Mackie Lee Jenkins was present . with his wife and two children. He built on a lot across Route 645 from the proposed location for the post office, “and we’re against it,” he said. He said they put their savings into a house in Rappahannock County “to get away from Manassas” and they did not think they would be facing a commercial use so close to their home. The county recently amended the zoning ordinance to allow post offices with a special use permit in rural residential zoning, which is the zoning on that part of Route 635. Some years ago the planners con sidered four potential locations For a new post office for Amissville. They approved two and turned down two, one across Route 635 from the proposed new location. At that time they indicated they would prefer that a village use, like a post office, be located on the south side of U.S. 211 and closer to the heart of the village. Nevertheless one of the sites approved was on the north side, in the current More gasoline station. With a new Postmaster General and change in administration in Washington, nothing was done to pursue putting a new post office in either of the sites approved by the planners as all plans for new post-offices were put on hold. Recently the Postal * Service asked for new bids for a 15year lease for an Amissville Post Office.

The last charge carries a mandatory three year sentence in prison, and the jury had no choice but to give him the three year sentence for that crime. They handed him a two-year sentence for maliciously shooting at an occupied vehicle, and one year each for the other two charges. This was a bifurcated trial, meaning that the j<ury decides the defen dant’s sentence if he is found guilty, and they are informed of the defendant’s criminal history, if any, before deciding on the sentence. The judge informs them of the sentencing range for each crime and they return to the jury room to decide upon the defendant’s sentence. The judge still does a formal sentencing of the defendant; for Mr. Leake that will be on Sept. 6. The charges stem from incidents which occurred on Halloween night, Oct. 31, 1995. On that night, Mr. Leake was at the Chester Gap Fire Department parking lot with his friend, Gregory Daniel Hickerson, said Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke during his opening statement to the jury. Mr. Hickerson, who said that he and the defendant had known each other nearly their whole lives and had been good friends, described the events of that night in his testimony. He said that while he and the defendant were in the parking lot, a car with four or five boys, including driver Thomas Kennedy, drove by the parking lot and then stopped. The boys were swinging sticks, said Mr. Hickerson. He then drove the defendant to his house to pick up a 30.06 Remington rifle and returned to the parking lot at the firehouse. Mr. Hickerson testified that he told Mr. Leake that he did not need the rifle, but Mr. Leake told him that they couldn’t leave their friends up there (at the firehall parking lot) with no defense. The Kennedy car returned to the parking lot and so did the car with Mr. Hickerson' and the defendant. Mr. Hickerson said that one of the boys in the car said he would fight any person one-on-one and someone from Chester Gap offered to fight him. The defendant got into a fight with someone and hollered for Mr. Hickerson; he then went to Mr. Hickerson’s car and See Court, Page A-6 Old Rag Bulletins Athletic Physicals Any RCHS student planning to participate in any sport during the 1996-97 school year . must have a Virginia High School League - physical form on file before the start of the sports season.

That was the preliminary conclusion presented by John Rice of Ensat to the Planning Commission last Wednesday, based on a study of Sperry ville’s ground water done by the firm under contract with the planners. The 25-page draft report presented to the planners was based partly on studies of logs provided by well-drillers for wells drilled in the study area since 1984. There were reports on 20 wells which produced between 0.25 and 60 gallons per minute with an average yield of 10 gallons per minute. In spite of that average, most of the wells yielded See Water, Page A-6 Rep. Wolf Sees Republican Successes Congressman Frank Wolf was in Rappahannock County last Friday catching up on local events. He reported success with his bill to create a commission to study the effects of legalized gambling and passing the transportation appropriation part of the budget. Rep.

Although he was part of the two-vote Republican majority that put Newt Gingrich in the minority whip’s post in 1989 leading to his advancement to minority leader and See Wolf, Page A-6 t Photo courtesy of Scan Kilpatrick Candidate Mark Warner visits with Ruth Grimsley outside the Public House. Mark Warner Visits County By SHARON KILPATRICK RappahuRock Newt Staff Writer Mark Warner brought his bid for a U.S. Senate seat to Rappahannock County last Tuesday, the 60th or 61st, he wasn’t sure which, of the 135 jurisdictions he promised to visit before Labor Day. He met with the public in the garden at the Flint Hill Public House and then attended a private party in Huntly. Mark Warner said three factors will enable him to win the race over incumbent Republican Sen. John Warner — their ditTerences on the issues, his greater desire and hard work and his vision for the future of Virginia and the nation. ■ On the issues, Mark Warner said John Warner had voted to cut $10 billion from the student loan program. “I disagree with that,” he said. Mr. Warner has repeatedly said studept loans enabled him to attend college and he wants to keep that dream alive for others. “He co-sponsored legislation to take protection off 75 percent of Virginia’s currently protected wetlands,” Mr. Warner said of John Warner. “I disagree with that.” He said Sen. Warner supports cutting $270 billion from Medicare “to give a tax cut to wealthy people like me and him.” Mr. Warner is largely financing his campaign out of his own pocket. He built his fortune by early involvement in the cellular telephone industry. “I believe the government should stay out of decisions about what a woman does with her body. I wo weeks ago he [Sen. Warner] * voted to restrict the right of women serving in the military to get an abortion, even if she spends her own money,” Mr. Warner said. That provision did not pass. “In 1995 he voted 94 percent of the time with Newt Ciingrich." That shows the pattern Mark See Warner, Page A-6

The FBI released further information about the slayings. The womens’ wrists had been tied, and one woman was found in the tent and one outside the tent. It had been reported earlier that both bodies were found in the tent. The women were probably killed on May 27 or later. The FBI released the additional information prior to the crime being reported on Fox television’s show “America’s Most Wanted last Saturday evening. As a result of that show 51 tips were reported, but the crime remains unsolved. In all investigators have received over 500 leads and have followed up on them without finding a suspect or motive for the crime. Anyone with any information Is asked to call a special toll-free number (888) 856-2467. Numerous larcenies have been reported in the area of Crest Hill Road (Route 647) in Flint Hill near the Fauquier County line.

