Sophie Cummings was driving a 1995 Kawasaki on U.S. 211 in Sperryville, .8 mile west of Route 667, when she lost control on a curve, ran off the road to the left, struck a guardrail, overturned and was thrown from her bike, according to the accident report filed by State Trooper Wayne Sumner. She was wearing a helmet. She was pronounced dead at the scene. A serious one car accident on the afternoon of Dec. 27 sent a back seat passenger to the hospital With a broken back. Melissa Pullen, 18, of Rixey ville, was driving > a 1996 2-door Ford on Route 729 in Amissville, . .3 mile north of Route 676, when she ran off the right side of the road and overturned. Her mother, 36-year-old Elizabeth Pullen, was riding in the passenger seat, and 20-year-old Jennifer Beacher was a passenger in the right rear seat. Ms. Beacher was thrown out the back window as a result of the accident. She was not wearing a seat belt. State Trooper M.C. Woodard, who is investigating the accident, said Ms. Beacher sustained a broken back and facial lacerations; she was transported by helicopter to Fairfax Hospital. Trooper Woodard said that Elizabeth Pullen told him, days after the accident, that she had pulled up on the emergency brake while her daughter was driving, and that caused the accident. The original reason given for the accident was that the driver had swerved to avoid hitting a rabbit. Melissa Pullen was charged with reckless driving and not wearing a seat belt. Elizabeth Pullen was the only one wearing a seat belt; possible charges are pending against her. She and her daughter were treated at a hospital and released. The car sustained $10,000 damage and was a total loss. .. v Following an early morning accident on Jan. 1 on Route 602 in Sperryville, .2 mile west of Route 707, Willie Nichols Jr., 36, of Boston, was charged with reckless driving.

Jay Katzen, R,31st District, is working hard at helping out his current constituents in the upcoming session of the General Assembly while continuing to run a statewide campaign for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor. He will be facing the people in a party primary next June. There are two other candidates for the nomination, Coleman Andrews and John Hager. Del, Katzen notes that Mr. Andrews, particularly, has the advantage of early endorsements from party chairman throughout the state, but many of those people made those commitments two years ago, before Del. Katzen entered the race. "We're going after the people who are not party chairmen," he said. "We welcome all Republicans, independents and Democrats." Del. Katzen said he has a local organization in nearly every county and city in the state. "They are working their hearts out," he said. "We are running the kind of campaign statewide that I ran in the district." He said contributions, mostly small ones, are coming in nicely, and he has a professional staff. He has asked his campaign workers not even to tell him where the contributions are coming from until after the current See Katzen, Page 3 Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick Del. Jay Katzen visited with Sheriff Gary Settle and Hunt Harris at the library last Friday morning. Officers Reelected By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahumock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors moved quickly through a long agenda with little or no controversy Monday in the first meeting of the new year. With no opposition Wakefield District representative Hubert Gilkey was reelected chairman; Piedmont District representative Charles K. "Pete" Estes was reelected vice chairman; Hampton District representative Mike Massie was again selected as the supervisors' representative to the Planning Commission, and Jackson District representative Ron Frazier was selected to represent the board on the Planning District Commission. The board voted to adopt the sixyear secondary road improvement plan. Warrenton Resident Engineer Robert Moore said they could expect five to seven Of the top priority items on the plan to be completed in 199798 fiscal year. * The supervisors voted to support Loudoun County in its request to have VDOT. allowed to pave secondary roads without widening them. VDOT has claimed that it would be liable if accidents happen on a road that had been improved without bringing it up to standards for safety. This proposal would give VDOT immunity from liability for this practice. Mr. Estes said he could support "pave in place" policies, providing the supervisors had authority to approve each instance where that policy was followed. The supervisors agreed to hold a public hearing oq,lh6 text of the revised Comprehensive Plan in February with final approval of die document delayed until summer when County Administrator John McCarthy will have time to prepare maps and other graphics to go with it.

The ASA is intended to address the issue of water pollution caused by agricultural activities. Anyone can make a complaint that an agricultural activity is causing water pollution, and the act provides a mechanism to investigate the complaint. A farmer could be forced to adopt a stewardship plan that includes implementing best management practices to eliminate the pollution. Either the local Soil and Water Conservation District or the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services would investigate complaints. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. Agriculture Agent Kenner Love urges all farmers to attend and find out about the implications of this act for their farming practices. ► Supervisors From Page 1 oppose a proposal by Bell Atlantic that would allow them to use publicly owned rights of way without compensating the government that owned them. Mr. McCarthy said this would have little effect in Rappahannock County. Stonewall-Hawthom District __ representative Robert Anderson noted that Bell Atlantic has not been cooperative with Rappahannock County in implementing E-911.

