Sixteen month old Jonathan Taylor Jenkins of Flint Hill caught this two pounder with the help of his mom on Saturday afternoon while fishing with his parents in Washington. Jonathan is the son of Jr. and Michelle Jenkins of Flint Hill. The County according to the 2000 census By Meredith Gorfein Rappahannock Nows Writer A lot of what the 2000 census tells us we already know. As compared to the rest of Virginia, Rappahannock is small (only 207 square miles), sparsely populated (only 26.2 persons per square mile — Virginia is much more crowded at 178.8) and the number of the metropolitan areas equals zero. So, who are we? We are 6,983 strong and growing slowly. Our population has grown only 5.5 percent since 1990. That’s less than the 14.4 percent growth rate for the rest of the state. About as many are under five years old as are over 75 and 1,200 are retired or approaching retirement. Almost all were horn in the United States and 65 percent were born in Virginia. Of the foreign bom residents, 135 are not yet citizens. We are considerably more white than the rest of Virginia, we have more women-owned businesses than the state or nation as a whole, and there are more owning two or more vehicles than those who have only one or none. Families We are very married in Rappahannock with only about 27 percent either divorced or never married. The vast majority live here as part of a family (72 percent). There are 1,557 children under 18 and' 356 are under five — the youngest residents. Of the 201 grandparents living in the same household with their grandchildren, 25 are the primary care givers. Women and men There are just about as many men as women in the county and thdt ratio follows from birth to death. Full-time, year-round workers in Rappahannock if they’re male show a median income of $32,725. Women in the same category make about $10,000 less, (’lose to 66 percent of the population 16 years and older are in the labor force. That percent drops to 57 percent for women in the same age range. On the plus side for women, 39 percent of the businesses in this county are owned by women compared with 27.5 percent state-wide and 26 percent in the nation. Housing More homes were built before 1939 than in any decade since. Our building boom seems to have occurred in the 70s and 80’s when 35 percent of the homes standing for the 2000 census were built. So it’s possible to say that most of the homes hre either over 60 years old or in their mid-twenties. Seventy-seven percent of the homes in Rappahannock are valued between $50,000 and $199,999 with 18 valued at over $1,000,000 and 48 valued at under $50,000. Most (75.2 percent) are homeowners and more have a mortgage than don’t. Mortgage payments average $975 a month. Of the 3,303 housing units in the county, 515 are vacant (309 are for seasonal, recreational or occasional use ). Of the occupied housing units, 691 or 24.8 percent are rentals. Education More have graduated from high school than not (76 percent), and most of those graduating continued with their education. Some 23 percent received a bachelor’s degree or higher. According to the census almost 21 percent were enrolled in school. Employment When it comes to statistics on commuting, Rappahannock is interesting. Of course most drive alone to work (and at 75 percent that puts us right in with the See CENSUS, Page A8 The Inn gets retail space By Gerald Oc hs Rappahannock News Writer The Washington Town Council may have revealed its new face when it approved a Special Use permit for 714 square feet of retail space on the first floor of the former Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern. Mayor Stew Willis made clear his opposition to the application hut only Alice Butler shared his view, and .newly seated (as of July It Council members Claudia Mitchell and Jeff Benson joined Vice Mayor Steve Critzer in speaking in favor of the Special Use application. The Inn at Little Washington lost its bid at the June meeting of the Washington Town Council for 1950 square feet of retail space in the same building. At that time. Mayor Willis, Alice Butler, and Alice King voted negatively on the standard that shows the application “not in conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood . . .” and the affirmative votes by Vice Mayor Critzer and Jerry Goebel were insufficient to support the application. The votes on the same standard for the new application were weighted on the affirmative side, with Mr. Critzer, Mr. Goebel and new councilpersons Mitchell and Benson voting for and the Mayor and Mrs. Butler voting against. The votes on the remaining standards were all unanimous, and Mayor Willis then moved to approve the Special Use permit for the Inn and the Council voted unanimously to okay the application. Council member and Inn principal Reinhardt Lynch excused himself from the deliberations and voting on the Inn’s application. Council discussions and voting were preceded by remarks from the Mayor and from the Inn’s attorney, Lucy Ivanoff of the law firm Wharton Aldhizer & Weaver PLC, and by a public hearing. Mayor Willis opened discussions by noting that Ms. Ivanoff had asked, in a letter dated July 2, if he would be recused from the decision because of a conflict of interest—he receives rent from the Inn at Little Washington. The Mayor said that he had discussed the issue with Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, and that he was advised by Mr. Luke that he should not be recused. Ms. Ivanoff asked again and “for the record" if the Mayor would excuse himself, and Town Attorney John Bennett responded to her by noting that Mr. Luke had reviewed the code and had consulted with the Attorney General’s Office, and they said that there was no problem with the Mayor’s participation in the decision. Mr. Bennett then described the application for the audience. He said that the application was for three rooms on the first floor, and that the Council should consider only those 714 square feet and other “accessory and special uses will be considered later.” He expressed concern though that there was no consideration for See COUNCIL, Page A8 Sewage sludge update By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer County Administrator John McCarthy provided attendees to the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection’s (RLEP) July meeting with the latest on the sewage sludge issue. Mr. McCarthy recently presented the Rappahannock County perspective on the local regulation of biosolids to the Virginia State Legislative Commission on the Future of Virginia’s Environment (The Bolling Commission), and he shared that perspective with RLEP members and guests. As background, Mr. McCarthy noted that the land application of sewage sludge has bedeviled Virginia jurisdictions for JO years. He pointed out that that there are three means of disposing of sewage sludge: spreading it as an agricultural :>y.. fertilizer; depositing it in landfills; and incinerating it. All of the methods have "baggage' he said, but the spreading approach is the cheapest. In 1985 Rappahannock County became one of the first jurisdictions in Virginia to ban the land application of sludge. The County initially placed a moratorium on it, he said, and then, after a number of public hearings and discussions, the Board of Supervisors moved to enact a ban in the early 1990's. Two years ago the Rappahannock County ban was invalidated by a Virginia Supreme Court decision that ruled that Amelia County's ban on the land application of sludge was not legal because "if a State agency rules to regulate it, then a local jurisdiction cannot ban it.' That decision, Mr. McCarthy added, did not say anything See RLEP, Page A8 i They’re everywhere!

