**C011 120th Year ... No. 46 Phone (540)675-3338 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12,1997 Times Community Newspapers 50 cents Haught Sentenced to a year By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer Eugenia Lynne Haught, who was arrested as an accessory after the fact in connection with disposal of evidence in the recent breaking and entering and grand larceny at the Rappahannock Athletic Association’s buildings at Stuart Field, was sentenced Tuesday, Nov. 4, in Rappahannock General District Court. The Rappahannock County SherifFs Office arrested Haught on Sept. 17 sifter finding items taken from the RAA buildings at her house. She was released on $2,500 bond pending trial. Haught was convicted of aiding and abetting and sentenced to 12 months in jail, with 11 months and 22 days suspended. She was fined $100 and $50 court costs. It was agreed that she would be able to serve her jail time on weekends beginning Nov. 8 and on the weekends of Nov. 15, 22 and 29. She will also be monitored for good behavior by CDI as a special condition of her sentence. The charges against Haught stemmed from an incident of arson, breaking and entering and larceny at Stuart Field in Amissville. David Paul McQuillan V, who has been sentenced in the case, and another juvenile, broke into, stole items from and lit fires in buildings at Stuart Field. They said the fires were stomped out but they re-ignited after the teenagers left. See HAUGHT, Page A6 Firefighters have voice t*' By Galen C. McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer Paul Poling of Amissville is a familiar face in the halls of state government. Representing the Rappahannock County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association (RCVFRA), he is the organization’s eyes and ears on legislative and proponent committees in Richmond. Laws affecting firefighters and rescue workers range from legislation concerning standard operation of the vehicles, stations, and safety equipment, to firefighter benefits and compensation, to criminal acts, such as false alarms, 'impersonating public safety personnel, committing arson, or bombings.

By Galen C. McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer General firearms season for deer hunting opens Monday, Nov. 17. High-powered rifles, bows and muzzle-loading weapons may be used to take deer until the season closes on Jan. 3, 1998. Crossbows may be used only by disabled hunters hunting on private property. Black bear hunting firearms season opens Nov. 24 and also closes Jan. 3. Last year, 14 eastern black bears were killed in Rappahannock. A total of 612 were taken in the state. Hunters may hunt from one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset. No hunting is permitted on Sundays or in any national park in Virginia. Doe season Throughout the season, special days are set aside for hunting antlerless deer, bbth does and “button bucks,” first year male fawns. This year’s “doe season,” or “doe days” as they are commonly called, are the first and second Saturdays and the last 12 days of the general firearms hunting season. Blaze Orange Required All hunters must wear a blaze orange hat, blaze orange upper body clothing, or a large (at least 100 square inches) solid blaze orange patch at shoulder level. The material must be clearly visible from all directions. Hunter Education Certificates With few exceptions, hunters must purchase and carry a hunting license. All hunters aged 12-15, and hunters 16 years or older who have never been issued a hunting license before, must present a hunter education certificate in order to purchase a hunting license. The last hunter education class to be offered in this area will be taught by John Dodson on Dec. 15 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Virginia Department of Transportation building in Culpeper on U.S. 15 South. There is no charge but you must preregister, call 543-2070. Hunting Licenses For the past several years, hunting license purchases throughout the state have been declining. State wildlife biologist Dan Lovelace attributes this trend to more restricted access to the limited land available. Licensing fees vary depending on the age and residency of the hunter, the weapon(s) being used, the period of time covered, and whether or not the hunter is handicapped. Lifetime licenses are available for both juniors (under age 12) and adults. Special stamps or permits may also apply. Individuals who hunt only on their own property do not need to purchase hunting licenses. Neither do their spouses, children See HUNTING, Page A6 Wolf working to preserve human rights By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer Citizens of the 10th District may not realize that Frank Wolf, their U.S. Congressman, is recognized as an international leader in human rights and religious freedom. Wolf has made 31 trips to foreign counties in the past 15 years, either to third world countries such as Ethiopia, Chechnya, Romania and Sudan or to European cities hosting human rights conferences. He has tried to make penalties more severe against businesses who know they are importing prison-made products. In his office, Wolf keeps golf socks made by prisoners from the 1989 Tiananmen Square Demonstration, a memento He gathered off a clothesline at the infamous Bering Prison Number One. Background Wolf, who has no previous background in human rights, attended Georgetown Law School, was employed by the Department of the Interior, worked on “the Hill” and practiced administrative law for a short while representing Gerber Baby Food and John Deere companies. He was elected 10th District Congressman in 1980 and is on the Appropriations, Transportation and Treasury, Postal Service and General Government Committees. At a recent rally at the post office in Washington, Sheila Sweet, Rappahannock resident and world traveler, thanked Wolf for his humanitarian efforts. Soon after she said he sent her a copy of his Tibetan report to Congress. Walter Longyear, chairman of the Rappahannock Republican Party, said that Wolf is one of the least wealthy members of Congress. His commitment to human rights extends to his family. Wolfs five children have all gone individually on international mission trips, one teaching in Romania for a year. - . Human Rights Wolf, 58, said his introduction to human rights and religious