They are incumbent Larry Sherertz, former Secret Service officer Steve Butler of Boston and former deputy sherifflbdd Brown of Chester Gap. The last day for candidates to qualify for the November election of Rappahannock County officials is June 10. By the looks of things at the Registrar's Office, there may be a last minute rush by candidates to submit the necessary petitions with the required 125 signatures of registered voters by 7 p.m. on Tuesday. "Those people waiting till the last minute are taking a gamble," said Registrar Nancy Newlin. She explained that a signature on a petition would not be valid if the person lists only a post office box for an address and not the actual physical 911 location or if the date is missing. If that is the case, a prospective candidate would not have the time left to collect the requisite valid signatures. Those who have filed the necessary petitions and are qualified to run include Beverly Atkins, Commissioner of Revenue; Peter Luke, County Attorney; and Frances Foster, Treasurer. The county sheriff race has the most number of candidates vying for that position. While Sherertz and Butler have qualified and have the valid number of signatures, Brown said he has his signatures and will take his petition to the Registrar’s Office this week. Meanwhile, lor director ot Sou and Water, John Clifford Miller III has qualified to run as well as Monira K Rifaat. In the Board of Supervisors race, J. Jack Atkins, a retired VDOT employee is running in the Jackson precinct which is Amissvjjle. Ron Frazier, who holds that jeat now, had not filed by press time. , Four current supervisors are running unopposed: Charles "Pete" Estes has qualified for the Piedmont precinct in Sperryville; Bob Anderson for the Stonewall-Hawthome precinct which is Scrabble; Roger Welch for the Wakefield precinct which is Flint Hill; and Bryant Lee for the Hampton precinct which is Washington. In the School Board race, incumbent Aline B. Johnson has qualified for the Piedmont seat; Sharon Kilpatrick for the Stonewall-Hawthome seat and at press time no candidate had filed for the seat left by Douglas Baumgardner in the Hampton district. A petition has been circulating in the county for signatures for Ken Marlor, the Boston postmaster, who is seeking to run against Kilpatrick. At press time, he had not submitted his petition to be qualified.

Box 59 Washington, Va. 22747 (540) 675-3338 (540) 675-3088 (fax) J Junk car warring By Gerald Ochs Special to the Rappahannock News The controversy about junk cars, sparked by Dr. Werner Krebser's comments in a recent interview in the Rappahannock News, continued at the sparsely attended June 2 meeting of the Board of Supervisors. Comments aired at the meeting and a pair of letters submitted to the board attest to the lack of homogeneity in public opinion on the issue. Sharon Kilpatrick, one of a dozen or so attendees, spoke of the value of recycling automobile parts and suggested that a solution to the issue of Mike Brown's collection near the new Rappahannock National Bank location on Route 211 is for the bank to "swap" property with Brown and relocate the cars to the back of the property. ^.

They are, from top left, Oak Forest, The Meadows; middle, Middleton Inn; bottom left, Greenfield, and Conyers House. A milestone Historic county survey wraps up By Hal Hunter Special to the Rappahannock NewB For more than a year, architectural historians from Washington, D.C., have been traveling the roads and lanes of Rappahannock County, documenting its history in the homes, mills, toll houses, bridges, meeting places and churches. The contractor, EHT Traceries, will report its findings in a slide presentation at The Theatre on Gay Street in Washington on Sunday, June 15 from 2-3:30 p.m. The presentation will be followed by a catered reception on the lawn beside the theatre. Everyone is invited to attend. The Traceries report represents a milestone for the Rappahannock County Comprehensive Plan, which has been recommending such a survey of the county’s historic resources for more than 20 years. Traceries surveyed almost 200 properties, 169 at the “reconnaissance” level (exterior oni>) and 25 at the “intensive” level (exterior and interior). Each structure was assessed for its architecture and physical characteristics, photographed, and documented for its contribution to the historic context of the county. Properties that the Commonwealth of Virginia considers historic are listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register. Historic resources include individual properties, historic districts and rural historic districts. The Virginia register currently lists seven historic properties in Rappahannock County: Ben Venue, Montpelier, Mount Salem Baptist Meeting House, Caledonia Farm, Flint Hill Baptist Church, Washington Mill and John W. Miller House. Traceries recommends that 17 of the 25 properties they studied intensively be nominated as additional historic properties. In the Washington area, these are the Campbell House, Greenfield, Middleton Inn, Nichol House, and Sunny side. The Woodville area includes Oak See SURVEY, Page A2 She said that she found the tone of the discussion in the Rappahannock News to be "offensive." Bob Lander, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP), referred to his letter of May 27 on the issue of junk cars. He suggested that any action taken by the Board of Supervisors "be fair and equitable and not limited only to the most visible examples." The county, Lander added, "must address all the illegal junk car collections in and around the entire county . . . not just the Route 211 situation." He suggested that the problem might be alleviated if the county defined the process for junk car removal and what constituted an illegal junk car collection. A letter from Micah Solomon, president of Oasis CD Manufacturing, expressed concern "about the junk yard that is on 211 right in the heart of what is supposed to be the commercial district here." Solomon said that many have done their best to beautify the area, and "it's a real hindrance to the quality of life here to have that pile of junk right smack dab next to the highway." The solution is that "this de facto dumping ground has got to See BOARD, Page A3 County’s education level among highest in region County educational levels Educational attainment of Rappahannock residents, 25 years and older, 1960-2000. By Maureen Harris Special to the Rappahannock News The education level of adults in Rappahannock County has shown major increases during the past 40 years. In the year 2000, the educational attainment of adults age 25 years or older was among the highest in the region. This data is based on reports in the 2000 U.S. Census, which is conducted every 10 years and in which Rappahannock County residents participate. Earlier stories in the Rappahannock News analyzing recently released census data have A Fifth In a series looked at population growth and how it has been slowing down in the county. The data also showed that the number of children has been decreasing over the past 30 years. Between the years 1960 and 2000, the percentage of residents who were high school graduates or had higher education increased from 19.6 percent to 76 percent. During this time, the percentage of residents who had a bachelor’s degree or higher education See CENSUS, Page A2 High School Graduate Bachelors Degree or Higher or Higher Source: U S.

