Superintendent of Schools Dr. David Gangel told the Class of ‘97 that life is like a journey in the wilderness. You need to figure out where you are, where you are going, and to carry a map and a compass. “It is up to you to prepare yourself for the future,” he said, and enjoy the journey. “In effect the journey is the reward,” he told the graduating seniors. Salutatorian John Arnold praised the members of his class, including three students who had babies during the school year and still managed to graduate, students who played two or three sports in a school year, those who volunteer at local fire and rescue companies. He told his fellow students that now they have finished high school, their lives will change drastically. Anna Metcalfe, the Valedictorian, said that this year has been especially meaningful for her. She talked about the sense of community in Rappahannock County, and how she’ll never forget how the students stood around the flag pole praying and remembering Mary Beth Williams. “It is this sense of community that makes this school and county the beautiful place it is,” she said. She encouraged her fellow students to remember Rappahannock and let its spirit continue to grow. Four teachers received science and education masters’ degrees from Shenandoah University and were recognized at the graduation ceremony: Ron Vickers, Jody Deck, Pat Clark and Carey Brogan. Among those receiving diplomas was Greg Williams accepting the diploma for his late sister, Mary Beth Williams.

Rappahannock New;, Staff Photo/Jan LaValley Leon Hutcheson’s peach trees at $unset Hills Farm, Washington, Va., didn’t fair well due to this year’s late frost which occurred in mid-April. Area growers report that peaches, nectarines and pears were hit the worst. . Peach, Pear Crops Hurt By Freeze By JAN LAVALLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer After mid-April’s unexpected freeze, area growers were waiting it out while hoping for the best for this year’s crops. When temperatures month before last dipped into the low 20s, growers - knew there would be an appreciableloss due to die early Spring and blossoming of the trees in their orchards. Rappahannock Extension Agent Kenner Love said, “Pretty much the Red Delicious were the worst hit, as we expected. Other crops seem to be pretty good for most growers, including the peaches.” “We won’t have a full crop, of course but 80 percent or so survived,” he said. Leon Hutcheson, of Sunset Hills Farm, which is higher up than most other area orchards and got hit harder, by the frost, said, “I think it depends on where you’re located or where the trees are located in the orchard.” “We probably lost 50 to 60 percent of our peaches. We usually get three bushels off a tree, but some of our trees have no peaches on them and some have only 12 to 15 or so.” Mr. Hutcheson pointed out the trees he was referring to which indeed had a very limited number of peaches on them and those that had none at all. While the trees looked healthy there was visibly no fruit on them. Those that fared better were behind the area where his home is located and he feels they were some- what protected because of this. “Our grand kids eiach have adopted a tree, put their name on it and are taking care of it. Some of them have trees with peaches and some don’t. We have about 12 adopted trees,” he said. He said his nectarines did not fair well either although the apples, with the exception of the red delicious, are okay. That comment was bom out by another area grower, Jerry Jenkins. “I have a pretty good idea now what has been damaged by the freeze,” he said. “Mostly the Red Delicious as far as the apples go, I think we’ll have a right smart crop of apples.” About 25 to 30 percent of the Red Delicious at Mr. Jenkins’ orchards were lost he said, but what concerns him most is the loss in peaches, pears and nectarines. “I’d say it (the frost) got 20 percent of the peaches, we have about 80 percent of what we usually have and it got over 50 percent of the nectarines. But it wiped out the pears. There is maybe 20 percent of the normal pear crop (we normally get) and they are so scattered <-i~ no one will pick them.” :ii-~ Mr. Jenkins has four acres in pears, two in nectarines, 26 in apples and 10 or so in peaches. “We’ve probably lost 10 percent of our crop overall,” he said. Mr. Hutcheson said the natural predators that annually consume a percentage of the crops are more of a problem this year due to the loss they’ve already suffered. “Deer and bear come in every night,” he said. “Bears love peaches. The trees next to the woods, if they have any peaches, won’t after the bears get them.” He was pleased though that his apples did better than he thought they would. “I think I’ll do pretty well on apples,” he said. “What we lose in one we’ll gain in another. But half of our peaches are gone." The apples were not in full bloom when the freeze hit and therefore did n’t suffer as much as other trees did, said Mr. Love. Frost damages the bloom, and if the tree is in full bloom the bloom will be killed. That, he said, means a reduced crop. However, if the tree is just coming into bloom, as was the case with the apple, trees, then the tree can recover and still bear fruit for this '*’* season. The peaches and nectarines were in full bloom when the freeze hit and they sustained more damage. Frost monitoring and prediction information provided by the Extension office indicates that when pears are in full bloom, temperatures of 28 degrees F will kill 10 percent of the crop and temperatures of 24 degrees F will kill 90 percent of the crop. For peaches the numbers are almost identical, which explains the heavy loss in those crops. / The reported temperatures in the Winchester area, which was hit a little harder then Rappahannock, were 22 to 24 degrees F. Statewide reports had temperatures at 20 to 30 degrees F and 22 to 26 degrees F. Damage varied with location and topography and the presence of natural or manmade wind.

