No. 28 THURSDAY, JULY 8, 2004 Happahannock News Staff Photo/Jan Clatterbuck Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Mary Ann Kuhn Knock-knock Zeke, a two-year-old thoroughbred- Appaloosa mix, gave out a loud whinny when he saw his reflection in the glass door at the Rappahannock News building on Main Street startling editor Mary Ann Kuhn, who was working at her desk. His owner and rider, Forrest Whorton of Castleton, was taking Zeke around the town of Washington one recent Sunday afternoon to see how he reacted to different experiences. Zeke is still learning to write his name. Meanwhile, seven students of the Rappahannock Child Care & Learning Center’s Summer Program took a tour of the offices last week. From left, front row, are Chris Corbin, Madalyn Painter, Madison Romine, Tiger Taylor; middle row, Connor Settle, Khalil Roman, Tiffany Foster; back row, teachers Michele MacArthur and Christy Haskins. See story on Page A8. Car accident sets off ‘fireworks’ Tuly 4 By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer There were fireworks on the Fourth of July in Flint Hill, even though no fireworks were planned, when a car carrying two elderly women hit a utility pole and created - a lively and dangerous pyrotechnical display right in the middle of town. Guests and staff ran out on the porch of the Griffin Tavern to see the commotion, when Ellen Hockman, 68, and her mother Mildred Guy, 89, both of Bentonville, Warren County, somehow ran off the road and smacked their 1998 Lincoln Continental directly into a power pole, snapping it in two, across from the Griffin Tavern and in front of the BB&T Bank on Route 522, at 5:35 p.m., according to Virginia State Police. Tabetha Swain, 20, a resident of Chester Gap, and a waitress at the tavern, heard a loud noise. A busboy heard the same sound and ran out, “and he said, like, ‘Tabetha, this car just hit a pole out front,’” remembers Swain, who left her customers at their table and ran out herself. Others in the tavern, including guests, lined up in front and watched the excitement. Swain, who is an EMT and a member of the Chester Gap Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department, took charge. Clearly, she knows how to handle emergencies, including with the Heimlich Maneuver, she says. “Poles were popping,” she recalled about the accident. Her supervisor at the tavern, Ross Wheatley, was working in the bar. “I could hear fireworks and it was the lines crackling and sparking,” he said. ‘The car hit the pole dead on.” Said the tavern’s bartender, Jonathan Maxwell, “It was the See ACCIDENT, Page A8 First tower going up By Malcolm MacPherson and Jed Duvall Rappahannock News Writers Rappahannock County moved into a new and different age last week, an age that some decry and others embrace, with the ground breaking for the first cellular communications tower to be erected here in a swale behind the main building of Amissville’s Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company on Route 211. The monopole tower, which will rise 170 feet into the air, undisguised as a tree (“monopine”) or a grain silo, will begin operation on -July 26. according to workers for ECI Wireless who this week began pouring the concrete slab and installing , the massive steel screws and bolts at the tower’s ultimate base. The Amissville tower is the first of seven to be erected in the county, according to County Administrator John McCarthy. Six towers, operated and owned by Sprint PCS. are presently under permit; a seventh permit, for a silo on property near the Town of Washington (called the “Miller Silo”) is awaiting final clearance from the Federal Communications Commission.

Roy Lee Pullen Sr., an emotional and draining rape Roy Lee Pullen, Sr. Defendant verdict and compares that with what happened over the last quarter of a century in the lives of the accuser and the accused. At the very least, the verdict did what Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke urged the jury, and that was to speak “out to the community on what you think of this type of behavior.” The case stems from trial tnai lasiea inree days last week, bilt for those involved, much longer. The rape was alleged to have occurred 25 years ago. Whether there was justice, depends on how each side views the an Apru aay, zo years ago, when Roy Lee Pullen Sr., then 29, allegedly raped Deborah “Debbi” Pullen, then 10, on April 28, 1979 at his home in Gid Brown Hollow. Now 35, she is married and her name is Deborah Lacy. Over the years, each of their lives changed. Three years after the alleged offense, Pullen, who acknowledged on the stand he drank too much back then, went through rehabilitation and stopped drinking. Every Fourth of July since 1982 he throws a big party celebrating his sobriety with friends and family. To this day, influential members of the community speak highly of Pullen and the work he does helping others irf farming and haying. “Roy would give you the shirt off his back,’- said Sam Snead, a realtor, who grew up with him in Gid Brown Hollow. “We grew up together his family and ours. He is my neighbor and helps me with hay. He See TRIAL, Page A3 ‘The witnesses of the Commonwealth are like Swiss cheese.

