Addresses Assigned For E-911 Program Switch Over, Road Signs Scheduled for Spring By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Letters are going out to county residents informing them of their new addresses. These addresses are being given out so that a call to the dispatch center in the Sheriffs office can be tied by computer to the location of the building from which the call came. The dispatchers can use this information to send fire trucks, ambulances or sheriffs deputies to the correct location to respond to an emergency. For those who receive their n^ail on rural routes, these will indeed be their new adI dresses. Those who receive their mail at post office boxes will not have an address change, but will need to put up signs indicating their E911 address to assist > emergency vehicles in finding their house. » The letters say the signs should be on the houses. In fact, if the house sits back from the road, the signs should be where they will be visible from the road, County Administrator John McCarthy said. Letters have gone out to postal patrons of Amissville, Viewtown, Castleton, Woodville, Boston and Chester Gap. Sperryville, Washington, Flint Hill and Huntly residents will get letters in December. Once everyone has been notified of their address, it will still be necessary to switch the system on. For that to happen Bell Atlantic and Sprint/Centel must cooperate. Mr. McCarthy is becoming somewhat exasperated with the companies.- He noted that Centel is the company taking the lead since it serves the county seat and approximately half the homes in the county. Bell Atlantic finds itself in the situation of being the junior partner for Rappahannock’s system. That is something new to the company, Mr. McCarthy said. He said he hopes the system will be switched on in January but fears it may be February or even March before that happens. Chris Salmon is in charge of the addressee E-911, Page A-6 \ Old Rag Bulletins Fund for Shannon \ Anyone interested in making a tax deductible contribution to the Shannon Shrader fund can mail their check and make it payable to “Project Rainbow,” Route 1 Box 257, Sperryville, Va. 22740.

The colonial dancers have been especially active with three-hour practices twice a week for each of the past several weeks. Diane Welty reports they have added new dances and will present programs at the Town Hall beginning at 2 p.m. each day and continuing throughout the day with a new program starting each hour during the festivities. The final performance each day will be by candlelight. There is no charge for these programs. Also at the Town Hall will be Santa’s Bake Shop with goodies from The Inn for sale to benefit the Child Care and Learning Center. Walking tours through the town are scheduled for 1, 3 and 5 p.m. each day. The tours are sponsored by the Rappahannock Historical Society. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Children at CCLC pose with the “Yo Yo” quilt donated by Pat McCarthy which will be raffled off Saturday. Fran Eldred, dressed in colonial garb, will present a fascinating history of the town with stops at three houses along the way. The tours will include the ballroom at the Eldred’s Washington House and the log-cabin homes of Louise van Dort and Ray Gooch. The walk through town is free, but tickets will be needed for the houses. They will cost $2 per house or a block ticket for all three for $5. Children’s block tickets are $1. Hot apple cider will be served at one of the houses; which one will be determined by the weather. Tickets can be purchased at the Historical Society or at the individual houses. The tours begin at the Historical Society building and end at the Town Hall. Music is important to any Christmas celebration, and Colonial Christmas is no exception. The weekend should provide a wide variety of carolers. Don Nielson is again organizing a group in colonial dress to stroll through the town offering music to visitors and residents alike. He said they would be out from 3 to 6 p.m. both days. They will sing at the Town Hall between performances by the Colonial Dancers and then go out into the street. They will be singing in fi*ont of shops or wherever people have gathered. The group varies from seven to eight members and includes one person playing a “colonial lute,” Mr. Nielson said. The choir from the First Baptist Church will also offer carols for guests Sunday afternoon., and county Girl Scouts will be caroling. Saturday afternoon starting at 1:30 at the Washing ton Fire Hall girls in Ginger Estes’s Brownie Troop 2021 will be caroling from a wagon drawn by horses wearing sleigh bells. There will also be special concerts. Trapezoid, the county’s best known musical group, will present concerts at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights at Ki Theatre. The concert celebrates the release of “Long Time Down This Road,” Trapezoid’s 20th anniversary retrospective available on CD and cassette. The music will include selections from this release and special music for the season. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Children are half price. Advance tickets are available at Mountainside Market in Washington. Call 987-3164 for more information. At The Theatre at Washington there will be a concert Saturday evening by the Smithsonian Chamber Players. This concert will include early carols and Baroque period music for the season. Tickets are $13.50 in advance, $15 at the door. Call 675-1253 for information or to make reservations. The concert begins at 8 p.m. with a pre-concert talk by James Weaver about early Christmas music beginning at 7:30 p.m. Food is also an important part of Christmas. The Washington Volunteer Fire Department will be hosting a Christmas dinner Saturday starting at 5 p.m. Ham, turkey and all the trimmings will be available for $10 for adults and $5 for children. For those who arrive in town early, See Colonial, Page A-6 County Chips In For Child's Trip By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Help from the community is pouring in for Shannon Shrader. An article ran in last week’s issue of the Rappahannock News telling of the plight of six year-old Shannon Shrader, who was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor this past summer. Her family hopes to take her on a trip to Disney World, and the Rappahannock community has been very generous in seeing that she gets that wish. Disney has donated the tickets for admission to the park for Shannon, her parents and sister, and local airline people are working to get tickets for the family. Donations will go for lodging and spending money, and for the airline tickets if they are not donated. In a letter to the editor of the Rappahannock News this week, Sherry Hamill-Huff reported that the County Fire and Rescue Association has pledged $100, and that amount was matched by the Castleton, Flint Hill and Amissville companies. She said that the other companies in the county need approval from their members before pledging any money, but she expects they will also meet the challenge. Mrs. Hamill-Huff said, “It makes me so proud to be a member of such a truly community-oriented organization. Hazel Zinn-Day, who is in charge of the fundraising, said that the response to the article about Shannon has been really good. She received a call from Jane Malian, president of the local Project Rainbow organization, offering the non-profit status of Project See Shannon, Page A-6 Blue Ridge Chris tmas Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick This mother and daughter admire sweaters at Country Manor last Friday.

BZA Approves B&B By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Members of the Board of Zoning Appeals granted a special use permit to David and Marilyn Armor of operryville for a bed and breakfast at last Wednesday’s meeting. The Armors have two small buildings on their property near Nethers which they plan to use for overnight guests. One is a carriage house which fronts on the river. Another building has two bedrooms, bathroom and living room, and was used as a bed and breakfast in the mid 1980s. Mrs. Armor said that she plans to deliver breakfast to her guests instead of having it served in her home. “We are not looking to expand and are not looking to live off this,” she said. The Armors also have a vineyard, and plan to have their own winery on the property in a couple of years. BZA member Sid Gottlieb visited the property. He said the existing sign meets the requirements for size, and that parking is adequate. One item was removed from the agenda. The BZA was to hear more about a special use permit application for a bed and breakfast from John and Maureen Parent, but the Parents withdrew their application the day preceding the BZA meeting. The Planning Commission had recommended denial of their application 1 at their October meeting. Looking for Bargains < Read the Classifieds!

For mystery fans, and followers of Mrs. Andreae’s writing, she will be signing copies of her newly-published novel at Cabin Fever Books on Gay Street in Washington on Sunday, Dec. 4, from 2 to 5 p.m. Her last local book signing was at the Rappahannock County Library in December, 1992, for her first published novel, Trail of Murder. The book starred Lee Squires, a Washington, D.C., professor and poet who moonlights as a camp cook in Montana. It was nominated for an Edgar award for Best First Mystery of 1992. It was optioned for a TV movie, and Worldwide will release a paperback edition in 1995. Grizzly is a follow-up to Trail of Murder, and once again sends Lee Squires from her routine life in Washington, D.C. to the wilderness of Montana. She is hired on as a cook at a friend’s dude ranch, and soon discovers a dead body. Another body is also found, and a grizzly bear is blamed for the killings, but Lee is certain that a two-legged suspect is to blame. Mrs. Andreae lives in Overall, Virginia, with her husband Fred, and they often vacation in Montana. She is also an adjunct professor of English at Lord Fairfax Community College and is a freelance journalist.

