Rappahannock News, June 17, 2004

Jt** Rappahannock County's Family Newspaper Since 1877 126th Year... No. 25 Phone (540)675-3338 THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 2004 www.timescommunity.com 50 cents ZAP: Contractors for the Virginia Department of Transportation spot' spray herbicides to kill off the pesky thistle in the median of Route 211. The spraying has raised concerns among county residents. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Malcolm MacPherson A prickly issue: Spraying thistle By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer The wily thistle has become a hot topic of conversation ever since VDPT started a campaign two weeks ago to spray it away from the median of Route 211 in Rappahannock County. The presence of the spraying trucks on Route 211 gave rise to alarming rumors, some of which were on the county’s email chat room, Rappnet. One county resident claimed, “They’re blasting every guard rail section along 211. They just blast everything.” And another rumor was that VDOT was spraying poi sons that would be the end of life as we know it. According to a VDOT official, the public can be assured that the weed-killing chemicals that the Virginia Department of Transportation is spraying on the median of Route 211 are meant to help farmers and adjacent landowners, and not to despoil the environment. “By eradicating these weeds, we are trying to be good neighbors,” said Bill Watson, VDOT’s Roadside Division Manager for the Culpeper District. He manages vegetation on the state’s rights of way in nine counties including See THISTLE, Page A8 THE CULPRIT: Standing tall, the thistle, a lovely sight to some horticulturists' eyes, is being eradicated by VDOT’s herbicides on Route 211. Film director putting roots in Rappahannock Hollywood’s Ron Maxwell has passion for preservation Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer For a “come here,” Hollywood director and screenwriter, Ron F. Maxwell, has brought to Rappahannock County, his home for only 18 months, a passion and a commitment to preserve the beauty and ambience of his adopted home. Indeed, Maxwell, 57, is using Rappahannock for settings this summer for a new 20-minute film he has written and is directing, “Young George Washington,” for the Mt. Vernon Ladies’ Association to be shown to Mt. Vernon visitors in a new semi-underground theater complex on the grounds of Washington’s birthplace. The Rappahannock locations, he saj^s, suit his cinematic needs for being nearly identical to those that his subject took for granted in his own time. “We can do the whole thing in Rappahannock,” he told a recent visitor to his home off Ben Venue Road near Flint Hill. “Look out the window,” he suggested. “We live in a 1740 colonial house here. There are locations all over here with (period) structures and the same wilderness as Washington knew. We don’t have to leave here.” What drew Maxwell to this area, also had to do with history. It abounds here, and he has enjoyed a love affair with history since his childhood in Clifton, N. J., when his father took Maxwell and his siblings to American Revolutionary War historical sites. “American history was vivid to me at an early age,” he said.

Mentoring program in Rappahannock growing By Carol Lucking Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock community joined with the nation in celebrating mentoiing and the 100th birthday of the Big Brother/ Big Sister Program by participating in Rappahannock’s D.A.R.E. Day event at the county elementary school last Friday. An annual tradition, Rappahannock’s Starfish Mentoring Program offered face painting at D.A.R.E. Day which was enthusiastically received and served to brighten up everyone’s face. The week of June 15 has been earmarked as a 100-year birthday celebration of mentoring's first organization, Big Brothers-Big Sisters. This year the U S. Department of Education is offering 195 grants totaling $30 million to programs around the country so that more communities can allow- their children to benefit from mentoring programs. In 2001, Rappahannock’s grassroots mentoring program was taken under the wing of Headwaters, a local non-profit public education foundation. Through its financial support Starfish has been able to thrive and glow over the last several years into a professional, well organized and effectively managed program. Carol Lucking serves as the Program Coordinator and works in conjunction with a volunteer Executive Committee of 10 dedicated members who have a blend of expertise that more than satisfies the needs of overseeing this kind of program. Executive committee Susan Jones serves as chairperson, with Helen Williams ready to take over in the fall. Also on the committee are Lois Manookian, Mary O'Meara, Ellen Adams, Bette Mahoney and Patty Metcalf. Three new executive committee members are involved in the on-going task of supervising the 29 pairs of mentors and the children with whom they are matched. Linda Dietel. Joyce Abell and Ellen Mustoe joined Starfish last month. Dietel brings her experience of serving as a volunteer board member with organizations that have included Headwaters, Child Care & Learning Center and Lord Fairfax Community College. She is a grandmother to 11 young people ranging in age from 18 months to 23 years. Mustoe recently retired from the Juvenile Justice System as a Probation Officer and will shift her energies, through Starfish, to support the community’s efforts to redirect children to more constructive activities other than the court system. Mrs. Abell is widely known as a thespian through her work on the board of Ki Theater. She is also a retired educator and has her Masters of Social Work. This year Starfish began hosting group events for the mentors and mentees to enjoy games, activities and potluck picnics together. The first gathering was a Thanksgiving event last fall at Mt.