Trial From Page Al is so talented and a great mechanic.” Meanwhile, Debbi Pullen Lacy, wanted to see justice done. When Roy Pullen, who fixes farm machinery, applied for a job as a custodian at the Rappahannock County High School in 2002, she told authorities about what happened to her and said she worried about his being around other children. That triggered a series of events over the past two years, interviews, indictments, and court hearings which eventually brought Pullen into the courtroom last week for his trial, and ultimately his conviction. Pullen, now 54, a short slender man with graying hair, a moustache, and long sideburns, says he is innocent, that none of this happened. But a jury of six men and six women believed differently last Wednesday night despite a lack of hard evidence such as medical exams, clothing, DNA, fluid exchange, marks, bruises, all of which renown defense attorney Blair Howard of Warrenton pointed out to the jury in closing arguments. (Howard got an acquittal for Lorena Bobbitt after she cut off her husband’s penis; he also represented Virginia heiress Susan Cummings who was found guilty of killing her polo-playing boyfriend). Guilty verdict After deliberating nearly seven hours in a small room off the courtroom of the Rappahannock County Circuit Court, the jurors found Pullen guilty of a felony charge of taking indecent liberties with a child under 14 years of age.

Pullen, dressed in a longsleeved white shirt and paisley tie, stood expressionless before the judge as the sentence was read: one year in the county jail (as opposed to one to five years in the state penitentiary') and the maximum fine of $2,500. Supporters of Pullen and Lacy waited outside on the courthouse green, their small camps separated by a wide sidewalk during a large part of the three-day trial. At one point during the first day of the trial, Roy Pullen’s wife, Francis, fainted in the courtroom.

Sitting on the witness stand, wearing black slacks and a tailored beige jacket, her long blond hair touching her shoulders, she constantly dabbed at her nose and eyes with a white tissue. Whom to believe What the case came down to. essentially, was Roy Pullen’s word versus the word of Debbi Pullen Lacy, who spoke earnestly, giving emotional and moving testimony, and her sister, Tammy, who also testified on her behalf as a witness. Defense attorney Howard, and his partner, Paul Morrison, who sat beside him at the defense table, didn’t buy the Pullen girls’ testimony. “This case all comes down to Tammy’s and Debbi’s version and whether they are believable,” Howard told the jurors in closing arguments. “It really comes down to the credibility of these two girls.” At another juncture, Howard said, “The witnesses of the Commonwealth are like Swiss cheese. There are so many holes in their stories.” Howard also tried to lead the jurors to believe that animosity in 1999 over who got a house in the family motivated Debbi Pullen Lacy to bring charges against Roy Pullen. Luke warned the jurors: “Don’t confuse the man you see today with the man in 1979. He is still responsible for his actions.” In answer to perhaps what Luke thought some of the jurors may be thinking, he discussed why young Debbi Pullen or her sister didn’t come forward sooner or tell their parents. “I submit what they did is what a child would do. . .these children did what children normally do (in these cases). They don’t report it. . .it gets buried. . .but this case got dug up after 25 years. The Commonwealth believes it’s time justice be brought in this case. ...” As Luke spoke, Debbi Pullen Lacy broke down crying. Pullen was released on bond to appear at a pre-sentence hearing on Aug. 24. As Sam Snead said about the case, “It’s sad for the community. It tears a family apart.” RED DOT SALE TREMENDOUS SELECTION NOW OF SPRING & SUMMER MERCHANDISE! Great Fashions. Great Prices. Every Day! ROYAL PLAZA • FRONT ROYAL.

Monday-Friday Member, Audit Bureau of Circulations www.TimesCommunity.com THURSDAY, JULY 8, 2004 Our View Change In all life’s successful endeavors, no matter what anybody says, creative compromise works, whether in marriages, partnerships, on teams, or in the unique relationship between governments and the publics they serve. With the ground breaking this last week in Rappahannock for the first of an Eventual seven Sprint cellular communications towers, the county has done itself proud, giving grudgingly and taking as much as it could reasonably expect, thus leaving everybody in the negotiation more or less content. Sprint got its foot in the door and those residents of the county who wanted cellular coverage will soon be able to talk on portable phones; for those who railed against towers in any way shape or form, the impact of the installations was diminished through negotiations in height (170 feet against the original proposal for towers of as much as 250 feet), only seven towers, considering that there could have been so many of them that the wind would sough through them like tall grass, and in one instance in Little Washington, to have a tower look like what it isn’t — a grain silo. As County Administrator John McCarthy put it this week, “Sprint’s plan was the best compromise available to provide some level of service without unduly compromising our landscape.” The towers of course were going to happen no matter what, given the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the “love your neighbor” concept of “regional general welfare” by which jurisdictions like Rappahannock County are forced to make certain sacrifices (cell towers) for the benefit of their neighbors, like Fauquier and Culpeper. In the end, Rappahannock succeeded in a compromise, and in that, there appeared an even greater good. Given a “go wherever you want to” attitude in neighboring jurisdictions, Rappahannock feels somewhat balkanized and threatened by development. Any change is viewed with suspicion as possibly a thin end of the wedge, like cell towers leading to God knows what. Despite those reasonable fears, the county should not become the knit cap of jurisdictions, either, known for its eccentricities as Luddites and hippies, like Mendocino in northern California, opposing most types of technological change. The pitch to us at the moment seems perfect. The county’s capacity for compromise should leave citizens feeling relatively satisfied, relatively proud and relatively safe. ..CM You mi K6 New?..

