Jay Katzen compared the situation this year with last. Judge Snead noted that the town was recognized by the General Assembly of Virginia as a town named for George Washington on Dec. 14, 1996. Three years later George Washington died, 50 years after he is said to have surveyed the town as a young man. He suggested his listeners read the town’s earliest minutes. Them were regulations on how much wood a homeowner could store on the street and how horses should be hitched so they would not “foul the streets,” he said. When he came to town to set up his law practice, 51 years ago, Judge Snead said there were “four churches, four garages, three grocery' Stores, two barber shops, no doctor and no library.” ’ > . the town first madelhe national ' 'f ■ • • > / .;* ■ n*''*- *v.\ > • • ■ . . V Se Fourth, Page A-3 RCES Ballfield Plan Accepted Passport Scores Down By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The School Board decided to begin the process of upgrading athletic facilities at the schools by developing a hew playing field on property acquired for the elementary school addition. When the school system purchased property from Roy Leake for the addition they acquired additional land for possible use as a septic drainfield or for additional playing fields. Now, Superintendent David Gangel said the Rappahannock Lions’ Club has expressed an interest in taking or a project to help the schools improve athletic facilities and the club wanted guidance from the School Board or how they could help. The overall plan for athletic facilities calls for relocating the high school baseball field to the elementary school grounds. The current baseball field is not large enough. Balls hit over the center to left field fence only count as doubles because the distance is too short for home runs. Also any plan to See Schools, Page A-3 Deadbeat Dad Gets Time in Jail By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer On Term Day Monday, Judge Carleton Penn probably surprised some people by sending them to jail John F. Wright, 44, of Flint Hill, was sent to jail because he was delinquent in paying over $2,000 in child support. He was also ordered to pay an additional $1,100 for his ex-wife’s attorney’s fees. Judge Penn told Mr. Wright he would not be released from jail until the full amount is paid. Tina Sue Lucas, 26, of Luray, was delinquent in paying fines and court costs of $277. She pleaded to have more time to pay, but Judge Penn sent her to jail to serve 10 days, though she can be released if the amount is paid in full before the 10 days are up. Four jurors who had not shown up for jury duty last June were subpoenaed to court to explain why they had not shown up. The most common excuse given was that they had forgotten. Judge Penn fined one of them $25, and admonished all of them, telling them that jurors are verj important citizens and that our systen of justice cannot function unless peo pie remember and obey the summons* es. ’ .

This is supported by recent statistics that indicate Virginia experienced about a 30 percent drop in the number of teen fatalities so far this year, compared to the same time period in 1995. In addition, the National Association of Independent Insurers ranks Virginia 37th among the 50 states — with one being the worst — in the number of teenage deaths per 100,000 licensed drivers. In other words, only 13 states have lower teen death rate than Virginia,” said DMV Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb. “As the Governor’s highway safety representative, I am committed to implementing all of these legislative changes, thereby preserving the safety of Virginia’s future generations,” he added. The new bills make Virginia’s system one of the strongest in the country, he said. • Currently, applicants who fail the knowledge exam can return the next day and retake the test, and continue taking the exam every day until they pass. As of July 1, 1996, applicants under 18 years of age must wait 15 days before they can retake the written exam.

It will take three to four weeks to complete. The survey will be for the location of a left-turn lane for westbound vehicles turning oft' U.S. 211 onto U.S. 522, according Bob Moore, VDOT Warrenton resident engineer. U.S. 211 will require widening to the north side of the present roadway to make room for the turn lane. The planned construction will not infringe on property on which the Sperryville Emporium is located. The improvement is in the current six-year plan at an estimated cost of $155,000. Construction could begin late this year or in early 1997. Construction and opening of a left-tum lane is expected to lessen problems of traffic backing up on U.S. 211 behind vehicles waiting to make left turns at the intersection. Rappahannock News SlafY Photo hy Sharon Kilpatrick Greg Freeman, Ron Frazier, Aaron Whorton, Jay Katzen, Forrest Whorton, Jonathan Whorton and Gary Whorton prepare to depart from the Ben Venue Market. Riders Retrace Ghostly Path Del. Jay Katzen, Jackson District Supervisor Ron Frazier, his daughter Kristin, Forrest Wharton, Gary Whorton, Marty Whorton, Jonathan Whorton, Aaron Whorton and Greg Freeman set out Friday on a two-day 40-mile horseback ride retracing some of the routes of John Singleton Mosby, The Grey Ghost, and his rangers during the Civil War in Rappahannock, Warren and Fauquier counties. Backup riders were Ronnie Frazier, Zane Whorton, Teresa Whorton and Cathy Frazier. Starting from Hackley’s Store, they followed U.S. 211 to the Ben Venue Market for their first stop. Mr. Frazier noted that Col. Mosby had taken a captured Union prisoner through the area to Charlottesville and that two of Mosby’s men were captured by Union forces at the blacksmith shop at Ben Venue and one, Albert Gallatin Willis, was hanged from a poplar tree near what is now Willis Chapel Methodist Church in retaliation for the hanging of a Union prisoner. Mr. Willis, a