Waiting to be man s best friend 0 By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer Life is picking up for Vera, a sturdy 55-pound yellow lab mix with eentle eves and a been placed for three months and is doing fine. The shelter is directed by Patti Want, a young woman with a college degree in animal care. (“Horses,” she laughs, “were her specialty.”) She can you tell the first name and best attributes of each of the two dozen dogs in the shelter. Vera is a “very affectionate girl” and well behaved, said Want. She is currently heartworm positive and is receiving her treatments and will be available for adoption the second week in May. Where Vera is elegant, and ladvlilcp Woodstock, a friendly pit bull is filled with energy and outgoing. He was trained as a U.S. Custom’s Service drug hunter. One dog would spot the drugs and sit next to it. It was Woodstock’s job to run out, tear the container open and expose the narcotics. He was in law enforcement for a year and then sort of lost his heart for it. Want says he loves to play ball and Frisbee, but he’s so rambunctious he’d be better with older youngsters. There’s Storm, of whom Want says “there isn’t a human she doesn’t love;” Johnny “a fairly laid hack boy,” Hailey whn haJ to rnma Hark tn thp R AWT. ! shelter because the family is now caring for an Alzheimer’s patient and there is Simon who was left tied to the mailbox of a RAWL board member with a note telling RAWL how wonderful he is and that he needs a home.

Her dog karma was watching out for her that day, though, and she was taken to the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League shelter on Route 639 in Amissville known region wide as a “no-kill" animal shelter. RAWL finds adoption or “re-homing” for the dogs who come there, no matter how long it takes. Not long ago, they placed Gizmo, who had lived at the shelter sinee October 1999 He’s 66 There is a lot of touching, playing and talking with the dogs. Patti Want director, RAWL ro The aging of Rappahannock County’s landfill Supervisors study where to put garbage, review other facilities By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer In a state which has been first or second in the nation in the amount of out-of-state garbage received in recent years, the aging of Rappahannock County’s landfill is no slight matter to its Board of Supervisors. The supervisors have taken under — _ report by Joyce Engineering, Inc., of Richmond setting out the options for the county when its current landfill off Route 211 West is full. At Monday’s Board of Supervisors’ meeting, the board agreed to review a waste facility in Culpeper County. The board could take action as soon as summer. “Based on the _ (Rappahannock) facili ty s current waste stream, the estimated life of Cell 3 is approximately 4.9 years,” the engineering report said. The “cell” is a land area of approximately four acres and is the third and final segment of Rappahannock’s sanitary waste disposal area. Though Rappahannock County legally has never been the site for dumping out-of- state waste, Virginia is under massive pressure to accept the waste from New York City and other regions with inadequate waste disposal. Both administrations of Virginia governors James Gilmore and Mark Warner have been in a lengthy and often losing battle to limit the waste flowing into Virginia by the tons. “In 2000, Virginia imported 4.5 mil lion tons of solid waste," according to a recent address hv Bob Burnley, director of Virginia's Department of Environmental Quality One of the best examples of difficulties. County Administrator John McCarthy said, is the landfill in nearby Page County., Rappahannock County and several other surrounding flow. McCarthy said ho believed the additional waste was coming from Washington, D. C. In March the landfill was shut down by Attorney General Jerry Kilgore. On April 8, Page County and the operator appealed and on April 9 a Richmond judge ordered the landfill reopened pending a full hearing. According to Joyce Engineering, Rappahannock has several options One is to build a new cell, 4, about the same size as Cell 3. This would pro vide the county with 23.7 years oflandfill capacity. d’o continue to operate Cell 3 would cost some $4,458,886 or $169.76 per See LANDFILL, Page A7 V-UUIUK.^ opening a regional landfill with P: : '. but for economic reasons, the plan never went fonvard: Instead. Page County went forward with its Battle Creek landfill on its own. It was licensed to receive 250 tons of waste per day, but state inspectors said it was accepting 2.000 tons a day and had difficulties managing this enormous over 66 In 2000, Virginia imported 4.5 million tons of solid waste.

Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer After a brief debate on fairness, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors voted Monday to pay $200 a month more toward the cost of health insurance to county employees who have dependents. In other votes, the supervisors adopted a $10.4 million school budget and approved the Farmland Protection Program. The skyrocketing medical insurance costs have meant many lower paid county employees, like deputy sheriffs, have seen their cost of living adjustments over the last five years wiped out by insurance premium hikes. The board acted so that county employees who choose family coverage would be eligible to sign up in the plan’s “open period” between April 1 and May 15, even though proposals Chairman Charles “Pete” Estes for new coverage begin on Oct. 1. “While it’s difficult to reliably predict the probable enrollment of the expanded benefit, I estimate the total impact to be in the vicinity of $36,000 Supervisors to vote on kitchen hood for high school program The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors is expected to vote shortly to build a commercial exhaust hood for Rappahannock County High School’s culinary arts program. Though the School Board included a $38,000 request for building the hood in its 2004-2005 budget, the supervisors apparently viewed it as a more immediate safety issue and said it would be built under current dollars, Superintendent of Schools Bob annually,” County Administrator John McCarthy said in a memorandum. Chairman Charles “Pete” Estes said he was anxious that the dates Chappell said.

Timothy A. Coravos, who lives on New Moon Road off Route 231 near Nethers, was charged with possession of marijuana, drunk in public, and two felonies: damaging a police vehicle in the amount of $1,000 or more and assaulting a police officer. At 10:43 p.m., the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 hang-up call. When the dispatcher called back the number, there was no response. Deputy Robert Fincham and Sgt. Chuck Moore immediately responded to a home on Harris Hollow Road as is customary to check out 911 hang ups, authorities said. Arriving at the residence, police encountered Coravos who was arrested for being drunk in public. While being transported away in a Ford Crown Victoria police cruiser, Coravos became “very agitated” when he learned he was going to jail, authorities said, and he “did some damage to the cruiser and himself.” “He was a handful,” said Sheriff Larry Sherertz. “He kicked out the right rear window with his feet and his head.” He also hit his head against the protective screen dividing the front and back seats, said Sherertz. Coravos, who was bleeding from his injuries, was transported to Fauquier Hospital by the Washington Volunteer Rescue Squad. The Warrenton police department was called in for assistance at the hospital where Coravos received stitches to his forehead. He was held in the Fauquier County jail. Later, Coravos was transported to the Rappahannock County jail and held without bail. The officer Coravos was charged with assaulting is Fincham. At a court hearing Tuesday, District Court Judge Charles B. Foley ordered Coravos to a residential substance abuse treatment program at Edge Hill in Winchester for 30 days. The judge also ordered Coravos to undergo psychological evaluation there. In the courtroom were Coravos’ mother and father from Maine as well as his brother who lives here. Coravos has other charges pending. In January, Virginia State Police charged him with reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and driving on a suspended license after the 1993 Subaru 4-door sedan he was driving went out of control on Route 231 and ended up abandoned in the opposite lane. The May 11 date for trial on these charges likely will be set later.

