Board Passes School Budget By SHARON KILPATRICK RaMwhannock New* Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors voted to pay off the debt to the Virginia Retirement System for school employees who took early retirement, and then adopted the $5.8 million budget as presented. The effect of this was to free up $27,990 that had been budgeted for the first year’s payment on early retirement to be applied toward continuing Operation Safe Haven. Operation Safe Haven, a program to help at risk students, had been funded by a federal grant. The grant will not be continued for the next school year. The School Board did not include funds in the budget because School Superintendent David Gangel had assured the Board of Supervisors when he asked for appropriations of the federal grant, that the locality See Budget, Page A-6 Willis, Zumwalt Elected Miller, Moffett, Gooch and Steve Critzer Selected for Council I r By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Following some heated campaigning during the last few weeks, the townspeople of Washington elected a new mayor and treasurer Tuesday. Seventy-eight percent of the eligible voters in town voted, which was down from the 94 percent who voted in the 1990 election. Stewart Willis was elected as mayor, receiving 64 percent of the votes and ousting two-term mayor Dean Morehouse. Tom Zumwalt garnered 55 percent of the votes to earn him the position of Treasurer of the town. He ran against Louise van Dort. Both were vying for the position left by Brad Fisher, who decided not to run for re-election. Votes for the five seats on Council were very close. The top votegetters were Newbill Miller and Janice Moffett, followed by Ray Gooch, who was elected as a write-in candidate, and Steve Critzer. Charles Eldred and Reinhardt Lynch tied for the fifth position on Council. State election law provides that in the event of a tie in any county, city or town election, “the electoral board shall proceed publicly to determine by lot which of the candidates shall be declared elected.” The Electoral Board, comprised of Sheilah Sweet, Mary Edna Schaefer, and Chairman Chris Parrish was scheduled to conduct a drawing Wednesday morning. Brad Fisher received one writein vote, and Ed Barton received two write-in votes, both for council seats. Upon hearing of his being elected to Mayor, Mr. Willis said, “I think the town did an excellent job of electing a new council. It will bring new ideas to the town. I look forward to serving on the new council.” Mr. Zumwalt was delighted to hear that he was elected. He said, “I am amazed and impressed by the voter turnout today. I am glad they are concerned about the town. That is democracy in action. It looks like a good balance.” Remember Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan ' This snow sculpture, which appeared in a front yard on Route 729 near Viewtown in February sends an appropriate greeting for this Sunday. Man Sentenced to 91/2 Years for Rape Attempt By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Last week, a jury of eight women and four men found Jake Thomas ‘Tommy” Taylor, 35, of Castleton, guilty of attempted rape, attempted sodomy, sexual battery and breaking and entering, and recommended a sentence totalling nine and one-half years in the state penitentiary. The offenses took place on Oct. 19, 1993. The victim is 20 years old. She and her boyfriend had been friends with the defendant for more than a year when the incidents occurred. According to the victim’s testimony, she was at home alone, in the trailer she shared with her boyfriend, having gone back to bed after he left for work. At about 8:55 a.m., she heard something at the door, sat up in bed, and saw that someone was inside the door. She described the intruder as a man dressed in camouflage clothing and brown gloves. His head was covered with a T-shirt, worn as a mask, so that only his eyes showed, though he was wearing sunglasses. He walked quickly down the haDway to the bedroom, and pushed the victim, who was dressed in underclothes, down on the bed. At this point, the victim testified, she already knew that it was Tommy Taylor, the defendant. She said, “He put tape on my mouth and put plastic ties on my hands. He cut the tape with his knife. The hands were bound behind my back. He did not say anything.” The victim further testified that he had removed his gloves when he entered the bedroom, and then he fondled her, and she resisted and kicked him. This went on for a few minutes, and then he removed the tape and ties. He continued to fondle her, and she kept kicking, she said. “I told him I did not want him there in my house. He said if he went to jail it would be for a good reason. He pushed me down between the bed and wall and he put on a condom. I just laid there and cried. He tried to have sex with me. I pulled his mask down. Then I knew for sure it was him,” the victim testified. She continued her testimony, “He got mad. He sat on my chest and said he would have me have oral sex on him. He tried to open my mouth and I bit him. He said if I (fid that again he would beat the s— out of me. He then sat down and fondled me some more. I pushed him away and kicked him. He asked where my bathing suit was.” Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke asked her, “What significance was that?” The victim answered, “I was wear- * ing my bathing suit a few weeks before and he was looking at me. He said he was leaving after he asked about the bathing suit. He went to leave, but he came back in. He rolled me on my stomach and fondled me some more. He said, ‘Don’t cry, poor baby.’Then he left.” The victim then testified that it was between 9:20 and 9:25 a.m. when he left. She said she was expecting her mother to come by at 10:00, and planned to report the attack to her since there was no telephone in the trailer. She put on her pants and shirt. She said, “I was scared to death and did not want to go outside, but I went out and brought my dog in.” The victim said she didn’t go to a nearby store and report the attack from the pay phone there because she was afraid Taylor might be waiting for her. \ The victim said that Alan Davis, who is a mutual friend of Tommy Taylor and the victim’s boyfriend, came by at noon, but she did not tell him what had happened. She said that Jason Hammonds came by at about 2 p.m. and that she told him what happened. He went into the bedroom and found the piece of duct tape behind the bed. He brought it out to tiie kitchen. When the victim’s mother came at 4 p.m., she told her what had happened. Once her boyfriend got home, he was also told of the incident. At 6:30 that evening, the victim and her mother reported the incident to Deputy Connie Compton at the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department. Deputy Compton visited the victim’s trailer that evening and removed the bedsheets for evidence. Mr. Taylor’s attorney, George Freeman, asked the victim if Mr. Taylor was circumcised. She responded, “I did not see. He had a Lifestyle condom.” Mr. Luke next called the victim’s mother to the stand. She said of her daughter, “She started crying and said something bad had happened. She said Tommy had attacked her and told me everything that had happened. There were mouthprints on the inside of the piece of tape. There were pieces of dirt on the bed where you could tell he was on the bed with his shoes on.” The victim’s mother continued with her testimony, “She is afraid to take a shower. When she sits in the house she has to be able to see out the window so she can see who is coming. She has been depressed and withdrawn. She has lived with me since January. Her dad is a butcher and she would get this big knife and sit with it on the couch. She jumps even when I go to touch her.” Deputy Compton testified that she took the bedsheets, a piece of the victim’s underclothing and the piece of duct tape for evidence. She also notified Major Ed Streapy of the incident soon after it was reported to her by the mother and victim. The victim also gave a written statement about the attack, she said. Also testifying for the prosecution was Peggy Christianson, a licensed clinical social worker from the Fauquier * Counselling Center in Warrenton. According to Ms. Christianson, the victim has been counselled by her since Jan. 14, a total of 10 one-hour sessions. “She came with complaints of having been the victim of sexual assault,” Ms. Christianson said. “She had difficulty being alone at any time, had recurrent flashbacks of the events, had a great deal of difficulty being anywhere where there was a lot of noise, has violent, nightmares, acute fear of him coming back, and trouble sleeping.” The victim, she continued, “She is a very agitated, anxious woman who has a great deal of fear. She is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. She had difficulty being around men, even her boyfriend for a while. She was afraid she might die.” Jason Hammonds, who said he has known the victim and her boyfriend for four yearS, testified next. He said, “She told me Tommy Taylor had attempted to rape her. I found a piece of gray duct tape on the floor behind the bed. I did See Trial, Page A-6

