Since he bought his first home in Rappahannock County in 1961, Mr. Irwin has appreciated the rural qualities which make the county so special. He carried that appreciation with him when he bought his present home, Caledonia Farm, which abuts the Fodderstack Road between Washington and Flint Hill, in 1967. With its magnificent vistas of The Peak and its surrounding hills, fields and orchards, Mr. Irwin said that he was determined to protect that scenic heritage for the future. It was that concern that led him, in 1973, to put the 52-acre farm under a scenic easement to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. It was the first easement granted in Rappahannock County, and one of the first in the state. “I have known him since 1975,” said Tyson Van Auken, director of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. “I’ve been aware of his working for conservation causes. . .He is one of those citizen-soldiers in the conservation movement. He is unpaid, but rewarded when he sees his viewpoint prevail.” Mr. Irwin’s involvement in environmental causes became more personal when the Virginia Electric and Power Company (now Virginia Power) proposed a high-voltage electric line to be run down the Fodderstack Valley. He was one of the founders and the first executive director of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, which was organized in 1970 to oppose,the pqwef line. And, when RLEP won its battle with Virginia Power, it became one of the most respected environmental organizations in the state — and one oHTw? rmstTsSeSSHtful. “It was like David and Goliath,” recalled Daphne Hutchinson, longtime reporter and former editor of the Rappahannock News. “And Phil Irwin was largely responsible for RLEP’s success.” When Mr. Irwin recounts the conservation initiatives brought to Rappahannock County by RLEP, the satisfaction of which Mr. Van Auken spoke is evident in his voice. “The comprehensive plan, land use taxation, and agriculture and forestal districts; these are all concepts introduced Rappahannock News photo'Lou Hatter TAKING A QUIET MOMENT at home, Phil Irwin and his son Ross look over their stamp collection. Many of the stamps are foreign, collected by Mr. Irwin during his career with the Voice of America. by RLEP.” Concepts, he might have added, which will serve to protect the county’s fragile beauty for future generations. “I don’t think it is necessary to Fairfax every bit of the Commonwealth of Virginia,” Mr. Irwin concluded, .an unshakable conviction filling his voice. Mrs. Hutchinson, along with Mr. Van Auken, praised Mr. Irwin for his longtime dedication to conservation, the environment and wise planning as a Control on growth and development. “For 12 years, there have been two people who have attended every meeting of the Rappahannock County Planning Commission,” Mrs. Hutchinson said. “The reporter for the Rappahannock News — and Phil Irwin.” Former Hampton District Supervisor Newbill Miller, who also served as the board’s representative on the Planning Commission, agreed with Mrs. Hutchin son’s assessment. “He has shown a positive and consistent interest in planning, and his inter^ has beat a good influence for Rappahannock County.” Mrs. Hutchinson added, “He has always been there, always offering sugges-MESH®*** ”Uon *"d When you add up the amount of time spent by Mr. Irwin in researching issues and attending meetings and hearings, Mr. Miller said, “It represents a tremendous amount of time he has given in the interests of the county.” He has also given generously of his time to Piedmont Virginia. In 1972, Mr. Irwin was one of the founders of the Warrenton-based Piedmont Environmental Council. For several years he served as the organization’s director, and last year PEC honored Mr. Irwin by naming his as its director emeritus. He is a member of the board of directors of both RLEP and PEC, as well as an associate director of the Northern Virginia 4-H Center near Front Royal. And, though inactive, he is still a member of the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire .Department. In typically understated style, he recounts his career as a volunteer firefighter. “I joined the department in 1967, and in the spring of 1968 we went to fire school in Amissville, and everyone graduated as certified firefighters. Then I fought a couple of brush fires, and that was it.” He is inactive except at carnival time, where he can be found exhorting fairgoers to “hit the bullseye” at the dunking tank. His rich voice is also familiar to people who have attended Washington’s Fourth of July celebration. There, he See IRWIN, p. 3 Roads, schools and landfill head top stories of '88 By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer This past year will be remembered in Rappahannock County for the long-sought projects, including the landfill and the high school expansion, which finally came to fruition. But it was also a year when one long-planned project, the four-laning of Route 211 from Washington to Sperryville, ran into opposition as the Virginia Department of Transportation moved to bring the project to