Sperryville awaits Gateway results By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer A number of Sperryville residents and business owners used the public comments portion of Monday 's Board of Supervisors meeting to express their frustration over delays in implementation of Gateway project objectives. Cheri Woodard, owner of the Long View Gallery on Main Street, was the first to speak, and she read from a letter sent to Chairman Pete Estes, the other members of the Board of Supervisors, and Sperryville Gateway Committee Chair Tbm Junk by 27 signatories—representing virtually all of the businesses on Main Street and a number of the residents. The letter expressed concern that the project was bogged down and needed attention. She asked that the Board of Supervisors take charge, "reconstitute the Sperryville Gateway Committee" (there are three longstanding vacancies), and otherwise make certain that project objectives are implemented quickly. Ms. Woodard reminded the Board that the enabling grant of $200,000 from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) was received in June of 1999, and that the project priorities were to install a pedestrian bridge, improve drainage on Main Street, construct pedestrian walkways on Main Street, and make other improvements (including power line burial) as funds allowed. She voiced the group's concern about pedestrian safety, and suggested that the lack of proper walkways created the risk of a "tragedy waiting to happen." "We want to see," she rend, "some real work underway. . . .We look to you for leadership, and stand ready to get this stalled project jump-started." Jim Gannon, Bayard Catron, and Jackie Soaper spoke in support of project revitalization too, and the issue received responses from Chairman Estes and County Administrator John McCarthy. Mr. Estes said that "Sperryville is very near and dear to my heart," and he noted that he voted for the project and its pedestrian bridge component despite the likelihood that trash will be left near his home once the bridge is constructed. Mr. McCarthy explained that delays were caused by the involvement of several government agencies that require project oversight, as well as funding cutbacks that impacted VDOT's schedule for drainage improvements. He noted that $55,000 of the $220,000 grant had been expended— mostly on engineering and surveying— but that VDOT would contribute another $580,000 to the project in the form of drainage and right-of-way improvements on Main Street. He agreed with the need to fill vacancies on the Committee, and noted See SUPERVISORS, Page A4 Town Council defers “Country Inn” decision By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer At a May 29 Zoning ordinance work session, the Washington Town Council acceded to Town Attorney John Bennett’s wish that the request for expanded uses at the Middleton Inn be handled through an application process rather than through a direct change to the Town’s Zoning Ordinance. Mary Ann Kuhn came before the Council at their April meeting and asked that her Middleton Inn be permitted “to provide more services to the community,” including “catering events and weddings and providing hospitality services to the community and the public.” At that time, Mayor Willis agreed to discuss Ms. Kuhn’s request at a Zoning Ordinance work session scheduled for May 1, and at that May meeting the Council agreed to have Mr. Bennett further evaluate proposed changes to the ordinance that would permit the new uses. The result of Mr. Bennett’s evaluation though was his suggestion that “proposed text amendments” to the Zoning Ordinance be dealt with through an application, by Ms. Kuhn, to Town Zoning Administrator John McCarthy, and a public hearing on the issue at the Town Planning Commission’s June 24 meeting. The Council agreed, by consensus, to this process and, should an application be submitted in time by Ms. Kuhn, a public hearing will be advertised for the Planning Commission’s June meeting. The Council also agreed to make final changes to the new Zoning Ordinance and to pass it to the Planning Commission for a public hearing at their June 24 meeting. Accessory buildings and apartments At the work session, the Council also discussed Diane Bruce’s sugges/ tion that the issue of accessory buildings he revisited, and that the new Zoning Ordinance be strengthened to avoid contention in the future. Mayor Willis suggested that the ordinance be adjusted to require a kitchen and bathroom in any building labeled an accessory apartment, and that the reference to a separate building be eliminated and so require that accessory apartments are located only in the primary residence. Mr. Bennett also suggested that more specific definitions be developed for accessory buildings and accessory apartments. The Mayor will discuss such changes with Zoning Administrator McCarthy. Helicopter landings Town Treasurer Alice Butler brought up the issue of helicopter landings in the Town, and again suggested that the Town develop an ordinance to prohibit such landings. She See COUNCIL, Page A2 Principal’s i resignation f precipitated! by NY actioif By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer ». The recent and unexpected depart ture of Rappahannock County High School Principal Joseph Perine ha# drawn expressions of regret from" parents, staff and students. According to Tom Dunn, a press offi^ cial with the New York State Education Department, an April 2002 disciplinary proceeding result? ed in the revocation of Mr. Perine’s New York teacher and administrator certification. v Mr. Perine was given notice of the impending hearing by certified maity said Mr. Dunn, but chose not 4e appear to defend himself. i udina ti hV.

It was further noted that three of the four instances of sexual contact occurred on school premises, two of which were while school was in session.

