Missing woman’s car found in Old fown investigating case as a homicide By Debbie Hearn Rappahannock News Staff Writer Town of Warrenton Police officers are employing all of their resources in a search for a Rappahannock County woman missing since last Friday. Jessica Pruitt, 19, of Castleton was last seen leaving Warrenton Chiropractic at 7 p.m. June 15, in the company of Maurice Bailey, 20, of Warrenton, according to Lt. Kerry White. Pruitt works as a receptionist at the practice of Dr. Michael O’Daniel. Pruitt has not been seen or heard from since that time, but the car she was driving — a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire, champagne in color — was found Sunday on Brookshire Drive, a dead-end street in a residential section of Old Town, White said. “Based on what we saw inside the car, we are very concerned about her safety,” White said. “We are treating this as though it were a homicide investigation.” Investigators, assisted by the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office and other law enforcement agencies, are searching for additional evidence that might locate Pruitt, White said. Over the weekend, two searches ^nrth* area where the' Car was found were conducted with the department’s canine, and officers conducted a grid search, working outward from a designated point to see if evidence could be found. An aerial search was conducted Monday afternoon and on Tuesday investigators continued interviewing people regarding the case. Bailey, who was questioned after the car was found, is currently being held without bond in the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center. He was detained after investigators learned he was wanted for failure to appear in court in Prince William County. He has also been charged by Warrenton Police with unauthorized use of a vehicle. Pruitt is a white woman, 5 feet 9 inches tall, who weighs 105 pounds. She has blond hair and brown eyes and was wearing a blue and white top, blue jeans and tennis shoes at the time of her disappearance. Anyone with information about Pruitt is asked to call Det. James Hartman or the Warrenton Police Department at 347-1107 or 347-1100. w. Rappahannock News Photo/Baibara C. Wayland FRIENDS PROJECT: The Friends of the Rappahannock Library recently took on a landscaping project as part of its mission of overall support for the library.

The Friends will also pay for the upkeep and maintenance of the gardens. Hophornbean trees have been planted and the common name for the shrubs are: Blue Mist Caryopteris; Heavenly Bamboo, Dwarf English Yew, Blackhaw, Marie’s Doublefile Vibum; Monroe s White Liriope; Periwinkle and Boxwood. * , Council tables Bank drivethrough By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer The Rappahannock National Bank (RNB), now owned by Union Bankshares Corporation of Bowling Green, Va., is seeking to improve its facilities by paving and enlarging its parking lot, making the lobby handicap-accessible, and by adding a single-lane drive-through. The Bank had originally submitted an application to the Town of Washington Architectural Review Board for Historic Resources in April for their determination as to the appropriateness of the proposed modifications, but in an eleventh-hour finding the Town Attorney and Zoning Administrator determined that the Town’s Zoning Ordinance dictated that the RNB apply for a Special Use Permit as well. The Bank’s application for the permit was heard by the Town Council in a public hearing at their June Council meeting. The well-attended hearing on the Bank’s request brought out two poles of opinion on the issue: there were those who expressed the view that the RNB’s hundred years of support for the Town should be reciprocated by permitting them to make the proposed modifications; and those who opined that the proposed changes are not in character with the Town’s historical ambiance. Town Attorney John Bennett held out the possibility that the Bank could not make any modifications because the present use is nonconforming and Town ordinances may prohibit any expansion of a non-conforming use. Mr. Bennett said that a final decision had not yet been made on such a prohibition, and that “the complete set of facts surrounding the application need to be put before the Council before a determination is made.” The Bank’s proposal was presented by CEO, Michael Leake, with support from project architect Susan Lacy, Union Bankshares Facilities Manager George Washington, Mrs. Leake, and Bank board members and employees. Mr. Leake referred to the RNB's history in the Town of Washington, and to its upcoming centennial anniversary in September. “The Bank has always been in the Town of Washington, and it’s the Ibwn s oldest business, he said. Mr. Leake described the Bank’s recent growth, and its need to better serve its customers by providing handicapped accessibility, enlarging the parking lot because of the lack of on-street parking on Gay Street, and by adding the drive-through facility “because it is a convenience that our customers and the citizens of Rappahannock County deserve.” After Mr. Leake completed his introduction to the RNB proposal. Mayor Stew Willis asked for clarifications on details including the number of on-street parking spaces eliminated by a 22 inch extension of the sidewalk into the right-of-way to accommodate the handicapped ramp and by new parking lot entrances, outdoor lighting plans, pneumatic tube details, and shrubbery removal. Town Attorney Bennett said that details for features such as lighting and the drive-through pneumatic tube could not be considered because they had not been included in the application, and that the plans submitted with the application would need to be amended to include the additional details. The Mayor opened the public hearings to questions on specific aspects of the Bank’s proposal, and then to general comments. Mary Jamieson was the first to express her an opinion on the proposal, and asked rhetorically,"... are we thinking long range about where See TOWN, Page A3 <»'■ : ; c.

