With a name like that one can’t help wonder why there needs to be a group for dogs with psychological problems, but Therapy Dogs is actually a group whose purpose is to help people. Sally Petty is responsible for recently starting this volunteer group in Rappahannock County which consists of dogs and dog owners/lovers. Therapy Dogs make visits to local hospitals, day care centers, Headstart, nursing homes, schools, libraries, even prisons — anywhere they can make someone’s day a little better. Petty swears by the therapeutic results of interaction with animals. “It is a scientific fact that petting animals and interaction lowers blood pressure and has a calming See DOGS, Page A6 Therapy Dog meeting A Therapy Dog informational meeting will be held for dog owners and their dogs on .

MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer A clutch of new bills signed into law by Gov. Mark Warner recently has put repeat drunk drivers in Virginia on notice by giving law enforcement more ammunition with which to fight. This includes two new laws to help them catch and prevent repeat offenders from driving drunk again. One requires drivers with previous DUI arrests to take a roadside breathalizer test; refusing the test now brings an automatic Class 2 Misdemeanor charge. “This is significant for us,” said Capt. Robert Northern, Commander of the Culpeper Division of the State Police, which oversees Rappahannock County. It prevents a repeat offender from “buying time” under present laws, which require a magis Meetings • On Thursday, June 10 the Architectural Review Board (ARB) of the Town of Washington will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall on Gay Street. • On Wednesday, June 16 the Rappahannock County Planning Commission meets at 7:30 p.m. at the county courthouse on Gay Street.

The second law allows the state to seize the vehicles of repeat offenders. “It’s another way of going after the repeat offender by keeping him away from his own automobile,” said Capt. Northern in a recent interview. “Any drunk driver is a problem. We find that often first time offenders usually respond to punishments and don’t ever do it again. But we are catching people who have been caught several times before. Getting their licenses suspended and a minimum jail time isn’t enough to keep them from driving.” Now, it is hoped by lawmakers and enforcement officials alike, these repeat offenders will have to take notice. Many of the 23 other DUI bills, which 14 assemblymen from all over the state introduced, give “a powerful incentive for those repeat offenders to think before they drink and get Social drinkers often don’t drive when they have had too much to drink, but repeat and hardcore drinkers do.

MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Wnter In an impassioned address Monday evening before the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, Sheriff Larry Sherertz made a solid case for supplemental compensation for his deputies for fiscal year 2005. Before the meeting began, Sherertz said, “This is the most important day of the year for me. These people” — and he pointed to a row of seven, his deputies, in uniform and out, waiting quietly on wooden benches for the meeting to commence — “depend on me.” As Sherertz began, dearly nervous but looking confident in a spitand-polish uniform, with a sheaf of supporting documents in his hand, he stood before the supervisors seated around a rectangular table in the county courthouse in Little Washington. “I’m here tonight to speak to the board to encourage and even to implore you to make an investment See SHERIFF, Page A8 MCGRUFF BARKS: McGruff, the mascot of the National Crime Prevention Council, will appear in balloon form (at 32 feet tall the world's largest McGruff) at this year's D.A.R.E.

Box 59, Washington, Virginia 22747 ' Local students recognized for academic excellence Ibp academically talented students from Virginia are being honored this spring in special in-state ceremonies to celebrate their academic abilities. Over 78,000 students from 19 states and the District of Columbia participated in a national academic talent search in 2004, organized by the John Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTYl Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, CTY identifies America’s top students in grades two through eight and provides programs and services to help them make the most of their academic abilities. These very bright young people were invited to participate in CTY’s talent search because they scored at the 97th percentile or higher on school standardized tests. They then took additional above gradelevel exams, which yielded further information about their verbal and mathematical reasoning abilities. The CTY awards ceremonies recognize the top scorers in the CTY search. Out of the 14,000 Virginia students who participated in the testing only 4,800 students were invited to attend the special awards ceremony held May 9 at James Madison University in Harrisburg. Included in the list of topscorers who attended the ceremony were Rappahannock County Elementary School sixth graders Tyler Perren Crews and Michael David Barney, who are in the gifted and talented program offered at RCES. “We want these bright children to have their day in the limelight for their academic talent and to celebrate their abilities just as we celebrate excellence in athletics or the performing arts,” says Lea Yabara, Ph.D., CTY’s executive director. “Students recognized for their academic talents begin to define themselves as academic achievers. They also more clearly appreciate that ‘being smart is being cool.’” Donations for Sidney Dodson Fund Due to the reorganization of the Sidney Dodson Cerebral Palsy Fund into a foundation, the Rainbow Rapidan foundation will be used for the tax deductible donations.

Old-fashioned Ice Cream Parlor . Supplies • Antiques • Stylish Home Furnishings and Decorations County library relies on volunteers By David Shaffer Special to the Rappahannock News Some folks may not realize that the Rappahannock County • Library runs on a good deal of volunteer power. With only three paid staff, the libraiy relies heavily on our 15 volunteers, who contribute over 50 hours a week to the smooth operation of the library. The volunteers work the circulation desk, answer phones, assist patrons, and perform a host of other tasks. Former librarian Grace Sims gets things started on Mondays, handling the circulation desk from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Come in on a Tuesday and meet our newest volunteer, Kathy Poush. Although retired now, Kathy was a librarian in another life, and we’re fortunate to have her expertise. Wednesdays it’s Sam McDermott in the afternoon and Preston Angell in the evening. Retired children’s librarian Stella Clark helps out with the shelving on Wednesdays as well. Thursdays you’ll find Maureen Harris in the mornings and Lee Bird handling the afternoon shift. While Barbara Kiley works the circulation desk on Fridays, Dorothy Kuncewicz continues the never-ending task of weeding and shifting books. Howard Ziemer takes over the desk on Friday afternoons. The front desk isn’t the only place volunteers help out. Min Jumak takes care of covering new books, while Tbd Morgan has taken on the task of book repair. Tbd is also indispensable in keeping our aging IBMs up and running. A special thanks is in order for John Schultz. John was steady as a rock on Monday evenings and all day each Tuesday. John has moved out of the county, and he’ll be missed at the library. Incidentally, the library is in need of a volunteer for Mondays from 4 to 8 p.m. Those interested should contact library director David Shaffer at 675-3780. Thanks also to Bruce Wetteroth for his help with various maintenance projects, and Carol Dean, who has recently taken the Jamieson Room kitchen under her wing. These volunteers, together with the generous aid of the Friends of the Library, truly demonstrate the power of community spirit. So thanks to all of you who have done so much to make our library a welcoming place - your efforts are very much appreciated. David Shaffer is director of the Rappahannock County Library.

