By 10:45, after being discovered on the school’s voice mail, school officials had notified authorities. With procedures developed last November in the event of a crisis situation such as a bomb threat, the school was swiftly evacuated. “During the drill the students were very well behaved,” said school principal Roger Mello. The Sheriff's office was immediately contacted and together with the Virginia State Police and Culpeper police converged upon the site with bomb sniffing dogs. “We appreciate that the Sheriff’s Office was so quick in responding,” said superintendent of schools Bob Chappell. “It enabled them to start an investigation and secure the building.” Chappell went on to say that the Sheriff’s Office was able to learn pertinent facts in a matter of minutes which contributed to the apprehension of the perpetrators. “We realise we should have dialed 911 to activate both the law enforcement and emergency fire and rescue See BOMB, Page A3 I"" 1 .. — i Meetings • On Thursday, March 10 The Washington Architectural Review Board (ARB) will meet at 7:30 at the Town Hall on Gay Street.

Rappahannock County High School brought back two All-State wrestlers from Salem, Va., with 145-pounder Dos Allen clinching the title as a state runner-up. As the lights dimmed on • Saturday night in the Salem Civic . Center arena, opponents lined up across the mat, face-to-face, each prepared for one thing only— a state championship. With his feet in constant motion, the smile on Allen’s faces, was unmistakable—this privilege was the thrill of a lifetime for the RCHS junior. Allen’s record speaks for itself, 41-4, third in the Bull Run District, third in Region B and sixth in the state last season. His opponent, Jeff Musterman of Strasburg, has been a thorn in the side of the Rapp grappler. The last time they met on the mat resulted in a 7-0 loss for Allen. See WRESTLE, Page A7 Board of Supervisors enter Flatwood Road agreement By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer A road maintenance agreement which was requested in 2002 has finally been signed and approved by the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors this week. The delay in signing the agreement, which includes property owned by Rappahannock County off Flatwood Road in Washington, came when landowners off the road failed to sign the original agreement three years ago after being prepared by Peter Luke, commonwealth attorney. However, two of the original petitioners have now agreed to sign an updated agreement to establish a public road for their own personal convenience. Dudley B. and Geraldine L. Freeman and Adrian Freeman have agreed to construct a public road over land that Rappahannock County currently holds title to, allowing access from tax map parcels 28-34 and 28-34A to Rock Mills Road, by way of Flatwood Road. In making this agreement with the county, the landowners will be responsible not only for construction, but also for all future maintenance of the county-owned property. According to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, stipulation has been made that the Freemans have one year from the date of signing to begin construction of the road, and will need to have construction completed within two years. Upon entering the ordinance with the county, the other original landowners, who are family members of the Freemans, were present for the public comment portion, as well as Washington resident Monira Rifaat. Rifa&t, who lives across the Covington River which is across the road from the area, asked if there were plans to subdivide the property. County administrator John McCarthy advised that the property is already subdivided into small lots, less than 25 acres. Those family members, none of whom gave their names to the board, remained silent during the See BOARD, Page A3 Photo Courtesy of Kathie Russo YOUNG ARTIST: Sam Nolan, Wakefield Country Day School third grader, shared the Best in Show purple ribbon for his portrait of a youthful George in the Rappahannock County Library’s ‘By George It’s Washington’s Birthday” Art and Writing show.

Rifaat named Outstanding Forage Producer of the Year Kenner Love Special Ui Rappahannock News Monira Rifaat of Manor Farm near Sperryville, Va. in Rappahannock County was selected to receive the Outstanding Forage Producer of the Year by the Virginia Forage and Grasslands Council and Virginia Cooperative Extension. The award is presented to producers who demonstrate innovative forage management techniques, who excel at the use of conservation practices that protect water quality, and who demonstrate economically proven forage production methods. Rifaat is continually striving to achieve quality forage production because it enhances animal performance and makes good financial sense In the early 1980s, she installed a rotational grazing system on her farm which enables her to systematically move animals to areas where they can take advantage of the most nutritious lorage.

Winter athletes honored By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Proud parents and athletes packed into the Rappahannock County high school auditorium last week, anxiously awaiting the award of honors from the winter sports season. The school’s athletic director, J.D. Almond opened the presentation, representing the girls’ basketball program as head varsity coach. Almond praised his team for pulling together this season and for the growth the team has sustained. “We jokingly had one goal this season and we reached that goal,” Almond laughed, “we got one more win than the boys’ (basketball team) did.” Almond placed the task of narrowing down candidates for Most Valuable Player to his team, and their choice was junior Courtney Hutcheson. “She showed up for every game and led the team in points and field goals,” the coach praised. As for the Coach’s Choice award, Almond’s pick was jumoi Noel Johns. “Everyone on the team worked hard, but this award definitely has to go to Noel,” Almond said. The girls’junior varsity basketball team was coached by Stefanie Shaw this season, earning a 12-9 record. “The recipient of my Most Valuable Player award works hard on and off the court,” Shaw said as she presented eighth grader Ella Miller a trophy. Shaw continued as she presented Emily Carter, also an eighth grader the Coach’s Choice award. “She (Carter) is so coachable, and also has the highest grade point average on the team,” Shaw said, “she has such a strong character and determination.” As for the girls’ Junior Panther basketball team, coach Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jeanne Spath STUNT PREP: RCHS winter award winners from the cheer team prepare for a stunt.

Tiffany Keys stepped in for the final three weeks of the season in the absence of a coach for the team. As her Most Valuable Player, Keys praised Kara Corbin as being, “a true leader, having fought each challenge she faced.” For the Coach’s Choice award, Claire Stinnett was chosen, having shown the most improvement during Keys’ time as the team’s coach. Boys* basketball Presenting boys’ varsity basketball honors was head coach Tbussaint Summers. Summers said that the number one goal he had for his team this past season was to work on fundamentals and was pleased to say that by the end of the season, that goal was accomplished.

Thus, his Most Valuable Player award went to a player who, “stuck through it during the tough times and the good times. He was the reason Rappahannock had a basketball team this year,” Summers boasted. The honor was presented to Rapp senior Paige Payne. As for Summer’s Coach’s Choice award, Tymeyer Freeman, also a senior, was chosen. Freeman, a first year basketball player, was praised by Summers, *lie is a great student, a great athlete and he worked hard this year to learn all he could about the game.” Summers congratulated one of his players, Jacob Dodson, for setting a new Rappahannock County High School single game scoring record with 42 points being scored against Manassas Park during a regular season contest last month. Dodson’s record overcame the 32 points in a single game record that was set in 1999 by Daniel Settle against Clarke County High School. Coach Judd Hanberry presented his Coach’s Choice award for the boys’junior varsity basketball team to eighth grader Chase Tupper for his, “mental toughness and stepping out against older, faster people.” Hanberry’s Most Valuable Player award was presented to Travis Jenkins. “He (Jenkins) had all the GIRLS’ BASKETBALL: Winter sports award winners for girts’ basketball were from left: Noel Johns, Courtney Hutcheson, Kara Corbin, Emily Carter and Ella Miller.

Hogan praised Daniel Rollins for 84 points being scored this season, most while being double-teamed by the opponents. Rollins was named Most Valuable Player for the team. As for his Coach’s Choice award, Hogan honored Steven Dodson, saying, “he is just a great kid all around.” Cheers With the cheerleading season drawing to a close, coach Bonnie Pullin honored both the boys and the girls on her team. The girls’ varsity Most Valuable Player award was given to senior Kelsey Hutcheson with Pullin noting that she will be greatly missed next season on the team. The boys’ varsity Most Valuable Player award was presented to Hutcheson’s stunt partner, Cody Voorhies.

