A big small-town Fourth By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer Who needs to trek to that other Washington when Rappahannock County will have the best small-town Independence Day celebration east of the Blue Ridge (and the Rockies too!)? No one! Well—maybe they’ll have better fireworks, but crowds of two million people and unending traffic jams are just too great a price to pay for that. Washington, Virginia’s “William M. Carrigan Independence Day Celebration” will have plenty for everyone, including an unparalleled setting. This year’s event is pretty much a wrap, and all that is left to do is to be there. Bring the kids, bring the grandparents, bring the friends from See FOURTH, Page A8 Public invited to Am Ball 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 July to eiyoy their picnic and watch the fireworks. R. Smith named Director of Curriculum/Instruction By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer At a called meeting of the School Board on June 21 Superintendent Dr. David Gangel presented his proposed plan of reorganization that “provides resources for future academic successes and preserves successful gains of the past.” According to Dr. Gangel, the implementation of the reorganization plan will benefit the school system by: providing necessary leadership; using the strengths of existing leadership personnel; providing classroom experience for most administrators; reducing the number of principals from three to two; and avoiding the need for the hiring of additional administrative staff. The key elements of the plan are . the creation of the positions of Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Coordinator of Special Education; the redefinition of the responsibilities of the RCHS Principal and Assistant Principal, the RCES Principal, the Superintendent, and the Assistant Superintendent; and the creation of a new part-time RCES Teacher Assistant position. The responsibilities of the new Director of Curriculum and Instruction will include: curriculum, instruction and testing in grades K through 12; instruction in grades 6 through 8; teaching of one International Baccalaureate class; supervision of gifted student programs; and management of the Eisenhower grant (curriculum and instruction grants in math and science). The Coordinator of Special Education will be responsible for: supervision and administration of special education (Title VI-B) programs; coordination of Title VI and EX programs; and administration of home schooling programs. Tb provide personnel for these new positions without budget impact, the reorganization plan calls for existing administrators to assume other responsibilities. The RCES Principal, for example, will take on the administration and supervision of the eighth grade and may take a teaching assignment; the RCES Assistant Principal will assume duties in administration and supervision of the eighth grade and may also take a teaching role in business technology or special education; the RCES Principal will assume administrative and supervisory responsibilities for the fifth through seventh grades and may take on a teaching role primary reading but will no longer be responsible for Title I programs; the Assistant Superintendent will assume the responsibility of Clerk of the Board and will assist with observation and adjustment of new hires, but will shed testing and facilities duties; and the Superintendent will take on responsibility for facilities, Headwaters representation, and scheduling division representation at school functions, and may conduct leadership and 0 See SMITH, Page A5 Planning Commission takes on sludge By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer The Planning Commission held public hearings on both the draft sludge ordinance and on proposed changes to the telecommunications ordinance at its June meeting, and the sludge issue drew the most attention. The hearing on the sludge ordinance was preceded by introductory remarks by County Administrator John McCarthy and by County Attorney Peter Luke, Mr. McCarthy mentioned that the County had received a letter from a Synagro, a biosolids management company headquartered in Houston, Texas, in which that company offered to participate in a study committee that would assist Rappahannock in drafting its sludge ordinance. Mr. Luke said that Synagro had suggested that Rappahannock County stay the implementation of its sludge ordinance until such a study committee could get involved, and he said that that could possibly be done if “all of the sludge haulers would agree not to go to the state for a permit” until Rappahannock County had an ordinance. There appeared to be little support amongst the Commissioners for such an approach. The public hearing on the sludge ordinance opened with comments and recommendations from Jim Gannon, President of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP). Mr. Gannon prefaced his organization’s recommendations by noting that the meeting (the hearing on the draft sludge ordinance) was held because of “a judicial decision” and not because Rappahannock County needs or wants sludge. He said that he believed that Rappahannock’s sludge ban “was the will of the people” and that any ordinance developed should be as restrictive as possible. Among the RLEP recommendations forwarded were: a prohibition on the storage of sludge; the addition of any residence and waterway to those sites with 200-yard sludge buffer zones; more stringent posting requirements for land on which sludge is to be or has been applied; and an increase in the penalties for violations to $5,000 per incident.