Sports Two Rapp soccer teams collide By Anders Drew Special to the Rappahannock News Two Rappahannock soccer teams went head to head last Friday. The Yellow Jackets, the U-10 boys’ team coached by Jeff Hazel and Anders Drew faced off against Coach Steve Lee’s St. Peter’s U-10 team. Amidst the rain, these two teams played hard. The rain made the ball very slick and difficult to control. At the start of the game the Yellow Jackets wrent ahead first. Robbie Adams made a great kick scoring a goal. Seth Wayland played goal all the game for St. Peters and did a good job defending the Yellow Jackets’ tough shots. Peter Lee scored a goal for St. Peters tying the game 1-1. Maria Lee, Joshua Jones and Patrick Foley played great defense but good passing helped the Yellow Jackets gain the lead. Jonathan Letsen, Woody Hazel and Robbie Adams practiced some of their new offensive tactics against St. Peters. Jonathan Letsen scored a goal with an assist from Woody Hazel and Blake Jeanniton scored another goal with a big kick that rolled into the net. Dylan Stoner had an excellent game playing goalie the first half. By halftime, the score was 41 in favor of the Yellow Jackets. But St. Peters embarked a comeback in the second half. Billy Hogan and Conner Forrest played mid-field and hustled after the ball passing it up to Michael and Conor O’ Heir playing forward. Conor O’ Heir scored two goals with two assists from Case Kramer. Ryan Ochea showed great defense throughout the game as St. Peters looked to even up the score. Trevor Lee switched to goalie in the second half for the Yellow Jackets and did not allow any more goals. Andrew Oyster and K. T. Milam played great on defense helping Tanyon Lee score two goals that helped win the game for the Yellow Jackets. Friday’s game was the only game played last weekend due to the weather. Both teams played very well and showed good sportsmanship. Both Coach Hazel and Coach Lee’s teams play this Saturday at home against Madison and Culpeper behind the softball fields at RCES. Bring a chair and come out and cheer. RAA to hold closing ceremonies on Tune 19 By Amy Hitt Special to the Rappahannock News ^School is almost over and so is the baseball season for the Rappahannock Athletic Association. This year the RAA had over 250 children participate in the baseball program, children of all ages from T-ball to Babe Ruth. Several visitors came to the complex this year: members of the Board of Supervisors, the Culpeper Color Guard performing a flag ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. John Early and State Commissioner Don Rose Sr. There were three All-Star teams this year: ages eight and under coached by Chuck Putnam, 10 and under by Jon Peavley and 12 and under by Hodge Miller. The 12 and under District V tournament will be held at Stuart Field on the Fourth of July weekend. There will be nine teams participating in the tournament this year. The games will start on July 2 and will go on all weekend. All the children have had a wonderful season. June 19 will be closing ceremonies. The trophies in each league will be given out, a league-wide picnic will be held and a coaches’ softball game will top off the days activities. RAA would like to thank all of the sponsors and volunteers this year for their commitment to the children of our area. With their continued support many items at Stuart Field have been replaced and great equipment has been given to the children to learn the game of baseball.

