The Rappahannock High School Girls’ Varsity Softball Team is the 2001 Single “A” Virginia State Champion. On Tuesday, June 5 the Region A runner-up, the Lady Trojans from New Kent High School came to town. They had been beaten by the Lancaster High School Lady Red Devils 1 - 0 to finish the Regional Tournament as the runner-up. They came to Rappahannock County to face the Region “B” Champions in the first-ever, State Quarter-final game hosted at RCHS. Before a home crowd of nearly 300 enthusiastic fans, the Lady Panthers put on quite a show. The speed and bunting of the home team totally unnerved the girls from New Kent. When it was over, Rachel Sharp had struck out 13 and the Panthers had burned the New Kent nine for six runs. The final score was 6-1 and the Softball Team was on to Salem, Virginia for the State semi-finals. On Friday night, June 8 the Lady Panthers took the field at 8 p.m., as the home team in the semi-final game of the State Tournament. Their opponent was the Lady Blue Devils from Castlewood High School in Castlewood, Va. The Castlewood Team was the region “D” Champion and entered the game with a 20 and 1 season record. They weren’t prepared for what they were about to witness. The large contingent of Rappahannock County fans that attended the game that night knew exactly what was in store for the Castlewood side. Sophomore pitching Ace, Rachel Sharp, set down the Lady Blue Devils one, two, three in the top of the first, with three straight strikeouts! Then the Lady Panthers struck. Junior Gwen Johnson, the first year stellar catcher, led off the bottom of the first with a slashing triple to left field that had the crowd buzzing. Freshman speedster, Ryisha Cook, followed with the patented, Rapp bunt that scored Johnson and put the high-flying Cook on the base paths. The rest was history. Although the score was only 3-0 in favor of the Lady Panthers, it See CHAMPIONS, Page A8 CHAMPIONS: The RCHS Girts’ Softball team celebrated their State Championship victory on Saturday, June 8 in Salem.

Top photo/Cathy Kreyling Right photo/Barbara Wayland Budget public hearing evokes advice By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer The evening session of the June Board of Supervisors meeting was dedicated to two issues: a public hearing on the County budget for the next fiscal year and a discussion and action on redistricting. Though the evening session was sparsely attended, speakers were in accord on the need to control County spending. Stonewall-Hawthome District resident John Kiser initiated public comment with a discourse on the growth of County budgets and taxes and the need to control spending. He expressed his pleasure at the Board’s cuts to the school budget, and said that he hoped the Board would cut it more in the future. Mr. Kiser said that when he came to the County the locals said, “If it doesn’t exist in Rappahannock, you don’t need it.” He noted that that attitude had changed and that “more and more are suffering the malady of the rich—instead of using your head, ask what it cost.” He suggested that those asking for money should be forced “to ask if this (the desired program or item) is a need or a want,” and that they should look for ways of funding before relying upon tax dollars. He implored the Board to “figure out ways of getting your spending institutions to spend less, or risk the Rappahannock becoming “a rich man's ghetto.” Joy Sloane and Franklin Warner agreed with Mr. Kiser, and Mr. Warner suggested that, in the future, budget requests from County government offices and agencies he limited to a percentage of growth over the prior year’s budget. Supervisors discussed the budget after Chairman Charles K. Estes closed the public hearing. Biyant Lee said that he thought that the Supervisors had “done a portion of our job” by making cuts to the proposed school budget. Ron Frazier voiced his agreement with some of the public hearing speakers and said that “if there is some way we can tie budget increases to revenue growth, we’d be doing what the people asked for.” Roger Welch said that when he ran for office the first time, he ran against tax increases but, he said, “Now here we get people asking for more and we have to raise taxes. I’m in agreement—we have to stop—we can’t spend more than we get.” The Board of Supervisors will adopt a County budget for Fiscal Year 2002 on June 25. Supervisors select Reaistricting Plan The Board discussed the remaining two redistricting proposals that were developed as a result of district population imbalances identified in the 2000 census.

RCPS News By Jan Make la Volunteer Coordinator Public School System • What a great spring this has been! So many incredible achievements at both schools! It has been said that life can be frustrating when you are always looking ahead at how far you need to go. Occasionally, you must look back and celebrate how far you have come.

