Wayland Monday, Aug. 26 was the first day of school for children in the Rappahannock County Public School System.

Miss Liz Eastham, an aide at RCES, is busy working with the younger children as they prepare for the first day. Local services expand with newly created partnership By Meredith Gorfein Rappahannock NewB Writer How often is there a win-win situation when it comes to needs and services and funding, especially when the needs are local, the services are provided by the state and the funding is federal? Well, Rappahannock’s Department of Social Services has created just that. The Revenue Maximization program (Rev Max) has at its core the prevention of out-of-home placements, ie. foster care, and gets federal funds to do it. Rev Max is a project of Virginia’s Department of Social Services (DSS). Rappahannock’s DSS was one of the earliest to see its potential (and endure the stringent and seemingly convoluted requirements) and to participate. Because Rev Max is a state program which is optional, some county social service departments chose not to participate. Revenue maximization is exactly the idea; however, as Bev Leathers, Rappahannock County DSS Director, r admitted, it is complicated to explain and tc implement. In actual fact, she said, “It’s like trying to nail jello to a wall.” The idea is that revenue spent will be recouped from the federal government as long as that money helps the program expand. Put in another way, the county and state funds spent by the DSS on “eligible” participants in “eligible” activities can be “recovered” with federal funds as long as that money expands. It’s almost like yeast. As Ms. Leathers said, we can do “more stuff for the same amount of money.” Now how often does that happen? It happened here, but not easily. Ms. Leathers is very proud of the way Rappahannock has created its Rev Max project. She credits the “wonderful collaborative effort” between DSS, the schools, the probation department and the Healthy Families program of the Health Department. She explained that each Social Services department in the state can A service of remembrance September 11 Washington Baptist and Trinity Episcopal churches invite the community to a service of prayer and remembrance with special music on this first anniversary. The service will be at 7:30 p.m. at Trinity Church in Washington. A reception will precede the service at 7 p.m. "Please join us for this important moment in our common life. We especially invite all public safety workers to join us," said organizers. Camp Fantastic children enjoy “fantastic” night By Jan Besecker and Bev Atkins On Tuesday evening, Aug. 20, children who were participating in Camp Fantastic at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center enjoyed food and entertainment provided by restaurants, businesses, individuals, and civic clubs in and around Rappahannock County. This was the 20th year that Camp Fantastic, a camp for children between the ages of 7 and 17 who are cancer patients at NIH, has been conducted. Camp Fantastic is sponsored by Special Love, Inc. Along with the 100 plus campers, doctors, nurses, and 4-H teen leaders who serve as camp counselors attended camp. We work with a great group from the community to plan this event each year. This year, our committee consisted of Sandra Jenkins, Ester Settle, Jan Makela, Marie Davis, and Bruce Jones and Richard Judd from the Lions Club. The committee chose a 60’s theme for this year’s Rappahannock Night. Volunteers put together “tie dye bags” that were given to each camper See CAMP, Page A4 choose to be involved in Rev Max, can choose its own partners (or none), and can write its own program. It must simply live within some very tedious, numbers-crunching, tightly defined and complicated mazes of parameters. Ms. Leathers knew the end result would be worth it. To date Rappahannock’s Rev Max program has earned $128,000 in federal dollars for money already spent in Rappahannock by the county and state over the past two years on very specific activities relating to the prevention of out-of-home placements. The pilot for the Revenue Maximization program began over three years ago with several social services departments (Albermarle and the Tidewater areas) working with the federal government. Ms. See SERVICE, Page A8 Planners approve Packing Shed reuse By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer After some heated discussions the Planning Commission okayed, by a vote of five-to-one, a recommendation of approval for the adaptive reuse of Foster’s Packing Shed as a woodworking shop. The application for the reuse of the shed, located at the intersection of Routes 522 and 630 north of Flint Hill, was presented by current owner James E. Yates, III and prospective lessor Ed Steshoski. Mr. Yates noted that the building was Ideated in an agricultural zone and that he “had to make a decision as whether to raise pigs or do woodworking” on the site, suggesting that Mr. Steshoski’s proposed use was clearly preferable. Mr. Steshoski said that he intended to use the facility for cabinet making, and that the shop would not accommodate more than one or two workers. The public hearing on the issue began with a note of support from neighbor Russ Skovill. Mr. Skovill described the facility as an agricultural “market interface” when it served as an apple packing shed, and said that it would remain an interface, “between quality manufacturing and commerce,” should the application be approved. Flint Hill resident Bob Dennis said that he is not opposed to the proposed adaptive reuse of the shed, but had questions about how the Commission would handle the application amidst “allegations of mission creep” and about the conversion of the site from “agricultural” to “commercial.” He added that he thought that the proposed use was not an adaptive reuse, but a “retro-use,” since the facility had been a cooperage in the early Twentieth century and its conversion to a woodworking shop was in line with that earlier iteration.

WCDS teachers enjoy Monart session By Barbara Sherwood Special to the Rappahannock News Wakefield Country Day School teachers of the lower and middle school, as well as our full-time art teacher, Marcy Lauben, participated in an all day workshop in the Monart Method of Drawing on Friday, Aug. 23, in Flint Hill. Each teacher received a copy of Mona Brookes’ book Drawing With Children. Karen Price, a licensed Monart trainer and art teacher, came down from Pennsylvania in a car loaded with art supplies and a vast array of colorful student work. The level of skill and individual expression amazed all who saw the work on the walls and tables of the auditorium. The evening before, Ms. Price presented this method and its benefits to the parents and gave a hands-on demonstration, leading parents and children in a drawing of a toucan. “Seeing is believing,” she said. The Monart Method was developed by art education specialist Mona Brookes in 1980. It is widely used in both public and private schools on the West Coast. Wakefield Country Day School is one of the first schools on the East Coast to implement this method in its curriculum. The method teaches children (and adults) of all ages how to draw by seeing the lines that create shape. Every shape is made of a combination of straight lines, curved lines, angled lines, circles and dots. These families of lines are called “the alphabet of shape” in Monart Schools. The visual discrimination developed by the method leads to a visual literacy which supports a child’s learning of reading, writing and comprehension of math. Increased attention spans, increased problem solving skills and increases in as much as 20 percent in reading, writing, and math scores have been noted in studies done of schools using this method. Fundamentally the method gives enough structure for success and enough freedom for creativity in a quiet and safe environment. It eliminates competition, judgement and fear. Arbitrary words like good, bad, better, mistake, right and wrong are replaced with words that describe individual differences in a positive way. How many of us say, “I can’t draw,” or relate experiences that froze our enjoyment of drawing at a young age, never to be attempted again? More than one voice was heard Friday morning saying, “I can’t draw!” By leading the Wakefield teachers in five drawings which they developed individually, using pastel, colored pencils and magic marker, Karen Price taught these adults how to draw. Teachers drew mixed media drawings of a monkey, a Native American Indian maiden, a toucan, and an iris. Music which complemented the subject matter was played softly in the background as the teachers worked/played. A drawing of a turtle was developed from the beginning by the teachers themselves. They were taught how to break down the lines they saw into the alphabet of shape. All felt confident after this lesson that they could do the same for their classes. Ms. Price’s ability to present and communicate this method was credited by her own experience as a teacher. All lower and middle school classes will be using the Monart Method in developing projects to support their studies of science, literature, foreign language, history and math. With the addition of a twice weekly art class, the students at Wakefield will be well on their way to confidence and self esteem in their own natural creative abilities, flourishing far beyond what was once considered “normal.” Wakefield Country Day School is proud to have a supportive administration and open-minded faculty to ensure that this seed will grow. The Monart Method is a method of drawing which touches the heart of the child—young and old.