Chiggers are the pits! By Meredith Gorfein •2* Rappahannock News Writer There are only four good things about chiggers: they ■are horrible only in the larval stage, they don’t transWit diseases, there is usually only one generation per year ?fi our area, and it is possible to protect against them by -altaying inside from late Spring through summer or by using repellents from top to •the and never walking on or near grass. “Probably no creature on «'arth can cause as much torment for its size than the tiny chigger,” according to William Lyon in the Ohio 'State University Extension ‘Fact Sheet. 'r'.' It is in the larval stage tdiat they get us. The larva is liairy, orange-yellow or light red, has six legs and at 1/150 inches in diameter, a microscope is needed to see these critters. Popular lore says that Sniggers burrow under the ^fkin and feed on blood. One myth even has chiggers con'tinuing to burrow about through the skin until killed. ,In fact, the way they work is To catch a ride on us as we pass by. They wander about briefly looking for just the right spot. Then before you know it, they pierce the skin ahd secrete digestive “ehzymes which break down the skin cells. The chiggers feed on the fluids from the rhptured skin cells for about four days until they are fully engorged at which point they fall off. What they leave behind is a hard red welt that itches beyond description. The intense itching lasts for several days and because it is impossible to avoid scratch ing, the welt can easily become infected. So what to do? Avoidance is the preferred method. Chiggers wait for us in grass, weeds, briars and shrubbery. They prefer damp, shaded spots, but most any place we are is fine with them. If it is necessary to go outdoors in the early summer when the temperature is above 60 F, the following advice might be heeded: wear tightly woven trousers tucked into high boots; do not ever sit or recline directly on the grass; don’t wear clothing which fits tightly; do not wear possibly chigger-invested clothing until it has been laundered in soapy hot water (not warm or cool) or exposed to hot sunshine; shower as soon as possible using lots of soap. Insect repellents used carefully really do deter the chigger. Deet-based repellents only last for a few hours. The permethrin-based repellents last for several days but are for use only on clothing — not on the skin. To be effective the repellents need to be applied to the clothing openings (legs, tops of socks, collar) and to the exposed skin. Relief If you have not managed to avoid the chigger, stopping the itching is essential. The chigger’s preferred locations are at the waistline, ankles, behind the knees, in the armpits, in the crook of the elbow or in the groin. The key to stopping itching is to seal the punctured skin from air. Some remedies (which are better than fingernail polish) are calamine, Vaseline, cold cream and baby oil. Better and quicker results come from products like caladryl or hydrocortisone salves and creams which seal the skin and contain antihistamines. The pharmacist or physician can offer further advice on the various products. Prevention Other methods of beating the chiggers is to mow and keep mowed areas you intend to use. Keeping the lawns on the short side will permit sunlight and air to circulate, cutting down on the shade and moisture the chiggers prefer. If the chigger problem is intolerable, treating chigger hot spots with insecticides is a possibility. Because chiggers tend to congregate in “mite islands” it is far faster, more effective, and less expensive to treat those areas than the entire property. Ch'lorpyrifos (Dursban), carbaryl (Sevin), of diazinon when used according to the directions and with care will give control. Some “don’ts” Don’t wear dog or cat flea collars around your ankles or cattle ear tags on your shoes — chemical skin burns and toxic effects result; don’t scratch; don’t assume your much loved dog hasn’t picked up lots of chiggers and brought them into the house; don’t despair — winter will come.