RCPS News By Jan Make la Volunteer Coordinator Public School System • Whew! Another successful year completed in the public schools, and what a year it has been! • Graduates from RCHS are now on their way to becoming full-fledged, productive, contributing citizens of this wonderful country and we could not be more proud. Mr. Joe Perine, RCHS Principal, remarked recently that he has been in many school systems across the country and feels that he has a very objective perspective when looking at our students and staff. He feels that we have the most genuinely polite group of students of any school he has had the pleasure to visit; kids who fire selfless and willing to pitch in to help in a variety of ways. (From this Volunteer Coordinator’s perspective, those are seen as potential school volunteers!) He was especially grateful to have so many students show up to help with preparations for graduation. • Faculty and staff were given an opportunity to share special thoughts about individual colleagues at a staff breakfast on Monday morning hosted by Dr. David Gangel, Superintendent. The comments were sincere and genuinely affectionate and could be applied to any number of our staff members. So often we forget to take time to appreciate those around us, but when we do we feel extremely fortunate to be surrounded by such generosity and talent. • Ms. Shirley Frye is retiring from the RCES Cafeteria staff this year and (as Dr. Gangel remarked) “she and her sticky buns” will be greatly missed. Shirley has been a constant source of assistance and support for cafeteria manager Pat Jenkins for many years. • Third Grade teacher Mrs. Virginia Striplin has retired as well and will be moving to California to be closer to family. She has been a kind and gentle presence in our school system and we wish her well in her new life. • Mr. John Glass, Second Grade teacher, Ms. Ren Dietel and Mr. Michael Stout, Sixth Grade teachers, and Seventh Grade English teacher Mrs. Eva Atkins will all be moving on to new adventures as well. • At RCHS Art teacher Ms. Laurie Marshall, Science teacher Mr. Brion Patterson, P.E. teacher Mr. Donn Hackney, Math teacher Ms. Sherry Burke, Librarian Mrs. Beth Scott, Social Studies teacher Mr. Reed Gillespie and Business teacher Ms. Valerie Miller will be leaving us. It has been a pleasure being associated with all of these wonderful folks and we wish them all success in their new endeavors. • Two RCES students have achieved remarkable levels of success in the area of equestrian competition.

Congratulations from all of us! • Many thanks to the folks that have volunteered to write articles for the Panther Pause column throughout the summer. This is a wonderful opportunity for individuals or programs that support our public schools to tell the community about their special activities or services. I hope that everyone will find these to be interesting and informative. • Congratulations to Seventh grade teacher Lucy Ann (Pud) Maeyer for being selected by her peers at RCES to receive the Liz Tole Education Endowment award. Liz Tole was the mother of Dr. John Tole and an avid RCES volunteer. Her love of children was an inspiration to all of us who knew her. Each year the former recipients select another staff member whose traits embody Mrs. Tble’s kind and generous spirit and love of children. Former honorees are Ms. Candace Lamma, Mrs. Cindy Simpson, Mrs. Harriette Rosenblatt and Mrs. Pat Jenkins. • Each year in Seventh Grade the students are asked to select one of their own to receive the Liz Tole Student Award. The students are asked to select a fellow student that embodies the same positive characteristics. This year’s award was presented to Emily Hilscher. Congratulations! • Public service announcement: For those of you that are not yet aware, chicken pox is making the rounds in Rappahannock County. Recently four RCMS sixth grader contracted the virus. As you may know it can be much more serious for older children and is uncomfortable to say the least. In the initial stages the symptoms (lowgrade fever, headache and possible nausea) may be mistaken for flu. The itchy rash at firstsight may be confused with mosquito bites. You may wish to check with your doctor if you are unsure. • Summers in the public . school system are as busy for many of us as the rest of the year. Class schedules must be made, Adult Ed classes scheduled, staff training planned, textbooks inventoried, schools thoroughly cleaned and so much more. Many teachers will be taking classes; many others tutoring. Schools will be open throughout the summer, though the schedule may fluctuate due to building maintenance and other factors. Please call the schools or School Board office first to be sure the offices are open, before making a special trip, RCES 987-8259, RCHS 9878575, School Board Office 9878773). • Have a wonderful summer in Rappahannock! 5 Congratulations RCHS Class of 2001 and to the State Champion Lady Panthers!