Spring event New mentor Sam Fox hosted this springs event at his cattle farm on April 18. Fifty people attended with youth and adults participating in a scavenger hunt on the “mill race trail”, a trust walk, games with volunteer Nol Putnam, and a barbecue. Nineteen children in the program attended the day’s festivities. Mentoring programs around the nation continue to receive increased attention because the results have proven throughout the 100 years that Big Brother/Big Sister has existed, that children who have significant adults in their lives. in addition to their parents, improve their chances of being successful, well balanced adults. Starfish offers Rappahannock’s youth an opportunity to be involved in a one on one relationship with a caring adult who has the time and interest to spend two to three hours a week with a youth, with the emphasis on being a trusted friend, someone to talk to who accepts them for who they are. Mentors can open new windows into helping youth create a picture of what they want to be in the future. They can offer tutoring, if that is requested. But most of all a mentor can be a fun person to do things with on a regular basis. Mentors are ordinary adults who have expressed a desire to enjoy a youth for at least one year so that there is sufficient time for the relationship to develop. Most frequently these relationships continue on through the high school years. Starfish is proud to graduate its first youth this year. She has grown through the program over several years and will attend college in the fall. The Starfish program provides a wealth of resources to assist mentors in their task. Initial training is required of all mentors, with three additional annual training programs offered a year. All mentors go through criminal background checks to assure that the mentors are indeed safe with children. Further information may be found on a shelf in the library which contains reading materials about mentoring. The monthly newsletter keeps mentors up to date on developments within the program and suggestions for handling situations. The quarterly community newsletter keeps interested Rappa hannock residents abreast of Starfish’s growth and activities. Lucking attended the Fifth Annual Mentoring Conference in San Francisco April 19 that brought forth new ideas to expand the Starfish program. As Starfish continues to grow, there is a .continuing need for more enthusiastic adults who enjoy spending time with children to become involved with mentoring. Already the number of pairs increased from 19 to 29 in just the past year. “Mentoring is a wonderful way for a youth to feel special and allows another adult who is not a parent into their fives to bounce off ideas. As adolescents go through ‘firiding themselves,’ statistics show that it is not their parents that they will most likely be confiding in,” said Lucking.

RIDING HIGH: The Bucket Brigade’ monster truck owned by John Van Zandt gives Kevin Settle, an eighth grader, a ride. Settle loves monster trucks, and looks forward each year to D.A.R.E. Day to see them. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jan Clatterbuck HEROES ON PATROL: A D A R E. Day attraction was a 2001 Ford Crown Victoria painted with American flags, the New York skyline and 72 stars surrounding a large eagle on the hood. In each star is a name of a fallen police officer from 9/11. The car is a tribute to those officers. DA.R.E. Field Day is one to remember By Jan Clatterbuck Special to the Rappahannock News Some 1,000 students, 60 exhibitors, parents and volunteers came to the ninth annual D.A.R.E. Field Day activities on June 11 to promote the Drug Abuse Resistance Education DAR.E. Day at the Rappahannock County Elementary School includes traditional field day events as well as spectacular demonstrations. One of the highlights was a “monster truck” life-saving demonstration. A truck crushed a car by rolling over it. Volunteer firemen ripped off the car's roof with “jaws of life.” EMS students resuscitated the dummy from the crushed car and a helicopter lifted off with the “body” aboard. At the end of the monster truck demo, someone asked Capt. Jeff Brown of the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office, who is the organizer of the event, how he was going to top this one next year. Capt. Brown said he did not know yet, but was working on it.