That’s the message that we hope all potential volunteers will hear. • Volunteers from throughout our system were invited to attend the Band Concert on Sunday as our special thank you to them for all that they do for our children every day of the year. As we looked around the high school auditorium it was difficult to find anyone that has not volunteered in one way or another this year. Many thanks to everyone. The phenomenal things that have been accomplished this year would have been impossible without your help. • Local singer and songwriter Paul Reisler and a group of talented performers and technicians have been busy making a CD of children’s’ music that is due to be released in September. Featured on the CD will be RCPS Band students, children’s voices from across our county and songs written by RCES students as part of Mr. Reisler’s Artist in Residence program at RCES last year.

SOL gains cap great year By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer “This has been a good year in many, many ways,” School Superintendent Dr. David Gangel said at the end of his report to the School Board. He referred to the State Softball Championship brought home by the Lady Panthers, the success of the band and chorus, the great reception given to last week’s performances of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the high school “and it goes on and on and on,” he said.” He added, “When it seems it can’t get any better . . .we get the SOL scores.” Dr. Gangel provided the School Board with preliminary SOL test results for the iyear, and they show exceptionally solid performances at the elementary and middle school levels, and mixed results at the high school level. The third, fifth, and eighth grades passed all of the SOL tests, and showed general improvement in both overall pass rates and in the numbers of students who passed with scores at the advanced level. Third grade scores averaged 75.3 for the four tests taken, and scores rose over last year in all areas. The fifth grade averaged a remarkable 85.4 in their six SOL tests, and in only one test area did scores decline, and only slightly, from last year’s results. Eighth graders too scored well, averaging nearly 84.8 for the six tests that they took, and they also scored better than last year. High school results were less positive, with passing grades scored in seven of eleven tests, and improvements shown in four areas and declines in scores in seven. High schoolers performed well in English, the sciences, and world history. More from the Superintendent Dr. Gangel also reported on tentative end-of-year purchases that will include, if funds are available: final payments for the high school addition, noise suppression insulation in the building trades classroom, ten new computers, ten air conditioners for the high school, and cafeteria start-up funds for the next school year. School Board member Frank Warner asked that one of the air conditioners be installed in the high school cafeteria, and received assurances that to that effect. The end-of-year payout meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on June 28. According to Dr. Gangel, the elementary school will be available this summer for staff and summer school until July 20, when the new water tank will be installed. He also noted that the lagoon drawdown has been started and will be completed When school closes, after which pump and haul operations will commence so that the lagoon can be inspected and repair options determined. RCES summer school for grades two through five and for the rising kindergarten Jump Start program will run from June 25 through July 20, and attempts will be made to secure door-to-door school bus service for those children attending. Dr. Gangel announced that summer technology assistance will again be sought this year for computer and network installations and repairs, and that $5,000 should be available for students participating. He also announced an end of year celebration, scheduled for June 18 at 8:30 a.m. at RCHS, for all RCPS staff.

The championship game win was an “unbelievable moment,” he said, and he asked that when you see one of the team members, call them that - a State champion. Mr. Mills also reported that college recruiters in the stands were impressed too - he heard them ask, Where is Rappahannock County?” RCES Reading Specialist RCES Principal Raye Tupper and Building Team Leadership (BLT) member Deborah Flinchum presented the Board with their proposal for developing a reading specialist position at the elementary school. In the absence of funding for a reading specialist, the BLT and primary staff reached consensus «on a plan to create a slot for a reading specialist by combining this year’s four kindergarten classes into three first grade classes in the next school year. This can be done without creating overly large classes (each first grade class will have 18 students) because of enrollment declines. The reading specialist will be drawn from existing staff and will: teach struggling K-3 students; serve as a resource to K-12 teachers, and provide staff development in reading to teachers in K-12. The Board unanimously approved the proposal.

