Wayland Krystal Burke, a second grader in Mrs. Geraldine Payne’s class at RCES enjoyed DARE Day on June 1 and absolutely loved the opportunity that the Park Police officials provided for the children. Lines of children waited for their turn at getting up on the horse. The entire day was deemed successful despite the threat of rain. The sixth annual event was organized by School Resource Officer Captain Jeff Brown of the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office. Krystal is the daughter of Jeff and Becky Burke of Washington. RCHS Students to present A Midsummer Night’s Dream Rappahannock High School will present Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream on Friday, June 8 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, June 9 at 2 p.m. A Midsummer Night’s Dream contains some wonderfully lyrical expressions of lighter Shakespearian themes, most notable those of love and dreams, and in that mix, the imagination is illuminated. The fairies interfere with the lovers... “What fools these mortals be!” Even if we pride ourselves on being “rational”, there are important facets of our humanity that are both non-rational and beyond our control. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” celebrates this essential fact of life. The play encompasses three worlds: the romantic world of the aristocratic lovers, the workday of the rude mechanicals, and the fairy world of Titania and Oberon. While the three worlds intertwine during the course of the play, it is the fairy world that has the greatest impact, for both the lovers and the rude mechanicals are changed by their brush with the “children of pan”. The main plot involves two sets of couples (Hermia and Lysander and Helena and Demetrius) who have their romantic lives complicated by their entrance into the play’s fairyland woods where the King and Queen of the Fairies (Oberon and Titania) preside and the nature spirit Puck or Robin Goodfellow creates mischief. Less subplot than a brilliant satirical device, another set of characters, Bottom the Weaver and his bumptious band of rude mechanicals, stumble ip to the jnain doings when they go into the same enchanted woods to rehearse a play that is very loosely (and comically) based on the myth of Pyramus and Thisbe, their humorous home-spun piece taking up Act V of the comedy. This year’s production is directed by Jean Elizabeth (former director of The Bird’s, The Shepherd’s Play and The Three Kings Play) and stage managed by Sara DoddHenze (a 2000 graduate of RCHS and acted in The Birds). The cast includes: Kori Alexander, Dawn Andreoni, Julia Baumgardner, Alyssa Berry, Ellie Dodd-Henze, Derrick Hiserman, Anna Miller, Robin Oyster, Ruth Ann Oyster, Aaron Price, Jeremy Slack, Jeff Simeon, Alex Sitorius, Sara Thomas, Amber Welch, and Tyler Williams. Tickets are $5 and are available at the door. A student art show will be featured during intermission. Rappahannock News Photo/Barbara C. Waytand SHAKESPEARE TO RETURN: A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare will be performed at RCHS on June 8 at 8 p.m. and again on June 9 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $5 each and may be purchased at the door. 1 Local News That Clicks rnmbmmunity, cm ^ t i County historic survey likely By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer Speaking before the Board of Supervisors at their June meeting, Jeff Light of Woodville asked that the Supervisors support grass-roots efforts to develop an inventory of historic resources in the County. The survey promoted by Mr. Light and “interested groups of citizens” would engage the Virginia Department of Historic Resources in their cooperative cost-sharing program to identify and document Rappahannock’s cultural resources. The results of this inventory could be used in the process of registering candidate properties, districts and rural areas for the Virginia or the National Register of Historic Places and to develop a package of information or a book on Rappahannock's historic resources. David Edwards, now head of the Winchester office of the Department of Historic Resources, surveyed historic places in the County in the 80’s and played a significant role in placing Sperryville on the National . See BOARD, Page A8 Crime Solvers Program comes to County The Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce the launch of the Rappahannock County Crime Solvers Program. Law enforcement is more effective when partnerships are formed with the communities they serve. The Crime Solvers Program will have a Board of Directors that will meet periodically with the Sheriff to offer rewards for unsolved criminal cases and discuss a broad range of public safety issues. Leads are occasionally exhausted in criminal cases and fresh information is needed to re-energize an investigation. Frequently, a citizen may have evidence that can be critical in the closure of these cases. As an incentive to these citizens, the Crime Solvers Program will advertise rewards for information on selected criminal events. Calls can be made directly and anonymously to the Sheriffs Office. Citizens will inform the dispatcher that the call is a Crime Solvers tip at which time they will be transferred j directly to the Sheriff or Chief j Deputy. ( The caller will be assigned a code | number, provide information, and then asked to call back in a week to see if the tip resulted in closure of the case. If the tip has resulted in the closure of an advertised case, an arrangement will be made with the caller to pick up their reward at a meeting with a member of the Crime ’• Solvers Board. The caller will need I only to provide their code number to claim the reward. All transactions * will be in cash. The Rappahannock County Crime Solvers; Board of Directors, for 2001-2002 was selected by the Sheriff for their community service history and area representation. The Sheriffs Office wishes to express thanks to the following individuals who have volunteered to serve our citizens in this partnership program: Jeff Light, Woodville; Bruce Jones, Washington; Philip Irwin, Flint Hill; Janet Makela, Amissville; Buck Payne, Sperryville; and William Dobrovir, Sperryville.

For city dwellers, [Memorial Day may mark the unofficial start of summer. But for local folks, it just isn’t summer until the colors, of a firemen’s carnival light up the night sky. The best of local living is [embodied in the volunteers who tirelessly protect life and property 365 days a year, then take time to throw a ,-party for their community and every other for miles around. New for 2001 Riding members of the Flint Hill Fire Department [and its Ladies Auxiliary are [hard at work to make this | year’s Flint Hill carnival, > June 13-16, the best ever. They’re organizing new games and bringing back old favorites like baseball and hoop-la! Prizes from Faith Mountain Outlet and other local businesses spice up the action. A beautiful Chevy S-10 pickup, fire engine red, of course, and an (equally beautiful) Angus Heifer will find new homes with the lucky winners of this year’s raffle, to be drawn on closing day. But nothing will match the beauty and charm of the 2001 carnival queen, crowned the same day. Fireman’s parade Why do villagers in Flint Hill drive 20 minutes to the movies, or half an hour to the video store? Because once a year, on a perfect summer evening, the local entertainment creates the kind of cher ished memories Hollywood can only dream of. On that night, the price of admission is a lawn chair and every seat is in the front row. Little ones squeal and big folks cheer as dozens of gleaming fire and rescue vehicles, glittering majorettes, homespun floats, antique vehicles, and glamorous queens (from tots to teens) transform a mile of state road into the kind of “Main Street” that all of America longs for.

