J Three hundred projects entered in Science Fair BY rATTI WADDELL Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock County Science Fair was held on Jan. 24 and 25. Close to 300 projects from students in grades eight through 12 were exhibited in the Rappahannock County Elementary Multipurpose room. Students spend incredible amounts ot time planning, researching, performing and analyzing their special experiments to arrive at their conclusions and present their findings. The quality of the projects and the participation level increase every year. Both junior and senior division winners were also last year’s winners. Congratulations to two fine young scientists. Jenkins Dove, son of Dr. and Mrs. Scott Dove, won the honors in the junior division with his project entitled “Energizer-Hot versus Cold.” Dove is in the seventh grade and investigated how cold, warm and room temperatures affected the life See SCIENCE, Page A2 Library expects to feel budget woes By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer In the first pronouncement of what is expected to be many as County agencies prepare their budgets for the next fiscal year, Library Director David Shaffer informed the Board of Trustees that Governor Gilmore’s recommended budget would cut state aid nearly thirty percent from what was provided last year. Though that deep a cut is by no means certain, as the new Governor and the state legislature are just beginning to review budget options, some significant cut is likely for Fiscal Year 2003. Fortunately for the Rappahannock County Library, their operating budget is relatively small and state aid cuts, even in the worst case, will shave no more than $9,000 from it. That amount could well be made up through additional support from the Friends of the Library, books sales, or direct cbntributions from library patrons. The greater risk is that state fiscal problems will result in reduced funding for major County functions, such as Rappahannock County Public Schools and the Sheriff’s Office, and that that will reduce the money available for the County’s direct contribution to the library. The County historically provides about half of the library’s funding. Officers return for another term The January meeting of the See LIBRARY, Page A8 Brisk competition at Pinewood Derby Races By Libet Pierson Committee Chairman Cub Scout Pack 123 Over 80 Cub Scouts, family members and friends gathered at the Washington Fire Hall this past Saturday for Pack 123’s 2002 Pinewood Derby Races. Always a colorful event with a multitude of brightly colored race cars designed and created by the scouts, this year’s race was even more colorful than in the past with the unveiling of the newly renovated race track. The 40 foot track was scraped, sanded and painted brilliant red by the Pack 123 “track crew”, Bryant Lee, Robin Lee, Opie Crawford, Doug Bywaters and David Woodard. At 10:30 a.m. the first racers left the starting gate with former Cub Master Joe Peregory serving as guest starter. Cheers, shouts of encouragement and applause accompanied the cars down the track. At the finish line three judges waited to determine whose “bumper” flashed across the finish line first. There were many fast cars and lots of close races, but the judges did an excellent job. Ribbons and awards were presented after each den advanced to the Pack Championship Race scheduled for 1:30 p.m. The field of 15 cars contending for the Pack title made a rainbow of colors in the pit area. As the Cub Scout “drivers” were called up to get ready for the final races the excitement mounted. It became clear in the first heat of the Championship races that the judges had their work cut out for them. All the cars were fast and many of the races were very close. The scouts took their wins and losses in stride, with congratulations and encouragement the order of the day. Two cars frame each of the three preliminary heats — moved on to the final heat. The “owner/drivers” for this field of six speedy cars were Sean Michael Knick, Tyler Shoemaker, Jonathan Letsen, Case Kramer, Chris Lee and K.T. Milam Jr. After three hours of racing it was time to find out which car was the fastest in the Pack. In this last set of races the cars were so evenly matched it was necessary to rerun a few races when the judges shook their heads and proclaimed the race “too close to call”. This only increased the suspense. The racesjcontinu^d with fr/\st one, then another car eliminated. Soon only the top three cars were left and the final match ups determined their rankings. The winner of the third place trophy with his blue and gold racer was K.T. Milam Jr. The second place trophy was awarded to Sean Michael Knick who “drove” a sleek white car. The number one car in the Pack was owned and driven by Tiger Cub Case Kramer who was awarded the first place trophy. Kramer’s car won every race, finishing the day with a perfect record. Congratulations to all the scouts, parents and leaders who participated and made the 2002 Pinewood Derby a success. The 15 cars which advanced to the Championship races are also eligible to race in the Shenrapawa District Cub Scout Pinewood Derby Races on March 9. This is a great chance to represent Pack 123 and Rappahannock County and to get an opportunity to race your cars again. Time and place of this race will be announced by den leaders when available.

