The Rappahannock County High School Concert Band appears on stage at the Sherando High School Auditorium where it won an “Excellent” rating among 7 other area high school bands. RCHS Band making a name for itself By Richard Lykes, Special to the Rappahannock News Like in a crescendo, Rappahannock’s reputation for musical talent seems to be growing ever stronger lately. In addition to the long list of well-known homegrown singers and performers who have “made it” in the professional music world with appearances and CDs, another special group of talented musicians is gamering rave reviews for their exceptional talent-the Rappahannock County High School Concert Band and its related group, the RCHS Jazz Ensemble. An increasingly larger audience throughout the state is hearing these two groups. Under the baton of band director Matt Yonkey, these local musicians-who seem more professional than student-are performing regularly around the state and in the county. On Thursday, the two bands entertained an enthusiastic crowd on home turf at the Rappahannock County High School in a “PreCompetition” Concert. On Friday evening, the RCHS Band traveled to a District XIV Concert Band Festival in Stephens City where their performance was aw arded an “Excellent” rating by a team of judges. Seven schools from Warren, Clarke, and Rappahannock Counties played in the district meet at the Sherando High School in Stephens See BAND, Page A7 Rapp resident named as Laura Bush’s press secretary By Run-t Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer The newly appointed press secretary to first, lady Laura Bush is one of our own Rappahannock residents, Susan Whitson. If you make your way down Harris Hollow Road you will eventually come to the little log home of Susan and Keir Whitson. Fairly new to the area the Whitsons purchased their house here in July of 2003. With a job that entails being the day-to-day spokesperson for the first lady, Whitson works with Laura Bush on many different levels, assisting her with social functions, or helping her promote the worthy causes Laura Bush has chosen to advance. Whitson uses Laura Bush’s, “Helping America’s Youth Initiative” as an example of one of the first lady’s projects currently being promoted. “Laura Bush travels around the country highlighting programs that have proven to be effective in helping children,” said Whitson. On an average day Whitson spends her morning screening information from media outlets seeking to interview the first lady, or sending pitches to outlets in which the first lady is interested in contacting. Last week alone, Whitson and the first lady traveled to both Atlanta, Georgia and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in an effort to get the word out about some of the first lady’s agenda. “The job has been great so far. I walk into the East wing of-the White House every morning and Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Ruth Purnell NEWLY APPOINTED: Susan Whitsort at her home outside of Washington, Va. I realize it is such a privilege and only a handful of people get such an opportunity,” said Whitson with glowing eyes.

While there certainly have been many changes to take place with businesses coming and going, people searching the Web are unaware because the town’s Web Site has not been updated. As ot Mar. 9, all ot that will change, as Washington’s Town Council voted unanimously to hire newcomer to the town, Tom Gordon, known as “the computer guy,” to build a new town Web Site. According to his proposal at the March Tbwn Council meeting, Gordon explained how the “splash page” will open with an animated montage of photos from around the town. Open the page and the viewer will be greeted to four main sections to choose from — visit, stay, shop and town. Point and click on the “visit’ icon and find out what things there are to do in the Tbwn of Washington. At ‘stay,’ one can find out all about the Bed and Breakfast industry within the town and county. “Our first obligation is to the B & B’s within the town,” council member Claudia Mitchell explained, “then any others from the county who want to add their own pages can.” Each of the businesses within the town cam add a link to the town’s Web Site, allowing viewers to go directly to the business home pages. Under the ‘shop’ icon, those perusing the web can find out where to shop in Washington and then the ‘town’ icon represents the government of the town, incT ’ ling updated minutes from each Tbwn Council meeting. Gordon proposed to add a calendar page, allowing people to see at a glance when town meetings will be held.

Out of the Old Hollow in Sperryville comes a bluegrass star — Hollowbound. It all started for Brian Taylor at the age of 16, when his dreams became a reality. Taylor family members gave him tapes and CDs of bluegrass music, and they took him to Bluegrass Festivals. This is how Brian got his taste for bluegrass music. He first began performing in 2002 when you could find him singing gospel bluegrass music locally at church. Then Taylor’s venue spread to solo performances for the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Share-the-fun contest for 4H, and other for 4-H related events, such as camps and fundraisers, performances for different fire department events, and even a gig at Oasis vineyard for their “Dinner for the Hood.” In Taylor s senior year at Kappahannock County rngft School, he and Anthony Clinedinst had the opportunity to enroll in a class called, Bluegrass Independent Study. Clinedinst and Taylor were required to compose, perform and write a paper on the development of Bluegrass music. Brooke Parkhurst was the special guest and assisted with the class. She introduced Clinedinst and Taylor to clawhammer banjo, (a style of banjo playing), vocal harmonies, Celtic music and cord progressions. Through this came two very popular songs, co-written by Clinedinst and Taylor, “Bluegrass State of Mind” and “Thank you Kind Soldier,” the latter, was written especially for and performed during the Veteran’s Day program in November 2003, Dr. Bob Chappell and Clinedinst performed it once again in the fall of 2004 for Veteran’s Day.

Rappahannock hound killed in hit and run accident By Jan Clatterbugk Rappahannock News Staff writer. The classic howl of hounds is expected in a foxhunt, but not a howl of pain. That howl of pain was heard on Sunday, March 6, when one of Billy Dodson’s hounds was hit while crossing Rt. 522 during a foxhunt. The motorist was never prosecuted as the vehicle continued traveling toward Culpeper, never stopping to check the condition of the hound that was hit. Dodson, a resident of Sperryville, is a huntsman who takes care of the hounds and horses, maintains trails and jumps, takes care of race courses, and anything else that the landowners, who are foxhunters, want him to do. Dodson has been hunting for 49 years all across the state, but mostly in Rappahannock County. He has worked at the Thorton Hill Hounds, which is located on the Thorton Hill Farm, since they started seven years ago. The farm is located off of Rt. 522, east of Sperryville, and Thorton Hill Hounds leases land from the farm’s owner, Bill Fletcher. An honorable tradition Foxhunting is an old and honorable sport with traditions going back hundreds of years. Each hunting member and subscriber of the Rappahannock Hunt is invited by the Master of Foxhounds to hunt. Landowners, whose primary occupation is farming, open their land •to the hunt and are invited to hunt as guests. At Thorton Hill there are 72 hounds. They go hunting three days a week, Tuesday, Friday and Sunday thking about 45 hounds to hunt each time. Dodson said, “I would rather be here working on the farm instead of being at a party or concert, running the hounds is FOXCHASE IN PROGRESS HOUNDS CROSSING: Billy Dodson stands with new sign that will alert motorists to slow down when foxhunting is nearby. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jan Clatterbuck like music to me.” In fact, out of the seven years he has only missed one day of working with the hounds. On that day, his son Brian, filled in for him. Normally, he works seven days a week. For the Thornton Hill Hounds, this is not a game seeking to kill foxes, but rather to enjoy having the hounds run them in a hole, which is called the mark of the ground. Then they leave the fox and go and try to hunt another one. For a good day’s hunt the hounds usually run about three foxes. On that fateful Sunday, approximately 40 riders, with 43 hounds started out foxhunting. When the huntsman sent the hounds out, they followed their normal route Dodson explained “Up till about the last month the foxes have been running from Mason Mountain to Fielding Mountain, then they have to cross the highway. When the hounds crossed the road, this is where one got killed.” Taking action Dodson said this was the third hound that has gotten killed by an automobile over the years. Seeing this happen again would be too much for Dodson to bear, so he called Jim Williams, at the Virginia Department of Transportation, asking permission to have a sign made to be placed on the road temporarily while a hunt is in progress. The sign, which was given by hunt President, David Ingram, will be put up on the days of a hunt, alerting motorists to beware of dogs and horses crossing the road. Dodson said, “people are driving too fast and they need to be more alert when animals are in the road or crossing.” Sandra Cartwright-Brown, a frequent foxhunter, was elated with the action that Dodson took and in such a timely manner. “Billy Dodson acted quickly. He is very dedicated and has worked with the hounds for years. He is to be commended.” Dodson hopes his caution sign will avoid any future senseless accidents with motor vehicles hitting the hounds, returning the sound of joyous howling to the sport.

At the end of the summer Congressman Riley asked Whitson to stay on as his spokesperson. “I realized this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and that I could always go back to teaching,” said Whitson. r rom that point her career as spokeswoman blossomed as Whitson went on to spend three years working on Capitol Hill as press secretary to Rep. Bill McCollum (R-FL) and Rep. Bob Riley (RAL), two years at the Justice Department as Deputy Director of the Office of the Public for the Attorney General and national breaking news, one year as chief of the FBI’s National Press Office, and 10 months as the Deputy Communications Director for the Bush-Cheney ‘04 campaign, working as spokesperson for Barbara and Jenna Bush. Reflecting on her new job, Whitson said, “when I met Mrs. Bush for the first time I really liked her and the fact that she has a similar educational background.” Like so many who work in Washington D.C. it is no wonder the Whitsons decided to seek a home outside of the city. But Susan Whitson also has deeper ties to Virginia. Elkton and Harrisonburg are the original home of her father’s family and Whitson herself was bom in Blacksburg. What really drew the couple out to the area was her husband’s love of fly fishing. “I knew when I first saw it that I wanted to five here,” said Whitson. “My husband and I are both from small towns and we really want this to be our permanent home.” There's just one place near D.C. where you want to see a tailgate up close.

