A storm passed through the area before the Thursday evening event, however it didn't dampen the spirits of parade watchers. The Sperryville Methodist Church entered a float for the first time and won a first place trophy for it’s entry. An antique 1957 Massey Ferguson tractor pulled the float. It was reported that this same tractor pulled a float in the Sperryville parade in 1958. Bottom left photo: Ashleigh Pullen of Washington won the grand prize on Saturday evening of $500 cash and bottom right, Brianna Settle enjoyed the rides at the carnival. Robbery, animal shooting, theft reported It has not been a good week for cows in Rappahannock. Early on the morning of June 8, there was an attempted armed robbery of the Epicurious Cow (ECOW), a specialty grocery store and deli located at the intersection of U. S. 211 and Route 729 (Richmond Road.) According to the report filed by the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office, a female employee of ECOW was working in the store at about 6:50 a.m. when an unidentified woman entered the premises. The woman approached the employee, and displaying a box-cutting knife, grabbed her, demanding money. The employee told her assailant that she had no money, and a struggle ensued. “Physically, they were about an even match, except for the knife,” noted Sheriff Larry Sherertz. During the pushing and shoving, the employee received a laceration on her hand. A bull, a cow, and a pickup truck “Realizing that she wouldn’t get any money, the woman broke off the fight and left the store,” said Sheriff Sherertz. “The employee followed her outside, and saw her run up Richmond Road, in the direction of Castleton.” The Sheriff's Office and Washington Rescue Squad were called to the scene. EMTs cleaned the wound on the employee’s hand, and transported her to Fauquier Hospital for treatment. A tracking dog team was called in, and the tracker followed a scent about 200 yards south on Richmond Road, where the trail ended. This has led law enforcement officers to believe that the perpetrator had a getaway vehicle parked there. The assailant is described as being 28-32 years of age, having blonde hair and weighing about 140 lbs. She was wearing a black T-shirt, tan shorts, a black baseball cap, and sunglasses. Her hair was tucked under her hat. The employee has since returned to work. Cow is shot On the afternoon of June 5, the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office and County Animal Control received a call from a resident living outside of Washington that one of his cows had been shot. The cow, which had recently given birth to two calves, was in a bam w hen it was killed. The owner stated that the shooting must have occurred between 9 p.m. on June 4 and the morning of June 5. Examination revealed that the cow, weighing about 1,300 lbs. and valued at $500, had been killed by a gunshot between the eyes. The calves were not harmed. Sgt. Connie Compton is investigating the incident. Fencing stolen Three 50-foot rolls of chain link fence were reported stolen from the site of a house under construction in the 12500 block of Lee Highway, near Rappahannock County High School, according to Sheriff Sherertz. The fencing was taken between May 27 and June 8, probably during the night. It is valued at $450-$600. “It has been reported that a light blue pickup truck was seen on the property late one night, with a person or persons loading something into it,” said Sheriff Sherertz. “This is a felony case, and if anyone has any information, please call the Sheriff’s Office at (540) 675-5300.” Dr. D.M. t By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer Superintendent of Schools Dr.; David Gangel cast aside his; inscrutability at Tuesday night’s School Board meeting, and delivered an emotional reading of his letter of resignation. “I feel sad, satisfied,; blessed, and hopeful,” he said, and he explained that he has accomplished all that he had set out to do in Rappahannock County and would move on “to a new challenge in a larger school system.” He attributed his sadness at his impending departure to the fact that he “will not be working with the people that I have come to know and respect” and that he will not “routinely have the beauty of the Blue Ridge as a constant background.” Dr. Gangel expressed satisfaction that he has accomplished the professional and personal goals that he established upon coming to Rappahannock in 1987-to “make a substantial contribution” and to raise his children “in one school system so they could consider one community as their childhood home.” 1 have been blessed beyond measure,” he said, “to have served along side so many fine people for so very long.” Dr. Gangel earlier said that when foe came to the County in 1987 he found a real opportunity in Rappahannock County to make a significant impact and thus remained at the schools’ helm for fifteen years. He pointed out that his preRappahannock employment entailed only one-to-three year engagements because he did not have such opportunities in other school systems. He cited some ot the accomplishments made here “with the help of staff and community, the School Board and the Board of Supervisors”: teacher salaries rising from near the bottom to “mid-range” in the State; the addition of many new programs; the improvement of facilities; and approaching high standards. Dt. Gangel added that preliminary results just received indicate that high school SOL scores were high enough this year to warrant full accreditation. Dr. Gangel will accept the position of Superintendent of Schools in Amelia County, effective July 1 of this year. He said however, that he will retain his family-built home in Rappahannock County so that he and Mrs. Gangel can visit their children, grandchildren and friends on weekends.

