WASHED AWAY: The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) is all about stopping erosion, water pollution from livestock and at the same time increasing wildlife habitat.” Photo by Bruce Jones Helping landowners save the land By Bob Lander Special to the Rappahannock News Allow acreage to exist without interference and the land will become a grassy meadow with some shrubs and then some trees will grow. All of this plant life will be native to the area. They will grow to their expected life span and produce a continuing natural habitat that over time provides food and shelter for native insects, a myriad of animal species and a pleasant view shed. Over more time, these areas become what they will. Perhaps a meadow or a woodland that includes a variety of ecosystems that are “home” to the creatures that were here before we took over management of the environment. Nature does that. Rappahannock County is a rural area of farm country we enjoy living in and observing through seasonal changes. Most of the open space is managed, but some of it, unfortunately, is not. Acres have, literally, been abused. Clean streams are traces; woodlands, once standing tall, are brush piles. What does a iandowner that takes over stewardship of abused acreage do? Several old-timers as well as new residents know what is to be done. They see the potential of restoring and managing the land. They solicit help with their plan through various programs offered by federal and commonwealth agencies that assist with planning, See LAND, Page A3 Meetings & Notices • On March 28, the Town of Washington will hold a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and the Town Council at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall to continue the Comprehensive Plan review. • The Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District will hold a monthly Board Directors’ meeting on Tuesday, April 5 in Stanardsville, Va. at the Greene County Extension Office at 9:30 a.m. The Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District serves Culpeper, Greene, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties.

McNear, former Director of Planning in Fauquier County from 1972-1992, said, “the good news is that the county has maintained its goals to keep the county rural and protect agriculture. You have controlled scenic views of the county and prices of land and houses are a testimony to that.” Those issues are important to McNear as well, since he is also a resident of Rappahannock County, living on Gid Brown Hollow. McNear who currently serves as a representative to the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board, advised the county’s planning commissioners that there is new stormwater management regulations that are on the horizon with the board. McNear further commented that with the good news in Rappahannock County, there was also bad news to follow, which is in regard to rental properties in the county. The guest speaker asked how many of the lanning commission members have checked the prices of house rentals within the county, as well as the availability of rentals. In response to his own question, McNear advised that, “it is hard to find any rental property, especially moderately priced housing.” McNear further advised the commissioners that the group should be concerned with the possibility of individuals bringing forth exclusionary lawsuits, which state that certain classes of people have been excluded from housing opportunities within the county. According to McNear, the county needs to make provisions for moderate income and elderly around the villages See PLANNING, Page A3 DEALING DEMON: Frank Reynolds deals cards at Casino Night relieving people of their hard earned “funny money.” Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Ruth Purnell Cashing in at Casino Night By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer Stakes rolled high last Saturday night as the Rappahannock community gathered for Casino Night at the Washington School. Shouts of joy and cries of dismay could be heard as people won and lost thousands of dollars of “funny money” at the card tables. With all the proceeds going to help the Rappahannock County Schools Sports Association, losers could comfort themselves knowing their money was going to a good cause.

