49th Year, No. 17 12 Pages Member Audit Bureau of Circulation WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1997 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3338 50 Cents Commission Okays Revisions to Law By JAN LAVALLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer “The Board of Supervisors feels strqngly that there is an overwhelming need to save the mountaintops,” said Mike Massie, Rappahannock Board of Supervisors representative to the Planning Commission. Mr. Massie was referring to the proposed resolution the Planning Commission sent to the Board, from their previous meeting, dealing with proposed changes to the Erosion and Sediment Control Laws. The Board agreed to consider amendments to the Erosion and Sediment Control Laws and sent the resolution back to the Commission for further revision as requested. “There is damage being done and the mountains are fragile resources,” said Planning Commission Chair Sharon Pierce. After a short discussion on the resolution and some minor changes in the areas of height restrictions and wording, the Commission took public comments on the proposal. Phil Irwin, of Flint Hill, said he wanted to commend the Commission for the step it’s taking in the right direction. Col. Pete Luke, of Sperryville, said, “I was instrumental in getting this started in the first place when I was a member of the Board of Supervisors. This word has crept into the discussion — view scape. And, really it all depends where you stand. In different light, under different weather conditions things look differently and have a different effect on a person’s emotions. I think you’re putting expensive requirements on people who want to build a house.” “There are not too.many houses that will be built on those slopes,^ he continued. “Coming from Sperryville I counted six and in another two to three years you won’t see them either because of the landscaping they’ve done. On construction of homes you can argue two ways — build on the high ground and save the land for agricultural use or build on the low ground and take away from the amount of land left for agricultural use.” “And, finally,” he said, “This county gets far too much publicity. Route 231 has been designated a scenic byway and is one of the 10 most scenic byways in the United States. You can’t tell everybody and his brother about something and not expect response — when you advertise something like that someone will come and take it if they have the money to do so.” Pat Saltonstall, of Flint Hill, said she felt the resolution was overdone. ‘To concentrate just on mountain top development is arbitrary, to select them only is wrong, you’ll run into problems. I already have plans for a 4iome on a ridge top and have put out a lot of money and time into planning it. I doubt it will be too high to (to violate the standards in the resolution) but I’ve already spent the money and have it planned. I want the mountains pro tected too, but I’m not sure this is the way to do it. I think educating people to options Would be a good idea.” Jim Gannon, of Castleton, said, "I want to compliment the Commission on dealing with the problem. But, if you intend to do anything meaningful you have to go ahead. You’ve opened the door and one way or another you have to close it. I don't know if these are the right standards but don’t give up the idea.” Bob Bridges, of Washington, brought pictures of houses and erosion See Planning, Page A-6 ffunset in Rappahannock • ' ’ f - r Photo Courtesy of Lois Manookiao An exhibit entitled ‘Views of Rappahannock/ featuring Middle Street Gallery May 2.