The -^lag retirement will be conducted Flag Day, Friday, June - 14 at 5 p.m. and will be held at the Amissville Post Office. Included in the all student volunteer performed ceremony will be: introductions of ceremony participants, review of flag etiquette, an explanation of ceremony procedure, a volunteer-led Pledge of Allegiance, a Cotillion volunteer color guard in Marine Junior R.O.T.C. uniform, student vocalist and musicians performing Taps, The Star Spangled Banner, and military style drum accompaniment, volunteer performed correct flag folding and burning, and lastly presentation of a new flag that has been flown over the U. S. Capitol. Assistants are cnosen from Cotillion graduates who demonstrate excellence by maintaining honor roll status at their school, committing to community service and leadership roles in their schools, churches and social organizations. Viewtown Director Gail Turnbull says, “We are so proud of our outstanding group of young people who assist in the ongoing program. Not only are student assistants a vital part of our Cotillion, but they are outstanding examples in our community of teenagers who „pursue leadership, academic excellence, and refinement of person conduct and character. The ceremony will take about 30 minutes from start to conclusion. It is significant that the ceremony will involve two organizations whose members have proven themselves valorous after September 11th: firefighters/EMTs, and postal service workers. Because of patriotism after the attack, more citizens in our area have become flag owners/displayers. Our volunteers will be proud to share with our community how to care for, display, and importantly, dispose of Old Glory.” The Cotillion invites the community to be present to observe a very noble patriotic ceremony. “State, county and civic representatives and leaders, community-service organizations, elementary schools, U. S. veterans’ organizations, and churches have our invitation to witness a grand and traditional formal ceremony, fitting, proper and appropriate for a new era” says Mrs. Turnbull.

This week in sports By Jon Smythe Athletic Director The end of spring sports for Rappahannock County High School teams came far away at a small school nestled in the foothills of the James River Gap. The hoy’s varsity soccer team was the last RCHS team standing at the end of spring regional competition. As the number two seed in Region “B”, the Panther’s traveled to Buchanan, Va. to play a state quarterfinal game with James River High School. The season ended as it began with the Panther’s struggling to find ways to score. This time their efforts were hampered by the inevitable injuries that plague all soccer teams. Unable to start their key scoring threat, junior Ralph Pace, the Rapp side also had to contend with several other players effected by minor knee and ankle injuries. The result was a gutsy performance by the Panthers that fell short against a hustling James River team. The hosting team wanted badly to win at home and go on to the semifinals in Radford at the end of the week. In the end the James River boys got their wish and won the contest 2 to 1. The outcome was definitely the result of the superb play in goal by the James River keeper. Time and again he ended a quality scoring chance by the Rapp team with a terrific save. Junior Michael Fairbrother managed to score and tie the game midway through the second half. Pace, who has been out with a knee injury, came in during the second half to try and lift the struggling Bruce Sloane to sign new book "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 read ing at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 14, at the Old Sperryville Bookshop on Main Street. The book will be available for signing and purchase at a price of $14.95. If you can't make it on June 14, you can order by calling 987-8444 or by sending e-mail orders to bookchurch® earthlink.com. * JENKINS £ u L L Y I N S u R E D Excavating • Landscaping Home Improvements • Tree Service No job too BIG or too small because we do them ALL Quality Work SATISFACTION GUARANTEE TO ALL CUSTOMERS 540-987-9048 B 0 N D E D L 1 C E N S E D 0% for 5 Years on all Saturns* 0% Financing for 60 Months M.S.R.P/ $17,495 ' on a 2002 Saturn L100 Special Edition Sports Sedan Standard features include: • Automatic transmission • Cruise control • Air conditioning with dust and pollen filtration system • Eight-speaker CD Player • Head Curtain Air Bags* • Anti-lock Braking System with Traction Controj • Dent-resistant front fenders and door panels • Alloy wheels • Rear spoiler ‘Head Curtain Air Bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head and neck injuries to front and rear seat occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions. .Always use safety belts and proper child restraints.