It seems that someone has written an idiotic, misguided, misinformed, and generally bubble headed letter to the editor of the Rappahannock News and has signed Bill’s name to it. This obvious impostor was pretending to respond to my column a few weeks back about the disease of addiction and its devastating effect on our society. It couldn’t have been Tieckelmann because he is bright and thoughtful and whoever wrote the letter went off in obtuse torrents of opinion that presumed things that were not only not in my column but were clearly contradicted by it. In fact, this Tieckelmann impersonator missed the entire point of the column. So, let me rephrase it as simply as possible so this person pretending to be Tieckelmann can grasp it. Addiction is not only a disease; it is a terrible, crippling, life wasting disease. It is chronic, progressive, and fatal. There is no cure, only abstinence, which because of the nature of the disease is very difficult to maintain. But treatment can work. And contrary to the letter writer’s belief, quality treatment is available. What “Tieckelmann” also missed was my own experience with addiction. I would assume that someone reading that particular column would respect that experience and the hard-won knowledge that came with it. But no, he magically knows more than I about my own disease, one I have lectured on nationally for 20 years. He even knows more than the coroner who signed my friends’ death certificate.

Excuse me for believing that all heroin is “bad heroin”. The job is not to legalize drug addiction by legalizing drugs, but to eradicate this crap from our midst, to prevent the first impressionable, susceptible child from indulging in drugs to begin with. Now, I think that it goes without saying that as long as there is a demand there is going to be a supply. So eliminating demand is the great and perplexing challenge. But neither can there be a supply without a supply, so what I talked about in the column was going after the dealers, those people in our midst who provide these hard drugs to our kids and to the addicts who already suffer. This Tieckelmann impostor would grant them “minority rights”. In my first “Up in the Hollow” I mentioned Mark Twain’s quote about the person “educated beyond his intelligence.” This person pretending to be Bill Tieckelmann fits the bill. And I am sure the real Bill Tieckelmann is glad that I have cleared this matter up. In memory of my husband J.T. and our father on Father's Day. God saw him getting tired, and a cure was not to he. So he put his arms around him and whispered “Come With Me". With tearful eyes we watched him and saw him pass away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating. hard-working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. We love you and miss you.

Continue that act of responsibility and professionalism. We congratulate them on their achievements and wish them well in future endeavors. Sixty-six students will receive diplomas and will be on their way to making a difference in society. Seventeen from the class are members of the National Honor Society. Twenty-four members will receive the Governor’s Seal (advanced studies diploma — 23 credits — with a 3.0 or better GPA). These are great accomplishments and we are proud of the Class of 2001. Rappahannock schools will close on Friday, June 15 with an early release at 11 a.m. Children will begin their summer vacations and we wish them all a busy and fun-filled summer. Teachers, principals and administrators have worked hard this past year and will appreciate the break, even though some of the staff will work throughout the summer months. And to the seniors we extend best wishes for much happiness and success and you travel the path of life. L Rappahannock Today Rappahannock News Photo/Barbara C.

