An ‘average’ day for a not so average person By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer Millionaire businessman Douglas Combs looks over his domain and at this particular moment, a mere snapshot in time, he is not pleased by what he surveys. Like Kublai Khan, he has built a pleasure dome by his own decree, but as an entrepreneur who is about to leave for a summer of wheeling and dealing in Eastern Europe, right now he is under the gun. At the age of 37, this Rappahannock resident and parttime farmer, who with his wife, Gunilla, owns a spread of 320 acres about halfway between Amissville and the Route 522 turnoff to Flint Hill, has accomplished more than most people twice his age. In his wanderings, he has lived as many lives as a reckless cat. Right now, he is sweating. The sun is overhead and he’s putting in flowers out by the gate. “This is what people don’t expect when they come from the city to Rappahannock County,” he said. “Nobody knows how much work this is.” The flowers plugged into the earth, he propels his tractor up the long drive to the house, a 10,000square-foot brick colonial, past a 14stall bam, a round blue-stone pen, a flagstone-faced guest house, past some of their 19 horses (rare Swedish Gotland ponies), three rescued donkeys and a rescued Mustang, and ground hogs that hide for their lives when he is anywhere in sight, and finally, past his chipping and putting green, browning in the summer sun. ' He jumps off the tractor. He yanks the lanyards on the two flagpoles; he’s raising the flags of America, Virginia and Sweden (for Gunilla, who is Swedish born and raised) from half mast in tribute to President Ronald Reagan, and a moment later, he plumps down on a bench on a wide flagstone patio overlooking an infinity pool with a See COMBS, Page A8 Climbing cliffs, geologists map Rappahannock County By Bruce Sloane Special to the Rappahannock News We were by a small cliff along a back road near the town of Washington. Dr. Richard Tollo put down a sledge hammer and wiped the sweat off his face. We picked up some fresh fragments he had chipped from the rock and carefully examined them through our hand lenses.

MacPhkrson Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Washington Town Council voted to begin a $20,000 study of the existing Historic District Ordinance in an effort to pinpoint historic structures and delineate the town’s longterm preservation planning. The study, by Cheryl H. Shepherd of Millennium Preserv ation Services of Warrenton, is a direct outgrowth of a lawsuit involving Worley v. the Tbwn of Washington, in which Sid and Many Catherine Worley are seeking to have the existing Historic District Ordinance declared invalid and unenforceable. The Town Council deemed the plans for their proposed home on Main Street to be incompatible with other structures in the historic district because of the construction materials that the Worleys sought to use. The study approved by the Ibwn Council last Wednesday will survey and inventory the buildings within the incorporated town limits. According to Shepherd, this inventory, when completed, will help the town See HISTORIC, Page A8 Most cell towers to be operating by mid-September By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer Most of the seven cell towers planned for Rappahannock County will be operating by mid-September, officials say. In addition to the first one reported last week—being constructed behind the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department headquarters—officials say five are now in various stages of construction and one is awaiting final FCC approval. According to ECI Wireless, a Pennsylvania-based firm that constructs some towers for Sprint PCS, their two towers, in Amissville (behind the fire department) and Ben Venue (Eastham Slope) will be completed by mid-August. The other five towers, according to Harry Ng, a spokesman for Sprint, will be up and running by midSeptember, “depending on circumstances. All will !)£ constructed between now and the end of August... though some are ahead and some are behind schedule,” he said. Of these five, two will be disguised as grain silos, one as a tree, and one as a plain pole, which is the style for See TOWERS, Page A3 Cell tower locations Most up and running by mid-September V 1 - Amissville Fire Department 2 - Nicholson Slope 3 - Eastham Slope 4 - Welch Slope 5 - Huntly Slip 6 - Rose Hill Silo 7 - Miller's Silo Source Rappahannock County Government Times Newspapers Graphic Pa ”.c Ma one Top Four Rappahannock’s boys’ baseball team finishes in Top Four in state jpurnament. i See Page A7.

People ’ artwork helps Hospice’s fall fund-raiser ARTWORK: Award-winning artist Austin Burdick receives a $100 savings bond from Michael Leake, President of Rappahannock National Bank. Burdick’s entry in the Hospice of the Rapidan art competition will aopear on greeting cards to be unveiled at Hospice's Art Show and Gate fund-raiser Sept. 18. t* By TriCia Bbpan Special^to the Rappahannock News Over 100 sixth-grjrde art students from five counties in Central Virginia submitted artwork in a recent competition to ljave it reproduced on greeting cards as a fundraiser for Hospice of the Rapidan. From 117 entries in a wide and debghtful variety of styles, judges managed to select five winners: Austin Burdick of Rappahannock, Shelby Lukachik of Culpeper, Kellie Baxter of Fauquier, Brianna Beere of Madison, and Jessica Lofgren of Orange. Judges for the competition were professional artists and art teachers selected from Hospice of the Rapidan staff, volunteers, family members, and participants in last year’s Art Show and Sale reception. They faced the difficult task of choosing just one winner from a county’s worth of entries. 1 Two volunteer judges were assigned to each county, some of whom were asked to judge entries from a county other than the one in which they lived if it was possible they might know a sixth-grader. Doreen Jenkins and Frank Brown judged for Culpeper County; Fauquier’s entries were judged by Mariam Ferentinos and Elizabeth O’Neil; Faith Jenkins and Lisa Allen judged in Madison; Orange’s artwork was judged by Wistie Jobe and Bridget Buddenberg; and Dan Lewis and Cory Caulfield were judges for Rappahannock County. The winning artwork and greeting cards will be officially unveiled Sept. 18 at an Art Show and Sale, another fund-raiser for Hospice of the Rapidan. The Art Show and Sale will be held in the Depot in downtown Culpeper at 6 p.m. when numerous civic lead ers from the area will act as servers. The artwork will also be reproduced on chefs aprons worn by these “Celebrity Servers,” which will then be for sale or auctioned later in the evening. The list of Celebrity Servers currently includes Culpeper’s Chief of Police Dan Boring; Sheriff Lee Hart; Champion Chevrolet owner Mike Nelms; Mayor Pranas Rimeikis; and David DeJamette, Vice President of Virginia Community Bank. The other students’ artwork submitted for the competition will also be on display at show. In addition to the excitement of seeing their artwork on greeting cards in the fall, the five winners were awarded a $100 savings bond each from banks in their home county: 2nd Bank & Trust in Culpeper, presented by Sue McDaniel and Sallie Slaughter; Bealton BB&T in Fauquier, presented by Carolyn Anderson; Wachovia in Madison, presented by Joe Raichel; Virginia Community Bank in Orange, presented by Doc Garnett; and Rappahannock National Bank in Rappahannock County, presented by Michael Leake. Packages of greeting cards will also be available after the Sept. 18 Art Show and Sale. Details will be posted on the Hospice of the Rapidan web site, www.hotr.org, or inquiries can be made at the Hospice office Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Hospice of the Rapidan is a licensed, nonprofit hospice organization providing skilled medical care and compassionate support to terminally ill patients and their families in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange, Rappahannock and surrounding counties. James Williams becomes new VDOT superintendent James A. Williams, a 16-year veteran of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), is the new superintendent at the agency’s Rappahannock area headquarters. Williams succeeds Ennis “Penny” Jenkins whose career spanned 48 years, all of them at Rappahannock area headquarters. After three years as an operator on a Northern Virginia sign crew, Williams joined the Warrenton residency and worked his way up the ranks as sign crew foreman, engineering technician and contract administrator. Before being chosen for his new post, he had been the maintenance superintendent for the Warrenton area headquarters for sev eral years. A lifelong resident of Chester Gap and graduate of Rappahannock High School, Williams and his wife Karyn have two children. “I have a large set of shoes to fill,” says Williams. “Mr. Jenkins had many years of service to Rappahannock County and a great amount of knowledge of our roads. He is leaving a well-trained and all-around great group of employees whom I look forward to working with and, together, to serving the citizens of Rappahannock.” Williams adds that if a citizen needs to speak to him, he/she should call the area headquarters at its new number, 987-8939, or the superintendent’s office at 987-8960. Public Notice: Acceptable Waste at Landfill, Wire, Wire Fencing and Tree Stumps The Rappahannock County Sanitary landfill will be unable to accept tree stumps and woven wire fencing (or other waste wire). Due to regulatory limits on burning and on storage space, property owners will need to dispose of stumps on their own property, or in a state approved “stump dump”. Wire fencing and wire products have caused a great deal of damage to operating equipment and the county contractors who remove recyclable metals have commenced excluding it from the material they will recycle.