Panther Pause — RCPS News in Brief By Jan Make la Volunteer Coordinator Public School System • What talented students we have! Over the Lee/Jackson/ King holiday weekend. Band Director Lynne Fournier accompanied eleven RCPS students to Virginia Tech for Honors Band. We had one of the highest percentages of students attend of any of the participating school districts, thanks to the incredible efforts of Mrs. Fournier. She campaigns fiercely to get performance opportunities like this for Rappahannock's children. • This year 500 students were selected 'from 1500 applicants' from Tennessee, West Virginia. Kentucky and Virginia to participate in five different bands. Each hand performed at a different advanced level. We had students in four of the five bands' In each band approximately 100 students came together, never having played together and never having met the conductor. Each student was given three new pieces of music to learn. After auditions and seven hours of practice <!>, the live bands came together for a concert in Burruss Hall, a beautiful 5000 seat concert hall at the university. This was a concert that these students will never forget! • The next time you are asked to buy fruit from a Band member, please do. The funds from fruit sales and other fundraisers like that, make these kinds of experiences possible, as well as providing monies for new uniforms, new instruments, music and more. If you are a parent of a band student, and have not been involved in the program, please come to the next Band Booster meeting on Thursday, Feb. 7. Meetings are every first Thursday at 7 p.m. in the RCHS Band room. You can make a difference, just by your presence. • The Sixth-Twelfth Grades’ Science Fair was a huge success as always thanks to the efforts of our hardworking and talented RCPS Science teachers. The projects were better than ever! The next time you see Mrs. Holly Massie, Science Fair chair, or Mrs. Karen Sanborn, Mrs. Beth Gall, Mrs. Gail O’Neal, Mr. Bill Hunt or Mrs. Patti Waddell, please stop and thank them for what they do for our children. Tbp winners of the 2002 RCPS i Science Fair are: M Sean Robertson. Q Senior Division, ^ and Jenkins Dove, Junior Division. The following students' projects were selected for recognition and honorable mention: i Eston Davis, Holly £ Long, and Elaine Smith from R C H S ; i Laura | Wheatley. ^ J o e | R e c h i n , Jesse Palmer, Clay Vickers, James Henze, Baillee Batchelor, Michael Bailey, Dos Allen, Lisa Maloney, Patrick Treanor, Tristan Sonnett, Gunnar Propst, Josh Makela, Allison Antony, and Emily Raney from RCMS. These students will travel to Charlottesville on March 14 for the Regional Fair. Be sure to congratulate these students when you see them and wish them well. • It is essential that we have unbiased judges to interview the young scientists and choose winners from each category. Having been a judge in the past, this waiter knows how difficult this job can be. We are very grateful for the efforts of the generous folks who gave of their time to provide this valuable service: Mr. Jay Monroe, Mr. Emerson Williams, Mrs. Helen Williams, Dr. John Tble, Mr. Kenner Love, Mr. Carl Aplin, Mr. Andy Platt, Dr. Cathy Kreyling, Mr. Holly Pendleton, Mrs. Aney Hoehn, Mr. Nels Parson, Mrs. Mary Anne Biggs, Dr. Joe Garvin, and Mr. Richard Smith. • The parent committee that helped us set up tables and decorate for the fair were an amazing lot. Not only did parents come unexpectedly, they brought their children to help! The project was completed in record time and the finished product was just incredible. Many thanks to Mr. Chris Wheatley, Mr. Kevin Nealon and children, Mrs. Sandy Antony, Mrs. Jane Wilson, Mrs. Laura Dodd, Mrs. Linda Torrance and children, Josh Makela, Jesse Palmer, Mr. Jim PUBLIC HEARING Proposed Tier III (Exceptional Water) Designation for The Hazel River The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors is seeking public input on a proposal to forward the Hazel River for consideration by the State Water Control Board as a designated Tier III Exceptional Water. They will hold a public hearing on this matter at 7:00 pm on Monday, February 4, 2002 at the Courthouse in Washington, VA. The nominated section of the Hazel River is its entire length, from its headwaters in the Shenandoah National Park in Rappahannock County to its confluence with the Rappahannock River in Culpeper County. A designation as an Exceptional Water would prevent any new or increased discharges into the designated section of the fiver, and may entail additional impacts pending Environmental Protection Agency required amendments to the anti-degradation policy section of the Virginia Water Quality Standards regulation. A file with supplementary information is available for your inspection at the County Administration Office at 290 Gay Street in Washington, VA, during normal business hours. Interested persons are invited to attend the meeting or to make their comments in writing to the Board of Supervisors at PO Box 519, Washington. VA 22747. BY ORDER OF John W.

