found anywhere else. It’s been an education for me, and a great source of personal learning.” Sid and Margaret both visit an elderly neighbor, bringing wood and water and helping with physical chores. The man was referred to RSVP and, in turn, referred to the couple. “With our regular little bit of assistance, this man can live like he wants to live,” said Sid. “He can be independent, stay in his home. For me, that’s what it’s all about.” Another Rappahannock volunteer, Gladys Havstad, specializes in one kind of service. She provides transportation from the county’s isolated hollows to nearby larger towns for errands, doctors’ visits, and hospital tests. “I’ve never been reluctant to go to strange homes or meet new people,” she said. “Many of the people I drive are under stress and I try to be a support while respecting their privacy.” Gladys started providing transportation several years ago when she “felt like I wasn’t doing anything for anyone but myself.” She pointed out that volunteering doesn’t obligate the volunteer to accept a certain assignment: ‘Wlien necessary, I just say no.” Other volunteers, like Alice Pullen, Anna Finchum and Barbara Gentry, help out at the meals served three times weekly at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. Others provide secretarial help to non-profit agencies, work with school programs and at the Rappahannock Historical Society. These and other RSVP volunteers throughout the five-county planning district were honored this week (National Volunteer Week) with a special luncheon in Culpeper. The local Community Services Center there is the sponsor for the volunteer program. RSVPs feasted, listeneu to live gospel music and released hundreds of hot-air balloons, joining thousands of other senior volunteers throughout the nation in celebrating a full life of service to their neighbors. And Mrs. McNear says that she has many other assignments for many interests. She can be reached at the Family Guidance Clinic at 6753329, at her home at 987-8150, or through the Culpeper office at 8258284. School Board previews ‘in-service’ film on AIDS It was the School Board’s turn to be educated last week as Superintendent David Gangel showed board members a film on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), the deadly virus that attacks the body’s immune system. The film, which Dr. Gangel said will be viewed by all the teachers in the county’s two public schools, features a doctor’s explanation in unsensational, matter-of-fact terms of the disease’s history, how it progresses, and how it is transmitted. The superintendent said repeatedly that this particular film is intended for instructional personnel and will not be shown to students. “It is a bit more blunt than those on the market for students,” he explained. The nation now faces two plagues: drugs and AIDS, Dr. Gangel said, adding that he will soon be bringing the School Board a communicable disease policy that ad dresses employees. In addition, he reported plans for an in-service informational program on legal issues for both administrators and School Board members. “It will cover AIDS policy, drug policy, search and seizure, and other issues in educational law.” He also noted that next month the School Board will receive an explanation of the new family life curriculum mandated by the General Assembly in its 1988 session. At meetings subsequent to the Superintendent’s presentation, the School Board will seek “community input” on this new program, Chairman Beverly Massie added. Also at last week’s meeting, the School Board: • saw a slide and narration program by seventh graders on the annual class trip to Williamsburg and presented teacher Lynne Baines with a plaque recognizing her 16 years of work in developing this four-day educational field trip. • approved a letter to Anne Stephens, director of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, thanking the organization for its “significant contributions” to the cultural awareness of students and its “partnership with the schools in educational ventures.” • approved a letter to the Rappahannock Lions Club, thanking that service organization for the donation of two score boards for the new high school gymnasium. • authorized Dr. Gangel to prepare a list of priority items relating to the RCHS capital outlay project to present to the Board of Supervisors for funding with the $30,000 estimated to remain in the school account at the end of the fiscal year. • held a long executive session to consider teachers’ contracts for the coming year. Parent Wayne Smoot asked for information on how Rappahannock can go about establishing a vocational program here in the county. Criticizing the arrangement whereby Rappahannock students are bussed to Piedmont Vocational Education Center in Culpeper for vocational classes and to other school divisions for special education programs, he said: “We pay our taxes here. I feel like our kids should go to school here and not be sent all over the world.” Mr. Smoot also challenged the School Board’s decision to “dismiss” a non-tenured teacher without giving the teacher reasons why a con-1 tract is not being offered for next year. He said the teacher had done “a fine job, not just for my son but for all the other kids she taught.” The School Board declined to discuss what was termed “a personnel issue.” However, Dr. Gangel offered to meet with Mr. Smoot to answer questions regarding the special education and vocational programs.

Sally Nash to speak on artists’ creative process The guest' speaker for the April program of Monday Night Alternatives, presented by the Rappahannock County Library and RAAC, will be choreographer and dancer Sally Nash. Using video excerpts from past performances and demonstration by dancers from the Last Minute Wood Company, Ms. Nash will explain the creative process and the craft of choreography. Ms. Nash, who has had extensive training in dance technique and has performed with many professional companies, has found, she says, her most satisfying role as director of the Last Minute Wood Company which she founded in 1977. The unusual name of the company refers to the hard task of scrounging up fire wood during cold county winters. The company is made up of potters, carpenters, fruit pickers, stone masons, and gardeners; the incorporation of their daily movements and life stories in original dance-drama gives this group its unique style. Ms. Nash has said, “There’s something about working with someone who still has character of their movement (that I think might be destroyed by developing complete range) that really inspires me. It really gives me something to work off of.” The program will be presented at the Gay Street Theater Monday, April 25, at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free. A reception will follow the program at the Rappahannock County Library. ❖ •fr ■fr •fr •fr * <• * •fr •» •fr * * •fr •fr •fr •fr •> •fr <» •fr •fr •fr •fr •fr T rxvVVVVVV VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV%*VVVVVVVVVVVVV“.M 7?ie family of Charles W.