The Rainbow Bridge Rappahannock Youth Theatre is now fully organized as a nonprofit educational arts program for youth ages five through 24. They have an organizational structure which they helped devise and rehearsal space at the Rappahannock County High School auditorium. The Ki Theatre has offered its support for the project by putting up money to get it started and donating the space for the After School workshops this fall. The first production of the Rainbow Bridge Youth Theatre will be an original work created by the young people. Called Legends of the Riainbow Bridge, it will take place in October at the High School. Two workshops, led by Jean Elizabeth and held at Ki Theatre, will continue the creation of this play. The workshops with eight weekly sessions on Tuesday or Friday from 4 until 5:15 p.m. will begin the week of Sept. 3. The Tuesday sessions are open to children ages five through 11. The sessions for 12 through the teen years take place on Friday. The beginnings Jean Elizabeth is the adult “guiding hand” and Director behind this youth theatre, but it is they who are in charge and provided the start-up juices. It was they who needed the theatre. Almost all of the founding members of the Rainbow Bridge Youth Theatre had worked with Ms. Elizabeth on numerous productions at the High School like the Birds and Midsummer Night’s Dream and other workshops or plays at Ki Theatre. They loved the camaraderie and the focussed work which went into putting all the pieces of a production together, and they See RAINBOW, Page A7 Photo courtesy of Jean Elizabeth Before there was the Rainbow Bridge Rappahannock Youth Theatre, these young people decided there needed to be one.

The two top scholars look forward By Meredith Gorfein Rappahannock News Writer Holly Long and Garner Smythe are competitors and they enjoyed their competition for academic first place in the 2002 graduating class of Rappahannock County High School. Both will tell you that it mattered to them who won. And both worked hard for that prize. These two young people are graceful and humble in their winning and in their significant achievements. These conversations with them took place just before they went off to college. Garner Smythe, Salutatorian Garner Smythe was heading for Villanova in Philadelphia the next day, and was he excited? “I can’t wait!” The whole room lit up with his excitement. The thing he’s most looking forward to is being part of the ROTC “unit” and the camaraderie. Villanova graduates more officers than any other university except for the Naval Academy. Being a part of something was really important to him. Garner comes from a military family, travelled all over the world, and was in three different high schools in four years. As a result he never got to have any really close friends — until this year. He met his girlfriend here and “she’s the closest friend I’ve ever had.” Would he have preferred to stay put more often? Not really. He liked the travelling and it gave him the opportunity to develop the skill of making friends quickly. He’s sure that will come in handy soon. He li be a business management major on a ROTC scholarship. His scholarship pays his tuition for four years and gives him a monthly allowance. Of course for that he has to maintain his grades and meet strict physical fitness standards. He also will' take two ROTC courses every semester, has to wear a uniform once a week, and every summer for those four years he’ll give one month to the Marines for training. At the end of those four years, he’ll graduate and enlist as an officer in the Marine Corp. Garner has always been involved in sports and played soccer everywhere he lived. He said it was great coming to a small school like Rappahannock because he got to try out some new sports, like wrestling which he did for his two years here. It was a lot of fun, and he felt it helped him become more well-rounded. Sitting is very tough for Garner, and he doesn’t read as much as he thinks he should; he just can’t sit still Open auditions scheduled for the Shepherds’ Play By Claudia Mitchell Special to the Rappahannock News The Ki Community Theatre will be holding open auditions for this season’s performances of The Shepherds’ Play on Sunday, Sept. 22. The open auditions will held at the Ki Theatre on Gay Street from 2 to 4 p.m. Everyone interested in participating in the play is encouraged to attend. We are lpoking for actors, singers, musicians, and stage hands who want to share in this wonderful community event. There are openings for everyone from nine to 90 and experience in theatre is not required. The play will be performed during the RAAC sponsored “A Christmas in Little Washington" on Dec. 6,' 7 and 8. The community is encouraged to join the group for a very rewarding experience in community theater. For more information leave a message at the Ki Theatre office, 6751616. Holly Long long enough, but he’s going to work on that. Garner is very competitive and thinks that’s good. When he was little, he had a fear of failure, but he feels he’s grown through that. The competition with Holly for number one was great fun. Now he says simply, “I need to do well.” That’s just who he is. His family, and especially his dad, have been important influences on Garner. “You have to earn it,” is a familiar phrase from his father. For Garner, a statement by John Paul Jones has made great sense to him: “I can not guarantee success, but I will endeavor to deserve it.” What would he like to say to the students he’s leaving behind? “Don’t sell yourself short. There’s a lot out there to see.” He urged them not to take school too lightly. In closing he said “the sky’s the limit!” and it was obvious that this young man knew that was true. Holly Long, Valedictorian Holly Long learned an important lesson in her senior year which she hopes will inform her behavior for the rest of her life. She’s a huge procrastinator and always has been. She always got away with it because “I picked up things really quickly,” so she could always wait until the last minute. Not so last year. She chose a very challenging year with more than a full load: AP Government, AP English, Calculus, Biology II, Chemistry II, Physics and Band. Band could be a challenge? She made it that way. She had always played the Flute, but this year she wanted to learn the French Horn, so she did. Holly has worked on weekends and during the JENKINS ORCHARDS Quality Fruit Hours: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Bring your own containers Directions: Fiom Culpeper on Rt. 522, left at Yancey Road, approximately 2 miles. From SperryviHe, Rt 522, right at Yancey Road. 2 miles. Watch for signs. Woodville m f540J 987-8192 Garner Smythe summers ever since tenth grade. This year was no exception. She said, “My parents wanted me to learn the value of money.” She agrees with her parents that “you’re never going to learn things if you don’t do them yourself.” Last year she learned about the pitfalls of procrastination. This procrastinator with a heavy load stressed and took it out on everything, including her family. She said she never had any fun and she worried all the time. She’s incredulous that her parents put up with her. Somewhere midway through the year, she gave herself a good talking to and settled down. She said, “Everything turned out okay and my parents still love me.” So far her procrastinator days seem over. She was all packed for school a week in advance! Holly is heading for the University of New Haven (UNH) in Connecticut with a double major in Forensic Science and Pre Med. There are only nine universities in the United States which offer a major in forensic science, and UNH is considered the top school. She won the highest scholarship UNH awards, a half-tuition scholarship which is dependent on consistent good grades. That means maintaining a 3.1 average. Her schedule is already overloaded with the 19 semester hours required for forensic science majors. And she plans to work, and continue with her French Horn studies. She thinks it’s possible* that the French Horn might have to play second fiddle to something. She’s excited and easily admits to a bit of nervousness. Perhaps in order of importance she mentioned looking forward to "learning all the ‘new stuff*, meeting new people and living in the city.” (UNH is right in the city of New Haven.) What will she miss? Holly will miss her sister Amber. She’d love to see her as she goes through high school. Amber is in eighth grade, and the night before Holly left for school, Amber went through orientation at the high school. They’re completely opposite according to Holly. Amber is laid back, into sports, and doesn’t strive to do well, she just does. “She rolls more easily than I do.” And Holly will miss her friends. Rereading her farewell speech to the 2002 graduating class, she found herself admitting, “I’m going to miss it.” What advice would she like to share? “Don’t let people tell you who you are —make yourself Don’t underestimate yourself. Push yourself to do better than you can.” And from her valedictory speech she asked that this be shared: “I challenge all of you to exceed your personal limitations in everything you do. If you do this, you will always gain victory and improve yourself.” Holly Long and Gamer Smythe were at the top of their class academically. They worked hard and have very bright futures ahead of them. They seem to know who they are and they seem comfortable with the person they are making. They are determined to succeed on their own terms. Shorin-Ryu OKINAWAM Wednesday al Ki Theater (Jay St„ Washington, VA. Adult Classes - Mon. 5-6:30 PM.