You have congestive heart failure and you’re waiting, like thousands of others for a donor heart. Charles Embrey, of Flint Hill, knows how that feels — he’s now number three on the transplant list for a donor heairt at Fairfax Transplant Center, Fairfax Hospital. This week is National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week and this year its message, from Virginia’s’ Organ Procurement Agency hits close to home. That message is awareness — stressing the importance of education about donating organs and talking about it to your family. Ruth White, Mr. Embrey’s sister and the force behind a fundraising campaign to raise necessary funds for the transplant and after care, agrees that people need to know more about organ donation. “It’s important to be aware of the issue of organ donation and to talk to your family about it if you think you want to be an organ donor,” she said. “The IRS sent out Uniform Donor Cards with taxes this year in order to try and help people understand the importance of planning ahead. It helps avoid confusion later." Organ and tissue donation saves literally thousands of lives each year and is a chance to gift someone else with a medical miracle. The Rappahannock News first reported on Mr. Embrey’s condition in February. Mr. Embrey had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure Photo Courtesy of Ruth White Charles Embrey of Flint Hill and cardiomyopathy 10 years ago but hpd suffered no ill health until last fall when he developed what the family thought was pneumonia. He never got better and in January he took a turn for the worse and rapidly became very ill. He was admitted to Winchester Medical Center for a week. He was told he was terminal and there was nothing they could do for him but Ruth didn't believe it and convinced him he must seek other medical advice preferrably from a cardiologist. So, he saw See Donor, Page A-6 Flint Hill Family Hits the Jackpot By JAN LAVALLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer When Grady Vest, of Flint Hill, woke up last Thursday morning he didn’t know it was his lucky day — literally. Mr. Vest had managed to do what others dream of every day, he won the Lottery — to the tune of $13.5 million. For the Vest family it’s really a family affair. The Vests have been playing the Lottery almost since its inception and everybody in the family, Mr. Vest, his wife, Doris, and daughters, Renee and Cristal, and son, Alan all contributed to the ticket - never imagining they’d win, said Doris. The ticket was purchased at Hillsdale Grocery on Route 211 fn Washington, Va . whete Renee works. It made the Vest family the first Pick 6 winner in the area of Rappahannock, Culpeper, Orange, Fauquier or Madison counties and the lone winner for Wednesday’s Lotto drawing. The winning numbers were 5,10, 13, 18, 35 and 37. They are Doris’ and Grady’s birthdays - day, month and year. “We always play numbers which are dates that we know like the children’s birthdays or our birthday” said Doris. The family will receive a first check for $464,108 (after taxes of course) and 19 payments of $461,040 each according to the Virginia Lottery. Doris said they have decided how it will be broken up, since everyone had a share in it, but getting everyone together to go pick up their winnings has been a logistics problem. “All the children work, an dwe work, and you have to take time and arrange it so everyone can get together,” she said. “We’re all really excited. It’s a family winning. You think maybe I’ll hit $500 or $1000 but you never think •you’ll hit it bigr“ . ' " Mr. Vest has signed the ticket but since everyone in the family was involved it took time to arrange the division and how they would proceed before turning it in. A conference will take place in the near future. They have 180 days to claim his winnings. Hillsdale Grocery will benefit from the sale also and receive a tidy See Jackpot, Page A-3 &&V By CINDY MAHAN RaHMlHMuncfc News Staff Writer A jury found a Jeffersonton man guilty of forgery or uttering of two checks, felonies in violation of Virginia Code Section 18.2-172, Monday afternoon. Howard Junior Gray, 37, cashed the two checks, totalling $325, at Ben Venue Market last May. He admitted this during testimony, and further admitted that he had signed the name Russell E. Pullen, to whose account the checks belonged, on one of the checks. Mr. Pullen testified that he had left his checkbook, with four blank checks, at Fauquier Bank one day last December and had never recovered it. He asked the bank to I stop payment on those four checks. Michelle Langley, the cashier at Ben Venue Market who cashed the checks for Mr. Gray last May, testified that after the two checks had been returned from the bank, unpaid, marked as having a signature that didn’t match the two authorized signatures on file, Mr. Gray tried to cash a counter check for $ 100. She refused to cash it and called the Sheriff’s Office. Dot Waller, owner of Ben Venue Market, attempted to contact Mr. Gray by calling two different phone numbers which he had written on the backs of the checks, but was unable to reach him due to disconnected phones. Mr. Gray was picked up on the charges and interviewed by Major Rick MacWelch of the Sheriff’s Office. Major MacWelch said Mr. Gray told him, “If you drop the charges against me I will give you two big drug houses.” Mr. Gray also told Major Mac Welch that he worked for a Mr. Pullen in Fairfax and had built a concrete patio and painted two bedrooms for him, and that Mr. Pullen had given him the checks in payment for the work. Major MacWelch found the defendant by matching his name to the social security number which he had written on the backs of the checks. He also obtained a photo of Mr. Gray, and that photo was picked out of a photo line-up by Ben Venue Market cashier Michelle Langley as the man she had cashed the two checks for. After contacting Mr. Pullen, said Major MacWelch, he became aware that the documents were forged and he. Obtained arrest warrants for Mr. Gray. tt** Following testimony giveit by the Commonwealth’s witnesses, Mr. Gray’s attorney, Laura Cook, made a motion to strike the Commonwealth’s evidence. She argued that there was no testimony about a forgery and that no handwriting analysis was given as evidence. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke pointed out that expert testimony is not a prerequisite in a forgery case, and that both the peo- 5 pie who could sign on the checking account (Russell E. Pullen and Bertha L. Moore) said they did not sign those two checks. “There is 1 clear evidence that die checks woe forged," he said. He added that there was no question that the defendant 3 had uttered (presented) the checks. . ** SeaDial,hgtA4 ; ,‘tu 1 > h* . *

Probation Violation Leads to Time By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Herman Cefus Newman, 38, of Culpeper, was sentenced to six years in the Department of Corrections last Thursday for a probation violation. The six years was comeback time, time that had been suspended in lieu of Mr. Newman being on probation. However, while on probation he violated the terms and conditions of his supervised probation. Mr.' Newman was arrested in February and charged with conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine. Earlier this month, he was found guilty of two charges of failure to appear. Mr. Newman was originally convicted in Rappahannock County Circuit Court for three charges of breaking and entering and two charges of grand larceny, all felonies, in March 1992. He was sentenced to six years for each breaking and entering and five years for each grand larceny. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke told the judge, “This defendant has shown that he is not amenable to probation.” He said he felt that probation didn't serve any purpose for Mr. Newman and that he should serve the balance of his sentence. Judge Robertson admonished Mr. Newman for having a lot of convictions on his record since he was placed on probation. Another violator of probation, 33year-old Matthew Jeffries, was in court before Judge Carleton Penn on Monday. Mr. Jeffries had absconded to Florida, and following a run-in with law enforcement there, was extradited and brought back to the Rappahannock County Jail last week. Moving to Florida without advising his probation officer was Mr. Jeffries’s most serious violation of probation. He has also had several other violations over the past several years, including use of alcohol and drugs, not maintaining stable employment, failing to pay court costs, and committing other crimes, among them trespassing and petit larceny. Mr. Jeffries said that he had gone to Florida because his brother was terminally ill, but Judge Penn said that he went about it the wrong way. He should have spoken with the court about it and maybe they could have alleviated his situation by transferring his probation to Florida. Mr. Jeffries was originally convicted in Rappahannock County in 1988 for two counts of aggravated sexual battery. He was sentenced to five years for each charge with four years suspended. On Monday, Judge Penn found Mr. Jeffries in violation of probation; he sentenced him to serve 12 months confinement of his remaining four year jail sentence.