Town rYom Page A1 Washington is going . . She added that she “didn’t come to ;he County to have a big-town sank . . .If you want a big;own bank—go to Washington, D.C.” Claudia Mitchell asked Mr. Leake if alternatives to ;he “big paved area” had been considered, and Mr. Leake said that they , had not. Mewbill Miller said that the Bank was not established a arecedence in proposing an enlarged and paved parking ot—”Just drive around Ibwn,” he said. Wendy Weinberg follow-up i long letter of opposition that she had sent to the Town Council and to the ARB with a nublic statement against the Bank’s expansion plans. She addressed her opposition to the expanded parking lot, noting that she has had no complaints about parking for events at her neighboring theater. She also suggested that a irive-though facility would establish a bad precedent for the Town—that other businesses could use a drive-in as well, and if the Council approved the Bank’s plans the requests by other businesses for similar facilities could not be denied. Mrs. Weinberg continued with a detailed analysis of Special Use Permit standards, and how the Bank’s application could not meet those standards. Family reunion set * The Weaver, Butler, Thornhill reunion will be held 5n Sunday, June 24 at the Rappahannock Park on US ?11 near Washington. Lunch kyill be served at 1 p.m. “Please bring a covered dish and join the fellowship and fun,” said a family spokesperson.

Special thanks to Rev. Jon IHeddleston, Rev. Wayne Richards and Found and Sons Funeral Home, » shown and given to us during the great loss of our loved one. May God bless you all. The family of Shelby G. Atkins Sharon Luke spoke in favor of the application. She noted that she is a director of the Bank, but that her support of the expansion plans were independent of that position. “I think that the Town is becoming an unreal place. I want the Town to be a real place—not a theme park,” she said. Robert Weinberg added to his wife’s comments with a similarly detailed statement of opposition to the Bank’s application. He said that the Bank could provide handicapped access without a Special Use Permit, and could have done so in the past. He addressed Mr. Leake’s comments on the Bank’s growth, suggesting that since they have been successful without the expansion they did not really need it. He also said that, “as far as he knew,” the Bank could not be expanded because it is already a nonconforming use. Mr. Weinberg also followed-up on comments on the inappropriateness of the proposed changes to the character of the Town and to the County offices across Gay Street. “Let’s keep the first Washington the way the first Washington would have liked it,” he concluded. After the close of the public hearing, the Council discussed the RNB application, the possibility that its present non-conforming use would preclude any expansion, and the addition information required. A comment by the Mayor indicated that he thought it would be difficult to render a decision on the application: “Who do we take care of?,” he asked. Mayor Willis successfully moved to table the hearing until July, at which time he expected additional information from the RNB and a decision by Mr. Bennett on the non-conforming use issue. Other activities • In the Treasurer’s absence, Mayor Willis presented the Treasurer’s Report, noting consolidated assets of $581,792.77 and Water Works assets of $8,947.11. • The Council discussion of the budget for FY2002 opened with a motion by Charlie Tompkins to delete the Treasurer’s salary. After much discussion, the motion was amended to take the Treasurer’s salary out of the budget for consideration at the July meeting, when the Treasurer is expected to return. The balance of the FY2002 budget was approved by a 3 to 2 vote. • After a second public hearing—this one on the new Town reservoir agreement with the Berrys—the Council voted unanimously for acceptance of the agreement. • The Council okayed two new water works taps requested by David Cole, and set a tap fee of $1600. • The Council appointed Claudia Mitchell and reappointed Donna Kevis and Patrick O’Connell to the ARB, and Jeanne Butler to the Planning Commission.

David Massie and Eagle Scout Advisor Darrow Kirkpatrick started to explore possible projects for David’s Eagle Scout Project in February 2000. Approximately 20 years ago, Eagle Scout Lee Baines built a podium and benches behind the elementary school as his project. David decided to rebuild an outdoor classroom on the same site. He presented his plans to the School Board in March 2000 and began the fund raising. David spent three months raising the $1,000 needed for his project. Before the building began, David and his fellow Boy Scouts and friends had to clear the area and remove the remains of the previous project. A total of 102 hours was spent on the planning and building of the project. It was completed in May and Long Mountain Nursery donated lovely hostas for landscaping around the amphitheater. An open house for teachers, administrators and supporters was held in May. Several teachers have already taken advantage of the Outdoor Classroom. It can be used for plays, poetry readings, nature study or just a chance to have class in a peaceful outdoor setting.