Vocational students work together Brittany Thornhill and Zach Corbin combined efforts to produce a professional quality device to use on a zip line. Their efforts are through a project setup by Mr. Ron Vickers, Drafting Instructor and Mr. John Norman, Welding/Maintenance Instructor at Rappahannock County High School. It started when Mr. Vickers saw a zip line device that could be purchased from Amazon.com. Two models were available costing from about $40 for a standard model to over $80 for the deluxe edition. This occurred after the first of the year and the Technical Drawing class was about to begin the dimensioning unit. So the final drawing exercise for this unit became a design problem where each student was to decide the shape of the two plates and locations of holes for the pulleys. “I wanted to give my students, a real life problem where they had to utilize size and location dimensions and also notes to make the drawing communicate to the person manufacturing the product,” said Mr. Vickers. He discussed the idea with Mr. Norman who quickly relayed that he could use this Wakefield School 3rd Quarter Honors 2000-2001 FIRST GRADE First Honors Isabelle Byers Cyrus Fenwick Halcigh Hutcheson Ciara Hutchison Eric Jensen Devin Kennedy Eavan Kennedy Jenny Keltz Priyanka Khanna Sarah Klcinfeltcr Kristen Swedberg Chloe Tawastsjerna Second Honors Robbie Bohn Itzel Carino .

They set up the arrangement for when the drafting students finished their work the best design would be selected and a student enrolled in Industrial Maintenance class would make an actual product. Mr. Norman liked the idea of a student having to cut circles with the plasma cutter. Stainless steel was used to make the plates and Mr. Vickers purchased the ball bearings and bolts. Zach Corbin worked with Jeffery Scroggins to produce the zip line. “Zach never had to return to the drafting class for more information since the selected drawing told everything necessary for him to do his work. I do remember, Zach asking for and getting a Xerox copy of the drawing since he didn’t want to get the original dirty” Mr. Vickers said. The work was scheduled COMBINED EFFORTS: Zach Corbin holds the zip line device that he made from a drafting assignment Brittany Thornhill designed. and on Wednesday, May 23, the product was done. Of interest was how the cushioned handles and plastic inserts on the handle ends was obtained. Mr. Norman found them the previous weekend during one of his dumpstes diving runs. “It was nice for my drawing to be selected. I like seeing something made that I actually designed”, said Brittany Thornhill. L.

By the end of this week Rappahannock County was the only Bull Run District team left in play with Manassas Park and $rentsville knocked off in the fjrst round. ; Rapp vs the 1 Riverheads « How did they do it is the (uestion of the week? The 1 oad to the state started with t le defeat of their rivals in 1 ladison County to secure a Berth in Regional play.

This was a >ig win for Rappahannock vhich we never realized until a ter. But, the Riveheads’ Photos courtesy of David Clanagan smiles after winning Region B River District Champions. It was a pitching duel to the finish. Coming into the game, each team’s ace had a perfect game in the season’s record books and several no hitters. The Lady Panthers faced the high strike zone for the first time all year. The Stateman’s pitcher, Megan Hall showed us nothing but rise balls and they had the Rapp girls swinging. There was not a single base runner for either team until the bottom of the third inning. With one out, their number eight batter reached base on an infield error. Megan Hall then hit a single to right center, and now two Statesmen were on base. The lead off hitter then bunted, reaching first with an erratic throw by pitcher, Sharp. Now bases were loaded and only one out. Rapp Coach, Jon Smythe called a time out and pulled his team together for the strategy plan. The next batter hit into Sharp who executed a throw to catcher, Gwen Johnson for the force at home. The final out was another hit back to Sharp for the easy out at first. Rapp was out of the tight spot still 0-0. In the top of the fourth inning with one out, center fielder, Ryisha Cook got the one and only hit of the game. With Sharp at the plate Cook stole second on the first pitch. Cook then stole second on the second pitch, then came home on a bad throw to third in the effort to get her out. That was the only score of the game as Rapp finished the Statesmen off 1-0. Rapp vs Amelia After several rain cancellations, the Lady Panthers finally got their chance for the Regional Championship game in on Sunday, June 3 with Amelia High School. Our young team with eight freshman, two sophomores, two juniors, and only one senior got off the bus with their coach, Jon Smythe all determined to bring home the regional trophy and a new banner for the Rapp gym as Region B Champions. The Cinderella team from Rappahannock had already by now upset two number one teams from other Districts. Now facing Amelia County who had upset Bull Run District’s number two seed Brentsville then tumbled Wilson Memorial who had upset defending state champion, Manassas Park, Rapp had another tough challenge. In the first inning, Gwen Johnson came up with a big double ripped to the left field fence and ignited the spark that set the Panthers on fire. Johnson stole second, and then came home on a passed ball to score the first run of the game. Johnson scored again in the third inning, with a lead off walk, followed by a stolen base, and scored on an RBI bunt by Ryisha Cook. Cook stole third and Sharp brought her home a hard single to left. Sharp advanced to second on the unsuccessful throw home to catch Cook, stole third, and came home on an errant throw trying to catch her at third. The score was 4-0 at the top of the third and the Panthers had finished all of their scoring for the game. On the mound Sharp did not give up a hit until the bottom of the fifth with two outs. The blooper dropped in front of second but the runner was left stranded. The Raiders never had another runner until the bottom of the seventh, with one out. A pop fly to left, lost in the sun by a Panther outfielder, dropped in for a double. But, the runner was again left stranded as Sharp put away the last tow batters with strikeouts. The Lady Panthers collected five hits for the afternoon: a double by Johnson, singles by Cook and Sharp, and a single and a double by Dana Caldwell. Defensively, Molly Burke had 11 put-outs at first with 2 being unassisted. Ashleigh Burke had an assist from second and Brittany Thornhill caught a pop fly at second. Jamie Deal had three assists at shortstop. Danielle Hiserman caught a slap hit in the infield. Sharp had three assists and snagged a high one from the mound. Caldwell had two assists from third. Coach Jon Smythe was very pleased with his young team. “They are really starting to come together to make the big plays at the right time.With only three games left to determine the State time of 2:06 qualified him for sixth place finish and a spot on the All State Track Team. Soccer Rappahannock County High School Boys Soccer team was slated to host the series of games that are played to determine the Region B soccer champions. The school hosted team after team under the superb efforts of the Rappahannock Soccer League leaders, Tom Pendleton and Katherine Treanor. Their assistance along with Assistant Principal, Mike Tupper set the stage for a first class week of championship soccer at Rappahannock that we can all be proud of. All of this effort however, culminated with the elimination of the Rapp Boys soccer team from regional play. The Madison Mountaineers handed the Rapp Boys Soccer team a disappointing loss of 4-3 in double overtime for the Region B semifinal game. The Panthers struggled with the Mountaineers earlier in the season beating them once and losing to them once. Then the two teams met again for the Bull Run District Tbumament Championship and Rappahannock soundly defeated them 6-0. Following Thursday’s loss Coach Carl Gray told the dejected team, “Let’s hope that Madison brings back the state championship for the Bull Run MOTHER/DAUGHTER: All State Track team, Freshman Ryisha Cook with her mother after the meet. Championship, anything can happen!” The Lady Panthers were now Region B Champions one of only eight teams left in the State still playing. As the Region B winner, Rappahannock has the honor of hosting the State Quarter Final game on Tuesday, June 5 at 5:30 p.m. This will be the home field advantage for the Lady Panthers who will be facing the second seed team from Region A, New Kent High School. New Kent brings a season record to the game of 20-0 against the Rapp record of 18-5. The Bull Run District coaches selected the following Rapp players for honors: First Team Designated Hitter was Gwen Johnson and Second Team as a Pitcher was Rachel Sharp. Track On Saturday, June 2 the representatives of Rappahannock County High School track athletes, Ryisha Cook and Phillip Thomas, traveled to University of Virginia for the State Track Meet. One hundred and twenty nine Class A schools from all across the state were represented at this meet - were there and represented with athletes, student supporters, family members, and fans. Against this backdrop of track and field excitement, young Cook now faced state competition. She took third in the 200m with a time of 26.16 seconds, fourth in the 100m with a time of 12.73 seconds, and fifth in the long jump with a leap of 16 5 t> " a personal best. All of these wins qualified her for a place on the All State Track Team. Junior, Phillip Thomas, ran in the 800m which was two laps around the track. He ran an exciting and strategic rape. He ran the first lap as planned with his coaches, Mr. Allen Comer and Ms. Ann Spieker. Down the backstretch of the last lap he raced into the wind which affected his time. But as he rounded the final turn, he broke for the front. He blew past everyone into third place in his heat. His District because that’s your championship.” He told the boys, “ You were unlucky. You have nothing to be ashamed of and you played a heck of a season this year. I couldn’t be prouder.” The final game of the season for the Rappahannock Boys Soccer team, saw Madison score first and Rapp responding with a goal by Daan Reimeijer. But before the half was over Madison had added two more goals to make it 3-1. In the second half Rapp got going and Reimeijer scored two more goals to tie it up and send it into overtime that producer no score by either team. This set up the second overtime and this time Madison scored.