Letters Protect the ‘societal and moral institution of marriage’ When, exactly, will the live and let live philosophy espoused in the July 1 editorial of the Rappahannock News entitled, “Our View: Democracy at Work,” be consistently applied to the majority of this nation? I am referring specifically to the majority who believe in the importance of protecting the societal and moral institution of marriage, and who are offended and/or disturbed by the prospect of having that foundational institution forcibly redefined by unelected, unaccountable extremist groups via judicial fiat? What appears to be happening is tyranny by the minority with a portion of our nation’s judiciary (and everyone knows which areas of the country are supportive of this method) functioning as useful idiots for the agenda of the minority. Tina Moulton Huntly New law ‘appears to come heavily weighted with ill will’ I was pleasantly surprised while visiting friends in beautiful Rappahannock County over the holiday weekend to read your July 1 editorial questioning the need for several new laws, including the one that prohibits a “partnership contract or other arrangement between persons of the same sex purporting to bestow the privileges Joy Lorien’s work: ‘the meanderings of an adolescent’ When I first joined the infamous Rappnet listserv, I enjoyed the break from the usual noisy debates by what I thought was a grade school girl’s poetry. But, this illusion was destroyed when she once poured her heart out about her divorce and pain of being middle-aged. Though, seeming to be attempts at public exposition of self-realization, Joy Lorien’s compositions actually read like the meanderings of an adolescent. In the July 1 article, “The Joys of Lorien,” I appreciate the admission that her grammar is poor; it is often terrible. I appreciate the admission of narcissism. She is correct; her discourses read as self-serving. I hope that she has the desire to improve these problems. At most, she is promoting journaling and diary as a form of legitimate public art. It is not. Real artists serve the art form, not themselves. There are dozen’s of prizewinning writers in this county. So, why publish an article about an amateur’s attempts at it? Is it because she has successfully gained a local following? Creating public consensus combined with consistency in self-exposure does noi qualify a person as a writer. Neither did it make good content for inclusion in your paper. In the future, please limit the content of human interest articles to include only those Who have mastered their skills, instead of those who have not. Philip S. Rosemonc Flint Hil or obligations of marriage.” This law, far from reflecting a philosophy of live and let live, appears to come heavily weighted with ill will and potential harm. In my experience, longterm gay couples, whether or not they want to get married, almost invariably want to provide economic security and protections for their family- ilyOften they are able to achieve this to some extent through (often expensive) legal procedures, such as advance medical directives, custody decisions, and wills— "arrangements” that bestow some of the many benefits and obligations that come automatically with marriage. Such arrangements appear targeted by this law and, whether by design or not, make many people secondclass citizens. Perhaps those cold to the human dimensions of this law will eventually recognize and be swayed by the economic effects, as businesses make decisions about where to locate, and people make decisions about where to live.

Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO JULY 9, 1964 A gentle rain which began early Wednesday morning brought temporary relief from a drought which threatened corn crops and the late hay crop. At 10 o’clock .23 of an inch of rain had fallen. At a meeting of the School Trustee Electoral Board of Rappahannock County which was held Tuesday, July 7, two members of the Rappahannock School Board were re-elected to office. Ralph H. Rowzie; representing Jackson District, and Irvin R. Kilby of Piedmont District were re-elected to serve 4year terms. Stanley Settle, Nelson Burner, Eddie Hill, and Raymond Mills, Jr. were among the Amissville Ruritan Club members who helped to cook and serve food at the barbecue held Saturday at the carnival grounds. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Absher announce the birth of a daughter, Karen Lynne, born June 27, 1964, at Stillwater, Oklahoma. Mrs. Abner is the former Miss Barbara Jones, Rappahannock Home Demonstration Agent who resigned last year. Mr. Absher is attending the University of Oklahoma. The old Grigsby place on the Richmond Road near Hitt’s Garage, containing 161 acres, has recently been purchased by Mr. Thomas Bradley of Washington, D.C. The old residence, part of which is a hewn log construction, is believed to be among the oldest structures in the area. Though the outside is now covered with frame siding the interior has very low ceilings with hewn roof rafters put together with crude wooden pins. The large field stone chimney is built with claiy mortar. 25 YEARS AGO JULY 5, 1979 Gwendolyn H. Hammond, an Amissville landowner who lives in Washington, D.C., has billed the Rappahannock Supervisors $9,000 for unauthorized use of her property as a site for county dumpsters. In a letter read at the July 5 board meeting, Mrs. Hammond charged that placement of the 11 dumpsters for 30 months had caused the property to deteriorate. 4 Rev. Peter Weems, the new Methodist minister in Flint Hill, says that, when he was growing up, he was a rebel. He moved from job to job, and travelled around, not settling down permanently at anything. The Inn at Little Washington was painted in record time on July 3 only to have owners Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch decide on July 4 that the shade on their restaurant was decidedly different from the sample on the can. The building will be repainted again. To avoid the same mistake, Lynch and O’Connell have turned a side of The Inn into a rainbow, trying samples of half a dozen hues. Use tender loving care with handling peaches. They are ready to eat when they feel barely soft. Let firm ones soften at room temperature, uncovered. Store soft ones in the refrigerator. Remember, when buying peaches in quantity, use soft peaches first. Sort carefully since spoilage spreads rapidly. 10 YEARS AGO JULY 6, 1994 On July 15, 1995, Rappahannock County will get a new area code— 540. Only exchanges in the “Northern Virginia Local Access Transport area” (Metro area) will keep the current 703 area code. President Clinton announced late last month his intention to nominate Harold J. Creel Jr. of Woodville to fill a three-year term on the Federal Maritime Commission. The proposal by Cellular One to build a 250foot tall tower to serve its customers and also be put at the disposal of the sheriff’s department for dispatching deputies, and fire and rescue is intriguing. However, the proposed location on the courthouse lawn is appalling. The Rappahannock Monarchs defeated Edinburg in a double header Sunday. Storey Frye and William Parker had clutch hits to beat previously unbeaten Edinburg in the bottom of the fifth to break a 2-2 tie and send the Monarchs to a 4-3 victory. Nils Aylor added a two run homer for Rappahannock and Luther Alexander was the winning pitcher. COMPILED BY MALCOLM C. MACPHERSON k I 1