The gym looked a little like an ant colony with so much positive, energetic activity: Thanks, too. to TrinityEpiscopal Church for lending us tables for the event. We rely on their generosity every year and are very grateful to them. The thankless part of the activity was on Friday, as we disassembled the fair. The wonderful people who showed up to lend muscle for that effort were Mr. Kevin Nealon, Mr. Eric Hilscher and Erica, Mr. Dave Roberts and Mr. Mark Ferris. Thanks to everyone. Congratulations to the RCPS Middle School Basketball team on their strong win against North Fork Middle School last Wednesday at RCHS. The Middle School students traveled to the high school after school for their Incentive Party to cheer on their friends as they defeated the competition handily. • On Jan. 24 John Jenkins, Band Director from a magnet school in Norfolk, visited Rappahannock to work with our Band students in 5th through 12th grades. His inspiring style motivated students on all instruments, but especially our percussionists. He remained to work after school with our percussion section until 5 p.m. We heard rave reviews all day about his performance. Many thanks to Mrs. Fournier and the Band Boosters for affording our students this wonderful opportunity. • Many thanks to Headwaters for sponsoring the latest in their Education Forum series on Jan. 24. This forum focused on the International Baccalaureate program and what it will mean for our school system. Mr. Bob Snee, Principal of George Mason High School, spoke on the merits and mechanics of the program. This was followed by a panel discussion moderated by Mary Anne Biggs, former Assistant Superintendent of Rappahannock County Public Schools. The panelists included Joe Perine. RCHS Principal; Melissa Delcour. Jenny Stanley, Mike Weir and Karen Alexander, high school and middle school teachers; and Richard Smith. Director of Curriculum and Instruction. This was just another of Headwaters attempts to inform the public of important issues facing our school system. • The last home Academic Challenge Team meet was on Monday at RCHS. Results were not available at press time. You still have one opportunity to cheer them on at the District meet at Strasburg on Thursday evening, Jan. 31. We will report the results of the two meets as soon as they are available. • Winter session classes of Adult Education have begun, and students are busily working in a variety of areas! Basics Repairs is in full swing on Mondays with one phantom student (don’t ask!). Basics of Investing, Word Processing, Basics of Excel (spreadsheets), Basic Culinary Techniques, and Web Page Design are up and running as well. These kinds of classes and others are available through our program twice each year, thanks to the support of our community, and the generosity of our talented instructors. Look for information on our fall program this summer. Photos courtesy of Patti Waddell SENIOR DIVISION: Sean Robertson won with his project: "A Tale of Two Cells." JUNIOR DIVISION: Jenkins Dove's project, "Energizer - Hot versus Cold" was the winner. • It you have not yet begun to save Campbell’s Soup labels or General Mills box tops for RCES, it is not too late. We collect each of them year round and they provide support for two very important areas. Soup labels provide equipment for our P.E Department, and are clipped and counted lovingly by the wonderful Seniors at the Senior Center in Washington. • Volunteer Amo Merritt, clips and counts box tops for our Art Department. She has managed to find a sponsor who will match all funds collected through this effort up to $1000! We are presently in the midst of a contest to see which class can bring in the most. The winning class will be rewarded with a pizza party. Many thanks to all of you who help with these campaigns. • Have a great week. Attend an athletic event at RCHS! Cheer for the RCHS Academic Challenge Team (otherwise known as the Scholastic Bowl Team) at their next meet! Call your child’s teacher to check in! Get involved! Science From Page A1 of batteries. Contrary to popular beliefs, freezing batteries does not prolong their life. The best temperature for prolonging the life of batteries, according to Dove, is room temperature. Sean Robertson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Robertson, won the senior division with his project entitled “A Tale of Two Cells.’’ Robertson extended his animal cell regeneration project from last year by comparing the regeneration of plant and animal cells. His study involved the use of African violet tissue and Planarian (simple flatworms) tissue. Robertson reached the conclusion that Planarian cells regenerate faster than African violet cells but African violet cells withstand more harsh conditions. Robertson is a senior this year and plans to major in biology in college. Honorable mention awards in the junior division went to the following eighth grade projects: Joe Rechin’s projected entitled “My Boat Won’t Float,” Michael Bailey’s project entitled “Energy Crisis Solved,” Dos Allen’s project entitled “Bridges: What Holds You Up,” Lisa Maloney’s project entitled "Shake, Rattle and Germinate,” Patrick Treanor’s project “Well! What’s the pH?,” Tristan Sonnett’s project entitled "Light Power” and Allison Antony’s project entitled "Relationship or No Relationship: That Is the - Question.” Seventh grade projects winning honorable mention were Jesse Palmer’s “To Melt or Not to Melt,” Clay Vicker’s “Window Wars,” See SCIENCE, Page AB.

Association makes donation ; By Steven Miller I Special to the Rappahannock News | The Amissville Area Community Association raised $300 toward the Rappahannock County Historic Survey planned to begin this year. . The donation resulted from Jthe raffling of the Civil War print “Old Jack" by David Wright, one of America’s leading painters of historical figures. ; i* Jim Gannon, of the • Sperryville Book Store where the print was obtained, stated Uiis print shows General Thomas “Stonewall" Jackson and his Corps on the march. He l __ _ f ' reflected “this scene could easily have been Lee Highway in Amissville that August in 1862” Jackson’s unit marched from Jeffersonton directly through Amissville turning north on Hinsons Ford Road toward the battle of Second Manassas. In fact, the Amissville area saw many troop activities during the war including a number of combat actions. The winner of “Old Jack” was Lizora Miller of Sperryville. Her son, Cliff Miller, said he bought the ticket knowing she already had a place for it over her fireplace. The historic survey is designed to provide the first comprehensive inventory of all the historic properties in the county. This effort is in line with AACA’s objectives of maintaining and promoting the village’s heritage and rural character. It is felt that the survey will be an important to increasing resident’s awareness of the number and background on historic homes in the village. As part of its own efforts the Association is posting a “Village History” page to its website. Check the Amissville website at http//:www.amissville.com for more information.

RLEP to sponsor winter nature walk The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection will sponsor a winter nature walk on Sunday, Feb. 10 at 2 p.m. at Bruce and Susan ■Jones place, 601 Long Mountain Road near Washington. Birds at the feeder ... what kind are they? Is the nest in the tree made of leaves or sticks? You can identify trees by their leaves in the summer, but in the winter ... just bark and silhouette to work with! And the pods and stalks of last summers’ flowers, beg for identity. “Many questions arise, and we may not have the answers, but we will try! Come and share in nature’s winter look — not many leaves, but plenty of bird nests. We will walk trails (may be wet, snowy, or muddy) and observe those winter items we can’t see in the summer, but such a different look during the February landscape,” said Mr. Jones. Please bring binoculars, boots, books and curiosity to help in identifying nature’s winter secrets. RSVP to Bruce/Susan Jones, 675-3152 or bsjonz@aol.com.

