120th Year, No. 27 ... 12 Pages Phone (540) 675-3338 Wednesday, July 2,1997 A Times Community Newspaper 50 cents Not what it seemed By JAN LAVALLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer An alleged abduction which reportedly occurred at the Rappahannock County Library on June 19 has generated a huge concern in the community and led to a rash of unsubstantiated stories regarding the incident. Rappahannock Sheriff Gary Settle and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said this week that the incident may have been blown out of all proportion. They said that somewhere between 4 to 4:30 p.m. on June 19 a mother was at the library with her two children, 5 and 7, who See COPS, Page A6 r An Invitation For the 36th consecutive year, the Carrigans extend an invitation to all the people of Rappahannock County to spend the evening of July Fourth on the grounds of Avon Hall.

See story, Page B1. Board dismayed over incident at library By JAN LAVALLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer “As most of you are aware a very disturbing incident occurred outside the library on Thursday, June 19,” said Rappahannock Library Director David Shaffer to the Library Board at last week’s meeting. “At approximately 4:15 p.m., a man attempted to entice a child playing in the library parking lot into his car. The incident has been reported to the sheriff and signs have been posted around the library notifying parents.” The sheriff is following up on leads concerning the incident. The board expressed its dismay and concern over the incident and pointed out that even in Rappahannock, which is so rural in nature, you have to he careful in* these times. ": The library also received notification of the amount of its state aid grant for FY98 as approved by the State Library Board, June 17. The library will receive $23,403, an increase of $743 from FY97 and an increase of $1,365 over their original projection for FY98, which was $22,038. Mr. Shaffer also advised the board that it was reported last week in The Washington Post that Microsoft chairman Bill Gates is donating $200 million in cash to establish a foundation that will bring computers to public libraries. Details are still being worked out but, “monies will go primarily to low-income areas, or areas where / ■ populations are unlikely to have ready access to a computer,” said Mr. Shaffer. He will get applications and information on the grants as it becomes available and he thinks Rappahannock is a good candidate for a grant. The board approved a motion to support Mr. Shaffer in his efforts to secure a grant. The Friends of the Library are gearing up for their annual used book sale to be held July 4 in the town hall. Lois Snead is heading up the sale and she and volunteers have been working toward getting ready. The Friends also asked Mr. Shaffer what the library’s most pressing need was now and he told them a new computer for the circulation desk. They voted to approve a new computer, up to $3,000, pending a formal request from the Library Board. The board and Mr. Shaffer were overwhelmed by the generosity of the Friends, seeing as that group had just provided funds for paving of the parking lot and furniture for the library. The board approved making a formal request and noted that their support and efforts are most appreciated. It was also reported that the Rappahannock Lions Club and the Rappahannock Bank made contributions of $200 and $125 respectively to the Summer Reading Program which started June 30 at the library. See LIBRARY, Page A6 School Board payouts Money for roof work available By JAN LAVALLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County School Board met last week for their year end payout meeting. The good news is there is some money left over, which will be returned to the Board of Supervisors, and which the school board hopes they will then be able to apply for to make up the difference in cost for the roof replacement at the Rappahannock High School. The roof project which will cost $184,000, also will have added costs for the contractor change orders of $5,000, for roof consultants of $5,000, for review of construction of $3,000, for the air conditioning relocation of $13,500, which brings the brand total to $210,500. The supervisors have allocated $150,000. However, the board still needs $60,500. The revenue funds from over appropriations totaled $40,380.44, which when subtracted from $60,500, leaves $20,119.56 needed for the roof repair. Those over appropriations funds came from the difference between total projected revenues, to be received by June 30, of $6,422,977.34 and a budget appropriation of $6,382,596.90. The available balance under the appropriations summary is $117,666.79, less the return on restroom funds to the supervisors of $21,000, and less the June bills of $76,187.83 leaves $20,478.96. That amount less the roof project funds still needed leaves $359.40 to be returned to the supervisors if they agree to let the school board use the over appropriation monies. 9 The board also received a report on the summer maintenance schedule... This includes for both schools, carpet cleaning, snaking out drain lines, service ventilators and repair controls in the cafeteria and gym at RCES, replacing radiator covers in the gym, repainting the gym floor, replacing the window shades at RCES, replacing the rear cafeteria doors at RCES, RCES and RCHS water chlorinators (upon approval of the Health Department). It also includes, fire alarm and fire extinguisher inspections, painting of classrooms, replacement of the rear auditorium door, carpet cleaning, septic tank cleaning, and back flow devices. It was also reported that all personnel positions for next year have been filled. It was motioned and approved that Robinson, Farmer & Cox will conduct the activities account audit. The board also decided that more planning toward future goals needs to be implemented during the meetings and that long range planning is in order. The board will begin this process on July 17 at 7:30 p.m. in a work session. Its regular meeting is July 15 at 8 p.m. The board approved the transfer of funds in the budget, the budget summary and bill expenditures. They then approved the closing of the budget for FY 1996-97.

In last week’s issue a sentence was mistakenly omitted from Mr. Roderick Sweet’s Letter to the Editor. The paragraph should have read: During discussion of the controversial proposed amendments, several people in the County were heard to complain that they saw no reason to bring the Constitution into the conversation because this was a “local” issue. Apparently those people have forgotten that the Constitution was written by The Founding Fathers of this country specifically to protect individual citizens from oppression by local, state and federal government bodies whose objectives many seem benevolent but aren’t. It will not happen, I am sure, but it would benefit all if every citizen would read the Constitution and The Bill of Rights every few years just to be sure we are not being denied our rights, l „ Aa recent k history, has shown all too clearly, totalitarian regimes, whether communist or fascist, gained strength and ultimately complete control by gradually whittling away at individual freedoms, always accompanied by sensibly sounding reasons.

