Rees is the driving force behind efforts to resuscitate George Washington as an historical figure of importance. Making oeorge Washington seem real By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer Brace yourself! George Washington’s false teeth were not made of wood! With this knowledge, some people’s view of George, if not history, will change forever. Now, brace yourself again. His false teeth were made of elephant’s ivory and the whittled-down teeth of cows! Gross? You bet —and fascinating. The best part,;these and other riveting factoids about our Founding Father will soon be shown in a cineplex near you. Well...not actually near you but close enough to count, if a part-time Rappahannock County resident has anything to say about it.

Settle will lead State Police office in Warrenton By Alexandra Bogdanovic Rappahannock News Staff Writer Virginia State Police Sgt. Gary Settle, a former Rappahannock County sheriff, has been named the new head of the Warrenton State Police office which oversees Rappahannock. Settle, 42, will be promoted to first sergeant when he returns for his third stint in the Area 12 Office next month. “On one hand I think (the job) will be a challenge, but I’ve spent most of my career in Fauquier and Rappahannock so I am coming back to an area I know,” Settle said. “I am excited and I am looking forward to it.” Settle succeeds First Sgt. Ed Murphy who is transferring to the Area 26 Office in Whytheville, Va. The move is effective July 10. According to Murphy, his job change was prompted by financial considerations. Specifically, he cited a lower cost of living as the primary factor. His new job will also provide an opportunity for professional growth, he said. Settle is currently the public information officer at the Division 2 Office in Culpeper. Prior to that he worked in the Area 12 office for a few months. He has also worked as a special agent in the narcotics division. See POLICE, Page A8 Sgt. Gary Settle New laws impact taxes, marriage and driving 3CZ By Dominic Bonaiuto Rappahannock News Staff Writer New laws taking effect this week will impact nearly everyone in the community, whether it is senior citizens looking to renew their driver’s licenses or students who are squeamish about science class dissection. As is the case every year, July 1 ushers in a variety of new laws and changes to existing ones approved months earlier by the Genera] Assembly and the governor. Some of the changes, like the tax increases approved as part of the new state budget, will not take effect until Sept. 1. Others, like the Affirmation of Marriage Act, throw Virginia into the spotlight of a national debate. Here is a sampling of some of the new laws and changes. Alcohol Some, but not all, Alcohol Beverage Control stores in Northern Virginia will be open for Sunday sales beginning this weekend. Select stores will be open from 1 to 6 p.m. Go to www.abc. state, va. us for more information. Animals Public schools must now provide alternatives to animal dissection, including the use of detailed models and computer simulations. Dog and cat owners who kick or harm another dog attacking their pet on their own property will be exempt from animal cruelty charges. Child abuse Public and private schools must display notice in every building that any employee who has reason to suspect that a child is abused or neglected is required to report such suspected cases to local or state service agencies.

The “Day of Rest” law is part of the so-called Blue Laws enacted in 1974. Most businesses in the state have been exempt from the law for the last 30 years. As of tomorrow, however, those exemptions no longer exist. How and what happened remains unclear, but it seems as if the 2004 General Assembly, in an attempt to repeal some or all of the Blue Laws, has repealed its exemptions instead. The end product of its legislation forms, in essence, a new law. It is an unintended law, and a huge See BLUE LAWS, Page A5 Big turnout Amissville’s carnival and parade, sponsored by its fire and rescue company, was one of the best ever. See Page B1.

Educated cows Photo courtesy Ray T. Cannon Rappahannock Angus rancher Ray T. Cannon caught 50 or so of his purebred cows forming a “C” in the pond on his 300-acre El Rancho Grande Farm in Castleton. He says the “C” stands for Cows and Castleton and Cannon, and maybe it is so. They last formed a “C" and were pictured in the Rappahannock News on August 8, 2001. Said Cannon, 86, of the cows and his photographing techniques: “You had to fool around to wait until they get in position. I didn’t do anything to 'em. They take a bath every day to get away from the heat and the flies, too. That’s about as perfect a C’ as possible. They must be educated.” Michelle Sue Keyser receives master’s degree Michelle Sue Keyser received her master’s degree in special education with a specialization in applied behavior analysis on May 15 from George Mason University.

Wakefield school holds graduation ceremonies Students from kindergarten, middle school, upper school honored at joyful events in May By Kathie Russo Special to the Rappahannock News During the past several weeks, Wakefield Country Day School’s auditorium in Flint Hill has been the site of almost non-stop activities that have included kindergarten, middle school, and upper school graduation ceremonies. First, to the joyful observation of many proud parents, relatives and friends, a ceremony was held where each kindergartner recited a poem from memory and “graduated” to first grade; the girls in white dresses and the boys in white shirts, dark pants and dress ties. > Next, the seventh graders, after a strenuous academic year that included completion of what many characterize as one of the most challenging classes, British History, earned their rite of passage and received their diplomas in an evening ceremony marking their graduation to the upper school. And then came the upper school graduation. Twelve seniors, joined by Wakefield’s eighth through eleventh grade students, gathered for the school’s Photos by Marcy Lauben OUTSTANDING GRADS: From left, Krystel Linge, Karie vonFange, who received the Outstanding Service Award; Robin Oyster who received the Mathematics Award; and Ellen Casteleyn who received the Pamela Lynn New Student Award pose proudly at Wakefield Country Day School’s recent graduation on May 30. 25th Closing Exercises, officially ending the 2003-2004 academic year. This year’s commencement address was delivered by the Honorable William Sharp, Chief Judge of the Juvenile and Domestic Court for Warren, Page and Frederick counties. Judge Sharp spoke to the students about what a gift their education is, and he also elaborated on some of the wonderful possibilities that lie ahead for the graduates. Invoking the famous words of President John F. Kennedy concerning, “what you can do for your country,” he urged each of the students to use his or her talents to Rappahannock students exhibit farm animals at fair By Debbie Massie Special to the Rappahannock News The Culpeper-MadisonRappahannock Farm . Fair begins Tuesday, July 6 and runs through Sunday, July 11 at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises on Route 29 South. Five students from Rappahannock County will be exhibiting beef, hogs and goats. In addition to these exhibitors, numerous youth and adults enter items in the Homemaker’s Building. Such items include paintings, charcoal drawings, poetry, stories, hobbies, collections, crafts, baked goods, needlework and flowers. Other activities include a bluegrass/gospe 1/country music concert and barbecue dinner on Saturday, July 10, an auction, skydiving demonstration, tractor driving contest and lawn mower races.

