It’s a time to meet old friends and new, to give up that summer freedom, to get back to academics and athletics, for the parents to take a bit of a breather and renew that school year routine, and it’s a time for the students and the whole community to meet this year’s crop of new teachers. Some of the meeting and greeting will be possible at book day on Thursday, Aug. 23, from 2 to 5 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m. at both the elementary and high schools. If that does not bring you into contact with everyone you want to see, then the first day of school will do it. School starts this year on Monday, Aug. 27 but will end early that day with release at 1:40. New teachers at RCES this year include first grade teacher Linda Dunn, fresh from the University of Oklahoma, seventeen year Englishteaching veteran Caesar Roy, and social studies teacher Jimmy Swindler, who undoubtedly wins the coveted “Longest-Term Rappahannock Resident New Teacher at RCES Award.” Middle school ranks are complete with new science teacher Gail R.

Ariele Foster graduates from Hampshire College Ariele Harris Foster, daughter of Camille Harris and Patrick Foster, graduated from Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass, on May 19, 2001, with a Bachelor of Arts and a concentration in environmental studies. Miss Foster lived in Rappahannock County with her parents and her sister, Elise Harris Foster, until 1990, when her family moved to Richmond. She is the granddaughter of Randolph and Lilo Foster of Flint Hill. Miss Foster spent a semester abroad in Costa Rica studying sustainable developPlanners From Page A1 One of the basic issues outstanding is the timing of , enacting a sludge ordinance. Planning Commission Chairman Werner Krebser reported that John McCarthy . suggested waiting for the outcome of two lawsuits brought against local jurisdictions by sludge haulers but, on the other hand, opinion was voiced to get something on the books to protect the County and its citizens. Supervisors representative to the Commission, Ron Frazier, said that it is his personal opinion that a sludge ordinance should be on the books by September. Commissioner Tom Junk said that he thinks that “we can wait a little bit . . . that we should have a draft ordinance in September or October.” Commissioner Butch Zindel said that he had mixed emotions—on one hand he said that “it’s wise to wait and , - see how the lawsuits come ' out,” but on the other hand he said that the County “should ! enact that portion that pro’ tects the health of the resi ment and ecology and wrote a senior thesis entitled “The Global Impact of Eating Locally.” She was the two-time recipient of a National Science Foundation teaching scholarship. She was also a Greenpeace delegate to The Hague for the UN Climate Change Conference in November, 2000. Since graduation Miss Foster has been working as a summer intern in Amherst for Cities for Climate Protection. In the fall she will be assuming a position with the Alliance to Save Energy in Washington, D.C. dents.” Commissioner A1 Henry noted that there is a sixty day window from the time that someone applies (to the State) for a permit for land application of sludge, and that window would offer the time for enactment of the ordinance. He also reported that he was told, in conversations with a sludge hauler, that Rappahannock County is of minimal interest to them because of the lack of “spreadable” acres. He said that the hauler estimated that there was no more than 2,000 acres in the County that may be of value for sludge application. Lighting Ordinance revisions At their August meeting, the Planning Commissioners also discussed the draft lighting ordinance and proposed revisions to that draft. Commissioner Tom Tepper reported that Lighting Ordinance Committee consultant, Mark Schuyler, had reviewed the draft and had sent comments, one of which was that it would be impossible to enforce the provision that restricts “spillover light” to one-half foot-candle at the Ariele Harris Foster property line (G{6)c.). Mr. Zindel, referring to the “Exemptions” section of the draft, said that he thought that farms should not be exempt from the ordinance. Mr. Henry said that he disagreed, and added that he was “troubled like wildfire” by Jim Gannon’s suggestion last month that the Commission investigate “making the importing of sludge a disqualification for tax benefits (land use taxation).” Though that comment was related to a different draft ordinance, Mr. Henry noted that “agriculture is a tradition here—open space comes with cattle and grazing . . . they (the farmers) have enough burden. We shouldn’t put anything on agriculture . . .” Both Mr. Krebser and Mr. Tepper voiced their agreement with Mr. Henry. The Commission then moved to advertise a public hearing on the lighting ordinance for their September meeting. « ★ * CAFE 11763 Lee Hwy./ Sperryvillc, Vfl GRAND REOPENING *********************** Thursday, Aug. 23rd OPEN MIC *********************** Friday, Aug. 24th Joe Bowling *********************** Saturday, Aug. 25th Bobby Glasker and | The Blues Hawkes I 540-987-3162 * www.bluemooncafe.ee JENKINS ORCHARDS Quality Fruit Jams & Honey Hours: 9 a.m. to 6 p.nt Bring your own containers Directions; From Culpeper on Rt. 522, left at Yancey Road, approximately 2 miles From Spotryville, Rt. 522, right at Yancey Road. 2 mites.