Major MacWelch is working with the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office since there have been about 15 larcenies in Fauquier County which are probably related.

More Deer, ; Bear Killed Virginia deer hunters killed 218,476 deer during the 1995 hunting season, according to figures released by the Virginia Game Commission. This was a record for the state. In Rappahannock County 1,914 deer were killed, 1,079 bucks and 829 does, with another six of unknown sex. That means that 43 percent were does, slightly higher than the state average of 40 percent. Rappahannock County was sixth highest in the state with 31 bears killed. Statewide 602 bear were killed, a 16 percent increase over the 1994 season. The number of turkey killejd during the fall season was down 23.5 percent from last year, but the Game Commission said that was the result of a decision to shorten the fall season to increase the supply of turkey for future years.

Hospice Workers Learn About Pain Dr. Carlos Gomez, Assistant Professor of Medicine at University of Virginia Medical Center and Medical Director at Hospice of the Piedmont, presented a talk on pain control for patients suffering from end-stage disease on June 19 at Hospice of the Rapidan. Attending the talk were 15 caregivers, including several nurses who visited from Fauquier Hospital Home Health. Much of the discussion focused on barriers to effective pain control, such as attitudes and beliefs about opiates, knowledge deficits and clinical practices, and legal regulations which can make physicians reluctant to prescribe medication. Dr. Gomez cited a study which revealed that between 50 to 80 percent of cancer patients do not receive adequate pain control, primarily due to myths surrounding the use of narcotics. In an effort to dispel these myths, Dr. Gomez emphasized that although patients suffering from end-stage chronic disease must depend on drugs to relieve their pain, they do not become “addicts.” Because they experience a different kind of pain than other patients, clinical techniques for managing their pain must be adjusted accordingly. For instance, he recommends that opiates be administered regularly in anticipation of pain returning rather than allowing the patient to slip back into pain before requesting the next dose. The use of patient-controlled analgesic pumps has also been effective in keeping patients pain-free. “It has been well established that patients use less when they control their own meds than those who have to ask for it,” he said. “I think the most important thing is to listen and believe the patient when we tdlk about pain. To make patients prove they are in pain is cruel.” The staff hopes to bring Dr. Gomez back again this fall to speak with the community about larger issues surrounding end of life care. Hospice of the Rapidan requests donations of portable cassette tape players. Ideally, players should be the small type (similar to the Sony Walkman), in good working order, and audible both with and without headphones. Headphones are also needed. Hospice will loan the players to patients who may use them to listen to soothing music or complimentary therapy tapes for pain control. To donate used equipment, or if you can help in any other way, please call 825-4840. Two registered nurses on the staff at Hospice of the Rapidan have earned certification in the new hospice nursing specialty. They are patient family care coordinator Essie Rossi, R.N., of Fauquier County, and staff nurse Brenda Welch, R.N., of Viewtown. “Hospice nursing is a unique interdisciplinary and holistic approach to patient care which deserves to be recognized as a specialized area of expertise,” said Patricia Tuffy, R.N., executive director of Hospice of the Rapidan. “Because certification can be a source of assurance to families considering hospice care, we encourage each of our nurses to test as soon as they become eligible. All of our staff are well qualified, and now over half of our registered nurses carry the certification.” A nurse must have at least 4,000 hours of full-time experience in hospice to be eligible to test for certification. Hospice is currently recruiting volunteers for their free fall training program that begins in September. Last year 68 volunteers provided over 1,870 hours of service to the organization and its clients. To learn more, call Martha Sukites at 825-4840. Judy Larkin was recently appointed to the position as director of social services for Hospice of the Rapidan. She will also serve as hospital/nursing home liason and assist with bereavement counseling. Hospice of the Rapidan is a nonprofit organization providing comprehensive care and volunteer support to terminally ill patients and their families.

On that date, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of* Consumer Protection, began the tollfree 800 number telephone hotline established by the 1996 Virginia General Assembly to provide a way for people across the state to make inquiries and file complaints about possible violations of law regarding consumer transactions. The toll-free telephone number for Virginia calls from outside the Richmond area is (800) 552-9963. With one free call, consumers statewide are able to get answers to their questions about a variety of consumer affairs topics, including chari.table solicitations, prizes and gifts, health spas, new and used car problems, 900 number calls, membership campgrounds, unsolicited goods, travel clubs and problems with fraudulent and unfair business practices. In addition, the toll-free line gives consumers access to information and advice on other consumer protection issues including the safety and proper labeling of foods; the accuracy of weights and measurements; the safe use, application and disposal of pesticides; and the quality of lime, seed, feed, animal remedies, fertilizer and gasoline. Publications relating to these topics as well as the Consumer Affairs complaint form can also be requested through the 800 number. With the touch of a button, callers can select the subject they want to discuss or go directly to a Consumer Affairs telephone counselor. Counselors will be available from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to answer questions, help resolve problems and provide materials. “The best protection against fraud and rip-offs is an informed consumer. With the toll-free hotline, Virginians will have ready access to the information and assistance they need to make the right decisions and to help get the most for their money,” noted J. Carlton Courter 111, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. ^ABERDEEN BARN Located in the Holiday Inn, Rt. 29 South, Culpeper ABERDEEN Wednesday Night Prime Rib <M j Thursday Night Steak Dinner New York Strip, Salad, Potato & Onion Rings Special $10.95 RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA: - WHEREAS, It is appropriate that The Town of Washington, being the 'First Washington of them all,' conduct an Independence Day Celebration on the Fourth of July of each year, and WHEREAS, more than thirty-five years ago, William and Ramona Carrigan of Avon Hall were responsible for initiating and promoting an organized Independence Day Celebration in the Town, and WHEREAS, said Independence Day Celebration has been held annually since it was begun by William ancLRamona Carrigan, and has become an event which is eagerly anticipated and enjoyed by the residents of Rappahannock County, and WHEREAS, William Carrigan has continued to lend his presence and his support to the Celebration throughout the entire history of the Celebration, and has made the grounds of Avon Hall available for the fireworks display and for other events related to the Celebration, and has neither asked for nor expected any compensation for his contributions, and WHEREAS, The Town of Washington is extremely fortunate to have among its residents such a patriotic and community-minded citizen, and on behalf of the citizens of the Town, the Town Council wishes to express its sincere appreciation to William Carrigan for his invaluable contributions, and his dedication to the celebration of America's birthday; NOW THEREFORE, The Town Council of the Town of Washington.

