Gene McCarthy writes again “From Rappahannock County” By James P. Gannon Special to the Rappahannock News Rappahannock County’s most famous and revered writer, former U.S. Senator Eugene J. McCarthy, has just published a new collection of his essays on country life and manners, titled “From- Rappahannock County.” Ranging over subjects from merkle hunting and turkey calling to coon dogs and country stores, the book presents the author’s observations and reflections on living in Rappahannock County, which he has done at his rural Woodville home for more than a quarter century. It is written with the wit and wisdom that has characterized the man that America got to know as a Senator and presidential candidate, and that Rappahannock residents got to know as a friendly fellow who would drop in to local stores to drink coffee and swap stories. Lately, Senator McCarthy, who is 86, has suffered some health problems. He is currently staying at an assisted living facility in Washington, D.C., after a stay in the hospital. By telephone last week, he displayed his irrepressible humor about his situation. The stay in the assisted living home, he said, “ia sort of like being on a cruise boat on the River Styx. I don’t know if they are assisting me to live or assisting me to die.” But he said his condition was improving and he expected to be back to Rappahannock County before long. His new book pulls together many of his pieces on Rappahannock County that have been published previously in books now out-of-print. The new edition is illustrated by attractive wood cuts and numerous photographs of county sites. Among the sites pictured are Estes Mill, Sperryville Cemetery, Dennis’ Store in Scrabble, Burke’s Grocery in Woodville, the Sperryville Corner Store, Old Rag Mountain, and the Confederate Monument in the Town of Washington., As the introduction of the new edition states, these pieces are the “stories, musings and reminiscences of DerhaDs the last American politician to carry an ounce of poetry in his blood.” Before he retired to Rappahannock County, Mr. McCarthy was a Minnesota college professor, congressman, U.S. Senator, three-time presidential candidate and is a widely published poet and writer on politics, history, and American life. When he is able, he hopes to schedule a reading and signing ol his new book at the Old Sperryville Bookshop, which in recent years has become one of his hangouts. In the meantime, this new edition is available from the bookshop on Main Street at a price of $12.95. Copies may be ordered by calling 987-8444 or by sending e-mail orders to bookchurch@earthlink.net. Book sale slated for June 28-29 By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer The Town of Washington Independence Day Celebration may not take place this year, but the always successful Friends of the Library Book Sale will go on, according to Library Trustee Cheri Woodard. She announced, at the Library Board of Trustees’ May meeting, that the sale will be held at the Washington School on Saturday, June 29, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and that food will be sold at the event by the Washington Baptist Church. “estate quality” fly fishing collection available at sale A preview sale will be held on Friday 28, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., but unlike past events, the preview sale will not be restricted to Friends of the Library members and donors. This year, anyone who wishes to pay the $10 admission fee can have “first crack” at the collection too. Ms. Woodard noted that, among other enticing selections, there is an “estate quality” fly Fishing collection available. Library Treasurer John McCarthy reported that he implemented the Board’s April decision, and placed $100,000 of the library’s investment fund in a long-term growth program under the management of First Union Securities of Warrenton, and placed the balance of the investment fund, with the exception of existing T-bills, in a moderate-to-long term growth mutual fund under management of the same Firm. The Board’s April motion called for these investments to be tried for a one-year period, with quarterly evaluations by the Board of Trustees. During his report. Library Director David Shaffer noted that $1,000 had been donated in memory of Henry Magruder Keyser Jr., who passed this past April 15. The donated funds will be used for book purchases. Mr. Shaffer also reported that Children's Librarian Jennifer Glenn is continuing her efforts in Summer Program planning, and a program announcement will be made'when the planning has been completed. P. Thomas first in County to earn palm Eagle Scout Phillip Thomas, Troop 36, Washington recently received the silver palm award from Shenandoah Area Council Executive Board member Darrow Kirkpatrick. Eagle is the highest rank in Scouting and is achieved by less than three percent of boys entering Scouting. What is not generally known though, is that a boy can progress beyond Eagle by earning palm awards for his Eagle badge, although this is quite unusual. Thomas, a Rappahannock County High School senior,was the first Scout in Rappahannock County history to earn a palm. He has earned a total of three palms which is quite rare on the Council and National level. Each palm requires earning five additional merit badges, being active in the Troop for at least three additional months, and further developing and demonstrating leadership ability. During his time in Troop 36, Thomas has held all leadership positions, attended two national Jamborees and will leave right after graduation as crew chief of a select group of Scouts from the Shenandoah Area Council, who will take a 17 day high adventure trek into the back country of Philmont Scout ranch in New Mexico. In addition to Scouting, Thomas has stayed quite active in high school athletics and the Student Advisory Council (SCA) of which he has been President this past year. He rounds out his schedule by working part-time on weekends. A member of the varsity track team for three years, he achieved “all state” honors last year in the Division ‘A’ 800 meter race and appears headed for a repeat this year as indicated by his recent win of the Bull Run District championship in the 800 meter event. On the varsity Cross Country team four years, he qualified for the Regional competition the last two years. Not restricting his running activities to just high school sports, he won the “18 and under” division of the annual Fodderstack race four years in a row and three of those four years won the Eva Smith award for the first male resident of the County to cross the finish line. He rounded out his sports activities by playing two years of varsity Basketball. Thomas has a keen interest in pursuing his track and cross country interests in college and one day becoming a Marine Corps officer. He is the son of Roy Thomas and Betty Thomas of Sperryville, and brother of the late Eric Thomas and the late Roy Thomas Jr. HONORED: Eagle Scout Phillip Thomas, left,' receiving silver palm award from Darrow Kirkpatrick.

