Sgt. Dorsey E. Cain, the date September 11, 1944, at war with the Nazis: “Our right wingman had his number two engine knocked out....Very heavy accurate flak was encountered over the target. Our squadron commander went down. Ten men of the eleven bailed out. Lt. Fulco’s ship exploded in the formation but five men got out.

Josh Waddell, her son, presently serving as an Army combat medic with the 3rd Battalion of the 116th Infantry Division. As if these two men could be thought of as bookends of her life, she feels stirred by memories of her father’s dedication and heroism in World War II and worries about the wellbeing of her son soon off to war in Afghanistan. This Memorial Day for Waddell is both a moment of enduring pride and new anxiety. “Every time I tell Josh I don’t want him to go (to Afghanistan) he says as his defense, ‘Well, grandfather went,’” says Waddell, who relates that her son has always been committed to service as a certified See MEMORIAL, Page A8 Rappahannock News Photo/Nicholas M.

Her parents, Greg and Shelly Dodson of Flint Hill, are taking Sidney for treatment in Poland in August.

Greg and Shelly Dodson of Flint Hill hadn’t seen the program, but calls from friends and relatives started coming in. Could this program help their daughter Sidney? For a young couple—Greg is a farm worker and his wife Shelly is a gardener— the idea of flying with their little girl, Sidney, to Eastern Europe for a cerebral palsy treatment seemed at first as unreachable as going to Mars. From the moment Sidney was four months old and they learned she had cerebral palsy- the moment that still brings tears to Greg’s eyes- life has been a struggle for the young couple. Greg has often worked two and three jobs to afford the hospitals, the doctors and all the costs that this paralyzing disease involves. “She is totally dependent for all daily living including feeding, positioning, bathing and dressing,” her doctor, Freeman Miller, wrote in a recent letter. Dr. Miller of the Alfred L. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del., is a world recognized expert on cerebral palsy and the author of several key books. In the Dodson’s home one sees 66 What if she could take just one step, that would make it all worthwhile. Greg Dodson, Father these mundane duties are carried out with great joy and gentleness, yet it is a constant daily stress. Nevertheless, the couple started to look into European- based treatment programs. Treatment in the United States costs $150 an hour or more and even some of the better ones are more prohibitive. Candace Clough, a landscape gardener who hires Mrs. Dobson as a subcontractor and is a long-time family friend, said the couple’s research rejected the Hungary program as possibly See DODSON, Page A6 Police reduce speed limit on ‘race track’ By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer Due largely to the motorcyclists who have made Route 211 between Sperryville and Luray into a race track over Thornton Gap, state and county officials have reduced the speed limit, posted new signs, and beefed up enforcement in an effort to end weekend road accidents and fatalities. The speeds are reduced from 55 miles per hour to 45. “The lower speed is consistent with what’s up there on those curves,” said Garrett Moore, VDOT’s Warrenton Residency Resident Engineer for Rappahannock and Fauquier counties. VDOT worked in concert with Rappahannock, Fauquier and Page county sheriffs and Virginia State Police, based on observations of what Route 211 through the See SPEED, Page A6 PEC, community improve Flatwoods By Clarissa Pintado Special to the Rappahannock News The Piedmont Environmental Council and local community groups joined together last Thursday to “transform” the landscape at Flatwoods, a garbage and recycling transfer facility used by Rappahannock residents off Shade Road.

He called on each person to dedicate at least 4,000 hours, or two years, to service over the course of his or her life. The President’s Call to Service Award honors those who answer the challenge. “It is with great pleasure and pride that we present this award to the Ambersons. Their service sets a standard to others, encouraging a sustained commitment and inspiring others,” said Shenandoah National Park Volunteer Coordinator, Wayne Cottrill. Mr. Amberson volunteers two days a week doing photo graphic worE in the park’s archives. Mrs. Amberson works at least twice a week editing publications for the SERVICE: Doug Morris, center, Superintendent of Shenandoah National Park, awards the President’s Volunteer Service Award to Joanne and John Amberson of Castleton.

Photos courtesy/Doug Bywaters Local Scouts win competitions in ‘pioneering’ skills By Todd Burdick Special to the Rappahannock News Ninety seven Boy Scouts from nine troops, including Troop 36 of Washington participated in the Shenrapawa District Spring Camporee May 14, 15 and 16 near Front Royal on the property of Richard McCrary, It was organized by Troop 53. The Camporee theme was “Pioneering,” which involves creating structures from wooden spars lashed together with cordage. Competitions were held to evaluate the Scouts’ lashing, splicing and knot tying skills. The final competition compared structures created by each troop using these skills. Troop 36, lead by Senior Patrol Leader Matt Bywaters, tied for first place with Troop 88 in the pioneering skills competition. The rope monkey bridge constructed by Troop 36 earned first place in the project competition. The monkey bridge was extremely popular with the Scouts from other troops, and nearly all the boys (and some of the adults were present) traversed the bridge at least once. Other projects included a foot bridge, a gateway, and flag stands. Troop 36 participants all earned the Pioneering merit badge. Matt Bywaters, Josh Bywaters, Robert Cairns, Charles Crawford, Robbie Hamill-Huff, Tyler Burdick and Austin Burdick all deserve congratulations for a job well done. The team work, skill mastery and exemplary behavior of these young men during the event were admirable, and a good time was had by all. Troop 36 would like to thank its sponsor, Trinity Episcopal Church, for its support; Richard McCrary, co-owner of Weasel Creek Outfitters, for hosting the event on his property; and members of Troop 53 for organizing the outstanding Camporee.

