Off they go! BY GERALD OCHS Rappahannock News Writer Oh, what a Class! The Rappahannock County -High School had an extraordinary graduation for an extraordinary group. The Class of 2000: ninety-two graduates, twenty-five members of the National Honor Society, fortyeight Governor’s Seal recipients, and the fiftieth class of the combined Rappahannock County High School. In a packed and sweltering auditorium, this year’s graduates convened for their send-off by school mates, parents and siblings, -friends, grandfolks, uncles and aunts and cousins, and a justifiably proud school system staff and officials. “You are the best of the best,” said class Salutatorian Rebecca Claire Metcalfe, and the truth of the acclaim is well-reflected in the achievements of class members. College scholarships, locallyendowed scholarships, awards, regional and national recognition — this class has performed superbly and can be more than satisfied with its performance. Off they go — to places familiar and not, to jobs and college and travels around the country and, as Valedictorian Mary Elaine Morgan recited, “Life is a balancing act, and you’re off to great places." Rappahannock County can be proud of the Class of 2000. Scholarships and awards this year include: •Math/Science/Engineering Scholarship - Crystal Grigsby; •James J. Kilpatrick Writing Award - Sara Dodd-Henze; •Lord Fairfax Community College Scholarships: Principal’s scholarship - Stephanie Grigsby; College Board Scholarship - Jennifer Bywaters; and Foundation Scholarship - Benjamin Atkins. •Shenandoah University Scholarship - Kathryn Wilson and Heather Dunn; •President’s Student Service Challenge Scholarship - Sonya Anderson and Allison Baker; •Greater Piedmont Area Association of Realtors Scholarship - Chad Heddleston; •Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District Scholarship - Summer Alexander; •Claude H.

In his case, Mr. Warner said, the absence was due to a death in the family, and he noted that he was prepared to delay his departure had the board required his presence to reach a quorum. The “legitimacy of absence" issue does however point more directly at Jackson District school. board member Rebecca Cordani, who again failed to attend. During the Public Comment portion of the meeting, Jackson District resident Katherine Treanor said that she was “concerned and worried about my school board member. Why is she not here?” There was no apparent explanation for Ms. Cordani’s most recent absence, and Mrs. Treanor’s question received no response from the board. mnd-ot-year funds likely substantial L .

Birdsongs break the woods’ silence It flies through the green foliage as if it would ignite the leaves,” wrote Thoreau in May 1853 after seeing a scarlet tanager. The male scarlet tanager is one of the most astonishingly beautiful birds in North America — all 6 1/4 inches of him. “Scarlet” is inadequate to describe this tanager, for the red feathers that cover his body, except for jet black wings and tail, have enough orange to produce a kind of fire, the fire that inspired Thoreau. The female is a dull greenish above and yellow tinged with green below. She is not so strikingly colored as the male, but has an elegant beauty of her own. Lee Trott and I drove the long road to the home-in-thewoods of the Birds, off Fodderstack Road between Flint Hill and Washington. Diana and Lee Bird were away. Lee Trott had been invited to gather roses from All Things Wild And Wonderful John Trott their yard — pink roses, yellow roses, and red roses almost as red as the male tanager. The moment I opened the car door, I heard the rasping, hoarse notes of the red bird with black wings and tail. The tanager’s cadences are much like those of the robin and consist of four to five short phrases with distinct pauses between notes. Like “... a robin with a sore throat,” wrote Roger Tory Peterson in “A Field Guide to the Birds.” Two tanagers sang from the Birds’ woods, a sort of vocal contest in which the two males Seemed to be saying, “You stay in your part of the oak forest and I will stay in mine.” The woods rang with their repeated songs. I didn’t need to see the bird. My imagination supplied the vision of the brilliant red and black bird perched high among the new leaves of an oak, probably a chestnut oak, the dominant tree in the Birds’ woods. Thoreau described the tanager as "... indolently inspecting the limbs and twigs — leaning over it — and sitting still a long time.” Scarlet tanagers do not constantly move about, but perch at the end of a limb and slowly search the surrounding leaves ior insects. While Lee Trott clipped roses, I prowled the woods. The tanager’s song was stitched through with the incessantly repeated song of a red-eyed vireo. This small greenish bird with a black-bordered eye stripe, sang its short, abrupt phrases over and over: “See me? Up here, look here.” So constantly does the vireo sing that one ornithological researcher measured 40 phrases per minute. It is a monotonous, continuous performance — the voice of the forests of the Virginia Piedmont. Where there are uninterrupted stands of oak, hickory, maple — and an occasional tulip tree — one can be sure of hearing the vireo constantly asking himself questions and answering them. Far away, I heard the guttural, throaty call of a yellowbilled cuckoo. No other sounds — cars, trucks, or the distant hum of an airplane — intruded. I heard only the hoarse, yet distinctive, phrases of the tan- j agers, the continuous talk,of 1 the vireo, and the toneless chant of the cuckoo. Lee Trott came away with an armful of yellow roses, I with memories of bird song and an inward vision of a bird with scarlet and black plumage.