Matt Gore to play baseball for Lamar University Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School stand-out Matt Gore ended senior year by signing with Lamar University. The 6’ 3” 180 pound right hander finished his senior year with a 11-2 record and a 1.02 earned run average. Gore is the son of Milton and Linda Gore of Mauriceville, Texas and 603 Gid Brown Hollow Road in Washington. He is the grandson of the late Milton Gore, Sr., and the late Amy Gore of Washington. “Matt has a good arm and is a good-looking athlete,” Lamar coach Jim Gilhgan said. “He already has a slider that’s Division I ready, and I expect him to continue to get better.” “I knew Lamar had some interest so of course that makes you work harder,” explained Gore. “That is motivation in itself and it does push you. I just tried my best, they saw that and now I get to play with them.” During his senior year, Gore pitched 71 innings, allowed just 43 hits and struck out 103 batters. He helped lead the LCM team to an outstanding finish by being one of the final eight Matt Gore teams in Division 4A to play for the Texas state championship. ^ VTRANS 2025 Long Range Plan ^ Transportation funding is scarce and it’s important that Virginia adopt a more strategic approach to transportation planning.

Rappahannock residents help family in need ft It looks like there will be money available for them to look at September’s bills. Ron Frazier Supervisor, Jackson District Bv Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News StafT Writer Back from the brink. Nancy and Jake Robinson of Castleton, were given a period of respite on the foreclosure of the mortgage on their house, thanks to the kindness and generosity of friends and neighbors, according to Rappahannock County Supervisor Ron Frazier, who led the charge to help the Robinsons escape their plight. It was an instance of what Mrs. Robinson said it was, a case of “struggling to keep our heads above water.” People came to the fore, once they had learned of the immediacy of the Robinson's need, and within hours, enough money, around $1,700, had been raised to stall the foreclosure process for a short period of time. The gifts were anonymous. A further offer was made by a potential anonymous donor who is prepared to step in should anything further be needed in the coming weeks. “I spoke with Nancy," said Ron Frazier, the supervisor for Jackson District and her long-time friend, "and worked out what their needs will be up until the First of August They should be back on their feet by then. They should be stable and on an even plane.” Furthermore, the Robinsons are going to receive help to restructure their debt, through consolidation, thus to give them tools to avoid the same near calamity occurring again The next big step will be securing a lower mortgage than their present financing of 11 1/4 percent. Frazier feels confident that this may be achieved, principally because of the Robinson’s own efforts and the equity they have built up already in their $150,000 house in Castleton. Said Frazier, “It looks like there will be money available for them to look at September’s bills.” State police, sheriff s office busy with road incidents This past week was bad for cows and driving in the rain, and once again, catastrophic for a motorcyclist on the twisting route up through Thornton Gap, according to the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office and Virginia State Police. On Monday, July 12 at 3 a.m. a Rappahannock County Sheriff’s deputy was called to Huntly on Route 522, where a woman had stopped her car in the middle of the road and gone to sleep. Awakened by the deputy, she told him that she thought she had turned off onto the side because she was very tired. No alcohol was involved, according to Major Chris Williams. The incident was reported by a driver who stopped behind the woman’s parked vehicle and turned on his “flasher” lights. Lost control of car On Wednesday, July 14, Rhonda Michelle Pullen, 21, of Scrabble Road, Castleton, lost control of the vehicle she was driving on Route 522 near Woodville. At the time, a serious thunderstorm had cut visibility and created a dangerous condition on the roads. Pullen’s 2000 Dodge Durango SUV hydroplaned off the road and hit a tree. She suffered non-life threatening injuries, and was transported by ambulance to Culpeper Hospital. Virginia State Police issued her a summons for “reckless driving, failure to maintain control” of her vehicle. Motorcycle crash On Saturday, July 17 at 1 p.m., William Henry Palmer, 52, of White Hall, Md., was driving a 2004 BMW motorcycle west on Route 211 in the first series of curves going out of Sperryville, along the same stretch of road on which there have been two fatal accidents in the last couple months. Palmer, according to Virginia State Police, was exceeding the posted speed limit. He could not maintain his position on the right side of the road, crossed the center line, and collided head-on with an oncoming 2003 Chevrolet van driven by Chong Woo Lee of Silver Spring, Md. Palmer suffered severe injuries and was brought down by ambulance to the Sperryville FHre & Rescue building, from which he was flown by AirCare helicopter to the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville. Only the day before, VDOT and the Virginia State Police had begun to install “rumble strips” in the westbound lane of Route 211 through this senes of curves in an effort to warn motorists and motorcyclists to slow down. Said 1st Sgt. Gary Settle of the State Police, “We will analyze this. We recognize this is an issue. We are working aggressively on this.” The rumble strips will be installed, as well, on the eastbound lane and should be in place by this weekend. Lost control of car Also on Saturday, July 17 at 5:30 p.m. on Route 626, a mile south of Woodville, a 16-year-old girl from Flint Hill, lost control of the 1993 Saturn she was driv ing around a curve in the road. The car overturned, and she was transported by ambulance to Culpeper Hospital with nonlife threatening injuries. She was charged with reckless driving. Cow killed Later on the same Saturday, at 9:30 p.m., Clarence Early Giles III, 33, driving a 2001 Toyota sedan west along Route 211 near Sperryville, struck a dark-skinned cow standing in the middle of the road. Giles was not injured. His car was, to the tune of $3,000 to $4,000, according to Virginia State Police. The cow died at the scene. Book tells of families who lived in three hollows The Shenandoah National Park Association announces the publication of a third book in its cultural history series: “In the Shadow of Ragged Mountain: Historical Archaeology of Nicholson, Corbin, & Weakley Hollows” by Audrey Horning. Horning,, an archaeologist who teaches at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, worked nine years at old homesites and in various archives to uncover the stories of the families who once lived in the three named hollows in Madison County in what is now Shenandoah National Park. She also studied oral interviews given by the mountain people since the park’s establishment in 1935, and she met and talked with some of their descendants. Newspaper articles and studies of the 1930s tended to stereotype the people who once lived in these hollows. As a result, they have often been perceived as “mountain hillbillies” who were “cut off from the civilized world.” Horning here presents a truer story, a story based on actual evidence from her sources, a story fuller and more balanced. She has thoroughly documented her presentation in a complete list of sources in the Endnotes. The book features hundreds of people, with a full index for easy reference and two genealogical charts. The history starts with the centuries-long activities of American Indians in the Blue Ridge Mountains, but moves quickly to the history of European land grants in the mid-17th century and then to the initial exploration of and settlements in the mountain area. The focus is primarily on Towers From Page A1 the two towers that ECI is constructing. The towers are going up near Washington by Route 211 (Miller’s Silo— after final approval from the FCC), south of Huntly on Route 522 (Huntly Silo), just west of Massie’s Comer on Route 211 (Rose Hill Silo), south of Flint Hill along Route 522 near Hickerson Mountain (Welch Slope), and dong Route 211 about halfway between Amissville and Ben Venue (Nicholson Slope).

