I Rappahannock Sheriff Gary Settle said that ! an*ests will now be made in cases of domestic violence. The police, when called to the scene will determine who the aggressor is, arrest and remove that person from the home. The aggressor will see the magistrate and will not be allowed back in the residence for a period of 72 hours or until after court convenes, which ever is first. Many jurisdictions, he said, have court every day and that part of the new policy was meant to cover weekends. However, here in Rappahannock court does not convene every day or even every week. Sheriff Settle said it has been a trying time already just since the new policy took effect July 1. There have been three of four incidents of people violating the new order and that will also be reported when they go to court. And that’s the second part of this new policy which the state hopes will encourage people who are victims of domestic violence or those who commit acts of domestic violence to get help. Someone will go to court and be prosecut ed. That someone will be who the police decide is the aggressor. It could be a man or a woman. The intended result is to get the aggressor out of the home and away from the situation for a longer period of time and stop more violence from occurring. The magistrate will now decide the time restraint to be placed on the aggressor See COPS, Page A6 Benjamin Estes, son of Ken and Kelly Estes of Sperryville, had a marvelous time participating in the Children’s Bicycle Parade, just • one of many activities that took place during the annual Fourth of duty m l Rappahannock News Staff Photo/CARt EBORN Festival in Washington, Va.

The request is one for the Dorothy T. Taylor property in Sperryville. The family wishes to convert the home into a duplex for low-income housing. The Planning Commission approved the request at their June meeting and sent it on to the board for final approval. The only condition they placed upon it was that the dwelling should provide four parking spaces along with it. The family was looking at fixing the house but wants to do it an economically feasible way. They advised the Planning Commission that they would probably use aluminum siding on the exterior. The group of citizens who spoke to the board were opposed to this because in 1982 Sperryville was designated as a historic district and they 1 feel the improvements to the home should be done in a manner that would not ruin the historic character of the home. However, the old wood clapboard which is what is on the house, is very labor intensive to restore and maintain. Some members of the group spoke up about possible grants available for 11181000 properties but acquiring those would entail an effort on the part of citizens of the county and Spenyville to put in place restrictions on what can be done with historic properties. Such a proposal would also have to come before the Board of Supervisors and a public hearing would be held. A committee or board, like the Town of Washington’s Architectural Review Board, would have to be formed to review cases as they arose. County Administrator John McCarthy informed the members of the group present at the meeting of this. He said that although Spenyville had been designated a historic district there were no restrictions of any kind in place and in fact it would require a historic district ordinance to do it. “You need committed people to work on the issue. Elected officials respond to numbers and act accordingly depending on how many people are behind the issue.” He said, as did the board members present, that the matter was not one for the Board of See ZONING, Page A6 mgl V •/ At A Glance • July 10- At 7:30 p.m., the Architectural Review Board meets at the town hall. • July 10- At 6:30 p.m., the annual picnic for the Rappahannock Lions at the park. • July 11 - At7:30 p.m., panel discussion, presentation on water quality issues facUig the county will be held at the library.