Rappahannock native brings By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer At the tender age of eight years old, Tareq Salahi began placing vines in the ground at what is now know as one of the largest wineries in the state of Virginia. What begaii as a hobby for his grandfather and father, has been cultivated into internationally acclaimed vintages for the Rappahannock native, with Oasis Winery, in Huntly, having sparkling wines rated in the top 10 in the world. “It was a hobby gone mad,” laughed Salahi, “we enjoyed the friendship, love and passion that went with planting a vineyard, but I did not expect it to grow like this.” Salahi is already preparing for Oasis’ 30th anniversary in 2007, which coincidentally is alsd the Commonwealth’s 400th anniversary in winemaking. Virginia wine history Having been named to the Governor’s Wine Council as well as being the founder of the Blue Ridge WineWay, Salahi is an avid historian of Virginia’s wine industry, which began in 1607 as the colonists planted the first vines quickly after arriving on the shores of Jamestown, Va. By 1609, the harvest yield66 Virginia has more experience now, more wineries are being developed and we are making better wines. Tareq Salahi' ed Virginia’s first vintage, with vineyard specialists arriving from England in 1611. Winemaking was not successful in the colonies until 1773 when Thomas Jefferson gave 2,000 acres of land to Philip Mazzei, believing that native grapes would be the foundation for successful winemaking. Jefferson continued to study wines, becoming a wine adviser to several American presidents, even selecting the first wines to be stocked in the White House at the request of George Washington. M ronowmg mis inaeptn history, the Virginia General Assembly has recently begun to increase its support of the wine industry throughout the state, which Salahi feels has helped the state to become one of the top producers in the world. “Virginia has more experience now, more wineries are being j developed and we are I making better wines, he said, adding that the assistance of science research done by Virginia Tech has reaped incredible dividends to improve the state’s industry. Salahi also credits Governor Mark Warner for his avid support of wine and agri-tourism growth within the state, indicating that Virginia is now a larger producer of wines than Napa Valley, Gnlif Furthermore, ^^BB Salahi praises the rich soils throughout Virginia, “the soil here is identical to that in Bordeaux, France, which is the world’s best soil.” Salahi added that Virginia winemakers have now found that one of the best places to plant vineyards is on the “cool Join Us For Easter Branch!

He thought of how people come from the hustle and bustle of the larger northern Virginia cities, traveling to fhe warm personalities of the people in Rappahannock, surrounded by the most beautiful mountains he had ever seen. Thus, in 1977, he looked at his family and said, “this is an oasis.” The term “ stuck, with the name Oasis Winery now Deing uea 10 ine nun largest winery in the state. Although Salahi grew up with an interest in cultivating grapes for winemaking, he left his home to gain all the knowledge he could to make some of Virginia’s best wines. Salahi earned his bachelors degrees in enology, vita culture and business management from University of California, Davis near San Francisco and Sacramento. After completing his education, Salahi headed out to see winemaking firsthand throughout the world, including stops in Napa Valley, New Zealand, Australia and South America as an intern. “I was able to study stylistic approaches, not just find out how to make wine,” he said of his journeys, “getting to sit and listen and taste some of the worlds best wines from the worlds best winemakers was a great experience.” In 1994, he came back to Rappahannock County, ready to fulfill his dream, utilizing the marketing trends he had seen worldwide. Salahi’s passion The winemaker is quite enthusiastic when talking about the beautiful views at his winery, the tastes of the his tantalizing wines and of course the growth of the wine industry throughout Virginia. However, the gleam in his eye matches the sparkle in his world renown champagne at the mere mention of the sparkling wine. “It was fate — destiny,” Salahi said, describing his knack for producing incredible champagne. unampagne puts a gutter in my eye, it brings me to life, a remarkable charge. There is nothing like it,” Salahi added. Fate, or destiny, brought a Wine Enthusiast critic, Charles Laverick, to the Oasis tasting room in 1999, bringing about what Salahi calls the winery’s turning point. This critic declared Oasis’ champagne to be one of the best he had ever tasted, taking it to a blind taste test with Wine Enthusiast Magazine and The World Wine Championships Competition. The 1999 Hobday edition of the magazine pronounced Oasis’ Brut to be one of the top 10 Champagnes and SparkUng Wines made in the world. Salahi’s newest champagne, Rose ‘O’, is from his 1988 vintage, and will be released in May, 2005. “It is a beautiful champagne, made of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, a beautiful pink color that has been aged for 16 years with yeast in a tradition Methode Champenoise — a technique used in France, one Fully Insured • Bonded C.R.