Some of those reasons are, he said: that you can become fascinated with model railroading at any age, from infancy to those golden years; that you can spend as much or Trainman Phil Irwin as little time and money as you wish; and that you don’t need lots of space to be a model railroader. Phil has enjoyed the hobby and has been at it for a number of years — since 1964 — and his collection bears testimony to that: he has 119 powered locomotives in all gauges and representing train technology from the DeWitt Clinton era at the start of it all (in the 1830’s) to contemporary machines; he has hundreds and hundreds of cars and accessories; and there are at least 200 3/4” people visible on the trains, in the villages, or along the model right-of AVAILABLE JULY 1 - NOV. 1 The world's best employee Drives and repairs Orchard & Livestock Expert has worked in Rappahannock for 20 years, my need for him ends (for this year only) after my fruit harvest.

One can readily see the attraction of model railroading. There is the craft of building the tracks, the villages, the buildings, the crossings, the ponds and mountains; the art of designing the layout and its features; the fantasy of creating miniature vignettes; and the pleasure in seeing it all work as engineered. The Irwin railroad is always on time, and passenger trains, multimodals, and freight trains regularly traverse the countryside, from Sperryyard, through Potstown, and around Foulmouth curve to the Amissburg siding. Phil’s fascination with trains is naturally, perhaps even genetically, derived. His great-great-great-grandfather purportedly built the track on which the first train in New York State ran in 1831. His grandfather was Superintendent of Way for the New York Central Railroad and lost his life at a service yard at the age of 27. His grandmother was the first woman telegrapher in the United States, and his father signed-on with the New York Central Railroad in 1908 and worked as a trainman for 43 years until his death. Phil too worked for the rail industry, but in his case it was a brief stint servicing locomotives in New York between high school and college. His love for trains is not entirely satisfied by the If you are looking for a great investment, you'll find that this offer is music to your ears.

He is also a Federal Railway Administration-certified fireman and brakeman for a tourist railroad in Maryland, and has been working with an ad hoc group that is attempting to create a tourist railroad in Shenandoah County, Va. The possibility of that railroad, the Virginia Central, is real, and Phil said that it makes great economic sense to create it. The proposed line would run steam engine-powered tourist passenger trains, as well as a short-line freight train, between Strasburg and Shenandoah Caverns on some 20 miles •’of track that the group is attempting to acquire. He noted that Virginia is the only MidAtlantic state without a tourist line, and that all the other lines have proven to be profitable, both to the operators and to businesses in the vicinity of the railroads.