According to the mayor, bids are expected to be available within the next 30 days for a newly designed reservoir. This reservoir will be a backup water source to the present well that is online for the town’s use. Having two wells online will allow the town to meet Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) regulations, which the State Health Department has requested of the town officials. Town of Washington administrative assistant, Laura Dodd, reported that the proposed cost to go online with this new well has been estimated at $4,232. Council member Jerry Goebel requested that a breakdown of that cost be presented to council before approval of the expenditure is made. Town beautification In response to a request made by The Theatre at Little Washington owner, Wendy Weinberg, in the February Town Council meeting, Mitchell reported that she has contacted Amissville Nursery for flowers to fill barrels throughout the town. While there are no outdoor flowering plants available at this time of the year, Mitchell assured council that she is to be contacted immediately when flowers are in stock. Town Council heard a report from Bob Lander, a member of the Rappahannock League of Environmental Protection (RLEP). According to .Lander, tormer president of the RLEP, the group has received assistance from Sperryville landscaper, Marc Malick, to beautify the grounds surrounding the Rappahannock County Courthouse and government buildings, located on Gay Street in Washington. The group, which was formed in the fall of 2003, has enlisted the assistance of the Rappahannock Garden Club. They would like to plant various native Virginia species throughout the grounds. “They will be very simple structural changes,” Lander explained to the council. Lander requested that as much of the community as possible become involved in this beautification process. He spoke of two trees, one a maple which is now dead and an overpowering conifer, that he understands the county plans to remove. The RLEP plans to plant some small trees in the area, as well as low maintenance shrubbery along the front wall. In addition, the group plans to place benches, enabling the area to become a community gathering place. Upcoming schedule Ibwn Council has received an invitation to nominate a representative to the newly formed Rappahannock County Water Advisory Board. Town of Washington planning commissioner Gary Schwartz reported that Milt Herd, planning consultant, will be reporting his findings on Mar. 28 at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall from the first joint meeting that was held between the Planning Commission and Town Council last month. Schwartz encouraged all residents of the town to be in attendance for this meeting which directly impacts the town’s Comprehensive Plan and future growth.

The program began in March of last year when Petty, with the help of children’s librarian Cindy Arbelbide, brought her own dogs to the Rappahannock County Library for children to read to. The idea really took off with Petty adding, “I wasn’t able to handle all the children who were interested.” After the word got out about the program Petty was able to recruit others who were interested in doing an activity with their pet. Member Jacque Tbwner said, “I thought it would give me a chance to do something good in the community and now I love doing this with Sadie (Tbwner’s dog).” In order to be involved in the program dogs must pass a test to become certified by Therapy Dog Inc. and be at least one year old. Handlers need only a love of their dog and the willingness to commit to the program. “Any dog with basic obedience skills cah complete the training,” said Tbwner. Currently the •Sperryville based Waggin’ Hearts Therapy Dogs organization (non-profit) has about 25 members, approximately 8 of whom are also involved with the Books and Barks program. Therapy dogs make visits to all kinds of settings including nursing homes, libraries, and schools in an effort to share their' love with those in need. “Every dog finds their fit,” continued Towner who explained larger dogs may not be best for working with small children, but may do well in another environment. Petty remembers a child who came to the library to read to the dogs with excellent reading skills, but no interest in books. Being able to spend time with the dogs and making reading a more active subject sparked something in the child. “He came to just about every session that we had and his mother was impressed that he actually enjoyed reading to Jazz (Petty’s dog),” said Petty. Last Friday ah open house was held at the Rappahannock County 4H office in Washington, Va. in an attempt to encourage parents to register their children to read to the dogs. Sessions will be held at this location on the second Friday of each month from 4-6 p. m. Pre-registration is required.

Some colonials weren’t playing with a full deck Do you know the origin of the terms “Chairman” or “Chairman of the Board?” In the early centuries in this country, many of the houses had only one large room where the family lived. Some had lofts or an alcove for sleeping, but there was the one large room where the family gathered, went about their chores, cooked and dined. There were few chairs and in many cases just one chair. There was a board that folcjed up flush against the wall when not in use and was always dropped for meals. JJurrng meals the head of the household, usually a man sat in the chair. E veryone else either sat on the flcor or sat on a backless bench. If there was a guest at mealtime they were given the honor of sitting in the chair. Once again this was usually a man. Thus today we use the terms “Chairman” or “Chairman of the Board” to denote the head of an organization, business, committee, etc. While thinking about the early homes in this country, did you ever wonder why there were no closets? Upon reading the notes kept by an Englishman who was visiting the colonies in the late 17th century I found that this amazed him also. He quickly learned that the taxes on homes at that time were based on the number of closets found in the house. Thus even into the 18th and 19th centuries we find that even elegant homes had few to no closets. Of course the flip side to this is that today we prize the beautiful wardrobes, presses and cabinets that were crafted by master carpenters and furniture craftsmen to take the place of those pricey closets. Tickets are now on sale for the Rappahannock Commemorative Quilt. This lovely quilt, which depicts in fabric transfer pictures different photographs of sites in the county, may be seen at the Rappahannock Historical Society. The tickets are $5.00 each and may be purchased at the Society either in person or by mail. Rappahannock native, Florine Pullen Baldwin, made this quilt. Florine grew up in Gid Brown Hollow, the daughter of Clyde and Lillie Dwyer Pullen. She was a busy seamstress from the days when 100 lb. bags of livestock feed came in printed cotton sacks. Since retiring Florine has been quilting for family members and resale. Traditionally quilts become prized family heirlooms. So start a tradition in your own family with a quilt that is not only hand made but one depicting scenes of Rappahannock. Histories & Mysteries Fran Eldred Florine will be at The Historical Sampler on May 21 demonstrating her skills and will host the drawing for her quilt at that time. You do not have to be present to win Speaking of taxes If you think taxing closets is bad, I’ll share with you a really absurd tax. - A common form of enter- ' tainment in the early days was card playing. Our founding fathers were avid card players and the ordinaries and taverns always provided cards for friendly and sometimes not so friendly games. A deck of cards contained 52 cards then as they do now. However, in the early days there was a tax on the “Ace of Spades” so many people would purchase only 51 cards. This also gives us the expression of “Not playing with a full deck”. The following news item was found in the Blue Ridge. Guide dated April 7, 1905. “We hear various rumors as regards a railroad for Rappahannock. One is that the Pennsylvania road will in a few days start a party of engineers on a survey through Chester’s Gap and probably by this place (Washington) and on through Madison. Another is that the Southern will soon survey a route from Warrenton to this place (Washington). We also learn that the chances for building the Fredericksburg & Rappahannock R. R. are splendid. We have always been in favor of a railroad for our county, but we believe our people should encourage only the one that is in earnest.” Needless to say the railroad did not come to Rappahannock. I am aware that there were meetings held at the Washington House on this subject, but before I could read through the paperwork there was a fire that destroyed what I had. Does anyone else out there have paperwork that would shed light on this subject? Please learn a lesson from my mistake. When you find old documents please make copies of them immediately and tiy to preserve them. You can always go back later and read them. Fully Insured • Bonded C.R.

Gary Schwartz made a presentation before three members of the ARB, chairman Ed Barton and members Charlie Kevis and Patrick O’Connell last week for one double-sided building sign to be painted in Heritage House gray, burgundy and black, which will replace the R. Olah sign that had been present. Schwartz also made a request to place a single-sided yard sign in Heritage House gray and black, which would replace the R. Olah Furniture sign. A third sign, which is a temporary two-sided sign, was not considered by the ARB. “We are not concerned with temporary signs,” said Barton who did question Schwartz about the number of signs meeting town ordinance requirements, and the petitioner, who is also one of the town’s planning commissioners, advised the request was within ordinance requirements. With no further discussion, the request was unanimously approved.

