Last year June brought 15.4 inches of rain in Sperryville according to weather watcher Dennis Wingfield including the flood of June 26-27. So far this month more than six inches have fallen including 3.24 on Sunday, and 1.27 inches on Tuesday before 7 p.m., Mr. Wingfield said. The past weekend was particularly wet with .74 inches Friday and .46 inches Saturday besides Sunday’s rain. Tuesday’s, rain presented problems for the schools preparing for an early dismissal during exam week. Flash flooding prevented seven of the 21 buses from going out for a normal afternoon run. The bus that goes through Rock Mills never was sent out as school cars delivered chil dren home and others were picked up by their parents. Other buses were rerouted to avoid areas in the county where roads were closed. School administrators said they worked closely with the Sheriff's Office and VDOT in deciding what routes buses could travel. Superintendent David Gangel said they considered closing early even though this would disrupt exams, but by the time they had the warning, it was already too late to avoid flooding, and high winds were also predicted. Monday morning school was delayed two hours because of high water. Overnight the bridge at Rock Mills was closed to through traffic because of high water. Early Monday morning VDOT crews went out to reopen the road and remove debris that had .piled up.

John Warner over Jim Miller by nearly 60 percent to 40 percent. Mr. Miller ran better in Rappahannock than in the state as a whole where he trailed Sen. Warner 34 percent to 66 percent. Two years ago, when Sen. Charles Robb was challenged in a Democratic party primary, only 10.9 percent of the county’s registered voters voted. Mr. Warner carried - all voting precincts in the county except Chester Gap, where Mr. Miller garnered 28 votes to Mr. Warner’s 18. Chester Gap had the lowest voter turnout, with only 17 percent of registered voters voting. Amissville’s turnout percentage was the highest, with 27 percent. Registrar Nancy Leake predicted that there would be more interest in this primary than the one two years ago judging by calls to her office. In the meantime, on Saturday, county Democrats joined others from across the state in choosing Democrat Mark Warner for their party’s standard bearer in the U.S. Senate race. He told those at the Hampton convention that he is the “right Warner for our future.” fefi: 3ft Amissville ’ W. , - « ^ ■ Chester Gap A,V- >J* Flint Hilt v' - 1 ' » * T '« Scrabble Sperryville ti&i&z Washington County Total: John Warner .-C-’.J.... .‘‘U* ' 108 •' kWjr: ' V l ^ Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahon Jim Miller, right, campaigned in Chester Gap Monday night and visited with Ron Frazier and Rick Wood. : From Uruguay to Valedictorian in Two Years Rappahannock News Stall Photo bv Sharon Kilpatrick Tano Gomez prepares to leave Rappahannock for college. By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The valedictorian of the RCHS Class of 1996 is Cesar Sebastian Gomez Albero, more familiarly known as “Tano.” Tano came to Rappahannock in his junior year as a Youth for Understanding exchange student living with the Clark family in Tiger Valley. He is front Tacurembo, Uruguay, a city of about 45,000 people in a Spanish speaking country in South America where winter and summer seasons are the reverse of those in the United States. At the time he first came he was planning on returning to Uruguay to continue his high school studies. Then he planned to attend university in Uruguay and return to the United States for graduate school. Instead, he returned to the United States and Rappahannock County for his senior year, staying this year with the Klatko family in Sperryville. Rather than being sponsored by an exchange student program, Tano’s second year was sponsored by the high school directly. Tano said he changed his plans after observing that in American schools there was much more opportunity for hands on use of computers and the latest technology. “I love computers,” he said. He also believes familiarity with computers will be required in the future. And the teaching style is different here with less emphasis on theory explained in lectures and more opportunity to experience things directly in labs, he said. Now he is planning on attending Bridgewater College in the fall to major in physics. Since that is a fairly small school, Tano believes it will have the same advantages he observed at Rappahannock County High School. Unlike large universities, undergraduates at Bridgewater have access to all the school’s technological equipment. That is also unlike what he would have found in university in Uruguay where thousands of students would be trying to use the school’s few computers. Tano has managed to earn all “A”s during his two years at Rappahannock, and he has not shied away from the difficult courses. This year he took Advanced Placement Government, Advanced Placement English, Calculus, Architectural Drawing, Problem Solving (a math class using computers), and Public Speaking. Although he had studied English for eight years before coming, Tano was not certain what to expect of schools here. He thought he might be put back with younger students. Certainly he did not expect to become the class valedictorian. He feels his academic success is not because RCHS is easy, but because the teachers are understanding, willing to explain again for a non-English speaker, and because their more hands-on teaching style is the way he finds learning easiest. His first six weeks in school were the most difficult, and math class was harder than English class, he explained. He had to learn new terms and definitions. English was more what he had been used to in English classes in Uruguay. The hardest thing to get used to about Rappahannock was the dependence on automo-' biles. In his home city he could get almost anywhere he wanted to go by walking. Here hej could not drive and found he always had tp depend on someone else to get anywhere. Still life here is “nice,” he said. “Life here is slower than at home.” Here it is quiet, no cars, police sirens and ambulances going past the house at all hours of the day and night. At home his house was two blocks from a hospital, and those were the sounds of night time. He said he was surprised to find a place like Rappahannock County. His image of America was formed by TV. He expected to find crime See Tano, Page A-i

Tombstone Advertising Contest Provides Pizza By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer , To celebrate being chosen as one of the top 50 classes nationally in a Topibstone ad campaign contest, Paula Moore’s home economics class at RCHS had a pizza and Pepsi party last Wednesday morriing. Dennis Suglia, district sales manager for Tombstone Pizza out of the Fairfax office, showed up with two portable ovens and plenty of pizza, both Tombstone and a new product, DiGiorno pizza, for the lucky students. After Pepsis and slices were passed around to all the students, Mr. Suglia explained to the students about the company that makes Tombstone pizzas. Their parent company is Kraft, which is in turn owned by Philip Coates Earns B.S. Degree Robin Michelle Coates graduated Cum Laude from Mary Washington College on May 11 with a B.S. degree.