Fauquier Hospital’s Bistro: where to eat By George Rowand Rappahannock News Staff Writer The newest place to eat in Warrenton has a wood-burning pizza oven. It has a large salad bar with two different homemade soups a day. It serves fried chicken, subs, Mongolian barbecue, kebabs, made-to-order pasta, and the breads and pastries are made fresh on the premises every day. And, oh by the way, it’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Can’t guess what place possible could combine all those qualities? It’s called the Bistro on the Hill, and it’s located inside the new wing of the Fauquier Hospital. Into the future “This is a big, big adjustment for our staff,” said Jane Burdick, the hospital’s director of nutrition and food services. “We truly went from a 19508style hospital cafeteria to a state-of-the-art facility. It’s a total 180-degree turn. “Now we’re in the 21st century, and we’re ahead of the game.” Staring at the small tables and the wood flooring, highlighted by the many large windows that let light into the room, it is difficult to believe that one is eating inside a hospital. This is unlike any hospital eatery seen in these parts. The Bistro on the Hill jr%A«,rra Rappahannock News Photo/Mark F. Sypher HEALTH FOOD: An extensive salad bar is featured at the Bistro on the Hill. The cafe sells salad for 20 cents an ounce. opened quietly about a month . ago. “We wanted a very soft opening, and we really haven’t advertised,” Burdick said. Still, word gets around, especially in a small community, and the place at lunchtime is filled with customers. Many are hospital staff, family and friends of patients, or workers from the construction that continues at the hospital. Yet there are also a number of county residents with no connection to the hospital who have just shown up, drawn by the food and the prices. “We’re starting to have little groups come up here for lunch,” Burdick said. “We have the best pizza around. It comes out of a wood-fired oven, and the chef has 14 years’ experience in a New York pizzeria.” Burdick is impressed with the staff. “The talent we have here is incredible,” she stated. “We have someone who formerly worked at the Inn at Little Washington. One of our chefs lives in Germantown, Md., but commutes here every day because she was so impressed. She can use her culinary skills here. “Our bakery ... the baking team is second-to-none. There’s probably 50 years’ experience among the three.” Burdick emphasized that the food served in the hospital has moved up in quality because of the opening of the Bistro. “The patients eat the same food that is served in the restaurant,” she said. “The goal here is to dispel the notion of liospital food.’" The goodies available from the bakery are impressive in scope. They include doughnuts, cinnamon buns, muffins and .Danish pastries, as well as cakes, pies, cookies and breads of all types, including loaves that are meant to be taken home. “Every piece of bread is made here,” Burdick said. “The patients get fresh rolls with Lunch and dinner every day. The burgers we sell are placed on a homemade roll.” Something for everyone The cafe — because of its shape, size and atmosphere it would be unseemly to call it a “cafeteria” — has seats for about 200 diners. Burdick, a registered dietitian, said that the Bistro on the Hill is designed for the traffic the hospital generates. “The reason we’re here is because we have 900 employees, and we want to give them — and the patients and their families — a good place to eat,” she explained. The space lends itself to gatherings. “People meet here, especially during the off hours ” Burdick said. The cafe is designed to suit the time constraints of its customers. “We have an area of food that you can grab and go,” Burdick said. And some of the items — like the salad bar items and the soft ice cream — are sold by the ounce. “The salad bar is a full meal,” Burdick stated. “We have two homemade soups every day, and one is always vegetarian. “We wanted to provide something for everyone, from grab-and-go food to comfort food to soups, salads and meals made right in front of you,” ‘Rivers and Roots’ music festival to be held on May 29 By Amy Silver Special to the Rappahannock News A “Rivers and Roots” music festival, sponsored by Sunnyside Farms to support Rappahannock County music education programs, will be held on Saturday, May 29 from noon to 8:30 p.m., in the field beside Sunnyside Farms Famous Rest Stop at the intersection of highways 211 and 522 in Sperryville.

Burdick continued. “No one can want for anything in here.” The cafe has espresso and cappuccino machines, and there is a catering element to the business. “We cater lunches to Highland School,” Burdick explained. “It’s the eighth year we’ve been doing this, and I’m sure that the children are seeing a difference in the quality of the food because of the chefs.” Most menu items run $5 or less. The salad bar costs 20 cents an ounce, while something like a cheese omelet goes for $1.85. The Night Owl Cafe is open from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m., providing sandwiches, soup, burgers and the like, as well as breakfast items. “The Night Owl Cafe is basically a mini-bistro,” Burdick said. “We have a grill, and we can prepare fried chicken, cheese steak subs, burgers and subs.

There are some extra benefits to being connected to a hospital, Burdick noted. “The health inspectors are regulars in here, so you know it’s the cleanest place around,” she said, laughing. For Burdick, it’s more than just a place to eat. “I’ve been here since 1987, and this is pretty much a dream come true,” she said. “I’m so grateful to the senior management for allowing us to do this.” The Bistro on the Hill is located in the new wing of the Fauquier Hospital, just behind the new main entrance.