Brooke Parkhurst, who has had experience in recording CDs and has released five CDs, plays clawhammer style banjo and sings tenor on Taylor’s debut CD. Taylor felt that her talent would add a lot to the songs that were planned for the CD. Taylor rounds out the group, playing banjo, guitar, upright bass, and mandolin on two songs as well as singing lead in another. The group has played together at Sunnyside’s “Roots n River”, Salem Pick’n Party, Sperryville Fire Department and other events. They have played as an informal band for about one and one half years and the group officially adopted the name “Hollowbound” in February 2005. Their new CD is called “The Long Way Home.” It was released in January 2005. It is a four song CD and sells for $7. Two of the songs were written by Taylor, “Hard Pleas’n Woman” and “Wandering Mind.” The other two songs were cowritten with Clinedinst, “Bluegrass State of Mind” and “Thank you Kind Soldier.” Parkhurst said, “ It has been a lot of fun and Brian has a lot of promise as a Bluegrass musician. Taylor attends Virginia Tfech, and participates in the Tri-M County Band, District 14 Band, Virginia Tech Honor Band (Gold Hokie Band), Solo and Ensemble, Bland Contest and Pep Band. He has also marched with Drum Line in local parades including the Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department parade and Culpeper Volunteer Fire Department parade. When he comes home for a break from college, Taylor gets together with the Hollowbound Band in his father’s garage and gets the bluegrass music rolling. In fact a new release is planned for late winter or spring 2006. According to Taylor, without the talents of Chappell, Parkhurst and Clinedinst, the CD could not have become a reality. However, it is Uhappell who credits Taylor for his music and interest. Taylor said without the Rappahannock County High School Band, the interest in other instruments would probably not have been discovered. Much credit is due to the High School Band Program.

This week I’d like to spotlight our Local Author section. Our county is rich in versatile writers . You’ll find poetiy, 'fiction, serious non-fiction, and more in our Local Author section, which is located in the reference room, near the biographies. Many of the works in this section shed light on local history, from Elisabeth Johnson’s informative and entertaining “Rappahannock County, VA Fact Fiction Foolishness, and Fairfax Story” to James Russell’s fascinating, “Beyond The Rim: From Slavery to Redemption in Rappahannock County.” Weve al o collected many of Eugene McCarthy’s works, including his latest, “Parting Shots From My Brittle Bow: Reflections On American Politics and Life.” Other recent additions to the Local Author section include volume two of Richard Antony’s Rappahannock chronicle “Mountain of My Dreams: ’’The Middle Years.” Antony and his wife came to the county in the 1970s to start an azalea nursery. His memoir recounts the ups and downs of the ‘learn as you go” method. # Carl Coon’s thought-provoking “One Planet, One People: Beyond Us. Vs. Them,” seeks to demonstrate that the world is in a state of massive transition from competitive nation-states to a global system of governance. Jim Gannon’s, “A Life In Print: Selections from the work of a Reporter, Columnist Check St Out Dave Shaffer and Editor” tells many interesting stories about the political movers and shakers of the last 30 years.

Arbelbide has authored “The White House Easter Egg Roll” as well as a recently published article in Prologue, the Quarterly of the National Archives and Records Administration. The article, “By George, IT IS Washington’s Birthday!" recounts how moving the federal holiday “Washington’s Birthday” to the wrong Monday in February has blurred the holiday’s connection to the first President, and given rise to the advertising sound bite “Presidents’ Day.” New additions to our section are always welcome, so if you’ve got a book of your own, or know of a local author, let us know, we’ll be glad to add it to our collection. I’ve recently begun collecting CDs by local musicians in order to establish a “Local Music” section. If you’re a musician with a CD to donate, we’d love to have it. If you’d like to brush up on your local history, stop in and peruse the Local Author shelves. You’ll be glad you did. Until next time, see you at the library. 1 1,500 4,600 sa ft.

And, they are living with other folks who feel the same way. This county is not only rich in natural beauty but rich in its inherent collective community that embraces artists, authors, artisans, animal lovers, business owners, food lovers and renowned chefs, farmers, educators, historians, politicians, attorneys, sellers of fine real estate and buyers of fine real estate, musicians, valueoriented and valued volunteers in another treasure trove of community action groups, and young people. Let’s look at the students. While there aren’t that many compared to surrounding counties, it’s quality that counts and we’ve got it here in Rappahannock. They’re reciting poetiy, playing instruments, creating paintings, designing things, winning college scholarships, raising money for tsunami victims and countless other worthy causes, they’re crossing county lines and bringing home awards ftum district, regional and state competitions and they’re also grappling with being kids and seeking their own visions. They are the future and as \ve celebrate a day that many consider “lucky”, let’s smile—the future looks bright. Judges found judging a tough task How the judges labored in this year’s Rappahannock County Library’s “By George It’s Washington’s Birthday” Art and Writing Show. In the end the tie-breaking award for “Best ‘Inauguration’ Theme” tagged author Jennifer Dellinger’s sound effects poem “Hooray for George” as the Show’s top entry. Hooray for George! by Jennifer Dellinger It was George’s big day, he was excited and proud, as he looked out at the cheering crowd. The horses clip-clopped their big giant feet, while little kids squealed to see such a treat. The banners for George flapped in the air, to show everyone’s appreciation and care. The m~n were all dressed in their finest attire, and the ladies wore gowns that everyone could admire. George gave a great speech and when he was done, they had a great feast and had lots of fun. It was the first inauguration, oh what a day, with President Washington leading the way. The people were excited, the fumre looked bright, a new country, a strong leader, what a wonderful sight! Congratulations to all the participants, parents and educators too! Your creative and enthusiastic efforts will continue to draw “oohs” and “ahhs” at the Library through Saturday, March 19.

J Letters Irish Character: It’s bred in the bone I don’t remember exactly when I discovered I was Irish. The importance of being Irish was not something stressed in my parents’ home. They were of the generation that strove to leave immigrant roots behind and join the melting-pot middle class as plain-vanilla Americans. They recalled too vividly the “No Irish Need Apply” mentality of earlier years that treated their parents as second-class citizens. My father, grandson of a pioneer who traded potatofamine starvation in County Meath, Ireland, for log-cabin subsistence in Scott County, Minnesota, would wear a green tie on St. Patrick’s Day, but that was the extent of his proclamation of Irish roots. I don’t recall a single party or celebration on any March 17 of my boyhood. It was only in my father’s final years that I prodded from him the information on our ancestors. From a hospital bed, he wrote out what he knew about their immigration, how I would find the town of Trim, whence they came, and where I would find them buried in Belle Plaine, Minn. I went to all those places and began to understand my ancestors, my father and myself. i ms process ol sell-discovery led to formation of one of those central beliefs that govern our lives (if we bother to have any such beliefs). It is the belief in the value of roots and a sense of ethnic identity. It turned my parents’ belief on its head: Rejecting melting-pot homogenization, I chose to recognize and celebrate what was bred in bone and blood and to value the differences that I discovered among my fellow Americans. What made the Italians and the Poles and the Scandinavians and the blacks different from me also made them more interesting, and — once you understand your own ethnic individuality — more understandable. “What is an ethnic group?” writes Michael Novak, novelist, critic and Slovak-American. “It is a group with historical memory, real or imaginary.....Ethnic memory is not a set of events remembered, but rather a set of instincts, feelings, intimacies, expectations, patterns of emotion and behavior; a sense of reality; a set of stories for individuals — and for people as a whole — to live out.” And so I now live with an ethnic memory and a set of stories to live out. It is a memory of poverty and repression, a story of fierce determination to be independent and self-reliant. It is a memory of land lost and a story of new land reclaimed. It is a memory of people I never knew — peasants grubbing out potatoes on a half-acre of stony soil — w ho seem nearly as real as the people in my own story — kids with Irish freckles, some with red hair, who watch their father turn St. Patrick’s Day into a celebration second only to Christmas. Now when I read of the Irish mentality, I utter the nervous laugh of self-recognition. “The greatest curse of Ireland has not been English invasions or English misgovemment,” writes novelist Sean OTaolain. “It has been the exaggeration of Irish virtues — our stubbornness, conservatism, enormous arrogance, our power of resistance, our capacity for taking punishment, our laughter, our endurance; fatalism, devotion to the past, all taken to the point where every human quality can become a vice instead of a virtue.” That one paragraph is a better explanation of the neverending tragedy of Ulster than any book-length analysis of the political, economic and religious issues. Hold that paragraph up to the face of any honest Irish person you know, and it Photo courtesy of James Gannon BLARNEY BUDDIES: Rappahannock County author James P. Gannon, with his son Chris, visit the ruins of an old, church in Trim, Ireland, home of Gannon’s ancestors. becomes a mirror, So if you’re lucky enough to share some genuine Irish companionship at a St. Patrick’s Day party this year, attend with forgiveness. There’s an old Irish saying, “What’s bred in the bone will out.” It means: They can’t help it. 1 he Irish are a people whose wars are always merry and whose songs are always sad. They sing those terribly sad songs, after tipping too many a glass, because there is something in the blood that requires it. St. Patrick’s Day is merely the annual public revelation of the very private ethnic memory of the Irish. The memory, as O’Faolain says, “is in the blood and bones of every Irishman, as inflammable as petrol.” And he warns: “I suppose that even the most urbane and civil Irishman could, and will if he is wise, acknowledge that there is in him a vestigial angel or devil that, in propitious circum-stances, is capable of turning him into a hero or a savage at the memory of what his fathers endured.” This commentary, originally published in The Des Moines Register on March 17, 1985, is excerpted from the book “A Life in Print: Selections hum the Work of a Reporter, Columnist and Editor,” by James P. Gannon. Published today, it is available in local bookstores, The Rappahannock News and online at www.blackwaterpublications.com Letters to the Editor We welcome your opinions and comments.

