Readers Changed, Writing Stressed RCES Staffing Altered ' By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer There are changes in store for the elementary school, but they are not as dramatic as the switch to block sched-^ uling at the high school. At the top of the list at RCES is the new reading series. Principal Raye Tuppcr and assistant principal Richard Smith say with the adoption they are switching back to using basal readers after several years of whole language instruction. Mrs. Tupper said they want to keep the best parts of whole language, ’the emphasis on integrating the language arts, especially reading and writing, and the emphasis on having the students read good literature, but they also want a more systematic approach to teaching reading with more “structure .and continuity” from grade to grade. Mr. Smith said there will be more emphasis on teaching particular reading. skills. The new series includes “good children’s literature” with a thematic approach. In an effort to improve the students success on the Literacy Passport tests teachers have been trained on how the writing test is scored, and stu- j dents in fourth and fifth grade were ; given sample writing tests towards the - end of the last school year. That will enable teachers to identify those children who will probably have no difficulty with the test and also identify those who will need more help to pass the test and more particularly what sort of help, Mr. Smith said in the writing test the students are given a “prompt” such as “My favorite season is...” The particular prompt is kept secret until the test is given. The sixth graders are expected to write a paper on that topic. The area receiving the most emphasis is “composition, developing a main idea and sticking to it, writing that makes sense.” The secondary emphasis in scoring the test is on the writers style. Scorers are looking for a sense of the writer’s personality and choice^ of vocabulary, he said. Other areas are grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, capitalization and spelling, but these do not count for as much when the paper is graded as composition and style. A passing essay will fill most of See RCES, Page A-3 Old Rag Bulletins Book Day The public schools will be having Book Day from 2 to 5 and 6 to 8 p.m., next Thursday, Aug. 22, at both schools. There is no charge for regular books. This is an opportunity for parents to meet teachers and for students to pick up schedules. This year for the first time RCES will have a school supply store in the cafeteria, and parents will be able td purchase all the supplies their children will need at reasonable prices. At the high school Principal Jack Raines wants to meet with hll parents of RCHS students in the gymnasium at 7 p.m. The new attendance policy, communications standard and other important information will be given out. Following that Athletic Director Mike Tupper wants to meet with parents of all students in fall sports to discuss items in the athletes handbook. Wolf's Rep. To Visit Karen Bowling Foster from Congressman Frank Wolf’s office will be in Rappahannock County from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 21, to meet with constituents at the Rappahannock Extension Office on Gay Street in Washington.