young ministerial student, volunteered to be the one hanged because his companion was married and had children. Del. Katzen and his companions then followed Route 729 to FUnt Hill, and traveled north on U.S. 522 to Willis Chapel and along Route 635 to the Marriott ranch. On Saturday they continued in Fauquier County and ended the ridt^ at Sky Meadows State Park, the home place of two of Mosby’s rangers, Abner and Isaac Settle. They carried with them American, Virginia and Confederate Hags, the Culpeper Minutemen Flag and a replica of the 6th Virginia Cavalry Company B "Rappaha nnock Troop” flag presented to a contingent of cavalry that included riders from Rappahannock County in Gordonsville in 1862. Marsha Savage of Castleton finished making the reproduction of the flag on Tuesday so it could be carried during the ride. It has coral colored stars and a starburst. The original is in The Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond. Asked why he was doing this, Del. Katzen, who is campaigning for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor in the 1997 election, said, “It’s fun, and it’s important to commemorate and keep alive the history of Virginia. And it’s a great way to spend the Fourth of July weekend with friends.” Mrs. Frazier reported the group “encountered no armed opposition along the way. It was a great trip ” — By SHARON KILPATRICK

Four Injured in Wreck By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer A one vehicle wreck on Route 231 last Wednesday evening sent all four occupants of a truck to area hospitals. According to State Trooper Sean Knick who investigated the accident, the driver of the 1977 Ford pickup was Robert William May, 64, of Culpeper. Riding with him in the front seat were Donna K. Keys, 38, and Pamela H. Grigsby, 30, both of Culpeper. Thomas E. Grigsby, 45, also of Culpeper, was riding in the bed of the truck at the time of the crash. Trooper Knick said that the truck was travelling north on Route 231, 1/4 mile south of Route 621, when the driver lost control of the vehicle, and it skidded off the right side of the road, struck an embankment and overturned. Ms. Grigsby was airlifted to UVA Hospital by helicopter and was released from there on July 5. Mr. May and Mr. Grigsby were both taken to Culpeper Hospital, but Mr. May was, later flown down to the UVA Hospital, where at presstime he remained in good condition. Mr. Grigsby was released from the hospital on July 8. Ms. Keys was taken to Fauquier Hospital and released on July 4. Mr. May was charged with reckless driving, and Trooper Knick said that alcohol was involved in the accident. Howard Myers, 85, of Rixeyville, was charged with failure to yield the' right of way following an accident on U.S. 211 near Hillsdale Grocery about noontime on July 2. Mr. Myerg was driving a 1988 Lincoln and was turning through a crossover. He pulled out in front of a 1992 Buick driven by Williar McClaugherty, 72, of Warrenton, who struck Mr. Myers’ car in the side. Trooper C.A. Moore investigated the accident, in which Mr. Myers’ car had $1,000 damage and Mr. McClaugherty’s had $1,500. No injuries were reported. Last Thursday, a 1995 Pontiac driven by Rizvana Danka, 27,‘of Edison, NJ, was eastbound on U.S. 211, 1/2 mile east of Skyline Drive, when she ran off the right side of the road and struck a sign and some trees. Trooper W. Sumner charged her with reckless driving. Ms. Danka sustained some minor injuries and the car had $1,500 damage. Last Wednesday, David Denisar of Shenandoah, reported that while driving his wrecker on U.S. 211 in Washington, some boys (estimated to be about 13 years old) riding in the back of a cream colored pickup truck were throwing rocks out of the truck, striking his wrecker. He got the license number of the truck and the matter is under investigation. Charges are pending in a case in which Michael Whitticar of Richmond was driving his Isuzu Trooper on Route 621 when someone threw a beer bottle at his vehicle from the side of the road on July 7. Wallace Woodward of Rollins Ford Road in Amissville reported on July 2 that a $1,200 case bucket suspension seat had been stolen off of his bulldozer. ► Court From Page A-l The Grand Jury indicted four people. Larry Egbert Embrey, 44, of Remington, was indicted on two felonies — breaking and entering and grand larceny. He was charged with breaking and entering into a building belonging to Elmer Atkins on Antiques Lane in Sperryville last April and allegedly taking a baby cradle, two piano stools, an anvil and some pottery. Mr. Embrey is out on a $25,000 secured bond. George Dennis Coldsmith, 24, of Chambersburg, Pa., was indicted for possession of cocaine (a felony) and possession of marijuana (a misdemeanor). Howard Junior Gray, 35, of Culpeper, was indicted for allegedly forging two checks, for $125 and $200, on the account of Russell E. Pullen and Bertha L. Moore. A capias was issued for Mr. Gray’s arrest. Roy Allen Thomas Jr., 24, of Hume, was indicted for four felonies — two charges of breaking and entering and two charges of grand larceny. He was charged with breaking and entering into Kellej' W. Compher’s house and taking a Mossberg 12 gauge shotgun, and breaking and entering into James and Bonnie Lofton’s house and taking a Brother 720M fax machine. In a plea agreement with the Commonwealth, Gari Allen Kelley, 31, of Amissville, pleaded guilty to one felony, breaking and entering. He was originally indicted for that felony plus trespassing, petit larceny and destruction of private property when he along with two other adults and two juveniles broke into Montpelier; a house on Route 231, last November. Following the plea agreement Mr. Kelley was sentenced to five years in the prison, and all of that sentence was suspended as part of the agreement. Judge Penn said it was with great reluctance that the court agreed to go along with the plea agreement.