WorkCamp ’97 an inspiration By LAWRENCE JAMES Rappahannock News Special Writer This past week, six young men and women of the Catholic Diocese of Arlington moved over the area like a wave. Under the care and guidance of 150 young adults, more than 160 youngsters were part of WorkCamp ’97, a yearly effort by the diocese to reach out to the community at large and help those in need no matter their religious affiliation. They came from across the diocese and paid to give up a week of their time to volunteer doing hard labor in over 90 degree heat. For some of the young participants it was the return to what they do every summer. They all agreed that the workcamps are the best thing they have ever done and God willing they will be back again next year. Why do they do this and why keep coming back? They universally responded, it’s fun and you meet new people and learn new things. Make no mistake, they said, we’re here to continue what Christ started — helping our neighbors who need our help. “Service to help others, it’s what Jesus did and what we should be doing,” said one young man. “You know there is nothing more satisfying to me than looking at the smile on the Photo Courtesy of LAWRENCE JAMES TAKING A BREAK: WorkCamp ‘97 members with Mr. William ‘Bill’ Cameron, top, at his home near Sperryville.

The cost to the Diocese of Arlington per participant is $600 for food, lodging, transportation and construction materials. Of that total, each young person had to pay $250 on their own to take part. All of the money was raised by working, fundraising or from parental contributions, and lots of praying they said. This year, 30 work crews spread out all over the diocese at 30 sites and installed wheel chair ramps at the homes of individuals selected by local social service agencies, here the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Service Board. Each of the crews consisted of five or six young people, one responsible adult and one contractor. Contractors came from as far away as the state of Maine. A contractor from Raleigh, N.C., Dan, came for the seventh year. All said they’re here to help other and not for self aggrandizement. They will put in what amounts to 5,000 volunteer hours, a major contribution of time and funds. Bill Cameron and William Brown, of Rappahannock, were local recipients of this year’s WorkCamp wonders. Volunteers spent a week at Mr. Cameron’s home installing a long wheel chair ramp that will allow him to be mobile again, he says. “It’s wonderful,” he said. “And these kids — I can’t say enough good things about them. Why, this ramp I would never have been able to afford, it’s probably $3,500.” The contractor verified that is very close to the actual cost. This is the second time Mr. Cameron has been the beneficiary of labor provided by WorkCamp programs. Last year, he got his floor replaced and tiled. “It’s truly hard not to believe in God when you see all these kids helping out to get me mobile,” he said. Father Chuck McCoart, the director of youth activities for the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, said he was proud to be associated with all the volunteers. Over 5,000 volunteer hours in four days time is a remarkable feat. But those are just figures, it’s the experience which means so much more to these young people than what we see on paper. The physical, tangible feat they accomplish is nothing compared to the spiritual boost they get. They say unlike the length of a board, or an amount of money spent, it’s too great — it can’t be measured. “We all get closer and closer to God and we gain a much clearer understanding of just what his message is to us all,” one of them said, which seemed to sum it up for them all. Their message is exciting and inspirational. How many of us would pay $250 and put in the time they did to help others just for the pure satisfaction of doing so?

Water show to open at Middle Street By MARY BETH MARTIN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Water Show at the Middle Street Gallery is opening July 4 and it is well worth seeing. Jerry Scott, the director of Touchstone Gallery of Washington, D.C., chose the works from among many entries. The artists represented come from Rappahannock, and the surrounding counties, Washington, D.C., and as far away as Maine. There is a variety of media in painting and sculpture, but all the works show the many faces of water either in rivers, the ocean, ponds, dew or snow. One comes away feeling refreshed after viewing the works. There will be a ceramic sculpture by Carrie Watman installed outside for the duration of the show.

Growth and development must be planned and controlled through strong, clear and fairly enforced zoning regulations sensitive to Rappahannock’s character, powerful beauty, and the quality of life of its people. Development plans must be reconciled with the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the essential roadmap to our future. ' 2. Education standards should be steadily raised and facilities updated in recognition that education is the key to unleashing the potential of our youth. 3. New business and clean industry for economic expansion should be actively sought to provide new employment opportunities for our residents and their children under conditions which ensure that these businesses are self-supporting, not a burden on the tax base. Tourism and the business that supports it should be strongly encouraged, since they provide revenue without the attendant major public services demaded by other industries. 4. Volunteerism, a hallmark of those who live in this proud and independent community, will be supported and encouraged as a continuing reflection of the strong timber and fierce spirit of the Rappahannock heritage. 5. Recognizing that none of these objectives may be rer^zed without a vigorous, democratic local government, this newspaper will remain politically independent and independently investigate any abuse of public trust by public officials. Ihe Time Machine from the Rappahannock News back when 30 Years Ago Thursday, June 29, 1967 Richmond, Va — Noting that the four-day Memorial Day holiday this year cost Virginia 20 traffic deaths, Colonel C.W.