Picnic with Ben Jones at Dietel’s Over Jordan Farm By Lisa Ramey i Special to the Rappahannock News • On Sunday, June 2, Ben Jones greeted a spirited crowd of friends, neighbors, and fellow Virginians while standing in front of a 200 year old log cabin covered with beautiful climbing roses and a patriotic “Jones for Congress” banner. •The background was most appropriate as Jones, surrounded by flag-waving and balloon-toting supporters, paid homage to America’s forefathers and delivered an impassioned speech formally announcing his candidacy for the 7th District Congressional race. The group cheered as Jones told supporters “A victory-in this race will be a victory for those of us who believe that a congressman should •represent his district in Washington, and not represent Washington’s thinking to the district.” Jones spoke of "his political record, as “one that is true to the core values of- the traditional Democratic Party, and one that is true to the common sense family values of my Virginia upbringing.” Jones approached the monumental issue of national security by saying “our country cannot be secure until the •people who fight the daily batiks for the heart and soul of ■America get our full support. They are the law enforcement officers who risk their lives on the streets everyday, and the fite and rescue workers who 'Show a willingness to sacrifice Everything for society’s safety. They are also the underpaid 'artd under appreciated nurses rfnd school teachers, and the Volunteers who are always willing to risk at a moment’s -notice in a crisis.

It was resolved that the Main Street Sperryville group would submit four names to the Board as nominees to fill Committee vacancies, and that the Board would make appointments at their July meeting. FY 2003 budget heard The Board held a public hearing on the advertised draft budget for Fiscal Year 2003, but the only public comment was from a non-resident teacher, Mark Matney who asked about funds for improved ath letic facilities. Mr. McCarthy explained that the advertised budget required a 2 cent real estate tax increase, but that a nonrecurring expense (for acquisition of real property) could lx> taken out of the budget by using surplus funds, the result of which would be the elimination of the real estate tax increase. That prospective acquisition, not yet approved bv the Board of Supervisors or by the Washington Town Council, is a portion of the Avon Hall property that is currently optioned by the Town of Washington. The FY 2003 draft budget includes $400,000 for that purchase, representing 40 percent of the $1,000,000 price on Avon Hall and its contents agreed to by the Town.

RNB The Board briefly discussed the Rappahannock National Banks (RNB) site plan in their "Commercial Centre. Mr. McCarthy stated that five corrections required by the Sewer and Water District had been made hi the site plan, and that a correction to the planting scheme that showed the use of native plants, as required by the County’s Comprehensive Plan, had been made as well. The Board unanimously approved the motion of Bryant Lee to okay the site plan. The Board also discussed a letter from RNB Executive Vice President and CEO Michael Leake in which he asked for the Board’s expression of support and initial funding for a Rappahannock County Chamber of Commerce. There were some comments made indicating that it was unlikely that the Board would approve any funding for such an organization. but they agreed, by consensus, to Supervisor Roger Welch’s suggestion to table the issue until additional information is obtained. Earlier, during the public comments portion of the meeting, Phil Irwin said that he did not think that Rappahannock County was ready for a Chamber of Commerce and that he floped it never would be.

SPORTS Rapp Soccer rapps up spring season By Nanette Hogan Special to the Rappahannock News , Rappahannock Youth Soccer league played its eighth and final game of the Spring season on Saturday, June 1. The league is hosting a picnic this Saturday at Lake Arrowhead Park for all league players, coaches and families. We hope to see all there! U-8 , Coach Hogan’s Blue Panthers finished the season off with two stand out games. Bpth played against friends and classmates. The Blue Panthers played as a cohesive unit to the delight of coaches and parents. Coach Hogan would like to keep each and every player next season, however, age restrictions would not permit that. In the final game of season, each member of the Blue Panthers scored! Talk about “balanced” play! U-10 The U-10 Terminators played against Culpeper 3 with a spectacular ending to a great season. Brian Shafran scored 2 goals, Gary White with 1 goal and Bennett Eastham had 2 goals. Other goal scorers for this game were Austin Burdick with 1 goal and Tim Pressler had his fjrst goal of the year! Coach Caporuscio states, “the team played with a strong defense and good teamwork.” Final score Rapp 7 Culpeper 0. Season record ends at 5-0-2. * Way to go Terminators! Team players want Coach “C" Back in the Fall! The Rapp Hurricanes, U10 girls, wrapped up their Season with a 6-0 w in against Madison. Sarah Hazel opened whe scoring with her first goal (Jf the season, shooting a powerful shot into goal. Morgan Flournoy scored twice, once <5n a beautiful assist from Isabelle Eastham off a penalty kick. Isabelle scored off a Oice assist from Joslyn Smith. • Marcella Wallace scored and was part of one of the Oest plays of the game. Marcella saved the ball as it was going out of bounds to the right of the goal. She crossed tbe ball to Kendra Settle, who was in perfect position at the Qther post. Kendra then volleyed the ball home for her first goal of the season. There were a number of wonderful pjays. Taylor Light made Iftme great stops look easy in goal. In the second half Sarah Wheatley looked like a pro in her first time as goalie. J! We had a picnic after the gpme with plenty of sandwiches and cake from team tnom, Amy Kretz. We all sjgned a special shirt for Meredith Reeve, who has been a great player for us but is relocating to New Jersey. We’ll miss her. The U-10 Culpeper AllStar team has asked us to scrimmage against them iliursday night