They had a great run but lost to the Prince Edward County High School team 4-1. The tone of the game was set by some very rough play by both sides and no referee whistle. At half time the Panthers were down 3-0. Coach Maeyer started the second half with her original 11 but several had already sustained injuries from the first half and were in and out. Adrianne Moore had the only goal of the game. Despite the loss the Lady Panthers had a good season and advanced further than expected as a third seed with their slot in the tournament semifinals.

Day A day of caring, sharing and volunteering for Rappahannock Drug Abuse Resistance Education - DARE/Field Day was held at Rappahannock County Elementary School on Friday, June 1. Captain Jeff Brown of the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office, who also serves as School Resource Officer for Rappahannock, organized the sixth annual event. The threat of rain hovered over the activities all day and at times there was a little mist but for the most part it held off until around 4:30 that afternoon just as the last tents were being dismantled. Over 55 exhibitors were on hand this year and a few didn’t show because of the weather, however, overall the event was extremely successful and the children were so excited. Captain Brown works many hours beyond the call of duty to bring this event to our school children each year. He manages to get exhibitors to come from all over the state, as well as in nearby counties. He deserves a round of applause from this entire community, however earlier this week, he was first to say, “Yes, I organize the event, however, it would be impossible without the amount of incredible volunteers we have to help each year.” Each year the event grows and the excitement mounds, children are talking about the event for weeks, hoping it doesn’t rain or one child was quoted as saying, “It’s next to Christmas.” This is the excitement that should be generated among children. And that’s what Captain Brown aims for each year — for the children to see the unusual exhibits, to learn about safety and drug awareness and to see the police, protective agents and other role models in a positive light. Field Day under the direction of Ms. Carol Nowakoski, RCES RE. teacher is a big part of the day and always brings excitement to the students. A round of thanks to the many exhibitors, the enormous number of volunteers who worked so hard to make this event memorable for our students, Ms. Nowakoski and especially to Captain Jeff Brown.