The Panthers out shot the Knights from James River, but the score remained 2 to 1 when time expired. It was a disappointing loss for the Rapp Team who hung on to the dream that they could find a way to get to Radford. Nevertheless, their state quarterfinal performance put them on the board as the Rappahannock County High School team that has gone the farthest in post-season soccer play. Congratulations to the players, and first year coaches Shay Bell and Nathan Moon. Although the sport isn’t supported by Rapp cheerleaders, if it were, the often heard refrain, “We are Proud of You” would certainly describe our view of the boy's effort this year.

To the seniors: we extend best wishes for much happiness and success as you travel the path of life, whether you continue your education or enter the work world. Good luck! Letters to the editor The RappahannocK Nows welcomes Letters to the Editor from its readers as a forum for discussion of local public affairs subjects. WRITE: Letters to the Editor, P.O. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747 EMAIL: bwayland@timespapers.com Rappahannock Today Rappahannock News Photo/Barbara C. Wayland FASHION MODELS: Members of the Rappahannock 4-H Sewing Class under the direction of Mrs. Barbara Wheatley modeled the skirts they made during the past year. The event was held on May 29 at the Rappahannock Extension Office. Letters Neighbors helping neighbors—it’s the Rappahannock way place at our little farm, Greenach, up on the south slope of Oventop Mountain above Sperryville. What this event seemed to symbolize to us is the refreshing warm spirit of caring for our neighbors that is evident everywhere in Rappahannock County and that is effecting particularly those of us who have moved here from the city! It is especially true in our churches such as Trinity Church in Washington, where the Rev. Jennings Hobson is rector. What happened that has triggered this letter of deep thanks: On this particular Saturday morning, thirty-three members of Trinity, men, women and children arrived in cars and trucks bringing with them selected lumber, every kind of tool, delicious picnic food and drinks plus unbounded enthusiasm indicated in remarks they made to the Herndons “we are here to do all of the things that you usually have to do in the spring. We recognize that you are physically impaired at this time so we are here to help.” So, they went immediately to work. The intense activity was carried out in a highly organized manner lasting fron 9 in the morning to 5:30 in the evening. While they were building a handsome 30 foot long physically handicapped entrance to our back door, others cut our grass (and weeds), pruned our shrubs and trees, repaired our fences, raked our leaves, wpshed our windows and lovingly groomed one member of our immediate family, our deal dog, Penny, our Golden Retriever. And she obviously loved every minute of the process. It was a delightful and memorable day for us as a Campaign kickoff will long be remembered You know, there are occasions in one’s life when we know instinctively that we are involved in a moment which will forever remain a very pleasant memory, the kind that will bring smiles for the rest of our lives. And for as long as I live, Alma and I will always get a kick out of thinking about our campaign kickoff in Rappahannock County on June 2. , A perfect day, wonderful music, great food, and timeless friendship all came together in a red, white and blue evening. While the Good Lord provided the weather, the rest of it was due to the very hard work of our friends and neighbors here in the best place to live in America. Eternal thanks to Bill and Linda Dietel, to Meredith Gorfein and “Cooter’s Rooters”, and to all of those who contributed to our old fashioned grassroots effort. Y’all are true blue!