FRIDAY ft 8AM-6PM WEDNESDAY 8AM8PM SATURDAY 8AM-2PM f AWARD WINNERS: Wines and champagnes at Oasis have claimed international awards, with the sparkling wines being named among the top 10 in the world. I want people to know they don’t have to travel to California or France — they can come visit wine country right in your own backyard. You may just find out that you’ll be Virginia’s next vendor. Tareq Salahi of the most exclusive and expensive ways to make champagne in the world.” Rose ‘O’, which is a very exclusive champagne, will be available only at Oasis Winery (at $300 per bottle) and served exclusively at the Inn at Little Washington. “We could have sold this champagne anywhere in the world, but there is no better home for it than at the Inn, I want to keep it in Rappahannock,” Salahi said. For those who don’t want to purchase an entire bottle, the 1988 vintage will be available for tastings by the glass. A wine for everyone While Oasis cultivates exclusive champagnes, Salahi prides himself on producing a wine for everyone. “My philosophy is not to make wine intimidating,” he said, “but to make wine fan.” For the first time at Oasis Winery, Salahi is bottling 187 milliliter bottles with screw caps. This will be for wines that do not need to age in the bottle, as the screw cap does not allow the wine to breathe like a cork would. These bottles are being provided to airlines and Wolftrap currently, selling the Chardonnay and Cabernet at $5 per bottle. “It is basically a way to encourage Virginia tourism,” Salahi said. Oasis’ Blush — Dogwood Flower Label, is a light, crisp, refreshing wine, perfect for sitting on the Oasis Winery deck, soaking in the beauty of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains and view of the Skyline Drive. “It is great to have critics give awards to our wines,” Salahi beamed with pride, “but the most important judge is the consumer. It is always wonderful to hear people come in and taste our wines, commenting what a nice surprise it is to find out that Virginia has such nice wines.” Those drop-in visitors are the backbone of the consumer market for Oasis, having 460,000 tasters come to the winery. “I want people to know they don’t have to travel to California or France — they can come visit wine country right in your own backyard. You may just find out that you’ll be Virginia’s next vendor.” Oasis Winery also offers custom labels to be made for their wines, especially for weddings or special functions. Vision for Virginia In 1995, Salahi made a speech standing on his own deck, overlooking 100-acres of vines, and declared that by the year 2007 there would be 100 wineries throughout the state of Virginia. It is now 2005 and the state is only two shy of that number, boasting 98 wineries statewide. “I am preparing a speech now to give before Governor Mark Warner and my statement will be that by the year 2015, there will be 200 wineries in the state of Virginia,” Salahi added, "Hie more wineries that come into Virginia, the more people there are to work together. I would welcome 20 new wineries on Hume Road — Virginia is the future and heart of wine in America.” Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers.com There's just one place near D.C. where you want to see a tailgate up . close.

McNear said that he understands that is not as important to many people who simply want to stay within the county, and are happy to utilize the small hometown markets that are available. Phil Irwin, of Flint Hill, asked McNear if there are any regulations that would force the county to provide low or moderate income housing. In response, McNear said that there are no requirements, but advised the zoning should not be so strict as to prohibit such housing. At the end of the discussion, county administrator John McCarthy responded that he would like to be able to point to areas within the county where moderate income housing has been established, showing no exclusion in Rappahannock County. Additional business of the planning commission included the appointment of member Thomas Ttepper, of Castleton, to be the commission’s representative to the newly formed Water Quality Advisory Committee.