From Dirt Roads to Lee Hwy. #9 By Don Aidette Rappahannock News Writer The vision for Lee Highway in the 1920s was remarkable. First, there was its overall concept. Running from New York City through Washington, D.C., and Virginia, on across the southern part of the United States to San Diego and then up to San Francisco, it was to be the southern counterpart of the Lincoln Highway. The two great heroes of the Civil War would be memorialized for all time; two oceans would be linked; and two great mountain chains, the Appalachians and the Rockies, would be spanned. Both highways would start in New York City and end in San Francisco. Second, in New York City, Lee Highway was to begin in mid-town Manhattan and head westward across the Hudson River over a truly awe-inspiring bridge. The proposed 57th Street Hudson River Bridge was gigantic; probably one of the most massive bridges ever designed. It was to have two decks. The upper deck was to have 20 traffic lanes, plus two pedestrian “promenades." The bottom deck was to carry 12 rapid transit trains connected to New York City’s subway system and railroad stations, such a Penn Station and Grand Central Station. A total of 32 lanes was being proposed. The 825-foot high towers of the bridge would have been the tallest structures in the world at that time. The width of the bridge was to be 235 feet. Next time you drive the current four-laned Route 211 in Rappahannock County, picture a bridge with a deck almost twice as wide. The bridge would have dwarfed the current George Washington Bridge. It would have served as a magnificent entryway for the transcontinental Lee Highway. Shipping interests opposed the bridge, as did the War Department. The Navy insisted that the bridge have a 200-foot clearance above the river, instead of its planned 175-feet. The 200-foot clearance would allow for the passage of Navy ships under the bridge. The* George Washington Bridge finally spanned the Hudson River in 1931, with a 200-foot clearance. That bridge was built where the river was the most narrow and cliffs on each side were the highest above the river. The third visionary aspect of Lee Highway was the Zero Milestone in Washington, D.C., a gift of the Lee Highway Association to the nation. This stone marker still exists and one can see it near the Ellipse by the White House. The suggestion for the milestone came from Dr. Samuel Myrtle Johnson in June 1919. He felt that there should be a place from which all road distances in the United States and throughout the Western Hemisphere should be measured. The concept was similar to that used by Ancient Rome. Roads set off from the Forum to the farflung comers of the Roman Empire. The Zero Milestone site was selected and a ceremony held on July 7, 1919, as the Army set off from that point on its transcontinental motor convoy journey to San Francisco. The permanent monument was then designed and set in plaqp on June 4, 1923. A Pacific Milestone was dedicated on Nov. 17, 1923. On that date, President Calvin Coolidge pressed a key in the White House, sending an electrical impulse, which was the signal to begin the ceremonies. A duplicate of the Zero Milestone, but in Grant Park, San Diego, California, marked where Lee Highway met the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Other milestones soon sprang up along Lee Highway. If milestones had been erected in Rappahannock County, Amissville would have been 58.9 miles from the Zero Milestone in Washington, D.C., Little Washington, 72.0 miles, and Sperryville, 103.9 miles. A fourth element of the vision of Lee Highway was the Arlington Memorial Bridge. When President Coolidge signed and sent to Congress the Arlington Memorial Bridge Bill, he presented the pen to Dr. Johnson. A Senate report on the bridge noted the bridge would provide “a magnificent entrance to Washington coming from Virginia (and) for the Lee Highway coming across the entire country from California*" The report continued, stating that, “As the traveler approaches Washington over the brow of Arlington Heights in Fort Myer there will burst on his view a panorama that has few equals in the world; once seen it will never be forgotten, and will live in the memory of the beholder forever as a perpetual inspiration to loyalty, patriotism and devotion to country.” Urban development has since crippled that vision. A fifth visionary aspect of Lee Highway was the boulevard concept. The ultimate plan for Lee Highway was for a 200-foot right-of-way from the Arlington Memorial Bridge westward 110 miles into Virginia to New Market and the Valley Turnpike. The stretch was to be called Lee Boulevard. As noted above, someone driving eastward on Lee