The Comprehensive Plan calls for development to occur around the villages. If the village concept means anything, it means that facilities central to village life should be near the center of the villages: Route 645 is east of Early’s Carpet. What remains of the village of Amissville centers aroud Hackley’s Store and the current post office building. The United States Postal Service should look at that area for the future post office. Some years ago the planners faced four applications for new locations for. a post office. At that time they said they wanted the new post office on the south side of U.S. 211 and they approved one site in that location. They also approved a site on the north side, but that would have been in an existing commercially used building. - Fearing that the Postal Service might move the post office out of the county, the planners and Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to the zoning ordinance that allows post offices in rural residential zoned land. That was a mistake, and the objection of nearby neighbors to having a post office across the road from them makes that clear. Nothing came of the planners’ support for two post office locations several years ago. A new national administration was elected and approval of new locations for post offices was pul on hold. We can be sure that on the eve of another Presidential election if the Board of Zoning Appeals goes along with the planners recommendation, the same thing will happen again. That does not mean that Rappahannock County and the Amissville postal patrons should have to put up with the inadequate current post office forever, but it does mean that there should be no rush to approve a location in a rural residential area so far removed from the cefiter of Amissville. Power Outage ; A portion of Washington was without electricity Monday afterncton because Potomac Edison apparently ignored a warning they received Thursday night that there was a serious and potentially *• dangerous problem with a line on Piedmont Avenue. ; The homeowner deserves an explanation of why her report was ignored until the line burned through and a portion of the town was without electricity. She feels understandably that the safety of her hcjuse and the health of her family was put at risk. ! Potomac Edison has been sending out press releases trying to explain that consolidating more and more of the company’s operatipns with Alegheny Power is going to lead to improved service in a!highly competitive environment. Instead it appears that what is happening is the people who actually do the work are being laid off leaving customers with poorer service and greater frustration. 0 Rappahannock Athlete Receive w^Hrold in Decathlon! i Si V " . . and I owe it all to the rich Rappahannock residents that gave money to the athletes at RCHS to build a track and field for future Olympic competitors/ like me." Letters I Told You So To the Editor: It is not too often that„one gets to say “I told you so." In 1952 concerned citizens of the unincorporated residential area known as North Palo Alto held a meeting at the Ravensworth Elementary School to discuss the problem of autos speeding through their subdivision, especially on Saturday afternoons after a football game at Stanford U. 'North Palo Alto wa!s a small subdivision of modest single-family homes located between Menlo Park on the North and i Palo Alto on the South. The State Highway Patrol claimed that it did not have the manpower to patrol the few streets involved. (No one had been killed yet. The usual impetus for official action.) Installation of 25 Mile Per Hour speed limit signs had no effect. At the meeting the writer, a full-time San Mateo County deputy sheriff, and a resident of one of the streets with the greatest number olf speed violators on those Saturday afternoons, spoke favorably of his experience with the success of speed bumps by a little town in Illinois in curbing out-of-town speeders. “Speed bumps, how droll.” “What a dumb idea.” and other similar comments until the chair gavelled the meeting to order and other ideas were revealed as the meeting went on. In a short time the area was annexed to the City of Manlo Park with the promise that after the annexation a Menlo Park motorcycle policeman would stop the speeding. The annexation did result in the doubling of the real estate taxes for the subdivision, but it did not stop the speeding. On Friday, June 28, 1996, two weeks ago, this writer flew in to San Francisco on his way to a meeting in Palo Alto, and in his rental car decided to drive by his old home to see how, it had fared in the passing of years, hen he turned off the arterial road to his old street (these are 28 foot wide residential streets) at the first intersection there was a “traffic inhibitor” in place. This was a concrete mound in the center of the intersection that narrowed the intersection to one lane, making the passage of the intersection difficult and requiring the driver to slow down to negotiate the intersection. These mounds had flower pots on them, after all. this is California. Then, very plainly marked bv large signs at the curbs “SPEED BUMPS AHEAD” a few feet beyond the intersection was the first of the speed bumps, a humungous, curb to curb hump, that required almost a complete stop by the driver. Each block, including his old block, the 200. block of Chester Street, had Our Rappahannock Heritage r Rappahannock News StafF Photo by Cindy Mahan Hannah Morgan, Eliza Van Benren, Lauren Thornhill (on horse) and counselor Lea Pitkanen enjoy Pony Club Camp at Ashtree Stables last week. two of these monsters. It has been said that California is 25 years ahead of Virginia in everything involved with highways and traffic: road signs and markers; con-, struction of overpasses and underpasses and all that goes with the movement of vehicles. Can it be that some country bumpkins back in the 30’s in Illinois had stumbled upon an answer to speed control? Nah, speed bumps are a dumb idea, suitable for horses and buggies, and not for modern times. JESSE POND Sperryville Defending Strother To the Editor Judge Snead’s article entitled "Persecution Led to Religious Freedom" was most enlightening and enjoyable. 1 would like to see more articles in the Rappahannock News regarding historical events, especially since this is the 200th. birthday of the tow n of Washington. However in defense of my great, gr.. gr., gr„ gr., gr. grandfather, John Dabney Strother (1721 -17l>5), he simply fulfilled his duties as magistrate of the Crow n in I 768 when he had Jamie Ireland arrested for preaching. John Dabney Strother's life was one of patriotic service. He served as a Captain in the French and Indian War, as one of the Culpeper justices who signed the 1765 Stamp Act Protest and as a member of the Committee of Safety for Culpeper County in 1775. Since Captain Strother was an elderly man during the American Revolution, he made his contribution of guns, wagons, beef, com, grain, brandy and other rations. Furthermore, two of his sons and several of his son-in-laws were soldiers. The above information is documented with The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. I look forward to more articles from Judge Snead’s pen and to Rob Hewitt’s book “Seeds of Faith.” SUSAN W.