Census From Page A1 increased from 3.1 percent to 22.9 percent. The proportion of Rappahannock adults with a high school education and with a college education is now among the highest in the region. Only Fauquier County has a higher percentage of its population who have a high school education or greater, or a college education or greater. The increases over time in education levels in Rappahannock County occurred during a period of population growth.

This increase occurred among adults; the number of pre-school and school-age children actually decreased. It is likely that the increasing education levels in Rappahannock County during this time period occurred because adults with high school and college degrees moved into the county to live and work. According to the 2000 U. S. Census data on educational levels in the county, some 11.2 percent of county residents attained less than a ninth grade education; 12.7 attained ninth to twelfth grade, with no diploma; 30.1 percent attained high school graduate level; 18.4 percent attained some college, no degree; 4.6 percent attained associate degree; 14.4 percent attained bachelor’s degree; 8 percent attained a graduate or professional degree. Dr. Maureen Harris is a resident of Woodville. She worked for 33 years at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., where she was a demographer and epidemiologist. Survey From Page A1 Forest and Stonehaven on Yancey Road, plus the Stark House. Flint Hill has Althea Terrace and Nine Gate/Eastham House. Laurel Mills includes Laurel Mills Farm and Meadow Grove. Schools and stores are the Scrabble School, Sperryville School and Viewtown Store. The Conyers House and Meadow Green are near Madison. Traceries also recommends that 58 additional properties be studied further, to assess whether they might also be eligible. Historic districts Similarly, the Virginia Landmarks Register recognizes only Washington and Sperryville as historic districts. Traceries recommends that Laurel Mills, Flint Hill and Woodville be added and that Peola Mills and Slate Mills be studied to see whether they might also qualify. Rural historic districts There are only 14 rural historic districts in the entire state and none are in Rappahannock County. Traceries recommends that the Register add five more— F.T. Valley Road, Fodderstack Road, Ben Venue Road, Yancey Road and Wakefield district— and that the Sunnyside area be studied as a potential sixth. This means that if Rappahannock County is recognized for five rural historic districts, it will have more than 25 percent of all the rural historic districts in the entire state (5 of 19). If the Sunnyside district is approved down the road, the county will have 30 percent (6 of 20) in a county with a population around 7,000. In short, the county hits the potential for increasing the number of properties listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register from seven to 24, historic districts from two to seven, and rural historic districts from zero to five or six. None of these outcomes is guaranteed; recognition will require further work and documentation. Restrictions/ advantages Listing on the Virginia register is entirely voluntary; recognition imposes no restrictions whatever. However, there are significant financial advantages. Owners who restore their historic properties can receive tax credits of up to 45 percent of the costs. Owners who donate historic easements can deduct the value of the easement from their federal taxes and up to 50 percent on state taxes. The Virginia Department of Historic Resources Web site has details (www. dhr.state.va.us). Next steps Since the county’s Comprehensive Plan is undergoing review, it may be time to revise the plan with respect to historic resources, and implement its recommendations in the zoning and subdivision ordinances. The survey was supported by a broad cross section of citizens, including the Amissville Area Community Association, County of Rappahannock, Piedmont Environmental Council, Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance, Rappahannock County Historical Society, Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, Lions Club, Tbwn of Washington, and private individuals. Listing in the Virginia Landmarks Register virtually guarantees a listing in the National Register of Historic Places; see www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com. “Daffodil Bill” Sandra Varney’s Original Watercolor is now on display at Sun Studio Framing 20 E. 8th St., Front Royal VA 22630 540-636-6511 Prints and cards available.