Headwaters, our schools and you: a winning combination M. Ralston is VHSL state spelling champion By Linda Tarry Rappahannock News Writer Another Rappahannock school year has come to a close. Final report cards have been sent home along with book bags full of tattered notebooks, stubby pencils, and crumpled papers dug out of the comers of desks and lockers. Teachers and students have earned a summer of welldeserved rest and relaxation, and can look back on all they accomplished this past year and make plans for the new school year in the fall. Headwaters is also bringing to a close another successful year here in Rappahannock. As we look forward to beginning our fifth year working as a catalyst for educational excellence in our county public schools, our board members and supporters should feel good about all that we accomplished this year. We are especially fortunate to be able to work with a school system that is wholeheartedly dedicated to ensuring that our children receive the best possible education. During the past year, over $23,000 in Headwaters funding went to support our schools and other projects for youth in our community. Half of the funding went directly to teachers as Mini-Grants, allowing them to pursue innovative classroom projects that would enrich their students’ learning experiences. The rest of the funding went to enhance other facets of our children’s education. Last summer, Headwaters funded a Summer Workshop program for elementary students and a teen adventure program for older youth. This summer we are lending financial and volunteer support to Paul Reisler’s CD project, “Tidal Wave of Sound.” And we continue to support the successful Starfish pientoring program, which thanks to Headwaters funding EARN TOP DOLLAR For Your Garden FRUITS - and - VEGETABLES Call 540-675-3801 Ask For was able this year to hire a part-time coordinator. We offer support and appreciation to the school staff by giving gift Rappahannock News subscriptions each year to teachers who are new to the county, providing luncheons for staff during some of their in-service training sessions, and this year helped finance the PTO’s teacher appreciation event, the Buttercup Ball. We also sponsor and support the annual Academic Award Reception, which recognizes student academic achievement. At this year’s Reception, we presented the first annual John Sawhill Conservation and Jeff MacNelly Art grants, which allow exceptional students in the fields of conservation and art to pursue special projects. We helped sponsor two public forums this year: “Life After High School”, which examined how recent RCHS graduates are coping with the real world of college and jobs; and joined the schools in sponsoring a forum on VA Cares, a movement to reform the inequities in state funding to some Virginia counties, including Rappahannock. And what is the most astonishing thing about all these accomplishments? They have all been done with local funds, by local people. The support base for educational excellence in Rappahannock County is amazing. Headwaters’ success is directly related to the importance everyone in this community, both within and outside the school system, places upon a good education for our children. Headwaters could not have achieved so much this year without the support of its many generous donors and the dedication of our volunteers and board members. We thank you all! We would especially like to recognize Headwaters board members Lisle Carter, tedJS Rapp Memo Pre-1 i 0 I Old phot letters, bUUteads, advert Ulflg^item*^ books or &nj Candace Clough Estate Gardenei* ’ consultation ~ gardening & grounds maintenance ~ design ~ planting -y 540-675-2344 Yes! □ Please enter my new subscription to: Rappahannock Nemo Subscription Rates By Rappahannock.$21.00/yea?’^^*® Elsewhere in the U.S.$27.°°/year Name _._ Address _ City__ State Zip_ I I Mail tubscripbon* are payable in advance.

Teens make Teen Center happen ■ Club Getaway will soon be a reality, thanks to the efforts of a group of motivated County teenagers who believed that it could happen. ; While more adult volunteers would be welcomed to help spruce up the old Black Kettle restaurant in Washington—a temporary site donated by Maggie and David Cole—the teens continued their preparatory efforts and the quest for funds to equip the Club. 'I’hey recently held another successful dance at the Washington Fire Hall, and the attendance attested to the ultimate success of Club Getaway. They will also have a booth at the Fourth of July Jn Washington. Rappahannock Bazaar’s Board of Directors—Jerry Ochs, Laurie Marshall, Alex Sharp, Tessa Adams and Carol Lucking—have been Working with a teen group that keeps on growing. The County’s teens recognize the need for a place to gather and socialize, and the Black Kettle space will serve perfectly. According to a Headwaters survey of teens conducted last year at RCHS, the need for a gathering and recreational spot was at the top of the list. “We’ve been trying to establish a place for teens in Rappahannock for the last six years. Teens need a place to belong, a place to safely express themselves in a variety of ways,” said Ms. Marshall. “Giving them a space to create, a