Rappahannock News, April 3, 1996

48th Year, No. 14_ 12 Pages Bnrr«rffi'cirgni«tk>n WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1996 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3338 50 Cents Board Gets '97 Budget E-911 Tax To Drop By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer County Administrator John McCarthy gave the Board of Supervisors a preliminary $9.6 million budget with just iover $182,000 more in spending than income under current tax rates at Monday ’s meeting. ^ The budget is actually down from last year’s $10.2 million budget because last year’s budget included half the $1.6 million cost of putting the new cell in at the landfill. The supervisors set 7 p.m. on Monday, April 29, at the high school auditorium as the date for a public hearing on the school budget which accounts for 65 percent of the total county budget. Following that public hearing the supervisors will have work sessions to determine how much to cut the budget or raise tax rates. They will approve a school budget at their regular meeting May 6. In his presentation Mr. McCarthy said the budget will change because many figures are not final yet. He said he did not expect any of the changes to be major. The supervisors also heard a presentation by Richard Funk of dBF Associates on proposals for building a vocational education wing bn the high school. They also agreed to visit Carver-Piedmont Vocational Center April 11. They approved a proposal to have building inspector Richie Burke act as E-911 coordinator. Mr. Burke will be paid just under $7,000 for the extra position, and other costs of his office will be split between the building inspector budget and E-911 budget. Additional costs for keeping the E-911 data base up to date will mean a cost of about $3,500 per month, Mr.McCarthy estimated. The Fire and Rescue Association had strongly recommended appointing Mr. Burke to the position noting his long service as chief of the Sperryville Fire Department, his familiarity as building inspector with where new houses are being built which will have to be added to the E-911 data base, and the convenience of his office to other county gov-. emment offices. Mr. McCarthy said the cost of maintaining E-911 with Mr. Burke as coordinator could be covered by a fee of $1.10 per telephone per month, but he recommended the current $2 per month surcharge for E-911 be reduced to $1.30 to ppwiHe for unexpected expenses. He said theboard could look at the surcharge again in October to see if it could be reduced further. The board voted to reduce it to $1.50 and look at the charge again in October. Chairman Hubert Gilkey said, “We know that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” 1 Old Rag Bulletins Spring Forward Daylight Savings Time begins early Easter Sunday morning.

J / He said it had been argued that the dumpsters be kept open because otherwise people will just throw their trash on the side of the road. “The common low life people should set public policy,” he said, not the elected representatives or “the fine” people who had come out to speak at the meet* . •ng. J He said the supervisors could not have, chosen two “more perfect locations” for dumpsters than Scrabble witli its historic Black school and Huntly “as close as possible td a primary road so you can not only see it but smell it, close to a stream....We don’t want to take personal responsibili* ty—Mr. Chairman, closing the dumpsters down is not the American way,” he concluded. Roger Welch took on the challenge of answering that “I appreciate Mike’s attempt at humor, because that’s all it was. We have collected over 1,600 signatures. The people believe we can correct the problems.” He said he under* stood that for people who use the Scrabble dumpsters a trip to the landfill instead would be 70 miles round trip. Frank Huff said he agreed. “It’s pretty clear what people prefer. It’s not pleasant, but it is a matter of convenience.” — Henry Gorfein, speaking for county Democrats, said the supervisors had to do “everything possible toVind an acceptable trash disposal solution.” He said whatever solu- ■ tion the supervisors come up with, they should see* citizen input Jack Dwyer said, “Over half of the voters disagree with the action you enunciated of closing the dumpsters without any alternative.” 1 * . William Foster suggested the county consider creating its own trash hauling service. “It’s amazing there hasn’t been a lawsuit at Huntly” he said, because of people getting _ htirt crawling around in the dumpsters.

Estes said, “I think people would feel better ifwe give than * See Dumpster, Page A-6 Man Acqftited in Child Sexual Abuse Trial By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer After an emotionally charged two day trial on charges of child sexual abuse, Scott Randolph Stewart was acquitted by a jury of four men and eight women. The jury deliberated for just 10 minutes before delivering their verdict: not guilty on all counts. Mr. Stewart, who is 32 and now lives in Atlanta, was indicted last November on two counts of aggravated sexual battery and two counts of taking indecent liberties with a child. The complaining witness was a 13 year-old girl who claimed that Mr. Stewart sexually abused her in 1988 when she was five years old and then again when she was six years old. The first person she told of the alleged abuse was her mother, whom she told May, 1995. In his opening statements to the jury, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke told them that Mr. Stewart had been an employee of the alleged victim’s mother who lived in her house in Flint Hill in exchange for taking care of the house (the girl and her mother lived elsewhere full-time and they visited the house in Flint Hill mostly on Saturdays just for the day). He told the jury, “No matter who testifies in this courtroom, only two people know what happened.” ’ Mr. Stewart was represented by two attorneys, Becky Moore and James Clark. Mr. Clark told the jury that the girl was a troubled young child. Speaking of his , client, he said, “This is one of the most horrific things a person could be accused of: taking advantage of a child.” He explained that a romantic relationship had developed between Mr. Stewart and the girl’s mother and that in 1989 they had gone their separate ways. When the girl was only 2 1/2 years old she had accused her own father of sexual abuse, said Mr. Clark. He claimed that the girl’s mother sees a child abuser in anyone who looks sideways at her daughter. In testifying, the girl went into graphic details about what she claimed the defendant did to her on two occasions in 198& She said that he threatened to cease being her mother’s boyfriend if she told anyone about the incident. She claimed that he alsd told her that her mother knew about th4( (alleged) abuse but that she didn’t care. * The girl said that recently she had had bad dreams, has an ulcer, and that her school work has been affected to the point that the private school she attends has asked her to leave. Though the mother testified that Mr’ Stewart had left her Flint Hill house and her See Trial, Page A-6 Wolf Says Party Keeping Promises Fresh from votes to increase the debt ceiling and keep the government open through April 24, Congressman Frank R. Wolf, R-lOth District, met with Rappahannock citizens in a town meeting at the county library Friday afternoon. He said both sides made mistakes in the impasse that shut the government down, and that took attention away from the effort to balance the budget. He said the Republican Party had kept its promises to the voters, passing almost all the proposals in the Contract with America. He said remaining business includes passing the budget and a tax reduction that includes cutting taxes on capital gains and giving a $500 per child tax credit to families. He defended his environmental record saying he had voted against a bill that would have “gutted” the clean water act and promoting additions to the National Park system. He said Congress had favored “more of a balance” in wetlands legislation. One voter read out a litany of complaints against Congress and the government. “Congress has little concern for the average citizen....The national capital is a disgrace....Whit’s wrong that you can’t get a budget passed? It’s politics as usual. The government is out of control, like an octopus with tobacco grower subsidies, boosters flown to football games and tax shelters for business while the working class is struggling to stay ajive.It seems all elected officials care about is parties, political or otherwise.” See Wolf, Page A-6 Comet Hayakutake Photo courtesy ol Kevin Day Kevin Day managed to get this photograph of Hauakutake at 4:30 a.m. last Wednesday morning using a 40 second shutter speed and 400 speed film.