SCHMIDT 1 Chairman.'Rappahannock County Democratic Committee .i The Writer’s Art _ The Vice of Trying Too Hard In our business, the writing business, Sometimes we try too hard. The novelist comes down with adjectivitis, the preacher succumbs to bloviation, and the newspaperman tries his hand at purple prose. This is what 1 have in mind. Two years ago a sensational story came out of Knoxville about a married woman and a Tennessee editor. They plotted to kill her husband. A reporter for The Associated Press began his story: "A journalist, he wrote the wrenching story of her struggle to raise a daughter with Down syndrome. Now there’s more to the story. Police say they were lovers, and that he tried to kill her sleeping husband as she watched, a baseball bat in her hands.” So much for scrambled eggs. The trick for writing effectively about a human drama is not to get dramatic. Heart-wrenching stories will tell themselves. Some years ago a 91-year-old woman climbed Mount Fuji in Japan. The AP reporter described the event: “Mrs. Crooks stepped through a special gate marking the top of the sacred 12,385-foot dormant volcano at 3:45 a.m. as a pink sun rose over the horizon and waved an American flag tied to her walking stick.” Alas, in his effort to be colorful the writer wound up with a pink sun waving an American flag. It is not a trick you will see every day of the week. A movie critic in Florida, reviewing “White Squall,” tried too hard to say everything at once: “Tossing the script’s fibs overboard, the picture is more reliable as a male-bonding/rite-o('-passage adventure yarn, with the young hunks fating the challenges of the sea by peeling oil' their shirts under a- tropical sun and indulging in such primal pursuits as playing macho one-upsmanship diving oil the ship’s masts, making primiti\e guttural sounds during a deserted island spree, and building up pluck to spin a bottle for the favors of a Caribbean prostitute.” At some point in all that male bonding the paragraph came unglued. A sportswriter for The Washington Times gave his all in 1983; “OAK.MONT, Pa. — In the end, when the multitudinous voices that had railed against the strangling fairways and decried the carnivorous greens were long dispatched, discouraged or otherwise silenced, it was a putt destined for mythology that won the rain-interrupted 83d U.S. Open yesterday morning.” What happened at this event of mythological magnitude? Larry Nelson won. The putt went 62 feet. Even good novelists suffer from logorrhea. This is from Joseph Hellers’ “Closing Time”: “Standing at the open grave with Major Danby to the left of him and Major Major to the right, across the gaping hole in the red earth from a short enlisted man named Samuel Singer, who had been on the mission in the same place with the deceased, he could recall again with mortifying clarity how he had faltered with a shiver in his eulogy when he lifted his eyes toward the heavens and they fell instead on the figure in the tree, halted in midsentence as though stricken speechless for the moment with all breath sucked out of him.” Somebody should have halted Heller in the midst of that sentence. Novelist Evelyn Waugh died in 1992. The Chicago Tribune carried an obituary: “After what he construed as the dishonorable shambles of the British withdrawal from Crete under Herman attack, in which he pointlessly proved his own fearlessness under fire, he look an unpaid leave to write a novel (“Brideshead Revisited”) romantically bemoaning the England whose loss the war had marked by inaugurating the Age of the Common Man, to whom no one was more antipathetic than Waugh — probably because he was himself, as one of his aristocratic friends told him, nothing more socially than ‘a common little man . . . who happens to have written one or two" moderately amusing novels.’" There may be a place for royal purple prose, as in the matter of Nelson’s immortal putt, but I never have found where the place is. The" trouble with writing purple is that pur-, pie palls. It can’t be sustained for long.*.

SPORTS Basketball Camps Draw From Outside By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer And NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannok Neww Intent It was the perennial battle between the “shirts” and the “skins” as the Baltimore Boys Basketball Cmp wound down Friday morning, July 12, at the high school. About 30 boys came out for the camp. The younger ones worked separately from the older ones, but all improved during the week. By Friday morning several champions had been crowned. In one-onone competition Alfred Roberts was the champion in the older group, and Philip Thomas was the winner in the younger group. Ian Falk was the champion in three-point shooting, and Philip Thomas was the free throw champion among the younger players. The team of Philip Thomas, David Letsen, Tyler Hartman and Steven Rodden won the championship in a double elimination tournament for the younger group. Among the older campers the team of John Lacombe, Alfred Roberts, B.J.' Christian, Trey Smith and Mark Whorton came out on top. Camp ended with the “All Star” game. In fact, all the older players who wanted had an opportunity to challenge the coaches in a game. Coach Eugene Baltimore, Jason Gouchenour, Robbi Moose, Bill Cieslewski and camper Shaun Sloan took on all comers for 15 minutes the first half and 20 minutes the second. Even so they prevailed 87-72. He said he was pleased with the growth of the camp which attracted some campers from Front Royal and Manassas as well as Rappahannock County youth. “The kids worked hard all week,” he said, noting that some were tired by the end of it. “I hope it continues to grow.” Campers who had'to go home without trophies nevertheless received a pair of extremely baggy shorts with • “Baltimore B-Ball Camp” written on one leg. The next week, July 15-19, was girls’ basketball camp at the high school. Coach Eugene Baltimore ran that camp also. About 20 girls attended, most junior varsity age, but some varsity r players attended also. “I think it’s a lot of fun and you get to meet new people from other schools. As we’re having fun we’re still learning,” commented Rappahannock senior Dawn Havstad. Although a large majority of campers were locals like Dawn some other people came from Manassas Park High School, St. Johns High School, and Manassas City schools. Basketball player Laurie Baker from Osborne, where Coach Baltimore has worked before, felt that “It [camp] was good because he [Baltimore] ran us a lot. But at the same time we were having fun.” During the week campers participated in drills to improve ball handling, defense and shooting skills. Coach Baltimore explained that “each drill has a different skill.” Mellissa Whorton from Manassas Park summed it up by saying “I learned a lot and it’s really tiring,” which she thinks was a good thing.