Nature Came Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Lisa Uram of the Wildlife Center of Virginia visited the Natural History Day Camp with an owl. ► Driving From Page A-l provision is to encourage applicants to study the driver’s manual, increasing their chance of passing and improving their skills and knowledge of Virginia’s motor vehicle laws. After Oregon, Virginia will have the longest waiting period before a juvenile can retake the driver’s license exam. . • Licensed drivers who accompany the learner must be seated beside the learner and lawfully permitted to operate a motor vehicle at the time. For example, the accompanying driver cannot be under the influence of alcohol or drugs or have his license suspended. • The licensed driver accompanying the learner must be 21 years of age — instead of 18 — unless the person is the learner’s brother, sister, half-brother or half-sister 18 years of age or over and a licensed driver. • A teen must hold the learner’s permit for at least six months or until he or she turns 18 years old, before obtaining a driver’s license. This change reinforces the intent of the >1995 legislation that lowered the age that teens may get their learner’s permit from 15 years and eight months to -15 years. The additional time allows "the learner to gain valuable driving ' experience behind the wheel under the Supervision of a qualified driver before receiving the driver’s license. Virginia will now have the longest learner’s permit holding period in the country. • However, a juvenile must be in good achdemic standing at school to get the learner’s permit at 15. Those not in good academic standing will have to wait until 15 years .and six months. • The number of demerit points that young drivers can accumulate will be lowered, getting them into DMV’s driver improvement system sooner. Currently, any driver who accumulates 12 to 17 demerit points in a 12-month period, or 18 to 23 demerit points in a 24-month period is required to attend a driver improvement clinic. After July 1, drivers under 18 years of age will be required to attend a driver improvement clinic if they accumulate nine points within a 12-month period or 12 points within a 24-month period. Qnce the teen completes a driver improvement clinic, he or she will be placed on probation for six months. If the teen acquires additional demerit points during the probation period, his or her license will be suspended. Virginia’s zero tolerance law prohibits persons under 21 years of age from illegally consuming alcohol and driving with a blood alcohol content greater than .02 and less then .08. However, teens age 16 and 17 years old arrested for driving under the influence were not subject to administrative license suspension. However, another bill effective in April with Governor Allen’s signature, states that a person under age 18 who registers a blood alcohol content of .08 or who refuses to take a breath test may have his or her driver’s license suspended immediately for seven days. Complementing these new laws, Virginia already has in place a “Use and Lose” law which affects juveniles 13 through 17 years of age adjudged to have violated provisions of this law regarding alcohol possession, consumption and distribution; curfew violations; delinquency and firearms possession, and/or use. Driver’s licensing for teens under 16 may be delayed up to one year, and teens 16 and older could lose their license for up to one year. During 1995, 2,423 juveniles were charged under this section of the code. Additionally, a parent or guardian may take a juvenile’s license for any amount of time or direct DMV to cancel the license for a six-month period. Furthermore, a juvenile court judge may suspend a juvenile’s license for any number of reasons, including status offenses such as truancy, alcohol/drug-related offenses, delinquency and curfew violations. ► Fourth Frojn Page A-1 news in 1950 when it elected an allwoman government. “Nowadays it is known as home of The Inn,” he said. “I wish the first Washington of them all another 200 years of health, happiness, prosperity and a Happy 4th of July.” Mayor Stewart Willis welcomed everybody to the celebration of the nation’s 220th birthday and the town’s 200th. He noted that photographer Henry Eastwood had donated a maple tree to the town which will be planted at the Town Hall. He expressed gratitude to Mr. William Carrigan for his support of the annual festivities and thanked RAAC for its “actual management.” Richard Perry, who is living in the “Old Rectory” on Main Street this summer while he works for the Weinberg campaign for Congress, said of Bob Weinberg, “For 30 years he served the community with compassion and dedication. He will make a fine representative for this district.” He said Mr. Weinberg would protect Social Security and Medicare, support an increase in the minimum wage, protect the environment and support student loans. “We of the 10th District would be proud to have Bob in Washington, as a voice that speaks with compassion and conviction.” Del. Katzen, who