persecution issues began in 1984 when he was campaigning in Photo by Charles E.White YOUNG VICTIM: A little boy stares out at the world from the remains of a monastery near Lhasa. Fairfax County. A woman with a group called World Vision asked him if he would like to go to Ethiopia to see the famine. He courteously said he would, but later World Vision invited him to go. “Congressman Hall (D), probably my best friend in Congress, just came back and he urged me to go,” said Wolf. What he saw changed his life. Instead of staying in the cities, Wolf hitched a ride with the BBC crew and was forced to stay at a camp for several days due to rain, living with the workers and witnessing the starvation. Another trip which was equally unnerving was in 1985 when Wolf, a Presbyterian, saw churches razed in Romania. Entpr into some countries, like southern Sudan in 1993, was denied to Congressmen, so he traveled by way of Kenya, hired a private plane and landed in a field in the countryside where he was met by a relief agency. . Tibet Wolf traveled in Tibet from August 9 to 13 this year and since the Chinese government prohibits U.S. Congressmen entering Tibet, he traveled as a private citizen. Accompanying were Charles White, his Congressional aide, and an American who spoke fluent Tibetan. ’ They discussed their safety before they entered Tibet and they had reason to be con* ceraed considering the record of the Chinese government. Building jails is a big industry in Tibet. Wolf joked he wasn’t concerned for himself, but he wasn’t sure what the Chinese would have done with White.. See WOLF, Page A$

Photos by Charles E. White ON A MISSION: Congressman Frank Wolf speaks with a monk in the remains of a monastery in the countryside outside Lhasa. Wolf From page A1 The trio flew from Karachi, India to Katmandu, Nepal and then on a Chinese airline to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. Wolf said, “It’s not only off the beaten path, in Tibet there is no path.” The military is all over Tibet, cameras monitor the streets from rooftops. It is a police state, he added. They stayed several days in Lhasa and one day went 50 to 60 kilometers into the countryside to visit monasteries and the remains of some. With the help of his translator Wolf was able to converse with local Tibetans, who risked their safety to speak to him. Every single Tibetan he spoke with expressed support for the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and political leader who fled to India on horseback in the 1959. A Tibetan is thrown in jail for even possessing a picture of the Dalai Lama, but still they took out pictures and showed them to Wolf. The Chinese government is brutal, punishing with beatings and jailings if a Tibetan says “Long live Tibet,” or “Long live the Dalai Lama.” Wolf said he was impressed by the Tibetans’ gentle, non-violent manner. China invaded Tibet in the early 1950s and found rich deposits of oil, coal, and other minerals in the mountains in the northeast in 1957. Large numbers of Chinese began to locate in Tibet and now most jobs and businesses are in the hands of the Chinese. Lhasa is a Chinese city now with the Tibetans being squeezed into smaller and smaller enclaves. The Chinese government is locating hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese into Tibet and there are now more Chinese than Tibetans in Lhasa. The signs on the buildings are in huge Chinese letters with small Chinese letters underneath. When young Tibetan children are old enough to attend school they are often taken from their parents and sent to China to be raised, so that they think of themselves as Chinese not Tibetan. Before long the culture, language and people will be gone and it will just be anoth Supervisors address other issues By Jan LaValley 1 Rappahannock News Staff Writer 1 In addition to its well attended evening session on the Six Year Secondary Road Plan (reported on in last week’s edition of the Rappahannock News) the , Rappahannock Board of Supervisors addressed other county concerns. During its afternoon session the board’s agenda included: • • A report by Bob Dennis, chair of the Board of Assessors, on the current reassessment (also included in last week’s article). Dennis recommended the board try to return two or three members of the Board of Assessors each time an assessment is done to because their perspective is invaluable in providing guidance to the other members of the board. In addition, he said the board was amazed at the total mileage in private roads in the county and how inaccessible many of those roads are to any type of emergency vehicle. He suggested the county look into what could be a potential problem. • Dr. David Gangel, superintendent of schools, spoke to the board about several issues concerning the county’s schools. He said the Rappahannock School Board would like to get the supervisors opinion about limiting out-of-county students. Gangel said the school board is looking at the problem of the leaky roof over the Rappahannock High School shop. They are also continuing to deal with the contractors about the leaking roof over the auditorium at the Rappahannock Elementary School (which has been leaking since it was put on over a year ago). He said the school board is looking at the idea of performance contracting and other issues of concern such as asbestos abatement, boiler replacement, energy savings repairs to offset capitol costs I and other roof and restroom ' renovation. • The board was advised by County Administrator John McCarthy that Judge Shore Robertson will interview candi! dates for appointment to the Board of Equalization of Real I Estate Assessments on Nov. 20 i at 9 a.m. in the courtroom at the Rappahannock County court1 house. • Barbara Williams of the Sperryville Historic District Committee addressed the board on the progress toward getting sinage up in the Sperryville Historic District. She said the Virginia Department of Transportation will provide the three brown historic marker signs but the funds for the cast iron marker with the district history on it must to be raised. That marker will cost $1,100. They have raised $400 to $500 already and would appreciate any help from citizens in attaining their goal. • McCarthy advised the board on the need for office t space for the county and said he had broken down the problem into three areas: the availability