Conserve and preserve One program currently employed by several county landowners is the Conservation Reserve Enhancement program (CREP). The Rappahannock News has previously published information about this program. Informational pamphlets are available from the Extension Office and conservation organizations. A call to the USDA field office in Culpeper will provide detailed information about the program and help with beginning a project. To see a CREP project in process for one year, The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) is sponsoring a guided tour of Bruce and Susan Jones’ farm on three dates during April. The “walk” through meadows and woodland will illustrate why the program was started, the plan, its installation, and beginning results. Attendees will be able to observe native plants, birds and other creatures now living in the environment that is an on going project the Jones’ began about 12 years ago. Work on their land located on Long Mountain Road started with water to attract native wild life. Ponds were constructed. Wildlife took up residence. They watched with enjoyment while learning about the creatures and their needs. Native wild plants and grasses were experimented with and naturalized. With these plants came more birds and animals. Pond pondering Two years ago, Bruce Jones noticed that things about and around the ponds were changing. Animals living there had left and plants at the edges were different. The ponds were “silting up.” He discovered that soil from the grazing meadows above the ponds was being eroded and ending up in the ponds; thus, the change in habitat. Bruce and Susan began planning a strategy to correct the situation. USDA was contacted, a plan was developed and installed under Bruce’s supervision. “It will be several more years before we see big results, but, were already noticing small improvements in the area,” said Susan Jones. The walking tour is planned to enable visitors to see the total project, observe wildlife and inspect native plants that will be popping up through the soil. , Bruce Jones will be discussing the project and opportunistic events along the way. CREP is all about stopping erosion, water pollution from livestock and at the same time increasing wildlife habitat. Jones advises attendees to bring binoculars. KLtr President, raui Farmer, invites the public “to participate in this ‘first hand’ learning experience from a neighbor that has been restoring native habitat for many years.” Each walk is limited to 25 so that all may benefit from the observations and discussions. The dates for the three walks are Sunday, April 3, at 2 p.m.; Monday, April 4, and Thursday, April 7 at 3 p.m. Please call Bruce or Susan Jones at 540-675-3152 for reservations. Heard It Through The Grapevine Rappahannock writer wanders through Virginia’s vineyards By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Wineries and vineyards are popping up all around the state of Virginia, vintages claiming awards formerly presented to California wineries. In light of such growth, Rappahannock resident * .Walker Elliott Rowe has recorded his journey throughout Virginia’s wine country in his recently released book, ‘Wandering through Virginia’s ■Vineyards.’ Perhaps of interest to Rappahannock wine enthusiasts is Rowe’s chapter entitled, ' “The Wine Country Gateway,” which speaks in depth of winemaker Chris Pearmund. Pearmund, who owns Pearmund Cellars, located near Gainesville, Va., has been credited by many Rappahannock County winemakers for helping them get their own wineries off the ground. According to Rowe’s book, Ray Olszewski, president of the Hunt Valley chapter of the American Wine Society, calls Pearmund Cellars the “gateway to the Virginia wine countrv” This chapter goes on to include how Pearmund and local wineries, such as Rappahannock Cellars and Unicom Winery, work together to make this budding industry blossom throughout the state. Rowe has also intertwined Virginia history into his travels, highlighting Rappahannock County’s Gray Ghost Vineyard and it’s link to Virginia’s Civil War history. This Rappahannock County writer’s interesting travels, including his own experience working at Horton Vineyards in Orange County for six months, has been published by The Apprentice House Book Publishing Club. ror more nuormauon, log onto the Internet at www.ApprenticeHouse.com Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers.com Blue Ridge WineWay launches wine lover’s passport program Wine lovers planning to explore Virginia wine country , this spring can save money and get VTP treatment by purchasing a new Blue Ridge Wine Way Wine Lover’s Passport.

