When added to the County contribution of $2,000 and the $11,525 in donations received (as of the Board of Supervisors meeting of Aug. 6), the Town's contribution leaves the historic survey fund still some $5,500 shy of the $20,000 estimated survey budget. Jeff Light, who has been serving as the coordinator of an ad hoc committee of County organizations and | individuals who are promoting the survey, told the Council of the process by which the survey program would be implemented with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, and of the benefits to the County and to the Town of Washington. He noted that the survey will, among other things, provide a baseline of knowledge of the County’s historic resources that will “become a foundation for future work.” Contributions are being accepted by the County and are tax deductible. Checks should be sent to John McCarthy, County, Administrator, Historic Survey Prcjject, P.O. Box 519, Washington, -Var. 22747, and Should be made payable to “IVeaBurer,- HappahafffibcK County” and designated “for Historic Survey”. Kramer expired special use permit The Council again discussed Peter Kramer’s expired special use permit and the uncompleted work on his Gay/Jett Street location. Though Mr. Kramer was to have been contacted and asked to attend this meeting, that failed to occur and a request to attend the September meeting of the Tbwn Council will be issued. Town Attorney John Bennett said that he had spoken to Town Zoning Administrator John McCarthy about Mr. Kramer’s failure to complete required work, and that they had concluded that the Town had two options: 1, to do nothing; and 2, to have Mr. McCarthy send a notice of violation that outlines the deficiencies and provides time to correct. “If action ha* not been tak*n,” Mr. Bennett continued, “Mr. McCarthy would need direction from Council regarding penalties.” Mr. Critzer suggested that no action be taken by the Council until Mr. Kramer is present, and Mayor Willis agreed to inform Mr. Krame that action will be taken next montl and to request his presence at th meeting. Treasurer’s report Mayor Willis presented the Tbw: financial report for the month. H noted consolidated assets o $651,711.62 through the period down some $1400 from that reportei in July, and Water Works curren assets of $9,332.06 through the em of the July period. Other activities • Mayor Willis reported that th< Rappahannock National Ban! requested that the public hearing oi its Special Use Permit be continuee to the September meeting of the Town Council, and the Counci approved the request. • Council member Charlie Tompkins, following up on his announcement last month tha RAAC’s Fourth of July leadershij had all chosen not to continue te work on the celebration, informed the Council that RAAC will begin i series of community meetings to dis cuss the event. The first meeting ie tentatively scheduled for Sept. 20.

School goals stated By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer “Full accreditation for both schools, preparation and submission of the International Baccalaureate application, and Effective Schools implementation” are the three administrative annual goals for this school year, Superintendent Dr. David Gangel told the School Board at its August meeting. “They are all interrelated-in order to move the school system forward,” he continued.” He said that accreditation has to become routine, “and this is the year to do it.” Dr. Gangel referred too to a memo to the School Board from former Assistant Superintendent Mary Ann Biggs, who is assisting Rappahannock County Public Schools (RCPS) in launching the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. He noted that Mrs. Biggs said that the process of applying for the program is more than just Filling out an application form-that it is a process that “takes many steps and requires a school system to focus clearly on curriculum and to do some analysis and preparation.” Dr. Gangel said that he is looking forward to the application that will be “a catalyst for high expectations.” He anticipates completing the IB application by the end of the year. In his report to the School Board Dr. Gangel also noted progress on six-year plan development. He said r that he had met with school adminisi trators and “fleshed out” the draft b plan that will project what RCPS “will “look like in six years-.-” Principals will take the plan to the teachers and staff for their input, j and Dr. Gangel will report back to 3 the Board in a month or two. f The Superintendent provided an update on summer schools mainte* See BOARD, Page A8 I Cooter’s to host | “DukesFest ‘01” : M :,r- X ■ iS t Cooler’s Place, the “Dukes * of Hazzard” theme store and - museum in Sperryville, is gear- i ing up to host DukesFest *01, “tiie biggest Dukes of Hazzard ? event ever,” according to Ben ^ Jones, the former congressman .» who is the proprietor of the : . busy Blue Ridge Mountain * tourist stop. « “If you ever loved The t« Dukes’, mark your calendar for £ Aug. 24, 25 and 26, says Jones, £ who played Cooter the sidekick $ to Bo and Luke Duke on the still popular 80’s television L series.