Letter In response to columnist Sounds like Ben Jones is organizing a party of vigilantes to go out and string up stoners. I’m truly sorry about his friend's sister, but the chances are three to one that, in spite of what the death certificate said, she did not actually die of a drug overdose. Three quarters of all “drug overdoses” are attributable to denaturants (cut) in street drugs, not to the actual illicit drug themselves. I have personally spoken with two emergency room physicians, whose experiences support these statistics. If the FDA, Consumer Product Safety Commission, or one of those other committees Ben oversaw as a Congressman—and not Joe Stoner—regulated production, purity and safety, as they do for virtually every other substance we consume or purchase—his friend’s daughter might be alive today. At least the unfortunate young lady was partly responsible for her own demise. The most sad and pathetic deaths in the Drug War are the children, aspiring to be doctors and teachers, who are unwittingly gunned down in the crossfire of a drug dispute, or shot as they lay in bed, or sit at their window doing homework. With deepest apologies to your friend—and to some of mine for the same reason—I would rather see the gutters and alley’s filled with addicts dead from legally available drugs than one more innocent child, grandmother or law enforcement officer gunned down in cold blood. At least, if drugs were legal, only those using them would die. If good quality drug treatment were readily available, thousands like Ben’s friend’s sister might also be alive today. Hundreds of thousands of addicts would readily sign up for treatment immediately. . . but we have decided to expend virtually all our resources on interdiction and incarceration. People who have a sub stance abuse problem — it doesn’t matter if it’s alcohol, nicotine, heroin or cocaine — have a medical condition that is, in the great majority of cases, treatable. Those “junkies” who brought Ben’s . friend’s sister to the hospital were somebody’s friend’s kids too. There is still time to help them. War is not the answer. Children born with Infant Alcohol Syndrome are retarded for life. A crack baby can be normal after two years of reasonable care. Why is the alcoholic woman sick, and the coke addict a criminal? My guess is that it’s because the alcohol dealers can make campaign contributions and the drug dealers can’t. Measured in terms of the number of people in prison, there is little question that the Drugs War is a awesome success for law enforcement. We have the five percent of the world’s population and 25 percent of it’s prisoners - 80 percent are drug offenders. At the rate we are throwing people in prison, by the middle of this century one out of every two Americans will be in prison. That will never happen. According to former President Bush, about 38M Americans I' have used drugs at one time • ; or another in their lives. . - That’s only equivalent to ; „ about 20 to 25 percent of all ; our adult citizens. Nevertheless, we will pave our way out of sprawl before we’lj incarcerate our way out of drug abuse. ’ Far smaller segments of * ~ our population are accorded minority rights on the basis of their religion, skin color, eth- ' flic background, national ori- * gin, disability, and even sexual orientation. But, for those who use drugs (about 20M at any Even time), like the young dy in question, our policy is to hunt them down like rabid’ dogs. ‘ And it looks like Ben Jonep is leading the charge. Bill Tieckelmaiin Washington Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO June 8, 1961 O.A. Norton will assume his duties as Superintendent of Warren-Rappahannock Public Schools on July 1 at which time the resignation of Q.D. Gasque, who has been Superintendent for 16 years, becomes effective. Superintendent Q.D. Gasque will present the 44 graduates of Rappahannock County their diplomas at commencement exercises to be held June 9 in the school auditorium. Honor graduates at RCHS are Edgar Browning, Shirley Brown, Ellen Gore and Betty Lou Deal Cadet Richard E. McNear, son of Army Colonel and Mrs. Evan A. McNear of Washington will be graduating June 7 from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. Cadet McNear will be commissioned a second lieutenant in the Engineer Corps and will receive a bachelor of science degree. At West Point, he was active in the skeet, ski and outdoor sportsmen’s clubs. 20 YEARS AGO June 4, 1981 The hillsides near Red Oak Mountain bristled with Secret Service agents on Sunday as President Ronald Reagan flew in from the White House to have lunch with conservative columnist James J. Kilpatrick and his wife, Marie Petri. As part of extraordinary security arrangements, a decoy helicopter complete with presidential seal landed first, followed a few minutes later by a second helicopter carrying the President’s party. In the finale to a five and a half hour meeting of the Board of Supervisors on Monday, Chairman E.P. Luke announced his resignation, effective June 30. The Piedmont District representative’s announcement came at the close of a two hour executive session on “personnel, contracts and litigation.” Col. Luke said his resignation was for personal reasons “partly for health and partly because it’s gotten to be too much of a hassle.” Refreshments prepared by the County’s Extension Homemakers Clubs highlighted the reception following baccalaureate service at Rappahannock County High School on Sunday evening.