As it was lunchtime, he dismissed the jurors for a lunch break but had Mr. Gray arrested to ensure his presence at 1:15. Mr. Gray testified that he had done a job for a Russell Pullen who was a different man than the Russell Pullen who was in court to testify that the checks were from his account. He said that he had received the two checks in Fairfax. He admitted signing one , saying that he did so because Mr. Pullen had forgotten to; he said that the cashier said that would be okay. She later testified, during rebuttal, that when the checks were presented to her they were already signed. Mr. Gray said he lives in Jeffersonton with his wife and five children, who depend on him for income, and several other family members. Mr. Luke pointed out that the defendant is a convicted felon, having been convicted of distribution of cocaine. He had also been arrested twice for assault on his wife. He was still on probation from the cocaine conviction when he committed the two felonies. Mr. Luke asked the, defendant why he had written two different phone numbers on the two checks, wondering if he was trying tohide from anyone. Mr. Gray responded,, “I don’t have anything to hide from; nobody. All the police officers know me.” After finding Mr. Gray guilty of both felonies, the jurors were informed of his prior criminal record, and were • asked to recommend a sentence. Thedefendant was facing a maximum of 10, years in the Department of Corrections, up to 12 months in jail, up to a $2500fine, or a combination of up to 12 months in jail plus up to a fine of $2500. Ms. Cook pleaded with the jurors totake into account that Mr. Gray had five • children, and agreed that he should be, charged with paying for those two. checks. Mr. Luke informed the jurorsthat one of the points of sentencing is todiscourage others from doing crimes. The jury returned with their recommendation: for each felony, they said he should serve three months in jail plus pay a fine of $500. He will remain in jail until his formal sentencing by the judge on April 28.

Sperryville Woman Becomes DJ By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Karen Henderson of Sperryville is the newest DJ at Cl03, the “Cruisin’ Country” FM station in Culpeper. She gets up at 3 a.m. so she can be on the air from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. Monday through Friday. She started with the AM station, WCVA, in January, playing old-time music and memories, and recently was asked by the station if she wanted to try the FM station. Ms. Henderson is very much at ease on the radio, as she was the weekend overnight voice at WMAL radio in Washington, D.C. for 12 years, leaving in 1992. When she found that she missed being on the radio, she applied for the job in Culpeper and got it. Last weekend she did her first remote for the station, in front of the J.C. Penney store in Culpeper from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The celebration was for J.C. Penney’s 90th anniversary, and plenty of Cl 03 fans stopped by to meet Ms. Henderson and have their picture taken with her. In between the contemporary country hit songs, Karen does the news, some “infotainment,” runs the commercials, gives weather forecasts, and answers the phones. On the FM station, the country hits are preselected by a music consultant. When Ms. Henderson was on the AM station, she played her own records, and said that once in a while she would break into song. Her voice training came when she studied opera from the ages of 13 to 17. She was accepted to Juillard, but was told she was too young to attend and would have to wait a year. By then, her life was going in another direction, so she never did get to go to Juillard. But, she vigorously pursued the singing and has been singing professionally ever since. She remembers the days of singing at Mr. Henry’s in Georgetown. At the same time, Roberta Flack was singing at the Mr. Henry’s on Capitol Hill. “She got discovered and I spent the next 20 years in Bailey’s Crossroads,” said Ms. Henderson. Her voice has taken her to the Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin shows, the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas, and many clubs in the Washington, D.C. area. Those include Blues Alley, the Cellar Door, Anton’s 1201 Club and as an entertainer in many major hotels in the area. She also sang at the Ft. Myer Officer’s Club in Arlington for four years. While at WMAL, Ms. Henderson appeared regularly at events in' Washington, D.C., including hosting the July 4 festivities on the grounds of the Washington monument, and has sung with bands such as the Army Blues, Airmen of Note, the Air Force Symphony, the Starlight Orchestra and the Navy Commodores. She has recently been named an honorary lifetime member of the U.S. Navy Band. Ms. Henderson’s repertoire of songs shows a versatility that comes from so many years of belting out those tunes. She can be doing big band songs one minute and then switch to “Respect” by Aretha Franklin or “I Feel Good” by James Brown or Patsy Cline’s “Crazy.” . In April alone, she sang for the National Space Club/NASA Goddard Space Center at the Washington Hilton, the National Building Museum, a Hollywood gala at the White-Myer House, and the Prevention of Blindness Ball at the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C. In May, she is looking forward to performing at Zoofari, a fund-raiser for the National Zoo. Also, during nursing home week, she will be doing a show with a pianist performing memory provoking tunes. “Music is a great healer and powerful tool,” said Ms. Henderson. In 1994, Ms. Henderson published her first book, titled “Miraclemind,” The Wonder of Mind Over Matter; it is for sale at Mountainside Market in Sperryville. She has just finished a second book, a fictional account of an environmental horror. Ms. Henderson has lived in Gid Brown Hollow with her husband Warren since 1990; she said they moved here to get away from the rat race. But they both still work in town a lot. She is also a board member of RLEP (Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection).