School administrators, teachers and other personnel are excited about the beginning of a new year, never mind the children and especially those entering kindergarten. , We take this time to encourage county residents to be careful come Monday morning as the buses begin to roll for another year. It goes without saying that the roads in our county will begin carrying our most precious cargo: our children. We encourage drivers to slow down and allow extra time for your drive to work. Reduce speeds in school zones and allow buses the room they need to operate safely. We have all been delayed by a slow-moving bus at one time or another, but let’s practice patience. The consequences of rushing to beat a bus certainly can hardly compare with being a few moments late for an appointment. The best way to keep your cool is to allow some extra time in the morning — especially in the school zones. That way you won’t have to get upset about that slow moving bus or other vehicle in front of you. A leisurely drive to work could become a great way to begin each day. ! We wish all the school children, teachers and administrators a great school year!

I know I am late in jumping into the discussion, however, I felt I needed to add some information to the discussion. As a veterinarian I see the effects on the animals after sludge has been applied to fields as a fertilizer. I have been called in to solve health problems on farms that have been treated with sludge. Animals that are grazed on fields after sludge has been applied show poorer hair coats over the next few years as well as lower fertility and less healthy immune systems. On certain farms there are serious problems, especially with reproduction and the young animals whose systems are more susceptible to the effects of the heavy metals that are present in sludge. On other farms the problems are less obvious, however, I notice that generally the animals have dull coats. No amount of supplementation, deworming and good feeding programs can give the animals a healthy shine and rich color that indicates that the animal is healthy on the inside. Many of the animals appear to “bleach out” in the sun, a trait many people consider normal in the summer time. However, I see animals that live out side in blazing sun having a deep rich color to their coat when they are < truly healthy. Anyone with livestock who is considering applying sludge to their fields, should give careful consideration to the • health of their animals, especially the lowered fertility. [ Livestock with good reproductive health is a keystone to making money in farming. ; Joyce Harman DVM MRCVS Flint Hill Lets continue to preserve Rappahannock I would like to thank all those who have donated to the Rappahannock County Historic Survey through the Piedmont Environmental Council’s log cabin. The cabin made its debut on the Fourth of July at the RLEP tent and has continued^ its work at the Rappahannock Library, The Corner Store in Sperryville, Settle’s Grocery in Flint Hill, and R.H. Ballard Fine Art, Ltd. in Sperryville. During the week of Aug. 20 it will be at Rae’s Place Deli in Sperryville. I would also like to thank these businesses for their support. The log cabin will continue to show up throughout the county to encourage donations toward this effort to survey our county’s history. Knowing the way things were is a key element to preserving what we know and love of Rappahannock County today. It is why so many of us have chosen it as our home. Share your stories with oth- ■ ers and help keep Rappahannock’s history alive and well. Barbara Sherwood On behalf of Piedmont Environmental Council, Rappahannock County A point of pride J Ji Rappahannock!!! Quick Quiz: How many stoplights do we have in Rappahannock? Answer: None Harder Question: How many other counties have no stoplights in Virginia? Answer: None This according to Phil Irwin, owner of Caledonia Farm B&B off the Fodderstack, co-founder and past president of the Piedmont Environmental Council, and a man who gets his facts straight. He likes no stoplight. I like no stoplight. How about you? Rob Sherwood Washington Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO Aug. 24, 1961 Miss Virginia Stringfellow, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ned Stringfellow, Amissville was crowned queen of the Amissville festival Friday night by Miss Nancy Settle, outgoing queen. She was presented a bouquet of red roses and $25 cash. The Rappahannock Garden Club held its regular August meeting Wednesday, Aug. 16 at the home of Mrs. E.M. Jones in Washington. Mrs. Jones gave a talk on “Nursery Pitfalls.” Mrs. D. Buchanan Merryman celebrated her 98th birthday on Saturday at Wakefield Manor, Huntly, the home of her cousin, Mrs. Newbold Noyes. Mrs. Merryman is the favorite aunt of the Duchess of Windsor and is remembered as the “Aunt Bessie”, who chaperoned her niece in London during the abdication crises and accompanied the couple abroad afterward. 