Arundel, a news executive who founded and named Great Meadow in 1984, has deeded about 200 acres of land to the non-profit foundation which operates the field events facility for equestrian events and free community activities. Arthur Arundel This gift provides that all the land, which is near The Plains, will remain in perpetual open space. “I cannot imagine a reason for being in these Virginia foothills without pastures, woodlands and streams. Something will have gone out of us as a people if in our times we let this remaining open countryside near our nation's capital be destroyed." Arundel said. The Virginia Gold Cup race course moved to Great Meadow in 1984. As race chairman. Arundel built the non-profit steeplechase event to national standing with crowds of 50,000.

The new service provides homework help, health advice and massive newspaper and magazine archives. According to Director Shaffer, “Through the Library’s Internet gateway, Rappahannock county residents can access resources that are usually only found in major city or research libraries.” What an opportunity for a county with less than 7,000 people! For Rappahannock students, there’s a wealth of information that can help with homework assignments. Products designed for specific age groups allow students to find newspaper and magazine articles at their reading level. The Library was able to acquire these databases by participating in a program with the Library of Virginia. Public libraries simply need computers and Internet connectivity to participate and we are grateful to the “Friends of the Library” for providing the computers there. Director Shaffer encourages Rappahannock residents to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Children are ^—. encouraged to use the Our local public library has new electronic databases library and enrich their lives through programs offered right here in beautiful Rappahannock County.

Congrats to the architect! Roger Batchelder Amissville Setting the record straight regarding Ordinance I have read each response published in this Newspaper and heard many comments regarding the pending Lighting Ordinance. It is apparent those who oppose the Ordinance do not understand the meaning. The letters published on Nov. 28 -and Dec. 5 are a prime example of not understanding the Ordinance. Below are the facts about the Ordinance that can be verified by County Officials. 1. The Ordinance applies to commercial establishments requiring a site plan. (Please note, if the building is already constructed and in operation, the business does not require a site plan) 2. Commercial businesses currently operating are not required to change their current lighting. (See my note in #1 above) 3. If the current commercial business operating prior to the passing of this ordinance has a failed lighting fixture in the future, they See ORDINANCE, Page A7 Tribute to John Jackson Today, Martin Luther King Day, I heard that a man was dead. A man from the community that I grew up in. But someone I never knew while growing up there. A man who performed all over the world, but whose music I had never even heard of before moving to Charlottesville in 1966. I first heard John Jackson at the Prism Coffeehouse in 1970. It was there, as a matter of fact, that I first learned of the existence of traditional African American blues! This was music not heard on radio or television. I was to hear him at the Prism on other occasions over the years, most recently in October 1998 when he appeared at a Prismsponsored concert along with Ralph Stanley celebrating the American Heritage Fellovys Awards those two great traditional musicians had received. I was planning to see him at the Prism on Jan. 12 when the concert was canceled due to his serious illness. And now comes the sad news today. I wish I had known John • Jackson and now it is too latg. He always came across as a kind, gentle person in his performances, a true gentleman; in the best sense of the word. I heard him relate on a CD how he gave up playing music for a long time because some gatherings had become too violent. I cannot help but contrast this integrity with the thuggish behavior of some of our contemporary so-called entertainers. Two of the most memorable performances of his that I saw were in Sperryville at Apple Harvest Festivals, in 1995 and 1997. I felt so proud that Rappahannock was giving perhaps her most famous sop See JACKSON, Page A7 From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News Down Memory Lane 40 YEARS AGO Feb. 1, 1962 The silence of the night was broken by the throb of diesel motor as the first artificial snow was laid on the local ski area. Gasoline lanterns, dotting the hillside, pierced the darkness and reflected the prisms made by tiny snowflakes as “operation ski snow” got underway at 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning. Frank Louckes, manager of the Skyline Ski Club announced that the artificial snow equipment in the Harris Hollow Ski Area is almost complete and with desirable temperatures the slopes will soon be usable. The first snow was laid early Sunday morning on the intermediate slope but warm weather the first of the week was not conducive to snow making. WA. Moore Jr., who has been stationed in Greenville, Miss, is spending a leave with his parents. He will leave Feb. 7 for Califomii and on the 25th will leave for a three-year tour of duty in Japan with the U.S. Air Force. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. WA Moore of Flint Hill. At the Pitt’s Theatre in Culpeper featured movies included: Mystery at Tiger Bay; Michael Strogoff; John Wayne in The Commacheros and The Second Time Around featuring Debbie Reynolds. 25 YEARS AGO Feb. 3, 1977 Home heating fuel supplies are dwindling throughout the state and suppliers to Rappahannock customers aren’t any better of! than those elsewhere. Nish North and Sons in Huntly, Riddleburg and Carter in Front Royal and L.R. Waters in Culpeper, have all stopped accepting qny new customers. Although none of the companies have had to resort to half tank refills, this possibility hasn’t been ruled out for the future. Mike Smoot of Washington, who attends DeKalb College in Georgia, was chosen in the winter professional baseball draft of junior colleges by the Baltimore Orioles. He was selected in the sixth round and was given the option of going with that team now or playing out the season with DeKalb. Mike is attending the college on a baseball scholarship. He is a 1976 graduate of Rappahannock County High School and is a right-handed pitcher. The Amissville Volunteer Fire Department Inc. answered a total of 178 calls for the year of 1976. Total number of fires was 72; 25 structural; 22 brush; 16 auto; six miscellaneous and three false alarms. Forty of these calls were in Rappahannock County and 32 in Culpeper County. i Total number of rescue calls was 106. Mrs. Lynne Baines of Washington was recently elected as a member of the Board to the Culpeper Community Concert Association.