Longyear fundraiser slated Walt Longyear, Republican candidate for the 31st District House of Delegates, is calling on an old friend to support his nominating campaign. Lyn Nofziger, President Ronald Reagan’s Communications Director and political strategist, will be the guest of honor and main speaker at a fundraiser for Longyear on Tuesday evening, June 27 in Fairfax County. Longyear is in a four- way race for the Republican nomination to succeed Delegate Jay Katzen, who is running for the GOP nomination for lieutenant governor. Nofziger was a key figure in the successful political campaign to take Ronald Reagan from the governorship of California to the Vftiite House. He helped to shape the modem conservative platform that took Republicans out of the shadow of the Watergate era and into a position of political dominance in our nation. Longyear is a civic activist and local businessman who resides in Rappahannock County. He is positioning himself as the conservative alternative in what is becoming an energetic nomination contest. Locally, Walt Longyear serves as chairman of the Rappahannock County Republican Committee. He is credited with building a Republican majority in his county during his 10 years as chairman. Longyear said, “If elected I will work my fingers to the bone to cut taxes, support families and improve education for all children, including school choice so that parents can make the best educational decisions for their children., “My campaign will be about shared values and a positive vision for the future.” Longyear concluded, “I want to serve the people of Fauquier, Rappahannock and Warren counties by giving them the leadership they deserve. I’m pouring my heart and soul into this campaign so that we can continue providing and build upon the conservative, common sense reforms that were initiated under Republican governors George Allen and Jim Gilmore and Delegate Jay Katzen.” Tickets to the fundraiser may be reserved by calling 675-3679 or by e-mail by writing to longyear@shentel.net. Independence Day book sale at Ki Theater includes tome . BY COL. NELS PARSON Rappahannock News Writer Books by local authors will be featured in the Ki Theater on July 4th and will include ; Carl Coon’s “Culture Wars and the Global Village,” just released. His book is neither large nor ponderous but it is certainly scholarly. This tome will stretch one’s vocabulary and knowledge of the world but, most of all, it , will stretch one’s thinking. In a half dozen ways well-known scholars are quoted on the jacket lauding the work and - daring the reader to try it. Retired Ambassador Coon is an ardent humanist who evolved his theories during a long career in the Foreign Service. He writes he was influenced by his anthropolo. gist father but even more by • the people of different cultures that he met. ' By cultures he means “particular assemblages of ethnic, linguistic, religious, ethical or behavioral features” that distinguish one group from another. He proposes that the conflicts in the Balkans, the ; Middle East, Africa and many ' parts of the world can be r braced to evolution of cultures and human nature in the prehistoric past. This week’s crime report The Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office is investigating an attempted break-in at the county dump site on Flatwood Lane west of Washington that was discovered on the morning of June 9. According to Sheriff Larry Sherertz, both he and Dep. Connie Compton had gone to the site to investigate. Once there, they determined that someone had tried to pull down the locked gate by attaching a chain to it, and pulling the chain with a vehicle.

