By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer Hard on the heels of the July 2 approval of amendments to the County’s telecommunications ordinance by the Board of Supervisors, Sprint PCS submitted its second “Application for Personal Wireless Service Facilities Use Permits” on July 27, 2001. This version of Sprint PCS’ cell tower application is radically different from their first attempt, and appears 4to represent a concerted effort to respond both to Rappahannock residents’ strenuous objections to the design and siting of the towers in the first go-round and to the recently approved amendments to the telecommunications ordinance that promote facilities that are less obtrusive. Gone are the Huntly lattice tower, the Buckner’s Corner and Sperryville monopoles, and the Woodville installation that would have dominated f viewsheds in the Flint Hill, F. T. Valley and Sperryville areas, and in Woodville, and newly proposed are generally smaller, more discretely sited, and “stealthier” facilities. There are seven proposed towers in the current Sprint PCS application and, collectively, they create a coverage area that straddles US 211 from Amissville through the Washingtonarea, and from the Warren-FauquierRappahannock boundary south to US 211 along the Route 522 right-of-way. Notably absent from the propagation maps included in the application is any significant coverage in the' F. T. Valley, Castleton and Sperryville areas. The easternmost tower is “Duxbury Isthmus,” a 199 foot monopole to be located at 148 Weaver Road in Amissville, north of Route 211, on land owned by Robert and Joan Duxbury. The next is “Nicholson Slope,” an 80 foot monopole to be located on a 2.59 acre 1 Democrats schedule nominating caucus ' The 15th Legislative District Democratic Committee has announced that it will hold a caucus on Monday, Aug. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Page County Courthouse in Luray for the purpose of nominating the Democratic candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates. The Democratic nominee will compete with the Republican incumbent for the responsibility of representing the people of the 15th District. Any registered voter interested in the Democratic nomination for the 15th House of Delegates seat must file a written declaration of candidacy along with a $25 filing fee by 5 p.m. on Aug. 13. Candidacy forms and further information can be obtained from Don Albright in Shenandoah, 540477-2019; Audrey Sedwick in Page, 540-743-5464; Linda Shuler in Rockingham, 540-298-9865; and Meredith Gorfein in Rappahannock, 540-675-3515 The newly created 15th Legislative District is the result of the state wide redistricting which takes place every ten years. All one hundred of Virginia’s Legislative Districts have been changed. The new 15th consists of the counties of Shenandoah, Page, Rappahannock and the Swift Run precinct of Rockingham County. On Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2001, in addition to choosing a new Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General, Virginians will also be electing the one hundred new representatives to the House of Delegates. This Democratic nominating caucus is an important step in the election process for the voters of the 15th Legislative District. parcel owned by Eugene and Evangeline Nicholson on Route 211 (14240 Lee Highway, Amissville). This tower, according to the application drawings, would be screened by a 70 foot treeline and photo simulations indicate only marginal visibility from US 211, despite its proximity. Another 80 monopole is to be located on a 2300 acre parcel at 38 Ben Venue Road in Ben Venue, owned by Louise Fletcher King Eastham. This site, designated “Eastham Slope,” appears to be wellscreened, both by the tree line and due to the fact that the monopole would be located on a hillside, but See TOWERS, Page A5 Schools set for fall By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer Standing in for Superintendent Dr. David Gangel’s “About our Schools' report to the Board of Supervisors, Assistant Superintendent Jack Raines noted that all teaching positions have been filled for the coming school year. Mr. Raines said that openings this year were comparable to those in recent years (sixteen this year, 19 last year, 15 in 1999, and 14 in 1998), and he provided the Board with a breakdown of the reasons for the vacancies. He also described his approach to teacher recruitment that focused on identifying well-qualified teachers who would embrace the benefits of working in Rappahannock County, and he said that he assisted five prospective teachers by finding rental housing for them. He expressed confidence that the staff so recruited would prove to be effective and stable. County Administrator John McCarthy updated the Board on major repair and maintenance projects at the schools. He said that the new water tanks for RCES will be fabricated by Aug. 7 and that they should be shipped to the site by Aug. 10 and installed by Jenkins Contracting. i Mr. McCarthy reported that a contract for the gymnasium floor at RCES had been issued to Recreation Plus of Richmond, and that installation will be completed before the end of August. He also noted that the problem with the lagoon at the elementary school is most likely due to the failure of the galvanized feed pipe that was installed when the lagoon was first constructed in the late 1960’s. He said that one solution is to replace that underground pipe with an exposed PVC pipe that feeds wastewater to the lagoon from the top, and that can be easily inspected and replaced in the event of future failure. A meeting is scheduled on Aug. 8 to obtain Health Department approval for the repair approach, and work will commence after such approval is obtained. t'uoiic comments The public comments portion of the meeting opened with a presentation to the Board of plaques by Donna Sheffield of the Rappahannock Athletic Association. The plaques expressed thanks to the Supervisors for their support of the two girls’ softball teams that competSee SUPERVISOR, Page A6 C is for Cows! ' * Photo courtesy of Ray T.