_ _ 4 RCHS band rises to the challenge, wins top awards Photo courtesy/Lori Crochet-Dore FIRST PLACE: RCHS band director Lynn Fournier conducts the high school band at a recent music competition in which the band won five top awards. By Lori Crochet-Dore Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock County High School band achieved three first places and two overall awards at the recent Williamsburg/Virginia Beach Festivals of Music Competition. Thirty-six band members performed for a distinguished three-panel team of judges. The members achieved first in percussion ensemble with a rating of excellent; a first in concert band with a rating of excellent; and a first in parade with a rating of excellent. These three awards recog nized the pride and strength that these members showed in themselves and their appreciation of music in their division. The band also was honored with two overall first places. The first was for overall band and the second was the William D. Revelli Honorary Band Award for high point band. They out preformed all other bands proving that RCHS band has risen to the challenge. “This band was the smallest group there,” said Lynn Fournier, RCHS band director. “They performed with incredible pride for themselves, their band and their school emphasising that size is not the key to success.” The total of five awards, earned in one weekend, is more awards than the band has received in any pnor competition. “I was stunned by the performance the band offered and amazed at the standard they achieved at this competition,” said Fournier. They achieved with musical talent while being enriched bv the friendships that were strengthened at this competition.” The competition's awards were presented to the bands at Bush Gardens The members were allowed to enjoy the park before and after the awards cer emony. The laughter on the rides and the bus ride home proved that memories for the baud’ were not only in awards but u the friendships that bare, offers. Congratulations to mem bers of the band for a job dour with great pride and enjoy ment. And a special thanks goes to the graduating seniorfor their dedication and hare work. A sunny day for ‘ Relay for Life ’ By Bette Mahoney Special to the Rappahannock News The sun did shine on Rappahannock’s annual Relay for Life which took place Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning, May 22-23 at the Rappahannock County Elementary School. The walkers greeted the sun and warm weather with enthusiasm. Opening ceremonies began with the Star Spangled Banner sung by Kay Finnerty. Chairman Ben Atkins introduced the Relay chairmen and team captains. Ester Settle and Darlene Gallo, two cancer survivors, gave brief statements of “hope.” Carolyn Leake, the Correction A May 23 article, ‘What the state budget means to Rappahannock County' incorrectly reported the amount of a raise that Sheriff Larry Sherertz will receive. The correct amount is $2,638.

"Commercial and InnniUL •Insured 'Free Estimates • Satisfaction Guaranteed Survivor Chairman, Mary Ann Krammes, the Luminary Chair, and Kay Finnerty led the survivors in singing Paul Reisler’s new song “I Gotta Live.” They were accompanied by Steve Van Dam. The song was written by Paul Reisler and a small group of survivors especially for the Relay. This was followed by a brief ceremony in honor of the cancer survivors who then began the Relay by walking the first lap. The survivors carried purple “Relay” balloons and released them as they completed the circuit. Members of the 25 teams then walked the track. At 6 o’clock food was served in the cafeteria. Entertainment included face-painting, a DJ, dancing, karaoke, and plain old socializing and fun. Tbwards dark, the luminaries in honor of cancer survivors and in memory of cancer victims were placed around the track. The Reisler song was again sung and the luminaries were lit with a small ceremony and the walking continued. Walkers frequently paused in front of the luminaries that honored their loved ones. At 11 p.m., pizza was served. And, there were still hardy souls at breakfast Sunday morning and at the Closing Ceremonies at 8 a.m. Fifteen of the 25 teams met the goal of raising $1,000 each. And two or three others came close. The total raised based on the 11 p.m, deadline was $47,397. The eventual total is expected to reach the goal of $50,000. Carolyn’s Love, Laugh, and Live Team led by Carolyn Leake raised about $5,450, the most of any team. Melvin’s Crusaders led by Ellen Timbers raised about $5,068 for second place. And, Ester Settle’s Faith Warriors led by Tamara Settle raised almost $4,234 for third place. Frances Timber raised about $2,820, the largest amount for any individual.