Continued under-funding of Virginia’s public universities begs for a solution After several years struggling with the Virginia General Assembly over funding issues, three state-supported universities are seeking a new partnership. Called the “Commonwealth Chartered Universities and Colleges Act,” the proposed legislation — which is still in its formative state — would create a process for chartering state-assisted public universities and colleges. The ultimate goal is to reduce pressure on the state budget — which has seen significant decreases in the amount of support for higher education in recent years — and ensure the quality of higher education in the state. Currently involved in this effort are the University of Virginia, Virginia Tech and William & Mary; 10 more state-supported colleges and universities may consider seeking charter status in the future. Under the current model, state funding would be reduced from traditional levels, and in return, the universities would no longer be subject to certain state regulations regarding personnel, procurement and capital projects. Chartered universities would still remain public institutions, governed by the boards appointed by the governor and confirmed by the General Assembly. Performance reports, audits and the commitment to provide financial aid to needy students would continue as before. To many, this is a logical, and necessary step. The institutions have been hard at work over the past decade, increasing their endowments, building alumni support (UVA alone received over $262 million last year from alumni and friends), and decentralizing local authority and pushing greater flexibility. And the reasons for doing so are clear, and becoming even clearer. Over the 2002-04 biennial budget cycle, taxpayer support for higher education has been cut $617 million. “ In the case of UVA this cutback in real dollars totalled $272 million for the biennium. This exemplifies the continuing trend, with the percentage of the university’s total annual budget supplied by the state dropping from about 27 percent in the 1990s (pre-Jim Gilmore) to only 8.1 percent last year. For the first time, incomefrom endowments at UVA. (at 8.3 percent of the budget) exceeded what was given by the state. It is predicted that there will be 61,000 additional students in Virginia by 2010, and in the face of continued reduced state funding, public universities and colleges must have more say in how they operate, and how they wish to allocate funding. Otherwise, they are at great risk. We will watch this summer as the work to write the legislation that will create charter universities and college continues. It is a good idea whose time has come, and we hope the General Assembly will approve it when it hopefully comes to a vote next year. ,Mp% For-me GRApaAT/^£ 6F2004... Letters ‘High octane motorcycles zip through our beautiful county’ Well, it’s that time of year again—the time when Rappahannock County turns into a motor speedway, as the parade of high octane motorcycles zip through our beautiful county. I live on Route 211 in Amissville and it is common, on any given weekend to see dozens of motorcycles pass by our house, some traveling easily in excess of 100 miles per hour. As the accident and casualty rates continue to increase the cyclists must think it can’t happen to them. As the bikers make their way to Skyline Drive I wonder if it dawns on them they may not be making the return trip. Do they think about the consequences as they accelerate through the dangerous curves? Do they consider the family in the van they just maneuvered around? Do they take into consideration the hikers who are trying to enjoy the natural beauty of the park? Or the wildlife they are frightening with their tightly wound engines? We often read of a fatality, like the one that occurred on Thornton Gap over Memorial Day weekend and was reported in the June 3 Rappahannock News. We use the word victim to describe the deceased. But the real victim was the driver of the van the motorcycle slammed into as he crossed the double yellow line. That person has to live with that memory, see the shielded face just before impact and hear in her darkest memories the sound of the rider as her van runs over him. And what about our dedicated rescue workers and police officers? How soon will they forget the sight and smells of the accident scene? Even though they are trained to deal with such grisly affairs it still affects them. The rider of that motorcycle was not a victim but the perpetrator of a brutal crime that will affect many for the rest of their lives. I wonder if he considered that as he pulled on his throttle and leaned into that curve. I don’t have a solution for the senseless speeding and reckless driving that is becoming a nuisance for all of us. Our police force is stretched thin enough, our rescue personnel have better things to do than respond to a reckless driving fatality on a Sunday afternoon. But if reading this makes just one motorcyclist slow down, 111 take it. This is not directed to the thousands of responsible and mature riders that come to our county to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but for those who choose to disrespect the law, nature, and the citizens who reluctantly share the roads with them. Mark Raiford Amissville Trinity Church Garden Guild expresses gratitude The Trinity Church Garden Guild wishes to thank all those who participated in making our Third Annual “Great Spring Garden Party” such a super success. We are particularly pleased that our guests came from throughout the community and beyond. It is our hope to expand this event into an annual celebration of spring in Rappahannock and the county’s response to our invitations this year marks a grand step in that direction. Our first thanks goes to Mary Ann Kuhn for hosting our party at the Middleton Inn. Her help and generosity were invaluable. The Garden Guild members provide and pay for the bulk of the food and drink offered, but this year we also turned to Rappahannock County High School Culinary Institute founder Mary Arthur and her stellar students to help out. Many thanks to them for their decorative and delicious work. For the first time this year we added a small raffle of rare and decorative plants to the festivities. For beautiful specimens of both Japanese maples and deciduous shrubs we are indebted to Henry and Franrie Eastwood of Eastwood Japanese Maples Nursery and to Basil and Donna Brune of Persimmon Spring Farm. Thank you for all your successful efforts to beautify our community. Katherine Stark Bull President, Trinity Church Garden Guild President Bush lies about serious matters’ I am quite astounded by current letters to the Rappahannock News and other media outlets that spend so much, time and energy on the lies told by President Clinton. (I certainly agree that Clinton told lies.) What astounds me is that the authors of these letters seem unable to notice that President Bush also tells lies. Moreover, they apparently don’t see that Clinton’s lies were mostly/all about private, personal activities and moral lapses — while Bush lies about serious matters of vital national and international consequence: reasons to invade other countries, “mission accomplished,” budget and deficit realities, the policy influence of the energy industry, air quality and so on (and on and on). Perhaps all U. S. presidents tell lies. President Bush tells the most troubling lies since Nixon. But the Bush lies are more serious than Nixon’s. Bob Dennis Flint Hill Big thanks from rodeo teen I would like to thank Mr. MacPherson for writing the article about me and the rodeo in the June 10 edition of the Rappahannock News. It was fantastic! I would also like to add some special thank yous. I think the most impor tant thank you would have to go to my stepfather, Bob Petty. Bob was the one who found out about the Virginia High School Rodeo Association and got me involved. Without Bob I wouldn’t be rodeoing. So, thanks Bob. Thanks for paying for me to attend and compete in the rodeos. Next I would like to thank my Mom and Dad — they’re the ones who coached me and helped me though tough times. Although my Dad has never attended one of my rodeos, he did attend all of my gymkhanas and Western/English pleasure shows. Once again, I would just like to say thanks for writing such a great article. • Maeghan Boucher Rodeo Competitor Sperryville Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO JUNE 18, 1964 Residents of Washington, Virginia, who will be driving to the New York World’s Fair this « summer have been invited to visit their sister city in the State of Pennsylvania. Bartley P. Osborne, mayor of Washington, Pa., has issued an official proclamation which extends an open invitation to residents of this area.