20 YEARS AGO Aug. 20, 1981 After a long executive session Monday morning, the Rappahannock School Board announced the appointment of Margarita Piper as elementary principal to replace Graham Spencer who resigned earlier this month. Mrs. Piper served as assistant principal of the elementary school for the 1980-81 year. Big yellow school buses will roll again next Thursday, carrying loads of Rappahannock youngsters to the start of classes for the 198182 school year. While the buses have set idle all summer, transportation superintendent Allie Huff has been anything but. During his summer “vacation,” Huff has gone over his 21 bus fleet with a fine tooth comb to ensure that when the engines turn over Thursday morning, theyll turn over in vehicles that are as safe as he can possibly make them. The 25th annual Rappahannock County Invitational Labor Day Mixed Double Handicap Whistlecup Tennis Tournament will be staged this year on five local courts, according to Mrs. Marta Tholand, permanent chairman of the event. Preliminary round-robin matches will be played Sept. 6 on the courts of Dr. and Mrs. Werner Krebser, Mr. and Mrs. Fanning Baumgardner, Mr. and Mrs. Ike Parrish, Judge and Mrs. Rayner Snead and Mr. and Mrs. James J. Kilpatrick. Children are getting ready for school and a familiar face can do a lot to help new kindergarteners adjust to being away from home. In a photo, Rodney Grimsley helps his brother, Jason, try on his new school shoes. Jason, 5, will start school next week. Rodney is a seventh-grader at RCHS. Both boys are the sons of Cherry and Russell Grimsley of Huntly. 10 YEARS AGO Aug. 22, 1991 The Rappahannock High varsity soccer team, under new coach Uli Maeyer, began practice last week, along with other fall sports. A is for Angus and in a photo Ray T. Cannon's registered Angus cattle herd “mysteriously5, assembled themselves in the letter “A” in Castleton. Mr. Cannon has 40 years in Angus breeding. Work on the four-laning of US 211 should begin in October, resident engineer Robert Moore recently. Mr. Moore said the Virginia Department of Transportation has a “project showing^ for potential bidders scheduled for Aug. 29 and that the highway department expects to receive bids in September. Wakefield Country Day Headmaster Pamela Lynn addressed a meeting Thursday on plans to open a new institution at Huntly. The meeting to publicize plans for Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly left organizers “very encouraged.” COMPILED BY BARBARA C.

Barbara Sherwood exhibits paintings at R.H. Ballard Gallery . By Donna LaPre Color to me is as important as fqod, or fresh air. It is an integral component to the pleasure I find in the natural world. So when I see the work of an artist who] has a love for color and the skilly to visually speak color’s language, I am truly amazed. Barbara Heile Sherwood is a local artist whose increasing fluepcy with the language of irolo^ creates an amazing experience for any viewer. She paints rich, juicy still life, landscape and figures in landscape, on location or from memory. Whether in oil, gouache or watercolor, they all share the commonality of an artist’s visipn and desire to express color and light as inseparable from the paint the art is made from. If you walk into the Ballard Gallery, where Barbara’s first solo show is hanging, you will feel drenched in color. It’s a similar! sensation to walking through my summer garden, whore I can feel color and light being absorbed through the cells of my skin. Late Afternoon Sun on Backhill, a 24”x24” oil on canvas, is a violet-purple mountain formed of paint which rises above trees appearing to wave in the wind. A thick tangle of sap green, chartreuse, orange and burgundy paint holding the foreground is convincing as Review grasses, wildflowers and rocks. The gouache titled Black Mission Figs is a still and quiet painting. The artist takes the perspective of looking down from above, a favorite perspective which appears repeatedly in her work. It is a perspective often taken by Bonnard, a French painter much admired by Barbara. Matisse is another source of inspiration, and a flavor of Matisse appears in the fig painting. A simple composition, purpley-black figs in a bowl, like birds in a nest rest on a piece of antique, cutwork linen. The figs and bowl are central, a dark focal point on the pale pink linen, painted with delicate scrolling marks to indicate the hand worked pattern of the cloth. A cadmium orange background or table-top supports the bowl and cloth visually, its odd color choice giving this piece a strange tension and harmony. It is easy to understand that Bonnard and Matisse have to some degree, stimulated Barbara Sherwood’s vision: there is a shared eye for light in color, patterns in objects and in THE TRAIL.

