121st Year ... No. 27 Phone (540)675-3338 WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1998 Times Community Newspapers 50 cents Fundraiser planned for Tohnny Jenkins By Cindy Mahan Rappahannock News Contributing Writer When Johnny Jenkins was boiv on March 5, 1993, doctors didn’t believe he would live through the night, but somehow determined to live, and despite three strokes he had suffered as a fetus, he survived. Each stroke inflicted neurological damage which now confines him to a wheelchair. “The birth of your child is supposed to be the happiest moment of your life but for me it was a nightmare, “said his dad, John Jenkins of Sperryville. He and his wife, Michelle, were devastated when told by the doctors that their newborn son was missing his right arm, and had only a thumb and two fingers oh his left hand. Johnny also suffers from Microcephaly (a condition in which the head or cranial capacity is abnormally small), cerebral palsy, Danny Walker syndrome, and must be fed through a feeding tube for 10 hours each night in Photo courtesy of John Jenkins AGAINST ALL ODDS: Johnny Jenkins, son of John and Michelle Jenkins of Sperryville. An effort is being made to raise funds to help the family purchase a van. order to keep his weight up. The Jenkins have spent countless days and hours providing for their son, taking him to the doctor’s office and hospitals so often that Michelle feels the hospital is their second home. “We have to be strong for him,” said John Jenkins, adding that they of course have had a difficult time dealing with Johnny’s disabilities. “He is a true warrior. God put him here for a reason and he has overcome everything that has been put in front of him,” hie added. “We feel lucky that God chose us to be Johnny’s parents. We don’t have much money but we do have a lot of love. Johnny has shown us what true love is all about,” said Michelle. Johnny, she explains, is no where near normal, but no one is perfect and we all have some type of handicap. He responds to many kinds of stimuli with his big smile, especially music and sounds. When he enters Rappahannock County Elementary School as a fulltime student this fall, he will have a one-on-one-aide. For the past two years he has been attending part-time in the preschool program. Project Rainbow is now asking the community to help the Jenkins buy a van that will easily carry Johnny’s wheelchair, which does not fold up and will not fit into their Chevy Cavalier, It has become impossible for the family of four to travel in their car. A wheelchair van is not necessary, they just need a mini van, used is fine, in which to fit the wheelchair.

VDOT may use the site for its new maintenance facility in the county. The Andersons had many questions about VDOT’s use of the facili ty — where the areas for salt, a salt pond, tar and fuel would be located and would there be a problem with seepage from any of those things into the Covington River or on to their property. They also said they were not aware that the county was planning to sell the site to VDOT for such a facility. County Administrator John McCarthy showed the Andersons paperwork that had been sent to their attorney by the county, better than three months prior to the sale, See BOARD, Page A6 Will Amissville lose its post office? By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer Bob Lindquist, committee member of the Amissville Community Preservation Committee, spoke Monday to the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors concerning the possible construction of a new post office in the Amissville area. Late last year concerned citizens in Amissville formed the committee to respond to the possibility that the United States Postal Service was going to close the post office at Amissville and open a regional post office at Clevenger’s Corner in Culpeper. The group obtained 196 signatures on petitions opposing the USPS action and, with the support of the board, managed to get the negotiations going again with USPS to find a suitable property in Amissville for the new post office. USPS real estate specialist Clayton Redmon met with more than 50 members of the See POST OFFICE, Page A6 Countryside Farm Market serves locals and commuters By Galen C. McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer Tb Kathy Holster, opening her Countryside Farm Market beside the Amissville Mayhugh’s Store on U.S. 211 was fulfilling her life’s dream. Surrounded by the bright colors and heady scents of fresh flowers, potted herbs, and right-off-the-farm produce, Holster glows with enthusiasm. “I used to do this during summers in McLean when I was in college," she explained. “I started out with one bag of corn and a box of tomatoes. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do since. The time was right for me to get back into it." Holster and her husband Dan set up the small tent-covered stand a few weeks ago to cater to the local and commuter trade. “The response has been wonderful," said Holster. “People are here right at 9 a.m. on Saturday mornings. Some of them come back every day," to check out the different varieties of fruits and vegetables she brings every morning direct from local farms and farmers markets in Winchester and Berryville. “I won’t buy something if it doesn’t look good. This is all perishable product. It’s got to look better than what is available in grocery stores.” Holster plans to expand the stock she carries to provide an outlet for local producers of specialty food items. “Every weekend, I try to do a little more,” she said. “I’m learning what customers like and I want to keep the business growing.” She has already added honey, jellies, salad dressings, barbecue sauces, pickles and potted herbs to her edible inventory, as well as Spyder Mountain smoked trout. Next on her list are fresh pies, ostrich meat products and eggs. Through the summer and fall, she will also sell bedding and hanging plants, then pumpkins and gourds for Halloween. The market is open every Friday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Rappahannock Nears Staff Photo/Galen McBride FRESH TO GO: From left, Kathy Holster with customer DeEtta Axelson at the Countryside Farm Market in Amissville.