Letters Relay From page A8 research, patient services and health education. Our community was represented by over 20 teams, each consisting of 8 to 15 people. The team members raised money before the event and came together Friday evening to begin an all night walk to honor survivors and remember those lost to cancer. The teams, cancer survivors, family members, and community supporters all joined in the festivities. It was one night that we all came together as a community, but it took many nights of hard work and planning for our chairman of the etfent, Ben Atkins to make this event what it was on that Friday evening. Mr. Atkins does not take his responsibilities lightly. He is extremely focused and determined that the Relay be a success year after year. He spends his evenings (after getting home from work) putting together team captains’ packets, working with behind the scenes activities. And then there is Becky Atkins, Ben’s w’ife. She is standing strong beside him all along the way. Together they work as a team pouring their hearts and souls into this event. On behalf of the American Cancer Society and the Rappahannock Unit’s Board of Directors we want to take the time to let them know how much their hard work, dedication and generosity means to Rappahannock County. Ben and Becky, we thank you for all that you do year after year! Great job! Ester Settle, President Rappahannock Unit American Cancer Society Old Rag parking proposal should be reconsidered It is only now that I have had a chance to read the article in the May 8 issue regarding the Old Rag parking proposal presented by representatives of the Shenandoah National Phrk to the Board of Supervisors. I own a house at the foot of Old Rag. . To begin with, the proposed new eight acre parking lot and “contact station” (whatever that means) is located entirely in Madison County. I am therefore puzzled as to why the opinion of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors was even requested by the Park Service. Second, the statement that “the existing 250 car leased parking lot on Route 600 was likely to be lost within the next month or two” is incorrect. The existing Old Rag lot has been in its present location for more than 25 years, and the owners have expressed no interest in terminating the lease. On the contrary, a representative of the owners has told me that their interest is to maintain the lease in effect, and that they are even prepared to discuss a longer term leaise if the Park wishes to do so. The Park, however, has made no proposal to this effect. ' Third, the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (which under the proposal would buy the land and lease it to the Park) is seeking to buy riot eight acres, but 25 acres. The 17 acres in excess of the eight acre lot referred to in your article is said to be for a “trail corridor” several hundred feet wide. The Park has offered no explanation as to why it needs this “corridor” rather than a simple trail through the woods. There is nothing which precludes the Park from using this “corridor” for such other purposes as it sees fit, once it has acquired the 25 acres in question. Fourth, there has also been no explanation of why the Park needs eight acres of land to accommodate 250 cars on its proposed new lot, when the present lot, which holds the same number of cars, is only 2.2 acres. Fifth, according to the article the Park representatives stated that the new location “would result in less traffic impact on Old Rag area residents.” I am at a loss to understand this statement. The new location would cause the numerous cars which now go no farther than the existing lot to continue on up Route 600 to the entrance to the proposed new lot, passing some 10 additional houses along the way. How this results in “less traffic impact” is beyond me. 1 here are numerous other factors relating to the desirability and legality of the proposed lot, but since they are not mentioned in your article, I will not address them here. Your article does say that the Board passed a resolution supporting the Project “with little discussion.” I have written to the Board suggesting that since the project is located entirely in Madison County, the matter should be reconsidered, and the resolution canceled. Alternatively, the matter should be reopened, and given a full hearing. Peter A- Hombostel Washington, D.C. Relay for Life — a great success Congratulations Rappahannock! You did it again! The 2002 Rappahannock County Relay for Life was a great success again this year despite the rainy weather that we had. The total figure so far is over $56,000 and still climbing. The Relay is truly an inspiration to me and so many wonderful people in our community. Not only does it raise money for Cancer Research and Treatment, it also honors our Cancer Survivors and remembers our friends and loved ones that have lost their battle to this dreadful disease. The Relay is also about our community that has taken up a fight against cancer and will stop at nothing until we find a cure.

