Since opening his § mobile-Rose Hill Veterinary I Service near Massie’s Comer earlier this month, Massie has trekked from Fairfax to Strasburg, Prince William to Page counties, criss-crossing the land where he grew up and loves so well. After graduating from Virginia Tech and spending several years working at the Loudoun Veterinary Service in Purcellville, Massie and his school teacher wife Holly felt the time had come to seek out his roots and to bring their extended families closer together. Holly Massie “is a critical part of the business,* said Massie. She provides the vital link between calls, planning appointments, keeping records, and running the home base. Though the transition from an established clinic job to opening a new business has been difficult, both Massies feel it is well worth the effort. ■ i Massie also values the ^skills, advice, andnxperience of many of his clients. “Veterinary technology is very advanced,” he explained*, “but some farmers are as good'a vet as I am. One of the greatest things I have is listening ro what these guys have to say."

Larceny case solved By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer A Woodbridge woman was arrested last week in a case involving a string of larcenies in four counties, including Rappahannock. Xiomara Ortiz, 19, alias “Mimi,” was arrested in Prince William County on four felony counts — two counts of grand larceny and two counts of forcible entry and burglary. The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office has been working on the case since March of this year. Prince William, Culpeper and Fauquier counties have also been investigating the crimes. Arquimides Cintron, 23, of Dale City was arrested by Prince William County authorities in May in connection with the crimes. He has since been served warrants by Rappahannock County authorities and is also charged with four felony counts — two counts of grand larceny and two counts of forcible entry and burglary. He has a long history of such crimes and is waiting trial now in Prince William County. Cintron cooperated with' authorities in identifying and implicating the others involved in the series of crimes. On March 20 two larcenies occurred in this county on the same day — one on Route 647 in Flint Hill and one on Route 637 in Amissville. The larcenies were similar in nature to those which occurred in neighboring jurisdictions. Over $100,000, possibly as much as $150,000, of stolen property was recovered.

In 1833, when Rappahannock was created out of Culpeper County, Woodville was a thriving community situated as it was along a major route. It boasted four mercantile stores, two taverns, one school, 30 homes, one tanyard, three blacksmiths, one saddler, one boot and shoe maker, one cabinet maker, one carpenter and house joiner, one tailor, an attorney, and two physicians. During the Civil War both Union and Confederate troops were encamped in and around the town. This September will mark another mqjor event in the town’s history — its bicentennial celebration. The festival and history parade will take place in Woodville on Saturday, Sept. 26. The parade will begin at noon and the festival will continue through sundown. Set to culminate on a historic hilltop overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains, the event is designed to celebrate every aspect of the county and the heritage of all its people. All villages, civic organizations, county offices, churches, schools and groups are being challenged to participate in this historic parade. The festival will feature: reenactments; famous per Photos Courtesy of Louise Rudasil O Bannon MAIN STREETS The center street, now U.S. 522, in the Town of Woodville around 1905. sonalities; crafts and antiques; county civic information; dramatic performances; poetry and song; great foods and live music.

Citizen of the Month Jan Makela Amissville Owner/manager of Hackley’s Store along with her husband Ron and Volunteer Coordinator for the school system. Makela epitomizes the word volunteer. Aside from her job as volunteer coordinator for the Rappahannock School System, she continually commits to additional volunteer activities in the schools — far beyond what is required of her. Always there when someone needs a hand, she works with Headwaters programs and 4-H. “I’ve discovered we’re one huge network here and feed information to each other,” she said. “My father told me something I’ve never forgotten. He said “You have to go through life thinking you’re going to make this world a better place. That’s what I expect of you.’ It’s why I get involved.” She is active in her church, Amissville United Methodist as the church secretary and Sunday School teacher. She also oversees the Angel Tree for needy children at Christmas. She and her mother make food baskets at Christmas and deliver them to those in need in their community. She’s also an assistant scout leader. “It’s not so much that I am more involved or generous than anyone else. It’s just that people say ‘well you know so and so and you have contacts so would you do this?’ and it is no trouble so I do.” i £®1 ABERDEEN BARN Located in the Holiday Inn, Rt. 29 South, Culpeper ABEBDEEH , BARKS. 825-1037 Wednesday Night Prime Rib Cj J 11^^ Thursday Night New York Strip, Salad, /h -g r|f“ Potato & Onion Rings JL vf • /J Urgent, Short Noticg!