The chattering klatches in the press had said it all, and even more, an hour after the announcement of President Ronald Reagan’s demise. They reminded us of his Great Communicator status, how he Beat the Soviet Union, how he Changed the Republican Party, and Made America Proud again. His greatness of course resides in the minds and private reminiscences of anyone whose lives he touched. These may be quieter, less informed memories, and more valuable for their nature. We recall two images of President Reagan. One sees him standing on the steps of a small wooden meeting house near the windblown shores of an isolated outpost in Iceland; beside him was Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev in a dark overcoat. The two men had sent their worried minions scurrying while they had a private talk, leader to leader, inside the humble building. They emerged on those steps and what had transpired inside was nothing less than astonishing: on their own they had decided to break up and destroy their individual nuclear stockpiles. And they announced as much for the whole world to hear. The national security establishments and the military shuddered and whined that this could not be. How could a leader on his own accord just do something like that? Reagan did. He did not “win” the Cold War. He and Gorbachev brought about a peaceful dawn after a long, horrid nuclear night, and the world was forever altered for the good. It may have been the most profound historical moment in the life of anybody alive today. The choice came out of a man. Not just a male of a certain age, but a man who knew himself, displayed simply no ego, and who knew his own mind, right from wrong, and did not hide behind polls and advisers and surrogates. He is remembered as the last man, reminiscent, we suppose, of the kinds of men our Founding Fathers probably were. He showed no signs of arrested development, as two of his three successors did — Clinton with his “that woman” high jinks, and Bush with his chip-on-the-shoulder that bespeaks an immaturity which almost surely would have dismayed and amused Reagan the man. * Ronald Reagan knew who he was, knew what a president should do, and he did it. His kind does- ' n’t come around often. What we should recall more than the particulars was how lucky we were to have had him. Rappahannock Today Photo courtesy/Kerrie Mullany FOR IRAQI CHILDREN: Wakefield Country Day School students have organized a drive to provide school kits for children in Iraq undet a national program called Operation Iraqi Children that was started by actor Gary Sinise and the author of “Seabiscuit,” Laura Hillenbrand. According to Kerrie Mullany who organized the drive, the program sends school notebooks, small toys, pencil sharpeners, and colored pencils to American soldiers serving in Iraq who in turn hand out the supplies to Iraqi school children in their areas of operation. At Wakefield, students from pre-school to seventh grade have collected money and materials for 12 school kits. The private school in Flint Hill has chosen to dedicate its donations to its 1999 alumnus, U. S. Army 2nd Lt. Leonard Cowherd, 23, who was killed in Iraq May 16. Shown are Wakefield students, from left top row: Bert Heddleston, Drake Lynn, Fabian Von Feilitzsch, Kathy McNitt, Willow Lynn, second grade teacher April Heddleston, and Danielle Stryker. Seated from left are Will Mullany, Brian Shafran, Sam Mullany, and Tim Pressler. Letters The lessons of history It is a cliche that those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. Consider the conflict we are involved in today, the Jewish and Muslim , worlds and why their confrontation is so intense. Proud and gifted Jews were scattered all over Europe, humiliated and grossly mistreated long before the holocaust. The day, for example, Columbus departed to discover America, Spain expelled all remaining Jews in the country. No wonder they have fought so intensely to establish a homeland in Palestine. We read that in the Muslim world the medieval crusades turned a relatively lawful, tolerant and value-oriented society into the militant pan-Islamic movement we know today. The creation of an Israeli nation in Palestine and such atrocities as ethnic cleansing against Muslims in Bosnia, the Chechen suppression and crushing of Afghanistan by the Soviets has exacerbated the crisis in modern times. Superimpose on this scene the complicated relationships of Turkey, the Kurds, Iran, Syria, and Iraq, the root causes of which reach far back. Add poverty, ignorance, and hopelessness of many Muslims to understand their vulnerability to proposals of violent action. We should take great care in entering that arena. This intensity of feeling exploded in our faces on Sept. 11, 2001 and we reacted in self-defense. Should that have included an attack and occupation of Iraq? Can we learn from history? This is the situation: for security and economic advantage the most powerful nation in the world has taken an interest in a group of provinces across a great ocean and, based on faulty intelligence, preemptively invaded them. Nations had been exploit ing the area for many years but the inhabitants did not want to be exploited anymore. They had radical political and religious beliefs and internal differences, but a nationalistic spirit united them and they wanted independence. They began to resist the occupation. Major forces poured in to quell the resistance. The invaders established a series of compounds from which they sallied forth to control the populace. They set up local government, recruited local troops and those of allies but they were not very effective. The powerful invaders rarely lost a battle but they could not control the countryside. The natives just faded before them and came back again, often getting assistance from outside their borders. The invaders formed defense lines around hostile areas and attempted to pacify the rest. But nothing worked. Noncombatant casualties and mistreatment of prisoners further alienated the occupied. Despite command policies, arrogance and humiliation occurred too often. The threat of other enemies assaulting the homeland inhibited the invaders’ commitment. The looses became unacceptable and the people clamored for their soldiers withdrawal. The leadership was so discredited it was deposed, the great nation did withdraw and the faraway provinces gained their independence. What war is this? This description fits, without changing a word, the first century Roman invasion of Britain, the 18th century attempt of the British to retain the American colonies and the 20th century U. S. occupation of Vietnam. Will it describe the 21st century war in Iraq? Nels Parson Washington Examine ‘the angry, hateful attitude’ of the Democrats In President Bush we have a steady, confident, focused, courageous leader. He is not a mind-reader though the Democrats expect him to be. They prefer to play the blame game rather than initiate a positive responsible plan for out nation. The Democrats have perfected the attack mode of finding fault and expecting perfection from their opponent. They find it convenient to second guess the leaders when they are not responsible for the consequences. In the previous administration the Democrats presented the American people with a champion liar to lead us. They followed with an exaggeration champion. When that tactic failed, they recently proposed a temper tantrum champion. At present, the Democrats are offering us a champion debater, proficient on both sides. We have a president in office who portrays basic American values honesty, optimism, courage, personal discipline. He envisions an America that provides unlimited opportunities for our children and grandchildren unhindered by fear of terrorists. He advocates strong nre ventive measures with no wavering. It is time for American voters to examine the angry, hateful attitude of the Democrats in view of their own expectations for our country. With the weak choices the Democrats offer, we dare not exchange our reliable leader for a hindsighted champion. Libby Whetzei Wushineton ‘Unwelcome intruders just love dark skies’ I went to the Planning Commission meeting on April 15. The controversial proposed lighting ordinance for Rappahannock County was up for a public hearing. A power outage knocked out electricity before the public hearing began. There was no reason for it, it just happened. This action postponed the public hearing until May. I believe this was an act of God but there are some people in the county who would disagree. Because the lighting ordinance was postponed it did allow the planners and their constituents to get in touch with each other to express their wishes. I went to the planners’ meeting again on May 19. The topic again was the lighting ordinance. When the public hearing c was opened, there were several people in the audience who spoke for the lighting ordinance. Only one person, David Konick, spoke against it. When the vote was cast, it was three for and three against resulting in a tie vote. • One person in the audience made the statement he could not understand why there was a tie vote since there Was only one district that is opposed to the lighting ordinance. There was a petition circulated before the public hoaxing on April 15. On this petition there were 301 signatures. Signatures opposed to the new lighting ordinance were collected during October and November 2003 by volunteers of Rappahannock County. The results are: Amissville 190 signatures, Caatleton 75, Viewtown 17,. Sperryville 6, Flint Hill 4, Chester Gap 3, Woodville 3, Rixeyville 1 and Boston two. There was a letter read to the planners indicating that probably the people signing this petition did not know what they were signing. There were almost as many signing this petition from other areas as Amissville. Because of the tie vote the lighting ordinance will go back for another public hearing on June 16. I suggest whether you are for the ordinance or whether you are against the ordinance to be in attendance on that date to express your wishes. Just remember that a well lit house is an effective deterrent to intruders. Uhwelcome intruders just love dark skies. Vivian N. Yancey Amissville Slow down motorcyclists on Fodderstack, Crest Hill roads Thank God the authorities are finally doing something to crack down on the motorcyclists on the “racetrack” near Sperryville. It’s a good start but it has to be expanded to Fodderstack Road and Crest Hill Road. A weekend doesn’t go by that I don’t have three to seven “rice rockets” passing me and two other cars on the Fodderstack. I don’t dare bicycle on Crest Hill on the weekend and I’m afraid to take my children bicycling on the Fodderstack on the weekend. These people come out here with flagrant disregard for the speed limits and our safety. It’s only a matter of time before there’s an accident in which an innocent ia killed or a confrontation. I’ve taken to riding the middle of the Fodderstack when I see them racing up behind me so that they can’t pass. I see no reason to extend these riders any hospitality when their racing and the high pitched whine of their bikes ruin the experience for everyone here and degrade the environment. Even on Skyline Drive you can hear the echo of the motorcycles when they’re five miles up the road. Why are motorcycles allowed to have such poor muffler systems? A car making that much noise would be ticketed immedir ately. Maybe the Fodderstack and Crest Hill speed limits can be reduced to 35 miles per hour. And maybe the police can give them a rolling escort out of the county when they arrive in large groups. Then their web sites will spread the word that this isn’t a great place for riding instead of touting our roads as “racetracks.” Mark Wallace Flint Hill