Positive thinking supports health By Carol Lucking It is now proven that positive thought patterns, inner peace and an optimistic perspective on life resolve not only psychological conflict but physical health, according to researcher Carolyn Miller, Ph.D. Medical research in the emerging field of psychoneuroimmunology traces the influence of thoughts upon the immune system and the health of certain organs. A renewed sense of hope is said to “work miracles” on physical conditions. Unexpected healings than cannot be explained by doctors, when the cause was clearly not the medical treatment alone, are called spontaneous remissions. Cancer surgeon and writer Bernie Siegel states in his book, “Love, Medicine and Miracles”, that “spontaneous remissions is the accepted medical term for a miracle.” The Institute of Noetic Sciences, established in 1973 by astronaut Edgar Mitchell, has been attempting to stimulate scientific interest in the healing power of the mind. While consciousness research develops, yearly conferences that allow professionals to share their findings are indicating evidence that a particular mental state predisposes one to experience spontaneous remissions. Although rigorous scientific research is not complete at this time, evidence suggests, through studying terminally ill patients who seemingly heal themselves, that they have some common, unusually consistent attitudes. Three components seem to exist. Patients report that before things began to improve, they went through some sort of a crisis, an Subscribe to the Rappahannock News. Call 675-3338.

They began to search actively for the meaning of their existence. They found their reasons for living and then lived their lives focusing upon what is really important to them. The second component was giving themselves permission to change their focus radically and finally do what they “want”, rather than what they are “supposed to do”. Often this meant redefining themselves, reshaping their sense of self that was molded by others. This rejection of other people’s expectations often seems to free the individual to begin the third component. Becoming immersed in activities and projects that are personally meaningful seemed critical to the healing process. This new interest was seen as bringing happiness, contentment and peace, allowing some to forget about being sick and finding reason to live again. Dr. Gerald Jampolsky, who founded the Center for Attitudinal Healing in California which supports catastrophically ill children and their families, encourages patients to work at recovering emotional equilibrium. Worldwide, physicians and health care workers are helping patients restore inner peace, chaiige beliefs and attitudes that produce fear, anger, guilt, anxiety and depression and help them connect to love, forgiveness, and spirituality. At the Center for Mind Body Medicine in Washington, D.C., Dr. James Gordon offers group support. One group is for cardiovascular patients. His focus is simple. Helping his patients find meaning and purpose, he teaches mind body skills. This includes meditation, yoga, the calming response, how to shift thought patterns to be positive and enriching, and to connect with their loving, forgiving God or their personal spiritual source. This spiritual connection is the key in many healing support groups that are offered through churches, Healing Arts Centers, Alcoholics Anonymous and healthy addictions programs. Finding the healing answers from inside while being connected to this source, instead of being told what to do by others, seems to be the key. It is well documented that healing takes place when there is acknowledgement of an illness, caring support from others, a desire to change and the hope that life can be better. True healing cannot take place in an environment of fear, shame, anger, punishment and isolation. Most people who have been through a transformation remember the people who cared, the ones who helped them focus on taking responsibility back for creating a healthier way of life, and the personal hard work they endured. As our medical professionals continue to research, document and experience healing as a spiritual-emotional-mental-physical phenomenon, those of us who care about building healing reat 4th Event 10 am - 9 pm Located beside the post office in Bealeton h on Route 17 North Come see Anne and Amanda as we try to make your 4-th of July the best ever!

While many physicians are coming to believe that there may be an emotional component to all disease, community programs with “heart” continue to spring up. Healing does not happen in a vacuum. With all the technology we have avaih able, it is still the human touch factor, the caring connection of fellowship, and the support and encouragement of others that makes the difference. When community members reach out, develop services and help those whose root cause is emotional pain find new patterns of thinking, new meaning and purpose to their lives andra renewed sense of hope in their community, then behaviors and lifestyles that are not focused on being victim, but on responsible creation of full potentials, can follow.