SPORTS This Week in Sports By Jon Smythe Athletic Director For two RCHS teams and three individual track athletes, the beat goes on. The boy’s soccer team and the girl’s softball team made it through Bull Run District Tournament competition and will continue play this week in the Regionals. Three track athletes from the school qualified at the Regional Track Championship Meet and will participate in the State Track Championships at the end of the week. Baseball The Varsity finished their season with a 7 to 0 defeat at Manassas Park in the quarterfinals of the Bull Run District Tournament. Softball The Varsity had a great week to finish district play with two wins and another championship. On Thursday, May 23 they defeated Brentsville before a home crowd in a semifinal tournament game. The final score was 10 to 4, but the outcome was never in doubt, as the Lady Panthers set the tone for the game with a four-run, first inning outburst. After that, it was clear that the reigning State Champions did not intend to be beaten in their own backyard. Gwen Johnson, Brittany Thornhill, Jamie Deal, Rachel Sharp, and Lara Kreyling all had hits in that big first inning. On Friday, May 24, the stage was set for a competitive contest with last year’s district champions, the lady Cougars from Manassas Park. The game was close for three innings until seniors’ Kelly Atkins and Gwen Johnson walked with one out in the bottom of the third. Sophomore Jamie Deal laid down another perfect sacrifice bunt to move the runners to second and third. With two outs, junior Rachel Sharp slashed a double into right center that broke the game open. The lady Panthers went on to win 3 to 0. The win gave the “Girls’ of Summer” outright ownership of both the regular season and tournament championships — a coveted position for any team, in any sport in the Bull Run District. Prior to the varsity championship game, the JV team dismantled the JV team from Brentsville behind the steady pitching of sophomore Brittany Thornhill and some heavy hitting by the JV lady Panthers. The 14 to 2 win was the first ever Rappahannock County JV championship in fast pitch softball. This was especially satisfying after being the bridesmaid in this championship game the last two years. Freshman Megan Payne led the JV 16-hit attack with four singles on the day. Soccer The Varsity boys finished what they started out to do three weeks ago, when they realized they had to play the toughest schedule in the district and win if they were to go on at the end of the season. After last week’s tough shootout loss to George Mason for the number one seed position, the Panther’s had a tough road ahead to move on. Junior Ralph Pace had a goal and exchange student, Komei Nakamura added two as the Panthers defeated the visiting Strasburg Rams 3 to 1 in the district quarterfinal game. That Tuesday, May 21 victory set the stage for another tough game with the always dangerous Tigers from Brentsville. The game would be played at George Mason’s field on Thursday, May 23. The Rapp side had split with the Tigers in the regular season and this game would determine who would go on as the number two seed from the district in the Regional “B” playoffs. It was a hard played game from whistle to whistle. In the end, Rapp got it’s goal from Ralph “the scoring machine” Pace. That lone goal, together with total team defense and some scrappy, old-fashion hustle preserved the victory and catapulted the Panthers into the Regionals. Not to be overlooked was the superb play by first-year goalie, junior Jeremy Graves. 1 he guys would lose 2 to 0 the next night against George Mason in the district championship game, but it was anti-climactic. The Panthers are going to the Region “B” tournament and that’s all that matters. The Varsity girls finished the regular season with a tie at Clarke County. They had a chance to reverse their fortunes with a victory against that same lady Eagle team at home in the quarterfinal game of the district tournament. It was not meant to be. The lady Eagles scored twice and despite numerous opportunities, the lady Panthers couldn’t finish. They fell 2 to 0 and the loss ended their season. , Track The 11 track athletes from RCHS competed at UVA’s track on Wednesday, May 22 in the Region “B” Track Championships. The top six finishers in each event and the top three relay teams moved on to the State Championships. That track meet will involve the top track athletes from all the Single “A”schools (approximately 90) in the state. It will be held at the University of Virginia’s track on Saturday, June 1 starting at 10 a.m. Participating from Rappahannock County High School and the events they qualified in are: Senior: Phillip Thomas.800m (5th place in Regionals) Sophomore: Ryisha Cook.100m (1st place in Regionals) 200m (1st place in Regionals) SOrHOMORE Ryisha Cook — first in the 100 and 200m again. 2002 Bull Run District Co-Champion Rappahannock County Soccer Team FRESHMAN Danielle North helps shore up the JV defense with her fine infield play.

Mid-week soccer exciting By Nanette Hogan Special to the Rappahannock News The Rapp Hurricanes U10 girls played in a barnburner of a makeup game, Monday night. May 20, at the Rappahannock Elementary fields against Culpeper. We had great fan support as parents and players from earlier practices stuck around to cheer us on. The game had a playoff feel to it with the chilly night air, the excited fans, and the intense play of those on the field. Culpeper went up 2-0 in the first half on a pair of breakaway runs. The Hurricanes didn’t fold but came back stronger than ever, taking multiple shots on goal but either hitting the posts or missing the posts by less than a foot. The Culpeper goalie also made plenty of quality saves. The sheer number of close shots had the fans in agony or ecstasy depending on who they were rooting for. The second half opened and Isabelle Eastham was down in the first few minutes with a wrenched knee. The team kept up the pressure though and we had some beautiful passing and crosses by Katie Huang, Sarah Hazel, Meredith Reeve and Joslyn Smith. Morgan Flournoy scored twice on assists and we had a tie game. The pace of the game never slowed but neither team was able to put away the winning goal and we ended in a tie. It gets harder each week to pick outstanding players because the whole team is playing so well. Each one is stepping up, running through the ball, controlling it, mak ing passes, taking shots. Each game seems better than the last. Way to go Hurricanes! U-6 The Rappahannock Youth U-6 “ Traveling Blueberries” continue to impress onlookers with their enthusiasm and amazing speed. Shelby Thornhill is a real standout, sticking to the ball like gum on a shoe. Lauren Groves and Grace Lezcano play the ball to each other like true teammates. Trey Swindler and Mimi White prove to be leading scorers, with a knack for finding the opening and penetrating the defense. Daniel Schlosser shows incredible ball handling skills, able to strip the ball from his opponents and send it back towards the Blueberry goal. Coach Wagoner reports she is pleased with the progress of the team. “I don’t think the parents really know what they are in for playing against this team,” she commented, referring to the upcoming June 1 match against the parents. “I don’t know if they are prepared to play against the talents like Skyler Owens, Elijah Wheelock, Miranda Shaw and Sawyer Reeve. Also, we have great support from Alexus Heckethorn and others to supply nutrition and moral inspiration. This support frees our athletes up to concentrate on training. I feel confident about our upcoming match.” Due to the Memorial weekend holiday, no games were reported and we will have the latest soccer updates next week.