of county-owned space; the potential for additions and/or new construction on county-owned land; and the availability and cost of privately owned space and/or privately owned property. The board discussed each area and McCarthy said he wanted the board to consider the issue before it becomes an issue, noting the growing need for space in the offices of the treasurer and the Commissioner of Revenue. • The landfill report was made and it was noted that approval for closure of cells one and two has been approved, cell three is functioning efficiently and the plans for constructing cell four, per the county’s request, are being considered. • In an update on the barking dog issue, Don Audette of Sperryville, did some checking on the Internet and provided the board with some interesting possible solutions to the problem. One solution, which the board found interesting, involves a newly developed device which is installed in two places on the outside of a kennel and emits an ultrasonic sound which activates when dogs bark. The dogs hear it, although it’s undetectable to human ears, and they stop barking to listen to it. It has been used in kennels around the U.S. and seems to be effective and humane. McCarthy will talk to the animal shelter staff concerning thte device. • McCarthy received a complaint on what was found to be an unsafe structure by Rappahannock Building Inspector Richie Burke. The structure is an unoccupied house on a property in Rappahannock Lakes owned JENKINS ORCHARDS Quality Fruit SELECT YOUR OWN Apples: Red Delictus. Golden Delicious, Stavman.

Williams. The board will hold a public hearing on the structure at its December meeting. • Jim Gannon, of. Castleton, was appointed to fill the position held by Roberta Anderson on the Library Board/ whose term expires next month. John McCarthy was re-appointed to his position on the board. • In executive session the board discussed then came out and adopted a resolution to move ahead with the purchase of the Armentrout property. The closing took place last week. The board has not yet stated a purpose for the property which is adjacent to the school property owned by the county. The purchase price was $4,000 per acre for 25 acres and with closing cost the purchase will total about $106,000. • The FCC has issued a proposed rule which would preempt local zoning authori ty over television and radio broadcast towers. County Attorney Peter Luke and McCarthy will attend a conference about the issue and see how it is affecting other jurisdictions. • A request by the board for a drought disaster assistance from the state has been forwarded by Governor George Allen to J. Carlton Courter III, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and asked him to coordinate with the USDA and the Virginia Department of Emergency Services to complete a crop damage assessment report. • McCarthy reported to the board that due to the timely manner in which County Treasurer Frances Foster handled the sale of the Trigon stock they avoided the crash of the stock market and netted $224,567, a much better price than they would have gotten.

Monasteries, the center of Tibetan religious and political life, are being systematically destroyed. Of the 600 historic building in Lhasa, 356 have been destroyed, 15 of them in July. “Seven Years in Tibet,” now in theatres, was filmed in South America, but Wolf said it looked exactly like the Tibetan plateau. He thought they did an excellent job recreating Tibet as it use to be. Tibet has a mystical, magical appeal, said Wolf, and the Tibetans ought to have their freedom and independence. One Tibetan woman told Wolf that when the West puts the pressure on, things loosen up. The recent visit by Chinese president, Jiang Zemin, brought much attention to Tibet, said Wolf. There are 5.5 million Tibetans which are in danger from 1.2 billion Chinese. China has stepped out and squashed Tibet, he said. Wolf was disappointed that Zemin was honored with a state dinner at the White House. It is something the Chinese wanted badly (even ordering the size of dinner plate they wanted used.) Wolf said the Chinese government is doing so many atrocious things: there are more gulags in China than ever because they make cheap items for export; an estimated 40 ■ million Chinese Christians must meet in underground churches and there are more Christians in prison there than in any other country; Catholic priests, a bishop and a protestant minister are currently in Chinese prisons for their faith; the Chinese are selling weapons to Iran; and Chinese prisoners are being harvested for organ transplants, “it’s like shopping for a Christmas tree,” Wolf said. Although illegal, Americans and Europeans can buy a kidney for transplant for $30,000. They are matched up with a guaranteed healthy donor that matches tissue and blood type. The prisoners are shot and the organs are sent immediately to a hospital that performs the transplant. The money is reportedly given to the People’s Liberation Army. Even petty theft is considered a crime punishable by death. There is often less than 24 hours between the time a death sentence is handed down and the prisoner is executed and there is no appeal, said Wolf. Far more prisoners are executed in China than in any other country. H.R. 2431 Wolf has a lot to say about persecution by the Chinese government and about how he thinks the U.S. government needs to treat China. He is sponsoring a bill (H.R. 2431) which is called, the “Freedom From Religious Persecution Act of 1997.” The U.S. government would recognize the religious persecution of all faiths. An Office of Religious Persecution Monitoring is proposed which would report to Congress annually and would impose sanctions against countries which have recognized human rights violations. Wolf believes the votes are available for the bill’s passage through Congress and he hopes it will reach the floor soon. The bill is supported by the U.S. Catholic Conference and Evangelicals for Social Action, which Wolf cited as a moderate evangelical group. Carl Coon, Woodville resident and former Ambassador to Nepal, visited Tibet in 1993 and compared it to Hitler’s holocaust. Still he said he opposes H.R. 2431 on the grounds that it violates separation of church and state. It is now estimated (although statistics are not verifiable) that one Tibetan in six has been murdered.