Everyone in Rappahannock was thrilled and happy for them. But what happens then? What have they done since winning? Playing the lottery was a family game with everyone in the family of five sharing in the prize. Renee was' working at the Hillsdale Country Store when the Virgina Lottery representative came into announce that the winning ticket had been sold there. That created some, excitement, but nothing like what happened after her father, Grady, came in to check his winning ticket and then asked Renee to check it. Grady and Renee went to her sister Cristal’s home where she was running a childcare business and they told her the news. Her husband had not left for work, so they left him in charge and went to Front Royal where mother Doris was working at the Super Fresh Grocery Store. When Doris first saw her huband and both daughters coming to talk to her she feared something terrible had happened. After the shock of winning wore off she hept right on working despite questions about why a millionaire would want to keep wrapping meat. Alan was driving his tractor-trailer down a Pennsylvania highway when his wife called on his cellular telephone. “She was all teary and crying,” he said. He had to finish his delivery and then headed home. Their lawyer advised the Vests to change their telephone number, but Doris refused. She said that people in the community have been wonderful. They received a lot of congratulations, but no one has approached them with any schemes or solicitations. The only aggravation said Alan has been the flood of applications from the credit card companies. ' Life hasn’t changed that much for the Vests after they picked up their check for $464,108 they insist. They did pay off their home mortgages. Grady and Doris had originally given all three children land on which to build homes adjoining their property and it is a Rappahannock-style family compound. Renee quit her job at Hillsdale Country Store to be full-time mother and Cristal stopped operating her childcare business on the advice Sm VEST, Pag* A6 Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors accepted the report of the School Board concerning funds being returned to the county from last year’s school budget. The school board will use the funds to pay for the balance of the cost of the roof repair at Rappahannock High School. . , The supervisors will wait until the bills come in and pay as necessary rather than giving any additional funds to the schools and thereby will avoid having any leftover funds coining back again. % The supervisors discussed the new laws concerning fingerprinting applicants for concealed handgun permits. £ * , The law changed as of July land now each county will have a local option to fingerprint for permits or hot . County Attorney Peter Luke said the difference comes when you do the background check. Without the fingerprints, the record check is based on name. Social Security Number and date of birth, but with them a person convicted in another jurisdiction and possibly under another name will show up. j.

Healing: An evolution, artist to counselor This is the first in a series of profiles on the staff of Rappahannock Healing Arts Center. By Lawrence James Rappahannock News Special Writer “I want to be part of that,” said Bertha Scholten when she first found out that Sharon and Dan Nicholson wanted to start a healing group at Mountainside Market in Sperryville. That was nearly two years ago. The group is now flourishing and have had to relocate to their new home — the Rappahannock Healing Arts Center off Route 211 in Sperryville. They needed more space to accommodate new members with different complimentary modalities and additional space for all the members to work from. Bertha, who was bom in Tennessee, got her undergraduate degree in art from the University of Tennessee. In 1963 she moved to Virginia to settle and start a family. Like many mothers, she opted to stay at home and be available to her children, a boy and girl, during their formative years. When they went off to school she felt it was time to explore the world around her. She wanted an outlet for her talent as an artist and to find out if she had the wherewithal to make it as a professional. So, she volunteered to work with clients at a psychosocial rehab center near Alexandria where she taught painting. From the experience she found she really enjoyed working with the clients and want i ed to be able do more for them. Her position had turned into a full time paid position but she still wanted to do more. She took a decidedly bold step. She enrolled in a graduate program at the University of Virginia for counseling. It was an exciting and demanding period in her life, she said, but also a troubled one for her marriage broke up. She became full time student, full time art teacher and full time single parent. It was a difficult and trying time, she said. “However, that which doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger,” she said. She and her children made it through the difficult times and Bertha graduated from UVA in 1977 with a masters in counseling. Her children grew up, went to college and now lead productive lives, she said. She continued working for the rehab center until 1978 at which time she went to work for Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Health Board as the extended care coordinator for the five county area. She held this position for four years. “It was an administrative position mostly,” she said and she felt it left much to be desired. She felt a deep desire to get into counseling again and interact with people on a personal level — to be able again to do more. She established a private practice, but doing so was not without its difficulties. She worried about being able to pay the bills at the end of the month while she was getting established. Fortunately, she managed Chimney Swifts a part of summer The twinkling, erratic flight of Chimney Swifts across the late afternoon sky is as much a part of a Virginia summer as the droning of Cicadas at high noon and the rolicking song of a robin at dawn. Often a pair of swifts, or even three, will fly together, wing tips nearly touching as they stitch a capricious pattern across the sky in their constant search for flying insects. So rapid are the wingbeats of this bird that until recently it was thought they beat their wings alternately. In my endless minutes of swift-watching I once persuaded myself that I saw one hold a wing stiff while flapping the other as the bird executed a quick turn. Slow motion photography proved they dp beat their wings together as other birds. Swifts are soot-colored, five-inch birds with a wingspan of 12 1/2 inches. The narrow, swept-back wings are perfect adaptations for rapid flight and quick turns as swifts, with open mouths, pursue insects through the upper air. . , Swifts are swallows with whom they share the open sky. In placing the world-wide family of swifts in Phylogenetic Order — the order in which they evolved — they were placed between Goatsuckers (Whip-poor-wills and Nighthawks) and Hummingbirds, which also have very rapid wingbeats and superb maneuverability. So perfectly adapted for aerial life are swifts that they court while flying, drink water by scooping up a bill-full in full SPECIALIZED BACKUOE SERVICES 540-675-3901 mTfWi PERK TESTS WATER IXVES LVWSCAriMi UTILITY 1»MBEW Compact inAutrlol bwclthoc lor special Job* in mall place w.