He has not heard definitely what - state aid to expect next year but said he believes the budget estimate of the Same funding as last year will be right. The board agreed to stick to a fee of $2 for interlibrary loans although that does not cover the full cost and take another look at the issue in six months after Mr. Shaffer does a study of who is using the service and for what purposes. Policy Committee Chairman Charlotte Nichols said, “I feel it’s only a matter of time before we have challenges, people wanting to censor what we have in our library. Wve’d better prepare ourselves.” She reported that a review of policies shows the library is prepared to deal with requests to remove books following guidelines generally laid down by the American Library Association. The board agreed any volunteer who receives such a request should^ simply give the person a copy of the form to be used and report the incident to Mr. Shaffer. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR BEEF COMES FROM?

Gomez Third in State Speechmaking By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer RCHS senior Tano Gomez placed third in state competition in extemporaneous speaking on foreign affairs. His trip to state competition started as the Bull Run District level where he placed first and junior Nancie Gallegos placed second. In l that competition Jim Clark also placed first in extemporaneous speakI ing on domestic issues, but he was j unable to continue to regional compej tition because it conflicted with the Westinghouse Science Talent Search. In regional competition Tano placed second and Nancie was fourth. Each contestant draws from a j bag of potential topics. They pull I three and pick one then put the other f two back. They then have one half | hour to prepare a persuasive speech I on the topic. They can use articles | from the past three months from Time, Newsweek and U.S. News 3 and World Report. At the district level there was only one speech, but at the regional level that increased to three, and at state Tano had to give four speeches. This is the first year RCHS had tried to field a team in forensic competition, and adviser Jon Heddleston who teaches public speaking, said they decided to start with extemporaneous speaking. Future years may bring debate teams, he said. Tano’s speeches at the state level covered the Russian election, the Japanese election, illegal immigration and the case of an American who has been sentenced to life in prison in Peru. At the regional level Nancie spoke on Colombian drug lords, the Syrian-Israeli peace talks and changes in the European economy. They found the entire process fascinating. They found that other schools have full forensic teams with j Essay; Poster, Cleanup ! Contests for TV-Turnoff i 5 Rappahannock children in grades R-12 (or the equivalent) are invited to i participate in two contests — creative | writing and poster — to mark | National TV-Tumoff Week, April 24■| 30. They are also invited to join their •J parents and neighbors for a roadside cleanup campaign that will coincide with TV-Tumoff Week. The writing entry may be prose or poetry, with a 500-word maximum length. The topic is: “What I Think About TV.” Entries will be evaluated on an age-appropriate basis, with special emphasis on originality of ideas and freshness of expression. Entries Corrections The telephone number to call for kindergarten registration was incorrect in last Week’s Rappahannock News. It is 987-8259. One of the soccer players forming the wall in a photograph was incorrectly identi' fled. He is John Switzer'. The video arcade will go into the building with Mid State Electric Motors in back. The firm’s name was incorrect. ; ; The Rappahannock News ■ regrets the errors. should be labeled with the writer’s name, age, address and phone number. The poster should be submitted on standard-sized paper (8 « x 11, 17 x 22, etc.), with the artist’s name, age, address and phone number printed clearly on the reverse side. Poster submissions will be forwarded to a national poster contest sponsored by HearthSong Inc., unless the artist (or parent) requests that the submission be returned. HearthSong’s grand prize is $1,000. Posters will be evaluated on the basis of originality, graphic design, color, composition and clarity. The theme should be TV’s effects on community life, family life, education, health, or the environment. Cash prizes will be awarded to the three top entries from grades 8-12. At the elementary level, first, second and third-place trophies will be awarded. Entries should be left at the front office at RCHS for Sharon Wyrrick’s attention. RCES students may turn in their entries to their school office. Deadline for submission is May 3. Another activity planned for National TV-Tumoff Week is a county-wide cleanup of road shoulders. Hunt Harris, who is coordinating the cleanup, points out that picking up trash can be a fun, invigorating way of spending time together as a family. , A $100 cash prize will be awarded to the family, neighborhood group, Scout troop or to any other individual or organization who fills the most bags with roadside trash. Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sharon Kilparick Nancie Gallegos and Tano Gomez have represented RCHS well in forensic competitions. special varsity jackets and files of material to use in research. Nancie reported she could make friends more easily with students from other schools in that kind of competition than she can competing in sports. They clearly are excited about the possibility of seeing forensic competition grow at RCHS. As a part of that effort Mr. Heddleston had an in-class debate last week. The students picked the topic: “Resolved: That HIV-positive athletes should be prohibited from competing in contact sports — both amateur and professional.” Cari Kerr and Julie Bankston volunteered to argue in the affirmative and Jim Clark and Willie Eastham volunteered to argue for tfie negative side. Each person could speak for 10 minutes. The debate covered part of two class periods with one speaker for the affirmative side and one speaker for the negative side each day. The girls argued that AIDS is a spreading epidemic affecting more and more women and minorities, and until a cure is found athletes should be tested before each competition. They provided a wealth of statistics. The boys dismissed the statistics as irrelevant and argued that the chances of getting the AIDS virus through participation in sports is minimal. In true competitive debate each speaker would also get to question one person on the other side, and there would be rebuttal speeches with the affirmative side having the last say. In the abbreviated version in class the students’ classmates judged the competition and voted overwhelmingly for the negative side. Mr. Heddleston pointed out that the affirmative side has the greater burden because they must propose a change while the negative side can hold out for current conditions. Mr. Heddleston believes Rappahannock students can compete with the best in forensics, which involves prepared speeches and interpretive readings as well as three kinds of debate and extemporaneous speaking. “They have natural skills and are extroverted,” he said. “I don’t believe other schools have students with such great personalities.” Teens Take Part in Conference Scott Updike and Mary Beth Williams, 4-H teen members, were among 60 teens who participated in the 1996 Youth Leadership Conference sponsored by the Virginia Council of Farmer Cooperatives on March 29-31 at Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria. This statewide conference teaches youth about the cooperative way of business. Scott reported, “We were divided into teams to set up a business. The financial part was set up on the computer using spreadsheets the same as a bookkeeper for a business would do.” He added that it was very enjoyable and educational. Prior to attending the conference, Scott and Mary Beth interviewed Gordon Thornhill, manager of Rappahannock Farmers’ Co-op to leam about cooperatives. Local cooperatives throughout Virginia provided scholarships to 4-H members who attended. Scott was sponsored by the Rappahannock Farmers’ Co-op in Sperryville and Mary Beth’s trip was sponsored by the Rappahannock Electric Co-op in Culpeper which serves customers in Rappahannock County.