Two Panthers’ teams advance to state sports tournaments By Richard Armstrong Special to the Rappahannock News The Panther athletic program had two spring teams advancing to state tournaments that began on Tuesday. The varsity softball team captured the Region B title with a convincing 4-0 win over Strasburg. The Rams had defeated the Lady Panthers in the Bull Run District Tournament final. Rachel Sharp made sure that same scenario would not play out again as she pitched a no-hitter against the Rams in the Region B title game. Rachel struck out 15 Rams and did not allow a walk. Three Rams reached base on passed ball third strikes. She also contributed an RBI triple to the cause. The Panthers scored first in the second inning when Jamie Deal doubled in Danielle Hiserman. Brittany Thornhill scored in the third inning on a base hit by Rachel Gall to make the score 2-0. The Panthers closed out the scoring in the fourth inning as Sara Mills led off with a single and scored on Sharp’s triple. Molly Burke singled to score Sharp. The team swept through the Region B tournament also defeating Wilson Memorial 52 and Randolph-Henry 3-2. Against Wilson Memorial the Panthers broke a 2-2 tie with RBI base hits from Molly Burke, Rachel Gall and Sara Mills. Rachel Sharp pitched against the Green Hornets giving up four hits and striking out 12. Against RandolphHenry, Brittany Thornhill had a two run triple in the sixth inning to break a 0-0 tie and get the Panthers out to a 3-0 lead. Randolph-Henry scored twice in the seventh inning to make the final score 3-2 as the Lady Panthers advanced to the Region B Championship game. Coach Jon Smythe said, “The story of the Region B Tournament is a story about team defense, great pitching by senior Rachel Sharp and clutch hitting led by junior Brittany Thornhill. Those three ingredients have resulted in a Regional Champion ship.” The Lady Panthers hosted Essex High School on Tuesday and are looking forward to a trip to Radford University on Friday for the State Semifinals. Varsity boys’ soccer The varsity boys’ soccer team also gained a region berth and played at Radford High School on Tuesday. The team finished as runner up in the Region B tournament defeating Buffalo Gap and Altavista before falling to Clarke 2-1 in the Region B title match. The team played a tenacious Bison team in the Region B quarterfinal rolling to a 3-0 win. John Letsen got the scoring started at the seven minute mark of the first half and Dos Allen knocked another one into the net five minutes later to give the Panthers a 2-0 half time lead. Just before time expired in the second half Mikkel Schroeder added his name to the scoring list to help propel the Panthers into the tourna ment semifinal against Altavista. The Panthers faced little opposition against Altavista as they completely dominated the match winning by a score of 7-0. The Altavista win put the team in a rematch of the Bull Run title game against the Eagles of Clarke County. Clarke had won the Bull Run title by defeating the Panthers 3-2. David Letsen got the home team off on the right foot at the 18th minute mark of the first half as he scored on the Clarke defense. At '|he 27th minute of the opeffifi'g half the Eagles were able to tie the score and it remained that way until the final minute of the match when Clarke was able to get the game winner on a rebound of a previously missed shot. A win Tuesday at Radford will hopefully give the team the momentum to pick up a state title. The state semifinals and finals will be played at Radford University on Friday and Saturday. Board From Page A1 go," Solomon concluded. County Administrator John McCarthy noted that the county has had an abandoned vehicle disposal program for the past 12 years. The county, he said, hires a contractor to remove "as many (abandoned vehicles) as the owner wants," at no cost to the owner. McCarthy addressed the issue of abandoned vehicles that are legal by virtue o£ being grandfathered (abandoned before the ordinance was enacted in 1986). He said that in some cases a determination can be made: "If a tree is growing up through the chassis of a Nash Rambler that is probably grandfathered, but if it's growing through the fender well of a Yugo, it isn't." County Attorney Peter Luke is looking into the legalities of the junk car ordinance. Budget public hearing McCarthy reported that the budget is approximately $1 million greater than last year, of which $800,000 is attributable to the school budget increase already approved by the board. He said that the proposed tax rate is $.70,.4^)mpared to an equalized rate'for the current tax year of $.64J) an increase in the tax rate of six cents per hundred dollars of assessed valuation. The public hearing on the budget was attended by only three county residents. Hampton District Supervisor Bryant Lee expressed concern that some of the members of the old county families might not be able to afford to remain here. He added that he saw no solution. Stonewall-Hawthorne District Supervisor Bob Anderson said that he too "hated to see taxes going up," and Jackson District's Ron Frazier commented that the School Board was "heading in the right direction." County Attorney Peter Luke, referring to some public concerns that the recent reassessment would result in a tax increase, said that he was "just reiterating that taxes did not go up due to the reassessment" but would increase because of diminishing state funding and increases in the schools' budget. The board unanimously approved a resolution of appreciation for E. Franklin Warner, who died May 20. The resolution said, in part, "The passing of E. Franklin Warner has left a void in the community of Rappahannock County that will never be filled, and a void in the hearts of his loved ones, friends and colleagues . . . ."