Karie vonFange of Woodville was this year’s salutatorian, and she spoke about the diversity among her classmates, and how much they have learned from each other. The Class of 2004 is unique to Wakefield in that it is the first time that there are more students from foreign countries in the graduating class than students from the United States. They hail from Belgium, Haiti, and Taiwan; two are from Mexico; and two are from South Korea. In her remarks, vonFange also spoke of how we are more and more becoming a global society, and how rapidly things have been changing in the last few years with mod ern technology. Robin Oyster, the valedictorian, gave a beautiful rendition of the song, “I Will Remember You.” Her subsequent remarks also alluded to the many memories she will carry with her of her time spent at Wakefield and of the experiences she has shared with her many school friends. At Wakefield, these last few weeks have indeed been full of memories and changes. Headmaster Michael Vargo is retiring this summer, after nine years of dedicated service. Helen Foster Corbin, an “institution” for over 20 years as the school's housekeeper, is retiring at the end of the month. June also marks the end of a long cycle for Richard Martin, another WCDS “fixture,” who has been teaching science and math in the prep school for many years. Yet it is also an exciting time - new students are registering, several new teachers have been hired, and Kathy Grove, the new headmistress, is scheduled to arrive Aug. 1, bringing with her great talents, enthusiasm, and a commitment to Wakefield’s classical curriculum. And the cycle begins anew. SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE s A V E S A V E 10% OFF ALL DRIVEWAYS!!

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulations www.TimesCommunity.com THURSDAY, JULY 1, 2004 Our View Democracy at work It could be the best of times and the worst of times, if recent new laws out of Richmond are any indicator, and nothing acts quite so much as a measure of our collective thinking, confused and otherwise ordered, as what our lawmakers feel the need to impose on those whom they presumably represent. Theirs is democracy at work, we guess, which is something we celebrate on the Fourth of July, but sometimes their products lead us to wonder about their thinking. One new law provides public school students with “alternatives” to animal dissection in biology class. Who could have conceived of this? What alternatives will squeamish children use, model frogs and plastic mice that bleed Kool-Aid and ooze Jello? At what cost in time and money and sheer inconvenience? Here’s another one. Starting July 1, we can only Hick a pet that is not our own if that pet happens to attack our pet on our property — otherwise, we get slapped with an “animal cruelty” charge. Tell that to the person whose hairless Chihuahua is being savaged in a public parking lot by Rottweilers. Two other new laws we probably could live without — that only give the legal profession new fertile ground to plow — call for a penalty of a year in jail and/or a $2,500 fine for anybody caught recording a movie while it is being shown in a theater. Is this how you watch a movie? And under another new one, landlords can no longer peep into dwellings to spy on tenants. Is this, we ask, a whole unpublicized new class of criminal? One law makes us wonder again why lawmakers feel the right to be so self-righteous. The new Affirmation of Marriage Act for the Commonwealth states that a civil union, partnership contract or other arrangement between persons of the same sex purporting to bestow the privileges or obliga tions oi marriage is proniDirea ana tnai any sucn arrangement entered into in another state or jurisdiction will be considered void in Virginia.” What ever happened to the old country principle of Live and Let Live, just so long as you* don’t'scare the horses? Some laws seem okay to us, like the one requiring drivers over 80 years old to appear in person at a DMV office to pass a vision screening test or present a screening report from a doctor at the desk. And the cigarette tax is moving up on Sept. 1 from 2.5 cents a pack to 20 cents, then 30 cents a year from July 1. And those who are convicted of using the Internet to lure minors for the purpose of sex will be added to the Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry. Two new laws, on the other hand, stand in odd contradiction. Drunk driving laws are stiffening in Virginia, with increased mandatory minimum jail sentences for second and third offenses, and a refusal to take a breath test will now be a criminal offense for those with prior DUI convictions. Yet, for the convenience of potential drunk drivers, some but not all of Virginia’s state-operated Alcohol Beverage Control stores in Northern Virginia will be open Sundays for the first time starting this weekend, from 1 to 6 p.m. The worth of new laws, like beauty, resides often in the eye of the beholder. On balance, this new batch seems to us to be neither plain nor gorgeous but something we can all live with, until next year’s batch comes along. 'e/o'l ' p . Ii.f ylDULO fllKl eeiNtw? ^ * ■N. OOof' Letters There will be a 4th of July celebration in Rappahannock! After attending our great 4th of July celebrations for years, Rappahannock seems kind of quiet now. We were sitting around trying to think of something we could do to celebrate the 4th. We finally decided it would be nice to have a picnic and invite the whole county. So this is what we came up with: An “Old-fashioned Community Picnic” on Sunday, July 4, from 12 noon to 4 p.m. at the Rappahannock Recreation Center. We will have games for young and old, basketball, wififle ball, volley ball, threelegged races, and an egg toss. Tennis is available on two courts (bring your racquets and balls). A face painter will be on hand to give youngsters a “new look.” Lunch from the grill: hot dogs, hamburgers/ cheeseburgers, veggie burgers, pork barbecue, chips, soda and fruit drinks, cookies/cake and watermelon— all for a donation of $5 for adults and big kids and $2.50 for kids 10 and under. Voter registration will be available and patriotic music will fill the air. At 3 p.m., Rappahannock’s very own indie rock band, the Quantum Repairmen, will provide free musical entertainment. So, come on down with your friends and neighbors for an old-fashioned 4th of July. Rappahannock County Democratic Committee Plant fund-raiser for Sidney Dodson was a success The Sidney Dodson Cerebral Palsy Fund thanks everyone for the successful plant sale held June 12, in particular Judy Lewis and Dianne Huyett for growing and donating the dwarf Cannas and Susan Achenbach along with Judy for volunteering to work the sale. Thank you Settles Grocery and Garage for all your support and thank you to everyone for your purchases and donations. A spaghetti dinner will be held on July 10 starting at 4 p.m. at the Flint Hill Fire House. Come out and enjoy a hearty meal for a donation to the Sidney Dodson Cerebral Palsy Fund and if you’ve never had the pleasure, Sidney will be there to greet you. A huge thanks to the FHFD! Candace Clough Washington Thanks to all blood donors We would like to thank the Rappahannock community for coming out on June 23 to support the Red Cross Bloodmobile at the Washington Fire and Rescue hall. The Red Cross is experi- ■ encing an early summer shortage of usable blood, so it greatly appreciates the 30 units collected in Little Washington. We also thank Stacey Bailey for giving of her time to work in the canteen at the Bloodmobile, and Judy Tole for her donation of cake to the canteen. Finally, an additional thanks is extended to Ann Spieker and the Washington Fire and Rescue Squad for once again allowing the Bloodmobile to be held at their hall. We look forward to seeing all blood donors again in January 2005. Marie Davis Marie Riedel Washington Letters to the Editor We welcome your opinions and comments.