Boulevard toward Washington, D.C., was expected to rise to the crest of Arlington Heights and be presented with a striking panorama of the capital city spread out befotfc them. Remnants of the original 200foot right-of-way still exist along Route 50 west of Fort Myers. Remarkably, Route 211 starting at Warrenton and running westward through Fauquier, Culpeper, Rappahannock, and Page County to New Market carries the boulevard concept down to the present day. The dual lane highway with a wide median, sweeping up and down through rural farmland, with spectacular views presented from mountain passes, still evokes the original vision of Dr. Samuel Myrtle Johnson. But, it is again feared that creeping urban sprawl will nullify the idea of a rural thoroughfare. And so we come to the end of this initial series on how Rappahannock County “got out of the mud” of dirt roads and helped bring Lee Highway through the county. Remnants of Old Lee Highway still exist in the county as narrow offshoots from the modernized Lee Highway. They dip down into dells and rise again to meet Route 211, snaking back and forth along the east-west length of the county. There once was a time when pleasure driving was in vogue, when the changing seasons and improvements in homes and fields were quietly observed by the discerning eyes of those on journeys. Perhaps this historic legacy needs to be remembered. Drugs hurt, illegally or legally I was very happy to read “Up in the Hollow #9” by Ben Jones in your May 30th issue. A relative newcomer to our county, it seems as if Mr. Jones is one of those that do “really care” about our community. I don’t know about Mr. Teckelmann from Washington. I am surmising that he is all for the legalization of drugs, attempting to convince us that with that act all of the problems would be solved. I wish that I could believe that concept. Maybe “three quarters of all drug overdoses are attributable to denaturants (cut) in street drugs, not to the actual illicit drug themselves”. Maybe the young lady in Mr. Jones’ article was partly responsible for her own demise, maybe she was completely responsible. I agree that it is most sad and pathetic when innocent children are hurt or worse during the Drug Wars. I disagree, however, with his statement that “if drugs were legal, only those using them would die”. Is that what the two emergency room physicians that you personally spoke with told you? Do they not see the number of innocent victims from car accidents, gun accidents and the like? Children that are hurt or killed because of their parents or caretakers not fulfilling their responsibilities to them because of their involvement with drugs. Are you telling us that this would stop simply because the drugs were legal? I have personally seen a life that is being destroyed by legal drugs turned to because the person could not obtain the illegal ones. Because the drugs that she is using at this time are legal, she is no more able to function in our society or care for her children or seek employment than if the drugs were illegal. It doesn’t matter, drugs are drugs, lead ing. to self-destruction and the destruction of homes and hearts everywhere.' Drugs are also against the law. This person that I am speaking about personally has been offered treatment repeatedly and it has been refused. She is a typical drug addict - she doesn’t believe she has a problem. She is very important to me, but I would rather see her incarcerated, than to see her on the streets, doing whatever she needs to do to get drugs, legal or otherwise. If drugs are legalized, will they also be free? Where will these users get the money to purchase these drugs? From experience, I can tell you that these people, after a few years of using drugs, especially after they are legalized and less expensive and therefore easier to obtain, will not be able to hold a job. Then will we issue some sort of government subsidy to pay for the drugs. Also, think about the children. These drugs would now be found in everyday homes, much like cigarettes or alcohol. Therefore, why not use drugs before school, during lunch, after school, during j dates, while driving? What * * 1 will be the ramifications ' i there? In reading Mr. Jones’ article, I find that he says “if you are using, get help, if you are dealing, get gone,” so I don’t understand Mr. Tieckelmann’s statement “like the young lady in question, our policy is to hunt them down like rabid dogs.” I believe that Mr. Jones’ last statement was “Let the dealers beware. Your days in Rappahannock are numbered.”. If Ben Jones is “leading the charge”, I’m right behind him. Drugs hurt, and will continue to hurt, illegally or legally! Ellen B.

