Bed and Breakfast Inn decision tabled By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer Lengthy discussions and a series of tie votes led to a Town Planning Commission "no decision" on Mary Ann Kuhn's request for a Zoning Ordinance text amendment that would add an expanded use "Bed and Breakfast Inn category to the ordinance. Witn Commission chair Jean Goodine reportedly on vacation until September, newly appointed Commissioner Barbara Stockton in her premier Planning Commission meeting, and Town Councilman-elect Jeff Benson at his final Commission meeting, the Town of Washington Planning Commission is in a state of flux, and the ultimate outcome of Ms. Kuhn's request is highly dependent upon the configuration of that body. Barbara Stockton led off the discussions on the proposed amendments by expressing concern with the "multiple negative potential" of the new "Bed and Breakfast Inn” cat-! egory. If approved, a Bed and Breakfast Inn could offer services including "overnight accommodations; dining for overnight guests and for others . . . hosting of meetings,! receptions, weddings . . . and prepa-; ration of foods at the property for' catering service ... .at locations other than the property." Ms. Stockton and Commissioner Mitzie Young both spoke of the conflict of the proposed change with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan, and of the incompatibility of the use in the rural residential zone in which Ms. Kuhn's Middleton Inn is located. Ms. Kuhn did not speak on behalf of her proposal, but has Attorney John Davies represent her interests, and he initially asked the Commission not to make a decision See COUNCIL, Page A8 County Supervisors walk in the woods By Gerald Ochs • •’•■'.•fc Rappahannock News Writer The Board of Supervisors con» vened a meeting on. Old Rock Mills Road at US 211 oh Monday afternoon to help them reach some conclusion as to the advisability of approving new public access through Flatwood Road for the Freeman and other families residing there. Geraldine Freeman, Donald Porter, and other family members first presented the Board with a plea for assistance in October of last year. Access to their properties was cut off when part of Route 622 was abandoned in 1999, and Mr. Porter told the Board in October of 2001 that the existing right-of-way was submerged and could not be used or repaired. He said that he had not been able to get help from the County, and requested that a representative from the Board of Supervisors visit the site to see the nature of their problem and to help find a solution. The families have attended a number of Supervisors meetings since then to continue their quest for new access, and in May County Administrator John McCarthy presented a proposed ordinance that woulcTprovide them with«ihe righfrRpRV build a new road through the 1 County's Flatwood property, but would require that they construct and maintain it at their own expense. The Board did not act on the new ordinance in May and, at the behest of Chairman Pete Estes, decided at their regular June meeting that they would meet at the site to determine the usability of the old road. That meeting was conducted with the assistance of surveyor David Clark, who showed the Supervisors that a large portion of the old right-of-way was now indeed submerged, as the Freemans and Mr. Porter had contended. The meeting reconvened in the Courthouse after the site visit, and Supervisors Bryant Lee, Roger Welch, and Ron Frazier all agreed that the old road was not usable and See SUPERVISORS, Page A8