Opinion ‘Another step toward making Virginia an even better place to call home’ As June turns into duly, so too do the new laws passed by the General Assembly come into effect. This legislation now completes the transition from ideas to reality—real laws that will have a dramatic and beneficial impact on Virginia and all our citizens. I would like to share some of the most important new laws that are the result of that hard work. DUI penalties Drivers on Virginia’s highways and byways will enjoy safer roads as a result of the tough new legislation we passed to crack down on drunk drivers in the Commonwealth. My office sponsored legislation that will make anyone charged with a third DUI ineligible for bail thereby keeping them in jail after they’ve been arrested. This measure alone will keep our f The Forum Jerry Kilgore streets safer. Other successful legislation my office sought imposes a mandatory 10-day jail sentence for anyone who causes bodily injury due to a DUI. By strengthening our laws, we are making it clear that in Virginia we will not tolerate drunk driving. Gangs We have also successfully passed legislation that will keep Virginians safe from other threats to the well being and peace of our communities and families— . gangs and domestic violence. The gang problem is one that has grown in recent years throughout the Commonwealth, starting in Northern Virginia and now spreading through towns and cities all over our state. For that reason we took pro-active steps to safeguard Virginians by making gang activity punishable under the Virginia RICO act, which targets specific enterprises that are organized for the purpose of criminal activity. Being able to target gangs under RICO will increase the penalties for gang activity and involvement, and will send a strong message that gangs are not welcome in Virginia. Domestic violence Domestic violence is not welcome either, and has no place in the homes of the Commonwealth. With the creation of the Domestic Violence Victims Fund, it will be clear that 1 Supervisors to meet The following is a tentative agenda for the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors’ meeting on Wednesday, July 7 at the county courthouse on Gay Street at 2 p.m. There is no 7 p.m. session. Old Business Solid Waste Disposal Options Tapp’s Ford Road Bridge (Route 645) Appointment of Farmland Preservation Committee LEOS Resolution Adoption New Business Solar Energy Equipment Tax Exemption Staggered T?rms Employee Years of Service Awards (Tb be held at 3:30 p.m.) Appointments Mr. Estes’ term on the Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority expires July, 31; he is eligible for reappointment Information June Building Permit Report Lighting Ordinance, w/Planning Commission recommended changes (slated for hearing in August) Closed Session To discuss the acquisition and disposal of real property for public purpose under 2.2-3711 A.3 Laws From Page A1 be added to general district criminal and traffic cases for a $3 million Domestic Violence Victims’ Fund to provide services and new prosecutors. Driving Drivers age 80 and older will now be required to appear in person at a DMV branch and pass a vision screening test or present a screening report from an ophthalmologist or optometrist conducted within the last 90 days before they can renew their driver’s licenses. Virginia’s drunk driving laws are also getting stiffen Mandatory minimum jail sentences are being increased for second and third offenses, and refusal to take a breath test will now be a criminal offense for those with prior DUI convictions. Gangs Anyone of any age now convicted of gang recruitment will face up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine, and a third or subsequent gangrelated conviction within 10 years will be punishable by a five-to-20-year jail sentence. Film pirating Recording a movie while it is being shown in a theater will be punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. Illegal aliens Law enforcement officers will now be able to detain certain illegal aliens for up to 72 hours or until they are taken into federal custody so long as the person in question has been confirmed to be in the country illegally, has been previously convicted of a felony and previously deported because of that conviction. Marriage The Affirmation of Marriage Act for the Commonwealth of Virginia states that a civil union, partnership contract or other arrangement between persons of the same sex purporting to bestow the privileges or obligations of marriage is prohibited and that any such arrangement entered into in another state or jurisdiction will be considered void in Virginia. Sex education An addition to the Family Life Education curriculum provides information about avoiding sexual assault and the availability of counseling and legal resources. Sex offenders Adds those convicted of using the Internet or other communications to lure minors for the purpose of sex to the Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry. Taxes After a lengthy special session this spring, the legislature approved increases in the sales, cigarette and recordation taxes as part of a massive budget overhaul that will benefit mainly education and human services. The sales tax will increase from 4.5 cents on the dollar to 5 cents. The cigarette tax will increase from 2.5 cents • per pack to 20 cents Sept. 1, and then to 30 cents on July 1 of next year. The recordation t^x, the fee paid recording real estate transactions, will increase from 15 cents per $100 of assessed value to 20 cents. —Staff writer Joanne Richcreck contributed to this report.

