When Katie Updike exhibits her i livestock at the Culpeper-MadisonRappahannock Farm Fair in Culpeper July 24-28, it will end a | long, successful era of competition in livestock showing for the Updike family- ilyKatie’s father, Randall, and his four brothers grew up in Rappahannock County, raising cattle and sheep. After graduating from Virginia Tech, Randall became an extension agent in Clarke, Madison and Orange Counties. He is currently a senior marketing consultant for the Virginia Department of Agriculture. Katie’s mother, Toni, was raised in Carroll County, Md., and participated j in FFA Judging. Katie followed her two older brothers, Scott, 22 and Justin, 20, into the show ring. Instead of family vacations in the sun and surf, the Updikes would show at various breeder and livestock shows in the country. ‘ In addition to the C-M-R Farm Fair, they have participated in the Virginia Breeders Show, the State Fair, the Virginia Expo, the Glenwood Show in Leesburg, and the Atlantic nationals and the Eastern Regional Show. Katie stated that having two older brothers made her try harder to beat them in the show ring. The Updikes breed their own cattle through artificial insemination as well as breeding with some home raised bulls. They currently own a herd of around 60 cattle. Katie also shows lambs, and they raised their own sheep until approximately three years ago when they sold their flock to Katie’s uncle. Katie and her brothers have also exhibited hogs. Katie stated that 4-H has changed some over the years in the level of intensity and competition. There are fewer participants now, probably due to time commitment and many other activities that youth are able to participate in now. Katie states that she has enjoyed learning from afid sharing ideas with other breeders and exhibitors. Her most memorable experience was during Junior Showmanship one year when Katie had to switch steers with another exhibitor. Katie’s steer broke away twice and each time returned to Katie. Katie’s brother, Scott was a member of the State judging team at Virginia Tech. He just completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science and is pursuing a Master’s Degree at i Ohio State University. He is spending part of his summer as Virginia Tech’s representative for Block and Bridle at various national conferences. Katie was the Junior State Champion in Livestock Judging in 1996. Justin is a junior at Virginia Tech, majoring in Business. Katie just graduated from Wakefield School where she played volleyball, basketball and soccer. She will be attending Cabrini College in Radnor, Pa. in the fall with a possible major in Psychology. The Rappahannock County Livestock Club which is the oldest 4-H Club in the county, has always had an Updike member participating in some way. Please come support Katie and the other members of the Livestock Club as they participate in the C-MR Farm Fair. The Swine show is July 24, the Sheep Show is July 25, the Beef Show is July 26 and the sale is on Friday, July 27 at 6:30 at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises. Please come show your support for our county’s youth! See photo, Page A8. Town Treasurer Viguerie resigns niiiiii By Gerald Ochs 5 Rappahannock News Writer «« Washington Town Treasure** Elaine Viguerie, in a letter addressed to Mayor Stewart Willis, the IbwS Council, and Town resident^! resigned her position effective Au£ 31 of this year.

Mr. Tompkins stressed that this was not a RAAC decision, but were individual decisions. He also raised a few points about future Fourth events—he said that he understood why this year’s event was named in honor of William Carrigan, but sug® gested that, since it is a County cele*' bration, a County stamp be used instead; he raised the prospect of future problems in the use of private property for Fourth parking; and he voiced some concern about the »gin| and thus availability of volunteer^ for parking and other event duties.Mr. Tbmpkins did thank all of the William M. Carrigan Independence Day Celebration sponsors, and expressed his hopes that the “A, Team” departure would spark some discussion in the County about future Independence Day celebrations.

Summers are busy at RCES By Raye M. Tupper RCES Principal Despite the fact that most students left for the summer on June 15, things are hopping at RCES! The r2-month staff (secretary, custodians and principals) has been busy with a number of tasks in preparation for the 2001-02 school year. We are pleased to report that we have had approximately 85 students at RCES this summer participating in summer programs. As has occurred for several summers, a four week summer school program has been held for students entering grades three through six. This had been well attended, largely due to out being able to offer transportation for the first time. We have also had the pleasure of offering “Jumpstart Kindergarten”, a program for youngsters entering Kindergarten a this fall. We appreci- A ate me support oi parents whb have i allowed their chil- r dren to partici- & pate in these ben- ■ eficial classes. We S also want to V thank the many ’*<%•» Rappahannock County Public Schools staff fnembers and volunteers who have worked to provide these services to students. One of the most important summer jobs is that of filling vacancies in teaching positions. Because of the critical nature of the teachbr-student relationship, we ptrive to find the most able people to teach our children. Most interviews are done by a team made up of faculty frnembers and administrators, so many teachers and aides have been in this summer volunteering their time to participate in this process. We had few vacancies jfnd are happy to report that most have been filled. ! Another important task for the summer is making JJure the buildings are spicand-span for the new year, •’this summer the RCES and XlCHS custodians have teamed up and are working r together in both buildings. With all four gentlemen pooling their efforts, the work is moving along more efficiently. This is an example of how cooperation arid innovation can significantly benefit an organization. Thanks goes to Robert Lamery, Walter Frye, Robert Pullen and Bob Baldwin! Congratulations to Richard Smith, who will be leaving RCES to be the Director of Curriculum and Instruction for our school division! During his six years at RCES as Assistant Principal then Associate Principal, he worked closely with teachers, students and parents to effect tremendous progress in the middle school program. In his new position, he will continue to oversee instructional matters for grades 6-8. Before working as an administrator, Mr. Smith taught grades four, five and six at RCES. The elementary school will not have a full time assistant principal this year. In order to streamline administration for the school division, the School Board decided to hire a “teacher assistant” for the elementary school. A group of teachers, aides and administrators interviewed several candidates for this position, and Carol Johnson was selected.