APRIL 21.1988 Editorials Let’s get it together Administrative assistant John McCarthy said this week that the county’s dumpster sites are the messiest they have been in recent memory. He called the problem the result of “laziness.” There’s certainly truth to that characterization, but to it could be added “lack of pride in community,” “lack of concern for others,” as well as a few choice adjectives and other bits of speech not suitable for publication. Actually, it’s disgusting. No one, certainly, enjoys visiting the dumpster sites. It becomes a particularly onerous (and odorous) task as the temperature rises, and with it the vapors wafting from those ripe bags which have been sitting in the sun as the inevitable trip is postponed for yet another day. However, those trips to the dumpsters are one of the inconveniences of living in the country. The alternative is door-to-door collection, a luxury which would be welcomed by the contractor chosen to provide the service, but which would probably not meet with favor among the county’s taxpayers. It's just not economically feasible. Last year, a huge stink arose when the Board of Supervisors proposed that the present system of dumpsters scattered throughout the county be abandoned. That plan would have forced residents to travel to the county’s landfill in Amissville to dispose of their garbage. For people living in Slate Mills, or Boston, the thought of a half-hour drive to the landfill had them, understandably, crying “foul!” So, the board dumped the idea, and for now it appears that the dumpster sites will stay. But if the present mess continues, it’s perhaps only a question of time before their removal will be proposed again. It would, after all, be the one sure solution to the problem. And, as Mr. McCarthy pointed out, the mess costs everyone money. If the money spent on heavy equipment to clean it up is doubled from $300 to $600 per month, in one year that’s $3,600 wasted — money which could have been put to better use elsewhere. But if for no other reason, shouldn’t pride in the beauty of our county cause everyone to think twice before heaving that bag without regard for whether it lands in the dumpster? Those sites, as much as our mountains, are part of the scenic “beauty” of Rappahannock which visitors to the county carry home with them. And for those stubborn few who still don’t get the point, perhaps they will heed Mr. McCarthy’s last suggestion: that witnesses to their slovenly behavior report them to the Sheriffs Department. Maybe the only remedy which will get their attention is a citation for illegal dumping. With the cooperation of Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke and General District Court Judge Charles Foley, the stiffest possible fines and some community service hours (preferably spent cleaning up the sites) may lead even the slobs who make the dumpsters so unpleasant to understand that the county is serious about getting this problem under control. RALLY ’round the clean-up Speaking of cleaning up messes around the county, this Saturday marks the Rappahannock Anti-Litter League and You’s second foray into the field to battle the winter’s litter accumulation. The organizers are hoping for a turnout larger than last. year’s. We hope they’re right. It’s a worthwhile effort, though sometimes the scope of the litter problem makes it seem insurmountable. It just never seems to disappear. On week, a stretch of highway is cleaned and the next week someone thoughtlessly dumps a bag of garbage. The beautiful job is undone in one careless act. In one sense, that’s quite true. As long as some people feel that the world outside their car window, or campsite, or property is their trash can, there will always be a litter problem. But on the other hand, the more involved people get with cleaning up the litter, the less likely they will be to add to the problem. And perhaps, if those watching see their friends and neighbors spending their Saturday picking up other people’s garbage, they will think twice before adding their litter It’s going to take a long time to erase the bad habits built up through years of thoughtlessness. But RALLY, with the cooperation of a number of individuals, groups and businesses, is making an effort. That’s important.