Jeff Brown of the Sheriff’s Office, who taught the * course.

Ordinance From Page A6 may replace it with the same or like fixture and again, do hot have to abide by the New Lighting Ordinance. 4. Single family homes and farms do not require site plans when constructed. This means, no new home or farm will be required to abide by the New' Lighting Ordinance. (Please note again, if your farm or home is already constructed, the Ordinance does not apply to you) > 5. If a light burns out on |any light on your property, Rappahannock County will not require you to replace it Jwith a conforming light fixture or bulb. 1 6. There is not a single resident, farmer or business owner currently living or operating in Rappahannock County, who will he affected hy any of the requirements of this Ordinance. 7. This Lighting Ordinance does protect you from the Corporate America, who will install any number of lights to attract you to their business. This Ordinance is not designed to stop any new business from being established here. It does mean the new businesses (requiring a site plan) must meet the letter and intent of this Ordinance. I hope this clears up any misconceptions regarding this Ordinance. Paul Komar Vice President, RLEP Jackson from Page A6 liis much deserved recognition a more somber note, it occurred to me that when I ;was growing up there a racially-integrated combo might not have been playing |on a front lawn on Main Street, Sperryville. I remember that an older white man greeted Mr. Jackson in a very friendly manner, doubtless, someone, if local, who grew7 up under segregation. And now he is gone. No more will he visit Charlottesville which he called one of his favorite places to play. I hope that Rappahannock will pay fitting tribute with some appropriate memorial to this man who grew up in difficult times, in a racially-segregated, isolated society, but who overcame. He made a much better life for himself than his ancestors had ever known, and remained a fine human being in the process. He enriched all our lives. Rappahannock should be proud that she produced him. Patrick Alther Charlottesville Mercer to head Building Technologies Institute Amissville resident Bill fiercer was named director of the Virginia Community College System’s (VCCS) new Institute for Building Technologies. Mr. Mercer will take a six-month sabbatical from his post as head of the Building Technologies Program at the Manassas campus of Northern Virginia Community College to provide his expertise to development tasks for the new Institute. His initial efforts will include establishing communications between the building trades programs at the twenty-three community colleges of the VCCS, developing a longterm plan for supporting the building trades industry in Commonwealth, coordinating faculty professional development, integrating credit and non-credit certification prograins, and working with a statewide advisory board to develop worker-trainee recruitment strategies. The Institute for Building Technologies was established by the Virginia Community College System to address .critical labor shortages in the construction industry, and is designed to provide a statewide and coordinated effort for the recruitment and training of new construction industry workers. It is estimated that 240,000 workers will be needed each year for the next ten years to meet demand. Mr. Mercer said that the coordination of the building trades programs across the community college system is of the utmost importance. “Programs from architecture to welding have components that deal with the construction industry, and we want to make sure everybody across the state is working together,” he said. “A statewide outlook will allow us to respond more quickly to requests from industry for specialized programs. In addition,” he added, “a coordinated effort will help us consolidate resources, which is very important in today’s economic climate.” Bill Mercer’s experience and reputation make him the perfect candidate for this development role. He owned and operated a construction firm, has been working with colleges and industry groups for the past few years to establish national standards for training programs, developed the Manassas campus carpentry training program, and was instrumental the success of the annual Construct-aCareer Camp for middle school students held at the Manassas Campus.