is seeking the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor in the 1997 election, noted the difference between last July 4 and ‘this one. He said that last year the county was trying to recover from tragic flooding while this year the weather was “sublime,” but he also noted that the recent past was marked with both the attack on American servicemen in Saudi Arabia and attacks on Black churches in the South. He said the nation is “marshalling military security” to prevent future terrorist attacks, “But if, at home, we as Americans provoke similar atrocities, precisely what rights are we defending abroad?” The speeches were preceded by singing of patriotic songs and followed by a wide variety of musical entertainment. Most vendors along Gay Street appeared to be having a successful day as crowds were not overwhelming, but visitors seemed to spend more time in town, probably because the day brought neither the usual extreme July 4 heat nor the all too frequent cloudburst. Before the fireworks display orchestrated by Richie Burke and friends from the Sperry ville Volunteer Fire Department, William Carrigan, owner of Avon Hall where the fireworks are held, reminded people that when the Constitutional Convention was deadlocked in controversy, Benjamin Franklin introduced a resolution that each day the Congress begin with a prayer to “The Father of Life.” Mr. Carrigan said trying to build a country without God is like building a Tower of Babel. He expressed concern that too many are trying to cut God out of the picture. ► Schools From Page A-l create a standard sized track surrounding a football field would require grading that would remove some of the existing parking area. Any space reclaimed for parking would have to come from the baseball Field. So plans are to convert it to a softball field, which requires less space, and move the baseball field. Rosa Crocker and Jay Monroe of Monroe and Crocker, P.C., landscape architects, who have been consulting with the board on an overall plan for athletic facilities, made their Final report to the School Board Tuesday night. They estimated a cost of about $41,000 to develop a new playing Field at the elementary school, but Mr. Monroe warned the board that cost estimates were not entirely reliable. Most of the cost would be for grading work. School Board member Bryant Lee said perhaps the Lions’ Club could get some donated labor, reducing the cost. By developing an additional playing Field there will be less pressure on existing uses of the Fields at the elementary school if baseball is moved there, the board felt. In addition it will be necessary to wait one year after the Field is seeded before it can be used. The consultants estimated a cost of about $52,800 to relocate the baseball field, and $23,500 to relocate the softball field to the current baseball field area. The new parking lot would cost an additional $53,200 according to the estimates. The most expensive part of the athletic facilities plan, by far, is developing a track surrounding a field that could be used for footbalf and soccer. They estimated that cost at $614,000. The School Board learned that results on the Literacy Passport Tests given to sixth graders did not improve this year, except in math, and were generally down from last year, a trend for the past three years. This-spring 72 percent of the sixth graders passed the reading test compared to 79.5 percent in 1995, 79.7 percent in 1994 and 94 percent in 1993. For writing 61 percent passed compared to 77.3 percent in 1995, 90.4 percent in 1994 and 94 percent in 1993. In math 77 percent passed this year compared to 74.6 percent in 1995, 79.7 percent in 1994 and 94 percent in 1993. Assistant Superintendent Mary Ann Biggs said there will be more emphasis on teaching writing; teachers are working on curriculum development to address the problems, and in recruiting teachers she is looking for people with “certain skills and experience.” She said the students “did not do as well as we know they can” based on past performance.

This Tim Robbins movie, based on a true-life account, is an extremely affecting experience, down to the last agonizing moment. When Sister Helen Prejean (Susan Sarandon) receives a letter from death row convict (Sean Penn) who claims he’s innocent of murder, she launches an appeal to save his life. Mr. Robbins’s script makes enlightening inroads into the convic t’s psyche, the anguish of the victims’ bereaved parents, and sister Helen’s divided attitude toward her incarcerated charge. Mr. Penn is tremendous as a caged, unsympathetic weasel who is also, somewhere inside, a human being, and Ms. Sarandon provides his perfect understated counterpoint. She won an Academy Award for her role in this movie. This movie, which takes a balanced view of the death penalty, will stay with you a long time. The movie is rated “R” and contains a graphic rape and murder scene, profanity and racist remarks. RAAC movies cost $5. SUBSCRIBE TO THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS.