Dirt roads to Lee Highway: Part 8 By Don Audette Rappahannock News Writer On Wednesday, May 18, 1921, Dr. Samuel Myrtle Johnson, the director general of the Lee Highway Association, made a triumphal tour of the last section to be delineated of the coast-tocoast Lee Highway. The Warrenton-Sperryville-Luray route had been selected by the Lee Highway Association, instead of the Front RoyalStrasburg route, as the best way to go from Gainesville, Va., to the Valley Turnpike. On that Wednesday, 80 years ago, Dr. Johnson addressed, at two-hour intervals, large crowds in Amissville, Little Washington, and Sperryville on his way to Luray on the western side of the Blue Ridge. Accompanied by many automobiles, he made his way over Thornton’s Gap and down the other side, to be greeted in the evening by an overflow crowd at the Luray courthouse. He was welcomed by a special choir singing patriotic songs, including “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” which had been reworked to include lines celebrating the award of the Warrenton-SperryvilleLuray route. Dr. Johnson then made an inspiring address to the enthusiastic crowd. He spoke of the tough route-selection process. How the Winchester route was dropped because it was too circuitous to reach the Valley Turnpike. He told of his misgivings about the steep grades over Thornton Gap, but that the route-selection committee, made up of three of the most eminent road men in the United States, did not view the grades as a serious objection. These gentlemen were also very much in touch with future federal road legislation, and the Warrenton Sperryville-Luray route was in line with future federal action. As to the rumor that the route was “bought,” Dr. Johnson noted that Front Royal had raised $31,000 in subscriptions versus $23,000 for Luray. Dr. Johnson next proceeded to talk about the three steps involved in developing and building Lee Highway. First, it would be necessary to quickly create a useable and comfortable road all along the route. This meant bringing the road up to an acceptable condition in the next few weeks, at the outside within 60 days. In 30 days, the president of the National Touring Association would make an inspection trip. If the road met requirements, it would be put on that Association’s maps and literature for immediate use. A stream of travelers would be diverted to it. This step called for road maintenance to be done quickly. Second, it would be necessary to develop a modern highway. He noted the road from Washington, Va., to Sperryville was “all right,” but narrow. What was really needed was a road bound by a tar product or made of concrete. Enameled Lee Highway signs would then be posted along the route once this step had been met. People were to enlist the support of the federal and state governments to build Lee Highway, and support Virginia’s road bond issue coming before the Virginia General Assembly in 1922. The third and last step would be to attain the Lee Highway ideal for width (60foot right-of-way), construction, and other essentials. Dr. Johnson went on to speak of the good roads program in general and the need for great highways for military purposes, citing once more the roads in France in World War I that had saved the Allies. Commerce was to be enhanced with the development of motor traffic; railroads were losing on hauls of less than 50 miles; strikes threatened the industry, and highways were the solution. He capped his talk with the vision of Lee Highway surpassing the Lincoln Highway due to its all-weather availability, scenic beauty, and development possibilities. A period of frenetic activity in Fauquier, Rappahannock, and Page counties soon started. One of the considerations noted in the Lee Highway Association’s route-decision memorandum of May 12, 1921, read as follows. “Whereas: Assurances have been given by representatives of this route that should it be adopted as Lee Highway, the road will without delay be put and kept in useable condition, the toll-gate removed, and that it will be included in the State Highway system by the next General Assembly, and be completed to modern standards, with no grade in excess of seven per cent, within a reasonable time and thereafter maintained...” Having pledged to put the road in shape, the counties now had to make good on their promises. Rappahannock County was already at work. The 11 miles from Waterloo, just over the Culpeper border, to Little Washington was a good dirt road, and it soon was being dragged and drained on the “double-quick” to make it better. From Little Washington to Sperryville there was a modern highway. From Sperryville up to the top of Thornton’s Gap, Board of Supervisor member for the Piedmont District, William G. Wood, had a crew of men at work making the road “useable and comfortable.” Our senator in the General Assembly of Virginia, the Honorable John J. Miller of Little Washington, on a trip to Luray around the start of June 1921, noted between 200 and 300 men working on the road from Sperryville to Thornton’s Gap. In this major community road improvement effort, he saw “swarms of volunteer trucks, teams, and men busy making the rough places smooth and that there was a vim and enthusiasm in evidence that made the passerby feel like snatching a pick or shovel and joining in the fray.” Luray responded with a road repair effort that became legendary in Page County history. The task was organized by the Luray Board of Trade and reflected a military precision in keeping with World War I victories, a war which had ended less than three years earlier. A front-page call to arms was run in the Page News and Courier for “Lee Highway Day,” scheduled for June 1, 1921. Afterwards, the newspaper headlined the results: “Lee Highway Day Glorious Success: 350 Volunteer Workers Convert 9 Miles of Worn Out Turnpike Into Useable, Permanent Road in one Auspicious, Never-to-be Forgotten Day.” The far-flung battle line ran from Luray westward to the top of Massanutten. Men, trucks, and horse teams turned out with shovels, picks, and other road building tools at 7 a.m., “to be divided into squads, battalions, regiments and brigades for the onslaught.” Another Lee Highway Day was held in August to take care of the route from Thornton Gap down to Luray. When Dr. Johnson made trips through the area in the summer and fall, he was pleased. Next time: The vision of Lee Highway. Up in the Hollow #10 By Ben Jones Rappahannock News Writer Odds and ends: It was 50, years ago that I saw Connie Mack. Not the recent Senator from Florida, but his grandfather, the more famous Connie Mack. His real name was Cornelius McGillicuddy and he was born during the Civil War. He played big league baseball in the 1880’s and was for decades the owner and manager of the Philadelphia Athletes. At the end of spring trainEtg in 1951, the American eague Athletics and the Philadelphia Phillies, reigning National League champs, barnstormed North from Florida by train, playing exhibition games along the route. Their coming to Portsmouth was a big deal for me. It still is a big deal for me. I saw Richie Ashburn and Robin Roberts of the Phillies and Bobby Shantz and Eddie J^ost of the A’s. And I saw Connie Mack. He had turned 90, and had recently given up the day-to-day management of the team to his son Earle. But they couldn’t keep him away from the ballpark. “Mr. Mack”, as everyone called him, stepped out of the third base dugout into the sunlight and the cheers of the assembled. He was rail thin, lean and handsome in his dark suit with a starched collar, a bjack bow tie, and a vest with a watch fob. He stood as straight as a hickory pole and he carried himself with that dignity that commands respect. He was a 49th century gentleman of the old school, who had dressed that way and walked that way through all the years he had managed the Athletics. If Ben Jones someone had taken a color picture of Connie Mack it would probably come out in black and white. Connie Mack had been in his 50’s when that kid Babe Ruth broke in with the Red Sox. He had managed against TV Cobb and against Jackie Robinson. And I realize now that when Connie Mack was a kid like me he had seen old folks who were born in, say, 1770. I have seen Connie Mack and he saw people who were around before the American Revolution, people who had perhaps seen George Washington. So that means there are only two degrees of separation between G.W. and myself. All of this makes me understand that I am getting older and that this is a very young country indeed. All about waves: There are sonic waves and tidal waves and finger waves and amber waves of grain. But the most important waves are those that we in Rappahannock give to each other as a way of acknowledging neighbors. It is the rural equivalent of saying “good morning” to one another on a crowded city street. (This is not a good example since that only happens now in city neighbor hoods where folks really know one another. On crowded city streets you are more likely to get a different gesture.) But here we still say “hey” as often as possible. Even to strangers. It is a way of making friendly contact, and it just the way we do it around here. This is not a hard and fast rule. It is o.k., for example, not to wave if you are distracted because it is almost time to pay income tax, or if your transmission is falling out, or if you encounter a truck in a curve on your side of the road, or if your old hound dog has eaten a tire tool and you are rushing him to the vet. But it is good etiquette to always wave if you can. The only people who don’t wave are the aforementioned, plus