Ms. Moore said that her students entered the contest as part of their study of marketing and advertising. Tombstone was looking for some new ideas for new TV,commercials, and opened up the ad competition to schools nationwide. Out of 3,000 contest entries, 50 were judged the best in the country, including the RCHS home economics class’s idea. Actually, two sets of students from the class each entered their ideas, and no one knows which of the two ideas was actually selected in the top 50. One idea centers around a family eating pizza, with only one piece left. The grandparents are fighting over it and the piece of pizza ends up in the air, and is caught by a baby who eats it. The baby speaks his first word: Tombstone. The other story showed a fellow walking with an armful of groceries, with Tombstone pizzas on top. He gets hit by an 18-wheeler. From his grave, he says, “Bring me my Tombstone.” Someone brings him a tombstone saying R.I.P. on it. He asks again, “Bring me my Tombstone pizza.” Someone brings the pizza, and he sits up in his grave to eat it. The ads consisted of at least seven pages of story boards with pictures and drawings. Mr. Suglia asked trivia questions during the pizza party and correct answerers were given a prize. Prizes included baseball and football cards, a hat, a stuffed animal, a country music poster and The home economics students involved in the contest were: Keri Baldwin, Sabrina Carter, Willie Collins, Angela Fletcher, Carla Johnson, Eve Proper, Teri Shenk, Tracey Thomas, Kim Weakley and Melissa Zim.

The Ford sustained $ 1,000 damage-. the women, was unharmed and has gone to live with friends of one of the women’s families, according to Robbie Brockwehl, a Shenandoah National Park public information officer. Last Friday, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force sent a letter to Attorney General Janet Reno asking that the crime be investigated as a possible hate crime. Friends of the two women have told the media that the two women were lesbians. Anyone who may have seen the women between May 24 and June 1 is asked to call 1 -888-856-2467. A hike is being organized in memory of the two women and will be held beginning at 9 a.m. on Sunday, June 23. Hikers are asked to meet at a parking lot at milepost 42.5 on the Skyline Drive, which is on the east side of the Drive, across from the south entrance to Skyland. The hike will begin at the upper trailhead of White Oak Canyon. For more information call She-la Maroon at 675-3096.

Chris Stone Graduates Chris Stone received a B.S. , degree summa cum laude with a . major in professional accountancy and computer information systems • from David Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tenn. on May 4. Mr. Stone is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dean Stone of Amissville and a graduate of RCHS. Principal Jack Raines: There Is Love Behind the Crust By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON ' Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Jack Raines, the principal of Rappahannock County High School, takes everything seriously and nothing too seriously, which is why people initially meeting him often walk away puzzled. Last year when he was RCHS athletic director, for example, a prospective parent asked him whether there was a girls’ soccer team at the school. Mr. Raines let out a loud, highpitched cackle from his throat and replied, “What kind of school do you think this is? We’re lucky to have a boys’ soccer team.” ' Feeling slightly offended, the parent persisted, “Could my daughter play on the boys’ team?” “Sure, why not? We believe in equality here,” followed by another one of those strange, trilling cackles. The girl came to RCHS and had a marvelous time playing boys’ soccer, with Mr. Raines often cheering on the sidelines. When you meet Mr. Raines, what you see is not necessarily what you get in the end. Students often see a gruff, tough administrator, who tolerates no — zero — profanity on school grounds, no tobacco use, and certainly no drug or alcohol use. In Mr. Raines’s universe, teachers are to be respected, and students are to be disciplined for infractions swiftly and firmly. What students eventually learn, however, is that he truly cares about them. “They’re such good kids here,” Mr. Raines said in a recent interview with the Rappahannock News. “They are the best part about being here. I can’t wait to see them each morning. That’s what keeps me going.” Mr. Raines drives 50 miles over the mountain from his home in Rockingham County each morning and arrives by 7 o’clock. By 8 a.m., he is standing in the driveway, greeting each car and each bus that pulls in. He is there in the afternoon, too — under, an umbrella tf it is raining or bundled in a coaf# it is freezing — smiling goodbye. He generally stays at the school until 6 p.m., through all the extracurricular activities. “They know that I know that each of them exist,” he says. “I know all their names. I can even tell who is going to have a bad day by their expressions in the morning. “Once you get to know the kids with problems, you see that they have a lot of good reasons for their problems.” He does not let the troubled kids disrupt the school, but he does not write them off either — he tries to find alternative strategies for them, like going to school part-time and working part-time. Biology teacher Patti Waddell, who has been in the school system for 11 years, says, “He has a really sincere sense of service to the kids; he really loves them.’\She says he also does little things to boost teachers’ morale, such as throwing luncheons for them. Irritants to Mr. Raines are people who whine and gripe about RCHS. He likes his job so much, he does not understand why everybody does not. He once told a teachers’ meeting, “If you don’t want to be here and you don’t enjoy working with young people, you need to look for employment elsewhere. You owe it to yourself to find something that makes you happy. If you’re not happy, how are you going to do a good job with the kids?” Mr. Raines told the Rappahannock News, “People get so spoiled. They just want to gripe about everything. I tell them to leave. If they do, they’re going to find out how good they’ve had it here. “So what if we don’t have the best facilities? You work with what you’ve got. We’ve got great kids and we know each of them personally. I don’t know a school that could hold a candle to what we’ve got here.” This was Mr. Raines’s first year as principal of a high school. Most of his previous work experience was in Rockingham County schools, where he was a teacher and a coach for 21 years. He has a bachelor’s degree in business administration management from Virginia Tech and a master’s in education administration from James Madison University. When he was interviewed for working at RCHS, he told the search committee, “I’ve got a gruff demeanor; I’ve got a crust, but you’re going to find that I get along with the students.” Recounting this was much too serious for him, so he chuckled and added, “I don’t think they’ve been disappointed.” Mr. Raines was raised in the Shenandoah Valley. His father worked as an operator for Merck Pharmaceuticals in Elkton. and his mother worked at Sears. They raised turkeys on the side, which explains why Mr. Raines always contributes turkeys to school banquets. All three of Mr. Raines’s siblings finished college and his sister also became an educator. “Education was driven down our throats by Dad,” says Mr. Raines, sounding ungrateful but smiling as he says it. He was raised in the Church of the Brethren, which he and his wife still attend. See Raines, Page A-8 annoc ass of 1996 Stacey M. Alther Julie A. Bankston Christina Beach Anthony Brady Chanta R.