This week from Delegate Allen Louderback It was the 20th Century writer Jean Anouilh who penned the truism: “Love is, above all. the gift of oneself." A week ago last Friday m v mother died and I lost the one whose gift of love propelled me from an infant into the adult I am today. Iva Mae?known as Trixie bv all who knew her?was a homemaker during an age when few' women worked outside the home. She was always there for me, when I returned from school, came home for Christmas from college or returned to Luray on weekends from my job in Washington. Her death, at seventynine w'as not unexpected, but a shock nonetheless. The hole it leaves in me will never be refilled, but I have the love of Nadia and our sons as I go forward without mom. For all of you who prayed, sent messages and flow'ers, attended the “wake" or funeral, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Governor Warner now estimates that over the next twm and a half years the Corpmonwealth budget hole will expand to $3.5 billion. Sadly, much of our task this year?and beyond?in the General Assembly is to fairly apportion the pain. The Cost Cutting Caucus meets weekly to identify where the Commonwealth can provide needed citizen services at less cost. I came up with an idea and learned, after I researched it,, that the Commonwealth could save $1.9 million and put that same amount into funding law' enforcement positions. Eighteen states seem to get along without great mishap by mandating that vehicles have license plates only on the rear. After driving up and down 1-95 on my trips to Richmond. I noticed that most of our neighboring states get along with only a rear plate. Why not Virginia? The opposition to one vehicle tag came fast and furious from law' enforcement officers in the District. My friends in the State Police, sheriff departments and town police departments argued strongly that the front license plate was a valuable tool in apprehending wrong doers. After their opposition, I would be less than totally frank with you if I professed strongly that my bill would get out of the Transportation Committee during this session of the General Assembly. If one Virginia license plate is not a cost saving option, what positive saving suggestions do our law enforcement personnel offer in the alternative? The clear point is that each of us should look around for signs of program duplication, waste and fraud. Where can unnecessary spending be cut back or cut out? Are you, particularly state employees, aware of fat that can be eliminated in order that the budget muscle can be protected? If so, I urge you to contact me in Richmond by telephone at 804-698-1015 or fax 804-6981815. There is a movement afloat in the General Assembly to get more young men of Virginia to register for the draft. The legislative proposal was to withhold a Virginia driver's license from young men who have not registered for Selective Service. A good goal, but wait a momenf’our young men are eligible for a driver's license at the age of fifteen and a half, but cannot register for Selective Service until age eighteen. If we are concerned about non-registration bv some young men. should we issue driver's licenses only valid until age eighteen in order to force them to re-apply at draft registration time? Neither the bill nor the floor debate provided an answer. Accordingly, last week on the House floor I voted against the bill. It passed 64-35.

Attracting Purple Martins: Part I 5 Backyard : Happenings Jim Bywaters Martins are not like any other bird that frequents your backyard; they actually like to see human activity around their site. With tha* in mind, start by looking for a place to put the housing within about 60 - 100 feet of your house. It has been proven that martins will settle in a site faster if it is within close proximity of human housing and activity. This has to do with the belief that human activity will keep predators away from the site. The correct placement of martin housing is a real art. Besides preferring their housing to be placed within a certain distance of human housing, martins also have very specific space requirements. The air space immediately surrounding their housing should be unobstructed in at least a couple of directions so they can fly to and from their housing in nearly level flight. There should be no trees taller than the martin house within 60 feet. In fact, the farther the martin house is placed from trees the better. If your yard violates this 60 foot rule, try mounting the housing higher relative to the trees, moving the martin house to a more open area, or, as a last resort, cutting down one or more trees. Remember, trees and purple martins do not go together. The single biggest reason people fail to attract martins is that they place their martin housing incorrectly within their yards, or their yards are inappropriate martin habitat to begin with. Martins will settle in housing that is placed between 12’ and 20’ high. They have been known to nest higher, but for the average site, anything between the two numbers mentioned should work. Thought should be given to predators. Any animal, bird or reptile that will take either the eggs, young or mature birds is considered a predator. Any site that is not predator proof will have difficulty in attracting martins. Regardless of the type of housing you have and the type of pole it is mounted on, make sure it has a good working predator guard. One raid by a predator and the site will be abandoned and the birds will not return. If the birds have not settled in yet, they will look the place over very intently, and if they do not feel safe, then they will leave. Predator guards are cheap and are well worth the money and effort Library series continues By Sallie Morgan Special to the Rappahannock News On Friday, Feb. 8 at 8 p.m., the RAAC Friday at the Library Series will feature Kurt Campbell and Michele Flournoy, co-authors of To Prevail: An American Strategy for the Campaign Against Terrorism published by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC. To Prevail was published in the immediate aftermath of- Sept. 11, and provides a durable framework for understanding the campaign ■ against terrorism, identifies key elements of an American strategy, and explores the war’s profound implications for both domestic and foreign policy. Sept. 11 shattered America’s sense of invulnerability, prompting profound questions about our nation’s purpose and resolve, both at home and abroad. To Prevail is the first systematic effort since the attacks to provide an answer to the most elemental question stemming from the tragedy: How do we fight and win a war against global terrorism? Kurt Campbell is senior vice president and director of the CSIS International Security Program and deputy director of the Aspen Strategy Group. Campbell came to CSIS from the Department of Defense, where he served as deputy assistant secretary of defense. Campbell owns and runs Iron Bell Run Farm in Rappahannock County. Michfde Flournoy is a senior adviser in the CSIS International Security Program, where she works on a broad range of defense policy and international security issues. Previously, she was a distinguished research professor at the Institute for National Strategic Studies at the National Defense University (NDU). Prior to joining NDU, she was dual-hatted as principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy and threat reduction and deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy. Garden Club discusses Organic Gardening By Susan Jones Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock County Garden Club met in January to discuss Organic Gardening — Why Bother? The discussion was led by Donna Marquisee, the gardener/greenhouse grower at Sunnyside Farms. She began by putting gardening in a historical perspective. She pointed out that the early settlers of our land were all growing “organically,” the natural way. They brought seeds with them when they settled, saved their seeds from year to year, and relied on information about natural ways to manage their crops passed on to them from previous generations. That pattern continued until early 20th century, when commercial fertilizers, chemicals, hybrid seeds, and huge crops began to change the way things were grown. Growing crops on a large scale with the “new” technology also brought with it some big problems; the destructiveness of DDT is but one example. Ms. Marquisee pointed out that small gardeners don’t need to use unnatural substances to manage their gardens, and that most gardeners today really do practice organic techniques, such as composting and natural fertilizing. Also she noted that there are many products available today to keep our gardens growing well that are based on organic substances. Non-organic broad-spectrum chemicals kill everything in their path and don’t allow the natural systems of beneficial insects to function. Chemicals also inhibit the natural >2 required to install them. The above also goes for any other qi species of birds that take over the site and the nesting cavities. If any other species is allowed to settle into a martin house before martins have established themselves, the site will rarely attract x nesting martins. This is because birds set up territories around their nest sites and defend then against other birds. These nest site competitors, usually starlings and sparrows, will aggressively repel any martins that might come searching for nesting sites. Martins are easily repelled from entire houses at un-established sites by aggressive actions of nest site competitors. If a martin has never nested at a particular site before, it has not developed “site tenacity” there. Without “site tenacity”, a martin is easily repelled. In contrast, once a martin has nested successfully at a site- it rarely will be intimidated from reclaiming that site the following year. Although martins have been known to nest in houses and gourds painted other colors, white seems to attract them best. First of all. housing painted white reflects the heat of the sun; martins /choosing white housing lose fewer nestlines to heat i stress. Secondly, white highlights the darkness of the entrance holes, making the cavi v ties more conspicuous to searching martins. And finally, white is believed to best enhance the male % martin s courtship display. Because of all these advantages, natural selection seems to have favored the choice of white housing by martins. There will be more on attracting Purple Martins to your backyard week. Happy Birding! Jim Bywaters, Rappahannock News Nature Writer, writes a weekly column.