Opinion & Historical Perspective A response to ‘insulting’ comments on school system Never having been one to mind speaking “publicly or candidly” about any topic, I am compelled to respond to the question posed by John Kiser in the June 3 edition of the Rappahannock News: “Public Schools: What are we getting for our money?” I am neither representing the views of the school system or necessarily the views of my fellow teachers. I am a parent, a taxpayer, and a teacher in this county. My proudest role is that of parent. I have a first grader that has thrived in our “bankrupt” schools. She has learned to read on an accelerated level, participates in a math enrichment program, shows aptitude with art, loves PE and is a dandy little soccer player. I have taught in this systen for five years. Before that I taught in Loudoun County. I took a $20,000 pay cut to accept a job in Rappahannock County. I wanted to work where I lived; I wanted to know the people in the community; and I wanted to make a contribution and a difference. In last week’s newspaper alone I saw no less than four articles about the successes of our students and faculty. Those stories are about kids and teachers and the communi ty working together. Then I The Forum Holly Massie saw Mr. Kiser’s article. I wish to address his concerns in the order in which he presented them. Misplaced emphasis Buildings do not make better education. Agreed. However, Mr. Kiser and anyone who wishes is more than welcome to sit in my classroom on the next 90 degree plus day. Plan to dress in cool attire as it will most likely reach a few degrees warmer than the outdoors. Or perhaps visit on a rainy day when leaks in the roof produce the most melodic sounds as the drops plink into the receptacles. Better yet, visit the band trailer during middle school exploratory when the middle school band is practicing. Oh, wait, the middle school band can’t all practice there at once because there is no room for all of them. Drive by and see our track team practicing in the bus loop of the high school. Be careful when you pull in though because we love those kids and they need to be safe. If Mr. Kiser remains unconvinced that facilities are at least a piece of a quality program, come visit our cafeteria, gym or hallways any evening in the winter when numerous high school and middle school teams vie for the privilege of practicing in such inadequate space. You will see kids, teachers and coaches with high morale, higher expectations and tremendous discipline working to develop the skills of our students. Despite these deficits caused by natural deterioration of age, state mandates, and new sports laws, one will find a dedicated group of educators. Tfeachers and paraprofessionals are aligning curriculum, building challenging programs and pushing everyday to meet tougher and perhaps unrealistic state mandates. They eat lunch while helping kids with homework, hold unpaid afterschool remediation, host fundraisers to close the gap between wants and needs, plan field trips, plant greenhouses, coach sports, hold intramurals, host dances and parties to keep our kids in safe places, teach PE even if they are the math teacher the rest of the day, run clubs without compensation, take kids to state competitions for academics and sports, cheer kids on, love them, support them and build the future one child at a time. Employees in this system stay because we see the outcome of our efforts everyday in the community around us. Tb suggest that we can do more with less is degrading. We can but should we? Second concern Who has a say in where the money goes? I was at a School Board meeting a few weeks ago and there were seven people in the room who weren’t employees of the school. Now, true, that was no budget meeting but the story would not be much different. In five years I have never seen much turnout at any meeting of that sort. If the public wants a voice, the forum is provided. As for teachers, well, we are asked for our budget requests and I would say they get weighed pretty fairly most of the time. Unfortunately, not too many teachers are showing up at public hearings either. I don’t disagree that there are a couple of powerful lobby groups within the school but if those same parents started a Science Boosters program I would be cheering them on. We can’t say we want parental voice and then attempt to condemn it when we don’t fully agree. Those same parents are the ones who show up to volunteer, chaperone trips, and fully support their children’s academic pursuits. I guess I am willing to take the bad with the good. Controlling school costs For years, there was a less than optimum working relationship between the Board of Supervisors and the school system. Last year the school saw a different relationship. This was fostered by many people inside and outside of the system — "stakeholders” who believed the time had come to stop hurting kids with political meandering. Citizens have every right to expect fiscal responsibility and a reckoning of where their money is being allocated. Debate and questioning is not going to solve the perception that schools cost too much money. Education of our citizenry might be a good place to start. We do not enjoy the luxury of an economy of scale in this county. When the school needs a bus or a building or a track, the cost gets spread over a thousand kids or so. In surrounding counties, that cost might be spread over 5,000 or 10,000 or even 20,000 kids. The bus costs the same either place. We are a “rich” county with a high “ability to pay” or so the state says. Unfortunately a few, very wealthy individuals drive up the per capita income. Make no mistake; those people are not the farmer down the road that has land passed from generation to generation. He may be no more able to shoulder the increased tax burden than the family of four living on a fixed income in a small home with little land. Funding formulas and state contributions are a muddled mess to wade through and only one other county in the state of Virginia looks fiscally like Rappahannock. State legislators are not eager to fix the problem for us. Creative solutions, not-for-profits such as Headwaters and long term financial commitments such as this bond help shoulder a burden that does not look to get much better. Voice I found Mr. Kiser’s comments insulting. The school system is not perfect and never will be. There are dedicated concerned individuals working to get it as close as possible. I just want Mr. Kiser to know that I am cheerleading this budget as a parent, as a taxpayer and as an educator. I have heard it said that if you think education is expensive you should try ignorance. ‘Farming is all that we have to protect open space’ "Degarding Bruce Jones’ artiJLVcle on the bobwhite quail in the June 3 edition of the Rappahannock News, I too lament the loss of quail from the area. When I was a boy shooting doves I would sometimes walk up on a covey of quail and they would explode into the air with a frightening roar. Without a bird dog to point them out, the hunter does not even have time to raise his shotgun before the birds zoom out of range. Invariably I would be left standing there panting with excitement with the breech and magazine of my gun full of unfired shells. On my farm in Castleton I have begun to kill the fescue grass and replace it with clover. Clover won’t grow tall enough to hide quail from the wily fox, yet it provides food for deer and turkey while controlling soil erosion. Wildlife biologists complain that the only animal that likes to eat fescue is the omnipresent cow. Yet the writer of the quail 'article engages in a bit of hyperbole that has sadly become conventional wisdom. He cites a former employee who complains that the Rappahannock Farmers Cooperative dumps chemical and noxious pesticides onto county fields. Yes, they have come onto my pasture and spread that noxious compound know as “lime.” “Lime” is limestone, which is nothing more than rock. On other farms in the area the Cooperative spreads the herbicide Roundup (glysophate), a chemical that is so benign that you can sow seeds directly into the soil after application. Farmers, and Virginia vineyards in particular, recognize the need for sustainable agriculture and integrated pest management (EPM) programs that reduce agriculture runoff of nitrogen and phosphorous and reduce pesticide use. Tbward that end the State of Virginia, Ducks Unlimited, and others have funded the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) to pay landowners to plant buffer zones along streams. You can see one such planting on the left-hand side of the road as you leave Sperryville headed to Woodville. They are easy to spot because the young trees and bushes are planted in green plastic grow tubes. Another bit of subterfuge is the faux panacea that all farming would be friendly if it was only “organic.” Wine that is labeled “organic” under the legal definition is made from grapes that have been liberally doused with copper and sulfur—while that in no way affects the wine, you would not want to eat that with your cereal. And composted chicken manure, an organic fertilizer, leeches into streams and causes algae blooms in the far away Chesapeake Bay. Residents of Rappahannock County cannot on the one-hand complain about encroaching development in Culpeper County and on the other hand attack farming as environmen tally unfriendly. Farming is all that we have to protect open space. If there were no farms there would only be forests. And forests don’t harbor quail since trees provide no place for them to hide. Walker Elliott Rowe Castleton Why the quail are disappearing ^ I?d like to add a few thoughts to those of Bruce Jones (June 3 issue of Rappahannock News) as to why the quail are disappearing/have disappeared. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries blames this on a combination of habitat shift, chemical use, and weather change. I dispute all those reasons. I grew up an avid Rappahannock County bird hunter, and kept German Shorthair pointers into the 1980s, but backed off when there were no more birds. I have kept annual records of. wildlife “harvest” on about 1,000 acres of my part of Rappahannock since around 1970. These 1,000 acres have never been in row crops. In my time, pesticides and few other chemicals have not been used at all. Old pasture has grown up into trees, but timber has been cut periodically in ways that should, according to theory, have enhanced attraction to ground-nesting birds. Winters are, if anything, less harsh. In my part of Rappahannock, the Ruffed Grouse population absolutely crashed in the summer and fall of 1974. The quail popula-, tion crashed in 1978. I suspect one cause is air pollution, but no one in Virginia seems to be researching this (though, privately, scientists say they are inclined to agree). I do know that, in the late 1980s, EPA cited Front Royal’s Avtex plant (remember the stink it produced countywide while making stuff for the space industry?) as the second-worst source of toxic air pollutants in the whole USA. At least some of those pollutants landed on our game bird habitat. Probably another cause is our proliferating deer population, which is cleaning out all the low-level cover and foods on which quail and grouse depend. At least, that is true where we live. So, what’s the remedy? Enforce air quality standards, and get rid of the vestiges of deer-hunting regulations that were born in an era of deer scarcity rather than over-pop- * ulation.