Clarence Pendleton from that team received the tournament’s “most valuable player” trophy for his “good all around game and sportsmanship.” The blue team won the championship with a daunting 76 to 49 victory over the jade green team coached by Gary Settle. Daniel Vander Kolk was high scorer for the blue team with 13 points followed by Michael Ray Williams with 12. Butch Foster scored 12 points for the green team. In Saturday night’s other game the red team coached by Mike Payne defeated the grey team coached by Mike Atkins 55 to 53. That game was tight throughout with a number of time outs in the last seconds. Saturday’s matchups were determined by Friday night games. The blue team advanced to the championship game with an 80 to 67 victory over the grey team in the first mat chup. That game was much closer than the final score suggests, with 53 seconds left the grey team called a time out down 72 to 67, but that strategy did no good as the blue team ran off the next eight points. In Friday night’s second game the green team defeated the red team 48 to 39. The score was tied several times in the first half, but the greens ended the half with a 29 to 18 lead and never surrendered the lead again. The Alumni Basketball Tournament raised nearly $800 for the Athletic Department. ’■ v V Darby In Talent Search . \, Ann Darby, a student at St. Luke’s Intermediate School in Culpeper was selected to participate in the 1995 Young Students Talent Search. i COT YOOR OWN CHRISTMAS TREE at Jubalea in Beautiful Rappahannock County DOUGLAS FIR............$25 (tax incl.)

Tr>e Au<J»t WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30,1994 £-977 Letters are going out to everybody in Rappahannock County informing them of their new addresses for the Enhanced 911 emergency dispatch system called E-911 for short. So far those in Amissville, Viewtown, Castleton, Chester Gap, Woodville and Boston have been mailed letters. Letters for Washington, Sperryville, Flint Hill and Huntly are due to go out by the end of November. Apparently there were mistakes with the zip code for Castleton residents, but these are being corrected. Most of this addressing has gone smoothly. Once the system is in place, sometime in late winter or early spring, a telephone call to 911 will produce information on a computer screen at the dispatch center in the Sheriffs office showing where the call came from. The new addresses will appear along with a map showing the location of the building from which the call came. Also displayed, if people have informed Autometric, the company handling this project, is information on health problems the people in the house have to aid emergency workers when they respond. The E-911 system will enable rescue squads to respond even if the person calling cannot tell them how to get to the house, and even if the caller loses Consciousness. The various fire and rescue companies will have maps of the county in their vehicles showing the location of each occupied building, even those without a telephone. This should speed emergency service and is the most sophisticated service available. County telephone users have been paying for this service for several years through a $2 per month surcharge on their telephone bills. This has enabled the county to purchase the E-911 system. The charge will be decreased this summer to an amount needed to maintain the data base in the system. County citizens should be gratified this process has been as smooth as it has been. The county escaped most of the wrangling about road names that several surrounding counties faced. Rappahannock also escaped jurisdictional battles about dispatching that plagued Culpeper and the sticker shock that hit Fauquier. If Bell Atlantic and Centel can finally agree on how their data can fit into the system, Rappahannock should shortly have a system second to none at a very reasonable cost. The Fire and Rescue Association, which pushed for the system, and the county administration, which has implemented it, deserve our thanks. Shannon's Trip Once again we can marvel at the generosity of Rappahannock’s people. The response to an article in last week’s Rappahannock News about Shannon Shrader, a county six-year old who is battling brain cancer, and her mother’s desire to see that she gets a trip to Disney World has set in motion processes that may very well accomplish the Kelly family’s goal. The Bear family, home from Chicago for the Thanksgiving holiday, read about Shannon and decided they will try to use their contacts with United Airlines, Mr. Bear’s employer, to provide transportation for the family. We don’t know yet whether United will help. Jane Mullan arranged to have Project Rainbow, a county tax-exempt organization that helps people with cancer, be the collecting agency for donations to the Kelly family. Charles and Fran Eldred, members of the Washington Business Council, have pledged 10 percent of their receipts from customers in their lighting shop this Colonial Christmas weekend to the fund for Shannon Shrader funneled through Project Rainbow. The Eldreds are challenging other county businesses to join them by also pledging a percentage of their receipts. The county Fire and Rescue Association and several of the individual squads have responded with donations. Others are expected to follow suit. 4-H leader Hazel Zinn-Day has risen to the challenge of coordinating all of this. She reports that by last Wednesday evening several offers of help were coming in, and what seemed an impossible dream a week ago now seems almost within reach.