The forum started with an assumption that concern for better preparing students for the world of work after graduation grew out of a study of the educational system in the former Soviet Union. Actually, in the United States it has developed mostly out of concern by American businesses that many graduates of American public schools are not well prepared and require expensive remediation and training. Concerns expressed at the forum were a decreased emphasis on strong academic education as career preparation and developing desired personality traits receive more emphasis, reduced parental control as guidance counselors take on the role of advising students on career goals, and a fear that all of this is designed to create “happy workers for the state.” A large committee in Fairfax made up of school employees, parent representatives and business people developed an elaborate proposal called “Securing Our Students’ Future in a High-Tech Global • Economy: Professional Technical Studies” with seven recommendations that were adopted by the Fairfax School Board in early 1995. Those seven recommendations were: 1. Integrate academic and career * ; preparation education so that all students receive academic, technical, and workplace knowledge and skills. 2. Organize courses of study /around four career clusters representing the workplace fields of the ,21st century a) Business and Marketing, b) Communications and the Arts, c) Engineering, Industrial, and Scientific Technology, and d) Health, Human, and Public Services. 3. Require students to be more organized in their ^earch for prospective career pathways. 4. Require a structured work experience for alhhigh school students before graduar tion. 5. Transform vocational education into a discipline called Professional Technical Studies which has established sequences of courses around career clusters. 6. Create four professional technical academies, representing the career clusters, which will offer advanced, technical, and specialized courses for high school students. 7. Develop programs with postsecondary institutions so students’ continuing education can proceed seamlessly after high school. A careful reading of the two documents shows the concerns expressed at the forum are mostly groundless. Academic requirements are not being reduced and, in fact, are increasing. Parents are to be consulted each year as students look to their futures in selecting courses. However, the proposal presented to the Fairfax board is very expensive. Questions can certainly be raised about the validity of the neat division of 21st century jobs into four “career clusters.” High school students certainly do need to consider how they will function in an increasingly technological work environment. But it is not clear that most can reasonably be expected to choose a career and be satisfied with that choice for the rest of their lives. High schoolers should be encouraged to keep as many options open as possible. In The Year 2025 . .