► Planners From Page A-l that if the county does not go along with locations selected by the Postal Service, the post office might be moved to Culpeper County. However, apparently no one with property in Culpeper County applied this time when the Postal Service asked for ntfw bids. The application the planners turned down last Wednesday, which the Board of Zoning Appeals will consider this Thursday night, seems to be the only proposal the Postal Service received this time. The current Amissville Post Office has only 640 square feet and no modern loading dock. The Postal Service wants a 2,756 square foot building with expansion capabilities, a loading dock and more parking space. 1 “It’s not the right place for a post office,” said Dave Fannon, Jackson District representative on the planners. He sympathized with Mr. Jenkins. “If I was living across the street, I would not be happy with that.” Piedmont District representative Tom Junk agreed saying, “That’s a residential area. We should not put any more traffic on that road.” Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser said it would be difficult to turn down other applications for commercial uses on Route 645 if a post office was approved there. Mr. Fannon made the motion to recommend that the BZA deny the special use permit “because it doesn’t comply with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.” Chairman Mike Massie told the Jenkins family that the Planning Commission could only make a recommendation and that the Board of Zoning Appeals would make the final decision. s 3 t i I ) » u c » i f h' u e it r ii ► Court From Page A-l pulled his ghn out. When the others saw the gun, said Mr. Hickerson, they all jumped in the car and took off. “As they were pulling off, John Leake raised die gun in the air and fired,” said Mr. Hickerson, adding that there were a lot of people running around and screaming. Mr. Hickerson said the defendant rode on the windowsill of his car as they were heading down the mountain toward U.S. 522 and fired twice at the Kennedy car. The defendant said, “I think I hit someone. I heard someone scream,” said Mr. Hickerson. The bullet pierced the trunk of the Kennedy car and blew out the window. Mr. Hickerson said that he and Mr. Leake drove to Linden where the defendant hid the gun in some bushes. They then returned to the firehall in Chester Gap, went back for the gun,' wiped it off, and Mr. Hickerson admitted throwing it into a pond in Fauquier County. That rifle was later recovered by State Police divers and was admitted as evidence at the trial. Evidence showed that a casing found in the parking lot at the Chester Gap Firehall came from the defendant’s rifle. Mr. Luke argued that Mr. Leake had used the rifle in a deadly manner and had put the lives of people in peril. Mr. Leake’s attorney, Roy Bradley, said that his client was a young man out on a Saturday night looking for a good time, and that a group of young men from elsewhere had come along and picked a fight. Charles Carlson of Sperryville, who was in the Kennedy vehicle, testified that Mr. Leake had pulled a gun on him, after they had “gotten into it,” though he could not identify the vehicle the shot had come from when they were driving down the hill. Others testified that they had seen the defendant fire the rifle in the parking lot at the firehall. The defense did not put on any evidence for Mr. Leake, and he did not testify. The jury was told early in the trial that Mr. Leake had previously been convicted of two felonies, but they were not told until it was time to sen-1 tence him what he had been convicted of. He was convicted in February, 1993 of grand larceny and breaking into an automobile, and in September, 1993 of grand larceny and destruction of private property. Mr. Luke asked the jury to sen-v tence Mr. Leake not only to punish ^ him because of the deadly nature of his offenses, but also as a deterrent. Mr. Leake could have received a total sentence up to 28 years and fines up to $105,000, according to the sentencing range for the four felonies. ► Warner From Page A-l Warner is following on issues. “I’m going to say here’s where I stand and here’s what John Warner did,” he said. “The second reason I’m going to win is I want the job more, and I’m going to work harder,” he added saying in addition to visiting each of Virginia’s political jurisdictions before Labor Day, he will return to each of them in his first year in oflice. “People want a Senator who is going to be there.” Finally Mark Warner speaks of his understanding of the challenges facing the American economy as the technological revolution sweeps pver the world. “It will affect all parts of people’s lives. It won’t change slower if John Warner is elected or change faster , if I am elected. It’s coming.” He said, “I don’t think most of them [senators and congressmen] understand it, what it means to build a business, the challenges facing a middle class family.” He said it is important to make sure all parts of Virginia share in the information age, that there are no pockets, particularly in rural areas, that are left behind. “The kids have to be able to compete. We have to get high tech industries jn Southwest Virginia so they don’t have to go to Northern Virginia to get a job.” He noted that people are moving into Rappahannock County to get away from the “Northern Virginias of the world. The tools of technology allow them to telecommute. There are advantages and disadvantages to that, but speaking of family values, what could be more pro-family than letting working parents work at home.” He noted that is also good for the environment because it is “keeping the cars off the road.” He said the businesses that have done well are those which give decision-making power to those closest to the work. “Government is the last topdown organization around. We have to give local communities more authority and flexibility. After all now you can have as much information in Washington, Virginia, as in Washington, D.C.” He said a number of Republicans are supporting his campaign and many of the issues that concern him are neither Republican nor Democratic, liberal nor conservative. “If the voters go into the polls asking who is the best person to take me, my family and Virginia into the 21st century, I’m going to win.” ► Water From Page A-l less than that. There were also verbal reports on dry wells dug in tHe^area which were not developed. The company provided a map of fracture zones in the area. This indicates several short fracture zones but no major ones. Rainfall in the Sperryville area averages over 45 inches per year, which should mean a large potential for underground water, Mr. Rice said. But the underground rock is not porous and not heavily fractured, reducing the potential for high yield wells. According to the report: “High yield wells could almost certainly be located and developed in the study jgea, but large withdrawals could produce significant, widespread impacts to water levels in wells tapping the same portion of the local fracture network. In a worst-case scenario, a major pumping well could produce drawdown such that nearby wells i l; Dear Agricultural Producers & Horse Owners i ffcCO-OP EXPO *96 Thursday, August 1,19% - 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Location: Culpeper Farmers' Cooperative Business Rt 29 North of Culpeper, VA EVENTS: * Dairy Tent PLUS MORE: jack Russell Terrier Races Beef Breeds on display - Dairy Cattle exhibit with milk and cheese provided by Maryland-Virginia Milk Co-op, Mid-America Co-op and Shenandoah's Pride.