Molly Bailey taught third grade for four years before leaving for four years to work at Fauquier Hospital getting insurance company approval to have patients treated. “I wanted to take a break and try something new” she said. “I missed working with kids.” She will be team teaching in fifth grade, teaching language arts to two sections while Chuck Way teaches math, science and social studies to the same two groups. “1 really liked third grade. This will be something different,” she said. However, she is looking forward to concentrating on language arts and plans to put major emphasis on writing. Paul Tieche will have a self-contained classroom for the other section of fifth grade. This is his first year teaching, although he has lots of experience as a substitute teacher in his native Pennsylvania. He said he was attracted to Rappahannock County because it “reminds me of home.” He grew up in a farming community north of Pittsburgh and has experience in construction and as an iron worker. He enjoys hunting and fishing and is looking for an apartment. He is not yet sure what to expect as he prepares to teach a classroom of fifth graders, but he hopes to have some outdoor activities with his class. Marjorie Boerio will be returning to teach fourth grade. She taught kindergarten, first and second grade at RCHS for five years before leaving for four years. During that time she worked in canoe rental for Shenandoah Outfitters and worked as a bar manager at the Edinburg Mill until it was flooded out last January. She also traveled to Alaska with the idea of living and working there but decided that was too far from her family in the Pittsburgh, Pa. area. She said after teaching younger children, See Teachers, Page A-3 Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Speech teacher Melissa Kaufman, special ed teacher Sherry Haffer, kindergarten teacher John Glass and fourth grade teacher Marjorie Boerio make plans. RCHS Grad Competes for U.S. in Paralympics By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Eight years ago, while serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, Jon McCullough sustained an injury that left him partially disabled and resulted in a medical discharge from the service. Today, as a handicapped athlete, the 1984 graduate of Rappahannock County High School is a member of the U.S. national soccer team competing in the Paralympics in Atlanta. The Paralympic Games are an official part of the modem Olympics. In Atlanta, in the same arenas the world watched for the two week of the Centennial Olympiad, physically handicapped athletes from 127 nations will be vying for the gold, silver and bronze. They’ll stay in the Olympic Village, they’ll stand on the three-tiered dais while their flag is raised and their anthem plays and they’ll live the Olympic dream. For Mr. McCullough, the disability that was the worst of times has led to the best of times. “Without it, 1 wouldn’t be representing my country at the Paralympics. I wouldn’t have met so many incredible people who have overcome monumental challenges to do their personal best,” he said. “So whether my injury was disabling or abling all depends on your perspective!” But that variable perspective was a long time coming. For years, it was hard to see past the symptoms of the head injury that left him with post concussive syndrome, bilateral derangement of the shoulders and compressed vertebrae. He had brain damage that affected his number and time perception. He was plagued by blinding headaches. The left side of his body was weakened, resulting in slower reaction time and some muscle spasicity. “It was harder to control and direct the muscles on my left side, and that caused balance problems,” he explained. The symptoms were so severe that at one point — another of the worst of times — Mr. McCullough was admitted from, the emergency room to Walter Reed Military Hospital in Washington, D.C. and scheduled for emergency brain surgery for a suspected cerebral aneurism. Fortunately, the neurologist connected the symptoms to the head injury of four years earlier, and instead of an operation, Mr. McCullough was given a comprehensive regimen of physical therapy and exercise. The headaches decreased, the reaction time and balance improved, and his muscles began to listen better. Then, at American University, where he's now a senior majoring in international health, Mr. McCullough became the trainer for the womens’ volleyball and lacrosse teams. Working with athletes and having daily access to first-rate athletic facilities, he stepped up his own exercise routines. The debilitating symptoms of the head injury continued to abate. So when it came time to do an internship with a non-profit organization to satisfy the University’s curriculum requirements, Mr. McCullough chose Disabled Sports U.S.A. “1 could see how rehabilitation had worked tor me. 1 wanted to get involved with helping others make that same kind of progress.” For Disabled Sports, he was the competition coordinator and squad leader for the disabled volleyball team. “1 learned about the competitive opportunities for disabled athletes, plus 1 saw the personal satisfaction that comes from being part of the athletic elite — the best in a sport — even if it’s disabled sports.” Still, he was on the bench in this new arena until the head coach of the volleyball team persuaded him to try to be a player. Volleyball was See Olympic, Page A-3 Photo courtesy of Daphne Hutchinson Jon McCullough is a member of the U.S. disabled soccer team competing in the Paralympic Carnes in Atlanta.

According to Major Rick MacWelch of the Sheriff’s Office, Mrs. Ricketts complained that her husband had struck her, injuring her left leg.

A Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle, reported stolen from Vienna, and a Honda 4x4 4-wheeler, reported stolen from Madison County, were both found at a residence on Route 645 in AmissviLle where Mr. Johnson had allegedly been storing them. The property owners did not know the items were stolen when they gave Mr. Johnson permission to store them there, said Major MacWelch. Major MacWelch said that a tip from a concerned citizen led him to the stolen items, which he found after executing a search warrant. He i^ working with the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office to determine if numerous larcenies in the area can be traced to Mr. Johnson. A burglary was reported at the Regina Sanchez residence on Williams FarYn Lane.