Letters to the editor Thanks from the Harts To the editor: Our family wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude and deepest appreciation to the FBI, the Virginia State Police, the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department, the Rangers of Shenandoah National Park, the U.S. Park Police, the volunteers from Rappahannock County’s fire and rescue companies, and the doctors and nurses at Culpeper Memorial rfospital. It was your untiring efforts during endless days and sleepless nights which made Charlie’s and my rescue possible. Our gratitude goes also to the many concerned residents who gave their time and who called with their support and prayers. We thank each and every one of you. CHERYL, CHARLIE AND THE HART FAMILY Trumbull, Conn. Herbicide use is our responsibility 10 me euaor: Last year, I wrote a “Letter to the Editor” addressing the issue of herbicide use in the county. I was hoping to get any kind of response, but got none. As months pass, the greenery along the roadsides will be dead once again and the air will be rank as you drive by. Increased residency will only promote more herbicide use to keep that “clean” look. The compromise of the use of these toxins is being ignored until it is too late, and our groundwater is contaminated. We are living in a time when this issue must be addressed or we will no longer be able to drink what we all consider as some of the best water available. We as individuals feel we can’t change much in the way of worldly issues, but everyone can change their personal way of promoting clean living. It must become a personal issue, one of the small things each person can do to affect the whole. Agriculture chemicals will continue to be available. Until people acknowledge their personal responsibility with regard to saving the land and begin to compromise a few weeds, the land does not stand a chance in the decades to come. People have a choice in the products they use, and products change with demand. We all must start somewhere. We are not totally helpless, however bleak it may appear to be. And human nature is such that one can do much more than is believed possible when action must take place or our lives are at stake. It’s time to look at this issue in those terms. I ask you, with the multitude of issues in your life, that this one not be completely ignored. ... Or bottled waters will become big business in this county, as they have in most other areas. ANDREA KLOPP Sperryville Special quality at WMH io me editor: For nearly twenty years, I have experienced the special quality of kindness and caring that Warren Memorial Hospital gives those of us to whom it ministers in the community. Now that I am moving elsewhere, I want to make that experience a matter of record. Too often we take this unique resource for granted, assuming that all hospitals are the same - which they are not. Since my late husband and I retired to Warren County in 1969, there were few months in which one or the other of us did not require some form of care, either as inpatient or outpatient. Our needs were j always met whether it was a sudden trip to the emergency room or a critical period on the respirator. As hospitals go in size, Warren Memorial Hospital is, of course, among the smaller group; but in excellence and range of patient care, I have known no other comparable facility so tailored and adaptable to the particular needs of my family. Indeed, I would not be alive had there not always been such an immediate response through the Rescue Squad and emergency room to my acute respiratory problem. Nor could my husband have survived his sustained needs in a large city hospital geographically distant from our home. Here in the Shenandoah Valley, at Warren Memorial Hospital, my husband and I always knew we were part of a caring family community which helped us even as we tried to help each other. That is part of our American heritage and history and I am dedicated to do whatever I can, wherever I am, to keep Warren Memorial Hospital, its staff, its volunteers, and its values an integral and effective community resource. MAE MILLS LINK Front Royal Iniormation wanted To the editor: Can any reader please tell me the burial place of Allen Wyley (Wiley), the great old Baptist minister who died in Rappahannock County in 1813? The foundations of his home are said to have been 1.5 miles south of Flint Hill on the Battle Run Road. It is also said that the Baptist pastor’s home in Flint Hill was built of its stones. Please reply to William S. Simpson Jr., 7605 Hollins Road, Richmond, Va. 23229. WILLIAM S. SIMPSON JR. Richmond A fun Fodderstack! To the editor: As your readers know, the 10th running of the Fodderstack Classic was held this past Saturday with continued success. As one of the race organizers, I wish to express my personal thanks and appreciation to everyone who offered so generously of his/her time. It is very gratifying to have so much support from such a broad segment of the community. Special thanks are due to the rescue squads of Sperryville, Washington and Flint Hill, Wakefield School, RAAC, Sheriff Woodward and his department, the Rappahannock News and our sponsors, who are listed elsewhere and given separate recognition in today’s paper. We had fun! Thanks again to everyone. DIANE BRUCE Washington For safety’s sake build the 4-lane 1 o the editor: The beauty, quiet and relative privacy available to the residents of Rappahannock County are as important to us as to anyone. Friends who have managed to find our home some 1.75 miles off Highway 211 near Sperryville can testify to that. Safety is also a concern. There are ten residences on our right of way, seven used full time, three usually on weekends. (I have not discussed this with, nor do these comments claim to reflect the views of, our neighbors.) Whenever someone enters Rt. 211 from our lane going west, it is risky. The same is true when turning off 211; other drivers often crowd and occasionally pass despite the double yellow lines. We need the highway enlarged to four lanes, not for occasionally busy spring and fall weekends but for every day safety. Our entrance is not the only risky one. Some have written and spoken of the increased danger to Rappahannock students if Rt. 211 were expanded to four lanes where it passes school entrances. One wonders if this concern is based on evidence or on convenient conjecture. In Madison County there exists almost an exact model; Rt. 29, with four lanes and carrying much more traffic than Rt. 211, passes two schools just west of Madison. Discussions with people involved with their schools turned up no problems or accidents in a situation similar to what Rappahannock County would have following completion of the proposed work. One Madison County resident said that conditions have been safer there for school buses and cars since Rt. 29 was widened to four lanes. Rather than concern over imag-*3* ined dangers, opponents of the high- * way improvement should recall recent deaths at the Covington •, River and the Rappahannock Co-op. - * The planned widening of Rt. 211 will make it safer for everyone who uses , . it. Even so, as a strong supporter of balanced budgets, I would be willing . to delay the planned improvement if' we were assured that the fundswould be returned to the U.S. Trea- , sury and used to reduce the deficits. ^ That will not happen: the money will' be spent on other highway needs, of which there are always more than1’' there are available funds. As Ameri—■' cans we’d be no better off; as users ir , of Rt. 211 we’d be still in danger. If/..; Highway Department engineers, examining state-wide needs, consider _ this work worthy, we should give * them credit for their expertise. ,1 ! Nor does this short, approxi- * | mately four miles, widening- "1 { threaten the character of our { county. The National Park and the | National Forest will continue to be j bottlenecks along Rt. 211. Four additional miles of four lanes will not,,, suddenly draw people to use Rt. 211 j rather than 1-66 or Rt. 29 to reach I- ’/ ! 81 and points west. j To summarize: the proposed road •;j improvement will not threaten the .v { beauty and quiet of Rappahannock - ; County. Abandoning it will not save r- 1 tax monies. Doing it will improve ‘ the safety of a now dangerous - • stretch of Rt. 211. It should be com- ! pleted as planned, and our supervi- ’• | sors should be told that you agree. ; JOHN L. MAROCCHI. ■ • Sperryville !

Kidnapped Continued from Page 1 "".fere much worse. “I looked like I was in a horror movie.” Finally, Leaf was arrested just before Christmas when he and the boy went to a Christmas party at his construction site. In the melee which ensued when police attempted to arrest Leaf, one of the workers snatched the boy and fled. Two days later, the boy was dropped off at the Shelton, Conn, police station. Although police were told that the boy was found wandering on a street, Ms. Hart said, “we know that the person who brought him to the police station was a friend of Charlie’s.” Tired of running Because of the threats Leaf had made against her and her family, Ms. Hart spent some time last year in hiding, living with friends. She was unsure that Leaf would not kidnap her again and probably, this time, kill her. “I lived in fear,” she said. “Switching jobs, picking up and starting over - I’ve done that a lot in the past two years.” She called her decision to end the relationship with Leaf “the hardest in my life.” But, she feels that she did the right thing, and always had “hope that he would move on with his life.” After Leaf was arrested and her son was returned to her, Ms. Hart moved into her parents’ home in Trumbull, Conn. She said she “kept going to court to tell them how dangerous he is.” Despite her testimony, she watched as his bond on kidnapping, possession of a weapon without a permit and other charges from the December melee was reduced from $130,000 to $75,000 and he was released from custody on bail. Leaf had been free on bond for only a month when, on March 31, he falsified the purchase slip for a Mar lin 9mm carbine. About 4 a.m. on Good Friday, April 1, he broke into Ms. Hart’s parents’ home and kidnapped her and the boy. “I knew it was going to happen,” Ms. Hart said. “He had talked about this for the last two years. His friends said all he wanted was his son. But after running for six months last year, I just couldn’t do it anymore.” Leaf - or no one Ms. Hart said that police in Connecticut were told that Leafs plan was to kill her the night of the abduction. He forced her to pack clothes for herself and Charlie, then made her crawl to her parents room (they were out of town) while the baby still slept in her room. “The police said that he had it all planned -he just couldn’t kill me that night.” So Leaf put them into the car he had taken from his girlfriend, the Chevrolet Nova which would eventually be discovered by the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department after Leaf abandoned it in Old Hollow. “I don’t think he knew where he was going,” Ms. Hart said. “He looked at maps when we stopped for gas. At one point, he talked about going to Tennessee. That’s why we went that way.” Ms. Hart said that she did what Leaf told her to do for fear for her safety, and that of her son. “I knew that he wouldn’t hurt us as long as I didn’t make him angry — as long as I went along with what he said and did.” And Leaf fed them and kept them warm, she said. “All he wanted was to live his life with me and his son.” Ms. Hart said that she kept thinking of ways she could escape, but was afraid Leaf would catch her and kill her. “I wouldn’t leave my son with him. I had already lived six months without him, and I would not do it again.” She decided to try and wait Leaf out - attempt to gain his confidence in the hope that later he would make a mistake that would allow her to escape with Charlie. “I thought that first week that he was testing me.” She said that she was afraid that he had rigged the gun with an empty clip, or had the safety on, which she didn’t know how to operate. Then, “he could get the gun back and use it on me.” And always, in the back of her mind, was the thought that ‘VI got away he would come back to Connecticut. It wouldn’t be over until he got me. I knew that my family couldn’t handle that.” The plan goes awry It was in Old Hollow that Leafs plan began to unravel. Ms. Hart said that he wanted to ditch the Nova, steal another car and keeR going. On Saturday, April 2, Ruby Dwyer had asked Leaf to move the car, which was parked on her property. Leaf agreed, telling Mrs. Dwyer that his son had wanted to play in the stream. That night, they abandoned the car and slept in what Ms. Hart described as an old house used as a shed. On Sunday, they got food and * cigarettes from the car. Later, Ms. Hart said, Leaf planned to return to Mrs. Dwyer’s house, tie her up and steal her money and car. Ms. Hart was able to talk him out of the plan by producing some money she had hidden in her wallet. With that Leaf bought groceries at Old Hollow Grocery. Then he took the identification numbers off the car and they walked into the woods. After the Nova was discovered, Leaf made several attempts to steal another car, Ms. Hart said, but was always scared away when dogs started barking. “Luckily, everyone around there has dogs - they should give them an extra bone.” Laurel Hill cattle sale asuccess Laurel Hill held the first production! sale of Tarentaise cattle on the Eastern Seaboard on Saturday, March 12, at Culpeper Enterprises.