Dennis I learned from a news article the other day that my wife and I won’t be receiving the joint $600 Federal 2001 tax rebate President Bush’s protax-cut hype had led us to expect. Instead, because we fell below the necessary "‘taxable income” threshold for the year 2000, we’ll get more like $400. At first glance, it might seem fair that people of lesser income get less than the full rebate. In our case, however, we didn’t meet the taxable income minimum because of $12,500 of medical deductions due almost entirely to the hideous cost of health insurance (and we are basically healthy) in what was the final year before we both qualified for Medicare. In 2001, we may well meet the taxable income standard - but the 2001 rebate is to be based on our 2000 tax return. (Ironically, the 2001 rebate program is one of the factors that will make it difficult to fix our nation’s failing health care and insurance system.) This rebate quirk of the Great American Tax Cut led me to read more closely about other provisions. The whole thing turns out to be a hoax. As explained by the June 3 Washington Post, “the new bill turns the code into a kind of perpetual-motion machine, with rates shifting, benefits coming and going, provisions phasing in and phasing out until taxpayers’ minds reel.” Nothing better illustrates this than the much-trumpeted “repeal” of the Federal Estate Tax. The so-called “repeal” of the so-called “death tax” is in reality a contrived, dishonest sham. Oh sure, this tax is closed out on Dec. 31, 2009. But, Republicans and Democrats in the Congress passed, and President Bush signed, a law that goes on to reinstate the Estate Tax at the Guest Columnist end of Dec. 31. 2010. (So, if you don’t plan to die during 2010 and you don’t fully trust your heirs, maybe you ought to make reservations now for a year-long vacation at some highly secure spot.) Worse yet, the new law may even reincarnate the Estate Tax as it exists today (individual . exclusion of $675,000) rather than as it was about to become under previous law ($1 million excluded). Moreover, the new law provides that some assets previously passed on at their date-of-death value (“steppedup basis”) will now be valued as of the date they were originally acquired (“carry-over basis”), with capital gains taxes to be levied when sold. Having served as executor of two estates, I can report that there would have been no way that I could have determined the carry-over basis of real estate (and mutual funds and art objects* for which I was responsible. I believe that the tax-cut law renders rational estate planning impossible. Mostly, it will generate tons of new income for tax lawyers and CPAs. There is even some speculation that its convoluted provisions will prompt prudent owners of large farms to sell out before the end of this decade as the surest way of preserving family assets. Others argue that in 2009 or 2010 Congress “will be forced politically” to reenact the major elements of this year's tax bill, particularly including the Estate Tax repeal. But. I doubt we should count on that. In 2011. people born in 1946 will turn 65. escalating demands on Social Security and Medicare - and we all know what happened .when the young veterans returned from Europe and the Pacific in 1945. It is time for the President and the Congress to quit playing shell games and to quit lying to us. and instead to enact some real tax cuts and a simpler, predictable tax code - while leaving enough money in the Treasury to meet serious national needs.

Rappahannock Today The Virginia Angus Association has selected Woodville resident and farmer, Deirdre M. Payne, as the winner of the 2001 VAA handbook Cover Photo Contest. Her photo, titled “Green Grass, Black Cows and White Fence” has been placed on the cover of the Association’s 2001 Handbook. Payne’s photo was chosen out of several hundred entries from around the state. Dede, along with her husband Lee, raises Angus cattle on several properties in the county. The cover photo was taken on their farm Mont Elery in Laurel Mills. Letters Praise for “A job well done’ Praise, as defined by Webster, says: To express approval, to commend and to extol.

Other voluntary personnel from Rappahannock area headquarters, Jimmy Compton and Junior Jenkins for the secondary road improvement on a segment of Route 600 (Woodward Road) which had at its main focus and intent personal safety, accessibility and residential enhancement. The widening of this segment of Woodward Road truly reflects the enginery skills and professionalism that the users here in Rappahannock County can be justly proud and grateful. There is a small adjustment yet to be made by Allegheny Power Company and of course, subsequent work by others of guard rail installation. Hopefully, in the future 2 this improvement will even-*; tually embrace the entire segment between Route 667 « and Route 1001 in the village of Sperryville.