Fall seedings of cover, like many other conservation practices carried out by farmers at various other times of the year, not only help protect the land against erosion, but also improve the quality of the rural environment, says H.S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee. 25 Years Ago Thursday, Nov. 9, 1972 County Zoning Administrator E.A. McNear declined to approve two plats filed with him until the Board of Supervisors knew what was being requested, and then the supervisors decided it was non of their business. After some further hesitation about being asked to sign a “blank check,” Rappahannock’s Supervisors agreed at their meeting Nov. 2 to include the county in a new mental health care regional alignment. The Fourth Grade 4-H Club at Rappahannock Club at Rappahannock County Elementary School met the third Wednesday in October.

There is no reason in the world why the citizens of Rappahannock County can’t vote on these issues and the majority prevail, whether it’s road issues or anything else. I’m willing to accept a decision, even one I don’t agree with, as long as it’s a majority vote. What I can’t accept is a few people sitting on a board dictating to the rest of the community, without any accountability. Time and time again, people have turned out enmasse against proposals such as the four-laning on U.S. 211 and the Sperryville turn, only to see it approved unanimously by elected officials. What’s the point in going to the public meetings and voicing opinions, when the supervisors are just going to steam roll their own agenda anyway? The arrogance and insensitivity of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors toward their own constituents is really appalling. When will majority rule come to Rappahannock County? C.L.

GERALDINE PAYNE Captain, SVRS Roadwork needed I am a life long resident of Rappahannock County. I have owned land and operated Jenkins Orchards on Route 621, Yancey Road, Woodville, with my son James for many years. From the sale of fruit and garden produce, I have made a good contribution in taxes to the county and state and have a good relationship with the community. For many years Route 621 has been a dangerous dirt secondary road. At first maintained by the farm owners themselves, the road later began to be maintained by the state. Since 1982, improvement of the road has been included in the county’s Six Year Secondary Road Plan, and in 1995 hard-topping of the road started. While some wanted the road improved others were opposed. During this period the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors and The Virginia Department of Transportation made every effort to please both sides. The west end of the project has just been finished this month. The environment was not harmed and the road is now much safer except for a few trees on curves. At the east end of Route 621 near U.S. 522, there has been opposition about changing the rural nature of the road in spite of the many dangerous sections. Safety seems to be of very little concern. At the September meeting all five members of the Board of Supervisors gave the goahead to VDOT to start the improvements on East 621 with bids for the project to be received by Nov. 1. The Oct. 29 edition of the Rappahannock News, includes a letter by a member of the group which opposes the widening of the road. This letter is insulting to VDOT, the board of supervisors and to my son and me. It says that the road improvement is for our personal benefit. I am sure that people who know us do not support untrue and unfair attacks of this kind. I have always had good relations with my neighbors and I hope this will continue. I look forward to the completion of the road work on all of ' Route 621. JERRY JENKINS Woodville Early says . thanks to all I want to thank the citizens ■ of Virginia for their confidence in electing me Virginia’s next Attorney General. I look forward to serving all Virginians over the next | four years and will always strive to prove worthy of your trust and to serve the best interests of the ! Commonwealth. In order to succeed, I will need your support, suggestions and prayers. Cynthia, the children, and I enjoyed our travels across i Virginia during the past year. Your friendship and hospitality warmed our hearts everywhere we went. We’ve spent our lives in Virginia, but we discovered during this campaign just how much we didn’t know about this great Commonwealth and her people. Thank you for bringing us into your neighborhoods, your homes and your lives. You will stay in our hearts forever!

Life’s adversity sparks determination By Lawrence James Rappahannock News Special Writer This is the ninth and final story in a series profiling the staff of the Rappahannock Healing Arts Center. She began life as an Army brat, lived all over the U.S. and Europe and has had many jobs in various fields of endeavor. But life had plans for Sharyn Nicholson that she never would have foreseen. Born in Arlington to a military family, Nicholson became a lobbyist for Reynolds Metals at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. As the assistant to the construction manager building 1-495 she oversaw the work and payroll of the subcontractors. Afterward she became the office manager for one of the subcontractors where she stayed for several years. Seeking a change of pace and locale Nicholson purchased a farm in Culpeper County and settled into a new job as the purchasing manager for a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchiser. In 1978, riding the new wave of information concerning the benefits of natural foods, she opened a small health food store in Culpeper. The business did well and she expanded and added a deli. With continued success, she -*SWCD plans workshop The Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District and the Thomas Jefferson Soil land Water Conservation District will co-sponsor a oneday erosion and sediment control workshop.