Levinson has a knack for making anything funny; almost every scene has something to chuckle over. Bandits will be at The Theatre on Gay Street in Washington, Va., Friday, Feb. 1 at 8 p.m. Starring Bruce Willis as Joe Blake and Billy Bob Thornton as Tenfir Collins, the two convicts break out of a federal penitentiary and begin sticking up a string of banks in the coastal Northwest. Quicktempered Blake is the duo’s action man, while Collins is the brain. Known as the Sleepover Bandits for their strategy of spending the eve of their robberies with the manager of the bank, they have a dream to raise enough money to open a swanky nightclub in Mexico. However, things become complicated when Cate i Blanchett as Kate Wheeler, a l bored housewife with a mercurial \ temperament, allows herself to be carjacked by Collins. Shtf , talks her way into joining their k little gang, first pairing off romantically with Blake, then M with Collins. W Blanchett tests her come r dy abilities tor the First time and holds her own with costars , Bruce Willis and Billy Bob k Thornton. Her performance is ^ likely to do for her career what H The Fabulous Baker Boys did for Michelle Pfeiffer’s. Blanchett is sexy, funny, wily and vulnerable. Willis does a tough and charming act, but it’s Thornton who gets the lion’s share of the comedy. Completely neurotic, he claims to be phobic about everything from furniture to the hair of Benjamin Disraeli. It’s a smart, character-driven caper comedy that will keep you well amused. Bandits is rated PG-13, and runs 122 minutes. pollination process by killing the bees and butterflies as well as their larvae. Some people are adversely affected by these chemicals in our environment. “Do I really need to use this chemical?” “Will this problem probably go away by itself?” These are questions she encouraged us to ask ourselves. She told us that some gardeners have a garden for ailing plants they call a “Last Chance” garden, in an out-of-the-way place, to give the plants a place to improve without spoiling more prominent gardens. A gardener might also plant a border on the edge of a garden just for beneficial insects. The club’s monthly meeting began with refreshments of cherry pie and coffee served bv Edna Metzinger, Harriet Stokes, and Janet Eastham. Several flower arrangements were entered in the design category of Singular and Green and Growing. At the end of the meeting blue ribbons were awarded for those designs to Janet Eastham, Carol Miller, Betty Wood, Jo-an Getsinger, and Jane Batchelder. Evergreens, both needled and broadleaf. were also exhibited. Jo-an Getsinger, Mary Revercomb, Susan Jones, Janet Eastham, Celine Siira and Virginia Scott all won blue ribbons for their horticulture entries. Kick-off meeting for Relay for Life team captains By Bette Mahoney Special to the Rappahannock News The first meeting of the Rappahannock County Chapter of the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life Team Captains will be held on Thilrsday, Feb. 7 at 7:30 at the Washington Baptist Church. Everyone thinking about participating as a Team Captain in the Relay, and anyone can do it, is invited to attend. The overall plans and preparations for the upcoming Relay will be discussed at this kick-off meeting. Team packages and information to help your team get started will be available. Refreshments will be served and door prizes will be awarded. The Relay for Life is the annual fund raising event of the Rappahannock County Chapter of the American Cancer Society. The Relay will take place at the Rappahannock County Elementary School on May 1718. Teams of 10 to 15 people will set up campsites and take turns moving around a track during this overnight event, which is both a celebration of life and a community party. The event is more than a fundraiser. Cancer education takes place. Survivors walk the first lap, symbolizing the progress we have made. Evening luminary ceremonies memorialize those special people who have lost their battles with disease. Actual fund raising takes place before the event as Relay teams' members solicit sponsors for themselves and their teams and through other activities such as bake sales and yard sales. Last year the Rappahannock County Relay raised over $50,000. Over 60 percent of the funds collected stay within the region. The other almost 40 percent of the funds goes for public support allocated to National programs for research, medical grants and fellowships and supporting services. Within the county, programs include: • Cancer Education. An example of which is the Colon Cancer Forum to be held at 7:30 at the Washington Baptist Church on March 21. • Reach for Recovery. This is a program where a trained breast cancer survivor provides assistance to a newly diagnosed breast cancer patient. • Tell A Friend. This is a program where volunteers in the community are recruited to call their friends who might not be regularly having mammograms and encourage them to be screened. Additional information about cancer is available to everyone, in part through our Relay Funds, at 1-800ACS-2345 or online at www.cancer.org. A good way for you to join in the fight against cancer is to lead a Relay team. Join us on Thursday, Feb. 7 at the Washington Baptist Church to learn what is involved in being the Captain of a team. Last year, we had almost 40 teams. Let's see if we can do even better this year.