Letters to the Editor Resurface H.S. Track To the Editor: How does a Track team practice without a track? Ask any track member and they will tell you, it’s hard. Admitting that you don’t have a track on which to practice is embarrassing and hurts our school’s image. If the school could find the funds to revamp pur track, there would be an increase in the number of students participating in the track program. Having a track would also improve the performance of all athletes. It would provide track and field athletes with experiences,that would help them in district, regional and state meets. The better the training facilities, the better the athletes. Having a track to practice on would decrease the number of injuries on the team. Athletes would not have to worry about injuring themselves while training for important competitions. Instead they could focus on enhancing their performances. If the track was resurfaced, the community would benefit as well. People could use the track for physical fitness. Citizens could jog or walk without being concerned abqut being struck by a car. The only negative thing about paving the track would be the cost. Page County High School recently paved their track, and the cost was about $10,000. This included painting and lining. 1 he tunas proposed tor ouilding a sign and buying new uniforms for baseball, soccer, and volleyball, could be used for the track. Of all the sports at RCHS, the track program receives the least amount of financial support. • Having a track would help condition all athletes from the school. If the facilities were improved track would then be on an equal footing with baseball, softball and soccer. Having the track resurfaced would improve the school’s appearance as well. Instead of having an unpaved, unsightly, unmarked track, students and visitors would feel motivated to use new facilities. JASON CARTER RCHS track team Leave Road As It Is To the Editor: It seems another shady, gently curving road in Rappahannock is scheduled to be made straight and wide. The shade (read:trees) will be removed. Fast drivers will win yet another straight-away to break the speed limit upon. The road I speak of is Route 630, off U.S. 522 in the Huntly/Flint Hill area. Called Hittles Mill Stream Road, as it is now, it discourages drivers seeking a shortcut from 522 to the Fodderstack. As it is now, it slows down the drivers who race from the opposite direction on Route 628, past my house at incredible speeds. As it is now, it is a bumpy functional road, requiring slower speeds and common courtesies. There is a VDOT-sponsored public hearing on this road. June 18 from 5 to 8 p.m. The hearing will be at Wakefield Country Day School, located near the comer of U.S. 522 and Route 630 in Huntly. I hope anyone who prefers that Route 630 not be straightened and widened will consider coming on June 18 to the hearing. Letters to VDOT would also help. Surely, there are better ways for roadway monies to be spent. AMY G. KRETZ Flint Hill Support Cemetery To the Editor: I read the letter to the editor entitled “Masonic Cemetery Needs Help,” in the May 29 issue of the Rappahannock News with great interest. My mother (Almeda H. Armentrout, nee Hudson; bom August 29, 1900, in Washington) and I were concerned about the future of the cemetery with the passing of Gibson Wharton. He was always very helpful when we talked to him about the cemetery or ate in his restaurant. My maternal grandparents (Thaddeus Herndon Hudson, 18561930, and Mollie Hudson, nee Hawkins, 1863-1934), several aunts, uncles and cousins are buried there. As a child visiting the cemetery with my parents, I was impressed with Charles Dear’s grave marker. To this day my mother lovingly remembers Mr. Dear talking to her mother when she and her sisters went to town shopping. I have enclosed a donation; please forward to cemetery fund to assist in the maintenance of the cemetery. It is reassuring to know that the Washington Masonic Cemetery is well maintained, hopefully perpetually, especially when taking into consideration farm family cemeteries in disrepair and reverting to nature, as is the case with some of my ancestors buried in what is now Shenandoah National Park. 1 hope that others who have relatives and friends buried in this cemetery — or who someday may be buried there themselves — can assist with the planned improvements and maintenance of the cemetery. ROBERT W. ARMENTROUT Hyattsville, Md. Concerts Enjoyed To the Editor: The concerts performed by the RCES Band and Choruses were terrific. The children in the early grades were excited and obviously enjoyed performing their songs to a full audience of enthusiastic parents on a weekday morning. Mrs. Russell, the school’s music teacher, brought together vocals, choreography and sign language. The concert on Thursday evening filled the warm evening with patriotic music and song, highlighting the talents of the older elementary school children and the hours of dedicated work by their teachers. The spirit and sense of fun up on the stage and in the pit were infectious to the SRO audience. The room was filled with patriotic art from many RCES classes. Mrs. Moncrief taught each of her sections of band students to play their instruments and learn their songs. Our schools’ music and arts programs have grown in scope and number through new arts events at the elementary and high school and the Curriculum Enrichment Program which has introduced the students *to exciting, top-flight professional performers. These are very positive steps because recent studies both in the United States and in Europe have shown that arts education is a critical factor in improving overall learning in both math and language and in SAT scores. 1 am grateful for the unique qualities of this small school system which bring together the strengths and talents of our administrators, teachers, parents, and especially our students. KATHRYN TREANOR Amissville Route 630 Proposal Opposed To the Editor: The project as presented by VDOT for Route 630 near Huntly goes way beyond the needs and the wants of the local residents. The residents of Rappahannock County have continuously expressed a strong desire to foster and maintain the rural scenic character of the county. 1 do not believe the residents want “wider and faster,” i.e. “urban” as a lifestyle mode. This project has been designed with the seeming concept that bigger (read wider, straighter, more level, faster) is synonymous with “better.” This is a misconception, and is in direct conflict with the existing character and use level of this roadway. Yes, the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors has included “improvements for Route 630” in their six-year road plan. The need they were addressing was firmly rooted in a drainage/flooding , problem: not, as stated in the Public Hearing Notice, to “...improve the horizontal and vertical alignment of Route 630 from Route 522 to 1.13 km (0.702 mi) west of Route 522.” The drainage/flooding problem is substantially more localized than the .7 miles, and the problem is not entirely addressed by the project since key areas causing the problems are further jtlp Route 630 beyond the project terminus; This flooding/drainage problem is firmly rooted in an adjacent landowner’s mismanagement of an entrance/stream crossing which is inadequate in width for the stream flow rate as well as overflows. The result of this “private property” mismanagement is damage and deterioration to the public right of way and . adjacent property during normal heavy rainfalls which occur several times a year. This problem has progressively worsened over the last syi to seven years. Perhaps instead , of a $400,000 public improvement project this should be, atjeast partially, a private insurance settlement to address the damage to the public facilities. VDOT’s location and design consideration says, “The existing facility is a rolling two-lane road, a combination of paved and gravel treated surface.” It would seem quite logical that the average running speed would be more appropriate than using the statutory 55 mph. This average running speed is considerably closer to 35 mph than 55 mph. I do not believe that we can afford this proposal, either in tax dollar costs or in the loss of the original rural character of an existing rolling, shaded country lane with large overhanging tree branches In place of this VDOT wants to provide us with a widened, improved, faster gun barrel for bullets to proceed down. If the existing running speed of 35 mph is considered and designed for, then the drainage problems can be addressed with spot easements as is customary, thereby saving most if not all of the existing trees as well as the existing roadway character. 1 ne nearing documents state under “Location and Design” “The existing pavement width is-approximately 6.1 meters (20 feet)” I would like to know, outside of the intersection with 522 and a very short distance from it anti the new bridge deck at the other end otj the project, where is this 20 foot pave-; ment? Longitudinally perhaps? Most;’ of the distance of the project is characterized by a “travel surface” not pavement, of considerably less than 20 feet, as is normal in a 30-foot right of way. Why are we proposing two eleven-foot lanes, two five-foot shoulders and two] six-foot ditches? If it was necessary to design for higher speeds and a straighter roadway, why was the bridge over Hittles Mill Stream at the western terminus of the project just replaced while maintaining its 90 degree approach turnt Where the elevation of Route 63(fc exists below the elevation of Ilittles" Mill Stream, that roadway sectioiS needs to be elevated.