How many of you have memories of a person whose words you still remember, and whose presence in your life had a lasting influence? Often these people are teachers, whose formal role is teaching, but who become role models for their students in a far more important way than just teaching them the rudiments of a subject. Coaches, too, whose leadership imparts to their teams an unforgettable example of good sportsmanship, often leave a legacy of not only fine sports people, but also outstanding leaders in their community. I personally know of two teachers who went far beyond conveying subject matter to their students. These students carry into their lives the competence and dedication these teachers have modeled, and the memory of their accomplishments under the guidance of these mentors. , When a teacher (or an individual of any calling) feels passionately about something, whether it be math or soccer, or the skill of conveying in writing what they mean, it is catching! The excitement these individuals feel is passed on to everyone around them, including the few who choose to personally receive it by getting more involved in the work. But more than that, these “mentors” are given daily, a shot of their own enthusiasm, in watching the growth of their students under their guidance. And this is passed on to the community as the circle widens. The word mentor has a very The family of Robert G. Dennis Sr would like to express their appreciation for the overwhelming show of love and sympathy in the passing of our loved one. Thank you for the flowers, cards, food, calls and other acts of kindness. He was kind to everyone he met and the community gave back to the family that same kindness. May the Lord continue to bless each and every one of you. Rappahannock County is truly a unique place to live and raise a family. Sincerely, Doris Dennis Bobby, Angie and Missy J early beginning in Homer’s Odyssey. When Odysseus left home to fight the Trojans, he left his household in the hands of Mentor. Mentor’s wise guidance of Odysseus’ son Iblemachus empowered Telemachus, when grown, to travel long and far in search of his father. When they reunited, they joined together in regaining Odysseus’ throne. Thus began the use of the word mentor, over time, to mean wise guide, trusted friend, advisor and teacher. Well known examples of mentoring relationships are Socrates and Plato, Hydn and Beethoven, and Freud and Jung. Many people may not realize that this relationship flows both ways. It is not a process which produces a clone, but one in which the mentor’s ideas are exposed to the scrutiny of another, the mentee, or partner, whose response may bring an entirely new perspective to the mentor’s thoughts. In addition, the experience of being influential in the life of another can greatly enrich the mentor’s life. Mentors do not rescue, but partner, guiding the other in applying skills of his own to meet his goals. The mentor never assumes that he knows which way his partner should go, or the solutions to his problems, but puts his energy towards facilitating the other to find his own direction. In this way the mentor is being guided in his own process towards being a leader. It is this process which Starfish hopes to encourage in our community. Starfish is always looking for people who want to put their energy into a partnership such as this, who wish to enhance their own skills while working with another, and who want to pass on their enthusiasm for living in the process of doing it. It requires no special skill, just the motivation of spending time with another, and the desire to re-acquaint oneself with the energy of learning something new. Those interested in learning more about becoming mentors should call Ellen Neill-Dore at 675-1461. The current program continues to thrive. In June, Starfish adult mentors participated in a retreat, which brought them together with the executive committee in a workshop to explore some of the issues they have been encountering, and to enhance their communication skills. It gave them an opportunity to share their experiences with each other, and to brainstorm ways of increasing their success as mentors. The participants were enthusiastic about this format as an adjunct to the already existing Roundtable discussions, and workshops will be offered at least yearly in the future. They agreed on the value of getting support from others who are involved in the same process. The Starfish High School program continues to have much energy, and has successfully completed another year of mentoring. At the end of the school year, the 11 pairs met for a final evaluation and said a for; mal goodbye to each other, although many of them have formed a relationship which will endure through the rest of their high school career. New Mentors have signed up, and their training will continue in the fall, when they will be introduced to their partners'. Although the program was initially contained with a specific grade level, it has become much - more flexible to meet thie' demands of individual pairfc. ' The program will be expandfea this year to include regular meetings of the entire group at least monthly during resource period. This summer, the executive committee continues to meet to evaluate the past four years, and to implement new ideds into next year’s program. The committee is undergo- . ing some changes with the resignation of Judy Tble, a founding member. She is not replaceable, but Betty Mahoney has joined the executive committee as of June, and has been enthu-1 siastically welcomed. ; • B. Sherwood to show in Sperryville R.H.