By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Writer Ever consider hosting an exchange student? The school year is well over, a crop of exchange students has finished up a successful year and gone home, and now Jeanne McNear, our area Youth For Understanding coordinator is looking for families or individuals interested in hosting students for this upcoming school year. We are all familiar with student exchange programs; organizations that place students from various countries with families for a school year. But these programs serve a nobler purpose than simply providing travel experience for a select group of kids. They are designed to encourage human contact and understanding across diverse cultures, nations and states. Youth For Understanding (YFU) was founded fifty years ago, in Ann Arbor Michigan, shortly after the second world war, by one Dr. Rachel Andresen. YFU tells us that in 1951, “in an effort to heal the wounds of World War II, Dr. Andresen arranged for 75 young Germans to live and attend school in Michigan for a year.” Bringing young German students to the U.S. exposed those students to American family life at it’s best, and surely helped to dispel whatever stereotypes they had grown up with. Club Getaway opening planned Rappahannock’s teen club, Club Getaway, will open its doors on Friday, July 20 to welcome the County’s teenagers to its new temporary facility in the former Black Kettle restaurant. The club will provide County teens, from thirteen through high school age, with space for meeting, chatting, recreation, study . . . for any reasonable activity that club members desire. Club Getaway will be open from 7 to 11 p.m. each Friday, and will expand its days and hours of operation as club membership and the corps of adult volunteer chaperones grows. Club membership is open to all Rappahannock County teens and a simple application, with a parent’s signature, is all that is required for membership. A broad range of programs is being considered for the club by the sponsoring non-profit r~1 ..1 1 i PEACHES TriGem, Jubilee Freestone * 4c * * * * $ PLUMS * * *** * 4c SUMMER RAMBO APPLES Selling 7 Days a Week!

Among the possibilities are after school activities including mentoring and tutoring in math and other subjects; poetry readings; development of summer and part-time job opportunities and an entrepreneurial program; workshops and lectures; juvenile justice programs; and, of course, recreational activities and music and dance. Upcoming Club Getaway events include a luau at Lynn Sullivan’s farm in Gid Brown Hollow on July 30, an “Everybody’s Birthday Bash” at John Kiser’s farm on Pophams Ford Road on Aug. 13, and another dance or two at the Washington Fire Hall. More information on the Rappahannock Bazaar’s teen programs, on Club Getaway membership, on adult volunteering, and on the special events is available by e-mailing rappbazaar@yahoo.com, or by calling Jerry Ochs at 987-3311 or Carol Lucking at 987-7204, extension 2. When those students got home and pursued their:schooling and later their careers, hopefully they remained changed by their experiences overseas, and forever have a broader understanding of the world and of people. By the same token, those initial host families, their children and all their fellow classmates got to meet and get to know these young German students, seeing them just as kids like any other, and not simply as representatives of the former enemy. Every year since then, YFU has repeated this noble experiment, until now they work with students in every state and fifty nations. In the manner of most truly good ideas, the aims of exchange programs like YFU are as meaningful and pressing today as they have ever been. But if you host an exchange student, you won’t have to settle for some broad philosophical satisfaction with the goals of student exchanges. The benefits are immediate and personal. You gain a friend, and you get to learn about a distant place and another way of life from the best possible source; a friend of yours who is from there. Jeanne and Dick McNear have been hosting students on and off for at least twelve years. They now have close family friends all over the world; other families and lives now connected inextricably to their own. Not too long ago, they traveled abroad to attend the wedding of one of their former students. Their experience? “We have just thoroughly enjoyed it . It’s very addictive after awhile. The first time we liked it so much, we didn’t do it again for a while because I think we thought we’d never have another one that good, we enjoyed it so much. Then we kind of got over that and started having them again, and its been very rewarding, we’ve had great kids.” This last year the McNear’s hosted a young man named Miguel Gaviria, from Medellin, Columbia. Miguel, a friendly, polite, well-spoken lad, comes from a family in Medellin that owns a cattle farm. His father is an architect and his mother a psychologist. He tells us he’s really glad he came, because of the friends J he’s made, because he loves the * McNear’s farm, and because j - he’s really had a chance to use j and improve his English, j Apparently, the school is pretty j happy to have him playing soccer as well. i Five decades after those] first German students, the pro- j gram’s original aims are still j being carried out. Any stereo-1 type pop to mind with the j words Medellin, Columbia? All 4 the students who got to knowj Miguel surely have a broader* notion of what it means tot come from Medellin than they] had before. j, Just in a five minute con-]versation, this writer learned J • that it was a fairly modem city of two million, nestled in the mountains, with heavy and light industry, lots of cattle farming and year round moderate temperatures. All his » friends at the high school sure^ ly know much much more than this. That’s just from one stu-; dent. This last year alone,. Rappahannock County Higlj School had students" from Estonia, the Netherlands’, Chile, Japan and Germany. These students got to know ourl little comer of the U.S., so won-; derfully atypical of what they* might expect from our televK - sion and movies. And think 6f ■ what a resource all these kidfe ! were, bringing a window to the broader world into our pastoraj; ; midst through their stories and- - experiences. * Is it expensive or difficult tfr host a student? Not really. Their health care is covered, and they provide their owji spending money. It’s like havr ing a cousin stay with you for a. while. You provide three meals' a day and a place to stay, ancf take the student into your family life. They share in chores and outings, as a family member, rather than as a guest. What if there’s a problem or it isn’t working out? A student - can change families in a pinch;, you won’t be out there stuck orr a limb. So think about it. \1 Wouldn’t it make for an interesting year if you had ari exchange student this year1?