to help them pfepare for an all-star tournafngnt they’re in. Their coach said the Hurricanes were one ofihe best teams they played kU season with both passing ajrd ball control. Most of the prls are also planning to take part in the Rapp Soccer Camp ljter in June. Ole’!! \ * The U-10 Dragons turned pp the heat Saturday night in the already-hot Comet Stadium, as they battled (Culpeper 5 to a 2-2 draw. IJvervone contributed, as the heat and the bigger field took a toll on the team’s stamina. The Dragons displayed their grit, though, and played their hearts out until the final <vyhistle. This has been a great Reason for Coach Racer’s team; they have done Happahannock proud! U-12 • ' The U-12 girls have played three games the past JtAvo weeks to wrap up their Reason. On Saturday, May 25, Jthe Purple People Eaters ^played in a friendly tournament in Madison. In the first Igame of the day, Rapp added jthree Culpeper girls to their •roster and took on a Combined iMadison squad. Both teams played well, putting together geveral scoring opportunities. . * Megan Wheatley had four Photo courtesy of Jim Humbles SOCCER'S OVER: The final game of the spring season ended on June 1. A picnic will be held on Saturday, June 8 for all players, coaches and their families.. saves as the first half goalie, while Emma Hathaway and Tiffany Jobson (one of the Culpeper girls) played strong defense. The second half saw Elena Kritten (another Culpeper girl) roam the goalie box, while Maia and Tiana Lucking, Stevie Ross, Stephanie Bridgeman and Laura Wheatley (borrowed from the U-14 Rapp team) patrolled the midfield. Neither team could put away a game winner and the first game ended in a nil-nil tie. The second game of the day featured a Rapp/Madison mixed team taking on a Culpeper squad. Culpeper dominated the first half of play. Rapp/Madison goalie Alicia Smith had seven saves, but the offensive minded Culpeper girls were able to get three into the net bv the time the first half whistle blew. In the second half, the Culpeper girls continued the offensive pressure, but the Rapp/Madison defense tightened. Keeper Megan Wheatley had nine saves, with Emma Hathaway and Alicia Smith defending in front. The second half was played to draw, but the final score was Culpeper 3, Rapp/Madison 0. In their final game of the spring season, the Purple People Eaters played at Orange Booster Park against a team that earlier this year handed Rapp their worst defeat of the season. With many of the girls still suffering from D.A.R.E. Day exhaustion, and having only 10 players available, the Rapp team struggled under the midday Orange sun (and skydivers). The Orange coach was nice enough to play 9 vs. 9 so that the Coach Dodd would have one sub to rest tired Purple People Eaters. Megan Wheatley handled goalie duties the first half and was bombarded with twentytwo shots. She had twenty saves, and had her hands on the other two, but couldn’t keep them out of the goal. The first half whistle blew with the Rapp girls hot and tired, but only down 2-0. Rapp goalie Alicia Smith had eight saves in the second half, but fortunately my dog ate the rest of the second half details, so I have nothing else to report; except that our girls played very hard this game, and all season. Many of the girls will move up to the U-14 age group next fall. We wish them all the best. The U-12 girls returning in the fall will be an experienced group (and hopefully a little bigger and stronger - start drinking your milk, girls), and we look forward to watching them. Thank you, girls and parents for a wonderful season. The U-P2 Red Menace team played an early 9 am match against Culpeper at Emerald Hill. All played with sharp skills, despite the head.The game ended in a tie 2 - 2. Go Red Menace and congratulations on a great season! U-14 Finally! The Rappahannock Rockets, aka U14 Hornets wreaked havoc with their coach’s heart yesterday. Starting off the game with complete 100 percent ball possession for the first ten minutes of what turned out to be a tight match. A great dis play of technically sound, unselfish passing of the ball to open teammates and to open space; textbook perfect. Coach thinks this game is gonna be a breeze, but — as the game progressed and players were substituted, the Rapp Rockets maintained game control, pushing for one shot opportunity after another. Juan Tisera found himself multiple times with the ball at the mouth of the goal, just Juan and the keeper — denied everytime, but great shots just the same. Chasidy McGlothlin also had two excellent shots on goal from aggressively pressuring the ball deep in the offensive end. Offensive pressure was constant throughout the match. The midfield, led by Tom Gillis completely dominated the transition zone. Quick pressure on the ball winning almost every 50-50 ball; minimizing quickly any offensive threat by Culpeper. The end result being the ball was moved right back onto the feet of offense. The midfield play resulted in numerous shots opportunities from midfield also. Tom G had 5 shots alone all warping to the left of the goal! magnetic south pole, I think). Codv Herrell, Angela Bigelow, and Anna Owens had huge games in the midfield, contributing solidly to the unselfish team focused play. One play in particular found Cody just inside the 18; almost at the center, a shot he makes with ease in practice; Cody fires and the ball just kept gaining altitude; High and wide. Defensively, the Keeper, Tom Pendelton only faced a handful of shots which he handled perfectly. This lack of work was largely due to the flawless play of Ry YVellemeyer. Ry chased down every serious threat byCulpeper, quickly pushing it to the outside or sending a slicing pass through the offense cleanly into the midfield. Ry received solid “teamhelp” from Josh Makela, Baillee Batchelor, Jeremy Riggleson, and even Rhonda Jackson out of the midfield. Now to the final outcome and the Coach’s heart. Late into the game with no score yet, the game tied at nil-nil. The Coach thought possibly Laura Wheatley, or Anna Owen or Chasidy McGlothlin would deliver on multiple scoring chances. As each shot was taken, the coach’s heart rose and fell in expectation. Finally — with