This meeting cleared up a lot of questions that people had following the May 28 meeting. The committee made it clear that the reason the town would want to expand its boundaries would be so that they could control what would happen, if anything, to the area newly added to the town. That would include zoning. What it comes down to is, do the people of Washington want the town government or the county government to decide what would happen to that land which now surrounds the town? Ray Gooch, chairman of the Futures Committee, explained that the town will consider seeking planning to see what use land might be put to in a long-range plan. At the end of the meeting, the committee voted to contact Milton Herd, a planner from Loudoun County, who was recommended by County Administrator John McCarthy. If Mr. Herd agrees to work with the town, he will be at a town meeting in. the near future to talk with the committee and interested citizens. Stew Willis, a member of the committee, summarized some concerns he heard at the May 28 meeting. In part, he said, “In my view, after hearing our citzens, I do not believe it is appropriate to simply expand the town boundaries and then ask a planner to tell us what to do with the land...Rather I would suggest we identify issues and worries and then seek counsel as to how to address them.” Mr. Gooch said that the committee is really concerned See Town, Page A-6 Photo Courtesy of Kevin Weisgerber Remember Flag Day Saturday Submitted By KEVIN WEISGERBER It is significant that our flag, like the nation itself, took form by a change from sectional thinking into national unity.

Judge W. Shore Robertson deemed Mr. Moody competent to stand before the court and be sentenced. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke argued that Mr. Moody had an extensive prior record and that he had committed a serious offense involving the use of a deadly weapon. Mr. Luke said he saw a pattern of violent aggressive behavior in Mr. Moody and felt that a period of incarceration was warranted in order to protect the public from the defendant. Mr. Moody stated, “I was on crack and it led me to this place where I’m at.” He admitted that he was wrong and that he was sorry for what had happened. In the Arlington jail, where he is currently incarcerated, Mr. Moody said he has signed up to study for his GED, is taking bible lessons, and will attend substance abuse and anger management classes. Because of Mr. Moody’s prior record and the seriousness of the offense, said Judge Robertson, he did not suspend any of the five years in DOC that he was sentenced to. “The root of your problem is drugs and you are not alone...This record is a record that forces the courts to get more and more severe in the punishments they impose,” said Judge Robertson. Clayton Harland McDonald, 34, of Hartwood, was found guilty of reckless driving and was sentenced to six months in jail, with five months suspended. He will serve the 30 day jail sentence on work release. The reckless driving charge had been reduced from a DUI charge. Mr. McDonald will be on supervised probation for one year, and lose his driver’s license for six months. However, he may apply for a restricted license after 45 days. During the same offense, he was charged with possession of cocaine (a felony) and possession of marijuana (a misdemeanor). The judge put him on first offender status regarding the drug charges, meaning that if Mr. McDonald complies with his supervised probation, the charges may be dropped.

Rabies Warning Made A rabid raccoon bit a puppy in the Scrabble area last Friday. The puppy’s owner shot the raccoon, and it tested positive for rabies. Animal Warden Carl Menefee wants to warn everyone in the area of Scrabble and Castleton to make sure their dogs and cats have their rabies vaccinations. The puppy who was bitten by the raccoon had not had his rabies shot yet because he is too young. However, he is quarantined and the vet said he seems to be fine. State law requires that dogs get their first rabies shot when they are four months old. The incident took place at a residence on U.S. 522. Mr. Menefee will be checking for rabies tags and county tags on all dogs and cats. He reminds pet owners that county tags are required, and a pet needs rabies shots first. If someone sees a raccoon, just leave it alone, advises Mr. Menefee.

Rappahannock Raises Over $18,000 To Fight Cancer By JAN LAVALLEY Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer A week ago about 150 people from Rappahannock made a real difference in the lives of others. They walked in and raised money for the Relay for' Life, the American Cancer Society’s annual event to help raise funds to find a cure for cancer. The really amazing part of this V I ' I.i. story is the $18,046.82 that they raised. Rappahannock, Culpeper and Fauquier counties hold their Relay for Life event together. A total of $57,000 was raised this year. When you consider that the population of Culpeper or Fauquier is four to five times that of Rappahannock the effort at fundraising here becomes evident. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jan La Valley From left, Rappahannock walkers, Roberta Jenkins, Lynne Baines and Esther Settle on the first lap for cancer survivors. “Almost all families are touched by cancer,” said Esther Settle, who spearheaded the efforts here and is herself a cancer survivor. “It’s a community battle and we all want to find a cure.” “Last year we raised a little over $10,000 and about 85 people here participated,” she said. “This year we increased our fundraising by $8,000 and almost doubled the number of participants.” Rappahannock had 21 teams this year: The Rappahannock Community Team; the Flint Hill Fascar Racing Team; the Ruby Cannon Memorial Team; Poes’ Jericho Road Fox trotters; Rappahannock Rescue Team; Home Run For Health; the Lynne Baines Team; the Bailey Baptist Team; the Love & Laughter Team; the Brady Bunch; the Esther Settle Faith Warriors; the Rappahannock Bible School Club Team; the Rappahannock Walkers Team; the Rappahannock Methodist Church Team; the First Hope Promise Land’ers Team; the Woodville Joy Walkers Team; the Trinity Episcopal Church Team; the Louise Waybright Memorial Team; the Huntly Hoofers; the Fishing for a Leave Those Fledgling Birds Alone This is part two of a two part series on fledgling birds. In an attempt to raise a young bird, be prepared for time-consuming care for young birds have an remarkable metabolic rate and should bed fed a varied diet at about twenty-minute intervals during the hours of daylight. That is what occurs in the wild. Young birds also have to be kept warm and dry at all times so change the kleenex or toilet tissue lining to your temporary nest often. “Fecal sacs,” which young birds eject soon after swallowing food, are like disposable diapers. Normally, the adults would remove it from the nest immediately. Indeed, I have seen them wait for it after feeding the young. When nestlings are very young, the adults will eat it fro the sac contains nutrients. If not eaten, it is taken far from the nest and dropped. Droppings in the vicinity of the nest attract predators. Young birds have been raised to adults with a diet of mashed hard boiled egg, bits of canned dog food, and small balls of ground meat. Meal worms, available from pet stores are also good for young birds. Nestlings get all their moisture from their food so never give baby birds water, dip the food in water before presenting it to young bird.