Horning’s compelling prose and over a hundred photographs from the past and present bring this story to life. “Human history is never black and white,” writes the author. “I sincerely hope that I have succeeded in returning some color to the past and present of Nicholson, Corbin, and Weakley Hollows in the shadow of Ragged Mountain, in the place now known as Shenandoah National Park.” The book is published by the Shenandoah National Park Association, the cooperating association of Shenandoah National Park, which also published the first two books in the cultural history series: “Everything Was Wonderful: A Pictorial History of the Civilian Conservation Corps in Shenandoah National Park,” and “In the Light of the Mountain Moon: An Illustrated History of Skyland,” both by Reed L.

Monday-Friday Member, Audit Bureau of Circulations www.TimesCommunity.com THURSDAY, JULY 22, 2004 Our View Staggered terms Back in the dark ages of Virginia’s long history, in the 1700s to be more precise, Culpeper Courtty was governed by a Board of Supervisors, men who were elected in one fell swoop every four years. When Rappahannock was formed out of Culpeper in 1833, it too chose to elect its officials on this basis, probably more out of consensus than anything deeper or more devious. Nothing has changed since, except everything, and therein lies an opportunity that we think is ready for the plucking. The most obvious change to assail Rappahannock is the sheer complexity of issues with which local governments must deal. Even dozy Rappahannock has entered a zone in which mere laymen can hardly plumb the depths of state and federal requirements. And we are governed, thank goodness, by laymen who are our supervisors. By necessity, these men burn the midnight oil to keep up with issues, and their “reading in” time, according to some who know these things, is around two yetirs, about the same time it takes most people to learn to walk. Ana li lor some unknowable reasons, the voters of the county decided to throw out the lot of them— or more reasonably, if some of the five supervisors decided to retire and the others were voted out, and if, to boot, the county’s administrator decided to take a hike, county government would simply be devastated. We would be left with the equivalent of infants crawling on the carpet; mistakes would be made, suits would be filed, and monies would be thrown at the problems of keeping up. In the meantime, nothing positive would get done. The solution to such a calamity was pointed out recently by County Administrator John McCarthy, and a chord was struck. Staggered terms, though a bit awkward at the beginning, would obviate the threat of losing all the institutional knowledge at once. Staggered terms are such a fine idea, we believe, that we wonder why the matter has been allowed to rest for so long. McCarthy has one answer: “Inertia is a powerful thing,” he said, in spite of the common change in the state over the years to staggered terms. We think the time has come. We should not be left like the man who buys a fire extinguisher after his house has burned down. Before Rappahannock staggers, the county should stagger its terms, and with all due haste.

Jake and Nancy Robinson & family Castieton ‘A prayer for our nation, our people’ This is a plea for solidarity of purposely-directed prayer for the saving of our United States, its people and guidance by its leaders as we attempt to bring peace and freedom to our • world. During World War II Winston Churchill called upon his cabinet and the people of England to join their minds and hearts in a time set aside each evening ' at 9 o’clock to pray for peace and the saving of their coun try. This is being followed today by believers in the strength of unified prayer. The Sperryville United Methodist Church invites the citizens of this beautiful Rappahannock community to join our minds and hearts each evening at 9 o’clock in a simple prayer for our nation and our people. Barbara Jamieson Certified Lay Speaker United Methodist Rappahannock Charge Dog is reunited with its owners Because of your printing my letter last week in the July 15 edition of the Rappahannock News, Otter’s family has found him. Thank you. It turns out fireworks indeed scared the dog away and Oh! by the way, the dog’s real name is not Otter but Lucky. M.B. Shankle Sperry ville ‘Veterans deserve better’ As a veteran, I have watched over the past three years as the Bush/Cheney administration has said it was helping veterans, while it was in fact cutting benefits not only for veterans of Vietnam and World War II, but also for the thousands of young men and women who are returning home from service in Afghanistan and Iraq with serious injuries that deserve care and treatment by the Veterans Administration. When the person appointed by Bush as head of the Department of Veterans Affairs stated in a letter to the New York Times several years ago that it should be VA policy to not notify veterans of the benefits to which they are entitled as a means of cutting costs, I was appalled that he could even make such a suggestion. Now, national magazines and newspapers have confirmed that actual funding for veterans benefits have been cut more than $300 million in the last three years. Nearly 500,000 veterans have been excluded from enrolling in VA health care. If re-elected, Bush and Cheney plan to cut benefits for veterans by an additional $910 million. VA officials have made at least $1.1 million in inappropriate purchases at stores like Sharper Image, Radio Shack and Gap, according to a General Accounting Office report. At the same time, the VA secretary has announced the closing or partial closing of 11 VA hospitals in order to “consolidate services.” Veterans deserve better. We need to vote for a new administration that will look out for our servicemen and veterans, and will put the best interests of the American people above those of large corporations and special interests.