Taste of Rappahannock honors Jeff MacNelly Mark your calendars for Saturday, Sept. 15 and make reservations now to attend Headwaters’ third annual fundraiser, “Taste of Rappahannock”. Proceeds from this event will support the many projects sponsored by Headwaters that directly benefit our county’s public school students. The “Taste of Rappahannock” will again take place at the Washington School on Mt. Salem Avenue in Washington. Sunnyside Farms, which operates the 9unnyside Market in Washington, has graciously agreed to sponsor it. Many local bed and breakfasts, restaurants, farms, vineyards, and other producers of exceptional food and drink will be donating their products and expertise to help make for a delightful evening of food, drink, and conversation. Due to limited seating, no more than 200 tickets will be sold. This year’s fundraiser will be a tribute to one of Headwaters’ founding investors, Jeff MacNelly (1947-2000), a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner and editorial cartoonist extraordinaire. Over thirty years of his professional career he became, as the Richmond Times Dispatch described him, “cartooning’s dominant force”. His weekly cartoon strip “Shoe”, the panel “Pluggers , his profusion of comic commentaries and laconic one-liners, all Park to conduct field seminar Shenandoah National Park will conduct a field study seminar titled “Revealing the Past at Big Meadows” on Saturday, July 21. Major focuses will include the historic landscape of Big Meadows, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp, the creation of the park, and a hands-on archaeological dig at a former meadow home site. The day promises to be full of discovery and adventure as seminar participants delve into the past of one of Shenandoah National Park’s most beautiful and historic locations, and explore the sig'nificance of what cultural history has to teach and what can be learned from studying it.

His sculptures and less well known paintings captured the breadth and genius of his artistic talents. Jeff’s community spirit was invaluable to many local organizations for whom he produced mascots and emblems and which he supported with his time, energy, and generosity. We in Rappahannock are blessed to have had Jeff MacNelly as a friend and neighbor and to have seen him dining at 4&20 Blackbirds (where the walls display MacNelly cartoons) or sharing his talents with students in the schools and at the Middle Street Gallery.