History of Baptist Church Published By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer When retired Judge Rayner V. Snead set out to record the history of Washington Baptist Church, he found he had undertaken more than he had planned. So he turned the project over to his son-in-law Rob Hewitt, a fulltime writer, the husband of his daughter Libby and father of five of his and Lois Snead's grandchildren. Working with church records, the Rappahannock Historical Society, the Culpeper Library, and the Virginia State Library and Archives, Mr. Hewitt produced a 174-page book, Seeds of Faith: Growing a Church in the Blue Ridge Mountains, published .at the end of 1996. It records more than the history of the local church itself. Starting with the efforts of Baptists to practice their faith in the face of thosd determined to hold onto power in the name of the established Anglican Church in Virginia, Mr. Hewitt traces the history of Baptist congregations in the entire area, the preachers who faced jail for their faith, the coming of religious liberty to Virginia, the building of various Baptist churches in what became Rappahannock County, and the construction of the current church building in cooperation with the Masons as a mission of This handsome little book makes for interesting reading. Of particular interest for this reader is the history of a period in this century when after struggling for the right to worship separately, the Baptists, Episcopalians and Methodists in the Town of Washington found themselves needing to worship together if they wanted regular services. None of these congregations could support a full-time minister. They worked out an arrangement by which services were held in the Baptist church two Sundays per month, in the Episcopal church two Sundays a month and in the Methodist church whenever a month had five Sundays. Furthermore the choir was a joint effort including members of all three congregations who traveled to wherever services were being held on a particular Sunday. Fortunately this ecumenical spirit still prevails in the town and county as congregations from various denominations unite for vacation Bible schools, Lenten programs and Thanksgiving services. VDOT Makes Changes VDOT announced two changes in traffic patterns starting this week. An additional STOP sign has been installed at the intersection of Main and Middle streets in Washington, making that intersection a four-way stop. This change \vas requested by Town Council, and Bob Moore, Warrenton resident engineer, said the situation justified the change. Mr. Moore emphasized that VDOT does not create a four-w^stop under most situations, however, it is appropriate "for this particular location with the activities by pedestrians and traffic in close proximity." Also beginning this Wednesday, Jan. 8, a STOP sign will be in place on Route 641 north, the Aileen Road, at its intersection with Route 606, the Fodderstack Road, west of Flint Hill. The YIELD signs currently located on Route 606 at this intersection will be removed in 30 days. Though justified by traffic counts, requests for this change in pattern had been denied earlier due to limited sight distance at the Route 641 north approach. This hazard has been eliminated by the removal of tree limbs near that location. The "New Traffic Pattern" signs will be removed in approximately 60 days. According to VDOT, this gradual change was designed to allow time for local motorists to become accustomed to the new pattern. VDOT crews also began work Monday on painting center and side lines on the newly paved sections of Business 211 in Washington.

Another BB gun incident was reported last Sunday after a BB went through a window at the Wirth residence in Slate Mills. The matter is undv investigation and two juveniles are possible suspects. On Dec. 29, Charlie Coombs of Route 618 in Castleton called in to report that his mailbox had been blown up. Sheriff Settle said that it appeared that someone had put a cherry bomb in Mr. Coombs's mailbox. Mr. Hugh Sinnott of Flint Hill said that on Dec. 30 someone vandalized many of his outdoor Christmas lights by pulling them off of trees. The lights were found on U.S. 522.

Del. Katzen met-with Rappahannock 'Voters-^in the county library Friday morning. A group of five people asked for his help in getting their bills from the Sperryville sewer system lowered. Ruth Kiger, Rachel Aylor, Dorothy Butler, Carl Menefee and Henry Townes said they could not afford the increase from $21.50 per month to $28.50 for each EDU (equivalent to a dwelling unit). Mrs. Kiger said one of her senior clients is living in a house with a granddaughter and is charged for two EDUs. She said the woman had to have her telephone disconnected to pay her bills. Del. Katzen said he had informed Water and Sewer Authority treasurer Carson Johnson that grants from the state could be available to Sperryville to lower the bills being charged, but he had not received the information from Mr. Johnson he needs to go after the grant money. Del. Katzen also met with School Superintendent David Gangel and parent Page Johanson about funds for the schools in the upcoming state budget. Del. Katzen said he would try to get more funds for Rappahannock County, but he will need to know where the extra funds last year went and what the needs are for the coming year. Dr. Gangel said he would get the information Del. Katzen asked for, but the funds went into the general operating budget. Del. Katzen said it will not be easy for him to get additional funds from a legislature controlled by the other party, but he believes he can get some h&lp for the county’s school children. < He asked Dr. Gangel and Mrs. Johanson to support his bill to study the fggrnula used to determine each locality?&bility to pay for education. He said the bill was quickly killed in the last session, but he intends to introduce it again. He said the commission he worked with on funding had 15 suggestions for ways the formula could be altered to more accurately reflect the true wealth of a locality, but his suggestion did not get serious consideration. Sheriff Gary Settle asked about a proposal to require drug testing for jail inmates. Del. Katzen said he did not know if that would be applied to jails as small as Rappahannock's. Sheriff Settle said he was concerned that the cost of such testing not be pushed off onto the county. Hunt Harris told Del. Katzen there would be a clean up effort this spring in the Nethers area similar to .the one at Chester Gap last spring. He said he would also be conducting a series of hikes in the headwaters of each tributary of the Rappahannock River the second Saturday of each month starting with White Oak Canyon in January.