The Flint Hill Fire Department’s Annual Carnival starts next week on July 29 and runs through Aug. 1. A giant display of fireworks, for all to see and enjoy, will open the event on Wednesday night. 25 YEARS AGO JULY 19, 1979 Anyone who has visited Ye Olde General Store in Amissville knows that it is more than just a general store. It’s a grocery store, a tack store, and a sandwich bar all rolled into one—and if its owners, Sally and Bob Dunphy get their wish, a garden center will be added to the list next year. School Board plans to install underground gasoline tanks at the bus garage moved forward a step last week. I The Board of Zoning Appeals unanimously approved a variance on setback regulations for Levi Atkins last Thursday, legalizing the house that Atkins had already built just 30 feet from the Highway Department property line on Route 211. “When you give & man a job to do, you let him do it and then hold him strictly accountable for his performance,” stated new School Board member Robert Eastham at his first meeting last Tuesday, July 10. Eastham, in suggesting that Superintendent William Bloomer be given more opportunity to direct school affairs, introduced a resolution calling for board meetings to be limited to the 12 monthly sessions required by law. 10 YEARS AGO JULY 20, 1994 The Lombardy restaurant on U.S. 211 in Amissville quietly reopened on June 6 under new management, after being closed for sever al months.

Politicians, former leaders have changed their tunes These people are now saying that President Bush lied, that there never were any weapons of mass destruction, and that he took us to war unnecessarily. But here is what they said before: “One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.” — President Bill Clinton, Feb 4, 199S “If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.” — President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998 “He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983.” — Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb. IS, 199S “We urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.’’ — Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), Tbm Daschle (D-S.D.), John Kerry (D-Mass.), and others, Oct. 9, 1998 “Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.” — Rep. Nancy Pelosi (DCal.), Dec. 16, 1998 “We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them.” — Sen. Carl Levin (D- Mich.), Sept. 19, 2002 “We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.” — Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 “Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." — M Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 . “We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.” — Sen. Ted Kennedy (D Mass.), Sept. 27, 2002 "I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary' — to disarm Saddam Hussein, because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.” — Sen. ■John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), Oct. 9. 2002 “There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made m development of weapons of mass destruction.” — Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V), Oct 10, 2002 “He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do.” — Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Cal.r. Oct. 10. 2002 "In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapon stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program,. He has also given aid. comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists. including al Qaeda members It is clear, however, that if left unchecked Saddam Hussein wall continue to increase his capacity to w age biological and chemical warfare. and wall keep trying to develop nuclear weapons" — Sen. Hillary Clinton <DN.Y.), Oct. 10, 2002 “We are in possession of , what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has. and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction.” — Sen. Bob Graham <DFla.h Dec. 18. 2002 “Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real." — Sen. John F. Kerry (DMassJ, Jan. 23. 2003 Louise F. Achor Warrenton Traffic stops save lives and prevent crime Traffic Stops are, and will continue to be, an essential component of law enforcement in every community in America. Traffic stops present a challenge and are wrought with danger for law enforcement officers, but the results are indeed rewarding when crime, chaos and even deaths can be prevented by using this proven technique of policing. Traffic stops provide reassurance to motorists that their safety and indeed their lives are being protected. The Speaking of Security I Louis G. * Dominguez flashing lights of a law enforcement vehicle by the side of the road signify police at work. Taking a vehicle with defective equipment off of the road can save lives just as much as the arrest of a drunk driver. The high visibility offered by a police cruiser’s flashing lights on the side of the road is one of the most effective deterrents that a law enforcement agency can use to stop mischief and criminal activity. Law enforcement agencies assigning a low priority to traffic enforcement or waiting to intensify their traffic enforcement effort during brief promotional safety programs are delivering less than quality policing and indeed are being derelict in their duty to the community. Chiefs of police and sheriffs are doing a great disservice to the community when traffic enforcement is sporadic and cyclical. And they are also curtailing and indeed denying their officers an opportunity to put their learned skills and training to work for safer roads and community. According to preliminary estimates of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 43, 220 people died on the nation’s roadways in 2003, up from 42,815 in 2002. Last year, 17,400 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes. In order to combat these horrific statistics, the NHTSA is asking for high visibility traffic enforcement like saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints. According to the federal agency, speeding is responsible for more than one-third of traffic fatalities nationally and most of them occur on local, collector, and arterial roadways. The deaths on our roads are largely preventable. “With safeguarding the lives and property of our citizens being a fundamental duty for all law enforcement, it is clear then that traffic enforcement is law enforcement.” according to Otis Cox, Deputy Administrator of the NHTSA. Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for people ages 4 to 34, and the total cost of motor vehicle crashes in the United States are more than $230 billion annually. Traffic stops can prevent crime and save lives. Louis G. Dominguez, of Greenwich, is a crime prevention consultant and the president of SafeAmenca Inc. Geologists From Page A1 geologic map of part of Rappahannock County. This cliff was one small piece of this giant jigsaw puzzle. The project is part of an ongoing study of the geology of .Shenandoah National Park and surrounding areas, financed by a grant from the U. S. Geological Survey. The gi ant is for the mapping of the Washington, Va., USGS topographic quadrangle which includes Sperryville, Washington, and much of the surrounding area. Dr. Tolio already has completed mapping the Chester Gap and Old Rag quadrangles and parts of Madison County. The students are summer interns; I am a volunteer trying to brush up on my decades-old geology degrees. There was silence for a few moments as the five of us studied the rock specimens. Like most rocks in the area, it was granitic, made up of quartz, light-colored feldspar, and some darker minerals. But in the details the rocks varied widely. “It’s coarse-grained and strongly foliated,” said one of the students. “It’s not the same stuff as the last place.” She went on describing the rock. We all nodded. She held a Brunton geologic compass next to the outcrop to measure the direction of the foliation. This gives important information on the underground structure of the rock, whether it formed before or after other rocks, and how it fits into the still incomplete picture of the overall geology. This was only our first week working in the area, so we had more questions than answers. We recorded our findings, and marked the spot on the topographic map, one more dot in the geologic jigsaw puzzle. lhe rocks beneath most ot Rappahannock County are old, some well over a billion years old, and among the oldest rocks in the Appalachian Mountains. They formed from molten rock—magma--deep in the earth’s crust. A continental collision folded and faulted the rocks into a 1,000-mile-long mountain chain, the Grenville Mountains, which probably was higher than today’s Himalayas. The Grenville rocks were eroded into a flat plain. Thousands of feet of younger sediments, which later formed the Appalachian Mountains, were deposited on top of them. More eons of erosion removed much of the original rock and exposed it to the surface. Today only a remnant remains of these ancient rocks. In Virginia, they are found in a narrow belt along parts of the Blue Ridge and just to the east, including most of Rappahannock County. There were more outcrops up the hill beyond the cliff. We gathered up our equipment— rock Hammers, compasses, specimen bags, notebooks and lots of water—and headed uphill. Dr. Tbllo, a fit and sprightly man in his early 50s, led the way. The three students, all 20-something, and I followed him up the steep slope. At age 69, I was by far the oldest and I had added a few pounds in the last 45 years, so I struggled to keep up with the youngsters. We examined the outcrop. Although this rock was similar to -the one at the road, it helped fill in another blank spot on the map. Fieldwork like this—examining outcrop after outcrop with rock hammer, hand lens, and compass—has been the core of geological research for more than a hundred years. It’s still the basis for much research today, but is usually complemented by other studies. Rock samples were labeled to be carried back to the lab. There they would be carefully ground into thin sections to be examined under polarized light with the petrographic microscope. Some rocks would be chemically analyzed. This takes about 40 pounds of fresh rock per sample which has to be broken off from the outcrop into small pieces, packed in heavy plastic bags, and carried back to the vehicle. Since some outcrops were a mile or more from where we parked, I was happy to leave this task to the younger geologists. Chemical analysis, among other things, can show whether rocks from different locations that look alike are in fact the same rock. Determining the age of the rock is also important. It’s sometimes possible to tell from the field relations whether one rock is older or younger than another rock. Absolute ages are determined by isotopic dating, which is based on the radioactive decay of certain elements in the rock. This can tell within a few million years when a billionyear-old rock formed.