Working in her studio and also en pleinaire, she enjoys capturing the subtleties and also the explosive power of light and color. Her methods and experience with oil painting can be best expressed in her own words: “Color and light have been the motivating factors in my work as a painter. Color carries it’s own light and expressive power . . .

And Don Pedro Colley, who was big Sheriff Little is coming, too.” Others attending from the show include: stunt drivers Cory Eubanks and Jack Gill, who performed many of the spectacular car jumps on the show; Jerry Rushing, on whose real-life mechanic who kept the General Lees rolling for seven seasons; Bob Aaron, who played 14 different speaking roles on the show; and special guest Tippi Pyle, wife of the late actor Denver Pyle, who played Uncle Jesse Duke. According to Jones, the show’s current popularity on cable has created an entirely new generation of Dukes viewers. “Our show is one of the few shows on television these days that people in the heart land can relate to,” says Jones, who went from Hazzard County to Washington as a two-term Georgia congressman. “It is a classic combination of action, good looking gals, slapstick comedy, and traditional values. The little kids think it is a new show!” DukesFest ‘01 will also feature displays, demonstrations, a Dukes swap meet, an auction of General Lee parts, plenty of catfish and barbecue, and several well-known country and bluegrass bands. Sperryville is located about 25 miles west of Warrenton, adjacent to the Shenandoah National Park. “I’d recommend that folks reserve their rooms now,” says Jones. “You can find our web site at cootersplace. com to check on directions and accommodations. I’ve got a feeling that this is going to be a memorable event in Southern cultural history!” “Yall come,” says “Cooter.” Delegate takes aim at contract By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer pi As a result of election redisftricting, Rappahannock County {recently lost Jay Katzen {(Republican, 31st District), but | rained Luray’s Allen jLouderback (Republican, 15th j District) as its representative to ! the Virginia House of Delegates. Jn At a press conference held jpib the morning of Aug. 6, Mr. J tiouderback underlined his con!* cem for all of his constituents, including those new Rappahannock County charges, by j expressing his strong opposition i to a draft contract that would , turn the Battle Creek site into a ' “mega landfill.” * * The contract, if executed by J tage County’s Board of j Supervisors, would result in the j importation of up to 1500 tons of [ trash per day from the District * of Columbia, Maryland, * Delaware, and Pennsylvania, as well as from local and regional sources. In addition, the contract creates the opportunity for the landfill operator to fill the site with trash from other sources by restricting only the collection points for the trash, and not the original sources— trash from New Jersey, for example, could be shipped to an approved Maryland transfer station, and then transshipped to the Battle Creek landfill. In this regard, Mr. Louderback is concerned that objectionable and toxic waste could more easily find its way to Page County if the sources are not better restricted. Delegate Louderback had other concerns as well—concerns about the fiscal viability of the operation and its benefit to Page County, concerns about the diminished life span of the landfill for Page County, and concerns about the hauling of 1500 tons per day through Page and neighboring counties. It is this last issue that he said is of concern to “our neighbors, Shenandoah, Warren and Rappahannock Counties . . . With transportation contractually restricted to local routes 211 and 340, Mr. Louderback envisioned up to “75 tractortrailers traversing their counties (Rappahannock, Warren, and Shenandoah) daily to and from our landfill.” It is expected that the Page County Board of Supervisors will approve the new contract shortly after a public briefing that is anticipated for Aug. 15, and that may be held at the Page County High School. Mr. Louderback is seeking comments from his constituents to the Page County Board of Supervisors. His district office can be reached at 540-7437644. * Garden Club Elects New Officers Photo courtesy of Susan Jones The new officers of Rappahannock County Garden Club are all smiles as they accept their new positions: from left to right, Treasurer, Helen Platt; Secretary, Jo-an Getsinger; Vice President, Mary Priest and President, Mary Revercomb.

Regardless of one's perspective on the !need for cell phones, the right of the Federates to jimpose their will on localities, the extent of damage to [the brain likely from a long-term relationship with a [personal wireless instrument, the effect of the electro[magnetic radiation emanating from a 199 foot •monopole on the migration routes of the ruby throated hummingbird, or the fact that rubidium-enhanced £ith$rs will render cell phones obsolete next week . . . St is time to be pragmatic. S The Telecommunications Act of 1996 dictates that no local jurisdiction may prohibit the emplacement of Jellular facilities, but it permits them to regulate to insure that such facilities are acceptable to the comSnunities in which they are located. ;'* The pressure applied by Rappahannock residents, jfonservation organizations and County officials has Slone that and has had an ameliorating effect on the Sprint PCS approach to Rappahannock-sited facilities. It is unlikely that Sprint PCS can or will Smprove their proposals. Their second application "shows significantly more sensitivity to the needs of the County—the towers proposed are, for the most part, placed within natural screens or they are "stealthy." It appears that they will not be a particularly onerous addition to our viewshed. .This application needs a rigorous review by County officials and residents, but the ancillary issues have been well-aired and just might stay in the background for awhile. It is most likely that the County government feels as though it has done its job on this #task and is ready to move on to the next. • Attend the public hearing in September ... air your views . . . and, most importantly, focus on the real issues and support our County officials.