Certainly President Richard M. Nixon was the model for that, after stomping George McGovern to get to the White House, he ends up leaving in a helicopter of disgrace and saving the Democrats from extinction. So now we have the Virginia Republican House of Delegates’ leadership which nearly shut down the Virginia government only to be diverted by the heroism of 17 Republicans who joined up with the Democrats to keep the Commonwealth solvent. Last month when the budget deal was announced, Virginians across the state heaved a sigh of relief and started making plans for summer in Chincoteague or Virginia Beach. Not so fast! As it turns out, the nine conferees who were assigned to decide how to spend the $1.38 billion in new revenue are trapped in the same time-warp as the legislature was and by this week had still not come up with a budget. Some of it may be legitimate disagreement among honorable men, but some of it may be the same outside influences that have stalked the Republican majority through the legislative cycle. Finance Committee Chairman John H. Chichester, (R-Stafford) has proved himself to be a legislator for Virginia first, but others in the House panel (there are five House members on the panel and four Senators) may still be under the influence of the obsessive anti-tax ideologues in Washington. Grover Norquist of the Americans for Tax Reform and Jim Parmelee of Republicans United for Tax Relief and a host of other lesser conservatives have shadowed the Virginia Republicans like cowboys herding cattle, threatening any that strayed on fighting taxes with punishment. This helped to keep the Republican majority on a deluded course for 108 days this spring and handed Democratic Gov. Mark Warner a major victory when Virginians got fed up and persuaded the legislature to act. Again it is time for Virginians to act, perhaps even more crucial that they take a hand now then last month. It is May 6 and with each passing day contracts are snarled, school planning delayed, county governments frozen. It is time for getting on the telephone, the fax, the email, the snail mail and letting the Richmond Nine know that we want them to carry out their governmental duty and complete a budget. rvne* Cc<+>*•'* *Vw'VAp«i i r -—-—--——_umsutf, CICADA \ NUMIA MONTH/ 0\) ss -TTi n i<li/ urn oh Amo 3At-g *TBT C.ICAOA UfK'MoC ^HloceMIE CKAQAj Letters A thanks for helping to keep Rappahannock beautiful Many thanks to the citizens cf Rappahannock County who helped with recent efforts to clean up trash along county roads, streams, rivers and older dump sites. The beauty of spring is not as tarnished by the thoughtlessness of others because of your willingness to take the time to do a nasty job. Even the overseer at the county dump commented on how much better the roads looked, and how many more bags of trash had been coming in from the clean ups. The Child Care and Learning Center (CCLC) had one of the youngest and largest clean up crews, and had. a display of some of the “trashy treasures” they found. Thanks also to those who clean up regularly throughout the year, whether on an “adopted” road or simply because they care about keeping Rappahannock a beautiful and special place. We will have another clean up in late autumn. Hunt Harris County Clean Up Coordinator Thanks for making festival ‘a grand occasion’ The weather held on to crown the lively events of Headwaters’ Second Annual International Festival on April 25. Many school and community members joined in making the festival a grand occasion. We are grateful to the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community and the Curriculum Enrichment Program for their generous contributions which provided “More than a. Drum” and the “Black Heritage” jazz group. Special thanks goes to the following participants: Yvonne Andualum, Ray Boc, Judy Burke, Edie Clark, David Covington, Jean Elizabeth, Lynne Fournier, Margaret Gottlieb, Griffin Tavern, Roger Hille, Nannette Hogan, Bob Inglis, Roger Jones (Sound), John Kiser, (Master of Ceremonies), Peter Kreyling (Sound), Mike Leake, Pud Maeyer, Debbie Massie, Roger Mello, Sallie Morgan, Tom and Ben Pendleton, Roy Pullen, Robin Purnell, Rappahannock National Bank (tents), RCES students and teachers, RCHS musicians, RCHS Spanish Club, RCHS French Club, Harriette Rosenblatt, Trinity Church, Mike Tupper, Luke and Jane Wilson (Posters & Programs) and Matt Yonkey.

Over 100 attendees took home the treasures of their choice. Combined, these two factors made this year’s auction one of the most successful in recent history. Additionally, a great communal, social time was enjoyed in spite of the rain that did not dampen spirits for having a fun-filled evening. Thanks to the 26 business owners for their support with products, services and gifts and a special thanks to Mauri and Bill Payne for opening their facility and conducting the activities. We are able to say that this one event will contribute significantly to those serving others in need and those living in our community that need a helping hand. Proceeds are used within the county for the benefit of all of us. Members, Rappahannock Lions Club ‘Everything was greatly appreciated’ I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for everything they did during my recent stay at Fauquier Hospital. Everything was greatly appreciated. Special thanks are extended to Sheriff Larry Sherertz, Rappahannock News’ Mary Ann Kuhn and Nicholas M. Horrock; Fauquier Times Democrat’s Barbara Norris and John Toler; and the Washington Volunteer Rescue Squad. Ann Spieker and her rescue team were exceptional when they responded to the calls. I also would like to thank family and friends for their visits, prayers and phone calls. Jan Clatterbuck Washington ‘Hang in there, Amy’ Hallelujah Amy Hitt for telling it like it is! More members of the church congregation should have the gumption to speak up about church activities. Women are not to be silenced, an old carry-over from St. Paul’s tradition of Jewish culture. All men (mankind) are created “equal” in the eyes of God. Hate the error and love the sinner. Judge not. He or she who has no sin cast the first stone. Hang in there Amy, the truth has set you free. God still loves you. Let God take care of the “misdirected” flock. Charles Ventura Lumber Bridge, N.C. From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News Down Memory Lane 40 YEARS AGO May 7, 1964 The Rappahannock Junior Chamber of Commerce received its charter Monday evening, May 4 during appropriate ceremonies at the charter night banquet at Panorama. This newly organized chapter has 26 charter members. The program was opened by Charles K. Estes leading the group in the pledge of allegiance to the flag, followed by the invocation by the Rev. Charles E. Glaenzer, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church. T. Carlyle Lea, Jr., president of the Rappahannock Chapter, introduced guests present and Mrs. Dorothy C. Davis, mayor of the town of Washington, extended a welcome to all For sale: Gently rolling, fertile 165 acres, good stream, no improvements, $200 an acre. Notice: Henry’s Grocery, Sperryville, announces that beginning May 1, 1964, all sales will be conducted on a cash only basis. Henry A. Brown, owners. The Sunday evening Couples Forum of Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church, Sperryville, honored their minister, Dr. Clyde F. Melton with a birthday party in the fellowship hall of the church Sunday evening. 25 YEARS AGO May 3, 1979 The Rappahannock ski area’s snowless Alpine slide moved a step closer to construction last Wednesday as the planning commission voted unanimous approval to the site development plan for the 300-acre Harris Hollow tract. The planners also unanimously approved the concept of Rapp Ski Limited’s long range proposals which include new maintenance and ski rental shops, lifts and ski trails. “From what I feel was the potential up there (at the Harris Hollow site), we’ll be extremely fortunate if that’s what occurs,” commented planner Newbill Miller in reference to the five-year proposal. The campaign for Commonwealth Attorney got underway last Thursday evening as candidates Peter Luke and Douglas Baumgardner spoke at the county Republican Party’s mass meeting in the courthouse. If the start was any indication, the race promises to be a high toned, “stick-to-the issues” fight right up to election day in November. Baumgardner was more than generous in his praise for Luke and Luke was equally as complimentary in describing Baumgardner. Marilyn Merrill Bailey of Washington has declared her intentions this week to seek the office of Commissioner of the Revenue in the election this November. Deputy Commissioner Merle Scoggin has already announced her candidacy. Mrs. Bailey, 48, is a Rappahannock native, the daughter ofL. V. Merrill of Washington. She is married to Leon Bailey and they have four children, ages 10 to grown and three grandchildren. 10 YEARS AGO May 4, 1994 Following some heated campaigning during the last few weeks, the townspeople of Washington elected a new mayor and treasurer Tuesday. Seventy-eight percent of the eligible voters in the town voted which was down from the 94 percent who voted in the 1990 election. Stewart Willis was elected as mayor receiving 64 percent of the votes and ousting two-term mayor Dean Morehouse. Tom Zumwalt garnered 55 percent of the votes to earn him the position of Treasurer of the town. He ran against Louise van Dort. Both were vying for the position left by Brad Fisher who decided not to run for re-election. Votes for the five seats on Council were very close. The top votegetters were Newbill Miller and Janice Moffett, followed by Ray Gooch, who was elected as a write-in candidate, and Steve Critzer. Charles Eldred and Reinhardt Lynch tied for the fifth position on Council. State election law provides that in the event of a tie. . . the electoral board shall proceed publicly to determine by lot which of the candidates shall be declared elected.” Retired Judge Rayner Snead’s Hollow Boy: Remembrance of Life in the Gid Brown Hollow is selling well at the Rappahannock News and Cabin Fever Books. This small volume is crammed full of tales of Rappahannock in the 20s and 30s. COMPILED BY MARY ANN KUHN