Letters to the Editor Freedom: What it means To the Editor: With the 4th of July quickly approaching, everyone’s mind automatically thinks of America and the freedom it represents, “America the Land of the Free and the Brave.” We in America do not realize how fortunate we are to have freedom. We take for granted what people in other countries would undoubtedly do anything for. Freedom is the ability to do basically anything we want, at any time we want, without having to have someone constantly hovering over us, to make sure we are doing what we are supposed to be doing, nothing more or less. We can go to bed when we want, get up when we want, go where we want, eat what we want and work where we want. I am proud to be an American. I am an American by nature. I have traveled to different parts of the United States in my life. There are some states that are beautiful and some that are not so beautiful, but one thing is for sure, America is most beautiful, it is America the Beautiful. Here in Rappahannock County, every Fourth of July we celebrate Independence Day! This is the time people should get out and express appreciation for being free, being an American. Coming out to help celebrate and show our respect to those who died fighting for America, to keep the flag of freedom flying high is the least we can do. If you’re proud to be an American this is the time set aside for you to come out and show your appreciation and respect to those who died fighting for your country that you might have freedom. MELODY SETTLE Amissville Not at bat, on the beach To the Editor: I was most gratified to learn from your June 25 edition that I had contributed a big hit to the weekly Soho softball contest. At the approximate time of bat, I was enjoying a mostly empty stretch of New York beach as the flaming sun sank over the distant Manhattan skyline. It seemed a perfect moment to test my powers of concentration, so I put everything I had into trying to levitate. To no avail, I thought at the time — but how wrong I was! Somehow the energetic flash I experienced made it all the way back to home plate at just the right instant. Since then I have given up on levitation to work on perfecting my tele-corporeal skills. It would be so convenient to be in two, or three, or five place at once, what with the busy life we all lead. I reckon that successful human cloning is at least 10-15 years away, and hope to perfect this new discovery well before then. IVAN USSACH Woodville Correction warranted Tb the Editor: I was pleased when I read the headline in your June 25, edition, which announced a tax reduction. My pleasure changed to dismay when reading the accompanying article. I cannot understand how you can call an increase in the Rappahannock County real estate tax rate from'73 cents to 80 cents a tax reduction. In fact, it constitutes an almost 10 percent increase. I think this warrants a correction in your paper. GERRIT M. de WIT Boston Editor’s Note: The series of stories following the county budget process correctly reported the original increase of 10 cents to start, which the supervisors reduced to a seven cent increase. This was a reduction from the original rate. Perhaps last week’s editorial head would have been clearer: Some is better than none. Attendance policy a must Tb the Editor: Several times during this past year the RCHS Attendance Policy has been discussed in these pages. Where did this policy come from, how did it go this year, what is its future? Since the early 1990’s RCHS teachers have been concerned about the drain on academic excellence caused by poor attendance. The problem is not just what happens to the individual absent student, but what happens to the standard of the whole class, which does not progress at as high a level or as rapidly. In the Spring of 1993 a faculty committee developed several proposals, which did not go forward. Subsequently statewide attention in the form of an article in the Richmond Times Dispatch focused on Rappahannock’s poor attendance. Soon a new Attendance Committee formed, consisting of parents, teachers and administrators. The committee created what became the 1996-97 attendance policy. This policy was a tripod with three parts: “attendance credit,” attendance probation, and June exam exemption. The attendance credit is the attendance grade. The attendance credit has little actual numerical effect but a large psychological effect. The attendance probation is the stick, to deal with hard core probletns. The exam exemp- i' tion was the carrot, and the guts of the policy this Spring. The exam exemption is available only for the second semester exams; there is no escape from the first semester exams — unless the school system itself cancels them, which it did twice in the last four years. Exemption from the second semester exam is possible with a “B” average and no more than three absences in that class for the semester. The committee looked for an incentive that the students really want, and they will really work for the June exam exemption. Many students earned exemptions. What does that mean? Many Rappahannock kids got good grades and attended regularly. That’s a good thing! Repeated surveys show teachers support the policy. A recent survey asked if the policy improves academics. Answer: 18 “yes,” 1 “somewhat,” 0 “no.” For more statistical analysis, the number of student course failures decreased by 36 percent over the previous year! The overall RCHS absence rate dropped from 6.8 percent to 4.7 percent, an astounding 31 percent improvement! What used to be a state-alerting embarrassment totally turned around. During the past year there have been calls from some quarters that one section of the policy is too tough. There have been calls from other quarters that another section of the policy is too lenient. Perfect! This is what we need — a balanced approach, the 4 carrot and the stick, the 1 - incentive ana the punishment. As to the future, a plan is in motion to remove the second semester exam exemption, leaving only the attendance credit and attendance probation legs of the tripod. This plan has been developed without involving the faculty or parents. Rappahannock had great results with the Committee’s Attendance Policy this year. Usually we get better results when we work together, but let’s see. Will next year’s attendance results will be as good as the Committee got this year, or will Rappahannock’s absence rate again make the Times Dispatch? The last time I wrote to the newspaper about public policy I ended up getting called on the carpet by my boss. What will happen this time, I don’t know, but I do know it is important to have an attendance policy which is effective and balanced. BRION PATTERSON Boston * EERIE ISN’T IT?

Monarchs suffer loss to Winchester By SHARON PENDLETON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer It was a miserable day for the Monarchs, Sunday, when they went to bat up against Winchester for a disappointing lost. Not only was the heat against Rappahannock, but the offense they needed was no where to be found. Rapp found themselves trailing at the end of the third inning 6-2. Knowing what needed to be done offensively, Rapp scored three runs in the fourth, to move them within one. Rapp allowed Winchester one run in the sixth and one run in the seventh, due to errors. Trying to make up for the two runs, Rapp just couldn’t get the runs needed to take the win. Stoney Frye took the lost for the Monarchs with J. Diggs, leading the Monarchs offensively with three singles, followed by L. Alexander, one double, one single; R. Harris, two singles, W. Parker, two singles, and S. Frye, one home run. Rappahannock hosts Edinburg Saturday night at Bing Crosby Stadium in Front Royal. Game time is 7 p.m. Rapp is a 6-3 for the season.