Young Girl in the Afternoon and Boys Under the Wisteria are good examples which explore this interest. In the former, a young girl leans over a book, handling a small bird, utterly absorbed in her contemplations. The patterns of shadow across chairs, curtain, table and the rhythm of bird cage bars and lines of text in the open book form an almost musical visual composition. A still point in a summer afternoon is the music’s theme, formed by notes and scales of naples yellow, lavender, pinks, orange and the odd green curtain as the observer looks down into this child’s world. The scene in Boys Under the Wisteria, another large oil on canvas is also an observation or memory of children occupying themselves on a summer afternoon.

Scrolling shadows fall across the table in blue, as if they are a fragment of damask pattern in the cloth itself. One boy is reading in the foreground, his rear forearm meshing with the tablecloth's surface. The boy in the background is reaching into a bowl of fruit: hand and bowl are merged as one form. Many other paintings in this show really commanded* my attention: a trio of bams, for instance. These are mysterious, almost haunting barn-scapes, painted simply and rather crisply. How many paintings of bams have I seen? More than I’ve cared to, but few such as these which are compellingly beautiful enough to look at again and again. A tiny oil. Fall Jam, 71/2”x5” depicts two jars with purple contents. A beautifully articulated swath of light falls between the jars, casting blue shadows. Pink Fields is another arresting landscape showing us a rolling meadow of pink paintswards and clumps of purple, yellow, and green vegetation. Wispy painted trees stand on the hill’s crest. The whole scene conveys a fleeting and frail moment of one season’s change to another. Barbara Sherwood’s work has the ingredients which make masterful art: strange tension of form, color and placement of objects in space, overall harmony and an ability to put down enough descriptive paint in some places, yet stop at just the nght point to engage the viewer's imaginative, creative and emotional response. This show is a wonderful, inspiring pre*sentation by someone who loves to paint.

At that time, the historical society building was a dependency of Thorn’s Tavern. In 1931, Clyde Baggarljt, a grandson of the first builder and a lawyer in Washington, DC., moved the house to its present site, added the Classical pillars and renamed it Avon Hall. Invitations to the Sept. 30 fundraiser will be mailed at the end of this month. Persons interested in attending also may call the historical society, 675-1163. Tickets are $75 per person and space is limited. Many Rappahannock residents and their guests have fond memories of Avon Hall, the site for many years of the Town of Washington’s annual Fourth of July celebration hosted by the late Mr. Carrigan. The garden party celebration at Avon Hall is made possible through the “generosity” of the nephews of the late Mr. Carrigan, Mark Eggert and Jim Carrigan, said Raymond Gooch, president of the historical society. “We wish to express how thankful we are,” he said. The last time Avon Hallwas open to the public was in 1961 when Trinity Episcopal Church held its annual house tour and dried flower sale. - What are you doing to improve your health?

Birdfeeders and bacteria I Backyard /Happenings Jim Bywaters Many of our most beloved birds will begin visiting our bird feeders regularly as fall approaches. Northern cardinals, Black-capped chickadees, White-breasted nuthatches and Blue jays are just some birds that are attracted by a feeder filled with nutritious seeds. It is our responsibility to provide them with the healthiest environment possible, which means clean bird feeders. Many types of bacteria can infest birdseed feeders, especially if the seed has become wet. I would recommend cleaning your birdfeeder once a month or as often as practical for you. Neglected feeders can cause our backyard birds to suffer from outbreaks of avian illness. Most of these diseases can be passed from one songbird to another in areas where birds gather. The most common is salmonellosis. Salmonellosis is a general disease that can occur in both birds and animals, including humans, and is caused by salmonella bacteria. A bird will become ill after eating food contaminated by other sick bird’s droppings. It is a fatal disease that will continue to kill birds unless the feeder is removed, the affected seed disposed of and the feeder thoroughly cleaned. Several diseases develop lesions in the bird’s mouths, throats, or on the featherless surfaces of their face, legs and feet. But rather than dying from the disease outright, the birds often die from starvation. Birds affected cannot get food, or swallow what they do manage to find. It is spread several ways, infected mosquitoes can pass it on after taking a blood meal from the bird or spread by direct contact with the effected