Opinion The best way to commemorate Dad’s life’ Our family arrived in Rappahannock County in 1963. Forty-one years ago, before the interstate highways were built, we drove for hours into the country, following our family friend, a Commander Winfield, who was a real estate broker from Fairfax. We arrived in Castleton to see the sun setting over the Blue Ridge. We thought the bromesedge waving in the fields was beautiful. We thought the four-room house, no phone, no running water, no electricity was wonderful. Being a little more practical, Commander Winfield pointed out that we didn’t know anything about farming. Well, to shorten the tale, it took him about four months to let us acquire the land. He explained that JT Woodward could, would, and should run cattle on it for us, since we were definitely incapable but we'd have to get rid of the broom sedge. The lime, fertilizer, and orchard grass seed which was needed to restore the place cost $2,000 and JT and his 80 or So of cattle did the rest. They made it a farm. Because we thought the The Forum Kevin I. Young, M.D. county the most beautiful anywhere, we acquired more contiguous land. We persuaded city friends to visit. We built a minimal maintenance five-bedroom house—one with running water and electricity, and for better or worse, a phone. The family moved out here permanently. Mom and Dad sent my younger brother and sister to the school here. Running the farm became the focus of our family life, and we loved evei y minute of the 25 years we owned and more or less operated it. Unfortunately, children do grow up and leave home, and when we did, and when our reliable neighbor JT “retired” due to heart problems, Mom and Dad were left with a looming labor problem. They tried to recruit help, but after showing 291 acres and the equipment available, the usual answer was, “You must be kidding.” To shorten the tale again, by 1980, Mom and Dad found that the most realistic alter gr-' CRAFTSMAN “ ilfiHK^. r it as Photo courtesy Young family IN HIS GARDEN: Bill Young, who suffered.a massive stroke in his garden'in 1995 and multiple ones after that, worked hard over the next eight and a half years to graduate from his wheelchair to a lawn tractor. native was to sell the farm and move to town and so the house here in Little Washington was purchased and lovingly renovated in 1987. - But farming was in the family’s blood by then. Here in town, Dad became involved in floriculture, then horticulture. He was doing what he loved, transplanting primroses, on June 10, 1995, when he suffered a massive stroke. Over the next eight and half years,. Dad had multiple strokes. He worked hard to graduate from his wheelchair to a lawn tractor. He changed his work from mental health to the computer lab at the high school, from doing counseling to doing mentoring. Dad felt very positive about the time he spent at Rappahannock County High School. I do not know what the students got out of it, but 1 do know what Dad got out of it. He continued to feel useful through the things that he tried to pass on to students. Dad had great hopes for the students he worked with here. He continued to feel involved. He also felt alive by working in the garden, by sharing his plants and his flowers. He felt at home by surrounding himself with the flowers and sunsets and mountains and people and friends. Those are the things that got him up in the morning and in good spirits. The best way to commemorate Dad’s life would be to restore the agricultural curriculum at the high school level. Education in agriculture suffered with the closing of the Piedmont Technical and Vocational School in Madison. Scholarships designed to promote secondary education in agriculture suffered when the winners left those pursuits later in their academic careers to seek other income producing endeavors, i.e., computers, business and professional goals. But now we have come full circle. There is nothing mankind can do without sustainable agriculture. As Rappahannock County High School seeks to establish an agriculture curriculum, our family urges you to join us in remembering my father in establishing a fund for the agricultural program at the school. What could be a more appropriate way to celebrate my Dad’s life than by helping the young people of this county to feel successful and fulfilled staying in the field of agriculture9 And so my mother, and our family, are requesting you to support this program in Dad’s memory. We will match all contributions for a year. They may be made c/o Headwaters Endowment for the Bill Young Memorial Fund. We hope lor the program’s success in keeping Rappahannock County green. RCHS drama students’ performances grip audience By Rob Sherwood Special to the Rappahannock News Five months ago, after its well received “A Christmas Carol,” the Rappahannock County High School Drama Department once again challenged itself to a test of its dramatic skills by choosing as its spring production Arthur Miller’s compelling American classic, “The Crucible.” This play explores the mass hysteria that erupted in the town of Salem, Mass., in 1692. Over the course of six months, two, then 10, then dozens, and finally hundreds were accused of witchcraft. Many were put to death. This thematically packed drama—played by a cast of 20 RCHS students—gripped audiences at both performances May 21 and 22. As much as the students themselves insisted in the choice of the play, they were insistent, too, in the remarks at the end of each performance, that they could not have done it without the creative spirit and many talents of their director, Jean Elizabeth. Elizabeth, in turn, was effusive in her praise of the help she received from senior Julia Baumgardner, who agreed to work as a student director of the play in the beginning, but was promoted to co-director because of the scale of her contributions. The eight seniors in the cast succeeded in the largest roles. As John Proctor, Tyler Williams, climaxing a memorable dramat Review ic career at RCHS, kept edging his character to the boiling point of righteous fury throughout the evening. His fists kept lashing out in a vain attempt to keep his inner torment—and his inquisitors—at bay. Julia Baumgardner shined as John’s silently suffering godfearing wife Elizabeth who— when accused of witchcraft— denies her belief in it. Her support for her husband, similarly accused, is emotionally wrenching (and brought tears to this reviewer’s eyes). Senior Ruth Ann Oyster imbues the pivotal role of Abigail Williams, the young woman at the center of the accusations, with the right mix of calculated command, occult showmanship, and yearning for attention. We soon learn that it is hard to believe anything Abigail says, especially her professions of love for the married John Proctor. Melanie Ibrrance has capped her fine high school dramatic career with the role of Mary Warren, John Proctor’s current housekeeper and a member of Abigail’s group of self-appointed witches. Her occult showdown with Abigail in the play’s climactic act was a tour de force both nights. First time acting Two seniors—who have never acted before—took on hard roles and delivered fine performances. Glen Swain, played the grand inquisitor sent to Salem to rfestore order, Deputy Governor Danforth. Dressed in a long black coat and a long white wig, Swain provides a suitable air of menace as Danforth, uttering his sardonic remarks with a sneering upper class accent. Chris Ehrhart portrayed Reverend Parris, the unpopular minister who was more concerned about his income and having golden candlesticks adorn his altar, than in ministering to his congregation. The final seniors in this talented cast, include Leslie Taubenberger and Lara Kreyling. Taubenberger was double cast as the concerned Mrs. Ann Putnam and astute Mr. Cheevers - and played each role with finesse. Kreyling made her dramatic debut as one of the girls that become hysterical. Devin Sherwood, a ninth grader, handles the complex character change of Reverend Hale, who has also been sent to root out the Devil in Salem, with skill. Devin Day, as Rebecca Nurse, provides the moral counterweight to all those who would confess and condemn others to save themselves. In a performance at once grave and understated, she steadfastly refuses to confess. lb allude to Shakespeare, the play is the thing wherein well catch the conscience of a community, and this splendid cast of actors surely did that.