Teaching a new dog old tricks ' Angus spent his first year h£re in Rappahannock with his foster parents, Yogi and Karen Bear. During that year he made many friends. The following article appeared in the U.S. Customs newspaper in December 2000. It tells of his adventure after leaving home apd heading off to school, graduation and then a job. K-9 Angus, the sixth puppy born from the first litter of the joint U.S. C. ustoms/Australian Breeding Program, is already a- star example of the program. Born on March 13, 1999, Angus is a full blooded Black Labrador Retriever. Angus spent his first year living with a foster family who taught him a few of the “finer points of life,” including ht>w to socialize with people and with other animals. Introducing puppies to these essential qualities is a tough but admirable job that takes special, dedicated people. It’s also a key to the success of the breeding program. . After the year with his foster family, Angus was returned to the Canine Enforcement Center (CETC) ip Front Royal, to begin his detector dog training. Angus’ training began in June 2000 in the first passive currency detector dog class taught at CETC. While the ten week training program for currency detection is very similar to the training for narcotics detection, CETC staff believe it is more difficult, because currency has such a low odor level compared to narcotics. In the program, Angus and his -classmates are trained to sit when they detect amounts in excess of the $10,000 threshold. Angus excelled in his training and graduated in August 2000. A nose for trouble Angus was partnered at CETC with a Canine Enforcement Officer to begin his official career as currency detector dog. On his very first break-in day at an international airport, Angus alerted to several passengers on a flight that the Outbound Team was interviewing. His discovery resulted in a seizure of more than $24,000 and $100,000 in forced currency or monetary instrument reports (CMIRs). Since his phenomenal first day on the job, Angus has alerted to more than $600,000 in forced CMIRs, and has helped in five additional seizures totaling almost $112,000. Not bad for a dog that is still completing his break-in period. “Angus is a joy to work with, and very smart. If he could drive the van,” jokes the CEO “I’d probably be out of a job!” Angus earned his name by being in the “A” litter. All puppies in the program are named after the first letter of the litter in which they are born. In fact, the foster family that had Angus now has a puppy from the “E” litter, named Ethan. Angus has since alerted to more than 2.1 million dollars and continues to love his job. Ethan left home in February, started classes and then graduated in July 2001. Felix will begin classes in August 2001. Civil War Round Table guest will talk on ‘Black Horse Cavalry9 Fauquier County produced famous company of Confederate cavalrymen, whose exploits will be discussed at the next meeting of the Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table, on Tuesday, Aug. 21 at 7:30 p.m. The meeting, at the Old Sperryville Bookshop, will feature guest speaker Lynn Hopewell, who has been studying the Fauquier cavalry unit and its members for 25 years. The horse soldiers from Fauquier County formed a company of the Confederate 4th Virginia Cavalry regiment, but were better known by their unofficial name, the “Black Horse Cavalry.” From their storied fighting at the First Battle of Manassas in 1861 to their later service as protective escorts for General Robert E. Lee, commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, the Black Horse Cavalry gained fame as “the bravest of the brave.” Mr. Hopewell, who is working on two books about the Fauquier troopers, has researched their story and will present it in his illustrated talk. The meeting is free and open to the public. The Round Table welcomes anyone with an interest in the Civil War to its monthly meetings, but nonmembers should call the bookshop at 987-8444 to reserve space and for more information. The Old Sperryville Bookshop is on Main Street in the historic village of Sperryville, across from the post office. ELEGANT CABINETRY CURLY MAPLE AND HEART PINE OUR SPECIALTY IMADISON.

The final test was a 12 mile-timed ruck march across the hilly Hawaiian terrain. Each soldier was equipped with a combat load in excess of 50 pounds along with a M-16 rifle. Many regard AAS as the ten toughest days in the U.S. Army. Cadet Baldwin joined the prestigious ranks and was awarded the Air Assault Qualification Badge.

Board to hear how making music makes kids smarter - There’s a mountain of scientific evidence that music instruction improves brain development and increases test scores among school children. That’s the central point of a presentation to be made by Lynne Fournier to the local school board. “Research has shown that learning to play an instrument can help develop parts of the brain that are necessary for math and science reasoning,” commented Lynne Fournier of RCHS Band Boosters Organization, a local group that advocates music in school curricula. “Once parents understand how music can help their children grow, they become strong supporters of our school music programs. This is a national trend that we’re happy to promote right here in our district.” One study that will be highlighted in the presentation was conducted with 136 second graders in California. A segment of the group was given piano instruction and used math puzzle software. After just four months they scored well over 100 percent higher in proportional math tests than the children who did neither. They also scored 31 percent higher than students who only used the math software. This is compelling evidence that music can have a powerful impact when combined with math study. “There is also solid evidence that students involve3 in music programs score high-! er on their SAT’s that students! who don’t study music,” added; Fournier. “Music students scored 52 points higher on the! verbal portion of their SAT^ and 37 points higher in math( (89) points combined) than those without musical instruc-! tion. We want to encourage all parents to support our local music programs and to giv<! their children all the advan* tages that music can bring.” “ Parents and others interested in finding out mor^ about music making and braia development can contaca Lynne Fournier at 987-8575.

Campers and teens enjoyed a great week with exciting activities. One of many activities of the week included three class periods a day. Volunteers from Rappahannock County were Jennifer Gray, who instructed the craft class; Cheryl Taylor, archery instructor; Holly Propst, art instructor; and Bill Welch, who was one of the rocketry instructors. We really appreciated the adult volunteers’ support. Hazel Zinn-Day conducted Power Point classes, teaching youth this new exciting program that is now a county, district, and state 4-H competition. Campers also enjoyed meeting in “pow wow” groups to practice for the evening campfire program, which is mostly of Indian culture/ritual. Exciting evening programs were a pool party, dances, 4-H talent show, and a luau. Every evening during 4-H camp was concluded with the campfire program. One of the many highlights of the campfire was the retiring of the American Flag. Campers witnessing this beautiful, moving ceremony said it was one that would never be forgotten. The retiring of the American Flag taught campers about the symbol of freedom that represents all of our freedom and to remember those who gave of their lives for our freedom. Many lasting 4-H friendships were made and will never be forgotten. Come and join the Rappahannock County 4-H program this fall to create more lasting friendships and experiences you will never forget. For information, please call the Rappahannock County Extension office at 675-3619. If you are a person with a disability and desire any assistive devices, services, or other accommodations to participate in any of these activities, please call 675-3619 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, five days prior to the event.

Babe Ruth programs lends on high note i By Mauri Payne * Rappahannock News Writer » The Rappahannock Athletic Association Babe Ruth Jjeague spring softball program ended on a very high note in fcarly July with appearances by |wo of fts all-star teams at the state tournament held outside Staunton this year. ,. RAA’s ten and under team, the District 3 champions and RAA’s first ever softball district champs, won their first state game before falling to two very tough teams from Blue Ridge and Madison, r- The Rappahannock team had defeated the Madison team on its way to the district championship, but as RAA’s hoaches stated, Madison came f to win their state game against the Rappahannock little girls. District 3 runner up 16 and under team, Rappahannock, fought hard in the heat, but came up short in both their state games. This was the first appearance ever at the state games, but the girls played extremely well, losing their games by slim margins to Blue Ridge and Greene (the eventual state runner up). Also noted was the fact that the other teams playing in this age division consisted primarily of 16 year olds with 15 year olds to fill in their rosters. Rappahannock’s team consisted of two 15 year olds, six 14 year olds and five 13 year olds. After their 2001 performance at state, the girls and their coaches anticipate a very strong outcome in 2002 and 2003. District 3 consists of teams from Greene, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock counties. Rappahannock Babe Ruth softball offers spring and fall programs for girls ages eight through 16 living in Rappahannock, Culpeper, and Fauquier counties. Registrations for the fall season are now underway. For more information, contact Mauri Payne at 937-4142 or 675-3729, Debbie McCormack at 937-7723, or Suzanne Nelsen at 937-3097. Ui STMSj ‘U STMIS.