► Teachers From Page A-l “This will be a challenge for me.” Fourth grade covers Virginia histoiy, and Ms. Boerio has recently taken a class in Virginia history from “Paleo Indian” times through the pioneers. John Glass will be teaching kindergarten. This is the first time the school has had a man teaching really young children. He said he wanted to teach kindergarteners because “I like to play.” In a more serious vein he said, “The most important things that are taught are taught at the earlier stages.” He had three months experience as a substitute in kindergarten in West Virginia. After graduating from Brigham Young University he taught third grade in Idaho for one year and taught religion and life skills at a private school working with a public school in educating moderately to profoundly mentally handicapped students. Ed Rissler will be teaching seventh grade science, but he will also teach one section of reading and spelling and one section of social studies. He has many years of teaching experience but all with older students. He comes to Rappahannock following nine years teaching chemistry at Warren County High School. Before that he spent two years working in Somalia developing curriculum and writing textbooks. The six' years before that he taught eighth grade physical science at Warren County Junior High, and the six years before that he taught biology and chemistry in Somalia and Kenya. Sherry Haffer will have a special education class of eight seventh graders with learning or emotional disabilities. She also comes from Warren County after 10 years at the high school there. She said she will try team teaching science with Mr. Rissler. She is very excited about teaching in Rappahannock County. “It is like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz,” she said. “Coming over the mountain is hiarvelous. It’s like going over the rainbow.” She said she is particularly impressed with the “marvelous community, parent and administrative support for education” in Rappahannock County. “I’m really happy to be here. I’m honored to have gotten the position.” Joy Rollins will be teaching general music and chorus at RCES. She has lived in the Amissville area for 10 years. Two years ago she and her husband built a house off Battle Mountain Road. For the past 17 years she has been teaching music in Frederick County and commuting from Amissville for the past 10 years. With a five-year old and an infant son, she decided she needed to look for a job closer to home. She is planning to have a chorus for sixth and seventh-grade students* that will meet for an hour twice a week. She also plans a similar chorus for fifth graders. Besides that she will Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Teacher’s Aide Vickie Miller, seventh grade teacher Ed Rissler, fifth grade teachers Molly Bailey and Paul Tieche, music teacher Joy Rollins and school psychologist Kathleen Zehar try out student-sized desks. be teaching general music to kindergarten through fifth grade. She wants to put a major emphasis on American folk songs teaching all the grades the same songs that are a part of our heritage. Melissa Kaufman will be doing speech therapy with sixth through twelfth graders. She has a degree from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania in speech and hearing disorders. She has worked with autistic children and regular children with speech and language disorders. She said she was attracted to the area for its scenic beauty. Kathy Zehar will be the new school psychologist. She is from Keyser, West Virginia. Cecile Scott will be the new band director at both schools. At the beginning of the week she had not yet arrived in the county. She is traveling from Georgetown, Texas. Vickie Miller will be a Chapter One teacher’s aide working on remedial reading with third and fourth graders. A Rappahannock County native and 1977 graduate of RCHS, she lives in Flint Hill and has three children in the school system. She has had a variety of work experiences including being a dispatcher/matron for the Sheriff’s Office. ► Olympic From Page A-l out — even with ongoing therapy and conditioning, the derangement of his shoulders made it too painful to keep his arms raised. “But the coach told me about the soccer team. It was late in the selection process — the national team was already together and competing in the Pan American Games (where they won a bronze medal, the first for U.S. disabled soccer).

He’s been to Paralympic training camps in Tallahassee, Dallas and Newport. “I had never met athletes who had injuries like mine, much less competed against them. That was so motivating,” he explained. “I played soccer, basketball and volleyball before my disability, but I’ve learned so much more about the team concept as a disabled athlete. Here, it’s much more of a challenge to recognize and work with your own strengths and weaknesses and the strength and weaknesses of your team mates.” Earlier this summer, he led a workshop at the U.S. Cerebral Palsy Athletic Association’s Youth 1996 Nationals in Baltimore. “I talked, about what it means to be a Paralympic athlete, that they can still be the best in the world, even with a The Country Cafe 'The Family Restaurant!'

The Dutfch have a long-established national club soccer program, and each club team has a disabled team. “ We have nothing to compare; with that kind of preparation.” The U.S. disabled soccer team played the Dutch squad in Tallahassee. “We lost, but only by a goal, 1-0.” In the first flight, the U.S. plays Brazil (Aug. 17), Russia (Aug. 19) and Ireland (Aug. 21). If they win two of the three games, they advance to the medal-competition on Aug. 23 and 25, where they’ll get another chance at the Dutch. Certainly, Jon McCullough wants to come home with a medal, but just the opportunity to compete in the Paralympics is victory in itself.

As in the reading and mathematics parts of the Literacy Passport the children are allowed to tkke as much time as they want, Mr. Smith said, but most will quit at the end of an hour to one and a half hours. In an effort to improve the teaching of mathematics, teachers representing each grade worked on developing a mathematics curriculum over the summer. “The curriculum pulls all the standards together,” and breaks the Standards of Learning into separate teaching objectives, Mrs. Tupper said. Also now each classroom has at least one good computer and there are also two fully equipped computer labs. Mrs. Tupper said she is concerned that one reason students haVe not been doing as well on standardized tests and the Literacy Passport tests is that federal funding for remedial instruction has been cut back and staffing has been cut back along with that. She said the federal remedial tnath program will be cut back to just grades five through seven after years in which all grades were eligible. She will be asking for volunteers to help some of the students who will -not have the formal remediation. Another change will come for sixth and seventh graders. Mrs. Tupper said they will be treated as a group with a schedule of enrichment activities that in some way mimics the block schedule at the high school. They will have activities like music and art for longer periods. There is also the possibility of intermural sports, and there will be some special enrichment opportunities that are the result of particular teacher interests. For example they are expecting to produce a school newspaper, have drama and forensics activities and an ecology club. Additionally the sixth and seventh graders will have a joint lunch period that will be longer than it has been in the past. The students will be allowed to sit with their friends and go outside when they have finished eating. Mrs. Tupper said there are advantages in having a school that covers kindergarten through seventh gratae, particularly positive interaction between older and younger students, such as the “reading buddy” program. However, RCES is also trying to provide more of a “middle school” environment for the sixth and seventh graders. This year, for the first time, parents will be able to buy school supplies from a school store set up in the cafeteria during “Book Day,” Thursday, Aug. 22. Finally, she said a major change is in the faculty. New teachers and teachers with new teaching assignments make up about half of the faculty, Mrs. Tupper said. wko like til ewaywe operate.