chance to be able to make something happen for themselves, is an invaluable experience that will be taken into their adult life”, said Ms. Lucking. As teenagers, both Ms. Marshall and Ms. Lucking had that opportunity and know what a difference it can make. “We all have to choose whether we will be active or passive members in our communities. If teens are given a chance to learn early in life that they can set goals and work toward them with guidance, all things are possible.”, said Ms. Marshall. “Our teens just need a chance to earn the respect that they deserve, to be provided an opportunity to fulfill their needs by working cooperatively with the community’s adults, and to know the sense of self-worth that comes from accomplishment. That is what the Rappahannock Bazaar framework and Club Getaway were intended to do—and it appears as though that is just what is happening,” said Mr. Ochs. The teen committee hopes to have Club Getaway ready for Friday and Saturday night socializing, dancing, and events early this summer, and the special event/fund-raiser calendar is filling up too. Rappahannock Bazaar will have a flower and herb market at the Independence Day Celebration in Washington, a swim party/luau is being planned for later in July 30, and an end of summer “It’s Everybody’s Birthday Bash” is on the books Aug. 13. Stay tuned for details. Carol Lucking is seeking adult volunteers for Club Getaway chaperone duties, and for other Rappahannock Bazaar activities as well. Teens who would like to get involved are especially welcome. Club Getaway use is restricted to Club Getaway members who have parental permission, but membership is free and easy. To find out how you can help or to receive a registration form, call Ms. Lucking and leave a message at 987-7204, extension 2, or e-mail rappbazaar@yahoo.com. A ticket for the future By Meredith Gorfein ^ On a rainy Tuesday not too long ago, Democrats all over the Commonwealth of Virginia went to the polls. From a field of seven highly qualified candidates, Tim Kaine was the choice for •Lieutenant Governor and Donald McEachin won the nomination for Attorney General. Together they serve as the running mates to Mark Warner, the Democratic candidate for Governor. This Democratic Team of Warner, Kaine and McEachin is the youngest, most charismatic, most qualified, most energetic, most upbeat and focussed-on-thefuture of any team from any campaign from any state in decades. This is an exciting time for Virginia and an exciting time for Democrats. The majority of Rappahannock Democrats who voted in the rainy Primary chose Alan Diamonstein as Lieutenant Governor and John Edwards as Attorney General. I was among them. I knew that I would support and work for whichever candidates were elected, but I had no idea how easy and exciting that support was going to be. Last Saturday, at the Unity Rally in Richmond I saw and heard all three of our candidates together for the first time. Vigorous, articulate, successful, capable, passionate, and funny are some of the words that come to mind when I think of these men. But for me the word that most describes this team is “family”. These are family men. After all the speeches and cheering, the blue grass band began to play, and the three dads began dancing with their kids riding on their shoulders or held in their arms or holding on to a knee. Mark Warner, Tim Kaine and Donald McEachin have Virginia’s future in their hearts every second of the day. And that future is secure and full of promise. Meredith Gorfein is chairman of the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee. Rappahannock 4-H livestock members selling raffle tickets •.

The last hundred years were, among many other things, a century of astonishing change, breathtaking discoveries, and life changing progress. In 1903, Orville Wright flew a “flying machine” for 12 seconds on a windy dune at Kitty Hawk. By 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon. The exponential knowledge of mankind intensifies its growth rate explosively; as if some critical mass has been ' reached in what Jung called the “collective unconscious”. (I just threw in that last sentence to see if you were on your toes and to make some use of the years I spent sleeping on a college campus). Anyhow, one of the things Tom has on the hillside behind his place is a satellite dish, which, like mine, hooks him up with hundreds of channels he never watches. We are all empowered now, empowered with technology that was unthinkable only 30 years ago. At least, I never thought about it. Now, we can watch Polish soap operas, ranting televangelists, and countless offers to sell you more channels. By the way, Canadian television is the perfect cure for insomnia. It doesn’t matter what show. It will do the job. Next to his satellite dish (which I am told is the state flower of Alabama) is some Ben Jones thing that stands like a monument to all those who have passed through the Hollow before. There, solid and timeless against the elements, stand an outhouse. A privy. A toilet. A johnnyhouse. The little brown shack out back. A quick glance at the Internet informs me that I am not alone in my nostalgia for the throne at the end