The group of men offer to paint a house or bam and ask for a down payment. They take the money and do not return. Sheriff Settle said they have been seen driving a red stake body truck, a blue and grey late model Dodge truck and a white Camaro. All the vehicles have South Carolina license plates, he said. State Police reported three traffic accidents in the county last week. Last Wednesday about 6:40 p.m., Charles Putnam, 36, of Amissville, was driving a 1984 Chevy pickup on Route 637, one mile north of Route 645, when he ran off the right side of the road, overcorrected, and ran off the left side of the road and struck a tree. According to Trooper Wayne Sumner, Mr. Putnam did receive some injuries. The truck had $2,000 damage, and Mr. Putnam was charged by Trooper Mike Woodard with reckless driving. A 16 year-old male from Castleton did $2,000 ^damage to his 1986 Ford pickup last Thursday evening on Route 647 in Flint Hill,. 1/2 mile north of Route 637. He ran off the right side of the road and overturned after striking a tree, said Trooper Sumner. Trooper Woodard charged him with reckless driving. Jessica Capuria, 18, of Amissville, was charged by Trooper Sumner with failure to drive on the right side of the highway last Friday afternoon. She was driving a 1988 Mazda on Route 626, one mile north of Route 616, when she entered a curve on the wrong side of the roadand struck a 1988 GMC pickup driven by John Robert Sherman, 26, of Manassas. Ms. Capuria’s vehicle sus- I tained $3,000 damage and Mr. * Sherman’s pickup had $4,000 dam- * age.