Brown Special to the Rappahannock News It’s a funny month, June; one part April filled with promise, one part jaded August. At the beginning of the month, the rows in the garden seemed too far apart. The beans and tomatoes, barely more than seedlings, stared back at me as if to say, “OK. So where’s the heat?” By the 15’th, they’ve hit their stride, complaining that the weeds are cramping their style, and by the end of the month the tomatoes will be chest high and the beans will turn a slightly yellowed leaf to hohum me as I pick the first of their fruit. The computers and the radio personalities were calling for rain all week, but the weather’s been good and Everett finished rolling the last of the hay this afternoon. The wagon went out the lane a few minutes ago and in its wake the drifting scents of dust and new-mown hay recall the day’s events. There were no fawns hiding in the long grass this year. The box turtles all managed to duck in time for the mower and the rake to pass. But judging from the crows in the field not all the insects and rodents were as lucky. The fields always look their best when they’re new' mown, neat and contoured. Their pale green highlighted with flaxen wisps of unraked hay, they roll one into the other like linen billowing on a clothesline, pinned by hedgerows or the rich dark canopy of the wood lot. A fox trotted along the stone fence at the edge of the wood lot last evening and teased old Bailey with its high pitched hark. If it weren't for the sofa he sleeps on at night Bailey would probably want to come back as a pack hound. As it is. he just looked longingly in the direction of the taunt and then made a false start at the cat to wipe the gnn off its face. June's a tough month for cats. All spring long Katy strutted proudly up to the porch with voles and moles and mice but now she looks askance at me from a distance. thinking I must be crazy for flailing at her with a broom to drive her off a fledgling t>ird she tried to present to me with the same sense of accomplishment. Somewhere I know there's a court that would find me guilty of complicity in this attack for having lured the parents with my feeder. For her part . Katy seems oblivious to her change from vigilant guardian to nasty killer, as she grooms herself in the middle of a bramble patch beyond the reach of the broom. But -June isn't only about transitions. It has its own fulfillment. June is morning mist among the hills and the magic of cool air on mv arms and warm sun in my face. June is a wild strawberry with flavor its domestic cousins long ago forgot. It's new growth on the Virginia pines maturing and taking its place in the life of the tree. It's a fragrant hank of honeysuckle, catching the long rays of the evening sun to the murmur of the bees it feeds and needs. June is a birthday, a wedding and the funeral of a happy man. June is a celebration. BE ALERT NEW HOSPITAL PATTERN During our ongoing renovation, you'll find changes in hospital traffic patterns and parking.

School perturbations By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer Though it is not unusual to see a handful or two of teacher resignations each June, the spring of 2002 might he remembered for the scope of personnel changes in Rappahannock County Public Schools. The resignation of Principal Joseph Perine last month has been followed by the resignation of Superintendent Dr. Gangel at Tuesday’s School Board meeting (see page A-l), and the announcement by Assistant Superintendent Jack Raines of nine others. Athletic Director Jon Smythe has tendered his resignation, but according to Mr. Raines he will stay with the school system and hopes to coach football and other sports. Mr. Raines added that Mr. Smythe feels that he has “gotten things going” and now wishes to lay back a bit and “have some fun” with high school athletics. He will be replaced as Athletic Director by Richard Armstrong, former AD at Randolph-Macon Academy. Jon Heddleston, long-time English teacher at RCHS has also resigned — he will devote his full attention to the ministry. Also on the list: John Schneider, Kara Krueger, Jennifer Jenkins, Joann Berta, Holly Propst, Corinne Smith, and Terry Genther. Among those who have agreed to join RCPS staff are: Dave Gillis (RCHS mathematics!; Anthony Lambiasi (RCHS social studies); Jan Makela (RCES teacher); Tiffany Keyes (RCES teacher); Melissa Jenkins (RCES special education); Wanda Parsons (Special Education Director’s secretary); Barbara Sisk (RCES library aide); Kim Vest (RCES aide); John Glass (RCES teacher); and Richie Burke (Junior Panther softball coach). Mr. Raines also discussed the prcx'ess and results for the recruitment and hiring of a new high school principal.

Five of the remaining 26 have been selected to begin the interviewing process that will begin on June 12. These candidates will be interviewed first by an administration/school board committee and by a high school staff committee to narrow the field down to a few candidates who will again be interviewed by those committees and by a community committee. A final decision by the School Board could be made within the month, though public commenter Ron Makela advised the Board “to take its time and move cautiously,” and Rose Ann Sharp said that she is “not feeling rushed to fill any position.” SOL improvements at RCHS If “preliminary, preliminary” SOL test results hold up, significant improvements in RCHS scores might well cap Superintendent Gangel’s tenure in Rappahannock. He said that early results for the high school were sufficient enough for full accreditation and, if a weakened showing at the elementary school does not result in loss of its full accreditation^ he will have met the goal that he set last year-complete and full accreditation for the school division. Dr. Gangel reported that overall math scores at the high school improved to a pass rate 74.3 percent, including a pass rate of 87.5 percent in Algebra I; the social studies pass rate climbed to 90.6 percent; the science rate is 83.2 percent; and the English pass rate is 81.3 percent. At the elementary school, the third grade average declined five points to 70.3; the fifth grade dropped fifteen points to an average of 70 percent, and the eighth grade average of 77.2 represents a eight point loss from last year. Other activities • Schools maintenance director Bill Deal, whose position was eliminated in thle Fiscal Year 2002-2003 budget, thanked Dr. Gangel and the Board for providing him with the opportunity to have worked in the school system, and made . an impassioned plea to the Board to consider “reinstating the position for another year-at " least until I can train, s person.” He expressed his concern that, with his and Dr. Gangel’s departures, no one would be available who knew the facilities and who would be able to deal with various agencies and contractors, or who could prepare bid specifications. • Dr. Gangel announced that summer school is set for July 1-30 from 9 a.m. to noon.