Earlier geologists studying the area did not have access to such accurate chemical analysis and age-dating methods and had no choice but to map several seemingly-identical-looking rock types together in one unit or formation. Our chemical analysis and isotopic dating has revealed, for example, that one rock that was originally mapped as one formation is actually three distinct rocks. They differ chemically, and one of the units is more than a hundred million years older than its seeming sib lings. We clambered back into the white government jeep and drove on to the next outcrop. We got out and gathered up our equipment. The sun was hot. The air was muggy. The slope was steep. I struggled uphill. Social Security Disability Claims • Disabled?

Neighbors History: Three men on ‘Leviathan’ during WWI This week, my husband, Danny bought an unusual item on eBay that represents some Viewtown history. The item is a beautifully framed piece of metal that was a part of the World War I troop Transport “SS Leviathan.” This item belonged to a Pennsylvania soldier who sailed to France on the ship in 1917. Three known Viewtown men went to France during World War I on the “Leviathan.” The “Leviathan “was a luxury German ocean liner that became stranded in the New York Harbor at the outbreak of World War I. It was seized by the United States and “pressed “into service as a troop transport. The original German | VlEWTOWN I Linda Hitt 937-4221 ]L c name for the beautiful ocean liner was "Vaterland.” President Wilson renamed it “Leviathan” after the capture. These men, Rollie Utz, Brown Smith, and Frank Smith of View town were inducted into the 80th Division, ( The Blue Ridge Division) 318th Regiment. After arriving at Camp Lee, Va., on Oct. 31, 1917, they trained until May 21, 1918. Leaving by train that night and arriving at Jersey City, N. J., late the next day, they were transported to the "Leviathan” for the voyage to France. Keep in mind that these men probably had not been out of the Virginia country side, their whole lives. Awaiting them in the harbor, in sight of the Statue of Liberty, was this monster of a ship that measured 289 meters long and 30 meters wide. With the three big smoke stacks towering high above the deck, this was an awesome sight for these young boys. A book “ Over the Top with the 80th Division” recounts the experiences on the “Leviathan.” It was written in 1930 by Rush Young. Young, from Virginia, was on the ship and in the same Company with Brown Smith and Frank Smith. Rollie Utz, also aboard, was in a different company. This book gives a day to day summary of all the events experienced by this group. According to Mr. Young, after loading, they were assigned to “H” section just below the water line and were not allowed to go up on the deck. He said, after the initial loading, there was great confusion since officers could not find their units. He also indicated in his book that maps of the ship were issued to the soldiers, but they were hard to understand. After many hours of confusion, just the basic locations of the mess halls and washrooms were finally learned. Enduring days of bad weather, boredom, and encounters with German U-Boats, they finally arrived at Brest, France. Brown Smith and Rollie Utz would survive the war. Brown was wounded during the initial “push” into the Meuse Argonne. He would recover and return to Viewtown. Rollie would return to Viewtown also. In his later years, during the late 1940s and early 1950s, he operated the Laurel Mills Store. Frank was killed the last night of the 80th division’s deployment in France on Nov. 6, 1918, near a little village called Sommauthe. Frank’s family had his body shipped home and he is buried in the Smith Cemetery behind the old Forest Grove School. Today’s news I want to remind everyone that they can call and email any news they have to report. Summertime is a busy season and there has been a scarcity of news for Viewtown. John Jenkins returned home from the hospital and attended church services at Forest Grove on Sunday. Ann Printz is scheduled for surgery on July 16. Our hopes and prayers are with her for a speedy recovery. ‘Singing and Pickin’ party to be held July 23 at fire hall The monthly “Singing and Pickin” party held at the Salem Fire Hall is scheduled for Friday, July 23 from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. A number of groups will be participating and food and beverages will be available by the fire department.

Sports J.D. Almond is new athletic director By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer J.D. Almond wants to make a difference. In his realm, he sees high school kayaking teams paddling down Rappahannock’s rivers and varsity mountain-biking teams tearing through its woods. He says, “The only limit is your imagination. Why do we in Rappahannock County have to be on the same track as everybody else? Use what you have to your advantage and you don’t need the Taj Mahal of sports facilities.” Almond, whose initials stand for “Jeffrey Duane,” is the newly appointed Athletic Director of Rappahannock County High School. And he thinks out of the box, probably because his background and experiences in athletics as in life were also out of the box. He has had to make do with what was given to him—and not what he would have asked for in a perfect world—for many years. Starting this month and then a new school year beginning this fall, Almond, 39, will be in charge of the athletic programs at the high school, replacing Allen Comer, who was Athletic Director for a year. Almond chose to come to Rappahannock from coaching the women’s tennis team at George Mason University, he said, “Because my wife and I are looking to have a family.” He had to settle down. “My opportunities for playing around were ending—the travel, the weekends, and long commutes.” Like most other coaches, Almond has moved often, but he was moving often well before he chose athletics for a career. Growing up, his father worked in communications for the CIA, which took the Almond family to Cyprus, and England and Laos. But Laotian and Cypriot children do not play baseball, which was Almond’s first love. He found leagues of other expatriot American kids to play with. Indeed, he was playing baseball in Laos one day in 1971 when he and the other kids on the field noticed fires on the surrounding hillside; it was the Pathet Lao, the Communist insurgents, coming to kick the Americans out, and two days later, Almond and his family were evacuated to Germany. Wherever he was, his heroes were Johnny Bench and Pete Rose, “the greatest player on the field,” Almond jokes. He was a big Cincinnati Reds fan and hated the American League. He was already thinking out of the box when the Almond family settled finally in Manassas. He lived in the sphere of the Washington Redskins but loved the Miami Dolphins, and while he was attending Longwood College in Farmville, Va., the football team he supported was the University of Ohio “Buckeyes,” because Ohio was where he was bom. When he graduated from Longwood in 1987, he felt drained of sports and too much tennis. He enjoyed talking to people and was good at face-toface encounters with strangers. With this as a background, he entered sales of computers and peripherals, but after four years, he hated it, he says. “It was way too much time in the car.” He got into coaching part time. “Tennis was where I wanted to be.” He coached women’s tennis at Chantilly High School part time in 1992, and “had a ball,” and sold computers the rest of the time to make ends meet. Chantilly led to the Notre Dame Academy in Middleburg, where he was jack of all trades, including computer teacher, dean of students, and women’s tennis coach “all at the same time,” he says. He had to learn how to innovate, and creative thinking came naturally. He had 28 women on the team and only two courts on which to play. There, he formulated how he likes to coach. “I’m a firm believer in enforcing and enforcing the basics of the sport, any sport. I take everybody, no matter what their level, back to square one and build their skills up again.” He believes in the beneficial athletic effects of bio-metrics that make physical movement more efficient and in weight training all year long. “If you don’t have the basics,” he says, “you are going to lose a game you should be winning when it gets tight.” Almond stayed at Notre Dame for nine years, rising to the position of Athletic Director, until an opportunity arose to teach tennis at the college level, at George Mason University. He stayed there for a year In November 2002 his marriage to Barbra Samph, who comes from Philadelphia, changed his views of the future. It was time to buckle down. Almond has close-clipped dark sideburns, a billiard-table flat flattop, a ready, genuine smile, and a welcome sense of humor. At Rappahannock, he wants to increase participation in sports among students at all levels of ability. In order to achieve this goal, he feels that his coaches have “to sell sports participation. There’s a place for everybody. You have to have fun. Yes. You have to win, but it isn’t everything. The object is to have fun and get everybody J.D. Almond working for the team. The wins’ will come.” Even at mountain biking and kayaking. Rappahannock finishes in Top Four in state tournament By Hodge Miller Special to the Rappahannock News Rappahannock’s District X Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken Division Champion All-Star baseball team finished in the Tbp Four last weekend at the Babe Ruth Virginia Baseball Tournament in Greenville, Va. Babe Ruth District Champions’ Glen Allen (of Richmond), Greene County, Herndon, Manassas, Northeast Augusta, Rappahannock, Southern Augusta and Williamsburg met at Rivershead High School to decide top Virginia baseball honors. In the first round of the state tournament, Rappahannock squared off with Northeast Augusta (NEA). Based on tournament play throughout the year, Northeast Augusta was am early favorite to finish in the top two places. Rappahannock’s team did not bother to listen to the experts.