site, usually at a bird feeder. Other diseases affecting songbirds are transmitted by contact, airborne droplets or dust, and cause an infection of the bird’s eye membranes. It has quickly spread across the country and the disease seems to effect house finches and American goldfinches mostly but can affect other birds as well. If the sick bird does not die from the disease it runs a higher risk of being killed by a predator due to the effect the disease has on the bird’s eyesight, making it vulnerable. Here are a few simple things you can do to help prevent diseases at your feeders. First and foremost, keep your feeders clean by simply monitoring the feeders and taking them in for washing when they look dirty. It is very important to keep bird feeders clean. A clean feeder makes it easy for birds to see the feed. Also, a clean feeder reduces the chance that birds could pick up diseases from fungi, which can collect in the cracks and comers of some feeders. When feeders do need cleaning, remove all leftover seed and other debris from your feeder. Using plain water and a stiff brush to remove the stubborn seeds lodged in the comers of your feeder makes cleaning much easier. After you have removed as much as you can with the brush it is time to fill a large pan or tub with a mixture of one part bleach to nine parts warm water. Put the feeder into the pan and let it soak in the bleach solution for a few minutes. Once you have finished this step remove the feeder from the water and let it completely dry before refilling with fresh seed. It is recommended that you wear rubber gloves while cleaning your feeders. You can also reduce the spread of diseases at your feeders by preventing the birds from being over-crowded. This can be accomplished by placing your feeders in pairs about 10 feet apart. Use just enough bird feed to last your birds for a couple of days. Discard any bird food that smells funny, is wet, looks moldy or has anything growing on it. Keep any animals like squirrels and mice out of your bird feed, both in the feeders and during storage. Their droppings can cause some diseases. Remember, just because you do not see birds dying in your yard that does not mean you do not have a problem. Many of these diseases take days to kill birds. They may be hundreds of miles away before becoming diseased enough to die. If you have witnessed birds with crusty eyes or even a dead bird near your feeder, disinfecting should be done immediately. If this does not solve the problem, stop feeding! Clean up the area underneath your feeder, apply a few inches of mulch to the area and move your feeder to a new place in your yard. Hopefully this will stop further spreading of the disease. Happy Birding! Jim Bywaters, Rappahannock News Nature Writer, writes a weekly column. He welcomes reader mail, responses, suggestions via e-mail at jhbjr@rmaonline.net or mail at P.O. Box 8, Flint Hill, Va. 22627. Hosting Monarch butterflies in your garden By Donna LaPrG Rappahannock News Writer Monarch butterflies are some of the most fascinating visitors to the summer garden. Not only are they striking in color, and a bit exotic, they journey a long way from sites in Mexico and California to spend the summer with us. Each year they make a round trip from these warmer climates to the north, as far as Canada. It can take several generations of monarchs to complete the journey. To my delight, I’ve noticed this year that we are hosting a sizable monarch hatchery. Although my gardens have always been abundant in butterfly nectar-rich flowers, I hadn’t given much thought to plants which monarchs lay their eggs on: milkweeds. There are hundreds of milkweed species in America. Only 28 of those species are plants from which monarchs feed. In this region, we have at least four monarch suitable native milkweeds: butterfly weed (asclepias tuberosa), common milkweed (asclepias syriaca), swamp milkweed (asclepias incarnata), just blooming now and green milkweed (asclepias viridiflora). There may be a fifth, whorled milkweed, but I haven’t seen it yet. Although I have the four milkweeds on my property, I haven’t seen caterpillars (larvae) until this year. For the last few years I’ve been growing a plant called “bloodflower” (asclepias curassavica), which is a tropical milkweed. The flower is annual north of Georgia and perennial in its native climate. It is quite a beautiful plant, growing two to three feet with a New Theatre season The Theatre at Washington, Va. has just announced its schedule for the fall season which runs from September through December. The season begins and ends with Russian music. The first concert, on Saturday, Sept. 8, brings folk music performed by the Washington Balalaika Society music of Beethoven and Haydn. This will be followed by another of the popular “Brilliance of the Baroque” concerts, featuring John Sebastian Bach’s Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord. The final two