Rappahannock soccer is in full swing By Anders Drew Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock County Soccer Association kicked off its spring season April 17 and parents, spectators and teams have seen great victories and tough losses. The season still has more exciting games of all age groups to be played Saturday mornings at Rappahannock County Elementary School. Coach Anders Drew’s U-8 Panthers played a very tough team—Coach Dwayne Pierson’s Madison team. Down by a few goals, Rapp ushered a comeback with some determined play from Stephanie Nicholson and Taylor Ordile. Trey Swindler scored a goal in the second quarter with a big kick almost from midfield. Emily Massie played her position well, waiting for passes from Jarrett Stoner that just couldn’t get past the tough Madison defense. Daniel Schlosser, however, had a great goal towards the end that sat on the goal line after a great shot by Ben Estes. It brought their spirits back up, but most were disappointed in the outcome. The score was 5-2. It was their first loss of the season, but these Panthers are tough. Coach Drew plays Coach Pierson again on May 22 in what should be an exciting rematch. The U-10 boys team the Yellow Jackets coached by Jeff Hazel and Anders Drew won their game against Madison, 30. Jonathan Letsen and Woody Hazel each scored a goal. Andrew Oyster scored a goal with the assistance of Dylan Stoner. Logan Stephens, Andrew Oyster and Trevor Lee protected the goal in the first half while Dylan Stoner did an outstanding job as goalie. Robbie Adams and Woody Hazel did a great job on defense as Jonathan Letsen played goalie for the first time in the .second half. K.T. Milam exercised great defense keeping Madison's offense from coming near the goal. The team is working very hard at passing and working together. Last week, The YellowJackets tied Culpeper in an exhilarating game 5-5. Andrew Oyster and Jonathan Letsen each scored a goal. Tanyon Lee scored two goals and Logan Stephens had his first goal of the season (which he claims was from his lucky knee). Cheerleading try-outs, camp coming up Try-outs for the 2004 fall JV and Varsity cheerleading squads will be held Tuesday, May 25 through Thursday, May 27 at the Rappahannock County High School from 6 to 8 p.m. There will be two days of practice where students will be taught a cheer, chants and possibly a short dance.

Legislators: College degree isn’t needed to home-school By LaTasha James Capital News Service RICHMOND — How educated must parents be to homeschool their children? In Virginia, they should be required only to have a high school diploma, legislators say. Over Gov. Mark Warner’s objections, the General Assembly has reaffirmed its support for a bill that would allow parents with only a high school diploma to home-school their children without a stateapproved curriculum. Warner had proposed amending the bill. He wanted to require such parents to meet the score required for beginning teachers on the Praxis or SAT tests, or to score above the 50th percentile on any other test approved by the Virginia Department of Education. (Praxis is an exam most states use to license teachers; the SAT is a college entrance exam.) But during its one-day “veto session” last month, the House of Delegates voted 37-62 to reject Warner’s amendment to 14* x 40” Buildings i Sorting at $6958 Custom Built Other Sizes & Styles Avail www5taffordnursery.com 1540.654.5410 Farfelu Vineyards Moms Rule!

The governor’s goal was to “ensure that parents would be able to pass the same test that the children are asked to pass,” said his press secretary, Ellen Qualls. Warner now must decide whether to sign the bill, veto it or let it become law without his signature. He has until July 1 to make that decision. Under current law, parents who have only a high school diploma and want to homeschool their children have two options: • They must enroll their children in a correspondence course approved by Virginia’s superintendent of public instruction. • Or they must follow a curriculum that, in the judgment of the division superintendent, includes the Standards of Learning objectives adopted by the state Board of Education. Parents also must show that they can provide an adequate education for their children. Families who home-school under a religious exemption do not have the same requirements. In contrast, parents who have a college degree can homeschool their children without a state-approved curriculum. House Bill 675 would give the same latitude to parents with only a high school degree. Shay Seaborne, who has a high school diploma, has been home-schooling her two children — Caitlin, 14 and Laurel, 11 — for nine years. “Like all parents who file under the Home Instruction Statute, we are required to provide annual evidence of progress for each child. I believe this is enough accountability and an adequate safety net,” she said. Once the bill takes effect, Seaborne said she will no longer have to refer to the SOLs in the description of her children’s program of study, and she will not have to provide evidence of her ability to teach. According to the Virginia Home Education Association, the number of home-schooled children in the state has increased steadily: from 14,323 in the 2000-01 school year, to 16,107 in 2001-02, to 16,542 in 2002-03.

Real estate transactions The following real estate transactions were recorded recently in the Rappahannock County Circuit Court Clerk’s office: Harry Carlip to Piedmont Partners, LLC, two tracts, one 0.182 acres, Hampton District. $455,000. William V. McNefee to JML Investments LLC, 2.7184 acres, Stonewall District. $100,000. Gay T. Hardwick to Gay T. Hardwick and husband, 25.0290 acres, Jackson District. Laura E. Glennie to W. Page Landfill From Page A1 ton. Cell 4 would cost $1.67 million for design, $400,000 for closure of Cell 3 and approximately $1.03 million for equipment purchase and replacement ovep the life of Cell 4. They estimated the operating costs at $129.89 per ton. Joyce said the main “financial” advantage of this was the “decreasing incremental cost over time.” The report said that “the larger the county waste stream, the more cost effective the Continued Landfilling Option” becomes. It also said that the county “could accept out-of-county waste at the landfill, collecting a per ton tipping fee from each customer.” The other options were different forms of transport to other counties. One idea was to build a transfer station at the landfill, sift the waste and load it onto trucks for delivery elsewhere. The cost estimates were for using a contractor or carrying it in county trucks and they ranged from $125.93 per ton for county trucks to $1,222.52 per ton for an outside contractor. “Disadvantages include,” the report said, “dependency on the solvency, fiscal management practices and proper site operation practices of the offsite disposal facility; and, sensitivity to increases in energy (fuel) costs.” Retail Office Space 1,500 square feet of first floor retail/office space.