Dipping the food in vitamin-laced water is a good idea. A muscle deep in the throat must be touched to trigger off swallowing and birds will continue to open their mouths even when the cannot take more food. So, if it doesn’t go down, pluck it out. Food presented on the tip of a tooth pick or with tweezers works best. Make some kind of call — perhaps a whistle — as you feed the young birds. That makes for association of the sound with food and will be of help later when the birds are flying around the Do not attempt to raise adulthood without givii thought to the future of the results. Birds are programmed by nature from the beginning to detect and avoid predators. This training cannot be duplicated by Homo sapiens. There have been exceptions to this as there are always exceptions with creatures with such a variety of individual behavior as in birds. It is best to plan to keep the bird for life. I know of only one person who has house broken a bird! That took a high degree of alertness and quick action. It’s best to leave young birds where you find them if they have left the nest naturally. If not, be prepared for around-the-clock care and feeding. It is virtually impossible to duplicate the remarkably varied diet a young bird would receive in the wild. Young birds being raised in captivity often die for no apparent reason. It is usually inadequate diet that causes this death. Good luck in any case.

ASSISTANCE AND INFORMATION Cure Team; and the Gators. “People who went last year had such a good time and a good feeling from participating,” Esther said in considering the feat of almost doubling last year’s funds raised and participants. “They felt they were doing something in the battle against cancer and so they told their friends and we had more people.” An estimated 500 people participated from all three counties. The opening ceremonies on Friday, May 30, at Airlie in Wanrenton, conveyed an air of jubilation, especially when the cancer survivors made the first lap of the Relay together. To see them smiling and walking that first lap to celebrate their personal victories over cancer made the efforts of fundraising and the help the funds make in the fight to cure cancer real to all present. Even the children present, and there were many, seemed to sense how special that lap was and how many individual efforts it signified. In addition to the Relay itself many other events went on in support of the effort being made. There was tailgate and campsite judging, line dancing, aerobics, face painting, a WKCW live remote, Kevin McDonnell from McDonnell Entertainment was MC, singing by Jerry May and Mark Fletcher, and the Luminaries ceremony to honor loved ones lost on Friday night. On Saturday, there was entertainment by Jazzercize, face painting, a magician, clowns, Smokey Bear, blood pressure checks and screenings, a State Police K-9 unit, a class on massage therapy, and a class on cosmetics by Mary Kay. Closing ceremonies were held and awards made at noon. Donations are still coming in according to the ACS office in Culpeper. The money goes to ACS for cancer research, education, prevention and patient services. Research benefits us all. It helps survivors because it provides better and better treatment and understanding of cancer. It benefits the rest of us because it also uncovers new research to help us all live healthier lifestyles and avoid cancer. The number of survivors is increasing annually. Recent news from the Cancer Institute reported that the death rate from cancer declined by three percent from 1991-1995. Dr. Richard Klausner, of the Cancer Institute, said, “The 1990s will be remembered as the decade when we measurably turned the tide against cancer.” The ACS also promotes the Great American Smoke Out which is held annually in November. The ACS also encourages breast self examinations and helps promote information about the importance of early detection of breast cancer. In addition, the ACS works to prevent cancer by speaking out against smoking, encouraging healthy diets and lifestyles, and providing information about mammograms. Patient services provided by ACS are expanding each year. They now supply cancer patients with assistance financially in obtaining pain medication, nutritional support, bed pans, turbans, wigs, hospital beds and information on all types of cancer. They also have the Reach to Recovery program for breast cancer patients and that program provides patients with a temporary prosthesis, materials for exercises, information booklets and a visit from an ACS volunteer. The ACS office may be reached at 825-0754 in Culpeper or 347-2924 in Warrenton. Photo Courtesy of Esther Settle The Rappahannock participants in the Relay for Life all get together for a group shot.