Short dead twigs for nests, glued by the swift’s saliva to the inside of chimneys, are collected while the birds are in twittering flight. The birds break off these tiny twigs with their feet when they pass over trees. Only recently has it been proved that the cigar-shaped birds actually mate in flight. Swifts are indeed, lords of the air. Chimney Swifts disappear from the Virginia sky in October. Where do they spend the winter months? This question perplexed swift-watching ornithologists long after the I would like to express my sincere appreciation to^s I my family and friends for their many acts of kind- ^ | ness and prayers during the recent illness and death of my father, Solomon E. Bruce. Also thank you to the , Reverends John Burke, Forrest Freeman, and Warren Roy. And to David Clangan, Richard McNear, the Washington Volunteer Rescue Squad and Maddox Funeral Home. Eleanor D. Pullen and Family wintering grounds of other long-distance migrants was known. After all, European and American Ornithologists had been observing and collecting birds in the great forests of Central and South America for two hundred years. Where did the twinkling flight of Chimney Swifts take them when they left the United States? It was not until the 1940’s that this question was finally answered. Thousands of Chimney Swifts were banded with numbered aluminum bands early in this centuiy. In just one year — 1939 — 712,623 birds were captured and banded. Much was learned. Swifts return of the same chimney to nest year after year. In tomado-like funnels, they streamed by the thousands into the same chimney to spend the night during migration. One swift was caught re-peatedly for nine years. After the South American winter territory was finally discovered, it was estimated that the bird had traveled 1,350,000 miles in its lifetime. In 1944 a dramatic event occurred along the Yanayacu River in Peru. An Indian appeared at a mission station in the jungle with a necklace of shiny bird bands. After convincing the Indian that the bands were not messages from PKfSIMS Saturday, July 12 Rick Henderson Away P. m-\t to Mountciinsirte M.n Ki-I 540-987-3162 I Blue Moon Cafe j the gods, the Priest in charge obtained the bird bands and the information that they had been taken from a cave where the birds roosted at night. At last the mystery was no longer a mystery; the winter quarters of the Chimney Swift was known. Though Chimney Swifts nest throughout the United States and southern Canada, all spend the winter in a restricted area in the Amazon Basin of Peru. Swifts originally nested by the thousands in great hollow trees that existed in American forests before the coming of white men. As these trees were removed, houses with chimneys were built. Chimney Swifts quickly adapted. Now they are declining as chimneys are smaller and many are lined with metal to which swifts cannot cling. In Virginia, however, old houses are cherished. These offer nesting and roosting sites for swifts. The cluttering notes of swifts in chimneys are as reassuring as the soft liquid notes of Purple Martins with which swifts share the summer sky. .EXCAVATING Division of Lace Trucking & Equipment Inc.