Thus, it may be of some interest to learn what Americans believe to be true about what happens to them after they die. According to a recent survey, 81 percent of adults indicated that they believe in some sort of afterlife, while another 9 percent thought (believed?) that it was a possibility. Fully 85% said that they believe in heaven, and 64 percent thought that they would go there. On the other hand, 74 percent of the respondents indicated that they believed in hell, while just one half of one percent thought they would end up there. Twenty-four percent have no idea where they would spend eternity. When it comes to the unknown, we all face mystery, but having loved ones around us at a time of death offers comfort and relief..

CCLC correcting septic system near playground By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Health Department is working with the Child Care and Learning Center on Lee Highway to correct a septic system problem that has temporarily closed one of the school’s playgrounds, an environmental health specialist said Tuesday. Medge L. Carter, of the Health Department, said that on Monday dye tests she made of one of the school’s two septic drainfields disclosed that sewage water was being carried to the surface. Carter issued a series of immediate corrective measures while the county continues its survey of the septic system. Her suggestions included barring children from the field until the area of sewage drainage is fenced off. The sewage in the drainage bubbled up along an area where there is a giant wooden train toy. The school immediately closed the field and the play area near it. Renata Chapman, a member of CCLC’s board and Kimberly Goodwin, the office man ager, said in a joint interview that all Carter's recommendations are being carried out. “At no time was any child at risk,” Goodwin said. Rose Ann Sharp, executive director of CCLC, was in Florida on a personal visit and could not be reached for comment. The school is one of two supported by CCLC, a private nonprofit foundation. Some 70 youngsters attend it while another 30 attend an afterschool on Mt. Salem Avenue. Carter said she was alerted last week by a parent who became concerned when a toilet overflowed last Tuesday and flooded the two-year-old's classroom and an office at the Lee Highway building. The water was not from the toilet bowl, but fresh water from its flush container, Goodwin said. Nevertheless, it was cleaned up with a bleach mixture to kill any germs. Carter said she found no evidence of tainted water in the toilet overflow. But Carter said that a parent had reported to her that the school had a recurring septic system problem. She saw no sign of it last week, but on Monday, after heavy rain, she conducted a dye test that revealed liquid from the septic process was reaching the surface. Carter said that septic systems often have a problem that only recurs when heavy rain plus sewage overwhelms the drainfield. Initially, she recommended a trench called a “french drain,” that would route mountain run-off away from the drainfield. Later, she said, it may be necessary to rebuild the drainage field. A NEW.

We’re operating in the dark,” he said. The county does not know how many of the 45 or so covered employees will choose to get family coverage. It also does not know the longterm costs of its health insurance policy. The school system’s 100 employees are under a separate program and have been receiving contributions toward family coverage for three years. The county now pays the $394 single person coverage. Dual coverage costs $729 and a family can be covered for $1,064. If an employee with a dependent chose to be covered, the county would kick in $594 toward either dual or family coverage. Several members noted that this means the program is spending more for members with dependents. School budget adopted The final school budget may be somewhat lower than the $10.4 million adopted Monday by the supervisors after the state government adopts a budget perhaps as soon as this week. It provides for a new music teacher and salary raises for teachers. The Farmland Protection Program allows the county to buy “conservation easements” from farmers so they can continue to farm and resist land offers from developers. The unanimous vote comes as Rappahannock increasingly is faced with development on its borders. The purchases will be financed with “roll back” payments from farmers who take their land out of agriculture tax protection programs. McCarthy said there are also state and federal grants available and that land owners adjacent to a farm might contribute to keep a farm from developers. The program is aimed at medium-sized working farms in the 100 acre range. The rollback payments produce about $25,000 year and there is some $100,000 now available. Nicholas M, Horrock may be reached at nhorrock@timespapers.com Dogs From Page A1 Many of the shelter’s adorable creatures will be at RAWL’s “Dog Day Afternoon,” the shelter’s primary fundraising event on Saturday, May 15 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. Anybody with a dog or without is invited; $5 for adults and children are free. They have “laugh along dog classes,” terrier races, a canine good citizen test, and RAWL Roulette to mention only a few events. Reinhardt Lynch, one of the proprietors of the Inn at Little Washington, will be the official of RAWL’s show-off ring with one or more of his famous dalmations. He’ll be leading things like the hot-dog hustle and the dog/owner look alike contest. The fund-raising program is vital to keep RAWL running. Most of the dogs it gets are abandoned, some brought in by the county’s animal control officers, James Leake and Jack Sharp, others left like Simon or brought in by people who find them alone in the woods and fields. As a result each animal needs a complete health workup which they get through an arrangement with Dr. Johnny Clark of the Blue Mountain Animal Clinic. The dogs are quarantined for a period and trained and retrained on the social skills of living with a family. The dogs start out alone, then live with a cage mate, then get tried with other dogs and there is even a cat at the shelter to test the dog’s ability to live with cats. The cat has survived, Want said, but a few dogs have been scratched. The real secret to RAWL is love and kindness. “These dogs get handled a lot,” Want said. “There is a lot of touching, playing and talking with the dogs.” The dogs get out numerous times a day to run around. A lot of people don’t believe that dogs smile, but they do and a lot of these dogs were smiling the other day. Nicholas M. Horrock may be reached at nhorrock@timespapers.com.

By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer Fifty years ago this week, May 1954, the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company was luimeu w serve people wno lived too far from the firehouse in Washington, Va. It started with a 1946 Ford John Beam pumper bought from the Thins Brook, Va., fire company for $4,500. Three years later Flint Hill added a 1938 Cadillac ambulance it bought for $1 from the Washington rescue squad. Now it has 30 members, an active group of men and wumeii who run cans, amDuiances ana fire engines that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. In that 50 years it has allowed only one fatality, an elderly man who died in a fire that engulfed him as he slept. Flint Hill can command helicopters from Fairfax and Charlottesville, has ambulances with life-saving equipment and its ^members train others at Rappahannock High School and in fire training programs. Perhaps more impor tant, tne flint rtiu Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company has become the heart of its community and the firehouse on Fodderstack Road is the center of many hard nights of work and good nights oi camaraderie. The company was organized at the old Flint Hill School and the first fire engine was housed in the Russell Brothers garage in runt mu. In 1954, Mrs. Roberta Massie donated the land to build the present firehouse on Fodderstack Road and additional land from R. H. Delaney, Ray Pennington and Phil Wine permitted the carnival area next door.