SPORTS Wrestling gets a foothold in County By Jim Wells Special to the Rappahannock News With the start of the new school year, wrestling in Rappahannock will begin preparations for its third season. In its first two years, this new program has accomplished much to be proud of and has made converts among some fine student athletes. Certainly the highlight of last season was Garner Smythe’s sixth place finish in the State Championships. Over the course of the season, Rappahannock had four wrestlers with over twenty wins: Brian Brown 25-13, John Fedetta 23-10, Garner Smythe 23-10 and Jeremy Graves 28-7. The team also did very well. In dual meet competition, Rappahannock was 1215. In the four regular season tournaments, Rappahannock took second place at Riverheads, third at Amelia, eighth in the Newsleader and fifth at Stuarts Draft. While that was a respectable record for a second year program, Rappahannock struggled in its competition against its opponents in the highly regarded Bull Run district, finishing just 1-6. Moving to new level The new wrestling room, built entirely without school funds, will provide a huge advantage over practicing in the elementary school cafeteria. With this permanent room, wrestlers can hone their skills during the critical off season. (Trying to learn the skills of a champion by wrestling only during the Virginia High School League season is daunting.) For the typical wrestler, training for a championship means off season tournaments, weight training and conditioning. For Rappahannock this is now a reality. The new room will play a major role in the careers of all Rappahannock wrestlers. The next step In golf there is a saying that if you want to be better, you should have started sooner. Wrestling is no different. Starting late and playing catch-up is always discouraging. For our current high school wrestlers there is no choice; but for younger wrestlers — ihere is still no choice. Without a middle school program, our wrestlers are forced to start at a lower level than other schools. Rappahannock does have some young wrestlers who are starting sooner — by competing with a team in Culpeper. Youth wrestlers such as Conner Miller and Gregory Flournoy are enjoying success, but they ought to be competing for Rappahannock not Culpeper. With this in mind, the school has approved the start of a middle school program, but with one condition: the school will not purchase a mat. No mat equals no program. With the cost a new mat at $6,000, the possibility of a new program still remains just a possibility. Fund raising is underway but still short of this goal and time is running out. Reasons to contribute Many people are not familiar with wrestling and would not consider contributing to a sport they are not connected to. The young men mentioned in this article will say it is not the sport getting that contribution; it is the students participating in the sport. Wrestling is considered by many to have the greatest impact of all sports. Rappahannock had four seniors this past year who certainly represent what the sport has to offer. John Ferdetta wrestled in the 125pound weight class and will be attending Virginia Tech this fall in computer science. The central theme in his college application essay could have been placing first in the state in remote controlled robotics, but he chose wrestling instead. Garner Smythe wrestled in the 145-pound weight class in addition to being an outstanding soccer player, running cross-country and graduating second in his class academically. Garner will be attending Villanova this fall on a full four-year ROTC scholarship. Houston Haynes wrestled at 152 and is the only one of the four to choose a path other than college. His choice is to become a U.S. Navy Seal. When the Navy recruiter paid a visit to the wrestling program last year, he spoke about what it takes to become a Navy Seal. He concluded by saying that 75 percent of the young men who become Seals are wrestlers. He felt the mental and physical toughness instilled by the sport of wrestling prepares young men better than any other sport. The fourth senior was Steve Von Fange. Steve wrestled at 171 and will be attending Embrey-Riddle University, the number one flight school in the United States. When asked about some of his accomplishments in high school, he will mention wrestling and getting his pilot license, but it is wrestling that is engraved on his senior ring. Wrestling clearly had a great impact on these young men. Contributions by the Rappahannock community toward the purchase of a mat for the middle school wrestling program will help Rappahannock get to the next level. Every year a new group of middle school boys will be able to start sooner. Contributions are being accepted at Baldwin’s and 211 Quicke Mart stores, the high school(987-8575) or by contacting Coach Jim Wells (547-3407) 14484 Hitt Mountain Road, Boston, Va. 22713. The curious are invited to come by the new wrestling room. The First home meet is Dec. 8.

RCHS loses to Brentsville team By Jlm Oyster Special to the Rappahannock News The Panther golf team played a match against Brentsville on Wednesday, Aug. 21, at Country Club of Culpeper. Brentsville appears to be the top team in the District. They shot an excellent 319, their top four players averaging in the 70’s. Brian Taylor led the way for the Panthers with an 82, followed by Mike Fairbrother who shot an 83. Ralph Pace shot an 89 and Jacob Dodson had a 91. The team’s score is determined by adding the best four scores from each team. The total for Rappahannock was 345. Mike Cannon had a 107 and Ben Hahn had a 112 to round out the field. The next match is August 28 against Manassas Park at General's Ridge golf course. Also participating in practices during the past week were Tyler Hartman, Robyn Pivamik, and Erin Opseth.

Monday-Friday Member, Audit Bureau of Circulations www.timescommunity.com THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 2002 Our View Celebrate Labor Day Labor Day is always the first Monday in September and is dedicated in honor of the worker. It is sometimes referred to as the “workingman’s holiday”. The holiday is dedicated to all in honor and appreciation for the work that you do. The first Labor Day was celebrated on Sept. 5, 1882 in New York City and was started by the Labor Union there. Starting in 1884, it was moved to the first Monday in September and has since been observed on that day. The U.S. Congress voted it a national holiday on June 28, 1894. But for lots of us it is viewed as the official end of the summer season. Children are back in school and vacation season is over. Many celebrate the weekend with a family gathering, a last picnic or a gathering at a swimming pool before it closes for the season. Whatever you decide to do and especially if your travels take you to the highway, be extremely careful and remember that long holiday weekends are a peak time for traffic accidents. Remember to observe speed limits, buckle up and make sure all occupants are wearing a seat belt and don’t drink and drive. During the 2001 Labor Day holiday weekend six people died in six separate crashes in the state of Virginia. According to the Department of Motor Vehicles those deaths were caused by failure to wear seat belts, alcohol use and speeding. Enjoy the holiday weekend and get ready for new challenges as we approach the start of another season here in beautiful Rappahannock County. Rappahannock Today Photo courtesy of Caro! Marangom Members of the RappahannocK Quilting group will start their new season on Sept. 10 and invites other Rappahannock residents to join. The group meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 9 a.m. at the Rappahannock Library on US 211. The group will begin by making a Log Cabin block and quilting it. Whether you have quilted before or would like to learn to quilt, all are welcome to join. For more information contact Charlotte Laing at 937-3511. Letters Meetings, meetings, and more meetings In any given month, there are many public meetings which take place in Rappahannock County. There is a smorgasbord of topics to choose from. Some are of public interest, others are of more personal interest. Then, there are those held monthly or quarterly by the various organizations residing in the County. Which to attend is always the question for those folks that do go to meetings. Well, for those who chose to attend two recent meetings held as public information and education sessions were not disappointed. On Friday, Aug. 16, two County organizations got together and put on a, most informative program about conservation easements. The state has enacted legislation that provides tax incentives for landowners who would give a conservation easement on their property. Information about these incentives was presented by several of our neighbors who have given easements or intend to give easements. These “case studies” were useful in understanding the easement process as well as the thinking that folks did to bring them to their conclusions. Most helpful information. The second meeting, on Monday, Aug. 19, discussed a timely topic which most of us living and working in the County would do well to know more about. “Soil Disturbance” (like sludge) is not a glamorous topic, but it is one that will impact the way we work our land when the county decides to require permits and enforce the provisions in order to control erosion and the resulting sediment. Certain provisions that have been state law for many years were revised in 1999 and again in July 2001. The county’s current policy for erosion and sediment control has not been satisfactory and does not comply fully with state law. This topic is expected to be on the Board of Supervisors agenda for their September meeting. This just may be one of those meetings folks should choose to attend. Yes, there are many meetings held in the County: public meetings, organization meetings, political meetings and just for fun meetings. We choose to attend those which interest us most. Perhaps we should also choose those that provide information about how we live and what we do and how we will be able to do it. All of these meet ings are announced in this newspaper. Tb be part of what is happening now and anticipated to happen in the future, we could give these meetings a try in order to be informed and not surprised when we come face to face with a change in our life style. Oh, come this Fall, the Planning Commission intends to conduct public forums in each district to hear residents’ comments about the county’s Comprehensive Plan. You may want to help decide your future... maybe, attend these meetings? Bob Lander Castle ton See More Letters, Page A7 Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 41 YEARS AGO Aug. 30, 1961 Treasurer Charlie Compton reported this week that Amissville Fire Company grossed $9,762.41 from the annual carnival held the middle of August. This annual fund raising event was very successful, though a capacity attendance was not had as compared to former years. Harrison Powers of Amissville has just returned from a week of forestry training at the Jamestown 4-H Camp. He is the first Rappahannock 4-H member to attend the 4H Forestry Camp, the first of its kind in Virginia. The ordination of Rev. Maxwell Butler, pastor of Piedmont Baptist Church, will be held on Sunday, Sept. 3 at 2 p.m. at the church. Miss Virginia Lee Smith, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lee Smith of Spring House Farm, Washington, will be a student at Virginia Intermont College, Bristol this fall. While in high school, Miss Smith was a member of the Drama Club, Red Cross, Music Appreciation Club, Science Club and was active in several other activities. The annual Pullen family reunion was held Aug. 26 at Willis Chapel. Mrs. Fannie Eastham reports that a wonderful time was had by all. Mrs. Eastham’s father and grandfather were both ministers at Willis Chapel. 25 YEARS AGO Sept. 1, 1977 The median income for Rappahannock families will be $12,999 by 1980, according to projections by Tayloe Murphy Institute economist Dr. John Knapp. The 1980 estimate is more than double the 1969 median county income of $6,077 and over 43 percent higher than the $9,073 median in 1975. Summer track participants from Rappahannock brought home a table full of trophies and ribbons from meets in adjoining counties. Among those who took part in the program were Rhonda Wiley, Stephen Wiley, Marc Wiley and Kathy Jenkins. Vivian Gatewood was pictured holding a 12 pound—14 ounce cushaw that was raised in the family garden as part of her son Jeffrey’s summer scouting project for Troop 65. Forester Tippy Jenkins recently presented the Amissville Fire Company a $200 check which aided the company in the purchase of a mobile radio. Fire Chief Russell Pullen accepted the check, a portion of a federal grant administered by the Virginia Division of Forestry. This is the last of a three-year program in which a total of $177,000 has been distributed among the 400 volunteer fire departments in Virginia. 10 YEARS AGO Sept. 3, 1992 Rappahannock County celebrated the 10th anniversary of Camp Fantastic, Special Love’s hallmark project held at Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center in Front Royal on Aug. 18 with a birthday party, complete with balloons, streamers, costumed clowns, face painters and presents for each camper. For the last several years, Rappahannock County has sponsored an evening at the camp. This year 87 campers from NIH, camp doctors and counselors attended the event. Kinsey M. Wharton of Amissville was recently recognized for 20 years of service with the Virginia Department of Transportation. Mr. Wharton is a mechanic at the Warrenton residency shop in Warrenton. During his VDOT career, Mr. Wharton has been recognized for his safety and work record. Five generations of descendants of John Daniel and Homiselle Caroline Warner gathered at Twin Maples, the home of E. Franklin and Dorothy E. Warner in Scrabble after the annual homecoming celebration at the Shiloh Baptist Church in Woodville. Karen Anne Smith, 14, daughter of Gary and Judy Lillard Smith of Tempe, Ariz. and granddaughter of Mrs. Mabel Lillard of Flint Hill recently returned from Russia where she participated in the “People to People” program as a student ambassador.