completion. But as important as those stories were, they were overshadowed for one long week in April as federal, state and local law enforcement agencies combed the woods around Old Hollow, searching for a kidnapper and his two hostages. Though the selection of stories to appear in a “Top 10” list is by its nature a subjective process, the following stories were among the most important of 1988. They are not presented in any particular order of importance or ranking. Landfill opens As the year began, the county was seeking final approval for its design of a new landfill at the Stover property east of Amissville, racing the clock as time ran out on an agreement with Culpeper County to dispose of our waste. By March, the Board of Supervisors had learned that the site would cost about $500,000, and the Concerned Citizens of Jackson District, who opposed the landfill site, had gone to the state for help in their effort to stop the new dump. As the year continued, the county and the Concerned Citizens waged a “paper war” with the Division of Waste Management in Richmond, as the citizens’ group lobbied against the landfill and the county, through its consulting firm, Joyce Engineering, maintaining that the site was safe. Finally, as construction got under way during the summer, excavating was halted after a ridge of rock was discovered. That rock was not found by the seismic studies done by Joyce Engineering and its subcontractors. That discovery prompted a flurry of requests from Richmond to the county for more information about the subsurface features at the site. By September, however, Joyce Engineering had proposed that the design be altered from a trench fill to an area fill, with garbage piled on top of a liner instead of buried in trenches. Mr. Joyce estimated that, depending on the final elevation, the county could expect a life of 35 to 60 years at the site. The varying estimate was based on current waste volumes and depended on the final elevation of the fill area. After surviving several extensions of the agreement with Culpeper County and repeated requests from DVM for additional data on the site, the county opened its first landfill on Oct. 3, three days after the last extension on Culpeper’s agreement expired. All the dumpster sites except Scrabble and Huntly have been closed, and as the year ended county administrator John McCarthy reported that the operation continues with no problems. The county also began a recycling program with a Community Recycling Day in September. The idea has caught on, and after four months nearly 100 households are participating. The county plans to establish a recycling center at the landfill in Amissville, but at year’s end that center had not yet opened. Route 211 widening For nearly 10 years, since the project was halted due to funding constraints in the late 70s, the county has attempted to convince the Virginia Department of Transportation that the four-laning of Route 211 should be completed, extending the divided highway from its present end just west of Washington to Sperryville. Last year, VDOT announced that the project would be completed. But a group of Rappahannock residents, organized as the Friends of Old Route 211, announced their opposition to the project. After collecting more than See TOP TEN, p. 4 Notice served on B&Bs serving dinner By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannork News Staff W'riUr In short order at last Wednesday’s meeting, the Planning Commission dispensed with a special use permit application from Marianne Wilson, recommending unanimously that she be granted approval to operate a tworoom, bed-and-breakfast on Route 522 near the Culpeper County line. But her application set off a discussion which ended with the commissioners agreeing to redefine the bedand-breakfast business as a means of controlling the expansion of such inns into de facto restaurants. “What are the rules on serving wine (at B&Bs)?” asked Commissioner Bob Anderson after the vote on Mrs. Wilson’s permit. “They need an ABC license, which I suppose most Rappahannock County bed-and-breakfasts have?” answered County Administrator John McCarthy, sending an inquiring look to Phil Irwin in the audience. The longtime monitor pf Planning Commission meetings, himself the operator of a bed-and-breakfast business at his Caledonia Farm, explained that only one inn — Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds near Amissville — has an ABC license allowing wine to be served with its regular evening meals. “Evening meals are not supposed to be part of a bed-and-breakfast,” replied Dr. Krebser. “Call them B&B&Bs — bed,breakfast and booze!” joked Chairman A.Y. Stokes. “They could be raided one night (by ABC agents) while they’re serving wine with dinner,” added Commissioner Anderson. “Look at the definition of bed-andbreakfast,” suggested Dr. Krebser, insisting that the ordinance doesn’t provide for the service of meals at such establishments. (The zoning ordinance lumps bedand-breakfast inns with tourist homes See PLANNERS, p. 10 Standoff ends in surrender A domestic dispute escalated into a possible hostage situation in Gid Brown Hollow on Tuesday evening before finally ending in surrender. Robert W. Jenkins, 35, of Route 1 Box 418, Washington, held sheriffs deputies and state troopers at bay for two hours Tuesday evening before family members talked him into giving up. According to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, Jenkins repeatedly threatened his wife Emily and the couple’s children during the afSee STANDOFF, p. 3