Focused on saving young lives; The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office will increase traffic law enforcement in the sixth phase of Smart, Safe and Sober, the statewide program aimed at stopping traffic deaths. Authorities will place special focus on preventing injury and death to young drivers. Area motorists can expect enforcement to step up beginning Sept. 1. Law enforcement will conduct saturation patrols, in which concentrations of officers are placed in strategic areas to be on the lookout for those with moving violations. Traffic checkpoints also will be held to check for other potential violations. There is special concern about youth drivers because of their rate of involvement in. crashes. According to the DMV, while teenagers accounted for about five percent of the state’s population in 1996 (the last year for which figures are available), they represent 13 percent of traffic deaths. In addition, 76 percent of teenage traffic fatalities that year occurred in crashes in which a teenager was at the wheel. “Young people are our most valuable resource,” said Sheriff Gary Settle. “That’s why our department is so committed to preventing youth injury and death on the roadsN” A number of Virginia traffic laws have been enacted to save young lives. Under the “zero tolerance” law, those under 21 who drive after drinking alcohol can lose theftlicense for up to six months and be fined up to $500. ' Settle encourages everyone to wear safety belts and drive defensively. Don’t forget that school will soon reopen, so watch for children. Smart, Safe and Sober is & joint effort of the Rappahannock Sheriffs Office, the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police, the Virginia Sheriff’s Association, the Virginia Department of State Police, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, Virginia Commonwealth University, DRIVE SMART Virginia and the Air Bag and Seatbelt Safety Campaign.

Girls teams ready for action By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer While other students are still enjoying the last of their summer vacations and getting “psyched up” to go back to school, some students are already back at school. The girls junior varsity and varsity basketball teams have been hard at work sharpening their skills. “The first week was all conditioning,” said girls varsity basketball coach Luther Stanley . “I think they’ve gotten in pretty good shape and now we’re continuing to work on conditioning and defense. If we can just get everyone here at one time we’ll be okay.” Stanley said the girls seem more energetic and enthusiastic this year than last. He attributes that to circumstance. “Last year was new to them, having a new coach and trying to adjust. This year their enthusiasm is really high.” Most of those returning from last year seem ready to work, he said. Returning are: Sonya Wigington, Rebekah Letsen, Beth Magee, Janice Wilson, Margo Haynes, Rebecca Metcalfe and Mandolyn Ashby. New to girls varsity this year are: Meghan Fairbrother, Michelle Woodard, Kyla Andreoni, Sonya Anderson, Katie Wilson, Emily Taylor and foreign exchange student Jimena Gomez. “If they play the way I know they’re capable of playing we will see a good season,” Stanley said. “I just need to teach them to play defense.” The varsity has their first game Sept. 8 away against Clarke. “We scrimmaged them last year and played pretty even,” Stanley said. “I don’t want to say what the outcome will be but it will depend on how we progress.” JV coach Rhonda Jenkins said although she has a “very young team” they are hard workers. “I think once they learn to play together, get some experience, they’ll be fine,” she said. Although she has no start ing players returning, Amanda Weakley, Amy Clinedinst, Kelly Atkins, Betsy ,Welk, Lori Schwertfeger and Amber Welch were members of last year’s team and have that experience to drawn on. New team members are: eighth graders, Robin Pivarnik, Jessica Ashby and April Parker; ninth graders Jessica Nawrocki and Jessica Newkirk; and sophomore Esther Koorn, an exchange student. “I expect them to win and tell them they can win but we also have fun,” Jenkins said. “If they work hard they should do well and we have a height advantage.” Six of the girls are five foot, eight inches or more.! “We’re going to work on using our height and we have several smaller girls who are quick.” Jenkins said she is relying on returning team members Welch and Weakley as scorers and for rebounds and Clinedinst as floor leader due to their experience. “This group has a great attitude and is really fun to Work with. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Carl Eborn SETTING UP GOALS: The RCHS girls junior varsity basketball team has been busy practicing. They want to learn and hopefully they’ll (the ninth graders) be back and we’ll be even better next year,” Jenkins said. The girls set goals for themselves every day and if they fail to meet them “they run,” said Jenkins. “So they’ve been hitting their shots pretty well.” The JVs first game is Sept. 8 at Clarke, although Jenkins said they may have a scrimmage before that during the first week of school. Cross Country warms up By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer It’s almost that time — time for school to start. It’s also time for fall sports to begin and the teams from Rappahannock County High School have been busy this month practicing. The Cross County Team will meet its first challenge on Sept. 2 at home against Page County. Coach Dave van de Graff was out of town this week and unavailable for comment but Reed Gillespie, assistant coach said the teams are shaping up Well. “We started team practices a week ago and about 10 runners showed up but this week we’ve had more. We’ll probably end up with about 40 on the team,” he said. “We’ll get out first realistic look the first week of school.” Coach Christy Sander will also be back to help. Gillespie said they have many of their top runners coming back as well. ' Mark Williams, Adam Starks, Matt Wolfe, Chad Heddleston, Colin Nichols, Tommy Baldwin and Robbie Wilson will be back. They lost Chris Dennis, his family moved out of the area and they’re not sure about Chris Sause or Willie Collins yet, Gillespie said. Beth Yowell, who went to state last year for Rappahannock, is back as well as Lauren Sharp, Emily Sims, Claire Schadler, Sara Opseth and Jessica Gheen. Meghan Fairbrother, on the team last year, has elected to jday basketball.