Clarification re: Clean power I feel I must respond to the article by Mr. Don Audette in the Rappahannock News on July 24, 2002. In the article it was stated that part of the overall pollution problem was the increase in pollution from fossil-fueled power plants. It is important that the information regarding pollution from power plants be reported correctly. As reported in the EPA National Air Quality and Emissions Trends Report for 1999, while the production of electricity has increased 248 percent since 1970 and Coal use by 370 percent, the emissions of sulfur dioxide, NOx, and partic ulate have been reduced by 66 percent, 24 percent and 85 percent respectively. In 1970, 24 million tons/year of emissions were released, in 2000, only 15 million tons of pollution was released while coal use increase from 320 million tons in 1970 to 991 million tons in 2000. In the United States, it is not the power plants that are fouling the air, it is the automobile and trucks that are the culprits. John Byam Morgantown, W.Va. formerly of Washington, Va. Issues and choices The letter to the Rappahannock News on Aug. 22 from Charles B. Cunningham, Director of Federal Affairs, National Rifle Association, about Candidate Ben Jones’ voting record on guns, tells us several things it is important for us to know: 1. Ben Jones’ candidacy is getting national attention. 2. We can see how the NRA works to deceive people about their interests; far from being concerned with “gun rights” and “hunting heritage”. NRA wants to promote the sale of guns. Three of Ben Jones’ votes that Mr. Cunningham lists have to do with the sale of hand guns and “semi-automatic firearms”. How many hunters use those weapons for hunting? What do the votes have to do with gun rights or hunting heritage? The other two concerns hunting at Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge and the Mojave National Monument. How many hunters in the 7th Congressional District would be affected by prohibitions on hunting in those places? In any case, it is most likely that hunting in those places may not be called for. 3. The computer makes “camera ready copy” easily available to many newspapers in the 7th District with little effort on the letter writer’s part. This is one way a powerful national lobby like the NRA can intrude itself into many communities, including ours, on the assumption that our hunters can’t distinguish between their own interests and those of gun merchants. 4. All rights bring with them responsibilities. Gun owners and hunters know that as well as they know that the right to own and to drive a car requires that both car and driver be licensed, and, in addition, cars must be inspected and drivers must obey the rules of the road for the protection of us all. 5. From what Mr. Cunningham has to tell us, Ben Jones’ voting record shows that he thought about the issues and made the right choices. Diana W. Bird Washington Camp Fantastic committee expresses thanks We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who played a part in this year’s Rappahannock Night at Camp Fantastic. Once again, it was a huge success! The committee — Sandra Jenkins, Marie Davis, Ester Settle, Jan Makela, Bruce Jones, and Richard Judd - were invaluable in planning this event. Charlotte Tummeyer, Karla Miller, and Barry Tummeyer offered facepainting, and Penelope, the clown, tirelessly worked to entertain everyone. Captain Jeff Brown was there with a snow cone machine and he and Don Corbin kept the snow cones coming all evening. Howard Massey provided cotton candy, and music was provided by Blues Fuze. Roger and Debbie Flinchum and Michael Besecker were our photographers. The many restaurants, individuals, and civic clubs who made donations include: Bleu Rock Inn, The Public House, Pizza Hut, Melting Pot, Mountainside Market, Muskrat Haven, The Country Cafe, Ron and Jan Makela, Pete and Sandra Jenkins, Maybelle Gilkey, Settle’s Grocery, Ester Settle, Arland Welch, TTie Inn at Little Washington, Rae’s Place, Rappahannock Lions Club, Alice Pullen, The American Cancer Society, Rappahannock National Bank, BB&T Bank at Flint Hill, Persimmon Springs Florist (Donna Brune), Dorothy Hackley, Frances Foster, Edward and Carol Hackley, Frank and Edie Fishback, The Encouragers Sunday School Class, The Adult Sunday School Class, Hal Creel, Tim Sites, and other anonymous donors.