She finished the night with a triple, double and single. The stage was set for the State Championship game on Saturday afternoon at 5 p.m. The Lady Panthers would face the Region “A” Champion — the Lady Red Devils from Lancaster High School from the eastern part of the state. The game had all the pregame tension of a winnertake-all contest. The Lady Panthers were the home team again and Sharp sent the Lancaster side a strong message in the first inning, striking out the first two batters and retiring the side without a threat. From there on, it was vintage “Rapp Softball” — fast and right at you. . Three first inning bunts by Johnson* Cook ana Sharp, together with a single by freshman Molly Burke and the score at the end jof the frame was RCHS 2 and Lancaster 0. That was all the offensive production Sharp would need as she shut the Lady Red Devils down on two hits, while striking out 10. Head Coach Jon Smythe said, “Tonight they played like Champions. They looked like champions when they took the field in their blue and gold uniforms, and they performed like champions throughout the entire game. No errors, no mistakes, tough in the clutch. They brought home a State Championship and I couldn’t be happier for them. What a wonderful bunch of young ladies. In everything they did this weekend, on and off the field, I was proud to be their coach and they were superb ambassadors of the county.” Members of the 2001 Virginia Single "A” Championship Team are: Head Coach Jon Smythe Assist.

They have been shot, poisoned, trapped, and even sprayed with chemicals. For several centuries man has been a sworn enemy to the crow. Yet, the crow has held it’s own, accepting and adjusting to eveiy new condition. Their numbers have been increasing steadily, Crows have an extremely good memory. When it comes to something to be feared, or where they placed food they have planned for a later meal, “a crow never forgets”. Scarecrows, cats, and many other tactics have been used to keep them away, but they are intelligent birds and can quickly outwit most traps. Any scarecrow that remains in the same place for severed days quickly becomes a perch, rather than especially here in the a wanunS sign. They are east. known for their invenThe crow is a ■ H*JP tive and often mislarge, heavy set, Af* chievous ways, all black bird. Mg¥W*\ their playful perCrows are gmf* \ sonalities, and black for a reason, it makes identification of their own kind easier. A their raucous calls. Crows are constantly communicating with one anoth crow can easily identify another crow in the distance because black is very visible during er. 1 hey have up to 25 different calls and seem to use them all. Their calls indicate danger, when food is found and the day. Most crows will grow to be 17 to 21 inches from the tip of their bill to the tip of their tail. They will usually weigh about one pound when fully grown. I am sure the crow is no stranger to local residents. The American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) belongs to a very unique family of birds, the -Corvidae. This family also includes jays, ravens, and other species that have one thing in common, intelligence. to generally keep in contact. Each call is critically important to the survival of the species. Crows begin their daily communications with each other from the first hint of dawn until dark. The screaming, scolding and assembly calls that are heard as a mob of crows pursue a predator serve to alert other crows. Upon hearing the call all crows are alerted to the presence of their most feared predators, which are owls and hawks. No other predator causes greater alarm and concern among crows than the owl, and for good reason. Owls take advantage of the crow’s habit of spending the night in large, communal roosts. Moving silently under the cover of darkness, the homed owl moves from perch to perch, easily catching the crows. With such easy pickings, the satisfied owl will depart, leaving the rest of the crows in a somewhat terrified state. However, I have seen crows discover an owl unprotected during daylight hours and it seems like every crow for miles will assemble in an attempt to kill, or at least drive off the owl.. With hundreds of screaming crows hounding the owl it will try to make a fast escape and find a place to hide. Normally, crows in the wild qpn live to be 7-10 years old. Predators and disease often shorten this by a few years. Crows can be seen feasting at fast food restaurant parking lots, landfills or taking food meant for our outside pets. They will eat bugs, worms, road kill, mice, berries, com, and a variety of other things. An adult crow needs 11 ounces of fopd each day and will usually eat about anything that does not eat them first. They also eat the eggs and even nestlings of other birds. Who hasn’t seen one or two birds chasing a crow? They are usually attacking the crow after it raided their nest. Large White Pine trees in our yard are a favorite nesting site for Common Grackles, crows frequently raid these nests and usually fly away with a baby bird. The grackles chase after the crows but to no avail. Crows are highly social birds but are also cautious, if a person walking in the forest suddenly stops, any crows nearby will instantly fly away. It has been suggested that crows can count. A story is usually told about three hunters going into a hunter’s blind. They wait there and the crows know they are inside. The crows do not move into shooting range. Two hunters leave the blind, however the crows know that there is one more still inside. When the third hunter leaves, the crows know that all are gone and resume their normal activity. Whether or not this is true, I do not know. I have read it often enough that I am sure that someone has witnessed this occurrence. Remember, crows are not purposely trying to torment you. They are just being crows, trying to live their lives and feed their families. Actual property destruction is one thing that might require action, but just being annoying is something else again. Try to appreciate the crows for the fascinating creatures they are. Happy Birding! Flint Hill bird watcher Jim Bywaters welcomes reader mail, responses, suggestions, P.O.

Saving herself, as it was understood in 1905 when “The House of Mirth” came out, meant marrying. Only a rich husband will do, for Lily has expensive tastes: Already 29 and dependent upon a wealthy aunt, Lily knows that time is running out. “I have been about too long," she says. “People are getting tired of me." Director-screenwriter Terence Davies has turned Wharton’s examination of tum-of-the-century New York City society into an eloquent, heartbreaking work. Anderson is magnificent as Lily, giving a beautifully nuanced performance that captures the character’s blend of brains, imprudence, willfulness and generosity. She is aided by a fine cast, particularly Laura Linney as a malicious rival, Anthony LaPaglia as a Wall Street parvenu who in the end is more honorable than any of Lily’s high society friends and Dan Aykroyd, a lecherous benefactor who offers her money