In the junior varsity cheer program, Pullin awarded the Most Valuable Player award to Helen Hutcheson “She stepped up and has done anything I asked her to do,” Pullin praised. The Coach’s Choice award weiit to sophomore Lauren Foster. Wrestling Coach Eric Spath spoke to the audience about how this sport is individual as well as a team sport and that he was proud to have three members of his team representing the school in state competition this week. Dos Allen, Isaac Raney and Alex Sharp all placed as statequalifiers, representing Rappahannock County High School in the state tournament in Salem, Va. While Spath followed suit in naming a Most Valuable Player, he also stressed that wrestling is not a sport that is played, saying, “in this sport we do not ‘play1 anything, we wrestle.” The honor of that award was presented to junior Dos Allen, having a season record of 39-3 with 24 pins and 75 career wins. Spath’s Coach’s Choice award was presented to senior Johnathan Miller. “Heart—that is one thing you have to have in this sport and he (Miller) had that,” Spath said, wiping a tear as he added that the senior will be missed on the team next year. For the Junior Panther wrestling team, coach Hodge Miller presented his Most Valuable Player award to Jeremy Diley, an eighth grader, who, according to Miller, “with a 9-1 season record, was constantly giving up 70-80 pounds and kept wrestling with a great work ethic.” As his Coach’s Choice, Miller presented the award to Austin Burnett. “He (Burnett) was always at practice, always had a smile and gave everything he had to give,” Miller praised.

Board From Page A1 public forum. Board of Supervisor chairman Charles K. “Pete” Estes asked repeatedly if there were comments to be made. , Hearing none, Estes closed the public forum and began discussion among the board. Supervisor Roger A. Welch of Wakefield District expressed his disappointment over the lack of signatures by those original applicants. At that point, members of the Freeman family began arguing with the board, many talking at once making it difficult for the board to address their complaints. However, the overall view of the Freeman family was that their road had been abandoned and they did not wish to sign a document forcing them to maintain a road for public use with private funds. Members of the board attempted to explain that the road was abandoned due to lack of use, with all of the family members except Dudley Freeman walking out of the meeting. Discussion continued among board members, with Luke explaining that, “maintenance on the road was discontinued in 1929 and it was obvious in aerial photos that no one had been down the road in decades.” McCarthy advised the Board that, “Rock Mills Road was abandoned and even if it had remained a public road, the landowners would still have to maintain it.” With the ordinance still on the table with two Freeman signatures intact, the board voted unanimously to approve the ordinance to establish a public road. Ronald Frazier of Jackson District was not in attendance at the meeting and not available for the vote. “Obviously others are not happy,” said Dudley Freeman, “but I am satisfied.” Aileen property resolution A non-assignable Contract of Sale of Real Estate has been signed by the county and M.T. Puskar Construction Company, Inc of Alexandria, and by resolution, a deed conveying the property has added signature by M.T. Puskar Company, LLC, a Virginia Limited Liability Company for the purchase of the Aileen property in Flint Hill. Resolutions made by the contract include M.T. Puskar being “responsible for any environmental remediation which may become necessary because of contamination of the property...” as well as the addition of the LLC. “Their attorney requested the property be titled as a limited liability company due to tax purposes,” Luke explained to the board. The environmental resolution stems from gross land contamination that occurred when the facility was used for clothing manufacture. The Department for Environmental Quality (DEQ) has closely monitored the condition of the land surrounding the building and will continue to do so until the ground is clear of the contamination. Luke advised that during the real estate closing a note for $520,000 has been prepared for signature at a four percent interest rate. This contract of sale and resolution was voted upon by the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors. A unanimous vote was made to approve the sale in the absence of Frazier. Wastewater permit In a letter received by the county, dated Feb. 18, 2005, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) advised that the Ibwn of Washington has applied for a Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) permit. The town’s application “proposes to discharge treated waste water from a municipal sewage treatment plant located south of Route 522.” However, in recent meetings with the Tbwn Council, no location of a facility has been planned. “There has been no determination at this time for placement of a facility,” stressed Tbwn of Washington mayor, Eugene Leggett. “We had to specify a point on the application.” Leggett also pointed out that discharge into the Rush River is only one alternative and at this time, council’s options are wide open. wue uuiei upuuii umi lias been discussed by council is drip irrigation, which according to Leggett, “is fairly expensive.” Therefore, Ibwn Council has made this application to the DEQ, the first step toward preliminary decisions to find remedies for the town residents ongoing sewage problems. According to the letter, the DEQ will review the application and may draft a permit for discharge(s). Upon a draft permit being issued, a public notice will be made in the Rappahannock News, announcing the intent to issue a permit. At the same time, the public will be invited to a public comment forum, which will be open for 30 days. Spealdng in opposition to a waste water facility discharge into the Rush River at the Board of Supervisor’s meeting was Jonas Jenkins of Washington. Jenkins voiced his concerns. “Here we are expecting farmers to keep their cattle out of the waterways and now they want to dump waste into it. It doesn’t make sense.” Members of the board advised that there is not currently any action pending with the county on this issue, that they have simply received this letter from the DEQ. Upping the ante Local signs are still missing but the reward money has increased. Phil Irwin of Flint Hill informed the board that Crimesolvers originally offered $750 for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons who stole two signs on Fodderstack Road and one on Crest Hill Road. Due to donations to the Crimesolver program, the reward now totals $2,000. New VDOT resident engineer County Administrator John McCarthy introduced the Rappahannock-Fauquier Virginia Department of Transportation resident engineer to the Board of Supervisors, Dave Cubbage. Cubbage spoke briefly to the VDOT projects which are ongoing and proposed in Rappahannock County. Current!y, bridges located on Route 600 in Sperryville and Route 619, also known as Lizzie Mills Road are on schedule for renovation. Cubbage also told the board that future plans have been made to replace the guard rail from the top of Skyline Drive down to Sperryville, Rt. 211, with rustic rail. Rustic rail is weathered steel, which is consistent with what VDOT plans to put throughout Rappahannock County. Also concerning Skyline Drive, McCarthy presented a proposal to the board regarding the designation of Skyline Drive becoming an All American Road by the Federal Highway Administration. This designation would encourage tourism on Skyline Drive, which would also encourage tourism in Rappahannock County and would also allow the Shenandoah National Park to receive federal finding for the roadway. In an unanimous vote by the present board members, the Board of Supervisors encouraged VDOT to endorse the; SkylineDrive’s nomination. Rappahannock Athletic Association Supervisor Bryant Lee of Hampton District made a motion for the board to approve appropriation of $1,275 for a 70 ft. batting cage to be installed for youth baseball in Amissville. Lee advised that the Rappahannock Athletic Association has held various fundraisers to construct one batting cage, but would like two at the facility. The board voted unanimously to appropriate the funds for the construction of one batting cage. Once again, Frazier was not in attendance for the vote. Bomb From Page A1 responses and we will in the future,” Chappell said. In the more than 10 years that Chappell has been familiar with the Rappahannock County school system, this was only the second time that he can recall the system dealing with a bomb threat. With multiple juveniles identified, Sheriff Larry Sherertz said. “We are pleased with how quickly we reacted and worked with the school to restore confidence that there was not a bad situation in the school.” Students were soon allowed into the gym. According to Chappell, the State Police, Sheriff’s Department, personnel, and school administrators at the scene agreed to the following procedure. Dogs, officers and school administrators would search the gym area first, followed by the commons area, then the remainder of the building. People would gradually re-occupy the portions of the building that had been cleared. The State Police officer on the scene said that many schools, depending on the situation, opt not to evacuate for bomb threats. “The Rappahannock County schools will continue to take threats seriously and to take firm action with perpetrators,” said Chappell. By 12:15 the whole area was deemed clear and Roger Mello quickly addressed the students to inform them of the situation. “We will all now sit down as a school staff and discuss our experiences with the drill; both what we did well and what we can improve. I was proud of the manner in which the students and staff worked together to make the best of a bad situation,’’ said Mello. At 12:30 p.m.. first lunch began after which students were sent to their third period classes. “Our feeling is that we want to get back to the educational process,” said Chappell. It is a felony to threaten the burning or bombing of a building. The minimum penalty for an adult is one year in prison. Juveniles are placed into the hands of a Juvenile Court. Any students involved in the Feb. 23 threat will also be held accountable to the Rappahannock County School Board’s Code of Student Conduct. “We are delighted that charges are pending." expressed Chappell. The threat came directly over the phone to the high school. “Sound investigative techniques brought us to a successful conclusion,” said Sherertz, “everyone who worked on this case contributed. It was a team effort.” * Chappell explained that it is impossible to defend against a situation such as this, but said he felt hopeful that the impending charges would impact people and deter future threats. Looking back on the episode Chappell stated. “The high school administration and I talked about procedures following the evacuation and have decided to evacuate students and staff to an area further from the building in the future.” Situations such as this waste taxpayer dollars, student class time and the time of law enforcement officials, school staff and administrators. Charges are still pending for several Rappahannock County high school juveniles.