It was interesting. We learned a lot about the area.” He said the rainfall in the area is the “reason streams flow year round. They are fed by the groundwater base.” Current withdrawal in wells is “a small percentage of the groundwater available,” he said. Particularly in the center of the village there is little soil over the bedrock and the bedrock is not frac‘ tured much, he added. The well with a reported 60-galIon per minute flow is on land owned by the Clifford Miller family. Piedmont District representative Tom Junk said he doubted that any well in the county produces that much water. Mr. Rice replied that the report was based on information provided by the well drillers. In general, his report suggested wells drilled downstream from the heart of Sperryville had more potential for high yield than those closer to the mountains. Mr. Junk said Mr. Rice’s report seemed to be supporting a proposal to develop the Miller property. “How many housing units could that area take?” he asked. Mr. Rice said that “depends on how much you are willing to impact the stream during dry times. There is no clear cut answer.” . County Administrator > John McCarthy said the study shows there is “a finite amount without impacting the. stream flow or existing wells....I don’t think we could have asked for better support for the requirement for hydrogeologic testing in our subdivision ordinance.” Mr. Rice promised the planners a one-page executive summary of the report. He also agreed to submit a proposal for further testing of water levels in some of the wells in Sperryville over a six-month period. — By SHARON KILPATRICK Shearing Time l Photo courtesy of the Virginia Christmas Tree Growers Association • - Tom O’Ha 11 or an of Glengary Christmas Tree Farm in Viewtown prunes a seven-year old Scotch pine by • hand in.preparation for this season’s sales. ► Wolf •1 • From Page A-l then Speaker' of the House of Representatives, Rep. Wolf does not believe Speaker Gingrich will prove a handicap to continued Republican control of the Congress. He said that most voters are more interested in what their Congressman can do for them, and he sees his role as a Republican congressman who seeks to work with both parties and do what he can for his district as insulating him from voter backlash against the Republican Congress. With Republicans in the majority, Rep. Wolf became head of the transportation subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee. Last year, he said, the transportation appropriation was approved early and the Department of Transportation was not part of the government shutdown. He said he also succeeded in getting the appropriation approved without the pork barrel highway “demonstration projects” that had in the past been part of the appropriation process under Democratic Party leadership. This year his transportation appropriation passed the House on a 403 to 2 vote. He said he worked hard to get a bi-partisan consensus for the bill. Rep. Wolf said he has not voted in lockstep with the Republican leadership and, in fact, has opposed the leadership 17 times on environmental issues. Rep. Wolf also reported that he wants to host another 10th District con* ference on drugNise among teens.

The only merger-related changes customers will see are expanded Blue Ridge services, said Blue Ridge cofounder Joseph Chopek. “We are extremely enthusiastic about this merger, as we feel this will allow Blue Ridge to greatly expand the range of service offerings, enhance our product line, and broaden our scope of operations through our new affiliation with Network Long Distance,” said his wife and cofounder Margaret Chopek. “Considering the fact that there are more than 950 separate and inde pendent long distance companies operating across the U.S., compared to ,only a handful when Blue Ridge and Network Long Distance started in this business, it has become obvious to most industry observers that we are about to enter an era of unprecedented industry consolidation in this business, and the survivors will be those who join forces and consolidate resources with other, like-minded, customer service-oriented providers,” she said. “That is what made Network such a perfect, synergistic fit for a partnership that will help us reach the next stage in the ongoing development of Blue Ridge Telephone.” Mrs. Chopek said that the high Grass Waterways Stop Runoff By JOHN JEFFRIES Natural Resources Couservatlea Service A grassed waterway is one several methods of helping to control erosion. This practice applies to areas where there are natural drainageways or low areas in the land. “One way to keep land from eroding into a gully and preventing damage to equipment is to keep those problem areas in grass,” states John Jeffries of the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Run-off from hills that is spreading over the land and causing erosion and making it difficult to work could be funneled into a grass waterway. One of the best ways to remove the water would be to construct or use the natural drainageways to handle the required run-off for that particular site. Most waterways are built to be one foot to two feet deep and 30 feet wide allowing the flow of water to concentrate into one spot. At the outlet the run-off is safely removed from the field without causing any erosion problems. After the excavation, these areas should be seeded with 60 pounds of Kentucky 31 fescue and acre, lime and fertilize and also mulch with straw or hay to help ensure a good stand. technology Network brings to-the table will enable Blue Ridge to offer' expanded services to its customers. . The Chopeks, as well as Network founder, president and CEO Michael W. Ross, will continue to work for the new venture. “There are some obvious and beneficial synergies between the two i companies, as Blue Ridge, like Network, is peopled by a quality staff of technical and traffic engineeringoriented professionals, and the company has been operated, like Network^ as a switch-based interexchange carrier, rather than as simply a marketing and resale organization, which is the case with so many of the other smaller firms in this business,” said Mr. Ross. The shareholders of Blue Ridge have exchanged their stake in the company for shares of Network’s publicly traded common stock. Locally owned and operated, Blue „ Ridge Telephone provides service to Rappahannock, Warrenton, Leesburg, Middleburg, Culpeper, Front Royal, Winchester, Luray and Fredericksburg and has been in business for more than 10 years. Network is one of the oldest active participants in the alternative long distance business.