Catron Special to the Rappahannock News Sneak Preview — The Ki Players celebrate midsummer’s dream next week with zest and spice, as they present Shakespeare’s play — within-aplay, “The Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisby as performed by The Rude Mechanicals and Rustics.” This is the Ki’s first summer production, and it seems fated to become an annual event. The play is ideally suited for local production. It tells the tale of a theatrical production enacted by rustic amateurs to celebrate the wedding of the Duke of Athens and the Queen of the Amazons (regally played by Norm and Joan Getzinger). Risking the disdainful judgment of the nobles, the rustics, led by Peter Quince (an authoritative Joyce Abell), abandon their inhibitions in a drama of “very tragical mirth.” The gender-bending casting is nearly impeccable. Dave Hilty’s falsetto as Thisbv is an effective counterpoint to Mike Mahoney’s reso Heiserman. Producer Claudia Mitchell plays a credible Lion, and Lyt Wood shines as the Moon. Sallie Morgan is a winsome Titania, Queen of the Fairies. Janet Davis plays an irrepressible Puck, animating her every scene, and the antics of a trio of fairies, the Dodd-Henze sisters, tickle the company. nant Pyramus. A memorable comic The rustics enthusiasm is mfechighlight has the lovers whispering tious, and the wedding couple is through a chink in the wall, whim- well entertained, as we are by this sically played by Derrick rollicking production. The company has been well molded by first-time director Betsy Toth. This is community theater worthy of the name, with high production values: Impressive set design by Lyt Wood and Jeanne Drevas, costumes and masks by Jean Elizabeth, and magical lighting by Betsy Toth and Carl Aplin. Come early to enjoy the music, an ensemble of dulcimer, flute, violin and cello played by Lyt Wood, Kathy and Scott Tester and Judy Engen. Performance will be held on Friday, June 21, at 8 p m.; matinee on Sunday, June 23, at 4 p.m. Cost is $10 for adults and $5 for students and children. Reservations recommended.

To see all those sweet little faces and hear their proud little voices sing such a patriotic song was heartwarming, to say the least. Just imagine four year olds crooning such spirited words! You’re a grand old flag, You’re a high flying flag And forever in peace may you wave. You’re the emblem of The land I love. The home of the free and the brave. Every heart beats true ‘neath the Red, White, and Blue, Where there s never a boast or brag. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, Keep your eye on the grand old flag. The Fourth of July is traditionally celebrated as America’s birthday, but the idea of an annual day chosen to celebrate the United States flag first originated in 1885. A schoolteacher arranged for students in the Fredonia, Wisconsin Public School, District 6, to observe June 14 as ‘Flag Birthday’. This day was the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes. Nowadays, June 14 is better known as Flag Day, and this year we celebrate the 225th Anniversary of The United States Flag. What better way to show American pride than a birthday party for the Grand Ole Flag! Lets’ fly the Stars and Stripes in front of our stores everywhere. Let’s hang it from our front porch railing at home. By displaying the flag, we express our gratitude to Sperryville By LISA RAMEY 987-9109 earlier generations who fought and died for this country, and we remind ourselves of our duty to preserve freedom for future generations. Youngsters from coast to coast wave little flags from their tiny hands at the Fourth of July parades. As our children grow and enter school, they stand tall, face the American flag, place their right hands over their hearts, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. And when our children become adults, and serve our country proudly, we honor the passing of fallen patriots by draping their coffins with the American flag. All across our land, and through all stages of our lives, we display the flag to show that we are indeed “one nation under God” regardless of our other differences. Anyone can purchase a U.S. Flag that has flown over the United States Capitol building in Washington D.C. Simply write a letter to your Senator with your request. The addresses for Virginia’s Senators are: Office of Senator George Allen Russell Senate Office Building, Room 204 Washington, D.C. 20510 Office of Senator John Warner Russell Senate Office Building, Room 225 Washington, D.C. 20510 You may request that your flag be flown on a certain date such as a birthday or anniversary. Be sure to mail in your request at least four weeks prior to the date you have selected. Your flag will be mailed to you and arrive three to four weeks after the date you have specified (since Sept. 11, 2001 it may take longer to receive your flag). Enclosed with your flag will be a Certificate from The Architect Of The Capitol certifying that your flag was flown as requested. If you mention in your letter that this flag is for a specific occasion, that information will be included on the certificate. Let’s give Flag Day the respect and honor it so dearly deserves. Fly the Grand Ole Flag for the world to see. Recite the Pledge of Allegiance as if it were the most important thirty-one words you could say. And sing Grand Ole Flag like you’re in preschool again. The annual Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department's parade and carnival were a big success last week.