minutes remaining. Carlos Flores individuallystepped up in front of a Culpeper clear, trapped the ball with his chest, dribbled through 2 defenders, and let go a shot angling to the left off his right foot — Coach’s Heart — The Culpeper Keeper leaped to his right — the ball brushed off his fingertips. Momentum lost the ball dropped to the ground, but not to be denied any longer it rolled into the net. Rapp U14 Team victorious! Thanks to all U14 Players for a great season and great soccer. See you in the fall! A note of thanks goes out to all players, coaches, referees, volunteers and parents. Without this support group, our league would not be as strong as it has been in years past. Go Rapp! This week in sports By Jon Smythe Athletic Director Spring sports finished up for everyone this past week except the varsity boy’s soccer team. The softball team was defeated in the regional semifinals and the track state championship was completed at the University of Virginia's track on Saturday, June 1. Only the boy’s soccer team has made it the state quarterfinals this year. That game will be over when this paper is read later this week. A win on Tuesday, June 4 and the boy’s will be off to Radford for the state semifinals and finals, to be played this weekend. Soccer The boy’s traveled to Central High School in Woodstock on Tuesday, May 28 to play the Shenandoah District’s number #1 seed. It was a late game as the Central girl's soccer team played the game before the boys. Bv the 8 p.m. start time, the cool evening air was sliding in, offering a glimpse of the fog that would blanket the field during the final moments of the game. Both teams were missing their leading scorers due to injuries. Junior Ralph Pace was still sidelined with a knee injury and fellow captain, senior Garner Smythe was hobbled with an ankle injury he sustained in the semifinal district game the Friday before. The result was predictable with neither team able to put anything away and the regulation game ended 0 to 0. The two five minute regular overtimes that followed were exciting, but again with no scoring. When the next two sudden-death overtimes ended without a score the stage was set for the high drama of the “PK shootout.” Rapp started and junior Michael Fairbrother scored first for the visiting Panthers. Junior Jeremy Graves stepped up and made a huge, driving stop of the first Central Falcon shot — score: Rapp 1, Central 0. Next up for RCHS, Smythe made his kick and then the Central player made his, keeping it close at 2 to 1. Senior Ben Price then scored for Rapp and the Central played missed his kick wide right. When sophomore David Letsen scored for the fourth straight Panther goal, the game was over and the Panthers were going to the Region “B” semifinals with a hard-played 1 to 0 victory. Next up was the Regional semifinals. The Rapp semifinal game was played at Altavista High School on Thursday, May 30. It looked like another zero to zero game that would have to be decided in overtime or possibly, during another “shootout.” But with four minutes left, Fairbrother lofted a long free kick in front, to the right of the goal mouth that Smythe went up and headed in for the game winner. That win propelled the Boy’s Varsity Soccer Team to the State Tournament — a place they have never gone before. But first they had to play one more regional game. The next night the boy’s team, now further decimated with injuries and playing without three starters, fell 4 to 1 to George Mason in the Region "B" finals. Although a loss, it only determined their seeding for the next round as they earned the high school’s first ever. Single “A” berth in the State Tournament. -- ■ 1 .J Photos courtesy of David Clanagan . SENIOR Gwen Johnson finishes up her softball career aspossibly the best catcher we’ll ever see. - SENIOR Phillip Thomas earns all-state honors in 800 meter run. They play Tuesday, June 4 at James River High school in Buchanan, Va. A loss there ends a great season, whereas a win, sends them to Radford for a State semifinal game on Friday, June 7. Softball It was billed as a clash of the Titans. Two District Champions, both with 20 and 1 records. On Thursday, May 30, the Lady Panthers hosted the Region “B” semifinal game against the visiting Lady Statesmen from Randolph-Henry High School. It was as tight a game as expected and everyone knew' that one run would probably determine the outcome. Last year, the Panthers traveled to Charlotte Courthouse and ousted the Statesmen from the Regional semifinal round by the score of 1 to 0. This time the shoe would be on the other foot. There were scoring opportunities bv both teams, few but they were there nevertheless. There were close calls by umpires — calls that could have gone either way. There were great plays and the tension that accompanies the “Big Game.” But in the end, RandolphHenry managed to score a run and that’s all that was necessary in this game. So 1 to 0, they returned the favor and defeated the Lady Panthers on their home field and ended their season. It was the only loss of the year at home for the Rapp Ladies, as they finished their season with a 20 and 2 overall record — the best ever recorded for an RCHS Varsitv Softball Team. They also garnered the trophies for regular season. Bull Run District Champions and District tournament Champions as well. It was quite a year for the “girls of summer.” It was not the Cinderella ending we had hoped for again, but the sunshine far outweighed the shadows this season and they will be back as contenders again next year. Track There were three track athletes that represented Rappahannock County High School in the State Meet on Saturday, June 1. Senior Phillip Thomas whose performance in the 800 meter run time of 2:00.14 minutes earned him 7th place honors and recognition as All-State in this event. Young freshman Mattie Nawrocki missed earning those same All-State honors but, performed extremely well in the hurdles and triple jump where she has established new school records this year. Then there was sophomore Ryisha Cook. Cook has been dominant all year in all her meets, but people wondered how she would do with the tougher competition of the State meet.