The speaker is Wingate Mackay-Smith, chairman of the Conservation Easement Authority in Clarke County who will share her county's easement experience with a Rappahannock audience. Land owners in Clarke County presently enrolled in the land use taxation program are being encouraged to donate scenic easements: A PDR (Purchased Development Rights i program enables the authority to offer the owner of selected lands money in exchange for a con servation easement on their land. This change would permit Clarke County to improve their LCI < Local Composite Index) and therefore, state school funding. Citizens and elected local government officials of Rappahannock County have succeeded in preserving its farms, forests and open land. The land use taxation system has played an important role in that process, according to RCCA, and land has been protected from urban sprawl and unwise development. More land in conservation easement would also improve the LCI and therefore increase state funding for Rappahannock schools, according to RCCA. The great surgical hospital... ...thats a great baby hospital... ...that's a great emergency hospital... ...that's a great \qCSl\ hospital.

'WlNSRtt \ l IH9T* ‘Steve Butler has my vote’ I was delighted to read in last week’s Rappahannock News that my neighbor, Steve Butler, is running for sheriff of Rappahannock County. Steve is a great neighbor $nd I know he will bring his special skills and qualities to the job. He is sincere and credible. He is a man of his word and a man of solid family values, who has been happily married to Becky for 39 years. If Steve Butler is committed to protecting the safety of the citizens of Rappahannock County, we the citizens of Rappahannock County can count on it. Steve Butler is the neighbor you can depend on and hell be the sheriff that all of Rappahannock County can depend on. Steve Butler has my vote and I believe he will earn your vote for sheriff.

Eric Cantor (R-Va.) visited Rappahannock County Sheriff Larry Sherertz on May 30 to discuss a law enforcement grant the congressman obtained for Rappahannock County in February. The grant provides $125,000 for a school Resource Officer Program that is designed to protect county streets and roads and ensure children ‘make the right choices,’ according to Cantor. Letters Keep editorial opinion out of the news In reference to the current furor over Mike Brown’s junk cars, I respectfully invite you to reconsider your use of terms in your coverage such as “rusting hulks” and “battered and rusting junkers.” This is an opinion rather than a fact and does not belong in a news article. To some they may be rusted hulks, to others many of them represent an important form of recycling that offers the reuse of parts without further need for the potential pollution and exhaustion of resources that is involved in manufacture. Further, I object to the inference that Mike Brown is a scofflaw to be reigned in by the local authorities. He is a responsible local businessman who serves many in their need. The facility in question is a functioning part of his operation and pre-existed both the zoning laws and the new bank building. Remember that B & B Service Center once existed at this location until it was taken from Mr. Brown for the greater good of the community, in the form of the new four lane highway, and note that the zoning seems to discourage the establishment of such facilities in any new location. If such a facility is objectionable next to the new bank, then why did our county regulators seem to ignore that fact in the approval process? Indeed it is the grading around the beautiful new bank that has put the cars in a higher profile, not the actions of Mr. Brown. I have been proud for many years now to live in a community where people cared for each other, but I see none of this in the treatment of Mr. Brown in the public forum. Shame on us. It will take some care to extract all of us from this quagmire with any decency at all, but at least let us act with care for differences of opinion, keep editorial opinion on the editorial page and work with all the facts that we can discover. J. W. Hobson III Washington What the ‘eyesore’ is With all due respect to Dr. Werner Krebser, the eyesore on our “pristine” Route 211 is not the junk cars, but the new Rappahannock National Bank building. Brenda and John Van Ness Washington ‘Does anyone see hypocrisy here?’ In the May 22 issue of the Rappahannock News I read the editorial discussing the Town Council’s debate over a proposed new home using less than authentic materials, possibly even delving into the interior details of the home. In that same issue I read on the front page of the thoughtful efforts of Dr. Werner Krebser to have the eyesore “rusty scrap pile” regulations enforced by the county. The county is apparently having some debate over how to handle this delicate issue, particularly if the junk was a pre-existing condition. Looking at the bigger picture, does anyone see a bit of hypocrisy here? While the sticky points of zoning regarding new home construction in the village might not directly relate to enforcement of existing regulations regarding junk cars in the county, the intended goal of both is the same. Certainly if forced to prioritize the bigger threat to Rappahannock’s beauty I would have to opt for the scrap cars. I find these sites offensive and am amazed that they are tolerated for a second in an atmosphere that is so worried about synthetic building materials but cannot seem to enforce its own existing zoning laws which impact every visitor to the town. What is this involved talk about “deciding what to do” ? This does not seem to be new legal rocket science; this is a darn junk yard sitting out naked to the world, thumbing its ugliness against everyone else who makes the effort to clean up after themselves. Okay, let’s hear the oral arguments for “grandfathered in” pre-existing junk piles. Perhaps I underestimated the legal complexity of enforcement? A big thanks to the courage of Dr. Krebser. Kim Nagle Sperryville Relay for Life: ‘a great success’ Congratulations Rappahannock! You did it again. The 2003 Rappahannock County Relay for Life held on May 17-18 was a great success again this year despite the rainy weather. The total figure is over $48,000 and climbing. The Relay is truly an inspiration to me and so many wonderful people in our community. Not only does it raise money for cancer research and treatment, it also honors our cancer survivors and remembers our friends and loved ones that have lost their battle to this dreadful disease. The Relay is also about our community that has taken up a fight against cancer and will stop at nothing until we find a cure. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to everyone that has helped make this year’s event so special. They are our team captains, team members, donors, supporters, committee chairpersons, sponsors and everyone else that helped. Many thanks to our event sponsors: Rappahannock News, Rappahannock National Bank, Rappahannock Lions Club, Rappahannock County Elementary School, Pepsi Cola, Sunbelt Rentals, Early’s Carpet, Inc., Hall Mechanical & Associates, Sam Snead Realty, R.