A week later he summoned all his strength to look into my unsuspecting eyes and say, “I love you”, very plainly... for the last time. lnrougnoui more i than fifty years, my father gave so much of himself to me that he acnieved his chance at immortality while he lived. 1 his Father’s Day he still lives... in my mind and in my heart. I share my experience this Father’s Day only to assure fathers everywhere that they too will achieve “immortality” with each word and deed they share with their sons and daughters. Though it is an aw esome responsibility, fathers have an invaluable opportunity to imprint upon their children lifelong patterns of positive thoughts and behavior. Won’t you leave the legacy of enduring faith and the acceptance of God's will by w orshiping as a family this week? The benefits are timeless.

Hawkins died May dO and services acre held on Saturday. -June 1 at Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church. The following was read at the services by his son-indaw, Fred H. Codding. George W. Hawkins and I were friends—it was not a father-in-law — son-in-law relationship. We discussed and did things together, we discussed the other George W. in the White House. We took overnight trips to Colonial Beach to go out fishing the next morning. George loved to fish. Within the last year we drove around Rappahannock County and took pictures of some of the homes, the hanks, the office buildings and the churches built by George, his father, his grandfather and their predecessors and his son Phil. Over the years thousands of Rappahannock County citizens have lived in. worked in and visited the homes, offices and churches the Hawkins family has built. George and now Phil, his son, have left their mark upon the Rappahannock County landscape. The Hawkins family is intertwined with this church. The stained glass window on my right is dedicated in memory of Charles W. and Jane Hawkins. They were George’s parents. As has been said: There is a time for every purpose A time to give A time to lose A time to reap A time to sow A time to love A time for peace There is a time far every purpose There is a time for travel. In his young years George and Geneva traveled to and lived in Brunswick. Ga.and in Washington, D.C. during World War II. In earlier years George went to the Chicago World's Fair with Judge Rayner Snead and other friends. They drove in a Model T Ford. Travel he did. Particularly to Clevviston. Fla. Family members have vivid memories of the long drive down and the long drive hack to and from Clewiston. George was an independent person. He rarely asked for anyone to assist him. It was quite the opposite. On one of the occasions when Geneva was hospitalized, a question arose as to w hether she should go into a nursing home. George was in his 70s at the time. He called around 6 one morning and told Judy he was going to take Geneva home and take care of her himself. He made tin* arrangements and did so. Late into his 80s George read the Washington Post: he watched the news on TV; he relied upon and quoted Boh Ryan of Channel 4 for the weather forecast; George plowed and reaped his own garden. As a poet Kipling wrdte over 100 years ago: If you can walk with kings and Not lose the commoh touch If all men count with you If you can fill the unforgiving minute With 60 seconds of distance run. George never lost the common touch and George filled every unforgiving minute with more than 60 seconds. I went looking for George one day w hen he was in his late 70s. I found him painting the roof of a barn at the family farm. He remained independent and active throughout his life. And he filled our lives with respect and admiration for his courage. For his wall to live. For his fight to live. • George, we’ll miss yoiir sense of humor, your unfaltering curiosity about the world, vour fighting spirit, and the standards of hard work and honesty you lived by. And the connection you gave your daughter, your son, your grandchildren and great grandson Peanut with their past. We were blessed to have had you with us. George himself cannot express his appreciation to you for coming today. I do so on his behalf, thank you. 21"&26" Men's fancy sportshirts and twill shorts by a Famous American Designer.