This credibility is based largely on social convention which traditionally accepts the scene within the four borders of a photograph as proof positive of the event. Photographs possess the unique power to be proof positive, and thereby to inform, influence and change, as well as to provide a clear historical record. In order to protect photographic integrity and assure that the photograph shall remain an article of proof positive of events, the Rappahannock News adopts the following policy guidelines for the handling of editorial digital images in this newspaper as stated by the National Press Photographers Association: “As journalists we believe the guiding principle of our profession is accuracy, therefore, we believe it is wrong to alter the content of a photograph in any way that deceives the public. “As journalists we have the responsibility to document society and to preserve its images as a matter of historical record. “It is clear that the emerging electronic technologies provide new challenges to the integrity of photographic images. This technology enables the manipulation of the content of an image in such a way that the change is virtually undetectable. “We believe photojoumalistic guidelines for accuracy currently in use should be the criteria forjudging what may be done electronically to a photograph. Altering the content of a photograph, in any degree, is a breach of ethical standards recognized by the NPPA.” Football Sentiment is increasing to try to add a football program at Rappahannock County High School. Also needed is the realization that this is a very expensive proposition and that just adding football will not, in and of itself, increase school pride and improve performance on and off the athletic fields. A successful football program might do these things. An unsuccessful one would probably do more harm than good. A consulting firm has estimated that $614,000 would provide the facilities as well as a track, but the cost goes beyond that. It includes paying a coaching staff and uniforms that cost more than any uniforms the Boosters’ Club has so far provided. Revenue from football gate receipts could help offset those costs, but revenue is, at least partly, related to the success of the team. The current practice of assigning coaching duties to any teacher willing to undertake a coaching position has produced more failures than successes. The school administration feels teachers must be hired primarily for their teaching abilities. That makes sense, but athletic success will then depend on finding other people for coaching positions and paying them stipends that make all the long hours and hard work seem worthwhile. The current policy of preferring any school system employee for coaching positions over any outsider must be scrapped. Just as great teachers have a gift for teaching, so do great coaches have a gift for coaehing. When the people of Rappahannock County want something badly enough the money is forthcoming. The county has a new library because of private fund raising. The Catholics have a new church because of private fund raising. Only time will tell whether the people of Rappahannock County want a football program badly enough to, raise the money for it. Band Boosters Say Thanks To the Editor: * On behalf of the Rappahannock County High School Band and the Band Boosters, we want to thank all that supported us during our Spring Concert. Thanks to the Sperryville Emporium, Cabin Fever Books, The Country Cafe and Faith Mountain for donating items for the door prizes. A special thanks to the many businesses in the county that generously placed ads in our program. For the first time ever the Rappahannock High School Band can proudly wear uniforms next year. They were achieved through contributions from people like you and the sales of fruit, bake sales and donations. Its’ real hard to raise $5,000 this way, but we did it. The Band Boosters are working on some different and exciting projects next year to combat the ever increasing budget. We also welcome new members to the Band Boosters. If your child is a member of the band, it’s your obligation to be a part of this organization to add strength and support to the band. Thank you again and we hope to see you in September.

GARY JENKINS Washington Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Ellen Manson, left, led a recently assembled choir and the public in singing July 4. Mayor Says, Thanks To the Editor: - The Independence Day celebration in Washington has again been an enormous success! It is a legacy given to the entire Rappahannock community by William Carrigan, and we are grateful to him for his inspiration and guidance, the use of his property and his continuing support. We cannot thank him enough. There are many others who deserve our thanks as well. The effort of managing the activities of the day has fallen on the shoulders of a very few members of RAAC. They have done a superb job. Without them, this special day would not have occurred. This is a Rappahannock celebration, and I would hope that in the future more individuals in the community would offer to support the event and ease the burden currently shouldered by a few. This year’s holiday received a boost through the excellent support provided by the Sheriff’s Office. This added enormously to the efficiency and safety of the day and we express our appreciation. We are also grateful for the support provided by the trusties, Gary and Tim, who did so much to prepare and manicure the Town in preparation for the big day and who cleaned up after everyone else was gone. Finally, I’d like to express the Town’s appreciation to the people who came and treated the Town with dignity while enjoying this special event. STEWART WILLIS, Mayor Town of Washington Generosity Appreciated To the Editor: Nancy and I would like to express our deep felt thanks to all those who have been so supportive in these last few days. It is a source of deep gratification to know that we have so many friends. You have opened your hearts to us, and thanks to your generous effort our short ’ term needs have been met. We appreciate this deeply. While we have yet to make any long-term plans, we want you all to „ know that we are doing well and ag^in ,, how much we appreciate your many kindnesses. KENT REEVE " Washington We Must Live Our Ideals By JAY KATZEN Del. 31st District How ironic that our last Fourth of July together, an occasion for lament over raging rivers and the lives they took, has been followed by a Fourth of July sublime in weather. Yet, of a calmness which has been preceded by a murderous act of terrorism abroad and heinous and senseless acts of church burnings far closer to home. Our rage against the violence which took American lives in Saudi Arabia is resulting in the marshalling of military security and might which, hopefully, will punish those responsible and thwart such acts in the future. But if, at home, we as Americans provoke