The event will be held from 9:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. Captain Brown hosted the 12th annual DARE graduation last Tuesday evening for sixth graders and this Friday will mark the seventh annual DARE Day in Rappahannock. Each year the event has grown by leaps and bounds and this year promises to be the best yet. Over fifty exhibitors plan to attend the event and Rappahannock residents are encouraged to attend this educational fun-filled day for students and adults. Field Day activities will be held at the same time under the direction of Ms. Carol Nowakoski. These events will be held on the hill between the Elementary School and the School Board Office and will run from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Again, parents are encouraged to come out and cheer for their child and others as they participate in these events. Who makes this day come together for Rappahannock’s children? Lots of volunteers but without the guidance of Captain Brown such a day wouldn’t be possible. So when you see Captain Brown on the school’s grounds Friday say a word of thanks. He works countless hours to make sure that our children have a DARE Day that far exceeds what neighboring counties provide.

Letters More on our schools I have had at least one child in the Rappahannock County School system for eight years now and for the first time I am having serious doubts as to the quality of education he will be receiving as he ends his time at the elementary school this year. So often lately I run into \ another disillusioned parent who is concerned about their child in the public school system. Why did Mr. Perine resign? Most parents found this out through the newspaper.Why are so many of our wonderful teachers leaving? Why are positions being filled by aides when they need a certified teacher? We need more communication between the schools and the parents. Most importantly,we need new leadership at the top of the Central Office Administration. Please! Our children’s future is at stake! Is anything more important than that? Mary Riggleson Sperryville Bloodmobile is coming It’s time to roll up your sleeves again for our Bloodmobile coming to the Washington Fire Hall on Thursday, June 13 from 3 to 7 p.m. We hope to see many of you who donated for the first time at the Rappahannock County High School on March 18, since the required 59 days will have passed. Start out your summer by giving the Gift of Life! Call 6753638 for further information. Marie Riedel Washington Resident wants Fourth celebration returned Since when did Independence Day move to July 6 ? The liability did not seem to be a problem when the Fire Department was in charge of the Fourth of July celebration — it was a nice family celebration. We had friends from Europe who plan their vacation to be here for the Fourth of July. I am sorry, but a picnic I can make in my yard and on the right date, which is a day off for everybody. I hope Mayor Willis has good liability on his property in case of accidents? I suggest the Town Council return the Fourth of July celebrations to the Fire Department, who seem better organized and qualified. I also think that the vendors, crafts or food was very educational in culture for the whole family. The bicycle parade was the highlight for my children. I guess my grandchild won’t see it — never less be in it or see the Arabian horses on Avon Hill lawn or the concerts of different music. Without talking about our stores who had more business — the 4-H, the Fire Department, or the Library book sale — what is happening to all that? Or will it be at the picnic too? I’m a local resident for 30 years and have never missed a Fourth of July here — except this year, if nothing is changed. What a shame for our town. Christine Van-Mulders Washington From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News Down Memory Lane 40 YEARS AGO May 31, 1962 It was a grand night for singing Friday when the Glee Club of Rappahannock County High School presented its spring concert. The 36-member chorus sang religious, patriotic and light selections before a background of roses with stars shining overhead. May 31 is Teacher Appreciation Day at Rappahannock County High School and all students are “dressing up” in honor of the teachers. A faculty tea will be held in the afternoon and the ladies will be given corsages in appreciation of their long hours of “dispensing knowledge.” Local people gave hundreds of items for the R.A.D. auction Saturday and over $300 was realized from the sale. Proceeds from the sale will go toward the publication of a brochure about Rappahannock which will b( widely distributed. Receipts will cover approximately half of the cost of the brochures. Items for the sale included a bit of everything from live boxwood and pigs to baby bottles and post hole diggers. General Daniel Noce was nominated for Chairman of the Rappahannock County Planning Commission on May 24 by members of the Board of Supervisors. Captain L.B. Stuart was nominated as Vice-Chairman. Present at the meeting in addition to General Noce and Captain Stuart were H.S. Barksdale, C.E. Johnson Jr. and E.M. Jones. 25 YEARS AGO June 2, 1977 A new day care program has opened in Washington.