At Tuesday night’s School Board meeting Superintendent David Gangel suggested the School Board adopt a goal of having 80 percent pass all three tests this year. He suggested plans were in the works to make improvements and promised to bring a presentation to the next meeting on what is being done. He said he would “guarantee” that scores will be higher this year. Jackson District representative on the Board of Supervisors Ron Frazier was on hand to say he had recommended a year ago that the school system drop its whole language approach to teaching reading and instead adopt a phonics-based approach. In fact, the elementary school is dropping its emphasis on whole language in part and returning to “basal” readers. That is not the same thing. Principal Raye Tupper said the school had never dropped phonics but had included it with whole language and will include it with the basal series of readers. In fact whole language did not replace phonics. Phonics mostly disappeared from the curriculum in America’s schools long before whole language came on the scene. It was replaced by a “look see” approach to individual words that was extended to whole books in whole language. And the phonics instruction included in the basal readers and in whole language is far from systematic. . While students get some exposure to initial consonant sounds, short and long vowel sounds and consonant blends, they do not learn, unless they teach themselves, how to sound out long words. Few of their teachers have this skill either. A more systematic approach has been adopted in a new mathematics curriculum developed by a team of teachers. The basal series of readers will eventually produce a more systematic, but not phonicsbased, approach to teaching reading. If the school system has any real interest in giving phonics a true test, it needs to take an entirely different approach. A phonics based textbook series needs to be available at least through fourth grade. A group of teachers needs to be trained in its use. And parents should be given the choice of having their students in the classes with that system or one. based on basal readers or even whole language. The parents would make that choice in when their children are in kindergarten or first grade, and the student would remain in classrooms with the selected method being used through fourth grade. At the end of four years it should be possible to tell if that approach produces the desired result. Switching the whole school from one system to another may eventually produce improved results on the reading part of the Literacy Passport Test, but it will not provide real answers to whether or not phonics provides the key to improved reading and writing.

Old Dominion Politics By JOHN GOOLRipK The Governor’s Mansion in Richmond has had many distinguished residents and visitors over the years, but probably none destined to become so renowned as one who came for meals and lodging in 1929. The distinguished visitor was Winston S. Churchill who is probably destined to be named Time Magazine’s Man of th^ Century when the year 2000 rolls around. Churchill, then 54 years old, spent 10 days at the Mansion at the invitation of then Governor Harry Byrd Sr. The British author, lecturer, historian and politician had come to Virginia to study the Civil War battlefields around Richmond. Guiding him around the battlefields was Dr. Douglas Southall Freeman, editor of the Richmond News-Leader and author of a famous biography of Robert E. Lee. Harry Byrd Jr., a retired U.S. Senator from Virginia who lives in Winchester, was a very young man when Churchill came to visit, but has vivid memories of the experience. He recalls that Churchill told his father that he felt his political career was behind him. He had been a member of Parliament for 28 years and had served in the cabinets of three prime ministers. He was of royal lineage and a controversial figure, particularly while serving as First Lord of the Admiralty during World War I. Harry Byrd Jr. says that Churchill’s long visit was an unforgettable experience. Years later Byrd recalled in an article he wrote that, “His tenacity was apparent during his Virginia visit.” On his first night there, Governor and Mrs. Byrd entertained the statesman and while eating roast beef, Churchill asked for mustard. Mrs. Byrd relayed word to the kitchen but was told there was no mustard available. Mrs. Byrd, a gracious hostess, told Churchill of this and offered to send someone out to get some. Churchill unhesitatingly said that would be nice so Harry Jr. was sent to the store on a mission to bring back mustard. As Byrd said, “Mr. Churchill knew what he wanted and when he wanted it, a characteristic which served him well in war and politics.” Yet it was a quality that not all his hosts appreciated. During his visit, said Byrd Jr., Churchill told Mrs. Byrd the time he would like his meals and “then he began to supervise the menu. My mother would have been happy had the Britisher received an emergency call to return to Parliament.” Byrd Jr. recalls with a smile that once Churchill had departed, his mother told his father, “Harry, don’t you ever invite that man back.” Years later, after Churchill had become world famous as the symbol of resistance to Hitler’s tyranny during World War II, Byrd Jr. met Churchill again in 1951 when he visited him iri^ his private office in Westminister. '’*M Byrd recalled that Churchill didl^ most of the talking expressing interest in Virginia and the Shenandoah*^ Valley. "*** And then Churchill said something that has always stuck with Byrd: » “The basic strength of America, in my «judgment, lies in the fact that the 48.*^ states, acting through their own legislative bodies, can to a very consider-'^ able degree determine their own locate problems. You are not centralized iil ^ America like we are in England." Ironically, America subsequently became much more centralized in government, leading to the movement now afoot to cut the federal government down to size and return power to the states.

