Sex Abuse Conviction Nets Six Months Jury Struggles for Verdict -ay aNDYMMKir^^ ■ ‘ Rappakaaiotk New» Staff Writer ** V*’ «* Last Friday, a 39 year-old Rappahannock man was found guilty of sexually abusing his 14 year-old daughter during the early morning hours of January 1, 1995. The jury trial began on Thursday morning. By 5:40 p.m., all testimony had been heard and closing arguments concluded, and the jury of eight women and four men began their deliberations. By 8 p.m., they had not reached a decision, and sent a note out to the judge saying that they wanted fooct and drink. That note was followed by a note saying that they thought they were a hung jury (that they could not reach a unanimous dedsipn). _ - Judge W. Shore Robertson advised the jury of the “Allen Charge,” a juror’s instruction which directs members of the jury to reach a verdict if possible. A verdict must be unanimous frardfcfWiirtd a defendant guilty%*■' not guilty. He asked thdm to return to the jury room and tiy to reach a verdict. After further consideration, the jury asked to be allowed to go home for the night. They returned at 9 a.m. on Friday to continue their deliberations and reached a verdict just before 1 p.m. The defendant was indicted last January for two felonies: carnal knowledge, and sexual abuse, with lascivious intent, of a child with whom the defendant maintained a custodial or supervisory relationship. He was found not guilty of the charge of carnal knowledge. The daughter testified that on January 1, 1995, she was staying in her father’s house, visiting him for the weekend, and was sleeping in one of two beds in his room, when he arrived home about 4 a.m. She was sleeping in jeans and a sweatshirt because it was cold, she said. She claimed that her father came into the room, got in the on the night of January k,' the girl tocher of her father abusing her, and qf having carnal knowledge. The daughter, who is now 15 years old, told her therapist at Family Guidance Services in May, 1995 of the incident with her father. A social worker from the Department of Social Services testified that the girl’s therapist had told her about the girl’s father sexually abusing her.' Ed Streapy, who was then the Major in the Sheriff’s Office, was notified of the allegations and interviewed the girl in June. At that point, he said, the girl’s mother, had no knowledge of her daughter’s allegations. The mother and father are no longer married to each other and share custody of their daughter. Major Streapy and Mr. Luke discussed having the victim tape record a, conversation with her father to try to get a confession on tape. She carried a tape recorder with her when visiting him and brought up the incident to him, but the quality of the voices on . the tape was so poor that whea rtwas "pyefffor the jurf, -If WUii ailllMU'To- understand, and failed to prove whether the defendant was guilty or not; ‘y ' >,-./* The mother testified that when she heard about the allegations, she called up the defendant’s sister and made threats against the defendant, saying “I * threatened to run him over with my car; 1 threatened to kill him.” The daughter said that her parents did not get along, and she also said her mother had not suggested she make the charge. She said she had been upset since the incident and had been in counselling. She was also placed in a foster home from February through June. The defendant denied sexually abusing his daughter, claiming that he did nothing but touch her on the back when he got home, to wake her and say hello. His sister, who was in the house at the time of the incident, testified that he was not in the room long See Court, Page A-2 Tax Rate Set At 73 Cents Van, Extension Cut By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff. Writer Acting on the budget for next year on Monday night the Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to cut ;<fby $91,500 and reduce the tax rate from the advertised 75 cents per hundred for real estate to 73 cents per hundred. That is still a four-cent increase over this year’s rate. Although the revenue side was reduced as well, the budget shows a $355 surplus for the next year. The largest cut was $38,000 for a real estate reassessment. The supervisors decided that could be done out of the general fund surplus rather than taxing for. it. The next largest cut was $16,000 from the Sheriff’s budget to replace the van inherited from the school system several years ago. The Sheriff is also requesting two new cars this year on a schedule that calls for two cars one year and one the next. “I’m in favor of deleting the van and buying two cars,” said Piedmont district representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes. “We’re in a cycle. Maybe next year we can get one car and a van.” Sheriff Gary Settle said, “We’ve answered almost 300 more calls compared to this time last year.” This is putting more mileage on the cars, he said. Chairman Hubert Gilkey said he would go along with cutting the van this year and hoping to get one next year, but he added, “The Sheriff’s Department