Some county residents have rallied and are talking about slicing off a portion of western Loudoun County to call it their own and reclaim the land from extensive development. They are calling themselves Citizens for Catoctin Comity (CCC) and they are uniting to work up a plan, set boundaries, start petitions, look at costs and perhaps most importantly start to lobby those folks in Richmond about creating a separate county — something that hasn’t happened in Virginia in over a hundred years. On the positive side, cities have been created dur{ ing that time frame with populations far less than the proposed Catoctin County so the notion isn’t without precedence. When it comes to battles between the minority and the majority, the majority may win but it doesn’t mean that-they are always right. No doubt the CCC will arm themselves for battle as best they can. Their odds aren’t strongly in their favor but their fight has merit and Virginians are tough. Residents of Rappahannock can watch from afar how this newly emboldened group fares. Perhaps the winds of change will blow favorably for them. H > new governor hey’re off to the races and while several weeks ago, political pundits would have agreed that it would be a Kilgorp-Kaine competition there are several others who have thrown their hat in. Kilgore visited the Rappahnnock News several weeks ago as one of several stops he had planned that day. Touting a message of “honest reform” across the board in reference to taxes, transportation and education, Kilgore emphasized “making Virginia great again.” In the last gubernatorial race of 2001, this paper endorsed Democratic candidate John Warner for governor as well Tim Kaine(D) for lieutenant governor. Jerry Kilgore garnered the endorsement as the Republican candidate for attorney general. Both Kaine and Kilgore were winners. In all likelihood, it will come down to a race between those two and residents in Rappahannock will have to decide where to place their votes for the next governor. Wonder if any of the candidates will take up arms for the CCC. Slow down, you move too fast On a recent weekend, the Sheriff’s Office ran into a bit of a dilemma when one of their officers attempted to stop a vehicle. The problem was the vehicle just kept on going and going for mile after mile seemingly oblivious to the county marked car. When a car doesn’t immediately pull over or pull over in timely manner, the action indicates that something more may be going on than speeding. Don’t heap blame on yourself if it isn’t warranted — pay attention, slow down, pull over if signaled to — better yet, don’t cause them grief in the first place. • ' ...tm-V.fUEtt « NO *OIW*T 1AM3E TUW CmJLD WE YOU ■MWim.,.. WNI!V I til Letters Local resident favors Fitch for governor George Fitch is a zealous fiscal conservative willing to reclaim Republican leadership on environmental issues. He is mayor of Warrenton and candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Virginia. fitch decries that Virginia is losing its open space, historic sites, forests and farms at an alarming rate, he says “we can either continue as victims of this rapid growth or we can plan for it, shape it and emerge better from it.” Fitch wants to coordinate land use planning with transportation planning through regional authorities, not VDOT, letting the regional authorities decide on the transportation projects to be funded. He wants to require that infrastructure improvements keep pace with new development, with the private sector making the infrastructure improvements. He also advocates a higher priority on expanding high capacity public transportation systems including light rail, commuter rail, and bus rapid transit. It is wrong, Fitch maintains, that Virginia spends the least amount of money on conserving natural resources than any of the 50 states. It also is wrong that the budget for conservation programs has been slashed more than 50 percent, while all other state programs have increased. Fitch intends to restore funding for the Natural Resources Secretariat, create a Virginia Conservation Trust Fund for the protection of open space, wildlife, and recreational areas, and increase the amount of funding for water quality improvements. tie will pay tor these programs by eliminating waste in the state’s programs, as he did as mayor of Warrenton. As mayor, Fitch lowered real estate taxes by almost eighty percent, personal property taxes by fifty five percent, and business taxes by twenty two percent. This was accomplished while retiring a three million dollar debt and doubling cash reserves. Comparable fiscal management of the state will allow Fitch to cut waste, allocate appropriate money to environmental protection, and lower taxes. Striding out of the environmental void that the state and national Republican leadership have sadly embraced. Fitch is the kind of candidate that many Republicans have been waiting for — fiscally conservative and environmentally sound. W.

The balloon had a card attached that read “Hi balloon finder!” The message was from Troy Garver of New Concord, Ohio. As requested, David sent the card back to the youngster, using the U. S. Postal service instead of nature’s winds on the return trip. After much effort a gasoline tank has been installed near the county jail for use by the Sheriff’s Department.