Cemetery road donations sought By Shirley Kushner Rappahannock News Writer Hopefully, many of you have noticed the progress that has been made in improving the appearance of the Sperryville Cemetery. With tne assistance of a host of volunteers, trees and shrubbery have been pruned, trash removed, and the entire area has been given a “facelift.” But we’ve reached the point where more than volunteer help is needed. The cemetery road needs to be paved and a number of headstones reset. This costs money! We would now like to start a special fund to accom plish these two tasks. Estimates for paving the road are around $11,000 and we’re waiting on estimates for repairing and resetting headstones. We realize this is a lot of money, but it’s a small amount when we consider that the cemetery is a place where we honor and [>ay respect to our departed oved ones. Not knowing the number of families who own plots there or how many still nave families living or in the area, it’s difficult to arrive at a suggested donation amount. So we would like to ask that you consider a donation toward this effort of whatever you are comfortable in making. If we don’t'reach the required amount we will fay ana find other means of raia- , ing the money. If by chance, we exceed the amount need- - ed, it will be kept in a special - fund for the future mainte- ~ nance above the ordinary care of the cemetery.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.timescommunlty.com Fifty-second annual Farm Fair to begin next week Beginning Tuesday, July 24 the County’s 4-H Club members, Extension Homemakers and other residents will be exhibiting their livestock, culinary creations and crafts at the annual Culpeper-Madison-Rappahannock Farm Fair. The fair will be held July 24-28 at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises on Route 29 south of Culpeper. Each year, the exhibitors put a lot of time, effort and money into the animals and products, which they display at the Farm Fair. Events will begin on Tuesday with the Swine {Show; followed by the Poultry Show on Wednesday (a first for Rappahannock) and the 4-H Sheep Show in the evening; a Rabbit Show and Beef Show on Thursday. Friday will feature the Tractor Driving Contest, Open Pet Show, Cloverbud Pet Show, and Stockman’s Contest and will conclude with the Livestock Sale and Rabbit and Poultry Sale. The Horse Show, Goat Contest, Pretty Animal Contest, Dog Show and a truck and tractor pull will be the Saturday highlights. We hope that country residents will take the time to visit the fair during the week to see the results of their neighbors’ efforts. Each year, county residents bring home many ribbons from the competition, sometimes the only reward they receive for their efforts. The livestock exhibitors’ animals are often purchased by local businesses, which provides the youngsters with some reimbursement for the expenses they incurred while raising the animals. We join the 4-H Club members in thanking those businesses and individuals for their generosity and support. • Make plans to attend the Culpeper-MadisonjRappahannock Farm Fair July 24-28 and support the Rappahannock 4-H children and programs.

More Letters An open letter To those who have long enjoyed our Fourth (and who hasn't?). I As one who has “hung on" during the Fourth of July planning and operating for several years and playing a very small part, I’ve seen the very large part played by committee “A” for many years: Charlie Tbmpkins, ijllen Manson, Beverly 4tkins, Frank Reynolds, and “Butch” Zindel. * Charlie and Ellen have coAaired, Beverly has handled details, Frank the fireworks and parking, and Butch the hardware. RAAC has been in charge for several years for the Tbwn and recently for the County. With the help of the many members and volunteers, the five “A"s have had the responsibilities, sweat, tears and hours and hours of work day and night. They have talked of giving their task up for next year. It will take many to take their places. Thanks many times to them all.

The service transcended any, and all, generational, religious and racial differences among the attendees. The community crystallized into a singularity in honor of Robert and support of his family.

Backyard ; / Happenings Cr Jim Bywaters Of the many favorite visitors to our gardens, the first and foremost are the ruby-throated hummingbirds. But is what you are seeing really a hummingbird? Many gardeners have been fooled once or twice by the Sphinx Moth. The Sphinx Moth is one of several types of moth of the family sphingidae that are often mistaken for hummingbirds. I call them the pixies. Their nature certainly reminds us of a pixie-like creature. These little amusing creatures appear each summer when everything in the garden is in bloom. It hovers with its wings beating over the flower and sucks the nectar, unlike bees and butterflies that actually land on the flowers. Sphinx moths, also called hawk moths or hummingbird moths, are large moths that are easily confused at first glance with a hummingbird. These day and evening flying moths have a 3-J)9 inch wingspan, making them nearly as large as the rubythroated hummingbird. Sphinx moths will hover at a flower for nectar just like a hummingbird. Its long straw-like mouth, called a proboscis, is usually coiled up under its head like a spring. It is so long that it is about as long as the moth’s entire body. When the moth approaches a flower it uncoils its proboscis and inserts it into the flower. It quickly sips the nectar and moves on to another flower. These moths have large eyes to see flowers but lack ears for hearing. One of the ways to tell the difference between a sphinx moth and a hummingbird is to use your ears. Hummingbirds make a loud humming noise when flying. That’s how they got their name. The sphinx moth is silent and a much slower flyer than a hummingbird. Although, it flaps its wings fast enough to make seeing them very difficult. Some species of sphinx moths can flap their wings up to 85 beats per second and can fly up to 10 miles per hour. That might be slow for a hummingbird but very fast for a moth. Before any moth can fly it has to first go through a caterpillar stage. The caterpillar of the sphinx moth is very large. It is about three inches long and about as thick as your little finger. It is usually bright green with a large horn on its tail end giving it a threatening appearance, although it is harmless. At this stage they are often called “homworms”. The caterpillars of sphinx moths are where the name originates, some of the larvae adopt a stance with their front end pulled up and head curled down when they are disturbed, supposedly looking like a sphinx. They are also called hornworms because most species have a pointed projection on their rear end. Some kinds eat tomato plants, getting the name “tomato homworm”. Unlike other moths, the sphinx moth caterpillar does not spin a silken cocoon to transform within, rather it burrows underground creating a protective chamber. The underground chamber also aids them to survive through winter. Sphinx moths are not picky and will try obtaining nectar from just about any flower. Both day-flying and night-flying moths can be attracted to a flower garden and will add diversity and wonder to your yard. Plant mock orange, phlox, and sweet william to attract moths. Happy Birding!