Cleveneer’s Comer: water runoff (part 2) By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News Regulating runoff from residential and commercial development involves two players. The first is the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). Developers building interior roads on their own property, or widening current VDOT roads, must satisfy VDOT’s construction standards. This includes the handling of stormwater runoff. If such work is not acceptable, VDOT will not undertake the maintenance of these roads. Parking lots or other impend ous surfaces within the development, where the runoff ends up using VDOT’s stormwater drainage system, must also be approved by the agency. For the Clevenger’s Conner Village Plan in Culpeper County, or any development involving roads within Rappahannock County or anywhere else, stormwater regulations require that peak runoff flow not be increased because of the development. This is to prevent flooding downstream, pollution and sediment in streams and rivers, loss of groundwater storage, and harm to stream bed ecology. VDOT makes use of “rainfall intensity and duration” charts to help size drainage systems. Each county has such a chart. Those for Culpeper and Rappahannock County are virtually identical. Data from a county’s “rainfall intensity and duration” chart, plus other factors, are used in a fortnula that produces an answer on the size of the drainage system needed for the type of road under study, be it an Interstate, primary, secondary, or residential road. Tons of water to be collected and dispersed might be one way to grasp what this all means. Take the two miles of primary road from Clevenger’s Corner down Route 229 to Route 621, a stretch where a developer(s) is expected to add two new lanes if traffic warrants it. The new roadway will amount to six acres of asphalt. Using the Culpeper County “rainfall intensity and duration” chart, plus Other factors, runoff might total 928 tons of water during a heavy downpour. This 928 tons of moving water has to be collected and Photo courtesy of Don Audette WATER, WATER: Not Clevenger’s Comer, but Sperryville in Rappahannock County, with runoff out of control. dispersed without disrupting traffic. In addition, the water’s tremendous amount of moving energy has to be bled off. Rain runs off to the edges of the road, where curbs and guttering gather it and guide it to inlets. The rainwater then drops down the inlets into contained pools of water, designed to absorb energy. The water then flows through concrete pipes under the right-ofway, with pipe sizing increasing occasionally to handle the mounting water flow being collected. At some point, the flow is diverted to grassy or concrete swales, with possibly some stretches of large rock called riprap to further break up the energy of the runoff. The flow, by now calmed down, may end up in a retention pond. Here, pollution and sediment sink to the bottom, and the cleansed water is metered out to streams and ultimately to the Rappahannock River. Alternatively, the runoff might percolate down into groundwater. When you drive along in a heavy rainstorm, you should appreciate that there is an incredible arriount of activity going on under the roadway and off in the fields and woods to take care of water runoff so you can drive along safely. The second party regulating development runoff is the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. Both during and after construction activities, ertosion and sediment control regulations and DARR FARMS stormwater management practices must be followed. Runoff from land disturbing activities, such as clearing, grading, the stockpiling of soil, excavating, or other construction work, should not cause soil erosion or the movement of sediment into rivers and streams. The same regulations apply to runoff from roofs, driveways, parking lots, or other impervious surfaces within the development. The first goal is to prevent erosion. This is done by keeping existing vegetation, planting new vegetation, or using mulch. Planned parking and driving areas, before paving, need gravel down to stop erosion. Second, if erosion does occurs, one must trap the sediment before it leaves the property. This is done by using diversion dikes, channels, swales, silt fence sediment barriers, check dams of rock across swales to cut the speed of runoff, and sediment traps and basins, such as wet or dry ponds. Again, peak runoff flow must not be increased because of the development. Rappahannock County residents may see all this in action when the Rappahannock National Bank starts construction of a new headquarters building on 1.8 acres in the Rappahannock Commercial Area along US 211 between Sperryville and Washington. An interior road will be built to VDOT standards. Between 3-4 acres of land will be disturbed by the development. An erosion and sediment control and stormwater management plan will be adhered to, the plan having been approved by the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. A stormwater dry pond receiving collected rainfall and snowmelt will control bank runoff so that it can seep back into the ground over time. This winter or next spring, residents will be able to observe how a drainage system is implemented in Sperryville. Great care has been taken by VDOT to preserve the historic character of the village, working within a very narrow roadway.