Gov. hopefuls blanket the region By Dominic Bonaiuto Rappahannock News Staff Writer Virginians are still more than seven months away from electing a new governor, but the candidates are wasting no time putting their mugs and messages on display for the commonwealth’s most voter-rich region. Republican Jerry Kilgore will land in fast-growing Loudoun and Prince William counties later this week as he caps a five-day tour of the state to offi Kaine pushes property tax break; Kilgore pushes tax cap By Dominic Bonaiuto Rappahannock News Staff Writer Republican Jerry Kilgore and Democrat Tim Kaine have introduced competing proposals to ease the burden on local real estate taxpayers. Kaine was first out of the box last week, saying he will push for a constitutional amendment allowing cities and counties to exempt up to 20 percent of a house’s assessed value when it comes time to calculate the actual tax bill. “Many people have had the experience of their homes increasing in value on paper, but they cannot access that to help pay for the increased taxes,” Kaine said during a conference call with reporters while touring Northern Virginia. Kilgore followed suit this week proposing his own constitutional amendment for a 5-percent cap on the annual increase in residential assessments unless a property is sold or improved. “Under my plan, tax relief is not an option left to local officials; it’s a guarantee from me to you,” he said at a Tuesday rally in Arlington. Kilgore said it is deceptive for local officials to say they’ve cut taxes by lowering the tax rate when bills are still going up due to higher assessments. Home owners across Northern Virginia sire staring at increases of 20 percent or more this year alone. Most have seen their values, and their tax bills, double in the last four or five years. Kunaway real estate tax assessments are forcing some Virginians to lose their homes,” Kilgore said. Local governments have tried to respond by lowering their tax rates or targeting relief to those hardest hit by the increases, particularly senior citizens on fixed incomes. “Right now, if local governments want to respond to home owners, they have to lower the rate for everybody,” said Kaine, a former mayor of Richmond. “What we want to do is give locals the ability to target relief right to home owners.” Kilgore’s proposal may sound familiar to Fairfax voters, who rejected a similar idea from Republican Mychele Brickner in her 2003 bid for county board chairman. Democrat Gerry Connolly,. who won that race, said a cap on assessments would jeopardize the county’s ability to maintain its high service standards, particularly in education. Neither candidate’s proposal faces an easy ride. The Republican-controlled legislature has rejected similar proposals to cap or exempt portions of real estate assessments in recent years. In addition, both Kaine and Kilgore’s proposals would have to pass two sessions of the legislature and then win statewide voter approval before becoming law. dally roll out his campaign. At a rally in Arlington Tuesday morning, the former attorney general proposed giving voters veto power over future tax increases through referendums. “Government should not tell people how much it wants,” he said to a crowd of about 300. “The people should tell government how much it gets.” Democrat Tim Kaine got a slight jump-start on his likely November opponent, launching his own tour of the state last week with several stops in Northern Virginia. Formally announcing his candidacy in Herndon, the lieutenant governor touted the successes of the Warner administration and pledged to lead the See GOVERNORS, Page A6 LADIES 35% Off Misses Requirements related separates.

School Briefs Hearthstone School Wendy Sirat and Pine Phillips, Hearthstone’s gardening teachers, enjoyed helping Hearthstone students prepare for the coming of spring last week. The soil in the garden beds of each class were enriched with compost, the straw used for mulch lays over the mounds to protect emerging seedlings from any remnants of winter, and the anticipation in the children grows as they wait to see what comes up. The discovery of a multitude of frog eggs in the wetland area and hearing the song of the peepers turned their attentions to reciting spring verses and singing their songs of springtime in the lower school. Ms. Sirat and Mr. Phillips also shared an opportunity to enjoy welcoming in spring with drumming circles. Each class had an hour of fun using one of their 50 varieties of percussion instruments from around the world. Following a basic rhythm, students were allowed to improvise and discover a sound that could blend in with the beat. Skillfully directed by the instructors, there was joy on everyone’s face as each individual contribution added to the full sound that was created. On March 19 they opened their doors to community members of all ages to participate in an evening drumming circle. Below is a spring poem by Hearthstone student Vanessa Yvette Dunn. Spring Sonnet 1 Spring is a warm season with bright nice days, The sky is blue with clouds of white and gray, Flowers are fresh and bright with light today, The breeze is cool and clear as it can be, The sun shines bright as you can see, Water flows down rivers and streams so free, The trees were bare and now are blooming, too. The birds do soar high in the sky, it’s true. The season is a new beginning, too. People start to garden and grow new plants, Insects are out and about like the ants, People love to hike up the hills that slant, Spring is a nice, happy season, oh WOW, And everything is almost blooming now!