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Letters to the Editor Constituants Thanked To the Editor: An item in the Nov. 16 Rappahannock News which was unfortunately buried in fine print on p. A5, noted that I had received two writein votes for Congressman in the 10th Congressional District election. Now that the results are in, I would like to thank my constituents for their unflagging support, which enabled me to win such a decisive victory over Marion Sharp who was repoted in the same fine print to have had one write-in vote. In the aftermath of the Disney debacle, it should be noted, Mickey Mouse, that perennial write-in, didn’t even make it to the playing field, much less to the score board. My candidacy, which I had not foreseen, and the closely fought election itself, came so quickly that I never got to prepare a campaign platform. *To repair this omission, I wish to assure my constituency that, had I been elected, I would have stood four-square on the following planks: • Meaningful campaign finance reform. • Single-payer health care for all Americans. • Significant defense reductions to reflect changes following the end of the cold war. • Requiring every member of Congress—House and Senate—to complete his or her own tax return without assistance, followed by an IRS audit. • Abolition of the death penalty, except for certain people of whom I keep a little list. • Fiscal responsibility and deficiet reductions. • A compassionate address to welfare reform (i.e., a chicken in every pot.) • Virtue of all sorts. So, thanks again, my constitu-1 ency, for your support. Eat your hearts out, you who neglected my candidacy! I’ll still be around in ‘96, unless I’m caught by the term limit set for me by Higher Authority. LEE BIRD Washington No Term Limits To the Editor: H.L. Mencken wrote: “There is always an easy solution to every human problem—neat, plausible and wrong.” Such a solution is term limits for members of Congress; the latest pusher of this snake oil is Newt Gingrich. It is certainly a real problem that Congress is loaded with members who are mainly skilled at getting elected, and at raising large sums of money to get re-elected, but there are also plenty of good members. The proper solution for this problem is real campaign reform to correct the present system that heavily favors incumbents over challengers. The voters could then more easily throw the bums out and re-elect the good ones. The last two elections have shown that even with this bias, it is possible to defeat “powerful” incumbents who have disappointed their constituents. Reform would make it easier. There are at least two good arguments against term limits. First, it is just not right for any group of voters, however large, to tell another group whom they can choose to represent them. I don’t want the voters N£\fsJ vf This new E911 thing is reminiscent of when you took medicine as a kid. ..you hated it, but, you knew it was good for you! of New York or California telling me I can’t decide for myself whether my member of Congress deserves reelection. What busines is it of theirs? The second reason is based on the way that laws are written. The team that drafts a law consists of members of Congress, the staffs of their committees, the members of the federal bureaucracy most interested in the subject matter, and the expert and expensive lobbyists paid by the special interests who have the most to gain or lose from the legislation. Under term limits, the players who will know the least about the law and its probable effects and who will have the least time to think about it, will be the new kids on the block, the members of Congress who are supposed to speak for the people. Term limits No! Campaign reform Yes! AUGUSTUS C. JOHNSON Syria No, To Sewer System To the Editor: I hope the residents and landowners of the town of Washington are giving serious thought to the question of a public sewer system. Do you have a perfectly satisfactory septic system on your land? It is all but certain that most do. Would you be willing, nonetheless, to have your lawn or garden dug up for a community sewer line and the priviledge of receiving yet another monthly service bill? That hardh seems likelv. Whereas it might i jar that a town sewer would be a charitable boon to low income families whose septic systems may be in disrepair or who must rely on more primitive facilities, there is the distinct possibility that the major beneficiary of this proposed project would be, instead, the largest and wealthiest business venture in Washington. As it is, the “Inn” has a sizeable tract of real estate tied up as its drain field. This, I am told, is the large lot behind the Post Office: certainly, in the eyes of its owners at least, too valuable a tract for its present use. A town sewer, quite obviously, would liberate this land for more lucrative developments. Fuelling my suspicion that this proposed sewer would be, in the main, a landowner-subsidised asset to the “Inn” is the fact that one of the “Inn’s” owner had manged to be elected to the Town Council. From what I read in the paper some years ago, one would think he’d have been permanently disqualified from the post. He was not, however, and is now in a position to manipulate town politics to further his own ends. I do not live in the town of Washington, but I own a house on a lot on Piedmont Avenue. This lot has a very satisfactory septic system, the drainfield of which, as do many