Supervisor Roger Welch hauled pulpwood to Winchester and brought cinder blocks back to build the firehouse. Some of the charter members, like Emery Russell, are still active and others carry old names in Rappahannock County: Tummeyer, Genebach, Corbin, Atkins, to mention only a few. Frank Huff, for instance, “started running” in Washington with his father when he was in high school and his 15year-old son Robbie is following in his footsteps. “The apple didn’t fall far from the tree,” he sayp. When you sit around for an evening in the fire house, you don’t get a lot of daring rescue claims, but you do get a lot of laughs. Several years ago, Huff was driving Flint Hill’s last fire truck to a silo fire in Amissville. As he and another firefighter were hurtling down Route 522 towards Massies Comer, Huff realized the breaks didn’t work. He was afraid to turn left towards Amissville because he didn’t think the big truck would make the turn, so he decided to go straight ahead where workers were building a wall. He made it alright and they scattered but not Photo courtesy/Richard Lykes PAST AND PRESENT: The men and women of the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company and Ladies Auxiliary, past and present, commemorate 50 years of service to the Rappahannock community.

Another story goes that a Flint Hill volunteer fire fighter was driving along Route 211 West when he spied a wellknown mansion that was being consumed by flames. The house belonged to a wealthy older man, Emerson Smith, who had married a young woman who had turned up in Rappahannock County several years before. The firefighter drove up the driveway and leaped out to help. The young woman was on the lawn and he cried out, “Is there anybody in the house?” She shook her head. “I don’t think so.” But just then the fireman saw a child’s head in a window. “What about her?” he said. The woman said she’d forgotten the child. The fireman raced into the burning building, found the child and as he was carrying the child out, heard a moaning behind a door in the hall, but the door was locked. The fireman got inside and found an older man half succumbed to smoke and carried him to safety too. “I heard there was a divorce later in that household,” laughs Emory Russell when he tells the story. There will be stories and more on Saturday, May 8, as the fire company holds its 50th anniversary celebration and dinner. Nicholas M. Horrock may be reached at nhorrock@timespapei~s.com. International fun for all By Linda Dietel Special to the Rappahannock News An enthusiastic crowd of Rappahannock residents and visitors took a virtual trip around the world on April 25 at the Headwaters’ Global Spotlights International Festival on the grounds of Rappahannock County High School. They sampled empanadas, spanikopita, eggrolls, grilled Swiss sausage, stuffed grape leaves, lamb curry, baklava, and even chocolate mousse. They learned traditional Turkish folk dances and listened to the sounds of Africa played on traditional African instruments. And they tapped their feet and danced to the world music sounds of a band from Germany. Students joined Abasi Johnson, founder of a nonprofit organization called, “More Than a Drum,” in his percussion performance. A colorful group of TurkishAmerican dancers demonstrated a variety of native dances, and invited the audience to learn a few steps. Photos courtesy/Headwaters FOLK DANCING: Students dance with a Turkish folkdance troupe at Headwaters' International Festival at Rappahannock County High School last Saturday. Members of the RCHS jazz ensemble performed with the Black Heritage international jazz group. Based in Berlin, Germany, the group played an exciting mix of world music styles and rhythms. See FESTIVAL, Page B8 The Wood Duck: spends summers here By Bruce Jones Special to the Rappahannock News One duck that spends its summers here in Rappahannock is the Wood Duck. This cavity nester has had its ups and downs in the past 100 plus years. The male “woodie” has been classified by many as the most beautiful duck in North America. My vote casts it in the top tier of all bird beauties. The elegant male and his equally striking partner, who has a prominent white ring around her eye, live near woodland ponds, lakes, swamps, river bottoms, and wooded streams. The Wood Duck is shy and somewhat secretive, spending a lot of time under the cover of waterweeds, rushes, overhanging tree branches and the like. The nest of the Wood Duck is in a tree cavity (or in mam-made boxes) or an abandoned pileated woodpecker hole. The nest location is five to 50 feet above ground. One of the wonders of the natural world that not many observe is the sight of the baby “wood Birds of Rappahannock ies” jumping to the ground shortly after being bom. They jump from as high as 30-50’, and Mom encourages them, calling from far below. The female uses her down feathers to construct the nest, laying nine to 12 eggs. Their diet is mostly plant life, but they also eat acoms, grapes and berries. The history of the Wood Duck has had interesting twists, and the future is still uncertain. In the early 1900s, unlimited shooting of ducks and the draining of swamps and wetlands threatened them to near extinction. Canada and the U.S. both closed the hunting season from the 1920s to the early 1940s for the species. The Wood Duck barely survived the drought of the 1930s and the continued draining of wetlands. Female (in back) and male (in front) Wood Duck However, with the increase of public awareness of the delicate tapestry of nature and its process, with government and private agencies coming to the rescue by providing artificial nesting boxes and encouraging habitat restoration and preservation, the Wood Duck has slowly come back to grace us See BIRDS, Page B8 RAAC presents program on photographer By Betsy Hille Special to the Rappahannock News Washington residents Chris Goodine and Charlie 'Ibmpkins will tell the fascinating story of photographer Loranus C. Newhall at a program May 14 at 8 p.m. sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community at the Rappahannock County Library. ■Goodine and Tbmpkins also will present examples of Newhall’s work. Goodine will tell the amazing story within the story of how he acquired a significant collection of Newhall’s photographic plates during the program which is part of RAAC’s Second Friday at the Library Series . Loranus C. Newhall took up photography in 1888 after a long career selling insurance in his hometown of Lynn, Maws., aw well aw Boston. Lugging heavy 8 x 10 amd 5x7 glass plates via a horse-drawn cairriage around the White Mountains amd his native Mawsachusetts airea, Newhall made a number of breathtaking amd important photographs, using a View Camera with tripod. The Newhalls were a prominent Massachusetts family amd founders of Lynn in 1629. Over the years, the town prospered amd by the mid to late 1800s many summer estates were built along Linn’s shore. It became a popular Boston resort area. While some vacationers were eryoy Copyright by Chris Goodine, Washington, Va. FROM THE PAST: One of Loranus C. Newhall’s photographs titled ‘Cyrus Sargent in his auto with Robin the dog’ will be shown during RAAC program May 14 about Newhall’s work. ing the shore, others were discovering the attraction of New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Newhall recorded the beauties of both regions. On one of his annual trips to New Hampshire, Chris Goodine discovered a treasure trove of approximately 400 of Newhall’s photographic plates dating from 1888 to 1910, with spectacular scenery in and around the Wliite Mountains. Views of Walden Pond, as well as photographs of important buildings in the Lynn and Boston area were also included. “My wife and I have been going back to our summer home in Jackson, N. H., since the 70s and collected lots of memorabilia and photos along the way,” says Goodine. “I happened to be in a real estate office one day and noticed an old black and white photo of the carriage road from Mount Washington. The realtor said he found the photo in an old bam of a property he was selling, and that the woman who owned the property had some old photographic plates she was trying to sell. “The great fun was negotiating with this colorful character—Carol Lynch—who owned the plates. We met several times in that dusty cellar with Ms. Lynch, with her chain-smoking all the while. In the end, we settled on a price, and Ms. Lynch parted with the plates happily. I still visit with Ms. Lynch when we go back to Jackson each summer,” says Goodine. “I realized I had a wonderful historic record of the area at the turn of the 19th to 20th century. Here were all these plates in this 15-drawer oak flat file cabinet all numbered, titled, catalogued and stashed away for 100 years. We began researching and cataloguing the plates immediately. It has taken us three years to get to this point.” Thankfully, Washington resident Charlie Tbmpkins, an accomplished photographer in his own right, who studied under Ansel Adams, has all the cortiputer scanning equipment necessary to document the plates, and has been a tremendous help in this project. See RAAC, Page B8 ‘Master and Commander’: an exuberant sea adventure By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,” with Russell Crowe as Captain Jack Aubrey, may be the best movie of its kind ever made. Inspired by the Patrick O’Brian novels, “Master and Commander” derives its title and plot from two O’Brian novels in that brilliant author’s 20-book series about dashing Jack Aubrey of Lord Nelson’s British Navy and his friend and ship’s physician Dr. Stephen Maturin, roles played to perfection by Crowe and Paid Bettany. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community brings this film to The Theatre on Gay Street, in Little Washington on Friday, May 7 at 8 p.m. Nominated in 10 categories for an Oscar, including for Best Picture and Best Director, and taking top honors for cinematography and sound editing, this exuberant sea adventure recreates the world of the British navy circa 1805 with such detad and intensity that the sea battles become stages for personality and character. The film centers on the spirits of two men, Captain Jack Aubrey and ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin. MOVIE: Russell Crowe stars as Capt. ‘Lucky’ Jack Aubrey, one of the British Navy’s greatest fighting captains in 'Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,’ a must-see movie at The Theatre in Little Washington on Friday, May 7 at 8 p.m. Aubrey is the realist and man of action; Maturin is more intellectual and pensive. The rousing story of how Aubrey, commander of the HMS Surprise and his crew determinedly pursue a larger, faster, French enemy vessel around Cape Horn is Hollywood filmmaking at its very best. Aubrey’s charge is to prevent the French from controlling the waters off Brazil which he must do more through strategy than firepower. There are scenes at sea, including the rounding ’ See MOVIE, Page B8