Virginia law enforcement are on the lookout for a car similar to this one in connection with the vandalism at Montpelier last month. Sheriff s Office seeking out-of-state Cadillac in Montpelier investigation BY MARY ANN KUHN Rappahannock News Writer The Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office and the Virginia State Police are seeking help from the public in identifying the owner of a car with out-of-state license plates that was seen on the grounds of Montpelier around the time of the vandalism of the historic mansion last month. Investigators are seeking any person who may have seen or have knowledge about an early 1980s black Cadillac Eldorado “or similar type vehicle” with blue tags with yellow letters that was seen at Montpelier by a passerby at about 1 p.m. on Wednesday, May 17. The witness described the car as having a chrome band over the roof, and opera windows in the rear pillars. Three male subjects were seen in the vehicle. The vandalism was discovered on Saturday afternoon, May 20. Investigators have said that the crime possibly occurred sometime earlier in that week. “The vehicle was observed on Montpelier property at the house and seen a short time later at the bottom of Montpelier Lane coming out of the gate,” said Sheriff Larry Sherertz in an interview this week. “If anyone has knowledge of anyone who operates a vehicle like this, we would like them to come forth,” said the Sheriff. “We are not saying these people are the perpetrators,” Sherertz said. “ We are saying they might be helpful to our investigation.” The person who supplied the sheriff’s office with the sighting was traveling southbound on Route 231 and saw the car up at the house. This individual forgot something, the sheriff said, and had to drive back, and saw the Cadillac coming out of the gate leaving Montpelier. Investigators have mentioned Pennsylvania tags as possibly being the out of state tag on the Cadillac; however they also are looking at the possibility the tags could be from Delaware or New Jersey because of the similarity in colors. “We are actively pursuing a number u< leads at this time in conjunction with the state police,” said Sherertz. The other leads he said he could not discuss at this time because the case is under investigation. Meanwhile, state police investigators have been at Montpelier and have been interviewing members of the family of the late James W. Fletcher as well as other individuals Montpelier has been in the family since 1968 Reward fund climbs to $30,195 In other events, the reward fund for the arrest and conviction of the persons responsible for the vandalism at Montpelier, has climbed to $30,195, according to the Rappahannock Historical Society which is accepting pledges. Montpelier, a nearly 300 year old grand plantation house, was viciously vandalized sometime between May 15 and May 20. The home, which now belongs to the four daughters of the late James W. Fletcher, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is on the Virginia Landmarks Register. It was unoccupied at the time of the Vandalism. The four Fletcher daughters, members of the community and local organizations were so outraged by the destruction of Montpdlier that they have come together and pledged thousands of dollars. Reward money is still being pledged. Anyone interested in making a pledge should call the Rappahannock Historical Society 675-1163. In other news, Calder Loth, senior architectural historian for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources wrote in a letter to the editor of the Rappahannock News in this issue, that “it was distressing in the extreme to learn” of the Montpelier vandalism. He called Montpelier “an important cultural resource of the Commonwealth.” The destruction of Montpelier “is thus a loss to everyone, especially the citizens of Rappahannock County,” he wrote. He said he was “encouraged by the vigorous local effort to catch the perpetrators.” Thursday 6/15: OPEN MIC.

This past Saturday, June 10th marked the graduation of the Rappahannock County High School Class of 2000. We’re sure that, following commencement exercises Saturday morning, most of the graduates headed out for well-deserved vacations and revelry. We urge them, in their celebrations, to behave responsibly. During the past few years our high school students have compiled an admirable record of responsible behavior during tempting times, including prom weekend and graduation. We congratulate them on their achievements and wish them well in future endeavors. This was a special graduation as it marked the fiftieth annual commencement of the Rappahannock County High School. It was also a large class, 92 graduates; and 48 of those students received the Governor’s Seal (advanced studies diploma - 23 credits - with a 3.0 or better grade point average). They are to be commended! Rappahannock schools will close on Thursday, June 15 with early release at 11 a.m. Childreii will • begin their summer vacations and we wish them all a busy and fun-filled summer.