The fund will support criminal prosecutions of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking cases, as well as provide funding for services and programs that assist victims. Victims of domestic violence in Virginia will nowhave the help they need and the resources they require to make sure that those who harmed them can never do so again, and to enable them to start their lives over free from violence and free from fear. Consumer protection Virginians will also be more free from persistent phone calls from telemarketers, and those who prey on citizens after disasters with price-gouging practices that put making an extra dollar ahead of helping a fellow Virginian. The Virginia Do Not Call List will go into effect on July 1, and will ensure that telemarketers cannot call any Virginian who has placed his or her phone number on the national Do Not Call List. It will also enable Virginians to place their cell phone numbers on the list as well. With the Virginia PostDisaster Anti-Price Gouging Act, we have made sure that merchants cannot sell their products or services at unconscionable prices during declared states of emergency. At times when Virginians need to come together for the common good, we cannot allow our citizens to be taken advantage of for unwarranted individual gain. Access to education Finally, we have passed important legislation to improve access to higher education. This legislation streamlines the process for students wishing to transfer from community colleges to four-year institutions in Virginia, as well as improve and expand distance learning capabilities and opportunities in the state. Over the course of the 2004 session of the General Assembly, my office was able to put into law legislation that will make attaining higher education easier, gang and domestic violence rarer, our roads safer, and our communities more secure. Through all of this, we have taken another step toward making Virginia an even better place to call home. ■Jerry VV. Kilgore is Attorney General of The Commonwealth of Virginia. Blue laws From Page A1 surprise to everyone. But Virginia’s labor law division says it intends to enforce the new law. Civil and criminal charges may be incurred for violation of the day of rest law, including penalties ranging from $250 to $500 for each offense, and “three times the employee’s regular rate of pay for all hours worked on an employee’s day of rest.” Compounding the problem is the fact that little or nothing can be done to remedy the situation until the General Assembly meets for its 2005 session in January. “I’ve been in this position for 15 years and I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Keith Cheatham, Virginia Chamber of Commerce director of governmental affairs. Alerted to the situation 13 days ago by a Richmond law firm, Cheatham sounded the clarion call by a notice to local chambers of commerce last Thursday. “I’m the bill reader. I should have caught this,” said Cheatham. “The mischief was created because the General Assembly — unintentionally, we feel — in trying to repeal the Blue Laws, repealed the exceptions to the Day of Rest law.” • SB659 repealed section 18.2-341 of the so-called Blue Laws, which reads: “On the first day of the week, commonly known and designated as Sunday, no person shall engage in work, labor or business or employ others to engage in work, labor or business except in the following industries ... transportation, services, utilities, manufacturing, publishing, real estate, movies, radio, TV, boat service and gas,. medical services, sports, agriculture, florists, drugstores, restaurants, delis, janitorial, hotels, funeral homes, cemeteries, mining, food, ice, beverage, film, art, pet and tobacco sales, nonprofit charities,” among others. Cheatham said most businessmen and women have been aware of the Blue Laws, and knew they were exempt. “Trouble is, as of tomorrow they are no longer exempt,” he said. Bill Lightv, Gov. Mark Warner’s chief of staff, was reluctant to address the issue by phone on Friday. He said the governor was on vacation. "It was an oversight in the drafting of the bill,” he said. “There is certainly the will to fix this. The question is what to do from an administrative point of view. We don’t have an answer yet.” One suspects that when Virginia Sen. Frederick Quayle sponsored the bill he didn’t know it would stir up trouble. Several phone calls to his office went unreturned. “This is bill No. 1 for the 2005 session,” Cheatham offered. “A poster child for a bill with unintended consequences.” He said lots of bills have technical problems and are fixed the next session, “but most are not significant.” Attorney Ellen Marie Hess, with the Department of Labor and Industry in Richmond, fielded questions on Friday. She said that as of July 1, any employee desiring and not giv«en Sunday off can file a complaint at the Department of Labor and Industry. She recommended concerned employers “get legal advice concerning what they need to do concerning that statute.” Hess said state and local governments are exempt from the law. Only private companies are affected by the Day of Rest provision. One person employing one person could be considered a private company, she said. Asked how the law applied to “quasi-governmental” or other public-private hybrid companies, Hess said, "I would suggest they talk to their local attorney.” She said that she had “never dealt with anything like this.” Sen. Russell Potts says he voted against repeal of the Blue Laws. He was not aware of the effort’s unintended consequences. “I thought our state employees ought not have to work on Sundays. Sundays are a day of rest at least, if not worship." Potts said the governor will have to decide what to do with the law as it currently stands. “I'm sure he will do anything he can do temporarily, but having a special session for one piece of legislation is highly unlikely.” Ellen Qualls, Warner’s press secretary, yesterday said that the Department of Labor and Industry has decided to take a “commonsense approach to enforcement” of this law. “That means they will investigate egregious complaints.” Yesterday’s press release from labor law enforcers said, “On July 1, when the legislation becomes effective, most employees in Virginia will be entitled to a day of rest and they will be able to choose to have Sunday or Saturday as their day of rest. The Department of Labor and Industry enforces the laws that govern the work place in Virginia.” The release is readable in full on-line at www.doli.state.va.us . “You can’t have a B & B without help on Sundays,” John Hearty railed goodnaturedly upon hearing about the new law. “It’s nuts. They have to fix it.” Hearty, owner of The Plains' Grey Horse Inn, said Sunday’s are busy check-in and check-out days. “If my people decide not to work on Sundays, I’ll have to do the work myself.” Another local businessman wanted his name with*held. “I’d prefer not to get our employees all riled up,” he said. “This Sunday is July Fourth, one of our busiest days of the year."