Thistle From Page A1 Rappahannock. In particular, VDOT and its independent contractors, who actually do the spraying, are fighting the hardy thistle (Onopordum acanthium), which Watson describes without poesy as “a noxious weed for its destructive invasiveness which is detrimental to adjoining agriculture.” Apparently, according to VDOT, livestock will not eat the prickly plant, but thistles in a pasture will crowd out all other vegetation, including turf, spreading “like wildfire,” said Watson. With their heads of white, yellow’, pink, or purple flowers, the thistle presents a lovely sight to some horticulturists’ eyes. While it is the enduring symbol of the Scottish people’s famous ability to endure, the thistle is not to everybody’s taste, including horses and cows. “You can have a nice pasture but once thistles get in, livestock won’t go there,” Watson adds. June is the end of the thistle’s flowering season, when the plant starts going to seed. It is just the time for VDOT’s contractors to hook up their sprayers and blast the parent plants before the wind can carry the seeds to fields and meadows adjoining the state roads. “There are so many thistles that we can’t get all of them, but we try,” said Watson, who is an authority on noxious weeds and plants. Chemicals used VDOT deploys a chemical combination of 'Garlon-3A' and Vanquish, which are broad leaf weed killers that do not hurt turf, according to Watson, who describes VDOT’s thistle killing potion as “fairly benign,” comparing it in an apothecary’s term to an “over-the-counter drug,” while a stronger weed killer would be a “prescription drug.” This thistle solution, Watson said, “contains the EPA’s lowest level of warning of any (weed killer).” It works through the thistle to its roots and kills quickly—in days, Watson says.

Bill Watson VDOT Agriculture Department’s acting Office Manager of the Office of Pesticide Services and the Director of the Division of Consumer Protection. He says that the EPA lists three levels of toxicity for its pesticides, “CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and for the most toxic, “DANGEROUS.” Vanquish is listed as “CAUTION,” in toxicity category 3-4, set by the EPA. Garlon-3A, however, is in the top category, “DANGEROUS,” according to Lawson. “Its eye-irritant capacity is significant,” he said. “That in itself is no reason for alarm. If it is used properly, it should be no problem,” and is commonly used, he said, for right-of-way pest control. But Watson further explains that VDOT’s contractors are spraying a one percent solution—10 gallons of herbicides per 1,000 gallons of water. “We get a percentage that will be at the minimum to knock out the weed,” he said. He added the thistle grows four to five feet tall and two feet around. “You have to cover the plant in its entirety,” he said. Furthermore, the men with the sprayers have to shoot from a distance of several feet, from the truck to the median, to reach the thistles. “It is not cost efficient to walk up to every thistle,” Watson said. The contractors doing the spraying for VDOT work under specific guidelines, says Watson. They are supposed to “spot spray,” using nozzles at the ends of hoses. The spraying devices employ “Poly Control,” Watson says, a process that makes the drops of the solution heavier and less likely to drift through the air to adjoining properties. Under VDOT’s regulations, the contractors must shut down their spraying operations if the wind picks up above 10 m.p.h They are also instructed to shut down during periods of rain. Not the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) nor the Region 3 Office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, nor the Piedmont Environmental Council has oversight of the spraying, unless pollution results, when the DEQ will step in, officials said. VDOT says that it sprays with great care and concern. For example, Watson said, VDOT marks vineyards along the roadsides on maps for the contractors, who are instructed to stop spraying a quarter of a mile in each direction from the vineyard “on the chance that the chemicals might drift,” said Watson. Such is Watson’s concern for the environment he controls, he makes surprise visits to the sprayers two to three times a week to insure that they are in compliance. “If they are not doing the job right, we would see evidence of a problem, and there is no problem,” said Watson. He assures that VDOT has not had “any disasters, no off-target spraying, no calls from people with complaints.” Surprise visit When the Rappahannock News made a “surprise visit” last week on Route 211 where a contractor was spraying in the median, a workman, standing knee deep in weeds with a hose in his hand that was attached to a large white tank on a truck, was hardly “spot spraying” the thistles, unless the whole mass of vegetation in the divider was thistles, a suggestion which seemed improbable. It seemed to be an instance of good intentions gone bananas, as if the contractor and the man with the nozzle were being paid according to the volume of chemicals sprayed, as opposed to the numbers of thistles that were being eradicated. This would not necessarily be a problem if not for the presence in the medians of wild flowers, some of which are basically weeds, too, and will be killed along with the thistles if the spraying turns indiscriminate. “It would take a lot of 'em out,” said Watson, if the spraying went overboard. The thistle-spraying work will come to a close in “another week,” said Watson. 5:30 pm Friday, June 18, at the gallery, Rt. 211, Amissville, VA Here's a general auction more interesting than most - whether you're a shop owner, collector, or looking for home furnishings, you'll find something of use!