Book Describes Youth In Gid Brown Hollow By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock N»w« Staff Writer Rayner Snead’s Hollow Boy: Remembrance of Life in the Gid, Brown Hollow is selling well at the Rappahannock News and Cabin Fever Books. / This small volume is crammed full of tales of Rappahannock in the 20s and 30s. Retired Judge Snead said he began writing about his family and youth when he took a course in creative writing taught by Evelyn Minshull at an Elderhostel in Cook Forest, Pennsylvania. He said this was his third time at an Elderhostel where programs are offered for people over 55 on college campuses, and the first time he tried one that concentrated on writing. It covered such topics as overcoming writer’s block and developing character, he said. It was an “intense seminar” that lasted for a week from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. each day. Afterwards he showed his writings to his daughter Dana, who encouraged him to keep at it. “Over the next year I went on and did a first draft,” he said, but he found that was just the start. *' He said he got involved in writing his history to share the family Ctories with his children and grandchildren, but many others wanted to r£ad his writings also, and so after inany revisions he decided to go ahead and have it published. (Warick House Publishing in Lynchburg was selected. The print mg was actually done in Fredericksburg, he said. Judge Snead said one of the most difficult parts was writing about his aunts and uncles. “I had to be careful,” he said. “I didn’t want to paint them as paragons of virtue, but I didn’t want to say anything toajaad either. I also didn’t want to make it a lot of heavy reading because then not even the children would read it.” He received help from his sisterin-law Mary Quaintance Snead in doing the research to write the prologue on Gideon Brown for whom Gid Brown Hollow is named. Mrs. Snead is a great great niece of Gideon Brown. Learning about Brown was one of the most interesting parts of the writing project, Judge Snead said. There were only 600 copies of this book printed, and they are likely to be gone soon. The book is crammed with tales of the sort of Rappahannock characters who are fast disappearing. 11 There are chapters on education, hunting, the many jobs to be done on a farm and his first experience with a4-H8teer.