Close examination of their burial sites reveals that they buried their dead in a very specific manner. Many of the dead were laid in an east/west orientation, corresponding to the rising and setting of the sun. It is quite remarkable that many of the dead were set in a fetal position, which echoes the arc of life from the womb to the grave. In addition, in many of the early burial sites, an unusually high amount of pollen was present, perhaps an indication that flowers were part of the burial ceremony. By all these indications, the tradition of the funeral may be 50,000 to 90,000 years old. A funeral is an important ritual of transition which allows a gathering place for the whole family and a closing event for a loved one’s life. At the (MOSER FUNERAL HOME), we re here to design a service which serves your family’s values and needs. We’re at 233 Broadview Avenue, W’arrenton.

Fireworks on the Fourth: Fun or trouble? The Amissville Fire and Rescue Company urges folks to have fun over the Fourth of July and avoid a trip to the emergency room. Even those “sparklers” that appear so^harmless can be trouble; they burn at temperatures as high as 1,800 degrees—that's right 1,800 degrees. Further, holding more than one sparkler in your hand can cause severe burns. Use them with great care. If you do plan fireworks fun over the Fourth, your volunteer fire and rescue neighbors urge the following: •- Use fireworks only under adult supervision. • Place fireworks on a flat, open surface, well clear of any buildings. • Keep all bystanders at least 25 feet away. • Keep a bucket of water close by. • Never aim or throw fireworks at another person. • Light fireworks one at a time. • Never place your fingers, hands or other parts of your body over or around fireworks. • Never try to re-ignite a dud; get another firecracker. • Never put any sort of fireworks in your pocket. Never. • Do not wear loose clothing when using fireworks. High school chosen to pilot new technology course By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County High School has been chosen as one of four Virginia schools to pilot a new course in Geospatial Technology that firmly moves the school’s vocational training into the 21st century and opens the way for important community projects as well as classroom . instruction, according to teachers and experts. George Wilcox, director of Technology Education at the Virginia Department of Education advised school officials this spring that under the program, RCHS will be “licensed to install the software on all computers,” provided by ESRI, a national geospatial software producer, that will introduce students to global positioning systems (GPS), geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS) .and image processing (IP). Geospatial Technology has become a key element of the United States’ vast technological advantage. The GPS system is a constellation of 27 satellites that orbit the earth. A GPS receiver acquires radio signals from these satellites and is able to precisely pinpoint the “coordinate address,” that is the longitude and latitude, on the surface of the earth. U.S. armed forces have for nearly two decades perfected GPS for precision bombing and artillery fire as well as maneuvering units on the ground and navigating fighters and bomber aircraft. It has encoded the military signals to prevent blocking of military commands in time of war. The U.S. was fearful Iraq had obtained blocking technology from the Russians in March 2003. The civilian use of GPS is more extensive. It directs London cabs through city streets, allows tracking of cell phones, navigates ocean-going vessels and lets hunters identify and relocate their hunting stands. When GPS couples with geographic information systems and remote sensing, it facilitates societal objectives from allowing farmers to plot seed and fertilize to helping county governments track development and estimate such diverse things as hospital requirements and sewer hookups. Just this year, the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service began training for farmers and agriculturists across the state, equipping each agent with a Garmin Etrex Legend GPS receiver so they can provide training. The course came to Rappahannock County as the result of the work of a citizen-educator team including Beverly Hunter, a nationally recognized expert on Geospatial Technology, Bob Chappell, Superintendent of Schools, Roger Mello, principal of the high school, foundation grantwriter Amy Silver and two teachers, Ron Vickers and Beth Gall. Beverly Hunter made the original suggestion for the course and with the help of Amy Silver, who writes grant applications for the Headwaters Foundation, arranged for the schools to apply to the state for the use of ESRI software. As part of a national marketing program, ESRI has supplied free training and software across the country. Vickers and Gall will be teaching the course with the help of Hunter. Vickers was sent to a training seminar earlier this year and is spending the summer in further training as he prepares a curriculum and plan for the 36-week course. The former U.S. Marine engineer and experienced technology teacher is already comfortable with this new language. Vickers said in an interview that the course moved forward because the new superintendent “Bob Chappell is open to a lot of ideas.” Vickers said it is one of the most important developments since vocational training was begun at Rappahannock high school at the close of the Piedmont Vocational Training School. The training has immediate job implications for students. Mello told the high school newspaper in an interview that the “pilot project will help students gain analytical and technical skills that will broaden their marketability in the global workplace and benefit our community.” Hunter said the career opportunities are very real. “Civil engineering, map making, geography, government local and national... all are places where aspects of GIS (and GPS) are being used,” she said. There are internships and advanced college programs also available. Hunter, Silver and others are thinking about a “community mapping program,” which would give students hands on field experience gathering information through GPS and using it in GIS applications. It would also provide vital data for county needs and projects like Rappahannock’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan. She said the youngsters could work in teams in the field with a GPS unit, hand-held data collection units and digital cameras to gather data and record it in databases. As Hunter explains it, once the material is collected and entered in a database, a computer can relate it like old map overlays to show the relationship of everything from land use to county services. She said the youngsters could map roads and agriculture, villages and commercial areas as well as wildlife corridors, forest cover and the view shed. They could also prepare maps of significant historic phases of the county from the pre-Colombian Rappahannock through the Revolutionary and Civil War periods to the present. One of the key things to track might be the people relocated from the building of the Shenandoah National Park and the experiences of African American county residents over the years. • “To get the youngsters into the field,” Hunter said in a recent interview, “will take support from the schools, the 44 99 See Ray...It’ll Pay Ray T.