The Wood Thrush: Its music calms the spirit The song of the wood thrush is the most beautiful bird sound to be heard in eastern woods. The bird’s serene, measured and unhurried notes float down from summer woods. They come from nowhere and everywhere. The bird sings in the half-light of dawn but most often at the end of the day when shadows are long and light is fading. How many times have I stood — stopped in my tracks — and listened to this most beautiful of bird music? For me, it breaths contentment. President Theodore Roosevelt once wrote that trying to describe the Grand Canyon bankrupted the English language. The tranquil notes of this thrush have defied many writer’s ability to find words to describe the sound. All Things Wild And [ Wonderful John Trott Maybe the word’s don’t exist. Ornithologist, Thomas Gilliard of the American Museum of Natural History, wrote the following for a 1994 National Geographic book: “The wood thrush transforms the woodlands with a melody of great beauty and power. Serene, suggestive of bells and flutes, the song consists of a series of varied phrases broken by rather long pauses.” My favorite is simple, it consists of only five words: “.... like old silver lightly dropped.” These words appear in “An Almanac for Moderns;” a collection of nature essays by Donald Culross Peattie. When Lee Trott and I lived in log house on 13 wooded acres in McLean, we often heard six different thrushes singing at the end of a hot summer day. There was a slight variation among songs, enough for us to discern the difference. We would sit on the porch and listen, breathing in the serenity of the songs. Now those woods are gone; only a few of the trees remain to shade $12 million dollar houses. The sale and development of the land was beyond my control. We only rented the house for 21 years; the summer song of the thrushes were a bonus. Now they are stilled. The destruction of the forest and building of the houses took only a year. When the wood thrushes returned in April, they met uprooted trees, raw roots, bare soil, great machines and a swarm of workmen. It was on those acres that I studied the russet cousin of the larger, robust American robin. I constructed a tiny 12 inch, shallow pool a few yards from a dining room window; water slowly dripped from a hose high in a dogwood tree that shaded and sheltered the pool. A burlap-covered blind hid me from the gentle doink, doink of slowly dripping water. That sound drew the birds wanting a drink, a bath or just a long, lingering look at the water from an overhanging fern frond. Birds Large grant made to public schools By Linda Tarry Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation, is happy to announce the receipt of a large grant for continuing improvement in the schools. Over the next three years the Greve Foundation will invest $200,000 through Headwaters, mainly supporting staff training and system-wide communication in the first year. As is true for all Headwaters programs, these funds are not intended in any way to substitute for taxpayer support for the public schools. They will provide the means to go beyond what can be expected from county funds. Last summer when board members were searching for contributors to support the fledgling organization, they approached John Kiser, a part-time resident of Slate Mills. After doing some research on his own, Kiser in turn challenged Headwaters. He said he would petition the Greve Foundation for a grant if they could fashion a broad plan with the schools, based on serious brainstorming by designated group. At Kiser’s suggestion, a council was put together to do just that and to draw up a proposal. Each school sent three teacher representatives to the council, which also included both school principals, assistant superintendent Mary Anne Biggs, and Lois Manookian from the Headwaters Board. Their proposal was to cover a three year period, and not include any construction, “bricks and mortar.” Each plan that would cost FISHNET '98 JULY 8-11 Front Royal, VA 3 days & 4 nights of concerts, worship & praise, teaching, fellowship & camping! /Yoynu// Inclmlcs: Petra Cindy Morgan Ric Blair & Band Peter Marshall Winkie Pratney Spirit Bound Cornerstone Great Change Dr. Donald Meyer John Deal Children's Sessions Teen Sessions Plus Others!