Signs for E-911 System Generate Debate By SHARON KILPATRICK Ranwhannock New* Staff Writer • Most of Monday’s afternoon meeting of the Board of Supervisors was routine, but implementing the E-911 system generated some discussion. • County Administrator John McCarthy missed most of the meeting, but he had given the supervisors a note setting out the schedule for bringing on line the system that will enable dispatchers in the sheriffs office to tell exactly where a call to 911 is coming from. According to Mr. McCarthy’s timetable, the last private roads will have names assigned. This list will be run in a newspaper ad for public comment, and then the names will be fed into the system. , In late June residents will start getting notices from their post offices giving their new addresses. They will have one year to switch to the new addresses. ! VDOT will be putting up signs this summer, but it will be November before the system is entirely online. ; Sheriff John Henry Woodward said that is because Bell Atlantic says they have to do Culpeper first. “They have been holding us up all along," he said. He said Sprint/Centel is ready to switch their customers on this month. Clerk Diane Bruce said she had been paying attention to the road signs in surrounding counties. “They look horrible,” she said. “I hate to see the blue signs and the bright green signs. If we’ve got the map and the map books and the radio, we ought to ask ourselves, do we really need street signs stuck up. . . It’s such an urban thing to do.” She said the signs would take away from the county’s beauty. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said the county does not have to have signs. Chairman Hubert Gilkey and Sheriff John Henry Woodward disagreed saying the Fire and Rescue Association wants the signs and that VDOT requires that they be green and blue. From the audience Joy Sloane asked who will own the list of names and addresses. She said the county should sell the list to make some money back from the cost of getting the system. ' The supervisors said they had agreed not to sell the list and that there would be no printed copy.

The supervisors agreed to work out a fee to charge those who do not get vehical decals by the April 15 deadline. They agreed to increase the transfer and replacement fees also. There is currently no fee for late payment, and the $2 fees for replacement and transfer do not cover the cost, Sheriff Woodward said. Earlier the supervisors learned that although $300,000 has been added to the states Extension Service budget, it is not known whether the service will hire a replacement for Scott Cunningham, who resigned as agriculture agent. Mr. Massie suggested that the supervisors consider closing the extension office. “We need to see if there is support in the community to keep the office open, if we’re not going to have an agriculture agent,” he said. The county’s cost for the extension service is about $47,000, but that would be somewhat reduced if it is only for one agent and a secretary. County Attorney Peter Luke said the supervisors need to settle the issue soon, because he is in the process of drawing up a new lease for the space.

The Audit' i WEDNESDAY, MAY 4,1994 Editorial • ) Land Use Taxation At least two members of the Board of Supervisors are interested in reopening the issue of land use taxation. Hampton District representative Mike Massie has collected statistics that show owners of houses and small lots have seen their taxes rise far faster than owners of raw land. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham claims that most of the land in the land use taxation program is owned by non residents. He has frequently said that this means residents are subsidizing outside real estate investors. Nothing in the law allows the supervisors to treat nonresidents differently from residents in levying taxes. The laws also require that assessments of land in the land-use program be left unchanged, as other assessments are left unchanged, between general reassessments. Only changes in the actual use of land or changes in buildings on property can change the assessment between reassessments. Emotions run very high at the time of reassessments, making it a difficult time to make changes that will significantly increase taxes for anyone. If the Board of Supervisors intends to dramatically change the land-use taxation system, such as requiring that qualifying land be in agricultural districts that cannot be developed for 10 years, the decision needs to be made in advance of a general assessment and then put into place at the time of the reassessment. Following this debate should be interesting. However, we would remind Mr. Massie and Col. Bingham that raw land, whether owned by residents or non-residents is not causing taxes to increase. ' People, whether they are full-time or part-time residents, demand the services—schools, waste disposal, law enforcement, even libraries and recreation—that are driving costs of county government higher. A look around us in any direction clearly shows that development causes taxes to rise. Mr. Massie said the real estate tax rate is 50 percent higher this year than it would be if there were no land use program. It is easy enough to arrive at that figure by adding in the value of land exempt from taxation through the land use program and figuring what tax rate would raise the same amount of money on the higher value of real estate. However, this says nothing about what the taxes would have been if more houses had been built on that land.

Letters to the Editor Sponsors And Helpers Thanked To the Editor: On behalf of the Rappahannock County Recreational Facilities Authority, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those local businesses anti residents who contributed to making the 16th Annual Fodderstock 10K such a success, with 251 registrants and 233 actual runners. First, for their generous sponsorship, the Inn at Little Washington deserves to be singled out, along with the proprietors, Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch. Additionally, the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company, Blue Ridge Technologies, Farmers & Merchants Bank, Real Estate III, Roy Wheeler Realty, Peggy Clark, Realtor, Eileen Day Realty, The Buyer's Agency, Four & Twenty Blackbirds, Flint Hill Store, Hillsdale Grocery, Hackley^s Store, Sperryville Comer Store, Viewtown Store, Laurel Mills Store and the Rappahannock Farmer’s CO-OP need to be recognized for their strong financial and in-kind support. Thanks also go to the Pepsi-Cola Bottling of Warrenton for drinks, cups and race equipment, to Wakefield Country Day School for bus transportation, and to Bruce and Vi Vierling for the use of the Flint Hill Packing Shed at the race’s start. As always, the support of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office and the Virginia Department of Transportation were much appreciated, as was that of the Flint Hill and Washington Rescue Squads. To all of the Girl Scouts and other cheerful volunteers at the water stations, the finish line, the mile markers, the registration desks and elsewhere: We couldn’t have done it without you! johnw. McCarthy Recreational Facilities Authority Letter Challenged To the Editor Whoa, whoa, whoa there, Mr. Johnson.