A conservation tax benefit for shallower pockets Shanks receives Master’s degree By Bob Dennis RCCA president The Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance recommends that all farm and forest owners take an early and thoughtful look at House Bill 1322, recently approved by Virginia’s General Assembly and Governor. This measure allows conservation easement donors to sell State income tax credits generated by their easement gifts to parties who can better use them. Over the last forty years, landowners interested in easements have noted that the easement donors who most benefited from resulting charitable tax deductions were those in the higher tax brackets; that’s the way income tax deductions work. In 1999, Virginia tried to sweeten the pot by creating State income tax credits for land conservation gifts. But these credits were limited to the amount of State income tax liability — so didn’t offer much for most rural landowners. Now, for any easement donated on or after Jan. 1, 2002, the resulting State tax credit may be “transferred” (given or sold) “for use by another taxpayer on Virginia income tax returns.” Based on years of work with easements, HI offer a personal opinion that the Virginia conservation tax credit is now the greatest land conservation tax incentive in the Nation, if not the Planet. The credit is half the appraised value of the easement. Capped at $100,000 per year, the land conservation tax credit can be spread over six years — for a total of $600,000. Assume you place a conservation easement on 500 acres. Assume your easement is valued at $1,000 per acre (not unusual in Rappahannock County). You have just qualified for a tax credit of $250,000. Somewhere in Fairfax or Norfolk or Abingdon, there is probably someone who will pay you at least $ 150,000-$200,000 for a transfer of your credit. All you have to do is find that someone. Already, in Alexandria, a for-profit organization has formed to help you. Probably, groups such as RCCA and PEC will arrange to help as well, depending on yet-to-beannounced State policies and procedures for implementing the new credit provision. Your major problem may be finding someone to accept your easement. While there are a few other options, your probable first choice would be the Virginia Outdoors Foundation — a State body with a staff already stretched thin, and likely soon to be logjammed with new easement offerings. If you are interested in pursuing this program, I suggest you act soon - first (very necessary), find an attorney experienced with conservation easements; second, call VOF (703-327-6118) and arrange a visit to your property. Another problem may lurk as well: the fiscal mess in Virginia. What the General Assembly giveth, the General Assembly can taketh away. Once aboard the tax credit train, you’re on for the entire trip. Don’t let it leave the station without you. (Individuals with questions mav contact Mr. Dennis at 540-364-2569.) Udna Annahza Shanks has received a Master’s degree in social work from the Virginia Commonwealth University. The ceremony took place Saturday, May 18 at the Carpenter Center in Richmond. Miss Shanks was among 1.000 graduates receiving diplomas and awards. She graduated from Radford University in 1996 and was a 1991 graduate of Rappahannock County High School. Miss Shanks has accepted a position as a Medical Social Worker for the Harlem Hospital Center in Harlem, N.Y. She is the daughter of Barbara L. Shanks of Washington.

On May 22 at about 9:30 p.m.. Deputy J. C. Welch stopped a car in Flint Hill going 56 mph in a 25 mph zone. While interviewing the two female occupants, he uncovered several discrepancies in the registration of the vehicle, and had problems establishing the identity of the individuals in the car. Upon further investigation, he found that the driver, Nicole J. Lewis, 29. of Bealeton. was wanted in Culpeper County on a warrant for failure to appear Ix'wis was charged in Rappahannock with speeding, improper registration, defective equipment, and altered license tags. In addition, she was charged with driving on a suspended license (third or subsequent offense, i She was arrested by Dep. Welch and , transported to Culpeper on the outstanding warrant.

The vehicle, which was registered to a person in Stafford County, was seized and will lx* stored while the investigation continues. DUI arrest near jail Odd behavior by a Marshall man driving around Washington. Va. in the vicinity of the Rappahannock Jail led to his apprehension and arrest for HIT late in the evening of Mav 2.3. Sheriff’s Office personnel noticed Jason P. Haley, 23, driving slowly around the streets near the jail at around 11 p.m.. and when Deputy Welch stopped him. it was determined that Haley was DUI. "We are concerned when people hang around the jail, because they may be trying to get contraband inside,” noted Sheriff Larry Sherertz. Halev was taken before a magistrate in Warren ton, and subsequently jailed there. & TT ”T*™r*ryr** In last week's Rappahannock News, it was incorrectly stated that Michael Doyle of Sperryvilie refused an “alco-lizer" test after being stopped on May 19 for speeding.