News of Record January's Almanac According to the Hagers-Toum Town and Country Almanack, this is the outlook for January. Weather Watch: Temperatures for January will be average, as will be precipitation. Look for cyclonic storms 5. 6; 14-16; 20, 21; 25, 26; 30. The area can expect no tornado watch during the month. The New Year opens cold and windy followed by snow 5, 6, 10, 11, 20, 21 with either snow or cold rain 14-16, 25, 26 and 30, 31. Other days in the month expect fair but cold conditions. Full Moon: Aptly named The Snow Moon, since we call for the white stuff on January 21st as the moon goes full at 4:33 p.m., but we aren’t predicting how much accumulation. Observe the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. on January' 16. Twelfth Night: Each year we remind readers of the custom of taking dowm the Christmas decorations and greens on January 6th. Twelfth Night, or "Old Christmas.” The custom originally started in England when farmers made bonfires to scare off witches and evil spirits which might threaten their homes and crops. It is not wise, however, to bum the greens and tree in the fireplace since a great deal of heat with the potential of a roaring chimney fire can be produced by the greens which are by now very dry. Garden Notes: The arrival of the many seed catalogues, full of pictures and descriptions of all those luscious fruits and vegetables, comes just in time to pick us up from the winter blahs w;hich by now may be setting in after the festive doings of the holiday season. Now’s the time to get out that pencil and start thinking about plans for this year’s garden. Try several new varieties as well as your tried and true favorites of previous years.

Irwin Continued from page 1 takes the microphone and serves as master of ceremonies for the evening’s entertainment, yet another of his volunteer efforts. Mr. Irwin admits that he cultivated his voice during his career with the Voice of America, where he worked for 23 years. He retired in 1985 after serving as the director of VOA’s English language morning broadcasts, which are heard around the world. Since his retirement from VOA, Mr. Irwin and his wife Florence have turned their attentions to Caledonia Farm, where Mr. Irwin runs a 20-head cattle operation and the bed and breakfast they have opened there. Arid in talking with Mr. Irwin about the bed and breakfast, his enthusiasm and dedication to excellence is also apparent. Always looking for ways to improve his guests’ experience, he and his family have visited more than 200 other bed and breakfast establishments in the United States and abroad. He admits that the experiences have not always been pleasant, but that each one is a learning experience — even the bad ones. “Hospitality is the key word,” he says with a grin, and a visitor can tell that Mr. Irwin’s guests are treated to plenty of hospitality. “My guests are guests in my home,” he adds, and as the host the hospitality offered, “is what separates B&Bs not only from motels, but from each other.” Standoff Continued from page 1 temoon Tuesday.

Nobody trot hurt.” Garden Club concludes greens-making BY MARIAN WHITE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer December marks a time for work and pleasure for the members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club as their year culminates with the Christmas Greens Workshop, the club’s sole money-making event of the year. This workshop, in which all garden club members participate, provides the operating funds for the year: the club’s award to the valedictorian of the June graduating class of the Rappahannock County High School, the necessary funds to beautify the public areas at the Courthouse and Historical Society, and money to send two children to the Virginia Federated Garden Clubs’ Nature Camp at Vesuvius, Virginia, each summer. The club’s successful fund raising is receiving attention from other clubs, and last Tuesday the Garden Club welcomed Grace Fields and Ellen Miyagawa of the Fluvanna Garden Club from the Piedmont District, to the workshop to observe the operation with the idea of incorporating such a workshop in their own club. With the conclusion of the workshop and having accomplished the ways and means for the financial commitments for the coming year, the members turned their attention to pleasure and attended the annual Christmas luncheon at the delightful School House Restaurant in Flint _ riHHo courtesy oi Man an White CELEBRATING THE CHRISTMAS SEASON, Rappahannock County Garden Club members (from left) Mrs. Harriet Stokes, Mrs. Christine Johnston and Mrs. Mary Botts Snead enjoy the club s Christmas luncheon.