KILPATRICK An old pro fighter by the name of Eddie Simms died in Las Vegas last October. John ,L. Smith, sports columnist for the Review-Journal, wrote an obituary. His piece reminds us once more of the top-notch writing that often appears on our sports pages. Smith recalled that when he first met Eddie Simms, “he wore the history of the fight racket on his face.” It was “a face that launched a thousands hooks.” The old pug habitually wore a sports coat “redder than any nosebleed.” His hands were “as broad as bricks.” The obit ran to less than a thousand words, but a full-length biography could not have brought Eddie Simms more vividly to life. The little images added up to a big picture. Readers of Smith’s column could see the old man reminiscing of the time he took a punch from Joe Louis. Smith let us smell the smoky arenas of the 1930s. We could hear Simms playing his accordion for old friends. Here was a writer at work. J In the same vein in November, Associated Press writer Steve Wilstein provided a profile of boxer Jerry Quarry, punch-drunk at 50, with no long to live: “Once one of the most popular fighters in the country, a top heavyweight contender in 1960s and ‘70s, he needs help shavings showering, putting on shoes and socks. Soon, probably, diapers. His older brother, James Quarry, cuts meat into little pieces for him so he won’t choke, has to coax himto eat anything except the Apple Cinnamon Cheerios he loves in the morning. “Jerry smiles like a kid. Shuffles like an old man. Slow, slurred speech. Random thoughts, snagged on branches in a dying brain. Time blurred. Memories twisted. Voices no one else hears.” Notice Wilstein's careful use of sentence fragments, subtly suggesting a mind broken into shards. Note especial ly those Apple Cinnamon Cheerios. The sentence would have lost its punch if Wilstein had written simply of “the cereal he loves in the morning.” Specific details always are better than easy generalities. ' Robin Finn of The New York Times is the most readable reporter in the world of tennis. Last summer Finn was at Wimbledon on the day Stefan Edberg, Jim Courier and Michael Chang all lost their second-round matches: “For one, the defeat could be traced to a case of lost magic . .. For another, it was a case of lost meanness; like a mower with a blunt blade, he lacked the proper cutting edge to leave his mark on the grass. For the third, it was a case where height meant might.” Columnist George F. Will, who regularly bats over .400 in the pundits’ league, is a baseball nut. Two years ago he wrote a memorable piece on firstbaseman John Olerud. “In the cacophony of the Toronto Blue Jays’ clubhouse, Olerud is a fjord of Norwegian calm.” You could work all night, Esmeralda, and not find a smoother metaphor. The best known of all baseball writers, of course, is Roger Angell of The New Yorker. He began an autobiographical sketch by recalling that he became an addicted reader at an early age: “Peeling back the leaves of memory, 1 discover a peculiar mulch of names . . . Mel Ott’s stumpy, cowtail swing is still before me, and so are Gehrig’s thick calves and Ruth’s debutante ankles.” And you could hammer all day, Horatio, and not forge a more descriptive sentence. The Good Stuff comes from all kinds of sports. Dawn Pradat wrote a fine vignette for Southern Living about rock climbing. She worked in the first person, present tense, and gained all the tension of a taut rope. "The rock, smooth as marble in some places and cat’s tongue coarse in others, feels cool beneath my fingers.” Late in the after noon, as the party makes its last approach, “shadows drape slender fingers over the mountains.” In December 1993, Christine Jerome wrote a piece for Outside magazine on the comeback of wild turkeys: “We see them in all seasons, small groups and large, gravely pecking their Way across our hayfields or exploding out of the understory as we walk in the woods. Our retrievers, conscientious objectors both, always decline the pursuit. Like us they appear transfixed when a flock takes to the air with a sound like wet sheets in the wind.” « 90 There’s a lesson for every writer these snippets. The writing is vivid^2 because the writers have looked intently at the world around them. They have seen bricks and fjords and Apple « Cinnamon Cheerios; they have seen-w cowtails and thick calves and a debutante’s ankle. They have seen a dull “Z mower and felt marble; they have, heard wet sheets in a wind. They stored £ the images in a writer’s lumberyard, ~ and when the time came, they were • ready to nail some Good Stuff together. Copyright 1996 !