Iranian filmmakers i i open a distant world By Joanne Hilty Rappahannock News Writer Working with old equipment, the wrong kind of film and censorship, Iran’s cinema is a world unto itself, the most creative expression of the country’s imagination, so much so that it has earned a reputation as one of the most vibrant and prolific cinemas in the world. As filmmakers scoop up more and more prizes at international festiI vals, filmmaking has become one of the most popular professions for young people in Iran. They are buying cameras, writing scripts and com! peting for both the few places at film i schools and the privilege of working on the sets of famous directors. For many Americans, the Iranian cinema is the most direct glimpse I into this complicated culture. More than any other medium, film has helped to break down the dominant Western images of Iran as a country of dour, repressed women swathed in black and bearded young men charging “Death to America!”-as a nation powerless to challenge a ruling class of men in turbans and cloaks. The popularity of Iranian films is evident in the number recently shown in New York -"The Circle," “The Day I Became a Woman" and “Iran Through the Eyes of Children." According to Hamid Naficy, associate professor of film and media at Rice University and author of several books on Iranian film and television, “These films are very important in terms of countering the image of Iranians as intolerant and fanatical and of capturing universal themes-that it is human to love your children, that people in Iran face some of the same problems that other people face.” The Iranian cinema has come a long way from the revolution 22 years ago. Ayatollah Khomeini, the father of the, revolution, railed against the cinema, putting it in the same category as theater, dancing and sexually integrated swimming. In 1982, Iran formally banned films that were judged to encourage wickedness, corruption and prostitution. A majbr change came when Mohammad Khatami was elected Basketball camp set First annual "Panther Pride" Boy's Basketball Camp is scheduled for July 30 to Aug. 3 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Rappahannock County High School. The camp is open to all boys entering the 6th to 12th grades at Rappahannock County Public Schools. Cost will be $60 per player. Instruction will be provided by RCHS varsity basketball Head Coach Mike Dayton and his assistant high school coaches Ricky Shaw and Mike Atkins, as well as, Head Coaches Mike Leake and Gary Settle from the Junior Panthers. lb sign up for the camp, pick up a registration form from the high school administration office or in the athletic department.

Each time filmmakers explore the underside of Iranian life, they risk censorship by the Ministry of Islamic Guidance and Culture-or worse. But unlike more authoritarian states, this is a world where there are few rules governing what is and is not permitted and where filmmakers defy both the system and their own fears in their quest to create. To comply with the strictures of the Islamic Republic, there can be, on screen, no public affection between men and women, no dancing, no female singers, no sensual music. Female characters must always keep their heads covered and hide the shape of their bodies. Husbands and wives are not allowed to touch, and parents cannot show physical affection to their children once a daughter is 9 and a son is 13. It is thought that such actions might inflame the passions of male viewers. Yet in reality family life in Iran is extremely intimate. Even the most religious women unveil in private in the company of close male relatives and other women. Husbands and wives touch, and parents and children are affectionate with one another. While Iranians are aware of the distortions of “Islamic filmmaking,” foreign viewers often are not. Watch for more from the Iranian filmmakers. They are just beginning. “A Time for Drunken Horses” is a powerful blend of documentary flavor and poetic fervor from the Iranian filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi. The Boston Globe says. “It will stay with you for years.” The New York Times calls it “an affecting, terribly moving and, in its way, beautiful movie.” “A Time for Drunken Horses” to be shown By Joanne Hilty Rappahannock News Writer “A Time for Drunken Horses” supplies faces to go with news stories about the Kurdish peoples of Iran. The Kurds are members of a pastoral and agricultural people who inhabit a plateau region in adjoining parts of Iran, Turkey, Iraq and Syria. Their lands to this day are . protected against Saddam Hussein’s force by a no-fly zone enforced by the United States. The movie, however, is not about politics. It is about survival. “A Time for Drunken Horses” will be shown at The Theatre on Gay Street in Washington at 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 21. The co-Winner of the Camera d’Or Prize at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, Bahman Ghobadi’s poignant neo-realist story depicts the courage of orphaned children who are forced to support themselves in a world where children and animals endure the harshest of conditions. Previously a taboo subject, the hardships faced by Kurds have been documented in some recent Aims, but this film, shot in the Kurdish director’s native village with a compelling cast of non-professionals, is the first insider’s account. Ayoub, age 12, has become the head of a family of six children, including a severely handicapped brother, Madi, desperately in need of an immediate operation. Struggling to provide any way he can, he is compelled to join a dangerous smuggling operation crossing treacherous snowcovered mountains over the mine-littered border into Iraq. The Northern Iran winters are so cold that the Kurdish smugglers who live there feed their mules alcohol so that they will carry loads over the mountain passes. His sister Amaneh, ■» the eldest girl, meanwhile agrees . to marry a man in Iraqi Kurdistan with the understanding that his family will pay for Madi’s operation. Despite their selfless efforts * and with time running out for the operation, all is in doubt, leading to a suspenseful and powerful conclusion. Inspired by the lives of chil- .. dren he met while location scouting, Ghobadi, who is billed as the world’s first, and only, Kurdish filmmaker, studied them closeat-hand and set down this stir- r ring, compassionate tale of hard- ’ ship, sacrifice and dedication. " His unflinching and rigorously minimal approach, shot in a -~ mostly hand-held documentary C style, is tempered by the deep '* emotional bond shared by the * three siblings (siblings in real * life as well) and the appeal of the - naturalistic performances. S. Following his own path with £ straightforward, but eloquent Z storytelling, Ghobadi establishes z himself as a filmmaker to watch ^ with this compassionate, sus- - penseful and profoundly moving J, film. J Following the movie, refresh- ' ments will be available ‘Hinder the stars” in front of The Theatre. Special music will be presented by Alex Shafran on the saxophone, a young and talented local musician. Come join us for a “Rappahannock” evening.