From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News Down Memory Lane 40 YEARS AGO March 18,1965 The public supper held Saturday night by the Amissville Ruritan Club was well attended with an estimated 200 people enjoying the ham and turkey and accompanying vegetables. The door prize, a small pressure cooker, was awarded to B. James Moss of Castleton, who also got the RCA television which was given away. The Flint Hill firemen and additional guests were well fed and entertained at the annual banquet given by the Ladies Auxiliary last Tuesday evening at the fire hall in Flint Hill. The ladies served a bountiful dinner of old Virginia ham and oysters to the more than 95 people attending. H. S. Barksdale, master of ceremonies, introduced guest speaker, Bob Priode, who is superintendent of the U. S. Cattle Research Station at Front Royal. Entertainment was provided by the Barracudas, a local musical group, who presented several selections of lively music. A high tension wire, apparently snapped bv Tuesday’s winds, fell in a grass field on the John Lee, Durrant farm near Boston and started a fire. Residents of that area were without electricity from about 5 to 9:30 p. m. while linemen of the Virginia Electric and Power Company repaired the line. 25 YEARS AGO March 20,1980 Trinity Episcopal Church will soon echo with beautiful music from the new Scarborough organ that was delivered last Wednesday by the Gordon Keller Music Company of Alexandria. The organ was purchased with memorial funds after the church’s old Hammond developed electrical problems. A special recital is planned as soon as Trinity’s organist has had time to become familiar with the new instrument. In celebration of the birthday of Girl Scouting, Junior Troop 547 in Rappahannock joined other troops March 15 in Orange for a show and display of spinning and weaving. Troop 547 has been working of the Weaving and Basketry badge in the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Scherschel and Miss Peg McDonnell both of Flint Hill, who have taught the girls to spin wool. Wakefield Country Day School students were first, second, and third place winners in the boy’s division of the Optimist International Oratorical Contest held for area students Saturday in Front Royal. The first place gold medal prize was won by eighth grader James Dawson, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Dawson of Huntly. The official subject of this year’s contest was “Our Challenge in the 80’s.” Contestants had to prepare their own speeches which were judged in respect to organization of material, delivery, presentation, and overall effectiveness. Gary Leake, Rappahannock’s Skyline District all-star basketball player, shared his skills with sixth and seventh grade al' tars during a practice session on Tuesday afternoon. Rhone* Brown, stand-out member of the RCHS girl’s squad, also volunteered her talents in helping the youngsters. 10 YEARS AGO March 15, 1995 Marine Pfc. Eric C. Neal, a 1994 graduate of RCHS, recently completed recruit training and was promoted to his present rank. During the training cycle at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S. C., recruits are taught the basics of battlefield survival. RCHS seniors enjoyed their annual “Trip” to Seven Springs, Pa. There were many things to do at Seven Springs like bowling, miniature golf, swimming, volleyball, health spa, arcades, and roller skating, however most people attempted skiing. The trip had many highlights such as the buffet breakfast. The boys had a good time with their shaving cream and the girls had quiche parties.

March is National Women’s History Month By Kathleen Snyder Special to the Rappahannock News From the time of Clara Barton to the present, the American Red Cross has offered women opportunities for leadership, independence, volunteerism and professional growth. Wherever the Red Cross is serving—either on the home front or the battle front—women continue to embrace and achieve success with each new challenge. It is only fitting that during the month of March we celebrate National Women’s History Month as well as Red Cross Month." Please join us in recognizing women’s heritage, accomplishments, multicultural legacy and diversity at the Red Cross, in America and around the world. women Inspiring Hope and Possibility” was the theme for Women’s History Month in 2004. That theme spoke volumes to the work accomplished by women leaders in American Red Cross history. Leaders such as: Clara Barton — founder of the American Red Cross; Mabel Thorp Boardman — volunteer leader of the Red Cross after the organization received its Congressional charter; Jane Delano — founder of the American Red Cross Nursing Service; Elizabeth Dole — U.S. Senator for North Carolina and former President of the American Red Cross; Gwendolyn Jackson — former Board of Governors member, National Chair of Volunteers and Red Cross chapter leader; and Marsha J. Evans — current President and CEO of the Red Cross. Their dedication has helped build an organization that offers hope and humanity to people across our nation and beyond. I encourage you to take a moment during Red Cross month to recognize the women upon whose shoulders this organization has been built and whose vision and leadership continue to guide the organization today. The National Women’s History Project led a movement to have Congress designate a celebration to recognize women’s historic achievements. The goal was to ensure that information about the many ways women have changed America would be part of our children’s education. In 1980, President Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation calling on the American people to remember the contributions of women. By 1987, fourteen governors had declared March as Women’s History Month, and that same year, Congress and the President followed by declaring March Amissville family escapes injury in house fire By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer David and Helen Solesbee of 377 Hinsons Ford Road, Amissville, Va. awoke last Wednesday at 3 a.m. to the sound of their smoke alarm. “Thankfully the sihoke alarm was operational,” said Amissville fire and rescue department chief, J. B. Carter, Jr. Within twelve minutes of receiving the call, the Amissville fire and rescue department had twelve firefighters on the scene. Washington, Flint Hill and Castleton Fire and Rescue Departments also assisted Amissville, adding thirteen firefighters. lne nre began in tne couple’s zero-clearance chimney, allowing the bum to advance into the walls and attic of the single-stray rambler. Carter explained that a zero-clearance chimney is made of two or three layers of galvanized pipe, allowing the chimney closure to be placed closer to the walls of the building. “You have to have air space around the chimney and clean the chimney several times during the burning season,” Carter added. With the fire being contained only to the wall and attic of the home, Carter estimated the damage at $20,000.

Girls’ softball looking strong this season for RCHS By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Recent cold weather has not kept the “girls of summer” inside as Rappahannock County High School softball players hit the practice field. “I am looking forward to a very good season,” coach Richie Burke projected as his team practiced this week. Rapp lost four seniors from its team at the end of last season, but has two experienced seniors returning this season. RCHS senior Rachel Gall is a starting returner at second base, while Sarah Mills, also in her senior year, is returning in center field, also having been a starter last season. 1 m looking for experience and leadership in my senior captains,” Burke smiled, hoping ‘senioritis’ and spring fever don’t get in the way. Also returning as a starter to the team is junior Jamie Jacobs. Jacobs, who put on her cleats in high school for the first time last season, contributed greatly as an outfielder, earning the distinction of a second-team All District player. Burke praised the junior, saying, “she is so quick and so fast. Her hitting, speed and base stealing is excellent, especially for someone who started playing later.” Other returning starters for the team are sophomores Christina Narimore, a catcher; Rebecca Tupper, a pitcher; Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jeanne Spath RETURNING LETTERMEN: The Rappahannock County High School girls’ softball team has six returning lettermen this season. From left, Jamie Jacobs, Sarah Mills, Rachel Gall, Rebecca Tupper, Christina Narimore and Katie Burke. and Katie Burke at catcher and first base. Rounding out the team Burke’s team has two seniors who were not part of the team last season, but do have softball experience, Danielle North and Megan Payne. The remaining five players have moved up from the JV team. Junior players are Nicole Brown and Ashley Llama. Jessica Lee steps up as a sophomore while Noel Johns and Crystal Heflin come on board as freshmen, bringing junior varsity experience. “Many of these girls started young, playing during the summer and on travel teams,” Burke said, “the more you play, the more experience you have and you can’t teach experience.” That experience is what the coach, who has taken over the team this season is banking on. Although he is new at the helm, Burke has been under the leadership of John Smyth for five years, saying, “I am just carrying out what John started, and I hope I can do well.” District competition At the end of last season, there was a five-way tie for first place in the Bull Run District for girls’ softball. The Panthers had many games that ended in a one-run win or loss for the Rapp team. That is a situation Burke is determined to avoid this season, concentrating his Dennis Rustom.M.D., Pediatrics p T LITTLE THINGS OFTEN RESONATE THE MOST We know... a gratifying healthcare experience requires harmony.

Burke added that his hope for the team’s strength this season will be its ability to come together as a team. “I am excited about the season,” Burke smiled, “I just want to be able to get the job done, carrying out a tradition that has been the history of this team.” Sarah Burke and Fred Narimore will be assisting Burke in that effort this season.