Reflections on Fathers Mothers get a lot of credit for the raising of children. Much ado is made about Mother’s Day. Consider: “He who has no children knows not what love means.” Proverb “It is a wise child that knows its own father.” Proverb “One father is sufficient to govern a hundred children, and a hundred children are not sufficient to govern one father.” Proverb “A father’s virtue is the child’s best inheritance.” Proverb “Parents must give good example and reverent deportment in the face of their children. And all those instances of charity which usually endear each other — sweetness of conversation, affability, frequent admonition — all signification of love and tenderness, care and watchfulness, must be expressed towards children; that they ^ may look upon their parents as their friends and patrons, their defense and sanctuary, their treasure and their guide.” Jeremy Taylor “I remember daddy’s hands how they held my momma tight, and patted my back for something done right. There are things that I’ve forgotten that I loved about the man, but I’ll always remember the love in daddy’s hands. Daddy’s hands were soft and kind when I was crying. Daddy’s hands were hard as steel when I’d done wrong. Daddy’s hands weren’t always gentle but I’ve come to understand — there was always love in daddy’s hands.” (sung by) Holly Dunn Happy Father’s Day to the dads out there. Stand Up, Take A Bow All those in Rappahannock who walked, helped raise money or in anyway contributed to the success of this year’s Relay For Life held on May 30 may stand up and take their bow. Rappahannock, with its limited population, managed to raise almost a third of the total amount raised by the three counties, the others being Culpeper and Fauquier. Consider for a moment how many people live in Culpeper and Fauquier. Culpeper uas an estimated population of 31,000 and Fauquier an estimated population of over 51,000. That’s a total of 82,000, as compared to about 7,200 in this county. That says volumes about the generous spirit and ‘willingness to help your neighbor’ attitude in this county. It also says something about the cancer survivors, now volunteers, who live here and help others battling the disease. They have turned a battle against a life-threatening ailment, and what can be a depressing and difficult time in any life, into an exercise in positive reinforcement, support and learning to accept the help and love of those around you.

Muth. In his time here (Mr. Muth and his wife Lydagene arrived in 1951) he performed innumerable good works as he had done previously in Washington, D.C. Mr. Muth served on the Zoning Appeals Board. He was a member of the Library Board. He was a trustee of the Culpeper Hospital. He worked in mental health. Perhaps his greatest reknown came as president of the Rappahannock Hunt. Fall after Fall the Muths presided and poured on their spacious Stone Haven acres as the Rappahannock Hunt hounds received the presiding clergyman’s blessing. Before retiring to Woodville Mr. Muth was a patent attorney in Washington and head of the Muth Artists’ Supply Company which later was sold to the Ginn Company. George Muth died at 90 on May 17 in Harrisonburg after a stroke leaving happy memories of his famous poker club among whom were Tom Pillar, Colonel Biddle, lan Pryde, Ned Johnson, Cliff Sutherland, A.Y. Stokes, and Jamie Jamieson. Friends will want to know that there will be a memorial service July 8 at 1 p.m. at Bethel Chapel in the Sunnyvale Retirement Community in Harrisonburg. George was our longtime neighbor on Yancey Road near Woodville. A wittier, kinder, more solicitous friend would be hard to come by. RAY SCHERER Woodville Local Play Was Inspiring To the Editor: I attended the play “Rumble in the Mountain” presented by the drama class of Rappahannock County High School Saturday evening. May 31, and came away very inspired and proud of what these young people had accomplished. Working under the direction of Miss Cindy Cummins, teacher of the drama class, and Ms. Laurie Marshall, Artist-in-Residence, they created together their own script for a play dealing with conflict resolution and then performed superbly in its production. The mediums of art, writing, dance, music and acting were all woven together into a fast moving tale about a real life problem that the youth could identify with and how it could be positively resolved. Using the analogy of a conflict to that of an earthquake, the students encouraged their listeners to believe that just as new mountains can be formed from such natural disasters so too can closer relationships and deeper understandings develop from conflicts effectively resolved. The audience was given three sim pie techniques to help with the process: (1) Air the viewpoint, (2) Clarify the need, and (3) Brainstorm the Solution. The excitement and energy displayed by these young performers revealed how important they felt their message was in helping to build a better world. I personally want to congratulate them and their teachers on a job well done! REV. PHILLIP W. BAILEY Washington The Best Relay Ever To the Editor: As many of you know. The Relay For Life was a huge success. I want to thank everyone, the Team Captains, team members, those who donated money or helped in any way for making this the best Relay in our four year history. Rappahannock had twenty-one teams and raised $18,046.82. I have lived here 40 years and am still amazed at the kindness and generosity of the Rappahannock people. The money raised goes to the American Cancer Society for research, education, prevention, and patient services. Thanks again to everyone for coming to Airlie to celebrate life. ESTER SETTLE Co-Coordinator Relay For Life-Rappahannock God Made It Just Right To the Editor: Rappahannock County doesn’t look like any other place on earth. It doesn’t look like any other county in the Virginia Piedmont. For over twenty years I’ve been studying it, trying to figure out just what quality, or combination of qualities, make it so special. I still don’t know. Perhaps, as my husband Scott said recently, “When God created Rappahannock, He got it just right.” I applaud our Planning Commission for their sensitivity to that ‘specialness’, and their efforts to preserve it. NANCY MCBRIDE Sperryville It's Common Sense Folks To the Editor: The May 15 Orange County Review editorial page asked “What is the most important issue for the candidate to focus on?" Of the four people who were asked, Wayne Modena’s answer best summed up their responses: “Education and safety for our young people.” Why did Mr. Modena connect education with safety? What does safety have to do with learning calculus or Latin or history? Unfortunately, nowadays it has everything to do with it. Three other articles from regional publications spell out the problem and the troubles it adds up to. The May 7 Culpeper StarExponent had a front page article about the nightmare ride experienced by school bus driver Joyce Yeiser. As her bus pulled away from school, she smelled a “blunt”, a hollowed-out cigar in which, as Mrs. Yeiser put it, students “insert the smokable stuff of their choice.” Mrs. Yeiser did not immediately pull the bus over because, the article relates, a “child has to be caught smoking on three separate occasions to be disciplined with more than a referral.” “As the smoke worsened she did pull the bus over and when she confronted the youth he threatened her and cursed her “using every swear word possible.” When she began driving again, the youth and a friend came up and sat in the seats directly behind her and across from her, one boy slapping a pair of shoes together and the other continuing to curse and threaten her. Mrs. Yeiser summed it up by saying, “1 feel school buses should be safe for the bus drivers... These kids have no business ever being on a school bus, and I’m not sure kids are safe in school with kids like (them).” She concluded by saying, ‘They need an adult to say ‘this is your boundary’.” The May edition of Rural Living, the publication sent out by the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, had in it a letter from Thomas T. Earles, also of Culpeper, who wrote: “As a high school teacher for 32 years I am acutely aware that discipline is the single most important factor in providing a quality education for your youngsters... Students who are disruptive and refuse to follow the ‘rules of the house’ should be expelled from school so they don’t jeopardize the rights of the good students to learn... We do a great disservice to our schools and society if we do not insist on proper behavior from young people.” Are our children able to be educated in these unsafe environments? Th^ answer is “No”, says Dr. Henry Bauer} a chemistry professor at the University of Virginia. In a Richmond Times Dispatch article dated May 21, Da Bauer says, “Freshmen come not only unprepared in English, math and basi£ science, but they come unschooled in. studying...I’m not condemning students wholesale. The students are the greatest victims of grade inflation and lower expectations.” I agree, schools should be educational institutions, not substitutes for detention centers. There is no single, simple solution to this complex problem, but one way I believe we can help to put a learning atmosphere back in our schools is to reduce compulsory education age from 18 to age 16. In this way students who want to stay in school would be in a learning environment free from many of those who only want to cause trouble. This solution isn’t Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative, it’s just plain common sense. J.