He died on Saturday. For a few days the story was heading for a happy ending. Early in the morning on Tuesday, Sam Snead went out to the pasture where the llamas had spent the night and discovered “Noah” standing still holding his leg off the ground. When Mr. Snead got closer he could see Noah’s leg was swollen from above his knee to his stomach. He was afraid Noah’s leg was broken. A call was put through to Dr. Donna Matthews of Luray who came immediately. After being sedated, Noah was moved into the barn. As soon as Dr. Matthews shaved Noah’s leg, she could see that Noah had sustained two rat The family of Kinsey Wharton would like to express their sincere thanks and appreciation for the many acts of kindness shown to us during the recent loss of our loved one. jiai ii f a Saturday, July 20th at 5:30 p.m. at the gallery, Rt. 211, Amissville, VA What an awesome assemblage to be offered at auction: Fantastic fine art and engaging elderly furniture from Fairfax and Fauquier,; not to mention all the accompanying curiosities.

The venom was still oozing. The puncture wounds were widespread, indicating not only a rattlesnake, but a large one. For the next several hours, Dr. Matthews and the Sneads worked on Noah with antibiotics, ice packs and cold water baths. By 3:30 that afternoon Noah was up and moving about though very gingerly. His leg was still swollen though not as badly and the tissue around the wounds was blackened. Both the swelling and the necrotic tissue are typical of venomous snake bites. The Sneads continued to administer the antibiotics and monitor Noah’s progress. By Wednesday Dr. Matthews said the prognosis for Noah was good. Llamas are tough and quick and don’t usually come in on the losing side of a fight — one of the reasons llamas are so prized as protectors for sheep and other livestock. Noah held on as long as he could, but ultimately, the rattlesnake’s venom did its work. Noah was buried on the Snead’s property in Gid Brown Hollow on Sunday. The Sneads began breeding llamas about two years ago and have grown very attached to these animals. A note of caution from Mrs. Snead: “With this dry weather we’ve been having, the snakes are coming down from the mountains in search of water and advises additional caution near springs and ponds, standing water, outside faucets or where you keep your hoses coiled.” Now Open Daily and Fully Staffed to Serve Your Every Flowering Need We are sorry for the inconvenience of sporadic hours during the last few weeks, however, my aging parents both need my attention.

First among these was that growth must be planned and controlled through strong, clear and strictly enforced zoning regulations and must be reconciled with the County’s Comprehensive Plan. Although addressed toward the County, the view is equally important to the Town of Washington which plays a role in the overall character of the County as the County Seat and as a significant destination for tourists. In the first sense, as the home of the County’s government, it is a place of which the entire County should be proud and to which all the County citizens feel comfortable in visiting to conduct important aspects of their everyday life. In the latter sense, it represents the character of the County to the outside world. As such it should reflect the beauty and openness of the entire County and the rural nature we so love. As with the Comity, the Town of Washington has a Comprehensive Plan which provides guidance for maintaining the Town’s open spaces, its rural environment, - : and its small town quality. Through its Zoning Ordinance it establishes requirements for commercial ^ activities to occur primarily in its center, establishes a services area around the County buildings to ensure that area serves the County’s citizens, and establishes residential and rural residential areas where its residents can expect to live in peace, enjoying the spirit of the entire County, away from the commercial area in the same sense that the County has established a limited area of commercial growth in order to ensure its citizens can enjoy the open beauty of Rappahannock County. For both the County and the Town, Comprehensive Plans and Zoning Ordinances are essential to our way of life and can only be maintained by strong governments which do not bend but work diligently to strengthen the principles on which these documents are developed, thus ensuring our quality of life. Rappahannock Today Photo courtesy of Tanya M. Richey Members of the Rappahannock Hunt and their horses relax at Brookhill Farm, home of Thom Pellikaan, following their most recent trail ride. The next trail ride is set for July 20 at Greenwood, Gid Brown Hollow, Washington with a cookout following. Call Janet O’Keefe, MSH, at 547-2993 for information. * Letters Town Council needs to hear from residents 1 believe the Tbwn Council needs your help. We have an issue of tremendous importance before our Town. Please call your representatives on Council and let them know how you feel about what I am about to explain. The Council has approved three special use permits presented by The Inn at Little Washington in recent months. Those include a former residence, Dean Morehouse’s house, is now used as a gift shop. Also two cottages for overnight guests will be built behind this shop. The two cottages will eliminate The Inn employee’s “temporary” parking lot that now holds approximately 20 cars on the lot between the old Morehouse house and the Virginia Department of Health. The Inn will not say where they will be parking these cars. The Inn now owns Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern, which includes the former lighting store. The Inn also owns the Post Office and County Cafe building. This concentration of buildings is in an area of Tbwn designated for Village Mixed Use, so the part of Tbwn where businesses should be located. The Tbwn ordinance allows a maximum retail space in Village Mixed Use of 1,000 square feet per building. Anything over that amount requires a special use permit. The Inn came before Council in June requesting 1,850 of retail space in Mrs.Coxe’s Tavern and 1,950 square feet of space for offices and storage in this same building. The previous Council refused this request as it greatly exceeded the amount of allowable retail space. The Inn then returned to the new Council the following month with a new request for a special use permit for 714 square feet of the Tavern for retail space. The lighting shop was left out of the application because that retail space is technically already in existence. However, the amount of total retail space will still exceed 1,000 square feet. When asked what other uses were intended for the Tavern, the Inn representatives explained that they have not yet decided. They also said they had not yet decided about any changes to the Post Office building. Approximately 14 residents of the Town were present in the audience at the meeting, along with other concerned citizens of the The bank should not move I am writing to thank David Hafner for his eloquent and to the point letter published in the July 10 issue of the Rappahannock News. It has prompted me to take action J and express my disappoint- t: ment in the direction our local bank is going. To put it simply, I do not want the bank to move out of town. It adds a great deal to the historic nature of Washington See BANK, Page A7 County, to ask questions. We' have nearly 200 residents iff* our Town; I would like to " ‘ know how all of you feel about this and other upcoming changes in our Town. Please call the Mayor (675-1 1 3672) or me (675-1731) or anyone on Council so we cari ' be made aware of the general consensus on this issue. You^ Council members also ^ include: Steve Critzer (675-> 3346), Reinhardt Lynch (6703800), Jerry Goebel (6752032), Jeff Benson (675-22ijJ), and Claudia Mitchell (6752146). ^ If you are unable to attend Town Council meetings pleafee write a note or letter to the''*' Mayor or Town Council members expressing your thoughts on these issues. ”;f'O Alice Butler Washington -tl See More > Letters, A Page A7 From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News Down Memory Lane 39 YEARS AGO July 20,1961 A group of public spirited citizens of Amissville, Castleton and Viewtown and the surrounding area are trying hard to create enough interest to form a Ruritan Club.