New York Times gives thumbs-up to local eatery As promised, I continue to eat my way through SperryviUe for fun, covering ah of the eateries. Which eating establishment in Rappahannock County has been written up in the New York Times? If you guessed the Inn at Little Washington, you’d be correct. But add to the list Burgers N Things right here in Sperryville. Yes, last fall, the small, popular take-out burger stand was given mention in the NYT for its outstanding 3/4 pound burgers and wonderful, thick shakes. Owned and operated for six years by Stevens and Rebecca Butler, and their daughter and son-in-law Stefanie and Ricky Shaw, the place is popular with locals and visitors alike. Stefanie tells me that while many local businesses shut down or reduce hours in the winter months, they stay open. Affordable, yummy and quick, Sperryville By JENNY MILLAN 987-MD k it’s the perfect spot for a sandwich, burgers, fries and a shake. The day I was in chatting with Stefanie, several locals popped in to pick up their “to go” orders. Call ahead and it will all be ready, or sit at one of the picnic tables outside. Fast, friendly and always a hit! Call 987-8311. Across the road, at the relatively new Sunnyside Farms Famous Rest Stop are more eating possibilities. The founding mother of healthy, organic and delicious foods in Rappahannock, Rae Gaedke, Jr., opened Rae’s Place five years ago this month. After operating a successful market, Mountainside, in Washington and later in Sperryville, she opened her small restaurant to provide lunch, dinner, coffee, take out and catering services. Rae now is employed by Sunnyside Farms as its Manager of Food Operations. So, in addition to Rae’s Place which now serves breakfast, lunch, early dinner and take out, you can also find her expert touches at providing delicious food at Sunnyside Farms Famous Rest Stop, which has an old-fashioned ice cream parlor, organic and natural food market, seasonal food stand, pick-your-own berry fields and an auditorium packed with antiques, home furnishings and toys. My favorites at Rae’s are her soups and daily specials like bean enchiladas. Perfect to pick up and take home after a busy day. Other daily offerings include as many as eight types of sandwiches and wraps, two or three kinds of salads, two or three soups, and freshly baked goodies. There’s always something on the menu for vegetarians. There’s a sunny deck for outdoor eating or in colder, rainy weather, relax at one of the indoor tables. Over in the market, there are plenty of grocery selections, soup, fresh produce, usually from the Sunnyside farm, dairy products and a meat counter. In the coffee and tea room you can enjoy hot drinks, scones, cookies and ice cream. My daughter and I seem to find our way into Sunnyside or Rae’s Place at Sunnyside several times each week. Rae tells me that opening at the end of this month will be the Burger Bam at Sunnyside’s rest stop which will serve Kobe beef organic burgers, salads, a kids’ meal and plenty of cold soda fountain drinks. Keep an eye out for the grand opening. It’s a real treat, and convenience, to be able to find quality grocery items, great meals and the best ice cream (Breyers) right here in town. And kudos to Kathy Edwards and all the other friendly assistants who really know about providing quality service. Call 987-9733. And finally, driving out of town down Route 231, many locals, and tourists stop at the “FT Grocery” or “Wilma’s” ( as some locals call it) for take out. Owned and operated by Wilma Burke, her daughter Beverly Samuels and assistant Wendy Reed, the FT Grocery has a varied menu for sandwiches, hot and cold, and dinner items. Whether you need a frozen pizza, bottle of wine, grocery staples or dinner on the go, the FT Grocery has much to offer. Open 6 a.m.- 8 p.m. MondayThursday and 6 a.m. - 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, the shop is open when other parts of town are closed.