► Tano From Page A-l and cities. “You don’t realize there is a place like this, with trees. You think everyone is rich with five or six new cars. This is not the picture TV showed me at home.” He has found his exchange experience very valuable. “The difference is how much you mature. Living in a new family you learn so much. You learn to understand different cultures.” He said that the number of exchange students at RCHS meant he could learn not only about American culture, but also about cultures all, over the world. Besides getting “A”s in all his courses, Tano has been active in Boy Scouts. Jim and Steven Clark were Boy Scouts, but Tano said he does not think his town had scouts. “I wanted to try something new. It was fun.” He particularly enjoyed the campouts. He played varsity soccer both years in the fullback position. He had played as a young child, but said he was not very good and “sat on the bench the whole game watching other little kids play.” He took the game up again in Rappahannock with considerable success. He was’ also active in the Technology Students of America chapter at school and the National Honor Society. He represented RCHS in a state level forensic contest this year in extemporaneous speaking. Tano will return to Uruguay before starting college in the fall, but first his parents and brother are coming to Rappahannock County to see him graduate Saturday. When he starts college next fall he will have two Rappahannock homes he can return to during school vacations. Because Bridgewater is close to Harrisonburg, he does not anticipate having difficulty getting back to Rappahannock for vacations since several members of this year’s senior class are planning to attend Janes Madison University. Tano knows he vyill miss the friend^ he has made at Rappahannock and many teachers. He said he has had good personal relationships with all of the teachers he has had here. Now he will have to “start all over again making new friends.” But he has done that before. He knows there will be times when something will remind him of how things were different at RCHS, just as things were different here than at home in Tacurembo. Those memories may make him sad for a while, but he is ready for the next adventure. ► Rains From Page A-l also closed for a while. The schools still maintained an early closing schedule Monday, so high school exams and the lunch period were shortened and study periods before exams were eliminated. The original schedule called for a half-hour study session before the one hour and 55 minute morning exam, followed by a 35 minute lunch period, 15-minute study period before the afternoon two hour and 50 minute exam. With the shortened day, the morning exam was one hour and 40 minutes and the afternoon .exam one hour and 35 minutes. The lunch period was shortened to 25 minutes. Assistant Superintendent Mary Ann Biggs said the school system decided to go ahead with the early dismissal because parents had already made arrangements for that. “We thought it would be least disruptive for parents if we left that intact,” she said. School students, parents and teachers are far from the only people affected by the rainy weather. Farmers have had a hard time making hay and getting orchard crops sprayed. County Agricultural Agent Kenner Love said there was a “window of opportunity to make decent hay,” but it passed leaving many fields with hay cut but not baled or not yet cut. “The later it is made the poorer quality it is,” he said. Orchardists have a hard time getting crops sprayed because water on the leaves dilutes the spray in ways that are hard to measure and because often apples are planted on steep land that is slippery in wet weather. The wet weather also leaves the crops more susceptible to the fungal diseases the sprays are designed to combat. “We’re stuck in a terrible weather system,” Mr, Love said. “This is a great habitat for fungal diseases that are transmitted when rain splashes on spores on leaves,” he added. Not even those who have corn planted can rejoice in the weather, he said. Heavy rains can cause the nutrients in fertilizers to leach into the ground or run off. Erosion is increased as can be seen by the muddy run off. Bottom lands may be flooded resulting in crop loss. ^ABERDEEN BARN Located in the Holiday Inn, Rt. 29 South, Culpeper p*. 825-1037 ABERBEEii .• BAHNS; t .1 Wednesday Night rrzme Kib $11.95 [Thursday Night Steak Dinner Special New York Strip, Salad, Potato & Onion Rings $10.95 Here’s something you may not be getting out of your current mix of mutual funds.

Bereavement Group Forming By PAGE ANNE SMITH Rappahannock News Contributing Writer "No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.-1 am not* afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing... " — from "A Grief Observed, " by C.S. Lewis The loss of a loved one, whether sudden or expected, is a traumatic event. It can cause physical and emotional changes in otherwise healthy people. Normal responses to grief encompass a wide range of symptoms, including mood swings, forgetfulness, unexpected anger, sleeplessness, headaches, lack of energy, heaviness in the chest and tightness in the throat. “Two-thirds of those who have lost a loved one need support in coping with their grief,’' says the Rev. Dick Guizar, director of spiritual and bereavement care at Hospice of the Rapidan. “Although grief manifests itself in a unique way for each individual, there are many commonalties. Creating a safe place to share thoughts and feelings with like-minded people can be a valuable source of comfort.” A bereavement support group is forming to provide that comfort for residents of Rappahannock, Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison and Orange counties. Sponsored by Family Care Home Health and Hospice in cooperation with Hospice of the Rapidan, the group will meet 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Wednesday, July 17-Aug. 21.