Trying to serve healthy food at competitive prices was a challenge and after a good run the restaurant closed. Later, she worked as an investment fund raiser for a local inventor where she gained experience in talking to groups of people. She also worked in a partnership with a local auctioneer. Nicholson said she began to feel “burnt out” in about 1989 and asked her partner to buy her out so she could try something else. In 1990, she faced the first obstacle life was to throw her way. Her daughter, Shana was severely injured in an automobile accident. She remains in a coma to this day. Nicholson said she had premonitions of the accident in a dream and it came true. She stayed in Charlottesville with her daughter for six months and then brought her home. She has cared for her ever since. During the time she spent in Charlottesville with her daughter, Nicholson observed how stressful the physical therapy sessions seemed to be on her daughter. The monitors would go way up whenever the therapist worked on her. It was also at that time that Nicholson met Jane Mullin and learned about laying on of hands and accompanying massage as a method of healing. Mullin agreed to work with Nicholson and her daughter. When she did work with her the monitors showed no stress, Nicholson said. For Nicholson, it was a lifechanging event. She enrolled in school for massage therapy and learned about laying on of hands. She said she wanted to help others and by doing so help herself. Just three years ago, life dealt her yet another devastating blow. She was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent surgery and CARTER GO-KART HEADQUARTERS The HOT BODIES Model 1435 features a 5hp Briggs & '■Stratton engine, a live axle, a ^oombo belt and chain drive ‘ system arid a Custom Bar Cage.

Even though she had the benefit of fully integrated medical help at that time she said she felt more was needed. She turned to homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, body work, nutritional therapy and found it helped her to deal with the effects of the chemotherapy without using additional medication. After the course of the chemo was over her oncologist told her the chemo had not worked and “no matter what you do, you are going to die from this.” “There is nothing like coming face to face with your own demise to enable change and cause you to better understand yourself,” she said. She had periods of feeling better and better and then periods of feeling terrible. She discovered, she said, that feelings of fear were causing the pain and sickness to return. So she worked to control her fear and thereby banish her pain. “I will not live in fear,” she said. Nicholson has studied massage therapy and cranial sacral "therapy as well as laying on of hands, herbal healing and nonordinary states of consciousness through breath. As a result of her life experiences and study, Nicholson has found the path to self-healing and now desires to help others find that same ability. She currently has a program of hands on medicine for children, a 20 minute touch therapy session, which is by appointment on the first liiesday of the month. She is beginning a program of body work for teens this week. It is held from 4 to 6 p.m. For more information on these programs contact the Rappahannock Healing Arts Center at 9877204. 98 years young Rappahannock News Staff Photo/CARL EBORN Sam Caldow Sr., left, celebrated his 98th birthday Saturday with friends and family at his home in Peyton Farms.

Hunting From Page A1 and minor grandchildren. Tenants may hunt without a license on their rented property as long as they carry written permission of the landowner. Residents aged-65 and older may hunt without a license on private property in the county where they live. Children under 12 do not need licenses as long as they are accompanied and directly supervised by an adult who is carrying a valid license. 1996 Deer Harvest Down from 1995 Deer harvest statistics reflect a statewide decline in license purchases. During the entire 1996 deer hunting season, a statewide total of 207,560 deer was reported, with 1,737 from this county. This represents a 9.25 percent decrease from 1995 when 1,914 deer were checked. Transportation of i Firearms Hunters should be aware that different jurisdictions enacted different laws concerning the transportation and handling of firearms. In, Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper, and Madison counties, hunting with a firearm within 100 yards of a road is illegal. Equally important, in these three counties, a hunter in a vehicle cannot transport or possess a loaded firearm on either public or private roads. Hunting on Private Property Hunters must have permission of a landowner to hunt on private property. If the property is posted a hunter must obtain the landowner’s permission in writing. Property may also be posted by painting a two-inch wide vertical mark on posts or trees at a height visible when approaching the property. Deer or Bear Strikes Since Jan. 1, 49 deer-related and three bear-related motor vehicle accidents have been reported to the county sheriff’s office. Thus far, no one has been seriously injured, although some minor injuries and extensive property damage were reported. Early morning and dusk are particularly dangerous times. Heed deer crossing signs and be alert. Deer tend to travel in groups. If one is crossing the road, others are probably in the vicinity. Should a deer or bear be killed by a motor vehicle, the driver must report the accident to the game warden or the county sheriff’s office, 6753331. Don’t Feed the Bears! The game warden reminds citizens that bears are dangerous animals. This year’s drought has caused a shortage of natural food, forcing bears into populated areas. Sheriff Gary Settle reported that, in addition to the traffic accidents, the sheriff’s office received 35 complaints of bear-human contacts.