Opinion ‘Call your supervisor today’ in support of the lighting ordinance When I was a youngster growing up in the 1950s in the Washington, D C. suburbs, everyone’s favorite pleasure was a Sunday drive. I remember my parents taking me out into the country to Annandale, McLean, Tysons Corner, or even Fairfax. If they wanted to leave the influence of Washington, D C. completely behind, we might take the entire day to ride down to one of my great uncles' farms in Centreville or Manassas. Looking back, my parents seemed to be keenly aware of the effects of unrestrained, unregulated growth in a time when not many people were concerned with that sort of thing. My father would often shake his head or comment, “No zoning” as we passed through a particularly ugly mix of run-down trailers, junk yards, industries, or poorly designed shopping strips intermixed with tacky new home developments. Officials of many post-war localities around Washington, D C. did not consider inflicting zoning regulations on their constituents. Tb this day, you can see the results of The Forum I that inattention to good land use planning by just driving south on US Route 1 out of Alexandria. Decisions about land use, including the failure to make decisions about land use, have dramatic effects that last a very long time. Today, a vocal minority of Rappahannock’s Jackson District residents are worried about “the camel getting its nose under the tent.” The camel of course is the government and the tent is the unrestrained property rights party that the holders of real property are intoxicated with here in the hills of the western piedmont and the hollows of the Blue Ridge. As a society, we have cast government as the evil enemy of the people. But when have the public officials of Rappahannock County ever worked against the best interests of the citizenry of this county? When have they even threatened to enact legislation that would harm this countryside or the interests of all those who reside here0 Because of their foresight, we have been protected from the worst effects of unrestrained development. How are they, elected by us, suddenly the enemy? Our elected officials have earned the constant praise of the vast majority of Rappahannockers, who recognize the benefits our planners and supervisors^ wisely provided by enacting a progressive Comprehensive Plan and zoning ordinances more restrictive than those of our neighbors. Those ordinances so far have prevented the Fairfaxification of Rappahannock County Our friends in Prince William, Culpeper, and even Fauquier have not been so fortunate. As Planning Commissioner Strittmatter so correctly saw and so eloquently stated at last month's commission meeting, the lighting ordinance will harm no one in Rappahannock County. It will protect everyone from the potentially abusive use of blinding light by greedy cor Big time politicos might learn from county supervisors, a thing or two By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer For anyone who has ever groaned over the fiscal profligacy of federal and state politicians of every stripe, running up budget deficits with nearly as many zeros as words in this paragraph, the responsibility—indeed, the parsimony—of the Rappahannock County’s Board of Supervisors seems downright old-fashioned by comparison, and true. In a recent meeting of the board, Supervisor Ron Frazier (Jackson District) questioned, with the county’s purchase of a new Ford 150 truck to be used by Animal Control, what was going to happen to the old truck. County Administrator John McCarthy readily provided the answer: It would be used by part-time control officer Jack Sharp until it was run into the ground. Nothing would be wasted. At another point in the same meeting on the budget, Supervisor Robert P. “Bob” Anderson (StonewallHawthorne District) said with the weariness of a widow facing foreclosure, “Well, we gotta pay bills.” Time after time in their spending deliberations, the supervisors give an observer the impression that they are not spending someone else’s money or that the county’s pockets are bottomless, but that they are actually taking funds, in their minds, from their own personal bank accounts. As they deliberate, the supervisors, who sit around a long rectangular table in the second floor of the county courthouse, rub their chins while leaning into papers filled with figures to determine what is justified and what can be taken out. They are not tightwads, but they want justifications. Their questions seem to nitpick, but are always informed and considered. Nothing is bought on impulse, nothing isn’t for the general well-being, and special interest groups,, while they exist in the county, do not get preferential treatment. What is going on here? County Administrator John McCarthy thinks he might know the answer. “We are a small county, and the average person here can read our budget and grasp it,” he said. “It is not opaque, like in Culpeper and other big counties. This is fairly unusual.” The supervisors are as close to their constituents as a phone call or an unannounced visit to complain and to discuss and to praise. They are visible and answerable unlike political representatives in few other places. In Rappahannock, there is nowhere to hide, even if they wanted to. “The board is in close contact with the electorate here,” said Chairman Charles “Pete” Estes (Piedmont District). “Whereas when do you ever 1 ft News Analysis meet your U.S. senator? In Rappahannock, you have to vote the feelings of your constituents.” Or as McCarthy said, “Rappahannock demonstrates the beauty of democracy close to the ground. People who come to Rappahannock to live are entranced by the fact that they can effect policy by just showing up (at public meetings). Nobody in government that I know of has a closed mind.” Or a closed door. A few weeks ago, when Sheriff Larry Sherertz showed up at the board’s meeting and told supervisors that he wanted a supplemental raise for his deputies but not for himself, and for supervisors to please delete his increase from the budget, the board agreed, and responded, as if to say, “We’ll step up because you have stepped up,” by giving deputies more than they otherwise had planned to give. In Rappahannock, unlike larger counties, supervisors are in constant contact with other county officials. “We get more of an insight into what is behind requests for money, whether or not there is a real need, because we talk to these people all the time who are asking,” said Supervisor Bryant Lee (Hampton District). Lee also believes that the supervisors are more conservative with spending because they have the time to take a longer view. “We can look into the future of what’s coming and ■II i u. keep up with it,” he said. The county bought land for the elementary school when the price was advantageous, anticipating and reducing the pressure of necessity. It did so, as another example, when the board recently voted to give Sheriff’s deputies what are called LEOS —Law Enforcement Office Retirement Supplemental, after three years of consideration. “We do the research, so if somebody in the street asks me why the money was spent and what was the need, I can tell them,” said Supervisor Lee. “We don’t just jump into these spending items.” These country attributes may seem natural to those who never leave Rappahannock, but to everyone else, they come as a blessing. And as for those spendthrifts in Washington who want to introduce democracy to everyone on the earth, maybe they should “go close to the ground,” as McCarthy says, and learn how from Rappahannock.