Riding happily into life By George Rowand Rappahannock News Staff Writer A motorcycle has to have a certain look, a certain feel, and most importantly, it seems, a certain sound. “When you go past some little town at about 50 or 60, you want the windows to rattle,” said Bill Paolicelli, owner of American Road Motorcycles with his wife Ginger. The company opened a couple of months ago in Amissville, though the grand opening was Memorial Day weekend. Why Amissville? “If you were to come out and sit next to (Route) 211 on a nice weekend in spring or autumn, there are 300500 motorcycles on the road,” Paolicelli stated. He has lived in the area for almost 15 years. A motorcycle enthusiast from way back, while he was working and commuting to a job in Manassas, he went past the old Amissville post office every day. When that moved to its new location, something dawned on him. “The idea just struck me one day,” he said. “I saw p ‘For Rent’ sign on this building, and I thought, ‘Hey, I love motorcycles! Why not a motorcycle shop?’ I went home and told my wife about my idea, and she loved it. We signed a lease, came in here and gutted the place.” Now the front of the store is lined with used motorcycles and the interior is filled with biker gear. The reception the store has received so far has exceeded Paolicelli’s expectations. “I’m very encouraged by the first couple of months we’ve been here,” he said. “It’s been very good.” Then he started to show one of the reasons why the store is doing well. His prices are very competitive. “Look at this helmet,” he said, holding up a small white one. “This is the smallest helmet that is legal. I’m selling this one for $50, and I paid $159 for a similar one last year.” Moving on, he held up a leather jacket. “We have a terrific value here. We sell this for $99, and it goes for $250 at other places. That fringed jacket,” he said, pointing to one on the top row, “that’s a $300 jacket anywhere. Here we sell it for $149.” Used bikes All the motorcycles are used, though that’s kind of a funny term to use when they carry such lowmileage. One had only 37 miles on it when Paolicelli bought it. Now it has about 75. “We’re selling everything from dirt bikes to Harley-Davidsons,” he stated. “Motorcycles have never been better than today. They’re much more reliable.” Paolicelli had just returned from a buying trip to New- Jersey and he rolled up on his new purchase when he opened the store in the morning. “I went to White House, New Jersey yesterday,” he stated. “I went to get this ‘92 Sportster 1200, w-ith 3,000 miles on it. I go w here I have to go to get the nicest stuff.” And though he loves the machines, he’s pricing them to move, including the 1970 Triumph 250, which is “about a museum piece now,” Paolicelli said. “Everything’s for sale,” he said. “I’m not trying to keep anything.” And yet he confesses that this time of year is the hardest time to accumulate an inventory. “Who wants to sell now? The weather’s getting nicer ... this is the time that people want to be out riding. The best time to buy a motorcycle is when people aren’t interested in riding, which is usually in December or January.” At present his store doesn’t have the space to have a service area, but Paolicelli intends to rectify that situation in the future if he can expand to a larger location. Like a lot of people who go into business for themselves, Paolicelli could be making more money doing his old job, but that he’s enjoying himself is evident. He’s just a big fan of motorcycles. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Mark F Syphef SITTING PRETTY: Bill Paolicelli sits on a motorcycle outside of his new shop on U.S. 211 in Amissville. That road attracts between 300-500 cyclists on a nice day. “It’s all about the ride ... about being out on the road. You can smell the freshly-cut grass in the summer and then the wood smoke in the fall. You don’t get that riding in a car. “I was a sales manager in the automobile business for 20 years,” he said. “I’d much rather ride one of these than drive a car.” And he’s certain that his location will prove a plus to his business. “Everybody’s riding 211. Some folks rode all the way over here to buy a T-shirt, which was unbelievable. The motorcyclists are already here, and motorcyclists typically love motorcycle shops. I do — I stop at every one I see.” Paolicelli is riding one of the cycles he has in inventory right now, a 2001 Yamaha Road Star. He said that he likes it for a variety of reasons, but aesthetics was high on his list. “It looks like a quintessential American motorcycle,” he said. “And they really got the sound down on this bike.” Does it sound like this is one happy man? Let him tell it himself. “I’m having the best time I’ve had in 20 years,” he said. “It’s truly a blessing to be able to do what I love to do.” American Road Motorcycles is located at 14828A Lee Highway in Amissville.

Ki Theatre fund raiser successful and fun for all By Barbara Adolfi Special to the Rappahannock News On Saturday, May 18, Pete Gecere generously opened his Folk Art Collection for the benefit of Ki Theatre.