of the path. There are books, essays, poems, photographs, and even an Outhouse Preservation Society. I must confess they would never have me as a member. Around or about 1952, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, in a fit of managerial benevolence, installed indoor plumbing in our old “section house.” Our ancient outhouse, a two seater painted in the railroad’s colors, purple with silver trim, soon fell into disuse. The only time we boys ever visited was to peruse the old Sears Roebuck catalog's lingerie section while smoking our first cigarettes. They were Old Golds as I recall, and the trick was to act as if we enjoyed them while on the verge of a serious internal attack. Since we lived on the docks, near a neighborhood called Pinners Point, this toilet was reached by a small bridge over a marsh, for it sat over a lagoon of tidal water. I will spare you further details. One night a year or so later the old john met its glorious end. Under a full moon there was a great high tide. My cousin Tronnie was a year older than me, and I would take any dare he proposed. So we decided to push the outhouse off the end of the bridge into the waters and watch it go out to sea as the tide changed. But the proud double holer resisted our best efforts. Tronnie and I strained against nails driven in the 19th century by long dead railroad' men, laughing at our weakness from their graves. But then my brother Buck showed up. He was older, bigger, and stronger. With his help we finally disengaged the john from the bridge. My brother Buck was also an inspired zany. “It should go out to sea with honor,” he said. Lighting a “strike anywhere” kitchen match, he set fire to the Sears Roebuck catalogue and tossed it into the privy just as it hit the water. “Like in King Arthur’s Court,” he said solemnly. We agreed, as if we understood perfectly what he was referring to. We watched as our plan worked. The tide shifted quickly, pulling the burning bier out to the channel of Scott’s Creek, into the Elizabeth River, and out towards the Chesapeake Bay. Under the moon, in the quiet of the summer night, it was a sight to behold. ;. I wouldn’t recommend; such illegal and politically incorrect behavior to anyon^, but believe me; it beats the heck out of Canadian television. One last thing: Mr. Bill Tieckelmann writes that I have twice misattributed a* quote to Mr. Mark Twain. Mr. Tieckelmann says that the quote, “a man educated beyond his intelligence,” was “actually written by Brander Matthews, an American author and educator.” Well, Brander Matthews was a good friend of Twain’s. Whether or not he considered himself an educator is something I don’t know, but I do know that he was best known as a drama critic and was a founder of the Player’s Club, along with Twain, the great actor Joseph Jefferson and others. Twain, the older man, most likely used the phrase first when discussing the presidential race of 1884. A group calling themselves the Mugwumps^ although normally Republicans, were supporting the Democrat Cleveland because of Republican candidate James G. Blaine’s unethical behavior. Twain, himself an outspoken member of the group, said at the time in his self deprecating way, “In poli‘ tics I am a Mugwump. I am educated beyond my intelligence.” Me too. But I do know that the way to stop smoking cigarettes is not to light them! up. County resident joins the Peace Corps Nancie Gallegos of Washington will be departing on June 25 for Peace Corps service in Gabon. Miss Gallegos, a 1997 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, will work as an agriculture extension agent in Gabon, learning about and practicing improved agriculture techniques with her community to maximize crop yield while minimizing environmental impact. “I see the Peace Corps as an opportunity to live and work among a unique culture of people,” said Gallegos.

The Sperryville Fire Department Auxiliary would like to thank Marcia Fincham, Mike Turner, Michael Sisk, Andrew Clinedinst, Betty Jones, Geraldine and Buck Payne, and Carol and Lauren for helping in the cook shack for its annual carnival.

'X social hour was held at the home of TVIrs. Robert (Stella Dennis) •Johnson and Mr. Johnson on the ‘Browntown Road, Front Royal, followed by dinner at the Virginia ^Gentleman Restaurant. KDld acquaintances were renewed and jjnany new ones made. A pleasant surprise was in store when Mr. Milton ■Hollingsworth who was principal of rWHS in 1938 and his wife, Sylvia Arrived from Norfolk for the occasion. m ?Three boy scouts about 12 years of age, 3rom the metropolitan area, appeared ■at the door of the W.A.

They had spent a miserable night in the woods in Harris Hollow after becoming separated from the rest of the troop of nine £and their leader early Saturday afternoon.

This week, she announced her retirement effective Sept. 1 ending a long career of helping those less fortunate attack their problems. Cindy Poe was crowned Amissville carnival queen by Paul Poling in a lead photo. Cindy was also named this year’s honorary fire chief for collecting the most votes. The 1956 graduating class of Rappahannock County High School held a 25th reunion in June at the Old Salem Inn, Culpeper.