He. has made a major change in his . architecturalwork, going from designing . office buildings in Washington, ; ' H-C. and working as a “conservator of the fabric” at the National Cathedral to designing woodland homes, cabins and bams. The architectural firm which Mr Tepper partnered with Tony Segreti ir Vienna closed on April 30 so that he could spend more time ir Rappahannock. The Teppers moved here full-time four years ago. For ten years, the Teppers were weekenders in Rappahannock. They first built a tiny cabin on their land in Castleton. Before that cabin in the woods was finished enough for them to stay in overnight, they would come out on Photo courtesy of Tom Tepper A cathedral ceiling extends from the living room to the kitchen in the Teppers’ home in Castleton. Festival Honors Black History The Sixth Annual AfricanAmerican Cultural Arts Festival will be held from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 3, on the grounds of the historic Jennie Dean School in Manassas. The program will feature a special tribute to the graduates of the historic Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth (and for anyone who attended the school). The ‘96 Festival will feature fami ly entertainment, cultural displays, food, ethnic vendors, a health expo, a business expo, games and fellowship. There will be a hair fashion show and an African fashion show, popular bands and gospel music. The festival is free and open to the public. Those attending are requested to donate a canned food item to be given to the Oak Shade Baptist Church food closet where the Rev. Jessie Jones is the pastor. Natural Materials in Show ■ • Middle Street Gallery will be presenting an exciting show entitled “Of the Land — By the Hand” beginning Aug. 2 and running until Aug. 25. !' This show will feature fine art created' from wood and fiber including “one-of-a-kind” designed furniture, wood relief carvings, turned wooden vessels, wood sculptures, beautiful hand-made papers and books. This exhibit will delight the viewer’s eye with fine arts created with the richness of natural materials. Artists from West Virginia, Texas, fllipois, North Carolina, and Virginia are entered in this show. Michael David Pitts and Margaret W. Pitts, noted artists and educators from Watkinsville, Georgia, will judge the art works and present awards for the top three pieces. Middle Street Gallery is an artistrun, non-profit gallery, located next to the Inn in “Little” Washington.

Registration will -be on a first come/first serve basis, ‘.rhefe is space for 40 children. ' • The Children’s Theatre in the Field will take place at the amphithe* atre at the Windmore Cultural Centre, 8060 Sperryville Pike, Culpeper. The program will introduce the children to all aspects of the theatre with the culmination being two performances of a musical. The two week program of Children’s Theatre in the Field will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. starting on Monday, July 29, through Saturday, Aug. 10. Performances will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10 and at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 5. Saturday morning, work on the cabin all day, and return to the city at night. That routine would be repeated on Sunday, and every weekend that weather permitted, until the cabin was finished. The cabin took three years to complete, and the Teppers had to carry everything down a hillside to get to the building site. He advises, “If anyone is going to build a cabin make sure you do it downhill.” He calls the cabin, which is just 12 feet by 12 feet, a “wooden tent,” and it is his favorite architectural accomplishment. The single room, which sports a bed, woodstove, a couple of chairs, and cooking area (using a Coleman stove), is just big enough for two to share comfortably. Extra chairs and other items hang from the walls, conserving space. There is also a loft. When the Teppers have visitors now, they most often prefer to stay in the cabin instead of one of the Teppers’ guest rooms in the house, even though it is without electricity or running water. The cabin does, however, have a screened-in porch now which doubles the size of the cabin. Mr. Tepper feels it is probably the perfect place for writing, as peaceful as it is. Mr. Tepper believes in building small, saying “Build as much as you need but keep it small.” His own house, which he designed with input from his wife, has 18 foot cathedral ceilings in the living room and kitchen, and has an abundance of windows, including skylights and other windows near the ceilings. He is a firm believer in solar heat. He used douglas fir in the modir---—- r---— heavy timbers of the cathedral ceiling. Castleton woodworker Philip Strange built the wooden mantel and bathroom cabinets, and the Teppers are really pleased with his work. A red bam built on the property serves as Mr. Tepper’s architectural office; though he closed his office in Vienna, he is hoping to find more work in Rappahannock. In his spare time he also works on making custom mailboxes and cedar root lamps. Longtime friends Jim and Joan Gannon live in a house designed by Mr. Tepper; they share part of their driveway and live close enough that they can walk to each other’s houses. It is also close enough that their dogs can visit each other often too. Mr. Gannon said that he and his wife had a vague idea of what they wanted in a house and that Mr. Tepper turned it- into a workable plan. Mr. Gannon, a writer, said that he knew he wanted a library with a fireplace and a palladium window. “We wanted a house that would fit into the country,” he said, adding that they wanted to leave the land as natural as possible surrounding the house. “That is a super client,” said Mr. Tepper. Two huge white oak trees dominate the backyard of the Gannons, with branches that spread almost to where the deck on the house begins. Large white oak timbers frame the ceiling in the living room though they were not cut on the property. The Gannons did have some maple cut on the property to use for the walls of the library. “It is great to have a reverence for nature and he has it,” said Mr. Tepper about his friend Mr. Gannon.