The letdow-n that came after a production was over was greater for these young people because there was nothing that followed. No auditions scheduled, no production in the works or even in the pipeline. Calls came from the parents as well, wanting to know what was happening, when would there be another production or workshop or something? Ms. Elizabeth said the need was so obviously great for an on-going theatre that “it was clearly time to do something.” With the spring, she approached Ki Theatre and won their support. This past July the creation of a youth theatre began with a meeting of Sara Dodd-Henze, Arlen Sherwood, Ellie, Emma, and Albert Dodd-Henze, Devin Sherwood, Dawn Andreoni, Alyssa Berry and Ms. Elizabeth. They talked and began shaping the kind of theatre and organization they wanted. These teens wanted to create a theatre that would last beyond them (Arlen referred to it as a legacy), that would be an inspiration to the young people of the community. They wanted to create an organization that would encourage involvement and nurture the creative process. The structure The organizational structure they devised is made up of several pieces: a 12-member Teen Council and a six-member Youth Advisory. The Teen Council, with Sara Dodd-Henze as Leader, is involved in the creative direction and management of the theatre. The Youth Advisors (ages 11 through 15) work with the younger members. The Board of Directors deals with the non-profit fiscal management of the theatre. ( The Rainbow Bridge Youth Theatre is continuing to search locally for additional members to the Board.) Additionally, a Resource Council is forming for adults in the community with skills and talents which might help support the Theatre. The legacy The Rainbow Bridge Youth Theatre is planning four productions a year, summer camps next year in lighting, acting, costume design, play writing, and stage design and specialized workshops given by professionals during the year. Julia Baumgardner, 16, wrote that “theatre ... allows me to find a common trait between a character and myself, and through this it helps me to understand others better.” “Understanding others better” is part of the theme and the work going on now during rehearsals for Legends of the Rainbow Bridge. The cast is exploring legends from other countries and cultures, sifting through them, finding similar threads, and selecting ones that they are especially drawn to. From those legends they will create their own story and perhaps the start of a legacy. For more information call Jean Elizabeth at 9879727.

The opener for the season sees the return of two celebrated jazz guitarists from New York, Gene Bertoncini and Frank Vignola, on Sept. 21. Two further jazz performances will come up later in the season. The witty and gifted pianist John Eaton returns to the Theatre in October, followed in November by "Brazilian Nights,” in which the Joe Byrd Quintet plays a musical tribute to Joe s brother, the late Charlie Byrd. Many of the Brazilian melodies to be heard were brought to the U.S. by Charlie Byrd during his long career. Chamber music lovers will have to wait until November to hear the first in the new season of performances in the Smithsonian at Little Washington series - a concert titled "Music from the Court of Louis XIV." On a Sunday afternoon later in November, Grammy Award winning pianist Lambert Orkis and violinist Lisa Beth Lambert, of the Philadelphia Orchestra, will play the first of three concerts covering Mozart s 16 sonatas for violin and piano. (The remaining concerts in the Smithsonian at Little Washington series, and the second of the Mozart sonatas concerts can be heard next spring. > Each fall Celtic music fans look forward to the return of the much loved duo Barnes and Hampton, playing Celtic harp, guitar, lute and uillean pipes. This year their concert will be heard on Oct. 19. The final weekend of October brings two performances of Steve Martin's comedy/drama, "Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” in a production by Georgetown University’s Mask and Bauble Society. Set in 1904 at the Parisian cabaret-bistro, "The Lapin Agile,” the play revolves around an imaginary debate between a passionate Pablo Picasso and a fiery Albert See THEATRE, Page A8 The great surgical hospital...

Planners From Page A1 Mr. Dennis, Phil Irwin and Don Audette also expressed concern about access to the site from Route 522 and about traffic turning onto Route 630, and they all supported the construction of a deceleration lane in the front of the building and access to the site from the Route 630 side. County Zoning Administrator John McCarthy noted that a deceleration had been proposed in VDOT’s Six Year Road Plan “six or seven years ago” but had been turned down by the Board of Supervisors. He also expressed his opinion that funding was unlikely for such a project at this time. After the close of the public hearing, Board of Supervisor’s Representative Ron Frazier suggested that limits be placed on the number of employees and on outside storage so that concerns about business growth would be dealt with now, and he also agreed with the suggestion that access be from Route 630. Commissioner Werner Krebser said that he hated “to rain on the parade again,” and voiced his opposition to the proposed reuse on a number of grounds. He said that the application did not meet the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan nor of the Zoning Ordinance, and that putting a commercial establishment in an agricultural zgne was “not in conformance . . .” and that more applications would be submitted like this and “undo the village concept.” He also found fault with the site plan, and questioned whether adequate water and sewer facilities were available. Dr. Krebser also complained about the lease of a portion of the property to Wakefield School for bus parking, and asked why that use did not require screening. He argued against the “spot zoning” that he felt the application repre sented, and concluded that he was totally against the proposed reuse. Commissioner A1 Henry said that, in the facility’s earlier use as a packing shed, there was a lot of seasonal traffic and that he did not expect that the proposed use would generate nearly as much, and so it wrould not pose a safety problem. He noted that the building had “been there over a hundred years” and “had many adaptive uses." He added that he had some concerns about sewage disposal but, “overall, with restrictions,” he was in favor of the proposed reuse. Chairman Tbm Junk asked Mr. Yates if he would be willing to upgrade sewer and water facilities and, receiving consent, said that he would support the application with certain restrictions. Mr. McCarthy addressed some of Dr. Krebser’s concerns by noting that that “adaptive reuse is there to preserve some of the heritage of this County.” He said that “there are not many buildings out there that this would set a precedent,” and added that he did not think that approval of this application “would open any doors.” Dr. Krebser moved to table the application, but no one seconded that motion. Chairman Junk then moved to recommend approval, and that motion was seconded by Mr. Henry and passed with the following restrictions: that the general exterior appearance of the building would be maintained; that there would be no outside storage of “junked” vehicles, wood, or furniture; that Department of Health approval of sewer and water facilities would be obtained; and that business staffing would be limited to the proprietor and no more than three employees. The application wall be heard by the Board of Supervisors in September.

Ms. Price noted that the apartment had been approved in the past, but had not been hers until she purchased the property on which it and a house had been located. That house was sold to E. Charles Williams who complained in a letter to Mr. McCarthy that “The apartment in question is a permanent rental and has been for three years. The conditions here have no precedents, the sum of human misery and suffering on our part is simply incalculable.” Mrs. Price now owns 104 acres, and there are two houses plus the apartment on the property. She is permitted one house per fifty acres, but Mr. McCarthy noted that the property “could be divided more” if she chose. Commissioner Butch Zindel asked if she would be willing to “give up a division" in exchange for the apartment approval, but Mrs. Price said that, though she did not plan to subdivide, she “didn’t think that would be fair." Mr. Henry said, “My opinion is—if it (the apartment) was created legally ... I don’t think it’s a problem. His fellow Commissioners agreed, and unanimously recommended approval. The case will be heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals on Aug. 28. Service From Page A1 Leathers has been working on Rev Max for two years. As this program began to develop in Rappahannock, Ms. Leathers and the DSS looked to the schools as its first partner. The school system and its guidance counselors already were identifying at-risk children and trying to help, and often were calling DSS for assistance. That lead to the creation of a position at DSS which worked half-time on those prevention issues. (The halftime portion of that salary can be “recouped.”) Last spring the first invoice reflecting the tedious paperwork for the past two years was filed. Recently the Department of Social Services in Rappahannock recouped from the federal government $95,000 far surpassing the amounts received by neighboring counties. Because this money must expand, the DSS in Rappahannock in collabora tion with its partners decided to add a social worker to the school system. With an office at the Elementary school as well as at DSS, Beverly Frazier, the new family support worker, was on the job Aug. 8. She will be receiving referrals from guidance counselors and teachers at both schools and then will be working with families who may benefit from this program. Her job is to assess the strengths in the “at risk” family and create a plan to shore up the situation so it doesn’t deteriorate. According to both Ms. Leathers and Ms. Frazier, this program and her position is “ totally family friendly” and totally voluntary on the part of a family. The goal is to identify and prevent a family from “coming into care,” to intervene and assist the family in finding alternatives to foster care. For more information, contact Beverly Frazier, Family Support Worker, at the Department of Social Services at 6.75-3313 or at the Elementary School 987-8259.