NEA scored one run in the fourth inning to tie the score, and one more in the top of the fifth inning to lead Two Rappahannock wrestlers spend summer competing By Jeanne Spath Special to the Rappahannock News Most high school athletes are taking it easy this time of the year. Summer break. Time for swimming pools, family vacations and picnics. However, for two Rappahannock County High School wrestlers, this is the time of the year to challenge themselves. Rising senior Morgan Blubaugh competed in the Commonwealth Games Sunday at the Christiansburg Recreation Center in Christiansburg, taking third in the combined Cadet/Junior Division in Freestyle wrestling. For Blubaugh, this is a new style of competition. Earlier in the off-season he had traveled to Colonial Forge High School to try Greco-Roman wrestling. Both styles are international styles of wrestling which are seen in the Olympics. Freestyle wrestling combines tilts and turns to score points on an opponent while being able to incorporate moves using the legs of the wrestler. Greco-Roman is a bit more challenging because those same tilts and turns can only be done using the upper body. A third style of wrestling is the type Blubaugh has been used to at the high school level, Folkstyle wrestling. While the new styles are a bit different, Blubaugh feels learning these Girls* basketball camp There will be a girls’ basketball camp from July 26 through July 29 at the Rappahannock County High School.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Rappahannock pushed two more runs in on a pair of run scoring singles by Evan Espinola and John Lezcano. NEA fought back to tie the score in the top of the sixth inning. NEA then brought in the staff ace to pitch the final inning. Matt Case singled, Conner Miller drew a walk, and Coy Ferrell was hit by a pitch to load the bases with two outs. This brought Evan Espinola to the plate. Evan hit a hard line drive that handcuffed the first baseman and drove in the final run for the victory. Second round In the second round, Rappahannock faced off with Greene County. This was a typical hard fought battle between two familiar teams, having played each other three times earlier in the year. Green County drew first blood scoring one in the first inning and two new styles will help him in the Varsity season. Blubaugh placed third in the Bull Run District this past season and fifth in the Region. His goal is to place higher in both for the upcoming year. The other wrestler is a newSee WRESTLERS, Page A8 in the second inning. Rappahannock scored two in the bottom of the second to trail by one. This battle continued through the fifth inning and saw Rappahannock trailing 108. Greene County then scored six runs in the top of the sixth inning to put the game out of reach. Rappahannock was unable to score in its half of the sixth inning and the game ended with Greene County on top 16-8. The Rappahannock attack was led by John Lezcano with a home run, a triple and a pair of singles; Coy Ferrell with a double and a triple; Patrick Hanberry with two singles; and Bull Trollinger had to double. Third round This dropped Rappahannock into the losers’ bracket to face Williamsburg in the third round. Rappahannock and Williamsburg did not score in the first inning.