The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Monday night to adopt the proposed budget for next year. The $7.1 million budget will continue to be funded by a 77 cent rate on real estate and $2.90 rate on personal property. COMPILED BY BARBARA C. WAYLAND Residents urged to *:: attend celebration I had decided, some time ago, that I would arrange some words that would encourage folks to attend the big party on July 1. I do not remember when or how that I first met Dr. Krebser but it must have been as a patient in his Clinic. I know that he was dedicated to the medical profession. He pulled no punches. His medical concern was not restricted to his office. Once he stopped his car to yell at me “Smoking will kill you and by the way, ‘stand up straight.” I’m sure glad that he was not my father. I quit smoking. One of my grandsons refused to go to him again after the Doctor said he was too fat. Does anyone remember when the Doctor told old Hooky Wills that if he did not stop drinking he would die? His friend asked, “Gee Hooky, what did you do”? Hooky answered “Simple, I r just changed Doctors!” Doctor Krebser has held' the hands of the suffering,* - rich and poor and cared for * them just the same. The rich paid his fee and the poor > were not even asked. I pra£ that everyone attend this "■* party as a tribute and to Z honor his years of uncondi~* tional service and friendship. * There are many who do ‘ not approve of his politics but none can question his Z dedication. -* I would especially ask ; ^ the ministers, priests, rabb£ preachers and leaders of anf groups or followers to encourage participation wrtj us in celebration.

There will be an ongoing jam session at the Courthouse beginning at noon, and all are welcome to bring their instruments and voices and join in. At 5 p.m. “Slim Harrison and His Jug Band” will take over at the Courthouse stage, and they’ll provide square dancing music after 7 on Carrigan’s Hill, and the bluegrass trio of Auldridge, Bennett & Gaudreau will be the evening headliner. For the kid in all of us—a parade will begin at 4:30 (Bicycle Parade participants line up behind the Courthouse at 4 p.m.). and fireworks wall commence at dark on Carrigan’s Hill to provide a fitting finale to this William M. Carrigan Independence Day Celebration. Planners From Page A1 Other speakers—Karen Bear, Phil Irwin, Scott Handshy. Bob Lander, and Donna Lapre—were all in agreement with the sense, if not the substance, of RLEP’s position. Mr. Irwin expressed his ‘outrage that a judge can overturn the will of the people"—referring to the Virginia Supreme Court decision that overturned Amelia County’s sludge ban and so forced Rappahannock into developing an ordinance under which sludge could be accepted here. Mr. Lander, like Mr. Gannon, rejected the notion of an industryCounty sludge ordinance study committee, and said that the ordinance “should go forth." The Planning Commissioners discussed the ordinance and its specific elements, as well as RLEP recommendations. Mr. Luke noted that the state regulation does include many of the restrictions proposed by RLEP and Commission members, and Mr. McCarthy suggested that the Planning Commission “not develop an ordinance more restrictive (than the State) because we’re not going to win” any court challenge. Acting Chair Tom Junk closed with the statement that '‘It’s (sludge) nasty stuff . . .and we’re going to get some contamination." Mr. McCarthy proposed that the Commission table the hearing until the July meeting so that he and Mr. Luke could obtain additional information. There was no objection to a continuance. Other activities • There was a brief public hearing on the proposed changes to the telecommunications ordinance—Mr. Gannon of RLEP was the sole public speaker, and he encouraged the Commission to complete its work and forward the ordinance to the Board of Supervisors. After discussing changes to the “crane test* requirement to make those optional, the Commission approved a resolution proposing amendments to the “Zoning Chapter of the Rappahannock County Code regarding Telecommunications.’ The Board of Supervisors will consider the proposed amendments at their July meeting. • The Commission also approved forwarding, to the BZA. a Special Use Application by Margot Dippert for an efficiency apartment, and received the first draft of a lighting ordinance for consideration at a future meeting.