The weather was perfect, the music was great and best of all, the Confederates routed the Yankees in the Battle of Faith Mountain. Special thanks go to the re-enactors of the Old Dominion Rifles, 17th Virginia Infantry Regiment, and those of the 28th Massachusetts, Irish Brigade, who provided much color, excitement and education about the life of the Civil War soldier. Locally, we wish to thank the members of the Rappahannock Historical Society and the Amissville Area Community Association for their participation as vendors. Cliff Miller generously allowed use of his property for the skirmish, and Martin and Cheri Woodward of Faith Mountain Company did the same, for which we are thankful. Sincere thanks go to the many people who came to support the event and enjoy the day. To our neighbors near the Old Sperryville Bookshop, we express our appreciation for their tolerating an invasion of soldiers, musicians, authors, spectators and others without complaint. The response has convinced us that Sperryville Civil War Days should be an annual event, and we would welcome broader participation in future years.

Montpelier Montpelier ’ is listed on * both the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places. The destruction of much of Montpelier’s irreplaceable historic fabric is thus a loss to everyone, especially the citizens of Rappahannock to whom this unique property has meant so much for so many years.

Flatwood inaugurates service BY GERALD OCHS Rappahannock News Writer Last Saturday the Flatwood Refuse and Recycling Center on Rock Mills Road opened its doors to the public and provided Rappahannock a more secure alternative to the Scrabble and Huntly dumpster sites. Controlled access to the site will enable attendants Jerry Burke and David Alther to observe those seeking to use the facility and to turn away out-of-county residents, and should provide better control on the dumping of unacceptable trash. The attempted use of the dumpster sites by non-residents has been informally observed by residents includ ing Supervisor Bryant Lee, and the closing of those facilities might well reduce the volume of refuse intake at the County landfill—reductions that could result in savings to County taxpayers. The Flatwood Center opening was attended by County Administrator John McCarthy, Supervisors Pete Estes, Robert Anderson and Bryant Lee, School Board member Franklin Warner, site attendants Jerry Burke and David Alther, and Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Updike of Community Trash. In his opening remarks, Administrator McCarthy outlined the schedule of operations of the facility and praised Mr. Updike for his Brown received degree from VMI Cadet Jason S. Brown was among 220 cadets who received degrees May 20 at Virginia Military Institute’s commencement exercises. Cadet Brown, received a BS degree in civil engineering. While at VMI he was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and The Big Red Club. Upon graduation, he will be project manager with Anderson Company. He is a graduate of Rappahannock County High School and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Julian S. Brown, formerly of Sperryville. ingenious design of the container roof: the four-section roof will keep rain out of the trash container, thus reducing the possibility of leaching, and each section can be flipped to block public access while unloading operations are proceeding. At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr. McCarthy tossed in the inaugural bag of trash, but was followed soon after by the facility’s first real customer, Jan Davis, who deposited a station wagon-load of recyclables in the appropriate containers. The Flatwood Refuse and Recycling Center is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Scrabble dumpster will close on June 28, and the Huntly dumpster will close on July 12.