Educators return to school Rappahannock County educators — teachers, administrators, custodians, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, aides and support staff — sensed an air of change when they returned to school Monday, Aug. 24 for an opening convocation that challenged them to “pursue their passion" and usher in a new school year committed to cooperation, teamwork, and “more success with less stress.” An early morning coffee hour — complete music by student pianists Jami and Wendy Gillis — served as a prelude to a day-long seminar with motivational speaker Sam Bartlett who offered the staff strategies for increased effectiveness. Bartlett’s presentation underscored a number of important concepts: the power of vision, the importance of conflict management, the ability to appreciate differences and the importance of accentuating positives. Throughout the day, the audience was challenged to apply theory through role play and practical application. Bartlett encouraged his audience to take risks necessary to challenge the status quo. Among the suggestions he offered educators were the importance of setting weekly goals, learning to be assertive when dealing with conflict, identifying and appreciating leadership styles, prioritizing tasks, pursuing personal goals, and learning to listen with their eyes, ears and heart. RCHS National Honor Society students were on hand to help prepare food for lunch and answer phones so staff could attend the seminar. The event was sponsored by the School Council, composed of county educators and community members, who have worked throughout the summer to begin implementing a proposal developed under the auspices of the Greve Foundation whose grant helped fund the day. Massie From Page 1 reproductive biology, Massie’s Rose Hill offers a full range of services for both large and small animals, including exotics like llamas, ostriches and reptiles. At the present time, cattle make up about 65 percent of his case load, but Massie is interested in and willing to care for any kind of animal. “In an age of specialization,’’ he noted, “that’s an unusual thing. I enjoy the diversity ... I like to have things change. I pride myself on trying to stay current, even on small animals.” Massie also recognizes that the modern animal owner appreciates education and advisory services that go beyond traditional maintenance and emergency care. He frequently assists owners in designing housing and other facilities for optimum efficiency and health of their animals, as well as providing advice concerning sales and marketing. One of his most important responsibilities, he believes, is educating new owners. Last week, at Skye Farm outside of Flint Hill, he examined and treated Nancy McEvoy’s fledgling llama herd, evaluating the animals and advising her on their care. For most farmers, Massie observed, raising their animals is more than just their livelihood — it’s an emotional attachment as well. “It’s goes beyond money,” he said. “I’ve • had to tell a farmer his cow was going to die, and the man just sat down and cried. He really loved that cow. These are not factory farms.” Massie's goal within the next five years is to expand his practice from mobile farm service to include a full service small animal clinic. He believes “it’s something the county needs.” Pet owners now take their animals to Front Royal, Winchester or the Warrenton area because there is no clinic in Rappahannock. Some veteri narians, like Massie, do pro vide on site services like rou tine vaccinations and worm ings. To schedule appointments or for round-the-clock emergencies, call 675- 2335.