Photo by Roger B. Pierson Jr. Boy Scout Pack 123 and Troop 36 Units and Leaders recognized By Roger Pierson Special to the Rappahannock News The Shenandoah Area Council held its 77th Annual Recognition Dinner on Saturday, March 13th at Braddock Street United Methodist Church in Winchester. The Council consists of nine counties including Rappahannock and extending into West Virginia. The awards ceremony commenced immediately after a buffet dinner enjoyed by a few hundred scouts, scouters and their families. Iroop 3b chartered organization representative Walt Longyear was recognized for his 45 years of service to the Boy Scouts of America. Walt has been instrumental in keeping Troop 36 running over the course of many years, and has served as scoutmaster in a Falls Church troop before moving to Rappahannock County. Pack 123 committee chairman and former cubmaster Opie Crawford, and Bob Lander, unit commissioner, received the 30 year Veteran Unit Award on behalf of Trinity Episcopal Church, the sponsor for both the Pack and Troop 36. The Council’s highest honor, the Silver Beaver Award, was bestowed on Mr. William “Yogi” Bear. Yogi is only the third Rappahannock recipient of this award, finding company with Judge Raynor Snead who received it in 1963, and the late Paul Nichols, former scoutmaster of Troop 36, who was a recipient in 1973. Yogi currently serves on the Troop 36 committee and its Board of Review. He serves the Shenandoah Area Council as council commissioner, a volunteer position which might be described as scoutmaster to scoutmasters. He is an Eagle Scout, has served as assistant scoutmaster to a Rappahannock troop in the 1980s, as former President of the local Lions Club, and currently serves Trinity Episcopal Church as Junior Wrrden. Rappahannock County is blessed with many who are willing to serve, one of the best reasons for living here. Walks in Shenandoah Park By Maureen Karris Special to the Rappahannock News Spring is coming, the weather is warming up, and this is a fine time for a walk in our “local” park, Shenandoah National Park. How fortunate we are to have Shenandoah just next door. A lovely but easy hike takes you to “Little Stony Man,” with a magnificent view across the Shenandoah Valley to the west. The total walking distance is only one mile. Along the way, look fov spring wildflowers at the edge of the trail, such as bloodroot, hepatica, spring beauty, cutleafed toothwort, and wild geranium. lb reach the beginning of the hike, drive west on Rt. 211 to the park entrance station at Thornton Gap. Drive south on Skyline Drive for about eight miles to a parking area on the right side of Skyline Drive. There is a large information sign there showing the hiking trail. (Skyline Drive has small concrete posts along the road showing mileage from the Front RoyaJ entrance station; the parking area is at 39.1 miles from the Front Royal station). Take the trail uphill for 50-yards to reach the Appalachian Trail and turn left. Walk along the Appalachian Trail for one-third mile until you reach a concrete signpost about 4 ft. high. Stay right at this point and walk another one-tenth mile, where you reach a clifftop (“Little Stony Man”) with outstanding views. Tb the west you can see the Massanuttan Mountain ridge, then the Shenandoah Valley, then Great North Mountain. On your left are the higher cliffs of “Stony Man.” 1 he total hiking distance from the parking area to the clifFtop is about one-half mile. The elifftop is a grand place to eat lunch, if you have brought a bag lunch with you. If you have not, you can drive 2 miles further south along Skyline Drive and have lunch (or dinner) at the Skyland Lodge, which has excellent food at very reasonable prices.

The Rappahannock News i3 looking for exemplary young persons to highlight each month acknowledging that they represent the very best this county has to offer. Students may be from public or private schools or home schooled. Grant approved for regional governor’s school Thanks to recent Virginia General Assembly approval of $100,000 in grant monies, the planning process will begin in earnest toward opening a Regional Academic-Year Governor’s School for seven school divisions, including Fauquier County Public Schools. Joining Fauquier County in seeking the grant monies were school divisions in Clarke, Culpeper, Frederick, Rappahannock, Warren and Winchester City. Lord Fairfax Community College is also participating in this initiative as a possible site and as support for curriculum decisions. Superintendent of schools Dr. Bob Chappell, who has been attending these joint meetings, is enthusiastic with the progress. “We are pleased the General Assembly approved the planning grant for a Governor’s School for our region. The northwest region of ' Virginia is one of the few areas of the state that does not have a Governor’s School program for academically talented students. We like the concept envisioned for this school of students participating in a half day Governor’s School program and a half day at their own high school, as this promotes student involvement in the academic, athletic, and fine arts opportu, nities at their high school. We also appreciate the willingness of LFCC to partner with the schools in our region to host the Governor’s School. Attending Governor’s School on the LFCC campus will give our students a structured transition to college life,” commented Chappell. Fauquier taking the lead Fauquier County Public Schools is acting as the fiscal agent for the planning grant. Funds from the grant will be used to address many different planning issues, including a regional governing 'board, curriculum development, ' instructional program, curricular resources, staffing needs and expectations, schedule, communication networks between the governor’s school and the base high schools, facility, transportation, course credit concerns, and community and business partnerships. Preliminary plans call for Band From Page A1 City. The RCHS Band played four compositions at the regional gathering, including “Our Heritage March,” “Invicta,” “Yorkshire Ballad,” and “A Tallis Prelude.” The RCHS Jazz Band at its appearance Thursday evening at the Rappahannock County High School whetted the audience’s appetite for more of its syncopated rhythms with spirited renditions of “Chameleon,” “Gringo,” and “Manteca.” The last piece is a popular Dizzy Gillespie composition blending jazz with both Latin and African beats that is always a crowd pleaser.

Cheri Mangrum, instructional coordinator for gifted/ talented and fine arts for Fauquier County Public Schools, described the next step toward a Regional Governor’s School now that grant monies have been approved. “We will begin to develop administrative procedures that will include goals, objectives, curriculum, course descriptions, staff selection and the student selection process,” she said. “Also, a Program Planning Board will be established. The proposed program will be taken to the Department of Education for review and then sent to the Board of Education for its recommendation for designation, with appropriate funding, as a Governor’s School.” Last spring parents, students, teachers and professional staff were surveyed to determine interest in a Regional Governor’s School. The survey revealed a clear need for a governor’s school in this region with a focus on mathematics, science and technology. Survey participants preferred a 9th-12th grade configuration, possibly at multiple sites to reduce student travel time. Preliminary plans call for a part-day, rather than full-day, program in order for students to maintain connections with their base high school. Barents and students have consistently demanded an additional service delivery model that provides gifted and talented learners with an accelerated and integrated curriculum. The design of the program will focus on a community of learners with a rigorous preparatory program that will be responsive to individual student differences and unique learning needs and allow students to be academically competitive when applying to colleges and universities. Superintendents in the participating school divisions were unanimous in their support for further pursuit of an AcademicYear Regional Governor’s School. This area is the only geographical region in the Commonwealth that does not offer access to an Academic-Year Governor’s School. Bland Music Contest held last month at The Theater in Little Washington. The band’s next major public appearance will be at the “Rivers and Roots Festival” to be held at Sunnyside Farms in late June.

The art department participated in the annual Lord Fairfax Community College Expressions Contest. Out of 100 entries received by Lord Fairfax our students captured the top three awards. First place went to Devin Day, second place went to Amanda Hartsock, and third place went to Nicole Espinola. Art I and II students attended a field trip in March to Old way Arts Center in Sperryville. Eric Kvames demonstrated glass blowing techniques to 29 art students. The trip was funded by the school’s Curriculum Enrichment Program. The art club has also been working hard this month to raise money for a new kiln and making ceramic pins for teachers. The club plans to sponsor a sidewalk art contest and a yam contest in the next couple of weeks. Puppet Show Last Thursday Rappahannock County Elementary School students were given a little treat thanks to the school’s Curriculum Enrichment Program. Heidi Rugg and Michael Bruckmueller of the Barefoot Puppets Theater from Richmond, Va., came to perform “The Little' Bread Hen” for the children and hold a series of workshops to show children and teachers liow to handle and operate the colorful puppets. “The day went exceptionally well,” expressed elementary school art teacher Harriette Rosenblatt. lasting aoouc an nour, the performance captivated the children’s attention the entire time. Unlike many puppet shows where only the puppets take the stage, the Barefoot Puppet handlers were an integral part of the play, often taking the stage to tell bits of the story or even interact with the characters. Each year the elementary school selects a grade that will put together a performance at the end of the school year. This year the second grade was selected, and a puppet show was the chosen venue. The Barefoot Puppet’s visit was incorporated into preparation for the end of the year performance in order to give the children an example of what they might be doing and to help them learn how to handle and work with puppets. “This group (Rugg and Bruckmeuller) were really able to pull the kids in and engage them,” stated Rosenblatt. Rosenblatt and assistant Davette Leonard will be working with the students to help them make their own puppets and scenery for the performance. Scheduled for April 28 the show is eagerly being awaited. Hearthstone School Hearthstone high school students are earning money for their class trip to Costa Rica in May by offering services for hire to the community. Students will earn community service hours by working in three orphanages during their travels. They plan to visit a volcano and a rain forest and have been studying the ancient culture of the Central American region in their daily lessons. lb sign up for assistance with yard work, house cleaning, babysitting, window and car washing, or gardening, please visit the lobby of Hearthstone School during school hours, and leave your name and contact information. Wakefield Country Day School Wednesday’s assembly included a delightful musical presentation by the French classes, led by their instructor Madame Lorraine Duisit. The first and second grade sang numbers one through fifty in French, the third, fourth, and fifth grades sang the conjugations of two significant verbs: etre and avoir, and then prep school French students Marguerite Beattie, Taylor Hammelman, Jordan Hammelman, Allison Russo and Katherine Russo played four stringed instruments — two handmade troubadour harps and two bowed psalters, while singing along with Madame Duisit a haunting French melody, Pavanne by Thoinot Arbeau, born 1520.