Park visitors offered better access “Winter visitors to Shenandoah National Park will have better access and more services this year as a result of recent revisions to the Park’s Winter Operations Plan,” Park Superintendent J. W. Wade announced on Friday. “Snow-covered evergreens, fog frozen on trees, few other visitors, trails for skiing and crystal clear views are among the appealing features of Shenandoah National Park in the winter,” Supt. Wade said. The new winter plan modifies the Park’s snow removal and ice control schedules. “Our goal is to open the Skyline Drive from Thornton Gap (U.S. Route 211) to Big Meadows, by 10 a.m. on weekend days and by noon on weekdays.” He noted that visitors will be expected to abide by the posted travel restrictions, such as “Tire Chains Required” or “Snow Advised,” to ensure their safety,v,t4 The Park’s concessioner, ihti ARA Virginia Sky-Line Company] will also be increasing services.

Supt. Wade noted that he would not jeopardize snow removal crews or equipment in the event of severe weather. “Obviously, we can only complete the snow removal when it is reasonable to do so," he said. “And, we do not have the funding or to place your ad the staff to keep the entire Drive open at all times. But, by adjusting some of the Park funds, we can open the most popular portion of the Park during those periods when people ire most likely able to use it, such as in the weekends."

JACKSON Boston Commentary Rappahannock Heritage A CRANE TAKES FLIGHT across a cow pasture on Route 522 near Scrabble. Rappahannock News photo/Lou Halter A visit from the stovemover BY GERALD S. HAWKINS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer “Don't you have a stovemover?” the young man said over the phone. He seemed to think that every ntttsehold had a stovemover, and anyone without one was worse than old-fashioned. It was winter, the snow was on the ground, and I was trying to persuade the nlware store to pick up a heavy. _as‘ iron, re-enameled stove. My wife, Julia and I had recently bought it to heat the farmhouse. Everybody had told us the virtues of wood stoves stuffed with Virginia hardwood logs. There was nothing wrong with this particular stove. It was a bright, cheerful looking thing, the very latest in stove design. But only after we bought it and I read the instruction sheet did I know it wasn’t going to work out. The chimney flue in our brick fireplace was not the right size for a start, and we had wood beams and paneling too close to where the stove would go, according to the fire protection codes. “No,” I said to the man on the phone, “I don’t have a stovemover. And you had better bring two men with you when you come.” We had watched three men lift the stove into the station waggon at the store, and we slammed down the rear door. From then on the stove became a beast on four red legs. Somehow Julia managed to stop it from toppling over in the trunk as I slowly drove around each curve. Somehow we managed to lower all 2(H) lbs of it onto bales of hay, and inch-by-inch maneuver it up the steps into the house. Somehow we managed to avoid pulling a muscle in Perspective Rappai FORMED IN 1633 fmm cuiFtPEa AND NtNEDfOIIWiMu RIVER, hemmtebi»»>«"“ III this com”' all this work, although Julia had to lie on the cold flat floor afterwards for half an hour to give her back a chance to recover. Neither of us felt like risking our backs again for the stove’s return trip to the store. So we waited to see how the young many would fare, single-handed as he said he would be. The van came down the long driveway, and the driver got out. He was even less robust than I imagined. I reminded him that I wouldn’t be able to help him carry the stove out to the van. I looked at his thin figure and I knew he would never be able to lift that fat, red stove, squatting where we had left it in the living room, behind the front door. My face showed my doubts. “Don’t worry,” he proudly said, ‘I’ve brought my stovemover,” and ie pulled out of the van a gleaming, ^pace-age, metal contraption. The “thing” stood about as tall as ie was. It looked like an X-ray picture of the human body. There were steel rods for bones, wires for the arteries, pulleys, chains, levers and juttons, and right at the center, there was a black battery for a leart. He stood on the icy pathway. I stood at the top of the steps. The stove was behind the door, squat and immovable. “I don’t think that ‘thing1 will get up the steps,” I said. Taking my words as a challenge, the young man pressed the buttons, pulled the levers and his mechanical stovemover came to life. Claws came out to grasp the lower step, and the machine let out a whirring sound, lifting itself up the first step. Then it climbed the second and the third, until it was inside the house. At the door it turned right, and made a determined move toward the stove. Two metal arms slipped under the legs of the stove and gently