drainfields on their respective lots, serves also to water and nourish the land. The land utilises and purifies this waste water. To pump it all into the Rush River would be a crime against the environment as well as a theft from, and financed by, the landowners. Let’s not let this happen. JOHN CADWALADER, JR. Woodville Fire and Rescue Squads Respond To the Editor: I am so proud and excited to be a part of the Fire and Rescue organization in Rappahannock County. Not only are the members quick to respond to situations where life and property are at risk, but they are equally eager to help when there are other types of needs in the community. Specifically, their response to the plea from the Shannon Schrader Fund has been, at least to me, nothing less than thrilling. When advised of Shannon’s plight, the County Fire and Rescue Association pledged $100 and that was quickly matched by the companies from Castleton, Flint Hill and Amissville. The remaining companies had to take the proposal to their full membership at their regular monthly business '.ni .‘tings, but they foresaw no problem meeting the Assoication’s challenge. Again, it makes me so proud to be a member of such a truly community-oriented organization. SHERRY HAMMILL-HUFF Flint Hill Refund May Be Due To the Editor: You may be entitled to a state and federal income tax refund if you purchased your home after Dec. 31, 1990. Most people do not know of an IRS ruling which now allows you to deduct “points” paid in connection with the purchase of your home, even if the, points were paid by the seller of the property (so-called “seller-paid Points”). A copy of the IRS ruling is available at my office for you (63 Main Street, Warrenton, 118 1/2 E. Main Street, Front Royal). ' The IRS now views the points paid by the seller of the property as an adjustment to the purchase price of the home. The seller is viewed as haying paid the amount of the sellerpaid points to the buyer; the buyer is considered to have used this cash to pay the points charged by the lender. You can file a separate amended >\ return (Form 1040X for federal tax, If and Form 760 for your VA tax). You • can call the local VA Tax Office at 675-3513 in Rappahannock. The number for your federal tax is 1-800829-1040. You will need a copy of your settlement statement (often referred to as the “HUD-1”) receivedf* at the closing. Try to file both the ! state and federal returns at the same; time. If you bought your house in : 1991, file before Dec. 31, 1994, because of the usual three-year limit on filing amended returns. You may call me at 341-1993 if you have question or if I can be of help in any other matter. JAY KATZEN Del. 31st District

From Page A-l ►E-911 sing system for Autometric, the company that won the contract to bring the system to Rappahannock. He reported that in general roads were numbered from south to north and from west to east. Exceptions are roads less than one mile long which enter the county from Culpeper and Fauquier counties. In those cases the numbering system started in the neighboring county continues into Rappahannock. That is also the case for Crest Hill Road which runs for more than one mile from Fauquier County to Flint Hill, he said. The Sperryville Pike is numbered from Sperryville to the Culpeper County line, and U.S. 211, Lee Highway, is numbered from the park boundary to the county line. As one travels from lower to higher numbers the odd numbers are on the left and the even numbers are on the right, he said. Letters are going out one zip code at a time, so that Mr. Salmon can handle the questions the letters have raised. One problem is already being corrected; Castleton residents were given the wrong zip code and letters of correction are being sent. There is generous provision for growth in the system. With the numbering, system being used 200 addresses are possible for each mile of road, 100 on each side. Of course most have not been assigned, but knowing there are 200 to the mile means someone trying to find an address will know approximately how far to go. In the Town of Washington the numbering system is denser with 100 possible addresses for each block. The final piece needed to make the system function as it is supposed to is road signs. The General Assembly passed legislation providing that VDOT can use secondary road improvement funds to purchase and install the signs. Mr. McCarthy said he contacted VDOT two months ago to let the contract for Rappahannock’s signs. Robert Moore, resident engineer in the Warrenton office, reported VDOT is still working on drafting the contract. David Stanley is the VDOT employee actually drawing up specifications for the contract. Mr. Stanley said the specifications have to be specific for each sign. The signs for secondary roads are six inches high and no more than 42 inches long. Primary road signs are nine inches high and no more than 48 inches long, he said. In the case of a road named for example “Gid Brown Hollow Road” or “Bessie Bell Mountain Road” fitting the letters onto the maximum length may be a problem, he said. They may use narrower letters, or as a last resort, they may use smaller letters, he said. Once he has finished drafting the contract, it will be reviewed in the district and state offices before going out for bids. He said it will probably be March or even April before the winning contractor is actually putting signs up. ►Shannon J From Page A-l Rainbow for use as a way for contributions to Shannon’s cause to be taxdeductible.