Photo courtesy of April Heddleston TRUE LOVE WAITS: Area youth participate in the 2004 party, which was hosted by local churches, encouraging Rappahannock County teens to abstain from sexual activity until they are married. This year’s event, “Lucky in Love” will be held on Sunday, Mar. 20 from 5 - 8 p.m. at the Washington Baptist Parish Han. ‘Lucky in Love’ on tap By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer In a day and time when America’s youth are being bombarded with mixed messages from the media and peers, local churches have come together encouraging Rappahannock County’s teenagers to maintain sexual purity. On Sunday, Mar. 20, numerous Rappahannock County churches will be hosting “Lucky in Love” — a St. Patrick’s Day fling at the Washington Baptist Church Parish Hall from 5-8 n.m. “We want to encourage teens that there is a better way to deal with sexuality,” said Joan Beattie, event organizer, “A way that will not do physical, emotional or spiritual harm to them.” • The event began in 1993 when April Heddleston of Sperryville started a program called “Friends to Mom,” helping teens who found themselves pregnant to see the pregnancy through to the end. This led her to a nationally acclaimed program, “True Love Waits,” where teens are encouraged to sign commitment cards as a written contract with God that they will abstain from sexual activity until marriage. Cards signed by local youth were joined by millions of other signed cards from all over the world,' and sent to Athens, Greece to be displayed at the 2004 Olympic games. “The party is held so that every teen in Rappahannock County can hear the message and sign a commitment card,” encouraged Beattie. While the party encourages youth participation, parents are invited to attend as well, to play games such as ping pong, basketball and participate in relay races. A buffet dinner is being served by the FT Valley Baptist Church, followed by praise dances performed by the Baptist church youth. Washington resident Ann Miller is slated to speak on the topic “Lucky in Love,” putting forth the question to teens, “Are you lucky in love?” She will encourage teens to wait to find the true meaning of love, sharing a bond with a spouse that no one else has shared by developing non-sexual relationships. “I hope teens will stick to their commitment,” Beattie said.

Is Rappahannock County ready for disaster? By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer For months, the media has been riveted with natural disasters worldwide •— earthquakes, tsunami, mud slides. In the past several years, the media has bombarded listeners and readers with views . of anthrax scares apd threats of biological warfare — fortunately none of these events have occurred in Rappahannock County. The question looms — what happens if those disastrous events did happen around the Rappahannock County area? That is the question that local public health, law enforcement and first responders have asked, bringing together a group called the Rappahannock-Rapidan Medical Reserve Corps in July, 2004. The group is recruiting volunteers to come together in the event of a disaster, with 223 members signing on, to date. The distressing fact is that only three of those members are from Rappahannock County. The remaining members come from the counties of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison and Orange. How do volunteers help? Rappahannock-Rapidan Medical Reserve Corps (RRMRC) brings practicing or retired medical professionals together with community members having no medical training to assist with providing preventive medicines and immunizations to large groups of people who have been RESERVE ORIENTATION: RappahannockRapidan Health District Emergency Planner, Kathy Hatter, explains how local volunteers will be able to assist health professionals during times of disaster. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jeanne Spath exposed to disease. This assistance also controls large communicable disease outbreaks. While the name of the organization may be misleading, volunteers do not need to be medical professionals. Actually, according to RRMRC Emergency Planner Kathy Hatter, there is plenty for volunteers to help, including paperwork, greeting, interpreters. Each volunteer indicates the area they would best serve the community. for tne most part, Hatter said, “only fifty-percent of the volunteers and staff have medical backgrounds.” The RappahannockRapidan Health District staff consists of 80 people, leaving the five emergency dispensing sites short-staffed by 236 people for an 8-12 hour shift without volunteers. In the event of a disaster, a site may need to be open around the clock for several days. Thus, the community plays an integral part in how prepared local health officials can be during crisis. Types of emergencies RRMRC is prepared to face large outbreaks of communicable disease, which could include influenza, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and meningitis. Volunteers could be called in to assist in the event of natural disasters, such as floods, hurricanes, fires, earthquakes or significant power outages. In the event of a terrorist attack, the group would convene at a dispensing site if there is threat of release of chemical agents, radiological threats or biological agents. Taking her orientation class this past Saturday, Susan Gahagen of Culpeper said, “I just wanted to do something that has a positive effect on the community, and living so close to D.C., there is a greater likelihood of things happening here.” Dispensing sites Five dispensing sites have been slated by RRMRC, the R a ppahannock-Rapidan Health Department Communications Center, Culpeper Middle School, Warrenton Community Center, Madison Fire Department and Prospect Heights Middle School. Due to the low number of residents in Rappahannock County in comparison to the other four counties, only a back-up site has been prepared if needed within the county. Rappahannock County volunteers could be bussed to the other localities, according to Hatter. The initial training takes approximately three hours, with one additional training each year being required. RRMRC is planning to coordinate an intrastate disaster drill in the fall of 2005 which would include all of the state of Virginia and surrounding states. lb sign up tor the Apnl zb, 2005 orientation, which will be held at the Washington Fire and Rescue Station from 9-12 noon, contact Claudia Vento, RRMRC Volunteer Coordinator, 640 Laurel Street, Culpeper, Va. 22701 or call 540-829-7350 for more information. Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers.com Sign language of the Soul Workshop By Virginie Audrain Special to the Rappahannock News A dear friend and former resident of Rappahannock county whose work was appreciated by so many is coming back April 9-10 to introduce the healing methods he has discovered and developed over the last 20 years of his chiropractic practice. Many may already have recognized Dr. Dale Schusterman. Visiting the Web Site www.SignLanguageoftheSoul. com gives way to marvel at the way life unfolds with Schusterman’s return to this area. After a public lecture Friday evening April 8th at the Rappahannock library, Schusterman will teach a two-day seminar at Belle Meade, April 9 and 10th from 9a.m. to 5p.m. In this workshop, bchusterman will present the very latest material and insights drawn from his unique synthesis since his book, “Sign Language of the Soul: A hand book for healing,” was published in 2003. In an interview with Voices of the New Earth, Schusterman explains how sign language of the soul is a way of using the hands as an interface between the body and the soul, pointing out that Renaissance painters often showed these hand positions in their art. In his chiropractic practice, Schusterman was already using hand signs called modes as part of the treatment modality. These modes were developed by Dr. Alan Beardall as a way of dialoging with the nervous system. Then, about 20 years ago, Schusterman recounts “I spontaneously placed my hands in a particular hand sign, which had a dramatic effect on me. I experienced tingling in areas surrounding my body in an unusual configuration. I then remembered years earlier having purchased a book on the Kabbalah. When I found the book and opened it to a picture of the Tree of Life, I saw a diagram of the areas that were tingling around me.” This was the beginning of a long journey, a profoundly interesting combination of’ gathering of knowledge, experience and deep inner work. The Tree of Life consists of ten circles that represent the spiritual design that is promulgated in the Kabbalah. In other words, the tree of life is a map of consciousness from the non-manifi st level of divinity to the manifest level of the physical world. When the hands are placed in a specific configuration, a pattern is created in the ner vous system that is consonant with one of the spiritual frequencies of the TVee of Life. Just as in music, through resonance an attunement is created. The great gift is that we can now learn how to do this to help our loved ones and ourselves. Brenda Van Ness feels strongly about this work being accessible to people from all walks of life. Attending the workshops are professionals seeking an effective tool to complement their current practice as much as the lay person interested in an effective self-care method. That we are fortunate to have Schusterman come to Rappahannock county to share his work did not escape Van Ness who found herself in an earlier Sign Language of the Soul workshop surrounded by people from all over the country and the world. The format of the workshop will be a comprehensive hands-on course where you will learn a quick and easy method to balance yourself or others, hand signs that profoundly center and balance the body, how to access the hidden issues behind illness, Kabalistic healing philosophy and much more. Gn a daily practical level, Schusterman recommends to do the Tree of Life activation process each morning to get clear and ready for the day and the balancing procedure at the end of the day. Contact Brenda Van Ness at 540-987-9527 to register for the workshop. Cost: $250 prior to March 31, $275 after.