The beauty of the lighting ordinance is that it says "No'" to the way Sheetz. McDonalds, Walmart (and other outsiders who care not one whit about the county we love) would develop our land. The ordinance would give our officials the authority to limit the offensive character of the worst new commercial development. McDonalds and even Sheetz have adjusted their lighting levels and facility designs to accommodate local ordinances elsewhere, to the joy of communities with the foresight to enact the right ordinances, BEFORE the big guys moved in. This is what we pay our elected officials to do. r The lighting ordinance supports currently operating, small, local businesses against unfair competition from the multi-national corporations. It would have no impact on current or future residential properties And for the welfare of all country folks, it would preserve dark skies in a region where dark skies are disappearing at an alarming rate. The lighting ordinance, about to come before the . Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors for one last chance to strengthen and improve what is already the most effective set of zoning ordinances in all of northern and central Virginia, should receive the support of every Rappahannock citizen. Each supervisor needs to hear from each of his constituents between now' and Aug. 2. in support of this important, last chance effort to save our dark skies and to protect our land from the most egregious forms of corporate strip development. Call your supervisor today: call him again next a week to remind him about how you feel. Ask him if he has talked to Planning Commissioner Charles Stnttmatter about his views on the lighting ordinance.

Inspiring Tfwugfits by Randy Minter ANCIENT TRADITIONS While the beliefs and practices accorded to the dead differ somewhat between cultures, religions, and eras, they are also fundamentally similar. The ancient Egyptians were so focused on funerals and death that some pharaohs spent their entire lives preparing for their burials. The pyramids are ancient tombs commemorating the souls of their leaders. The ancient Egyptians held incredible strong beliefs in an afterlife , so much so that the mummification process of a body could take up to seventy days to complete, after which the body was wrapped in fine linen and placed in a sarcophagus. To some extent, little has changed since then, as we prepare our dead burial, commemorate their lives, and place them in cemeteries undomonuments. We all face our profound humanness, with all its fears and preciousness, when we confront our own morality. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME we are skilled at guiding families through the many decisions they face when a loved one passes away.

1 IUI II IWVI » I IVIIIV# CCLC students visit the Rappahannock News’ offices By Tiffany Foster Special to the Rappahannock News Eight school-aged children from the Child Care & Learning Center in Rappahannock—including Chris and Tiger, about whom more in a minute—visited the offices last week of the Rappahannock News with teacher Christy Haskins. The boys and girls, between five and 11 years of age, asked questions of the News’ staff, read back issues of the paper and learned how to write a story. Before entering the News’ headquarters at 249 Main Street in Washington, the youngsters tarried by the red linotype machine in front which they were told will soon be removed for refurbishment and painted gold.