The Eldreds mailed out a letter on Nov. 25 to members of the Washington Business Council, challenging those businesses to donate a percentage of their business during the Colonial Christmas weekend. The Eldreds will be donating ten percent of their weekend income. Along with their letter, the Eldreds included a sheet of paper for business owners to display, indicating what percentage would be donated to Shannon from the weekend’s receipts and a copy of the article and photograph from last week’s newspaper on Shannon and her family. / In the Eldreds’ letter, they said, “The goal...should be easily attainable if we all join in the effort.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan High scorer Rob De Bergh loads his shotgun. Brooke Fletcher takes aim at a flying clay target. Sporting Clays Come to Rappahannock By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Sporting Clays, an increasingly popular activity nationally, has also arrived in Rappahannock County. Fletcher Eastham hosts organized shoots at his family’s Ben Venue Farm most weekends and from time to time during the week. Late last spring he purchased a Trap House for throwing clay targets and enough gates for 13 different stands. The targets come in various sizes, and the trap house shoots them out in different patterns in imitation of game birds or rabbits. Last Sunday’s shoot included Bill and Brooke Fletcher, Mrs. Fletcher’s brother-in-law Dowell Tye from New York City, Rob and Jack De Bergh and Dennis Fairbrother. That particular course was new to Mr. Fairbrother and Mr. Tye. The others had attended Mr. Eastham’s shoots before. The shoot begins with a mandatory safety lecture. Shooters can only chamber two shells. They are to chamber them while standing in a gate immediately before shooting and they must break the gun down as soon as they finish at that particular station. There are two targets in each round and two rounds at each stand except the last with one round. So a perfect score is 50. In Sunday’s shoot Rob De Bergh was high scorer with 29. Mr. Eastham said the highest score at his range was 45 in a tournament he held earlier this month and “most people here shoot in the 20s or low 30s. ” Each round presents a different challpntrp Hiffprpnt tnrorpfn and Hif ferent angles on the targets. The first is one called “hare and a feather.” The first target skips along the ground; the second sails through the air. This is hardly like any real hunting situation. The shooters take turns, joshing and encouraging each other. There are four shots possible here, and few hit more than two of them. Next is two birds, followed at the next stand by “followers,” a pair of rabbits. At each station Mr. Eastham calls out “trapper ready” followed by the shooter answering “pull.” Station six is called a “nesting pair” or “stacked pair,” two birds, one smaller than the other' appearing almost at once. “The pain you feel when you miss a shot is like hitting a bad shot in golf,” Mr. Fairbrother explains, “especially when you miss two.” At station 7 Mrs. Fletcher holds the shotgun high. “Start the gun low and come high,” Mr. Fletcher suggests. She gets both. “Good tip,” she says, pleased. Mr. Fairbrother’s gun jams, ammunition with not enough powder, the other shooters suggest, and he borrows theirs. The same thing happens at station 8. “I guess I’d better get more powder,” he says. “Either that or clean your gun,” Mr. Fletcher kids and loans him more shells. Sleet begins to fall. Cattle grazing nearby seem unperturbed; neither the weather nor the shooting causes noticeable concern. Mr. Fairbrother leaves to take his family to the U Va-Maryland soc Trapezoid Photo courtesy of Trapezoid and Henry Eastwood Cecil Hooker, Martha Sandefer and Paul Reisler of Trapezoid will appear in concert Friday and Saturday evening at Ki Theatre. Fletcher Eastham readies a target. The trap house can be moved like a trailer. cer game. At station 10 Mr. Eastham hurls out what he calls “stealth targets,” two smaller black targets that cross each other’s path and appear grey as they spin against the backdrop of rolling hills. At station 11 the two targets rise high and then arc down. When a target is hit, sometimes it