Among these are Cara, Dylan, Nathan, Ashley and Zack Corbin, all of whom entered animals. Cara, six, is entering an orange and white kitten named “Comet.” She got Comet from a friend of her mothers at a horse show last month. “We had a fun time together. I taught him things. I taught him how to drink from a bottle and taught him how to go upstairs,” she explained. Her older brother, Dylan, nine, will be showing two hogs, ‘Elmer Fud and Orlando’ along with a lamb named ‘Fuzzy.’ “I’m really excited. It’s kind of hard. I’ve started getting use to my lamb but my pigs are a little frisky. They bite my shoes!” he exclaimed. Eleven-year-old Nathan has been showing animals since age nine. This year he is entering two sheep named ‘Bill’ and ‘Ted.’ Right now Nathan says he feels “tense because I wanna win and don’t want to loose.” Ashley thinks differently though and considers having fun more important than winning. This year, at 13, she intends to show her horse and two market lambs. Last year she entered two animals, one a market hog which won Junior Champion. The Corbin’s say their mother and older siblings sparked their interested in farm shows. “My mom told me about it and I thought they would be fun,” Ashley explained. Nathan added, “I saw how much fun Zack had with the animals and it got me to thinking how much fun it would be.” Now that he is in 4-H and participating in the farm ! shows himself he sees just how much fun it truly is. “It’s a ; place for kids who want to have fun and do things with the community,” he said. He ; most enjoyed “seeing all the other people and learning i about their animals.” “It’s fun and it’s something j to do. You meet new people and make new friends. I think it’s really neat,” Dylan added. Their mother, Diana j Corbin, feels similarly, “Four- | H is an adventure. They meetnew people, they learn new things, it’s just a fun organization.” The family feels, however that more than fun is involved i in farm shows. They also foster responsibility. Nathan said, “It gets you ready for the future. It makes you responsible because you have to take care of your ani- ’ mals.” Ashley has learned other* things as well adding that, “It’s! taught me how to get along’ with people.” Ashley also feels 4-H has increased her interest in animals which she now hopes to turn into a career. Nathan also hopes to use his farm show skills in the future. He has dreams ofsomeday owning a farm and-; says that, “I’d do all the things. I do now to improve my farm.”1 How does their mother feel? “I think it’s a big accom* ■ plishment for them. There’s a lot of teamwork involved,”. Diana concluded, explaining, that the five must work' together to successfully raise’ their animals.

The longest day of the year began with a glow I am up and out at dawn to watch the sun rise over the tops of the trees on June 21, the longest day of the year. The Washington Post announces sunrise at 5:43 a.m. For me, it’s minutes later because of tall trees to the east; through these I see the glowing orange ball that makes all life possible on this planet earth. The dawn chorus of robins is astonishing as five or six try to out-sing each other on this new day. Each is proclaiming his right to all earthworms on lawns within his chosen territory. “Stay out,” each carols to all others. It’s as if each male is announcing: “Anything you can sing, I can sing louder and better!” Later: I am now in my little study writing this and see a female robin gathering long yellow grasses for a nest. She is just under my window. I wonder what happened to her first nest. Did young fledge and are already out in the world looking for earthworms? I doubt it; I have seen no speckle-breasted robins in the yard. Maybe the nest was robbed by a grackle whose yellow eyes spotted the blue eggs and made a meal of them. Two days ago a sharply scolding robin chased a grackle across the back yard. So the robin must start over and build a new nest in the old territory. Refurbishing an old nest won’t do; it has been discovered by a predator. The predator could have been the three-foot black snake I saw stretched out in the driveway three days ago. He was taking the sun to warm his long, sleek body. At my approach the snake flicked out its tongue and detected my presence. His reptilian brain All Things Wild And Wonderful By John Trott The Virginia Naturalist told him to seek protection which he did by crawling under the tool shed. There was no mad dash for safety. It was a leisurely and grateful retreat. It occurs to me that I reap great harvest in the small field of my Flint Hill home. By getting my carcass out of bed early I witness dramatic events and hear splendid bird music. Besides the singing robins, I hear the soothing hoots of Mourning Doves. They sing only at the beginning of the day now. Yesterday, a male was chasing a female with amorous intent. The iridescent feathers on his neck were erect and he bobbed his head as he followed her around the yard. She seemed decidedly uninterested. But then, I wouldn’t know what is in the small head of a female dove. Maybe she is just being coy. Grackles have young out of the nest now and the air is full of their squeaky, rasping calls. How demanding and insistent are these new young! They are as big as their parents but lack the iridescence and baleful yellow eyes. I watched a fledging grackle on the platform bird feeder for a time yesterday. He picked up bits of cracked corn for himself until a parent landed nearby. Then he became a quivering, seemingly helpless individual as he fluttered his wings and begged for food with clacking food calls. On this morning, the first day of summer, an adult lands in the driveway and is immediately joined by two great fledgings, trembling and begging for food. The young are insistent and persistent; they sound piteous. Adults seem unable to ignore their cries for food. Thus has nature provided for the continuation of grackle life. Past experience tells me that later the adults will be vicious and unrelenting in driving away the young that will then be perceived as competitors for food. When the young can feed themselves, the grackles will form large flocks and roam the countryside until time for them to move south. I can’t say I will miss the grackles; I am tired of their aggressive numbers. For now, however, the back yard is filled with the food calls of young grackles which their parents seem unable to satisfy. A pair of Cardinals has had unusual success in fledging three young. Two is considered a high level of reproduction. I did not find the nest; no doubt it was in the honeysuckle tangle behind this property. The three adolescents resemble the female except for their dark-colored bills and wispy crests. They hang Library From Page A1 The treasurer’s report looked at the year end summary for the budget. It was decided that more funds should be allocated for maintenance and equipment repair since there is more equipment at the library now and since the building is getting older and maintenance issues will keep arising due to that fact. The 1996-97 year end budget was 93,729 and did not reflect the endowment funds as the figures on those will not be available for several months. Income through June 25, is $94,202.53 and expenditures, $92,955.91, leaving a cash balance of $1,246.62. Franklin Warner, chair of the Building and Grounds Committee, reported that the Virginia Department of Transportation put in a steel culvert with collars and it should do very well as far as weight is concerned. He also reported that they are waiting to put down the gravel for edging the driveway to let it settle and that will be- done probably in August. The committee will also look at the issue of handicapped parking for the library and how to improve it. County Administrator John McCarthy reported that Peter Kramer has agreed to design the podium for the library’s multipurpose room and will supply the work as a donation to the library. The library will supply the materials needed. He will submit several designs to the board. The five year plan is under revision but the idea for a Book mobile is out since Rappahannock is not eligible based on population. Mr. Shaffer also said it is cost-prohibitive, over $50,000. The program is being phased out around the state. The disaster plan is pending and all are working toward the book sale. Excess surplus from the basement will be removed next month to make necessary space for shelves for books which the Friends are providing. Peter Kreyling and Robin Purnell helped place the paintings now on display in the library, which is a semipermanent display. The Garden Club agreed to take on the task of keeping up the flower garden. The children, who had previously tended it, won an award from the State Federation of Garden Clubs for their excellent work. _Everyone Can Shop Co-op fcoop Summer Sizzlin Paint^^' July 3rd - July 19th S ALE" A-BRATION Savings To Celebrate On Sampson Paints & Coatings Sampson Supreme Exterior Latex Gloss House Paint Our Best Latex Gloss House Paint Gallon Alcatraz Asphalt Fence Paint $1495 5Gallon ($2.99/Gallon in 5's) Sampson Homeaard Exterior Gloss Oil Base House Paint Our Best Exterior Oil Base Gloss House Paint Alcatraz Plastic Roof Cement Town & Country Exterior Latex ^ Fence and Barn Paint ■~rW, 5 Gallon Pail ($8.39/Gallon In 5to) Sampson Weather* brite Latex Roof Paint $0095 5 Gallon Pail ($16 99/Gallon m5's) Alcatraz Coal Tar Emulsion Driveway Sealer ($1.9&Gallon in 5's) Black Superior Fence And Bam Stain *26“ 5 Gallon Pail ($5.32/Gallon in 5's) See Us For All Your Painting Supplies!