Girls’ Softball team wins Bull Run championship By Joe Lisbon Special to the Rappahannock News For the third consecutive year the Rappahannock. County High School Panthers have won the Bull Run District J.V. Girls’ Softball Championship. This year the Panthers defeated the Strasburg Rams 6-2 at Strasburg on May 27. The game pitted the top two teams in the Bull Run District in a winner take all play-off. Strasburg finished the regular season, one game ahead of the Panthers, with a 9-1 record. Ram’s coach Bruce Hall, always known as a class act, decided to call it a career after the championship game. Jessica Lee led off the second inning with a walk and came around to score to give the Panthers the early 1-0 lead. JV Girls’ Softball Team ends season with 16-2 record By Lucy Fogle Special to the Rappahannock News This year’s JV girls’ softball team consisted of 11 players and was coached by Joe Lisbon. The team ended the season with an overall record of 16-2. That is, 7-0 non-District and 9-2 Bull Run District. The team’s season began with a win over Millwood in a See SOFTBALL, Page A10 Inspiring, TlwugfiU by Randy Minter FINAL CONSIDERATIONS At least one national survey indicates that patients facing their last days of life are most concerned about being free of pain. Interestingly enough, this physical consideration aside, terminal patients placed “ being at peace with God” during their final days nearly as high on their priority list. Obviously, then, spiritual and emotional issues are on an equal footing with medical care in the minds ot many patients. Aside trom freedom from pain, those surveyed agreed on a number of other issues, including clear communications about treatment choices, spending time with family, being treated as a whole person, and having a sense ot closure or completion as life draws to . an end. These considerations hold meaning for everyone concerned. When a loved one dies after a long illness, relief is a common feeling as well as guilt tor having that relief. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave. Warrenton, We all wish for our loved ones to be pain-free and to minimize their suffering. Finding the right support is key. For a tour, call 347-3431. Bright View Cemetery, just outside Warrenton, offers monuments and memorials for all cemeteries. "The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.” Harriet Beecher Stowe Strasburg came right back in the bottom of the inning to tie the score 1-1 on a triple by Smith and a RBI single by Kronk. The Panthers took the lead for good in the fourth when Ashleigh Lamma was driven in from second on Breanna Payne’s second hit of the game. Noel Johns blasted a triple to deep right center to start the fifth. Jessica Lee drove Johns in with a grounder to short to make the score 3-1 Rappahannock. Rappahannock put the game away in the top of the sixth with two more runs. Ashleigh Lamma led off the inning with a gapper and ended up on second with a double. Ashley Vest followed with a single while Lamma held at third. Breanna Payne lashed a 1-1 fastball into the gap in right center to drive in Lamma and Vest. The double was Payne’s third hit of the game. The Panthers scored another insurance run in the top of the seventh when Jessica Lee drilled a double down the left field line and Ashleigh Lamma drove in Lee with a double of her own to up the score 6-1 Panthers.

Maxwell From Page A1 This fascination with history led Maxwell later in life to the Civil War, when he read Michael Shaara’s book “Killer Angels.” “That book changed my life,” he said. Civil War films He started a Civil War film trilogy with the 1993-released “Gettysburg” (based on “Killer Angels”), produced by Tbd Turner Pictures and New Line Pictures and “Gods & Generals” (based on a book by Jeff Shaara, Michael’s son), released in February, 2003, produced by Warner Bros, with Tbd Turner as executive producer. The third part of the trilogy will be “Last Full Measure,” also by Shaara and produced by Turner, with no production or release date. Maxwell has plans for other films, including one about Joan of Arc, but at his age, he seems resigned about his future interests, which will center on his home and this region, and the history that was created here. He is interested in preservation, but he disdains— “It makes my blood boil”—-the comments that only “elites” work to preserve the environment and historical sites. “I’m from a working-class background,” he argues. “I have my acreage, and I want to protect it. As a boy, we didn't live in the countryside, but we could get to it in minutes. “If my association with Hollywood can be used for the good, I’m ready to do that,” he said.

Maxwell has already flown the conservationist colors, speaking last week at a protest in Culpeper County of a proposed block development of an 18-acre parcel on the Brandy Station battlefield, and was part of an appeal filed by the Brandy Station Foundation, questioning the legitimacy of a 1989 decision to zone the land for residential use. The construction is planned for eight houses being built by Golden Oaks construction. “I got more emotional than I should have,” Maxwell says, though claiming that real emotions are needed to save the land and historical sites like Brandy Station. He is the first to admit that he’s a late comer to preservatioi in the county. “People have beei fighting this fight here for year and years,” he said. “I am in awi of them. I would only like to d< what 1 can in small ways h help. “Where I grew up, there wa a lot of green, like w here we ar right now (in Rappahannoc] County).

Back from Europe in 1971, ; Maxwell worked in the motion picture industry first in New 5 York at the PBS station, NET? 13, making documentaries and adapting an Albert Camus short f story and winning an Emmy nomination for best direction for 1 “Verna: USO Girl,” based on a Paul Gallico short story which got the attention of Hollywood producers, who asked him to direct “Little Darlings” for Para/ mount, with Tatum O’Neal and Matt Dillon. At that juncture, he became, as they say in Hollywood, “bicoastal,” meaning he lived simultaneously in New York and in the Los Angeles area. Maxwell is a comfortable looking man with dark hair and a relaxed, thoughtful mien. He wears shorts with cargo pockets and fishing shirts, in keeping with his country status. He loves the outdoor life, hiking and chopping wood, and he clearly appreciates the open spaces for his three pet West Highland terriers. He had been looking for a place to five in France and in the counties around and including Rappahannock, from Loudoun in the north to Orange in the south. But after 9/11, he said, “It was impractical living abroad. Both France and Rappahannock are equally beautiful, but this was more sensible.” And he settled on Rappahannock. The roots he is putting down include the residence in Rappahannock County of both his children, Olivia, 32, a songwriter and singer who lives in Little Washington, and his son, Jonathan, 30, a bartender at Griffin Inn in Flint Hill. For a place to live, he has bought a property on the top of Fogg Mountain, near Flint Hill.. The renovation of the house will result in a single-story 7,800square-foot home with a swimming pool and grape arbor looking north with a clear view into Culpeper County and far beyond. It should be completed in six weeks. The interior of the house, with broad open views north and south, contains a Great Room, a large library with floorto-ceiling bookshelves, a film “screening” room, wine cellar, a gym with a ballerina’s mirrored waft and barre, and a room with a tub and sink in which to wash his three pet terriers, all on 75 secluded acres of wooded land. “This is a very special part of the world,” he said. “And part of that is the people, who have a vivid sense of history.