Combs From Page A1 view that seems to go into infinity. “I get up at 4 o’clock to run the computer to work the Asian and European markets. I go outside 9 or lOish to prepare the hayfields, and work in the flower garden. My kids are so sick of flowers they say they will live in cement houses when they grow up. From 11 to 12, I work with associates in Washington, D.C., until 3. I then get on the tractor to get the hay in. Then I rush to the bloody golf course to get 18 holes looking like I just got off the hayfield, and when I come home, I grab a bite to eat, go out in the dark to bush hog until one in the morning, and then the Asian markets are open again. That’s not an exaggeration. It’s every day.” His daughter Catherine, 14, soon to be a freshman at Liberty High School, smiles at her father the way 14-year-olds often do, with a mixture of hostile tolerance and deep pity. “The flowers are beautiful to look at but I’m going to live in a place when I grow up where flowers take care of themselves.” Combs adds, “First it's spring flowers, then it’s summer flowers, then it’s fall flowers. It never stops.” He jabs a finger in the air. “Did I mention how you also drive into Washington at 85 miles an hour for a meeting and get home in time to get on the tractor again to bush hog°” He looks around him as if something feral is about to pounce. “Oh, and I have a rifle always loaded and waiting for mv wife to turn her back and I can shoot the ground hogs.” So much for Kublai Khan. Doing it all himself But if he is a millionaire businessman, why doesn’t he pay an army of workers to do the farming, cut the hay, plant the flowers, and shoot the vermin, and whatnot? Isn’t that how it is supposed to be? There are two reasons why, he says: “One, because nobody we ever hired—and I was paying $20,000 a month when we lived where we used to in Fauquier County—did the job the way I wanted it done. And two, if you have a tenant farmer bring in your hay, your property looks like hell because they get to you when they get to you. It’s better to do it yourself.” He upgrades the tirade. “You get out here and you work yourself to death. I’m 37 and I feel like death and look like I’m 50, and I have one daughter who is a year away from driving a car, and where the hell did my life go? I moved here from the hustle and bustle of life in Vienna (Austria) and what happened? I don’t ever wonder what day of the week it is. I wonder what month it is.” And, despite indications to the contrary, he really is not complaining. fie says, “Just listen for a moment to the silence out here. It’s beautiful, just beautiful.” Pairs of bluebirds fly by, swifts skim the surface of his pool, butterflies crowd an eponymous bush, the clouds drift by, the family’s seven chickens cluck in the hen house. When he stops talking and listens and watches, he knows why he moved to Rappahannock six years ago. He loves the place. Combs is a true original, who thinks so far out of the box you would think the cube had not yet been invented. He is an entrepreneur who is competing against invisible adversaries all over the world. In his mind, they are younger, faster, smarter. And to succeed, he has to get the drop on them all, 24/7. Plus do the hay. Finding Rappahannock The Combs’ family moved to northern Virginia, “because of our kids,” says Combs. “We could have gone anywhere.” They bought Bellevue, a mansion in Fauquier County, which they sold in 1998 (to AOL founder Steve Case) “because we felt crowded,” says Nurulla. ine land around Bellevue was subdividing into lots. We wanted to get closer to wildlife and have more space to ride (horses) on. And we moved to Rappahannock. I thought it would be neat to have our own hay, but now I’ve got gray hair from it. Talk about pressure! I admire farmers. They are amazing people.” Since his arrival in Rappahannock, Combs has served on the Virginia State Council for Higher Education; he has started the Combs Cup, a unique golfing tournament for high schoolers; and he was named Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy, appointed by President Bush. He was recruited by the Pentagon for the first team to enter Iraq in 2003 after the principal fighting ended. In State From Page A7 to give Rappahannock the lead it would never relinquish. In the bottom of the third inning, Rappahannock pushed five runs across to lead 6-0. In the bottom of the fourth inning Rappahannock scored three quick runs to lead 9-0 with no outs and still had the bases loaded. Chris Garcia entered as a pinch hitter and singled home two runs to push Rappahannock to 11-0, which ended the game by slaughter rule. Leading the Rappahannock offensive attack was Patrick Hanberry with a triple and two singles; John Lezcano with two singles; Coy Ferrell with two singles; Evan Espinola with a double; Matt Case with a single; and Chris Garcia with a single. Fourth round In the fourth round Rappa hannock faced off with Glen Allen of Richmond. Glen Allen was an early favorite to finish in the top two spots of the tournament. Glen Allen scored four runs in the first inning on three walks and a single after several Rappahannock miscues. Glen Allen went on to score 10 runs to record a five-inning shutout. Rappahannock hit the ball hard all day long, but every ball was hit directly at a Glen Allen fielder and they made all the plays. Rappahannock’s loss left the team in fourth place. The top three teams were Glen Allen, Greene County and Manassas. The Rappahannock team played with the heart of a champion and each player should be congratulated on such a fine season. The Rappahannock coaches and large fan base are very proud of this group of fine young men. We left the tournament with quite a few fans from around the state. Congratulations guys! Wrestlers From Page A7 comer to Rappahannock County High School, a transfer student from Riverheads High School in Staunton. Doug Bradley, a rising sophomore, competed in the National High School Coaches Association Tbumament at the Pavilion at Virginia Beach early in July. Bradley competed in Folkstyle competition where he placed sixth in the nation, earning him All-American status. This is not his first trip to a national tournament. His first was in 2001 when he traveled to Fresno, Calif., for Greco-Roman and Freestyle competition. It was then that he became a 2x All-American, placing second in the Nation in Greco and sixth in Freestyle. No stranger to a wrestling mat, Bradley has been traveling all over the country since he was seven years old and has faced many challengers whom he has seen wrestle at the state level for their Varsity teams. <|toth wrestlers have been encouraged by their coach, Eric Spath who also took to the mat in competition this summer. Coach Spath came to Rappahannock County High School last season as the head coach. He has realized that if he expects his wrestlers to push themselves to be the best they can be, he must practice what he preaches. Spath, also a 2x All-American prior to coming to RCHS, traveled to Virginia Beach with Bradley, his step-son. He competed in the Open College Division, placing second in the nation and adding his third AllAmerican status to his resume. Coach Spath welcomes any Rapp wrestlers to come to open mat Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 5 p.m. through the second week in August to get back into shape for the Varsity season. He also encourages those who are interested in the sport, but don’t know much about it to stop by and see what it is all about. “We have some new things going on this upcoming year,” said Spath, “including some additions to the room, hosting a fall tournament and a plaque to honor pqst and present AllState, All-Region and AllDistrict wrestlers.” Baghdad, living in Saddam Hussein’s Republican Palace, he was Senior Adviser to the Proconsul for State Owned Enterprises and Business Development. Reluctantly, he turned his back on a mess of the reconstruction, he says, and instead buried his energies in the place where he started, in Eastern Europe, trading. Traded in 60 countries In his young life, he has traded, bv his own count, in 60 countries—steel, coal, timber, iron ore, electricity, natural gas, and on and on. Once in Morocco he was playing golf in a foursome with King Hassan II, and he impulsively bought 80 percent of the country’s annual crop of coriander seeds between the fourth and the seventh holes, and he did not know what corianders were, much less what they are used for. “I shook the king’s hand (on the deal) and I didn’t have a clue. But I made a couple of calls afterwards." And he made a profit. Once in the Black Sea port of Constanza, he made demurrage legend with ships containing manganese ore. He paid the tug owners to keep out his competitor's ships out of port for long enough to get his own ships in and out of port with the cargo, and what made that great for Combs, he says, was not only the money. It was crushing his competition. This kind of drive—with his red hair and beard that sometimes can make him look like he is on fire—is what you get when you have literally run from your past. His was brought up in southern Indiana—”a redneck, whitetrash community," he says. He graduated from high school as a junior “to escape from poverty. The marines (US. Marine Corps) were my ticket.” He was 17 when he joined for a four-year tour and was consistently the youngest one of his peers to advance in rank. He was a sergeant at 20, and he was given the honorific of Marine Corps embassy duty. Serving in Prague, he met his future wife, Gunilla, who was a Swedish foreign service officer. He convinced her to marry him. He had prospects, and Gunilla says his energy was not hard to see. On his discharge from the service, the couple moved to Vienna, where Combs earned a speedy bachelors’ degree from the American Webster College’s satellite campus in Austria. The couple had two children, Catherine, and Lisa, who is now 11, and a student CM. Bradley Elementary School in Warrenton. Combs started his climb, which was more like an advance on a beachhead. For most normal people, Combs can be exhausting to be around; he even exhausts himself seemingly without knowing it. As a recent visitor was leaving his back patio, he pointed to a tabby cat named Tiger (one of the family’s 10 cats) lazily stretched out in the shade of a wooden outdoor table. Combs was outraged. “Look at that! You are better off being an animal here than a person.” Historic From Page A1 write a new Historic Ordinance “that will establish within legal limits design review standards for development in the town which are compatible with Washington's Historical, small town character.” The need not only grows out of the Worley lawsuit, but in general, of an existing ordinance which categorizes all buildings as historic in the town. This came about in 1985 when the Virginia Landmark Register and National Register of Historic Places designated the town, but not any individual buildings, as “perhaps the best preserved of the Piedmont’s county-seat communities,” according to the National Register of Historic Places. Indeed, while the town is a landmark, no individual buildings or structures are designated by anybody as historic landmarks. According to Washington Mayor Eugene Leggett, a new ordinance should attempt “to make sure it is effective to do what it is meant to do,” specifically with respect to determining what will and will not be allowed within the town’s historic district. At the present time, every structure in the town, because of the town’s landmark designation, can be thought of as historic. As Ed Barton, chairman of the town’s Architectural Review Board, pointed out, “The designation of historic is being extended to everything within the incorpo rated limits (of the town). That’s the way it went. A building was designated historic whether it was a new building or the (old) courthouse. That’s ridiculous.” At the council meeting, one of the regulars in attendance, Claybert Smoot, put the conundrum more succinctly, asking, ‘What’s historic?” meaning, what buildings and structures in the town are historic? Nobody in the front of the room answered Smoot on specifics, except to say that everything in the incorporated limits is historic. Said Mayor Leggett, “In general, for our own good, it is important to have an ordinance that is clear enough that the ARB knows how to direct inquiries without ambiguities. They have to balance it out to allow consistency and still allow for individuality.” Other items discussed concerned an access road that the town is creating for construction of its new reservoir next to the old one off Piedmont Street. The town is putting in a metal gate and a stone wall at the road’s entrance to allow access to construction vehicles to the new reservoir, which will hold 200,000 gallons. Construction of the reservoir has not yet begun. In closed session, the council discussed new wastewater treatment plans for the town. A decision was made to meet Aug. 3, after reviewing the wastewater treatment plant in Sperryville, to determine whether this plant might be expanded to handle Washington’s waste water. Free!