Ready to bloom in Sperryville By Donna LaPr£ Special to the Rappahannock News The idea for Sperryville’s newest store, began with one owner browsing the Valley Trader. Ann LeKander potted spotted a 20’xl00’ greenhouse for sale, complete with all the accessories: fans, heaters, etc.. “All I’d been looking for was a little 12’x20’ greenhouse”, said Mrs. LeKander, a Master Gardener. “And look what I got, for less than I would have paid for a smaller one!” With a greenhouse more suitable for a commercial venture than a home garden, Mrs. LeKander teamed up with friend Tom Sullivan to become partners in a garden shop . Mr. Sullivan a native of New Hampshire, has retired from what he calls “corporate America” and sports a sore thumb rather than a green thumb: he is an accomplished carpenter and built the counter, shelves and other fittings in the store. Mrs. LeKander moved to Rappahannock in 1996, from Warrenton and “did the usual”, she says, working at Faith Mountain, then Mountainside Market. She lives on a mountain, too, Pulliam’s Mountain, with her husband John LeKander, whom she married in 1998. The mountains seem to have followed her right to the sign above the store, “Ann’s Mountain Garden”. Erecting the greenhouse on the LeKander’s steep site was a challenge, requiring a feat of leveling, but all went well and 20 or more neighbors and Sperryville townspeople turned out for a “greenhouse raising”, to put the plastic on. An accomplished cook as well as gardener, Mrs. LeKander cooked breakfast for everyone. The store is part of the old hotel in Sperryville, and has housed a few different businesses in the last few years. Its current incarnation, as a garden shop, feels just right for the charming little storefront. The front door is freshly painted in dark green and pretty, flower filled boxes trim the windows. Inside, gray painted floors, pale green shelves and an arched trellis which presides over some plants give a touch of garden shed ambiance. Shoppers will find a large number of ceramic pots, decorated with images of plants, an assortment of cards and practical items such as orchid food, seed starting mix, noodle head sprinkler attachments and biological pest and weed control products, which Mrs. LeKander favors as she leans towards organic methods. Burn Out, for example is a nontoxic weed killer made of vinegar and lemon juice. For spot application, to avoid drift and reduce waste, an implement called WeedEezy releases products from a long, hand-held tube directly as needed. Also in the realm of the practical is a little red seat on Photo courtesy of Donna LaPr6 NOW OPEN: Sperryville's newest store, Ann's Mountain Garden is now open and ready to meet your every gardening need. Partners, Ann LeKander and Tom Sullivan are eager to serve the Rappahannock community. wheels, good for gardeners with physical limitations or for those who are just plain tired! Being (these are her words) an older gardener with some incapacity, Mrs. LeKander considers this segment of the gardening population in her merchandise choices for the store. Also, as a gardener concerned with water conservation, Mrs. LeKander really likes the garden cones sold in the store, which trickle water from old plastic bottles turned upside down and placed into the inverted cones. Inserted near the roots of plants, water is delivered to the roots in a time-release manner, eliminating water loss from the less precise methods of watering with a hose or can. ^ An A-frame wooden ladder trellis, reasonably priced, is a seasonally moveable plant support, for vines or training cucumbers, peas, squashes and zucchini in small garden spaces or just to add a vertical accent. The most extravagant item in the store is a wardian case, a mini conservatory of metal and glass, which rests on a stand. Wardian cases are so named after their 19th century creator, Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward, who developed this sort of terrarium to protect plants during transoceanic voyages. The plant house offers a perfect environment for some orchids, sundews, ferns and pitcher plants or plants in pots. I spotted a handsome old scythe and asked about it. Although not for sale, Mr. Sullivan is keeping his eyes open for vintage garden tools and accessories. One find is an old brass and glass tea trolley that could be a lovely plant stand for a sunroom or an enclosed porch. Of course, there are plants for sale, propagated by Mrs. LeKander in her greenhouse. Mr. Sullivan is particularly impressed with a redveined pale green caladium in the store. There are some orchids, including Blackberry Lily, or belamcanda, streptocarpus, variegated hydrangeas, jasminum sambac (the one used for fragrance and tea) and culinary herbs. The herbs will be carried year round, and seasonal plants such as lilies and poinsettias will be offered, too. The plant selection will be expanded and Mrs. LeKander will grow plants by request if customers cannot find what they need. Any plant can be potted up on the spot in one of the pretty ceramic pots, making a perfect gift. September will be the month for fall bulbs to arrive: tulips, daffodils, crocuses and muscari. For the future, Ann’s Mountain Garden will carry seeds from Europe, Renee’s Garden and Seeds of Change. A small but choice selection of gardening books will be available, too. Both Mrs. LeKander and Mr. Sullivan are eager to please their customers, with their preference for local patronage of the store. They are happy to special order products, deliver plants in the Sperryville area, open by appointment and, will entertain customer’s suggestions. On the counter are cards, imprinted with some of Mrs. LeKander’s favorite recipes, gratis for people looking for new ways to cook with garden herbs and vegetables. Another thoughtful service giveaway is the plant liner, designed to protect car interiors from the inevitable dirt that comes along with plant shopping. The liners are printed with useful garden information. If anyone is interested in having a small garden installed, the store team will do that, too. Mr. Sullivan, a dyed-in-the wool New Englander, doesn’t waste any words about his and Mrs. LeKander’s ambitions, “We want to be the best we can be and we want to enjoy ourselves!” Ann’s Mountain Garden is located at 47 Main Street in Sperryville and will host a Grand Opening on Labor Day weekend. The store is open Thursday through Monday, 10-5, and will be open earlier during spring planting season. The store's phone number is 987-9182. “2 Views of the Landscape” By Diana Bird Special to the Rappahannock News William H. Whiting of Stephens City, and Don Black of Winchester are joined in an exhibition at Long View Gallery in Sperryville for a show between Aug. 22 and Sept. 18. Their works could scarcely be more different. Whiting’s pictures are oil on panel, primarily landscapes of open countryside, farmsteads with buildings and animals, and still life and growing flowers. One gay scene shows people enjoying a seaside beach. Only in that picture are people included. The landscape scenes are likely Virginia places, but their character might suggest Pennsylvania or New York. Whiting’s approach is unmannered and his colors seem natural and realistic. They express contentment. One especially interesting work, “Sunset Road”, has a strong compositional element combining green, blue and golden-lighted fields blocked off among trees, shrubs, green fields and a blue road. “Before the Mountain” features a large light blue, shimmering mountain that takes up about a third of the picture. This softly colored scene is a magnet for the eye. Nearly all of the pictures are in handsome, large gold frames of a conventional sort. Several, however, have painted blue faces with a runr 11 '■ .. 1 Review V>., , V- • . ., . ' . ■ ■ . , • .....■„■■■■■......mill ning vine decoration. The selections for this exhibition indicate an artist who doesn’t repeat himself and who sees everything. Don Black paints with watercolors and acrylic on paper and other backgrounds. The third of his show that are acrylic images represent a new medium for Black, resulting in textured surfaces. The colors in these pictures also tend to be hotter and more aggressive in nature than the watercolors are. I felt, in looking at Black’s work, that he has a dynamic personality that, expressed in his paintings, would lead one soon to recognize one of his works if seen in another place. I understand that he has moved from realism to abstraction. One result of this change is that his pictures often have structural elements and some of his titles suggest he has a landscape in mind. “Mind Portal II”, acrylic on paper mounted on canvas, has every color in the rainbow, combined in a way as to be more modest than a number of the other more vibrant others. It is attractively restful in effect. “On a Clear Day”, a watercolor and one of the larger of his works, , Photo courtesy of Long View Gallery ON DISPLAY: An exhibition by William Whiting and Don Black will be on display at Long View Gallery now through Sept. 18. suggests water, sky, a shore scene, and a large “sail”. This mostly blue picture has strong compositional elements that seemed to me to express the artists’ complicated personality. Black wants his work to talk to us, but he wants us to talk back. Long View Gallery is located on Historic Main Street in Sperryville. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. — closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