Songs of Birds Are Pleasant Sounds of birds fill these mild ;April mornings. Above the squeaks of grackles, I hear the distinct and clear notes of a Cardinal. To me it sound like whoit-whoit-whoit. The structure of this song is complicated, difficult to describe but pleasing to my ear. At other times the bird seems to be [singing: What — Cheer, What — Cheer. I don’t know how a female Cardinal perceives this aspect of a dawn chorus. I can only assume it is pleasing to the lady. The male is not only announcing his availability as a mate, he is also warning other male Cardinals that a particular patch of thicket is his. They are to stay out or be chased out. Robins are greeting April days with their rollicking song that defies my ability to describe. Roger Tory Peterson, in A Field Guide To the Birds, wrote: “Song, a clear caroling, short phrases, rising and falling, often prolonged.” It is a positive affirmation. I wonder that any female can resist its message. Here in Flint Hill, doves are vocal only at dawn when they fill the air with low pitched and mournful five notes. It is the seeming sadness of this call that gave doves their name; Mourning Dove. Grackles don’t really have a song. Their curious and constant squeaks — like hinges needing oil — in no way compete with the defined and definite notes of Robins and Cardinals. At the feeder, which they are dominating these days, these ineffectual and unbirdlike sounds often come from a male that fluffs up his feathers and points his bill to the sky when another male lands too close. With all that posturing, one expects a more forceful sound. All that one hears is a futile, j^P^iNCE Michel DEVlRGiNiA Upcoming events for 1997 /June 7th - Barrel tasting with the staff, tours, complimentary wines & cheeses.

But then I am not a bird, certainly not a grackle. Their iridescent plummage is a glory of color when the light hits it just right; their feathers glow with purple, green, and bronze. This must be impressive to the duller females though I see little evidence that they are noticing his efforts. Carolina Wrens are also singing and do so right through the day whereas Cardinals and Robins do their best at dawn followed by a repeat at dusk. The wren’s song is easier to define for it has three distinct syllables, io-ree-per, ioree-per, or scen-ner-y, sce-ner-y. Once, years ago, I jotted down phonetically every Carolina Wren song I heard. The total came to 16! All were clear state Bankruit? Repossession? Bad Credit? Shaky Credit? is No Credit? NO MONEY ments in three syllables. With wrens, Cardinals and Robins, it is interesting to listen very carefully for answering male birds that are often quite a distance away. There are minute difference in sons among one species that only birds detect. Ornithologists do this through recordings and sonograms. The point is that a Cardinal, for instance, is announcing his territorial rights. Answering Cardinals sing a song which can be loosely translated as: “Yes, I hear you and respect your announcement; you respect mine.” There is also a bit of this: “Anything you can sing, I can sing louder and better!” A Tufted Titmouse song consists of two distinct notes that sound like pe-to, pe-to. This is repeated constantly when birds are establishing territory and courting. White-throated Sparrows leave Virginia for the northwoods in May, after they have moulted. The black and white head stripes become clear and distinct. This is complimented by the bright yellow lores between the eye and bill. Before flying north these handsome sparrow often sing. It’s a sweet and pensive song, usually consisting of five notes. It starts low, moves up an octave for one note, then down again to three identical whistled notes. From now until May, the number of birds contributing to the dawn chorus will grow until it is difficult to detect one singer from the next. Orioles, tanagers, vireos, and warblers will add to the songs being flung into the morning air.

If you think about it too long it almost seems gruesome. But, when you consider the real miracle that can be accomplished because of such a gift it puts things in a different perspective. This week is National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week. If nothing else, you should make yourself aware of what it means to be an organ donor and what it takes to be one. It’s not difficult to do, but it requires communication with those you love and who love you. This issue has hit Rappahannock where we live. Charles Embrey, of Flint Hill, is now waiting for a donor heart at Fairfax Hospital — he’s number three on the transplant list and is very ill. He has a chance to continue his life if he receives a donor heart. Without one there is no chance for him. There are thousands of people nationwide with the same need. What would happen if there were no organ donors? The answer is painfully obvious. So, think about the issue of organ donation and talk about it with your family. They must kno$ about such a decision because the family makes the final decision for a departed loved one. Each day, eight to ten people die in this country because there is no donor organ to help prolong their life. It becomes a very personal issue. It is a gift that takes self-sacrifice and is a difficult decision to make at a stressful time. As in the case of Mr. Embrey, it could be someone you know or your loved one who needs a donor organ. Before transplantation can work, it has to happen. Commissioners Commended The members of t Rappahannock County Planning Commission are to commended for their hard work and continued efforts toward revision of the Erosion and Sediment Control Law. Their draft of workable recommendations to the Board of Supervisors has been carefully thought out and discussed. It also seems to have approval from the majority of people who have addressed the Commission. Whether or not the proposal meets with public approval at the public hearing, or from the Board, the Commissioners have clearly done their job and done it well.