Taken to the Supreme Court, a decision by that court will now open up potential development to a future 50,000 or more homes. So much for keeping a lid on sprawl and lamentingly perhaps by a “technicality.” These are hard lessons but for a county like Rappahannock who has not experienced the explosive growth that is happening just a few counties away it is a lesson to be learned. Keeping and maintaining a position of slow, smart growth, preservation and a hard line on unwanted development, traffic congestion and bottom line—a fundamental change in how you choose to live and what you choose to see as you go about your daily business is a community challenge. It will require that the citizenry of Rappahannock County stand behind and elect government officials that share their vision. While there is a great deal of sanctuary sentiment that is alive and well in Rappahannock, it is imperative that being comfortable doesn’t slide into apathy, indifference and taking for granted what has been a mainstay 1 in this county for decades—privacy, preservation, volunteerism and an embracing of values that is truly unique and applauable. Recently, the Board of Supervisors in Fauquier County solicited the citizens there to send in a new slogan to put on their signage as you enter the county. One humorous suggestion that surfaced was “Welcome to Fauquier County—Gateway to Culpeper.” Development in Fauquier County continues to spread faster than the infrastructure can keep up with it. Currently, it is predominately in the eastern and southern parts of the county. Without an efficient water/sewer system, the northern end has remained relatively untouched. Within a few years, as you head west out of Fauquier with whatever development happens in that area it could well be a smooth transition right into another development—Clevenger’s Comer in Culpeper County. So much for the gateway idea and traveling through—that’s not possible now as there is too much traffic to navigate. Telephones, trauma and a bomb threat Rappahannock County high school recently received a bomb threat, the students were evacuated and school and county officials acted promptly to safeguard the school. All is well now but what a shame that valuable time and resources were redirected even for a few hours. The perpetrators have been identified as students and appropriate action will be taken against them. Ever since the terrorism attacks of 9/11 rocked this country and shattered our sense of safety in a horrifying way, threats of any kind are not taken lightly. When you are talking about the potential loss of life, injury and impact on a community that an actual bomb could cause, it is an even greater shame that it would be threatened by a thoughtless act when the consequences could be so significant. What a shame. Meet the editor Any one for coffee and donuts? The editor of the Rappahannock News had the good opportunity recently to meet casually with a group of citizens who freely shared their comments about the newspaper. The gathering was so successful and informative that this editor has decided to do it on a regular basis. Stay tuned for future invitations to the RappNews Coffee Club, OUT OF THE ATTIC: A Red Cross “Donut Dolly” serves her sugary fare to American GIs on a train returning from German POW camps that were liberated by the Russians. The headline on the newspaper on the lap of the soldier in the foreground reads: “NINTH TAKES LEAD IN RACE TO BERLIN,” a reference to the 9th U.S. Army being at the head of the American advance into Germany. The Russians would capture Berlin less than a month later. ACME News photo dated April 9,1945. This is the original recipe for the Red Cross Donuts. They are shown in the photo being served to American GI's during World War II. The recipe is courtesy of Thomas B. Goehner, Director of Museum Education, at the American Red Cross Museum Red Cross Donuts IVi cups sifted flour Vi tsp. ginger Vi tsp. baking soda Vi cup molasses Vi tsp. salt Vi cup sour milk Vi tsp. butter or substitute, melted 1 egg, well beaten Combine half of the flour with the soda, salt, and ginger. Combine egg, molasses, sour milk, and melted butter or substitute. Blend with flour mixture and stir until thoroughly mixed and smooth. Add remaining flour to make dough of sufficient body to be rolled. Roll, on floured board, to thickness of V* inch. Cut with donut cutter. Fry in deep hot fat (360 degrees) until lightly ' browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on brown paper. Letters Bomb threat not to be taken lightly Last week I was so gratified t© have my local newspaper define for me what is newsworthy—a front page article about a local restaurant hiring a new chef who was a graduate of the local high school—as opposed to what is not—a bomb threat at that same high school rated two sentences in the police report. When I, as a parent, went to the high school to find out when the public meeting about the incident was going to be held, I was led to believe one wasn’t necessary because the three or four paragraph notice the school sent home (which not all students received) and an article in the upcoming Rappahannock News (last week) should answer all my questions. However, I still have many including: Why wasn’t fire and rescue involved? Who better to deal with the aftermath of an explosion? Who has a better working knowledge of what happens to a building when its structure is compromised? Why weren’t students bussed to a safer location, for example, the elementary school? There were two busses and at least three drivers at the scene. Why was everyone allowed back in the building before the entire building had been cleared? Why did no one seem to mind that the evacuated students were standing in a corner with a solid brick wall on one side and glass windows all along the other? I guess those are my major concerns, although I still have other questions. It appears to me that some of the action was taken based on an assumption at the very least as to the size and construction of a possible bomb, perhaps on an assumption of the non-existence of a bomb. Taking into account recent events in this country and the world as well as the information any high-schooler (and probably grade-schooler) can access on the net, I think the above were dangerous assumptions to make. I find it difficult to believe that I am the only person in the county with questions and concerns about this situation, but, if so I’ll just have to get in touch with the officials involved and try to get some definite answers. If you’re not satisfied with the information you’ve received, I suggest you do the same. Sherry Hamill-Huff Flint Hill Local resident fears losing her rights I was pleased to see the issue of raw milk surfacing last week in our Rappahannock News as well as the article on the imposed legislation limiting our access to the product itself. I do feel, however, that the impact of losing our rights to ' use traditional foods was not expressed in the article. This is an issue of civil rights and freedom of choice. In this light I hope that people will re-read the articles and follow the links to the use of raw milk and ponder what another govemme. t regulation could mean to them, personally. Surely people get VERY heated when the right to bear arms issue is raised. This is one way I protect myself and my family—by using traditional foods. Have we lost all connection to and understanding of tradi tional foods? How does a small farmer continue in his life’s purpose with such regulations and limitations? How does our farmland survive without being used creatively to support community? How does the American family heal and empower itself? The right to buy and use raw milk, and the responsibility to understand how to use it safely is not something I want any politician in Richmond to decide for me. I am not a farmer. I will not have a family cow in this lifetime. But I will avidly support a family farm that offers me clean, pure and healthy raw milk. I have a healthy fear of my individual right to choose being thwarted in any way. Barbara Sherwood Washington, VA Planning to return home I .would like compliment Trish Bartholomew for her letter of February 24, and its insight on why Rappahannock is so wonderful and special. I grew up in Rappahannock County, but it took leaving, and passage of much time before I became aware of that. I was fortunate to be able to spend Christmas in Rappahannock, for the first time in over two decades. Now I know I want to return permanently and fervently hope that I can make that happen sooner rather than later. Rappahannock, my once and future home, I often find myself singing along with John Denvers “Take Me Home,Country Roads, and changing the West Virginia names to Rappahannock and places in it, like my beloved Gid Brown Hollow. As I sit here writing this, I know spring will soon be coming to the county with all its loveliness. Some day I will greet it there Patrick Alther Charlottesville, Va Letters to the Editor We welcome your opinions and comments.