Bank jFrom Page A6 iwith its small town appeal land friendly service. It’s conveniently located for our businesses, county government and many elderly walkers. ,*The architectural design of |the proposed new bank is a hodgepodge of styles not at all an keeping with our rural atmosphere. When the trees are cut down, the knoll flattened and a large blacktopped parking lot installed it will look very suburban indeed. What's to come along next in what is now a rolling hay field? Is this really progress? I urge everyone who feels as I do to take Mr. Hafner’s suggestion one step further. Yes, write to the Rappahannock National Bank and write to the Parent Bank’s Board of Directors and to the overall President of the Corporation. The address is: United Bankshares Corporation, 212 North Main Street, PO. Box 446, Bowling Green, VA 22427. I am neither a rich nor powerful person but in my frustration my only recourse is to vote with my feet and switch my accounts to another bank if Rappahannock National moves out of town. Lastly, I do not want my three children to experience the heartbreak of seeing the place they’ve grown up in and love, blacktopped, developed and spoiled forever. Robin B. Purnell Washington RAAC sponsored musical appreciated How can one describe an evening of musical magic in mere words? One can only try. First of all I must express my gratitude to RAAC, and especially to Sallie Morgan, for presenting the exceptional experience created and performed by Tom Espinola and Steve Smith “and their very musical friends” at the Theatre at Washington on Friday, July 12. We came to join a near capacity audience with normal optimistic expectations, knowing that Tom and Steve were professional rrvisicians. We had no way of anticipating how much of a treat we would be given, over two hours of sheer joy, resulting in two standing ovations. No one wanted the show to end, including the musicians. The “Very Musical Friends” were everyone’s friends and we’ll never forget what the entire ensemble added to our lives that night. With a stage full of instruments and souls full of talent the skilled musicians transferred their own enjoyment to the rest of us. They said we were a “good audience” and we were, but they made us the better for their music. I wish you could have shared our incredible delight. Maybe if we’re really good the group can be encouraged to give us another chance — so we can bring all our friends next time. If they come again, please don’t miss Tom and Steve and “Their Very Musical Friends”. Tom and Steve were musical magicians, Kristen Jones “on the pans” made steel drums sound like platinum; Joellen Perry’s voice, solo or in harmony was always a delight; Ira Gitlan on the bass and James McLoughlan on a variety of percussion instruments earned and received the special audience attention they were given. My memory is longer than most folks I know and I come from a musical heritage but I cannot remember a concert that I enjqyed this much, this side of heaven, anyway. * Bob Scott Castleton Community Fourth gathering enjoyed On July 4th last week we held a party to come together as a community, celebrate and express our gratitude for being part of this great nation. We had about 250 people attend throughout the afternoon and evening. As hot as it was the “cooling station” water spray was a popular diversion, horse shoe competition heated up as soon as the shade hit the hobs. Apple pies entered by Carolyn Dean and Barry Fletcher were both judged as outstanding by our judging panel. The bon fire after dark was enjoyed by all and complemented by youngsters dancing and jumping with sparklers. The party is not complete without a special thank you for all the people that made our event a success. Great music was contributed by the Old Rag Blues Band, John L. May and Rhythm Method. Catering provided on short notice by Rachael Roland and Magpies of Middleburg brought us some food that was a special treat. Bill Pooten was especially encouraging from the start and provided needed energy to make this happen. Thanks to Brian Ross at the Mountainside Market for the ice. I also thank Alex and Rose Ann Sharp for their generous accommodation of this idea. As we celebrated freedom, some people expressed surprise at our willingness to take on this “responsibility”. I am reminded of the important relationship between freedom and responsibility and the awesome responsibility our founding fathers took on their shoulders to start this great and historic nation. I consider shouldering the responsibility for a little party an honor and I thank everyone for coming.