The JV Panthers completed in four other games throughout the month of March. In one game, Crystal Heflin made seven strikeouts, and in another, she and Breanna Payne had two hits apiece. According to Coach Lisbon, “Noel Johns scattered eight hits in picking up the win for the panthers,” in the March 25 game against Page. In a separate game, Jessica Lee, Nicole ■Brown, and Elvira Yanez each had two hits. In the month of April, the JV Panthers had seven games. In the first one, Crystal Heflin had two hits and struck out 10 opponents. In another, Meagan Smith, Noel Johns, Jessica Lee and Breanna Payne had three hits apiece. In a rather eventful game, Nicole Brown had two hits, one of which was a double, Jessica Lee added two hits and scored three runs, and on another night, Paula Raney had three hits while Nicole Brown had two doubles. The team played in five games in May. One night, Crystal Heflin had 12 strikeouts and allowed only one hit. She also made two hits and three runs. The May 14 game against Madison proved to be an exciting one. Noel Johns had three hits and scored three times, while Ashleigh Lamma had two hits and Kin Hutcheson went 1 for 2. In a different game, both Meagan Smith and Ashley Vest had two hits. The team finished the season with a win over George Mason, in which Nicole Brown and Crystal Heflin had three hits apiece. They beat the Strasburg Rams, 6-2, on May 27.

Rappahannock News • Neighbors/B2 • Real Estate/B2 • Classifieds/B5-B8 Section B June 17, 2004 www.timescommunity.com Students give stamp of approval for ‘old-fashioned’ mail By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer To a certain generation, licking a postage stamp and sticking it on an envelope is old hat. But for some eighth graders in Rappahannock, if it isn’t email, it just isn’t mail. Or wasn’t, until a teacher with a lilting accent appeared in their midst with a new old idea. Haf Daves, 27, an attractive blonde and energetic middle-school teacher in Rappahannock on a Visiting International Faculty Exchange Program from Denbigh, North Wales via Nottingham, England, came to ask the whole Rappahannock eighth grade, 76 students in all, to write personal letters with pencils and pens, then put them in envelopes and send them off to Great Britain. To some of the youngsters, Daves’ request seemed so quaint, it might actually be fun. The purpose, however, was serious and even a little deceptive. Daves wants her students to write. She feels strongly that writing “with no purpose”—dull exercises on dull subjects—has the effect of turning off children to writing, and thus, she gives them clever exercises, like writing letters to their counterparts in England, and getting letters back. “They can relate,” she says, “and rather than writing a letter and throwing it in a trash can, they are writing to real kids their own age.” But first, let’s return to the stamps. “Stamps?” asked Brittany Buchholz, as pert as any 13-year-old Rappahannock News Staff Photo'Malcolm MacPherson LETTER GIRLS: Rappahannock County eighth grade students Brittany Buchholz, left, and Stacy McPeak, right, go over letters they have written to their pen pals in England with their Language Arts teacher, Haf Daves, center, who is on an exchange program from Nottingham. girl can possibly hope to be. She crinkled her brow, as if searching for a word as ancient as Beowulf. “Postage?” someone asked. “That’s it!” She said it as if she had thought of it herself. This wad the first letter Joseph Ordile, 14, had written and mailed with a stamp. He did not seem impressed, but something about the whole idea made him mysteriously want to laugh, and suppress his glee with great fits of deep concentration.

She gives them clever exercises, like writing letters to their counterparts in England, and getting letters back. their class picture in among the letters to the English equivalent of eighth grade at the Henry Mellish Comprehensive school in Nottingham City, England, where Daves taught for two years. Nottingham is best known for the myth of Robin Hood and the fame of its hometown writer, D.H. Lawrence (“Lady Chatterley’s Lover”). Mellish Comprehensive is in the inner city and, says Daves, “quite a bit different from Rappahannock, with social and economic problems that don’t exist here.” As such, the children are “not just writing to a different country, but also to a different life.” When the Mellish students See LETTERS, Page B2 Rex Slack honored Photo courtesy of Robin Purnell Rappahannock artists take in London By Malcolm MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rex Slack, an artist from Little Washington and recipient of the prestigious invitation to exhibit his painting “Backroads” in the Royal Academy of Art’s Summer Exhibition, and Robin Purnell, also an artist from Little Washington, pause a moment in the courtyard of the academy in central London last week. The two artists paraded down Piccadilly with other honorees and their friends to a service in St. James Church behind a steel band and an officiating priest, and later they attended the reception of honorees at the academy. The highlights of their six-day journey to Great Britain began 'with a surprise upgrade on Virgin Atlantic to First Class, and the offer of an inflight massage, which both parties declined, while accepting the complimentary champagne. “It would have gotten-me too excited,” Slack joked about the champagne/massage combo. Beyond the ride, they reveled in an Edward Hopper retrospective at the Tate Gallery, and shared in the brouhaha over a speech to the academy given by art critic Robert Hughes in which he scolded the art world by saying, “We’ve had a gutful of fast art and fast food. What we need now is slow art.” Slack and Purnell agreed with his comments. “Just Robert Hughes saying what he did was a highlight of the trip,” said Purnell, who also enjoyed See ARTISTS, Page B2 Carnival and parade coming to Amissville June 23 through June 26 By Jed Duvall Special to the Rappahannock News The Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company presents its annual Carnival June 23 through June 26 — and the big parade, with 100 different units, is set for 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 24.

