The showdown in Congress this week on gun control found Virginia's senators on the same side.
(-------------)
[take pinnacle board # 1000]

On Friday, the Senate approved a bill that would require background checks for anyone buying a firearm at a gun show.
The measure passed by just one vote, 48 to 47.
Both Chuck Robb and John Warner voted against it.
[take pinnacle board # 1001]

A few minutes later, the Senate voted to table, or set aside, an amendment that would have required Internet sites selling guns to be federally licensed.
That vote was 50 to 43.
Again, both Robb and Warner voted against tabling the bill.

[SOT tape 1 10:52:58]
((JAMES PANDAPAS/POND'S FORMER OWNER: THE IDEA WAS, IN BUILDING A POND WE'D MAKE THIS A RECREATION AREA AND RESERVE IT FOR JUST THE EMPLOYEES.)) [RUNS:09]
Years later, Pandapas opened the pond the public.
He says THAT was a bad decision, considering the amount of trash people used to leave behind.
Then in 19-83, Pandapas sold the land to the Jefferson National Forest for 100- thousand dollars, with the understanding that the forest service would make improvements.
Most recently, the forest service re- located some 14 miles of trails, and is even working on a handicapped- accessible path around the pond.

PEOPLE COME OUT OF BLACKSBURG TO RIDE THEIR BIKES ON IT-- WALK, HIKE, OR RUN ON IT AND THEY STILL USE PANDAPAS POND HERE. WE GET ABOUT 125,000 PEOPLE A YEAR. )) [RUNS:19]
The pond is stocked with bass and trout, to the delight of fishermen of all ages.
And some people just come here for a quiet nap in the sunshine...
Even though the area is well- utilized, the forest service keeps it clean thanks to help from Boy Scout troops, local bike clubs and local senior citizens.

These days, the 83-year-old's health doesn't permit him to come back here very often-- it's been three years since his last visit.
But it's easy to see that he takes great pleasure in knowing OTHERS are enjoying the peaceful spot HE discovered so many years ago.