RLEP From Page A1 about regulation, and so Rappahannock County began work on developing an ordinance that did so. Because of pending lawsuits by sludge haulers against some Virginia jurisdictions that have enacted ordinances to regulate the land application of sewage sludge, Rappahannock County's Board of Supervisors decided to await those decisions before taking acting on the County ordinance. Mr. McCarthy pointed to a number of bellwether issues that could determine the course Virginia Auto Group Our Guaranteed Financing ~ We Rent Cars, Trucks & Vans.

One of these is a recent Virginia Supreme Court decision in the case of Windy Hill, Ltd. vs. Chesterfield County. Though that case has to do with the dispensing of alcohol, Mr. McCarthy said that it is relevant because it addresses a local jurisdiction s right to regulate despite State licensing. In reaching a decision favorable to Chesterfield County, the Court cited the 1981 case of the City of Norfolk v. Tiny House. Inc. in which it held that the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commissions exclusive authority to license and regulate the sale and purchase of alcoholic beverages in Virginia does not preclude a municipality from utilizing valid zoning ordinances to regulate the location of an establishment selling such alcoholic beverages. Another is Senate Bill 618, which was introduced in the 2002 State legislative session, and w'as carried over to the 2003 session. The bill is currently in the Senate's Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources Committee and, if it passes from the Committee in the 2003 legislative session, Mr. McCarthy said, it stands a good chance of passage in the legislature. In a press release dated July 2, the Academy's National Research Council, Division on Earth and Life Studies, Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology, said, "U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s standards that govern using treated sewage sludge on soil are based on outdated science . .. The agency should update its standards using improved methods for assessing health risks, and should further study whether treated sewage sludge causes health problems.” Mr. McCarthy concluded that either a favorable court decision on pending lawsuits or passage of SB618 will provide Rappahannock County with the support to enact its sludge ordinance, and the National Research Council statement and the "Windy Hill" decision all help the cause. at’s right To • ' / Olds Buick Pontiac GMC *> i'< ■ *'<$r o' ' ’ ^Sagg See dealer for complete details Resignation from ARB The following is a letter submitted to the Chairman of the Washington ARB. It is with regret that I must resign my position on the Architectural Review Board. I apologize for my absences. This is why I must resign. I know that I will be out of Town often this year. I thought I could plan to be in Town for ARB meetings but will not be able to attend meetings on a regular basis. I have considered it an honor to serve on this board and deeply appreciate the time and talents that the members of the ARB spend on applications. I believe the Board serves the Town well. The ARB helps to preserve our heritage and make our Town a better living environment for all. One very important purpose the ARB serves is to make us think about what we do and how it affects and Christmas From Page A7 make sure it will be used for this purpose. Your generosity helped us send 96 children to camp in the past three years. All the funds collected will be used to help our less fortunate fits in with our neighbors. A forum for discussion of our plans and an opportunity to listen to what our neighbors think and feel. One of the reasons I. moved to Washington was because of the individual spirit of its people, their strong wills and talents cou- . pled with hard work and a desire to work together to make the future bright without tearing down the past, to look beyond tradition but still revere it, and to make this Town a comfortable place for all who choose to live here, for its beauty, its challenge and its spirit of America. I wish the Board continued success and praise their hard work in what can seem at times like a thankless job. I, for one, appreciate their willingness to do this job.