is doing a wonderful job. Sooner or later we will have to go to two each year.” Also cut was $8,000 from contracted care of animals at the shelter, the amount the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League had requested as an increase. That still leaves the county paying $12,000 to RAWL for taking care of the dogs at the shelter. “They got a tremendous increase last year,” Mr. Estes said. Another $5,000 was cut from the Extension service. Extension had J requested a nearly 24 percent increase of $ 11,000 in the proposed budget. The funds cut would have paid the county’s share of having an agent in Fauquier for the Master Gardener program. “They took away the only thing we value,” Mr. Estes said of the extension program. He said citizens used to be able to get advice on problems from local agriculture agents, but the “area programming” concept in extension means that citizens have to go outside the county for such advice. The supervisors cut $4,500 from the budget for maintaining county » buildings expecting that less mainte- ' nance will be required next year than this one. Also cut was $10,000 for the Planning Commission to contract for studies since that amount will be left in the current budget at the end of8the fiscal year. See Budget, Page A-6 Fatality of 1996 By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer During a week filled with automobile accidents a pedestrian was struck by a van and killed on U.S. 211 in Amissville on Sunday night. William Augustine Flynn II, 33, of Piedmont, West Virginia was hit about 9:22 p.m. by a 1988 Dodge van driven by Faye Baldwin Crescenti, 61, of Hudson, Florida, while she was eastbound on U.S. 211, .7 mile west of Route 642. Mr. Flynn was an employee of the company putting on the carnival at Amissville this week. He was with some other people when he was struck by the van. It was unclear at presstime whether Mr. Flynn was walking in the road when he was hit and whether he died at the scene. No charges were placed as a result of the accident. On June 17 at 4:13 p.m., a 1992 Chevy pickup driven by Jon Eric Davis, 20, of Winchester, failed to negotiate a sharp curve on Route 630 in Huntly and struck a 1975 Dodge 4-door See Wrecks, Page A-2 Old Rag Bulletins Tax Relief ' - The deadline for filing an application for tax relief for the low income elderly and dis. abled is July 1.

The standardized tests now being used also have a composite score for the three grades for which testing is required, fourth, eighth and 11th. The composite score is widely used by the state in evaluating how well schools are doing. It is based not just on reading and math scores but also on such writing skills , as spelling, punctuation and standardized usage and on ability to use reference works. The composite scores were: for the fourth grade - 48 percent; eighth grade - 52 percent; 11th grade - 50 percent. The 11th grade composite score also reflects scores on ’social studies and science tests. For the fourth grade and eighth grades those are not included in the composite score but are reported separately. Social studies and science scores were: fourth grade - 52 percent and 65 percent; eighth grade - 51 percent and 59 percent; 11th grade - 48 percent and 50 percent. In addition an analysis of mathematics scores shows that in several grade levels scores on computation lowered the overall mathematics scores. This was most notably true for eighth grade where the score in computation was 23 percent while the score in mathematical concepts was 55 percent, and the score in problem solving was 50 percent, for an overall rating in mathematics of 46 percent. Computation also lowered the overall math scores in fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh grades though less dramatically. The mathematics test score was not broken down for ninth, 10th and 11th grades.

►‘Court From Page A-l enough to do anything. His attorney, T.C. Lea, argued that the girl’s mother had encouraged her to make up the story about her father abusing her. He said that the girl was told to stick to her story or else she would be sent to reform school. Mr. Lea said, “We feel this is a fabrication that has been cooked up by the mother for revenge against the father.” In closing arguments, Mr. Luke said the victim got up in front of 12 people she did not know and the press and told what happened during the early morning of January 1. “Who would go through that?” he asked. He said the victim was tom, that she still loved her father, but she knew that what he did was wrong. Mr. Lea told the jury that their job was to judge the credibility pf tjjie witnesses. Speaking of the daughter, he said “The tears came when she felt she needed to have them.” After the jury delivered their finding of guilt for the sexual abuse charge, they were sent back to the jury room for phase two of their job as jurors — to decide the defendant’s sentence, after being told of his prior criminal record. Mr. Luke told them that the ► Wrecks From Page A-l driven by Jack Leroy Redman, 25, of Flint Hill. State Trooper M.C.