concerts in the Smithsonian at Little Washington series will take place in the spring. orchestras balalaikas, domras and bayons (Russian accordions), and the final concert in December sees the return of the Yale Russian Chorus, a male a capella group whose repertoire includes liturgical music, soldiers’ marches and popular drinking songs. Three jazz pro Celtic Music will be heard at the Theatre in October when linn Barnes and Allison Hampton return for their annual pro* gram here. Tickets for all of the above programs are $15 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. Reservations are recommended. In addition to programs presented grams are scheduled: jazz guitarists Gene Bertoncini and Frank Vignola; pianist, humorist and scholar John Eaton; and the jazz trio of Bucky Pizzarelli, guitar, Chuck Redd, vibes and drums, and Steve Novosel, bass. The Smithsonian at Little Washington series opens its tenth season at the Theatre this fall with The Cqstle Trio playing by the Theatre itself, there are two additional concerts to be presented by others at the venue, as well as a twice-monthly film series presented by the Rappahannock Association for Arts and Community (RAAC). lb obtain a copy of the complete schedule and for further information, phone 540 675-1253 or sent e-mail to TheatreVA@aol.com. deep blue-green foliage and orange and red florets, somewhat similar to our native but monochromatic orange butterfly weed. This year there are a large number of these plants in my garden in two locations. Previously, I’d sown the seeds directly. Germination was much more successful starting the plants indoors. Nearly two weeks ago, I spotted signs of munching on the bloodflower’s leaves. Looking more carefully, I saw teeny black, green and white striped caterpillars, all with a pair of black filaments at each end-monarchs! Each patch of tropical milkweed has hosted a group of the larvae, with the first group moving on the pupal stage, forming a jade green case with molten gold spots. They should emerge soon as mature butterflies. This takes two weeks. All of this excitement led me to search for some more information on the monarchs and milkweeds on the web. It was quite interesting to find out that monarchs prefer the tropical milkweed when given a choice of varieties. The females lay their eggs only on milkweeds which their offspring will eat as they develop. The bloodflower also contains the highest cardenolides content, which is a toxin metabolized by the monarch and renders it toxic to all but two of its predators. Any of the milkweeds mentioned in this article can be grown in your garden, and all prefer full sun. Common milkweed is fragrant and a favored nectar source for monarchs, but has a spreading tendency, so it needs lots of room. Swamp milkweed is a beautiful rose-pink form, but needs “wet foot” conditions, meaning lots of moisture around its roots. You’ll find it growing in low-lying boggy areas, often where ironweed, joepye, boneset and cardinal flower grow. Butterfly weed, a bright orange midsummer asclepias is easy to grow in drier garden conditions. The green milkweed is less familiar than the others and may look a bit weedy to some eyes, but it also prefers drier conditions. The tropical milkweed is easily adaptable to garden sites and has a bit more showy form and color. Although it is an annual, while the others are perennial, it will easily re-seed once established. Beware, however, that the privilege of hosting monarchs with bloodflower means that some or many of the plants will be devoured by the butterflies in their caterpillar stage, though not until you’ve had some time to enjoy their blooms! It is also important to remember that you’ll need a variety of flowers to attract monarchs to your garden in the first place, as well as milkweeds for their egg-laying. Tithonia, or Mexican sunflower, bright pink and purple zinnias, tall verbena (verbena bonariensis) and butterfly bushes (buddliea) are all cultivated plants which monarchs gather to. These plants are frequented by many types of butterflies as well. The monarch’s over wintering, breeding and feeding habitats are being destroyed and threatened. Legal and illegal logging in the Mexican oyamel forests and increased pesticide/herbicide use in the U.S. corn belt and Canada are major contributing factors which place the monarch at risk. Think about the pleasures of providing a safe spot for these amazing creatures in next year’s garden, not only to enjoy their beauty, but to help them continue many, many more journeys north and south each year, for years to come. Bloodflower (asciepias curassavica) seeds may be purchased from: J.L. Hudson, Seedsman, Star Route 2, Box 337, La Honda, Calif. 94020. There is no phone, as this is a strictly old-fashioned sort of business, so you’ll have to write. In addition to the bloodflower, several other types of milkweeds are offered. Asciepias is pronounced: as-KLGE-pee-as.