I do not know where you are getting your statistics from, but if you are paying your source, either get your money back or sue. As for whether or not the Republicans care for the paupers who fail to clear the magic $180,000,1 assure you that we do. If we didn’t I can tell you that I personally would have to give up caring about me, and I’d hate that, I really would. What really baffles me in your letter is the statements that “Many thousands...got refunds that were bigger than the tax that been withheld.” Now there’s a racket I’d like to get in on, but the price might be to high. There’s a limit to how close I’m willing to get to the Clintons. EDITH POND Sperryville FORE Thanks Community To the Editor: Recently, the Facility for Occupational Rehabilitative Enterprises, Inc. (F.O.R.E., Inc.) has been the recipient of a tremendous amount of community support for two important projects. FORE provides employment to the handicapped in Planning District 9. The first project was the construction of an urgently needed storage shed/pavilion. The design was donated by Mills and LeLacheur Architects. Materials were provided by Culpeper Concrete, Orange Steel Roofing and Grove’s Hardware. Labor was perfomed by Jefferson Home Builders, Bealeton/Remington Ruritan, and QB Enterprises. The second project was a celebration of twenty years of service by Ellen Corum to FORE, Inc. The bounty of food was prepared by Airlie Conference Center, China Jade, Legends, Fat Tuesdays, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Yen Cheng, McDonalds, Bob’s Big Boy, R & H Grocery, Corner Deli, Pizza Hutt, Western Sizzlin, Cardinal Cake and Bake, Mt. Holly Church, Burger King, and other individuals. No one was left hungry. Isn’t that an amazing list of contributing businesses? Please join me in showing gratitude that we live in such a caring community by patronizing these business. LYNDA REUTER FORE, director Rumors Denied To the Editor The town election is almost over. The election results are not yet known. A good time to reflect on part of what has happened. What is a bona fide campaign issue? What is dirty politics and mud slinging? The absolutely false, untrue acts and deeds attributed to my wife and me during this election are listed below. 1. We made the anomyous mailing of an accurate tax lien letter (totally false). 2. Health Department inspections made at the Inn are the results of reports made by us to the Health Department (totally false). 3. The1 Rappahannock News (based on a rumor) requested a statement from me for their last edition before the election. The rumor was that I had dropped out of the council race to run for mayor (totally false). 4. I had blown up the town water line last week as a dirty trick or had someone else do it for me (totally false). 5. We planned or distributed the voter fraud letter (totally false). The reports of these lies were i told us by five different sources we deem reliable. These rumors were attributed to people who supposedly are reponsible residents of the town and county. They would be amusing if the intent was not meant to influence the town’s election. This type of activity is disgraceful and shows disrespect for the town’s people and their election. A tax lien or voter fraud is a bona fide issue in any election, if true and accurate. It is not realistic for a person to think that these issues will not surface in a contested election. Surely Washington, Virginia, deserves better.

►Budget / From Page A-l would not be asked to pick up the cost of the program once the grant ended. In the cover letter that accompanied the budget, Dr. Gangel said, “If funds are available, I strongly recommend inclusion of this position (at-risk coordinator) in the budget.” He noted that the cost of paying the coordinator would be $37,197 including fringe benefits. Early in the process of discussing the school budget Monday night, Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes noted that statistics on drop-outs do not show the at risk program to be effective. The statistics, supplied by the school system, show that the drop out rate in 1990-91, the year the program started, was 2.3 percent. In 1991-92 the rate increased to 4.76 percent. In 1992-93 the rate was 2.9 percent, and so far this year, the rate is 2.2 percent, he said. “I’m opposed to the total amount, he said. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said, “I’m very disappointed the numbers don’t look better than they do. The program may have other important benefits, but as far as lowering the drop out rate, the drop out rate is not lowering.” “Not every child wants to graduate from high school,” Mr. Estes said. “No matter what you do, you’re going to have drop outs along the way.” Mr. Estes asked Dr. Gangel to respond to the situation. “It’s difficult to look at the numbers to see if it’s successful,” Dr. Gangel said. “The value of the program is what happens to individual children. There are disciplinary situations we have known about...There are health situations we have found out before they became medical emergencies. How do you put numbers on this?” Mr. Estes asked how many other school employees can work with students on these problems. Dr. Gangel said that while other employees work on the same issues, “no one else has the freedom and lititude to ferret out these problems. We have benefited from this.” Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson asked if the board included the $27,990 saved in the budget, could the school system keep the employee on staff. Dr. Gangel said, “I don’t know.” Later he said he would do what he could with the funds to see that the program continues. Mr. Estes asked Dr. Gangel to consider approval of the position of "Learning Environment Coordinator” a temporary position. Dr. Gangel said he would look at the issue again at budget time next year. Mr. Massie noted that in the past the Board of Supervisors approved the school budget by category rather than by bottom line. He asked why that had changed.Chairman Hubert Gilkey said that was becuase the “relations between the board and school superintendent weren’t as wonderful as they are now.” Mr. Estes said, “I would like to approve by bottom line. In a tight budget you have to make shifts, but I wouldn’t like to get away from the intent of this budget.” The budget was approved unanimously. The supervisors also saw a second draft of the entire county budget for next year based on a 69-cent real estate tax rate.

Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham asked Mr. Cox to indude a statement showing how ' much real estate is exempt from taxation because of the land use assessment system. Mr. Cox agreed to include that as a note to the budget Col. Bingham said that 58 percent of the land in the land use program is owned by “out of county investors. Why should they not pay , for our schools. I feel the formers as well as local residents are subsidising the net worth of out of county investors.” Mr. Estes said “The property owned by out of county investors is not costing services.” Mr. Massie said the tax rate last year was 62 cents. Without the land use system it would have been 41 cents, he said. “Land use makes the taxes 50 percent higher,” he added. He said he had done a study of several parcels and found that five small lots with houses had taxes increase 165 percent between 1984 and 1994. Four parcels of raw land paid 67 percent more in taxes in 1994 than they had in 1984, and four parcels with both land, about 75 acres, and houses were paying 130 percent more, he said. He said the supervisors should discuss the issue of the land-use program after the budget process is completed. The supervisors have work sessions on the remainder of the budget scheduled for May 17 and 23. The public hearing on the county budget is scheduled for the June supervisors meeting with adoption later in June. ►Trial i ‘ From Page A-l not get on the bed at . all to get the ; tape. It had a mouthprint and some strands of hair. She was really nervous like she did not know what to do.” Mr. Luke next called the victim’s boyfriend to the stand. He claimed ( that he had been her boyfriend for three years, and that until Oct. 19, 1993, he and Tommy Taylor had been on good terms. He claimed that he saw the defendant the day of the attack and that he was wearing camouflage clothing. Major Ed Streapy of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department testified that he arrived at the Sheriffs Office at around 8:15 p.m. the evening that the victim had filed a complaint, and met Deputy Compton, the victim, and the victim’s mother. He obtained some hair samples from the victim. M^jor Streapy said that when the defendant came in to see him at the Sheriffs Office that same evening, at around 9:30, he told him that he had gotten up at 9:30 or 10 a.m. on the morning of Oct. 19. The defendant also told him that he went to his father’s house for breakfast, which is across the street from the local general store. The defendant’s house is behind the store. Taylor claimed that he bought a cup of coffee in the store at 9:30 a.m., the investigator testified. Major Streapy advised the defendant of his rights, and obtained a search warrant for the defendant’s house and pickup truck. In the house, Major Streapy found a set of camouflage clothing and a pair of brown gloves. M^jor Streapy claimed that it takes three and one-half minutes to walk at a normal pace from the defendant’s house to the trailer. He said that when he confronted Tommy Taylor about the attack, he said, “What do you think?” Major Streapy continued, “I took 25 hair samples from the heads of Tommy Taylor, the victim, and her boyfriend and took those samples to the state lab. I wanted those to be compared to those samples found on the sheet.” Myron Scholberg, who works for the Division of Forensic Science, and whose expertise is the examination of hairs, fibers and fabric separations, testified that he conducted an examination of the hairs found on the victim’s bedsheet, and hairs provided him by Tommy Taylor,' the victim and her boyfriend. He said, “The hair exam is a comparison type. I view the questioned hair and known hair at the same time under a microscope.” He said that the hair of the defendant was microscopically like one found on the sheet. His conclusion was that the hair could have originated from the defendant, but could not be positively identified. The defendant’s first witness was Eileen Davis, the supervisor in the trace evidence section of the Division of Forensic Science. She testified that she had received for l •. v V analysis a partial roll of duct tape, and had determined that it was not the roll from which a piece had been cut from and taped over the victim’s mouth. "h Mr. Freeman next called Alan Davis, who has been a friend of the defendant’s for 10 years, and also knows the victim and her boyfriend. He claimed that when he stopped by the trader to see the victim’s boyfriend on Oct. 19, the victim did not appear upset. Mr. Freeman called several character witnesses for the defendant, including friends and employers of Mr. Taylor. They testified that Tommy Taylor’s reputation in the community was one of non-violence, peace, good order and truthfulness, but none could prove that they had seen the defendant between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Several had seen him after 9:30 a.m. Taylor then took the stand in his own defense. He claimed that he had gotten up at 9 or 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 19. He said, “I went to the store to get a cup of coffee. There was a knock on the door around 9:30. Harlan Coffey was at the door. He wanted me to ride and look at Todd and Sandy’s property. I told him I had to help my father. I got more coffee at the store. Then I went to check on my father’s cows, probably about 9:45 a.m. Then I went home. At 10:30 or 11 a.m. we went to get the doghouse.” He further stated that he did not have on camouflage that day, and that the last time he had been to the trader was a month or six weeks prior to Oct. 19. He said, “I was not ’ in the trailer on that day.” Mr. Luke asked the defendant, “Did you ever ask her to put a bathing suit on?” The defendant answered “No.”v He also stated that he had told Major Streapy that he had gotten up at 9:30 or 10 a.m. and had breakfast at his father’s after checking on the cows. The jury deliberated for about l six hours before reaching its verdicts, reducing the original charge of breaking and entering while armed with a deadly weapon to breaking and entering, which carries a minimum sentence of five years versus 20 years if armed. (Editor's note: It is the policy of the Rappahannock News to withhold the identity of sexual assault victims. Certain details of testimony inthis case, including witnesses’s. names, have been omitted to preserve the victim’s anonymity.)