explodes. At other times a smaller orange piece flies off. Station 13 is another “hare and a feather.” Mr. Eastham is kept busy throughout, loading and firing targets, and on Sunday also keeping score. The shoot over, some are ready for another round; others head off for other Sunday activities. Shooters bring their own shotguns and shells. A round costs $15. Mr. Eastham has organized the “Big Woods Hunt Club" among his regular customers. For members a ticket good for 10 shoots costs $125. Mr. Easth&m announced results from the “If It Flies, It Dies” Sporting Clays Mini Tournament sponsored by his Big Woods Hunt Club at Ben Venue Farm earlier this month. On Sunday, November 13 in Division III AAA, James McGowan of Clarksburg, Md., was first with David Heisler of Dickerson, Md., second, Woods Brotzman of Catlett third and Boyd Spellman of Amissville fourth. « In Division II AA, Brad Johnson of Tom’s Brook was first with Tom Leatherbury of McLean second, John Justics of McLean third and a fourth place tie between John Combs of Warrenton and Lake Meadows of Amiss ville. In Division I A, Bill Davis of Amissville was first and Henry Digges of Amissville second. In the Special Division, Dick Mason of Front Royal was first and Jeff Hill of Winchester second. ' In the Junior Division, Ryan Mason of Front Royal was first, Gary Pyles of Baltimore, Md., second, Dave Mason of Capital Heights, Md., third and Scott Anderson of Richmond fourth. In the Ladies’ Division, Ruth Arehart of Richmond was first, A low, unpredictable target immitating a rabbit skips along the ground. Edna Verrier of Potomac, Md., second, Cynthia Moyer of Washington, D.C., was third and Julie Lee of Leesburg was fourth. For more information on sporting clay shoots call Mr. Eastham at 675-1769. Dowell Tye, Jimmy De Bergh and Rob De Bergh watch Dennis Fairbrother shoot. RAAC To Sponsor Dickens Play One hundred fifty-two years after his first visit, the British literary genius Charles Dickens returns to Virginia recreating his energetic, theatrical public readings. “Dickens: The Christmas Tour,” a one-man, one hour show written and performed by Steve Stigwood, will tour 14 theaters, colleges, museums, historic churches and courthouses in eastern Virginia throughout December. As a holiday gift to the community, The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community will present the show at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 18 at The Theatre in Washington. Free tickets are available from the Rappahannock Public Library, The Middle Street Gallery, The Country Cafe, Faith Mountain in Sperryville and Settle’s Grocery in Flint Hill. A reception with Mr. Stigwood and the cast and crew of Ki Theatre’s “The Kings Play” follows the show at the Rappahannock County Extension office. “The Three Kings Play” begins at 5 p.m. at Ki Theatre, so the reception will offer a chance to socialize between shows for folks who would like to attend both. A $2 per person donation is requested for the reception. Dickens first visited American in 1842, when he and his wife took a steamer (“not unlike a child’s Noah’s ark informed with the machinery on the top of the roof,”) from Washington, D.C. down the Potomac River to a steamboat landing on Potomac Creek in Stafford County. There they boarded one of seven stage coaches to Fredericksburg, then caught a train to Richmond. Dickens visited Richmond to see a working plantation with slaves. British actor and playwright Steve Stigwood uses Christmas as a starting point to focus the spotlight on the tormented creative genius. Throughout the performace, Stigwood slips in and out of characters from such Dickens pieces as “A Christmas Carol” and “The Haunted Man” to dramatize the significance of Christmas to Dickens’s family life and work. Stigwood dramatizes other Dickens characters from “Oliver Twist,” “Nicholas Nickelby,” “Dombey and Son,” “Hard Times,” and more as he tells fascinating stories about important moments in Dickens’s life. “Charles Dickens: The Christmas Tour” is sponsored by People Oil Company of Warsaw and The Westmoreland Players, a community theatre company located in Hague. For more information on the performance, call Page Smith at 987-9158.