The 2001 CMR Farm Fair was scheduled for the same time as the American Dairy Goat Association National Show. Ben had only been raising and showing dairy goats for three years. It would be a bit premature to go to the National Show in 2001, but the show was being held in West Springfield, Mass. Ben thought he had a chance of convincing his family to take him 500 miles to Massachusetts. The 2002 National Show was slated for Pueblo, Colo, and Ben was sure he and his goats would not be going on a 1600-mile road trip. So Ben decided to skip the Farm Fair and go to Nationals. It was a good choice. Ben decided to enter just two milking does and two doe kids in the breed classes at the National Show. He also entered the youth events: showmanship, the team fitting contest, and judging and management. On Friday, July 27 at 7 p.m., everything was loaded in the truck and trailer and Ben left Sperryville for the 11 hour trip to Nationals. By the end of the day Saturday, 350 exhibitors and over 1000 goats from 48 states and Canada had arrived in West Springfield. The youth events were held on Sunday and Ben went unplaced in showmanship. He had a great time in the team fitting contest competing on a team with two youth from Florida and young lady from Connecticut. (Each team of four youth was given a dirty goat kid and 30 minutes to clean, clip and spit polish the goat kid. Teams were judged on organization, t-itutii Win^.1‘jurb •■'‘Vi fi.tUsnM e' «-fr <Tot) JfjMItf « . Me Ben Rupchis and his many trophies. smoothness, handling of the goat, cleanliness of the work area and final presentation.) Ben’s team finished their goat beautifully and in time, but their final presentation fell well short of some of the more experienced teams. Again, Ben went unplaced. The judging and management contest consisted of three phases: judging a class of Nubian milking does, judging a class of LaMancha doe kids and finally, a written exam of 60 questions on management related topics. Ben’s combined score earned him first place in Junior Judging and Management! When the youth events ended, about half of the youth exhibitors went home. The remainder stayed to compete in the National Show against dairy goat breeders from all over the U.S. Ben showed in the Alpine breed division on Tuesday and Wednesday. Knowing that each class had almost 40 entries. Ben hoped one or two of his goats could ‘make the cut' < place in the top 20). Hig biggest win came in his first class when his Bearl£‘ Rebellious Magpie placet) forth in a class of 36 doe kids^ Bearly Rebellious Whimbrel placed 14th in a class of 31 intermediate kids and Magpie’s dam, Dixie-Doeg Texas-K Hope Chest placed 13th in a class of 41 two-yeair old milkers. J At the closing awards cesrjemony on Saturday, Aug.'4 Ben was named the Premier Youth Alpine Exhibitor. Then he asked his mom if he could go to Pueblo. In the meantime, Ben hopes to continue his success by representing Rappahannock Count' * at the Maryland State •’ ind the Virginia State Fun later this summer.

What ys happened ? For the first time, Northern Virginia Community College may have to turn students away. There is not enough money to provide the full-time professors and the needed classroom for the growing fetudent population. ! While this problem has not reached Lord Fairfax {Community College or its still-growing Fauquier campus, Rappahannock and other students who may be planning on taking classes at the NOVA campuses in Manassas or Leesburg might run into problems. ; Since its establishment in 1970, Virginia’s community college system has provided solid educations to those seeking associate degrees, and has opened doors to multitudes who have later transferred to four-year {colleges. ' So, why has this happened? • Dollars for the construction at NOVA campuses were frozen because the Virginia General Assembly {and Gov. Jim Gilmore went head-to-head on the state {budget, a battle that ended in an impasse that is “wreaking havoc on Virginia’s already strained higher education system. • Gov. Gilmore has not proven to be a friend of higher education. The toll that has been wrought on the Students who depend on NOVA for an education that provides marketable skills is clearly visible in the Secaying buildings on some of the older campuses, the lack of current technology, too little money for teacher pay and now, the possibility that students may be jurned away. 2 Across Virginia, there are many new voters who Jvill be casting their first ballots in the governor’s race this fall. Many will have endured the problems caused by Gov. Gilmore’s policies - from crowded or jput-of-date classrooms to seats in community college classrooms that are no longer available to them. « They have had to struggle to get through situations created by an administration that has shown «uch little regard for higher education. But they’ll ■know what to do about it as they approach the ballot i>ox. Rappahannock Today Rappahannock News Photo/Barbara C.