Rappahannock Artists Win Seven Grants From State Commission of the Arts Rappahannock County is known for its agriculture productivity, the beauty of its land and a high concentration of artists. The Virginia Commission of the Arts has recognized excellence in the arts in Rappahannock by awarding seven grants in the county. These include an operational grant . to RAAC (the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community). Ki Theater received a grant to tour “My Family Album” written and performed by Julie Portman with music by Paul Reisler. Reisler’s Trapezoid also received a touring grant. Laurie Marshall and the Song Sweepers will perform “Stories from the Dust in the Comer’ throughout the state on another touring grant. Sharon Wyrrick/Full Circle Theater received two Technical Assistance Grants, one to attend a multi-media seminar in Dance Documentation at Ohio State University and one to participate in the National Festival of the Image in Manizales, Colombia. Finally, Rappahannock County High School received an Artist-inEducation grant for Laurie Marshall to create a portable mural and performance piece with the students centering on conflict resolution skills. The project is part of RCHS’ first year of peer mediation training. Cameroon Dancer Paul Kengmo, Julie Portman and Sharon Wyrrick will also consult on this venture. The students’ work will be a part of the 19$7 International Conference on Conflict Resolution in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Caribbean Festival Coming The popular Pan Masters Steel Orchestra returns with the annual Caribbean Festival to Culpeper and Warrenton in the Bluemont Concert Series this weekend. The Warrenton concert is 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 27, at the Warren Green. In case of rain the concert will be held in the Warrenton Middle School auditorium. The Culpeper concert will be at 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 28, on the green of the pld Culpeper Courthouse. In case of rain the concert will move to the Culpeper High School auditorium. Homemade refreshments will be available at both concerts to benefit local non-profit organizations. The cost of the concert is $3 per person. The Pan Masters from the Trinidad and Tobago Islands bring an evening of Caribbean sights and sounds with music and dancing for everyone. Their music has evolved from 50 years of Carnival and can include traditional island calypso, reggae and soca including their interpretations of Stevie Wonder, the Beatles and J.S. Bach. The featured instrument is the Pan, a unique Caribbean steel drum instrument transformed by master craftsmen Irom 55-gallon oil drums. The Pan Masters perform on more than 30 pans producing a lull range “orchestra” sound. The melodies evoke the sounds of the islands, the percussion “kitchen” providing strong rhythms to create one of Bluemont’s most colorful and popular concerts of the season. Concert-goers are encouraged to dress in island attire.

Birding Club Protects Species By HELEN SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics The 4-H Birding Club held its end-of-the-year family picnic and pool party on Saturday, June 15 at the home of the Robertsons in Viewtown. For their program, 4-H members and families played the Birding Game. The 4-H Birding Club reports that their sale of bluebird houses at Earth Day on April 20 was a successful project. ,The club has made donations totaling $180 to support endangered species. Donations include $75 to “adopt” a goose at Airlie, $20 to a saw-whet owl, $35 to a broad-winged hawk, and $50 to support a ba’ld eagle at the Wildlife Center of Virginia. The 4-H Birding Club members constructed the birdhouses at a workshop in March and then sold them on April 20 at the Earth Day Observance at Ben Venue Farm. There are still a few birdhouses leftover in the Extension Office window on Gay Street reduced to half price which is $5. The display of birdhouses has proved profitable, too. One day a tourist from Massachusetts walking on Gay Street saw the birdhouses and inquired about them. Upon learning about the 4-H project, she purchased one to take home.

Funeral services were conducted on Tuesday, July 16 at Mt. Comfort Cemetery in Arlington. Col. C. Cawthon Retired U.S. Army Colonel Charles Cawthon, one-time editor of the Murfreesboro, Tenn., Daily NewsJournal and the Charlottesville, Va., Daily Progress, died Thursday, July 11 at his country home in Woodville. He resided at Goodwin House, a retirement home in Alexandria. Col. Cawthon, 84, was stricken with a heart attack at his country home and taken to Culpeper Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Son of the late Charles and Mrs. Sally 'Mai Tuely Cawthon of Murfreesboro, the former newsman and soldier was graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 1934. He then worked as a newspaperman until 1940 when he enlisted in the Virginia National Guard. During World War II, he served with the 2nd Battalion. 116th Infantry Regiment, a part of the famous 29th Infantry Division, made up of elements from Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. The 116th traces its origins to the colonial militia and a brigade which fought under the command of Confederate General Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson during the Civil War. Commanded an infantry company during the bloody fighting from Omaha Beach, Normandy, on D-Day, June 6, 1944, through the hedgerows inland. He suffered two shrapnel wounds in the face. “I still got a piece of metal in my check,” he told a interviewer on a return from a visit to the Normandy beaches in 1994. Later he took part in the battles of St Lo, Vire and Brest in France and in Aachen, Germany, where he was wounded for a second time. He remained in the Army after the war and in the Korean War commanded a battalion of the 31st Infantry Regiment 7th Infantry Division. His decorations for service in both wars include the Silver Star, Bronze Star with cluster, Purple Heart with two clusters and the Combat Infantry Badge. Post-war assignments include NATO staff duty in France from 1956 to 1960 and with the Office of the Army Chief of Staff at the Pentagon from 1961 to 1964 when he retired from active duty.

Local Peaches Ready for Picking I got my first peaches of the season from a local orchard this week. They were a white-fleshed peach. Other varieties should be ready soon. When picking peaches, look for a creamy yellow to gold back-ground color at the stem end which indicates eating quality fruit. Since the red blush on peaches will vary by variety, remember to look for that creamy back-ground color. How Many Peaches? When estimating how many peaches to pick or purchase, remember that one bushel equals 48 pounds or 18-24 quarts. One pound of peaches equals two medium-size peaches, 2 cups sliced peaches or 1 cup pulp. Eight medium peaches equals approximately 5 cups sliced, enough for one pie. Here are some recipes to enjoy our 1996 local peach crop.