When the brilliant male arrives they beg as insistently as the grackles. Their food calls are soft and plaintive. The male feeds them, one after the other. It is somewhat of a miracle that these three have grown from eggdom to this age and escaped squirrels, chipmunks, grackles, Blue Jays, and the agile, tree-climbing black snake. Cats, which I frequently see in the yard, take many newly fledged young birds. Their fine-tuned hearing detects the food calls and leads them to a meal of fledglings. A young bird just out of the nest is at its most vulnerable for the young cannot fly well and constantly call to alert the parents to their whereabouts. I have only observed the male Cardinal feeding these three. The female has already started her second nest in the lilac bush about 30 feet from the bird feeding station. The male is in charge now. He is a good and attentive father. A House Wren is incubating five eggs in the nest box on a pole near the garage. This is the same box that produced four young bluebirds last year. Is this the same wren that savaged the bluebirds’ second attempt at nesting in 1996? That wren never succeeded in attracting a female. Because of depradations when bluebirds were nesting, Lee Trott harbors animosity against all House Wrens. My suggestions that she develop a more objective, scientific attitude is ignored. The 1997 wren sings less frequently now that the female is down to the serious business of incubation. Still, his bubbly, effervescent song greets the sunrise along with robins and doves on this, the longest day of the year. It is only mid-morning and there is more to see and hear until the sun sets over the mountains at 8:37 p.m. I must go back outside.

An elderly man and his wife, who cou n ty^and^fi ad^ stoppeS^to obtain information on local history, were also in the library. The discription of the man, elderly with white hair and deeply tanned, fit the desciption given by the mother and the children. Authorities said it was reported that the man went out to his car, and it is supposed his wife remained inside. He said hello to the children and spoke to the little girl, 7, asking her to come and look at something he had in his car. They ran away from him into the library and told their mother what had happened. She reported it to the library and went outside. She report Bankrupt?!* Repossession? Bad Credit? Shaky Credit? No Credit? NO MONEY DOWN! ed to police that she saw the man sitting in his car. She and the children left the library. The library staff made a report, but it did not reach the sheriffs office until the following day. The mother , »Isp caUed th^ gfegriSCa , the next day to see ii library had reported itl " At that time the sheriffs ^office began investigating the incident. They found that the mOn did not try to flee from the library, as if he had done something wrong nor did he try to touch or grab one of the children. Whether he was trying to entice one of the children or not is unknown. Sheriff Settle and Mr. Luke said the behavior of the man is inconsistent with that of someone attempting to abduct another person. It did not seem to be a criminal type encounter. And since they were passing through it is consistent with the fact that no one who lives here seems to fit the description of the man or the car. They also urge anyone with information about the incident to contact the sheriff’s office or Mr. Luke. Anyone atyfch#.**. rary during that tfrnte *nayT “have informatioh valuable to determining what really happened. They feel it may have been an innocent mistake and not a threatening incident. The car was a dark blue four door, possibly an Oldsmobile Sierra. They checked with neighboring jurisdictions to see if any other similar incidents had been reported but none had. They also caution residents not to leave children unattended and call 911 immediately in case of an incident. They said if the incident at the library had been called in they could probably have gotten there to question the man before he left.

