Man convicted in brother's death FAIRFAX (AP) A 19-year-old Franconia man who said he killed his brother while trying to save his father has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter. A Circuit Court jury on Thursday recommended a maximum sentence of five years in prison for Aaron Farley, convicted in the September 30 slaying of his brother, Christopher Farley, 22. Judge Johanna Fitzpatrick set sentencing for Feb. 9. The defense characterized the dead man as a drug user who had fits of violence.
Witnesses for the defense testified that Christopher Farley often kicked holes in the wall, fought with his brother and threatened to kill his father. He once took a glass table top and slammed it over his father's head, slicing open his forehead, according to testimony. His mother, Lydia Farley, testified that Christopher Farley had rammed her hand through a wall and broken her finger while she was trying to calm him down in his room. "One thing is clear: because of drugs, Christopher Colleges lold Greekfest 'summit' VIRGINIA BEACH (AP) llege leaders attending a summit on the Labor violence in Virginia Beach said Friday it was tinto put aside the hard feelings of the past and start anning for Labor Day 1990. "The general consensus iwe're going to much as possible to forget out the negative feelings and concentrate on thpositive planning for the future," said Gerald D.
a spokesman for Norfolk State University, thich sponsored the meeting. Last year's holiday weeded was marred by violent confrontations betven young people and police. More than $1.4 milie in damage was reported by merchants whose ores were looted and hundreds of people, mostyoung blacks, were arrested. The city said the problenvas too many people in too small an area. The cityhd no role in the gathering, and young people clined the city went out of its way to make them feel uvelcome.
About nine years ago, suents from predominantly black schools began gtering at Virginia Beach for an informal end-of-th-smmer party. Two years ago, the city asked the stdnts to move from one of the smaller beaches to teresort strip because of complaints by residents. In 1988, a promoter labeled the event Greekfest, though it did not have the blessing of any minor national disfraternity or sorority. There were some turbances when a dance at the Pavilion was oversold and many ticketholders were turned away. Last year, the city estimated more than 100,000 young people jammed the city's 26-block-long oceanfront strip.
When looting broke out, police in riot gear backed by the National Guard and state police cleared the streets. An independent citizens' group, the Labor Day Review Commission, has been meeting for several months to formulate recommendations to the City Council for the coming Labor Day. Elaine Witty, Norfolk State's dean of education chairman of the day-and-half meeting, said a and list of recommendations would be forwarded to the Council and the commission. The commission's City recommendations are expected in early February. She said a final draft of the recommendations would be released at a later date.
Officials from 26 predominantly black colleges and universities and representatives from 22 various organizations and agencies from 14 states totaling more than 100 people attended the meeting, according to Tyler.

For The Record revealed that Shipe had cashed $4,300 in checks from the school, but each check bounced. Testimony in the trial revealed that Parr, who cashed the checks, knew Shipe did not have the money in her account. Shipe, 32, testified she had every intention of paying the money back as soon as she received an insurance settlement from an auto accident in Lynchburg in 1987. In order to convict the women, the Commonwealth would have.

David Scalf noted there were some similarities between the holdup Friday and the robbery of a 12th Street convenience store last week. "It's similar but a little bit of a difference in description. It could be," Scalf said. In Friday's holdup, police were looking for a black male, 6-feet tall with a slim build, about 28-years-old, wearing a blue jeans Of that amount, just over $2 million was allocated for the program's crisis component.

"The goal of the program is to expose teachers to the ways emerging technologies can be used in the instructional process and to provide them with access to those technologies before they become readily available in the school division," said Tom Morgan, director of the governor's school. Teachers in Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford, Campbell and Lynchburg will be able to check out equipment for use in their own schools, after completing training seminars. This year's seminars will focus on the use of CD ROM, video disc and video microscope technologies.
The grant was awarded based on the success of a small pilot project last year which was funded by the five member school divisions of the governor's school, formerly known as the Central Virginia magnet School. The school recently received a donation of an electron microscope from St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia.

He reacted the way any 18-year-old might have acted under the circ*mstances. His brother was getting more and more violent as time went by." The defense said Christopher Farley began choking his father in yet another fight, and Aaron Farley killed him with a .22 caliber revolver. The prosecution charged Aaron Farley with firstdegree murder, arguing that he had resolved to kill his brother long before the Sept. 30 shooting. "It's easy to throw dirt on a dead man," Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Elizabeth Chichester told the jury.
"Christopher Farley was a drug user, but there is more to this case than the killing of a bad boy by a good boy." On Sept. 30, testimony indicated that Christopher Farley had a party in the house. He and his father had an argument. Aaron Farley testified that he heard a thump, his father being knocked to the floor.