We know the day is set aside for the men and women who died in the service of our country and never has that need for remembrance been more immediate than today. But we also should remember that this is a day to recall our own mortality— Momento Morti, as the Italians say—and gaze at the lines in our palms that form “Ms” to remind us of the passing of time. We, in the American culture metaphorically clench our fists to avoid this reminder, but Memorial Day is an occasion to take a breath and look and wonder at life— by giving a moment’s thought to death, and those who have died for us, as well as doing something honoring the life of a loved one. On this day, we could visit a cemetery. Absorb the ambience, the peace, the quiet. Read the gravestones. They are biographies that can tug at our hearts.. We could plant a tree or a rose in memory of a lost loved one. Or sow some wildflowers. We could sit down with our families and take out old albums of family photos or videotapes. Retell funny stories and^share memories of someone who has died. Celebrate what their lives meant. Think about the passing of time. Remember: Tempus fugit. PEC thankful for help in ‘transformation’ of Flatwoods We want to thank all the wonderful people that came out to Flatwoods and helped its transformation on May 20. Extra special thanks goes to River Hill for the beautiful trees, shrubs, organics, water and mulch as well as their Love of Nature. The first, second and third grades from Hearthstone School led by Maureen Day and Aaron Weisgerber were so helpful with planting and sang a song as they filled the birdbath— from the Emporium in Sperryville— with water. Ben Zerrill and Raymond Furr from the welding class at Rappahannock County High School installed their creation under the watchful eye of John Norman. It is terrific. Goat Hill Farm donated containers of spiderwort in blues, purples, and white, which were planted by many volunteers. Thanks to our county. Thanks to VDOT, particularly Bill Watson. Thanks to the Weather Faerie. Thanks to Jerry for his hospitality. Thanks for all the donations that will help the Rappahannock County Piedmont Environmental Council office continue its work. One last thank you to Cindy Lockridge for the delicious cookies. Piedmont Environmental Council Rappahannock Office Washington Rappahannock Today TRIBUTE: U. S. Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) stops to talk with Ivan Hall of Sperryville during a tour and wreath-laying event for veterans on May 21 a\ the newly constructed World War II memorial on the National Mall in Washington D. C. Photo courtesy/Sen. George Allen's office Letters 25 years later, students are ‘still up against the same obstacles’ I had to check my paper twice when I read the article “What schools need” in the May 13 issue of the Rappahannock News to make sure that I was not reading “Down Memory Lane.” The issues were the same as when I graduated from Rappahannock County High School in 1979. I too practiced cheerleading in the halls and ran hurdles without a track. I am amazed that students 25 years later are still up against the same obstacles. I echo the voices of others that “our children are our future,” but my voice may be from a minority that is not often heard from by the Board of Supervisors. Because of some very strong and suppdrtive teachers, I met my goal of graduating from college, and becoming a nurse and later attending graduate school. I married and had four children. We now live in Falls Church, Va., and pay some of the highest taxes in the state and benefit from some of the best schools in the country. I am however also a taxpayer in Rappahannock County. We are fortunate enough to own a home in my beloved county where my children can spend their weekends outdoors, see their grandparents and experience the community. I would like to see my tax dollars spent to continue to support and improve our schools. The world has changed a lot in the last 25 years and our children deserve the best education that we can give them. That means competitive salaries for teachers to bring the best we can to the schools and retain them, to provide sound physical structures, and to support funding for sport programs especially a track field. You can’t keep making Band-Aid decisions to save a little money here and there. Strong schools make strong students, and we are the ones who return to the county to work, live and pay taxes. Even though my children do not attend Rappahannock schools I would hope that my tax dollars would be helping other children to build a stronger future for themselves. We live right across the street from George Mason High School in Falls Church. I took my kids to a home track meet the other day to see Rappahannock compete, something that I couldn’t do if I lived here in the county. We didn’t root for the home team. Penny Chadwell Kardis Falls Church and Huntly A thank you from RCEA The Rappahannock County Education Association would like to thank the School Board, Dr. Chappell and the Board of Supervisors for their cooperative work on the 2004-05 school budget. The 2003-04 school year has been very successful. We’d like to recognize the efforts of all who work within the school system as well as the parents, community mem bers and volunteers who support our schools. We extend our congratulations to the graduates of the Class of 2004 as well as the seventh graders at Rappahannock County Elementary School. Margaret Lee President Rappahannock County Education Association These men Near is Peace grazing their fingertips, But catching up is Death, who at their heels nips. This brutal race is war, Where the stronghearted die, But a far greater being Than any man survives. Men’s squinting eyes saw past The dust clouds and the fire. Saw purpose in the blood and pain And wounds they might acquire. These men are the Land we walk upon. They are the Shining hay bales at dawn. These men are our Schools, our jobs and pay. They are our Government, our literature, And the freedom we have in what we do and say. Shattered bones And shrapnel embedded minds return. Incomprehensible stories, silenced Pieces of horror, slowly learned. The shots heard around the world still echo in our ears These men gave their lives for us These men are our tears. Clarissa Pintado, 18, Washington (Written in honor of Memorial Day) Senior citizens ‘greatly appreciate’ Flint Hill breakfast The Rappahannock senior citizens who attend the Rappahannock Senior Nutrition Center would like to thank the wonderful group of Flint Hill United Methodist ladies and gentlemen who put on the fabulous benefit breakfast at the Flint Hill Fire Hall for the seniors and the center on Saturday, May 15. They put such love and hard work into the preparation and the breakfast, and we so greatly appreciate all they did. A special thanks to the Rutherfords for their wonderful music, the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department for allowing us to.use their building, and the great people of the community for coming out and supporting our seniors and the center. It was a huge success. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you missed the breakfast, but would still like to be a part of the fund-raiser, donations are still being accepted at the Rappahannock Senior Center or by mail at 603 Mt. Salem Ave., Washington, Va. 22747. Darcy Canton Rappahannock Senior Center Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO MAY 28, 1964 “Castleton Farms,” one of Rappahannock County’s most impressive and historic show places, has been sold by Mrs. Mary Hill Ingersoll to Mr. and Mrs. John W.