Signs Spark Debate in Town Council ^ By SHARON KILPATRICK - Rappahannock Newt SUIT Writer A debate at the Town Council fneeting on Wednesday, June 12, over signs.to be placed at both ends of towji ps part of Washington’s 200th Birthday Celebration had all the eleJn$n$ of the controversies that customarily divide the council. ; hast month the council approved installing “somewhat permanent” signs to be placed on property belong- ■ ingdolthe Washington Volunteer Fire Department and Rayner and Lois Snead at both ends of the entrances to JowtJ. The major discussion at that council meeting was about whether the signs should be just for the bicentennial year or whether they should remain. Laurie Marshall had done the sign design as part of her work on a committee making plans for the celebrati&n. * Mayor Stewart Willis took the design to the Architectural Review Board for their comments the next evening. Apparently there was not much enthusiasm on that board for the: design and member Patrick O’Connell said the Inn at Little Washington would volunteer design work for the signs. . Two proposals came out of that design work, one noting that Washington is the home of The Inn at Little Washington and the other, identical -in all other respects, noting that Washington is home to America’s first five star inn. .By last Wednesday evening two rpore designs were on the table. One by Tanya Richey and another by “Skippy” Giles. Mrs. Richey’s design was similar in some respects to Ms. Marshall’s. Mr. Giles submission was more similar to the ones proposed by the owners^of The Inn without any mehtion of The Inn. Another submitted by Mr. Giles, apparently in jest, noted that the town was home of Skippy Giles with Sara Snead Realty. ; The stage was set for the usual brouhaha. . Member Peter Skowronski said he had no problem with the signs designed by Ms. Marshall or Mrs. Richey, but the two submitted by The Inn’s designer “take me by surprise. I would be 100 percent opposed to something like this.” ‘ At that point member Steve Cfitzer submitted the Mr. Giles’s proposals. ' Member Charlie Tompkins said, “I find ‘200 Years of Democracy’ important. I wish we could find a way to make this a unifying thing.” Mayor Willis said his original idea had been to have “something •more sophisticated than a banner TtCMfOSs the streef.<Foi- '2X)(rydk¥s Washington has governed itself, as,a town. I think we should recognize it ^and celebrate it as on the sign by Laurie Marshall. The sign suggested by The Inn looks good, but it serves a different purpose. It is a permanent sign....It does commercialize the; sign.

The tax increase needed to fund increases in the county and ■ school budgets will be painful for many people, but the governments in Washington and Richmond could benefit from adopting the mostly conciliatory attitude the county’s representatives bring to their budget deliberations. No one implies that those he or she disagrees with is unpatriotic, opposed to the free enterprise system or out to destroy the county. After disagreements are reconciled votes are usually unanimous. There are no budget deficits. In fact both the county and town are running healthy surpluses. Local tax increases, as a matter of fact, are almost entirely the result of federal and state mandates coupled with decreasing financial support from those governments. Rappahannock County benefits enormously from the fact that local elections are non partisan. Partisanship is making a mockery of the state and federal governments, and indeed it is infecting counties around us. The county needs to hold a steady course — resist the impulse to buy into the discredited notion that giving in to development pressures will help reduce taxes by increasing the tax base. At the same time the county needs to send a message to both Washington and Richmond that tax cuts and even holding the line on taxes benefits almost no one .when it simpjy translates into higher taxes on real estate. Taxes on income are fairer tjhan_Jgx.es on real £State. ^mments with the power to tax income should not push their obligations onto localities which cannot. The Inn and the Signs It is hard for most county citizens and even some in the Town of Washington to understand why every dispute in town becomes a debate on The Inn at Little Washington. The facts are simple — the town benefits from the presence of The Inn, and The Inn benefits from being in the town. The Inn did not, as some members of Town Council claimed earlier this month “put the town on the map.” Washington, like Sperryville has been a mecca for tourists for decades. The Inn has, however, made the town more famous, and lately discussions about the role of The Inn are well on the way to making the town infamous. The desire of those planning for the town’s 200th Birthday Celebration should not have been hijacked by the owners of The Inn to promote The Inn instead of the town. There is nothing wrong with the sign selected by the Town Council, but there was nothing wrong with the designs submitted by two prominent local artists either. While all of this wrangling is sometimes amusing, an end to it would be a