This is the day of commemoration and celebration for all the Dads. It is not only to honor the fathers, but in this modem day, all who have acted as fathers in your life. Whether they be stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, or big brothers, who ever has been the father figure. Mrs. John B. Dodd of Spokane, Washington was the first to propose the idea of “Fathers’ Day” in 1909. She wanted to honor her father on a special day. William Smart was a Civil War veteran when his wife died in child birth, leaving him with a newborn and five other children to raise. When Mrs. Dodd became an adult she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. This is also true today with both parents. The first Father’s Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington. Other town and. cities across America were beginning to celebrate Father’s Day. In 1924 President Calvin Collidge supported the idea of a national Father’s Day. In 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Sperryville By SALLY KEYSER 987-8471 Each have their own way of honoring their father’s with cookouts, family gatherings, breakfast in bed, crayon scribbled, “I love you”, and of course gifts and cards. I cannot write about Father’s Day without remembering my father. He was born in what is now the Shenandoah National Park. He was one of 12 children. Back then times were very hard for both the parents and children. They attended school when they could and were not needed to work on the farm, this came first. Money was not as important as today, but their caring and sharing with their family was much more sincere. When he married at 36, he wanted far more education for his children than he had received. He worked long hard hours to provide for all of us. I loved him then, and will always love him for his devotion and for providing a safe happy life for each of us, and teaching us how important each one of us were. Fathers are very “Special”, so be sure to remember your dad on Father’s Day in a very special way. This is a poem, my daughter gave to her dad on Father’s Day many years ago. Dad I never really knew you, the way I wish I had. There was so much do-and you were always Dad. Mending mini bikes and building swings, and whistling all the while. Doing so many things to make life more worth while. How many dreams you must have had, That never did come true ‘cause you were busy being Dad—and that came first with you.

As they play together, the baby watches his father’s actions and reactions. As he grows older, some memories fade and some do not, but his child will ultimately learn to treat others by the way he is treated. Whether or not a Dad realizes it, he is role-playing. A father’s role is a challenging one. He puts much loving thought and careful consideration into developing his family. Proverbs 22:6 tells us... “Train up a child in die way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." God’s Word can be a constant source of strength and wisdom. May we honor fathers everywhere as we worship as a family this week. Our Heavenly Father is the ultimate example. When fathers interact with their children according to God’s Word, role-play is child’s play. Begin this week. .

These rituals help to counter the isolating emotion that comes with grieving. Few people are in a better direction, w ho can offer advice to those in need of it. there are a number of people who must confront death without any inherited faith of liturgy for support. These people may turn the the funeral director for guidance during this most disruptive period in their lives. By affirming the transcendence of life, we allow grief to find expression. Rituals are important, perhaps even more so as we get older. Because of how they remind us of our common human bonds. At the Moser Funeral Home, we believe that you have the right to count on us to support, which means we are comfortable with all members of a family as they deal w ith grief. Call us at 347-3431 233 Broadview Avenue.Warrenton. 24-hours a day. Bright View Cemetery is just outside Warrenton.

Independence Day celebration set By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer Though there is no way to miss the deadline for this year’s Rappahannock County Fourth of July celebration in Washington, the event organizer, The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC), is again on target with a fete that will be Rappahannock, Rappahannock and more Rappahannock. Building on the momentum from last year’s Rappahannock-oriented “Festival 2000”, the 2001 version, named the “William M. Carrigan Independence Day Celebration” in honor of the event’s past benefactor, will be even more of a Rappahannock County street party. Food will fall like manna from the largely Rappahannock-based corps of vendors. Salad and sandwiches again from Rae’s Deli, chicken and more from the Washington Baptist Church, lamb plus other goodies from the 4-H Club, burgers and other comestibles from the Sperryville Rescue Squad, steak and cheese from the Amissville Area Community Association, and gourmet goodies from the Sunnyside Farms Store which will celebrate its first anniversary on the Fourth of July. There will also be a wine tent this year for the first time (in the Sunnyside Farms Store parking lot) featuring wine tastings and complementary snacks from six of our Rappahannock wineries. Also new this year will be a flower and herb mart sponsored by the new non-profit, Rappahannock Bazaar. The Rappahannock Bazaar uses all of its proceeds to create and maintain recreational and other space for the County’s children and teenagers. There will also be a demonstration tent, this year featuring a broad range of skills that visitors can watch and learn, and an interactive creation of pottery and found items called “Creating the World” that will grow through the day with the artistic contributions of celebration attendees. Demonstrations not to be missed include painting, basket weaving, pottery making, tile making, lavender arts, sculpting, and paper making. Entertainment as always will be drawn from local and. nearby artists. Rappahannock’s Bobby Glasker will be the afternoon feature, Slim Harrison and his jug band will again be there, and the bluegrass trio of Auldridge, Bennett & Gaudreau will headline the evening’s musical fare. A parade? Of course! Fireworks? You bet! Parking? Free to County residents with a valid County sticker (and thanks again to the Board of Supervisors for that). There are still some vendors spots available, and the parade can always accommodate another marcher or two. Contact RAAC for additional information at 675-3193, or visit their web site at www.raac.org.