Perhaps free associating on the helmet, Chris showed off his scar earned in an accident last Wednesday on his cousin’s motorcycle. Chris wears a baseball cap backwards. “It is cool!” Madison Romine of Castleton said of Chris’ cap. The seven students left the office with pieces of chocolate candy taken from a basket on the front counter. They each received copies of the most recent edition of the newspa per, and posed for a group photo by the door of the News’ building. Tiffany Foster, 9, a rising third grader, wrote this story with the help of the staff of the Rappahannock News. Photo by Jonathan Bankston ‘FIREWORKS’: A 1998 Lincoln Continental, carrying two elderly women, plowed directly into a power pole, snapping it in two in front of the BB&T Bank on Route 522 in Flint Hill on July 4. Witnesses said the crackling of the lines sounded like ‘fireworks.’ Accident From Page A1 Fourth of July. Really colorful things were going off.” According to State Trooper Franz Mahler, who got to the scene as soon as he got the call, “The driver took that pole right in half. The Continental shredded it.” Swain started galvanizing the bystanders and gawkers into action. “I told one lady who was driving into town to go back to call 911 and ask for two ambulances.” She saw a van of older people whom she told to drive down to the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire & Rescue for another ambulance. “The car was steaming,” said Swain. The driver, Hockman, and her mother, Guy, were conscious but dazed. Their air bags had exploded, and they were frightened, according to Swain. “I got the driver (Hockman) out of the car before the electrical wires dropped on the car,” said Swain. “My main concern was their falling and trapping them.” It was Trooper Mahler’s concern, too. “The only thing that kept the electric pole up was the wires,” he said. “If a wrecker had taken the car away, the pole would have fallen on the road.” The passenger’s door would not open. Swain recruited three or four men to yank it open. Hockman, 66 I could hear fireworks and it was the lines crackling and sparking. The car hit the pole dead on. Ross Wheatley Griffin Tavern manager said Swain, was worried about her mother, and she said, “My mother! My mother!” The men pulled on the door until it came open. “They moved the air bag off her,” said Swain. She reported that the elderly woman was bleeding but “conscious and alive.” Finally, a medic attended to Guy. Meanwhile, Swain “helped package” Hockman, meaning that she laced her on a stretcher and steadied her neck with a brace. “And then I went back to work,” she said, as if she is used to doing these sorts of things between the soup and salad course. Hockman was driven in an ambulance to the Warren County Memorial Hospital, and was soon released. Her mother w$s taken by AirCare helicopter to Fairfax Hospital, where she is recovering from non-lifethreatening injuries, according to State Police. Allegheny Power temporarily turned off the electricity in Flint Hill, but the interruption was quick and localized. According to the people working at the tav-, em, their electricity was not disturbed, and their guests continued their evening’s festivities, having seen “fireworks” and with something new and exciting to talk about. Other events Also over the Fourth of July weekend, the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office reported, a fourwheeler accident required an ambulance to transport a Rappahannock juvenile to the hospital; another fourwheeler was reported being driven in the roadway; dirt bikes were reported making a nuisance on Chester Gap; and a teenager’s father called to report that his daughter was yelling at him. Other teenaged girls were reported making “threats to each other” over the phone, according to the Sheriff’s Office. And one set of parents called the Sheriff to see how they could legally evict their teenaged son from the house. Vandalism came from a bear who turned over a concrete bench on Pine Drive in Washington at nine o’clock at night on July 2. And several deer “strikes” were reported on Route 211.

Some who did not like the thought that cellular towers would despoil the environment and disturb the beauty of Rappahannock’s fabled countryside will now see the concept of the towers transformed into a disturbing reality, while those who supported the proposals will be able to talk on their cellular telephones without interference for the first time ever. “I suppose that the Telecommunications Act of 1996 pretty well took away local governments’ ability to ban cell towers,” said McCarthy of the issue. “Sprint’s plan was the best compromise available to provide some level of service without unduly compromising our landscape.” Upon hearing about the ground breaking for the first tower, Bob Lander of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Preservation, which led the fight against the towers, said, “We’ll take a look at it and see what happens and just hope that it comes out good for the county.” One group that has been looking forward to the installation of the tower is the members of the Amissville Volunteer Fire --—-M--— 66 Sprint’s plan was the best compromise... John McCarthy County Administrator & Rescue Company who by contract will start to receive $1,200 a month for rental of its property to Sprint. The air has gone out of the tower controversy in the time since the Board of Supervisors gave Sprint approval to build a system of seven towers in November 2001. Last year, Sprint officials returned to the county with a request to build an 80-foot-tall “monopine” tower along Route 522 south of Flint Hill. The board quickly approved it. Looking on the bright side of the issue, Bill Dobrovir, one of the original group who fought the introduction of the towers, pointed out that the Amissville tower, while originally planned for 199 feet and ultimately downgraded to 170 feet, was under a height restriction that requires a tower to carry bright. illuminations to ward off airplanes. Dobrovir said, “At least there wont be lights on it." i I

Happahatmoch News • Neighbors/B2, B4 • Classifieds/B5-B8 July 8, 2004 www.timescommunity.coin By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News StafT Writer The one and only 4th of July celebration open to the public in Rappahannock County was held Sunday at the Rappahannock Recreation Center, which was decked out with flags, bunting, red, white and blue balloons and warm greetings from the sponsors, the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee. Billed as an “Old-fashioned Community Picnic” some 120 persons enjoyed the festivities including Republicans and Independents alike. Lunch from the grill included hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers and veggie burgers and as guests lunched, John Philip Sousa’s patriotic band music filled the air. Lee Bird of Washington gave a moving address on the background of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence and what happened to them afterwards. Some were captured by the British as traitors, others tortured before they died. Homes were ransacked and burned. Take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots,” Bird told the guests. “It’s not much to ask for the price they paid.” Photo bv Barbara Aaoit: 1.