• Neighbors/B2 • Classifieds/B4 • Obituaries/B5 • Real Estate/B6 Wild times in Amissville By JAN LAVALLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer It looks like beef. It tastes like beef. But, it’s not beef. It has 25 percent less calories and a third of the fat of beef. It also has just as much iron and protein. And it tastes great! What is it? It’s ostrich meat and it’s the up and coming choice of health conscious people across the United States. It has now become readily available here, and some residents are already taking advantage of this, at Wild Life Farm, Inc. in Amissville. Marketed and distributed by Rappahannock Pride, and approved by the state, the meat not only outscores beef on all counts, it outscores other meat products as well. It has less fat and calories than veal, pork, turkey, chicken and lamb. It also has about as much protein, less cholesterol and more iron than any of those. Best of all, the costs are comparable to other meats. The cost differs as to the cut, just like with beef, pork or anything else, from $6.95 to $15.95 per pound. The more expensive cuts being fillet mignon, New York strip or sirloin, just like beef. Frank Dombrowski, owner of Wild Life Farm, Inc. said, “My wife, Donna, and I eat it about five nights a week. For a quarter pound burger it’s only 105 calories. We have private individuals her in the County who buy 40 to 50 pounds per week from us.” Frank said the main cost for raising ostrich is the start up l""' costs. The birds themselves at market age, which is about 12 months old, cost $160. It is also necessary to have incubators for the eggs and babies that hatch. These are high tech devices that are as large as walk in freezers and which are kept in a special room which is environmentally sensitive. They run about $12,000 a piece. It’s also a must to have back-up generators for them. And ostrich are more difficult to handle than emus or rheas, which have also become popular in the last decade. When you consider an ostrich at market weight is 275-300 pounds as compared to an emu at 90, it becomes clear that they may be more difficult to raise. In fact, an ostrich can kill a grown man easily, Frank admits. They have an extremely strong kick and a claw on the back of their foot which they rip with. They were used as models for the velociraptors in recent popular movies. Frank, however, is well qualified to deal with what they dish out. He began with a degree in animal sciences from the University of Maryland and has worked for the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., the Buffalo Zoo in New York and Aquarama in North Carolina. He has worked with parrots and reptiles for about 20 years and also sells various types of parrots and'tortoises at his farm. While working at the National Zoo he met his wife and they were married. He wanted to move to a rural location to begin a wild life farm and they first moved to Woodbridge, which wasn’t rural enough, then Nokesville and after that Remington. From there they became familiar with Rappahannock and in 1994 moved to Amissville where they purchased 14 1/2 acres. That may not seem like a lot for a farm with the number of ostrich he has, but then they don’t need as much room as cows do. In fact they need very little room and are content in small confinement areas of less than an acre. They are almost self sufficient when raised in groups in paddocks of five to 10 acres. They also live a long time, up to 80 years, and reproduce at two and four years of age and continue to reproduce for 12 to 40 years after reaching full maturity. Each hen will generally lay 20 to 60 eggs annually. Frank now has just over 100 babies and says he’ll probably have 500 to 600 this year. For now, he supports his farm by selling parrots — Macaws, Cockatoos, and African Grays; and tortoises — leopard, spur thighed and others; along with fish, Afncai} cichlids, and even bonsai trees. The parrots, which Frank has been selling for 20 years, are hand raised to reduce the numbers taken from the wild. Parrots which are hand raised are docile. They are taken as eggs and hatched in the incubator, then hand fed until they’re old enough to eat on their own, at about 12 weeks. They must be fed every hour for about two weeks at which time they go to feedings every two hours and can sleep through the night. At six to seven weeks they can go to their new home but are still hand fed, which Frank says is not a problem for most people. Frank has help this summer in the form of Mike Mills, who is a zoo keeper trainee Frank says. He’ll be working with the animals and learning about how to care for them. Although selling the parrots is keeping things afloat now for Wild Life Farm, Inc. Frank hopes the interest in ostrich products will take off. He’s also sent information to area restaurants about ostrich and how it can be incorporated into their menus. He recently did a big party for the Welcome to Washington (DC) Gourmet Group where the recipes he used were well received. He hopes to get local restaurants to do an ostrich only night where all parts of the dinner will utilize ostrich products. “Unlike cows, ostrich lay eggs, which can be used for desserts and other recipes,” he said. “You could have appetizer, main course and dessert.” For more information about the farm or Rappahannock Pride products call Frank at 937-3480. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/JAN LAV ALLEY EGG-PERIENCE: Potential baby ostrich await hatching time in their eggs which are kept warm and safe in the state-of-the-art incubator which run about $12,000 a piece. VATCH OUT: Frank takes a chance and gets a bite. GREETINGS: Charlie says hi! WHO ARE YOU: The ostrich are suspicious of visitors who come to near their area. By THAD HUMPHRIES Rappahannock News Contributing Writer This is Part II of a two-part '.story about what freedom really means to all of us. I blinked, trying to adjust my eyes to the light that came from a * few small candles and the louvered 1 widows high on the wall. The room ; was about twenty by forty feet, with dark walls, and a dark, shining wooden floor. Along one of the . shorter walls there was a long, low chest of simple Yi Dynasty design with dull brass fixtures and Chinese markings on its many drawers. Incense burned from two ' small urns on top of the chest and above them, on the wall, hung three . large painting of Korean monks. Our host asked us to sit and * motioned toward the floor before the cabinet. The young man pointed out my place, and I knelt as my college kendo instructor once taught me. The man sat next to me and his wife sat behind us. The old monk knelt next to the cabinet and pulled open a drawer. From the drawer he carefully brought our a . scroll and placed it on the floor before us, reverently rolling it out some four feet. He repeated this action twice, revealing to us three scrolls of Chinese calligraphy, each obviously of some age. When he finished spreading the scrolls, he squared his Bhould be and began speaking slowly. The young man translated as best he could and f followed with wrapped attention. “Our hermitage was founded in 1607 of the Christian era by Samyongdang, a hero in the struggle against the Japenese during the Hideyoshi invasion.” The monk pointed to the center painting on the wall. “These are some of his writings,* he said as we swept his hand over the first scroll. Wow, I thought, almost four hundred years old. “He was followed by — who was then succeeded by —. These are some of their writings.* My interpreter could not keep up very well, nor did I understand all the names or fix on all the dates. I was too puzzled by this lecture and too startled by the age of the rice paper scrolls that lay before me. I stared at them hard, trying to see the centuries in their creases. He continued, his voice earnest: “In the last century, the Japanese returned to our country, they stayed many years and did many terrible things to our people. Many were killed." I recalled the nation’s history: The Japanese attempted a coup in 1884 when they kidnapped the Korean king. In 1885 they tried again, this time killing the queen. Eventually, after years of diplomatic maneuvering, espionage, and war, they annexed the peninsula in 2 1910. It was a cruel occupation. The Japanese did to the Koreans what Hitler would later do the Poles and Ukrainians. On tours of ' ' .. . - ■* » . > Vi palaces and temples in Seoul, guides are careful to point out the depredations of their Japanese occupiers. Many palace buildings bear signs saying they were rebuilt • following the Japanese departure. . Some even say they were rebuilt in the early 17th century, after the Hideyoski invasion of Korea of the late 1590s, when Samyongdang had led his militant monks. The Koreans have little love for the Japanese. The monk continued, low and fast: “They came to our temple and desecrated it. They broke open the stupas of our founders and urinated in them. They cast their ashes into the stream which they also defiled. They burned our temple and killed many of our monks. Some were taken away as slaves. They forbade our language, tried to destroy us as a people. These writings were only saved by brave monks who took them into, the mountains and hid them there for many years. The monk paused, and looked down sadly. It was a sad story, I thought, and one repeated many places throughout the peninsula. As we sat quietly, J thought of the An Chung-gun museum in Seoul. In 1909, just before the final blow of annexation, An Chung-gun killed Japan’s first Resident-General to Korea as he stood on a train station platform in Manchuria with several foreign diplomats. The contemporary western press branded him a terrorist, but to the Koreans An Chung-gun was and is a patriot. Small wonder. I looked at our host, trying again to guess his age. My guide book said the desecration of Samyongdang’s stupa had occurred in 2940. I tried to picture this old ' -r - . <T ... . . , J monk as a boy or young man, relics clutched under his robes, fleeing into the mountains. How much of this had he seen? How much history was in this man? And why tell it to me, a foreigner? As if in answer, the monk looked up and fixed his eyes on me. There were tears in them but his voice was strong: “Then the Americans came! The Americans threw out the Japanese. The Americans sent allthe Japanese away and allowed tie to rebuild our fe temple and our stupas. We p retrieved them scrolls from their hiding places. New monks came and joined us. Thanks to the Americans, our temple was reborn and thrived. “Then the communists came and we again feared for our lives. But the Americans came again and threw out the Communists just as they had done the Japanese. The Americans fought with Korean soldiers and cast off the invaders. The Americans have helped protect us. The Americans have brought our country freedom and allowed us to prosper.” The old man rose, tears now Streaming from his face. As I stood up, he stepped towards men with outstretched arms and for a moment held me with a strength 1 scarce thought possible. He looked at me again. His words sounded choked, as did the voice of the interpreter: “I want to thank you. I want to thank all Americans for what they have done for Korea. America is a beautiful country.” There were now tears in my eyes, too. Now I understood why I had been invited into this temple, why I had been shown these relics. This man wanted to thank some one, to thank some American for what our country had done for him and his people, for bringing them freedom and independence. I bowed in acceptance and, with all sincerity, thanked him for his words. We bowed together one last time and I departed. Mr, Carrigan sits down now. The minister gives a short prayer and we rise and sing The Star Spangled Banner. A sudden whooirit ripples from the edge of the lake and overhead a glorious starburst erupts to the accompaniment of a loud crack. Fireworks over Namsan Mountain in Seoul every August 15th celebrate Korea’s liberation from Japan. I do not know if the old monk, tucked up there in his little mountain valley, ever had the chance to tell his story to an American before. But somehow, I do not think the fervor of his voice would diminish with repetition. Historically, intellectually, I have always understood that the significance of our independence day resonates far beyond our own borders. Now, thanks to rfh old monk who never gave his name, I know, in my heart what American independence means to the free and freedom loving peoples or our world. I have felt proud to be an American many times: the day my parents pinned my new lieutenant’s bars on men, the day I got my army master parachutist wings, the day our jets opened the battle to liberate Kuwait, the day our soldiers restored Haiti to its people. But I do not think I can ever be prouder of being an American than I did in Korea that October day in 1985, in that small Buddhist temple.