In our view, rather than plunging headlong into summer and rushing off to other vacation spots, there is much to be said for discovering and rediscovering what is close by. Our families, our friends, our neighbors, and our community are beckoning. Let’s celebrate summer this year by looking around us and seeing what we’ve not seen before. Are there some trails in our County that need hiking? New neighbors we could invite over for a picnic? Are there any shops we’ve not explored? How many cherries and blueberries and strawberries can we pick with the family?. By summer’s end perhaps some corners in Rappahannock will be more familiar, we’ll have new friends in our new neighbors and our family will be even more dear. Yeah, summer! i 7 things to do • Buy lemonade from any kid who’s selling. • Anytime you can, vote • Choose having time over having money. • Always take the scenic route • Give money to all street musicians. • Always be someone’s Valentine. • When the circus comes to town, be there. — Anonymous Letters to the editor The Rappahannock News 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 The Flatwood Refuse and Recycling Center is decked out in its summer finery. I I I Letters Views offered on superintendent’s search i I am a relative newcomer to Rappahannock County (since 1993) and have no children in the public schools. Nevertheless, I have a continuing interest in the progress of elementary and secondary education in the county. I have served for a year as a volunteer teacher’s assistant in the schools, as well as having been a member of the Headwaters Board. I write in the context of this continuing interest to offer some views on the Board of Education’s search for a new superintendent. Filling that position is the Board’s most important task. To do it well, the Board must have a clear vision of the school system’s priority needs and the kind of leadership required to achieve those priorities. To paraphrase an old saying, if the Board does not know where it wants to go, any superintendent can take it there. Finally, I have three specific suggestions. First, I understand that the Board and the Superintendent are required to present the annual budget in an arcane, if not impenetrable form. In these circumstances, I suggest that they have a duty to show in a comprehensible manner the budget’s relation to the priorities they have set for the school system and the consequences of those allocations for other activities. Second, while the Superintendent is the overall manager of the system her or his larger responsibility is educational leadership within If we build it, they will come Living in America, a capitalistic society where consumerism and economic growth fuel our system, we succumb to the inevitable knowing that “growth” and “progress” will occur in our community as well as all others across the U.S. What shape that change takes is more in our hands than we think. One thing that is loved about Rappahannock is its uniqueness, its reminders to the past, the history of what made this country great. It is that fiery spirit of doing things our way, of not conforming to the counties around us, of boldly setting original, yet practical ordi nances that protect what we value most. We all travel to grocery stores where we see towns getting swallowed up by development’s interests. The homogenized look that turns agricultural landscapes into main thoroughfares that look like every other passageway that links one town to the other is unmistakable. I applaud Peter Hombostel’s editorial letter on the Old Rag parking lot. As residents it is our job to question the Park Service regarding this change. We will live with the effects. The acreage for the lot sends out a signal to question the author* ities oii the motivation behind this plan. If we build it, so many more will come! How does that preserve the trail? , Did anyone else gasp when they saw the computerized rendition of what our local bank will look like? Did it have that agricultural appeal? Will it set the precedent to follow? Most assuredly. Three drive-up windows?! Do we really think that is necessary? Perhaps the bank knows something we don’t. Perhaps in a few years, with all those “conveniences” that may be added to the development, we open the door to suburbia, to nestle right into the heart of See LUCKING, Page A7 the system and in the broader j community. The person select-' ed as the system’s next leader should have the demonstrated ability and the energy to pursue that responsibility. Third, in order to increase the likelihood of selecting , such a leader, the search com- j mittee should include, in t addition to members of the ! School Board, participation | from faculty, student body and the broader community. ! Lisle Carter! Flint Hill J Thanks j expressed!

Mrs. Cooksey was appointed acting postmistress on Nov. 20, 1933. At that time the post office was in Latham’s Store. About 1947 the post office was promoted to third class and moved to its present building. Roger Welch, Roger Hawkins and David Palmer accompanied by Vo-Ag Instructor C.B. Palmer spent several days last week at VPI at the State FFA Convention. John L. Wharton, son of Mrs. Frances Wharton of Woodville has completed his basic training at Fort Gordon, Ga. After a brief visit with his mother he will return to Fort Gordon for further assignment with the U.S. Army. The Ruritan Club of Amissville is sponsoring the organization of a majorette group. Children between the ages of six and 15 are invited to try out for this marching group. Newberrys in Culpeper was offering ladies shorts, all cotton for 88 cents a pair; girls shorts for $1 a pair; ladies sleeveless blouses for 99 cents and beach bags for only $1.99. 25 YEARS AGO June 30, 1977 / The June session of the Rappahannock School Board was Chairman E.N. Montague’s last meeting before retirement from his position as the county’s “at large” representative. At the close of the meeting, he gave the Board some parting advice. ‘ A front page photo featured a bulldozer I breaking up the last of the food stand on the Amissville carnival grounds to make way for the eventual dual laning of Route 211. The buildings have been razed and new ones are being constructed in time for this year’s carnival in August. Martha Stuart Fletcher of Sperryville was among the 450 graduates of Ohio Wesleyan University of Delaware, Ohio who were awarded diplomas at the commencement June 12. She received a bachelor of arts degree. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Fletcher. Among the blood donors who visited the mini-mobile in Washington recently were Mr. and Mrs. Larry Welch of Flint Hill who made it a family affair. In excess of forty donors presented themselves at the bloodmobile and 33 units of blood were collected, some specified for a Flint Hill resident who will undergo surgery. ' Floyd T. Grigsby, formerly of Castleton, who is now manager of the Southern States Cooperative in Martinsburg, W.Va. was recognized for reaching $1,000,000 in sales during 1976. Airman Beverly Reid, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Murphy Reid of Castleton, has returned to Griffiss Air Force Base in New York accompanied by her sister, Kim Reid, after spending a week with her family. Airman Reid will be promoted to Airman First Class shortly after her return to the base, having served one year in the Air Force. 10 YEARS AGO June 25,1992 When Marti Cannon closes the Castleton ) Post Office in the basement of her home at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, June 26, an era will come to an end. Since March 1914, a Cannon has been postmaster at Castleton. Now it appears there may not even be a post office at Castleton. Mrs. Cannon has resigned from the post office after deciding to return to teaching.