The reason for their kindness is easy to explain: they knew well how much I respected and admired that truly great educator and human being. As you correctly state in your front-page story, Mrs. Bruce was “well known throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia due to the achievements and successes of her Latin students in statewide academic competitions.” I was one of the many students at Fauquier High School whom Mrs. Bruce taught. Because of Mrs. Bruce’s remarkable ability to teach and to motivate her students to excel, I took first place in the state Latin essay contest one year and second in the state Latin tournament the next. I was far from the exception. Pauline Bruce’s students routinely took top honors, edging out students from large, metropolitan high schools. From the very first day of class, Mrs. Bruce made it clear that you were in her class to learn and that she was in enlarge. She was there to be your teacher, not your pal. If you fell behind, you were doomed to failure. There was homework every night and frequent testing. There was never a discipline problem. Mrs. Bruce taught the classics, and she was a classic. Furthermore, she was a very classy lady. I know that my brother, Wayne Eastham of Warrenton, another of Mrs. Bruce’s students and fans, joins me in my praise of one of Rappahannock County’s finest citizens. Byrd Eastham Charlottesville

Letters Tribute to a ‘professional volunteer’ The death of E. Franklin Warner brings to a close the career of a man who priced himself as being a “professional volunteer.” Piedmont United Way (PUW) was only one of Franklin’s many organizations and causes where he volunteered his time and effort. He joined our board of directors last July and was an active member of the finance committee and the board. Due to his health problems over the past several months, he was unable to attend our board meetings, but he was always receptive to our phone consolations. During our last conversations, just days before his death, Franklin was adamant about attending our annual meeting. His last contribution to PUW was his recent recruitment of a new board member from his county. Franklin was an involved citizen who believed that he could make a difference in his' community and who acted upon that belief with the countless hours he devoted to his many organizations and causes. How apropos that he should die during National Volunteer Recognition Week as Franklin epitomized “volunteerism.” The death of such a dynamic man is felt not only by family and friends, but • throughout the community for which he so passionately cared. Our deepest sympathy goes to his beloved family and friends. We, as a community, mourn the loss of such an active “community builder” who by his lifelong works did make a difference. Dianne M.

Over 50 teams competed in the meet with defending state champion Sussex Central High School tallying 90 points to win decidedly. Bull Run district champion, Brentsville District High School, ran to a distant second with 46 points. RCHS finished fifteenth with a score of 12 points. Ryisha Cook, competing with an injured lower back, sprinted to a third-place finish in the 100m dash with a time of 12.36 seconds. Cook also placed sixth in the long jump with a leap of 16’ 07 J):” inches and grabbed seventh-place in the triple jump with a near personal record of 34’ 7”. Cook’s lower back injury prevented her from competing in the 200m dash, but she finished the day with 11.25 of the team’s 12 points. Anna Rreyling and Samantha Brown both competed in the high jump in extremely tight and tough competition that saw five jumpers clear 5’ 0”. Kreyling cleared 4’ 10” with her best attempt, equivalent to that of the sixththrough eighth-place competitors; but previous misses at lower heights prevented her from a scoring place. Brown leapt to a solid 4’ 8”, also just below the scoring positions. Both Kreyling and Brown improved noticeably as the season drew to a close and will begin next season having the experience of state championship competition. The 4 x 100m relay team entered the competition needing strong efforts from the entire squad to rise from their eleventh-seeding in order to capture one of the top eight scoring places. The team, consisting of Jami Jacobs, Mattie Nawrocki, Courtney Hutcheson, and Ryisha Cook ran one of their best races of the season and finished with , an eighth-place showing to earn one point. The 4 x 100m team consistently improved in all aspects of the event, with particularly strong gains made toward the end of the season. The Lady Panther will begin next year with all members returning from this season’s team. In the boys competition, Sussex Central High School rolled to yet another easy victory with 82 points, nearly 30 more than runner-up William Campbell HS (54.5 points). Soccer weekend recap of games By Nanette Hogan Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock Youth Soccer League played its seventh weekend of games on Saturday, May 31. U-8 Our Motorcycle Factory Rapp Riders won against Madison’s Bavarian Chef Golden Eagles. There was outstanding passing and shooting. Taylor Ordile did very well tenaciously attacking the ball. Case Cramer had four quick goals in the first half booting, the ball into the net. Another big boot was from Patrick Foley blasting the ball almost through the net. We had great passing in the second half from Grace Ott, Daniel Schlosser and Celine Brass who had three break-away goals running down the field. Excellent offense and defensive play from Blake Jeanniton, Josh Jones, Peyton Bailey and Derek Frink passing the ball and keeping it out of our end. U-10 Caporuscio’s U-10 boys, sponsored by Long Island Concrete played Madison. The sun finally shone for the teams to play. Both played well but Madison came out on top 5-0. Rapp stars included James Dawson, Logan McKiernan and Conor O’heir. The Pink Panthers U10 girl’s soccer team sponsored by Sunnyside Farms finally got