• Community News • Obituaries , Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, MAY 4,1994 Sawmill Operators Show County's Diversity Bv BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock New* Contributtaf Writer It looks like a decrepit shed that $omeone might tear down one of these days. But it’s really an old man’s life and a son’s love for his daddy. It’s the oldest sawmill in Rappahannock County, and it’s not for sale, if you should ask. It’s Charlie Hitt’s sawmill on Route 626, three and a halfmiles northeast of Scrabble. He bought it second-hand in 1948 and worked it until his health gave out in the 1970s. But Mr. Hitt’s sawmill still runs. Not every week. Not fast. Not like the modem factories that chum out tens of thousands of board feet of lumber every day. It runs when Jim Hitt, Charlie’s 50-year-old son, cranks it up and carefully saws the wood he has harvested off his land. He knows the tree he has cut. He knows the person he cut it for. This log will be fence posts on a friend’s land. That log will be rafters in a bam down the road. ! i The crashing sounds, the flying sawdust, have never been something that Jim Hitt liked. He just tolerates it. What he does like is keeping up the family tradition. The senior Hitt has been bedridden the past six years, cared for at home by Jim and his wife. Jim hands a visitor a photo: "That’s the only picture I’ve got of Pa working with me.” It’s dated 1966, which would make Jim 22 and Charlie 57. “I had to saw when I was a boy,” recalls Jim. “You didn’t stand around like kids today do. It was saw or you don’t eat; work or you get the boot.” What he did under compulsion 40 years ago, he does out of devotion today. “I don’t saw fast; I take my time. It’s our custom to do it right,” he says. “Our” and “we” slip into his speech whenever he’s talking about the sawmill, as if his father were still at his side. “We don’t do it for money,” continues Jim. “We were taught how to saw right by the best people in Luray. I really admired the people out of Luray who did mill work—you’ll never find more all-around perfect people. Real professionals.” Jim Hitt now earns his living mowing grass in the medians of the Capital Beltway and Interstate 66. The sawmill is a spare-time occupation, done for people who live nearby or who hear about him word-ofmouth. The only sawmill in the county that runs full-time is John Dove’s mill on Rt. 522, four miles north of Flint Hill.

Concert With Piano and Flute Scheduled for High School Warm sunshine, the garden and the smell of flowers woo us out in spring. Communitities come alive with events, picnics and memorable gatherings. On Friday, May 13 at Rappahannock High School, local pianist/composer Peter Kater has invited highly acclaimed Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai to join in creating an evening of unforgettable music. Beginning at 8 p.m. Mr. Kater and Mr. Nakai will take the audience on a musical journey. Fans have come to recognize their music as deeply mystical, powerfully moving. Their improvisations, and Mr. Rater’s creative compositions have awed audiences worldwide. n One critical review states, “The honest expression and simplicity of the improvisations make it hard not to be touched.” Mr. Rater’s enchanting compositions, to be be performed on grand piano, will be accompanied by Mr. Nakai’s traditional flute, rattles, eagle bone whistle and the violin of special guest Cecil Hooker of Trapezoid. These two have collaborated on three recordings. All reached Billboard charts. Five of Mr. Rater’s seventeen recordings have received “Best Album of the Year” nominations from the National Assoda tion of Independent Record Distributors with Rater and Nrkai’s collaboration entitled “Migration” winning the award for 1992. A new release is due out shortly. Mr. Rater’s compositional talents lead cable T.V.’s Discovery Channel to hire him to write the score for “How the West Was Lost,” a six part mini-series depicting factual information, dramatic photographs from the National Archives and ancestral stories from a Native American perspective. The series depicts the story of how the white man’s move west impacted their lives. It has been aired twice due to its appeal. The sound track reached Number 9 on Billboard charts, with Mr. Rater’s arrangements, Mr. Nakai and Mr. Hooker’s accompainment and a host of other talented musicians and singers creating a distinctive Native American sound. Tickets are $15 with partial proceeds to benefit the Rappahannock High school drama club. Advance tickets are highly recommended and can be purchased at Mountainside Market and the Earth Gallery in Washington, New Leaf Bookstore and Natural Marketplace in Warrenton, Royal Oak Books in Front Royal, Feather on the Wind in Charlottesville and Culpeper Music.