Lucking From Page A6 our county. Do we want buildings that look like they belong in Manassas? We, as residents, have a right to assist in the development of our town. Our supervisors await our phone calls for our opinions. The School Board members value community input. And the Park Service deserves our questions. It is our ancestral spirit of speaking out, standing up for what we believe, that has kept Rappahannock unlike all the other places around us. When you travel through other states, you see where that spirit has made a difference. Many historic towns in Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Colorado have designed building codes and ordinances to protect what they value. Where natural resources and scenic beauty abound, it is more common that residents maintain control of the influx of newcomers’ ideas, with preservation at the heart of change, growth and progress. The time is now to speak out, write letters, talk to your neighbors, feel empowered to make a difference. Our officials need us to do just that. And our new business leaders want to know howr they can keep their customers happy! Carol Lucking Sperryville Citizen upset with service On Friday, June 21, the Sperryville Rescue Squad was called to my home for my wife and they never responded in over an hour and an half. I think it’s a shame when you wait for that amount of time and then have to call for a rescue unit from Amissville to receive assistance. The Sperryville Rescue Squad members are constantly seeking donations from the community, but where are they when you have a need? The Sperryville Fire Department can arrive on the scene in just a few minutes to a fire but the Rescue Department takes forever.

A dozen inlets of the main sys, tem catch runoff and guide it to a 36”outfall pipe angling under Main Street to the Thornton River.

County’s Fourth Festivities The 4th of July will happen By Fran Krebser Special to the Rappahannock News The 4th of July this year in the Town of Washington may not /' look and feel quite the 4T same as it has in the * past. There will be no * children’s bike parade, no interface, Macintosh, making it the .w first computer truly ■ understandable by the average user. This is the basic ' interface that the Windows OS has imitat| t ed ever % since. Apple i a s Now cran ana iooa venaors, no parking challenges, no fireworks W released an entirely ana no liability issues. Thursday, July 4, 2002 will surely come, the Town of Washington will surely be here (though not quite the same as in George Washington’s day), and it might still be possible for us to celebrate Independence Day in this beautiful town. This 4th of July from noon until 4 p.m. there will be an opportunity for a gentle celebration on the Courthouse lawn in the Town of Washington. There will be an American flag and perhaps some patriotic music. There will be shade and lemonade all day long. And there will be red, white and blue balloons for children of all ages. There will be no food other than what neighbors might bring, there will be no entertainment other than what we provide for each other, and there will be no charge for anything. This “happening” is put together by the local Democratic Committee, and all are cordially invited to drop by for some lemonade, conversation and celebration. Rappahannock Macintosh User barbecue planned By Eric Kvarnes Special to the Rappahannock News Local Macintosh Computer users have organized the first annual Macintosh User barbecue to be held this July 4th at the home of Eric and Christina Kvarnes in Sperryville. Windows users are also invited to participate. Eighteen years ago Apple Computer released the first computer with a user friendly graphical new system, System X (10). This is a completely new system “under the hood” that’s not based on earlier versions of the Mac OS, although longtime users will find it very familiar. Based on the very powerful and stable UNIX system, Apple has produced a system that doesn’t crash or “freeze up”. Always the innovator of striking new equipment and systems, Apple has left Windows scrambling to catch up again with the extremely powerful and very stable System X. Mac users have always been highly enthusiastic about their system, but the with the release of this new system, a quantum leap has been been achieved. Apple has also, with the cooperation of Microsoft, made it much easier to live in a Windows world with the whole suite of Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Entourage) available for Mac and the documents produced open on any Office equipped Windows computer with no translation needed. Connecting with a Windows network is now much easier as well, s' Bill Gates is a minority owner of f Apple and with the Mac division turning in high profit levels for Microsoft, continued suDDort is assured. With thousands of ' programs available for Macs, the old excuse “But there’s no soft- /^) ware for Mac” is years ' in the past. The first annual Macintosh User barbecue will give local Mac users a chance to meet each other, and try the new system. Planning is starting for a local user group i iach ^ Y It’s a Windows world with over 90 percent 'X of computers world wide based Sy on the W i n - w d o w s % operating sys> tem, but the ever in creasing problems with Windows viruses, ongoing * problems with security 1 holes in Windows software, and with the always annoying problem of crashes, maybe it’s time to look at the % alternative system, — Macintosh. At a Glance • What: MACAHANNOCK The Rappahannock Mac User’s Annual Picnic • When: July 4th, 3 - 7:30 • Where: West of Sperryville, at the home of Eric and Christina Kvames, next to Estes Mill, US 211 and Route 667, one mile west of Sperryville. to meet every so often to help users learn from each other. The local Rappahannock Mac users invite you to come see for yourself. You can always decide that Windows is a perfect world and stay right where you are. Then again, you might like what you see.