Opinion NOW is on the wrong side of the Social Security debate The National Organization of Women (NOW) recently denounced President Bush’s proposal to reform Social Security by giving workers the option of diverting a percentage of their taxes into personal retirement accounts. In a statement on the issue, NOW President Kim Gandy makes more erroneous assertions than I can list in one article, but let’s juxtapose some of her rhetoric with reality. First, Gandy asserts that “Women are more vulnerable to the reduction in benefits that will accompany privatization, because we have smaller benefits to begin with, and...are less likely...to have a pension or other means to supplement those reduced benefits.” Leaving aside the glaring failure to explain how women or anyone else wifi deal with the “reduction in benefits” from Social Security’s The Forum I Lisa De Pasquale insolvency by failing to reform the system, her statement is flatly untrue. While there might be fewer women in the workplace, the numbers are leveling out as women become better educated. Financial and social shifts have placed women’s fortunes in their own hands. Next, she asserts that “the stock market always creates winners and losers, and women will end up on the losing end when Social Security falls prey to the... inevitable bust of the stock market.” First of all, the stock market doesn’t “create” anything — people create their fate with the stock market, which is the whole point. If NOW wants to empower women, they would support real choice — my choice to allocate my retirement funds as I see fit. As a woman, I also can’t help but want clarification from Gandy on how exactly I would automatically be “on the losing end.” Is it because I can’t do the math involved or make the right choice? Because I assure you that I and many other women can. Besides, the American economy has consistently expanded. Language of an “inevitable bust” is unfounded and without factual standing. The “bottom line” according to Gandy: “If you're a woman, you're being asked to take your money out of a system that offers guaranteed retirement, disability and survivor benefits, and move it into a priva tized system that will discriminates against you...because you are female.” Exactly the opposite i^ true. The Social Security system does not offer a guaranteed retirement. Congress may reduce or cancel benefits at any time. Social Security’s only guarantee right now is insolvency. Under the proposed plan, women will gain the opportunity to control their own financial futures, which recent polls show younger workers of both gen- ' ders and all races favor. What is NOWs prescription for Social Security’s ailment? If you guessed the standard leftist answer—increased taxes and more government— you’re right. NOW proposes new pay-outs geared directly to certain categories of women. Funding Social Security’s existing obligations plus new < spending would involve increasing payroll taxes and expanding the taxable wage base. According to NOW, the increase would be small, and would not depress economic growth. Once again, there is simply no way to support these statements. It is elementary economics that taxes depress economic activity. Notwithstanding the clatter from NOW and other leftist groups, personal retirement accounts provide American women and minorities an opportunity for increased financial independence and retirement security. NOW purports to speak on behalf of women and minorities, but how can they square that claim with their direct opposition to financial freedom for those vqry groups? No one has proposed any measures that would harm women or minorities. On the contrary, personal accounts provide an opportunity for greater retirement wealth that could be passed on to loved ones. Moreover, women and minorities favor establishing personal accounts. If NOW respects their constituents’ abilities to make their own choices (i.e. “pro-choice”), logic demands that they support personal accounts. But thenreal objective seems to be increased government control. As usual, these leftists advocate policies that would positively harm those they claim to represent. More of the same will not do the job. The current system must be revamped to make retirement a better deal for women and minorities, and personal accounts are a step in the right direction.

School Board already making plans for next year By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County School Board gathered on Tuesday evening for their monthly meeting. Graduation slated for June 10 Altering the calendar for the 2005-2006 school year was one of the topics of discussion. Superintendent of schools Bob Chappell recommended that spring break be shortened by three days, allowing for school to commence earlier and graduation to take place June 10. However, an event that could warrant a change in graduation would be if one of the RCHS teams made it to state finals, which also take place June 10. Chappell suggested that when graduation invitations are sent out a note will be inserted stating that should a team make it to finals, graduation will be moved to the afternoon of June 11. While there was some concern about friends and family making traveling plans, and about the fact that the school will not know if they have to make the change until the evening of June 9, the board unanimously voted to accept the changes. Earlier schedules Another topic of interest was a report given by Roger Mello, principal of Rappahannock high school, on the Programs of Study in which he informed the board that he hoped to get schedules for the upcoming school year into students’ hands as early as possible. Mello then went on to illustrate the process of compiling schedules to the board. The school’s guidance counselors hold assemblies with students according to grade levels in which they discuss graduation requirements for different diplomas. Students are then given course selection sheets which they fill out with the help of parents. Once completed, students and guidance counselors discuss the choices made and the information is entered into the computer system which compiles the master schedule. Mello said that they are usually able to work through most conflicts and there have only been a few students who have not been able to take all the classes they desired. School Board member Rosa Crocker said. “I appreciate how difficult scheduling is and I am pleased the school is planning to get them out early.” Strategic , Plan updates Chappell reported on the Strategic Plan updates during which he reiterated his commitment to the school’s staff, saying, “our people come before our buildings.” He also informed the board on the implementation of the Cambridge program, saying payments would soon have to be made for. teacher training as well as a Cambridge center fee. “This program is not just for honors students, it’s for just about everyone,” said Chappell who emphasized how beneficial, he thought the program would be for students. Many were present for public comment and Bob Lander of the Stonewall/ Hampton district took the stand first. He came on behalf of the Scrabble School Foundation, an organization dedicated to preserving the Scrabble School for its historic value. Lander stated the group wanted people to acknowledge and help what they (the Foundation) are doing. “We are a grassroots organization putting this school back together,” said Lander. Lori Dore of Jackson district spoke in favor of the school’s Curriculum Enrichment Program, saying colleges are looking for well-rounded students. Robyn Jeanniton from Hampton district also wanted the board to give extra thought to Tm very proud that I was pun of Fauquier Hospital's Advancing Excellence capital fund raising campaign, and that I helped raise SS.s million so the hospital can continue togrow with our community“ Missy Good MISSY GOOD Missy Good loves working with people As the annual fund manager at Fauquier Hospital, she plans and manages cormhunity awareness events, recognition receptions, business promotions, fund raising events and a variety of other celebrations. She is a public face representing Fauquier Hospital and a known volunteer within the hospital. Good attributes her success to her work attitude. 'A job is not just a job. It's something important you do with your life.” Good adds, 'My job is very rewarding because 1 know I'm doing something for the good of the people in our community. And I consider the people I work with a part of my family ' ' Missy Good has been with the Fauquier Hospital Foundation for two years She lives in Rixeyville with her husband and their two-year old son FAUQUIER HOSPITAL Advanced Can Clost at Hand wwwiauquierhospital.org- Physician Referral & Community Link: 540.349.0588- referral(S)fauquierhospiial.org t_:_•. the enrichment program. She said that she did not think the $1,000 slated for the program was an unreasonable request and that having the privilege of working on the Curriculum Enrichment Committee showed her how diverse the program truly is. Computers on the go One other staff presentation was on the agenda as Amy Gubler, who teaches gifted and talented education, demonstrated to the board the use of the Mobile Computer Carts. The carts contain a number of laptop computers as well as a printer. Gubler explained that pur chased at the end of last year, these carts are a tremendous asset as teachers can check them out and use them in the classroom. Students can explore websites chosen by the teacher and do all kinds of research. Students have recently been using the computers for research papers and science fair projects. “I think you will see more creative products coming out of the students,” said Gubler. Upcoming dates to remember On March 22, starting at 7:30 p.m., there will be a public hearing held in the band room at the high school.