If so the whole process may have been worthwhile, and Mike Massie’s statement that nothing would happen as long as the dumpsters remained open has been, at least partially, supported by subsequent events. ' It seems that the threat of facing constituents with no alternative to driving to Amissville or paying someone else to do it has pushed the issue to the forefront and forced some hard decisions. And perhaps it was necessary to face those who find the dumpsters in Scrabble and Huntly convenient with the prospect of driving to Amissville to make them reconcile themselves to driving to a location near Washington. At Monday’s meeting the supervisors agreed to pursue purchasing property between the two schools for such a purpose and to use ' the condemnation process if necessary. • They now must deal with a budget that provides no funds for operating such a center. They must also push the project along realty fast if they are to meet their self-imposed July 1 deadline. It .seems likely it will not be possible to have such a center open in time, but the votes appear to be there to keep the current dumpsters open in the meantime. " Mr. Massie and Ron Frazier are not happy with this turn of fevents. Mr. Massie felt people unwilling to make the drive should have been willing to pay someone else to do it for them rather than relying on tax funds. Mr. Frazier feels his constituents, who have the landfill in their heighborhood, should not have to pay taxes to provide a more convenient place for the rest of the county’s residents to take their (rash. Their views are understandable, but clearly most county residents are prepared to pay the taxes to have such a facility open. Arts Fest '96 The elementary school has just completed a very successful arts festival. Clearly most of the children enjoyed the opportunity to experience a variety of the visual and performing arts. Their education has been greatly enriched by the artists in Rappahannock County who shared their talents with the county’s young people. Our Rappahannock Heritage mm H_i a - r \ Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Last Thursday's ice storm left a crystal coating on vines and a fence on the road to Chester Gap. Letters to the Editor Hill More on SAT Scores To the Editor: I am writing in response to a response to a respohse to an article printed March 13, 1996, titled, “County Senior Is Tops in World of Science. The article was accurate as it was printed, and Ms. Lofton’s letter of retraction (March 20) was unnecessary and less accurate than the original article. The scores that Ms. Lofton quoted in her Letter to the Editor were from the SATs, and while it is true that these scores would lead one to believe that the English curriculum is equally strong as the math curriculum at RCHS, the scores from the SAT IIs clearly show the deficiency in the English curriculum. For anyone whd is unfamiliar with the difference between the two tests, the SAT IIs test a broader range of writing and math skills than do the SATs. Furthermore, the SATs do not test grammar, usage, and punctuation as do the SAT IIs. Perhaps most importantly, and in contrast to the SATs, the SAT IIs are directly correlated to the amount of learning that has occurred in the English classroom. For these reasons, Ms. Lofton’s quoting of SAT scores was of dubious relevance. Finally, whenever one is look Jt>v “IHAT't * cr©t joEft! ing for inadequacies in any system, why would one quote the highest scoring students? One should look at scores from all students who took the test. The SAT II Writing Test scores are the ones that Ms. Lofton should have researched, and if she had done so, she would have found that out of the 28 students who took the writing SAT IIs, only five scored above the national average of 568. These statistics definitely support Jim’s observation that the English curriculum is lacking. In closing, I would like to say that the pressure Jim and Ms. Lofton received from the English department was uncalled for. The information was neither slanderous nor libelous, and the first amendment guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of press. It is my desire that in the future the expression of one’s opinions will be encouraged rather than reprimanded. ANGELA DAWN DEAVERS Washington Winning Not All To the Editor: I read with interest your sports section last week. The emphasis of the article seemed to be on final scores and the competitiveness of Rappahannock teams. I’ve helped coach U-6 soccer the past two fall seasons and am in my second year as a T-ball coach with RAA. The U-6 soccer team is fairly small and we scrimmage amongst ourselves. We try to keep the sides even and the score tied if we keep score. The T-ball division of RAA, with four to six teams a year, continues to debate the merits of keeping score. As of now we do keep score but there are other leagues that do not. Front Royal T-ball is in its fourth year of not keeping score so that the emphasis is on a fun learning experience for the kids rather than winning and losing records. I believe it is good to have some debate and thought put into what we want out of sports. On the professional level we see grossly overpaid athletes. We’re bombarded with hype from the media in such a way that the game is overshadowed by the hype. The bottom line is that major markets or wealthy owners are able to buy championships. At some point it seems that the game is only ftin if we or our team wins. I think this atmosphere filters down to our level of amateur play. Our younger divisions such as T-ball, U-6 or U-8 are seen as farm teams for the older leagues. We drill them now so that in years to come we’ll have winning teams. The emphasis is on winning. I think there are other values to playing sports that are overshadowed by our obsession with scores and winning. There’s the camaraderie and teamwork that come from playing together. There is the healthy habit of getting out and exercising. There’s the development of new skills and the confidence that goes with those new skills. There’s the understanding that some people are more skilled than me, some less, but we’re part of the same team. Most of all I hope we develop a love of the game, whatever it may be, rather than a love of winning. As we grow older I think we see that it’s a fine line between how often we win and how often we lose in life. A sense of fun and being able to get along with others stands us in better stead 4hap. counting victories. ■ , ■ „ MARK WALLACE Flint Hi» Say'No' To Alcohol To the Editor: ’ Some observations and thoughts . on the discussion of alcohol use in the Washington Town Hall. - Regard for property, public and private, seems to be diminished by those partaking of alcohol. Therefore, it might be necessary to charge higher rent than for non-alcoholic events.