those who really don’t like you, city people who are lost, and guests at The Inn. However, most guests at The Inn will wave after a day or so of getting through the culture shock, but there are those unfortunate few who have seen “Easy Rider” and “Deliverance” and believe that stuff and are therefore reluctant to engage socially with people in pickup trucks anyway. Politics ain’t beanbag: The gubernatorial race has cranked up and as this is being written before the state Republican convention I don’t whom the G.O.R nominee will be. But I have some advice for that person and for all the party faithful who are looking to chop up Mark Warner. Get an idea. The other day Mark Earley, at this writing the Republican frontrunner, lashed out at Warner as a “multimillionaire” and a man “who has never held office.” Let’s think about that line of attack. Earley is using “class warfare”, the kind of divisive, envy based practice for which the Republicans have rightly chastised Democrats for years. You know, when Dick Gephardt or some other Demo doofus prattles on about “tax breaks for the rich” as if he really didn’t long to be in that tax bracket himself. Since Earley is pretty well heeled he foolishly comes off sounding like a 1930’s socialist. Look, if the G.O.P. thinks it is clever to attack success, and indeed Mark Warner has been successful, then what does the party stand for? Warner was the first of his family to go to college, and he made his success by hard work and shoe leather. He should be a Republican poster boy rather than being derided for making it. And he has raised more money (not his own) for this campaign than both the Republican candidates put together. Now, about the notion that “he lacks experience”. Remember that this comes from the same guys who have been arguing for term limits. You can’t have it both ways, fellas. And did this argument not apply when you won your first election? According to this line of reasoning we should only support career politicians like the ones who just made a complete hash of the last General Assembly. With all due respect, Governor Gilmore and his prickly cronies couldn’t direct a two car funeral. I guess y’all can tell who I’m supporting this time. High-speed chase ends in arrests Preparedness week, June 3-9 Hurricane Preparedness Week is June 3-9 and tips are available by logging on at www.vdem.state.va.us. Hurricanes are bom and thrive in the ocean, but they can also have disastrous effects far inland. Heavy rains from weakening tropical systems have led to some of Virginia’s worst disasters. The Virginia Department of Emergency Management, in cooperation with the National Weather Service and local emergency management officials, offers tips and advice to protect lives and reduce damage before, during and after hurricanes. Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Deputy Gary Jenkins arrested an Alexandria man early on the morning of June 2 after a pursuit across county lines at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour. Kevin Scott Henry, 37, was charged with reckless driving, driving while intoxipated-felony, and eluding. The incident began at about 2:15 a.m. when a \voman identified as Henry’s girlfriend came to a residence near Sperryville, claiming that Henry had pushed her out of his Toyota pickup truck, and had driven off with her purse and other belongings. She alleged that Henry was intoxicated and was still driving in the area, so the Sheriff’s Office was dispatched immediately. Dep. Jenkins encountered the suspect vehicle outside of Sperryville, and when he did not stop, began pursuit. Henry proceeded eastbound on U. S. 211 at speeds from 60 to over 100 miles per hour. The Fauquier and Culpeper County Sheriff’s Offices were alerted that the pursuit was coming their way. The chase went through Rappahannock County and into Culpeper County. At that point, Henry found himself a slow-moving vehicle and pulled over to the side of the road just west of the Culpeper-Fauquier county line. The driver of the second vehicle, apparently confused by the activity around him, also pulled over. Dep. Jenkins arrested Henry, and a Culpeper deputy on the scene arrested the driver of the second vehicle, whom he determined was also intoxicated. Si urpriSe The evening last, upon my bed my eyelids heavy., “sleep,” they said. The covers beckoned, and my pillow was poised but, from downstairs interrupted, a clattering noise. “Hmmm.” I thought, with visions of disaster would 1 find a pile of ceiling plaster ? “Oh no,” I thought of my father’s clock upon the floor, Oh, horrid shock, and did I remember to lock the lock? Should I even bother at this late hour, to check those noises., to leave my bower? reluctantly, and hesitant down the steps went my decent. Would this be a trip that I ‘d repent? Upon the landing 1 stopped and stared my painting was down, but the lamp was spared. But there, with beady little eyes its body black and wound round high was a HUGE black snake, and he wasn’t shy. He wondered what I was doing there and why. My heart stopped beating for a second or two while I thought wildly of what to do... I thought of brooms, and sticks and groused “This is why we need men in the house.” “Ah ha,” I thought with some satisfaction I’ll call for the sheriff for interaction.. Upon the phone I stated the scene they guessed it a black snake, and not at all mean. I thought that encouraging, as I stifled a scream. So I talked to myself, and stood guard with my broom while an eerie fear took over the room then I opened the doors, and turned on the lights, so my Saviors would know the place of my fright. Very soon I heard a comforting voice, and my unerring gratitude relinquished my choice. (While the 6 foot body silently slid beneath a towering bureau he coiled up and hid.) My watching interest became intense as the bothered snake became incensed A rake was placed behind his head his body twisting, I could sense his dread.. I’m sure he was wishing he stayed in the shed. A brave soul bent and his neck was grasped his body followed, writhing but clasped., then, out the door, with a question he asked “where would you like him?” “ In the next county?” I laughed.. Cynthia Stamps Woodville With gratitude to the Rappahannock Sheriff’s office More Letters Setting the record straight A petition is being circulated in Amissville that asks signatories to oppose any lighting ordinance in Rappahannock County. This petition suggests that this ordinance was proposed by the Amissville Area Community Association. This is entirely false! Currently AACA has taken no position on the Intrusive Lighting Ordinance. We, like everyone in the county, are interested to learn more about the ordinance being discussed by the County Planning Commission. We all need to know more about its goals and how it could work before we commit ourselves to positions. As a community, we all have various concerns to be taken into account. Security and safety are as much a concern to all of us as the beauty of the night sky and the ability to show our children the stars. Any ordinance must take all these into account. Its charter (which is at www.amissville.com) commits AACA to retaining the scenic and rural character of our area. It also provides a forum for community dialogue, inform and educate residents on issues of importance, and express positions on behalf of the members and community. Educating members on this topic and determining residents concerns, in fact, was the agenda of the May meeting! The petition asks residents to take a stand against an ordinance that does not exist, and has not even been formally presented by our County officials. Shouldn’t we fully understand the proposal and lighting technology before committing to a position for or against? To assist county residents in this, AACA proposes a series of newsletters and presentations designed to make us all smarter on lighting, lighting management, and available technical solutions. These will be public events to which everyone is invited. The meeting’s goal is to give all residents a chance to review the proposed ordinance and engage in an exchange of views. We encourage all Amissville residents to attend and personally inform themselves of the issues, and make their voices heard. Our county faces a number of other serious challenges, including; development pressures, funding for public services, and maintaining our rural character. Perhaps the process we are undertaking on the lighting issue can offer a guide on how we can together address these. Steve Miller Chairman Amissville Area Community Association Thanks extended to volunteers big hearty thank you to ill the volunteers who came out to help in the Sperryville Cemetery cleanup on Saturday, June 2. What an amazing improvement! However, we still have at least a day’s work ahead of us in trimming and pruning. So we have scheduled another cleanup day for Saturday, July 7 Beginning at 8 a.m. For those of you who were unable to join us this past Saturday, we hope you’ll be able to make our next cleanup day. Once again, we ask that you bring whatever tools you nave that may be of use in general cleanup and trash removal, trimming grass around headstones and markers, pruning shrubs and trees, etc. Cold drinks and snacks will be provided. We nave the main entrance looking quite nice now. It would look even better if the gates which were removed approximately six months ago were returned. Anyone with information regarding our missing gates is encouraged to call Carson Johnson at 987-8720. Thank you once again. The Sperryville Cemetery Ad Hoc Maintenance Committee