Birds have deadlines, too By Bruce Jones Special to the Rappahannock News We humans think we have busy schedules and important deadlines to meet. They pale when compared to those of our fine-feathered friends. What our birds have to-do in a very short time, 30 to 45 days, is truly astounding. We observed, sitting on our porch in late June, newly fledged Kestrels, Bluebirds, Catbirds, Titmice, Chickadees, and Orioles, all flying about, getting used to their brand new world. Nesting, incubating, hatching, fledging-all in such a short time. We noted a baby Bluebird fluttering to the ground from one of our dead “snag” trees, probing for an insect or grub on the ground, emulating its Mom’s teaching. How quickly they have learned. We don’t realize what a short time frame these birds have within which to operate. They arrive here from South America or Latin America, Mexico, or from the very southern parts of the United States, in late April/early May; they have in most cases flown thousands of miles, mainly at night, and they hit the ground here running. Immediately, nest building begins, usually both parents partaking in this duty. With some bird species, only the female builds the nest. Nesting materials vary widely; the Killdeer that nested near the Rappahannock High School usually Birds of Rappahannock makes just a small depression in gravel and adds small bits/pieces of sticks or debris, right on the ground. The larger birds (owls, hawks, crows) make stick nests (squirrels make leaf nests). Most other birds use grasses, mud and various other plant materials. One year, while I was weeding near a blueberry bush, right above my head was a Baltimore oriole, tugging at a string that had been used to hang soap bars for deer protection. Since that time, I have saved and cut up all string and twine that I have acquired during the year. What a delight then, in November and December after the leaves have fallen, to find most of the string inside the now visible nests. The Baltimore Orioles, which often nest near our house, came back again this year. This oriole, along with the Orchard Oriole, weaves its nest pouch from plant fibers, vine bark, string, and then fines the nest with hair, plant down and moss.'We find these “hanging sacks” after the leaves fall. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird nest, which measures about one and a half inches in diameter, consists primarily of fine plant material and plant down, bound together with spider webs, the outside covered in lichens. What an engineering marvel.One of my quests is to someday find a hummingbird nest. One of our common birds here in Virginia, the Carolina Chickadee, builds its nest primarily of moss. When I open a “Bluebird box” and see all moss, I know to whom that belongs. One of our unique nest builders is the Great-crested Flycatcher; its nest always has part of a snake skin in its lining. Nest building normally goes on for two to 10 days, by which time the egg laying commences. The norm is for the bird to lay an egg a day and then when all the eggs have been laid, the incubation period begins. Most incubation for smaller birds is approximately 10-14 days and is done primarily by the female. The larger birds (geese, ducks, hawks) have an incubation period of some 25-30 days. Each bird species has differences in the feeding of their young, but usually both parents are involved. These young birds are given a small window of opportunity to mature as most of these youngsters have to fly thousands of miles soon, some starting as early as late July/early August. I was fortunate to have seen a baby Arctic Tern when visiting above the Arctic Circle one July. I knew that it Photo courtesy U S Fish and Wildlife Service FEEDING TIME: A Black-throated Blue Warbler feeds her young. had to fly, along with its parents 9,000 to 12,000 miles to either Africa or the tip of South America. The Terns have to hurry, as these birds could not withstand the bitter cold and freezing temperatures of the Arctic in September and October. At the other end of the world on another trip, I was able to see the Arctic Terns on the tip of South America in January, where it was warm and I knew that they had to fly north to the Arctic soon. Bird sightings As Garrison Keillor would say, “it’s been a quiet week here in . . . Rappahannock County.” It has been quiet. Bird sightings were on vacation. Most of the calls were of birds already on our list, with the exception of the one from Steve Kenny and Donna LaPre. They advised of a covey of Bobwhite quail, right near their house on Fodderstack Road. I am adding a few species seen from here on Long Mountain Road: the House Wren, the Eastern Kingbird, and the Chimney Swift. This gives us a total bird count for the county through June of 104 species. A few scattered observations have come in for the Scarlet Tanager. We are fortunate to have a few Tanager families here on Long Mountain, visiting our mulberry trees. We are trying to fine-tune the color of the Tanager—is it red-orange or orange-red? Either way, it is a shy but strikingly colorful bird. Enjoy the summer months. The babies will be getting their adult colors soon for their flight south. For bird sightings or observations, call Bruce Jones 675-3152 or email: bsjonz@earthlink.net. Griffin Tavern exhibits Helene Wagner’s photographs The Griffin Tavern Art Gallery in Flint Hill features the work this month of Helene Wagner, who is an award-winning photographer and writer of screenplays.

You will all survive the “tween years”.