The Backstop is Open By TED ALLEN Rappahannock News Contributinf Writer Spring has sprung and The Backstop is open after nine months of arduous labor. Dan Lowery and Earl Lillard opened Fauquier County’s first batting cage on May 12. Located across from Taylor Middle School in Warrenfon the Backstop features five batting stations and five pitching machines. Originally targeted for a fall opening, rains set the project back several months. The two-man project started last July and Mr. Lowery and Mr. Lillard spent numerous weekends and evenings at work. The two men have invested more than $100,000 in materials and labor in the project. The Backstop is patterned after batting cages now common in Northern Virginia. “There’s one in Centreville and Fredericksburg by the same manufacturer,” Mr. Lowery said. “Automatic Batting Cages makes the machines in Oregon and I picked the size from the options available on the land we have.” There are two dual pitching machines which have the option of serving up fast-pitch and slow-pitch softball. Batters must wear a helmet and tennis shoes upon entering a batting station; no cleats will be allowed. Helmets are provided by The Backstop as well as bats, or people may bring their own bats, Mr. Lillard said. Tokens, which cost $1 a piece, will start the machines on a cycle of 12 balls, with six seconds between pitches. Batting stations may also be rented by the hour. The pitching guns will be set at various speeds with the fastest baseball pitching machines in the center station and the slowest,'Tor baseball and softball, on the outside.

He hopes that school letting out will also help. “The kids love it and the parents have said how thankful they are to have something for the young people to do.” “We expect to stay busy all summer,” Mr. Lowery said. Mr. Lillard, who is from Rappahannock, said, “We know a lot of people from Rappahannock, since I’m from there and there is a lot of interest there in baseball. Through the Rappahannock Athletic Association word has been getting out. It’s a lot of fun for the kids and parents too. They can get out together, so all ages enjoy it.” The Backstop is open now at 3 p.m., after school lets out, and stays open until 9 or 10 p.m., whenever customers are finished Mr. Lillard said. On weekends they’re open from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. Beginning June 23, they will start opening at 9 a m. and see if the response is good. “My guess is we’ll probably start at noon eventually,” said Mr. Lillard, “and adjust the opening hours as necessary depending on the response. We don’t know what that will l?e yet so we’re going to start out at 9 a.m. like on weekends.” • Mr. Lillard said since the business is seasonal, and dependent upon the weather, it’s outside, they want to give people as much access as possible for as long as they can.