to play Saturday. The game was home against a powerful Culpeper team. Sierra Hagy started the Panthers off with their first goal. Bryn Sonnet scored in the second period. Sarah Henry and Caitlin Humbles were the goalies for the game and they had their hands full. The final score was 2 to 5. U-12 The U12 girls, the Blue Storm, sponsored by Ivy Cliff Farms, beat Culpeper 4-0. This was our first game in weeks and the girls played a well despite a lack of practice or playing J Megan Wheatley and Lily f J Day both scored in I I the first half. |1^ / Megan, aggressive as always, lifted a high shot over the goalie. Megan scored again in the second half as our three for wards were in a mad scramble for the ball in front of Culpeper’s net. Megan punched it in before the goalie could get hold of it. Lily ran down a cross and buried a shot in the net. Brittany Clatterbuck had a quiet first half in goal but came out at forward in the second half. She was powerful up front the whole second half and took a ball from midfield, past two defenders, and sank a pretty shot one vs. one against the Culpeper goalie. Sarah Hazel and Stevie Ross were impressive all day. Sarah crossed the ball to Lily on the first half goal after working the ball up from midfield. She made some great tackles on defense and worked the ball up the sideline to our forwards. Stevie also made some awesome tackles, chasing down loose balls, and working them back up the sideline. Lots of aggressive, hard play from both of them. The Blue Storm finishes the season with a Friday evening game at home against Madison and a Saturday game at home against Orange. The U-12 boys, sponsored by Blue Water Builders faced a highly competitive Madison team on the RCES home field. With many Rapp teams shifting their games’ locations due to wet field conditions, it was refreshing to finally play on home turf. Rapp scored early and built a 6-1 first half lead with Bennet Eastham taking advantage of his teams passing and his own hustle. The second half saw Madison come back strong scoring quickly. Jacob Racer put in a strong effort in the goalie (much to his mother’s (assistant coach Racer) surprise and made several dramatic saves. Rapp kept the pressure on and scored several more goals to secure a 105 victory.

Photos courtesy of Jeanne Drevas rhis work by Jeanne Drevas is titled Sentinel” and is made of firewood and clay. It s 12” in diameter and 28” high. Jeanne Drevas converses with nature through her art BY AUSTIN BOUFFARD Special to the Rappahannock News Relaxing in the shade after a day of yard work, Jeanne Drevas sits on her back porch reading Sculpture magazine. When a visitor arrives, she smiles and points to her small pond. “This is my favorite thing I’ve ever made,” said Drevas. “It’s architectural (and) it’s in the land.” As soon as one steps onto her country property in Sperryville on Potter’s Ridge Lane there is a feeling from the surroundings that an artist and sculptor lives here—from the hand-carved oak frame on the front door of her house to the cement hot tub she made, her biggest “pot.” Around Rappahannock County, Drevas is known for her pottery. Over the years though, she said she has become more environmentally conscious with her work. Three years ago she started working with bark and other natural mate rials. Drevas will share her artistic nature with others in a two-day workshop called “Conversations with Nature.” On June 28 and 29, her workshop will “explore the possibilities of manipulating bark.” The workshop involves stripping bark from a newly felled tree and creating objects from it. Drevas said she is interested in running a year-long version of the workshop. The workshops are “beyond the crafting; it’s attuning ourselves with nature.” Drevas wasn’t always involved with nature. She thought she wanted to live in New York City. She said she went away to college trying to please her parents by becoming a biologist but she got “too romantically involved.” Ending up in the country atmosphere at the University of Connecticut, she became a sculpture major and discovered that she belonged in the country. Having known Rappahannock because her father lived here, it was an easy decision to move here. She’s been in Rappahannock ever since, 30 years and growing. “I love making homes, niches for me and whatever spirits wish to inhabit them,” she writes on her website, www.jeannedrevas.com. “I was bom to make hobbit houses.” Drevas cleared the land and built her own hobbit house on a ridge in Rappahannock. She wrote that as a child she would make little houses in the woods. As an adult, her life’s work has been her handmade house. The front door of her house has a carved oak frame. The dining and coffee tables are curving wild cherry and her closet and cabinet handles are clay and honeysuckle. She also has rush ceilings, whirlpool sinks, basket lamps and bamboo walls. “I started out as a potter and I count my Ferro-cement hot tub and a fish pool as the biggest ‘pots’ I have made to date.” Drevas said she has learned that one of the problems with working with natural materials is that they can be very ephemeral; she said she likes the fact that what she creates can decompose. Because of the decomposition she has to ask herself: “How much time do I want to invest if it’s going to go away in three hours for instance or a couple days?” Drevas said her work usually takes 10 times as long to do as she thought it would. “(There is) a lot of fiddling involved. It takes time to go out and collect the things, and then sometimes you have to dry them; sometimes you store them in a certain way and that takes time. I guess I’ve done things in as little as three days but more of them take days and days and days or maybe even three weeks.” Like her house, her studio has artistic pieces surrounding all who enter, along with wrapped pieces of tree trunks waiting their turn for Drevas to discover a way to preserve their natural beauty in a creative way. Drevas said