A check of area stations prior to the busy Memorial Day weekend found gas supplies 10 to 30 per cent below last year with some operators going to shortened hours and maximum purchases. Sean Kilpatrick of Woodville announced this week that he will campaign for Board of Supervisors member from StonewallHawthome District. He will oppose incumbent H. B. Wood, Jr. of Woodville. i Rappahannock County may have a representative at the 1980 Olympic Games. Cathy Lowe, physical education teacher at the elementary school, is trying out for the women’s field hockey team and if her past performance is any indication, she’d better start pushing her stick for the games. The Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic will offer an educational series on “How To Stop Smoking.” Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques in Sperryville celebrated its second anniversary on Memorial Day weekend. A family business operated by Cheri Woodard, with help from her husband, Martin and seven-year-old son Adam, Faith Mountain is a new breed of antique shop. 10 YEARS AGO MAY 25, 1994 Jordan River Farm in Huntly hosted a busload of Washington, D.C. area members of the International Association of Culinary Professionals last Friday. Catherine Smith from Channel 7 News was the leader of the group. They arrived at the organic farm around 12:30 and were greeted by owners Miriam Harris and her husband Corv Koral. Jeanie McNear, Rappahannock County volunteer coordinator in the retired senior volunteer program, and Ethyl Bailey, an active community volunteer for 13 years, attended the 11th Annual Volunteer Recognition luncheon sponsored by the State Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services Board in Richmond April 15.

WCDS advances to the semifinals to face Highland in the Delaney Athletic Conferences Varsity Soccer 'Ibumament. Earlier in the season, thirdseeded Wakefield, Inc. won a 3-0 victory against sixth-seeded WCDS, and was clearly the odds-on favorite to win this game, held at Wakefield Inc.’s home field in The Plains. The WCDS Owls scored two goals in the first half, the first by Katherine Russo of Flint Hill, assisted by Taylor Hammelman of Warrenton.

The Panthers knew it was going to be a tough match and did their best. Madison scored right away with three quick goals. Trey Swindler used his massive kicking ability to smash the ball from mid-field into the net for a quick score. See SOCCER, Page A7 melman. The Owls played a man down for the entire second half and then, with a little less than 15 minutes left in the game, their goalie, Aubree Parker went down and had to be taken out of the game due to what was later diagnosed as a hyperextended wrist. The game was exciting from start to finish, and came down to a penalty kick awarded to Wakefield Inc., in the closing seconds that missed its mark.

Program on Medicare drug discount cards scheduled for June 2 The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 has added some help in obtaining prescriptions drugs in the form of discount cards. The procedure for obtaining the Medicare Approved Discount Cards can be confusing since the person with Medicare has to choose the right card for her or his needs. Added to this there is also a $600 credit that certain low income persons may be eligible for. It is based on the person’s annual income but requires an enrollment in the Medicare Approved Drug Discount program. These programs will take effect in June of 2004. If you would like more help in understanding the application process and the benefits for each of these programs, a senior advocate from the RappahannockRapidan County Services Board/Area Agency on Aging will give a presentation at the Rappahannock Senior Nutrition Site on Wednesday, June 2 at 1 p.m. For further information call (540) 675-2615. Speed From Page A1 Thornton Gap has become in the last couple of years — “a race track,” according to 1st Sgt. Ed Murphy of the State Police. “The lowered speed limit came out of motorcycle accidents,” said Murphy. “It’s a beautiful scenic route, and it’s a shame, people riding it like it was a race track. It impacts all the vehicles.” Indeed, the entire speed limit issue grew out of two fatal motorcycle accidents in the last year, one in March on the first sharp turn on the Rappahannock side at Tumbridge. This general area, along a stretch of Route 211 three miles from Shenandoah National Park, has seen the death or injury of dozens of motorcyclists. The second fatality was last August, also in this same area. With the reduced speed limit, State Police feel they can better enforce the laws on the winding and steep road. With the former speed limit, police found enforcement difficult on the curving roads. “We hope it will encourage people to drive slower,” said Murphy. Police complained about weekend drivers, weekend crashes, and sports motorcycles, which formed a picture of reckless danger to themselves and to other drivers. The road was being used as a race track. As a result, VDOT has also posted new “No Parking” signs at the top of the Gap in an effort to reduce the numbers of motorcyclists who use pull-off areas to turn around, wait for auto traffic to pass by, and then ride down the road, often in large groups. And beyond these measures, according to Murphy of the State Police, several local and state enforcement agencies will begin to ROAD CHECK: Virginia State Trooper Todd Taylor on Route 1211 near Thornton Gap is conducting a weekend road check to cut down on motorcycle accidents caused by speeding. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Malcolm MacPherson clamp down on traffic entering the stretch between Sperryville and Luray on weekends. They will set up road checks to examine motorists' licenses at the base of the mountain stretch, deploy roving deputies and troopers on the sides of the road, and assign troopers in cars to ride up and down the mountain continuously to “aggressively enforce any violation hopefully to slow people down,” said Murphy. These measure may also only be a beginning. According to Moore of VDOT, “We have been looking at this stretch of road since last spring, and we will continue to look at it, consistent with what’s up there.” Dodson From Page A1 too stressful for Sidney.