lifted it waist-high off the floor. The stove did not even rattle. The castiron beast had met its match. With clicking and buzzing, the stovemover turned toward the open door. Going down the steps was no more difficult than coming up. Out came the claws again, and each step was gripped in turn as the load was lowered. This robot had wheels for feet, and they went over the icy pathway without a slip. The operator pressed a few more buttons to get the arms to the right height, and the stove slid into the back of the van, ready for the return journey. We watched it go with mixed feeling. It was a cheery color, and it/ was for sure the very latest design in, wood-burning stoves. The stove-, , mover itself was a work of art, and . an amazing experience to behold in j action. But it left us back with the , problem of the cold farmhouse. I looked at the fireplace. The masonry was central to the house, and;, the staircase to the second floor wound around it. The fireplace itself, was steel-lined, just like the cheerful.. red stove. The brickwork had a hollow cavity designed so that warm air ' could be ducted up to the bedrooms. . , Then the idea came into my head — why not run the fireplace like a stove? I had been much too timid.. ! Three logs burning in the grate was not enough. That nip in the Blue Ridge air required more. Stuff the fireplace with logs, like the neighbors stuff their stoves, I thought. 1 ' From that point on our farmhouse became warm. The masonry warmed the air upstairs and down, and the bright logs, safely contained behind a firescreen, warmed the living room. I somehow think we are now as warm as our neighbors, even ’ without a stove. T’ The adventure in heating was .? worth the trouble. I don’t think If would have figured out how to han-% die the fireplace if I hadn’t read the ? instructions for that wood-burning stove. J And I never w'ould have seen a genuine stovemover go through its tricks. i Gerald S. Hawkins lives outside1 1 Woodville. In addition to his occa- ' sional musings on life in the coun- '• try, Dr. Hawkins is an internationally-acclaimed author and astronomer, whose books in- <•' elude “Stonehenge Decoded” and “Beyond Stonehenge." < i tl Top ten Continued from page 1 500 signatures, the group was granted its request for a public hearing in Rappahannock County. The hearing was held at the elementary school in July, and for nearly three hours residents on both sides of the issue appealed to VDOT representatives. The department announced that it would consider the comments as a recommendation on approval or denial of the project was forwarded to the Commonwealth Transportation Board. Opponents of the project obtained VDOT documents and studies which seemed to indicate that the department’s own engineers opposed the project. Pointing to traffic ’cbunts and project cost, a value-engineering study done by department employees was cited as an example. VDOT replied that the study in question was part of a training seminar and hot subject to the same requirements and priorities that the full-fledged value engineering process has. Later, the department ordered a halt to public dissemination of valueengineering studies like the one which had recommended that the project not continue. According to Constance Sorrell, management services division chief in Richmond, the reason was that the reports contain information which might compromise later bidding processes. Opponents, however, maintained that the move was designed to quash dissent about the project within VDOT. Though the project continued the be the subject of intense debate through the fall, the Commonwealth Transportation Board approved the project at its October meeting. The widening is scheduled to begin during the summer of 1989. Schools on cutting edge The county’s public schools began the year on the forefront of scientific experimentation when a group of its physics students, in cooperation with George Mason University, emulated recent experiments with superconductors. The group, led by physics instructor Brion Patterson, made its own superconductor, becoming one of only three high school programs in the country to attempt such an ambitious project. The high school also began using some of the new facilities which were the benefits of the long-delayed capital improvement project. The Class of 1988 graduated in the school’s new gymnasium. The elementary school was the benefactor of technology supplied by Potomac Edison electric power company, which supplied computers to equip an electronic computer classroom. Later in the year, the company announced that it would supply additional software for the program. Superintendent David Gangel, with .the School Board’s support, also applied to the state for a grant for an electronic classroom at the high school. The Governor’s Technology Initiative would provide a satellite link with other schools, allowing instruction from remote