DUI From Page A1 the teeth in these new bills was meant to bite. For the most part, the bills followed the recommendations made last year by the Governor’s Task Force to Combat Drunk Driving Under the Influence of Drugs and Alcohol. Gov. Warner, during the signing ceremony, received an award from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for promoting initiatives to combat drunk driving. The citation by NTSB Chair Ellen Engleman Conners noted that Virginia's actions will challenge other states to “get serious about alcohol and drug impaired drivers.” The governor’s office points to the need-driven nature of these new laws and the penalties they invoke. The numbers of drunk-driving crashes and fatalities in Virginia have “crept up” over the laws few years, says Atkins. In the year 2000, there were 11,085 alcohol-related crashes; the state recorded 11,788 in 2002. In terms of alcoholrelated fatalities, there were 355 in 2000 and 375 in 2002. All time alcohol-related fatalities reached a low of 302 in 1997. Blood-alcohol content i BAC ) has also been creeping up. In 2000, the average BAC for those caught was .1369 and in 2002, it was .1382. The legal qualifying limit for DUI is .08. The new laws lower the qualifying threshold for elevated BAC, from .20 percent now to .15 percent. The higher the BAC, the and with the new laws, those mandatory penalties are severely hardened. For first-time elevated BAC offenders, courts will impose a mandatory confinement of five days, and driving with a BAC of .20 percent, previously .25 percent, will get offenders 10 days of mandatory jail time. The new laws extend to seven days the amount of time a driver’s license is revoked for first-time DUI offenders and for second offenders to 30 days. What this means: DUI offenders will have their licenses revoked for that period of time automatically before reaching their court appearances, if not before. Third-time DUI offenders will receive revocations of 60 days. Part of the explanation for the statistical “creep” of fatalities, accidents, and BAC of drivers in Virginia is that more drivers are driving faster with heavier vehicles that are easier to lose control than before, and the areas where motorists drive are becoming more congested. more penalty, Land For Sale Wooded 22 acre parcel in Rixeyville/Amissville area.

I didn’t think too much of it. As I was leaving a woman who worked there approached me and said she had never heard that man speak before. I got chills.” Petty tells another story of the dog magic at work, and the help a dog can be in physical therapy. “A woman with the Home Health Agency had a stroke and didn't ever want to leave her bed. I told her that if she got in her wheelchair she could pet my dog. Eventually she was out of bed at every visit and even using her bad arm to pet Maggie.” To be a part of this fulfilling experience, dogs do not need special training, though they must be over one year of age, healthy, obedient, and of course, loving. A dog must also pass a series of tests which evaluate the dog’s obedience, cleanliness, and ability to interact with other people and animals. Testing includes walking quietly on a leash, being stroked and pet all over by Petty, meeting another dog, approaching the dog with a wheelchair, walker, and crutches, and other methods to study the behavior of the dog. Not all dogs are ready for this job. Petty encourages owners to take their dogs to public places. “A lot of people have wonderful dogs but don’t take Real Estate Transactions The following real estate transactions were recorded recently in the Rappahannock County Circuit Court Clerk’s office: Gregory E.

It defined us as wise, rational, thinking beings. Since the beginning, the funeral tradition incorporated a ceremonial act, a special place for the dead to rest, and a memorial. Funeral customs began out of fear of the dead, as well as fear that the deceased’s spirit may return if the body were not disposed of in a respectful manner. Early humans were also fearful that failure to bury the dead according to established custom would fail to appease the higher power that oversaw their daily lives. While much of the fear associated with burial has been replaced with awe and respect, the tradition lives on. Ceremonies are important to everyone because they offer us a sense of order, meaning and continuity. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we are here to help you design services that honor your loved one in the manner you wish. We are experienced at supporting grieving families.

Sheriff From Page A1 in the SherifFs Department of Rappahannock County,” Sherertz said. Sherertz asked for a $6,146 supplemental salary for all his deputies and for himself. At present, the starting salary for Rappahannock’s deputies is $23,854, compared to $30,000 for Culpeper deputies, $28,134 for Warren County’s deputies, and $27,454 for Madison Sheriffs Office deputies. Sherertz said, “This is not in any way a gift or a windfall. (My deputies) earn this money every day.” He supported his argument by explaining to the supervisors how in fiscal year 2004, his office had lost five deputies who left for higher salaries elsewhere. This amounted to a financial loss to the county for training these five men of $64,000. “These men need to feed their families,” he implored, explaining his belief of why so many deputies had departed. Sherertz read from an article in the March 27 Culpeper Star-Exponent in which Culpeper Police Captain Rick Pinksaw was quoted as saying, “We got a steal,” when they hired Deputy J.C. Welch away from Rappahannock last year for more money. And Culpeper Police Captain Chris Jenkins added insult to injury, saying in the same article, “Rappahannock’s loss is our gain.” Sherertz told the supervisors, “That’s the way it’s been going. I’m playing the role of a junk yard dog telling sheriffs in neighboring counties to back off (from trying to hire away his deputies).” Later in his presentation he said, “I would like you to keep in mind, we cannot continue to train people only to have them go down the road. We are not competitive (in Rappahannock County), and that is what this is all about. I don’t want Rappahannock to become a journeyman’s office of deputies.” However impassioned and reasoned Sherertz’s arguments seemed, not everyone in the room heard them the same way. County Administrator John McCarthy pointed out later that a disparity from county to county has always existed in compensations of Constitutional Officers, like SherifTs Office, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, the Commonwealths Attorney and so on. Those officers in counties lying particularly to the east of Rappahannock earn more. The state of Virginia determines these compensation levels. Thus, the supplemental salary that the sheriff is asking for himself and his deputies represents “a sea change for the county to do,” said another observer at Mondays meeting. If one Constitutional Officer receives a supplemental, in other words, aren’t all constitutional officers justified in asking for the same? Some supervisors privately think that the sheriff”s appeal is “an awful lot of money, about a penny on the tax rate” and “a big bite for the board to accept.” The sheriff made a last appeal for deputies’ retirement benefits. The present rules that determine retirement benefits provide 51 percent of the deputy’s salary after 30 years of service. All other neighboring counties provide retirement benefits after 25 years of service. Also, nearly all neighboring counties’ deputies receive what are called Law Enforcement Office Retirement Supplementals (LEOS). Sherertz is asking for LEOS for his deputies. These would provide 76 percent of a deputy’s salary after 25 years of service. Sherertz pointed out, under current retirement rules, Rappahannock’s deputies must work five years longer than those in adjoining counties and receive approximately one-third less at retirement. “This represents a loss of $163,200 for the deputy without LEOS,” said Sherertz. McCarthy said after the meting that “the market is moving toward LEOS,” and thus the county might be willing to intro duce them in gradual stages. Some supervisors indicated an unwillingness to “bite the bullet” on the whole package that the sheriff was requesting — the salary supplemental and full LEOS. “He wants it all, but maybe we will have. to spread it out over a few years. Getting it all in one fell swoop is unrealistic,” said one observer at the meeting. By statute, the supervisors can vote on the sherifFs proposals only after seven days have passed, and that means a vote will be taken at the supervisors’ upcoming meeting on June 22 at 7 p.m. Police Briefs Virginia State Police arrested two men in separate incidents for DUI in the last week. Mark L. Jenkins, 26, ran his 2001 Honda sports car off the road onto the right embankment at 12:45 p.m. on Saturday, June 5 nearly in front of the entrance to the Wakefield Country Day School in Flint Hill. There were no injuries. State Trooper Lee Felts placed Jenkins under arrested for DUI and brought him before the magistrate in Washington. Jenkins was a guest of the county for the night. Tracey H.