With four employees, including his son, and three huge saws running, he’s big enough to produce railroad ties and grade lumber for retailers (90 percent of his business), yet small enough to do custom milling for local folks. “If someone wants to haul a couple of walnut logs in here, we’ll saw it any way they like,” Mr. Dove says. “We just did a mantle for Dr. Gangel.” Mr. Dove sells his slab wood— the stuff trimmed off oak, poplar and ash before the good core is reached—for $20 per pickup load (you haul). His dust is free for the taking. Somewhere between the occasional sawing of Jim Hitt and the roaring enterprise of John Dove sit two younger fellows: Chris Bird and Sam Dwyer. If these two weren’t such fast friends, they’d be competitors. Both have basically the same sawmill—a portable one that can be towed like a camping trailer to the customer’s land. Both do custom sawing only. Both are part-time, one-man operations. And both know the value of kiln-dried wood, Mr. Dwyer got a kiln three years ago; Mr. Bird bought one this spring. One recent day, Mr. Dwyer showed up at Mr. Bird’s sawmill, which was parked by his massive Pennsylvania-style bam between Flint Hill and Washington. Mr. Bird was turning oak trees that were two feet in diameter into floor joists. “It kills me to put all this beautiful oak into floor joists,” Mr. Bird was telling a visitor as Mr. Dwyer got out of his truck. “But it’s a great investment for Laura Majorana. She gets 2-by-12s as opposed to 11/2-by11s (the actual dimensions of lumberyard joists), and they’re out of rot-resistent, doubly-strong oak as opposed to spruce, which we humorously refer to as pretend lumber.” Mr. Bird turned off his machine, and the men spent 15 minutes discussing how Mr. Dwyer should repair a broken part on his sawmill: They studied the part on Mr. Bird’s sawmill; then Mr. Dwyer went off to fix his own. A few days later, Mr. Dwyer was found behind his house on Rt. 622 outside Sperryville, sawing some 200-year-old beams from a dismantled church into flooring. Obviously, the repair had worked. If there’s a difference between the Dwyer and Bird operations, it stems from the men’s private selves. Sam Dwyer is a sixth-generation na tive of these mountains, who earns most of his living creating fine furniture in Peter Kramer’s shop. Chris Bird grew up in Washington D.C. and graduated from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. He initiates bold projects, like training draft horses and building timber-frame homes. Mr. Bird’s self-designed, selfbuilt house reflects his eclectic interests: hand-hewn walnut beams across the ceiling; local granite shaped into counter tops; a mammoth stone fireplace that he assembled. On the hearth lies a heavyduty magazine, The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. Nearby shelves are crowded with books ranging from farming to philosophy. Mr. Bird likes to take his operation to the customer’s woods, where he’ll seek out standing dead trees if possible. “Why cut five ones,” he says, “when there’s plenty of dead ones to use?” This fits his desire to treat Mother Earth as kindly as possible. Mr. Bird can log the modern way—with his tractor, front-end loader and heavy-duty truck—or he can bring his draft horses into action, if the trees are on inaccessible slopes or if the landowners want as little damage as possible to their land. < “Chris handles a higher volume than I do,” explains Mr. Dwyer, as he positions a church beam before his blade. “I have to work slowly with much of the wood I get.” Mr. Dwyer got into sawmilling out of a desire to control, start to finish, the wood he uses in cabinetmaking. He has been sawing beams from dismantled churches and cotton mills this spring because there’s a fellow from Louisa, Dan Ward, who runs around the South scrounging these materials and bringing them to Mr. Dwyer for sawing. “A lot of people don’t want to saw wood like this because it’s full of nails and ruins their blades,” Mr. Ward says. “But Sam will do it, because he loves saving the wood. ” , Mr. Dwyer said the Ward job would probably force him to change his blades at least three times in a single day. Not only did the wood have nails, it was gritty on the outside and extremely hard. It was the heartwood of first-growth, long-leaf yellow pine—a wood gone forever, except as salavaged from old buildings. Mr. Dwyer’s blade trimmed off the gray beam, revealing stunning orange and red streaks in the yellow grain of the wood underneath. He ran his hand over it. “Have you ever seen anything so pretty?” he mused. Mr. Dwyer, his wife and young Four Woman Art Show Opens At Middle Street This Weekend The art show, Enter Nature, at the Middle Street Gallery, May 6-29, was born at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts in Sweet Briar where the four exhibiting artists discovered a common theme running through their work. While the sources of their work may differ, all make references,,directly or indirectly, to nature and organic forms. Linda E. Jones uses dreams as the intial voice for her paintings, responding intuitively as she works. The end result is abstract with a charged surface and evidence of building up and scraping away to reveal layers. Elizabeth Knowles explores the fundamental transformations of energy that construct ourselves and our environment, creating lacy biomorphic shapes that creep and flower, conjuring child-like connections with the universe. Roberta Delaney uses direct observation as a starting point for her personal vocabulary. The drawings, paintings and prints on exhibit reflect the visual richness of each medium. Lucile Miller’s photographs bring to light the fluid-solid, interactive aspects of nature. The evolution of shape and similarities between human and non human forms are explored. This show presents the full range of artist’s techniques: Painting, sculpture, photography, prints and drawings. The opening reception will be from 5-8 p.m. on Saturday, May 7. Gallery hours are from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday-Sunday or by appointment. Photo courtesy of Lucille Miller This photograph is included in the Enter Nature art show. John Dove stands beside logs destined for his sawmill. Chris Bird and Sam Dwyer discussed sawmill repairs. son live in a 100-year-old restored farmhouse at the foot of the mountains where Grandfather Dwyer ran a sawmill until the 1930s, when the creation of Shenandoah National Park forced the family into the foothills. “I haven’t thought much about it,” says Sam Dwyer, when asked whether it’s a coincidence that he’s returned to his grandfather’s craft. Whatever attracted Mr. Dwyer, Mr. Bird, Mr. Dove and Mr. Hitt to running their sawmills, this much is clear: it’s a benefit to the county. Mr. Hitt says house-framing lumber that would cost $35,000 at a lumber yard can be had from him for $2,500. “It might look rougher, but once you cover it with sheetrock and siding, what does it matter?” he says. And if you want something nice, “I can saw you siding prettier than you can ever buy,” he adds. Of course, you can’t expect these operations to churn out your lumber on a day’s notice, or even a week’s notice. But if you believe that anything worth having is worth waiting for, these sawmills might be for you. Besides, what’s a bit of time against the satisfaction of looking at a fence and knowing that those posts were once dead trees in your woods, given a second life beside your pasture?