Letters to the Editor sH*; VICA Students Deserve Praise To the Editor: v On April 12 I had the opportunity to attend the VICA State competitions in Roanoke Virginia, in which several students from Rappahannock High School competed. There were many competitions ranging from Needleworks to Fire Fighting Skills. I would just like to let those parents who were not able to attend this event know how proud they should be of these students. Often times we do not take the time to praise our kids enough and we often worry about how they behave themselves once they are out of our sight. I have to let you know how impressed I was at how well these young people conducted themselves and how serious they were about doing their best to represent their school. I spent most of my time with the students who participated in the Fire Fighting Competitions. I was truly touched and very impressed with this group of young men. There were two teams that participated in this event all who attend Piedmont Technical to receive t|jeir training. Among the Rappahannock there was a couple of students from Culpeper. Some of the students have been profiled in the Rappahannock News over the past few months. These two teams took the Gold and Silver medals in this competition, competing with the other students from Virginia Beach and other surrounding areas. Some of these students will be advancing to the National Level to.be held in Kansas City in late June. I think the local volunteer companies who are fortunate enough to have these young men should be very proud of them. Being a volunteer at one time myself I understand how important it is to have dedicated people to be there to get the job done. Judging from what I have seen from these young men these companies have that. It’s a good feeling to know that we have young people right here in our community willing to take the time to leant these skills and be willing to step right in and help out. These young men were under the direction of Mr. Frye (their teacher from Piedmont). This gentleman really appears to have his students best interest at heart. He certainly appears to be very dedicated to his students which really means a lot to the guys as well as the parents. My hats off to him for this type of dedication. I would like to take the opportunity to express a special congratulations to John Bobbit, Tyler Haynes, Trey Smith, Mike Williams, Travis Dodson, Chris Gray, Matt Marlor and Mr. Frye for your accomplishments and GOOD LOCK to those of you who will be making the trip to Kansas City. I know you will be great. Also congratulations to all the other students who competed in their special events and just remember if you didn’t come home with a medal that you all are truly winners. NORMA SETTLE Chester Gap A Cry for Help Was Answered To the Editor: I would like to take this methpd to express my humble thanks for your quick response to my urgent need and plight when my tractor overturned pinning me underneath on the afternoon of February 26, 1997. My heartfelt thanks go especially to Mrs. Wiggington who first heard my cries for help and alerted the Sheriff’s Office, the Volunteer Rescue Squad, and the Volunteer Fire Department all of whom responded immediately. I also must thank Mike Brown and Richie Baldwin who expertly and gently used their tow truck to lift the tractor off of me enabling the Volunteer Rescue Squad to remove me without further injury. After that the Volunteer Rescue Squad carefully and professionally checked me over and transported me to Culpeper Memorial Hospital for their evaluation. Nothing was broken but bruising was extensive. Again, from the bottom of my heart I would like to thank you one and all for coming to my aid and saving my life. May God Bless. PAUL M. TAYLOR Sperryville Support TV Turnoff Week To the Editor: A year ago someone wrote a letter to the editor that implied that someone was making money off National TVTumoff Week. At the time my stepmother and a friend of hers were the local organizers of TV-Tumoff Week. They were both volunteers. I have since learned that there are only three employees at the headquarters of TV-Free America, which sponsors TV-Tumoff Week. The executive director earns $33,000 a year, the assistant director $23,000, and the secretary $18,000. Their money comes from the sale of TV-T\imoff Organizer’s Kits, $10 each, and from charitable grants. They are a nonprofit group. I hope this answers any questions about TV-Tumoff Week, which is April 24-30 this year. This year I am trying to organize the week. I hope parents will support their children’s efforts to break the TV habit for a week. If Dad insists on watching the news and Mom can’t give up “Good Morning, America,” it will be real hard for the kids. Why not try TV-Tumoff Week as a family? The first few days will be tough, but then there may be some nice surprises when everyone sits longer around the dinner table just talking or plays a pick-up game of softball together.

SPORTS Panthers Defeat Brentsville Tigers By MELODY HACKNEY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Panthers were on the road again on Tuesday (4/15), this time facing last year’s Bull Run District Champions, the Brentsville Tigers. The Panthers, in a highly exciting contest, defeated the Tigers by a score of 5-4. Heavy hitters for the Panthers included Griffin Ward (2 for 3, 2 RBIs) and Gary Phillips (1 for 3, 2 RBIs). The Panthers impressively out hit the Tigers 7 to 5. Senior Pitcher, Jon Digges, went the distance facing 31 batters, allowing one earned run and striking out eight. Jon was rattled in the first inning, allowing a 2-run homerun, but maintained his poise and showed his experience as a veteran pitcher, shut ting the Tigers down in the 4th, 5th and 6th innings. TVailing 3-1 going into the 6th inning, Jon received help from his teammates who scored 4 runs, giving Jon the lead he needed to secure the win. Brentsville scored one unearned run in the 7th on an infield error, making the score 5-4 Panthers. With bases loaded and two outs, Jon went to work on the final Tiger batter, who grounded the ball to shortstop, Andy Grimsley. A quick flip to second baseman, Tommy Settle became the fin^l out of the game. Coach Hackney was extremely pleased with the effort and outcome of his team, stating, “We’ve just proven to ourselves how good we can be. The key for us is to play consistent baseball and minimize our mis takes. Our boys are eager to win and clearly have the potential to do so. If we play our future opponents like we played at Brentsville, we are going to be very difficult to beat.” On Wednesday (4/16), the Panthers hosted the Strasburg Rams. In another exciting game determined in the final inning, this time the Panthers found themselves falling by a score of 5-4. Big hitters in this game included: Griffin Ward, Andy Grimsley and Daniel Digges. Each had two hits apiece as the Panthers collected a total of eight hits on the day. On the mound Andy Grimsley pitched impressively, facing 33 Ram batters, allowing six hits, striking out seven and giving up two earned runs.