SPORTS Pour Swim for South Wales By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannock News Intern Although Rappahannock wasn’t home to any of this summer’s Olympic athletes it was home to four members of tlie South Wales Swim Team. iThe team, which consisted of an estimated 60-70 people, included Allison Lofton, Nate Martin, Anna Me(calfe and Rebbecah Metcalfe. The four began training in early June, practicing up to an hour and a half five times a week. By mid month they had began competing against other teams from Fauqier, Culpeper and Orange Counties. During these meets the vast majority of the team competes in all of the events. These were the back stroke, butterfly, breast stroke and free style.

This didn’t mean that the four team members were allowed to quit swimming at that time though. Anna and Allison continue to work at South Wales as life gaurds. They are also on additional teams. Anna competes on Winchester’s team while Allison is a member of a swim team from Bathe County. ( Rebbecah used to participate on other teams as well. However she is not on any right now. This was her ninth year on a team and in fact she began swimming at the age of five. Rebbecah says that “You look forward to seeing your friends,” from the swim team each summer. She also feels it’s a good form of exercise. Who knows though, perhaps four years from now one of these athletes will represent our country in Sydney. However, until then they’ll have to be content with South Wales. Fall Practices Get Underway By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer High school sports practices got underway this week as girls came out for varsity and junior varsity basketball teams, both boys and girls came out for cross country teams and cheerleaders started practice. There were 18 girls out for JV basketball and eight for varsity, but both varsity Coach Laura Conklin and JV Coach Rhonda Jenkins said they knew of more girls who would be coming out. The first day was given over to physical conditioning, and a presentation by a salesman on shoes available. Coach Conklin said the girls did not have to buy any shoes, but they were available. Down the hall cross country runners were also learning about shoes. There were six girls and 15 boys on the first day. Coach David Van de Graaff said this team had the most potential of any team that had ever come out and predicted success if the students were willing to stick to the program. He said there would be Saturday invitational meets, and that immediately presented a problem for two students who are committed to play this fall for select soccer teams. Coach Van de Graaff said he would have no problem if they missed practices to participate in soccer games, but he said it would not be fair to the rest of the team if they missed meets to play soccer. Following the first day Coach Conklin said, “It’s hard to tell with just one practice. I think we’re going to pull together. There is a lot of team camraderie.” The basketball teams will open with a scriiVimage with Clarke County Aug. 26. The first regular game is Sept. 5. Currently the cross country teams are scheduled to open with a meet at Luray on Sept. 23, but Athletic Director Mike Tupper is trying to schedule an earlier meet.

• Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14,1996 Gilkeys Take Second Chance With Stable By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannock News Intern Imagine a sunny Saturday at the stables. The sky is blue and you’re surrounded by incredibly pleasant people. In the bam there’s a four year old with curly hair feeding carrots to one of the ponies. It could happen! Believe it or not it does every weekend at Second Chance Stables in Huntly. There one can go on trail rides for $20 an hour while children can enjoy pony rides for $2 and ; This family oriented business, owned by Hubert S. “Hubie” and bonna Gilkey, opened July 6 and has since been popular* with people in Rappahannock and Warren counties. The couple had been riding their entire lives. Mr. Gilkey owned a pony as a child and Mrs. Gilkey purchased her first horse at age 33. She said however that before that she always attempted to ride everything that she could find. Then four and a half years ago the two got married and Mrs. Gilkey managed to, rekindle her new husband’s previous love for horses. The first horse which they purchased together they named Second Chance since it was a second marriage for both of them. When they later opened the stables they named it that as well since it was their “second Mr. Gilkey gets PeeWee saddled up ready for a ride. Bluegrass Concert Saturday The Nashville Bluegrass Band comes to Bluemont’s Summer Concert Series in Warrenton on Saturday, Aug. 17. This is the ninth of eleven Saturday evening performances on the lawn of the old Warren Green sponsored by Bluemont Concert Series with special support from Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m.; admission is $3 per person. All are welcome. Easily the premiere band in bluegrass music today. The Nashville Bluegrass Band is known all over the world, and they have graced some of the most diverse stages of any act touring today. Among their credits are a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall, many appearances on the Grand Old Opry as well as appearances at virtually every bluegrass and folk festival in the United States. The Nashville Bluegrass Band was the first bluegrass band ‘to per form in the Peoples Republic of China, and has also extensively toured Europe as well as Iraq, Israel, Brazil and Japan.