Almost everyone present was an active bidder, indicating that the Virginia farmer and cattleman are looking for innovative ways to improve their beef production. The sale was expertly conducted by Jeff Marsh, auctioneer with Blue Ridge Auction Associates, a spokesman for the sale said.

She told of being able to see “two farms, green hills and cows.” In the late afternoon, she said, one of the farmers would go outside and call his cows, “and the cows would respond with a chorus of ‘Moos.’ It went on for a half-hour.” Young Charlie, she said, was kept happy and quiet playing with the toys Leaf had allowed her to bring along for him. In the bag, she had also brought his Easter basket, so when he awoke Sunday morning, “the Easter Bunny had visited.” Tuesday night, Leaf took them with him when he walked to Rt. 211 to burglarize Old Hollow Grocery.

The other side of the stoiy is sad. The father had also written in his diary about that same day: “Went fishing with my son A day wasted.” , Let’s give the ambassador benefit of the doubt: perhaps they caught no fish and that accounted for his evaluation, "A day wasted.” Yet. the purpose of going fishing with one’s son is not to catch fish!

Broccoli a cornucopia of health mjj oi-viiuivn iv. Extension A#ent. Home Economics Since 1975, the consumption of - broccoli per capita has tripled, according to the United States Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service. For years the true taste and appeal of broccoli could not be realized because it was more often than not overcooked, thus robbing it of the delightful texture and flavor it possesses. In 1775, John Randolph is said to have written in “A Treatise on Gardening by a Citizen of Virginia” that “the stems will eat like asparagus and the heads like cauliflower.” Broccoli is good for you for a va nety ot reasons. It is an excellent source of vitamin A which helps maintain good night vision, healthy skin, and gives the body extra protection against infection. Citrus fruits don’t have exclusive rights to vitamin C. Broccoli, in fact, has more vitamin C than orange juice. This valuable nutrient must be consumed daily since the body is not able to store any excess. Vitamin C helps the body to resist infection, regulate body functions, and most importantly, improves iron absorption. Consequently, it is a good idea to eat broccoli with red meats so the vitamin C and iron from these two iwuj' w ui iv tugeuiei as a team. Increasing emphasis continues to be placed on fiber in the diet. Fiber is the part of food that is not digested by the body. This undigested fiber helps to quickly move digested food through the gastrointestinal tract, reducing the risk of disease. Broccoli is an excellent source of dietary fiber and is recommended by the American Cancer Society as a food that may reduce the risk of cancer. That alone is a great reason to eat broccoli. To determine the amount of yield a pound of fresh broccoli equals, the following table may help: Yields: 1 pound of fresh broccoli equals 5-6 cups florets and sliced stems, or 5 cups chopped broccoli, or 4 cups finely chopped or diced broccoli, or 4 cups pureed raw in a food processor, or 3 cups cooked and pureed. Broccoli-Filled Chicken Breasts is a great “company dish” that is quick to make and pretty to serve. Broccoli-Filled Chicken Breasts 2 cups finely chopped broccoli 4 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup chopped scallions with some green tops 1 cup ricotta cheese 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind 4 teaspoons lemon juice Salt and white pepper 4 whole boneless chicken breasts with skins Approximately 1 cup chicken broth 2 tablespoons all-purpose unbleached flour Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Steam the broccoli until it is barely bright green and tender crisp, 2-3 minutes. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter, and saute the scallions until limp. Combine the broccoli, scallions, ricotta, lemon rind, and 3 teaspoons of the lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Divide the chicken breasts in half to make 8 portions. Peel back the skin and spoon in some filling.

Brush the top of the chicken with 1 tablespoon melted butter and bake for 50-55 minutes. Drain and reserve the liquid from the chicken breasts and keep them warm. Add enough chicken broth to the liquid to equal 2 cups. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the flour to form a smooth paste. Pour in the chicken broth, a little at a time, stirring well after each addition to prevent lumps fj-om forming. Season the sauce with the remaining 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Slice the breasts and arrange on a serving platter to make neatly overlapping 1/2-inch slices or leave the breasts whole. Then pour the sauce over the chicken and serve. Broccoli and Clam Pie with Saffron Sauce is a custard-like dish featuring chopped, blanched broccoli and blended with eggs and cream, steamed clams (mussels also do nicely) and seasonings. It is served with wedges with a small portion of the Saffron Sauce.