Any plan must be system-wide, not for any particular class or grade. Among many things, the council decided to examine what is now known as the Effective Schools Research, and to use it as a frame of reference. Specific plans include sending staff members to training, brightening trainers into the schools, and hiring a part-time coordinator to support staff training and communication. The council will continue as an elected school council which will oversee the program. A separate committee within Headwaters will also have an oversight as Greve Foundation funds are spent. Non cost items, besides the continuing council, include a commitment by the school system to relieve stress on teachers and to provide strong inservice training programs for staff, not canceling them for the snow make up days. In future years plans call for implementing curriculum improvements and expanding summer and after school programs that “teach core sub jects as well as provide fun, sports, and unusual learning opportunities.” On June 17 the final proposal was approved by both the Headwaters Board and the Greve Foundation. On June 21 a group of people left for the Effective Schools Conference in Myrtle Beach, S.C., to learn how the research can be applied to our own school, system. Most of those attending the conference were teachers. In addition, superintendent David Gangel, assistant superintendent Mary Anne Biggs, the Wakefield District School Board member Rosa Crocker, and Dave Gillis who as a Headwaters Board member will be replacing Lois Manookian on the school council, also attended. Raye Tupper, who has been involved with the council from the beginning, said the entire enterprise has been “a real challenge, but we have seen it as a wonderful opportunity.” Of the Myrtle Beach conference she said, “We have been to the mountaintop. Now the challenge is to see how it applies in our situation.” She said the important message is that in effective DUCHESSE Closeout Salel Everything Reduced 15/20 to 50% OFF! < Starting July 11 through August 22 &) 23 (Shop closed July 25 26) Open: Saturday &) Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 15.3 miles from Warrenton on US 211 (540) 937-5786 (s) • (540) 937-4675 (h) Flint Hill Firemans Carnival & Parade Come Out.

Carnival grounds schools all children learn, not just those educational or financial advantages. Attendees at the conference this year will be leaders “as we head down this road,” she said. Gangel said, “I’m gratified and extremely pleased,” with the Greve Foundation grant. He said efforts over a period of years to work toward school improvement can be combined with the grant so that it can “dramatically benefit” the school system. He said part of school improvement is knowledge of what works, but another part is creating a climate where change can occur. Too often change is held back by fear, he said, but there has been enough focus on the process so that is no longer a large issue in the Rappahannock County schools. Manookian said even before teachers and others left the conference, she saw changes taking place that will benefit Rappahannock students. Working together on the council helped build a feeling that “good, things are already in the wind.” stared at the water as I have often looked at the ocean — transfixed. For many hours I sat happy and tense in the blind behind a tripod supporting a camera with telephoto lens. The lens drew the birds so close they filled the view finder. There were electronic flashes connected to the camera by cords; more light was essential as shade was dense under the dogwood tree. It was late in September and well into October that wood thrushes came to the pool. Suddenly they were there. Rarely did I see them approach in great springing hops over the wood’s floor. They drank and bathed and fought with each other for time in the water. The wood thrushes that paused at my shallow pool were on their way to spend the winter in Mexico and Central America. One day the woods were full of brown birds. The next day they were gone. At dusk they mounted to the sky and flew to the tropical forests, now disappearing. During our winter, the wood thrush silently searched for insects in the leaf litter of the floor of the rich and diverse tropical forests. In April, the birds returned, appearing as mysteriously as they departed. It is after a week or so of silence that the birds begin to embellish the woods with calm bell-like notes. The male announced himself to returning females; he told her of the big trees sheltering the smaller ones — dogwoods, viburnums and redbud — that she preferred for her robin-like, mud nest. The song announced a forest floor in which spiders, caterpillars, millipedes, and earthworms hide. It only takes a bit of leaf tossing, he said to the female, to uncover the delicacies. The song of the wood thrush also warned others of his kind to stay out of his bit of swampy woodland. “This is for me and my mate,” he sang, “And for the speckled young that will hatch from the blue eggs she will lay.” lb my ears, the song was all calm and tranquility; to another wood thrush it was a statement of imminent battle should he trespass. “Stay out” he said. A sharp, unmusical pit, pit, pit told me of an intruder in the thrush territory — a predatoi or another male thrush. I often heard that alarm as I set up a blind to photograph nest life of the wood thrush. Wondrous