More Letters Quote misattributed It is wonderful to have a public forum in our community for such lively debates. To clarify any misperceptions regarding my letter to the editor of two weeks ago, the positions I expressed are commonly referred to as “medicalization” and “harm reduction,” not legalization. The wonderful quote, “a man educated beyond his intelligence,” that has twice appeared in your paper recently is misattributed to Mark Twain. “A highbrow is man educated beyond his intelligence,” was actually written by Brander Matthews, an American author and educator. A quote I like from Mark Twain is: “Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a Congressman. But I repeat myself.” I offer another of my favorite quotes from Mark Twain: “Good breeding consists of concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.” Mark Twain also quipped, “All you need in life is ignorance and confidence, then success is sure.” My heart goes out to all the people and families that have been touched by the effects of substance abuse. And my respect and congratulations to everyone who has fought against and conquered this illness in themselves. I myself struggle daily with an addiction to tobacco, which almost everyone agrees is the most deadly addiction of all. But we should all bear in mind that in most studies alcohol is implicated as a pri mary cause of spouse and • child abuse 60 to 70 percent of the time. The rate for all other drugs (legal and illegal) is between 13 and 20 percent. If we want to lead a charge anywhere, we ought to first get it straight who the enemy really is. As Mark Twain said, “You can’t depend on your pyes when I your imagination is out of focus.” Bill Tieckelmann Washington Appreciation extended to all for Civil War Days|i Some very thoughtful people sent a letter to the editor last week thanking us for sponsoring Sperryville Civil War Days on June 2 and 3. We were both surprised and pleased to see the kind sentiments of the folks who signed as “Main Street Neighbors”, and we appreciate their thoughtfulness. A great many other people also deserve thanks and recognition for helping make Civil War Days a success. We had wonderful support and participation from many local organizations, including the Rappahannock Historical Society, the Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table, the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, the Sperryville Rescue Squad and the Amissville Area Community Association. Additionally, numerous Civil War organizations joined to make the weekend a success. These included the John S. Mosby Foundation, the Brandy Station Foundation, the Southern Soldiers’ Remembrance Fund, and the Black Horse Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. These groups brought their interesting displays and provided much historical flavor with their men in gallant uni Kimberly Love Loan Offlcar We Finance Country Living! Your dream home.

By Jim Bywaters - Rappahannock News Writer »*', Like a well-rehearsed choir, the haale frogs sing an ascending trilllike b-r-e-e-e, lasting only one to iwo seconds. The call sounds similar to the sound made when running one’s thumb down the teeth of a‘stiff comb. The volume of all these ihale frogs singing together is often deafening. The large congregation o( singers is how they got their tiame. • i For readers experiencing the &9und made by this mysterious Amphibian at their homes, all I can sily is it should stop soon. For several weeks, at any time of day and daring varying weather conditions, these frogs begin singing or better described as a calling. Sometimes they “call” for hours and other times for just a few minutes. I inquired with our local county extension office, after reading the information they provided it seems the mysterious noise is an Upland Chorus Frog, i. Upland Chorus Frogs CPseudacris triseriata) are closely related to the common spring peep er. They spend most of their time a short distance off the ground in vegetation where it can stay moist, protected, and where they can feed on small prey items such as aquatic insects, but will take ground, preferring to stay in damp grass, weedy patches, and other short vegetation where some protection can be afforded and where food is easily found and tracked. Chorus frogs require tern just about any otner small land insect they can catch, such as ants and spiders. These frogs are relatively porary wetlands or shallow ponds, without fish, to breed. Hundreds of male chorus frogs pack into these small wetland depressions throughout the small in size (about one to two state to sing their hearts out to attract a mate. inches in total length), and are quite vociferous. The chorus frogs usually start Alter breeding, the female attaches masses of eggs (25-75) to submerged vegetation. An individual female can lay several maKing noise very early in the season when the first spring rains come and breeding should have finished by now. Chorus frogs rarely leave the nunarea eggs per season. The eggs hatch within 12-16 days depending upon the temperature of the water, the warmer the water the faster the development. After hatching, the tadpoles trans form into adult frogs in eight to ten weeks. The chorus frog is among the first frogs to emerge each spring. How frogs survive a winter is nothing short of a miracle. Most people think that frog’s over-winter buried in the mud at the bottom of lakes and ponds. Research is now showing that this is not true for many frogs. The chorus frog over-winters on land under rocks, and logs near the ponds they call home. Since they do not dig down below the frost line, these tiny amphibians will partially freeze. Something that until recently was thought to be impossible. The over-wintering frogs go through a process where the water within each cell in their body is replaced with an anti-freeze like compound called glycol. While this reduces the temperature at which the cell will freeze, it does not stop the cell from freezing. The glycol does not form pointed ice crystals that will puncture the cell wall like water would, this allows for freezing to occur but without damage to the cell wall. In spring the process is reversed and the frogs warm up and wake up, ready to repeat the cycle again. Enjoy the wonders of nature!