Letters Clarification for Kid Pan Alley Project I wanted to thank all the people who were involved in the Kid Pan Alley Children’s Songwriting Project fund raiser. It was a wonderful event thanks to everyone’s efforts and the warm hospitality of our hosts, Eddie and Cindy Wayland. We also wanted to provide a little clarification regarding the Kid Pan Alley Project. As you said in your editorial the broad community support and involvement in the project is quite remarkable. I did want to point out though, that of the nearly $100,000 in cash and services contributed, 75 percent is in-kind services from the musicians, producers, and members of the community. Of the approximately $28,000 raised 70 percent came from two extremely generous grants from the William and Mary Greve Foundation and The Chateauville Foundation (founders: Lorin and Dietlinde Maazel). The CD we produced, 19 of the songs I wrote with the elementary age kids of the county, Tidal Wave of Song, will be available in early September. We’re currently panning a large outdoor release concert and celebration of the children’s creativity at Hearthstone School on Sept. 22 featuring most of the musicians who participated as well as the kids. All profits from sales will go to music enrichment programs in the county. Our goal is to raise all the money for the album production, concert and initial marketing up front so that the proceeds can go to the kids programs right away: We’re 75 percent of the way there. If you’d like to-con!tribute, hear some of the album, or find out more about the project, please visit our web site at ” www.kidpanalley.org or call of write: Kid Pan Alley, P.O.

Paul Reisler Kid Pan Alley Project Director Appreciation extended I would like to express my appreciation to the members of Companies 1, 2, 4 and 7 who responded to the bam fire on my property the evening of July 27. It is truly gratifying to live in a community where neighbors voluntarily respond to help neighbors in distress. I have checked the dispatcher’s log and see that the first engine reported on the scene 12 minutes after I placed the 911 phone call. I think that such a quick response would be enviable in any community — although I must say it seems like an eternity when one is watching his property being consumed. Although the bam and contents were a total loss, the firefighters remained on the scene for several hours performing the hot, dirty and hazardous work of containing the blaze and overhauling the embers. The men and women who responded to my need were all volunteers who I’m sure had much better things to do at home on a Friday night. I hope that your readers will keep my experience in mind the next time their local Fire and Rescue Company holds its fund drive and give generously. If they ever have to call upon them, their donation will be returned many fold by the excellent service rendered. Preston W. Angell Washington Abell couple sets fine example We are honored and grateful that Joyce and Richard Abell decided to contribute part of their tax cut check to Headwaters (Rappahannock News, July 25). Their generosity and community spirit is echoed over and over by so many members of our community. All of us benefit from the energy, support, and rewards offered by the wide spectrum o^’ vibrant organizations in our county. Sharing the tax cut checks many of us will receive will help these organizations pursue their worthwhile missions and strengthen the fab* rie of community. Thank you Joyce and Richard for settinga great example. The Headwaters Board of Directors Linda Tarry, Executive Director Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO Aug. 17, 1961 Luther Payne of Washington caught a seven pound 13 ounce German carp Saturday while fishing in Happy Creek on the Shenandoah River near Front Royal. Mr. Payne said that it took him more than 20 minutes to land the fish which was 33 inches long. He was using sweet com for bait. John B. Browning, son of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Browning of Flint Hill enlisted in the Army on Aug. 7. Browning, a 1961 graduate of the University of Virginia, will upon completion of Basic Training at Fort Jackson, S.C. be assigned to the Army Counter Intelligence Corps. A five-week first aid course will be given at Castleton fire house each Monday night beginning Aug. 21. The classes which begin at 7:30 p.m. will be conducted by Mr. John Parker of Remington, who is a qualified first aid instructor. 20 YEARS AGO Aug. 13, 1981 Business seemed to be bustling Tuesday at Thomas Baldwin’s fruit and vegetable market in Sperryville in spite of the slow down of traffic on Route 211 during the week since the opening of Interstate 66 from Gainesville to StrasDurg. .Many area merchants, including Baldwin, say they can see a difference in traffic volume. The school board Tuesday night accepted the resignation of Graham Spencer as principal of the elementary school. Mr. Spencer, who had served as principal for four years, resigned to accept & position as an elementary principal in Prince William County. Rappahannock Farmers Cooperative celebrated the second anniversary of its present location last weekend and among the specials were ten cent hotdogs and nickel Cokes served by 4-H’ers Charlotte and Amanda Magee of Amissville. The discovery of four rabid raccoons in Warren County just a few miles from the Rappahannock County line adds a new concern to local worries about a rabies outbreak in this area. The four diseased raccoons were captured during a ten day period in the 3,000 acre preserve near the National Park. Robert Dennis from Wakefield District, James Leake, Cliffora Miller and Donald Gore from Sperryville were nominated and approved to nil the vacancies on the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority at the Board of Supervisors’ meeting Aug. 10. 10 YEARS AGO Aug. 15, 1991 Robert Darby of Woodville formally announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the 31st District House of Delegates seat at the county courthouse Tuesday at noon. The 31st District includes all of Rappahannock and parts of Fauquier and Warren counties. Little campers of Camp Strange, Viewtown’s summer learning camp for kids ages 4 to 10 visited the new Rappanannock Library Aug.7. While gathering armfuls of books, they overheard grown-up conversation about the need to find money for chairs and other “important? things.” Back at camp, they decided to help. f The next dav, a hot Thursday, they set up to £ sell lemonade in the shade of the Schmidts’ I Viewtown Store and Mary Frances t Fannon’s Laurel Mills Store.