similar atrocities, precisely what rights are we defending abroad? Burning a house of worship is not a right. It is a wrong. And a society, in which such violence occurs — however great we are in so many other ways — has a lesser claim to world leadership. The sanctity of our nationality itself is affected, too. Loving America as we do, we are less a good American if we fail to love other Americans as much as we do the very' land in which we live. Principles which we espouse are essential, but living them — whatever our station — is the challenge. Benjamin Franklin said, “Well done is better than well said." Only by living our ideals will our republic remain the object of students’ dreams, and not the target of cowards’ wrath. As ■ Washington celebrates its 200th Anniversary, we can take great pride in the doing as well as the saying: We can be deeply proud of the graduations we attended last month, and community participation in the river clean-up of the spring and snow removal of the winter. Throughout the year, we stand tall, with Rappahannock’s everyday Virginians *■ doing what they believe is right — for ,, their families, their community, and in daily service to God. Making America. ;, a little bit greater by caring for her a ; little bit more. Despite the Rockets’ Red Glare, >•/ Old Glory is still there and you, the good lamplighters of Rappahannock, - through your independence and .. courage, your love of town, county, , commonwealth, nation, nature, and humanity, keep those fires of freedom burning bright. Thank you, Rappahannock. And Happy 220th Birthday, America. May God continue to bless you and us all. Editor 's Note: Del. Jay Katzen, delivered this speech July 4 in front of , the county Courthouse. Del. Katzen is, seeking the Republican nomination for t lieutenant governor in the 1997 election. Persecution Led to Religious Freedom By RAYNER V. SNEAD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer As we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the Town of Washington and also celebrate our independence and freedom, I want to mention three freedoms we have now that we did not have before the Revolutionary War and tell you of the sacrifices made by several citizens living in this area to help achieve freedom of the press, freedom of religion and freedom of speech. I am proud to be a freeholder of the town and to live almost within its boundary. Every day 1 am thankful for our many blessings, including a good town and county government and the beauty of living almost within the afternoon shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 1 am happy that 1 can by choice belong to the Washington Baptist Church and by choice and not compulsion of law attend the Trinity Episcopal Church and also by choice belong to the Brotherhood of St. Andrews of the Episcopal Church. It was not always so. Shortly before the Revolutionary War one would have been required to attend the Anglican Church and support it by tithes and offerings and could have been enjoined from speaking or writing contrary to its doctrines. Prior to the Revolution the Anglican Church was part of the government of the Colony, the vestrymen of the church were more often than not the justices of the peace that administered justice and saw to it that the civil and church laws were executed. In 1768 there were several prominent men living near the village of Washington who played vital roles in establishing our precious freedoms of press, religion and speech. Captain Tom McClanahan and his brother William were Baprtist sympathizers and resided on The Chester Gap Thoroughfare now known as the Fodderstack Road. Captain Tom lived on the land now owned by Tom Lee. During the Revolutionary War period he recruited a company of mostly Baptists to fight with the Culpeper Minutemen. , On the south side of the village of Washington in the part of the county now known as Tiger Valley lived a staunch Anglican member of the landed gentry, John Dabney Strother, who was also a magistrate along with.his near neighbor John Slaughter, likewise a magistrate. Captain Strother had built near his home a chapel of ease for worshipers who could' not because of distance go to another church in Bromlleld Parish. One November day in that year of 1768, Jamie Ireland, a new convert to Christ and the Baptist faith, was on his way from the Shenandoah Valley to assist in constituting a new Baptist Church at Carter’ Run in Fauquier County. We can surmise that he may have stayed overnight at Coxe’s Tavern in our village of Washington. We do know from his diary that on his return trip he stopped at Captain Tom McCIanahan’s and was encouraged to preach the next day on Menefee land in or near the Gid Brown Hollow, just three miles south of here, although he was warned by Captains Strother and Slaughter that if he did preach, he would be arrested. “Having ventured all upon Christ, I determined to suffer all for him,” he wrote in his diary. Jamie Ireland did preach the next day and he was arrested and taken to the Culpeper jail where he was imprisoned during the winter of 1768-69 and there suffered bitter and intense persecution. As a result of Ireland’s imprisonment and that of dozens of other Baptist ministers in adjoining counties both Madison and Jefferson worked with other advocates to establish religious freedom in Virginia. On January 16, 1786, The Virginia Act for Religious Freedom was passed by the General Assembly of Virginia and is provided in part, “That no man shall be compelled to frequent or support i>ny religious worship, place or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested or burthened, in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument maintain, their opinions in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge or affect their civil capacities.” Jefferson considered his part in promoting this Act as one of his greatest achievements. In 1791 the Bill of Rights was added to our newly enacted Constitution of the United State, which had been supported vigorously by both Madison and Jefferson. The first amendment to our constitution provides: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Now, over 200 years later in our ['own of Washington, The Episcopalians and Baptists enjoy a new and friendly ecumenical relationship. They have joint vacation Bible schools, joint Lenten services and a Thanksgiving service together with the other churches in the county. The Baptist Minister and the Episcopal Rector live across the street from one another and have a close working relationship including a shared jail ministry. As we celebrate the 200th anniversary of our town and our independence for which our forefathers fought and bled and died, 1 wish for the Town , of Washington another 200 years of health, happiness, peace, prosperity and freedom. “Seeds of Faith" a history of Washington Baptist Church by Rob Hewitt to be published late this year was a resource for this report.