Faith-based initiatives By James L. Oyster, J.D., L.L.M. , Rappahannock News 4 Contributing Writer There was a recent article in your paper criticizing George Bush’s “faith-based initiative” program. The writer opined that President Bush’s program was unconstitutional. I disagree. While I respect the author of that article, I disagree with his statements regarding the constitution. : The definition of “liberal” as it appears in Webster’s First Edition, reads as follows: “Of a free heart; free to give or bestow; not close or contracted; munifi(jent; bountiful; generous; giving largely; as a liberal donor...” • < Another definition given in ■Webster’s reads: “Free; not literal or strict; as a liberal construction of law.” | Clearly, the President’s program promotes a “liberal” ideal. The intent is to find new and better ways to meet the needs of our nation’s poor. That is indeed a “liberal” cause in its most pure $ense. True liberals should support such a concept. , The argument against Mr. Push’s initiative is that it violates the First Amendment. This argument is premised on (he assumption that the intent of the First Amendment is to build a “wall of separation” lpetween state and religion. « The First Amendment feads: “congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...” There is nothing in the Constitution about a wall of separation. That concept was in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson. It is one man’s opinion regarding the purpose of the First Amendment. By analogy, it would be like taking a comment made by Senator Ted Kennedy and making it the definitive explanation of a law passed by Congress today. The comments of one man may be considered, but they should not be used as the fundamental tfnderpinning of any law. In order to claim that the faith-based program is uncon ;"Y~ stitutional, it is necessary to apply a nonsensical reasoning process to constitutional construction. First one must apply a “liberal” construction of law to read the concept of “wall of separation” into the constitution. Then one must abandon liberal thinking and apply a strict construction to the concept of wall of separation so that any linking of Federal funds and religious institutions is automatically precluded without any room for “liberal” interpretation of the concept. This is convoluted reasoning at best. The clear intent of the First Amendment was to prevent the practice that was in effect in England of having an official state-established religion (the church of England). The state was not to prefer one religious institution to another. As long as the state treats all religions organizations on an equal basis, there is no violation of the First Amendment under a “strict construction” approach to the constitution. Nor should there be a problem if a “liberal” approach is consistently applied. A liberal approach to interpretation permits the interpreter to read into the constitution a “wall of separation” between state and religion. However, it also permits the concept of wall of separation to be interpreted in a liberal manner. So long as the program does not involve the promotion of religious beliefs per se, a liberal interpretation of the wall of separation would permit the activity, which is unrelated to the religious activities of the institution. I understand that there are those who can and who will make a strong argument that giving any of the government’s money to religious organizations is a violation of the principal of separation of church and station. However, they are insisting on a “strict construction” of a “liberal” interpretation of the constitution. Separation of Church and state is simply not in the constitution unless put there by “liberal” interpretation and thus it makes no sense to apply the principle of “strict construction” to separation of church and state, which derives from a “liberal” construction in the first place. The fact is that all Americans, whether liberal or conservative, should support the concept of helping the needy in our great land. The apostle James wrote 2,000 years ago: “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction...” He was referring to the practice of providing for the needs of those who were unable to help themselves. Assistance of the needy is an age-old concept that conservatives can support as a “timehonored” tradition of religious institutions (conservative tend to believe that care of the needy should be the job of the church and not the state). Likewise, assistance of the needy is a “liberal” concept that is supported by most liberal thinkers in our country today. What is difficult about Mr. Bush’s program is that it combines conservative and liberal ideals. Mr. Bush has proposed that the government and religion form a partnership to see that the needs of the poor are better met. As Americans, we need to be “liberal” enough to put aside the political differences that divide us on this issue. The ultimate purpose (of assisting those who cannot help themselves) is “pure and undefiled.” We need to focus more on the objective of helping the needy and less on our political agendas. Let us not defile the objective of helping out our poor and needy by “closed” thinking that puts the law in a straitjacket and serves no real purpose other than partisan political ends. Another reader responses to Jones/Tieckelmann Tieckelmann and my Boston - Iferrier have a lot in common. When they grab onto something they will not let go! * . .On May 30 Ben Jones wrote a sensitive (and I thought nonicon troversial) article on the tragedy of a young person’s life lost in this county through a Jieroin overdose. A week later, we got a largely defensive response from Tieckelmann loaded with questionable statistics.. • : The source of “liars, damn liars and statistics “is not Twain fis commonly believed, but Disraeli as reader Pond pointed Trat-earlier in the spring. One of Tieckelmann’s stats is unhappily correct; the percentage of the world’s prisoners in US prisons. Amnesty International does confirm the US has the dubious honor of being Number One at . 21-25 percent, which did aston; ish me and all the wiggling around about other countries simply shooting wrongdoers, tho§e being “reeducated”, the hupiber in the US awaiting charging or trials, etc. isn’t going to change the numbers that much but where •Tieckelmann exaggerates is the number in prison for drug ,pharges or convictions which is •more like 30 percent than 80 percent (since 1984, 400K of the JJ.2M in prisons are there for [dealing drags), though there is ‘probably some argument room jiiere as to motivation for crimi•6al activity. *t ^Tieckelmann is wrong in Jwwfeher stat; the number of •deaths (75 percent) from heroin ^adulterants. Most heroin deaths fare overdoses because the heroJdh hasn’t been cut enough. JFieckelmann’s point that drug •dealers cannot contribute to apolitical campaigns and consequently are denied the access to ^politicians and policy wielded by ■die liquor lobby, is perhaps true The exchange between "Jones and Tieckelmann got per; sonal pretty quickly and both > qhowed they had well thumbed Sihesauri, book-marked at "“Twain". Unfortunately the debate soon petered out and focused instead on alcohol and finally, the evils of tobacco. I give • Tieckelmann credit for attempting to revive debate on one of the most critical issues of our it chop logic. times. The latest (Aug. 1) essay from Tieckelmann opens the possibility for discussion on a broader topic and that is our government’s current ineffective, counterproductive and inequitable way of dealing with out of favor drugs. We do accept caffeine, tobacco and alcohol but draw the line at marijuana, cocaine and heroin. I have read that the biggest cash crop in the US is marijuana and that widespread chewing of coca leaves in Central and South America is a cheap equivalent of a cup of “Jo”. Heroin, most of it now coming pretty freely into the US, transiting through Mexico, thanks to NAFTA (see DEA.gov for an interesting. web site) is pretty unforgiving in that the usage range is so narrow and it is so disorienting to the user that most think any responsible, civilized government should always ban it. Users and userdealers however should go into rehab programs not prisons. We cannot legalize heroin (acetylated opium) or opium. China’s sad history here is enough of an object lesson. The others, including amphetamines, should receive more study. Tieckelmann’s argument for the defederization of existing drug laws seems to me a good first step. Many Congressmen and the DEA recognize that major mistakes were made in their Sentencing Reform Act of 1984. It will take courageous politicians to modify this law. G.W. Bush did, to his credit, go on record in his campaign that his administration will address the disparity in sentencing between crack and powdered cocaine users. Both are cocaine but the crack is the “free base" whereas powdered cocaine is a cocaine salt, yet the legal penalties mandated by Congress dictate that 50 grams of crack define the possessor as a dealer whereas 500 grams (more than a pound) of powdered cocaine are required for the same punishment. The cheaper crack is chosen in the inner city and consequently over 80 percent of those in prison for crack dealing are blacks. Senator Sessions (R., Ala) and Schumer (D., NY) are working on new legislation to equalize treatment for cocaine offenders. The majority of the powdered cocaine offenders are Hispanic so there are politics galore here. Mandatory minimum sentencing is supposedly also under review by the Bush administration as many in Congress realize inequities and unusually severe punishments were created by the 1984 legislation (see Wall St. J., 8-9-01 for an excellent discussion of the problem). Candidate Bush is also on record as saying “long minimum sentences for the first-time user may not be the best way to occupy jail space and/or to heal people”. At this stage, let’s deal with fairness of existing law and perhaps examine defederization as Tieckelmann argues. For decriminalization, we would have to be prepared to five in a society where a certain percentage of the population could be “floating on grass" or on a coke high and we hope are not at the controls of a locomotive or directing a plane landing. Alcohol is self regulating in that overindulgence in this depressant just knocks the user out or is so evident to companions that certain activities (like driving a car) are usually placed off limits. Someone hallucinating or experiencing altered perceptions may not be so easy to spot. How much use of “perception modifying” drugs a modem high-tech society can handle and still function is the critical question that has to be dealt with first. Once some toothpaste is out of the tube, it might be hard to squeeze back in. Still we cannot just sweep this problem under the rug as Tieckelmann reminds us. Jones, since you indirectly put this issue out there for discussion!, what’s your take “Up in the Hollow*? Tom Spande Down in Jenkins’ Hollow Sperryville Up In The Hollow #16 By Ben Jones Rappahannock News Writer American history books tell us that “Reconstruction” ended with the Compromise of 1877, when Rutherford B. Hayes cut a deal with Congress to screw Samuel Tilden and steal the Presidency. Although it is little discussed today, it was a most critical period in the American experience. It created a reaction that lingers on and permeates race relations and attitudes. The arrogance and cruelties of the post war Southern occupation engendered little beyond bitterness, and its cynical demise led to the creation of Jim Crow laws, strict segregation and “white supremacy”. There followed a hundred years or so of ongoing demagoguery by regional and national politicians, which hijacked the hopes of well-intentioned leaders (South and North) to heal the wounds of war. Black people, who had suffered the indignity of chains and slavery for hundreds of years, who had been denied any possible inheritance, who had been denied education and who had seen families and loved ones sold down the river, were now told that they were equal citizens with everyone else. But the economic reality of life in America was little changed for the freed men and women. And the indignities and injustices of life on the bottom rung of the ladder have survived long past emancipation. I was one of those southern whites active in the civil rights movement of the 1960’s. I had teeth knocked out and I had ammonia thrown in my eyes. I was threatened and I was jailed and I got in a gunfight with some Ku Klux Klansmen. But I say equality of law became a fact for black Southerners. Unfortunately, the X Ben Jones [ «» rs t attempted “Reconstruction” of Southerners is never ending. An endless slew of transplanted Yankees, touchy feely Southern liberals, scowling talking heads on cable television, and brain dead politicians have kept up the drum beat. They are going to fix us if it is the last thing they do. And they just don't understand why we don’t accept their enlightened viewpoint. These days this “reconstruction” takes the form of a non-stop political media attack on the St. Andrews Cross Flag, the old rebel battle flag, which is an absolute thing of beauty. My friend Debra Settle wrote to the Rappahannock News Aug. 1 wondering why some of us fly this flag and asking “is there a less offensive way to symbolize your heritage?” Well, Debra, is there a less offensive way for you to express your prejudices than by your presumptuous letter. symbols mean ditterent things to different people, Debra. There are those of us in the South who are deeply conscious of our region s history, and are deeply passionate about our heritage. For me, it is a patriotism that is surpassed only by my delight in being an American citizen, of having been given the blessing of participation in history's greatest experiment in government. That bumper sticker that says “American by Birth, Southern by the Grace of God” sums up my feelings exactly. My people, all of my people, stood for the rebel cause in the 1860’s. They were of their time, and in their time they believed a foreign army was invading their homeland. Not a one of them owned slaves. Most opposed slavery. But they all contributed to the Southern cause. And that Southern army fought with unsurpassed valor against overwhelming odds for four bloody years. When that war ended, and I believe that it ended in the right way for America, there was little left to Dixie. No one, black or white, had anything left. But pride. So, my friend, if you wonder how' some of us can still be moved by their struggle, try to understand. And don't judge us with the prejudice of the politically correct. Don’t assume when you see a rebel flag that it is some divisive display of bigotry. Sure, some idiots desecrate the flag in their racist rituals. They also use Old Glory and the Christian Cross for those purposes. Please remember that there are just a few of them and that there are millions of us. Yes, there are millions of Southerners who are descended from those who sacrificed so much just a few generations ago. And we are a proud lot. We are proud of our way of life, of the natural beauty of our land, our way of talking, our food, our music, and our traditions. For me, the rebel flag symbolized that spirit, and it is an inclusive spirit. So, when some condescending know-it-all prejudges me, and assumes that my attitudes are provincial or somehow bigoted, well, that’s when I fly my rebel flag. You see, for me it symbolizes what I know that they don’t. DOWN IN THE DIRT.