A survey taken by the Fire Service Council showed that fire and rescue volunteers enjoy a lot of support in the General Assembly. Republican Delegate Jay Katzen, who represents the county, said,' “I will be there for them. They’re dedicated and we’re relying upon them for our safety and health.” Poling estimated that there are nearly 200,000 career and volunteer firefighters and emergency rescue workers in the state. With family and friends, that is a voting block of well over a million people. The RCVFRA leadership believes that there are two important issues on the table today involving administrative fees for bingo operators and the “$2-for-Life” program. For the past four years, there has been action in the General Assembly to change the bingo law so that the volunteer companies would be required to contribute 1.5 percent of their gross take. Poling said that the county fire companies cannot afford the 1.5 percent, fee. The issue. will come before the assembly when it reconvenes in January. Another issue concerning county firefighters is a proposed change to the “$2 for Life” program. Under current law, $2 is earmarked for emergency medical services for every vehicle license plate purchased in the state. Proponents want the money to be raised to $3, possibly $4 per license plate. This fiscal year, Sperryville Rescue Squad submitted an 80/20 grant application for twoway radios. That application is now being reviewed. Poling said that the proposal to increase the fees still lacks a patron and co-patrons which it must have before it can become a formal bill. Keeping up with the progress of such proposals is a big part of Poling’s job. “We’re fortunate,” said Poling, “that we have people on the board who are (personally) familiar with what fire and rescue people do. And (County Administrator) John McCarthy keeps up with the legislation.” But the real problem is getting volunteers. “Recruitment and retention is the hardest thing fire companies have to (deal) with,” said Poling. He, too, will have to retire soon. At present, there is no one in the county to replace him. Haught From page A1 Haught learned of the incident from one of the juveniles and they testified that she said she’d help them get rid of the evidence. She took the items to her house. From there, she took almost all the items to the Rappahannock River and threw them in. The Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office was closely pursuing the case and one of the juveniles confessed when brought in. He then cooperated with police in their investigation of the incident which led them to Haught’s residence. They then obtained permission to search Haught’s residence where they found some of the stolen items.

• Neighbors/62 • Obituaries/B5 • Classifieds/B4 • Real Estate/B6 November 12, 1997 The Rapport receives excellent rating By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer “The Rapport ... with its excellent and timely news and feature coverage in the three issues reviewed ... Certainly the strongest performance among the Virginia high school papers ... during the last two years,” read a report from the Virginia High School League (VHSL) which just awarded The Rapport a first place rating in their annual evaluation of high school newspapers. The paper, now in its second year was deemed "... a real testimony to the efforts of your adviser and capabilities of your student journalists.” Cindy Cumins, adviser, said she and the paper’s staff of students are always trying to improve the paper and are incorporating new technology in an effort to do just that. They are presently looking at the Adobe Photoshop program to help enhance the quality of pictures in the publication. Editor-in-chief Naomi Smoot said she and the other staff members strive to provide a variety of information and cover important, timely issues at the school. The VHSL report said it found the thought and content of the paper was excellent, cit> ing the effort made to conduct multiple interviews and use off-campus sources. They noted particularly stories on such issues as the impact of snow days, changes in attendance policy, the connection between junk- food and learning, the trend toward young people marrying earlier, upgrading of academic standards and alcohol use among teens. The staff has numerous ideas for additions to the paper. “Improving coverage and getting more students in. the paper is one thing we need to do,” said Stephanie Kestner, layout editor. “We can’t let our heads swell from getting this award. We need to use their critiques and work on those areas.” “We should add more sports coverage,” added Caroline Baumgardner, public relations. Rebecca Metcalfe, the advertising manager, said, “We’re going to add more features like the ‘man on the street’ in an effort to include more students — the ones you don’t always hear about — in the paper. We also want to put in more student artwork.” Cumins said the purpose of the paper is to inform the stu .. .