Brandon Holloway got credit All Stars Win One of Three By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News StafT Writer After going down 13 to 1 to Madison in their opening game of the 12 and under tournament at Stuart Field on July 4, the Rappahannock AH Stars defeated Peachtree 15-3 on Friday. Both games were stopped at the end of the fourth inning under the “slaughter” rule. “It kind of stops the bleeding,” one parent commented. Brandon Holloway was the winning pitcher in the game with Peachtree. Chris Brown and Noah Starks served as relievers. Zack Ashby led the hitting with three doubles, a single and three RBIs. Noah Starks had a single and a double and four RBIs. Zack and Michael Fairbrother combined on a double play in the third inning which was one of the highlights of the defense. The win set up a repeat match with Madison Saturday. Madison had been "sent down to the losers bracket by eventual tournament champion Greene. Again Brandon started. He faced only seven batters in his two innings and had four strikeouts. In the bottom of the second inning the home team got a 2-0 lead on a double by Michael Fairbrother with two men on base.

SPORTS Monarchs Take Two From Broadway By DAVID CLANAGAN Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer The Rappahannock Monarchs won both games of a double header with the Broadway Badgers Sunday at the RCHS baseball field in Apple Valley competition. In doing so the Monarchs bounced back after losing three road games in a row. In the first game Leroy North went the distance on the mound striking out eight and walking only three to contribute to the Rapp 12-6 victory- ryBroadway took the early lead 2-0 in the first inning, but the Monarchs managed to tie the score and then go ahead 3-2 in the bottom half of the inning aided by a one-run homer by Reggie Williams, two walks, one hit and some fancy base running. That score held up through the second inning. Then the Monarchs had a huge third inning with 11 batters at the plate that led to a 10-2 lead. Reggie Williams led off with a single. William Parker’s triple sent him home. Paul Brown’s double brought Parker home. Roland Harris had a single which moved P. Brown to third. Then Harris stole second. Luther Alexander’s single scored P. Brown and moved Harris to third. Junior Jones single scored Harris. Brook Miller’s single drove in Alexander. Festus Clanagan was out at first on a fielder’s choice, but Miller advanced to second and stole third. Back in the batter’s box for the second time in the inning, Reggie Williams had the final hit scoring Miller. Broadway managed to cut into that lead but could not overcome it. Another Williams hit added to the Monarchs score in the fifth inning. Another Harris hit got the final Rappahannock run in the bottom of the sixth inning as Paul Brown came home from second. The game ended with a disputed call during a run down between third base and home. Leading Monarch hitters in the first game included Reggie Williams with three singles in addition to the homer, and Brook Miller and Paul Brown with a double and single apiece. The Monarchs won the second game 15-9. Luther Alexander started on the mound, and William Parker finished the game. On the offensive end Lynn Hackley had a home run and two doubles. Reggie Williams added a double and a single. Jason Brown had a double, and Roland Harris had two singles. Even though the games were shortened to seven innings, it was a long afternoon in the hot sun for enthusiastic Monarchs fans. Next up for the Monarchs will be Woodstock at the high school at 2 p.m., this Sunday, July 14. On Saturday night, July 20, the Monarchs will again face Woodstock at Bing Crosby Stadium in Front Royal. .

Buying a Virginia Lottery ticket is more than just taking a chance at winning a prize. It's also an investment in Virginia. Since the Virginia Lottery began in 1988, the Lottery has given more than $2 Billion to the state. Lottery dollars are making an impact in Virginia. On June 30th, the Virginia Lottery made its largest payment ever —- $331 million, which was $17 million greater than the Lottery’s goal of $314 million. This money is used for important priorities such as funding needs for public schools, grades K -12. In addition to revenues for the General Fund, this year the Lottery collected nearly $1 million in debts owed to the Commonwealth from prize winners. These debts include unpaid taxes, child support, and tuition payments. Since 1988, more than $4.5 million has been turned over to the Debt Set-Off fund by the Lottery. There’s another way that the Lottery is helping to build a better Commonwealth. As state law requires, unclaimed lottery prizes go to Virginia’s Literary Fund. The Literary Fund is used to assist localities in building schools, to bring computers to classrooms and to fund teacher retirements. The Lottery contributed more than $8 million to the Literary Fund in Fiscal Year 1996; nearly $40 million has been contributed to this Fund by the Lottery since 1988. Each time you purchase a lottery ticket, remember that you are helping to build a stronger future for Virginia. Thank you Virginia for supporting the Virginia Lottery.