activities were seen and occasionally photographed when the scolding stopped and the bird again dropped his lovely notes into the summer woods Go to a wood with a stream and big trees and listen for the thrush at the end of the summer day. Go quickly. Go soon. The wood thrush population in Virginia has diminished by 71 percent since 1985. We are loosing this singer at a rapid rate due to loss of winter habitat in the tropics, increased mortality during long, over-water migratory flights and destruction of nesting habitat. A few acres of swampy woods won’t suffice for the wood thrush. Through forest fragmentation in North America, predators — grackles, jays, crows, raccoons and the para sitic cowbird — have plunged wood thrush populations to dangerous levels. Natural predators have become a menace in diminished wood lots They once benefited the speckled thrush by removing the runt, the unwary, the weak and the slow and leaving the strongest and fittest to reproduce. Populations of predators have grown as wood thrush numbers have dropped. The spot-breasted thrush can no longer escape constant predation by moving into the interior where these edge-loving predators are not so active. Woodlands large enough to give the wood thrush — and hooded and Kentucky warblers, redeyed vireos, scarlet tanagers and ovenbirds — a measure of protection no longer exist. The wood thrush and other migrants from the tropics are not successfully reproducing themselves in sufficient numbers to maintain healthy populations. Hope is diminishing that future generations Of listeners to bird music will hear the song of the wood thrush and experience the calm of spirit that descends to the listener. HOW ONE MAN'S MEDICAL MISSION TO HAITI CONFIRMED HIS FAITH IN CULPEPER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. A trip to Haiti turned into a nasty fall for Orange County resident Chris Brasted. A member of Raccoon Ford Christian Fellowship's mission to Port-au-Prince, Brasted fractured his leg in three places after taking a tumble from a stage during a skit for school children. Although in extreme pain, he knew his best chance for treatment lay back home. So he boarded a plane for the States the next day and was transported to Culpeper Memorial. "Dr. Allen explained my condition and the surgical procedure, and Dr. Peck talked to me about anesthesia. They seemed to take personal responsibility that it was done right," Brasted recalls. A plate and eight screws were required to mend the leg, but Brasted was soon able to return to work. His story shows why so many people prefer the superior, attentive medical treatment they receive at Culpeper Memorial. Even if they have to travel over a thousand miles out of their way to get it, CO UJn I.PKPKK MIMORI \l HOSPITAI Tin Skills Right Hen

The possibility of a regional post office going in at Clevenger’s Corner in Culpeper County is once again a good possibility. Jim Epstein, developer for the proposed village at Clevenger’s Corner, would no doubt love to have the post office locate there — in fact he has offered the land to them free. It would ensure a certain amount of traffic for the commercial area he has planned. A group of concerned citizens from Amissville took issue with possibly losing their post office when this matter came up months ago. There were originally six sites talked about, at a meeting in the Amissville community at that time, as being possible sites for sale and for the post office to build. That number has been reduced to about three and only one is really negotiating with the postal system according to Bob Lindquist of Amissville, who came to address the supervisors Monday about the issue. It all boils down to whether or not someone is going to be willing to sell to the post office and how soon an agreement can be reached. The post office, said Lindquist, wants to see some progress. If they don’t they may go to Clevenger’s Corner. So, the real question is how badly does Amissville want to continue to have a post office in the village and is there someone willing to negotiate a settlement with the post office — or not? Rappahannock Today 4 OE BREAKFAST LUNCH L Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Carl Ebom Monty and Marge Montague are the new owner/operators of Ben Venue Market. Marge is the sister of previous owner Dot Waller and has recently relocated to Rappahannock from California. Letters Directing change, saving what is valuable I have been following with great interest the articles on the future of Rappahannock County, the debate over the direction of future development, of how best to preserve the county’s natural beauty, and so forth. I would like to draw together various threads of thought into a general thesis. It is that Rappahannock County is unique and wonderful for what it is, its value lying in its land and people. A recent visit, when I could actually get out and walk the land, look at the mountains, talk to residents both long established and recent arrivals, has made me realize how much I cherish my • Rappahannock County heritage. Yes, there have been changes; but then, nothing can remain static. And of course some changes were needed. I realize how many more opportunities, choices economic and cultural, that exist for the present genera Opinion The Good Guys By Ben Jones Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Just after World War II, my brothers and I would