I had forgotten how colorful these cushions are!” It’s a sure sign that winter is past when we pull the lawn furniture out of our musty basement or the dusty garage and hose away the winter cobwebs. It’s hard to remember from one summer to the next the bright flowered patterns of spring. And the garden... “Now what is that tiny plant? I can’t remember what I planted last summer. Oh well, I will feed It and water it and be surprised.” Yes, in spring our spirits are awash with excitement. The coats are back in the closet. We feel as light and free as the first birds on our feeder. Though spring comes every year, that first warm day, the birth of a new generation of baby bulbs... and baby birds; all of these seem surprisingly new. Maybe you have forgotten what It Is to feel light and free. Spring can enter your heart whatever the weather or season when you worship God and discover His strength and peace. “He leads me beside still waters.

WCDS Happenings By Gixny Leser Special to the Rappahannock News The month of May is an incredibly busy time by anyone s standards. Be it public school or private school, the month is filled with anticipation and dread. It s the culmination of a long school year, it s Prom, it s the AP Exams, it's realizing that soon you'll say goodbye... • Prep School students at Wakefield Country Day School turned out in force for Prom 2002 held at the romantic Marriott Ranch. Young ladies in long, wispy dresses and young men in suits or tuxedos strolled around the grounds, and as it grew dark, danced in the stately former home of the Marriott family. As always, the Ranch provided elegant food and scrumptious desserts, which only the chaperones ate. (Just kidding! The chaperones let the students near the buffet occasionally.) It was a wonderful evening, and the students had a great time. • Prep School students survived two weeks of AP exams, and now the entire school is engulfed in studying for end-of-year exams. School is over at WCDS May 31, with the Lower School Graduation later that night, and the Prep School Graduation on Sunday evening in the Lynn Senior Garden. With graduation looming, comes the realization that our seniors will be leaving us soon. How much they've meant to all of us! We often take for granted these funny, sweet young people, but events in the near past have taught us that we need to savor every moment. Casey Longyear, daughter of Walt and Susan Longyear, will be heading to Virginia Commonwealth University in the fall. She's worked incredi bly hard this last year, taking classes at both WCDS and Lord Fairfax Community College. Congratulations, Casey! Herbert Linge, who hails from Haiti and who has been boarding at our Trinity Manor, is headed to James Madison University. He leaves his sister, Krystel, with us, so well still have a little bit of him here. A charming gentleman, he’ll make a place for himself very quickly at JMU. Antonia Toth, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Anthony Toth of Front Royal, will be joining Virginia Tech in the fall. We will miss her great smile! Antonia has played lacrosse with the guys for the last couple of years, and she's become a legend on the field. Connor Hammelman, son of James and Linda Hammelman of Warrenton, will be joining Herbert at JMU. Connor has served as president of the Student Government, has been a driving force on many sports' teams, and is generally considered to be a loyal friend to all. We wish you well, Connor. Judson Hurlbert, son of Mary and Seth Hurlbert of Front Royal, is heading to Furman College, a goal he set for himself long ago. Active in community service, he has proved to be an outstanding student and a caring individual. Good luck! Radford College has accepted Thomas Marlar, son of Peggy Duggan of Front Royal and Daniel Marlar of Richmond. We will miss Thomas' quirky smile, his wild antics on the playing field (which made him such an important member of the team). Although frequently plagued by allergies, he has been a relentless on the field, and as such, provided inspiration to other, younger player. Radford will never be the same, Thomas!. And last but never the least, my buddy, Morgan Neil, daughter of Nicky and Thomas Neil. Morgan is splitting herself in two: Penn State or JMU? Either way, I shall miss her funny, bright conversations, and the way she always "saved the day" whenever I goofed. Always a step ahead of everyone else, Morgan will do well wherever she lands. Many thanks to all of the graduates for a great year! • Field Day dawned bright and amazingly hot last Friday, much to the chagrin of the students and teachers who participated. After weeks of chilly, warm, rainy, dry, then really chilly weather, Friday was a scorcher, as evidenced by the large number of sunburned noses and shoulders. However, Field Day must go on, so the games were played, and in the end, the Athenians won.

But I’ve had a heart condition for years, and recently I thought I was having heart failure. Fortunately, it turned out to be a vertebra in my back that was acting up, and it wasn’t serious. But I couldn’t have received better care than I did at Culpeper Regional. “I’ve been in that emergency room a number of times over the years. When you have four children and several grandchildren, it’s hard to avoid. Along the way I’ve watched this hospital grow, not just in size, but in the quality of care it gives. And in its personal care. I’ve seen different doctors, met different nurses, for different emergencies - but they all have one thing in common. They all cared about me as a person. They even remember who I am. If you ask me,' that’s what has always set Culpeper Regional apart.” “It’s comforting to come to the hospital and have someone know you. ” Culpeper Regional Hospital S9 Promoting haelth.