relief. Welcome to Historic 1 Washington. Virginia I Home of the ’scruffiest’ pooches & ^ in the state! Billy Wayland and his daughter Tiffany bale hay at their farm off U.S. 211 last Sunday afternoon. Letter to the Editor Supporters Thanked ’ . ■ ' l To the Editor: A few weeks ago, the Rappahannock Lions held their annual benefit auction, and it was, as always, a great success. All of the auction profits will be given back in the form of donations to worthy causes; A large portion will be in support of local persons with vision and hearing problems as well as other worthy, local causes such as the DARE programs, school scholarships, etc. The Lions International leader dog program and other sight and hearing programs will also benefit. The evening started in excitement when a sudden storm tore the familiar Lions’ tent from its poles and stakes, and ripped it beyond repair. But the auction of farm and garden equipment and large household items, which is always .held outside, went on anyway. Though people were damp, their spirits were not dampened. The rest of the auction, continued in the comfort of the Washington Fire Hall. Many people, merchants and residents, contributed to the success of the auction. Donors will each receive a letter of thank since there are too many to list here. But we do want to express our appreciation publicly. We also want to thank those who supported the auction by their presence and their active bidding. It is a privilege to live in a community that has so many generous residents. The auction was in many ways § tribute to the late Kermit Weakley and his wife, Kathryn, both of whom died • * ru' this last year. Long a member of the Rappahannock Lions, Kermit was out first Auction Chairman and served ift that capacity several times. He devised the procedures which make the auction a success and he and Kathryn always supported in enthusiastically. By the way, look for the nejfc Lions’ tent next to the Rappahannock* Bank at the July 4th festivities -h} Washington. Come admire the tenf and enjoy one of our grilled chicken sandwiches. MIKE MAHONEY Washington ».fc* By JOHN GOOLRICK Virginia has changed so dramatically since the death of Harry Byrd Sr. in 1966 that his domination of the state’s political machinery from the 1920s on has been practically forgotten. But as Larry Sabato, noted University of Virginia political analyst, says, “No one can understand twentieth century Virginia without understanding the man who ruled its politics for five decades.” Now along comes Ronald L. Heinemann, a professor at HampdenSydney College, with his book, "Harry Byrd of Virginia,” published by the University Press of Virginia. It is the first full scale treatment of Byrd’s life and is richly detailed and well-written. It paints a portrait of Byrd that confirms his tight grasp on Virginia politics, yet demonstrates that the welloiled machine he created had many democratic aspects and that Byrd remained loyal to friends and allies. Indeed, the Byrd Organization rested on a foundation of local officials who were able to build their own little political machines in those days when people were more willing to blindly follow the wishers of their leaders. Heineman describes the almost indescribable process by which the Byrd Organization brass decided who would move up the chairs to become governor, lieutenant governor or attorney general, and those who wouldn’t make the cut. Contrary to what some have said, Byrd did not demand that those who got the so-called “nod” must agree with him on every particular. He sought men who were generally in tune with his guiding light of fiscal responsibility but was willing to overlook an independent streak so long as they were willing to play ball most of the time and had electability. Unlike Huey Long in Louisiana who gloried in power and publicity, Byrd never sought the limelight and wielded power quietly. The last thing he wanted was confrontation and he largely managed to avoid if until the “Massive Resistance” days of the 1950s and 1960s when the prospect of desegregation suddenly clouded what had always been a judgment based on reason. After the Supreme Court struck down segregated schools and other federal courts threatened to go further, Byrd predicted a class war in which whites would attack blacks who were petitioning for integrated schools and openly predicted the Supreme Court would adopt a “disastrous” policy of declaring laws against racially mixed marriages illegal. When Governor Lindsay Almond, a long-time machine loyalist, had no choice but to obey what the Supreme Court said was the law of the land, Byrd criticized Almond’s “defeatist” behavior and refused to ever meet with him again. Later Byrd blocked Almond’s appointment by President Kennedy as a federal district judge and Almond finally had to settle for appointment to a patents appeals court. To his dying day, Byrd fought desegregation along with his followy ers, and as noted journalist Ralph McGill said, “The worst of the demagogues, the ugliest of passions and prejudices were given dignity and status by the stand of the Byrd machine.” Yet for all that it cannot be denied that Henry Byrd Sr. fostered in Virginia government that was honest to the core and the most fiscally responsible in the nation. His policies were conservative but mirrored the conservative politics of his mostly rural constituency. No doubt Byrd would be appalled if he were around to see the direction of government at the state and national levels today. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st DistrictRep. Herbert H. Bateman. Opinions, expressed are his own. The Writer’s Art It was tornado time in North Carolina in April. The Raleigh News and Observer sent a reporter to Zebulon to write a color piece about a twister there, and the newspaper routinely provided a copy of the story to The Associated Press. At the AP bureau, copy editor Randall Cha.se made some revisions. As the story went put on the AP wire, it began: “Jessie Adams, his wife and two children, were sitting down for dinner when they saw horse fly past the window of their mobile home.” It was a beautiful lead. And you know what? That lovely lead, I discovered. had been buried in the 15th paragraph in the original story. From a lifetime’s experience I can tell you that it often works that way. A writer has trouble getting into piece of work. The sentences won’t flow, the right words won’t come, the whole thing is going badly. Then the overcast syntax slowly moves on and a sun of creativity comes out. Behold: There in the 15th graf is the lead, just waiting to be put where it plainly belongs. In these circumstance it is not necessary to throw away the 14 preceding paragraphs. They can go somewhere else. What matters most is the lead, and this is true whether one is writing a sermon,-a term paper, a letter to the editor or a newspaper feature. The lead is the lure that hooks the reader swimming by. Some months ago I vowed to write at least a quarterly column on “the good stuff’ one finds in contemporary writing. Readers have sent me a bale of citations. Let me share a few of them with you. Florence King, who writes regularly for National Review, turned out a piece in March on the royal family. She confessed her admiration for Prince Charles: “Most men ditch their dear old Dutch for a trophy wife, but he ditched the trophy wife for his dear old Dutch. No one gives him credit for preferring time-ravaged Camilla Parker-Bowles to firm-fleshed Di, or realizes her value to the state. Plebeianized England needs Queen Camilla: Any woman can ride a horse, but it takes a true aristocrat to look like one.” Sometimes a single phrase can ignite a page. In the Ellery Queen mystery magazine. Bill Pronzini gave readers a vivid image: “I went to the car, sleeving away sweat, and unclipped the .38 . . .” Sleeving away! What a perfect verb! Robert Tomsho, a staff reporter for The Wall Street Journal, wrote a piece last October about a tribe of Japanese snow monkeys that had taken up residence in Eilley, Texas. “The animals are brownish, knee-high vegetarians with faces the color of diaper rash." At * some time, just about everyone has seen diaper rash. In that descriptive phrase we saw the monkeys. A couple of years ago Newsweek had something to say about what it means to be “online” in Cyberland: “In the online world — where people are often known by noms de net rather than their real names — it’s sometimes hard to tell grass roots from AstroTurf.” I liked the seven-iron swing of that sentence. Cadence counts. Some great metaphors have come in. Writing in the May issue of Backpacker, Steve Howe told of a camping trip with an old friend he had not seen in some years: “We have lots to catch up on. Mike and his wife’ Christine, are expecting a child, ant) like most men, he feels frozen in the onrushing headlights of parenthood.’* It’s hard to beat that kind of writing. Peter Bronson, who writes consistently great stuff for The Cincinnati Enquirer, had something to say of the acid air of Washington, D.C. In that climate, he wrote, “a steady rain of innuendo puddles up plenty of mud for slinging.” Bill Safire, word maven for The News York Times, summed up the function of the pundit in a first-rate metaphor: “Those of us who run ouf thumbs along the cutting edge of social change^ .” As I’ve remarked before, writing about Horrid Examples is good fum but writing about the good stuff is pure joy.Copyright 1996 I; Universal Press Syndicate ’

The groups were divided into three teams, blue, gold and purple, and each group worked with one of this year’s varsity baseball players. Tommy Settle worked with aspiring pitchers and catchers. Griffin Ward, Danny Digges and Adam Bouffard each worked with one of the groups. They started the day in one-inning scrimmages for two teams and basic drills for the other. Then they switched around. After eating bag lunches while watching videos, they had brief quizzes on baseball trivia. The prize for getting the right answer was a baseball pin. They answered such questions as. Where did the Orioles play before Camden Yards was built? (Memorial Stadium), Who is the major league pitcher with the use of only one arm? (Jim Abbott), and Who wears #10 on the Panthers baseball team? (Coach Settle).