In other school systems her position is referred to as school social worker. She primarily did psychosocial evaluations for children who were being considered for enrollment in the special education program. In 1985, Bertha began to search for ways to provide that missing something she felt she needed to give her clients, to make herself a more complete counselor. Her search led her to a workshop at Seven Oaks given by Barbara Brennan, a nationally recognized author and practitioner of Reiki. Reiki she feels is simply another tool to help her better assess her clients and their needs. She said some practition ers of Reiki can actually see the ebb and flow of a person’s energy. It is a study of how energy flows from a person and the vibrations that energy gives off. She admits she cannot see it but that she can get a sense for what is happening with the energy. She specializes in relationship counseling and has held many workshops for couples and families and for families or spouses of brain injured people. This fall she plans to hold a workshop for families of Alzhiemer’s victims. The workshop will focus on the emotional content that results from dealing with the special problems inherent in the course of the disease. Bertha may be contacted at the center, 978-7204. More than just cows By Naomi Smoot News Contributing Writer Most associate 4-H farm shows with livestock but more is involved. For instance Carly and Devin Day are showing a total of 70 crafts. Devin, 9, made 45 of these entries. Among her favorites are a coin collection, tie-dyed T-shirt and rabbit. Carly created 25 items including a painted Tshirt, stuffed monkey, and crayon drawing. So why did the sisters choose crafts and not livestock? “We don’t have that much land!” Carly, 5, said, “and crafts are fun.” Devin agrees. “I like crafts because your mind can make up creative stuff and it really makes you happy to see what you make,” she said. The girls say they work on their entries all year long, at camp, Cloverbud meetings, home and events at the beach. Their mother, extension agent Hazel Zinn Day is happy with her children’s efforts. “I’m very proud of the hard work they’ve done. I wish more people would join 4-H and be in the farm shows. It’s a very important part of a child’s life. It was in mine.” “Where else can you be rewarded for different types of work on different levels at one time? You can’t do it at school! You can’t do it at church! I mean you can’t go to school with a rabbit or a cow or a clown drawing and get recognition for it but you can through 4-H,” she said. That’s why she encouraged her children to join and get the same benefits she’s seen in her own life thanks to the program. “My mom talked to me about it when I was really little. 4-H is fun,” Devin smiled. Hazel thinks it “builds learning skills and self esteem by giving rewards for hard work well done.” Hypnotherapy With Optional Bodywork Facilitated by Justin Henderson, C.Ht, A.P.P.

Depending on who you talk to, the Fourth of July festival was either great, or not so great. Some local restaurants had tables full all day. Others had few customers. The parking fees got out of hand when different prices were charged for local residents or those from out of town and when prices were charged for lots the town was being let use free. Those who were nice enough to donate the lots free were never informed. Quite a few people have said there were not nearly as many people here this year as in previous years. Others have said, “Good! We don’t want all those people here anyway.” Certainly the celebrations in Culpeper, at Great Meadow, Airlie and in Luray had something to do with that and will no doubt continue to do so. Finally, there’s something about listening to a fan* tastic band play “Your A Grand Ole’ Flag” as a repre; sentation of the Stars and Stripes bums brightly into ' the night air, or your child holding tightly to your . hand amid thousands of people all singing the nation* al anthem, that really gets to you where you live. And the rest hardly seems to matter at all. New policy good * The state’s new policy on domestic violence should * have everyone standing up and cheering. Finally law I enforcement officials and courts have a way to put * bite into the cases being prosecuted for domestic vio- lence. Hopefully, people will begin to wake up and find : other ways to resolve their problems and differences besides beating the devil out of someone else. And, maybe, it will help victims step up in court, tell the truth and put a stop to letting it continue. iiiii The Time Machine From the Rappahannock News back when 30 Years Ago Thursday, July 6, 1967 1 delegation from Madison and Rappahannock JL AjCounties met in the offices of Senator Harry F. Byrd Jr., last Thursday, by appointment, together with Rep. John O. Marsh who made a special effort to be present, for discussion of the proposed Wilderness Area in Shenandoah National Park. Twenty-one 4-H’ers of Rappahannock County are spending this week at Holiday Lake 4-H Camp in Appomattox. A plea for Virginia farm families to observe safety precautions came today from G.D. Kite, extension agricultural engineer at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg. Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman today announced U.S. export targets of 750 million bushels of wheat from both 1967 and 1968 crops. 