Rees, a thin man with wire rimmed spectacles and brown hair that is graying around the fringes, is the driving force behind an initiative to resuscitate George Washington as an historical figure of primary importance. “In the last 30 years,” says Rees, “Washington has been pushed out of our daily lives. He’s become a symbol, like an eagle, and we have to make him seem real again.” Revisionists and the political-correctness movement in education have conspired, for example, to give Harriet Tubman as much prominence in the malleable minds of middle schoolers as George himself, not taking away from Harriet.... The initiative by Rees and those to whom he answers in the Mount Vernon Ladies Association which has owned and controlled Mount Vernon since the 19th century, do not stem from a desire to attract more visitors. A million arrive each year. “We want Washington to seem real to young people,” Rees says. “He was an actionoriented guy. He got on a horse and led troops. He explored the wilderness. He’s got the quali 3820 Prince William Pkwy, Woodbridge, VA 22192 Toll Free 1-866-583-9600 www.motorcyclefactoryinc.com Offer ends July 31 HONIJA.

The film will be directed by Ron Maxwell, who lives about a quarter mile from Rees’ log cabin. The museum complex will also feature displays of Washington’s clothes and of course his false teeth. “People want to have fun,” says Rees, who reveals a secret that Mount Vernon has owned Washington’s false teeth for more than a century, but displaying them until now, he says, “was felt to be too personal. But if the next 30 years are as costly to his reputation as the last 30, he will be lost. We are pulling out all the stops.” Including the teeth. The new complex will be built on Mount Vernon’s verdant grounds, with more than two-thirds of its structure underground. “Sheep will graze on top,” says Rees, “so as not to disrupt your history.” In that respect, he wants for us to understand Washington in ways we have never known him, or as Rees expresses it, “a whole new expression of who Washington was.” He is called “The Indispensable Man,” who had to find his own way when his father died at 11 and he became the older son of the second wife. 66 Washington was such an athlete with a reputation that an invitation to ride with him to the hounds was akin ‘to a kid being asked today to shoot hoops with Michael Jordan.’ Jim Rees Executive director Mount Vernon “He got very little,” says Rees, and he could not do what he otherwise might have expected— an education and a life in England. Instead, he became a land surveyor in Rappahannock, which was then called Culpeper County. “He was ambitious, and later, his ambition for himself became an ambition for the nation.” In order to get him “right” this time, Rees is putting together teams Of forensic scientists from Pittsburgh University and Arizona State University to employ cuttingedge threeTdimensional scanners to measure Washington to discover for the first time exactly how he looked.