The weekly concerts in Warrenton offer wonderful door prizes provided by local shopkeepers. Prize Winner Rappahannock. News Suit Pholo by Cindy Mahan Ed Luebke's hope chest won first prize in the ‘Of the Land, By the Hand' show at the Middle Street Gallery. chance at life” according to Mrs. Gilkey. How long had they wanted to own some place like Second Chance Stables? “All my life,” Mrs. Gilkey said. “We owned our own horses, and I knew children that didn’t have the opportunity to ride,” she continued. For this reason the two, with the help of Mrs. Gilkey’s children Kevin and Lorrie, decided to open the stables using four of their own horses and 11 additional ones. Mrs. Gilkey said that all her animals are so well trained that all one needs to do in order to ride them is sit in the saddle. She and her husband agree that all 15 have distinct personalities though. For instance her horse, Willie, attempts to step around all the puddles in his path. Another one. Doc, trys to walk through each and every one of them though. He is also a bit of an escape artist. It seems he has. figured out how to let himself out of his stall. They also have two Mexican horses, who refuse to eat out of the feed buckets. One of these, Pancho, enjoys having Kevin sing to him in Spanish. Mr. Gilkey showed how another, more refined horse must have a neck and back massage and get his legs stretched each time he goes out. Pee-wee, a small pony, is content with just having carrots. “I could live in here with the horses,” said customer Suasn Keys who later described their smell as “ambrosia.” “Horses have the best smell,” Mrs. Gilkey agreed. She said this smell is only there if the horses are clean though. Thus the horses get brushed each time they’ve gone out. Although it’s not required some Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan Donna Gilkey’s son Kevin leads Matthew Fridley of Strasburg on a pony ride. customers, such as Shauna Keys, enjoy grooming the horses themselves. Except for a guided pony ride when she was younger Shauna said that this was her first time on a horse. “I love it [riding], A horse is pretty much my favorite animal in the world. My goal has always been being able to ride,” she said. Shauna got the horse up to a trot and said that she and the horse both enjoyed it. Another person riding that day, Charlotte Wagner, said that she likes trotting as well. Charlotte and her sister Caroline not only rode in the ring but went on a trail ride also. “It was very good. We went on a half hour ride around the stables,” Caroline commented. “It was pretty nice,” Charlotte agreed adding that her favorite part was when they went through the pine trees. The girls had been to Second Chance Stables a total of three times. They’re younger brother Julian Wagner also tode there for the first time that day and said that he had fun during his pony ride with Mr. Gilkey. “My first time on a horse I was five years old ,” Susan remembered. It had been at her uncle’s and although she had fun she had also found it difficult to get the horse to stop. Mrs. Gilkey said that* she had always loved riding also. “We’ve been some places that are so beautiful and you’d never see them otherwise,” she explained. Although the couple enjoys the stables it is not their sole means of income. Mr. Gilkey is a contractor, and Mrs. Gilkey works for a surveyor in Winchester. For more information or directions to the stables call 635-RIDE. The Roadside Flowers of August Nine books on wildflowers piled on my desk have not given me a satisfying answer to a question: Who was Joe Pye? The most I could find was: the plant is . . . named for a New England Indian who used the plant in some concoction for the cure of fevers.” Joe Pye Weed, with it’s big domed heads of pinkish rose flowers, now rules the roadsides of the upper Virginia Piedmont. It can grow to a height of seven feet and, according to several sources, has the odor of vanilla when crushed. I have been too busy admiring Joe Pye Weed to test it for the smell of vanilla. Butterflies find this lovely plant to their liking and yellow Swallowtails cluster around its flower heads. For those who wish to attract butterflies to the home garden, Joe Pye Weed is now available from suppliers specializing in native wild flowers. Joe Pye Weed is a native but Chicory, which scatters its blue flowers along grassy roadsides, is not. Chicory is a native to Europe and came over with the first settlers. Perhaps early settlers brought it to remind them of the settled and safe world they left behind. There was not much room for personal baggage on those sailing ships. It is just possible that Chicory, like many other nonnative plants, came accidentally in the ballast of the great sailing ships. Stones were used to keep the ships low in the water on the voyage to the New World. No doubt soil containing seeds was also shoveled into the holds of those sailing vessels. On the return to England, the ships would be loaded with lumber, tobacco, tar, and sas satras. On this morning, August 8, a cloud seems to have settled softly on the earth. The light is diffused and Chicory blooms glow in roadsides. The flowers are of a curious shade of blue; it is hard to describe. New flowers open each morning and are at their best in filtered light; strong sun makes them close on themselves and disappear. At the end of each day they are gone and remain only as faded remnants. Bright new flowers will open tomorrow. It’s the root of Chicory that is prized my many as a flavoring for coffee. These stout roots are ground and roasted and added to coffee beans. I have several Louisiana friends who think coffee is not coffee without the addition of Chicory. When Yankee ships blockaded southern ports during the Civil War many items became scarce then not available at all. Ground Chicory roots, along with acorns, were All Things Wild And Wonderful By John Trott The Virginia Naturalist commonly used as a coffee substitutes. It occurs to me that / might have surrendered if by doing so I could get a cup of coffee. Lettuce called curly endive comes from Chicory. It has a slightly bitter taste but is splendid in salads with other greens. The jagged leaves have the look and taste of Dandelion. Euell Gibbons has much to say about chicory in Stalking the Wild Asparagus. I recommend this book. A good paperback edition is available and libraries usually have several copies. Gibbons tells us how to make a concoction from Chicory flowers to sooth tired and inflamed eyes and how to manage the plant to produce leaves for salads and for cooking a “mess of greens." Want to produce your own “coffee” from Chicory? Euell Gibbons tells you how. For now, I am satisfied to try to figure out how light and the progression of the day causes the periwinkle-blue flowers to open and close so many times. Another introduced plant dominates fields and roadsides these August days: Queen Anne’s Lace. It is well named. I do not know which Queen Anne gave her name to this plant, but I do appreciate the lacey look of the heads of the greenishwhite flowers which may measure four or five inches across. Carrots were developed from this bold and aggressive plant; if you do not believe me pull one from the ground and smell it. The odor of carrots is unmistakable. The root of Queen Anne’s Lace is tough and fibrous, i don’t recommend chomping down on it. Also the finely cut foliage of Queen Anne’s Lace is identical to that of the carrot. Look closely at a head of these delicate little flowers, in the center will usually be one — and only oneflower of a curious reddish brown color. And while you are looking, note that the flowers are on stems which curve out and up from a single point like the spokes of an umbrella. Indeed, Queen Anne’s Lace is in the Parsley family or Umbelliferae. Though now I believe botanists have replaced this Latin name with another, possibly less descriptive, term. The umbel is often repeated many times in member of this family. My books often describe this plant as “. . .a despicable and pernicious” plant. Strong words! It is also termed a “troublesome weed.” I have no doubt of this for it grows in abundance where there is plenty of light. Those maintaining field for fodder must firid it a great nuisance. Still, what would August be without Queen Anne’s Lace? I have only skimmed the surface in describing the wild flowers that make driving anywhere a pleasure these days. A pleasure, that is, if one is not in too much of a hurry. There is Bouncing Bet with pale pink flowers. Who was Bouncing Bet? She sound plump, happy and rosy cheeked to me. Bet is as much a mystery as Joe Pye. And who was this Timothy who gave his name to the grass with a sweet and chewable stem? Foxtail Grass grows right to the paved surface of roads as does Chicory. Foxtail is a wonderfully descriptive name for this grass. Then there are also those bright yellow flowers; Brown-eyed Susans and wild sunflowers. Susan, Timothy, Bet and Joe Pye; they must have been very special. Rappahannock Neves Stall Photo by Cindy Mahan Joe Pye Weed can be seen growing along U.S. 211.