Fodderstack Continued from Page 1 he was two minutes behind Mr. Reynolds’ 37:55. Though Panther standout Marley Hay was unable to break Mr. Reynolds’ Smith Memorial streak, Matthew may be the next contender for the crown. He was followed across the line by Sam Dwyer for the third place Smith Memorial trophy, in a time of 42:48. Christine Sims, who finished second in the divison last year, took home the third place Smith trophy this year with a time of 47:20. A special award was presented to Diane Bruce, who marked her 10th year as one of the race’s principal organizers. She and former County Clerk Eva L. Smith were two of the event’s early backers. For many years, they and a loyal cadre of volunteers shouldered the burden of the race’s promotion, earmarking the proceeds for the Rappahannock Recreation Authority, which administers the Rappahannock County Park. This year, the race gained a cosponsor in the Child Care and Learning Center, but Ms. Bruce continued her labors as the event’s de facto director, indoctrinating a new crew of volunteers, as well as renewing the dedication of the old hands. One of the new volunteers, Washington’s Mayor Dean Morehouse, had high praise for Ms. Bruce’s efforts both this year and over the past decade. “I want the world to know that this event could not have happened without her. Diane, you’re one terrific lady!” Ms. Bruce was presented with a plaque at the awards ceremony, recognizing her contribution over the race’s 10 years. Mr. Morehouse added that he was “really pleased to work with her, and with the terrific group of volunteers which assembled to take care of the myriad small details in the weeks before the event. It was a terrific group, the volunteers, the sponsors, the racers.” “I was glad,” Mr. Morehouse said, “to see the community rally around the race and make it happen” when a plea went out during the winter for sponsors. At that point it was unclear whether the race would be run, but volunteers stepped forward to pick up the reins and the 10th running of the Fodderstack Classic made the third weekend in April, as always, a Saturday to remember. That was particularly true for the runners, who left the Courthouse with the memory of the course’s hills deeply engraved in their minds. Asked if there were any memorable moments at the finish line, one of the volunteers manning the scoresheets quipped, “They were all panting too hard to say anything — memorable or not.” The top finishers in each division, and their times, follow: MEN Open Tim Kearney 33:30 James Alexander III 33:41 Tom Weber 33:58 12 & under Mark Jenkins 44:50 YOU CAN AFFORD A NEW BRICK HOME!

Rappahannock Journal Those silken tents are not Gypsy Moths By BUCK KLINE Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer The Department of Forestry notes that April is time for nests of the familiar and unwelcome eastern tent caterpillar to appear in apple, crabapple, and cherry trees. This is not to be confused with the gypsy moth, which does not build tents that look like cobwebs. Egg masses like small, oblong pieces of dark brown styrofoam stay wrapped around twigs from late summer through winter. They hatch from mid to late March, about the time of bud break, and tiny caterpillars pour out to build a* nest and search for food. When they are not eating foliage, they congregate in the nest. This thick silk shelter is expanded as they grow larger and wander further to find leaves. Each caterpillar trails a silk thread as it moves. Heavily infested trees become leafless silkbound skeletons until the insects depart and replacement leaves develop. Some time in May, four to six weeks after hatching, full grown caterpillars start searching for places to spin the yellowish-white cocoons in which they transform into brown pupae. Cocoons are spun in any protected place on infested trees, nearby vegetation, debris or buildings. In late May and June, mediumsized, brown moths emerge from cocoons. After mating, the female moth deposits her mass of up to 350 eggs on the twig of a favored tree, boon she dies, and her eggs sit for nine months or so before the next generations emerges. Without leaves to make food, defoliated trees have to draw on reserve energy to produce new foliage in June. This can leave them weak and susceptible to additional stress factors, but healthy trees recover quickly. When prize trees get defoliated, it usually helps to fertilize them late that fall. Protection of a few trees is simple, especially if they are small. To begin with, you have most of the year to find and destroy egg masses. In case you miss some, start looking for silk to appear on branches about the time that leaf buds open. As soon as nests appear, wait until they are occupied - in early morning or during cold, wet weather — and remove the caterpillars. l0 Oeduc^b'epo’nt*mentintefest • ■ ' ' (l2ai——— you ' onunel4b) ■ P; ■ neamount-' one of more to »«* r^tvoo Bf« rtions 0n l>ne 1401 ■ No Gosing Cost Extended Through May 15 Thanks to recent federal legislation, you can now deduct all the interest paid on home equity loans of $100,000 or less. * And with the government rapidly reducing the deductibility of other types of loans, a home equity loan makes even more sense.