This is the time for the Town to say, “NO.” LIBBY WHETZEL Washington; Old Dominion Politics : mm ■. : >;\ By JOHN GOOLRICK A Virginian to run for vice president on a Republican ticket headed by Senator Robert Dole? Might be a good idea and there are a couple who might be available, namely Colin Powell and Gov. George Allen. The assets Powell would bring to a GOP ticket are obvious. After all, polls currently show Dole losing to President Clinton but beating him if his running mate were Powell. It is not often a mere vice presidential prospect can make such a dramatic change in poll results. Though putting Powell on the ticket would alienate what must now be called the Buchanan-Perot wing of the party, its positive effects would more than offset any loss. Yet it must be emphasized that this is true only in polls taken now and that if Powell were actually chosen by Dole things could change. Powell, after all, has never been in the political arena, and it has a way of diminishing not enhancing someone’s stature. Voters might tend to see Powell in an entirely different light if he has to go out’ and debate Democratic Vice President A1 Gore and take hard positions on dozens and dozens of controversial issues. On the other hand Allen might be an inspired choice for reasons that are not immediately obvious but could well become obvious as the campaign progressed. The best thing about Allen is he would be acceptable to all factions of the party because he would pass the litmus test both on economic issues and social issues. He is young, vigorous and most important highly telegenic. He would offer a striking contrast to Gore who is extrepiely bright, but anything but dynamic. Allen’s rhetoric would excite the party faithful and the media would have a field day writing about the colorful Governor who chews tobacco, wears cowboy boots with pin-stripe suits and delights in bashing Democrats. He is also a person to person campaigner who rivals Bill Clinton in his ability to schmooze with people on the campaign trail. Drawbacks might be a shortage of experience of the national stage — he spent just 14 months in the House ofRepresentatives because Democrats gerrymandered him out of his seat. But he is a fast learner" and would be unlikely to make the same kind of mistakes that ruined Dan Quayle’s. image upon his surprise selectidh as! VP candidate by George Bush in' 1988. . ; Several other governors are being p^ntioned as possible vice presidential • choices, including Christy Todd Whitman of New Jersey and John Engler of Michigan. Whitman would! be poison to Buchanan-Perot folks! while Engler might be more accept-; able to all factions. •> - ■ Two questions are paramount. Can Dole look at those polls and resist the temptation to bring aboard Powell who might insure victory? And if Dole asks, will Powell accept the job of run-; ning as second banana? ' !

Jon singled and Tommy hit a ground-rule double to knock in both runners. The Panthers added two more runs in the bottom half of the seventh inning but fell short losing to Page 9-6. The Panthers get better and better as the season rolls on. The team got more hits in this game than in the first two games combined. Take away the second inning in which RCHS committed four errors and the team would have won the ball game. “Jon Digges was very impressive on the mound,” said coach Donn Hackney. “He had everything working for him and was throwing the ball where he wanted it. Our pitching stafl cannot be underestimated. We have a strong, smart staff; we^ust have to learh to make the plays behind them.” The Panthers are 0-3 on the year.

RSL Soccer Teams Improve By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer ^...Rain washed out all but two Rappahannock Soccer League games last week. Rappahannock’s two U-8 teams played two teams from St. Luke’s in Culpeper. The U-8 team coached by Jim fcofjion and Sue Benner beat St. Luke’s II with a 4-2 score, while the U-8 team coached by Rob Parrish and Sue Lowry narrowly lost to St. Luke’s 1< with a 3-2 score. ■ Mr. Lofton and Ms. Benner felt that-their team did much less clustering around the ball than they had the week before, with the players doing a good job of staying in position and passing. Mr. Parrish was extremely pleased by his team’s comeback from a 10-0 loss the week before. Only seven players showed up for the Saturday morning match, which allowed for no substitutions or rest. Under the circumstances, everybody had to play well, Mr. Parrish noted, and they did. Matthew Lowry scored both goals, once assisted by Patrick Treanor and once assisted by Dougald Day.

Fielding Causes Third Loss By SHARON KILPATRiCK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The softball team dropped its third game last Wednesday, but the issue of who will be the starting pitcher was settled. Katy Paratore went the entire seven innings getting four stfike-outs while giving up only three hits and walking eight. This was a major improvement over the game two days earlier when three different pitchers gave up 27 walks. However, Page County won 11 to 3 as the home squad also committed eight errors and made some poor decisions in fielder’s choice situations. RCHS got its three runs on five hits. Page got its first run in the first inning, and another in the third. RCHS bounced back in the bottom of the third to take a>3 to 2 lead on hits by Kiersten Kerr, Margo Haynes and Kylene Wolf. Page regained the lead in *he fourth inning 4 to 3 and increased its lead to 6 to 3 in the fifth. Cari Kengot a triple in the fifth inning but was left on base. RCHS was still hanging tough until the top of the sixth inning when Page added five more runs, and the home team was unable to counter in spite of another Kiersten Kerr hit. Coach Carl Payne noted that only the first two of Page County’s 11 runs were earned. “The problem was w.e made too many errors and our hitting wasn’t as good as it should be.” Come in with a new prescription and we will deduct up to $45.00 off the cost of your new complete glasses..