Soccer On the Right Foot By MARY BETH MARTIN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Although the weather was wet, it did not dampen the spirits of the players. The first two weeks of Rappahannock soccer has shown a good defense in the U-14 team according to coach Maureen Day. The April 12 game against Fauquier 2 was lost 1 to 7 and on April 19 the team lost 0 to 3 to Fauquier 3. The U-12 team, coached by‘ John Bridgeman, nicknamed themselves the Blue Ridge Kickers. The team lost their first game in the rain to Fauquier 3, but then won their second game against Fauquier 2 with a hard fought score of 3 to 1. The whole team played well according to the coach. The two Rappahannock U-10 teams played each other for two weeks, each team winning a game. Linda Torrence, coach for the Rapp II team, is looking forward to the team playing at Comet Stadium in Culpeper for the first time under the lights on April 26 at 7 p.m. The U-8 team, coached by Rob Parrish, lost their first game 2 to 3, but then turned it around in the second game with a score of 3 to 2. The U-8 team coached by Tom Pendleton worked well as a team, even when half of the first game was in the rain. The first game was lost 2 to 3, but the second game on April 19 was won 3 to 2 with both teams showing some outstanding soccer moves. The U-6 team is doing well with their informal scrimmages. Mark Pace, their coach, says there are lots of smiles and enthusiasm.

Mr. Bridges also pointed out that there has been a void created in many places this year from dead trees, particularly oak, and that plantings have been done and the look of those areas will improve as the new plantings mature. He also said the amount of new plantings and work done to combat erosion problems may look expensive but in fact wasn’t that bad at all. Mitzi Young congratulated the Commission on their progress with the issue. “Everything we do to enhance and preserve the county is in our own best interests. This is a democracy and I think people will support it.” Mr. Massie said, “We’re trying to ask people to live with the mountains rather than live on the mountains, that’s all.” Piedmont District representative Tom Junk said, “this has been a three year process and we’ve tried to make it less restrictive but all these things make sense for the majority of people. The Commission unanimously approved the resolution, with the noted changes, for consideration by the Board. The Commission also approved the request by Admiral Joseph Gardiner for the withdrawal of 25 acres out of the Agricultural & Forestal District. This was the first request of its kind since the creation of the District in 1983. Admiral Gardinpr requested the withdrawal in order to make a gift of the land to Harry and Nancy Newlin so that he will have neighbors near him that can help him out should he need help.

There was a question of back taxes due on the property and County Administrator John McCarthy said that the only back taxes due would be on the one acre lot since the rest would be kept in land use, and that they wouldn’t add up to a large amount since it is only the one acre on which taxes will be due.

He met the criteria for a heart transplant: You must be referred by a cardiologist; you must not drink or smoke; you cannot suffer from any malignancy; and you cannot be immuno compromised (or taking anything that could cause the immune system to be weakened). Mr. Embrey was reviewed by the Transplant Committee and approved in March as a candidate. He’s been in Fairfax Hospital full time since March 23 in the Coronary Care Unit waiting for a heart. Ruth has meanwhile been doing everything she can to raise money to help pay for the $150,000 transplant and the after care for anti-rejection medication which he must take for three years. Insurance covers about a quarter of the cost and helps out with after care and Ruth recently managed to get the amount of her brother’s insurance increased but that also means a rise in cost for coverage.

Jackson District representative Dave Fannon, after some discussion, said, “I think it’s our fault for not putting restrictions on the business and being more specific when they got their permits. I don’t think we need to change the ordinance.” Mrs. Pierce said, “We n^d to get the issues straight, they are: Should the number of meals served be based on the number of rooms; should we allow huge gatherings such as wedding receptions; and what should the size, shape and lighting of the sign age be.” Mr. Bridges said the B&Bs should be protected as B&Bs and the focus ! should be placed on how we got 18 B&Bs in the county. He had no objection, he said, to those B&Bs who want to serve dinners or have weddings but it should require a new license to do so. The Commission decided to j appoint an AdHoc Committee to study < the issue and come up with workable suggestions. Dr. Werner Krebser, Alex Sharp and Tom Junk were appointed as the committee members.