Recipes Shared From 4-H Day Camp By HELEN SMITH CxtculM Afrit, Home Ecraoaict The week of June 24-28, 1996 75 children participated in 4-H Day Camp. Robin Frye, Ginger Estes and Cathy Smoot were teachers of the cooking class. Each day the children in their classes prepared a recipe which I’d like to share in my nutrition column this week. A special thanks goes to the Virginia Cattlewomen’s Association for a $50 donation for groceries for teaching the lesson on ground beef and the nutrients that we receive from beef. Basic Omelet Recipe The following recipe can be used for every kind of omelet — plain or filled, main course or dessert. It makes one omelet. 2 eggs 2 tablespoons water dash of salt dash of white pepper 1 tablespoon butter or margarine (Double ingredients when making HOME ECONOMICS two omelets.) Break eggs into a bowl and add water, salt and pepper. Beat lightly with a whisk or fork. When Brunch Pan is preheated, place butter in pan, swirling it around until it stops foaming. Pour egg mixture into pan (or use a ladle). Allow eggs to set a few seconds. Using spatula, gently pull egg mixture from outer edge towards center, allowing the uncooked egg mix ture to flow more readily. Repeat on opposite sides of pan until all of the egg mixture has stopped flowing. When eggs are set but still shiny and moist, slide your spatula underneath half the eggs and fold over. A twoegg omelet will be done in about 45 seconds. Holding the handle with one hand, merely slide the folded omelet onto a warm plate. You can also invert the Brunch pan as the omelet slides out, giving it another fold. Sometimes, the filling will make sliding the omelet onto the plate the easier method. Garnish and serve immediately or keep warm, while making the next one. Filling An Omelet Follow basic omelet recipe, but add filling before omelet is folded. Place filling on only half of the omelet so that you can easily fold over the other half. Taco’s 1 head lettuce shredded 1 medium onion chopped 1 cup grated cheese 1 box taco shells 2 pounds hamburger 1 package taco mix 2 tomatoes Brown hamburger with onions then add taco mix let simmer 20 minutes. Put hamburger in shells top with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream if desired. i Quesedillas Tortilla shells mild salsa grated sharp cheese Place salsa and cheese on tortilla shells heat until cheese melts. Can microwave for 30 seconds. Crispana . Take a tortilla shell cut in 1/4’s fry crisp* drain on paper towel sprinkle on cinnamon and sugar. Grapenut Homemade Ice Cream 1 box grapenut cereal 1 1/2 ice cream mix salt June Activities at Thistle Hill B&B Inn The Rappahannock County Garden Club held their June business meeting, June 19 at Thistle Hill B&B Inn near Boston.

Mr. Olson formerly resided in Warrenton and in Flint Hill. Mrs. Qlson resided in Winchester and in Washington, D.C. AMERICAN ’ CANCER ■ SOCIETY moker Beth DeBergh. Thirty five members attended, enjoying Crusted Pork Medallions, potatoes and fresh green beans. A special dessert was created for the occasion and featured ice cream garnished with toasted coconut and cinnampn sugar, served on a chocolate pizzella. All members received a favor of potted herbs for their kitchen gardens. Thistle Hill has also been the site of several cook-outs for the Art Workshops from Shimmering Meadows Farm. The new back deck provided an ideal setting to enjoy grilled entrees of steak, chicken, fish and spare ribs, for parties of 14 to 16 artists. A buffet table provided salads, vegetables, beverages and dessert. Thankfully, the weather was ideal and the umbrella tables needed only to shield the setting sun. Thistle Hill was also host to several of the participants. June 25 saw 5 participants of the Ninth Annual Bike Virginia spend the night at Thistle Hill. The Wilsons went to the Culpeper County High School to meet the cyclists. They had already picked up the guests, baggage earlier m4he day. The two women and three men had covered, on bicycle, distances ranging from 53 to 103 miles just that day. After a shower, a dip in the Hot Tub and a little rest, the guests enjoyed dinner, family style, in the Inn’s Great Room. Charles and Marinne rose at 4:30 a.m. to prepare and early breakfast, and by 6:45 a.m., the 5 cyclists were once again on the road. This year Bike Virginia featured a tour of civil war sites. The five day event started Saturday, June 22 and ended on the 26th in Manassas.