Wet your whistle with summer drinks Summer arrived with a bang and everyone is searching for something to satisfy their thirst. We all know that only water will truly do that, however, there are many summer drinks that are wonder- ^ fill, delicious, and very thirst quenching. There are as many ways to use and serve beverages, as there are recipes. With the temperatures soaring well into the 90’s, a pitcher of lemonade is a real thirst quencher. A lemonade base is preat for those quick drinks, just make it ahead, add water and ice and you are ready for those unexpected guests. . Lemonade is definitely a drink that each family needs to decide just how sweet they like it, as well as how much of a lemon taste they desire. Our family loves the lemon taste and very tart, therefore, the following recipe may need to be adjusted for your enjoyment. Make ahead lemonade base ’ 2 1/2 cups water 1 1/4 cups sugar 1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel 1 1/4 cups lemon juice Cold water Ice 1 lemon, thinly sliced In a medium saucepan heat and stir water and sugar over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and cool 20 minutes. Add lemon peel and juice to sugar syrup. Pour into a covered jar and refrigerate. Base can be stored in the refrigerator up to three days. Recipe Corner to By Barbara Wayland For each serving, pour 1/2 cup base into a glass. Stir in 1/2 cup water. Fill the glass with ice and garnish with a lemon slice. Makes ten 8ounce servings. A simple lemonade recipe is to use two lemons with desired amount of sugar and two quarts of water. Many families enjoy ice tea. In todays world, Sun Tea is a favorite beverage. It sure is simple, I always use four family size tea bags to one gallon of water, set in the sun early a.m. and the tea is ready later in the afternoon. If you prefer tea that’s a bit weaker, three tea bags will suffice. Many summertime drinks are made with frozen fruit and frozen concentrate mixes. I have tried a raspberry drink that is extremely thirst quenching and children love it. Fresh raspberries floating on top will add to the beauty, as well as the taste. Raspberry sparkler 1 ten-ounce package frozen raspberries, thawed 1 six-ounce can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed 1 one-liter bottle lemonlime carbonated beverage Lemon slices In a covered blender container or food processor bowl, process raspberries until smooth. Strain, discard seeds. In a pitcher combine raspberries, lemonade concentrate and one cup water, chill. To serve, combine raspberry mixture with carbonated beverage. Serve over ice. Garnish with lemon slices or fresh raspberries, if available. Makes eight 8-ounce servings. If you are planning a party, beverages are a must, and with the summer season upon us, plan on extra servings for all guests. Punches can be kept cold by floating ice rings in the serving bowls. Just fill any ring mold with water and freeze until firm. You can also use a fruit filled ring, lining the bottom of the mold with berries, orange or lemon slices or any other fruit your family enjoys. Add enough water to cover the fruit, freeze until firm. Use as necessary for that extra touch to your favorite punch. ' Sandra Jenkins of Flint Hill provided the following two recipes for summer drinks that her family enjoys. In the first recipe Sandra said she had changed the recipe a bit from the original one she had received from a friend to suit her taste. She uses less sugar than the original one and also has used sugar- free jello in the punch and it’s just as good. The recipe called for four cups of sugar but Sandra only uses two cups. Sandra said the second recipe makes a wonderful summertime drink. Versatile fruit punch 2 cups sugar 2 three ounce packages of jello 2 quarts (8 cups) boiling water 1 large Ginger-ale or Sprite 1 46 ounce can pineapple juice 1 46 ounce can orange juice 1 46 ounce can pineappleorange juice Mix sugar and jello, add boiling water and dissolve, when cool, add fruit juices and put in freezer in containers to freeze to icy-mush. To each 2-3 quarts of above, add one quart of Ginger-ale or Sprite depending on taste. Makes about 2 1/2 gallons, enough to serve about 50-75 people. Jello for colors Strawberry - pink Cherry - red Lemon - yellow Orange - orange Lime - green Peach - gold Fruit punch Juice 9 oranges Juice 6 lemons 1 cup crushed pineapple 1 1/2 cups tea 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 cup water 1 quart Ginger-ale Maraschino cherries Make a syrup of sugar and water, add fruit juices, tea, crushed fruit and last the Ginger-ale. Makes about one gallon, depending on size of oranges and lemons. NSDAR members enjoy workshop By LOUISA T. GROGAN Rappahannock New Contributing Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, was hostess to the Chapters in District VI of the Virginia DAR on Saturday, May 31, at the Holiday Inn in Culpeper for a workshop on Genealogy. There were 123 members and guests from twenty of the twenty-two chapters in the District present. Guests included the Virginia Regent Mrs. Stephen Hunter, the Vice-Regent Ms. Mary Jane Davis, the State Librarian Ms. Marion Perlot, State Lineage Research Chairman Ms. Cherie Linko, and State Genealogical Records Chairman Ms. Susan Leigh. District VI Director, Mrs. Dale J. Metzinger of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, hosted the meeting. The first speaker of the morning was Eric G. Grunset, Library Director for the DAR Library in Washington, D.C. and presently Vice President of the National Genealogical Society.