Phil Irwin commented that “we have a pretty good (trash) program in Rappahannock, and he asked Mr. McCarthy if there was a notable decrease in landfill volumes since the Huntly and Scrabble unsecured dumpsters were closed. Mr. McCarthy said that the past year’s volume was down 10 percent and, in addition, he explained that trash volume annual growth had been averaging four percent for the three previous years as well, so that the total reduction for the year since the dumpster sites had been closed is nearly 14 percent. This reduction is attributable to the elimination of non-County trash from the system. RRCSB program Brian Duncan of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board (RRCSB) presented the organization’s program plan for Fiscal Year 2002 and is seeking local government concurrence by September of this year. Mr. Duncan described the range of services provided by the RRCSB to clients in its service region (Rappahannock, Fauquier, Madison, Culpeper, and Orange Counties), the number of clients in each of its program areas, and the organization’s budget and costs allocated to each local jurisdiction. He also provided projections of local government contributions for FY2003. RRCSB service areas include mental health, mental retardation, substance abuse, and aging programs, and the organization projects a local tax request of $4.32 per capita ($30,167 from Rappahannock) for FY2003. The Board will consider Performance Contract approval at it next meeting and, in a related matter, okayed a general letter of support for the construction of a new facility to replace the RRCSB’s Boxwood Treatment Center. Other activities • Richie Burke presented the Board with Fire Levy Bills and he brought the chiefs of each of the companies to answer any questions from the Board. After questions on a printer purchase by the Washington company, cell phone use by Castleton, and reimbursement policies for out-of-county calls by the Amissville company, the Board unanimously approved bill payment. • Mr. McCarthy requested and received Board approval for budget amendments to allow for the appropriation and expenditure of funds for the historic survey. The amendments show a total of $18,000 in donated funds and $2,000 in County funds for the $20,000 survey, though only $11,525 in donations has been received as of Aug. 6. • lhe Board discussed and approved, by a vote of 4 to 1, “An Ordinance Amending Chapter 15, ‘Election Districts,’ of the Rappahannock County Code by Reapportioning the County Election Districts to Reflect the Decennial Census Completed in 2000.” Wakefield District Supervisor Roger Welch was the lone dissenter. • Mr. McCarthy introduced changes to the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Law that require “all erosion and sediment control program plan approving authorities to ensure, as a prerequisite to approval of an erosion and sediment control plan, that the person responsible for carrying out the plan provide the name of an individual holding a certificate of competence issued by this Department (Conservation and Recreation) who will be in charge of and responsible for carrying out the land disturbing activity.” Council From Page A1 • The Council okayed the expenditure of funds for bench refinishing and cush: ions and window treatments at the Town Hall. The Mayor may spend up to the balance of the $10,000 allocated for Town Hall repairs on these tasks. • The Mayor told the Council that the Parsons had signed the reservoir agreement and that the Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF) gave the plan its approval, but he is awaiting VOF’s signing of the agreement. He requested and received Council approval to work with Steve* Critzer “to get going” once that is done. - • The Council will con-, vene another special meet-, ing on Aug. 22 at 7 p.m, tor continue work on the zoning* ordinance. • At the request of Council member Alice* Butler, the Council discussed: • the Mason’s request, “about ! three years agdfc” for;, the.; Town to take |ov>r the' Masonic Lodge J cemetery.* Both Mr. Critzer and'Mr.; Bennett expressed strong reservations about such ft takeover, and • Mayor Willis said that he would talk to Sperryville abouk their experience with the cemetery there, ,and •will1 report back to the Council. ; Board From Page A1 nance activities. He said that the problem with the lagoon at the elementary school appears close to resolution, and that the Health Department agreed in principle with the repair plan. He noted too that the replacement water tanks are in place at the elementary school, but that plumbing, electrical work, and testing still had to be completed. Dr. Gangel reported that the Pledge of Allegiance, according to a new Virginia regulation, must be recited each day in all schools. He also informed the Board that driver’s education will be moved back to tenth grade from the ninth grade due to changes in state teenage driving laws. Health insurance changes The School Board took two steps to resolve the health insurance problem created when Trigon’s rate increase exceeded their own estimates by more than ten percent and would have caused a budget shortfall of $108,000. Dr. Gangel told the Board that Trigon offered itfc lower cost Keycare 200 plan' when he told them that he; had to seek bids from other carriers. This plan, he said, would fall within the health insurance budget, but would result in a larger deductible and increased employee contributions. He recommended that the Board approvei the’ Keycare 200 plan, and also attempt to preserve teacher' salary increase benefits by underwriting the cost of increased employee contribur tions. That increase would amount to $21 per month for a single subscriber, $50 per month for a single subscriber and spouse, and $100 per month for a family plan subscriber. The total annual increase in employee contributions would amount to $50,000 which Dr. Ga-ngeJ said could be covered by. the school system with funds anticipated in the October appropriation. >• >• The School Board approved Dr. Gangel’s recommendations, but these will not affect the increased cost of insurance to employees that is due to deducible changes. The deductible fifr single subscribers wilj increase $500 to $1500 annually, and for family plan subscribers it will increase $1000 to $3000 annually. Stuff 20'offH BOYS'8-20 FASHION BOTTOMS.