In fact, the New England Journal of Medicine reported in December 1996 that patients with heart problems do better when treated by a cardiologist than by a primary care physician. Ruth, who works at Fauquier Hospital and is a former OR and ER nurse, along with Mr. Embrey’s daughters, Marlissa Embrey, Dianna Boyles and Christina Rasmussen have been working around the clock organizing fund raisers. Donations should be sent to Charles’ Fund, State Bank of Remington, Bealeton Branch, Bealeton, 22712. But that may not be enough to get Charles what he needs. Donor hearts must match for blood type and body size. There are as of March 25,65 people on the regional list for heart transplants according to the Washington Regional Transplant Consortium. That region encompasses Washington, D.C., MarylanrJ, Northern Virginia. ’ Nationally eigm to 10 people each day die waiting for a donor organ. Nationally 3,797 need a donor heart. Virginia law also mandates that the family of any potential donor be asked about donation. And, even if the potential dbnor has a signed document, the next-of-kin must give consent to the recovery. “Everyone at the hospital has been wonderful and the medications he’s getting have maintained him,” Ruth said. Mr. Embrey has less than 16 percent of his heart now functioning. Ruth said the support they’ve received in cards, notes and donations has been inspiring. “The people in Rappahannock have been wonderful, we’ve gotten so much support. We had a great fundraiser at the Ben Venue races and so many people have responded. People from Culpeper, Fauquier, ;! Loudoun and even Maryland.

S' Community News Obituaries Rappahannock News CountrySide Real Estate Classifieds R WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23,1997 ' Photos Courtesy of Lois Manookian This watercolor and chalk work gives an accurate impression of the cold stark days of winter. The artist feels this is probably the most dramatic work in the show. County Views Inspire Artist rlmn At H H By JAN LAVALLEY Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer The Middle Street Gallery in Washington, Va., will feature an exhibit entitled “Views of Rappahannock” beginning May 2 and running through May 25. And what views they are. Local artist Lois Manookian has used her considerable talent to put together a series of 16 works of art done in watercolors, chalk and several pieces done as a combination of the two. Lois is primarily a landscape painter and has previously done a series on the Caribbean which showed at the Rappahannock County Library several years ago. But this show deals exclusively with scenic vistas from the county- tyLois began working on this show about two years ago. “As a professional artist you tend to be always pointing toward a show, but I paint because I’m inspired by the scenery. It’s no accident that there are quite a few artists living here,” she said. She feels one of the strongest works in the show is a painting of a winter scene with trees, very stark and dramatic. The paintings range in size from 11 by 13 inches to 27 by 34 inches, very large for a watercolor. There are many views of breathtaking local landscapes and all the seasons have been given equal attention, such as “Summer on Old Rag” and “Fall on the Hills.” Lois started out working with sengraphs, or silk screen, and then went on to oils but has spent the last eight Middle Street Gallery To Feature Manookian years working with watercolors. “Watercolors are so instant You can change them a little but not much. They’re very limited as to what you can do after the color is down — it goes quickly. It’s both a blessing and a curse,” she said. “I spend an hour thinking for every 10 minutes of working.” Lois does sketches of scenes she wants to paint and also takes photographs of the scenes. “I only paint what I’m very familiar with, something I look at every day,” she said. “I have a western view from my studio so I see a lot of sunsets and winter here is the best time for them.” “I use relatively few tricks. I’ve heard of a few but I haven’t tried them. I do skies with the paper wet but you have to get just the right amount of water. Each painting is a kind of experiment,” she said, “the right combination of water and pigment.” Lois said she doesn’t show about half of what she paints, keeps about two-thirds and probably throws away at least a third of the work she does. “But, I always say ‘don’t throw away anything immediately’ and sometimes I put them away. Something I thought was awful when I first did it may be fine on second look. I’ll work on it a little more and do a little fixing and then use it to show.” She passes this advice on to her students. Lois teaches art lessons to adults and children in two sessions per year — Spring and Fall — unless she’s preparing for a show in which case she doesn’t teach one session. The sessions last eight weeks and she only takes three students at a time. She teaches general art to kids and drawing and watercolor to adults. She takes three students at a time to make it worth her while and keep cost down for students but scheduling is always a problem. She has never advertised for her classes. Her class size 'is limited and her instruction is therefore very personalized and intensive. She has always had to chose class participants from a list of applicants based on when she can teach and when the students can attend together. “It’s more fun for the kids who take my classes to come when there are only three of them because they get individual attention and they can work on their own project. Very seldom do all three work on the same thing at the same time,” she said. “It’s often the same with adults. They come with different backgrounds and goals and I can respond to that with only three of them in a class. . .. And, she never lacks for applicants , including other area artists who have applied and taken classes with her. AIL * due, no doubt, to her individualized * approach, extraordinary talent and * excellent reputation as a teacher. t “I love teaching, it is a huge Z she said. “I’ve missed it this spring JL ", (since I’ve been working on the exlyb- £ ;j it).” * “But, I can’t move my things * around during the week when * working on my own work.