Though much more planning has yet to be done and more people are signing-on every day, the celebration, so far, will include games that we all used to play on the Fourth—like horseshoes and volleyball—and grills for cooking up your own burgers and hot dogs, as well as drinks and ice cream for sale, live music, and a bonfire at dusk. There will also be an apple pie contest, so revelers-to-be are encouraged to spend some time in the kitchen before heading out to the Copper Fox. For music, The Old Rag Blues Band will be there, John L. May and friends will be picking some country, Rhythm Method will be rocking and rolling, and other local talent might well sign on. Anyone with a guitar, banjo or washtub is invited to join in too. The Copper Fox site on River Lane is large enough to accommodate half the County’s residents and most of its cattle, so drive on in on the Fourth. The celebration will start at 3 p.m. and won’t end until well after dark. If you would like to suggest additional entertainment or need directions, call Rick Wasmund at 987-8800.

Whether reading from a beach chair parked in the sand, or perched upon a stool at the local air-conditioned library, literature is a great escape for all ages. Literature has so much to offer. Reading can help you become more finely tuned to language, both your own and other people's. It can make you keenly conscious of how to use the word that is precisely right rather than the word that is merely good enough. It has been said that the best preparation for law school is a solid understanding of the English language, and a knack for poetry. Why poetry? Quite simply, interpretation of law is interpretation of language. The study of legal thinking, as well as the study of poetry includes providing a sample of text and asking how many different ways can this text have meaning? While most of us choose careers other than law, many careers today call for excellent communication skills, both written and oral. And though times and technology may change, the ability to think clearly and to express yourself well will always be in demand. Children who are read to will grow to love books. While it is best to read to your child early and often, a child is never too old to be read to. Start today! Reading books aloud to children stimulates their Sperryville By LISA RAMEY 987-9109 imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. When the rhythm and melody of language become a part of a child’s life, learning to read will be as natural as learning to walk and talk. Some children will naturally pick up a book and read. Others need activities, games and incentives to entice them. With youngsters, remember that reading is a physical act, as well as a mental one. It involves eye-hand coordination. So, when you read, involve your child by: • Pointing out objects in the pictures; • Following the words with your finger (so your child develops a sense that the words go from left to right on the page); and • Having your child help turn the pages (to learn that the pages turn from right to left). Even after children learn to read by themselves, it’s still important for you to read aloud together. By reading stories that are on their interest level, but beyond their reading level, you can stretch their understanding and motivate them to improve their skills. Granted, you can’t put a teenager on your lap and read stories every night. But you can still help older children become enthusiastic about reading. It is especially important to encourage reading for the fun of it. Create an environment rich with books. Make books readily available throughout your home and in the back seat of your vehicle. Read with your children every chance you get—even if it is just a column of a newspaper article at the breakfast table. Visit the library. Get a library card in your child’s name and one for yourself if you don’t have one. And most importantly, set the example—put a book in your hands and be sure your children know that you read ior enjoyment ana not just to get needed information. So whether you are young and parenting, or young at heart and enjoying your grandchildren, it is never too late to pick up a great book and reap the many rewards. Congratulations to Rev. Merlin Shorb, for 20 years of service as Pastor of the Rappahannock Methodist churches. On Sunday, several Sperryville congregation members attended the celebration of service in Flint Hill for their beloved Pastor. Good luck to the participants of this week’s RCHS Football Camp. Everyone is invited to help clean up the Sperryville Cemetery on Saturday, June 29 beginning at 8 a.m. Bring your tools and trash bags and help spruce up the grounds.