Scattered directions, intimate connections By JIM WINE Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer The current offering at the Middle Street Gallery is a group show of Gallery Artists and Friends. I urge you to go and see it. It is a unique, and so far yearly, opportunity for us to take a measure of our world, near and far, through the engaging and talented eyes of local artists and their friends from around the region, the nation and the world. Group shows have a character all their own. And this one is no exception. Its uniqueness stems from the fact that no grand theme was set out by which the works would be selected. The show is an open and diverse collection of artists connected simply by the fact of their friendships. Walking through the three rooms, you take in a dazzling array of styles, techniques, subjects and visions. The mind leaps from wall to wall, work to work, liie variety can, at first, be only a hodge-podge which could serve to distract or confuse you. You get, at best, a glimpse or fragment of a particular artist’s work. This can be frustrating. You always want more of what you like and understand. But that is not the point of group shows, particularly this one. It is important for the gallery-goer to look for the connections between these artists and their works. After all, they share a common ground - visual expression - and they are friends. An entire community of artists is brought together through individual points of contact. This presents a metaphor for a variety of communities, from our own to, ideally, the world itself: Whether it is a local 4th of July celebration or the world anguishing over the fate of seven astronauts, suddenly each one of us, through shared acts, beliefs, or circumstances, belongs to each other. The show is filled with intriguing and beguiling moments. You peer into a nostalgic television console by Rex Slack; you see but can hardly believe petals belying their real weight in metal created by Nol Putnam; you try to make meaning out of a sculpture’s pure form which cannot hold its contents; you meet the eyes of loved ones, living and dead; you experience another side to the faces of the Soviet Union through photographs by Edik Gladkov; you catch a goat feeding minutely painted by Marbet Wolfson; you are challenged by Joel Moyer’s masks and emblems of profound ritual in connection with the Mother God; and you gaze into landscapes as drama, as abstraction, as pure imminence by Frank Merrera, Deborah Singleton, Steve Griffin, Margaret Novak and Laurie Marshall. There are strong and serious things in this show, yet not without irony and even whimsey. (Check out the cop in your mirror, photographed by David Roehler.) Each work in its own way questions how and what we see. In many of these works you find the sense of something just missed, someone just lost. The closed eyes of a mother bowed so close to the wan and lifeless visage of her young son. The line between them is both distinct and blurred. Where one ends the other begins. You feel as through you are intruding, peering into the most private, the most desperate of moments, painted by Alexei Afonin, brother of the young man in the portrait. You turn away. It is very quiet. In a small, delicate watercolor by Dan Lewis, a broom is left leaning by an open door. There’s a calm, swept clean air about. It’s called “After The Fall.” It has that “it’s over” feeling of autumn. It lifts you. And then just some faint tracks in the snow painted by Eva Wine. (The goat’s on the other wall?) Something living has passed. It has left its mark, a trace which, in some way, we all follow. Perhaps to the superbly composed photograph, “Zabriskie Point,” by Cynthia Mahan — the lowest point in Death Valley. You are looking, as the photographer looked, at people looking out over the des-ert, people with their own cameras, waiting. Waiting to see something. Something coming. Or are they, and you, too late? What is it you need to see? % This particular room is domi-^ nated by a remarkable portrait by Robin Purnell, remarkable for it is" said to be only a sketch for a more complex study, which seemingly could be only a life itself. Portraits have a way of confounding time, of defeating death. The eyes are onceand always. They look straight across to the eyes that once were and are no more. This is the task of the contempo-^ rary artist. To remind us that one' day we will be no more. And then to' keep this from us for awhile, hiding it in the power, the faith, and beauty that is always in the time of a work of art. Returned to us in the sudden impact of this life - mine, yours, and ours - and the lives which came - before us and will come after us. Special attention is merited by those who hung the show thought--* fully and provocatively. Some exam-* pies: David Roehler, Dan Lewis, Laurie Marshall and Joel Hoyer. « You peer through a sculpture by'f Jeanne Drevas of ivy trellised to i protect the cool of a blue cavity wait- * ing to be filled as though it were a private pool against the garish sun, • the harsh world. "' You turn to stare into another in- ■> viting place, a vintage TV, itself as a‘ - medium having become an escape1 from so much in our lives. Only this •” time the tube turns on you. The • work by Rex Slack is called “Night Train” and it is a wonderfully con-"'* ceived piece. You are drawn through the screen into a living room in which a woman stares not at her TV,--* which appears to be on the fritz, but-'J through her picture window at a.,c train. One form of flight from reality ’* to another. ' .1 But if there is a heart to this "* show, it is likely “The Peak, Easter , ^ 1988,” by Laurie Marshall.

A sense of overwhelming solitude * countered by the emblems and spirit > of the communion. And out of loss, _ ' renewal.