Heading off to college—Next Step By Miranda Hope Special to the Rappahannock News , The former Rappahannock College Access Program (RCAP) office has a new name. After holding a threeweek contest in which we received 30 excellent entries from students grades K through 12, we decided that Justin Gheen’s entry, “Next Step,” fit our mission 1 he best. We are working to help each student take their ‘Next Step’ after Rappahannock High School, be it college, vocational school or career counseling. For his submission, Justin Gheen, a junior, will receive a $200 scholarship to the postsecondary institution of his choice. At this time, Justin has his sights set on Virginia Tech, where he wants to study Mechanical Engineering. To better his chances, Justin is working hard to do well in the hardest math and science classes that RCHS offers. A $50 scholarship prize will also be given to sophomore Thomas Clay Vicars for his entry (which references George Washington on the $1 bill): “WHERE’S GEORGE? Finding the last dollar to fund your college education.” We Miranda Hope will use this great name as the title of a financial aid workshop in the coming months. Clay has his sights set on the Morehead Scholar Program at the University of North Carolina, where he might want to study International Relations. Honorable Mentions: 1st.

School bands have been heating up this winter By Lori Dore Special to the Rappahannock News The winter season for students in the school bands has been exciting. Under the batons of Matthew Yonkey and Lynne Founier, our students began their winter season with the TriCounty Band. This two-day event brings together students from Fauquier, Culpeper and Rappahannock County Bands who work with guest conductors on challenging new music. The following RCHS students participated: Buster Brown, Amanda Frye, Kim Hutcheson, Laura Keller, Mattie Nawrocki, Patrick Treanor, Andrew Treanor, Megan Wheatley, and Matt Wiese. RCES was represented by Cody Casey, Morgan Cloud, Allie Dore , Dana Hockenberry, Taylor Light, Steven Nelson, Huck Pace, Heidi Rechin, Laurel Rothrock, Joslyn Smith, Brittany Stephens, Kristin Taylor, Sarah Wheatley, and Halie Williams. The season continued in January when five high school and three middle school students traveled to Blacksburg for the Virginia Honor Band at Virginia Tech during the snowy weekend of January 21-23. Schools from four states nominated students for Honor Band and the students audition for one of three performance bands. Morgan Cloud, Huck Pace, Heidi Rechin and Megan Wheatley performed in - the Orange Hokie Band, Kelsey O i LITTLE LEAGUE* PACKAGE FOR A LOCATION NEAR YOU CALL: I-800-ASK-M0DELLS Hutcheson and Josh Makela performed in the Maroon Hokie Band and Andrew and Patrick Treanor were in the Gold Hokie Band. “During the concert on Sunday afternoon, the kids performed challenging music with great spirit and enthusiasm. It was amazing, we were so very proud of our students,” said Kathryn Treanor, a chaperone for the weekend. Wrapping up the honors was All-District XIV Honor Band which was held on February 4 and 5 at Millbrook High School. High school students Owen Monroe, Eve Nealon, Andrew Treanor, Patrick Treanor and Megan Wheatley and RCES students Morgan Cloud, Taylor Light, Heidi Rechin, and Kristin Taylor were all chosen through auditions held in the Fall. ’ A new performance group, the RCHS Jazz Ensemble has brought non-band students together with high school and middle school band students. They rehearse on Monday and Wednesday evenings and are looking forward to their first concert appearance on March 10. lne ntils Jazz Combo heats up the winter months performing for a variety of events around the county. The band is composed of 7 students who have worked together for 2 years under the direction of Matt Yonkey, the high school band director. The group performs for civic and private functions, most recently at the Bland Music Contest. For further information about the band program, contact Matt Yonkey at Rappahannock high school.

WCDS girls’ basketball in Delaney Conference By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Wakefield Country Day School girls’ basketball team entered into the first round of Delaney Athletic Conference action, winning their first match-up against Word of Life Academy of Alexandria, 53-40. The Owls got off to an early lead in the first period, outscoring Word of Life by 7. However, the lead narrowed in the second period, the score at halftime leaving WCDS ahead, 23-13. “Caitlin Hammelman had a great game,” said WCDS assistant coach Waymon r Edwards, “I have been waiting for her to break out.” Word of Life broke ahead in the third period, but the effort was not enough to down the Owls. Hammelman, a point guard for WCDS led the team in points, putting up 22 on the game. “She showed sparks in games, but never reached double digits in a game,” Edwards praised, “I knew she had it in her and now I believe she believes.” In the second round of action, third-ranked Seton defeated WCDS, 58-47. “The team fought hard and found themselves down by six late in the fourth quarter,” Edwards said. The Owls trailed in each quarter, unable to defend Seton’s Kelly Koehr who hit double treys in the fourth. Edwards was pleased with the effort made by WCDS as the last meeting with Seton resulted in a 67-11 disaster for the Owls. “The girls definitely came to play today,” he said. Leading scorer for the Owls was Chantel Paul, putting up 23 in the game. In the first round of Virginia Independent Schools state tournament, the Owls lost to Miller School of Charlottesville, 66-36, unable to defend two Lithuania players who scored a combination of 60 points for Miller School. “One girl was 6-feet, 5-inches and had 33 points and their point guard handled the ball and shot as well as a boy,” said Wakefield Country Day School Athletic Director, Mike Kenny. Paul led the Owls’ scoring with nine while Jordan Hammelman added seven. WCDS girls’ basketball finished the season with a 16-10 record.

Students at Rappahannock County Elementary School recently competed in yet another “exciting” contest to see which class could collect the most tab tops (soda can pull tabs) for Jan Makela’s 4th grade “Million Tab Tops Project.” Through this latest contest, students, teachers, family and friends collected over 200 ft. of tab tops which were strung on yam, thread, and clothesline. These 200 ft. of tabs amounted to approximately 100,000 tabs and filled one more 32-gallon trash can. They still need to fill three more cans to reach one million. Contest winners were: Grades K-3-, 'Geraldine Payne’s second grade class, who turned in over 30 ft. of tabs. Grades four to seven Chuck Way’s fourth grade class who collected 29 ft, narrowly edging past Joyce Wharton’s fourth graders with 28 ft. 4 inches. RCES encourages all families and friends to continue to collect and send in their tabs. This project will surely continue through the summer, and we' need everyone to help. Please send yours by any RCES student or mail them to RCES, 4th grade, 34 Schoolhouse Road, Washington, VA 22747. You may also drop them in collection containers at The Country Cafe, Rappahannock National Bank, or Burgers ‘n Things. Once their goal is reached and all RCES students, and their families, are thoroughly aware of just how much one million really is, the tabs will be recycled and the proceeds will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House in Charlottesville. There will, of course, be a big celebration. Wakefield Country Day School— February 21st to March 4, 2005 Wakefield Country Day School students had an extended winter break, when their “Winter Sports Week” had an extra two days added because of the recent snowstorm.