Local history Concerning some local history, we would Uke to give a brief report on a World War 11 government program that enabled German POWs to work on local farms. During the war, regular German POWs were held at the Remount Station near Front Royal. This installation was on the right, off Route 522, just before the town limits. According to several people we interviewed in our neighborhood, select prisoners would be loaded on to the back of canvasscovered army trucks early on workday mornings and trucked to Massies Comer in Rappahannock. This location was an assembly point, convenient to farms on this end of the county and to points toward the Washington - VlEWTOWN Linda Hitt 937-4221 L_ Sperryville area. Local farmers met there to collect their workers and at the end of the day the prisoners were returned to this place. In the Viewtown area, the late Russell Smith was among those who worked the prisoners. R. L. Miller near Ben Venue also used them on his farm. I spoke with William (Bill) Printz, a local landowner, who was a young teenager during these times. He remembers these days, when his father, Cletus Printz, worked German prisoners. William Printz remembered these men to be very hard workers. He said at lunch time during those days, his father would let the prisoners rest near his porch. His father and mother would give these young men some extra food and they"greatly appreciated that. Mr. and Mrs. Printz were kind people and it did not matter to them that they were breaking an Army regulation. Other people I interviewed, had positive things to say about the POWs. One lady said as a young girl, she looked forward to the end of the day when the Army prison truck would pass by her house. On many days she would exchange waves with one particular prisoner. Speaking to her in the presence of several others about those days, she told us that this German prisoner was tall with blonde hair and how she knew he had blue eyes from that distance, we will never know.

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. Hopewell Baptist Church Hopewell Baptist Church of Sperryville invites friends and families to join it on Saturday, July 3 at 12 noon on the church lawn for a day filled with friendship, food and fun for all ages, including an old-fashioned hayride, games for fun and for prizes and a special tribute to the seniors.

Letters From Page B1 replied with letters of their own, they included class pictures. “There weren’t any cute guys,” said McPeak, as if she hardly had expected there to be, then added, “The pictures weren’t that close up. But they are basically just like us. The look and dress like us, and listen to the same music.” McPeak and Buchholz had to ask Daves about certain words that the Nottingham students used, like “Mum” for Mom and “bob,” which means “bad” and “ace” means “good.” The letters, for the most part, appear to be unvarnished for the truths they tell. One Mellish Comprehensive student, Haley Butters, after writing the lowdown on her pets Smokey and Peanut and her dog Pepsi, wrote, “My school is called Henry Mellish Comprehensive. It is OK here but it is quite boring.” Daves showed a visitor photographs of the Henry Mellish Comprehensive school that she has tacked to the classroom walls. She likes to think that the association with the children in Nottingham has also given her Rappahannock students a small lesson in geography and culture. “Me being here is a cultural exchange,” she said. Rather than just pretending to be another American teacher, she has brought some of England over with her and introduced it into the classroom. One difference among others that Daves has noted in the year she has taught in Rappahannock, the first of at least two years, her students here “are concerned more about grades academically,” she says. “But that may be the location.” And perhaps even news to the parents. Artists From Page B1 talking to London taxi drivers and was relieved not to have been hit by London’s red double-decker buses, which travel in the unexpected left lanes. Purnell, who was honored by the academy two years ago, wanted to visit Madame Toussaud’s Wax Museum, but regretted not being able to find the time. Finally, while waiting in line to check in at Heathrow Airport for their return to Washington, Purnell and Slack were again miraculously bumped up to First Class on Virgin Atlantic, and this time Purnell graciously accepted a back massage. Movie From Page B1 the best of them too. In a working-class neighborhood in Boston, the lives of three old friends— Jimmy (Penn), an ex-con now running a comer store; Sean (Bacon), a police detective; and Dave (Robbins), an underachiever—intersect after Jimmy’s daughter is murdered. Sean’s resultant investigation dredges up dark memories of the pivotal moment in their childhood when Dave was coerced into climbing into a car with two adult male strangers while Jimmy and Sean stood by helplessly. What happened that day haunts and influences the three forever. This is not an ordinaiy police story. The tragedy stirs up reservoirs of pain and doubt that work on each man in a different way. Jimmy’s pain after the tragic murder of his daughter becomes a rage that threatens to shred his soul. Sean, who has his professional life together, has a personal life in shambles. His pregnant wife abandoned him months ago and now calls him periodically but never speaks. Dave has never made it past that long-ago afternoon. A lumbering shell of a man, with haunted eyes and an unsteady manner, he scrapes out a living So he can support his meek, tentative wife, Celeste (Marcia Gay Harden), and their young son. While “Mystic River” is a murder mystery, it’s also about lives impacted by fate, about how the past can strangle the present. The female roles aren’t as prominent, but Harden makes Celeste a deeply insecure woman, uncertain of herself and of her husband. Conversely, Laura Linney as Annabeth quietly unveils herself as the steely-eyed wife of Jimmy. A look exchanged between the two women at a neighborhood parade says more than Penn’s howls or even Robbins’ stammering* Eastwood is worthy of very high praise as he weaves this story together. “Mystic River” reminds one of the sorrow and majesty of Eastwood’s “Unforgiven,” but it stands firmly on its own as one of 2003’s most profoundly accomplished movies. Rated R for sexual content, violence, a gruesome murder scene and overall emotional intensity; run time is 137 minutes. Brookside Restaurant & Gift Shop U S. 211 E.

As Manassas grew so did Dudley Martin Chevrolet, selling and servicing many thousands of automobiles over the years. Many of the employees have been there 20 and 30 years and look back with pride and satisfaction over their careers. They all spoke of the mutual loyalty between themselves and the Martin family much of it probably due to Mike Martin’s open door policy. If there is a problem, either personal or business, he is there for them. There is truly a sense of family that is hard to find in today’s world.