Captain Jeff Brown DARE/School Resource Officer Council From Page A1 the rest of the space in the building and asked, rhetorically, “What happens to the rest?” Mayor Willis then provided some history on the Inn’s requests for retail use and other permits, and he expressed concern about the lack of information on the use of the remainder of the space in “Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern” and on the ultimate use of the Post Office Building (owned by the Inn) and other Inn-related activities in the “busiest part of Town.” The public hearing opened with Ms. Ivanoff’s explanation of the application and the proposed use, its conformance with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan, and with the adequacy of parking (three spaces would be required). Patrick O’Connell said that the “intensity of use will be greatly diminished” (when compared to tavern traffic) and that they want to develop the property “to feel like a museum.” He concluded by asking for “the new Town Council to treat us as fairly as the previous occupant.” Public comments were largely favorable to the application, and Council comments reflected that support. Ms. Mitchell said that “The big picture is are we going to allow the Town to breathe ... to grow?” “We are obligated,” she said, “to look to the future.” Mr. Goebel said that “this plan meets the criteria of the comprehensive plan” and expressed his support for the application. Mr. Critzer encouraged votes for the application, and said that he saw no better use for the building. Mr. Benson also expressed support for the application and for the contributions that the Inn has made to the Town. Mayor Willis said that he felt “pretty much as he did last month” (when the Inn’s first application was denied) and he suggested that approval of the use would bring too much activity to the Town. He moved to request that the Inn submit a complete plan for the use of the building and his motion was seconded by Alice Butler, but was defeated by a two-to-four vote, and the application, was ultimately approved by a unanimous vote. Treasurer’s report New Town Treasurer Jerry Goebel reported on the Town’s finances, noting consolidated assets of $675,330.85, down some $33,000 from that noted in June, and water works assets of $6,427.11 through the close of the June reporting period.

For most, occupations seem to be in management/professional fields with sales and office work a distant second, followed by construction. Only eight percent are involved in the agriculture related industries. The construction and educational, health and social services industries account for 30 percent of jobs. The arts, entertainment, recreation, accommodation and food services category provides 310 jobs in the county- tyJust a beginning All kinds of pictures of Rappahannock are available from the census information and these are just snap shots. Part of the 2000 census asked some questions about where we lived in 1995. The majority seem to like where we live — enough so that when 13.9 percent moved in 1995, we simply moved from one house within the county to another; 66.1 percent lived in the same house in 1995. There are some troublesome figures in the census: 105 families living below the poverty level, 31 adults over 65, 33 children under five — a total of 530 county residents living in poverty. Other facts raise more questions than provide insight: of those 16 years and older, 1,897 are not in the labor force. More digging into the numbers might reveal youngsters still in school, women staying home to care for the children, someone independently wealthy -or disabled, or retired residents. But they might also reveal people out of work &o long they are simply no longer counted as part of the labor force. ‘ Of those officially in the labor force, 81 people in the county are unemployed. .?

A love affair that started on the honeymoon in Paris By Meredith Gorfein Rappahannock News Writer Joyous — in a word. Reveling in color. The design and texture and combinations of colors require the hands to touch as the eyes continue to be drawn to another splash of color. The subject is dish towels. And works of art. Washington’s newest business has been here for some time — it has just metamorphosed into something more butterfly-like in the last month. Robert Ballard who has been at this location for three years as R.H. Ballard Fine Aft has been joined by his wife Joan in an extension of the business. This husband and wife team make a living doing what they have a passion for. They do art. does antique and decorative rugs and original art from the likes of Renoir and Matisse; she does linens. Joan Ballard has a passion for beautiful linens, and her shop. The Ballard Home Gallery, is located downstairs, below her husband’s gallery on Main Street in Washington. What catches the eye first as you get to the bottom of the stairs is the wall of color: gorgeous French Jacquard tabjecloths covering the entire back wall, hung in such a way that it is impossible not to touch them. The pleasure of these linens comes from the colors (which can’t possibly have names) as well as the way they are combined and loomed. Le Jacquard Francais refers to the loom these linens were woven on as well as the name of the Frenchman who invented that loom and the factory in France where the linens are designed and created. The colors and intricate designs are woven into the fabric so they are beautiful on both sides — just different. In addition to Jacquard tabler Rappahannock News Photo/Meredith Gorfein TABLE CLOTHS ARE IN: Downstairs at R.H. Ballard Art Rugs Home on Main Street in Washington is a Frenchinspired home decor gallery full of beautiful items for the home. cloths in three sizes and various designs, Ms. Ballard offers matching napkins, dish towels, table runners, aprons and place mats. Other things French in her shop are delicately scented lavender soaps from Place des Lices in Provence, and eau de toilette sprays, candles and soaps from Diptyque in Paris which are all created from natural essences. Ms. Ballard’s love for linens became a passion during their honeymoon in -Faria.- Color and “odd” combinations of colors were common in France, and it was in Paris that she succumbed to Le Jacquard Francais linens. The decision to turn this fascination into a business “happened organically,” according to Ms. Ballard. She had been working in the other Washington while her husband was involved in growing his business here. They felt they had to do something together. The choice for her business came as an answer to his question, “What do you love?” Linens. And if her business didn’t take off, what was the worst thing that could happen? She would get to keep all those beautiful linens and colors and scents! It was really not a hard decision. Only problem is that her business is taking off. Joan Ballard loves what she’s doing and it is contagious. Their shops are open Thursday through Monday from 10 until 6 p.m. Clay camp Children ages six to 12 enjoyed a week long clay camp at. Sperryville Pottery recently.