► Town From Page A-l about protecting the western views of the town, protecting the watershed, and having a say in how the undeveloped areas are developed (that would happen through subdivision and zoning ordinances). If more land was brought into the town boundaries, the zoning Ordinance would have to be amended, but there would be constant public input for that, said Mr. Gooch. Committee member Peter Skowronski put it in a nutshell. He said that the county said what if development happens it will happen around the towns. ‘The reason we are doing this is so that we can control it,” he said. Charlie Tompkins, chairman of the Wastewater Study Committee, said that the town would control their own watershed if the town boundaries were expanded. He showed a map of the town and surroundings to the group and pointed out the two main swales (low areas of land; wet, marshy areas) around the town. In a later interview, Mr. Tompkins said that he favors an environmentally friendly balanced ecosystem, and it would make sense that the town have legislative control over it. He pointed out that he has been told that an acceptable discharge of fecal coliform from septic systems is up to 200ppm (parts per million). Most of the town, he said, is not that high but a cow pasture could be up to 500ppm. Before a wastewater system is decided on for the town is designed, the designer will need to know how many people will be usirtg it. The size of a wetlands or drainfield has a limited task it can accomplish, said Mr. Tompkins. That is another reason why it would be good for the town to know if the boundaries are going to be expanded before they really get into looking at wastewater issues. Before the next town council elec Includes HUGE SUN DECK! 317 Iff outside dimensions FAMILY CI7C SWMjfllNG PO§L 1-800-447-7207 Call 24 hours a day, TOLL FREE! tion next May, the Futures Committee will be having an ongoing dialogue with the town residents and interested citizens about the issues brought up at the last two meetings. Nothing will be decided before then. Their main concern is to have this interaction and input so they have a good understanding of what people want. Others at the meeting expressed their viewpoints. Diane Bruce said it seems the town is right to think about the future. During the last council water taps were given away, on the land along Harris Hollow Rd., in exchange for a right of way for the water system on that land. “Now we have a problem,” she said. Jennings Hobson said he had a lot of concerns. “You either manage the dynamics or they manage you,” he said, adding “Change does hurt. It always does.” Two former parking studies have shown that there is not a parking problem in town, though some disagree with that. Peter Skowronski will be looking at the parking issue and will report to the new council next June. ► Graduates From Page A-l was dedicated to her.