Though the objective of providing effective education to the County’s children is a goal shared by the members of both the Board of - Supervisors and the School Board, the perspectives of each are obviously disparate and a joint goals and funding development process could do much to ease the late budget cycle contention that seems to attack officials and citizens of Rappahannock County each spring. It is quite logical that School Board members, by and large, are focused first upon providing an excellent educational opportunity to County students and secondly on the financial impact to County taxpayers, and that the Board of Supervisors, generally speaking, have their feyes a little more on those tax implications. - That is how it should be, but the existing process has often left the Supervisors with too little under' standing of how the requested funds are to be used, and the School Board members in shock at cuts made. A joint process of goals and budget development .should do much to eliminate both unrealistic budgets and unwarranted cuts and, perhaps, breathe a little more fresh air into the Rappahannock springtime.

COMPILED BY BARBARA C. WAYLAND Letters Trustworthy According to one rumor the School Board is under suspicion of conspiracy and political dealing. Many citizens of Jackson District know me, and 1 vouch for the character and objectivity of the board members with whom I serve. The acceptance of Joe Perine’s resignation was regretful and unanimous. As citizens, you need to be able to trust that your School Board has made a decision in the best interest of our children. Is it public business? The laws of the Commonwealth say the details are not. I plead with you not to be a conduit of destructive rumors, to trust your School Board, and let’s get on with the business of education in the county. Wesley Mills Rappahannock County School BodrtJ Jackson District Representative Thanks expressed Gn behalf of the RCHS Class of 2002 and their parents, we would like to thank these businesses and individuals for their generosity and help in making the Senior Banquet a great success: Long Mountain Nursery, Rosa Crocker, Mary Arthur and the culinary art students, Steve and Victoria Miller, Early’s Carpet, Jan Makela, RCHS art students, and Richard Herman. Lorinda Bosch, RCHS Senior Banquet Committee Gateway concerns (Editor's Note: The following letter was delivered to the Board of Supervisors at their meeting this week, addressed to Charles K. Estes, chairman.) Dear Mr. Estes, As your neighbors and friends, we are writing to you out of concern that the Sperryville Gateway Project, which began amid high hopes more than three years ago, has been bogged down amid delay and inaction for too long. As you know, the Board of Supervisors voted in January of 1999 to support a citizengenerated proposal for a Federal Transportation Enhancement grant for improvements to the Main Street historic district. In June of 1999, fully three years ago now, the Virginia Department of Transportation awarded a grant of more than $200,000 to the Sperryville Gateway Project. Among other things, the project envisioned: 1) building a new pedestrian bridge over the Thornton River linking Main Street with the business area occupied by Faith Mountain Company; 2) improving drainage on floodprone Main Street; 3) creation of safe pedestrian walkways where none exist now on busy Main Street; 4) other enhancements, including burying utility lines, landscaping, street lighting, signs, etc., if funds permit. Though the county has had access to the $200,000 grant for three years, little has been accomplished. The county hired the Frank Cox Company, an engineering firm, to oversee the project in May 2000. What has Cox accomplished in two years? Our recent discovery that more than $60,000 of the grant has already been spent, with no visible result, only increases our concern. Building the footbridge, to replace one removed some four years ago, was to be the first priority. Even though the money has been available for three years, and the engineering firm on the job for two years, construction on the bridge has not vet begun. At a Board of Supervisors meeting last year, County Administrator John McCarthy predicted that the bridge would be completed by May 1 this year. But the bridge remains unbuilt, and only this month has the county finally advertised for contractor bids, which means perhaps many months more of delay before actual construction is done. Storm drainage remains a serious problem for residents on Main Street, as it has for the past three years, but work on a solution has yet to begin. Pedestrians remain at risk in Sperryville. It is dangerous to walk across the highway bridge between Faith Mountain Company and Main Street, but there is no other way to cross the river. The many tourists and visitors to Main Street, as well as local residents including children, continue to walk amid the traffic, as no walkways are available. There is a tragedy waiting to happen here. If we were confident that these problems would soon be solved, we would remain patient. We have been patient for three years, but the delay and inaction are causing frustration and impatience. We appeal to you to personally take charge of reinvigorating the Sperryville Gateway Project, and we offer our help in any way that would be useful. We ask that you begin by reconstituting the Sperryville Gateway Committee, which has been inactive. Three of its original five members have moved away or resigned, but these long-standing vacancies have not been filled. The committee has held no public meetings so far this year. The Cox company has not been asked to report to the community on the status of the project and the reasons for inaction. There has been no public accounting of how $60,000plus has already been spent, and for what. We think that three years was more than adequate time to complete this modest Gateway Project, but it has not really begun, except for seemingly endless applications, filings, approvals, certifications and discussions. We want to see some real work underway—bridge-building, street-digging, earth-moving. We look to you for leadership, and stand ready to help get this stalled project jump- ,, ' started. :-J •2 • Elizabeth Lee-Ha£fi£ Bayard L. Catron Thomas J.