The joists have been replaced, and the wall problem will be overcome through the use of “sleepers.” The work on the addition is on schedule despite the roof problems, Dr. Gangel said-the inside is painted, most of the electrical work is complete, and work on the ceilings and locker installation is underway. Regarding maintenance during the summer months, Dr. Gangel presented a schedule of maintenance activities prepared by Maintenance Coordinator, Bill Deal. The schedule includes the bidding and completion of an RCHS electrical upgrade, a conversion of the high school coalfired boiler to oil-fired and the installation of a security window at the elementary school; RCES water tank flushing, classroom painting and gym stage floor refinishing; RCHS gym floor refinishing, auditorium carpet replacement and entrance renovation; and the renovation of elementary school playground equipment. Because no bids were received for the electrical upgrade and boiler conversion, Dr. Gangel said that he might have to proceed using an alternative process in order to complete these critical tasks. PTO offers redirect of playground funds to teacher pay In a letter from the Rappahannock County Parent Teacher Organization read during the Communications and Public Comment portion of the meeting, PTO President Jimmy Swindler conveyed the organization’s offer to have the School Board redirect playground matching funds to teacher salary increases. This offer was based on a proposal by PTO Playground Committee Chair Shannon Swain and was unanimously approved by the PTO membership. On an annual basis the PTO receives $10,000 in playground improvement matching funds from the school system, and the PTO’s offer would have the school board reallocate these funds for teacher salary improvements “so that our schools can attract and retain the top quality teachers our students deserve.” The board applauded the offer, Crime From Page A3 attached to the gate. “I feel this was done by someone who’s not in favor of having to come here,” said Sherertz. “The Huntly and Scrabble dumps are being closed, and some people resent having to come to Washington to dump their trash.” Also under investigation is yet another attempted breakin of a residence in Chester but declined to reallocate the funds. Assistant Superintendent Mary Ann Biggs also reported on two communications received from the Headwaters Foundation: one was a donation of $500 for the Rappahannock Educational Growth Foundation, and the other described Headwaters’ summer adventure program for rising seventh through tenth' graders and requested that the' school board okay school bus; use for the five adventure program trips. The board accepted the donation and approved the use of a school bus. , I In public comments, Pat; Metcalf criticized the senior! trip scheduling that resulted; in a conflict with girls’ soccerregional competition. Mrs. Metcalf suggested that a broad-based committee be established to formulate plans for the senior trip that would avoid the type of conflict that forced seniors Allison Baker and Meghan Fairbrother to have to choose to support the team and thus miss the senior trip.