- - ------ Rappahannock News Staff Photo/JAN LA VALLEY DEDICATED TO EXCELLENCE: The staff of The Rapport, from left front, Jessica Lawyer, Sandra Oliver, Beth Yowell, Claire Schadler and Lyndsay Burger; from left back, Chris Sause, Jami Gillis, Caroline Baumgardner, Sarah Furr, Stephanie Kestner, Naomi Smoot and Rebecca Metcalfe. dent body about local and world issues, get them interested and bring them together to increase interaction. “It’s a lot of work,” Smoot said, “but it’s rewarding to see the final result.” Smoot said the paper hasn’t deviated a lot from what it set out to do but its appearance is more appealing, “It’s sophisticated but fun.” “The students look forward to each issue and even people in the community approach us and comment on the newspaper,” she said. “One of the highlights of being on the staff is when people recognize your work.” Kestner said, “Some of us are looking at a career in journalism and this is a good experience.” The staff has also found that working on the paper has helped them in school. “It has improved our writing skills in general,” said Lyndsay Burger, “and our peo pltT skills.” Chris Sause, in his , first year with the paper, said he believes the success they’ve had is due to, “the dedication of Mrs. Cumins and the staff. Everybody works after school, during school and even on weekends. They’re very dedicated.” The staff also holds fund raising events to raise money for more equipment. They are aided in their efforts by the Friends of The Rapport. Where do they go from here? Smoot says they’ll use the suggestions from the VHSL to incorporate additional features. Some of those they had already targeted and planned to add such as increased sports coverage and tackling more sensitive issues in depth. Religion in the schools is a big issue now, she said, and challenging to cover since you have to make sure you get all sides of the issue. The VHSL wrote, “The Rapport has an excellent opportunity to become in quick order one of the best scholastic newspapers in the state.” The staff says they’re committed to seeing that is does. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/BETSY BRANSCOME RIDE AROUND THE WORLD: Jeanie McNear is a worldwide riding holidays representative and state rep for Equitor. McNear Equitor worldwide rep By Betsy Branscome Rappahannock News Staff Writer It is the American way: riding the range, venturing into the wilderness, taking the path less traveled. Imagine riding a fine blood horse through the sands of Egypt; crossing the French wine country on a sturdy native pony; galloping across the high plains of the American West on a specially-bred ranch horse. Riding by day is fast, exciting, beautiful. Accommodation at night is comfortable and luxurious. These are the marks of Equitour. Equitour worldwide riding holidays representative Jeanie McNear knows all about the attractions of equestrian vacations — since her first visit to Equitour’s home base at the Bitterroot Ranch in Wyoming she has organized riding trips through them to Ireland and also become the company’s Virginia representative. “Riding cross country to see the world is the ultimate experience,” McNear, 54, said. “It is the best way to see it all. There is nothing like touring on the back of a horse to help a country get into your soul.” McNear has lived in Rappahannock County since 1970. A lifetime horsewoman, her interest in seeing the world from horseback stems naturally from both her vocation and avocation. She works as the volunteer coordinator for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Volunteer Service Board. McNear also volunteers her time to the Youth for Understanding International Exchange, helping place foreign students into local households. “This really sparked my interest in seeing the world,” McNear said. “Since 1984, I’ve hosted nine foreign exchange students in my home. It is very rewarding.” McNear said that her personal experiences with Equitour as a rider have been positive. “Many of the trips offer riding and another attraction,” she noted. “That way, a couple can go and one can ride and the other can pursue another interest. It is a good mix for diverse wishes. “All of the Equitour trips More notes on the arrival of the Juncos In early November heavy rain and wind tugged buttery yellow leaves from the Norway Maple in the side yard and scattered them across our parking area. Shiny and sleek from the rain, they made a pleasant pattern among deep green mulberry and rich brown elm leaves that blew in from other trees. From the kitchen window, I watched ten or so Juncos feed among the fallen leaves, adding--their deep and even | gray to the muted contrast of colors of the leaf fall. - At last, I have seen the first juncos in my Flint Hill yard. No doubt they arrived here earlier but I was away. So far, no White-throated Sparrow has appeared under the feeder to scratch for seed thrown down by other birds, though Lee Trott saw one in i the privet bush from which birds launch themselves toward the feeding tray. ; Mail has continued to come in with arrival dates of regular winter residents, notification that summer is over as far as birds are concerned. Joyce and Richard Abell of Woodville reported a Junco on "Oct. 11. That’s the earliest date so far for the ‘snow bird.’ A Whitethroated Sparrow was seen on Oct. 21 by the Abells, persistent and careful bird watchers. Their card also carried an invitation to pick apples on their property. An invitation I plan to accept for my jellymaking. Anyone know where I can get crabapples? Eva Grimsley of Grimsley Road near Flint Hill reported a Junco on Oct. 16. She wrote, “I saw and heard the first returning White-throated Sparrows in the underbrush at All Things |i Wild And || Beautiful * John Trott i the creek on Oct. 11.” With a few words, Grimsley painted a vivid word picture of the gentle sparrow in its dense natural habitat of vines and shrubs. Ann Markham, of Sperryville, wrote a charming note. “I saw my first Slate-colored Junco yesterday, Friday, Oct. 16 at noon at one of my bird feeders. (He was having lunch too.) I have always felt that having seen my first Junco of the season, can cold weather and winter be far behind?” Markham opened her letter with, “I’m not a true ‘bird watcher’ but I do watch birds for my own enjoyment.” The writer sounds mighty “true” to me. A card from D.L.' Jones “...just off South Poe’s Road (Route 637)...halfway between Flint Hill and Amissville,” noted a sighting of a lone white-throat on Oct. 16 and a flock of Juncos on Oct. 20. Mary Schwab of Lovettsville also noted Juncos on Oct. 20. Jean Busby of Catlett wrote of seeing Juncos on Sunday, Oct. 