Sperryville Fire and Rescue were called to the scene. There were no injuries. State Trooper Lee Felts arrested Thompson for DUI, and drove him toi the magistrate’s office in Washington.

This story has been featured on several television shows, in magazines, and the news. The Martins received the 2000 ESSENCE Award “for building a better world and a future for forgotten children.” Rev. Martin refers to himself as “just a country preacher.” However, he has a powerful message, that of intervention. We should not permit the world to treat our children in a bad way. They are special gifts from God. We should lead by good example. Most of us have so much to share. How many of us have empty rooms at home? If you would like more information, please give me a call.

• Classifieds/B4-B7 June 10, 2004 A cowgirl and her horse Falling head over hooves for the rodeo By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer Out West, maybe even cowgirls get the blues. But not in Virginia, and certainly not if you are a rootin’ tootin’ cowgirl from Rappahannock like Maeghan Boucher As a rising 11th grader at Rappahannock County High School and Rappahannock’s only competitor in the Virginia High School Rodeo Association (VHSRA), Boucher, from Sperryville, can ride with the best of the women’s rodeo crowd and never get down, much less blue. Last weekend, she was awarded enough individual points to rank her 11th in the state in barrel racing and 12th in pole bending at the VHSRA’s Invitational Rodeo at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, attended by 150 contestants including those from West Virginia and North Carolina. Boucher, 16, with a fair complexion, sandy hair, a ballerina’s slight frame, and blue eyes the shade of a Dakotas’ winter sky, is the mistress of controlled violence when she spurs her horse Doc to race against time. In those beats of chaos, usually around 15-18 seconds to complete the triangular barrel course, with mere hundredths of -a second determining first from fourth places, Boucher and Doc seem almost in the continual act of falling head over hooves, with mass straining to move forward, beyond a velocity that seems possible. Her black cowgirl hat flies off her head. The wind is in her face. She leans forward as the horse suspends itself in mid air. She grasps the pummel to stay in a balance that threatens to unseat her. She becomes frozen in a tableau of headstrong vigor and joy heedless of the world outside her vision of the barrel ahead, the horse beneath, and the sky above. Indeed, in that moment caught on a frame, she is as modem as today’s teenager on a tear and as ancient as a Greek warrior, galloping over the dusty plains of Attica. She has never not been a horsewoman. “I had no choice but to like horses,” she says on a recent rainy afternoon, resigned to being inside. Her mother and father owned a farm in Massachusetts where Boucher was born. “I was more or less bom in the saddle.” Her mother, Sally Petty, claims that she put her daughter in a saddle when she was only five days old. Boucher moved to Rappahannock with her mother three years ago from 66 I had no choice but to like horses. I was more or less born in the saddle. Maeghan Boucher, 16 Rodeo competitor Vermont.-When she reached Sperryville, she says, “I wanted to rodeo.” Previously in Vermont, she had appeared in gymkhanas, an East coast hybrid that no self-respecting Western cowboy would dignify with the name rodeo. After school each day, Boucher saddles up and trains or heads off for at least an hour on trail rides with her mother. The responsibility of caring for the family’s five horses, she says, gives her “people skills. You learn patience. Rodeo people in general are light and easygoing.” And the VHSRA will not let members compete in rodeos who fail an academic subject. Boucher gets mostly A’s, she says, on her report cards. She says she does not know where she wants to attend university, but a visitor notices that she is wearing a University of Virginia sweatshirt. She feeds the horses and the dogs each night. “We’ve always had dogs,” and she points to the kitchen floor where Benjamin, a Golden-CollieHusky mix and Melli, an Australian shepherd puppy, are sprawled. Despite an early start with horses and her subsequent successes, she did not come easily to rodeos. “I got so nervous in my first rodeo I felt sick to my stomach,” she said. “A friend said, ‘Go! You’re up!”* Her dad, Bob Boucher, was often present to give her a pep talk, with step-by-step instructions about what to do. “Now I just have butterflies in my stomach, so I go off by myself and give my horse a talk and tell him to run clean and ask God to keep us safe. And somebody yells. You’re on,’ and we’re off running.” Della, her first rodeo horse, a palomino quarter horse, was a recalcitrant mare who “decided she didn’t Photos courtesy/Robert Petty RUNNING HOME: After making a turn, Rappahannock’s Maeghan Boucher rides like the wind to the finish line at a recent rodeo in Tennessee sponsored by the Virginia High School Rodeo Association. care to listen,” says Boucher of her first outing in a Virginia rodeo in 2002. “She disqualified me in all my events. I was ready to go home. I was so mad. Then she didn’t want to get in the trailer. I was done. But I went back the next weekend.” Doc, a five-year-old quarter horse gelding, took over when Della pulled her leg about two months ago. Doc did not know the pole patterns and he knew barrels at only a basic level, Boucher says. “But my first race on him, he went to the average of Della’s speed. It just blew everybody away. He’s a keeper.” At high school, she is alone in her interest in rodeo. “Nobody else does it,” she says, not seeming to mind in the least. “But they are really cool about it. Some of the girls ask me to bring them pictures of the hot cowboys.” Her boyfriend Robbie Swann, a See RODEO, Page B2 RACE TIME: Rappahannock's Maeghan Boucher flies against the clock on Doc around barrel one in a three-barrel course. Michael F. Vargo, headmaster, becomes Michael F. Vargo, student seeking a Ph.D By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer Michael F. Vargo, headmaster of Wakefield Country Day School for the last eight years, is finally going back to school. No one is more' relieved than Vargo himself, who says, “It’s now or never for me.” Vargo, who will be sorely missed at Wakefield, is referring to the central reason for leaving a post he has loved and devoted himself to over the years. Before starting out as Wakefield’s chief administrator, he had earned credits years ago at Columbia University toward a Ph.D in Education, which must be completed in 10 years or else the university voids the credits. “I am frustrated for never having reached that goal,” he said during an interview in his comfortable office on the Wakefield campus near Flint Hill. But in suspending his education, he brought a gentle personality, formidable intelligence, and a worldly view to the private school and its 180 students, grades K through 12. He arrived in Rappahannock County in 1996, five years after a schism that broke the school in half, with the establishment of a new campus in The Plains. Vargo previously had been Assistant Dean at Georgetown Preparatory School in Rockville, Md., and at the time was looking to become the head of a private school, like Wakefield Country Day, with a strong academic program and a classical education with an emphasis on vocabulary development and English. When he arrived, Wakefield was struggling to make ends meet, Vargo says, and he proudly points to an increased student body (from 143 students up to 211, before settling See VARGO, Page B8 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Malcolm MacPherson GOOD-BYE: Michael F. Vargo, the headmaster of Wakefield Country Day School is leaving after eight years to go back to school himself. I will miss the students mostly. They are good kids out here. And I will miss the wonderful faculty who work here. They are highly dedicated. Michael F. Vargo Wakefield headmaster Ki Theatre presents: ‘Stories Run Through Us’ By Bette Mahoney Special to the Rappahannock News Ki Theatre will present a new theatrical' performance, “Stories Run Through Us,” on Saturday, June 19 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, June 20 at 4 p.m. at the theatre on Gay Street in Washington. The production is the adaptation of five autobiographical stories for the theatre. The stories were originally written for the Life Stories Workshops led by actress Julie Portman. These workshops teach people of all backgrounds and ages to write and share their own stories. In the first production of its kind for Ki Theatre, short story writers around Virginia are collaborating with Rappahannock County actors and directors to turn the writers’ stories into stage pieces. It is hoped that this year’s production will be the first of such collaborations in the future. The writers include: • Carla Theodore of Sperryville, a noted writer, poet and activist. At the age of 60, Carla entered the Jewish Seminary to become a rabbi. In her story, “The Law,” she brings a young friend home on the Sabbath and must mediate between his Orthodox values and the bewilderment of her 92-year old mother. • Megan Hicks of Fredericksburg, an award-winning storyteller and origamist.