If you have the opportunity to visit a family reunion, I encourage you to do so. Folks travel near and far to enjoy the fellowship and good food with their relatives. Much preparation and planning go into any reunion, but to be able to add a new face to the family puzzle is always worth it. Finding your ancestors is what genealogy is all about. In five generations, a child becomes a mixture of 64 families. What makes this so complicated is the ability to connect all these families, and then remember where and how they connect. There is an old saying “you can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your relatives.” Those of us who are into the family genealogy have so many albums with family pictures. There is an album for each family, with names, dates when they were born, died and year they were married, as well as the number of children they had. They are a real source of information and help us to be able to put a name with a face. A marriage license, or a Sperryvllte By SALLY KEYSER 987-8471 death certificate provide added information, as well as cemeteries. There are always relatives who want a picture of this person or a copy of a document. Some are helpful in return and will share their information with you. Family is such an important part of our lives, and help us become who we are. The study of family history has become an enjoyable pass time and good therapy. It’s difficult to find the time, with the busy schedule we all have to make the time to get together for a reunion. It is worth the time because you will know more of your relatives. We held the Bowen reunion last Saturday, and this one was started in 1941 in Luray. Each year you have new faces and names. The oldest person attending was 92 years old, with the youngest at 16. They traveled from West Virginia, Tennessee and Mississippi. This is a poem from a family history. The Family Album O how I wish I'd listened more When Grandma talked of days of yore. When from its shelf the album came She knew each face by rank and name Pictures, pictures by the dozens Aunts and uncles, distant cousins! Long gone souls I’d never know “O why does Grandma run on sof For in my youth it was a bore To hear of those gone on before. And in my youth, they looked the same As if they’d never play a game. Today they don’t look quite so old. Their facial lines seem far less cold Today I find my pictures’ there I uonder who may someday care. How nice ’twould be to know each name. Now that they don't all look the same. When Grandma spoke of days of yore, O how 1 wish I’d listened more! G. H. Judd **** There are many of our neighbors and friends in the hospital and sick. We wish all of them a speedy recovery. Raymond Smoot returned home Sunday after being a patient at the Culpeper Hospital. Ms. Debbie Keyser, Spencer Sullivan and Danny Sullivan of Winchester were Sunday visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Keyser. “Cooter’s Place" is ready for a big weekend with the entire “Hazzard County Sheriffs’ Department" plus others. Be sure to stop and enjoy good entertainment and good food. School starts on Monday, Aug. 27. Be sure to watch out for the buses and children. Make it a good week! Amissville church bell ringing daily Amissville By AMY HITT 937-3401 Well the start of school has come at last! Most of our area children will be starting on Monday Aug. 27. The rest will begin Sept. 4. Please be mindful of the bus routes and do not pass a bus with the lights flashing. For the safety of the children as well as your own, no one needs to get in a wreck or get injured. I know most of you are in a hurry to get to work, but just leave a few minutes earlier and avoid the buses. Parents, please let your child know to watch, if they have to cross the road to catch the bus, for oncoming traffic. Please be safe and watchful this school year! The Amissville Community once again is privileged to hear the beautiful bells playing from the Amissville United Methodist Church. I first heard the bells playing about two weeks ago. They play at noon and 6 p.m. during the week and Saturday. On Sunday they play at the beginning of church service, at the end of service, and at 6 p.m. It was a pleasure to hear them again. The Amissville Ruritan Club is going to hold a Christmas Decorating Contest this year. The group used to have this event every year, but has not done so the past couple of years. But we are going to have one this year. All the details are not yet available, but as soon as they are they will be in this column. If you would be interested in participating please e-mail me at amyrappnews@aol .com. Sympathy is extended to Mrs. Anne McWhirt and her family, in the loss of her husband, Frank. He will be sorely missed; he was one of the best Christmas Tree farmers around. Get well wishes are extended to Joyce Wilson, who has been down with her knee. Also, happy belated birthday to RCES Nurse Linda Torrance. The AACA (Amissville Area Community Association) is holding its second annual Fall Festival on Oct. 13. The organizers are looking for vendors and crafters to participate. If you would like to help or have a space, contact Victoria Miller at 937-4298 or Sharon Komar at 9375225.

Since the afterlife is ultimately a mystery, faith is a necessary ingredient of its existence. The soul is often defined as that which imparts life to any animate thing. It is the inner, non-corporal, essential element i * of an animate entity. It is often connected to “breath” and, indeed, Plato expanded upon Greek philosophy to define •; “wind” (pneuma) as the breath . of the universe. Of course, I r immortality is impossible to *' prove, but it imbues the living • ’ with a sense of hope that springs eternal. Having hope that our passage through this life is meaningful is helped by how we move toward death. Acceptance and awareness can bring peace and meaning, while fear tends to lead to • [ greater fear. Keeping one’s *' perspective amidst this most *' human of experiences is difficult "» indeed. At the Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, we know how difficult death can be and also . ‘ how confusing.