A sing along will be held at the Flint Hill United Methodist Church on Sunday, June 30 at 7:30 p.m. The public is cordially invited. Mr. and Mrs. Allen Proper of Dickerson, Md. were Saturday guests of Mrs. Flint Hill By POLLY AYLOR 987-8136 Barbara Gentry. Visiting Mrs. Gentry on Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. Ron Gentry and daughters, Molly and Maggie of Nokesville. On Sunday Elizabeth Welch had as her guest, Kimberly Sealock of Amissville. The girls enjoyed afternoon tea together. Judy Smith, who has been spending some time with her mother, Mrs. Mabel Lillard returned to her home in Tempe, Ariz. on Sunday. The Flint Hill United Methodist Church hosted an appreciation dinner at the fire hall on Sunday afternoon to honor Merlin and Joy Shorb. The Flint Hill Church presented them with a painting of the church painted by artist, Geneva Welch. Rev. Shorb was recognized for his faithful service of 20 years to the community and to the Rappahannock Charge (Flint Hill, Willis Chapel and Sperryville). A spokesperson from each church, Mary Curtis, Shelby Welch, Sandy Gourley and Lillian Fox praised Rev. Shorb for being a great pastor. The Shorbs with their family, Merlin Jr., Jennifer and Denise came to Rappahannock in June of 1982, which was his first charge. I recall his first wedding which took place in the Willis Chapel Church on Sept. 4, 1982 when he united Robin Ricker and Bill Dennis in marriage. I remember because Bill is my nephew and they have two lovely children, Ashlyn and Matthew and continue to live in Jackson, S.C. Rev. Shorb had a lot of first events and we are all very grateful to him and Joy. The event was enjoyed by all present with approximately 75 attending. Joining them for the occasion were their children, Merlin Shorb Jr. and his wife and children, Joyce Amanda, Rebekah, Caroline and Merlin III, Jennifer and Nick Zuppas and twins, Zoe and Nicholas and Denise Bullett, who all live in the Maryland-Metropolitan area. The Flint Hill Baptist Church will have worship service on Sunday, June 30 at 11 a.m. with the pastor, Rev. John Farrar delivering the message.

Your little ones will tell you everything you could possibly want to know; the older ones... maybe or maybe not... depending on the day and the mood. What to do? As parents, we need to know. Try relaxing activities with your son or daughter. Perhaps concerns will surface naturally while walking in the park or driving through the countryside. Relaxing and happy times can encourage the flow of unguarded conversation. Try to have meals together as a family as often as possible. Truly, as children become teenagers and want to participate in more activities, it can be a feat, but this is the most important time for us to take charge of balancing all of their needs. For our youngsters to best meet their needs as adults, we must make it a top priority for them to come to know God as their Heavenly Father, for when we cannot be with them, He will.