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 photojoumahstic 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." Street Shoulders After more than a year of talking about providing the Town of Washington with new road surfaces, VDOT finally got the job done this past summer. The delay was not really VDOT's responsibility. The town kept adding replacement lines to its water system, and VDOT waited for that process to be completed. However, the new road surface, when finally installed, was in places six inches higher than it had been and higher than the shoulders. In a few places shoulders have been provided with tan-colored gravel to the level of the new road, but there are more places where nothing has been done to even out the shoulder with road surface. This is a hazardous situation which VDOT should correct soon. General Assembly Meets ! (Translated how many legislators does it take to screw up our lives?)

Letters to the Editor Cancer Unit Works Hard To the Editor: • As a member of the American Cancer Soceity Board, Rappahannock Unit and secretary, I want to thank the Rappahannock News for printing the news concerning Ester Settle's award as our Volunteer of the Year. It may surprise people to know that the award is not automatically given just because a unit has nominated someone. The American Cancer Society has a rigorous set of guidelines which must be met in order for the award to be given. Our unit takes great pride in having won the award two years in a row, in 1995 with Carole Miller and this year with Ester Settle. Moreover, our unit has again been awarded a plaque citing us for our fund raising. Our 1996 efforts were rewarded with a total of $21,327 raised by this unit alone. We stand about seventh in the state in per capita fund raising. Our two big fund raisers, the Relay For Life and the luncheon held in September, were enormously successful in 1996. Rappahannock County sent 11 teams to the Relay For Life and raised over $10,000 in that 24-hour period at Airlie. Now there may be some who think we are doing this in conjunction with another county. Not so, we are our own unit and the money we raise comes back to us to support other programs. We are in the midst of launching two new programs coordinated by members of the board. One is skin cancer awareness (Carole Miller and Helen Brown are heading that), and the other is called "Me Too" and is a program for men concerning prostrate cancer. This will be coordinated by John Hartline who is finishing his own treatment for prostrate cancer. Our old standbys, Breast Cancer Awareness and the Great American Smokeout are still with us. Ester Settle 7 is the person with the most knowledge, of the breast cancer programs and is our coordinator for the Relay For Life. Our new president, Paige Coombs, is determined to bring more members onto the board. That is because it is the board that does the work. We are not a planning commission who then looks for others to do the work. We are the workers. For those who remember the old days and the doptUo door collector, it may surprise diem to know how much we do. In March wbvwill begin the push for the Relay For Life which will be May 30-31 at Airlie. That is such grand place to have it, as all the unify can get together and have a party. Also, the venue is lovely. Also in March, I will begin a newsletter to send to doctors and churches. We hope to get our message out. We want people to known that we have a support group for breast cancer patients or we will drive them to the hospital for treatment. As a 40-year survivor of cancer, 1 feel this most deeply. At 19,1 was immortal and then I was not. There were no support groups, just Mom and Dad which was fine. But I was in college and sometimes it was hard to handle. Well, we want people to know that they are not alone if they want help. The more people know, the more lives we will save. MARILOUISE K. BANE Sperryville Oppose SB592 To the Editor: This is in response to the John Marocchi letter Dec. 25 concerning SB592. He would have you support a new state lavM^bverride local control over forestry activities and make forestry regulation uniform. Further he feels that county governments should regulate only for public health and safety and not for visual impact. Wow! Upside-down or inside-out? 1. Visual impact is what distinguishes Rappahannock County from all others east of the mountains. 2. He shows a blatent contempt for the very values that keep and attract folks here. 3. Democracy begins at the local level. We have lost many freedoms by elevating lawmaking to the state or federal levels. (USSR ?) 4. Visual impact is properly our local responsiability. General Assembly members from Fairfax or Virginia Beach should not determine our future. 5. Forestry practices in Rappahannock are not regulated locally. Best management practices are merely encouraged rather than required. 6. Rappahannock may well consider restricting timber harvest to mature trees rather than clear-cutting on our highly visible slopes. 7. SB592 is for developers who want to clear-cut and call it agricultural production. Ask Sen. Miller and Del. Katzen to vote against SB592. PHIL IRWIN Flint Hill A Sign Of Grace To the Editor: Those of us out and about at dawn, on Christmas Eve morning were privileged to witness an extraordinary rainbow arcing briefly from one end of the county to another. Iris, the Greek goddess of the rainbow, represents that part of us which yearns to connect the earthly and the spiritual planes. A greater sign of God's grace and abundance could hardly be imagined, as it appeared to us at the dawning of Christmas. DENISE HORTON LAURA LEE SKAUGE Washington Amissville Community Thanked To the Editor: What a joy it is to be a part of the Amissville community. It really showed what Christmas is all about by all the generous donations of food and money. Food boxes were filled, fruit baskets prepared, and flowers were purchased to be distributed to the less fortunate, elderly, and shut-ins. Seventy homes and area residents in nursing homes were visited. This was, as always, a joint effort by the Amissville Ruritan Club, the United Methodist Church and the United Methodist Women, the Baptist Church and the Bethel Baptist Church. They wish to thank everyone for their donations and the folks who took the time to deliver these gifts. Also a special thanks to the Brownie Troop # 632 of the Skyline Girl Scout Council, Lombardy Restaurant, and the Amissville Health and Fitness Group for collecting such a large amount of food. All or you are responsible for making this a Merry Christmas for so many people. God Bless you all. DOROTHY HACKLEY, CHARLIE PRIEST, JANET MAKELA, and NANCY NICHOLAS Coordinators Community Thanked To the Editor On behalf of the board and staff of the Rappahannock County Department of Social Services, I would like to thank everyone who donated money, clothing, toys and food to provide a festive Christmas to our less fortunate citizens. Every year we are touched by the generosity and kindness of this community as they go all out to help others. Obviously, I cannot name all the individuals who came forward, for there were many of them, but many thanks to all of you. Also, many thanks to the Rappahannock Lions Club, Amissville Free Gospel Church, Trinity Episcopal Church and women's group, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Wakefield Country Day School at Huntly, and the Rappahannock County High School. Your gifts touched the lives of many families, elderly citizens, and children and made their lives more pleasant during the holidays. Not only were they able to enjoy the material gifts of the season but also the joy of feeling compassion and kindness from the community of which they are a part. It is also very gratifying to our staff to see the community support our work in such an enthusiastic manner. Again, thanks for your kindness and warmest wishes for the New year. BEVERLY D.