As a result, there have been an increasing number of services for miscarriages and stillborns. This is done in the belief that acknowledging the sorrow associated with the death of an unborn child, and sharing those feelings, helps overcome the pain of the death of a child. People are embracing the fact that when there is a death, they need some kind of ceremony and ritual. The funeral director can help arrange a meaningful ceremony, which can range from a service in a chapel to hymns for the family to a ceremony in the funeral home. Sorrow accompanies loss, even when that loss in invisible as is so often true for those w ho lose a pregnancy. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, you'll find that we are completely patient with grief, no matter what kind of loss you have suffered. In this world, we often ignore or rush grief, but there is no rushing the ebb and flow of powerful feeling - it has its own time. Call 347-3431 (233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton) 24 hours a day.

June gardening tips By Kenner P. Love Extension Agent, ANR Crop and Soil Sciences The following are June gardening tips from the Rappahannock Extension Office. • Disinfection of pruners between cuts is recommended when removing diseased tissue from plants. Most authorities recommend a one in ten solution of bleach and water, but it can be cumbersome to carry a bucket of this mix about in the garden, and the solution is corrosive and must be rinsed from tools after use. A household, disinfectant spray that doesn't damage tools can also be used. And a spray can is easier to carry. • Strawberries picked early in the day keep best. Do not wash or stem berries until ready to use. Store berries in covered containers in the refrigerator. • Precision placement of fertilizer in the row near the root zone of vegetable plants reduces fertilization costs, does not stimulate bet ween-row weed growth, and may help reduce fertilizer contamination of runoff water. Side-dressing, a technique to fertilize established vegetable crops, is beneficial for adding fertilizer when it is most needed by the crop. • If weed plants are mature, plan to weed vour garden early in the morning when moisture is present to prevent the seed heads from shattering and dropping weed seeds in the garden. • To make a produce cleaning station, replace the bottom of a w'ooden box with half-inch hardware cloth or chicken wire. Place ,/resh-picked vegetables in the box and rinse them off in the garden so the soil remains there. Only final cleaning will be necessary indoors. • After watering, the soil in the vegetable garden should be moist to a depth of 8 to 10 inches. If the moisture is not that deep, evaluate your watering technique. • Yellow crook-neck or straight-neck squash tastes best when four to seven inches long. Pick when pale yellow (rather than golden i and before skin hardens. Scalloped (patty pan) squash is best when grayish or greenish white (before it turns ivory white) and is still small, even silver-dollar size. • Remove cucumbers by turning fruits parallel to the vine and giving a quick snap. This prevents vine damage and results in a clean break. If you have trouble mastering this, take a sharp knife to the garden for harvesting. Cut or pull cucumbers, leaving a short stem on each fruit. • Drought or hot, dry winds can cause pepper blossoms to drop. Mist plants with water twice a day to help retain blossoms and set fruit. • After your vegetable garden is well established, it is best to water it thoroughly once a week rather than giving it a light watering everyday. That way, a deeper root system is encouraged that will help the plants tolerate dry weather. Generally, an application of one inch of water to the surface will wet the soil to six or eight inches deep. • i he time of day vegetables are harv ested can make a difference in the taste and texture. For sweetness, pick peas and com late in the day. That’s when they contain the most sugar, especially if the day was cool and sunny. Other vegetables, such as lettuce and cucumbers, are crisper and tastier if you harvest them early in the morning before the day’s heat has a change to wait and shrivel them. • Stop cutting asparagus in mid-or-late June when the spears become thin. After the last cutting is made, fertilize by broadcasting a 10-10-10- formula at the rate of two pounds per 100 square feet. Allow the tops to grow during the summer to store food in the roots for the crop next spring. • Add organic mulch to the vegetable garden when your seedlings are about six inches tall. This will conserve moisture and discourage weeds. Make sure the soil is moist, and the area is free of weeds before adding mulch. • Avoid side dressing tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers with fertilizer until they have set their first fruit. For additional information on the above topics or other advice call the Extension Office Briefs From Page B9 streams, meadows, forests, and mountains. Campers anppicked up and dropped off in Amissville, Washington, Sperryville, Culpeper, and Madison. Camp sessions are June 1728, July 1-12, July 15-26, July 29 - Aug. 9, Aug. 12-23.