►* Trial From Page A-l employment in 1988, Mr. Stewart’s lawyer, Mr. Clark, produced a copy of a paycheck which Mr. Stewart had received from the mother’s company in May, 1989. Mr. Clark was trying to show that even though the offenses were alleged to have occurred in 1988, the mother still employed Mr. Stewart in 1989. Major Ed Streapy, who is now retired from the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office, testified that the girl had written and signed a statement alleging that Mr. Stewart had sexually molested her. He admitted that she had asked how much Mr. Stewart would have to pay. Dr. Melvin Guyer from the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan was called by the defense to testify. Dr. Guyer has extensive degrees and who does research in the area of children and Paratore Makes Fall Dean's List Lori Anne Paratore was named to the Chowan College Dean’s List for the fall semester. Chowan College is a private liberal arts institution located in Murfreesboro, N.C. Miss Paratore is a graduate of RCHS and the daughter of Mel and Paul Paratore of Amissville. memories. He testified that the allegations of sexual abuse made by the girl against her father when she was 2 1/2 years old and against Mr. Stewart which she said happened when she was five years old were remarkably similar in detail. The particular type of sexual abuse which had been described by the girl is fairly rare, he said. When asked by Mr. Clark what he thought about someone remembering what color they were wearing or the brand name of their clothing worn during an alleged abuse, Mr. Guyer responded, unless it was an extraordinary individual, “I would say that is not a memory; it is something other than a memory....It is very suspect. There are other explanations for that,” he said. The girl had earlier testified that she remembered those details. Dr. Guyer, who recently testified for the prosecution in the Menendez trial in Los Angeles, also said he believes that if a person remembers less about details of an incident, it is more likely to be true. Testifying for the prosecution, Dr. Linda Bissett, a licensed psychiatrist from Maryland who specializes in child sexual abuse and domestic violence, said that she has known trie girl since 1986 when she began seeing her as her therapist. She diagnosed the girl as having post traumatic stress disorder which she believed stemmed from sexual abuse. She disagreed with Dr. Guyer, saying that she believed that trie specific type of sexual abuse which trie girl alleged was very common, and that she believes children have very good memories foi traumatic events. She said that some people remember details and some block them out. In closing, Mr, Luke said that the case would turn on the testimony oi the girl and that only two people know what really happened. He admitted that the big problem with the case was that the girl did not say anything for so long. “She carried that around with her,” he said, adding. “She did not get this way by nothing happening to her.” Mr. Luke said that the defense could not explain why the girl would pick on the defendant. “Why does she decide all of a sudden in 1995 to pick on him? Why would she put herself through the trauma and sit before 12 people she does not know?” he asked. There was no motive for the girl to fabricate a lie, said Mr. Luke. In his closing argument, Mr. Clark said that he was not suggesting that the girl made the allegations against Mr. Stewart because they were false. “I won’t say she is lying. I think she believes it. That is the tragedy of this case,” he said. Regardless of what the doctors say, he told the jurors, use your common sense. “Is this creative memory or a recollection of events that actually occurred?” he asked the jurors. Two of the jurors were interviewed for this article. Both said that after electing a foreman, a poll of the jurors was taken. In answer to the question whether they thought the defendant was innocent, all raised their hands immediately. One juror felt the girl remembered too many details to be believable and that it seemed too long a time before the girl reported it. Another juror believed the defendant had been wronged and that the mother of the girl was the one to blame, that she had implanted the ideas in the child’s mind. That juror also mentioned the lack of emotion shown by the girl when she testified. The juror said, “I think justice was served.” 0 *yPa^d**ul' * • S%?t cce<UteiHfedWEDDING INVITATIONS SOCIAL STATIONERY I ftappafjannocfe Jietos 675-3338 INCORPORATED Regular Sales | Every Tuesday IHORSE SALE! 2nd Sat., 10 a.m., Every Month (iSTATE GRADE4 FAT CATTLE 1* “files., 1:30 p.m. Every Montftln addition to our regular sales on the 2"° Tuesday of each month, we will have a State Graded Feeder Cattle Sale Consignments Welcome.

Wolf said, “1 vote against tobacco every chance I get.” He said he eliminated pork barrel highway demonstration projects when he became chairman of the transportation committee, and his appropriations bill was out “in plenty of time.” He said he is “not a partisan person.” Rep. Wolf said, “We’re trying to reduce government. We have zeroed out a lot of programs, but we have to be compassionate to people working at these agencies.” He said, “We passed what I thought was a good budget, but he [the President] doesn’t have to sign the bills we sent him.” “1 would like my government to be like 1 was taught in elementary school, with leaders like George Washington,” he said. However, he noted that both parties are taking money from “the gambling industry.” He said that on Thursday the House of Representatives passed bills to make health insurance portable and make it illegal to refuse to insure someone because of a pre-existing condition and also giving the President the line-item veto. He said there is some fraud, waste and abuse in government, but eliminating that will only go a small way to reducing the deficit. “We can’t be all things to all people,” he said. In discussing a growing disparity between rich and poor, Rep. Wolf blamed competition from countries that employ people at “slave” wages. He said there should be corporate responsibility and he feels it is wrong for a CEO to fire people and give - himself a raise, but “we want to maintain the ladder of mobility. We’re not a perfect country, but there still is opportunity, mobility, creativity.” Andys Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Mary Scott Guest (in hat) and Del.

Mr. Estes said this had been handled in executive session to keep from lessening the county’s bargaining position with the seller. Tom Pendergast said that approach could take more than a year. He said he had moved from Fairfax where dumpsters had been removed and that led to trash being dumped on his road. “Closing the dumpsters before you have a viable alternative, we will have exactly the same thing,” he said. Joe Hall said the dumpsters should be kept open until an alternative is found. He said since the decision to close them was announced more large appliances had been left at the Huntly dumpster site. Garfield Burke said people bringing their trash from outside the county was the major problem. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey said over the past weekend the Sheriffs Office had written several tickets for out-of-county dumping.'. Mr. Massie said if it is the consensus of the board to keep the dumpsters open until the central site is developed, he would go along with it, but stationing deputies at the dumpster sites two days a week will not take care of the problems there. •Mr. Gilkey said he bring the issue up again meeting. • Mr. Estes said he thought., onfc or two compactor loads a week could take care of the trash. “If we keep out Warren County and Fauquier County trash, it-will cut our cost down considerably,” he said.

m • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3,199<S » I i l RAWL Uses Petsmart Store for By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Thanks to dedicated dog lovers and Petsmart, the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League is able to find homes for nearly 100 percent of their shelter and foster care dogs. Every Saturday or Sunday a group from RAWL loads up their van with dogs who needs homes and head in to the Petsmart store at Fair Lakes Mall in Fairfax. Last Saturday, RAWL president Lisa Reid and shelter manager Mary Lou Walters, along with several other helpers, took 13 dogs to Petsmart. Seven of them were adopted, and that was a successful day. According to Ms. Reid, RAWL adopted out 306 dogs last year, almost all of them at Petsmart. The dogs to be adopted were an exceptional bunch, very well behaved and ready to love and be loved.. After each new owner filled out their adoption papers, which included all medical and other pertinent information about their new dog, they would pose, wearing big smiles, with their new pet for a Polaroid photo to go in RAWL’s photo album of all adopted pets and their new families. At about 4:30, the group was getting ready to pack up and return to Rappahannock, but so many people were still coming in the store to look at dogs that several were retrieved from the van and brought back in. Three more were adopted within the last halt hour. Ms. Reid said that Rappahannock County has more dogs than people know what to do with. Taking them to Petsmart, which was the brainchild of Ms. Reid and Donna Landry three years ago, has been the perfect solution for finding the dogs homes. People in the Fairfax area don’t even flinch at the $125 adoption fee which is chaiged for each dog. That price gets a dog that is neutered, has had DHLPP and rabies shots, has been heartworm tested, wormed, and groomed if necessary. It could easily cost more than $125 to have all of that done at the vet’s office. “Whatever they need medically is done before they are adopted,” said Ms. Walters. Dr. Johnny Clark of Luray is the shelter’s veterinarian. Dogs .are guaranteed too. An adopted dog can be brought back to RAWL within 30 days for a full refund Wm i§jyfr Linda Hoffman and her son adopted Mr. Yellow. if that dog doesn’t work out, for any reason at all. At any other time, bdt not for a refund, the dog can be returned, for example, if the family is moving away. If a dQg has a behavioral problem and needs training, he can be brought back for training, said Ms. Walters. A RAWL tag goes on every dog so that if he is ever lost, he can be traced back to the owner through RAWL’s records. Due to the success of RAWL’s adoption program at Petsmart, rarely is a dog put down at the shelter. According to Ms. Reid, last year two dogs were put down due to viciousness. Two died from parvovirus, two from distemper and one from unknown causes. During 1995, they took in 190 strays, plus 101 dogs that were giveaways. The giveaways are taken to the shelter for various reasons. Some reasons that people get rid of dogs are that they shed too much, get after chickens or sheep, are not housebroken, owners are moving, grew too big, do not get along with other dogs or cats or children. Many of the people who adopt dogs from RAWL at Petsmart are loyal customers. They come back arid adopt another dog, or just come in and help when Shelter volunteers bring in dogs on the weekend. Dr. Don Bartlett is one of those customers. He has adopted two large dogs from RAWL at Petsmart and said he has had really good success with both of them. He was helping the crew . last Saturday, walking Quincy, a large male dalmation, around the front of the store, introducing him to visitors, and basically giving him lots of attention. Adoptive parents are also encouraged to bring their dogs back to Petsmart to visit with the RAWL people, so they can see how they are doing once they’ve been in a new home for a while. Once the day for the RAWL group ended at about 5 p.m., Dr. Bartlett, like many other parents of adopted dogs, got in line to pay for a shopping cart full of pet food and other goodies to take home. Other groups, such as the Greyhound rescue group, adopt out pets at Petsmart too. Nearly every day a different group is there with animals, . , jsmu*... , ■**—jjgjfP^' ■ J Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan Erik Hodge picked a favorite and visited with Patches for a while at the store. as they are at Petsmarts across the whole country. According to Ms. Reid, only 20 percent of shelter dogs nationally find homes. She is obviously proud of RAWL with their success rate at near 100 percent. “We do a pretty good job,” she said. RAWL can really use help from volunteers when they go to Petsmart, and it is a very rewarding experience to see so many homeless dogs find a loving family. Also needed at the shelter are donations of money, towels, blankets, food (dry and canned), bleach (they use a gallon a day), dish detergent, PineSol and paper towels. For more information, call Ms. Walters at the shelter at 937-3283. The shelter is open every day except Wednesday and Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon.