There we would hear tales of long ago, solve all the world problems, and our own as well. We talked about our own lives and dreams. This did not happen just one night, it was a daily occasion every night when supper was over. (This was our evening meal). Our front porch was used as another room, weather permitting. It was the window to our world, enjoyed and shared by each of us. We would gather the vegetables from our garden, and the front porch was where we would string the beans, and hull peas. We seeded cherries, capped strawberries. All this was done as a family because we got through much faster. “Heap of hands make light work”, was an old saying. The mess was much easier to clean up on the porch, and it was cooler than in the house. The rainy days were always my favorite. I loved to hear the rain on the tin roof. Sometimes it was so loud you could hardly hear each other talk. On these rainy days we got our energy out by playing Sperryville By SALLY KEYSER S87-S471 on the porch. There was “Mother, May I”, jumping rope, Jack rocks, and of course the familiar swing. We would swing for hours, and would make it go so high. We could touch the ceiling with our feet. Whenever we had visitors they were always entertained on the porch. We were taught “to be seen and not heard”. The porch was decorated with pretty potted plants. There were no nurseries available, so when they saw a plant different to what they had, they would ask for a “slip”. This meant a piece of the plant that they would take home and start their own plant. They would plant it in soil, and put a glass mason jar over it, keeping it damp until it rooted. From our porch, we had a beautiful view of the mountain, and we watched the sea sons change. The mountain around us told us much we needed to know about the weather. We would watch the rain clouds wash their way to our home during a thunderstorm. You could see the rain long before it reached our house. Sometimes it would go down the opposite side of the ridge. When the lightening became more severe, our parents would have us all go inside until the storm was over. In early spring the frogs would start crooking from the meadow. We watched as the mountain became green, starting at the bottom and slowly go upward. The redbud and dogwood would put on .their beautiful flower show. The birds that had been gone for the winter, returned with their songs. As the weather became warmer, the lightening bugs, (fire flies) returned. We would catch them just before dark and put them in a mason jar with holes in the lid for ventilation. We would watch them light, and before bedtime we would let them fly away. Other night sounds we always listened to were tree frogs and jar flies (non-periodical cicada). We were told you could tell the night tempera;.: ture by their noise. * In the fall we watched as ^ the leaves changed color. There was a difference each day. There has never been a picture painted that can catch the real beauty. The old store porches wer6* also a gathering place for mert folk. They would meet at di£j ferent times and swap stories,^ play checkers, set back and. some would just talk andj chew their tobacco. , We have lost the art of; porch sitting because of air. conditioning, television, and; computers. The porch was the center of our world in the summer-* time. When I’m alone and sibon the porch today and listen1 _ to the familiar sounds, it' - brings back a part of my childhood I’ll always remember. ' The Dwyer reunion will b£ held July 28 at the£ Washington fire hall. Bring a' covered dish and plan qpj attending. , Our condolences go out to, the family of Robert Dennis: He had been a school bus drivr er for the Rappahannock School System for 33 years: ' He will really be missed by all* - who knew him. , Call me with your newfe and make it a good week. Bethel Church plans concert July 22 The Amissville Bethel Baptist Church will have a full Gospel Concert on July 22 at 3 p.m. The group, “The Trumpet Kings” out of Maryland will be putting on a great performance. As always dinner will be served immediately after the morning service. The Rev. Forrest Freeman and the Honorable Edward L. King invite all to attend. The church deacons are the sponsors for this free event and proceeds will benefit the church. The Amissville Baptist Church would like to thank all the families that brought their children to Vacation Bible School. We had over 180 adults and children registered, with an average daily attendance of 145. The children had a great time and they all learned that we are all a part of God’s family. Thank you to the entire volunteer group and to those who brought in snacks for the week. We thoroughly enjoyed Amissville By AMY HITT 937-3401 all the children. Camp Hogan officially closed last week, as the Hogan’s cousins from Hilton Head Beach left after a twoweek stay. The camp counselor, “Aunt Nan” had the days filled with activities which included necklace making, rock painting, fishing, hiking, swimming and reading, with a trip to the Rappahannock Library. Special two-day guests were Dylan and Evan Hitt. The camp will re-open next year, right after the end of school. See you then! We went to Virginia Beach over the weekend, and had a great time. The best seafood I have ever eaten was at Captain George’s. They had over 72 items on an all you can eat buffet and the stained glass ceilings were awesome! The boys had a great time in the sand, at the pool and at Ocean Breeze Water Park. The weather was great and the traffic wasn’t too bad.