Reader suggests clean-up day at the County Park Recently, I had an opportunity to visit the Rappahannock Park outside of Washington. The center appeared as it does always: marked with graffiti and disrepair. Though the center does have nice basketball and tennis courts and a new skateboard arena, the pavilions and the children’s play area remain spoiled and decrepit. This disheartened me. The pavilions and children’s areas provide the best services of the center. They theoretically should look nice and clean. However, this is not so. The pavilions appear dirty. The public grills seemed unsanitary and the bathrooms scream of untidiness. The children’s play area also looked dirty. Litter occupied cracks in the large playhouse and the other installments for children all over the part. Worst of all, graffiti covered the areas most often used by children. Do the people of Rappahannock want their children in a place like this? There are many ways we could solve these problems. First, we could use taxpayer money to refurbish the park. However, this would deprive other programs of necessary funds, a move that would cause harm. We could also fix the problem by asking for dona tions for the park. This would work, but it would take awhile to compete. In addition, it would need to be spearheaded by a committee or a group of volunteers. This would cause unneeded bureaucracy. I propose that we pick a day over the summer where people could come out and volunteer to clean up the park. Everybody would clean the pavilions or help repair the children’s area. Each person could also bring spare tools and supplies. If one person brings paint, another person brushes, another cleaning solution, then we could clean up and fix the Park in a cheap and efficient way.

The Rappahannock County Education Association 88 active members serving the Rappahannock County Public Schools Margaret Lee, President Amy Saxton, VicePresident Karen Williams, Treasurer Patti Hottinger, Secretary Open letter to the Supervisors Editor’s Note: The following is a letter to the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors addressed to Mr. Charles K. Estes, Chairman. It is with a considerable amount of trepidation and frustration that I write this letter. By way of explanation, I want to share with you my feelings about the way our Budget Request for Fiscal Year 2003 beginning July 1, 2002 was handled by the Board of Supervisors. Trepidation, because I fear that this letter might very well 'be misunderstood or interpreted to be inappropriate or unduly critical, and frustration because after having spoken to each of your members, I had the distinct impression that this budget with its modest increases and considerable fiscal restraint, did no appear to pose any problems and was truly representative of what the School Board, (not the Superintendent) had determined after many hours of meetings and discussions to be the minimum level of funding necessary to provide a balanced educational program to meet the needs of all of our children in the Rappahannock Public Schools. It was, and still is, my view that this year the Superintendent took some real instructions from the School Board concerning the level of requests to be presented for our consideration that would be consistent with the austere financial situation that the entire Commonwealth faces at this juncture. I confess that although, I personally, am not completely convinced that the superintendent did all that could have been done in certain areas, there is strong indications that new efforts were made this year. However, by the time we finished with the Superintendent’s submission, See LETTER, Page A8 0% for 5 Years on all Saturns* SATLRN $199 down $199 month lease * Excludes the VUE S-Series, sport & spring special editions.

You are, of course, aware that early on in this budget cycle we got an “early warning” from the Commonwealth that all agencies of State Government could expect a reduction in allocations of at least three percent. So when our planning started we did not know what the reduction would be so we kept the three percent in mind as we moved forward. You know by now, how ever, that the reduction from state was a whopping 7.25 percent. At some place along the line, we were faced with the possibility that our request for county funds would have to be considerably more than we felt could be consciously supported, or that we would not lie able to fund some of the vital programs and improvements to support the goals we had set for our schools this year. The thing that saved the day for us so-to-speak. was, we got an increase of 18.01 percent in Federal funds. This in itself was ironic since it has not been all that many years ago when the most strident political discussion was on whether to provide any federal funds for local education in this country. What is really ironic is that we submitted a Budget Request to the Board of Supervisors with an overall increase over the current year of 2.47 percent with the following other increases: State funds — 7.25 percent Federal funds — 18.01 percent Other funds — 7.08 percent Imported cars aren’t foreign to us.