The search took him to 239 Arch Street, in Philadelphia the home where Betsy Ross made flags and made “Old Glory.” In 1898 community leaders, urged by Weisgerber, formed the American; Flag House and Betsy Ross Memorial Association. The Weisgerber’s moved into the Flag House to preserve the building. In 1902, son Charles Weisgerber was bom there and succeeded his father as* curator in 1931. The painting has been in storage for; over 50 years. The mission of the grandsons, Charles and Stuart is to get the painting restored and back on display. The Birth Of Our Nation’s Flag,, the painting by Charles H. Weisgerber, is a depiction of Betsy Ross displaying the original flag to George Washington' and the flag committee, Robert Morris and George Ross. The painting does not appear in any catalogue of American paintings and the artist does not appear in any of the dictionaries of American artists. “The painting has been in storage for over 50 years. My brother, Stuart, and I have been trying to get the 9 by 12 foot canvas on display for many years,” said Charlie Weisgerber. “On Thursday, June 12, Willard Scott will re-introduce the painting to _ his NBC audience. I have been invited to be there. He will show a three by - four foot copy of grandfather’s “Flag Day” creation. June 14 is the 220th birthday of the flig,” he said. “We need donors to help restore the painting and later we’ll donate it to a museum or suitable location. We are in touch with the Smithsonian. As a result of the TV announcement we expect to hear from some possible donors,” he said.“Finally, art teacher Joann Menezes, of the University of Maine has written a book on Betsy Ross with mention of our family’s involvement. We hope to see it published soon.” Those interested in becoming donors may contact, from June 12 through June 23, Charles Weisgerber will be at Kevin Weisgerber’s, 140 White Rose Mt.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News CounhySide Real Estate Classifieds B WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11,1997 By CINDY MAHAN RWMhunodk Nnn Staff Writer Every time you are looking at a magazine or going through CD’s in a music shop, you may be looking at illustrations done by Slate Mills artist Steve Kenny. A recent transplant from New York City, Mr. Kenny (actually known as Steve Adler for his illustration work) spent several years there in the business of commercial illustration and worked with an artists’ agency in that field. He now works as an agent for other artists and keeps very busy producing and promoting his own illustrations. His portfolio is impressive, filled with his artwork that has appeared on CD covers for “Journey,” advertiseBMKS.r..•• ments for United Air Lines, Microsoft, Ragu, and many others, billboards for The Sands Hotel in Atlantic City, book covers for AvoNova fantasy books, the Book of the Month Club News, and a long list of illustrations for many magazine articles, including Time Magazine and Omni Magazine, and the cover of the New York Times Book Review. Soon to be on the market will be a new Celestial Seasonings tea (known for the beautiful art on their packages), Jasmine Green Tea, for which Mr. Kenny has done the package illustration. Mr. Kenny’s art is extremely meticulous, much of it surrealistic, with fine details throughout. He always works with oil paints, and Steve Kenny with one of his illustrations at the Glassworks Gallery in Sperryville where his work is showing. often uses a brush that has just a few hairs on it so he can produce the finest details. Most of his illustrations are done of a natural setting, often incorporating birds, water and/or an abundance of wildflowers. He said that a lot of people have asked him if he somehow uses a computer to produce his work, but that is not the case. He works out of a studio in his home on Route 707 near Slate Mills, using a small easel set up on a table so that he can get close to what he is painting. He uses a gro-lite along with the fluorescent lighting in the room to be as much like natural light as possible. He and his wife Donna moved here in March. They discovered Rappahannock County after they had visited several open houses at Perelandra in Jeffersonton. “We just fell in love with this part of Virginia,” said Donna. And it was an easy decision to move here because they can both do their work with the help of telephones, faxes and Federal Express. Because a lot of illustrators now have their own website, said Mr. Kenny, he will soon be getting a computer and designing his own website. He will be able to put as many of his illustrations as he wants on the computer where potential clients can see his work immediately. “Every art director has a computer now,” he said. As many artists do when they move into Rappahannock County, Mr. Kenny gravitated toward the artists and art galleries in the county. He presently has a show of 17 paintings, including the first one he has done since he moved here (it has a cardinal in it) in the upstairs gallery at Glassworks Gallery on U.S. 211 in Sperryville (across from Mountainside Market). Two prints of posters that he has produced are also for sale. The opening for his show will be held this Sunday, June 15 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Glassworks Gallery, owned by Eric Kvames, is open Thursdays through Sundays from noon to 6 p.m. In August, he will be displaying his work at the Rappahannock Library. Mr. Kenny received a BFA degree in illustration from the Rhode Island A poster which Steve Kenny designed for Microsoft. Award-Winning Painter To Teach By JAN LAVALLEY Rappahannock Newi Stiff Writer “There is balance of subjectivity and objectivity that becomes apparent in the process of on location landscape painting. Other painting experiences don’t compare to it,” said Mike Francis. Mike is an award winning realistic landscape painter and art instructor from Arlington who will conduct a three-day “plein air” Country Landscape Painting Workshop in oil or acrylic at Shimmering Meadows Studio later this month. “There is a diverse stylistic range within these possibilities,” he said of how students view landscapes. “Not everyone perceives it in the same way. It is a misconception that people often have. Another misconception is they think they have to be human cameras. That’s not the way people see landscapes when they paint them from life. It’s not a photo, where the light and location are determined for you.” “Plein air,” or painting in the open air, the student experiences a visual and emotional sense of scene that lends itself to the work in progress. The workshop will be designed to teach the fundamentals of landscape painting. Emphasis on color and design will be stressed. Mike is master at demonstrating approach and technique, and will take his students step by step through the process from composition and drawing in to learning to see and use paint color to bring the painting to life. “We will go out and set up and paint. We’ll use two different settings each day. The light changes in the middle of the day. We’ll paint in the morning and afternoon to get a sense of sites and then bring paintings back to the studio to finish,” he said. “We’ll also do critiques of the work the students do in class. I’ll demonstrate in the beginning and I also paint while they paint in addition to going around from student to student to give them advice and criti cism,” he said. “For example, if it’s glorious outside and your painting is dark and muddy you know you’ve done something wrong.” Mike said there will be a critique the first day and on the third day the critique will be after lunch so that the students may take advantage of the information given in the critique for the rest of the afternoon painting session, and in this way, through reinforcing his painting principles and through individual instruction and critique. “It depends on the student as to how many paintings they do. Some people will work on one painting the entire workshop and some will do one every day,” he said. “We’ll divide classes into a morning scene and an afternoon scene. I’ll do a demonstration at both locations to take advantage of the light,” he said. The workshop is open to all levels of painting; however, familiarity with the medium is required. “A lot of what I paint is urban scenes from Northern Virginia and near Fort Meyer,” he said. ‘To have a change scenery is refreshing and it’s beautiful here (in Rappahannock).” Mike studied at The Corcoran School of Art; received his B.F.A. from Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Md.; and his M.F.A. from George Washington University, Washington, D.C. He participated in advanced art studies at American University and independent study in Europe and Mexico. For over 24 years he has been a professional artist and has been instructing students in fine art classes and workshops for over 18 years. Currently he is a Professorial Lecturer in fine Arts at George Washington University, Washington, D.C. and teaches landscape painting at The Art League School. Mike has an impressive list of awards to his credit including the Virginia Prize for Painting awarded to him in 1987. His work has been favorably reviewed numerous times by The Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jan LaValley Mike Francis, landscape artist, will be teaching a class in landscape painting later this month. Washington Post and in publications of the New Art Examiner, Museum and Arts Washington Magazine, and The Washington Times Dispatch. He has many individual and group shows to his credit. His wife, Dannie Dawson, is a prominent painter in her own right who specializes in portraiture, figure and still life. Mike and Dannie teach workshops overseas to groups. They will be conducting a workshop in late July in Italy near the Italian Riviera. The workshop will include instruction by sculptor Paul Luccase. Mike will teach landscape painting and Dannie will teach figure and still life. People interested in this workshop should call (703) 271-9032. They’re also in the planning stages of a workshop to Ireland. Shimmering Meadows Farm, in Slate Mills, provides landscape settings with rolling meadows and vistas of the Hazel River as it meanders through the terrain and between the farm’s trees. Fields of hay rolls, old bams, near and distant mountain views, and vineyards in addition to the historic Slate Mills country church (founded 1855) with surrounding old homes and gardens present additional and varied landscape painting opportunities. The Art League School in Alexandria in cooperation with Shimmering Meadows Farm Studio will sponsor the Country Landscape Workshop which will be held on June 21-23 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Shimmering Meadows Farm. The workshop fee is $195. Daily lunch and beverages will be provided. Class size is limited. For information call the Art League School at (703) 6832323 or Carol \bgel at 547-4385. A supply list and directions will be sent with registration confirmation. School of Design. He spent his senior year studying independently in Rome, and while there, he spent a great deal of time studying the art of the early Renaissance Italian, Dutch and Flemish painters. He said he is fascinated most by the 15th and 16th century Flemish and Dutch painters Bosch, Breughel, Memling and Jan van Eyck. “The works of that period are so rich in color, detail, and symbolism. It’s wonderful to see how they enjoyed depicting tangible surfaces, space and the effects of light,” said Mr. Kenny. About his illustration work, Mr. Kenny says: “I’ve always considered myself a craftsman. Great satisfaction comes from working with my hands and I really enjoy looking at objects that are deftly crafted. To look at art that is the produce of someone having spent years becoming technically proficient is a very inspiring experience for me. This, in large part, is a quality I hope is evident in the illustrations I do. Whether they are straightforwardly photo-realistic or fantastically surreal, I want my use of color, drawing, composition, and handling of paint and brush to be sound. As an illustrator, it is rare that I am given control of the subject matter of my paintings — but, at least I can try to achieve technically what the Old Masters were also striving for.” Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan An illustration Steve did for a CD for the group Journey. Photo Courtesy of Mary Ann Kuhn Patriotic music and marching by the Alexandria Royal Fyfes, Drums & Trumpets will lead off the evening’s fireworks festivities at 8:25 p.m. for this year’s Fourth of July Festival in Washington, Va.