Obituaries ■ Richard Menefee ; Sperryville resident I Richard Lee Menefee, 70. of Sperryville died Saturday, July 14 at University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville. ^ He was born April 2, 1931 in Rappahannock County to the late Floyd and Josie Pullen Menefee. Mr. Menefee attended New Hope Baptist Bible Church in Sperryville. He is survived by five children. Carl R. Menefee and Peggy J. Smoot, both of Sperryville, Margie J. Southard of Flint Hill, David Robert Dennis of Dennis Store By Carol Williams Rappahannock News Writer The community of Scrabble lost a driving force on the morning of July 9 as Robert Grayson Dennis unexpectedly passed away. Robert, a school bus driver and proprietor of the Dennis Store on the corner of Routes 626 and 680 for more than four decades, had walked across the road to check his good friend Jim “Nick” Hackley’s house when he suffered an apparent heart attack. His wife was called back from New Jersey, where she had been tending to a sister with major health problems. * Several hundred people attended the funeral services held at Shiloh Baptist Church in Woodville on Saturday, July 14. The Beulah Men’s Chorus, where his son-in-law Ronnie White is a member, flawlessly sang “How Great Thou Art” and “Amazing Grace.” The highlight of the service came when Robert’s eight grandchildren surrounded his flagdraped casket, delivered their own tributes to their grandfather, and then sang “Oh Happy Day.” The service was officiated by the Rev. Michael E. Tinsley Sr., and interment followed. Robert, a pillar of this small and closely knit community in the heart of .Rappahannock, was an easygoing, perceptive man whose wide smile and big-handed wave were a symbol of welcome for everyone who had occasion to pass through. One couple even developed a habit of riding their bicycles from Flint Hill to Scrabble just to pass a couple hours sipping Pepsi and jawing with Robert on the store porch. Born on May 24, 1930, Robert was a lifelong resident of Scrabble except for his stint in the armed forces. He served for two years in the U.S. Army during the Korean conflict and received an honorable discharge in order to return to this region and care for his ailing father, Cliff Dennis, who built and opened the Dennis Store in 1925. Following his demise, the store closed for a short period jof time but Robert reopened it in 1960, and it has served as an unquestionable social centerpiece since that time. RnKort ic cnrvivpH hv Vlis wife, Doris Kathleen Dennis; ’three grown children; eight .grandchildren, and one greatgranddaughter. Doris and Robert would have been married 48 years on July 10, the •day after his passing. His daughters, Angela Dennis White (husband ^Ronnie) and Melissa Dennis .Chambers (husband Fred), •and son, Robert Dennis Junior (>vife Brenda), all live in close proximity to the Dennis Store corner. His sister Edna Watts ; lives in Pensacola, Fla. Robert’s grandchildren are • "Tasha, Carissa, Ronnie Junior J(RJ), Matthew, Cory, Cierra, JCydney, and recent arrival jJade. His great-granddaughter, Tatyana, is 13 months old. Robert had a lifelong interest in vehicles and was known .to his friends as a driver with . >kill, intuition, and—in his jqarlier days—more than a . otreak of daring. He sold Ford motorcars for Moyers Motors in New Market, and later ran his own taxicab business in •$he Culpeper region. For the past 33 years, he drove a school bus for the Rappahannock School District. Representing the School Board, Frank Warner commented that Robert was an excellent bus driver and commended him for 33 years with no disciplinary actions, no accidents. The generations of children whom he touched and toted are also reflecting on their loss. In a letter written to the family, Brittney D. Smith, age 14, of Scrabble, said, “This is being written in the memory of my only bus driver. Ever since I started school, Mr. Dennis drove me just about every day to and from school. Always, always, always on time at 7:25 a.m. every morning. He was like a shepherd and we were his flock...his main concerns being See DENNIS, Page B8 ■ jJnijiizincj 1| by Randy I Minter The Value Of Planning Many older people do not preplan their funerals and the bereaved family may he forced to make decisions and purchase services and merchandise while undergoing emotional stress. In such circumstances, it is perfectly normal for the bereaved to experience feelings of guilt and confusion about planning the funeral. These feelings can be avoided by preplanning your funeral and sparing family members the burden of making arrangements during their time of grief, individuals who plan their own funerals may also realize the benefit of conveying particular meanings about themselves or about death. These individuals take the responsibility for choosing a type of service, musical selections who will preside, whether to have an underground burial or cremation and so forth. Preplanning your funeral offers everyone peace of mind because of the assurance it gives them. Your wishes are being met. At the Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton.