Visit our web site at www.timespapers.com Towers From Page A1 would not extend to the hill’s upper elevation. The fourth tower, designated “Rose Hill Silo,” is to be located on 439 acres owned by Thomas Massie on US 211 at Massies Corner. The Rose Hill installation is proposed to be a 90 foot simulated silo in which the cellular equipment is hidden. The silo would be readily visible from US 211, but designed to blend in by looking like a farm structure. The facility on the 204 acre parcel owned by Brooke Miller, “Miller Silo,” is to be similarly situated and designed—it would also be a 90 foot silo and would be -visible from US 211 in the Washington area. “Welch Slope” is to be another 80 foot monopole, and would be located on a 335 acre parcel owned by Arland Welch at 444 Zachary Taylor Highway— just south of Flint Hill. Like the “Eastham Slope” facility, this tower would be screened both the tree line and by the topography. The last of the seven towers applied for is “Huntly Slope,” proposed as a 100 foot monopole located on a 106 acre parcel also owned by Arland Welch. This facility is to be located near the intersections of Routes 522 and 673 at 9 Little Mountain Road in Huntly but, as proposed, would be installed within an existing silo that has been modified with a “stealth” cap. Present plans call for the application to be heard bv the Planning Commission at their September meeting (Sept. 19) and, because of the broad interest, the meeting venue will be the RCHS auditorium.

Unfortunately, many say noth- ; ing at all for fear of saying the wrong thing or serving up ; painful reminders. According to experts who specialize in grief, these omissions and awkward feelings can be averted by remembering to avoid giving advice, which might upset a grieving person. It also helps to refrain from saying that you know how the grieving person feels, as well as from making vague offers to do anything if needed. Instead, try to personalize your condolence by sharing a fond memory or a specific appreciation of the deceased. These offerings are likely to be warmly received.