His earlier work here will probably mean that the proposed survey can be completed at a relatively low cost, and an estimate of $20,000 has been given. Under the cost-sharing f>rogram, the State and the ocal jurisdiction would each contribute half of the required funds. Judging from offers of support made during the public comments portion of the meeting, the County may not have to use taxpayer monies for an historic inventory. Many spoke of the benefits to the County of such an effort, and Bob Dennis, President of the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA), noted that an anonymous donor had contributed $10,000, and may contribute an additional $5,000, to the RCCA to be used for the survey. Mr. Dennis said that his organization would soon present a check to the County for $10,000. Marilyn Hawkins, representing the Rappahannock Historical Society, said that the Society’s board unanimously supports an historic survey, and offered in-kind contributions such as office space and staff assistance to researchers. Others expressing support for the survey included Steve Miller on behalf of the Amissville Area Community Association, Jim Gannon on behalf of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, Franklin Warner, Jeff Light on behalf of the Lion’s Club, Buck Payne in behalf of the Sperryville Gateway Committee, Barbara Sherwood on behalf of PEC, and Rick Kohler.

It will not be possible to announce the results of Tuesday’s game in this week’s Rappahannock News, but next week’s edition will have full coverage of the event. This Regional Championship is the first for any RCHS team since 1976. 4th of July parking dollars okayed Charlie Tompkins of RAAC appeared before the Board of Supervisors to request that they again support this year’s celebration by providing funding so that local residents can avoid parking fees. Mr. Tbmpkins said that last year’s celebration was a success because of the “Supervisor’s largess” and that more local residents attended because of the elimination of parking fees for them. Supervisors Bryant Lee^ Bob Anderson, and Chair Pete Estes all agree“d and noted the thanks received from County residents. Mr. Anderson moved to approve up to $3,000 to RAAC to offset parking fees for County residents, and Mr. Lee seconded the motion, commenting that this was “one opportunity to give something back that the people will enjoy.” The motion carried unanimously. Volunteers sought for Alternative School Z Funding Committee :: The Board discussed response to the recent call for volunteers to become members, of a “Citizen’s Committee to* Study Alternative School» Funding.” Mr. Lee reported! that he had two volunteers; Mr. Frazier reported two vol- * unteers; and Mr. Welch report- ’> ed one volunteer.

By Jim Bywaters • Rappahannock News Writer It’s almost summer, which means hackyards everywhere are filling up With the sparkling lights of fireflies. Fireflies are the same thing as lightning bugs, it just depends upon where you live and what you were taught as to what you call them. They can be called either lightning bugs or fireflies. As darkness begins to fall, our dieadows and yards are lit with a myriad of little lights that dip and flutter like tiny searchlights over the landscape. As a kid it was fascinating to watch them perform. We took a great delight in catching them and holding them in our hands as the bugs turned their lights on and off. , I am sure you can remember timing evening play to coincide with the time lightning bugs appeared because chasing them was such fun. We would chase them until we had caught quite a few, put them in a jar, and walk around in the twilight with our twinkling stars in glass containers. But, fireflies are not flies at all. They are actually soft-bodied beetles of the Lampyridae family. They Tange in size from 1/5 inch to one inch in length. Male fireflies have wings and are relatively good fliers. The females, on the other hand are not good fliers and some are completely wingless. The wingless females and firefly larvae (larvae is the stage of development between an egg and a grown-up firefly when it looks like a worm) are often called glowworms. The adults are short-lived and eat little or no food. They are nocturnal in habit, resting on the leaves of cool, damp bushes during the day. The female lays a hundred, or more eggs at the base of a plant in a damp, moist place, generally near a stream. The larvae hatch and live for one or two years in the soil. We all know that fireflies light up, but how? And why? Not to get too technical but just enough to explain this interesting occurrence, fireflies emit a light from their abdomen as a result of oxygen from the air and two chemical substances. The chemicals are luciferin and luciferase. Luciferin is an organic compound that is acted upon by the enzyme (a protein that causes chemical reactions to occur) luciferase. Luciferase is made in the' cells of animals like fireflies and it is impor tant to bioluminescence. Bioluminescence means the firefly can in the first place. This “light” given off by fireflies has often been called “perfect” because it is a light that does not waste energy as heat. For example, if you have ever touched a light bulb after it has been on for a while, you will notice that it is, of course, hot. This same heat does not occur with fireflies. But why do fireflies give off light? Male fireflies have certain patterns of light flashes that they use to attract females. The females normally flash their lights back in response to the males. Just how you and I talk to communicate, the fireflies flash their lights. And while other insects can produce light, fireflies are the only insects that can flash their . lights on and off in distinct sig| nals. I The ones we see flying around I are the males of the species. He is f doing a mating dance to entice females. Some females do not fly, they sit in brush or bushes and respond by flashing their lights. This is how they find each other. Different species fly at different times and give off different signals. Another reason for the light is that it tells birds and other insects that fireflies are not a good meal. Like the orange color of a monarch butterfly, or the yellow stripes on a wasp, the light on the end of a firefly lets predators know to avoid eating them. The chemicals that make the light are bitter and birds do not like to eat them. A third reason fireflies light up is to warn other fireflies of danger. Distressed insects almost always attract insects of the same species, bees will come to assist other bees. If fireflies are caught in a spider web they will begin distress flashing to warn others. They will do the same thing if they are caught and put in a jar. Here is a neat trick to try. you can attract the male firefly with a tiny flashlight. The male will flash every five seconds and he makes a dip, kind like a “j” painted in light. Wait exactly two seconds after their flash to give an answering flash. Males will come to you looking for a mate. When fireflies abound, catching them is a favorite summer pastime. It is one of the few- activities that bind the generations together, even today kids will leave their video games and go out and catch fireflies. Enjoy this truly remarkable creature, but remember to release the fireflies from the jar. Flint Hill bird watcher Jim Bywaters welcomes reader mail, responses, suggestions, P.O.

I remember what a job it was to make jelly, jams and preserves. We would go out in the field and pick wild strawberries, and other berries in their season, by the bucket. You knew how good they would taste with a hot biscuit and butter. This made the job a little easier. Picking the small wild strawberries wasn’t too bad, but removing the stem on those small berries took forever. When the preserves were made, it was real thick, dark red and delicious. It was necessary to find the time to make jelly and preserves for the long winter months ahead when the fruit ripened throughout the summer. This was not an easy job as we only had a wood stove. This would get the kitchen so hot on a summer day with only the use of a fan for cooling. The process is so much easier now. You can freeze the fresh fruit or freeze the prepared juice until you have the available time. To make jelly you use only clear juice and this makes a clear jelly product. Jam is fruit and juice together. Preserves are made from the whole fruit. When the fruit was too ripe or bruised to make a smooth texture, you made the butter. Chutney was usually fruit with spices added to make a sauce. This was used mostly with meat. Sperryville By SALLY KEYSER 987-8471 All of these can be made from peaches, strawberries, plums, crabapples, currents, pears, cherries, apples, raspberries, blackberries, wineberries, persimmons, all of these are most common. Peppers and tomatoes are used as well. No matter how you make the jams, jellies and preserves, the recipes are all approximately naif fruit and half sugar. Our mothers knew that certain fruits made good jellies (when pectin was a natural part of the fruit, or which to add together). Today we know that jelly and jams will set up when the proper amount of fruit, pectin, acid and sugar are present. Almost all fruit can be used. The proper way of sealing jelly years ago was to use Eararnn. This was wax you eated and poured over the top of the jelly after it was put in the jar. This prevented air from reaching the fruit which caused mold or spoilage. Then it was stored where it was dark and cool until it was needed in the winter. Now it is recommended that the jars be sealed in a hot water bath to protect the contents. Jams, jellies and preserves have been an important part of rural life. It was eaten at almost every meal and was a staple for many lunches for school, (before cafeterias) as well as after school snacks. So making the most of the supply of fruit was a very important way of life. There are several fruit stands that can supply you with the fruit if you are interested in trying to make this old fashioned treat. Strawberries are in season now. June will provide cherries, while July brings blackberries and wineberries. Wineberries are not native plants to Rappahannock, but they have sprung up in the last few years. They make a beautiful red jam, similar in color and texture to red raspberries. July also brings peaches while grapes follow in August. September is apples. If persimmons are used you must wait until after a hard frost, which is late September or early October. Although creating your own jelly and jam certainly takes time, it is a rewarding experience to provide these special treats for your families. They also make nice gifts for giving as well. Pull out just about any cook book and you will find guidance and recipes for making your own. My Mom’s Homemade Strawberry Preserves 1 quart firm ripe berries 5 cups sugar Wash and cap berries; cook fruit without sugar for three minutes; add three cups sugar and cook for three minutes; add two cups more sugar and cook three minutes longer. Pour into an earthen crock. Let stand for three days stirring occasionally. Put into jars and seal cold. (Cook means a full rolling boil - one that cannot be stirred down). Our condolences to the family of Shelby Atkins. He was such a special person to those who knew him. He will be missed. Some of the folks from Rappahannock visited Mr?.