A year-round resident I Backyard ^Happenings Jim Bywaters Readers familiar with the Tufted Titmouse know this almost tame, crested little songbird is common all year in our county. Its distinctive whistled song can often be heard in many backyards. A clear whistled chant sounding similar to “peter, peter, peter”, or “here, here, here, here”. It even makes a chickadee-like call, a “tseep” that keeps the flock together. It’s “jay, jay, jay” call is harsh, alerting others to a disturbance, notes similar to those of chickadees, but more drawling, nasal, wheezy, and complaining. Although it wears a crest like a cardinal it is more closely related to the chickadee. I find one trait in particular chickadees share with titmice to be fun to watch as they come to your bird feeder, both birds often carry away sunflower seeds one at a time to a nearby perch to eat. I have only seen them eat a seed at the feeder a few times and then only when perched atop the feeder. This little bird gets its name from its mouse color. It is a small, gray bird that is five to six inches long with a tufted crest, pale chest with rusty sides and a light spot between the eye and bill. They flock together in the winter with several other small birds such as chickadees, nuthatches and small woodpeckers. They often feed by clinging to the bark of trees and eating insects off the bottom of leaves. Titmice entertain us as they forage for food. They hop actively among branches and twigs of trees, often hanging upside down and sometimes even hovering momentarily. Titmice often drop to the ground for food as well. They open acorns and seeds by holding them with their feet and pounding them with their bill. These little birds have been known to store food items and retrieve them later. In the spring and summer pest insects, their eggs and larvae, and caterpillars represent more than half the of titmouse’s diet. They are a natural pest control source in residential yards. Titmice eat ants, moth eggs, wasps, bees, beetles, spiders and snails also. Seeds, nuts, and berries are important in their diet in winter but they will still visit your feeder regularly if it is filled with sunflower seeds. When it nears nesting time, Titmice will use a natural tree cavity, often an old woodpecker hole. A nest box at a height between three and 15 feet above the ground may be appeal ing as well. Into this opening they put a base of moss and dead leaves and make a cup of hair or fibers, including fur, wool or cotton. Titmice have been known to pluck hair from woodchucks, dogs and several other animals, even from humans. John Trott once reported on the subject of titmice plucking human hair for nesting purposes and I agree with his comments. His thoughts on the subject were vintage John Trott. He arrived with food for her. Later, both parents feed the young. Interestingly, a breed wrote, I am not sure I would have the discipline — the self-control — to remain still while a titmouse pulled or snipped hairs from my head. I would welcome the challenge to test myself, ing pair may have; a; “helper” at this time,^ one of their offspring’ from the previous! year.