Mrs. Settle said that the fundraising began back in March, and it was a very successful event. Money raised will go for patient services, cancer research, public information, and cSneer awareness programs. People are living with cancer longer nowadays, said Mrs. Settle. She has been cancer free for six years. Hospice of the Rapidan will host the meetings at 1200 Sunset Lane, Suite 2320 of the Mulberry Commons office park in Culpeper. Anyone who has experienced the death of a loved 1 one prior to April, 1996, is welcome to benefit from this free support group. Participation is not limited to those grieving for hospice patients. Guided by experienced group facilitators Nancy Wells and Rev. Guizar, participants will create a Supportive environment in which they can share their feelings and discover new coping skills.

During that time they raised two children, now ages 23i and 25. For the coming school year, Mr. Raines has three priorities: (1) to improve attendance and thus academic performance; (2) to improve communications among all the major players in the system, students, parents, teachers and administrators; (3) to raise pride, so that “everybody wants to be here.” “And if they don’t,” says Mr. Raines, “it’s their problem.” He looks disgruntled when he says it, but you need to catch the twinkle in his blue eyes.

• Community News «Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12,1996 Local Artists Find Employment at Braeland , By CINDY MAHAN * Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Julie and Lance Huber quit their high-powered corporate jobs in 1991 In order to pour their energies and tal'ent into their two year-old company, Braeland. • Living in a renovated Sears catalog house on a 21-acre estate in the •hunt country of Maryland, Mrs. Huber worked as an interior designer and architect, with clients ranging from Jaw offices to very affluent homeownfers. Mr. Huber was in the publishing business doing real estate data information. They met on the job, found they had similar interests, including" history, and have now been married Tor 16 years. They also share a deep interest in the countryside of Scotland, England and France. In the late ‘80s, they used to make birdhouses and give them to friends as gifts. “People said we should sell them,” said Mrs. Huber. So they started dqing craft shows. Now they have stopped making birdhouses, but have expanded the business and market 150 products. They do a few retail shows and seven national and international wholesale . shows annually, and may do one in England this year. Mrs. Huber has degrees in fine ;arts and interior design from the Maryland Institute of Art and is selftaught in architecture. She started painting and drawing when she was three years old. When she quit her last ’ architectural job, she stopped painting for ten years. “I was drained,” she $aid. * But she’s definitely back to painting now. She and her husband’s very successful wholesale business, Braeland (Celtic for “beautiful land”), is producing beautiful and detailed limited edition works of art as furniture, wooden garden objects, trays, frames, bowls and many other items, reminiscent of a day in the countryside. Mrs. Huber designs the artwork to be painted on the items and Mr. Huber produces them with help from Bob Lucking and Joe Hulgus, a woodworker from Paris, Va. Mr. Lucking has a woodshop in Sperryville. Mr. Huber and Mr. Hulgus work at the woodshop in Flint Hill. That woodshop is also home to two roosters who strut around the floor, oblivious to the noise of the power tools. The Hubers weave many hints at folktales and dreams into their work. Many of the trays have a whimsical saying handpainted around the edge, sometimes in Frehch. A lot of the scenery has to do with living up against the mountains, said Mrs. Huber. (The Hubers live “up against a mountain” in Sperryville, where they moved from Baltimore this spring). Two of their trays, one of lavender fields in Provence and an “animal picnic tray” style, are sold in the upscale Neiman Marcus catalog. The paintings are very detailed and time consuming, but the Hubers have lots of help in their Flint Hill studio. They moved here knowing that a lot of artists lived in Rappahannock, hoping that their business could help support artists here. Local artists Lorraine Duisit and Barbara Sherwood do much of the painting, which can be done either at the studio or in their homes. Mrs. Sherwood chooses to do her work at home, so she can more easily fit the work in with her already busy schedule as a gardener, wife, and mother of three boys. She has been with Braeland for a year, and says she appreciates being able to work at home. Her own paintings, which she has shown at the Middle Street Gallery, are more abstract than the Braeland work. She says that it has been good for her to be constantly painting, and she is glad she has the skill to copy details. For Braeland, she paints trays (including the two that go to Neiman Marcus), plaques, drawer knobs, flower pots, garden stakes and picture frames. Lorraine Duisit does some of her painting in the studio and some at home, where she lives with her husband Tom Espinola and their two children. The items she paints on are different every week, she said, and they include flower pots, plaques, drawer knobs and pins. She said she loves the images because they remind her of her childhood in France. “It is a great job for me. I enjoy the actual process; it is real meditative,” she said. Ms. Duisit attended the Rhode Island School of Design and is an accomplished painter as well as musician and vocalist. Michelle Powell is another one of the painters, and she also does some design work. She paints portraits as her own business. Jonathan Achilles, another resident of Rappahannock, works full time at the studio as the office manager and also helps with various projects, such as doing the finishing work on some of the pieces, painting on acrylic or polyurethane. He describes the Braeland work as “a spinoff of American and French provincial folk art.” Bob Lucking began working for Braeland in March and does a lot of the carpentry work at his shop in Sperryville. He makes dovecote cabi F nets and does cutouts of stars, half moons, rabbits and other shapes for some of the other items hand-painted at the Braeland studio in Flint Hill. His week is spent working about threefourths of the time for Braeland and one-fourth for himself. He said the work for