There was very little transportation, and many farms were on a rough dirt road. The farmer usually took a team of horses and a wagon when he went to town, or to the mill to get com ground into com meal. Butter and eggs were traded for the necessary staples needed for cooking, such as soda, baking powder, sugar and flour. Before there was a pharmacy or a gourmet shop, there was Watkins products that started in 1868 with health “remedies" that came with money back guarantees. Our household became very familiar with the Watkins products. There were many items the salesman carried that could not be purchased from the local stores. Our dealer was Mr. V.H. Keeler who traveled in a panel truck with most anything you needed lined on each side. His store house was at Washington, and he had certain routes to make each month. The flavoring extracts came in different sizes and flavors which included vanilla, lemon, orange, and peppermint. I’m sure there were others, but the vanilla and lemon was what we used the most. The spices included cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and ginger. The black pepper was used all year and especially at butchering time to help cure the meat. The tins are collectibles today. The powdered pie fillings w’ere packaged in large cans that held enough to make several pies. The mixtures were blended with liquid and egg yolks and cooked to make fillings for pies and puddings. Lemon and chocolate were our favorites, but there were other flavors. The egg whites were beaten with a hand beater, and used to make a meringue topping. This was before you could get soft drinks in cans and bottles. Watkins sold powdered soft drink mixes in a can. These were available in different fruit flavors, and were mixed with Sperryville By SALLY KEYSER 987-8471 water. It was a real treat on a hot day. The Watkins Company had a record of many first “things”. The red liniment made from Asian camphor and red pepper extract was their first product. It was always kept on hand and had many usages. There was white liniment used for aches, a healing salve that my Daddy used for any kind of cut or sore. Not only for us, but on any of his animals that had a wound. Other medicines for the farm animals was horse liniment, disinfectant, and sheep dip. The list changed according to the family needs. There was much to choose from. J. R. Watkins, 28, founded the J.R. Watkins Medical Company in Plainview, Minn. This was one of America's first natural remedy company where associates market went directly to the consumer. The company moved in 1885 to Winona, Minn, which was a booming logging town on the banks of the Mississippi River. The Watkins Museum in Minnesota has a complete collection of the “Watkins Almanac Home Doctor and Cookbook”. The first one was published in 1901. Their herb tablet (vitamins) was introduced in 1922, and Watkins was ahead of its time in realizing the benefits of vitamins.

V/AEhINQTON J A Courtesy of Sally Keyser LONG AGO: County residents were always served by Watkins. The dealers quickly learned their customers' needs and demands and provided necessary service. The Watkins Company dedicated 90 percent of their products to World War II allies. Products like pure dried whole eggs, dessert powder, gelatin dessert, lemon spice powder, orange beverage base powder, louse powder, and insecticide powder for body crawling insects. Ownership of the company was transferred in 1978 after 110 years, from the Watkins family to Irwin Jacobs and his family. They have refined and expanded the products. Their history has added another chapter with customers ordering from a list of more than 350 items from their web site: www. Wa tkinsonline.com. We have come so far in the last 100 years, but online shopping is not as much fun as we had waiting and enjoying our purchases from the “Watkins Man” • • • • A belated happy birthday to Mrs. Lillie Pullen, who celebrated her birthday Jan. 28.

While none really exists, there are certain paths that can be followed to help facilitate the journey. Grief does not proceed in a straight line and may, in fact, progress in a circular fashion. Fortunately, when grief does return, it will find us stronger. While some say the passage of time is the great emotional healer, it is making good use of the time that is so important. In the initial phases of grief, time is necessary to acknowledge and assimilate emotions. The most important step we can take toward healing is to grant ourselves time and permission to grieve. Often, for many of us in this “quick fix” culture, it's hard to just allow ourselves to feel lousy, confused, angry, and hurt-especially when we know that everyone faces loss. At the Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenu.e, Warrenton we understand how disorienting grief can be, and we offer our professional support to help the funeral plans go as smoothly as possible. If you feel overwhelmed, we offer calm, patient assistance. For a tour call 347-3431.. Bright View Cemetery is just outside Warrenton. “/ do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death. " ~ Francis Bacon Research Lab.