Though parents and children may hold opposing views about the start of a new school year, the fact remains that routines are a good thing for everyone. While summer vacations are a time to escape routine, a new school year begs for a return to “normal.” Having a bedtime routine starts it all. Make your children’s lunches the night before. Lay out the outfits to be worn from head to toe. Pack school book bags and place them in a convenient location. Set out dishes for breakfast. Check your daily calendar for the following day to see what’s in store. Get to bed at a decent time so you can rise before your children — this is essential! A morning routine will consist of simply getting dressed and eating breakfast. No more mad dashes around the house to find homework or shoes. No more discussion about what’s for breakfast or lunch. And no more wondering who goes where today, and at what time does he/she have to be there. An after school routine is also a must. As soon as the children walk through the door they change into play clothes. School clothes get put away, or go into the laundry basket. Fix a light snack such as fruit or cheese and crackers and let your children take a break before they begin their homework. When they are finished they can play outside while you prepare dinner. After dinner, review your children’s homework and ask them about what they need for the next day at school. And now it is time to start all over again with your bedtime routine. You will be amazed at how much simpler your life will be by sticking to these daily habits. And by consistently following your daily routines, your children will also adopt these habits. Here are some tips to help get you and your family accustomed to these back to school routines. Keep a binder notebook readily available in your kitchen with all school information within it. Class schedules, field trip notices, weekly bulletins, etc. Check your children’s backpacks daily and promptly file away any papers that you need to keep. Once the paper is no longer needed, throw it away. Or when it is needed, return it to the appropriate backpack. Create a launching pad in . ' " • .... Sperryville By LIS A RAMEY 'k 997-9199 your home to accommodate backpacks, lunches, and supplies for school. This is the unloading zone in the afternoon when they come home, and the loading zone in the morning before they walk out the door. You can use wooden pegs to hang things from, or if you prefer organize your launching pad with big clear plastic storage boxes. Post a reminder checklist for all to see: Backpacks, library books, homework, gym clothes, permission slips, and lunch. Keep a family calendar. When you receive a schedule of events from anything that a family member participates in fill it in immediately on your calendar! This includes sports schedules, church, school calendars, after school clubs, etc. Also, when you receive and invitation in the mail, act upon it immediately. Check your calendar, see if the date is available, and if you want to attend, RSVP promptly. When you schedule an appointment for doctors, dentists, barbers, etc., check your calendar and write it down right away. Also, try to schedule these appointments for the same day of the week every time. Incorporating all of these time saving tips into your daily routines will enable you to have stress free and enjoyable days in your home. You will truly be amazed at how much more time you have to spend with your family. Rather than rushing through meals, baths, and bedtime stories, you will have time for fun. And in case you don’t have any school aged children in your home, please don’t think these routines cannot apply to you. Substitute briefcases for backpacks and try it out!

Keeping out of trouble By Father Jerry Pokorsky Special to the Rappahannock News Legalism can be defined as a fixation on rules and regulations. We live in a legalistic society: “How far can I go before I get in trouble with the law?” “If the speed limit is 55 mph can I travel at 61 mph and not get caught?” “How much wiggle room do I have in filling out my tax return1” But is it healthy for a Catholic to ask, "How far can I go before I get in trouble with the Church?" The Church, of course, espouses many laws. The Tbn Commandments form the foundation of the Church's moral teaching. There are “precepts of the Church." There are Church “disciplines” such as celibacy and “Lenten observances.” The Church's tradition of “moral theology" provides guidance in living the “law of Christ.” And Christ Himself teaches us, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” While some try to separate God’s law from the love of Christ, it would be equally mistaken to overlook that the law of Christ is directed to love. When St. Thomas calls the laws of the Church, "a kindly tutor,” he means that Christian law should not be obeyed for its own sake. Observance of Christian lawshould always be1 considered a means of love. But every generation is threatened w-ith an unhealthy legalism. Observance of the law in servile fear or for the law's sake is far more common than observing the law for the just ordering of society. We are awash in legalism in the contemporary bureaucratic society with its rules and regulations, policies, procedures and protocols. What has been the consequence of such legalism9 Church “disciplines" are changeable “rules” that are designed to direct our attention to the firm certainties of faith. But some Catholics forgot that the discipline of meatless Fridays was meant to be a communal act of self-denial to. witness to — and participate in — the suffering of Christ on Good Friday. With the true purpose of abstaining from meat lost, some Catholics actually looked forward to Friday as a lobster feast day! When we lose sight of the true purpose of the law of Christ, the observance of law can easily become routine and barren. Legalism has led other Catholics to reduce the Church's moral teaching to a collection of mere rules and regulations. These Catholics hold that the Church's teaching authority is limited to dearly “infallible" teachings. If certain teachings are particularly unpleasant and are not expressly “infallible,” these Catholics hold that there can be compelling reasons based on “love” to disregard the teaching. This kind of legalism is not new-. When the Lord reveals to His Apostles that he must go to Jerusalem and be put to death, Peter objects. The teaching was too hard to accept. Did Peter reject the Lord's teaching because he feared for the Lord? Or did he fear for his own safety? In any case, presuming to liecome the Lord's spiritual director, he exclaims, “God forbid. Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you.” After the lord’s harsh rebuke of Peter (“Get behind me, Satan”), the Lord teaches his disciples the fundamental rule of discipleship: “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me.” Only a desire to take up one's cross to follow Christ purifies discipleship of selfinterest and false compassion. The Cross shatters an attitude of legalism. A disciple in love with Christ does ■ not worry about “getting in trouble with the Church.” A true disciple of Christ loves the Cross because the Cross is the only means of union with Christ. Father Pokorsky is the priest assigned to St. Peter's Catholic Church in Washington. *02 TOYOTA TUNDRA S* #53031,4x2, re$. cab, weather guard pkg., tilt wheel, seeing rear wmdow, air cooditwoing bedtiner mSRP 518,874 *02 TOYOTA TACOMA Stk. #22601, SR5, 4x2, comes with siding rear window, bedliner, carpet mats and much, much more!

Ttie Qolden yearn Erect he stood, while surveying the crowd A very silly person, voiced one of the proud Why is he saying such, amid laughter and tears My friends, “Just what are the Golden Years?” A firm voice said for answer, please follow me From this panoramic view we all can see To the east where the gold begins Behind us to the west is where it all ends. On this plateau we meet o’d friends Some were sincere, others “just old has beens” They all pass here, tho from far and near Bearing treasured memories of things held dear. There is John talking about his son’s B.S. degree His explanation, “It really should have been a Ph.D.” He is so loquacious you begin to wonder Just listening to him could be a blunder. Also there’s Frank, with his only, the world’s fastest hoss He should have won, but somehow he lost The will to win, said he, must not fade And as a booster, he would try gater-aid. Now there’s Jennifer who loved to imbibe And still keeps a little taste on the side Says she, we are only here a short while What is life without an occasional smile. Our golden years are a collection of days That enrich our lives in so many ways Graduations, weddings, and baby’s first sound All make our list in the very first round. In your reflections, keep memories in stride Disappointment, disillusion, failure, just lay aside Prioritize your achievements that mean real joy. Cuddle life’s rewards as a favorite toy. The voice ended, abruptly as it had begun Leaving one to ponder, just what have we done In our major decisions, did we do our best But then, where is the man who is error-less. In reflections of our golden years Both yours and mine I feel they are God’s personal gift to us. One day at a time. I , ■' The guy called Russell Sperryville James Russell

Obituaries Lillie Pullen County native Mrs. Lillie Mae Pullen, 83, of Sperryville died Friday, Aug. 23, at her home after a long period of declining health.

Maddox Funeral Home in Front Royal was in charge of the arrangements. by Randy Minter RETURNING TO THE EARTH In the Jewish tradition, mourners may participate in the actual burial by placing shovelfuls of dirt on the casket. In doing so, the mourners are seen to be performing the unselfish and loving act of ensuring that the deceased will receive a proper Jewish burial. As might be expected, throwing dirt on the grave, as it were, is more than a symbolic act. While it may be fraught with emotion and pain, this gesture goes a long way in bring psychological benefit to surviving friends and family. Participating and witnessing the burial commits mourners to undergo one final loving act for their beloved departed and helps to mitigate any illusion about the finality of death. Traditions help stitch together the fabric of life. We are reminded of our past and our connections through our traditions. At the Moser Funeral Home, we will help you memorialize your loved one with expertise and care. We have years of experience in satisfying our clientele. We’re at 233 Broadview Avenue.