The cases here were linked to a series of multi jurisdictional cases. This week the sheriff’s office wrapped up the cases concerning Rappahannock. In so doing they uncovered more information about the crimes than had previously been discovered. The woman involved in the crimes was actually a participant and not a fence for receiving and selling the stolen property. Our sheriff’s office uncovered that information and the woman now awaits trial on two counts of grand larceny and two counts of burglary. If not for the diligent and persistent work by the sheriff’s office these facts may never have come to light. She had already been tried and released for the lesser crime in Prince William County despite the fact that the man involved has been incarcerated in Prince William County since May. Although Rappahannock does not see the rampant crime that neighboring counties to the north or south do it still has its share of larcenies and drug related cases. Were it hot for the fact that the law enforcement personnel here are local and know the county and the people here as well as they do it could be a different story. The fact is they do and it works. They contribute in a big way toward making Rappahannock the place it is. Letters Throw the rascals out After the 1994 election, the new Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives lined up on the Capitol plaza to sign their “Contract with America.” Of course, the fine print in the contract promised that they would introduce the legislation, but not necessarily pass it, but they told us loudly every day for months that it would change the whole federal government, and that all our lives would be much betr ter as a result. Of the 10 hard-hitting proposals in the contract, only part of one ever became law, the line-item veto. On June 25 of this year, the Supreme Court threw that one out as unconstitutional. Score, zero for 10. There is a traditional American remedy for this kind of flim-flam: Throw the Rascals Out! Augustus C.

Rappahannock Today Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Carl Eborn The buses in the lot at the Rappahannock School Board Office are lined up and ready for Monday. Old Dominion Politics Though Governor Jim Gilmore has reappointed dozens of Allen administration people to various agencies and commissions, it seems correct to say that his is a far different governorship from that of his predecessor. In fact, one might even be inclined to call Gilmore a latter day Linwood Holton since, like Holton, Gilmore is reaching out to groups that don’t traditionally have Republican leanings and in the process alienating some members of his own Rarty. There was grumbling about his naming former state NAACP director Linda BirdHarden to head a minority business outreach agency and of his decision to restore the Department of Environmental Quality to its former state which some felt was bureaucracy personified. Then there is his alliance with the AFL-CIO on the matter of tobacco factory workers and his inclination to be, unlike Allen, non-confrontational toward Democrats in the General Assembly. The two are not only differ ent philosophically, with Allen considerably more conservative in outlook, but almost totally different in style. One could not picture Gilmore, the very picture of a well-clad attorney, wearing cowboy boots and dipping snuff like Allen. Gilmore, as he demonstrated when attorney general, is more the corporate executive type who is well-organized and carefully attends to his “in” and “out” baskets each day. His two predecessors, Democrat Doug Wilder and Republican Allen, were much more inclined to shoot from the hip, though both are generally conceded to have been excellent chief executives. And so, too, may Gilmore given time. He has already partially fulfilled his pledge to virtually eliminate the personal property tax on vehicles and is presiding over a continuing period of economic boom in Virginia. Hardly a day goes by that a press release doesn’t arrive with the governor announcing some new industry or business locating in the state. Not so long ago, as I recall, he proudly announced a new business that would contribute 25 jobs to the Galax economy. But he can probably, realistically speaking, maintain his above-the-fray posture only until next year when deadly combat will take place between Republicans and Democrats for control of the General Assembly. The GOP for the first time in modem history will have a chance to land majorities in both the Senate and House and Republicans will be expecting Gilmore to lead the fight on their behalf. To do that, he won’t be able to give any quarter to Democrats without running the risk of losing much of his base support within the Republican Party, a base that has stayed essentially loyal but that probably has a deeper loyalty to Allen than Gilmore. This observer has vivid memories of what happened to Holton after he was elected the first Virginia Republican governor in 1969. He filled his cabinet with moderates, many of whom had backed him and expected him to dispense patronage on the basis of politi cal affiliation. Later, when his term was done and he sought the party nomination for U.S. Senate, Republicans by the thousands who regarded him as a pariah backed former party chairman Dick Obenshain, a man who looked on Holton as a Democrat in Republican clothing. My guess is that when the bell rings next year, Gilmore will take off his jacket and come out swinging since the advantages of a Republican controlled General Assembly should be obvious to him. Unlike Holton, he has not yet crossed — and' - probably won’t cross — that line that shuts him off from former supporter^ and campaign contributors. Incidentally, Holton did a, fine job as chief executive but**, there are still many, many oldt* time Republicans around who’* continue to regard him as a " turncoat.