Neighbors Project Rainbow provides assistance to those in need We are blessed to have a community of caring and creative people who look out for their neighbors’ well being. In the mid 1980s, Jane Mullan helped a friend whose child had been diagnosed with leukemia. The family ' had incurred huge medical expenses and adding to the stress of caring for an ill child, were further burdened with trying to pay off bills. Fnends rallied together to assist the family and Project Rainbow, a local non-profit foundation, was born here. Mullan recognized a need facing many families with critically ill children. Founded officially in 1988, Project Rainbow now serves chronically ill children and adults (many of the early recipients are now adults); people with cancer, brain injuries, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, survivors of accidents and anyone facing life threatening or chronic heklth challenges. Helping to pay medical bills, assisting with securing L Sperryvilie I Jenny Millan f 987-9313 MJenmill@aol.com special or alternative therapies and paying for travel is the primary work of the group. Donations When a donation is made to Project Rainbow on behalf of a specific individual, as was recently the case with county children, Johnny Jenkins and Sydney Dodson, virtually all of the money goes directly to support that child. The benefit, aside from being able to help a child and family in need, is that donors are eligible for a tax deductible donation. Mullan estimates that because the organization has very low overhead and everything is done on a volunteer basis, the overall expenses incurred annually is two per cent which covers the cost of bookkeeping and filing of mandatory tax forms required for all non-profits. In addition to local residents, Project Rainbow has served families throughout Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware and Tennessee. The group is constantly raising money to help support its efforts and it serves 12-14 families annually. While we chatted by phone, Mullen reported that a call had come in from the Jenkins’ family visiting in Florida at a special therapy program for their disabled son Johnny. They were having a great trip boosting the spirits of Johnny, his parents and brother Hunter. A detailed report of their trip and the therapy Johnny received will be in this paper in the near future. Tb learn more about a very special organization and how you might assist Project Rainbow, or to make a donation, contact Board President Jane Mullan at 987-8978. Town news: reservoirs, renovations and movie stars The town reservoir project is underway. Construction for access to the site is expected to begin at the end of next week. Mayor Eugene Leggett says much of the project depends on the suppliers of building materials. Unlike the last reservoir, made of cement, this tank will be about twice the size, at 200,000 gallons, and made of steel, a metal in extremely short supply in the U.S. For this reason, it is impossible to predict or even estimate the completion date of the project. Mayor Leggett has estimated the cost for the new reservoir at $300,000. Wastewater project The wastewater project is also moving along. The town council is waiting for a prelimiriary engineering report which is expected to come within the next three weeks. Only after analysis of the report will they know what their options are for creating a wastewater system for the town, the approximate completion date of the project, and an estimated cost.

Out and about In other news, Middleton Inn had a surprise visitor, a AAA inspector last week. The inspector gave Middleton an excellent rating and reaffirmed its Four Diamond rating for the year 2005. Miranda Plotnick who has recently lost her home in a fire has found a home to rent temporarily. She is grateful for the financial contributions as well as the contributions of labor and time to help her move. She appreciates the support of her neighbors. A remodeled house at the edge of town has become quite a hazard, as people driving by become distracted by the build mp’s recent transformation. The house on Harris Hollow Road was bought by Congressman Tobv Moffett of Connecticut who has sunk a lot of money into the house so far. Moffett contracted one man to remodel both the interior and exterior of the house. Evan Hasslegrave has been working on the house since October and has hired his brother Oliver to assist him in painting the exterior. They are nearing completion of the exterior and expect to be entirely finished in a few months. If you’re passing by, don't be afraid to tell the two gentlemen, who are usually outside, what an excellent job they are doing. Star gazing Actor Dennis Farina is reported to have been seen perusing the streets of Little Washington. Farina has appeared in many films including "Stealing Harvard,” "Snatch!” “Reindeer Games,” “Saving Private Ryan," "Out of Sight,” "Get Shorty,” and many others. He has also appeared on Law and Order. I hope everyone had a great 4th! Vacation Bible School: ‘great learning experience’ The theme for Vacation Bible School, held at Forest Grove recently, was Japan. The decorations, with some imagination, made you feel you were in Tbkyo. It was a great learning experience for the children. We were glad to hear that Sam Thompson has returned home from the hospital. He is expected to make a full recovery. We are also glad to see Pat Ashley and Ellen Gore recovering nicely from their illnesses. Viewtown history , Concerning some Viewtown history, my husband Danny has found more first- hand accounts about the Civil War engagement at Battle Mountain, near Viewtown. A search on the Internet enabled him to find yet another book about George Custer. It mentions the Battle Mountain engagement in detail. The book, “Custer And His Wolverines” by Edward G. Longacre, is the result of over 20 years research on Custer’s Michigan Regiments. Here are some excerpts about the engagement: “ Having lost 30 men killed, wounded, (including Captain Storrs of the Sixth), and missing, Custer and Gray led the Survivors back to Amissville, where they encamped.” Source \ VlEWTOWN Linda Hitt 937-4221 is Dexter Macomber diary July 23, 1863. “ This was so much prevarication, and Custer and his men knew it. Having attacked a force of unknown size and composition without immediate prospect of support, the Michiganders had been reduced to fighting for their lives; they had extricated themselves through the sheerest good fortune. Until their last minute rescue, John Morey of the 5th Michigan feared, “We- were destined for Richmond. I said to myself, ‘How are you Libby Prison?” Days later the memory of his regiment’s near-encirclement continued to frighten Allen Rice. This line was written in his diary later. “I never want to be in as tight a place as we where in during the last battle.” Sources are Allen Rice - John Morey diaries and page 179, “Custer and His Wolverines.” Pickup Your FREE Copy Today.