After the search Thursday night failed, Ms. Hart said that they spent Friday in the bam, watching the activity outside through a crack in the barn’s wall. On Friday night, Leaf broke into the house through a back window. They bathed and slept in beds for the first time in a week, Ms. Hart remembered. On Saturday, they looked out in silence as a farmer plowed a nearby field, she said. Ms. Hart washed their clothes. When the truck carrying the tactical team which was to search the house arrived, Ms. Hart said Leaf thought it was hunters coming to use the place for the weekend. “He planned to hold them up and take their truck and their money,” she said. As the three huddled in the master bedroom upstairs, they listened as the police found cigarettes and some change Leaf had left in the barn’s loft. “We heard them talking to each other as they decided to go into the house.” The beginning of the end Once the agents were inside, Ms. Hart said, Leaf waited until the first one started upstairs and stuck the gun around the comer. He yelled and told him to back off. The agents did, she said. Then, the standoff began. She said that Leaf had her sit in front of him in the bedroom door, with Charlie sitting in front of her. Later, he, moved them back into the room, against the wall where he could watch the door. After dark, Leaf shot out one of the upstairs lights, which accounted for two of the three rounds fired, Ms. Hart said. Later, he asked for a flashlight to be shone on the stairwell so he could see shadows if anyone attempted to come up the stairs. At another point, as the negotiations dragged on, Leaf fired a shot into the wall and made Ms. Hart and Charlie stay completely quiet. “He hoped to scare them,” she said. A death wish On Sunday morning, after breakfast had been delivered, Ms. Hart said that Leaf told the negotiator that “this is it,” She recalled that he began ranting and told them “he would begin beating her until the police rushed upstairs shooting. Then, the baby would be by his side and when they shot him, they would shoot Charlie too.” That was the threat he made unless the police agreed to his demand to have the FBI helicopter sitting in the field in front of the house fly them out. The negotiator said he would have to ask permission from his su pervisor to grant the demand, and finally told Leaf they agreed. Then, Ms. Hart said, they waited again while agents located the tent and brought out Charlie’s toys and other items which Leaf had made them leave behind. He had planned to return to get them, Ms. Hart said, but was unable to because of the search. Later, Ms. Hart said, the negotiator told her that the police called the tent “Disneyland East,” because of the toys and the Easter basket they found. The negotiator kept talking, she recalled, telling them exactly what would happen. The FBI wanted two pilots, but Leaf insisted on only one. The agent said the team inside the house would leave by the bade door, and Leaf could come out in his own time. Leaf 8 last walk With the ties from a bathrobe, Leaf tied his son onto his back. Ms. Hart was in front of him, the carbine to her head and a hunting knife to her throat when they left the bedroom upstairs, she said. “We started walking, slowly, downstairs and onto the front porch. Then we went down the driveway, and had to hop a fence into the field. As we went toward the helicopter, he saw marksmen hidden in the woods, and he pointed them out.” Then, she said, came “the minute which seemed to last forever.” When the helicopter lifted off before they reached it, Ms. Hart remembers Leaf saying, “Kitten, this is it” “I was praying,” she said, “I said, ‘God, I can deal with it.’ I was waiting for the bullet, and it didn’t come.” The wind from the helicopter’s rotor knocked her off balance, and she squatted down. “I heard a thump, and looked around and saw Charles and Charlie lying on the ground. The baby looked unconscious. “They (FBI agents) told me to run, and then they tackled, searched and handcuffed me. They explained why as they did it — it was for their protection — they didn’t know if I had a weapon or if I was helping him.” Other agents took Charlie to the end of the field, where Ms. Hart’s handcuffs were removed and they were reunited. Then they were whisked to the command post at the Sperryville Fire Hall, and finally to Culpeper Memorial Hospital for a medical examination. There, a doctor diagnosed two fractures in Ms. Hart’s noee. On Monday, she ^aid, she was to see a dentist in Connecticut for a possible fractured jaw. ‘It had to end this way’ Ms. Hart said she felt that the FBI had no choice in the way they handled the situation. “They tried and tried, and they knew and I knew that he would not give up. He would not go back to jail. He would not let me live my own life. It had to end this way — either both of us or one of us dead.” She added that, “If Charlie had his way, not only would he and me and maybe little Charlie be dead but he would have taken some police officers with him. That’s what he said he would do.” Ms. Hart said that Leaf threatened to kill himself, her and young Charlie, “but at the end didn’t threaten to kill his son. He said that the police would. He couldn’t do it — but he would have his son by his side — so someone else would.” Leaf, she said, “had a lot of friends but was never a happy person. Maybe he’s at peace now.” As a man who she described as “always against the law,” Ms. Hart imagined he might even have a smile on his face. In his bizarre view of the world, she said, “it took the best to take him out.” As to whether drugs or alcohol contributed to his problems, Ms. Hart said that he drank and smoked pot, but she didn’t put the blame for Leafs actions on that. “A lot of people drink and they don’t do this. ’’ ‘Never have to run again' Ms. Hart said that she’s “still trying to sort through her relationship with Leaf. One thing she knows, she said, “is that I’ll never have to run again.” As for herself, Ms. Hart said she plans to get settled. Right now, she said, she’s got “nothing but bills.” She’s looking for work, and planning eventually to move to her own place, to support herself and her son. “I can’t wait for that day.” And although she’s left with almost nothing, Ms. Hart was philosophical about her situation. “God will provide. He will give you what you need. There may be a lot that you want that you don’t get, but He will give you what you need.” She says that she’s learned a lot in the past two years, “that you’ve got to learn to take care of yourself. I have a lot of work still to do — a long way to go — I’ve got to know that I can make it on my own." Now, she’s trying to help her family rid themselves of the hate they have developed for Leaf since they split up. “It hurts, but now we’re trying to remember the good times. We know that at one time he loved me very much.” And for her family, she expressed the love which comes from going through a terrifying experience and finding them right there, ready to comfort and support. “When it comes down to it, and you need them, they’re the first ones there and they’re always there. I love them very much.” She added that “they’re teasing me up here. The Trumbull Police Department wants to screen my future dates.” They don’t have to worry, she said. “I don’t ever plan on going on another blind date.” Ms. Hart demes any county connection During a telephone interview on Monday, Ms. Hart was asked about several news reports which appeared after the kidnapping which alleged that Charles Leaf had lived at one time, perhaps five years ago, in a “commune” in Rappahannock County. She confirmed the information given to the Rappahannock News last week by Sheriff John Henry Woodward and two FBI agents who were interviewed separately: that as far as she knew Leaf had never been to Rappahannock County and didn’t know anyone here. “I was with him five years ago,” she pointed out. “We never lived anywhere in Virginia. The only time we could have ever been in Virginia was one time when we travelled from Atlantic City to Virginia Beach” and back home to Connecticut. The route she described was along the shore highways to the beach, and back up Interstate 95 to New England. “I had never been to Rappahannock County before this time,” Ms. Hart added. She said that Leaf livecl for a short time in Vermont, but as far as she knew he had never lived in Virginia. “I don’t think he knew where he was going,” Ms. Hart said. At one time, Leaf talked of going to Tennessee, she recalled. “That’s why he went this way, I guess.” She said that several news reports she had heard that Leaf was sighted outside Old Hollow also sounded false. One was attributed to a resident who said he saw Leaf walking up the Thornton River near what the reporter called a “junkyard.” “I don’t remember seeing any junkyard,” Ms. Hart said. She added that Leaf had been away from her and young Charlie on only two occasions, and both were at night. Once was Tuesday night, April 5, when all three walked through the field behind Old Hollow Grocery. Then Leaf tied her up and left Charlie sleeping beside her. He went nowhere but inside the store, she said. The second occasion was Thursday night, April 7, when he again tied her, this time inside a bam while he walked a short distance to recover provisions he had hidden. That time he was nearly discovered by sheriffs deputies. Ms. Hart didn’t think he had time to walk to whc~e he was allegedly sighted, at least a mile from tne jiiace where Leaf had left them. Although she admitted she is unfamiliar with the area, Ms. Hart said that she felt sure that the three had never ventured from Old Hollow, the area where the search was concentrated. — Lou Hatter Broccoli Continued from Page 10 1/4 tsp. grated lemon peel 1/8 tsp. dry mustard Dash of pepper 12 oz. broccoli 4 tsp. peanut oil or oil 1 cup sliced mushrooms 3/4 cup julienned carrots 1/4 to 1/3 cup cashews Drain salmon; break into chunks.