Consider the reflections of the Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner: “The great and sad mistake of many people...is to imagine that those whom death has taken, leave us. They do not leave us. They remain! Where are they? In darkness ? Oh no! It is we who are in darkness. We do not see them, but they see us. Their eyes, radiant with glory, are fixed upon our eyes...Oh, infinite consolation! Though invisible to us. our dead are not absent...They are living near us, transfigured...into light, into power, into love." These illuminating words shed light for those of us who remain earthbound. It is a great comfort to many to feel that their loved ones are near and offering support and comfort.

Dr. Miller was quickly on board. “I am familiar with the Euromed Rehabilitation Program,” he wrote them, “which I feel provides a safe and reasonable therapeutic experience.” Miller pointed out as does the Mielno center that Sidney’s best chance is at this age and not a moment should be lost.

And, of course, there is the daunting possibility that Sidney could not be helped at all. Sidney Dodson is a very special person; at five years of age, she is more expressive with her eyes than a lot of youngsters are with all their parts working and when you meet her, you sense she knows more about what’s going on than you do. She follows her parents and her two dogs, Shadow and Simon, with her looks and quick, wonderful smiles. Temporarily in a brace to offset a neck injury, she sits somewhat regally for supper as her parents and a guest talk about an adventure'this small family will soon take to try to help their beloved daughter develop as other children. “What if she dould take just one step,” says Greg Dodson, “that would make it all worthwhile.” He and Shelly know that miracles are hard to come by, but they know too that they have a very special daughter. Dr. Miller claims that “she has super cognitive function” and told the parents she was an “excellent potential for long term gain functionally, and especially cognitively.” What Sidney Dodson is a very special person; at five years of age, she is more expressive with her eyes than a lot of youngsters are with all their parts working and when you meet her, you sense she knows more about what’s going on than you do. ever the fortunes of life brought Sidney, she’s smart. So the Dodsons are hoping to start out on Aug. 5 to Mielno. It will be a rigorous four weeks for Sidney. The “Adeli suit,” consisting of large rubber bands connected to shoulder and knee pads, effectively keeps her body erect so she can concentrate her energies on moving her limbs and trying to talk. Some children can spend as much as four hours a day suited up in rehabilitation. The claims for success are heartwarming. One woman “will never forget” the moment her son Chance walked.

More light shed on lighting By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer After a colloquy that roamed from the sheer glare of Sheetz’s gas emporia to the starry glories of the universe, the Rappahannock County Planning Commission Wednesday night decided not to decide on a controversial county outdoor lighting ordinance, thus writing another chapter in the ordinance’s long history about lights, night skies, and the quality of Rappahannock’s life versus the meddlesome nature of government. At this public meeting, while the lights id not go out in the courthouse, as they did at last month’s Planning Commission meeting requiring an adjournment, light, in particular exteri Police & COURT BRIEFS At 2:15 p.m. on Saturday, May 22, a motorcyclist speeding on Route 211 about three miles east of Thornton Gap on a twisting and steep section of the road crashed his motorcycle and sustained serious injuries. Troy Sean Merritt, 28, of Front Royal was riding his 2001 Honda CBR Sports motorcycle east on the highway, approaching a right-hand hairpin turn when he lost control and crashed into the guard rail. He was taken to Fauquier Hospital for leg injuries and back pain. The Sperryville Fire Department came on the scene for traffic control. Merritt, an experience rider, was charged with reckless driving, a Class 1 misdemeanor, according to the investigating officer, State TrooperLee Felts. Fight at market Rappahannock County sheriffs’ deputies responded to a call in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 22, reporting a “fight in progress” in the front parking lot of Mountainside Market in Sperryville. Two men were exchanging words, and “there was an altercation about to get lit off” said Sheriff Larry Sherertz. Both men were intoxicated, according to the Sheriff. Deputies arrived on the scene and transported the would-be brawlers home. Nobody was injured or arrested. An assault did not take place. This is the second time in two weeks that disagreements have led to a police response at the market. Court hearing The case of Worley v. Tbwn of Washington continues in court after Rappahannock County Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey W. Parker refused May 20 to grant a motion by the Worleys’ attorney to reconsider an earlier ruling in which he stopped short of riding the town’s Historic District Ordinance invalid. After a date of Aug. 5 was scheduled for a further hearing, the judge said he hoped both sides would “resolve” this case. 1 Meetings & Closings • The Rappahannock News will be closed Monday, May 31 in observance of Memorial Day.