Young vines and vintage wine abound at Rappahannock Cellars By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer With million year old mountains surrounding an area' founded in the 18th century, asking what is new in Rappahannock County seems rather contradictory. However, much is new at Rappahannock Cellars in Huntly, Va., a member of the Blue Ridge Wine Way. lhe hrst vineyard at the winery was planted only six years ago, with the first vintage being produced in 2000. Rappahannock Cellars 2004 vintage is the creation of a new winemaker, Stephen Barnard. Thus, a great deal is new in Rappahannock County as the proprietor, John Delmare strives to “continue to make great wines that are set apart as highly recognized wines with consistent quality.” While Delmare is a newcomer to the state of Virginia, he and his wife, Marialisa are hardly new in the wine industry. Marialisa’s family began their wine-making tradition on the island of Vis, which is near the Dalmatian Coast in the Adriatic Sea. Her grandfather traveled to America with the family tradition, passing it on to her father who settled in California. While growing grapes in the Santa Cruz Mountains, in California, at one of the oldest wineries in that area, the Delmares sought to find a more friendly place to raise their family and to grow grapes. They left California with their eight children and journeyed to Virginia in search of a place to plant their vineyards and raise the children on the farm. The search brought them to Front Royal, Va. where the Delmares had friends, and then across the mountain to Huntly where they purchased the Glen Gordon Manor and later found 15 acres of perfect land to grow grapes just off Rt. 522 in Huntly. Now, six years and four more children later, (yes, that is correct, the Delmares have 12 children ranging from 22 years old to 9 months) the Delmares are enjoying the fruits of their labor, producing award winning wines, some of which are internationally acclaimed. “A number of wineries begin as-hobbies that got out of control,” said John Delmare, “but it has always been a business to me. I got a lot of mistakes out of the way in California.” Mixing east with west Although Virginia often competes with California in the wine industry, Delmare has found a way to bring the two together. The final result is a blend of one-half Virginia Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, grown at Rappahannock Cellars and onehalf Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown at Delmare’s brother’s vineyard in northern California. The combination is a newfound product for the Huntly winery, New World Red. “We are proud of our California heritage, it gave us a leg up and it is who we are, part of our personality,” remarked Delmare, who is very proud of the Virginia-Califomia blend. New World Red is available only to Rappahannock Cellars Wine of the Month Club members. As for the other grapes that make Rappahannock Cellars wine, the vineyard located at the winery produces approximately one-half of the fruit used in their product. The remainder of the grapes are grown on properties in and around Rappahannock County, which are leased by the winery. Cultivating the vines Rappahannock Cellars has a vineyard manager on staff who is credited by their marketing and operations manager, Brian Delaney as being the one responsible for the quality of their wine. “Good grapes start with Tbm,” Delaney said. The vineyard manager is Tom Kelly, who joined the Rappahannock Cellars team in 2004. ^ Responding to a “help-wanted” ad for a local vineyard in Pa., he began doing, “grunt labor in the field.” His interest and passion grew, and although over the past ten years he has tried other work, he has come back to cultivating grapevines. “It gets in the blood and it is hard to shake it,” Kelly smiled, describing his passion. Ml Kelly describes the winter as his “crunch-time,” doing all of the pruning and crop balancing from December to March. “Bud-break will be between April 10 - 15 and all of the pruning has to be done,” he added. While many feel the palate of the winemaker is the key to successful winemaking, Bernard gives that credit to Kelly. ‘The best grapes I have to work with come from right here,” the winemaker said in a distinct South African accent, “I trace all of that back to Tbm’s work. He gives me a lot of potential - the attention and praise gc back to Tbm.” The winemaker Also entering the wine industry by accident is the winemaker at Rappahannock Cellars, Stephen Barnard. His story began as a young man who had earned degrees in enology and viticulture from the University of South Africa in Cape Town and Elsenberg Agriculture College in Stellenbosch. Barnard accepted a part-time job as a winery tour guide in Cape Tbwn. After working for several South African wineries, several whose existence dated back to the 17th century, Barnard decided to move to the United States to be a winemaker. Although he was offered positions with several California wineries, he chose Virginia instead, “Virginia offers much more of a challenge because it is much more climatic, making it more difficult to create consistent wines.” Barnard began his stateside career in Charlottesville, Va. at Keswick Vineyard and Winery and is already making waves as his first Rappahannock Cellars creations have recently been bottled. Barnard’s 2004 Voignier is a crisp blend of tropical fruit, with Delmare proclaiming, “I wish I could get them (2004 wines) bottled and get them out there now. They are extremely good, especially considering the 2003 sea mppa/mmi I R t, V A R n b^. »<*>« son.” “Those were the best grapes that we used in the (2004) Voignier,” Kelly said, “They were perfect for harvesting Ancient European technique Delmare and Barnard have worked closely together, borrowing ancient European Sherry making techniques to produce a totally new wine called “Solera.” A solera combines wines made in as many years as the solera has been established, taking the oldest wine in the bottom of a stack of barrels to the most recently produced wine. For Rappahannock Cellars, the blend is made with Vidal Blanc 2000 to present. In using the European technique, the wine is then “sunbaked” on the roof of the winery, resulting in a rich amber liquid with lingering tastes of toasted caramel, honey, almonds and pecans. The smooth balance makes this a perfect, dessert wine. While the art of making solera has been lost in recent centuries, Delaney proposes that, PERFORMANCE Since 2002, we have handled 56% of all properties over $700,000, more than ten times our nearest competitor.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jeanne Spath “Rappahannock Cellars is positioning itself as an industry leader in Virginia.” Award winning taste Although the winery is still in its infancy, awards have already begun gracing many vintages over the past several years. Perhaps the most prestigious award was for Rappahannock Cellars 2001 Cabernet Franc when it was awarded “Best Wine of the East Award” — which encompasses all wineries east of the Mississippi River. 1 he same vintage was awarded a gold medal at the 2003 Atlanta International Wine Summit. Those distinctions give .Rappahannock’s 2001 Cabernet Franc a higher rating than any white wine in the nation. The winery’s 2003 vintages have yielded six gold medals, 16 silver medals and 24 bronze medals, making this Rappahannock Cellars’ most successful year since its opening in 1999. “Of course we’re thrilled at Rappahannock to be blessed with such a strong reception for our Cabernet Franc,” remarked Delmare, “but we’re equally excited to know that the Virginia wine industry is home to the top white wine in the nation.” St. Patrick’s Day Rappahannock Cellars will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with live music from Magdalen Spring, Saturday, Mar. 19 from 2-5 p.m. and David LaFleur on Sunday, Mar. 20 from 1-4 p.m. Also available to the public for the first time will be Rappahannock Cellars 2004Viognier.