Braeland .pays the bills and then he has time to work on his own creations, sometimes furniture which he has been commissioned to do. He defines his own style as refined and rustic with an organic feel, primitive but refined. Mr. Lucking sees Braeland as a unique opportunity for Rappahannock artists to make money on a consistent basis, as it can be hard working from commission to commission, he said. He said Braeland is a great cottage industry, and the products are really high quality. Mrs. Huber has created a technique to paint that cuts down on the ' time required to paint each piece. She uses a crackle technique to enhance the rustic wood, to give it that “oldworld charm,” she said. Some of her imagery has been licensed out for posters, coasters, doormats, cards and pillow shams. She has a very successful set of paintings she has done of various animals, identified in French on the image, including a pig, fox, rooster, and dog. Otis, the “Braeland bunny,” a small white rabbit, is always painted into the scene somewhere on the larger pieces, as kind of a trademark. The painters in the studio can make between $10 to $17 an hour, according to how quickly they can produce the piecework. There are some summer positions available. For more information about Braeland products or to inquire about work, call the studio at 675-2047. Lorraine Duisit paints a plaque at Braeland studios. Intricate details show on one of the ‘harvest’ trays. How Old Is That Bird? Banding Helps Determine Lifespans for Birds in Wild Up until the time in history that birds had been captured, banded and released on a grand scale for many years, our only information on their ages came from captive birds. I wanted to know better how long birds live in the wild, however, and to that end l read much and pondered the question. Thus, 1 found in my research from one book to be mentioned later, that birds can live a long time indeed when they escape from predation and a constant search, and fight, for food are not a problem. All wild native birds are now protected by Federal Law; it is illegal to keep them in captivity except for scientific study. Cardinals were popular cage birds until well into the 20th century. A caged Cardinal ; is on record as living for 28 1/2 • years whereas in the wild the ■ extreme upper longevity record is 13 years. Mockingbirds were also popular cage birds and Thomas Jefferson had one at Monticello that sang lustily for 15 years. In this rare case, ; wild birds have also been known, ; from banding, to live 15 years. This is an exception; but then, a Mockingbird is an aggressive survivor. It would seem natural for a Goldfinch to be in demand as a caged bird for they are often referred to as “wild canaries.” One is on record as living in captivity nearly 10 years. % Bluebirds have captured our hearts, and we put up nest boxes so that these handsome birds will stay around our homes. Many Bluebirds The Virginia Naturalist By John Trott have been banded in the nest just before they fledge. Consequently much information is available concerning their longevity. The average is five to six years. In Charlotte, N.C., a male Bluebird was handraised after a cat had killed both parents. Tommy — for that was his name — lived for eight years. During this time he mated with a wild female and came to his foster mother, Elizabeth Clarkson, for meal worms to feed his young. Every night he returned to the house in which he had been raised and roosted on the back of a chair. The above are non-migratory or fly only short distances from nesting ground to winter feeding habitats. What about birds that make a long perilous, over-water trip to the American tropics for the winter months and return in the spring? The Ovenbird, a warbler about which Robert Frost wrote one of his perceptive and beautiful poems, spends the non-breeding months in northern South America. The longest one of these small birds is known to have survived more than 14 hazardous migratory flights to and from the tropics is seven years. The startlingly beautiful Indigo Bunting, so common in rural Virginia, winters on the Caribbean Islands and northern Mexico. Two banded males returned to their winter home in Jamaica every year for eight years; both birds had nested in North America. The oldest known record for the tiny, jewel-like Rubythroated Hummingbird is five years. My source comments that this is one individual, a male, in Oklahoma. The average would be much lower; this for a bird with 60 wingbeats a second and a metabolic rate that requires 200 percent of the bird’s body weight in food each day. Big birds, hawks for instance, live a long time in zoos where they are fed and protected. A Red-tailed Hawk has several 14-16 year records in the wild. Most banded birds were shot and the bird’s band, when checked, showed the bird’s age from banding to shooting. In a zoo one of these big birds lived 29 years. A Bald Eagle lived for 30 years at the National Zoo in Washington. A captive bird in New York state was still alive in 1968, age: 48 years. Again, most of our information on wild birds comes from birds downed with a gun. Ten years in the wild is the longest record for this magnificent species, our national bird. There is a book I highly recommend for finding any information on birds you could possibly want. Title: The Audubon Society Encyclopedia of North American Birds by John K. Terres. Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1980. This is a monumental achievement for one man and has been called the finest work on birds published in the 20th century. 1 just weighed my copy on the bathroom scale, weight: eight pounds. Big book; one doesn’t carry it on field trips. For the price (about $35), it is a bargain. 1 use it constantly and it was the source of much of the information in this column. This volume is lavishly illustrated with photographs and I, with an attempt at modest humility, will state that I have a few bird portraits in the book. * Do you wish to know which birds practice polandry? These are birds in which the female is larger and more brightly colored than her mate. The male builds the nest in which a female will lay eggs. The male incubates and cares for the young. You’ll learn about this and much more by looking under the heading, Sexual Relationships, in the encyclopedia. John Trott is a nationally recognized ncituralist. He welcomes reader comments and suggestions to: PO Box 515. Flint Hill. Va. 22627.