I,* As for the “three- column” presentation, I must say that - since this was an effort of my-, initiation, I was most embar-' rassed to hear members of the Board of Supervisors lambaste the superintendent over this, particularly since he had been told by our Board, and I had , reported to you at the School -; Board Budget Hearing, that w-e would accept that single page this year, but with the new -, accounting system proposed ‘toi.; be implemented in FY 2003,;we would certainly expect that the! “three- column” presentation to be made to us for the next budget cycle and we would subse- ! quently make our submission * to you. I note with some interest that your budget does not J contain the “Past Year Actual” [ column! Another item that this Board has been working on since I have been a member, is the proposition that new' hires by our School Division ought to be subject to salary negotiations in line with responsibility, rather than be placed on some ; arbitrary scale based on years < of service. Now as to the reduction of • $176,232 by the Board of Sup-, ervisors from the Budget Sub- 1 mission of the School Board at; its May 7 meeting, I find this ti be extraordinarily disconcerting, and inconsistent with the ; efforts of the current School • .. Board to bring some fiscal and management responsibility to. the operation of our school system. We have essentially a new School Board which has shaker down after the second round of the “elected school board” and I think we are on the road to better things, but we certainly need your help. E.

Bruce Sloane publishes new book, f signing and reading set for June 14 “Many of West Virginia’s most scenic and historical places are just a few hours’ drive from Rappahannock County,” said Bruce Sloane, author of the recently published book, “Scenic Driving West Virginia.” Sloane, who lives in Sperryville, will talk about his book and show slides at a signing and reading at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 14, at the Old Sperryville Bookshop on Main Street. The book complements Sloane’s earlier book, “Scenic Driving Virginia,” which covers numerous drives in the Old Dominion state, and may be familiar to Rappahannock residents. Both books are published by Globe Pequot/Falcon Press. “Scenic Driving West Virginia” describes twenty-four drives the length and breadth of the Mountain State. Some are wilderness drives, such as the two drives up the Allegheny Front: one to Spruce Peak, West Virginia’s highest point, and another to the high plateau at Dolly Sods. “Both of these spots are part of the Monongahela National Forest, and just a few hours drive from Rappahannock County” said Sloane. “On clear days from either one you can look eastward 40 miles or so to Virginia’s Blue Ridge and Shenandoah National Park.” Another nearby drive is through the historic eastern panhandle of West Virginia, including Harpers Ferry National Historic Park. Harpers Ferry is best known for John Brown’s failed raids to free the slaves, which led to West Virginia’s succession from Virginia and helped to ignite the Civil War. The drive passes through Shepherdstown where you can see a replica of the world’s first steamboat. It was built here and tested in the nearby Potomac River in 1787, some 20 years before Robert Fulton’s more famous model. “Joy and I both had a lot of fun doing this book,” said Sloane. “I couldn’t have done it without her help. She drafted the maps. She also did most of the driving so I could look at the scenery, plan the route, and get ready for the next stop.” Other drives cover the entire state. One takes you to the bottom of the New River Gorge. It then climbs out of the canyon, and later crosses it on the New River Bridge almost a thousand feet above the river, shown on the cover of the book. Other drives pass by several of West Virginia’s tourist railroads, tour Hatfield and McCoy country, and visit the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge along the western border of the state. Many littleknown West Virginia features are described, such as the Prabhupada Palace of Gold, the mummies of Philippi, several tourist caves, the Scenic Driving West Virginia world s largest teapot, exquisite quilting exhibits, ancient Indian mounds, rustic farms, springs and spas, high-tech coal mines, and more. Comprehensive route descrip tions and travel information, detailed maps, and numerous photographs are part of each drive description. Both books will be- Available for signing and purchase at a price of $14.95 each. If you can’t make it on June 14, you can order either one by calling 987-8444 or by sending e-mail orders to bookchurch@earthlink.com. ‘Tti The Bedroom,” an unconventional thriller By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News “In the Bedroom” deals with issues that are rarely approached with this degree of sensitivity on film. It is a profound family drama (based on a story by Andre Dubus) about grief and wages of violence. Director Todd Field’s intense, superbly acted film brought nominations for Best Film and garnered the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Drama for Sissy Spacek at the Golden Globes. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community brings this film to The Theatre on Gay Street, Washington, Va., Friday, June 7, at 8 p.m. Ruth Fowler (Sissy Spacek), who lives in a small town in Maine with her husband, Matt (Tom Wilkinson), disapproves of her son’s latest relationship. Frank (Nick Stahl), a 2} year-old university student, is back for th^ summer, working part time as a lobsterman and going out with the older Natalie (Marisa Tomei). Natalie, a working-class single mother with two kids, is separated from an angry, physically abusive ex (William Mapother, cousin of Tom Cruise) who can’t seem to keep away. Ruth’s instincts are on the money, it turns out. A terrible series of events leaves Frank murdered and his killer getting off with a manslaughter charge. Matt and Ruth face a lifetime of bitterness and unresolved rage. Matt, an extremely amiable mart, is a well-to-do doctor. Ruth, who’s made of sterner stuff, is a music teacher at the local high school. They’re respectable citizens who have exhausted their legal options. Like the stoics they think they ought to be, they attempt to move beyond this trauma. Ruth’s anger toward her husband, whom sh blames indirectly for everything, reaches a toxic intensity. And the killer, out on bail, remains in the area. Revenge seems to be the only possible relief. Matt, whose control of his emotions is his surest strength, realizes his psychological ceiling is caving in. ^ While the story and direction are powerful, it’s the acting that takes “In the Bedroom” higher. Wilkinson imbues Matt with a quiet dignity, a deep wellspring of grief, and a simmering fury. Sissy Spacek presents Ruth as a volcano that lies dormant for a while before erupting. Nick Stahl brings depth ana strength to a character that Could have turned into a one-dimensional k type. Marisa Tomei impresses in yet another supporting role. “In Vrtk the Bedroom” is the kind of motion picture almost impossible to forget. It has an impact that stays with the viewer long alter the theater has been vacated. The film, ratqji R, contains obscenity, vitrlence and sexual situations. It runs 131 minutes. r Conner Miller earns All American status at National Middle School Wrestling Championships By Hodge Miller Special to the Rappahannock News Conner, Miller, a 10 year old, * fourth grade student at .K^ppA- , hannock Elementary School, finished fifth at the National Open Wrestling Championships held in Norfolk’s Scope Arena, May 17-19 in the 5th & 6th Grade 70 pound division. Conner started wrestling for the Culpeper Cobras Wrestling team when he was five years old. Since that time, he has traveled the east coast and the DC Metro area with his Cobra teammates searching for top-level competition. It was an accident that Conner even got into wrestling. Conner went with his uncle, Brooke Miller, to sign up for recleague basketball in Culpeper. The people at the basketball table told them, he was too young to play. Conner was devastated. Fortunately, the people at the wrestling table, right next door, overheard the conversation and called him over. They told Conner that he was old enough for wrestling and signed him up. mmKm'-mrmmt, mmz* mm Photo courtesy of Hodge Miller CHAMPION: Conner Miller, seventh child from the left, finished fifth at the championship held in Norfolk in May. Conner was apprehensive at first because no one in his family had ever wrestled before. He experienced early success and it has been a joy ride for him ever since. The Middle School National Open Wrestling Championships drew teams from California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia and competed for All American honors. The top eight place winners in each division earned this elite status. Earlier this year Conner wort the Virginia Middle School State Championship in the fifth amt sixth Grade 70 pound divisioSl Conner was the youngest wrestlfij} in his division, but this did not cuJJJ his drive or determination to wrejg tie for a top eight placing. Conn** finished the tournament with a 322 record with loses to the 1st, 3i® and 4th place wrestlers. JJJ Conner was extremely proijjj and excited to represent Tea** Virginia in a National tournameS and be named All American. He h88 set his sights on finishing higher at next year’s tournament. 1 The extra year of growth and maturity will serve him well as au of the top finishes were sixtK graders that wrestle on Middle School teams around the country Conner said, “I have two more’ years in this division and I am going to work to improve on my placing this year.

This tradition goes baek to "wakes," where family and friends viewed the body between death and burial. Historieally, this took plaee at the home of the deceased. Today, this is often done at the funeral home, one or two days before the funeral. This viewing can be less formal than the funeral and provides family and friends with an opportunity to reminisce about the deceased loved one. To personalize the view ing, we encourage playing music that was meaningful to the deceased. In addition, photos and photo albums may be prominently displayed, along w ith any items that held special significance for the deceased. Whatever feels "right” for your family is what you can choose. At the MOSKR FUNERAL HOME, we offer a variety of plans and services for you to choose from, and we're happy to personalize them for you so they meet your particular needs. We re at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton. Call 540-347-3431 "/ shall nol altogether ilie.

So I’ve lived with this my whole life - it’s normal to me. The worst part is that I have to have surgery from time to time as I grow. But Dr. Allen used this new procedure, and this time, instead of every two years, 1 waited four years between operations. That might not sound like much, but to me it's huge! I can swim, ski, and play baseball and soccer. I can do just about anything any other 11-year-old can do. “My mom says the nurses at the hospital spoil me rotten. And I’m so glad we found Dr. Allen. He really understands what I’m going through.” “I wish I could wear heelsbutyou don't need them in soccer." Culpeper Regional Hospital S3 Promoting health.