Will I ever be able to fill them, even in a million years?” From this young boy’s perspective, it seems an impossibility. Yet, nourished by his father emotionally and spiritually, it is possible that one day he shall be able to fill his father’s shoes. A father possesses great power. Acts 7:51 states, “as your father did, so do ye. ” This Sunday, as we honor fatherhood, may all fathers realize their power, and use it for good; and may their children respect that power in order to grow in the knowledge of their father’s wisdom and love. Let us ultimately remember the power of our Heavenly Father as we worship Him this Father’s Day. \o one will ever fill His shoes. ^ _ zcnpturea Selected Dv ?ne Air>ertc,in Bide Society V - .wqm :*>7 Ke<sie'-Williams Newspaper $e-/ ces P O Box 3005 Charlottesville VA 22906 ABERDEEN BARN Steaks • Seafood • Prime Rib Banquets • Luncheons in the Holiday Inn of Culpeper (540) 825-1037 Jimmie’s Auto Parts Complete line of foreign & domestic parts 161 Saunders St. • Ciupe (540) 825-8030 ipeper The Color Shoppe Paint • Carpet • Wallcovering Blinds Rt 29 South • 2 miles from Culpeper Old Hudson Ham Building 547-9743 GOLDEN CORRAL Family Steak House (540) 825-5888 • Culpeper ' ; Church Activities are brought to you courtesy of these advertisers and the Rappahannock News

Suggestions for Father's Day Entertaining This upcoming Sunday, June 15, is Father s Day and what to serve for special days is always a topic of conversation. Whether you plan a hearty breakfast, a light lunch and a family gathering for the dinner hour, it all requires special thoughts for a special day. Fathers usually enjoy breakfast, especially if they are farmers or if their work keeps them outside for most of the time. Casseroles that can be prepared the night before makes for a wonderful start to that perfect Father’s Day breakfast. Served with toast or french toast if you feel energetic enough and topped off with fresh fruit and fresh squeezed orange juice would be delightful and sure to please any Dad. Following are a couple of casserole recipes that are easy to make and always a hit. Overnight Breakfast Brown 1 pound of sausage, put 4 slices of bread in casserole dish. Whip: 8 eggs. 2 1/2 cups of milk and 1 teaspoon dry mustard. Pour over bread and sausage mix ture. Top with 2 cups grated cheddar cheese. Refrigerate overnight. Bake 350 degrees for 1/2 hour. Scrambled-Egg Casserole Use the make-ahead directions when you know your morning is going to be busy. 1/4 cup chopped green pepper of sliced green onion 3 tablespoons margarine or butter 6 beaten eggs 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 2/3 cup milk 3/4 cup shredded American or process Swiss cheese (3 ounces) 2 tablespoons diced pimiento (optional) 1/4 cup plain or seasoned fine dry bread crumbs Oven 350 degrees In a large skillet cook green pepper or onion in 1 tablespoon of the margarine till tender. Add eggs; cook over medium heat without stirring till mixture begins to set on bottom and around edge. Lift and fold partially cooked eggs so uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking till just set. Transfer to a 1-quart casserole. In a small saucepan melt 1 tablespoon of the margarine. Stir in flour and 1 /8 teaspoon pepper. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Stir in cheese till melted. Stir in pimiento. Fold cheese mixture into cooked eggs. Melt remaining margarine; toss with crumbs. Sprinkle over egg mixture. Bake in a 350 degrees oven for 15 to 20 minutes or till hot. Serves 4. To make ahead: Prepare as above, except do not bake. Cover and refrigerate casserole for 3 to 24 hours. Bake, covered, 25 minutes. Uncover, bake 10 to 15 minutes more or till hot. If you have a hearty breakfast, a mid-afternoon cook-out with family and friends may suffice for the day. With the grilling season upon us and the ever famous hamburger, hotdog, grilled chicken dishes we may opt for, served with cold salad dishes, relishes, etc. will round out a perfect Father’s Day meal. Certainly, for Father’s Day we cannot forget the dessert, try something simple' and delicious. Several years ago I was in Ohio visiting with the family of some friends and the lady of the house made some of the most wonderful desserts. I watched as she made candy from memory and thought, what’s next? ■ She explained how she had a cake recipe she had used for years and just began adding ingredients into a mixing bowl. Well, once it was in the oven 1 inquired as to the ingredients and she had memorized the recipe, quoted it and I must say it’s one of the simplest and best cake recipes I have ever tried. It’s perfect for Father's Day. If your family doesn't care for pineapple, several other recipes have been included in the column and we hope you will try one or more in celebration of Father's Day this weekend.