locations while the .students could ask questions and participate as though the teacher were in the same room. Town water project Last year, the Washington Town Council announced its intention to upgrade the town’s 50-year-old water system. Beset by leaks and broken pipes, the town’s water authority has been patching and mending the system for the last several years. Although Mayor Dean Morehouse and Treasurer Brad Fisher told the council in the spring they had begun the process to secure state and federal grants and a loan for the project, it was not until early December that Mr. Fisher received word that the $231,500 Farmers Home Administration loan for the project had been approved. A public hearing at the council’s December meeting, called to discuss the project, brought only two residents to comment. Former Mayor Newbill Miller called the project an unnecessary expenditure of taxpayers’ money. Another former mayor, Peter Kramer, expressed general agreement with the need for the pro ject, but cautioned the council not to buy a more elaborate system than is needed to serve the town’s residents. The council approved the preliminary application for the FmHA loan. Another FmHA grant and a Virginia Community Development Block Grant have not yet been approved. Family transfers Throughout the year, the county’s Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors wrestled with the provisions of the zoning ordinance which regulates family transfers. Under state law, localities are required to provide some mechanism for family members to transfer property, but there are no firm guidelines for how that should be accomplished. The county had provided fof five transfers from a lot of record as of 1962, but found itself with a problem when an Amissville landowner requested a family transfer from her tract, bequeathed by her parents. Unbeknownst to her, an adjoining tract which had been sold had been split just a month before her ' request. That subdivision exhausted the five transfers allowed by the or-' ^ dinance, leaving her with no way to" give her son any land. 4" After wrestling with the problem ^ for several months, the Board of Su- » pervisors approved a sixth division, <j subject to administrative approval, from lots of record dating from 1962. "S The board also approved an amend-*’ ment which would require notice of intent to subdivide to all adjoining j landowners. That provision was de- ' > signed to prevent any more landowners being deprived of their '’ transfer rights without their knowledge. 7/ Although those measures solved :•! the immediate problem, Zoning Ad- J i ministrator John McCarthy pre- 1<: dieted that the family transfer M provisions will continue to be a thorn >1 in the county’s side.

Planners Continued from page 1 and boarding houses and defines all as “Any building or portion thereof containing sleeping accommodations for not more than 12 persons who are not members of the family operating the establishment and wherein normally a charge is paid for such accommodations. The terms 'tourist home' and ‘boarding house’ do not include hotel or motel or other accommodations used for transient occupancy.”) “People ask me if I’ve eaten at the one on 522 near Flint Hill, and 1 tell them it’s not supposed to be a restaurant,” I)r. Krebser continued. "We need to take care of this or we’ll have commercial establishments all up and down the highway," he said, getting nods of agreement from his fellow commissioners. And the Wakefield District representative had another suggestion relating to Rappahannock's burgeoning bed-and-breakfast industry: “I think We ought to start taxing those lodgings. We have so many B&Bs now. it would be a nice little income for the county. That's something we ought to look at down the road." “We did just get legislative authority to do that," noted Mr. McCarthy, referring to enabling legislation which allows counties to impose a tax on lodging. “Exactly!” Dr. Krebser confirmed. In other action at Last Wednesday's session, the commissioners recommended: • adoption of zoning ordinance amendments to allow family apartments and efficiency apartments by special exception permit in commercial village, commercial general and highway commercial zones. • issuance of a special exception permit to Charles K. Estes to convert an existing structure on his oneacre commercial village lot on Sperryville into an apartment for his mother. • adoption of an ordinance amendment to delete the provision for. offsite directional signs in conservation and agricultural zoning districts. Currently, off-site signs are allowed in both districts by special exception permit. "The proliferation of off-site signing would be one of the biggest desecrations we could invite in our county,” said Phil Irwin, the sole speaker at the commission’s public hearing. • recommended issuance to Bob Wellemeyer of a one-year permit for a mobile home during the