► iudget From Page A-l AJmmwi was a $10,000 increase from the Circuit Courf*Budgef for converting to a computerized system for records. Circuit Court Clerk Diane Bruce said that there was a chance her office could get a much larger grant from the state and finish the process this year, but she would not be able to take advantage of the grant if the money was not in the budget. Then her office would be dropped to the bottom of the list for such grants, she said. The supervisors said she could come for a supplemental appropriation if that happened. Jackson District representative Ron Frazier suggested early in the budget discussion that funds for travel be cut from most of the budgets, starting with the Board of Supervisors. County Administrator John McCarthy explained the supervisors are reimbursed for travel from home to regularly scheduled meetings. The funds have occasionally also been" used for attendance at conferences, he said, but usually they are not all spent. Ms. Bruce said she uses her travel allowance to attend conferences. “If it’s not required, I don’t think we should be charging the taxpayers for it,” Mr. Frazier said. “Most of the Constitutional Officers go to several meetings a year. Nobody says we have to go, but I feel we would be at risk if we didn’t go,” Ms. Bruce said. “The reason I’m bringing it up is things are pretty tough around my neighborhood,” Mr. Frazier said. “I have a large portion in my district , who say, ’You people Are raising m]£ * taxes, and I’m looking for a job.’” •" Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins saidf “I put a lot of miles on my own vehicle not charged to the county. I don’t think most peo: pie tufn in the expenses they could.” * Mr. Estes said he had never turned in expenses for travel he has done as a member of the Board of Supervisors. . . Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson said, think everybody is that way. The only thing bad is it goes into the tax rate.” Mr. Estes said savings like that keep the surplus up so the county does not have “to tax people every year to keep a 5 percent surplus.” The funds for travel in various budgets were not cut. Hampton District representative, Mike Massie suggested cutting $4,500 far the Emergency NJedical _ Systems Council and qjrvering thar£ with the fire tax. * * \ % \ \ Paul Polling asked thisupervisors notto d© that since the. funds ori the* fire tax will be needed for the operating expenses of the fire departments. ... . jti IVfWiiytt Also left in the budget was an increase of $1,000 for the free clinic in Fauquier County.

He added he believes much of the music provided is not appropriate. If the town brings in a band it should play patriotic music, he said. Mr. Carrigan and Mr. Critzef also expressed unhappiness with the groups that charge for parking, saying in the .past they had tried to charge people planning to attend their private parties: Mr. Critzer said they were better last year, but he referred to them as the “parking Gestapo.” Following his appearance before the Town Council, Mr. Carrigan, who is 94 years old, drove to his home in Kensington, Md. At around midnight, either he fell and was knocked unconscious or he was attacked at the door to his house. The matter is being investigated as a possible attack. Nothing was stolen. Mr. Carrigan has been moved from a hospital to a nursing home. He suffered a head injury, three broken ribs and bruises on much of his upper body. Charles Eldred told the council the street light fixtures had arrived but the decorative scroll was not what was ordered. If the town is to get what it ordered, it will also be necessary to drill new holes in the arms to mount the correct scrolls, he said. As a result the Town Hall is filled with boxes containing parts for the street lights waiting on word from the supplier on replacements. Mr. Gooch reported that only a small handful of people showed up for two public forums with residents from town on the town’s future. He said the Futures Committee will hold a business meeting to make specific recommendations to the council. Ms. van Dort reported that leaks from the water system continue and that some people have fallen behind in paying their water bills. The council approved the budget for next year with no discussion. Mayor Willis reported that VDOT will be working with the town to implement some of the suggestions made by citizens to slow down traffic in town. Several members commented that increased enfor9ement by the Sheriff s Office has already helped cut down speeding.