All dinners come with sides of coleslaw, mils and fries. A wide variety of soft ice cream is now available to cool everyone off in the summer months. Beverly tells me that a nice mix of locals and visitors come in and also recommended calling in your order ahead for quick pick up. The F. T.Grocery is a community center, grocery and excellent take out spot. Call 987-8361. Meanwhile, don’t forget the fund-raising spaghetti dinner for disabled 11-year-old Johnny Jenkins of Sperryville on Friday, May 7 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the fire hall. Carryout meals available too.

In the mint category they have Snacking on huckleberries during Civil War engagement Concerning our usual Viewtown history presentation, Danny Hitt reports the following from a recently found book, “Under Custer’s Command” by Karla Husby. This book includes the journal accounts of her great-great grandfather, Pvt. James Avery of the Michigan Calvary. In this work, Pvt. Avery wrote over 600 words about the Battle Mountain engagement near Viewtown. The following Battle Mountain information is found on page 46 of this book: “On July 24th the 5th and 6th Michigan moved out on a road along the side of a mountain. On our right was the high mountain and on our left was a descending slope. When we were well into the woods, we were dismounted and deployed on the left of the road and moved with it at right angles down the hill, where we found the enemy in force. “We were in a field of brush and timber in which grew plenty of huckleberries, nice and ripe, and as we advanced, we would pick berries and then fire at the rebels, in spite of the shells which came pretty thick. We were not going past our berries with out eating our share”. I wonder if huckleberries are still plentiful in Rappahannock County. If so, let us sample some and remember the brave soldiers that weathered shot and shell just to get a snack. Church news On April 25 Forest Grove 937-4221 Church held its regular fellowship dinner.

Birds From Page B1 with its wonderful presence. We can hope for its future. Bird sightings here Observations from across the county: nuiiuumg ULIUS llclvt; arrived. I have received many hummer reports from all over the county, starting in midApril. A hummer feeder experiment here at Long Mountain Road is using Fuchsia plants rather than the normal hummingbird feeders - we’ll let you know how it works. Another outpouring of observations is the not-often-seldom-seen Rose-breasted Grosbeak: Cindy Williams, Flint Hill, Grant Griffith, Castleton, Jenks Hobson and Sarah Lowry, Washington, Kent Hickman, Castleton, and a sighting here on Long Mountain Road. Kent also added the Brown-headed Cowbird. Other neat birds added this month are the Peregrine Falcon, seen twice by naturalist Mike Kling both spotted in the general vicinity of Ben Venue. Mike now calls Route 729 “The Raptor Road.” There were two sightings of the Northern Goshawk - one near Yancy Road, the other by David Semmes, Flint Hill; the uncommon Red-headed Woodpecker was reported by Trish Bartholomew. The Jones Boys again reported in: Donn Jones was one of many noting the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (John Trott called it the miniature Tufted Titmouse), and he also saw a Whip-poor-will on April 24. Marshall Jones reported in from Gid Brown Hollow noting the Common Raven and the elusive Ruffed Grouse as well as John Trott’s most favorite bird, the Wood Thrush. The Jones’ sightings here on Long Mountain Road were the Double-crested Cormorant, Green-winged Teal, and Common Loon (heard at 5 a.m.). Mary Ann Krammes reports in again with a Green Heron, and a Gray Catbird. Jim Bywaters, Flint Hill, noted a Killdeer. Tree Swallow reporting came in from all areas. Andy Platt, our good birder from the Rock Mills area, called in Winter Wrens and an Oven Bird; Andy also started on the Warbler migration count. In the midst of a flock of Yellowramped warblers, Andy noted the Northern Parula Warbler. Sarah Lowry wrote in noting the Black and White Warbler along with Myrtle (Yellowramped) Warblers. A visiting birder noted a Palm Warbler here on Long Mountain. Linda Heimstra near Nethers sent in a photo of a Ring-neck Pheasant. It, of Movie From Page B1 of Cape Horn, which are as good as any sea journey ever filmed, and the battle scenes are harrowing in their closeness and ferocity. The impact of the movie comes from the nature of life on board such a ship. Maturin and Aubrey sometimes relax by playing classical duets, the captain on violin, the doctor on cello, a reflection of their well-rounded backgrounds. We get to know several members of the crew. Chief among them is young Lord Blakeney (Max Pirkis), the teenager who is actually put in command of the deck during one battle. Boys this young were often at sea, learning in action, and both older men try to shape him in their images. With Maturin he shares a passion for biology and begins a journal filled with sketches of birds and beetles they encounter. Under Aubrey he learns to lead men and to think clearly in battle. Both men reveal their cnaracters m teaching the boy, and that is how we best learn to know them. Both Crowe and Bettany, major movie stars, are at the top of their game and equally effective. “Master, and Commander” is grand and glorious, a great action, movie that can rouse and exhilarate and affirm life. It’s a must-see film. The film is rated PG13 for intense battle sequences, related images, ilun time: 139 minutes. course, has been introduced and as it is not native will not count as a BOR. And one of my very favorite birds was sighted by Elizabeth Stein of the Flint Hill area: the shy, uncommon Scarlet Tanager. What a beauty! Thanks for the many emails and reports. We have added 21 species to our Birds of Rappahannock for the month of April, which puts us now at 85 birds seen. ! .great job! Wait until May when the Warbler reports start coming in. And finally, baby Bluebirds were bom four days ago here on Long Mountain Road; the life cycle continues. Send your sightings to: bsjonz@earthlink.net or call 675-3152. RAAC From Page B1 Says Tompkins, “We believe this is an important collection. Newhall’s style is like Ansel Adams, but actually, Ansel Adams was like Newhall. “This is really the beginning of photography for people other than crazy inventors,’’ says Tompkins. “You could buy film instead of having to make it. You could send your film to a lab. It appears that Loranus Newhall dealt with a lab in Boston, due to the old film processing envelopes we found.” What will happen with the Loranus Newhall collection? Goodine and Tbmpkins have plans to take this exhibit on tour starting in New Hampshire, where they are planning a show at the Jackson Historical Society.

The elder Russell noted that the ground the high school rests on once belonged to the Russell family. Under the tent, younger students were able to fill in their “passports" as they traveled through the exhibits on different countries and their crafts. Global Spotlights, the Headwaters sponsor of the International Festival, produced the event in partnership with the Curriculum Enrichment Program and the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC.) In addition to student participation, the Spotlights committee is indebted to school faculty, staff, and many community volunteers for their help.