catch a bus to downtown Portsmouth to watch the double feature Saturday matinee at the Virginia Theatre on High Street. Admission was fifteen cents, but we got our money’s worth. Besides a cartoon, a newsreel, a serial episode, and the previews of coming attractions, we each got a free Armed Service patch along with the popcorn. Then we watched two fulllength movies featuring the cowboy stars of the day. At the Virginia Theatre, the Durango Kid seemed to get alot of screen time. Red Ryder, Lash LaRue, Monte Hale, Hopalong Cassidy, Rex Allen and Bob Steele were also in the thick of things. But standing above them all were the creme de la creme, those two giants of the West and the silver screen, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. Autry was my favorite. He had an easy, genial way and an earnest round face.-And Smiley Burnette, his sidekick in those years, could make you laugh just looking at him. Roy Rogers seemed to me to be a bit too serious, and too flashy. The debate over who was truly King of the Cowboys, Rogers or Autry, raged among us kids with the same intensity as did that over who was stronger, Superman or Captain Marvel. I was, and still am, an Autry man. But it is a closer call now. For some years, I commuted to Burbank, Calif, for the filming of “The Dukes of Hazzard.” Not interested in living the Hollywood life, I rented a room in a working man’s motel about a block from the Warner Bros, studio and simply checked out and flew home when my scenes had been shot. One perfect spring evening I was on the motel balcony watching a classic Los Angeles sunset over the palm covered Hollywood Hills. A late model Cadillac pulled into the parking lot beneath me and a couple in their 70s got out. She was stout, with gray hair tinted blue, and a pretty face that wore a worried responsibility. The man was small and slight, dressed in a brown western suit, and he walked like a bantam. As they crossed the lot toward me I recognized Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. They went into the room directly below mine. Now, in my acting career I have met and worked with a lot of well known stars and celebrities. Folks like Grace Kelly, Paul Newman, and Orson Wellep. But the sight of Roy and Dale walking across the parking lot was a close up view of American royalty. My first thought was something like, “I oughta call all those guys who picked on me in the second grade and tell ‘em, ‘Hey man I’m out here in Hollywood living upstairs from Roy and Dale’." But I didn’t. It was quite enough just to know it. The lady who ran the motel told me that whenever Roy had an appearance in the city they would drive down from their ranch at Apple Valley and stay in the same room. Had done that for years, she said. The next morning Roy was getting coffee in the motel office. We spoke hello and talked of the weather. He struck me as the real deal, just an old cowboy who did not have a phony bone in his body. He was down to earth, unpretentious, and a straight shooter. What I had seen as a little boy was what I got as a grown man. Those two reel B-Westerns of the ‘30s and ‘40s were the morality plays for a generation of American kids. They taught us right from wrong. They taught us how to behave, how to stand up for our beliefs, how to treat others, and how corruption is always exposed and the good guys and gals ultimately prevail. Sure the world ain’t that way, pardner, but it’s our job to try and make it like that. And don’t ever quit tryin’, buckaroo. The old cowboy hung up his spurs Monday morning at the age of 86. Dale Evans survives him. And so does his contemporary, his colleague and friend Gene Autry, who is 90. They were the good guys. They always won. And so did we because they were around. Happy IVails. Ben Jones, an actor, former politician and writer, recently moved to Rappahannock and resides in Sperryville. tion of Rappahannock youth. Certainly there are far more than there were when I was growing up, and of course it is a far cry from the limited prospects that faced most members of prior generations. It is wonderful to know that Rappahannock County High School students can put on Shakespeare for their senior play and that any young person regardless of race, family background, or economic status has the chance to pursue a professionl career. It is good that Rappahannock has employers like Faith Mountain and The Inn that offer modem workplace benefits to employees, like paid leave, health insurance and pension plans. Having said that, I would like to comment on some issues raised in recent issues of the paper, that pertain to the future of the county. Everyone seems to agree that the natural beauty of county, its farms, fields and forests needs to be safe guarded. To me the thought of places like, Gid Brown Hollow covered with sub divisions and shopping malls, is a surrealistic nightmare. However, central to the preservation of this beauty is the ability of land owners to keep their land, not to have to sell to developers in order to make ends meet. A letter from R.O Bridges in the April 29, issue caught my eye with his discussion of how real estate taxes continue to soar. I was amazed to learn that Rappahannock County, with about 7,000 people, has a higher tax rate ($.83/$100) than Albermarle County with 77.000 population (.72/$100). Further research revealed that of the 15 counties with a higher tax rate all were