A bit of history Jr * [ Ivy Cliffs and the first settlers BY JOHN DEBERGH Rappahannock News Writer Thomas James and Elizabeth Kennerley were the first settlers in this area. On June 6, 1735, they purchased 1,750 acres of land from Lord Fairfax. Lord Fairfax called this tract of land Delemore Forest because it reminded him of land that he owned in England. As you leave Washington, on the Fodderstack Road, and after crossing . the Rush River, the Delemore Forest land would be on your left. Ivy Cliffs is on the Rappahannock historic map with a date of 1739. On January 22, 1745/6, William Coleman and his wife sold Francis Strother 518 and one third acres of land, one third of the Delemore Forest tract and including Ivy Cliffs. In 1748, Francis Strother and his wife, Susannah (Dabney) Strother, and all except two or three of the older children moved to Ivy Cliffs. On July 22, 1748, Francis Strother bought two more tracts of land from Lord Fairfax, totalling 1,333 acres that he owned. In the will of Francis Strother in 1752, he left Ivy Cliffs to his wife and then passed on to his son, Robert. However, there must have been a family arrangement because one of Francis Strother’s youngest daughters, Elizabeth married James Gaines and they lived at Ivy Cliffs until May 1779 when they moved to North Carolina. The had 12 children. Edmund Pendleton Gaines was bom at Ivy Cliffs on March 20, 1777. He entered the Army in 1799 and was a Major General by the War of 1812 and one of the heroes of this war. For his third wife, he married Myra Clark Gaines of New Orleans. She must have been an interesting and famous woman as two books were written about her, New Orleans Woman and The Strange Case of Myra Clark Gaines. K Updike honored at awards banquet The annual Wakefield Athletic Awards Banquet took place recently at Mosby’s Tavern in Middleburg. Of 170 student athletes, 30 were honored at the event for their outstanding participation in fall, winter and spring sports at the junior high, JV and varsity levels. All 18 members of the Wakefield coaching staff selected award recipients, based on the athletes’ year long records. For the second consecutive year, Washington resident and 11th grader Katie Updike won the girl Athlete of the Year award. Updike was captain of the Fighting Owls Girls’ Varsity Volleyball and Basketball teams and played on the soccer team. She won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in varsity volleyball, and her teammates voted her MVP of the varsity basketball team. She also made the First Team, All-DAC (Delaney Athletic Conference) selection, for these two sports. Katie Updike She is the daughter of Randall and Toni Updike of Washington. This book relates that Myra Clark Gaines’ case of proving her legitimacy went before the Supreme Court more times than any other case at that time. We had the two books and I read them many years ago. I guess the books are still here somewhere, with the many other books. According to a deed recorded in Culpeper County on Aug. 25, 1780, Henry Miller II purchased of Philip Gatewood of Culpeper County, two tracts of land. The first tract contained 732 acres of land purchased by Edgman and Haines of James Kennerley. The second tract contained 804 acres. This land was part of the ongipal grants made to James Kennerely and Philip Gatewood from Thomas Lord Fairfax. My mother and wife corresponded with Dr. John A. Kelly, a professor at Haverford College in Haverford, Pa. He was a close relative of the Gaines family. He amassed a large collection of information about the Gaines, Strother, and other related families. I obtained most of my information from his collection to write this article. He wrote an article titled “Ivy Cliffs and Delemore Forest.” His last paragraph reads as follows: “Ivy Cliffs as being the ancestral home of a President. Sarah Dabney Strother, a daughter of William and Sarah (Bayley) Pannill Strother, and .. granddaughter of Francis and w Susannah Strother, was the mother V of Zachary Taylor, the 12th ■pT I will give a copy of this article and his collection to both | the historical society and Rappahannock News. On Sept. 29, 1807, Richard Harris II purchased Ivy Cliffs and 272 acres from Elijah Arnold for $500. He married Phoebe (Heaton?) and they had four children. Ann Elizabeth “Nancy” Harris, granddaughter of Richard Harris, a Revolutionary War soldier, married John Popham in 1833. Her brother, Richard Harris III, married Elizabeth Miller and I wrote about their marriage in my article about the Sam Miller farm. On Jan. 1, 2000,1 gave my daughter, Diane DeBergh Moore, and her husband, Charles Moore, my Ivy Cliffs farm. President of the United States.” The Return of Rosco P. Coltrane Rosco P.

UnifiiiLncj Ohugk* by Randy Minter SURVIVING For casual acquaintances of the recently deceased, the funeral may bring sharp emotion but it may not linger long after the event. For those family and friends whose lives were -closely- intertwined with the deceased’s, however, the grieving process can be a long journey. In the words of Alice Koller, “To everyone else, the death of that being you love for his own sake, for her own sake, is an event that occurs on a certain day. For you, the death only begins that day. It is not an event; it is a process that lives in you, springing up in the present, engulfing you years, decades, later,- as though it were the first moment again.” Grieving is a process that takes time and requires patience, a difficult truth to endure when we are suffering the pangs of loss. At the Moser Funeral Home, we urge you to inquire about how prearrangements can make life easier for your family after you’re gone. Call 540-347-3431, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, 24 hours a day. “Mourning is not forgetting. It is an undoing. Every minute tie has to be untied and something permanent and valuable recovered and assimilated from the knot. ” -Margery Allingham w Cioij -Hngjjsji • f U NI pa i H 6 M F - "The Home of Thoughtful Service" 11190 James Monroe Highway (Rt. 29 South) Culpeper, V, 540-825-2361 • 540-825-0395 Wayne English, General Manager mmzmsmzmmmmmmmmmm Association’s Virginian of the Year for 1996.