19. Sherred Leslie Guille of “...southern Fauquier County, just off U.S. 17, midway between Morrisville and Sumerduck,” reported a Junco on the same date, Oct. 19. “Just reporting in,” write Jeannie Lea Knight of Sunrise Farm near Broad Run. She continued, “I saw our first White-throated Sparrow and our first Junco (damn) at 6:30 a.m. today.” The letter was dated Oct. 21. Why did the Junco deserve a “damn” and not the other member of the finch family, the White-throated Sparrow? A hint to the answer of that question followed: “Some day I am going far enough south (where) they have never seen a Junco and they never have to wear long johns.” Jennie Lea, an old friend, would have to go to the very southern tip of Florida or Texas to ‘escape’ Juncos. This bird, or one of its many forms or races, either spends the winter or nests from Atlantic to the Pacific, south to the border with Mexico, and throughout Canada. Finally, from Roy Unger of Havre De Grace, Md. came a fine letter dated Oct. 22. He wrote: “Tbday was the first time that I have observed the return of the ... Juncos which were gleaning seeds from beneath my feeder. Evidently, the White-throated Sparrow has not arrived yet.” Juncos and white-throats don’t recognize boundaries between Maryland and Virginia. All they require is Monster turnip Rappahannock News Start Photo/JAN LAV ALLEY Frank Warner, of Scrabble, displays the seven pound turnip he grew. He said he had several almost as big and they were delicious when cooked. He also had a very good turnout for his turnip crop this year. a well-stocked leeder, a source of fresh water, and a dense low thicket for roosting and hiding from hawks. My sincere thanks to all of you who wrote. How reassuring that there are so many who keep eye cocked for a little gray bird and a sparrow with white stripes on its head. What pleasure they bring, a pleasure that costs nothing except a bit of bird seed. What stirred in the tiny brains of these birds in midOctober and initiated the flight south? Maybe we will never know. I like the mysteries that permeate nature, they add to the grandeur. are ‘test-ridden’ and checked out carefully,” she continued. “The horses are typical of local breeds, and the tack is traditional to the region. At the Bitterroot, for instance, the horses are of Arabian and quarter horse blood lines. They are bred to work in the mountains, though they are a little different than the half-breds I am more used to riding!” McNear hunts regularly with the Old Dominion Hounds. Equitour fills special niche Equitour offers a broad range of more than 60 tested riding tours in North America and on five other continents as well as a number of stationary programs to develop particular riding skills. The Bitterroot has run for 23 years, keeping a herd of 150 horses for visits to the American west. Typical tour offerings include California’s Redwood forests, Vermont’s Green Mountains, Kentucky’s bluegrass, Butch Cassidy’s outlaw trail, the Pony Express route, Ireland’s coast, dressage training on Lusitano’s in Portugal, Kenyan wildlife safaris, or a tour of the remote Okavango Delta in Botswana. Rides vary greatly in required riding ability, and many offer other activities of interest to non-riders. McNear can help set up any Equitour ride, or can assist in custom designing a tour. Trips are offered year-round. For more details, call her at 987-8150. ' RAAC presents film RAAC will present the movie, “Ulee’s Gold” at The Theatre on Gay Street, at 8 p.m., Friday, Nov. 21. Peter Fonda stars as Ulysses “Ulee” Jackson, a quiet, taciturn beekeeper living in the tupelo marshes of north Florida. His son, Jimmy, is serving a long prison sentence for his part in a robbery, and Ulee is raising Jimmy’s young daughter, Penny, and her rebellious teenage sister, Casey, who have been deserted by their drug-addicted mother, Helen. Still mourning the death of his wife six years earlier and haunted by his wartime experience in Vietnam, Ulee has closed himself off to everyone but Penny. In the midst of his busy season, Ulee receives a desper ate call from Jimmy, pleading with him to go to Orlando to rescue Helen. Strung out and menaced by Jimmy’s former partners in crime, Helen has revealed that Jimmy has an extra $100,000 from the robbery hidden away. The two hoodlums are holding Helen hostage and demanding that Ulee find the missing cash or risk further injury to his already broken family. Director Victor Nunez, a first generation American and a graduate of the UCLA Film School, has never strayed far from his Florida roots. All of his feature films have been set in his home state, including his previous work, “Ruby in Paradise”, winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. (Rated R, 111 minutes.)

Clate Sr. of Amissville; paternal grandparents Joseph Alton Holmes (T^Voxels, by Randy Minter LIFE WITHOUT FATHER Whether it is pride or stubbornness, nothing should stand in the way of a loving relationship with our fathers. James Baldwin talked about the missed opportunity of knowing his father well in Notes of a Native Son. " I had not known my father very well. We had got on badly, partly because we shared, in our separate fashions, the vice of stubborn pride. When he was dead I realized that I had hardly ever spoken to him. When he had been dead a long time I began to wish I had. It seems to be typical of life in America, where opportunities, real and fancied, are thicker than anywhere else on the globe, that the second generation has no time to talk to the first." Fathers have become more and more involved with the lives of their families as women have entered the work force. This is all to the good, but it also means extra stresses on families as they work to create lives of order and meaning. When you are hit with a loss, your usual systems can fall apart.