"My first childbirth lasted 2,2, hours, so I got to know the nurses on all shifts.” “When you go through a marathon delivery, you’d better like the people who care for you. And if they make you comfortable both physically and emotionally, that’s where you want to have your next baby. That’s how 1 feel about Culpeper Regional. “It starts with the nurses. When 1 had my second baby, 1 recognized many of the nurses. One was with me for both deliveries, and was like my sister! She even came back after her shift to check on me. And I really appreciated Dr. Beier, my obstetrician. During my pregnancy 1 was sick one night and called him for help. He not only gave me good advice, but followed up the next day to make sure 1 was okay. That’s the kind of small personal things that all the people at Culpeper Regional do. I’ve had two great experiences there - 1 wouldn’t change a thing - okay, maybe not 22 hours again.” I “We came back because thg people were that good. ” Culpeper Regional Hospital S3 Promoting health.

We meet every Wednesday night from 7-8 p.m. and l Jjnsj2Czuy ^Uiioucjtits. by Randy Minter FINAL DISPOSITION While death may be a certainty, there is nothing certain about what Americas want done with their remains. Tastes and attitudes are changing and, amidst this change, there s a growing trend toward cremation. Currently, more than 25% of Americas choose cremation, while only 10% chose this method of disposition two decades ago. It is predicted that half the population will choose cremation by the year 2020. Some of the popularity of cremation is a reflection of the increasing transience of America. So many people now live away from their families that they feel it is easier to be created and have their remains sent to another part of the country. For others, cost and simplicity are driving motivations. Cremation is not for everyone, but for many, it offers a less cumbersome way to handle the remains of a loved one. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, we are here to help you make the right decision for your family. Our crematory is located in our building. We have lots of plans and options and are happy to discuss the specifics with you. Call us at 347-3431 to set up an appointment. “There is nothing permanent except change." _ Heradjtus Amissville By AMY HITT 937-3401 on Sunday from 6-8 p.m. In July there will be a games night and movie, a trip to Manassas Water Park and a party at Mike Letsen’s house.

The lady can sing! Chamber exec dons her old hat By Sarah L. Greenhalgh Rappahannock News Staff Writer Most people see her running Fauquier County’s Chamber of Commerce, but Karen Henderson has a secret gift. For most of her adult life she has been using her voice, not to dictate policies, but to entertain music lovers. “I have been a singer for over 30 years,” Henderson said. “I would say most of my career I have been performing.” Her partial list of clients comes in at about 49 and includes the likes of the Smithsonian, National Space Club, Hay-Adaihs Hotel, Four Season’s Hotel, Charlies of Georgetown, Blues Alley, Cellar Door, NASA, National Theater and Faberge. On June 30, Henderson will be at one of the ultimate venues, the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage. This not the first time the vocalist has performed at Washington’s premiere center for the arts. “I was lucky enough to be asked to perform the New Year s celebration December 31 and a time before that,” Henderson said. “This is the first time I haven’t had to share the stage with another act. I am really thrilled to get this chance.” The Millennium Stage was created to give artists a chance to perform at the prestigious center and to give people who arrive early for an opera or play a warm up act. Because Millennium Stage performances are free to the public, it makes for a perfect musical appetizer for people who have dinner reservations in the neighborhood. Henderson is accompanied by five musicians: Bob Smith (piano), Robert Vetter (trumpet and flugelhom), Ron Diel (saxophone), Dallas Smith (bass) and Steve Fidyk (drums). “I have known most of these guys forever,” Henderson said. “Many of them are retired military and were in various armed service bands. They are a wonderful bunch, and I couldn’t do it with out them.” A native of Rappahannock, Times-Democrat Staff Photo/ Mark F. Sypher GIFTED SINGER: There is a reason Karen Henderson of the Fauquier County’s Chamber of Commerce sometimes bursts into song. If you go • What: The Karen Henderson Sextet • Where: The Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage, June 30, 6 p.m. The performance is free to the public. • Information: Call (202) 467-4600 or log on to www.kennedycenter.org Henderson’s specialties are swing and scat music. “I am kind of an eclectic performer. I love to get the audience rocking and dancing,” Henderson said. “I told the Kennedy Center I wanted to have the chairs pushed back a bit so if people felt the need to get up and dance, there would be room.” She added, “I haven’t put the song list in stone yet, but I know I will have at least one ballad and one sing-along.” The performance is funded by a grant from the Recording Industries Music Performance Trust Fund.