The silo would be readily visible from US 211, but designed to blend in by looking like a farm structure. The facility on the 204 acre parcel owned by Brooke Miller, “Miller Silo,” is to be similarly situated and designed—it would also be a 90 foot silo and would be visible from US 211 in the Washington area. “Welch Slope” is to be another 80 foot monopole, and would be located on a 335 acre parcel owned by Arland Welch at 444 Zachary Taylor Highway—just south of Flint Hill. Like the “Eastham Slope” facility, this tower would be screened both the tree line and by the topography. The last of the seven towers applied for is “Huntly Slope,” proposed as a 100 foot monopole located on a 106 acre parcel also owned by Arland Welch. This facility is to be located near the intersections of Routes 522 and 673 at 9 Little Mountain Road in Huntly but, as proposed, would be installed within an existing silo that has been modified with a “stealth” cap. Present plans call for the application to be heard by the Planning Commission at their September meeting (Sept. 19) and, because of the broad interest, the meeting venue will be the RCHS auditorium. Wildlife issue By John Toler Rappahannock News Staff Writer An incident involving wildlife near Woodville last month has upset citizens and law enforcement officers, but will hopefully result in policy changes to prevent such actions from happening in the future. According to Rappahannock Sheriff Larry Sherertz, he was near Woodville on the evening of July 13 when he heard the radio call about an automobile collision involving a female black bear. Arriving on the scene, he found that a sow bear had been hit by at least one vehicle and was in “pretty bad shape.” The two bear cubs that had accompanied her — possibly six months old — were not hit, and had fled up a tall poplar tree beside the road. Additional law enforcement officers were called to the scene, including Dep. Robert Fincham, Trooper Charles Moore of the Virginia State Police, and Rappahannock County Game Warden Jim Bankston. “I asked Jim (Bankston) for an assessment of the sow’s condition, and I stand by his decision that she be destroyed,” said Sherertz. “And I knew that we would have to deal with the cubs, but I thought we had more solutions.” At that time, the accident had drawn a number of spectators, creating a traffic hazard. The possibility of using tranquilizer darts to bring the cubs out of the tree was discussed, but according to Sherertz, Bankston said that the closest supply was in Richmond, and it would take several hours to bring the darts to Rappahannock. In addition, the safe amount of tranquilizer for a cub bear would be difficult to determine. Bankston decided to destroy the cubs in the tree, in order to bring them down and conclude the incident. Although Sherertz did not like Bankston’s solution, he did not stop him, since “the game warden is responsible in incidents like this that involve wildlife,” said Sherertz. “It was very difficult for Jim to make this decision,1 and I know he is deeply troubled,” added Sherertz. “Personally, I was distraught over the shooting ... I was sickened by it.” • . Bankston could not be reached by presstime. Local citizens who have become aware of the shooting of the animals have reacted strongly, and according to Sherertz, several people have contacted the Sheriff’s Office and state wildlife management authorities, questioning the game warden’s actions. “I understand that this incident has been brought up to the Governor’s cabinet level, and that the Secretary of Natural Resources has reviewed it,” said Sherertz. “I also understand that a new policy has been written, and that they are in the process of preparing a press release.” As for the rationale for the shooting, Sherertz urged others to be understanding. “Nothing like this has ever happened before in Bankston’s career,” he said. “He has an extremely dangerous job to do ... Jim is not a callous individual, but he must look at these situations (involving animals) as wildlife management issues, not' ‘warm and fuzzy’ issues.” Perma Treat: pest and termite control FREE INSPECTION!

• Neighbors/B2 • Obituaries/B6 • Classifieds/B4, B5 • "Real E8tate/B6 August 8, 2001 An unsuspecting host V* Backyard Happenings Jim Bywaters * ■ One can certainly see some interesting things if we take the time to sit and watch. As I was doing just that one day last week I heard a persistent chirping, first in one spot, then another, in our yard. To my amazement, upon following this chirping, I witnessed quite a show. I’ve done articles about the parasitic Brown-headed Cowbird but I Was not expecting to see the unbelievable sight in front of me. After seeing the “immature” cowbird chirping away for food, I then saw its “host”. A Song Sparrow, half the size of the cowbird, was feverishly rushing here and there catching various insects to try to fill the cowbird. Since that time a week has past and the sparrow continues to feed the cowbird. Everywhere the unsuspecting Song Sparrow goes, the hungry cowbird follows. Birds are well known for their parental care, patiently incubating their eggs and then bringing food to their young until they are old enough to look after themselves. Certain birds, known as “brood parasites,” however, lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and have no social family life with their own offspring. The sparrow was obviously a victim of an adult cowbird that threw out the sparrow’s eggs and deposited its own. • Cowbird parasitism involves a lot of scouting. Probably for this reason, cowbirds are among the early arrivals during spring migration. Typically, the female watches a smaller bird build its nest. Then, usually in early morning under dim light, she visits her victim’s nest when the nest-builder is absent. The visit is made after a host bird laid eggs but before it has begun incubating its own eggs. The female cowbird lays her egg quickly and leaves, returning later to destroy at least one of her host’s eggs by jabbing it with her beak and flying away with it. She is able to distinguish between her own eggs and host eggs. About half of all host species tolerate the cowbird’s white with brown speckled egg, incubate it and raise the cowbird nestling as if it were its own offspring. Since cowbird eggs hatch more quickly than most host eggs and smaller birds are the most frequent targets, baby cowbirds are usually much larger than the host’s own babies. When possible, the baby cowbird tosses at least one of the host’s young out of the nest, ensuring it will get more food. Some birds will not tolerate a cowbird egg. The Gray Catbird and American Robin, for example, throw out cowbird eggs. Others bury the cowbird egg and their own first egg or eggs by building another nest floor over the eggs. Other species, such as the Northern Cardinal, simply desert parasitized nests. Birds most frequently parasitized by cowbirds include all species that nest in open trees, bushes or on the ground. Hole-nesting species like Woodpeckers, Chickadees and Eastern Bluebirds are seldom victims. While cowbirds are the only North American parasitic birds “obliged” to parasitism as a way of life, there are many other species that habitually lay their eggs in other birds’ nests. Starlings, sparrows and some finches all victimize other birds. Care that the hosts provide to the young parasites is care denied to their own young, with the result often being detrimental on the reproductive success of the nesting hosts and may affect their population num bers as well. Brood parasitism is an interesting rarity in the bird world that scientists are still trying to understand. Only a few species of birds are fooled into raising another’s chicks. Happy Birding!