Photos courtesy of Suzanne Zylonis “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” to be shown Friday By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News Peter Jackson’s loving, virtuoso transfer to the screen of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy novel, “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” gives us much to admire—the look, the special effects and the expert acting by Englishmen Ian McKellen, Sean Bean and Ian Holm. The film has real passion, real emotion, real terror and a tactile sense of evil. It shows Friday, July 19, at the Theatre on Gay Street, Washington at 8 p.m. After a prologue explaining the history of the ring, we meet our hero, Frodo (Elijah Wood), and his mentor, the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), in bucolic Hobbiton. One-hundred-elevenyear-old Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm), the current possessor of Sauron’s ring, passes it on to Frodo and unknowingly puts the boy’s life in danger. Tolkien’s mythic tale is both very simple and very intricate: in order to save the world from evil, Frodo must return the ring to the Fir4s of Mount Doom where it w’as forged-for only there can it be destroyed. To accomplish this, he must form a coalition among the races of Middle-earth-elves, dwarfs, hobbits, wizards and humans-to battle the armies of the Dark Lord. With his multispecies band of nine brothers-the * Fellowship-Frodo sets out to the land of Mordor. Jackson’s imagination -quickens at the scent of evil, as anyone who has seen his horror-comedy “Dead Alive” or “Heavenly Creatures” knows. “Fellowship” takes hold as soon as the spectral Black Riders appear, hot in pursuit of Frodo and his three hobbit pals. Soon, there are festeringfaced ores, brutal urik hai warriors and a deadly cave troll in the mines of Moria. Jackson’s camera flies like a hawk, swooping and plunging into breathtaking scenes of blood and destruction. The depiction of the. landscapes, architecture and creatures of evil is stunning. With his preternaturally wide eyes, his strong neck and his dirtcaked fingernails, Woods makes an ideal hobbit hero, at once ethereal, determined and funky. Jackson keeps his movie rooted in the earth. Two of the most passionate performances come from Viggo Mortensen as the courageous Aragorn and Sean Bean aS the conflicted warrior Boromir. McKellen is a playfully magisterial Gandalf, and he is pitted against no less a foe than Christopher Lee as wizard turned bad Saruman. The film is rated PG-13, runs 178 minutes and contains some scary battle scenes and images not suitable for the very young.

While most folks think of hamburgers and hotdogs when a cookout is mentioned, there are many other delicious foods to be enjoyed on the grill. To take advantage of outdoor cooking, it’s best to first think about the basics of grilling and barbecuing, and then plan your menu accordingly. What is “grilling,” really? It is a quick cooking process that involves high direct heat to seal in juices while creating a flavorful crust on the outer surface of the food. Fish such as Mahi-Mahi or Swordfish steaks are wonderful on the grill. Also beef cuts like Porterhouse and Rib eye steaks are perfect for grilling. And don’t forget fresh fruit such as pineapple is absolutely delicious when sliced and grilled over a fire. So what is “barbecuing”? A low heat method of indirect cooking. The heat surrounds the food being cooked, rather than being directly underneath it. This particular method involves a lot of wood smoke to cook and flavor the food. Beef brisket is very popular meat for barbecuing. Also, whole chickens or turkeys taste delicious when smoked with apple flavored wood chips. The type of grill you use is a matter of personal preference. The two most common types of cooking fuel are charcoal or propane gas. Sperryville By LISA RAMEY 9tn-*tw Depending on which grill you use there are some safety tips to remember to ensure your cookout is free of accidents and as much fun for the cook as it is for the guests. When cooking with charcoal remember an average fire uses three to four pounds of charcoal. The charcoal is ready for cooking when about 80 percent of the coals appear to have a gray coating of ashes. At night, these coals appear glowing red. To lower the heat, simply raise the grid or spread the coals around the bottom of the grill. To intensify the heat, simply lower the grid or move the coals closer together towards the center of the grill bottom. When cooking on a gas grill, check for adequate fuel prior to starting. To see how much propane is left in your cylinder, run a wet finger down the side. The wet streak will evaporate faster over the empty part of the cylinder. Always open the grill hood before lighting, and it’s best to pre-heat the grill for 15-20 minutes before using. Adjust the vents, usually located in the lid of the grill, to control the temperature. More air flowing through the grill will cause a hotter temperature. Since a hot grill is easier to clean than a cold grill, clean with a wire brush or scraper immediately after cooking. To turn the cylinder valve on and off of your propane tank, remember “rightie tightie, lefty, loosey.” After grilling, the cylinder must not be stored indoors or within any enclosed space. Take time this summer to enjoy backyard grilling and barbecuing. The next time you are at the market, pick up some fresh fish steaks or cuts of beef, a basket of delicious homegrown fruits and vegetables, and hurry home to fire up the grill. Call your friends and neighbors and tell them to meet you in the backyard — they won’t want to miss it!