Vendors Line Up For Town's Fourthi The vendors who will be lining Gay Street this 4th of July during the Town of Washington’s patriotic celebration include those selling ThaiAmerican food and others with booths filled with pottery, oil landscapes, puppets, handmade woodwork, quilt racks, children’s rocking chairs, hobby horses, and wooden swings. “I’m enthusiastic about this year’s response,” said Charlie Thompkins one recent afternoon. As chairman of the committee that deals with vendors, he said that this year’s response thus far is greater than last year’s. “We have a potential 78 spaces and 45 of those are taken already,” he said. “We are way ahead this year. -He said the price for a vendor’s space is now $50. Early registration spaces were $35. Those requiring a tent or cover will need to bring their own because the existing tent space has already been spoken for, he said. To reserve a vendor space, contact Mr. Thompkins at 675-3235. The vendors who have responded are both local and from out of state. Local vendors include internationally known Jeanne Drevas who will be showing her pottery. Francois LePelch, who works at The Inn at Little Washington, will be showing the oil landscapes. — There will be a booth selling handmade women’s clothes. One vendor from Prince Frederick, Maryland will be selling more than 50 different handcrafted birdhouses. In addition to the Thai-American food vendor who will be serving shish kebabs, marinated chicken sticks and fried rice, there is. a food vendor serving veggie burritos. | The Washington Fire Department will be selling hot dogs and hamburgers. Murphy will be serving barbecue dinners. The Rappahannock 4-H livestock club will be doing lambburgers. The Lions Club will have its cafe.

Summer Reading Planned The Rappahannock County Library’s Summer Reading Program will begin Monday, July 1, and continue through the first week of August. Registration will be available all day for the first week, and at any time after that.

It takes more than the birth of a child to make a father. Something miraculous happens when a man realizes he is really a father. It may happen when he holds the baby in his arms for the first time or when he sees its first radiant smile. Suddenly, a man realizes that he is responsible for another human life. He knows that the kind of person he is will determine the kind of person his son or daughter will become. The values tnat ne noias become more important than ever. It is often at this point in life, that many men seek to re-establish their religious affiliation for they need the guidance of their church more than ever. Whether you're a new father or one of long standing, attend the church or synagogue of your choice this week. It will make you a better father.

Fresh Spinach Is a Favorite - Delicious, Nutritious By HELEN SMITH Extension Agent, Home F.conomics Spinach a delicious and nutritious vegetable, especially when it’s fresh from your garden. Even though we’ve had a rainy season so far and people are late planting their gardens, we should have fresh spinach and lettuce coming up soon. Preparation You’ll need to wash spinach several times since sand tends to cling to its crisp, curly leaves. To make the job easier, dissolve a little salt in the water first, or use warm water if the Spinach is to be cooked. , Continue washing with clean, cold water until sand no longer settles to the bottom of the sink. Drain and pat the leaves dry if the spinach is to be used raw. The trick to preparing fresh spinach is to guard against overcooking. Cooking it quickly preserves its color and quality as well as valuable nutrients — vitamin A, vitamin C, and iron. You don’t have to add extra water to the pan because the water that clings to the leaves after the spinach has been washed provides sufficient moisture to steam the spinach. Sauteed Spinach 1 (10-ounce) package fresh spinach 3 tablespoons butter or margarine ' 1 green onion, chopped 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1 /4 teaspoon salt . Lemon wedges (optional) Remove stems from spinach; wash leaves, and pat dry. Set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add green onion, and cook, stirring constantly, until tender. Add spinach, sugar, and salt; cover r HOME ECONOMICS and cook 3 to 5 minutes or until spinach is wilted and tender, stirring once. Drain; serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired.

Drain spinach well, pressing between layers of paper towels. Place in a mixing bowl; add cornbread mix and remaining ingredients, stirring until blended. Pour into a lightly greased 8-inch square baking dish. Bake at 400 degree for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve immediately. Yield: 9 servings.

DIANE RELF Extension Consumer Horticulturist When designing your landscape, draw it on paper first. It is much easier to move a few lines, than to move a plant. You might also experiment with some of the kits on the market for home landscaping. If your paper plan is drawn to scale, you can more accurately determine how much to plant and where. Some landscapes are designed for privacy. The public or front yard areas are screened and developed as living space or entrance gardens, rather than as a setting for the house. The amount of maintenance varies with the formality of the plan. Traditional Styles Require High Maintenance The style of landscape you use greatly influences the amount of maintenance required. The traditional method of framing the house with trees, trimmed hedges, and open mowed lawns creates a high-maintenance landscape. Natural landscapes that blend new. plants into the environment, retaining vegetation and ground forms with less large lawn areas, are generally lower in maintenance. In this landscape, “messy,” such as fallen leaves or small twigs, is acceptable. Natural Form of Plants Is Low Maintenance Considerations in styling a landscape for low maintenance include plant shape and rate of growth. If allowed to grow into its natural form, a plant has characteristics that are beautiful and useful in design. To reduce the need for sever pruning to keep a plant in bounds, choose a plant with the same mature shape as the space you want to fill. There are many slow-growing or dwarf varieties of shrubs available today. They never grow taller than a few feet and may never need pruning. Trees are a dominant element of the landscape and. should be though of as permanent and selected to avoid pruning of mature plants.

Eventually, they outgrow their location, with severe pruning necessary to keep them in bounds, resulting in a misshapen plant with no natural, characteristic shape. Generally trees that grow quickly, die more quickly and drop branches easier. You may need to replace them much sooner or more often that slower growing varieties. Fast-growing trees may have brittle wood that is susceptible to breakage, may have more frequent disease and insect injury, and may be less hardy than longer-lived species. , Dr. Diane Relf is a horticulture specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension and is a member of (he faculty of Virginia Tech.