It languished in the filing cabinet of the Board of Supervisors until Rappahannock residents Gwen Hays and Clyde Humphrey took up the cudgel with light meters and an expertise on the subject. A lighting ordinance, written, hashed over and favored or not by the commission, will eventually be decided by the county supervisors, who are under no legal obligation to follow the recommendations of the Planning Commissioners. Many of the arguments heard at this meeting were twice told. The attendees from the public supported the ordinance to the person, with the single exception of resident David L. Konick, who said he was “neither for it nor against it. I’m just afraid we are inviting in trouble.” Animal metaphors flew like bats in the night, starting with Hal Hunter of the Jackson District, who mentioned that the people of Loudoun County were trying to get the horses of rampant development back in their bam, while this fighting ordinance in Rappahannock “will add another lock to the bam door as to keeping the horses inside.” Bob Dennis of the Wakefield District referred to a camel. “This ordinance will only apply to new businesses in the county,” he said. “Is it the camel’s nose under the tent (of government intrusion)? Just because you get the camel’s nose doesn’t mean you get the whole camel.” Amissville resident Howie Swaim followed on from a remark Konick had made earlier about throwing out the baby with the bathwater, saying, “As a business person, failing to plan is planning to fail. If we throw out the baby with the bathwater, (with this ordinance) at least we still have the bathwater.” When reduced to their fundamentals, the evening’s arguments split between those who discourage an ordinance in the belief that government should avoid sweeping regulation in favor of case-by-case decisions on future outdoor lighting, which itself is a philosophical desire to keep government out of people’s lives, versus supporters of an ordinance, like Mitzie Young of Washington, who want to preserve the rural nature of Rappahannock County and feel “it’s getting very light here.” As for Gwen Hays, who sat in silence for most of the discussion, the resulting no vote on the ordinance came neither as a disappointment nor a surprise. It confused her. “Nobody spoke against the ordinance,” she said. “And three commissioners were ready to vote against it. I just don’t understand where they were coming from.” The hearing on the lighting ordinance continues at the commission’s next hearing on June 16.

Tymbor Lee and Emily Massie played aggressive, while Klaire Gubler and Jarrett Stoner played great defense. Ben Estes played amazing, making great stops and even scored a goal in the third quarter. Daniel Schlosser did a great job staying in position. Unfortunately, with all the spirited play, the Panthers lost 6-3. U-8 Panthers team With only five members of Coach White’s U-8 Panthers team able to get to their latest game hosted by Madison, they had their work cut out for them. Mimi White once again played tough defense, and made several tremendous saves. Teresa Sladsky and Inga Fuengerlings were also there on defense and held the Madison team to two goals. Jamie Little, Tim Johns, and Inga kept the ball in Madison territory and assisted in most of the Rapp scores. Staying with the ball and driving forward, Teresa Sladsky scored an incredible three goals. Mimi White scored two, one on a breakaway, and shared credit for another goal with Teresa. Jamie Little, who had a great day on offense, scored a goal. Tim Johns powered the ball through the Madison defense for a score. And Inga Fuengerlings who had several close attempts on goal, scored in the fourth quarter. With tremendous team effort in incredible heat the U-8 Panthers held it together for another Rappahannock win. The final score Rapp 9, Madison 2. On Saturday both Rappahannock U-8 Panther teams go head to head in a final showdown of the season. U-10 boys’ team The U-10 boys’ team coached by Jeff Hazel and Anders Drew won the game against Coach Askew's Culpeper team. 5-4. This was a great game and a head to head challenge for the undefeated Yellow Jackets. Woody Hazel scored a goal assisted by a wonderful pass from Robbie Adams in the first half. Working together passing the ball around, they kept it away from Culpeper and lead to great scores in the second half. Tanyon Lee scored one goal while his brother Trevor Lee protected the goal. Jonathan Letsen scored two goals in the first half and a third and winning goal in the second half. The Yellow Jackets played a fierce and challenging team. They have worked hard to pass to one another and work as a team. It all paid off adding to their superb 5-0-1 record this season. Go Yellow Jackets. U-14 co-ed team Last week, Coach Hogan’s U-14 co-ed team met Madison at home. Steve, “Hound dog” Dodson had two first half goals, but a penalty kick and a couple of breakaway goals kept Madison in the hard fought match. Halftime saw Rapp down 3-2. Rapp came out strong in the second half and had quite a few shots on goal. Dean Hogan put two in the net and Rapp defeated Madison 4 - 3 to improve their record of three wins, one tie, one loss. Emma Dodd-Henze and Austin Burnett contributed to a strong defense for the team. With Memorial Day approaching RCSA takes a break this weekend.