25 Years Ago Thursday, July 6, 1972 A unique program on the L\ grounds of Avon Hall •A ^preceded the brilliant display of fireworks which climaxed the Independence Day activities Tuesday in the Town of Washington. Nancy Caroline Doub and Ronald Lee Friend exchanged wedding vows in a double ring ceremony on Saturday, June 24, 1972 at the Amissville United Methodist Church. The Rev. Malcolm P. Maples has accepted the pastorate of Washington, Flint Hill, Sperryville and Willis Chapel Methodist churches and arrived at the parsonage in Flint Hill Thursday to assume his duties. His last charge was at Schuyler, Va. where he served six years. Wheat producers will receive $1.28 per bushel in preliminary payment on their crop, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced. ypsy moths, the voracious insects that strip whole forests of trees in a matter of days, have established base camps in Rappahannock County. Ronald Frazier, who is seeking election to the Board of Supervisors representing Jackson District, said that he sees one of the county’s largest problems as its budget, and the struggle each year to find the necessary money to keep the county going. Looking for help on enforcing the zoning ordinance’s prohibition against accumulating inoperable cars and trucks, zoning administrator John McCarthy has discovered a state program which pays $50 for every junked vehicle certified as demolished. Students who have obtained summer employment should be aware of tax law changes affecting them when they complete the Form W-4 for tax withholding, the Internal Revenue Service cautioned recently. 10 Year Ago Thursday, July 9, 1987 Dismayed over fees To the Editor: I am a member of the congregation of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington and was totally dismayed and enraged when I saw the sign posted at the entrance to our parking lot in Washington on July 4 — “Handicapped Parking, $5, $2 for Rappahannock Residents". The Vestry of Trinity was approached about using our parking lot for handicapped parking and we gave permission. No mention was made of parking fees. I worked at the church all day on the Fourth and did not see the sign or I would have removed it immediately. I know the congregation of Trinity joins me in offering sincere apologies for this unfortunate act and I apologize to all those who were charged for the use of our parking lot. I especially apologize to those who would have liked to use the parking facilities but would not or could not afford the fee. Trinity Episcopal Church provides free use of the parking lot to anyone having business in the town as well as our worship and fellowship facilities. This is part of our outreach program and goes along with other civic minded groups and individuals who provide free services and space for the July 4 celebration not the least of which is Mr. William Carrigan and the use of his beautiful home for the fireworks display. The celebration of our nation’s birthday should not provide a means for certain groups to take advantage of our less fortunate citizens. In the future, and I feel the congregation of Trinity will approve, the parking lot will be available for handicapped parking during the July 4 celebration free of charge. By this letter, I challenge the recipients of the parking fees realized on the Fourth to make a donation to the Social Services Department of Rappahannock County in the amount of DOUBLE the amount of the fees. This will not help those denied access to the festivities, but may help others in their eveiyday lives. JAMES C. BANE JR. Sperryville Happy about Hong Kong lb the Editor: A resident “old China hand” I, too, rejoice at the return of Hong Kong to the tight embrace of the motherland. Some observers believe China recognizes the value of a golden-egg-laying goose, and will preserve Hong Kong’s special qualities under the rubric “one country, two systems.” Hong Kong would thus be allowed to influence development of China in Hong Konglike directions. Other observers believe China’s current leadership cannot accept unchallenged the incorporation of 6.5 million Chinese who enjoy rights and privileges far greater than those of their mainland compatriots. Indeed, Beijing has already begun to cut Hong Kong down to size. The golden goose appears fated to become a Beijing duck. The United States, which has assumed a protectionist role for the Hong Kong system, will be obliged to protest Beijing’s dismantling of that system. This will add a recurrent irritant to the administration’s China policy. So be it. American pressures on Beijing help insure evolution of a more representative Chinese leadership. Such as leadership will better provide for eagle and dragon to find common cause. Then all of us, whether in Washington, D.C. or Washington, Va., can be more confident of the future. In any case, former British Hong Kong’s ultimate contributions will be to help force change for the better on changing China. NORMAN GETSINGER Flint Hill Auxiliary says thanks To the Editor: The Washington Ladies Auxiliary would like to thank the people in the community for their support and donations to the thrift shop and bake sales. By helping the Auxiliary you have made it possible for us to make a donation to the Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue, Inc. of $48,181.31 toward the purchase of the new Luveme fire truck that will be arriving in July for the community. The auxiliary had their July 4 bake sale at the thrift shop during the festivities. Donations for this event were greatly appreciated. Anyone wishing to become a member of the Auxiliary is welcome. Meetings are held bi-monthly. Next meeting Aug. 12, 7 p.m. The Auxiliary and Fife Company sincerely appreciate your support and donations that you have made. WASHINGTON LADIES AUXILIARY Thanks to all ‘Team’ helpers To the Editor: In recognition of the good people in Rappahannock, I would like to say thanks to everyone who helped Monday evening June 23. My name is Brooks. I was trying to ride a horse, that when mounted wanted to walk on his hind legs. My first attempts at walking upright as a baby resulted in falling on my bottom nine out of 10 times. This beast of burden decided to try this. I remember sliding down his back and landing on my bottom. When he realized that he too was falling, he decided to use me to cushion his fall. GREAT FOR THE HORSE! Bad for the person my daughter calls Our Rappahannock Heritage P Rappahannock News Staff Photo/CARL EBORN Fields of wheat, like this one at Jim Massie’s Meadow Grove Farm, are a common sight these days. County farmers are busy cutting wheat now. Gin!