over 10.000 in population. Ten were over 50,000, and six over 100,000. Fairfax County is close to $1 million. In contrast, the other 14 counties under 10,000 in population had tax rates ranging from .50/$ 100, the average being .58/$100, omitting Rappahannock. (The above data was taken from the Virginia Review Directory of State & Local Government Officials, 1997 edition.) The last gubernatorial election demonstrated clearly that the personal property tax is not popular or perceived as fair; many of the same arguments could be applied to the real estate tax. It may well be time for a look at a restructuring of local governments’ funding in the state. A dependence on property taxes may have worked in another era, but not in the vastly different economy and society if the 21st century. Education costs are pointed to as the reason for tax rates being high, but does that have to be so? For example, Bath County, population 5,100 spends $8,318 per pupil, according to the May 29 Highland and Bath Recorder. Yet the Bath real estate tax is a paltry .50/$ 100 (personal property ,20/$100)! I certainly do not consider myself anti-education. After all, I owe everything I am to our educational system. Nor am I one who considers courses like fine arts and computer science “frills”-quite the contrary. But I do not think it unreasonable to expect that public monies be spent wisely and efficiently, and that tax levies be fair and not burdensome. I would like to turn to some of the points raised by Ed McMahon in the May 27 issue in his address to the Sperryville Gateway Committee. I fully agree with his point that our communities are becoming too homogenized, that the distinctiveness between regions, between rural and urban, is becoming increasingly blurred. I have often said that we might get to the point where there is no use travelling anywhere; everyplace will look exactly the same. Those interested in the points raised here would find of interest The Geography of Nowhere by James Howard Kuntsler and Asphalt Nation by Jane Holtz Kaye. I highly recommend both these books on this topic. I think there is much to be said for rejecting, not change and development per se, but that sort which makes every place like every other place. Both rural and urban communities have their advantages. However, we seem to be heading toward something, a culture of sprawl, that is neither country nor city, that lacks that which both have traditionally offered. There is a loss of community, a lack of integration of workplace, living space, shopping, and recreation in the culture of suburban sprawl. At the same time farmland is shrinking, and even the very essence of the rural life comes under attack from an encroaching suburban culture that views the countryside as some sort of unsullied paradise. On the other, those coming to rural communities from this culture all too often expect the same amenities offered in a densely populated urban area. They do not see that this is not possible or desirable, or that there are unfamiliar and not always pleasant conditions to adjust to. The complaints from new arrivals from cities to rural areas over noise and smells from agricultural operations that crop up all too often in the news is an example of this. One cannot have both the culture of the shopping mall, asphalt and concrete, the Wal-Marts and fast food strips, and at the same time have the quiet peace of the countryside. It is commendable that people ion Rappahannock are addressing these issues while there is still time to save all that is valuable and beautiful in the community, finding a way to direct the inevitable change, that will not destroy it.

Peachtree pummels Greene By Galen C. McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer Giving credit where credit is due, a Rappahannock Athletic Association board member observed from the sidelines, “The two teams playing (in the championship finals) are two tremendous teams. The pitcher for Peachtree brings the ball to the plate as fast as any 12-yearold I’ve ever seen.” Buck Birckhead, from Greenwood, held a talented Greene County team to only one run in the bottom of the fourth inning. The Peachtree team won in a romp, consistently striking out Greene County batters and scoring 11 times. County 12 and Under AllStar coach Brooke Miller praised his team, calling them “very competitive with Greene County.” Centerfielder John Letsen made “spectacular diving catches,” said Miller, and Nate Welch “pitched well in the second game” against Northside. Rappahannock lost both games. In the 10 and Under tournament held in Ruckersville, the Rappahannock County All-Stars finished third overall in the tournament, losing twice to Greene County who advanced to the championship game. “We played a great tournament,” said coach Hodge Miller. “We scored a lot of runs, played very good defense and ran the bases well.” Pitcher Alex Sharp led his team to a 22-1 victory against Madison County. Jacob Dodson also pitched a great Old Rag Pony Club Gymkana this weekend The Old Rag Mountain Pony Club will hold a Gymkana, games on horseback, to benefit the club.

The team placed third out of six teams. “I appreciate the effort, determination and skill shown by the players and would like to thank the parents for their time, patience and understanding over the three-day tournament,” said Hodge Miller and he thanked coaches Jeff Jenkins and David Thornhill.