By Jim Bywaters Rappahannock News Writer This time of year brings multitudes of baby birds and animals that look to be "abandoned” to us humans. But before you rush to "rescue” a bird or animal the first thing I would suggest you do is taking a minute to think, is it really orphaned? The vast majority of young animals that I see are not orphaned. It could just be a young fledgling waiting for its parents to feed them or an animal already on its own. Lets start by looking at baby birds. Often, you become aware of a baby bird freshly out of the nest when you hear a persistent chirping from a corner of your garden or under a hedge. The baby bird will be crouching on the ground looking wide-eyed and innocent. For the first day or If you find a bird lacking a complete coat of feathers I have found that you are always better off looking for the nest from which it came and returning the unfortunate bird. Do not worry about the old tale of mother birds rejecting young that has human scent on it. This is completely false. Birds have little if any ability to smell. If the nest has been knocked down, try putting it back in the tree. It does not have to be in the exact same place. Birds have great eyesight and will have no problems finding the new location. If the nest has been completely destroyed you can gather some dried grass to line a small plastic margarine tub. Punch a few drainage holes in the bottom and wire the container in approximately the old place. Replace the young and watch for the parents to return. Just about any bird that is two after they leave the nest, baby birds are not fully feathered does not need any rescuing unless injured. These birds are skilled at \ m # called fledglings, flying. They jjMr Take a good look tend to man- ^Jjm at these birds age to fly before deciding to downwards easi- ^u|i rescue them. If they ly enough, but fly- have feathers covering ing back up to the their entire body and are safety of a perch in a thick hopping around on the ground hedge is much more difficult for them to master. Young birds are very vulnerable at this stage in their lives. They cannot defend themselves and are unable to escape easily, and so they are easy targets for predators. leave them alone. Even if they can’t fully fly they can usually flap enough to reach the lower branches of a shrub or tree, hopefully out of the reach of any cats or dogs in the area. At this time their parents are Photo courtesy of Alma Jones RETURNING: Hazzard County’s Sheriff Rosco R Coltrane, the world's best known and most incompetent lawman, will be at Cooter’s Place on Saturday, July 7 and Sunday, July 8 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The return of Rosco P. Coltrane Cooter’s Place, the popular “Dukes of Hazzard” theme shop and museum in Sperryville, will once again play host to Hazzard County’s Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, the world’s best known and most incompetent lawman. James Best, the veteran character actor who portrayed Boss Hogg’s bumbling sidekick, will be at Cooter’s Place on Saturday, July 7 and Sunday, July 8 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. “Jimmy Best comes to Cooter’s every year,” says Ben (Cooter) Jones, “and every year the crowd gets bigger and Rosco gets wackier. We are delighted to have him back and of course we’ll also have great music, fine food, and lots of classic cars around.” Although the role of Rosco has brought him international acclaim (the “Dukes” has aired in over 60 countries), James Best has appeared in over 600 television shows and has made 83 feature films. His film credits include five films with Jimmy Stewart; “the Caine Mutiny” with Humphrey Bogart; four westerns with his pal Audie Murphy; “The Left Handed Gun” with Paul Newman, and three films with Burt Reynolds, including “Gator" on which he served as associate producer and script writer. Best and his actress wife Dorothy now live in Geneva, Fla. where he continues to act, write, paint in oils and watercolor, and catch as many fish as the law will allow. Crystal Grigsby earns honors “ . Crystal Renee Grigsby was recently ; named to the Spring Semester Academic Dean’s List in die College of Arts and Sciences at Virginia ^Polytechnic Institute and State University. She earned a 3.6 GPA Miss Grigsby was also named to the Fall Academic Dean’s List with a 3.7 GPA _ In addition to these honors, Miss Grigsby recently accepted membership in The National Society of Collegiate Scholars and will be honored during a campus ceremony this fall at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) is a highly selective, national, non-profit honors organization. Founded in 1994, NSCS recognizes first and second year undergraduate students who excel academically. Miss Grigsby is a 2000 graduate of Rappahannock County High School and is the daughter of Diane Grigsby of Sperryville and the late Charles Grigsby. A still feeding fledgling birds, usually for a couple weeks. If you don’t see any parents, back away and watch. The adult birds may be out getting a bug or worm for the young bird. If you are too close, the parents will stay out of sight waiting for a safe time to approach their offspring. Finding baby rabbits in your yard does not always mean they are orphaned. Their mother is caring for offspring that are still in a nest. If the rabbit nest has been disturbed, replace the nesting material and snuggle the babies back into place. If the mother has been killed and the baby rabbit’s eyes are still closed, you need to take the babies to a wildlife rehabilitator. Baby rabbits running around by themselves will be just fine. The rule for rabbits is if they are fully furred and their eyes are open, they are on their own. A baby rabbit will leave the nest at a very young age and is capable of caring for its self, even if they look too small to be on their own. Baby squirrels are similar to baby rabbits. If a young squirrel falls from its nest you should put the baby in a cloth lined box and leave it at the base of the tree from which it fell. The mother will come down when its safe and carry the baby back to the nest. If the nest has been destroyed put all the babies in the box and wait for the mother to return. The mother will gather up the young, one at a time and move them to a new nest. All squirrels have multiple nests and she will simply move the young. In the next few months when you see a young bird, rabbit or squirrel in your yard, stop and think before you jump to the rescue. If you need additional advice from a licensed wildlife rehabilitator look in your telephone book under wildlife or contact you local humane society or nature center. Happy Birding!