My many thanks to Debbie Welch, Mark Albaugh, Jason Kuykendall, my wife Julie and others, who responded to my pleas for someone to call 911. Within seconds Debbie and Julie ran to the car phone to call 911. Mark and my-eon Jason were trying to keep ihe from trying to get up, when someone said, “I don’t think you want to buy that horse.” At this point there are a million thoughts that race through your mind. It’s broken? Whats broken? Your body! I could almost say I saw that horse smile. Faint voices sounded all around me as Mark and Jason tried to keep me as still as possible until the rescue unit arrived. Images, like how many types of clover are in front of me in the ring, are my underwear clean, should I cut the grass tomorrow, went through my mind. Meanwhile, Debbie had set the clock in motion when she gave the information to 911 and the Flint JJill Volunteer Rescue Squad. The “real team” was oh'die way. Ordinary people we, see day to day, out cutting grass or up at Settles shooting the breeze, who sometimes casually wave when passing on the road, the real team thqt^is called on any time of day'-or night. Real people who have taken countless hours of training in order to help people like you and me when we "-call them. . You know we live in the age of movies and videos and it seems that in the movies the impossible can always be achieved. A flick of the remote or of the channel and you see such fictional heros. Now I was looking for the team, the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company. Before the thought 6p)Ulcl even come to mind they were pulling up to the horse bam, this team of regular people, turned into finely trained professionals. With precision movements each person took aim at the task before therti. Questions were asked answers received, stethoscopes and blood pressure kits were produced. Within minutes I was being loaded for transport. When you hurt every second seems like a minute. Yet before I could really comprehend what was taking place, the driver was telling me be would try to make my ride as comfortable as possible. We were on our ..way. Radio communication jyvas constant between hospital and Charlotte, the driver, constantly relayed road'conditions up ahead. Next thing I knew we were arriving at the hospital; The rest of the night waa a long one, but I had been ever so gently placed in the bands of those who repair the fragile creatures that we are. I want to extend my most grateful and sincere thanks to all who helped to get me, qn a speedy recovery, and most of all, Debbie and Julie for tH'eir calm in contacting 911. 1 u Thanks to Mark and Jason for keeping me comfortable and keeping me from moving around until the rescue unit could arrive. And, thank you to the Flint Hill Volunteer Rescue Squad, especially Charlotte Tummeyer, the crew that was working with her, “The TfeanT and the many doctors, nurges, and assistants who took over my care. VERNON ‘BROOKS’ OTERO Flint Hill Rural legacy, law here? » lb the Editor: An article in The Washington Post recently, June 39, listed the recent laws passed by Maryland State Legislature, includes the following: “The ‘Rural Legacy’ program which will provide money 2to buy parcels of land to protect from development.” Is it then not just a dream that our own Virginia Legislature might pass such a law? And would some of the provided money then be available-to us as the means of keeping our mountains as pristine as, for instance, the Alps of Switzerland? : Rappahannock Planning Commissioners, are you listening?