Q Long View Gallery announces fall art show f > • • Long View Gallery in Sperryville will present the work of four area artists this fall. The first art show features the new still lifes and Virginia landscapes of Millwood artist David Williams. This show will open on Aug. 31 and run through Sept. 24 with a “Meet the Artist” reception at the gallery on Sept. 1 from 4 until 7 p.m. David Williams is one of the area’s most exciting young painters. Hjs oil paintings are impressionistic representations of nature, flowers, trees and even simple objects like a bowl of fruit. His refreshing painter approach vigorously embraces shapes, colors, shadows and the fall of light and instills a sense of calm familiarity with his subjects and landscapes. ; Washington, Virginia’s renowned artist and illustrator Steve Wagner’s new oil paintings will be shown from Sept. 29 until Oct. 22. There will be a “Meet the Artist” reception for Steve on Sept. 29. For years S^eve has been one of the country’s most outstanding illustrators working for Time Life Books, The Washington Post and National Geographic Society. However Steve says his most enjoyable project was designing the Official Rappahannock County Seal. ‘: Many of Steve’s oil paintings feature wildlife, nature, the beauty of Rappahannock County, and fre% quently reflect his love of the ocean. Steve’s work exhibits the technical mastery of the medium one would expect from an illustrator but then his imagination and creativity take over. His paintings of landscapes, flowers and birds are rendered in a masterful and harmonious blend of realism and impressionism. According to Steve, “Basically I just want to paint lovely pictures of beautiful things.” From Oct. 27 through Nov. 19 Richmond artist Eleanor Cox will show her new travel and garden inspired watercolors in the gallery. Eleanor will be welcomed with a reception on Oct. 27. Eleanor’s dramatic watercolors sing with an astonishing clarity of color and light achieved only by true masters of the medium. Inspired by her extensive travels in Europe, Eleanor’s travel inspired landscapes resound with the magic of the farms and villages she visited. Her en pleinaire paintings of her extensive gardens near Richmond are convincing examples of why watercolors are such an expressive medium for fresh landscapes and florals, captured in the moment. National Geographic Photographer and Woodville resident Chris Johns will be featured in a showing of his new African photographs from Nov. 24 through Dec. 31. On Nov. 24 Chris will be in the FALL SHOW: Steve Wagner's New Bulls & Buttercups beautifully captures pastoral Rappahannock scene on old Route 211 near Washington.

Chris’s work combines the highest technical skills, a deep concern for conservation and the eyes of a great artist. According to Chris, “To me, for a photo to be really great, it has to have two qualities: It communicates on a variety of levels - in layers - like a great work of art. It touches you emotionally.” Ferdetta and Robertson wins national honor 1 The team of John Ferdetta III and Henry Robertson worked together developing a national winning entry in Radio Controlled Transportation. About a Week after school was officially over for the qummer, John and Henry traveled to Richmond to attend the 23rd annual Technology Student Association (TSA) National Conference. '1 They joined over 3,000 other conference attendees from across the nation to participate in national level skill competitions, special interest sessions, and leadership sessions. /■“The National Conference is a highlight pf the school year for stu dents enrolled in tecnnoiogy education courses,” said TSA Chapter Advisor Ron Vickers, who still teaches at RCHS. “I would love to see many more of my students take the initiative to first learn the particulars of a contest, secondly work at Solving the hurdles of time, materials, and knowledge, and then actually compete at the regional, state and national levels. John and Henry have shown that they have the “right stuff” when it came to radio controlled cars. I’m very impressed with their accomplishments.” Photo courtesy of Hon Vickers TEAM: John Ferdetta Hi, left, and Henry Robertson recently participated in the 23rd annual Technology Student Association National Conference and was awarded seventh place in the nation.

Over seven pages are devoted to this contest in the curricular resource guide. So many regulations and specifications as to what one is allowed to do to best solve the problem lead John’s dad to note, the contest was complex enough for a college level event. Without his assistance and advice the student team mav not have I hey had previously won their contest at the state level by solving the problem in grand fashion. Mr. Vickers, Henry, and John attended the national conference for only one day since John and Henry had only, entered one contest. To the delight of all involved, John and Henry were awarded seventh place in the nation from a field of 23 top entries. Their peers in this contest came from the best technology schools in the nation. Their award was learned from the winners’ listing on the Internet. They will soon receive a achieved so much. “I am very pleased that the School Board has supported our TSA students year after year. I also thank the7 Curriculum Enrichment Group for their donation which made it less expensive for students attending conferences this year. I’ve always said that RCHS students ate among the best in the nation. With John being an upcoming senior and Henry an upcoming junior, I expect they will be able to prove again and again how true this is,"concluded Mr. Vickers.