that one of the themes in her work is “honoring what’s about to be lost. “My fascination is to somehow preserve them.” Three of her pieces are at the Long View Gallery in Sperryville. Her most recent piece is included and she said it shows her progressing to a looser form. “It’s basically the shape of the tree but I added a little bit with weaving,” she said. Drevas mentioned she was on her way out to put up flyers about her workshop and then look at pine trees that might provide more bark for her and her classes. She smiled and said^ “This is my passion.” j Book offerings on the local scene A new novel By Jim Gannon Special to the Rappahannock News Local author Carolyn Reeder specializes in writing historical fiction for young readers. Her subjects and settings range from the upheaval forced upon Virginia mountain families by the development of Shenandoah National Park to the turmoil and dangers faced by adolescents during the Civil War. In all her books, she remains the teacher that she was before becoming the writer that she is. Young readers and their adult companions will have a chance to hear the author discuss her books on Thursday, June 5 at 7 p.m. at the Old Sperryville Bookshop on Main Street in Sperryville. She will also sign her newest novel, “Before the Creeks Ran Red,” which tells three interlocking stories involving three young teenagers caught up in the events leading to the Civil War. Reeder’s books are geared to young persons aged eight to 12 years old, though they can be read and enjoyed by readers older and younger. Her presentation will be a chance for students who are interested in writing to hear how an author develops ideas and shapes them into a book and builds stories of adventure and daring involving young Americans in a true historical setting, such as the Great Depression or World War II. The author lives in Maryland but spends a good deal of time at her second home in Rappahannock County. Susan Clough Wyatt Author Her familiarity with local history and geography is evident in her books titled “Grandpa’s Mountain,” which involves a Blue Ridge Mountain family fighting to preserve its homestead against the government’s plans for Shenandoah National Park, and “Moonshiner’s Son,” the story of a 12year-old boy hoping to foll6wJthe family tradition of making whiskey despite the Prohibition era’s laws. See BOOK, Page B8 A memoir Susan Clough Wyatt, a former landowner and weekend resident of Rappahannock County and author of “Thirty Acres More or Less: Restoring a Farm in Virginia,” provides an illuminating and often humorous memoir about her family’s adventures in the county in the mid1970s. After purchasing the old Ausberry place, a small rundown farm near Amissville, Wyatt, her late husband David McClintock, and their young children spent weekends for several years reclaiming this preCivil War property. They worked hard and had fun, while learning many valuable lessons in the process. The local residents and neighbors the family met are highlighted in the story. Wyatt draws from diaries she kept from 1976-84 and from recent interviews with former neighbors. She will sign books on June 14 at Hackley’s Store in Amissville from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and at the Rappahannock Historical Society in Washington from 2-5 p.m. The 120-page paperback contains over 60 black and White photos and sells for $12.95. Wyatt’s book is an inspiration for persons thinking of restoring an old farm or those who have fond memories of their own restoration efforts. Donna Fisher, administrator of the Rappahannock Historical Society said the book provides “a wonderful look at a special time in our county’s history.” Contact Fisher 675-1163 for further information. ‘Bowling for Columbine:’ best documentary award By Rosie Mullany Special to the Rappahannock News Michael Moore’s latest documentary, a rambling inquiry into the sources of violence and fear in American culture, is tendentious and infuriating, full of ideological cheap shots and bullying interviews. It is also generous, disturbing, honest and funny. “Bowling for Columbine” will be shown by the Rappahannock Association for Arts in the Community (RAAC) Friday, June 6 at 8 p.m. at The Theatre on Gay Street in Little Washington. Moore, in the good-natured, confrontational style familiar from “Roger and Me” and “TV Nation,” his sadly short-lived series on Fox, tracks his subject far and wide, a little too far and a little too wide perhaps. His starting point is the horrific massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo. Like everyone else, he wonders how such a thing could have happened, and what it says about contemporary American society. These questions quickly lead to larger ones: Why do Americans shoot one another so much more often than the citizens of other developed countries? Why do our lives seem to be governed by fear? The string of killings around Washington last year provide a grim reminder that these issues are always timely. These are hardly simple questions and Moore vacillates between acknowledging their complexity and giving in to his own urge to simplify. Is violent popular culture to blame? No, because in a country like Japan, with a tiny fraction of our gun deaths, people consume super-brutal movies, video games and comic books with even more voracity than we do. Is it our history of warfare and brutality? Compared with imperial Britain and Nazi Germany, he suggests, we’re downright pacific. Though it may not always convince, this movie asks important questions, provokes thought and has been debated with ferocity everywhere it has been screened. “Bowling for Columbine” has racked up many honors: Best documentary of all time from the International Documentary Association; Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature of 2002; and Best Foreign Film of 2002 by the French Academy of Cinema, to name a few. “Chicago”, originally announced for June 6, will be shown on July 4.