Carol Baliles to exhibit at Middle Street this month The Middle Street Gallery is fxcited to announce a showing of ; beautiful expressive watercolors by Washington area artist, Carol Jjumier Baliles, NWS. Meet the artist, Carol Lumier Baliles, who will be in-attendance on Sundays during the exhibition of her watercolors. She will be able to speak %ith you at that time about her art The show will continue through June 30, Friday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Ms. Baliles was formerly an assistant art director of the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Historic Old Tbwn Alexandria, where her studio is currently located. Her work has been in more than 60 fine art exhibitions, with awards and selections by notable curators. Ms. Babies’ art is described as semi-abstract realism. Watercolor is one of the most difficult mediums to work in because it demands precision, determination, concentration and instant decisions. Her paintings are to the extreme, both in design and color. The colors are molded and blended within the white paper. The effect is striking. White spaces allow the viewer to enter the image and to create within the infinity and purity. The pencil is the foundation, the color is the outward expression of her vision. These, combined with the white spaces make a trinity of energy. %'hv Public invited to Avon Hall !3f: Following in the tradition begun in the 1960’s by Mr. and Mrs. William Carrigan, the Estate of William Carrigan, invites the public to gather on the lawn by the pond at Avon Hall in Washington on the Fourth of duly to enjoy their picnic and watch the fireworks. Local authors turn out for the Fourth of July Rappahannock County’s own authors’ community will once again gather to sell their books at this year’s Fourth of July festivities in the town of Washington. Offering a wide variety of topics, including historic fiction and the ever-popular local histories, several of the authors will be on hand throughout. the day to sign and personalize their works. Among the books available will be Virginia B. Morton’s recently published Marching Through Culpeper, a , romantic novel that weaves historical facts of wartime Culpeper with fiction. Noted Civil War historian and author Clark B. Hall comments that “Granted, some may think it impossible and even bold heresy to relate a i wartime tale of intense love and human tragedy through the eyes and words of Civil War icons Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Jeb Stuart, A.P. Hill, George Custer, John Pelham, Robert Beckham, John Mosby and the incomparable Gray scouts Will Farley and Frank Stringfellow. . . . Did Mrs. Morton succeed in her labors? Absolutely. . . . I commend this terrific book . . .” Also of interest will be Irish Rebels, Confederate Tigers by James P. Gannon, a history of a mostly Irish regiment comprising 915 Confederate soldiers from New Orleans who fought in Virginia, marching through Rappahannock County. The surviving 55 men surrendered with General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox. Chronicling the county’s evolution from agricultural backwater at its founding in the seventeenth century to eclectic arts enclave and retirement community today, Laura A. Matthews’ A Ramble through Rappahannock remains a favorite. Achieved largely through personal interviews with local residents, this book’s historical/anecdotal approach reveals the natural disadvantages to growth and the man-made obstacles responsible for perpetuating the county’s decidedly rural character. And don’t miss Rayner Snead’s autobiographical Hollow Boy, a wonderful account of the retired judge’s life growing up in the Gid Brown Hollow of Rappahannock County; The View from Rappahannock II, Senator and one-time presidential candidate Eugene J. McCarthy’s amusing observations of contemporary county life; Elisabeth B. and C.E. Johnson, Jr.’s comprehensive, fact-filled Rappahannock County, Virginia, a History; and a host of books on other subjects ranging from flowers and landscaping to the Shenandoah National Park. Look for Rappahannock County’s local authors at the Ki Theatre on July 4th. Authors wishing to participate in the event should call Laura Matthews at (540) 347-0119.

Be sure to make the turn onto Route 612 and visit with him and his wife, Janet. It has always been important for a landowner to maintain an orchard and garden for food for the family and as an added income. Sperryvllle By SALLY KEYSER 987*8471 One of the few orchardist left in Rappahannock County is Roy Alther. When he and Janet grew extra produce and fruit, they would sell it to the local fruit stands. They both worked and had full time jobs. They would sell produce to their fellow employees. As sales grew they decided to expand their business by building a fruit stand in the corner of their orchard at their home with the garden and berries nearby. This was a family operation until their children graduated and continued with their education. When the local people learned about their business, it began to grow and has increased every year. This year he added new buildings to meet the public’s demand. He and Janet are prepared for the hectic pace until they close in November. As consumers, we don’t realize the hard work that it takes to maintain an orchard. It requires maintenance throughout the year. The trees have to be pruned, sprayed at different times through the season, mowing around the trees, picking the fruit at the proper time, and many other jobs before the fruit can be put on the market. Roy is following in his father and grandfathers’ footsteps. They both worked for many years in Ned Johnson’s orchards, taking care of all the many things that are required to keep an orchard in working order. Roy is the third generation of the Alther family that has been providing us with delicious fruit for many years. His father still helps him out as he is needed. So when you are in need of fruit for jams or jellies, or have company that is coming and you want to make a good pie or dessert, remember to stop and support your local orchardist. It is an important heritage to Rappahannock County, and important to each of us to continue to support them for their continued success in our county. The school bus drivers have done a great job delivering the school pupils safely to and from school in a safely manor for the school year ending June 15. We are proud of each of you and wish you a good summer.