Her quirky “Who Done It?” See THEATRE, Page B2 The big parade is coming to Amissville on June 24 By Jed Duvall Special to the Rappahannock News The majorettes will lead the way; the band will sound the march. Churches and businesses will send their units, Smokey The Bear will wave at the children. The Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company will send the big parade right down Route 211 — stepping off smartly at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 24. Come early and buy a chicken dinner, a box supper, at the carnival grounds. The chicken will be available by 3:30 in the afternoon for those who wish to get a good place to settle down and watch the parade. The Rappahannock County Drum Corps will shake the ground with its pounding beat. Bubby Settle will send a truck or two - as will many other area businesses. Will the donkey and the elephant show up? Indeed, local Democratic and Republican party stalwarts will march along See PARADE, Page B2

The first camp, for children grades 1-4 (currently in K-3) is June 21-24. The second camp, 1 for children grades 5-7 (currently in 4-6) is July 12-16. Both camps run daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The curriculum revolves around a series of daily field trips and hands-on activities—from fossil hunts to swimming to praise dance, where children will learn the Biblical story of creation and be introduced to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Children then will be invited to participate in Sunday worship services at Reynolds on June 27 and July 18 to share some of the things each has learned. The camp provides fun in an active, loving, learn-’ ing and nurturing environment, with adult supervision and teen youth leaders as the primary teachers. Registration is limited, however, to 12 students per camp, so please call soon: Jon Heddleston, director, at 9878137. Vacation Bible School Trinity Episcopal and Washington Baptist churches invite children ages three through grade six to their annual Vacation Bible School from June 28 through July 2 at the Washington Baptist Church. This year’s exciting theme is “Lava Lava Island: Where Jesus’ love flows.” The program will provide memorable and fun Bible learning activities. Each day children will sing catchy songs, play teamwork building games, nibble Tropical Treat, take on a daily challenge to let Jesus’ love flow home, experience electrifying Bible adventures, collect Bible memory buddies to remind them of God’s Word, and create Bible Point Crafts they’ll take home and play with all summer long. “Lava Lava Island is an exciting way for kids to learn more about Jesus’ love,” says the Rev. Phil Bailey, pastor of Washington Baptist Church. “We’ll be studying stories about the life of Jesus. Plus, kids will join nearly a million children in North America and take part in a hands on mission project that will reach needy children in the Caribbean and Latin America. “Well conclude each day with a festive Lava Lava Luau that gets everyone involved in celebrating what they’ve learned. Family members and friends are encouraged to join us daily for this special time.We hope Lava Lava Island will help Jesus’ love flow into our community,” said Bailey. The program begins at 9 a.m. and concludes at 12 noon each day. Call the church office at (540) 675-3336 for more information or to register your child early. Rodeo From Page B1 fellow 10th grader at RCHS, only rides reluctantly, Boucher says. He goes to the rodeos to give her support. He had never been on a horse before he met Boucher. “I talked him into getting on a horse,” she says. “I told him, ‘If you are going to date me, you’re going to get on.’And they have been together for one year and one month, the equivalent in teen time to a Silver Wedding Anniversary. Remarkably, Boucher has only seen one Western rodeo in person. “I went to one out in New Mexico,” she says. “It seemed more natural out there. Here when you wear the Western attire, the hat and boots, some people ask you what you are wearing.” VHSRA is affiliated with the National High School Rodeo Association, which has a mem* bership of over 10,000 high school contestants in 39 states, four Canadian provinces and Australia. “High school rodeos are the most exciting rodeos you can watch,” opined VHSRA’s secretary, Chris Moore, who has been involved with the association since its inception in 1995. “Spectators are always astonished to see how good these kids are.” Students, parents, teachers enjoy Market Day By Robyn Jeanniton Special to the Rappahannock News Rappahannock County Elementary School held Market Day for its third and fourth graders on June 4. The event, which teaches students about economics with a hands on approach, was a huge success. More than 120 students, their teachers and parents set up “shops” as the gym was con verted into a marketplace for the students to sell their wares to fellow students, parents, staff, and other visitors. Using official Rappahannock Union currency, known as “shooks” that were handed out at the door, patrons and students were able to buy from an amazing assortment of handmade items from paper airplanes and jewelry to homemade cookies and other goodies. There was no shortage of services to compliment the goods. You could have your fortune told, nails painted, even have your hair colored by some eager third grade boys who were operating out of a large cabin tent. This fantastic program, promoted by all the third and fourth grade teachers and organized by third grade teacher Shelley Shankle, was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Parade From Page B1 the highway too. Brooks’ Excavating will give us a look at transportation in the early 20th century, with some of its beautifully preserved antique cars. There will be some very large tiny trucks, too - the midget semitractors of the Blue Ridge Shriners. Speaking of Shriners, the Kena Temple of Fairfax is sending its vehicle corps - the midget Corvettes, the ones that decorate many a parade in these parts. There will be no fewer than seven- that’s right - seven majorette groups, twirling and strutting for the crowds. And, of course, the fire engines. Bells ringing, lights flashing, fire trucks and firefighters from all over the region, from Warrenton to the Shenandoah Valley will be in the parade. Come early - get a good spot. Rain or shine, the big Amissville parade will happen on that Thursday evening, winding up at the Firemen’s Carnival for the night’s fun. The carnival itself starts the night of Wednesday, June 23 and runs through Saturday, June 26. This week and next, the Royal Court is forming.