Confederate veteran to be honored on May 31 John A. Pullen, a pri: vate in Company B, 6th Virginia Cavalry will be honored on Monday, May 31 (Memorial Day) with the erection of a marker at his gravesite in the Pullen Cemetery on Pickerel Ridge above Old Hollow on the property of David Albee. Pullen died in October 1920 age 76 years. His wife was the former Melinda Jane Cornwell. They made their home on Pickerel Ridge in Rappahannock where they raised their children from whom many folks in Rappahannock and surrounding counties descend. Memorial From Page A1 EMT when he was a senior at Rappahannock County High School, and before enlisting in the Army, as a crew member with an EMT in Richmond which rushed to the Pentagon to stand by for service on September 11, 2001. Ten years separated the grandson’s birth and grandfather’s death in 1969 at the age of 54, but as Waddell says, quoting one of her father’s two remaining crew members in their B-24 Liberators based in England during the war, “The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Earlier this spring, Waddell had the opportunity to travel to England. And when a seminar at Oxford University she was attending was over, she decided to visit her father’s old air base in Hardwick, near the east coast and the town of Norwich. He served there, flying 35 missions over France and Germany, with the 8th Army Air Corps’ 328th Squadron, the 93rd Bombardment Group. Half- the squadron died over Germany or France. Waddell visited the Nissan huts where her father had lived and prepared for his missions, toured what remains of the base, including a small museum crammed with artifacts of that time and that war, and a monument in stone erected by the English to commemorate the contribution to the war by the 93rd Bombardment Group. Her father had talked about the war after he came home in 1945,. “but not a lot.” Waddell was always aware of his service in the war. At the Hardwick base, now overgrown and turned back to farmland, Waddell says, “I cried standing there on the same runway he took off from. Going there that day meant more to me than going to palaces or looking at Lady Di's dresses.” Her father earned the Distinguished Flying Cross for the number of his combat missions, which covered a period from July 18, 1944 to November 21, 1944, over Hamburg, Germany, and the intensity of the fighting.

PEC From Page A1 opportunity for the community to do something good for itself.” Indeed, the project was beneficial to the citizens of Rappahannock many of whom were a part of the planting. Despite the rainy weather, many people showed and were even happy to be working outside where the light showers made it the perfect temperature for hard labor. Even the children of Hearthstone’s first, second, and third grade—who do gardening at school as well— displayed their expertise at the site. In their rain coats and galoshes they helped sprinkle and pat down soil around butterfly bushes and other shrubs and flowers. River Hill Farm of White Post, Va., was the main contributor to the project, donating 35 plants including four dogwoods and two redbuds. River Hill Farm is a nursery owned by Mr. and Mrs. Frank McDonald, both of whom helped plant on Thursday. Also donated by River Hill Farm were crape myrtles, snowball shrubs, burning bushes, butterfly bushes, forsythia, lilac, and spirea. The Sperryville Emporium donated a bird bath to assist in the beautification of the land, which excited Hearthstone children who filled it with water. Goat Hill Farm, a local nursery, also pitched in, donating 10 spiderwort plants. VDOT gave 500 lilies to the project. Rappahannock High School students Raymond Furr and Ben Verrill of teacher John Norman’s welding class brought a unique sign they have been working on for two weeks. It is to be Flatwood’s new logo portraying the recycling process. The credit for coordinating this event goes to the Piedmont Environmental Council, a non-profit organization that works regionally and locally. PEC is involved in preserving, and restoring Virginia’s trees and environment. They do so through many means, one of which is informing land owners of the conservation options that exist for their property, including conservation easements.