The female will incubate five or six eggs for 12 to 14 days. All the eggs will hatch over a period of one to two days. The female removes the eggshells during this time. Both the male and female will tend the young, which will fledge at 15 to 18 days. The female stays with the young birds most of the time at first, while her mate brings food.

Cub Scouts’ summer of fun By Libet Pierson * Rappahannock News Writer Summer is a great time for scouting activities, especially for outdoor fun! In June the cub scouts of Pack 123 took part in a special Rodeo and Cowboy Cookout at Lee’s Orchard. Events included hobby horse races, horseshoe pitching and a bull ring toss. A fourth event, panning K -for "gold” and gem stones, tested the ' patience and sharp eyes ofV'the ;’w SCOUtS. ' \ Most were quick to pick out the amethysts, fire agates, moonstones, obsidian and other gems as well as “gold” pyrite from the sand and gravel in their sieves. As the evening light spread across the pasture,hungry scouts and their families gathered around the chuck wagon for cowboy beans, burgers, hot dogs and combread. A campfire for a few quiet moments of roasting marshmallows and learning about upcoming events finished off a beautiful summer day. July found Pack 123 scouts and leaders at the Flying Circus Air show in Bealeton. Against a background of brilliant blue the boys and their families watched antique planes perform barrel rolls, loops, figure eight's and many other Acrobatic stunts. A simulated dogfight, skydivers and a wingwalker added to the excitement. To top things off, all spectators were invited to get up close to examine the planes and talk to the pilots after the show. Souvenir posters autographed by the pilots will serve the scouts as great reminders of an exciting day. Coming up next is Cub Scout Pack 123’s third summer Pack Meeting on Saturday, Aug. 25. All cub scouts and their families are invited to attend a Water Carnival at the Washington Fire Hall at 3 p.m. The Pack would also like to extend an invitation to all boys in grades one through five who would like to join'in the fun. Wear a swim suit or shorts and water shoes or sneakers. Bring a towel to dry off with, you will get wet. There will be water games of all sorts, prizes and refreshments.

In this fast pace we all live in today we often do not take the time to enjoy the beauty of the landscape that we see and enjoy as we drive through our beautiful county- tyThere are so many different wild flowers from May until frost. A wild flower book is needed to identify many of them. As I was growing up the flowers were a great source of entertainment. I would always pick the delicate flowers and bring them to my mother. She would proudly display them on the table or in the window. Our vases were anything from a pretty bottle to a common ordinary glass or a pretty jar. Spring always brought the pretty violets. With these we would hook their heads together and pull to see who lost their violet first. There were many violets and this game went on for quite awhile. We played outside almost all day because there was no television or air conditioning, and we found many ways to pass the time. When the buttercups were blooming, we would pick the flowers and hold them close under each others chin. If the chin reflected the yellow in the buttercup, it meant you liked butter. It didn’t matter that it always showed we like butter, it gave us something to do. The daisies would determine if our current friend “loved me” or “loved me not” by pulling off the pedals. The last pedal was the final say. When we would take walks, there were many different flowers. The one I really enjoyed was the jewel weed. This one produced a Sperryville By SALLY KEYSER 987-8471 yellowish-orange blossom that can be worn as an earring. If you were careful they would hang on for a long time. It appeared as though you had pieced ears. Whenever I see them, I remember the days I enjoyed wearing them. For a real dress up treat, there were the geranium petals. These would stick to your finger nails, and you had artificial nails long before they were available. You would moisten your nail and the petal, then you would press them on your nails with the pointed end up. This was a real addition to our dress up clothes, and some high heel shoes we would get from friends. We were whatever we pretended to be. The wash weed was another flower we enjoyed. If you picked a blossom and rubbed it in your hands with water, it made a great lather like soap. We would pretend we were washing dishes or doll clothes. While dandelions didn’t provide much of a play item for summer, certainly they were fun when the blossom would turn to seeds. We would see how many seeds we cold blow from the stem with one blow. The stem could be split five or six times, being careful not to go above the seed bed. This created long curls and were added to our dolls for hair. Corn husk from the corn patch were also used as doll babies, as well as holly hocks. The fields are beautiful now with Queen Anns’ Lace. This is wild carrot, and provides a beautiful lacy flower for a table arrangement. They are like snowflakes when pressed. Rappahannock is so rich with the beauty and bounty of nature. Remember to take time and enjoy the simpler things of life. 3(e afc 5jc Visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Keyser over the weekend were Ms. Debbie Keyser and Joshua, Mr. and Mrs. Danny Keyser, Katie and David of Winchester.