construction of a permanent residence in the old Dennis subdivision on Red Oak Mountain above Woodville. Mr. McCarthy noted that in response to concerns expressed by an unnamed property owner regarding the proximity of the septic field to a stream on the property, he checked with the Health Department and determined that the separation distance of 100 feet between the drain field and any body of flowing water is being maintained. • recommended approval of the special exception sought by Herbert Foster for the subdivision of 2.7 acres from his 302.29-acre farm between Flint Hill and Huntly. Top ten Continued from page 4 fer is subject to a two-acre minimum lot size and approval by the health department of septic and well permits. Hostages in Old Hollow In mid-April, the discovery of an abandoned car in Old Hollow by Rappahannock Sheriff s Department Lt. Jeff Brown led to a five-day manhunt involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the State Police and the county’s sheriffs department. The car, which was traced to a Connecticut man, led to Charles A. Leaf II. who had kidnapped his estranged wife. Cheryl Hart and their 3-year-old son, Charles III. For three days law enforcement agents searched the mountains around Old Hollow, looking for the fugitive and his two victims. Finally, the trio were discovered hiding in a vacant house. Surrounded by federal and state tactical team agents, Charles Leaf held the police at bay for nearly a day. Finally, after 18 hours, the police agreed to let the three leave in a helicopter which had landed in a field in front of the house. The three left the house, Ms. Hart in front with a gun to her head, little Charlie strapped to his father’s back. As they crossed the field, walking toward the helicopter, it took off without them. Stunned by percussion grenades. Leafs attention was diverted long enough for a marksman to fell him with one shot in the head. He died in the helicopter which flew him to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville. Ms. Hart and young Charlie were rescued unharmed. At Christmas, they sent a card and letter of thanks to the residents of Rappahannock County. Weather was news As always in a rural agricultural community, the weather was news 'luring 198K. Although a wet spring held promise for sufficient moisture for the farmers, by summer that hope had evaporated along with the rain. For two months the county went without appreciable moisture, and a bountiful first cutting of hay was followed by fields bare of anything but dried stubble. With late summer, however, the rains returned to salvage part of the fall harvest, although many farmers reported reduced yields. The county’s orchards were hit hard, with the fruit of small size. Ground water protection Although legislators and planners agree that little is known about the ground water supplies of Piedmont Virginia, there is a consensus that more studies need to be done. Questions begging for answers include, “How much water is there?,” “Where does it come from, and where does it go?," “How much of it is polluted?,” and "What will be the effects of development on the ground water supply?” The problem came home to Rappahannock County when the Health Department revoked the permit for the largely makeshift, poorly maintained community water system which served homeowners in Rappahannock Lakes, a subdivision near Amissville which predates the county's zoning ordinances. The department ruled that existing wells and septic system* will have priority, which may mean that some of the subdivision’s small, oddly shaped lots cannot be developed. Trucks and Route 522 Through the year, the county’s supervisors continued to pressure the Virginia Department of Transportation to reopen Route 17 in Fauquier County. When that road, from Marshall south to Warrenton, was closed to trucks in 1984 following several fatal accidents, tractor-trailers began using Route 522 from Front Royal over Chester Gap to Route 211 at Massies Comer. For a time last summer it seemed that VDOT might delay the reopening of Route 17 until a controversial spur around the north end of Warrenton is finished — perhaps five years in the future. However, by year’s end, VDOT had announced that Route 17 would be reopened when the final section from Marshall south to 1-66 is completed, sometime in the spring of 1989. Child sexual abuse A crime which seldom sees the light of day hit the front page of the Rappahannock News during 1988. Four men were convicted of sexual abuse of children in three separate situations. All four of the accused sex offenders were either found guilty after a trial or pleaded guilty to the charges. Three have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms. The fourth is still in jail awaiting sentencing. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke attributed the rise in sexual abuse cases to heightened public awareness of the problem.