Concert Series Closes Music by Schubert, Beethoven, and Bach closes the 1996-97 “Smithsonian at Little Washington” ; concert series on Sunday, April 27 at 4 p.m. at the Theatre at Washington, Va. Before the concert, at 3:30, , fortepianist Lambert Orkis and cellist Kenneth Slowik discuss the program and their exceptionally beautiful and historically important instruments. The program for the concert is J.S. Bach’s Suite in C Major for Cello Solo, BWV 1009 in a rarelyheard version that includes an accompaniment provided by Robert Schumann; Franz Schubert’s delightful Moments Musicaux for piano solo, and Ludwig van Beethoven’s Sonata in C Major, Op. 102, No. 1 for cello and piano. The afternoon marks the fourth program presented in as many years at the Theatre by these two artists, whose noted ensemble playing and relaxed yet informative method of discussing their work has made them audience favorites. Lambert Orkis is Principal Keyboard of the National Symphony Orchestra, teaches at Temple University, and has appeared on major concert stages throughout the world as recital partner to 'cellist Mstislav Rostropovich and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter. Kenneth Slowik directs the Chamber Music Program at the Smithsonian, teaches at the University of Maryland and at the Oberlin College Conservatory, where he leads the Baroque Performance Institute, and enjoys an international reputation for his chamber music recordings and his work as a conductor. Tickets for this concert are $13.50 with advance reservation and $14 at the door, with students 18 and under half price. For information or reservations, phone 675-1253. 'Dear Liar' Coming To The Theatre's Stage The witty and bewitching repartee of the great Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw and the captivating actress Mrs. Patrick Campbell so fascinated American playwright Jerome Kilty that he turned their correspondence into a successful Broadway play. That play, called “Dear Liar,” comes to the Theatre at Washington, Va., for a staged reading on Saturday, April 26 at 8 p.m. The climax of Shaw’s career as a writer of comedies was reached with his most famous play Pygmalion. Its transformation into the enormously successful musical My Fair Lady made the character Eliza Doolittle, the cockney flower girl, known to millions throughout the world. What is not well known is that Shaw wrote the part of Eliza for Mrs. Patrick Campbell, an actress whose name remains a household phrase in Britain though not in the United States. And what is even less well known is that Mrs. Patrick Campbell was 47 at the time she brought the character to the London stage for its first performance there. Shaw saw the Pygmalion character as a “rapscallionly flower girl.” After Shaw read the play for the first time to “Mrs. Pat” the actress wrote to him to thank him for “thinking I can be your pretty slut” The playwright and the actress were the talk of London society. Shaw’s friend Beatrice Webb, the English social reformer, characterized the relationship as “one of gross mutual flattery, each pandering to the other’s morbid craving for the recognition of unique genius ... he is the fly and the lady the spider.” In the staged reading of “Dear Liar” at the Theatre at Washington, Va., Ann Russell plays the part of Mrs. Patrick Campbell and Michael Joyce , the part of George Bernard Shaw. Photo Courtesy of Wendy Weinberg Actress Ann Russell. Russell is a theatre graduate of Northwestern University and has worked in professional and community theatre since leaving college. Michael Joyce is a professor of drama and theatre at Mary Washington College. He has acted in productions throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and has himself directed over 40 productions. Russell directed and Joyce played the part of Doctor Puigeon in the highly successful performance of “The Hypochondriac” recently at the Theatre. Tickets for the performance are SI2, adults and $6, students 18 years and under. Members of the audience are invited to stay after for a reception. For reservations and information phone 675-1253.

Not just because of discounts and other thoughtful breaks. Rather it’s that with children grown-up and grandchildren brightening every visit they can look back over the years with no regrets. Maybe that’s an exaggeration. Things don’t always work out right. Dreams had to confront reality. But in the deepest relationships of life, Frank and Blanche truly have no regrets. They’re convinced the key has been Faith. Family life was built on a religious foundation. Children had the vital blessings of spiritual training at Church. Now the grandchildren are growing up with deep-rooted convictions. Accept the Lord's help in raising your family!

In addition to her lush harmony vocals, the album features Alisa’s lead vocals on one song that is quickly becoming a favorite on radio play lists across the country. Described as a rare combination of storyteller, lyricist and talented sjnger, Alisa’s souful and compelling songs have earned her many songwriting awards (Kerrville “New-Folk”) and festival appearances.

Desserts — The Grand Finale Many people believe that the grand finale to any meal is dessert. This week we encouraged readers to submit recipes for quick and easy desserts. Desserts can be very simple or quite elegant depending upon the amount of time you have to devote to that part of the meal. Pudding or ice cream are always quick and with a sauce adds a different dimension that only appears like you have made quite the fuss over dessert. Fresh fruit over ice cream is quick and makes a beautiful dessert cup. With the upcoming strawberry season and if you are fortunate enough to have your own, they are an absolute delight for last minute dessert ideas. Desserts are quite often very calorie and fat filled, however, consider low fat milk when making the puddings or low fat cream cheese, etc. Most of the time your family cannot tell the difference when it comes to dessert. A good rule of thumb to remember is always serve a light dessert with heavy meals, and save the heavy desserts to serve with light meals. Among the following recipes you will find excellent dessert ideas. We appreciate those who submitted recipes and encourage others to participate. Several topics have been suggested and will follow in the weeks ahead. Lemon Breeze 1 stick butter 1 cup plain flour Mix, press down to form crust. Bake in a 350 degree oven, until brown. Let cool. 1 large cream cheese 1 Cup 1 OX sugar 1 cup cool whip (or more) Spread on top of cooled crust. 2 boxes instant lemon pudding 3 cups milk Beat well.