WCDS happenings By Ginny Leser Admissions Director Amid splashing and crunching, parents, students, and faculty got together Saturday evening for the annual end of summer pool party/cookout held at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center. Over 160 people showed up for what is billed as the "Last Gasp of Summer" bash, which gave families an opportunity to meet new people and to catch up with old friends. The students were excited to see each other again, and the teachers looked remarkably relaxed. Mr Michael Vargo, outfitted in an apron from Whitney „ Matthews, manned the grills. His trusty sidekick, Mrs. Linda Hammelman, was a real trooper, as the heat from the grills competed with the heat of the day. Boy, was it hot! Many, many thanks go out to all of the families who contributed great food, wonderful conversation, and elbow grease setting everything up. Thanks also go out to the 4-H Center for such great facilities, especially the pool. • Parents and students were invited to something different last week, as WCDS unveiled their new Art Program. The Monart Drawing Method was introduced to a packed house, as children and parents alike listened to trained Monart instructor, Mrs. Susan Price, while she explained the five basic elements of shape. The students were then invited to draw, using the five shapes, and the fun began! Even children who felt that they had no artistic talent were amazed at the results. The enthusiastic response from parents and students is a clear indication that this art program will be a very important addition to the WCDS curriculum. The Monart Method has had tremendous results across the United States as a valuable tool for unleashing the creativity that hides in all of us. It has also proved to be a determining factor in the success of many students who were unable to express themselves in other avenues. We want to thank Mrs. Barbara Sherwood and Mrs. Kathy Tredway for their valuable support of this program, and for all r~"... that it will mean to our children. • Our beloved International students have been arriving this week. get-, ting ready for another great year at WCDS. How lonely it is when they go back to their home countries during the summer' Host parents at WCDS get very attached to the students, and it’s exciting to hear that they're on their way back.

Water Quality Standards and must notify localities particularly affected. The Agency has determined that when amendments are specific to locality, then that locality is particularly affected. ESTIMATED LOCAL IMPACT: The amendments specific to Rappahannock County are deletion of special standard “q" located in section 9 VAC 25-260-310 regarding effluent limits to waste discharges to the Rappahannock River above the proposed dam at Salem Church and additions of natural trout stream designations and revision of stockable trout stream designations in the Rappahannock River Basin found in 9 VAC 25-260-440 section 4 of the proposal approved for public comment by the State Water Control Board on December 12, 2001. Special standard “q” contains effluent limits for waste discharges to the Rappahannock River above the proposed Salem Church Dam contingent upon congressional authorization for construction of the dam. Deletion of special standard "q" is not expected to have impacts since its congressional authorization for construction of a dam on the Rappahannock River has never been granted and the limits have never become effective. Any point source discharges to trout streams must have treatment technologies that meet more stringent dissolved oxygen and temperature water quality standards than discharges to warm water streams in order to protect the trout fishery. These water quality standards are found in 9 VAC 25-260-50 and 9 VAC 25-260-70. Also, discharges to the highest quality natural trout streams (those identified by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries as Class i and ii) are not allowed to use chlorine or other halogenated compounds for disinfection purposes or other treatment purposes. The Department of Environmental Quality has determined that no industrial or municipal discharges will be effected by these amendments. Therefore, it is not expected tha* these waste effluent limitation deletions or trout water amendments will incur a financial hardship to Rappahannock County. It is expected these amendments will benefit the locality through proper protection of the aquatic life and recreational resources. This rulemaking contains other amendments that are statewide in nature and not specific to the locality. COMMENTS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS: Comments should be directed to Elleanore Daub, Department of Environmental Quality, P.O Box 10009, Richmond, VA 23240-0009, or e-mail at ftmriaiih@dea.state.va.us and must be received by November 1, 2002.

A question and answer period will be held one half hour prior to the beginning of the public hearing at each location.

Aaahh, a spa By Monica Worth Special to the Rappahannock News Some commute to the city or work long hours here at home. Some commune with the land. Others spend tiring days tending to family, church and community. All of our Rappahannock neighbors can now retreat to an oasis of calm, where service is paramount, and gentle hands soothe away the cares of the day. Local realtor, Sherry Snyder, recently discovered the joys of an entire day devoted to relaxation and beauty. She was the fortunate guest of PR & Partners, one of the region’s leading salon and spa companies, which just brought its services to our region. Ms. Snyder’s day — described as a “seasonal makeover” — began with a one-nour racial, bkin glowing, she moved on to a full hour, total body massage. Ms. Snyder then happily turned herself over to the salon's owner, who provided a sleek hair color and style update, adding summer tones of honey, silver and gold. Having completely surrendered the cares of a busy real estate practice and active extended family, Ms. Snyder was escorted to the salon’s make-up expert. She soon emerged radiant. A light touch and subtle play on her natural coloring — perfectly attuned to carefree summer days — had achieved an effect that a visitor described as “You — only better!” Finally, Ms. Snyder was off to the nail salon for the perfect finishing touch. With thanks and praise for her new partners in beauty, Ms. Snyder — reluctantly — headed home, her look and her perspective beautifully transformed. “I have a good sense of my self. I know what I like,” Ms. Snyder commented later. “The staff at PR & Partners didn’t reinvent me. They reinIn Brief Irish dance comes to In Motion Have you ever wished you could dance a jig at the annual St. Patrick’s Day party? Would your feet like something constructive to do when “Riverdance” blasts out of your radio? The answer: Irish Dance lessons. Laura Crowne, director of In Motion Dance Studio in Old Town Warrenton says she receives frequent inquires about Irish dance lessons and finally has an answer. Denise Foster Fumagali, an experienced Irish dance instructor, will join the In Motion staff starting in September. Ms. Fumagali has been dancing and performing for most of her life, starting with ballet and tap at age four and adding jazz and Irish along the way. She is one of only seven instructors in Virginia certified with An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha to teach Irish dancing. Class size will be limited and is slated to begin on Sept. 10. For more information or to join the fun, contact Ginger Wagg at In Motion Dance Studio at 3492439. Oratorio Society seeking singers The Front Royal Oratorio Society is seeking singers to join with its members from six surrounding counties for two performances in early December of G.F. Handel’s “Messiah”. Oratorio Society rehearsals are Monday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30 beginning Sept. 9 in the Fulton Fine Arts Building at Randolph-Macon Academy. No auditions required. It is the hope of the Society that many singers will accept this opportunity to participate in a grand, area-wide celebration of this beloved choral masterpiece. Credit at Lord Fairfax Community College is available. Inquire at LFCC or the first rehearsal. For information call 6358709 or 622-6974. A lovely Snyder "before." vigorated me, providing skillful touches that made me look and feel like I'd just stepped off a private jet from exotic points unknown! It’s a remarkable experience.” The roots of the new Warrenton business run deep within our community. Proprietor, Glenyce Beale, recently discovered that her ancestors by marriage arrived on the continent in 1632 via Rappahannock. Her parents hail from Loudoun County. Needless to say, she was thrilled to establish her business in the heart of the region. Ms. Beale notes that many salons provide excellent work and skilled personnel. She says that the mark of her business is extraordinary attention to service. The salon employs a full range of stylists, from international designers to up and coming professionals-in-training. Its multi-level approach allows the salon to accommodate a broad range of budgets, styles, and needs. All stylists and aesthetics professionals are continually engaged in training to update their skills and expertise. Ms. Beale’s original salon opened just three years ago, near her current location in The Warrenton Center. With a rapidly expanding clientele, she soon felt the need for new space, new services, and new A radiant Snyder “after. staff. Nineteen talented colleagues now serve their clients from PR & Partners’ spacious new facility, an environment at once colorful and calm.