He was a veteran of World War II serving in the Navy Branch and returned to serve at the Naval Recruiting Command in Arlington until his retirement in 1986. by Randy Minter A Shared Meal In many cultures, tradition calls for moments to take a meal together after the funeral. In one region of Spain, a special bread is baked for the wake. In this country, the Amish bake “funeral pies” made with raisins. Among Jewish families, the first meal after a funeral is called “the meal of condolence,” in which hard-boiled eggs and other round foods are served in recognition of life’s continuity. Thus, it is that the universality of the death experience evokes an equally universal response. A communal meal after the funeral is symbolic of the need to replenish ourselves and carry on with the business of living. In the process, we bring comfort to one another. Communal celebrations and the sharing of food make enduring a death that much easier. At the Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton we believe that prearrangements are an act of love for your family, providing them with the information they need to complete your wishes. Our facilities are welcoming to mourners - peaceful, wellappointed, and easily adaptable to different preferences.

Kay Adams conducted the dedication service and told the legend of the dogwood tree. Mrs. Holmes’ family was on hand for the dedication. Immediately following the service a reception was held in the social hall for family and friends. ON HAND FOR THE DEDICATION: In front, Evan Marcus and Omega Hitt (Mother).

June 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. • If you would like to garden on an herbicide-treated area, but are unsure of whether residual herbicide frill damage your plants, try Rowing tomato and ryegrass seed in soil from the plot. If they grow well and produce their first true leaves, residual herbicides will not be a problem. • After your vegetable garden is well established, it is best to water it thoroughly once a week rather than giving it a light watering everyday. That way, a deeper root system is encouraged that will help the plants tolerate dry weather. Generally an application of one inch of water to the surface will wet the soil to six or eight inches deep. • The time of day vegetables are harvested can make a difference in the taste and tex ture. For sweetness, pick peas and com late in the day. That’s when they contain the most sugar, especially if the day was cool and sunny. Other vegetables, such as lettuce and cucumbers, are crisper and tastier if you harvest then early in the morning before the day’s heat has a chance to wilt and shrivel them. • Stop cutting asparagus in mid or late June when the spears become thin. After the last cutting is made, fertilize by broadcasting a 10-10-10 formula at the rate of two pounds per 100 square feet. Allow the tops to grow during the summer to store food in the roots for the crop next spring. • Add organic mulch to the vegetable garden when your seedlings are about six inches tall. This will conserve moisture and discourage weeds. Make sure the soil is moist, and the area is free of weeds before adding mulch. • In most cases, blossomend rot on tomatoes, peppers, squash and watermelons may Candace Clough Estate Gardener consultation ~ gardening & grounds maintenance ~ design ~ planting 540-675-2344 The original comfort shoe.”* BIRKENSTOCK Over 20 Different Colors Available in Smooth Leather, Suede i or ^ Nubuck for Men, Women, & Children! t The Arizona $89.99 The Milano $94.99 The Boston $104 We Have Your Size in Stock Ladies’ Sizes Men's Sizes 2 Thru 14 5 Thru 177* Hours: Mon. thru Thurs. 9:30 to 6 pm, Fri. 9:30 to 8 pm, Sat. 9:30 to 5 pm own Winchester, (540) 667-5600 • 1-888-737-5967 •-jpsfsp be prevented by maintaining uniform soil moisture by mulching and watering correctly, planting in welldrained soil and not cultivating deeper than one inch within one foot of the plant. Also avoid the use of high-nitrogen fertilizers. • Lacebugs feed on azaleas, pyracantha and other woody plants, causing a gray, blanched, or stippled appearance on the upper surface of the leaves. Take steps to control them as soon as you notice the damage. • Bats can be an important weapon in the chemical-free arsenal for bug control. One big, brown bat can eat 3,000 to 7,000 insects each night. Attract bats to your yard by building and placing bat houses in your yard.