Oriented, ecstatic and ready By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer The new school year is about to begin and the new teachers are ready. Among those taking a tour of the elementary school last week were some familiar faces. Laurie Marshall, wellknown local artist and thespian and the teacher for the artist-in-residence program in the county’s schools for the last 10 years, will be teaching part time at Rappahannock High School as the art teacher. “Children’s art helps our world,” she said. “They really have important work to do — that’s my belief.” Jennifer Jenkins, a 1990 RCHS graduate, has been working at the school board office for the last three years as special education secretary while working on her master’s degree in special education. She has been hired full time to teach special education at RCES. “I didn’t think it would ever happen. Working and going to school takes a long time. I’m ecstatic to be teaching here,” she said. Echoing her comments was Jennifer Deal, a 1993 RCHS graduate. Deal has returned home to teach kindergarten at RCES. She graduated James Madison University and finished student teaching in December 1997. She taught fifth grade Title 1 during the last school year. Cindy Simpson, who attended Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg and is from Culpeper, worked as an aide at RCES before landing the job as fourth grade teacher this year. New to the area is math teacher Anthony Conti who will be teaching at RCHS. Conti is a recent graduate of Gannon University in Erie, Pa. and is relocating to Rappahannock. Also new to the county, but not the area, is Nancy Keller of New Market. Hired as the new primary speech and lan Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cart Ebom NEW IN ‘98: From left, Nancy Keller, Jennifer Jenkins, Laurie Marshall, Danette Opseth and Jennifer Deal, new teachers. guage teacher at RCES, Keller is originally from Richmond and a graduate of JMU. She is presently in the second year of a master’s program in speech pathology. “I’m very excited to be here,” she said. “I have friends who live here and so am somewhat familiar with the area already.” Lynn Fournier, of Stafford, has been hired as the new band teacher for the school system. Fournier has a wealth of experience to offer band students here. She was a member of “Pershing’s Own,” the U.S. Army Band, for 20 years. She was a band director in North Olmsted, Ohio and a flute choir director in Fauquier County. Florence Goff, of Rappahannock, has always wanted to work for a school system. She worked as a secretary for her husband and son who are lawyers in Luray. She will replace Jenkins as special education secretary at the school board office. Danette Opseth, who was a parent-teacher volunteer last year, will be the new office aide at RCES. Opseth has two children in the school system here.

Rappahannock resident and parent Linda Torrance has accepted a position as school nurse for both schools but her main office is located at RCES. Dr. David Gangel, superintendent of schools said, “I think we have a great group and will have a great year. We’re [all] looking forward to this school year.” n Larecny From Page 1 is still working to recover items which were pawned by the group and gathering other evidence. They have been working with Prince William County to obtain additional information. Capt. Chris Williams and Lt. Larry Sherertz of Rappahannock went to Prince William and interviewed Cintron. They found out that Ortiz was involved in the actual burglaries and not just with receiving stolen goods which authorities in Prince Wiiliam had originally thought. She was arrested and is now in jail here awaiting trial. A juvenile has also been implicated in the series of crimes and is being sought at this time. Settle said they hope to have him in custody later this week. Social Security Disability Claims • Disabled?

I can’t believe we are almost at the end of August and on Monday, Aug. 24 school personnel went back to work in Culpeper and Rappahannock counties. Where has the summer gone? I’m sure the students will be asking the same question on the 31st when they begin school. Each year I say the same thing, but please watch out for the children waiting for their bus. There are lots of bus stops on blind curves which could prove fatal for a young person crossing to board the bus. You may need to leave earlier to avoid the increased traffic activity produced by student drivers, teachers, parents, and other returning school personnel. All area schools need volunteers to help in the day to day routine of running a school If you have the time to spare, please become a volunteer. Due to the Labor Day holiday, I will be picking up the news for the week of Sept. 7 on Thursday, Sept. 3. Otherwise, I will get the news by noon on Sundays at Hackley’s Store.

While the >ody may enjoy a finite life that is the destiny of all living things, the soul is free to search the limitless bounds of the leavens that place no restrictions in terms of time or energy. As Elisabeth Kubler-Ross wrote in her groundbreaking book, On Death and Dying, “Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star, one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever.” For many of us, faith in something that lies beyond death offers relief to our physical loss in this life. For others of us, simply remembering the richness we shared with our loved one while we were together offers us sustenance as we are inevitably forced to part. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we offer peaceful and spacious rooms in which to receive your loved ones and friends. For answers to your questions, call us at 347-3431. “Dying seems less sad than having lived too little. ” I- Gloria Steinem | <$S&§cAaidtw&AAjaty & ' ^ ££ V -jaasr Nicki L. Randolph to Paul P.