Volleyballers 2nd in Tourney By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The boys’ varsity basketball team was not the only RCHS team having a successful holiday tournament. The girls’ varsity volleyball team traveled to Madison County last Monday, Dec. 30, and came in second in an eightteam tournament, losing to William Monroe, a likely candidate for the state championship, according to volleyball Coach Laura Conklin. The team faced William Monroe first and the girls were not yet ready to play, Coach Conklin said. They lost 15-9 and 15-8. Then they faced Orange County and won 15-6 and 15-5. Next up was Bull Run District rival Brentsville. RCHS won 15-7 and 17-15. Coach Conklin said that was an "impressive win” because Katy Paratore became sick that game and Sarah Gentry and Courtney Mauro had to take on her job of setting the ball. Finally the Panther squad faced William Monroe again. They lost the first game 15-5 but roared back and won the second 15-2. In the third and decisive game William Monroe prevailed 15-10. Although the only wins for the team so far this season have been in tournaments. Coach Conklin noted that "all the games have been close really." She said, "This is the strongest year we've ever had in volleyball. The girls are looking at a district title. We can do it if they keep their heads in it. If they slack off, they won't make it." She noted that with only seven girls on the team each one is critical. "I need all seven of them. They all have a job to do and I depend on them.” Katy Paratore and Fran Overdorf normally take on the role of setters. Courtney Mauro, Nancie Gallegos, Sarah Gentry, Angela Atkins and Kiersten Kerr are the hitters. "Kiersten is the most improved," Coach Conklin said. "She only learned to play the game last year. She has an overhand serve she can depend on. She spikes and dives for balls." Coach Conklin hopes the volleyball teams have finally found the formula for winning. The JV is having a very good year, and in the new fourmember Bull Run District, Rappahannock County seems to be the team to beat at the varsity level. SUBSCRIBE TO THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS.