The student who generated the most donations was kindergartener Tatumn Vaught, who raised $225. Over a period of two weeks, WCDS Physical Education teacher Julie Vaught prepared the students for the event, building their jumping endurance from one, to three, and eventually up to five minute increments without a pause. The overall winner of the competition was sixth grader Bret Heddleston, who jumped for eight minutes without missing a beat.

Snow plowers are to be thanked The community has endured a couple of snowstorms lately, with the last one being the most unusual. The media scared everyone badly with heavy predictions of accumulation and the storm turned out to be a light one. My husband Danny would like to report the following concerning the recent snow storms we’ve had. “During the first storm, I had to go to Culpeper for a couple of quick errands. That morning early, the roads weren’t bad at all going toward town, but this changed on my return trip a couple of hours later. There was something very different with this snow . It was very heavy and it consisted of a freezing slush on the road. Coming back trom town, 1 started having a lot of trouble just making headway. I was traveling Rt. 729 and it had not been treated or pushed. Being a fearless snow driver, I tried to keep up a good speed. In just a minute I was over a small bank taking with me a mailbox and a paper box. The owner of the property pulled me out and I paid him for the damage and I was on my way again. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Bledsoe that live near Scotts Store, who helped me. After getting out of the ditch, I struggled for a few more miles on Rt. 729 until I got to the Rappahannock County line where I soon became very relaxed, since the roads were in great shape. I want to thank the VDOT contractor who was responsible for clearing the local roads. I was told by several people that Richard Compton is a large snow removal contractor for Rappahannock County. It did not surprise me that the roads were in this good shape when I heard he was doing this. I also want to say a few words about the drivers of snow plows. My father, Floyd Hitt, operated a trucking business during the 1950s and 1960s and as a child I rode with the drivers occasionally to plow snow in the VlEWTOWN Linda Hitt 937-4221 I 1 Rappahannock County. I remember just a few things that snow plow operators encounter. On any given day or night the snow plow operator has to contend with all sorts of mechanical difficulties. Anything from a frozen fuel filter to a broken chain will have the driver stopped and working outside in the falling snow making repairs. ine plow truck can spin out sideways on a small country road with a bank in front and a large ditch in the back (usually, this happens in the middle of nowhere, with no one around for miles). The most dangerous situation in my opinion, is the fatigue factor. Snow plows operate in lower gears as they push the snow. The steady pitch of the engine and the monotony of driving 30 milesan-hour for hours will make the operator very sleepy at the wheel. Lee Whorton, who drove for my father for many years, told me once that to Siod off” while pushing snow is a most terrifying situation. He told me that “when you jerked your head back from nodding, the sight of blowing snow and that split second of not knowing what's going on, would scare you to stay awake for the rest of the night.” The Viewtown community thanks these individuals. William Printz is still recovering at home, having recently suffered a setback with his health. Mrs. Pat Ashley has been in the Fauquier Hospital for over a week. She is very ill and we encourage everyone to pray for her. Forest Grove Church is making preparations for the traditional annual Easter breakfast at the Forest Grove School.

During Agricultural Safety Awareness Week, March 6-12, the Virginia Farm Bureau will be urging all Virginia farm families to take time to review their safety practices and look for other ways to ensure a safe spring, summer and harvest this year. Here are some tips to start with, make sure all the safety features on your farm equipment are in good condition, review with your family and employees what everyone should do in an emergency, make sure to keep your mind on the job at hand, one job at a time, and take enough breaks to make sure you stay alert and focused. And it never hurts for everyone on the farm to communicate where they are going and when they expect to be home. These tips can be used for everyday safety, not only during Agricultural Safety Awareness Week.

Unicorn Winery l A ‘herd’ of a I different color By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer In 1968, when Dave Whittaker attended school in California he had the opportunity to tour some of the top wineries in the country. Not being much of a wine drinker himself, he mostly enjoyed watching the people who came into the wineries. “I noticed they walked in happy and smiling and walked back out smiling even more and even happier than when they arrived,” said Whittaker. “I said to myself that when I was old, that is what I wanted to do, bring happiness to people.” By 1988, twenty years later, Whittaker began looking for a location for a winery and SHY GUY: Unicom Wineries embraces a bit of whimsy with their “Slightly Embarrassed” red wine as the unicorn sports a pinkish glow on his cheek. - iinany in ne iouna the perfect place, located on the banks of the Rappahannock River in Amissville, Va. With a nearby winery going out of business in Winchester, Virginia, Whittaker was able to get all the wine making equipment he needed. He also found a building that was available. All he had to do was dismantle it and rebuild on his location. By 1994, with his vines planted in the ground, the dream of bringing happiness to others was taking hold. All Whittaker needed now was a winemaker. Whittaker caught the attention of local winemaker, Chris Pearmund, now the owner of Pearmund Cellars in Broad Run, Va. Using a combination of grapes from several locations, the first bottles bearing the Unicorn label were put to the test at the 2000 Virginia State lair, with their 1999 Chardonnay and Viognier both taking gold medals. A non-traditional • winery Unicorn is not your traditional winery, but boasts of being the friendliest winery in Rappahannock County. In fact, while Whittaker invites wine connoisseurs to Unicorn Winery, he truly caters to wine enthusiasts and those who want to learn Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jeanne Spath UNICORN HERD: Unicom Winery proudly displays its ‘herd’ which includes all of the wines offered at Unicorn, located in Amissville, Va. more. “At Unicorn we have fun wines, a good atmosphere—a place where when people taste our wines, they will remember them,” he said. The fun atmosphere is especially evident when looking at the names of the wines which are candidly referred to as Unicorn’s ‘herd’ of wines. While most are standard labels, Whittaker’s blush wine has a humorous twist— Slightly Embarrassed. “When I was first in the business,” Whittaker laughed, “someone told me that the term ‘blush’ was copyrighted and I would have to pay to use it.” At that, Whittaker thought hard for a name that would indicate blush, but not use that exact term. Suddenly it came to him, “Slightly embarrassed” and the label was designed, with the signature unicorn actually having a pale red cheek. The blush wine is aptly described by Unicorn. “While other wines blush, ours stands proud with a sheepish grin.” 1 Another fun wine at Unicorn is its Viognier, which is a Rhone white with aromas of honeysuckle, peach and pineapple. Whittaker encourages patrons to come to the winery, enjoy sipping by the Rappahannock River, sitting on the deck overlooking a beautiful koi-stocked pond, or even bring steaks to grill in the picnic area. n Of course, anyone at Unicorn Winery will be happy to help choose the perfect wine to accompany the steak. The winery is also available for weddings, corporate picnics and family reunions. Unicorn also offers Chardonnay and Carbenet Sauvignon jellies made from its wines.