A monument installed By Wayne Baldwin Rappahannock News Writer Seventy-three years ago, this August, marks the passing of Emily Burke Dwyer. This lady was my maternal great-grandmother. She was just 33 years old, mother of five children all deceased now but one, my grandmother, Lillie Pullen. Lillie was only nine years old when her mama passed away. Little Louise was a nursing infant then, while Edward passed at only 21 days old from pneumonia. Great-grandmother was buried at the Bolen Cemetery near Pig Nut Mountain, now within Shenandoah National Park. Great-grandfather, Boot Dwyer, died many years later in 1955 and was laid to rest in Washington Masonic cemetery. When the park came, there was much confusion, hostility, etc., concerning the Department of the Interior’s stance on interments, cemetery maintenance etc., and basic assumption on our relatives’ part ihat they could not bury anyone there, thus the basic reason for my greatgrandparents not being put in the same place. The same reasons also prevailed the family’s thinking about placing a marker at Emily’s grave. In the mid 1970’s however, I had gone to park headquarters and spoke with the superintendent, then a Mr. Jacobson I think, about the rules and regulations regarding family cemeteries. I leaned that the government did not own them, the families did, and that we were permitted to maintain them under certain guide lines. With the assistance of a dear late cousin of mine, Jessie Gaunt Palmer, we took it upon ourselves to go to the Bolen cemetery and try to fix some of the crumbling stone wall. We hauled water, cement mix, etc., and spent a day mortaring sections of the wall. The same day, using a small cardboard box as a form, I made a makeshift tombstone for my great-grandmother Emily’s grave, using my finger to Dennis From Page B5 for our safety, health, and happiness.” His wife Doris was an active partner in running the store, which evolved in the last 75 years from selling feed to renting videos, in addition to providing the priceless convenience of not having to run all the way to town. Robert loved homemade desserts and one of his recent accomplishments was to DWYER m.

A photo of this appear in Jack and Carolyn Reeder’s book, Shenandoah Vistages. Later, finding that this “stone” I’d made had broken, I did another which has stood for some years. Grandmother, who is now in her 80’s, had her heart set on doing one last thing while she had some time left and she was able to see to it, and that was to buy her mother and two siblings a gravestone. In April, my uncle John Pullen, my mother, Florine and grandma and me went to Groves Monument Company in Winchester. From my research I had in hand the death certificates of the three and picking a stone grandma like, we gave them the pertinent information to be inscribed thereon. They told us it would be probably August before it would be ready. The monument company having called Uncle John a few days earlier, we were to meet them for the placement of the stone on Tuesday, June 26. By 10:30 a.m. we had all assembled at the end of Gid Brown Hollow (Route 614) and headed up to the Bolen Cemetery. Our trip up the one mile was indeed a pleasure this time, as the road had been worked by park employees. Scott Haines and Michael Stickel were the young men who did all the labor, digging the foundation and setting the stone. This was all attested to and witnessed by representatives of four generations of decide to lose weight and shed 100 pounds. He smoked El Producto Esceptionales cigars (“natural shade grown tobacco wrapper”), and he had time for anyone who had a story to tell or needed a little conversation to lift their spirits. “Are you lookin’ up?” he would say. “You just look up and everything will work out.” May Robert’s natural bom optimism help shore up his family and friends during this difficult time. One week after his life ended, his excellent and enduring legend has already begun to take shape.