iAU Stars win tournament itor! - M‘ By Hodge Miixer Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Rappahannock County’s n njne and tinder All Star baseball team traveled to Orange ’* Couhty for a tournament on " June 28 and 29. They finished ^ the tournament with a three %in one lose record to finish in top spot. ‘ ” The team consisted of the following players: Jacob Dod£ ibh, Michael Ellis, James Henze, Danny Holden, Jason 'T Jenkins, James Lofton, Ad3/ dison Miller, Austin Miller, 1*; W11 Miller, Nick Raiford, Alex Sharp, Karl Thornhill, Ryder ^Williams, and 'Kathryn Wind^"ttfiller. The team was coached tnby Danny Raiford, Bill Ellis, and Frank Williams. -f " 1 From the onset it looked ^ tough for our team as confu'"' sion ruled the tournament. On ^'Saturday the team arrived at *xS'&.m. for a supposed 10 a.m. game, only to find out they a' had to wait until noon to play. 't,"Tbe confusion continued as Rappahannock’s team was “' told the winner of that game "' "didn’t play until the following liudhy. After winning the first game in high heat and humidity Rappahannock was informed that they would have ^to play again at 3 p.m. ^ Rappahannock’s first game played against Orange ^‘ tehm. Rappahannock won that mi: t , game 11-5 in 5 1/2 innings. Alex Sharp lead the hitting attack with three base hits, Jason Jenkins had two base hits, and James Lofton, Nick Raiford, Michael Ellis and Karl Thornhill had one base hit each. Jason Jenkins recorded the win striking out 15 batters, while giving up only three hits. The second game of the day had Rappahannock playing Spotsylvania. The heat and humidity took it’s toll on the Rappahannock team as they lost that game 21-8 in four innings. Rappahannock out hit Spotsylvania six to four but had trouble throwing strikes. Alex Sharp, Jason Jenkins, and Will Miller each had two hits in the losing effort. On Sunday Rappahannock played with great pride and determination staging a seemingly impossible rally to win 25-19 against Orange. Once again Rappahannock had trouble throwing strikes early in the game and trailed 18-6 after three innings. In the fourth inning Rappahannock scored 15 runs and cruised to the final margin of victory. Jason Jenkins and Alex Sharp lead the hitting attack with four hits each; Jacob Dodson had two hits; Danny Holden, James Lofton, Will Miller, and Nick Raiford had one hit each. Jacob Dodson had seven, strikeouts in three innings of relief pitching to close the door on Orange. Rappahannock’s second game on Sunday was against Spotsylvania Despite playing their fourth game in two days of high heat and humidity Rappahannock prevailed 14-0. The Rappahannock bats were active collecting 13 hits. Will Miller lead the hitting attack with three base hits; Jacob Dodson, James Henze and Jason Jenkins each had two hits; Danny Holden,James Lofton, Nick Raiford, and Alex Sharp had one hit each. Jason Jenkins pitched a great four inning, one hit shutout while recording eight strikeouts. The entire county should be proud of this fine young group of baseball players as the odds were stacked against them from the beginning. Rappahannock finished the tournament with a 3-1 record, Spotsylvania’s record was 1-1, and Orange was 0-2. Rappahannock’s final victory again Spotsylvania would have forced a fifth game for Rappahannock to be played on the following Wednesday, but Spotsylvania had seen enough of this team and did not want to play a third game |Swim team having strong season -o y": ' By Mary Beth Martin ;i0»(* i Rappahannock News Staff Writer The South Wales Swim 3team won all but one of its liy meets in 1996.

Any swim team is a commitment in time with practices for an hour or more each morning, the younger children swim at 7 a.m. and the older at 8 a.m. The meets last for 4 or 5 hours with at least one each week. The rewards are worth it agree such parents such as Patty Metcalfe of Flint Hill whose children have been on the team since 1985. She says, “It’s the exercise, but more appealing is the sporting attitude of the South Wales Whales. They have always been more interested in having a good time than in simply winning. It has been a positive experience for my children. The younger ones idolize the older swimmers and the older ones watch over the younger ones by leading them to their places at the meets and braiding their hair.” Elizabeth Chludzinski of Warrenton who has been a dedicated swim parent for six years thinks it provides structure during the summer and the discipline of swimming is good. It keeps her daughters in shape for other sports. She says it is something physical they can do all their lives. This is the first year Japet Dunn of Amissville has her children in the swim team and she like the improvement in their stamina and strokes. “It is like a big, supportive family. We cheer each other on. We do it for the fun,” says Candace Blaine of Warrenton who has been involved for six years.