Scientists will then work backward in time to reach an exact and real image of Washington as a younger man, much as forensic scientists work forward to find what missing children look like as adults. Just like Washington, to whom Rees endearingly relates many topics in conversation, Rees has come from Mount Vernon to Rappahannock. He was “living over the shop” in Mount Vernon and needed a place to get away. He did not choose Rappahannock by sheer accident. “There are a lot of places out here that Washington crossed. He really got around. This county is enlightened, and I saw a cabin and it was an historical structure, just right for me. And the town here is Little Washington.” Everything seemed right. “This was Washington’s proving ground,” Rees says of Rappahannock and its environs. “He learned about land and proved himself here. He was a county surveyor at 23. He traveled through the wilderness of here without help, which was great commander’s training for later on. He was aggressive as a president. He subscribed to the Western expansion, and that started here in this beautiful county and this untouched land.” First Sgt. Ed Murphy Police From Page A1 He was working in Culpeper when he decided to make a bid for Rappahannock sheriff in 1995. He was elected, but only served one term before returning to work with the state police. “Becoming Rappahannock County sheriff was something I always wanted to do,” he said. “There was a constituency that thought a change was needed. The challenge was enormous, and when I left after four years public perception (of the office) was high. But I still felt that tug from the state police.” Upon his return to the state police in 2000, Settle was assigned to the Area 12 Office, where he worked for about two years. During that time, he worked with Murphy and gained a healthy respect for his work ethic. “Ed’s a worker,” he said. “I hope to be able to carry on his work.” Murphy, who has been with the Virginia State Police for more than 15 years, has fond memories from his time here. “It has been a very eventful two and a half years,” said Murphy, 37. “There have been major political changes in the county. There were major criminal cases as well as traffic incidents.” Murphy could not single one out, however. “They were all valuable experiences and they all made me a better person,” he said. Mostly Murphy said he will miss the people. Specifically, he said he would miss the troopers under his command and the citizens with whom he has worked. Looking ahead, Murphy said he thinks his successor will also bring “a lot of positive changes to the Warrenton post. “Sgt. Settle has experience as a supervisor,” he noted. “He is a former Rappahannock County sheriff, so he is very well versed in the political side (of the job).” Alexandra Bogdanovic may be reached at abogdanovic@ timespapers. com.

Photos by JB Carter, Jr I ‘Miracle’ will have you on the edge of your seat By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News For hockey fans, Feb. 22, 1980, is a day that will be forever remembered. Tb many, it was the greatest upset in sports history. Tb those who played in the game, it was validation and an opportunity to move on to win an Olympic gold medal. In the United States, hockey has always been last in the line-up of major sports, trailing football, baseball and basketball in popularity. But, for a few days in Lake Placid 24 years ago, it was suddenly, briefly bigger than all three combined. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community is showing “Miracle” at The Theatre in Little Washington on Friday, July 2 at 8 p.m. Directed by Gavin O’Connor (“Tumbleweeds”) and written by newcomer Eric Guggenheim, “Miracle” focuses on the tireless efforts of University of Minnesota coach Herb Brooks (Kurt Russell) to recruit and shape collegiate players into a cohesive unit. Brooks has a burning desire to lead Tbam USA to an Olympic victory. Most of his players are either anonymous or identifiable only by a trait or two. They include goal tender Jim Craig (Eddie Cahill), who plays to honor his recently deceased mother; team captain Mike Eruzione (Patrick O’Brien Demsey), who is in danger of being the last man cut from the squad; and hotshot Jack Photo courtesy/Walt Disney Pictures FRIDAY NIGHT MOVIE: Jim Craig (Eddie Cahill, left) and captain Mike Eruzione (Patrick O'Brien Demsey, right), along with their Team USA teammates, are ready to face the Russians in 'Miracle.'The suspenseful movie will be shown at The Theatre in Washington July 2 at 8 p.m. O’Callahan (Michael Mantenuto). Then there’s assistant coach Craig Patrick (Noah Emmerich), who is tom between loyalty to Brooks'and compassion for the boys. After years of being embarrassed by the bigger, stronger, better Russian team, Brooks sets out to push his young players to the top edge of their abilities and take a powerful slapshot at the Gold. You will remember that 1979 and early 1980 were grim times. The Cold See MOVIE, Page B2