Reader remembers Sally * The following was submitted by a Rappahannock flews reader in memory and bonor of Mrs. Sally Keyser, our dear and beloved Sperryville correspondent, Who died on Friday, May 17. What will Sperryville do without Sally Keyser? Those who knew her knew one of a kind. Our hearts go out to her family and friends. I wasn't lucky enough to know her personally, but I sure knew her through her columns. Like many others in "greater Sperryville and beyond, throughout the county and beyond, every week I looked for Sally's column in the Rapp News, just as I used to look forward to John Trott, the Virginia Naturalist. ] There are others in our Community like Sally, elders who have wonderful stories to tell about the old days. I hope they are telling them, and I hope their grandchildren — and the rest of us — are listening! Sperryville is a historic place, in every respect. I know Main Street won't forget its heritage as it enters the 21st century with a bang. Sperryville Were all neighbors up here, and people like Sally Keyser are constant reminders of that. In other news: Addie Swindler, Brittani Dodson and Tiffany Wayland were guests of honor at an afternoon tea at Dulaney Hollow Bed and Breakfast near Etlan on Saturday hosted by Ms. Su Webb of Leesburg. Brittani was an overnight guest Friday of Tiffany and the girls were joined by Addie on Saturday. They are all third graders.

Grieving children may not show their feelings as openly as adults do. They may not withdraw and dwell on the person who died, but instead may throw themselves into activities. Often, families may think that the child "does not really understand" or has "gotten over" death. Neither is true. Children's minds protect them from that which is too powerful for them to handle. Children’s grieving periods are shortened because they cannot think through their thoughts and feelings like adults. Also, children have difficulty putting their feelings about grief into words. Instead, their behavior “speaks" for them. By observing this behavior, adults can gauge children's feelings about the loss. Children often understand death in different ways at different ages, and it is often hard to tell what they do understand. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue. Warrenton, we urge you to talk with your child about death and to use simple languages to help them understand what they can. If they are not spoken with, often children develop fearful misconceptions that are worse than the truth; here is where adults can help. Call us at 540-347-3431 to set up an appointment. “It takes a great man to make a good listener. ” - Sir Arthur Helps Surviving in addition to her husband, Ashby Harlow Jr., are two sons, David Harlow and Anthony Harlow, both of Shenandoah; three brothers.

Regional DARE Day successful Real Estate Directory . By Tara Slate Donaldson Times Community Staff Writer Approximately 1,500 people from around the region turned out Saturday, May 11 for the 2002 DARE Day celebration at the Prince William Fairgrounds. The festivities marked the first DARE event since 1999 and while organizers had hoped for thousands of students, parents and other participants, many said afterwards they w*ere thrilled with the turnout. "Well, very honestly, were very pleased at the number of folks, DARE students and families, who have come," said Manassas Police Sgt. Marc Woolverton, one of the event's main coordinators. "This is the first time for this particular event. This is a successor to the DARE Show that ran for eight years, so we did not know what to expect." The DARE Show was held once more after a fatal plane crash at the event in 1998. Scheduling problems then ended the annual event, Tyhich was based on an air show. But area law enforcement agencies proved May 11 that airplanes are not required to draw children and their parents. Burning cars, horse rides and helicopters seem to do the trick on their own. "Watching the dogs," said 4-year-old Evan King of Manassas, when asked to name his favorite thing about DARE Day. They were chasing the bad people to try and get them." The K-9 demonstration proved to be popular with tnany children. But kids who love animals weren't limited to the K-9s. ^ A petting zoo included a baby calf, water buffalo and camel and Park Police gave rides on stately chestnut horses. Emergency personnel also set vehicles on fire and used the jaws of life to cut apart cars. Then there was Burger King's Burger Bounce. "Jumping in the bouncy thing," was the high point of the day for 4-year-old David Lithvin of Reston. For others, it was the free snow cones, popcorn and cotton candy. The Mars candy company also gave away T,200 pound of free candy and Pepsi donated soft drinks. The event, displays, games, demonstrations and ;most of the food, were free.

The program also teaches students — fifth-graders in most school divisions — to make good decisions, resist peer pressure and avoid vioDARE Day 2002 was an end-of-year celebration for the DARE students, their families and the community. It was also a chance for kids to get to see positive role models at work. Officials said the event was a success and will return next year.