Community News Obituaries Rappahannock News \M» -* - -£«i y£, & * Burma ; :: : By jeanne drevas ►’ * - Rappab*aaock Ntm Coatribatiat Writer ^BANGKOK — Well, it has been a year'since I left, the beautiful mountains- of Rappahannock County for a - 2hree year State Department stint with my husband Carl. Bangkok is one huge, smelly, loud, out of control, exoliccity. »« As I write I can hear the screeching of the cranes as yet another condo is raised upon the tnucfc. of this river" delta. For the first time in my life I reside above the trees in a fifth floor ritzy apartment complete with swimming pool and weight room. -* ■* The pool area used to be a nice place to hang out, but another condo is , , being built and the Thai version of Jeering construction worker has now reached perfect viewing height; this viewing probably has less to do with our physiques than with ogling our rich lifestyle. It is an uncomfortable' feeling being one of the rich here, but I have seen places here that make our apartment complex look like a cheap imitation of cracker box living. From our small balcony I can see anything from recycled corrugated tin hovels to 40 story office buildings, all jumbled together in Bangkok’s seeming lack of a zoning code. Whenever I write of Thailand, and of Bangkok in particular, the negative and the positive seem so intertwined. The rainy season has started early this year, and due to the inefficient planning by uncaring officials here, there is much flooding. (I cannot decide whether they are more corrupt here than in the U.S.; 1 think perhaps the U.S. has more “legal” loopholes with which influential people can get what they want, whereas here politicians just do'what they want). As Carl and I came out of a restaurant last night after a huge, downpour, we found the street flooded. In our new “miai pen rai” mode of Thailand we merely splashed down the middle of the street (I always wear my Tevas in the rainy season) past the disconcerted tourists trapped on higher ground. Last year while Rappahannock was having its flood mode, Bangkok had the worse flood season in 50 years. Here it lasted three months. I have personally teetered on a plank walkway past people eating at a £ This is only part of an orchid market in Bangkok. • The Friends of the Rappahannock County Library will hold their annual Book Sale at the Town Hall in Washington, Virginia on July 4. - The FOL sells donated books after (hey have been sorted by volunteers and library staff and books suitable for the collection are removed. The Friends are asking' for donations of musical instruments for the first time this year. Donations of new or used books and musical instruments in good condition may be left inside the Town JJall from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Town Hall is closed on Mondays. Forms for those interested in tax deductions will be available. Donations may still be brought to the library during regular hoyrs, but the staff would prefer books be taken directly to the Town Hall. Each year hundreds of books must |be sorted and transported to the sale 'like.'Previously, the sale had been held at the library building either in the basement or crowded into the meeting room upstairs. A horse or tractor drawn wagon had been used to carry people from festivities in town out to the sale. Last year, the sale was moved back to the former library which now serves as the Town Hall. The lovely building is closer to the 4th of July crowds and more accessible than the basement of the library. All proceeds from FOL book sales are used for the purchase of new books. Donations are tax deductible. The Friends accept new and used books, musical instruments, recent magazines and related media materials such as videos, cassettes, CDs and useable computer programs. If you can help, or if you have any questions, please call the library at 675-3780.