WERE FIGHTING FOR MDURUFE American Heart Association Thu y»c« provided u » public same* Varsity, JV Each Add Win By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Panther boys’ basketball teams gave their fans plenty of excitement at the Luray High School gym Friday night and again at home Tuesday. The varsity came away with a win in overtime, at Luray while the JV lost. Then TUesday the JV defeated Strasburg at home while the varsity lost. Rappahannock got the early lead in the varsity game at Luray and had a 19-13 margin at the end of the first quarter. The Panthers held onto the lead in the second quarter and were ahead 35-28 at half time. Luray came out strong in the second half narrowing the margin and trailed only 55-53 at the end of the third quarter. Lura^ took its first lead since the start ol| play with 7:27 left in the fourth quarter, and no team had a decided margin after that. At the end of regulation time the score was tied 69-69. \ In^he four minute overtime, again thMead went back and forth. The Panthers led 77-75 with 20 seconds left, but Luray evened the score. Rappahannock won 79-77 in a nailbiting finale. Jeff Atkins showed senior leadership throughout, making crucial layups and free throws. Coach Eugene Baltimore said Luray "has some talented kids. They are a young team, and they play hard. They showed that Friday night. I expected that from them, but they shouldn't have done as well as they did. We didn't play well defensively. We didn’t cut off their driving lanes, didn't talk on picks, and didn't rebound. "One thing I was happy about is we were down by six points with 3:30 left, but the kids didn't quit. They fought back. That shows a maturing team." Jeff Atkins led the scoring with 29 points. Daniel Settle added 18. "Tommy Settle really played well," Coach Baltimore said. "He made some big plays down the stretch and scored the game-winning basket. The game could have gone either way. It's good to get a win on the road.” In Tuesday night's game with Strasburg neither team was able to get a decided advantage and the lead switched over and over. Strasburg led 12-11 at the end of the first quarter, but the half ended in a 25-25 tie. The Panthers were up 41-38 at the end of the third quarter and enjoyed a brief seven-point lead 45-38 in the fourth, but the Rams fought back tying the score at 53 before getting the final bucket and a 55-53 win. "Two teams played their hearts out," Coach Baltimore observed following the loss. "Whoever came down with the ball last won, and they did it. There were some crucial plays, and we are still having problems rebounding. Thank the Lord no one was injured. They will learn from it. We have to come back with a good practice and get ready for Madison Friday" Jeff Atkins led the scoring with 14 points. Jason Baldwin added 13. In the JV contest the Panthers enjoyed an 8-0 early lead, but Strasburg fought back and trailed 10-5 at the end of the first quarter. Rappahannock held onto the lead in the second quarter and finished the half up 15-9. The Rams came back in the third quarter and led 24-21 at the end of the period. The entire final quarter was close, but the JV Panthers came away with a 35-32 win. Coach Jason Gochenour was pleased to get the first victory in three (-games with Strasburg. "We didn't shoot overly well, but we played well," he said. "We were really good on defense and we rebounded well. The key for us is to keep the score low and not get into an up tempo game.” Clhtfy $4*60 per Week Next Deadlike .January 23 BUILDING SUPPLIES CHERRY STREET BUILDING SUPPLY CORP.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Connie Payne who has been having severe problems with her back.

Our prayers are also with Doug Willard's mother who had bypass surgery on her heart over the Christmas holidays in Pennsylvania. May she continue to do well and make a rapid recovery. The Amissville Fire and Rescue Company is considering the establishment of an Explorers post at the fire station which would be open to boys and girls 14 to 18 years of age.

Carter at 937-4218, Art Candenquist at 937-7444, or Jack Atkins at 937-5282 for more information. *' Membership in the Fire and Rescue Company is not a requirement to work with the Explorers, but an interest in helping them to prepare to be useful citizens of the community is.

Restaurants Raise Funds For Flospice Choice restaurants throughout the Virginia Piedmont have joined Hospice of the Rapidan's efforts to care for terminally ill patients and their families by offering discounts valid throughout the coming year. The organization's Adventures in Dining booklet features coupons from 23 area restaurants, and the $30 cost of each book will help Hospice of the Rapidan cover the cost of patient care. "Our hospice families are never billed for services, and this program will help us cover expenses for patients without Medicare or Medicaid,” says Page Smith, Hospice of the Rapidan's director of community outreach. "This is our first year to do the project, and we are delighted that so many wonderful restaurants are participating." The program attracts new customers for restaurants, and diners enjoy trying out new restaurants while supporting a worthy cause. All restaurants are within driving distance, and coupons are valid until Nov. 30, 1997. A conservative estimate puts their combined value at over $150. As a bonus, several fine dining establishments have donated complimentary meals to be drawn as prizes.