Arts Fest '96 Is Success at County Elementary School By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Monday and Tuesday were Arts Fest days at Rappahannock County Elementary School. Many artists, mostly from inside the Rappahannock community but a few from outside, came to the school to introduce students to a variety of the arts. Each class had at least two sessions with the artists. The sessions ranged from 30 minutes to one hour. On Monday Michael Geddes brought computers, amplifiers and a guitar to demonstrate computers and composing. He talked about composing his own songs and sang “Shenandoah Sunrise” to the class. Then he showed the students how he could use a computer in a keyboard and another computer with a variety of drum sounds to put together a rock and roll song opposing drug use. One at a time students added drum sounds to create a bouncy rhythm. Then Mr. Geddes sang the verses while the girls sang the chorus and the boys yelled “Just Say No. We don’t do drugs.” A group of dancers added to the excitement. Community Picnic Planned On Saturday, April 13 an annual community-wide spring picnic will take place at the Child Care Learning Center from 1-4 p.m. The picnic, sponsored by the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee is a free event open to the entire community. Drinks and desserts will be provided, but picnic-goers are encouraged to bring a “potluck” dish. “We look forward to a nice gathering of neighbors and friends, a chance to exchange ideas and thoughts, and just a fun day for all,” said Franklin Schmidt, Party Chairman. Highlights of the day include children’s games, pot-belly pig and pony petting and music by local artists, the Eclectics and March Caraway. In the meantime other artists were working with other classes. They made refrigerator magnets and puppets. They illustrated their life stories and learned to dance. Two groups had the chance to hear Hopi Indian stories. Others learned about Chinese art or the use of color. On Tuesday high school Spanish students joined the elementary school. One group taught third-graders to make Mola, an art form used by the San Bias Indians in Guatamala sort of like reverse aplique, with layers of cloth revealed by cutouts. The class used colored construction paper. Another group of high school Spanish students taught the Mexican hat dance in the gymnasium to very enthusiastic elementary school students. Maggie Rogers taught older elementary students how to turn cartoons into three-dimensional puppets. In the afternoon she worked with younger students on modeling with salt clay. Ned Bittinger talked to a group about illustrating books and showed slides of his work for two children’s books. He showed that the illustrator has to leave a light colored area for the words to be added. Later he set an easel in the hall and showed groups of students how he paints a portrait. Lyt Wood played music on instruments he had made. Beth Levick played the harp and taught choral singing. The halls were alive with student art work. Amy Gubler, the teacher assigned to develop programs for gifted and tal ented students, decided to try the twoday Arts Fest for the first time this year and to make certain all the students benefited. She rounded up the artists, calling on friends of friends to made a full two days. > She arranged a schedule and worked with teachers to make sure their classes had a chance to do what interested them. Ms. Gubler was very pleased with how well the program went. The students reacted well to having outsiders come in. Some students revealed creativity they never reveal in the normal school day. In May the high school will have an arts and technology fair. Guitar Recital Next Saturday A classical guitar recital by Concert guitarist Jad Azkoul comes to the Theatre at Washington at 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 13. Mr. Azkoul, who is a performer and a teacher of international caliber, will give a pre-concert talk at 7:30 p.m. about the classical guitar. The program includes The Five Preludes by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Asturias, Granada and Torre Bermeja by Isaac Albeniz, and Cappriccio Diablolico by Mario CastelnuovaTedesco, among the other works. Reviewing Azkoul’s performance of a work by Albeniz in an earlier concert, The Washington Post commented “[Azkoul’s] Albeniz transcriptions are masterly and highly idiomatic, often sounding like a restoration to the guitar of music borrowed from it by the piano.” In another Washington Post review about this time last year, Joseph McLellan said “Azkoul can make his instrument sing with the fine legato phrasing, the little variations of dynamics and tempo, the occasional expressive accents and hesitations of a human voice.” Mr. Azkoul resides in Switzerland where he is on the faculty of the Conservatoire Populaire de Musique in Geneva. He gave a highly successful concert and talk at the Theatre in Little Washington last year when he was on leave from the Conservatoire to teach at the American and Catholic universities in Washington, D.C. There have been many requests for this repeat engagement which has been scheduled for a brief visit to the U.S. Tickets for the guitar recital are $13.50 with reservation and $15 at the door. Children’s tickets are half price. For reservations phone 675-1253.

Jesus Christ is never found inside any tom)). The proof of His resurrection is not found in the proof of an empty tomb. An empty tomb can always be explained away: “His friends came during the night and removed him,” they said. Who can disprove that? “A soldier was bribed,” some might say, and one cannot really unlodge that theory. JZ.'Z&i 1 Have Seen The Lord resurrection - rests not on the emptiness of the tomb, but on the fullness of Mary Magdalene's testimony: “I have seen the Lord!” There’s proof of resurrection. That's the fact of Easter! The reality of Easter is found not even in the words of the angel, “He is not here!” but in the words of Mary Magdalene: “I have seen the Lord!"

* * Easter Egg Safety Precautions By HELEN SMITH Extnulm Aftnt, Home Ecmwmte* | • At Easter time, eggs are handled a great deal more than usual. Each handling occasion provides an opportunity for the eggs to come into contact with bacteria. So be |ure to follow the tips below: Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the eggs at every step | including cooking, cooling, dyeing | and hiding, If you won’t be coloring | your eggs right after cooking them, ■ store them in their cartons in the ■ refrigerator. Don’t color or hide cracked eggs. ’ When coloring the eggs, use water warmer then the eggs and refrigerate them in their cartons right after coloring. If you want to eat your colored eggs later, be sure to use food coloring or specially made food-grade egg dyes. When hiding eggs, consider hiding places carefully. Avoid areas where the eggs might come into contact with pets, wild animals, birds, reptiles, insects or lawn chemicals. Refrigerate your eggs again after they’ve been hidden and found. Don’t eat cracked eggs or eggs that have been our of refrigeration for more than 2 hours. If you plan to use hardcooked eggs as a centerpiece or other decoration and they will be out of refrigeration for many hours or several days, cooked extra eggs for eating and discard the eggs that have been ; left out as a decoration. Using Empty Eggshells ■C Some people like to use empty eggshells for egg decorating. Here’s an easy way to empty an eggshell, i - Use a long needle to make a small hole in the small end of the egg and a larger hole in the large end. Carefully chip away bits of shell around the | large hole until it’s the size of a ‘ penny. Stick the needle into the yolk I to break it. Shake the egg large end I down over a bowl until the contents f come out. Rinse the Shell under cool 1 running water and let it dry. ! "Or, make a slightly smaller hole HOME ECONOMICS in the large end of the egg only. Press the bulb of a kitchen baster to expel the air and insert it into the egg. Release the bulb to siphon out the shell contents. Rinse and let diy. The edible contents emptied from eggshells can be used in any recipe where yolks and whites are mixed and thoroughly cooked. Use the contents immediately after they’ve been removed from shells or freeze them. Most baked dishes such as casseroles, custards, quiches, cakes or breads are good uses for these eggs. Here are breakfast recipes using eggs from The American Egg Board.