Lorien From Page B1 stubborn computer. Her ambition is to publish these as a book with the title “Jewell Hollow Stories" that she describes as “mostly all nature and local folklore." She writes full throttle, without regard to pesky conventions and formalities like grammar and spelhng, and this as much as her choices of words infuses her writing with a raw emotional power. That she is not afraid of errors only contributes to her charm as she flits from the purely poetic to the practical, bouncing her readers along on a country journey that is personal and poetic, jarringly different from almost all other internet prose offerings. “I am a bit illiterate with grammar but I speak from the heart," she said. Indeed, said Ben Mason, a fan from Castleton, “her spelhng and grammar can be atrocious but should not be cleaned up or she might lose the thread of truth and her breathless exuberance.” She will be the first to admit she was not very good in school but she loved poetry, which was “a lifesaver for me from living in southeast Washington, D.C., with five other children (her siblings) in a small house.” Tbday, sitting in her modest creekside cabin, with knotty pine paneling and bare timbers ceihng, she gets up from a sofa, the one near a small fireplace stove, framed by antique prints of fairies, and brings back leather-bound copies of Wordsworth’s poetry, and of other of her favorite poets— mostly the English Romantics. She is a slim woman with long dark hair, a shy smile, and one suspects, a wild exuberance. She sometimes ponders her words before speaking and just An excerpt from Joy Lorien's writings I surely live in a Zen state here on the west side of the Blue Ridge in a sweet place called Jewell Hollow and as I was sitting out on the porch reading yesterday, a red pileated woodpecker, who lives in the neighborhood, flew in singing loudly for all to hear and began pecking on a dead hemlock tree. What a wonderful site as I saw it again this morning pecking away at the dead trees. The hummingbirds returned as did our friendly neighborhood bear. It was frolicking on our neighbors’rocks yet some have complained its getting a little pesky turning over pots and things. Duke my dog seems to distract it from here. Spring is just arriving on top of the Drive and it is a breathtaking site to go up there after it rains and see the blue skies and light green energy emerging everywhere eclipsing somewhat the darkness of the burnt forest. About three miles up there is a field of fiddlestick ferns that are awesome to watch unfurl and the azaleas are just emerging. I got my first picture of that elusive yellow lady slipper though they are probably finishing up their dance by now. The face of Stonyman as you first approach it stands ablaze with that new green growth and her sentinels stand proudly overlooking the valley. Old Rag has got that golden glow right now but is quickly peaking as the greening spreads upward. Bears seem abundant this year and I got a picture of some cubs up a tree looking for their mother as she hid behind a tree somewhat up the road. Pregnant deers and little fawns seem to be everywhere. The bucks are just emerging with their little velvet horns and an occasional bobcat has crossed my path. The loss of the Mountain Laurel blooming this year will be missed yet some may make a showing. as often blurts out what is on her mind. She advises those who spend too much time reading to “rent your books and let experience take over, but put the two together, and you really have something.” She put away her poetry books as a younger woman of 17 and ran away from home— “not the easiest lifestyle” and “a dysfunctional family, I guess you would say.” She became a lifestyle hippie who never subscribed to the counter culture’s music, she said, and has “always been on the outskirts, a loner.” She ended up a year later in Luray and fell into religion. The minister at the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church one day declared her “saved,” and the church fathers were impressed with her devotion and sent her at 19 to the Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Mo., where she found “a room of her own” in which she learned to love learning. “I was saved from sin by Jesus and what he did on the cross and his blood,” she said. “I still have a deep love of Christ.” She never stopped studying, and her studies took her on a tour of the spiritual, which led her to a present interest in the I Ching and her favorite book, Richard Wilhelm’s “Book of Changes.” If she had to choose, she says she feels closest to a Taoist, of all the religions she knows, from Kabala to Buddhism. “It all works out to the good, and it all has a purpose,” she said. She married and settled down in Luray, raised three children who are now grown. But seven years ago when divorce rocked her world, she went through what she describes as “a black night of the soul, those dregs of the dark night” She retreated to Jewell Hollow, living in a small cabin and working as a hostess and waitress at Skyland Lodge, as she has done off and on for 20 years. She struggled with depression and said, “I almost lost my life to those dregs and dark years (after the divorce).” But one day in winter near tlje end of three difficult years, she got lost, and found herself, she said. Literally, she got lost along the Hazel River. “Dark was descending quickly and I iost the path, traveled here and there, and ended up in a part of the mountains where you could hear water running through the roots of big trees.” She knew she would come out of the lost night either a madman or a poet, she said. “A buck did a semi-circle around me snorting the whole time and then a long hoot of an owl caused me to lower my head to my knees for I did not want to become owl food to a huge owl that night.” She asked, after she had walked to safety, “Did I return from my experience a madwoman or poet? Time will tell.” Now she can say, “I am so much more than I would have been without that dark night.” She has found for herself “a fiery animation” and she fives for the joys of every day and feels sad for those who wait and forego pleasure for the joys of heaven. She said she had found “salvation through nature on a divine level.” She has had several names, a married one and a single one and one she gave herself. But she has through it all kept the one that really matters: Joy. Movie From Page B1 War was frigid, with the Russians having invaded Afghanistan. The U.S. Embassy fell to Iranian fundamentalists, leading to the most public hostage crisis in recent memory. Gas shortages resulted in astronomical prices and long lines. The economy was in bad shape, with “stagflation” causing job losses and double-digit interest rates. ^. Jimmy Carter’s presidency was in trouble and the whole world seemed to be close to the brink. Then came the Miracle on Ice, and, to those in the West, it was like a beacon in the night. The Russians were unbeatable, but indeed Team USA defeated them. A reasonably straightforward re-telling of how the team was assembled, polished and pushed into battle under Brooks, “Miracle” ends with a 20-minute recreation of the classic game, complete with audio excerpts of the original broad cast by A1 Michaels (with his famous call “Do you believe in miracles? Yes!” included). Director Gavin O’Connor’s recreation of the climactic game is masterful. He successfully builds suspense and generates a rousing conclusion even when we know beforehand what’s coming. Russell immerses himself completely in this role, so much so that all we see is Brooks. Russell doesn’t look like his cinematic alter-ego. It’s his acting that convinces us. The filmmakers cast (for the most part) real hockey players (even from the same geographic regions as the actual Olympians) to act in the film. In fact, Buzz Schneider is played by Bill Schneider (Buzz’s son). There’s no need to understand hockey to appreciate the film; it has universal appeal. “Miracle” is inspirational and uplifting, qualities we are as much in need of today as we were during the winter of 1980. The film is rated PG, has some brief fights, bloodied noses and mild profanity. Run time is 135 minutes. 5s. Brookside Restaurant & Gift Shop U S. 211 E.

Residents, business owners sign letter to stop speeding Thirteen residents and business owners of Little Washington support a second speeding survey and signed a letter to that effect which has gone to an official of the Virginia Department of Transportation in Warrenton, Garrett Moore. The letter was the idea of Heritage House Bed and Breakfast owner Michelle Schwartz who took it around town gathering signatures from residents concerned about speeding in the town. The letter followed action by town officials who sought Washington i Clarissa Pintado ‘ 675-3395 1 aquariss@aol.com another survey from VDOT. VDOT has agreed to administer a survey.

In other news, nationally known columnist James J.

In celebration of their anniversary they dined at (you guessed it) the Inn at Little Washington. Fairlea Farm Bed and Breakfast acquired two lambs this week.