She has been given every reason tb believe that her ambitions are not merely a 19-yearold’s fairy-dust dreams. Last month, at the Actors, Models, and Talent Competition in Orlando, Fla., Ruth Ann, whom her local Vienna, Va., agency had selected to represent them, scored big by finishing second in the runway competition, third in the swimsuit competition, and receiving an honorable Mention in the acting competition out of 1,200 contestants. Better still, of the 111 agent scouts from around the world who attended the Orlando event, 30 asked her to get in touch, where a more usual number for many if not most of the other young women was eight or nine, i With names like 1 Trump and 4 Ehte, and other agencies from Milan, Athens, * Montreal, Paris and London, j competing for " her attention, she clearly is sitting in the top of the mod eimg uec. This is 4 remarkable for a young woman who does not even count herself as particularly pretty. At least she says that other young women at Rappahannock County High School i from which she graduated in June are as pretty, and she describes her success in quite business-like terms. “It’s all measurements,” she explains, meaning height and weight and sizes to \vear the clothes. WJjat is more, it also has to do with having aji “in” look. For instance, she says that this year the look that is most in style includes “big eyes and a doll’s face.” Her look, she says, is “European and New^fork,” which at the moment means clean-cut and girl-next-door. It is just as well that she fits the “in” look right now. She cbuld never be an astronaut. This does not mean what it sounds like. Ruth Ann wanted to be an astronaut when she was little, growing up in Rappahannock at her parents’, Jim and Evelyn, farm in Castleton. A cousin told her that astronaut# could not wear glasses, and she wore glasses, but the same cousin said she was cute and should be a model. She has always had a theatrical bent that may have copie from her mother, who teaches music and music appreciation at Wakefield Country Day School, and is a voice teacher. Each of Ruth Ann’s three brothers and two sisf ters either sings or plays a i musical instrument. Ruth Ann has studied ballet for 12 years, she sings beautifully, including the National k Anthem at this year’s grad uation, and at l RCHS, she played lead roles in “The Crucible,” “A Christmas Carol,” “Our Tbwn,” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The problem for I Ruth Ann was not interest or ambi tion, it was how to get started—how to make the jump from high school theatricals to the workaday world of modeling. She signed up to model back-to-school clothes on a runway at Manassas Mall last fall, and the coordinator of that show gave her a card and told her to call a “feeder” agency named New Faces in Vienna, Va. She went for it, and the next stop, it seemed, was Orlando. She is quite matter-of-fact, even downright hard on herself, when it comes to self appraisals. "I’m a loner actually,” she said. “I’ve never been popular or interested in fame, and I was raised modestly but to be confident in myself.” Her parents, Jim and Evelyn Oyster, are appropriately proud of her, and their interest in her ambitions seems healthy and grounded. “When kids dream, you want to encourage them,” says her mother, Evelyn. “Jim kids her by saying he’s going to be her manager; I’m going to be her mom-ager. We encourage all our kids to go where their interests lie. As parents, we have been encouraging to her, but she pursued this. I’m very proud of what she has done, and I marvel at the doors that are open for her right now.” Just to iifcure that her bases are covered, if for one reason or another the New York agencies decide on a new “in” look at the last moment, Ruth Ann is prepared. She has received a $7,000 performing arts scholar-. ship at NOVA, and eventually she would like to teach acting and music, but for right now, she calculates that time is precious. “I need to jump into modeling now,” she said, because the work is based on the look and youth, which is fleeting. “School lasts, and if modeling doesn’t work out, I don’t mind going to school.” Somehow, looking at Ruth Ann and hearing her determination, it seems doubtful that she will be gracing the halls of ivy any time too soon.

They identify us at birth and sometimes must Identify us In death as well. They follow us always. 1 There Is another kind of print we can leave as an Individual. We can leave “Godprlnts” throughout our lives. God touches others through us as well as through His Word. When we are patient In trial, strong In the midst of chaos, meek in the face of haughtiness, or reassuring p when a friend Is in tears; we Wi leave “Godprlnts". ® Romans 8:14 and 16 tells us... “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God...It Is the Spirit Himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” Would you like to bear witness to the love of God In your life? Do you wish for others to know by your actions that you are a child of God? Perhaps your faith will Inspire a friend or an acquaintance to come to know the Lord. “I want what he [or she] has...the peace and the joy.” Others may be looking to you for Inspiration and guidance. Won’t you leave your “Godprints" this week as you worship at your local church or synagogue? •INOAl M-'NDAl IIMMl vUUM'DAl- JHIK'IMV IRIDU sAll-RUU I limothy I Iimoihv 1 IteMln 1 lim-tln I limo-hv 2 Ikaothv 2 liuoili.

Dodson, Inspiring by Randy Minter IN REMEMBRANCE While death may mark the physical cessation of being, the influence of those who came before us lives on. As long as there are memories and the continued influence of loved ones, our parents and grandparents inhabit our minds and hearts. In many cultures, deceased ancestors remain part of the lives of their surviving relatives by virtue of formrn visitations. Just as Americans regularly visit graves on holidays, birthdays, and days of final departure, the Japanese take time off each August to pay homage to their dearly departed. At that time of year, people flock to the cemeteries to visit ancestral graves, pray, and ask for their ancestors intercession in hopes that it will make a difference in their lives. Our connection to our loved ones through our spirits never ends until our own life ends, and then who knows? At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave. Warrenton, we celebrate our connections to each other as we plan a funeral which, more and more are celebrations of a life lived and shared.