The three main libraries in Washington — the DAR one, the National Archives and the Library of Congress all have different things but complement each other. Mrs. Metzinger then introduced Ms. Barbara Vines Little who spoke on “Chancery and Court Records.” She is a professional genealogist and lecturer specializing in Virginia record sources. Among other jobs, she edits the “Magazine of Virginia Genealogy,” has published three volumes of Virginia Court Records, is an adjunct faculty member of Germanna Community College and a high school English teacher. The Chancery records are the Genealogist’s best kept secret and are very fragile but full of vital information. Mr. Clifford Sayre who is Vice Chairman of the Genealogy Club of Montgomery County Historical Society spoke on “Sources of Genealogical Help and How to Manage Data.” He spoke largely on managing data on computers. He stressed the three “R’s”: 1) record keeping — who did what to whom, when and where; 2) research and analysis; 3) reporting — this is most important because, unless it is passed on, the information about families is gone. There were many books and genealogical forms available, supplied by Ms. Nettie Schreiner-Yantis, author, publisher and vendor of Genealogical materials. iBEKDEENRARN Located in the Holiday Inn; Rt. 29 South, Culpeper 825-1037 ABERDEEN , BARNS ; Wednesday Night Prime Rib Thursday Night Steak Dinner Special New York Strip, Salad, ^tvj A nr Potato & Onion Rings cj)xU#y^ VALLEY HEALTH LINE 722-1842 1-800-813-1390 Introducing Valley Health Line - Valley Health System's comprehensive resource for health information.