Try backyard stewardship by Barry S. Miller Ed/Infor. Technician CSWCD Mother Teresa said, “We can do not great things; only small things with great love. Creating a sustainable environment is a task that challenges everyone. It is sometimes presented as an overwhelming set of problems such as global population pressures climate change, or massive air pollution. People can become discouraged and wonder if they can make a difference. People talk about the little things individuals can do to make a difference, and when most of what they do is positive instead of negative, the effect is positive. Just as every person has a responsibility for stewardship, each also has a readymade place that needs their help — the place where they live and work. This can mean an urban area or a farmsted in a rural setting. If each of us takes care of our immediate surroundings, then all environments will be more healthy and sustainable. Thus, the challenge becomes one of “backyard stewardship.” Each individual, each family, and each community can practice backyard stewardship by caring for the environment that they touch. This includes the window box on a patio of an apartment complex, the tenth of an acre homestead, the suburban backyard, or the large open spaces of a rural community. Each success extends far beyond your backyard. When each individuals’ small place is healthy, productive, and sustainable, then health extends to the neighborhood, the region, the continent, and the world. While it is difficult to affect the whole world, individuals can make their own place an example of good stewardship and use their actions to inspire others to similar choices. If that succeeds, then that one person has not only benefited the environment, but has also helped instill responsible stewardship value in others. Backyard stewardship is a practical, effective method of putting positive images and values into action. The Culpeper Soil & Water Conservation District (Culpeper, Greene, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties) invites you and your neighbors to practice “Backyard Stewardship.” Our office 825-8591, would appreciate an opportunity to suggest ways to improve upon your Backyard Stewardship. Cops From Page A1 depending on the situation and whether or not the person is a repeat offender. The penalties for those convicted of domestic violence have also gotten stiffen Those convicted will not be allowed to possess a fire arm in the state. A person convicted three times for domestic violence will be guilty of a Class VI felony. “One thing it’s geared to is to make people realize that domestic violence is not going to be tolerated,” said Sheriff Settle. “It’s to get their attention to go and get help and resolve their problems.” The local sheriff’s office sent officers to get special training about these new policies and how to implement them. Officers will also have a larger and more intensive report to fill out on each incident. In other police business: Sheriff Settle re ported that a rash of reports of mailbox vandalism and theft of signs have come in during the last several weeks. The reports are centered in the areas of Flint Hill and the Tbwn of Washington for the most part and all are under investigation. Sheriff Settle said the department sees a lot of this kind of crime during the summer months. He said they usually are able to find out who committed the crimes. A case of aggravated assault, which involved two Fauquier County men and which was turned over to that county, was reported on June 27. The incident took placenear the county line in Huntly. Lewis Cameron, who had been drinking, was shot in the foot by Jeffrey Costello. The men were apparently friends who got into an argument and the gun discharged mistakenly. The shooting occurred in the car belonging to Mr. Cameron. He was shot with a .22 caliber pistol and transported to Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal. The case was turned over to Fauquier and Mr. Costello was cooperative with authorities. Damage to property and a simple assault which occurred in Flint Hill on June 27 are still under investigation. Chris Lillard was driving home on Route 641 when something hit his windshield and broke it. That was reported and deputies investigated but an hour later he called back saying he’d been assaulted. Deputies returned to his home. Mr. Lillard said his vehicle, which was hit in front of his neighbors house, was purposely damaged by his neighbor. He was questioned by an individual from the neighbors house after police left and went over to confront the neighbor after police left, there was an argument and he was allegedly assaulted at his home. A misdemeanor theft took place on June 28 in Chester Gap area is also still under investigation. Nelson Williams who lives on Route 610 called the sheriff’s office and reported his house key missing. Several weeks prior he had reported his credit card missing. He also reported that he was missing $32 and a watch valued at $100. A wallef had been turned into the sheriff’s department containing his credit card and key among other things, but the wallet was not his. The police have a suspect and are pursuing the investigation. On July 1, Lindsay Eastham of Flint Hill, reported a chain saw and Snapper mower missing. The incident is under investigation and serial numbers are being obtained.