You must enrich your soil for your flowers to be more beautiful. Maybe you can “get by” with tired old dirt, but your garden will not be as vibrant or your plants as “happy". As this youngster’s parents teach her to enrich the soil, they also are teaching her how to nurture a vibrant spirit by worshipping together in God’s House each Sabbath. In story and in song, she learns of his Heavenly Father’s role in her life...both present and future. She discovers the way to cultivate her spirit with God’s unconditional love, no matter what the circumstances. Do you enrich your spirit regularly in God’s House? Do you want to feel more vibrant instead of just “getting by”? You can when you worship each week and team of the Creator's love for you. “He who gives heed to the Word will prosper, and happy is he who trusts in the Lord.” [Prov.16:20] SUNDAY MONDAY Luke John 11:1-13 11:15-31 TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY John John John 15:18 -16:1 16:5-15 1616-33 FRIDAY SATURDAY Ezekiel Joel 37:1-11 238-3:8 Scriptum Selected by The Amencen Bible Society Copyright 2003 KenterW*amj Newspaper Services P 0 Bo« 8005 Oafloflwjvilie V* 22906 www kwnaws r.am iwmii 3 MAItfimAtfCE&£7(VZCE Sad Plan Slr^iv Seal A Tftzx TUc Fkm *OHrkxwTAtKie*,L~kZrv'’ ABERDEEN BARN Steaks • Seafood • Prime Rib Banquets • Luncheons in the Holiday Inn of Culpeper 15401 825-1037 Jimmie’s Auto Parts Complete line of foreign & domestic parts 161 Saunders St. • Culpeper (540) 825-8030 The Color Shoppe Paint • Carpet • Wallcovering Blinds Rt 29 South • 2 miles from Culpeper Old Hudson Ham Building 547-9743 540 547 3296 Find your new home With the L Rappahannock News 2> 540-675-3349 Rappahannock Ncuis Church Activities are brought to you courtesy of • these advertisers and the Rappahannock News Community saddened by death of Franklin Warner Our community has been saddened by the passing of Franklin Warner of Twin Maples Farm which occurred at his home on May 20 and was laid to rest in Shiloh Baptist Church Cemetery the following Saturday.

Virginia F. Atkins Born in Rappahannock Virginia Frazier Atkins, 78, of Front Royal died on May 31 at the Lynn Care Center. Mrs. Atkins was born ■June 12, 1924 in Rappahannock to the late Henry B. and Annie Baker Frazier. She was employed for many years with the Airlie Foundation in Warrenton and was a member of the Gid Brown Baptist Church in Washington. Mrs. Atkins was preceded l Book From Page B1 Reeder and her husband Jack also are the co-authors of three books of non-fiction that tell the history of the development of Shenandoah National Park and of the culture of the mountain people who were displaced from their land by the federal government during the 1930s Depression. The author says she never planned to be a writer. From the time she was 12 years old, when she taught a neighborhood child to read, she knew she would be a teacher. During her years as a teacher, she and her husband began to research and write books on the park, and later she turned to writing fiction for young readers. “At first, I wrote only during school vacations, but before long I began to write during the school year too,” the author said. “Writing became more and more important to me until finally I decided to give up teaching and be a full-time author.” The program at the book shop is free and open to the public. Parents and grandparents are particularly encouraged to bring their family’s young readers. Free sodas, coffee and cookies will be served, and no homework assignments will be given. Inspiring TftmgfttA by Randy Minter ADDRESSING SPIRITUAL NEEDS As the terminally ill face death, they often question the meaning of life and their purpose in it. While religion may be defined as a set of standards and beliefs that accompanies a religious practice, these questions are spiritual in nature. Spirituality is a result of the wisdom we have accumulated throughout our lives about our existence and our relationship to living things. Often, spirituality is a primary component of religion, but it can also exist in the absence of religion beliefs. If so, it may be music, art, reading, praying, meditating, or some other impetus that helps the dying get in touch with their spiritual side. Caregivers are encouraged to talk with the dying about their spiritual concerns. We all have a spiritual side, even if we do not all share the same beliefs. When it comes to the dying process, turning to one’s core beliefs and leaning on the support of others who share those beliefs can be a boon to all. At the Moser Funeral Home we understand how challenging it is for a family to deal with death, so we offer the kind of support you need, from logistics, to service planning, to following through on arrangements. We’re at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton. Call 540-347-3431. "Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men Herodotus in death by her husband, Bennie Lee Atkins and a daughter, Rosie Helen Atkins.