It is constant and unchanging. From day to day, moods and attitudes may change according to circumstances...but not love, if truly it is love. We do not choose love. Love chooses us. It finds us in the most unlikely places at the most unusual times. Suddenly, that which was considered idealism magically becomes realism. Upon studying God's Word each Sabbath, we find love elevated to the highest plane when in 1 John 4:08, we are told that "God is love". In 1 Corinthians 13a:13, it is said, "So faith, hope; and love abide...but the greatest of these is love." Where love is involved, no obstacle is insurmountable. It has been stated that "faith can move mountains." Could it be that faith truly does move mountains...thus to reach love?

4-H'er Shares Farm Show Information Onfe of my favorite part of the annual Culpeper-MadisonRappahannock Farm Show, which was held July 25-29. is walking through the livestock bam to not only see the animals, but also to look at the exhibits made by the 4-H members. They had educational exhibits on goats, dairy, beef and swine. David Massie of Rappahannock County prepared an exhibit on pork. He displayed posters showing the cuts of pork plus other products that are made from swine, he had a recipe sheet featuring pork recipes that I’d like to share in my nutrition column this week. Nutrition Through improved genetics and feeding practices, today’s market hog is 50 percent leaner than the animal of 25 years ago. Pork is a leading source of thiamine (vitamin B-l). Thiamine is necessary for the conversioh of carbohydrates to energy. It i$ especially crucial to the normal functioning of the nervous system. It has an important role in promoting a normal appetite. The protein contained in pork is high quality, complete protein necessary to build and repair body tissues. Like all red meats, pork is a good source of iron. Iron is vital in the formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, the prevention of anemia and the transport of oxygen to body tissues. The following recipes are from David’s mother and grandother, so I know they’ve tested them and recommend them. Hope you will enjoy them, too.