Whortons celebrate 50th anniversary • On June 23, Frank Baylus Whorton, age 76, and Lois Carolyn Utz Whorton, 69, were honored at a luncheon rfeception given by their children and families in celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary. They were married by the Rev. Sliger in his home at Flint Hill on June 23, 1951. „■ Mr. Whorton is a native of Rappahannock County and served in the Navy during World War II aboard the destroyer, USS McDermut ^577). He worked as a carpenter and is a member of the Washington DC Carpenter’s Union Local 1590 where he retired in 1988 after 39 active years. Mrs. Whorton is also a native of Rappahannock jCounty and graduated from Washington High School in ,1950. Known far and wide as a fabulous country cook, Mrs. Thorton has worked in the home as a homemaker raising their four children, as well as babysitting full time for their .grandchildren and numerous other children in the area, t The reception in their honor was held at Manassas Assembly of God and festivilies included a surprise limo jide to the reception for Mr. ^nd Mrs. Whorton by a nephew, a video and musical presentation of old family ’ photos, a much loved song, “I Couldn’t Have Made This Journey Without You” sung by son-in-law and niece, and Ibach of the grandchildren Reading their handwritten Expressions of love and appre; Ipiation to “Nannie and PaPa”. • Ijl The reception was attended by approximately 160 fam ily and friends, including their four children, Linda (49), Jackie (48), Frank Baylus II (47) and Vickie (42), their spouses, six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. At the cake cutting, Mr. and Mrs. Whorton gave testimonials of their love for each other over their 50 years of marriage. They both agreed that the one incident that changed the course of their marriage and made it the success it is today, was a night in January of 1954 when they both gave their hearts and lives to Jesus Christ and became dedicated Christians. Founding members of The Centreville Assembly of God Church on Lee Highway, they are still active participants today. For years, one of their regular activities has been visiting and holding services for the residents at Birmingham Green Retirement Home in Manassas, where they will sing accompanied by Mrs. Whorton on her accordion. In 1950 Mr. Whorton built the home where he and his wife continue to live today. Even though they live in one of the fastest growing areas of Fairfax County, they still enjoy the many benefits of nature — deer, fox, squirrel, rabbits, possum and birds — on their two acres. While their health has prevented them from tending huge gardens like they’ve done in the past, they continue to enjoy life and each other among their blackberry and black raspberry vines along with various kinds of fruit trees.

Have a great week! August gardening tips By Kenner P. Love Extension Agent, ANR Crop and Soil Sciences ! The following are August gardening tips from the Rappahannock Extension Office. • In most cases, choose early maturing vegetables for the fall garden. They can be planted after the early summer vegetables have been harvested and still be ready to pick before freezing weather. • Stop vine crops from taking over your garden and lawn by pinching off the fuzzy growing tips. This also directs the filant’s energy into ripening ruit rather than producing more vine. , • Before storing root crops like carrots and beets, cut off the green tops. The leaves transpire pulling moisture out of the roots, thus drying them out. • Watering properly is the key to conserving water in the heat of summer. One inch per week applied at one time will wet the soil six to eight inches deep and insure good yield from your mature crops. Two inches of organic mulch will cool the soil and reduce surface evaporation of water. • Plant a winter cover crop to enrich your garden soil. Annual rye, red clover, and hairy vetch are good choices. A cover crop decreases erosion of the soil during the winter, adds organic material when it is incorporated in the spring, improves soil tilth and porosity, and adds valuable nutrients. Winter cover crops can be planted as early as Aug. 1 but should not be planted any Jater than Nov. 1. j • Snap bean, tomato, and pepper flowers may fail to develop fruit when daytime temperatures rise above 90 degrees. • Water the garden early in the day so the foliage dries before night. Wet foliage at night increases susceptibility .Obituaries from Page B5 of Fredericksburg, Martha Skinker of Marshall, Susan Shipp Goodwin of Amissville; one brother, W.W.

This bacterium is best controlled by pruning. When making cuts, prune at least eight inches below the dead part of the twig and dip shears in a ten percent bleach solution between cuts to prevent transmitting the disease to healthy wood. Also, avoid excessive fertilizing with nitrogen in the spring as succulent new wood is more susceptible to fire blight bacteria. • To reduce the number of pests on your fruit tree for the coming year, pick up and destroy all fallen fruit. Worms hide in the fallen fruit, then pupate in the soil. They will be ready to lay eggs the next year. • If azaleas look chlorotic (pale-green to yellow) check soil pH. They need acid soil because alkalinity locks up iron needed for green color. Sulfur reduces soil pH. • Water shrubs deeply once a week during August. Many plants, including camellias and rhododendrons, are starting buds for next season’s bloom at this time. Immature berries of hollies and pyracantha may drop if the plants are water stressed.