We though it would never come. One of the best ways to shake off the effects of Spring Fever (they say) is to take a healthy dose of that traditional tonic called Spring Cleaning. It’s guaranteed to do a body good and make you feel better IF it’s done for a good cause and in a way that will help other people. That’s where the Lions come in. The Lions will guarantee that your annual “inventory” will be turned into real benefits for your neighbors. The Lions are out for their annaul prowl, hunting for all the things you no longer need. If your haven’t painted it recently, or even plugged it in, or don’t even know why you have it, or can’t remember who gave it to you, or why your wife bought it, or why you did, or when you got it for Christimas. Please don’t worry about it any more. Just give it to the Lions. Some of your neighbors can always use what you can just as well do without. Your cast-offs are our cash “crops.” If you have no way to deliver the things yourself, the Lions will come and pick up what you donated, sign an official receipt and your can “write it off’ as a deductible donation. Auction Chairman Lion Hubie Gilkey has set the date of Saturday, May 14 at the Washington Fire Hall, starting at 6 p.m. and lasting until everything is sold.

There is no shopping and no complicated preparations. She doesn’t have anything similar, and it will never become lost or worn. Shall I tell you more? Whether you are young or young at heart, here is the answer. Give Mom a spontaneous squeeze or surprise her with those ravonte wildflowers you gleefully gave to her as a child. Confide in her for the first time that occasion when she was “right after all”. Tell her how much she resembled a princess in that special silken dress with the flowing skirt. Give Mom the innocent adoration of childhood...the gift she thought was gone forever. As you worship this Mother’s Day remember that childhood innocence is the most priceless present we can give to Mother...and to God.

In 1863 Lincoln wrote: “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has even grown.

Day REALTOR CHECK OUR CHEAP REPAIRS Your home needs a new roof. You have two estimates: one from a professional contractor for $1,8000 and the other from two guys down the street who will do the job for only $800. Before making your decision, you should ask yourself the following: Are both bidding on the same job? Is the higher bid contractor intending to remove one or more layers of old shingles while the part-timers intend to just cover all the existing shingles? Is the high bidder adding insulation and weatherproof backing papers while the low-baller aren't? Is the high bidder suing a higher grade shingle offering better wear and fire protection? Is the high bidder willing to guarantee the work while the "guys" are "just doing the best we can?" Also, consider your liability. Roffing is not a job for amateurs. You must be sure that anyone working on your roof, professional or amateur, carry adequate liability insurance in case of accident. When two estimates vary greatly - always investigate more closely. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, the Clopton House, Washington, Va., 22747.