.• Neighbors/B2 • Classifieds/B5-B8 May 27, 2004 Folksinger Tom Paxton stars at Ki Theatre benefit By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Tb help raise funds for a broad range of community programs, Ki Theatre on June 12 is sponsoring a gala benefit dinner and concert featuring the legendary folksinger and songwriter, Tom Paxton. The intimate dinner (limited to only 30 people) and a concert following will be held at “Patria,” the home of Fran Moore Krebser near Flint Hill. Tbm Paxton, nominated for a Grammy for “Best Contemporary Folk Album of 2003,” is one of America’s most popular and bestknown songwriters and folksingers today. “Tom Paxton ranks up there with the Beatles and Bob Dylan for the number of songs he’s written that everyone seems to know,” according to folksong magazine Dirty Linen. Pete Seeger, a mentor and old friend, adds: “Tbm’s songs have a way of sneaking up on you. You find yourself humming them, whistling them, and singing a verse to a friend. Like the songs of Woody Guthrie, they’re becoming part of America.” Another luminary in the world of folksongs, Judy Collins, captures the reason for Tbm Paxton’s popularity: “(His) songs are so powerful and lyrical, written from the heart and the conscience, and they reach their mark, our innermost being.” In a recent interview in his Alexandria home, Tom Paxton reviewed his 40 year career, beginning with his education in Oklahoma (which he calls his home state) to his first real exposure to folk music as an army private in the reserve spending his weekends at the musical coffeehouses of Greenwich Village. It was in the Village that Raxton got his first job singing and playing the guitar at $10 per night. He has now performed thousands of concerts around the world and his current schedule looks like that of a rock star still. Some 23 concerts (many of them benefits for other worthy causes, often dedicated to children) are on his tight schedule for the next several months. Paxton’s connection with Rappahannock County-and his generosity in donating his time and talent to this benefit concert-comes through his long friendship with fellow musician and songwriter, Paul Reisler. Reisler, who has composed the scores for all Ki Theatre productions, is currently collaborating with Tbm Paxton on a full-length piece based on Aesop’s Fables for the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. Modestly, Paxton says, “Ninety percent of the work is Paul’s, ten percent mine.” Both have played together at The Birchmere in Alexandria. Looking back to his roots, Paxton was inspired by the political and intellectual climate of his youth. His songs reflected a certain time and place, including the Vietnam War and the civil rights movement. However, Paxton’s inspiration did not stop there but continues to draw meaning from the complex world of today. He also is inspired in his songs by the love of his wife, Midge, who has been by his side for nearly 40 years. One of Paxton’s most powerful recent songs (“The Bravest”) quickly caught the public’s imagination (the most downloaded song on efolkmusic.com) and is dedicated to the New York City firemen who died trying to save people trapped in the Twin Towers of the World TYade Center on 9/11. The chorus reminds us of the poignancy of Paxton’s lyrics: “Now every time I try to sleep, I’m haunted by the sound Of firemen pounding up the stairs, while we were running down. When we met them on the stairs, they said we were too slow. “Get out, get out! They yelled at us. “The whole thing’s gonna go!” They didn’t have to tell us twice, we’d seen the world on fire. We kept on running down the stairs, while they kept climbing higher.” Ki (pronounced “key”) is a communitybased arts organization that creates community through story and song. It does this through workshops, performances and educational programs at its home base in See PAXTON, Page B2 A LEGEND: Tom Paxton, one of America's best known folksingers and songwriters since the 1960s. will present a concert at Ki Theatre's 'Song and#>Sushi’ benefit dinner on Saturday, June 12. SETTING: The setting for Ki Theatre's gala benefit is Fran Moore Krebser’s home, ‘Patria,’ a working farm in the shadows of the Blue Ridge mountains north of Flint Hill.

The reception for the show is June 6 from 2 to 4 p.m. Phyllis Magrab’s recent works are inspired by her past experiences in weaving. Now she is weaving acrylic on paper and canvas into abstract, colorful compositions. They are both playful and thoughtful considerations of design issues. June Jordan’s work is the most representational of the three. She is painting from life while finding abstract shaped and suggestions within the subject matter. Her work in this show will be in oils. Eunice Wenger’s work is fiber collage. She makes paper and paints silk. With these she forms mixed media conceptual statements. Her ideas originate in nature, feminist thought or from reading.

Many of Ki Theatre’s programs are well known. Among them is the annual “No Ordinary Person” performances, “The Shepherds’ Play,” “Soup and Soul,” and its annual “Poetry Coffeehouses.” “Ancestral Voices,” a wellreceived new play, just premiered at Ki Theatre in April.

The Ki Theatre’s benefit dinner on June 12 offers a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity to meet and listen to the moving songs and melodies of one of the great songwriters of our era. Guests will share the ambiance of a lovely country home in a bucolic setting with the Blue Ridge as a backdrop. Along with the music, guests will be treated to an exquisite dinner featuring Sushi-the most popular traditional dish of Japan-prepared by skilled local chefs, including Paul Reisler, David Blackwell, and Peter Kreyling. Grilled tuna will be an alternative main dish. For those who can’t make the dinner, there also will be a special “Song and Dessert” event as part of the evening’s entertainment.

How did such qualities as freedom, individualism, justice and opportunity advance from conception to completion? What was the catalyst here? The answer to these questions is also the reason we celebrate Memorial Day each year. These dreams did not become reality without the sacrifice of thousands of lives in battle for well over two hundred years. We live in freedom today, thanks to the heroes who gave up their fledgling futures for us. They gave us a personal definition of patriotism. Though thee courageous men and women were afforded little goodness in battle...there was one item many Insisted upon keeping dose to their heart That was the Bible, the comfort of God's Holy Word that saved souls even when life could not be preserved. Perhaps the poet, Rudyard Kipling, echoed the sentiments of those dying heroes in these stirring words from the conclusion of his patriotic poem, •'The Choice”, '‘Then praise the Lord mu High Whose strength hath sand us whole, Who hade as choose that the Flesh should die And not the Using Soul!” May you have a most meaningful Memorial Day!