It’s sauerkraut making time!: This is the time of year when the gardens are producing many kinds of vegetables, including cabbage. There are many ways to prepare cabbage, fried cabbage, boiled cabbage (the liquid from this is called “pot liquor”, which is really good with com bread) cole slaw, cabbage rolls, using the leaves to cover seasoned hamburger and rice. When any of these were prepared, we always trimmed the cabbage core and cut it into sticks so we all could have one. Then there was sauerkraut. In order to keep many vegetables into the winter that are normally kept in a basement, they would buiy them in the eround. This meant they would dig a deep hole or trench in the ground. It would be covered with straw or broom sage, and as potatoes, turnips, apples, and cabbage were put in, each layer would be covered with straw to prevent rotting, and made it easier to get out. Enough dirt was put on top of the mound to keep it from freezing. You would remove the dirt from the side to take out whatever was needed. The dirt was then put back until you needed more. You could keep these until well into the winter. Cabbage is one vegetable that is not good canned as it becomes overcooked, so they would make sauerkraut. The Germans gave “sauerkraut its name, which means “sour cabbage”. It is made with shredded cabbage fermented in a brine of its own juice with salt. Non-iodized is used. Canning and pickling salt can be purchased at almost any supermarket. When the garden was planted, there was always a row of cabbage plants. These would mature at almost the same time and were used to make into sauerkraut. A sauerkraut making day was a busy day. All the cabbage would be gathered early in the morning. The outside leaves Sperryville By SALLY KEYSER 987-8471 were removed and the cabbage was carried to an outside table that was set up in the shade. This was done to keep the mess outside. Each head of cabbage was cut or shredded by hand. A pestle or mall was used to bruise the cabbage along with added salt. This was put into a stone jar until all the cabbage was used up. Cabbage is 93 percent water and the salt would draw the juices from the cabbage. The cabbage and salt were packed until the liquid was over the cabbage, this was called the brine. A plate and a weight was placed on top of the jar with a white cloth over it to keep the jar clean and keep the sauerkraut from turning dark. Sauerkraut was made when the moon was pointing up. This kept the brine up and the end result was nice white sauerkraut. The curing took about six weeks. This changed the color, flavor and texture of the cabbage. When the fermenting, bubbling ceased, the sauerkraut was ready for canning. This was done in a cold water bath, leaving one half inch head space from the top of the jar. There are many traditions, the Dutch eat chicken stuffed with sauerkraut at Christmas as a way to end the year. Sauerkraut and pork as a first meal of the year for good luck. St. Patrick’s Day it was com beef and sauerkraut. Try sauerkraut on hot dogs, or eiyoy a sauerkraut salad. Viewtown social notes Tommy Frazier of Madison was a weekend guest of Gerry Corbin and family. Joey Reid and Sheila were Saturday guests of Joey’s grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Acrey Dodson. Birthday wishes are extended to Junior Hawkins who will celebrate his 12th birthday on Aug. 15. Josephine Pickett is a patient at Fauquier Hospital and is improving.

Bible School will be Aug. 13 until Aug. 19. If you are watching your salt intake, rinsing the sauerkraut can reduce the sodium significantly. The garden was very important as it provided food for the family all year. Sauerkraut Salad 1 small can chopped sauerkraut 1 can whole com (drained) 1 chopped green pepper 1 onion chopped 1 carrot grated 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup vinegar 1/3 cup salad oil 1/4 cup water Combine all vegetables.

The Cal Ripkin Southeast Regional All Star Tbumament for age 12 and under was held last week in the Jim Barnett Park in Winchester. Our grandson, David Keyser, was on the host Winchester team. We were there for the opening ceremony, and what enthusiasm was shown as each team went onto the diamond carrying their state flag, Alabama, Georgia, Fauquier, Virginia, Eastern North Carolina, Western North Caroline, South Carolina, Glen Allen, Tennessee and Florida. When each team lost two games their flag was removed. You could tell who was in the game by looking at the remaining flags. Host Winchester came in fifth place, with Georgia winning the tournament. They will participate in the Babe Ruth series in Indianapolis. The heavy rains of the weekend caused games to be canceled. On Monday morning helicopters were brought in to dry the field so the games could continue. Each game was played in a professional manner, and they were all “winners” to be able to participate in such a tournament.