Cafeteria Continued from Page 1 tion to terminate 30 days before the April expiration date. With construction of a jail kitchen in the preplanning stages at best, the county did not give that notification, and neither did Mrs. Cebula. In March, however, while continuing to supply meals to the jail, she closed the restaurant and filed suit against Sheriff Woodward, seeking $600,000 for damages she alleges she suffered as a result of his comments to the Supervisors. In addition, she dropped the asking price for the establishment, which has been offered for sale for at least a year, from $200,000 to $150,000.) Asked if use of the school's facilities would be just a temporary solution to the looming crisis in jail meals, Dr. Gangel said he saw "no problem with a permanent arrangement if it can be worked out so that 's it’s mutually beneficial.” To jibes from the supervisors that the offer might be considered an inducement to look favorably on the proposed school budget, Mrs. Massie joked: “We thought about bringing you a bunch of carrots but we decided that would be too obvious!" “You’ve got us all licking our chops now,” Chairman Hubert Gilkey jested. “You’ve definitely taken a step in the right direction," agreed Mr. Estes. While the kitchen offer might have been welcome news, from the outset of Monday’s three-hour, lineby-line review of the proposed $3,871,698 spending plan the atmosphere in the basement room of the clerk’s office was relaxed and friendly. The Supervisors had few questions, and when they did ask for explanation or justification of proposed allocations, it was with an admonitition not to “read between the lines” or assume that cuts would automatically follow. Dumpsters Continued from Page 1 are unpleasant, especially now that we have to stockpile the white goods we can’t send to Culpeper’s landfill for disposal. But we’re negotiating to get a roll-off container for old refrigerators, ice boxes, and other items at one, possibly two, of our dumpsters, and in the meantime, we’ve got to pull together to get this mess under control,” Mr. McCarthy said, urging residents to dispose of their trash in a responsible manner. And for those who refuse to cooperate, illegal dumping should be reported by witnesses to the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department, he added. Complaints should be telephoned to the dispatch center at 675-3331 or 987-8787, along with a description of the vehicle and individual responsible, and a license number if possible. Mr. McCarthy added that it is also illegal to dispose of brush at the dumpster sites. Anyone dumping clippings of any type should also be reported. t ( NUGGETS OF TRUTH Jesus said in Matthew 16:26, "For what is a man profited if he should gain the whole world and lose his soul, or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul." Here Jesus is saying, that even if a man could gain the whole world, that it would not be worth losing his soul over. Many of you reading this article are doing exactly that, you are gaining ttie things of this world at the expense of your own soul. There is nothing wrong with having things, as long as that isn't where your trust, or complete attention or focus is. But sad to say that is where people have their attention most of tlte time, on the things that perish. Most people are making plans and preparations for retirement, but more importantly they should be making plans and preparations for where they will spend eternity. It would be awful to gain ttie things of this world, and to lose your soul as the price to have to pay to gain the world and then die and leave all | of that behind, and tlien have to | spend eternity in hell. I challenge 9 all of you who read this article to g turn your attention away from the 9 trap of gaining the world, and put j your focus on the things of the kingdom of God. Make Jesus first in your life, not things. Seek ye first his kingdom, and all these things shall be added unto you. Put your trust in the living God, not in the things of this world. Gain the kingdom of God, and receive his son Jesus into your heart by faith.

Salem Ave. in the old school building. Pastor Bill Taylor Dr. Gangel struck a positive note throughout his presentation, noting that in suggesting an 8 percent pay raise for classified employees, 8 percent raises to the base of the pay scales for teachers and administrators, and increased money for recruitment trips, the schools are seeking to hire “absolutely the best people we can get." "That's the best goal you car have for the schools, from the top right on down." remarked Supervisor Lane. The superintendent explained that he has upped the salary line items for teaching staff by 11 percent to give the administration flexibility in filling vacancies. “We’d rather hire experienced teachers if we have the opportunity." and without that margin, “we’d be forced to hire on the basis of what they cost as opposed to what they can do." With 8-percent pay raises for teachers, Rappahannock’s School Roard is bettering the state mandate for 7.8-percent salary increases averaged over the next two years and attempting to improve the county's ranking of 128th out of 134 Virginia division^ in starting pay. Mr. Estes called the county's ranking a “terrible ratio" when compared to the rest of the state. If Rappahannock gives the same percentage raise as higher paying school divisions, the gap will only widen further, he pointed out. “I don’t know what we can do but keep on throwing out those big raises." Another goal for next year is to “really go after the custodial services . . . really make those plants something we can be proud of," Dr. Gangel said. In addition to including an additional full-time custodial position, the budget provides for a spe cialist to conduct an equipment evaluation and then train custodians and administrators in routine operation and maintenance schedules. It also includes a combination position of on-site asbestos supervisor (a new federal requirement) and maintenance worker, which will be shared with Madison County. Spending tVo days per week in Rappahannock, this person would “take care of the complex maintenance problems” that are beyond the scope of the custodial staff, Dr. Gangel explained. He also noted that a 16-percent increase in custodial supplies parallels the 16-percent increase in floor space in the high school expansion. To the budget’s inclusion of an additional teaching position, planned as a combination art and gifted and talented resource teacher at the elementary school, the supervisors noted that with the expected enrollment increase, Rappahannock’s pupil-teacher ratio wilf remain essentially unchanged. Supervisor Estes asked for the reasoning behind the propesal for 8percent increases for classified employees. “I don’t know what the rest of you hear,” Mr. Estes said, adding that the majority in his district sup> port pay raises for instructional staff but question why bus drivers should get 8-percent when other state employees and workers in private industry are getting only 1- to 4percent salary hikes. “We’re trying to play catch-up and keep the people we have,” Mrs. Massie said. For years, classified personnel have been underpaid arid as a result, the School Board has had difficulty in retaining employees and hiring replacements, particularly to drive the school buses, she said. Dr. Gangel confirmed that the pay pro Permit Continued from Page 1 be sampled for indicator analysis on 11 parameters on a quarterly basis, with comprehensive analysis conducted annually.

Dr. Gangel noted that he will investigate the purchase of diesel replacement buses this year as a first step to switching from a gasoline powered fleet. According to transportation supervisor Allie Huff, “Gas bus fleets won’t be available a few years from now,” he explained. “That’s true,” board member Bryant Lee said, reporting that International trucks with gasoline engines already have to be specialordered. “Where’s all this fat to cut out?” asked Mr. Estes, after the Supervisors followed Dr. Gangel through a detailed review of maintenance projects at both schools. “I haven’t found any yet!” “Oh, I have a few notes on pages back here,” said Supervisor Mike Massie, flipping through the pages of the 2-inch thick budget explanation supplied by Dr. Gangel. But that was as close as anyone came to dear signals of possible cuts to come. “I’ve never had a budget put so nicely before,” said Mr. Estes at the close of the three-hour work session. “You did an excellent job, Dr. Gangel,” Mr. Massie added. The superintendent thanked the supervisors for the compliments but noted that his staff deserved much of the credit for the work. “Their credit is your credit, too,” Mr. Lane remarked.