Leo Tolstoy, in a letter to his son, wrote, The goal of our life should not be to find Joy in marriage, but to bring more love and truth into the world. We marry to assist each other in this task. The highest calling is that of the man who has dedicated Us lfe to serving God and doing good, and who unites with a woman in order to further that purpose.” Of course, Mr. Tolstoy did not mean we should not be happy with our mate. Happiness finds a couple when they unite as one spirit in God's service. In the marriage vows themselves, we hear ‘...and the two shall be as one.* Had God fcb that Adam could hart accomplished his mission on earth alone, He would not have given him Eve as a helpmate. The Creator chose to unite the two. ‘It is not good that man should be alone. I will make him a helper fit for him.” (Genesis 2:18) In this month of happy unions, may you remember that God makes a good marriage great Worship together and stay together. May God Bless!

Teen drivers cautioned about driving risks My son Douglas is driving now. He is 16. His slim black wallet opens to display the badge of freedom and wheels — his permanent Virginia driver’s license. I remember sitting with him in the Fauquier County Circuit Court in early May the day he received it. It was a formal session of the court and along with Doug in his slacks and itchy dress shirt were other teen-agers, appropriately attired, with one or both parents. All the seats in the courtroom balcony were filled. Judge Dudley Payne and Commonwealth’s Attorney JonVargo From Page B1 down to its present number of 180) under his direction. Vargo is a quiet, observant, optimistic educator, a shy, selfeffacing man of middle years. His enthusiasms reveal themselves, almost in spite of himself, when he talks about his students and the school. “I will miss the students mostly. They are good kids out here. And I will miss the wonderful faculty who work here,” he said. “They are highly dedicated.” He is most proud, he says, of bringing an awareness of a larger world into the minds of the students. He organized a Model United Nations, taking students two years in a row to Dublin, Ireland, to participate in a simulated U.N., attended by other students from around the world. In the classrooms, he began mini course offerings, not for credit, that have included Russian Film, French, Swedish and Japanese Literature, African History, and a History of the Middle East. He expanded course offerings that now include Economics, Music Appreciation, and Psychology as well as the addition of more Advanced Placement courses. And he took a further step by recruiting international students to attend Wakefield, starting with four but now pointing to 15 students from as far away as Turkey and Japan and Taiwan. For these students, he set up a boarding facility in the Old Trinity Manor, which was the former home of the school’s founder, Dr. Lynn and his wife, Pamela. Vargo, as an outgrowth of his own international background, specializing in languages and linguistics with degrees from Georgetown University and New York University, has tried to “expand Wakefield students’ views of attending colleges outside of Virginia — not that Virginia doesn’t have wonderful universities and colleges,” he said. “It does. But I push the students to look further afield than that.” During his own undergraduate years and those spent earning a Master’s degree, he lived and traveled abroad, using the languages he has mastered, Spanish, Portuguese and French. “Travel changes your perspective and how you see the world,” he said. Partly because of this kind of perspective, the school, he says, “continues to draw very rROM Where I Sit Anita Sherman athan Lynn talked to the group about the serious responsibility that comes with sitting behind the wheel. An empty chair sat center stage beneath us on the chamber floor. “If any young person dozes off", this chair is for vou,” said Payne as he looked for any high quality students from families for whom education is important and buy into the idea that studies (and not sports, for instance) come first.” He feels lucky to have worked in Rappahannock, he says. “This is a beautiful setting for a school. It is clean and healthy and allows students to focus on their studies without distractions.” George K. E. Williams, who was Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Wakefield for five of Vargo’s eight years and stepped down this month, fondly recalled Vargo as “a Pied Piper type of person, a very soft man with an endearing character prospective drowsy head. Occasionally. Payne would finger a stack of plastic cards — the drivers licenses that he would eventually distribute to the assembled parents to give to their teens when they deemed appropriate. In Virginia that’s how it works. The permanent licenses go to the parents, who will determine when their son or daughter is ready to be awarded the coveted card. All the teens in the room had mastered the Virginia’s Driver Manual and received a learner's permit, passed a driver instruction class in school, and who made no distinction between upper- and lowerschool students and brought some very creative methods of education to Wakefield. He is a man I respected, and the previous chairman respected, who voiced opinions without hurting people’s feelings. I enjoyed Michael because he never judged people.” As headmaster, Vargo is being replaced by Kathy Grove, who retired as Assistant Superintendent for Instruction with the Arlington County School District. She begins at Wakefield this summer. She will be welcomed for her strong academic credentials, said 50% OFF CUSTOM DRAPERIES & TOP TREATMENTS FROM OUR DESIGNER’S CHOICE COLLECTION • Quality Guaranteed • Any Size Window • Free in-Home Consultation 800-543-5436 • 50 Years in the Custom Window Treatment Business titopkiiKMaMric.

Part of the mandatory paperwork is a signed statement that the prospective driver has spent at least 40 hours driving with an adult. The teen must also pass a final road test (this may take several tries) before they receive their temporary license. Technically, these documents say the holders are ready to drive a several thousand pound mechanical animal that can travel at very high speeds. Are they really ready? Payne and Lynn stressed over and over again that at this pivotal stage in a young person’s life, it is a time for parents to be parents. These young adults are now dealing with something far more deadly than a two-wheeler. Payne stressed that parents have to establish ground rules — for the child’s sake and for the sake of others. There’s a reason that insurance rates for young drivers are so high. Statistically, they are involved in a higher percentage of accidents and, often, fatalities. Most of these accidents occur because of inexperience. It takes time to become a good and responsible driver. While listening to several grim recountings of a Fauquier youth who was burned in a crash and his painful, slow recovery, and the tragic death of a younger brother in Rappahannock at the hands of his older brother who was driving that night, I looked around at these young people and wondered if any of it was sinking in. At the end of the ceremony there were lots of smiles from eager young people chomping at the bit to get their hands on the car keys. After a moment, I took a deep breath, handed Douglas his license and the keys and let him drive us home.