For several years now, Ki Theatre has hosted the popular poetry coffee house program but this event was a special evening dedicated solely to poetry presented by the children and young adults of Rappahannock County schools. The theatre was overflowing, with standing room only, as 34 students from first through 12th grades at Hearthstone School and Wakefield Country Day School mesmerized the audience with their poetry. The students opened their hearts and souls to the adults and all were touched by the camaraderie, enthusiasm and joy evoked by each of the youngsters performing on stage. First graders at Hearthstone School began the program. They had spent weeks creating their artwork and poetry, telling the story of “frozen frogsicles,” which arise in our countryside every year from their frozen slumber, awakening us all with their joyful spring choruses. One by one, the children would come to the stage and share their poetry. Themes of life, war, humor, nature and a wide range of human experiences were spoken aloud to a captivated audience. The silence was so deep one could hear a pin drop. Poetry is a unique language and art form that is transformative as the poem is able to communicate and touch people’s hearts and minds in a way that ordinary language is not. One poem that particularly evoked an empathetic chord in the audience was from Brian Turley, a junior high student from Hearthstone, who wrote a poem called “Dark PINTSIZE POETS: First grade students from Hearthstone School in Sperryville read their “Frogsickle” poems at Ki Theatre. From left to right are Daniel Vaughan, Kalila Plonka, Carolina LeonardSchimke, Jackson Heverly, and Schuyler Reynolds. Photo by Ray Bloc World.” His verses brought the audience into the experience of what it might be like to be deaf in a hearing world: I will try to get out of the dark world I can’t see anything in the dark world I want to be in the light world to see everything I can I know I will create my own world of light. Another poem with a philosophical tone was offered by Hans Shankle, another Hearthstone student. “A Life’ A Life is a very unique thing. It can’t be controlled nor can it control another. Every Life has a purpose, even if that Life does not know what that purpose is. A Life is supposed to experience Life. K you keep it from doing so, it will not be able to live. A Life is fragile and is not to be overlooked. It is so fragile even the strongest can be broken. Life can create life and Life can destroy another Life. A Life is a very unique thing — So never underestimate it. These powerful poems from the hearts of the county’s students touched the audience in a profound way. They were not only emotionally moved but instructed about the art of living. Their literary offerings awakened feelings, thoughts and experiences about unique and universal struggles about growing up and being different in our culture. Ki Theatre is grateful for the wellspring of support and enthusiasm from all the students, parents, volunteers and teachers who made this enchanting evening possible. The Theatre also is appreciative for the generous support of the National Endowment for the Arts, the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the William and Mary Greve Foundation, and individuals throughout the county whose donations make such programs possible. Ki lheatres Kids Poetry Coffeehouse is a pilot program. Organizers hope to sponsor it ' each year as an annual bridge building event that will feature poetry from the county’s public and private schools. “In our complex and troubled world, art is a necessity and poetry, created by our children and young adults, provides us all with a rich and vital gift that needs to be shared and released into the world we live in,” said Ray Bloc, one of the program coordinators. Further information on this and other Ki Theatre programs is available at 540-987-3164. Peenting and Twittering: The Woodcock’s aerial spring dance We must have clairvoyant readers! We were planning this column a few weeks ago when we heard from Marshall Jones about some of his late winter bird sightings. He wrote that woodcocks were “peenting” and doing their unmistakable aerial “twittering” displays, and mentioned that February 12th is the earliest that he and his wife Clay have recorded this activity in their part of the county (Keyser Hollow bordering Shenandoah National Park). We haven’t seen or heard woodcocks yet, but we always look forward to it. Woodcock displays are among the milestone natural events of the season. 1 he American Woodcock is one ot the oddest looking birds in a sandpiper family that includes many oddities. Plump, stocky birds with short legs, necks, and tails, very long bills, and dark eyes set far back on the head, woodcocks are never forgotten once seen. But they are typically shy and solitary, and only become a little more noticeable during their early spring aerial displays. They range across the eastern United States, typically wintering south of here and migrating north to breed. The county is on the boundary of the wintering and breeding ranges, so we likely have them here yearround. They are nocturnal and inhabit damp, young woodlands, feeding on earthworms and other invertebrates that they find by pok RappNature Sara and Jim Lawray ing their long pointy beaks into the soil. If you encounter one during the day, it explodes into the air with whistling wings. Like many shorebirds, woodcock males use aerial displays to advertise their availability to females. This sort of behavior is thought to be especially suited to open habitats that permit viewing over large areas, and woodcocks use forest openings or old fields for displays. At dusk, males can be heard “peenting” repetitively before beginning their rising circular flights, “twittering” as they fly. The sound is produced by movement of air over the outer wing feathers. At the top of the climb, they suddenly plunge toward the ground, making sharp turns' accompanied by chirping sounds. After landing impressively on the ground, they make the same nasal Image courtesy ol AWilsonplates Sora Rail (left) and American Woodcock from Alexander Wilson’s 1829 American Ornithology published by Collins & Co., New York. “peent” sound, and walk stiff-legged toward the (hopefully impressed) females. You can see (and hear!) this and other birds at the USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center’s Bird Identification Information Center (http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/id/ framlst/framlst.html). This sort of noisy aerial behavior is also typical of the Common Snipe, a relative of the woodcock that pass es through the county as it migrates from its wintering grounds to breeding grounds in the northern U.S. and Canada. Snipes are similar in appearance to woodcocks, but with slightly longer legs, a longer beak and boldly striped back. They prefer wetter, more open habitats such as pond edges with vegetative cover. Snipes migrate through the county around the first part of March. This is usually done at night, with males moving north ahead of females. Both male and female snipes will display during migration, but males display more frequently when they reach their breeding grounds in the north. The snipe display is similar to that of woodcocks, with sudden rapid dives from great heights. They are also very noisy, but the noise in this case is a loud whistling or “winnowing” sound resulting from air moving rapidly over outspread tail feathers. These amazing aerial displays are a wonder to see (and hear), and they are among the many natural events that serve as synchronizing agents for naturalists. This is because they happen during a short period at a single time of the year. They tell us what season it is. But there may be changes to the timing of many of these events caused by global alterations in climate. In ,his note about woodcocks, Marshall mentioned that studies done in northern states suggest that bird migration patterns are being altered significantly by climate change. He wonders if other residents have noticed changes in the arrival times of spring birds. We wonder, too. It’s certainly worth looking into. Many of you keep records of the dates you first see migratory birds in the county and you may have noticed changes. If so, send them to us at rappnature@aol.com Long View Gallery celebrates 5th Anniversary in Sperryville By Martin Woodard Special to the Rappahannock News Nancy Keyser and John S.

He says he has been influenced by just about every painting exhibition he has seen and choosing just one artist is like picking your favorite child. Corrao says each artist must paint the things that surround and touch his or her life because, after all, painting is visceral.

St. Patrick, the patron saint . *reland, is one of Christianity’s most widely known figures. After more than six years as a prisoner of Irish raiders, Patrick escaped to Britain, where he reported that God revealed to him that he should return to Ireland as a missionary. He began religious training, a course of study that lasted more than fifteen years. After his ordination as a priest, he returned to Ireland with a dual mission — to minister to Christians already living in Ireland and to begin to convert those who practiced a nature-based pagan religion. St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated on March 17th, is a religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. Since it falls during the Christian season of lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were Sperryville Nancy Ostinato 987-8444 oktsperryvillebookshop@iglicle.net waived and people would dance, drink and feast. ‘Although many people believe that the Irish feasted on corned beef and cabbage, not only on St. Patrick’s Day but on Easter Sunday as well, beef was a real delicacy usually served only to the kings. According to Bridgett Haggerty of the website Irish Cultures and Customs, research shows that most likely a “bacon joint” or a piece of salted pork boiled with cabbage and potatoes would have shown up in feasts in the rural parts of Ireland. Ibday St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by people of all backgrounds. At Sperryville’s Thornton River Grille, customers will be offered a menu of Irish fare on March 17th. The menu will include Cottage Pie, Lamb Stew, and Corned Beef and Cabbage. The Grille will be open for lunch 11-3 and dinner 5-9. For more information call 540-987-8790.

We have all heard stories about people who seemingly wait for important occasions to pass before they die, such as a terminally ill patient wanting to be there for her daughter’s wedding day. In fact, there are studies that support this phenomenon, including research showing declines in death rates among Jewish men before Passover and among elderly Chinese women before the Harvest Moon Festival. More recently, however, a statistician reviewed the death certificates of people who died of cancer from 1989-2000, and analyzed how many deaths occurred before and after three important dates Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the person’s birthday. No significant difference appeared before or after these dates, so the question “Does death take a holiday?” Still begs for a definitive answer. How we enter an leave this life is a mystery on many levels, and part of what we honor in a funeral is the grace and beauty of the end of a person’s life.

Local lady leads passionate tight To say that local resident Carolyn Leake is involved in the fight against cancer wouldn’t even begin to do her justice. Obsessed might just be the right term and it is readily obvious when you speak with her about it. Carolyn has placed her^ self as close to the frontlines as she can in her fight against cancer and through the efforts of herself, her family, friends, church, and community has raised several thousand dollars over the past few years. Last year alone Carolyn’s teams raised approximately $5,600.00 in their efforts to aid cancer research. At one time Carolyn says there were five teams from Chester Gap competing in the local relay for life but this year it looks like there will only be two. l had the chance to speak with Carolyn recently about her upcoming bake sale, to benefit her relay for life team. During the course of our conversation, the intensity in her voice when she spoke about her own fight with cancer and how much the efforts of others who wanted to help meant to her, I realized the intensity of her struggle. Carolyn is a cancer survivor herself, who knows first hand througl^her own experience and those of family and friends, just how devastating this disease can be. That is why she has worked so hard over the last seven years to raise funds for cancer research. As Carolyn says, “hopefully our children Chester Gap Chris Ubben 635-6094 bigshowl995@ yahoo.com or grandchildren won’t have to go through this horrible experience”. Carolyn has devoted innumerable hours to her labor of love and along with the help of family and friends held several different fund raising events each year. She’s held everything from the before mentioned bake sale to a woman-less beauty pageant! That’s right folks some local men are even willing to wear a dress and maybe even some make-up to raise money for the relay for life. Compared to that, buying a brownie or pie at the bake sale, seems like a pretty sweet escape! Carolyn’s team works very hard throughout the entire year to raise money for the relay for life, not just at the special events but each and every day as well. Bonnie Williams sells snack cakes at her work to help raise funds and is reported to have collected $250.00 so far. The team also sells candles, bracelets, and holds raffles. The goal of each team member is to raise a $100.00 each and the team as a whole to raise $1,000.00 but as Carolyn says, “once you get involved it’s hard to stop”. You can have anywhere from 5 to 15 people on a team and while it’s hoped you’ll be able to raise the full amount as a team I’m told that any effort that is given is greatly appreciated. Upcoming bake sale The bake sale is being held at the Shoe Show in Front Royal on March 25th at 9 a.m. This will be the 6th year that Carolyn’s team will have held this same bake sale and I understand that the items for sale have gotten better each year. In fact a certain lemon pound cake is reported to have come close to causing a few fights over who was going to get it! The other delicious items for sale will be cakes, pies, brownies, and candies and all proceeds will benefit the relay for life. I encourage all that are able to stop by and pick something out because this type of food makes you feel good twice, once when you eat it and then again knowing the worthy cause your contribution went to help! Also, please consider sponsoring someone in the relay for life event itself. Just like Carolyn told me, “relay for life members are dedicated to the raising of money to benefit cancer research so that one day a cure for cancer will keep our family and friends from suffering or dying from this horrible disease.” Mountain Views Less than 1 mile from Shenandoah national Park, situated on 9 acres, is this open floor plan contemporary, with 3 bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths.