But what about the lilies tall, that blaze beside the road? Their brilliant orange beyond the reach of grasses being mowed, Brightly waving their hello, to every passing car, as if their summer duty is, to enchant us from afar. ’ s And congregating in the fall, in their special ‘Lilly code,’ they promise to meet next summer, same place along the road, . I say let’s give a thank you, for this promise that they keep, for they ask nothing of us, while planning more in winter’s sleep!

From the time I came in the door both times, I was treated like their reason for being there was to make me feel better. A nurse immediately checked my vital signs, and.they made a special point to check with me regularly until a doctor could see me. “I have several family members in the medical field, apd I’m very conscious of what constitutes good healthcare.

Mr. and Mrs. Jake 1JnsJjLrincj ^UllOLUjtzti by Randy Minter FRANK TALK ABOUT DEATH When a death occurs, children can and should be included in the planning and participation of memorial ceremonies. These events help children and adults remember loved ones. Children should be encouraged to take part in those portions of the events with which they feel most comfortable. If a child wants to attend the funeral, wake, or memorial service, he or she should be given a full explanation of what to expect in advance. Not talking about death, which indicates that the subject is off limits, does not help children learn to cope with loss. When discussing death with children, explanations should be simple and direct, providing only as much truth and detail as a child is able to understand. Children understand far more than we give them credit for, which is why it is important to include them whenever possible in our discussions of what is happening in a family. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview 'Ave., Warrenton, we have resources to support you as you help your child understand loss and death. For a tour, call 347-3431. Bright View Cemetery is just outside Warrenton and offers memorials and monuments for all cemeteries. "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away. ” ~ Bible: I Peter 1:23-24 *72^£l 9 'Trtngji Boston By MARIE F.

It is made :up of photographs taken by children from ages six to 17 in eight countries, including the JJtS., to benefit the Caring For {Children Endowment Fund. |The pictures are for “sale” for a •donation of $150, mounted and !fi*amed. As one would expect, the subjects of the photographs are ;many, only a few including peoiple. One, “Boy in a Chair”, perjhaps a patient in a hospital, {catches a soulful look and may {symbolize the character of the jconcem for children the i Foundation represents at the {Georgetown University Child {Development Center, j ■ Tine Bizjak, 13 of Slovenia, •bravely represents a simple {sunset, a scene of glowing yelJlow and red. “The Sky”, anothJer of hers reveals a sun partiality obscured by dark gray i clouds. The pictures tell two {different stories. J A most beautiful and well •composed picture "by Vinka Bedekovic age six, of Croatia, is ra-display of flowers in an interjesting red and yellow cart, • standing before a gray wall dec orated with abstract designs. One thinks of William Carlos Williams poem “The Red Wheelbarrow”: “so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens.” Like most of the other pictures from India, Hanna Sarangan’s “Boy with Eggs”, registers the location of the photographer. Indian culture has resisted much influence by the West. The handsome boy carrying a tray of well arranged eggs would not be duplicated in other places. There is a black and white picture of a rose by Christina Lee Huang, aged 17, of Maryland, with remarkable definition of the flower’s petals. Nina Barry’s (aged ten, Paris, France) mysterious picture, entitled “The Wind”, looks like a close-up of what might be an elephant’s eye and part of someone’s head and hair. Added to it is the back room full of good pieces by Gallery members. The exhibition lasts until July 28 and is open on weekends.

Rain gardens improve water quality, workshop planned for Aug. 20, 21 Real Estate Directory By Martin Johnson Information/Education Coordinator Have you ever considered planting a rain garden? A rain garden is a simple, beautiful and functional way to improve the landscape and improve local water quality. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, up to 70 percent of the pollution in our surface waters comes from stormwater. Rainfall runs off roofs, parking lots and lawns, washing away accumulations of sediment and other pollutants such as fertilizers, pesticides and motor oil, which are then carried to the nearest stream. Rain gardens are constructed on a low spot below an area over which stormwater run-off tends to flow. Immediately above the garden, a grass strip slows run-off and filters out some of the particles it carries. The garden plays the role of a shallow pond or marsh for a few days after it rains, holding three to six inches of excess run-off long enough let plants, bacteria, and soils clean the water as it seeps down and recharges local groundwater. Attractive native groundcover, shrubs and trees are used in the rain garden, which thrive on excess nutrients that are harmful to surface waters, and provide habitat for local wildlife. A thick layer of mulch, acts as a filter, and holds moisture for the garden during diy spells. The soil below is mixed with sand and compost, continuing the filtering process. The concept is simple enough for anyone with some green space to put into practice. A symposium titled “Conservation Through Rain Gardens” will be held on Aug. 20 and 21 in Charlottesville. The first day will cover the benefits of rain gardens and how to construct them. On the second day, participants will install a rain garden and go on a case study tour. If you have questions about the program, please contact Janice Doyle at (434) 979-9900 or e-mail BDoyle7@ aol.com.