L Secret mission days recalled My husband is from the Rock Mills area, and over the years we have visited there many times. I am always amazed at the interesting stories he remembers from the Sperryville By SALLY KEYSER 987-8471 ..1 .■■■■■■■.. i .■>■■■■>■■■ past. This was in 1941 or 42 when approximately 25 soldiers in uniform arrived at Rock Mills from the United States Army, along with ten jeeps and 3/4 ton trucks. You can imagine the excitement when all this came to the county without any warning. With permission from the land owner, they set up camp in a nearby field. They started work immediately, erecting many buildings, about eight by eight on flat rocks. Each day they would go to each building staying only a few minutes, then on to the next building. Everyone wondered what they were doing. After they were all checked they would meet on Wharton Hollow Road, about 500 feet from the bridge. They would gather in this beautiful green meadow which had been grazed by cattle, and play football. The local people had never seen such a rough game, and wondered why men were fighting over a football. The soldiers took a liking to Mr. Sam Wharton who was about 65 years old at the time. When the game was over, they were always buying him something to eat or drink from the store across the bridge at Rock Mills. He was always there to watch them play as well as other local people. As the summer passed the soldiers had won the hearts of almost everyone. A soldier was admired by everyone at that time because being dressed in uniform was so impressive. At summer’s end, and when their job was completed, they tore down all the buildings they had built and departed. What was left behind was many masonry blocks made of rock and cement about two feet square and two full high. Nobody knew what was in the buildings until they were tom down and the blocks were left standing. Over the years they have deteriorated and fallen apart. Some were knocked down by cattle. I only know of one that is still standing. No one really knew why the soldiers were sent here. We know the first atomic bomb was detonated in 1945. The local people who had a radio or subscribed to a newspaper, said they were looking for uranium. Uranium was important for the making of atomic bombs. It was also said they were recording earthquakes. We will probably never Photo courtesy of Sally Keysei REMAINS: This is the only concrete block that is known aboul which the soldiers left in the Rock Mills area. know the real story as it was a secret mission. It surely did bring much excitement and questions to a rural area. The Sperryville United Methodist Church has worship services each Sunday at 11:15 a.m. Everyone is welcome.

jWhat is a naturopath? -» Naturopathic doctors are (rained specialists in a separate and distinct healing art which uses non-invasive natural medicine. They are not Drthodox medical doctors (MD's). J Naturopathic doctors (ND’s) are conventionally trained in subjects such as (inatomy, physiology, counseling, dietary evaluations, nutrition, herbology, acupressure, muscle relaxation and structural normalization, Homeopathy, iridology, exercise therapy, and hydrothera•Py' Naturopathic doctors taiJor the healing modality to the needs of the individual ■With methods, which are Effective for both chronic and ■acute problems. Naturopathic doctors cooperate with all ^ranches of medical science, •referring individuals to other ^practitioners for diagnosis or treatment when appropriate. *; In practice, naturopathic ^doctors perform lifestyle analysis, laboratory testing, nutritional and dietary assess-inents, metabolic analysis I^nd other evaluative procedures. They are trained to use H wide variety of natural I^nethods, which involve the individual in the healing pro <ess. ^ Naturopathy is based "upon a belief in the body’s innate God-given natural lability to heal itself when jpven an appropriate internal w&nd external healing environment. Naturopaths are not •involved in the practice of jnedicine and do not use "drugs or pharmaceuticals, nor -do they perform abortions or ^surgery. “ They have traditionally •been referred to as “drugless ^doctors.” In reality, naturopathy deals with wellness and ^relief from conditions, which IJare the result of stress Nvhether from mental, nutritional, environmental or physical factors. J Naturopathic Jj philosophy s advocates number v of principles ^ Naturopathy promotes ;!health through education and non-invasive natural agents. ^ 1. Do no harm * Primum non nocere is ••taken from the Hippocratic LOath. Certainly anybody who *wis sick does not need any ther»-apy or treatment which can Ilharm him/her. One should J^never confuse the suppression J-of symptoms as a creation of llhealth. Health is a state of Improper balance, integration £and harmony in the body. •-Traditional naturopathy ^embraces only therapies or ^procedures, which are •-designed to enhance healing t'and produce wellness. £ 2. Recognize the healing * power of nature t Vis medicatrix naturae. I The human body is created j with the capacity to heal