Board From Page A1 which specified what the county intended to do with the land and which included a diagram, very much like the current one they are using, of the planned facility. He said the county had been “up front” about it from the beginning. The Andersons said they still had concerns about the use of the property and felt it should be further looked into. McCarthy told them that then state is charged with proper maintenance, containment and storage for anything they keep on the site and for not allowing any improper discharge. He also said they must get permits from the Department of Environmental Quality for any discharge they will have. The board voted to approve the sale of 8.13 acres, on Route 622, to VDOT for $11,000 per acre or $89,491. It includes the grant of land by the county for the purposes of road construction and of an easement for construction and maintenance of a storm water facility. Other matters for public hearing, all of which were approved by the board, were: • A request for withdrawal of 541.16 acres of land from the Krebser Agricultural and Forestal District by Alfred and Klara Kummli. The Kummlis then requested approval to place a scenic easement on the balance of the property, limiting future divisions to no more than four parcels. The Kummlis were commended for their actions by the board and many citizens present at the hearing. • The renewal of the C.E. Johnson Agricultural and Forestal District for 10 years. • Additional information added to the text of the Comprehensive Plan along with updated data on demographics and layout of the plan itself. • Amendments to the zoning chapter of the county code regarding floodplain regulations. This basically consisted of changes in the wording of parts of two sentences in the chapter. The matter of a hearing for code amendments for fire and rescue services was tabled until next month. During its afternoon session Dr. David Gangel informed the supervisors that the school board is going to shift funds within its budget to allow them to fund a finance and policy assistant. He said an assistant is desperately qeeded and they have found funds to implement the position. He said there would need to be a shift in categorical funds for next year in function II of the school budget and he will bring the figures on that shift to the board for their next meeting. The board also decided by consensus to proceed with the plan to put a referendum on the November ballot concerning instituting a meals and lodging tax for the county. The board approved a motion to allow County Attorney Peter Luke and McCarthy to proceed with a contract award, not to exceed $50,000, for the E-911 mapping project. A presentation was made to the board by Jeff Light for the upcoming Woodville Bicentennial celebration. The board adopted a resolution to endorse the event. The board approved a resolution to authorize McCarthy to sign a contract to provide optional VRS health insurance credit for former county employees who have retired. It will cost the county $2,280 per year. Under a new General Assembly requirement for community services boards (now split into three categories or types) the board elected to opt for the third type which is closest to the system now in place. The board re-appointed Holly Lanigan and Rosa Crocker to the Recreational Facilities Authority and Eugene Leggett to the Water & Sewer Authority.

They want an answer by July 15, he said. The board discussed the matter with Lindquist and said that while everyone would like to see the facility located in Amissville it comes down to someone being willing to sell the land to the USPS — something they have no control over.

• Neighbors/B2 • Obituaries/B6 • Classifieds/B4 • Real Estate/B6 July 8, 1998 Countryside Section B 'Memories aftfuz Taurtfv \ Saturday marked the 37th annual Fourth of July Celebration in Washington, Va. and it was spectacular as always, though a little damp toward the end of the day. That however did not dampen spirits. The annual Friends of the Library Book Sale went off very well this year. The musical entertainment was also well received by the crowd from the group of local singers performing favorite patriotic songs to the Alexandria Fyfes, Drums & Trumpets. The children’s bicycle parade, held at 4:30 p.m., was a big hit with its youthful, and quite colorful, participants. And kids like Brooke Thorpe, below left, enjoyed the treats available, like the snowcones. Then began the evening’s entertainment with The Blues Fuze at 4:30 p.m. William Carrigan’s hill at his home, Avon Hall, was the perfect setting, as ever, for viewing the fireworks or just relaxing. The audience sat on blankets or chairs and some picnicked while listening to various musicians perform before the fireworks display at dark. At 8:25 p.m., the Alexandria Fyfes, Drums & Trumpets, above left, paraded through town and then made its performance on the hill below Avon Hall followed by the spectacular fireworks display which lit up the night, at right. The event was sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community together with the Town of Washington. I Pockerknocker’s lights up downtown By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer “It has always been my dream to have my own shop and the timing was just correct,” said Carolyn Hallissey who made that dream a reality when she opened Pockerknocker’s Reproduction Lighting and Wares in Washington, Va. in May. Hallissey has 10 years of experience in the business, having managed the Lamplighter Shop and the Pennsylvania Furniture Store in Williamsburg. When a friend here told her that the shop, which is located in the same building as Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern, might be available she arranged a meeting with the building’s owner, Fran Eldred who liked the idea of a colonial-style lighting business, Hallissey said. That was this past December and since then things have moved pretty quickly for Hallissey. On March 21 she actually made the move. With a great deal of hard Work — moving, ordering inventory, painting (the shop is considerably lighter with its weathered-look walls) and setting up — Hallissey managed to open the business May 8. She named it Pockerknocker’s after a childhood game she played where she was a lady Carolyn Hallissey called Mrs. Pockerknocker and had a playhouse ffl wtflfch she set up shops for play. “I didn’t have any problem with ordering the inventory. It was the same thing I did before and I know the product and what to order. The biggest job was to redo the shop,” she said. “I did the floors and painted the walls with an ivory color and rubbed a lot off to give it a ‘weathered look.’ It should be in keeping with the age of the building and tavern I think.” She has also PANACHE: Lanterns and other outdoor lighting fixtures on display. employed the use of antique doors which are nailed on the walls and on which she has mounted lighting fixtures. The shop carries many unique items for purchase that would make fantastic wedding, birthday or Christmas gifts — like the exquisite crystal ornaments by Waterford or the filigree brass ornaments by Baldwin — for those people who are difficult to buy for but is primarily a lighting shop. There is tin ware (an extensive selection), wrought iron, brass and sand cast brass (made by pouring brass into a mold), glass and crystal. All outside lighting fixtures are handcrafted with a process used in Colonial times and with a skill and dedication not found in items that are massproduced. Styles include items inspired by the Georgian era, Olde English, Federal, French countryside, Early American primitive and even a White House collection (for foyer and hall lighting). “Many of the fixtures I carry would be ideal for bed and breakfasts looking to match the lighting styles to the homes they have renovated or for those looking for unusual lighting fixtures,” Hallissey said. The shop also has handcrafted redwood posts available for mounting outside lighting fixtures. The wrought iron and some of the brass and tin fixtures — along with other items such as trivets, fireplace tools — are produced by Virginia Metalcrafters in Williamsburg who continue the time-honored tradition of hand crafting each piece. She also carries Waterford crystal lamps and Baldwin brass lamps and floor lamps. A very unique item are the various styles of handsome metal and wood chandeliers by Virginia Metalcrafters which can be customized for color coordination to match the paint in your home. And if she doesn’t have it The shop is full of other interesting items which make browsing a treat for anyone such as the Waterford crystal Christmas ornaments or Baldwin brass filagree ornaments. hanging she can special order from any of the brands she carries and will even have the merchandise wrapped and shipped for her customers wanting to send their purchase as a gift. Hallissey will also work with decorators to plan the lighting concepts for homes. That is one reason she felt a move to this area was right. There are many older homes here which have been or are being renovated. The fixtures she carries are reproductions from the era in which the homes were built so a homeowner can recreate the home’s original look combined with modem safety and craftsmanship. Pockerknocker’s is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday through Monday and will open for appointments bnly on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Ethel Tyner Ethel Tyner is 103 BY WAYNE BALDWIN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On Wednesday, June 17 Mrs. Ethel Tyner nee Atkins turned 103 years of age. Still quite mentally alert, but somewhat physically diminished, she still awes visitors. Her mind is still ready with information of the past, though, perhaps not quite as quickly but her wit is still intact. I tease her of her doctor and tell her how jealous I am that she is seeing another man. Sally Keyser and myself visited her in Palmyra where she has made her home for the past couple of years with her son and daughter-in-law. There, she awaited us in her favorite colored “red” dress, her tiny figure sitting in a dimly lighted room. As we enter I turned the overhead lights on so we could all see each other better. She was alone when we arrived as her son and his wife had to go to work. They returned about an hour afterwards. We presented her with cards and gifts of food and flowers, whereupon she pointed to a vase of flowers given her by her son’s church. I told her I was afraid she was going to be persuaded to join them, and she said never, that she was an Old Baptist through and through, “I was bom an Old Baptist and I’ll die an Old Baptist.” Then she remembered and related to us a visit a week or so before from her former pastor and his wife, Elder Elmer and Sister Tessie Skeen. Holding her hand in mine for most of the two hours we visited, was for me, a treasured act, one committed to my memory, and laid up in my heart. Her plea for more frequent visits from us was saddening, but we promised to do our best and come as often as we could. Two hours seemed to be enough time spent as she grew tired and needed to lie down. She allowed us to take some pictures and said she wouldn’t mind if we put it in the “news”. We kissed her good-by and told her how much we loved her with a promise of returning again soon. She misses all her friends from Rappahannock and desires to hear from them more often.

Immediate questions usually center on one's belief in the soul and its continuity beyond mortal bounds. There might also be a ponderance of the meaning of our existence. These musings about death can have great effect upon those who allow themselves to conjure them up. As Isaac Rosenfeld once wrote: “Life being what it is in our world, the onset of death is often the first taste a man gets of freedom. At last, the imagination can come into its own, and as a man yields to it, his emotions take on a surprising depth and intensity.” We understand the many feelings that can accompany a profound loss, and we’re here to offer our hand of friendship in the process. Our experience in dealing with those facing loss shows in the welcome we offer to each person who comes to us for services. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we offer a range of services to meet the varying needs of our families. Please give us a call at 347-3431 or stop in and see us. “The dark background which death supplies brings out the tender colors of life in all their purity." ~i George Santayana Thornton Gap Church Road - 3 bedroom, 2 bath brick home with full basement, a garage, on large lot near town. $142,500 Tiger Valley Road - 2 bedroom, 2 bath home on 2 acres.