Crime Does Pay Up to $10,000 reward for tips on auto theft. 1-800-947-HEAT iJnAjiL'iLng [^Jtioucjtits. by Randy Minter Tears Of Sadness In rites of mourning and birth, tears have always been deeply intermingled with the human heart and the history of mankind. While it seems such a simple,spontaneous, and instinctive act, crying is something of a mystery. Scientists have been able to ascertain that tears shed in emotion are different from reflex tears (shed while peeling an onion), but they are at a loss to explain why women cry more than men. Is it, as many suspect, a matter of social convention? What is known is that tears help relieve emotional stress, and to suppress them is to invite physical stress. Tears should be allowed to flow as an expression of the sadness that wells in the heart. We are often so trained in the niceties of social convention that we rarely feel free to let our feelings show. But, for ourselves, as well as for others, we , need to feel permission to grieve and to support those around us who are grieving. At the Moser Funeral Home, we are known for the high quality of our service and for treating our customers with sensitivity and care. We’re at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton. For answers to your questions, call 347-3431. “ They that sow in tears shall reap in joy." - Psalm 126 - Flint Hill notes Clegg of Colonial Heights and three grandchildren.

Smoot siblings gather By Wayne Baldwin Rappahannock News Writer On May 5 siblings of my brother-in-law, Bobby L. Smoot, gathered at the Washington Fire Hall for, what seems will become an annual event. This particular day, all six af the Smoot brothers and sisters came together for one of the few times in their adult lives, having not held such a reunion in recent years. Some 34 members of this family, which included three aunts and some in-laws celebrated. Bonnie, Allen, Rodger, Bobby, Debbie and Sue (who arrived late) are now separated only by geography. Becoming re-acquainted in latter years, they are rediscovering each other, bits and pieces of their lives when together as a family when children. Some had pictures, athers little mementos but collectively they all had memaries they shared, even if they were fragmented memories. That place and time so many years ago, which was so quickly and drastically altered with the untimely death of their mother at age 32 in an automobile accident in 1964. Then came the illness of their father who died SIBLINGS GATHERED: The Smoot children gathered at the Washington Fire Hall on May 5 for a reunion. Pictured left to right, Debbie Smoot Woodard, Bobby Smoot, Rodger Smoot, Allen Smoot and Bonnie Smoot Keys. Not pictured, Sue Smoot Grim. in 1974. So six children were dispersed among various homes to be reared by foster parents. Their father, Ernest Edward Smoot, had been born in Rappahannock in 1907, a son of Spencer E. and Lucy Riley Smoot. Ernest had married first Jessie Fincham. They had two sons and then divorced, the two sons, halfsiblings to the six above named, are both now deceased. Their mother, the second wife of Ernest Smoot, was Bessie Pearl Nicholson. They had married in Warren county on Feb. 15, 1958. She was a daughter of Odie Washington and Lizzie Corbin Nicholson, two more family names with deep and long roots in Rappahannock and Madison Counties. The Smoot family traces its ancestry to one William Gardening tips By Kenner P. Love Extension Agent, ANR Crop and Soil Sciences The following are gardening tips for the month of June from the Rappahannock County Extension Office. • Disinfection of pruners between cuts is recommend when removing diseased tissue from plants. Most authorities recommend a one in ten solution of bleach and water, but it can be cumbersome to carry a bucket of this mix about in the garden, and the solution is corrosive and must be rinsed from tools after use. A household, disinfectant spray that doesn’t damage tools can also be used, and a spray can is easier to carry. • Precision placement of fertilizer in the row near the root zone of vegetable plants reduces fertilization costs, does not stimulate between-row weed growth, and may help reduce fertilizer contamination of runoff water. Side-dressing, a technique to fertilize established vegetable crops, is beneficial for adding fertilizer when it is most needed by the crop. • If weed plants are mature, plan to weed your garden early in the morning when moisture is present to prevent the seed heads from shattering and dropping weed seeds in the garden. • Cucumbers have a very short “vine storage time”. Under warm, humid conditions, fruit on the vine may remain in prime condition for less than 12 hours. For the best tasting cukes, pick early and often. The fruits can be stored for up to two weeks at 45 to 50 degrees F and 95 percent relative humidity. Lower temperatures cause chilling damage, and higher temperatures encourage yellowing. Yellowing is also accelerated if cucumbers are stored with tomatoes or apples. • Yellow crook-neck or straight-neck squash tastes best when four to seven inches long. Pick when pale yellow (rather than golden) and before skin hardens. Scalloped (patty pan) squash is best when grayish or greenish white (before it turns ivory white) and is still small, even silver-dollar size. • Drought or hot, dry winds can cause pepper blossoms to drop. Mist plants with water twice a day to help retain blossoms and set fruit. For additional information call the Rappahannock Extension Office at 675-3619. We Finance Country Living! Your dream home.

He was a boat wright by trade and sailed for Virginia in the mid 1600’s after procuring a job here, settling in York County. From York County the family moved into Charles County, Md. and several generations later descendants moved back into Virginia. By the late 1700’s an ancestor was in Prince William County. In 1829 their greatgreat-granHfather was born in Culpeper County, and in 1853 was married in Rappahannock. The aunts, Florine Nicholson, now a resident of Culpeper Health Care Center, Dolly Nicholson of Woodville, and Louise Tarman of near Martinsburg, W.Va. attended the affair.