March 10, 2005 www.timescommunity.com Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Betsy Parker A SPORTING TRY: Maryland-based amateur owner-rider Ben Swope flies over the wall with timber winner Sportin GT. Castleton Theatre offers free workshop this weekend By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Building on its educational mission to connect students of the theatre and the Piedmont community with world-clas§ performing artists, the Chateauville Foundation has scheduled two special workshops at the Castleton Theatre on Saturday and Sunday, March 12 and 13. Although reservations are required, there will be no charge for these two workshops that will be open to all ages with an interest in theatre, acting, mime or related arts The two performers—a husband and wife team—are internationally acclaimed solo performers. Avner “the Eccentric” Eisenberg is one of the world’s most famous clowns and Julie Goell is a renowned comedienne and professor of comedy art in the theatre. The two will present their workshops prior to their respective solo benefit performances for the Foundation later in the evening. See WORKSHOPS, Page B2 Smithwick hat trick at Rappahannock Middleburg barn goes three-for-three By Betsy Parker Times-Democrat StafT Writer WASHINGTON, Va. — Rappahannock placing judges got quite a workout, using video replays and exhaustive consultation to determine winners in five of Saturday’s eight races. Indeed, even the camera could not separate one set of winners, resulting in an unusual “dead heat” finish in the foxhunters’. Weather came up fair and footing at the March 5 Rappahannock Hunt Point-to-Point, rated good to soft all across the Bleu Rock Inn course, with “a bigger turnout of horses than we’ve had in 10 years,” according to race chairman and hunt master Oliver Brown. Entries were strong, considering a snow storm on nomination day, Monday. A midweek warming spell helped dry the course, Brown said, and the yielding footing helped limit speed. In five races over timber, there were no falls. Just three contested the featured open timber, yet it turned out to be one of the day’s most competitive races. The trio ran as a team for much of the 2 172 miles, with the pair of Bad Dog Press and Cat Walkin drawing clear landing off the third last on the backstretch. Though Jeff Murphy kept Cat Walkin in touch, Michael Cooney won on the nod with Bad Dog Press, by a nose at the wire. Winning trainer Dot Smithwick said she was particularly pleased for the gelding’s owner, Tom Hulfish. “We’ve had this horse for four years now. He’s won on the flat, over hurdles and over timber,” she said. Hulfish is an avid foxhunter, with the Fairfax Hunt, and a rated polo player. He works in real estate from his Alexandria office. Bad Dog Press won last fall at the National Steeplechase Association-sanctioned Genesee Valley Races in New York. He prepped for Rappahannock by finishing fourth in the jumpers’ flat last Sunday at the Casanova meet. Smith wick’s Sunnybank Farm in Middleburg sent out three winners on the day, also rooting home jumpers’ flat winner Ghost Fever. Winning owner Ray Moffett also shares ownership of maiden flat winner Rescigno. Irish pro Jeff Murphy handled the duties on both of Smithwick’s flat starters. Leading trainer Don Yovanovich added another pair of wins, notching the ladies’ timber with rider Molly Forlano and his own Bavario. In the foxhunters’ timber, Yovanovich’s Colonial Relay, Rachel Gray up, could not quite shake a late challenge from Kansas-based foxhunter Ralph Trail aboard Recanting. After lengthy consultation with finish line videos, the placing judges called it a tie and awarded dead-heat victory to both Colonial Relay and Recanting. Video replay was also needed to separate first and second in the maiden timber, as Class Crimson and Nowush crossed the finish as a team. Mede Cahaba Stable’s homebred Class Crimson was eventually deemed victor, by a head, giving young Remy Winants her third lifetime jump victory. Winants steered Class Crimson to his maiden victory last week at Casanova. She is daughter of area amateur rider Woods Winants and granddaughter of former Chronicle of the Horse publisher Peter Winants.

The Motorcycle Diaries’ will be playing at The Theatre in Washington on Friday, March 18, starting at 8 p.m. It is sponsored by RAAC. ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’ will keep you moving By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News “The Motorcycle Diaries” is an adaptation of a journal written by Ernesto “Che” Guevara when he was 23 years old. Although this man will grow up to be a Marxist revolutionary in the Cuban revolution, with his friend Alberto Granado, the two are typical college students, who are seeking fun and adventure before graduation and decide to travel across Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Peru in order to do their medical residency at a leper colony. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) brings this poetic and stirring epic to The Theatre in Washington, VA, Friday, March 18, 8:00 p.m. This intimate film celebrates the “other” Che Guevara played superbly by Gael Garcia Bernal, a rich kid on a junked-out motorcycle tooling around early 1950s South America deciding he wants to change the world. He and friend Alberto Granado (Rodigo de la Serna) embark on a road trip striving for quiet moments of character self-discovery as the young men encounter oppressed workers, lepers and other members of the starving class. Leaving family and friends behind in Buenos Aires and heading for the rural countryside, Granado, a 29year-pld biochemist and Guevara, a 23-year-old student one semester away from getting his medical degree had planned on being gone for four months, but their eventual odyssey would last twice as long, cover 8,000 miles, and forever change Guevara’s way of looking at his homeland’s social and economic inequity. Che and Alberto are exact opposites with Guevara’s candid, charita1 ble demeanor standing in sharp contrast to the more gregarious Alberto. Director Walter Salles (“Central Station,” “Behind the Sun”) makes great use of their complementary personalities during the duo’s humorous antics to procure room and board and*comely beauties. The two volunteer at a San Pablo leper colony where they are disgusted by how the leper population is segregated from the staff via the Amazon River despite the fact that leprosy is not contagious. Ernesto angrily rebels against the rules segregating the lepers and the hospital staff and makes an ideological act of symbolic brotherhood by not wearing the gloves mandated by the nuns. This is the story of the “other” Che before he became Fidel Castro’s strong right hand in his historically significant revolutionary life. It is subtle, funny and touching with superb acting. The film is rated R for obscenity, runs 126 minutes and is in Spanish with subtitles. . f'

By Nancy Garrett Special to the Rappahannock News Start your engines! Registration for the 3rd annual Soap Box Derby of Culpeper, hosted by Rosson & TVoilo Motor Co., is under way and will continue until May 6, 2005. The race takes place on Saturday, June 25, 2005 on Blue Ridge Avenue (traffic will be rerouted around the course). The 2004 Soap Box Derby had 68 drivers in two divisions, we expect at least 85 to 90 participates in this year’s Derby, in three different divisions. Drivers can register with Frankie Troilo at Rosson & Troilo, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Drivers will need signed registration forms, and a copy of their birth certificate. There is a $40.00 registration fee, which is waived for all new car purchasers. The goals of the Soap Box Derby program have not. changed since it began in 1934: to promote families working together to teach children some basic skills of workmanship along with the spirit of competition and the perseverance to continue a project to completion. Across the United States and around the world, family time is spent together building Soap Box Derby Cars. Lifelong bonds are developed as the ‘Derby Experience’ is shared from driver to driver, town to town, state to state. The Soap Box Derby is a pro gram that will provide cherished memories that will be enjoyed for a lifetime, by kids of all ages. The Soap Box Derby started nationally in 1934 in Dayton, OH. Culpeper hosted an All-American Soap Box Derby in 1949 and then not again until 2003 when Rosson & Troilo hosted the Soap Box Derby of Culpeper, with 35 drivers. Driving divisions • The Stock Division is for racers age 8 to 17 years old. The cars can accommodate a racer up to (approx.) 5’3” tall and 125 lbs.