Yipes!! One expects a city to be noisy, but the roar of hundreds of small motorcycles as the traffic light changes is nothing I have experienced in Washington, D.C. But these motorcycles are the only way to get anywhere on time. One sits in one’s car going nowhere as the motorcycles utilize the “cycle” lanes between the stalled cars. At first I resisted riding the motorcycle taxi service which consists of hordes of teenagers and their metal steeds, which one flags down, hops on and then prays for deliverance in one piece at one’s destination. Speaking of steeds, I occasionally see an elephant being led down the street, leathery sides painted with good luck signs, or perhaps advertising. What do I know, as the written language bears no resemblance to Roman script. The smell of Bangkok is a mixture of exhaust, stopped up sewers (which sometimes I see being cleaned by grinning Thais up to their thighs in black glop), and the unique cuisine served up by myriad street side food stalls. Fish sauce is a biggie here, a smell of concentrated Ocean City gone very rank. Most people here live in cramped quarters without kitchens and they take advantage of the street food vendors selling papaya salad, noodles, unidentified fried grubs and beetles, and what to me look like chicken embryos but are not. With a friend one day on a “photo shoot” at the large market near us, we were offered a fried larvae; we looked at each other and popped them in our mouths. A little too squishy in the middle for my taste, but hey, we cannot merely sit back and just take pictures. After much discussion in my miserable Thai I find they are silkworm larvae. You know I could go on and on. I haven’t even mentioned my trip to Burma with another potter in search of village potteries. We jeeped deep into the mountainous Chin Hills, newly opened to foreigners; in 1962 all foreigners and especially the missionaries were kicked out. This was a Star Trek kind of experience — “to go boldly where no foreigner has gone in 34 years,” to step out on another planet where you can breathe oxygen and the aliens speak English. People here are 95 percent Christian in this Buddhist part of the world and many speak English. They were all eager to practice their English with “real” English speakers as well as to invite us to preach in their tiny churches; they assume we were missionaries come back. But we were only potters looking for pots. Ms. Drevas will be selling her new pottery in Washington on the Fourth of July. She will also discuss current Burmese pottery at the library at 8 p.m. July 12. Artists Invited To Fund Arts, Design a New License Plate A new license plate with an artistic flair will offer Virginia motorists an opportunity to brighten their vehicles while providing funding for the arts. Authorized by the 1996 General Assembly, the Virginians for the Arts license plate will be produced following a statewide design competition and the receipt of the first 350 prepaid orders. “This is a true milestone for the arts in Virginia. We’re proud to take our place among conservation, the Chesapeake Bay and the many other worthy causes that our citizens support through the purchase of special license plates,” said Carlton P. Hardy II of Newport News, a board member of Virginians for the Arts (VFTA) and the leader of the license plate effort. A statewide arts advocacy group, VFTA is sponsoring a design competition and offering a $500 cash prize to the winner. Designs will be judged on creativity, clarity and visual impact. For further design specifications, contact VFTA at (804) 644-2737. The deadline for entries is July 19. VFTA also is accepting orders for the new license plate, which is available for a fee of $25, plus the standard renewal fee. Checks (for the $25 fee only) should be made payable to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles and sent to VFTA, 214 North Jefferson Street, Suite 600, Richmond, Va. 23220-4200. Checks will not be cashed until the first 350 prepaid orders are in hand and the plates are put into production. When statewide sales exceed 1,000 plates, $15 of each $25 fee will be placed in a special fund for use by the Virginia Commission for the Arts. The money will supplement funds allocated by the General Assembly in the state budget. “The sale of just 7,700 license plates will generate an additional $ 100,000 for the support of local arts and cultural organizations,” Mr. Hardy noted. Founded in 1992, VFTA’s mission is to preserve the arts in the Commonwealth by increasing funding for the Virginia Commission of the Arts. Summer Reading Program Set Kids all over America are pouring out of school, racing toward summer fun. They leave their desks and classrooms behind. But will they also leave their learning behind? Unfortunately, many will. *. U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley says studies show that over the summer students can lose up to three to four months of the reading and writing skills they acquired during the school year. The fact of the matter is, when it comes to reading and writing skills, you either use them or lose them. That is why it is so important to keep students reading over the summer months, even for only 30 minutes a day. Kids can still read and have plenty of time for play ing ball, swimming and other summer activities, according to Mr. Riley. Rappahannock County Public Library’s Summer Reading Program “Choose Your Own Adventure— READ” will begin the first week in July and run through the first week of August. There are reading lists — by grade levels — from all the area schools, and librarians will be glad to help students find the books on them. We have beautiful new picture books for the Read-To-Me set, easy readers for the 1-Can-Reads, and all the Newbury Award Winners for the advanced readers!' (plus three copies " Of 'the Goose bumps and Saddle Club series!). Bring your children to the Library for an early start on summer reading!

We go to the hardware store for the right nut. bolt or tool. We are benefited by thq skills and knowledge of landscapers, bricklayers, contractors, carpenters and plumbers. We turn to the newspaper for direction, dial 911 for help and obtain proper step by step instructions from manuals.