itself * and to maintain homeostasis. \ There is a healing power in ‘nature and this principal is vthe basis for all of naturopaIlthy. Naturopathy is a system ^designed to work in harmony »-with nature in the restoration «.and support for the inherent natural healing systems of the body. 6 3. Identify the cause Tolle causam. In allopathic medicine the name of the disease is actually the name of the symptom in Greek. For example, the term “arthritis” is made up of two Greek roots “arthro” w'hich means having to do with the joint and “itis” meaning pain or inflammation. Allopathic doctors seek to treat the joint pain by reducing the joint pain. This can be done with the use of painkillers, nerve blockers or any number of procedures. Naturopaths are committed to removing the joint pain by finding and removing the cause. Perhaps this may prove to be a calcium and/or mineral deficiency caused by either a primary or secondary nutritional deficiency. Or perhaps the cause could be from an injury or possibly from an over acid condition in the body. For naturopaths, the correction of the cause is the most plausible way of elimination the symptoms and restoring health to the per son. 4. Involve the total person Naturopathic doctors are aware that a person can have a physical, spiritual or emotional illness. The chosen therapy is determined by what kind of problem the person is experiencing. You can not be well or healthy if you have a spiritual or mental problem even if you appear perfectly fit. Naturopaths use various counseling, stress management and biofeedback techniques for those experiencing emotional or spiritual problems. 5. Teach rather than treat Naturopathic philosophy places the responsibility for wellness with the individual. Men and women are the steward of their body and the doctor is the teacher or advisor to the individual on how to maintain health. One recognizes that a headache is not an aspirin deficiency but rather the result of some imbalance within the body. Some principle of health has been violated and the body is responding with pain. Naturopaths should evaluate the connotation and advise or teach their clients what lifestyle, nutritional, emotional or dietary changes should be made to alleviate the condition. The condition is alleviated by the clients making those changes and not by some outside agency. 6. Identify the source Men and women are fearfully and wonderfully made. Other than in trauma-type injuries, seldom does the body have isolated mono-factoral conditions but rather experiences “dis-ease” as a consequence of a number of health debilitating events. Germs are considered the culprit for many conditions found by allopathic physicians. Naturopaths understand germs are a normal part of the economy of the earth and that they are put here by the Creator to destroy sick, weakened and devitalized tissues. Thus, germs are attracted to the depleted tissues in the body. In order to reverse the rrrrrrr Imported cars aren’t foreign to us. rrrrrrrrrrff i t REASONS TO BRING YOUR CAR TO US 1.

This explains why when two people are exposed to the same germ only one person gets sick (the person with the devitalized tissues). 7. Prevent disease It is admirable that there is an effective system based on natural restorative methods. However, it is preferable for the body not to experience imbalances and their resulting consequences. Naturopaths are prepared to advise clients on simple disease prevention principles, which are designed to produce health and avoid the destructive consequences, which occur as the result of violating those principles. What to expect When you consult a naturopathic doctor for counsel, you will find a person committed to the holistic approach to health. The naturopath will gather a medical history, inquire about your diet, discuss any stress you are experiencing, give various noninvasive tests designed to evaluate body conditions and advise you concerning your condition. You will experience techniques, which are consistent with traditional naturopathy and its philosophy. These will enable your body to correct problems now and prevent them from occurring in the future. (Reprinted from the Council on Naturopathic Registration and Accreditation Inc.) Kathy J.

The » mind of man cannot grasp it. It is in vain that we try to stretch our conceptions beyond imaginable space, we bring before the mind's eye merely atoms in comparison with the reality of things. It is an infinite sphere, of which the centre is everywhere, the circumference nowhere. In short, the strongest proof of the almighty power of God is that our imagination loses itself in the conception." The mistake many make who have lost a family member is to try to “just get on with it" after a loss instead of taking the time to pay atten- j tion to what it means to 4 grieve. . At the Moser j Funeral Home. 233 | Broadview Avenue. Warrenton we are happy to bring your loved one home from far away if needed. It's the kind of care we show by going the extra mile that make our clients so grateful for our work with them.