Eisenberg’s workshop, starting at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday will introduce participants to his approach to physical comedy and movement on stage. Sunday afternoon starting at 1:30 p.m. Goell will present a lecture/demonstration on Commedia dell’Arte, the 16th-century Italian theatre tradition that became the basis of modem comedy.

Organic farming is a way of life at Sunnyside Farms Institute David Cole is keeping it fresh and chemical free By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Organic farming is a loosely used term, often thought of as simply agriculture without the use of pesticides on crops.

To maintain certification by the National Organic Program (NOP), a part of the USDA, Sunnyside Farms undergoes yearly inspections of their water, soil, hay and feed, just to name a few of Organic Fanning. There are two principles behind farming organically— ecological production and maintaining organic integrity. Ecological production utilizes technioues the components of inspection. Due to the high costs involved with the certification process, fanners selling less than $5,000 annually of organic products may opt not to become certified. However, to bear the USDA Organic label, they must comply with all NOP regulations. This certification ensures the public that individuals are consuming a product that is truly organic and free of chemicals. While most residents of Rappahannock County know they can find organic products at Sunnyside Market in Washington as well as at Sunnyside Farms Famous Rest Stop in Sperryville, Va., the 450 acre farm itself has kept a low profile. David Cole, owner of Sunnyside Farms Institute, had a vision to establish a farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge nine years ago, proposing sustainable agriculture as not only a business, but as an educational process for the county. At present, this farm produces beef, chicken, and a range of vegetables and fruits. All of the products are sold “locally,” which includes the northern Virginia area. “We want to make sure everyone who eats the products from our farm are getting the and materials that conserve and build the soil resource, supporting natural pest management. Organic integrity maintenance includes actions that would prevent contamination of organic production with prohibited materials and prevent commingling of organic and conventional products. This even includes using organic seeds for production. In order for a farm to be certified organic, synthetic fertilizers and pesticides must not have been used on the land for a full three years before the harvest of an initial organic crop. Buffer zones must also be made around the organic farm to ensure that pesticides do not drift from off-farm contamination. “We are fortunate,” Waldo said, “that our neighbors are not in agriculture production.” In livestock production, especially cattle, organic farms must protect waterways to avoid contamination by the cattle itself. At the Washing! m farm, containment fencing does not allow cattle to contaminate the watershed, which is part of the reason Sunnyside Farms Institute was honored in November 2004 by the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District for their farming practices. Part of the goal of Sunnyside Farms is to have landowners who they rent pasture land from also incorporate the organic techniques. “If the landowners (we rent from) are interested in converting their farmland to organic farming,” Waldo said, “we want to join in on that effort.” Pesticides vs. natural pest management While pesticides have been used in farming for generations, recent studies ha,ve shown links between the use of these chemicals and considerable health issues. It is necessary for pesticides to be toxic if they are going to kill pests on produce. According to information being gathered at Cornell University, research is ongoing to determine just how much pesticide is considered “safe” for human consumption. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, World Health Organization has done considerable studies since 1993, showing that pesticides can permanently damage the human endocrine, reproductive and central nervous systems. Organic proponents believe that pests are attracted to inferior or weak plants, which is a result of poor crop nutrition, according to the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service. The service proposes that pests are naturally repelled by well-nourished plants, although this has not been confirmed by research. Therefore, organic farmers have resolved to maintain the ecological balance of the farming area. ‘Organic Agriculture’ coined According to George Kuepper, an Agricultural Specialist with the National Center for See ORGANIC, Page B5 •ate Ifeife-v/.. pyA'M WM jy •§•111 THE STUART HOUSE - Rare combination of mountain views and rural ambience in an in-town setting.

Organic From Page A1 Appropriate Technology (NCAT), the term ‘organic’ was first used in the United States in 1940 when J.I. Rodale used it in a publicized article found in the Fact Digest. Shortly after writing that article, Rodale launched a magazine called Organic Farming and Gardening. It was not until the 1960’s and 1970’s that environmentalists began looking for alternatives to pesticides and industrial agriculture. The name ‘organic agriculture’ then became a philosophy of living as well as a method of farming. Kobe beef Of the organic livestock raised at Sunnyside Farms, one of their most unique specialities is Kobe (pronounced Ko-bay) beef. While pure Kobe beef is found only in Kobe, Japan, Sunnyside Farms purchased the genetics of the Wagyu cattle, cross-bred with purebred Angus cattle, and created Kobe beef in America. Genuine Kobe beef is a product that is highly prized throughout Japan, costing approximately $100 per pound. The genetic make-up of Kobe beef produces a meat with a very high fat content, or marbling. “You have to have the fat in the beef to make it taste good,” laughed Waldo. Using the Wagyu bloodline, Sunnyside Farms has been breeding Angus mothers for a three-quarters Kobe offspring. The farm has found the genetic mix to work well for them, feeding most of their cattle to slaughter. Ironically, Cole was a vegetarian when he first tasted Kobe beef. That taste encouraged his travels to Japan, negotiating for the genetic sale to bring back to the United States for produc Rappahannock Now* Staff Photo/Ruth Purnell ORGANIC GROWING: Beets grow organically in a greenhouse at Sunnyside Farms. tion. The result is a burger that sells well at the Burger Bam located at Sunnyside’s Famous Rest Stop. Cuts of Virginia Kobe beef are available at both retail markets. Farm to Table Of all the work done at Sunnyside Farms, Waldo is most proud of the ‘Farm to Table’ program and the Earth University Intern program. With the Tarm to Table’ program, which was developed in 2003 by Sunnyside Institute’s Janet Davis and Headwaters’ Amy Silver, agricultural educators work with students from Rappahannock County High School each Tuesday. This work is designed to give students a hands-on education of farming—teaching them where food comes from and how to safely handle food. “The program is great,” said Waldo, “We benefit from the kids being there and they benefit from our farm.” The produce raised by the students is donated to the Culinary Arts class at the high school, where the teacher, Mary Arthur assists students to prepare food, which is delivered for the “meals-on-wheels” program. Waldo explained this is not a J Country Homes & Retreats L. A DELIGHTFUL LOG HOME Tranquil setting on a very private road!

It is a great opportunity for land to be used as a classroom—any farmer or parents can participate.” Headwaters “Farm to Table’ coordinator, Trista Scheuerlein, who works with Rappahannock County High School, has made a “wish-list” of items to be donated to the program. Those items include a walkbehind self-propelled lawn mower, large flower pots and compost or manure to be delivered to the high school. As for the Intern program with Earth University, students come from their Costa Rica campus to Washington to learn about sustainable agriculture. “It is a wonderful opportunity for them to take something so useful back to their homeland,” Waldo said. Will Sunnyside stay? In response to the question of Sunnyside Farms Institute’s plans for the future, Waldo was quick to say, “I have been here for nine years and look forward to another 30, 40 or 50 years to come. Agriculture is only done long term and we are here to make a difference in Virginia.” Inspiring^ Jfwngfits t» ■ Randy Minter THE LOSS OF A SPOUSE Many studies have looked into the effect that the death of a spouse has on the surviving spouse. In one recent study of over 55,000 older women, it was found that, despite the fact that the loss of a husband adversely affected the women's mental and physical health, the women tended to be resilient. They recovered from the loss as the months went on. They sought either professional help or social support in the community. Some learned more positive ways to cope. Others, who had been caring for a sick or disabled spouse, now realized that their lives would be less stressful. Each learned to cope with her loss in her own time and in her own way. Finding resources outside oneself is what is so important when it comes to recovering from a devastating loss, like that of one's life partner.