The Spanish class went to Jalisco’s Mexican restaurant in Front Royal for lunch, where they ordered and conversed in Spanish, and grades three and four traveled to Washington, D.C. to visit the National Museum of the American Indian, and the Museum of Natural History. ’ Excellent execution The WCDS dance team, consisting of Mary Davis, Joy Heddleston, Amber Larkins and Madeline Larkins, traveled with their coach Evelyn Oyster to Paramount King’s Dominion on Saturday, to compete in the amusement park’s Annual Dance Festival. This is the third year the team has participated with other schools and dance studios in the event. Previously the team had achieved the rank of “Good.” This year, the group performed to the tune “Let’s Get This Party Started,” showing great poise, grace and style and they were rewarded with a rating of “Excellent” and a team trophy. Tsunami efforts continue On Saturday, the school also served as the venue for a meeting of Rappahannock County’s Thailand Tsunami Relief organization, where participants had the opportunity to hear from Thailand’s Ambassador to the United States, Kasit Piromya. Ambassador Piromya gave an update on conditions and needs for the hardest-hit areas of his country. Attendees also viewed a video produced by Wakefield’s seventh grade world geography class, which was created to highlight their concern for the Tsunami vietims. WCDS students will be participating in the relief organization’s adoption and restoration efforts for a specific rural fishing village in Thailand, and they also will be starting a “pen-pal” program with children in Thailand, with translation help forthcoming from the . Thai Embassy. The school rounded out the weekend with a Middle School “Spring Fling” Dance on Saturday evening, attended by students in grades six through eight.

By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock Times Learning history is much more inspiring if you can visit the place you are studying. While traveling to the days of medieval England is no longer possible as a field trip, Wakefield County Day School does the next best thing. With the help of its students, teachers and parents, the school recently held its annual “Medieval Banquet” to show lciHs hnw neonle mieht have dressed, played and eaten in those long ago times. Students in the third through the seventh grades along with their parents and teachers transformed themselves into characters from the Middle Ages, complete with period costumes. Nearly everyone at the banquet became pages, damsels, squires and ladies for a rousing good time. A “King and Queen of the Court” were chosen for the boy and girl in the 7th grade who has maintained the highest grade point average in British history. This year’s awards went to Frazer MacPherson and Abby Whitaker. Food that would have been eaten in that period was laid out in a feast fit for a king and queen. The sights, flavor and aroma of a sumptuous buffet of roasted meats and many varieties of nuts and fruits tempted everyone’s taste buds. To add authenticity to the experience, all were required to bring their own wooden “trencher board” to partake of this feast. Napkins purposely were not available so students could learn how people cleaned their fingers in those times. They wiped them on their pants or skirts! Games popular during medieval times were the highlight of the afternoon. Jousting and Quarter Staff (“Little John on the Bridge”) and archery were very popular with students lining up time after time to see who could best the other. And it wasn’t always size that determined the winner, either. Balance and skill were more important than size or physical strength in many cases. Face painting and fortune telling were also popular events. In addition to a challenging “treasure hunt” Photo by Richard Lykes COURT JESTER: Costume winner (as jester) is Brian Shafran center, with Bret Heddleston on the left and Timothy Pressler on the right. to test the students knowledge of every comer'of the Manor, the evening ended with the traditional “pancake race.” Going back in time for these students, as in a time machine, was a fun learning experience. The smiles and screams of delight heard throughout the Great Hall were testament to the rousing good time had by all. There’s a brand new SAT in town for test-takers By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer Being first is usually something to be sought after. But, what if that something is being the first to take a brand new test. On Saturday March 12, Rappahannock County High School students took the new version of the SAT (Student Achievement Test) which was offered for the first time. In an attempt to make the nationally acclaimed test better reflect what students are actually studying in this day and age, the format of the SAT has undergone some changes. Doing away with analogies, and incorporating a writing section as well as higher math, has made the test different, but not more difficult states the College Board. According to the College Board, analogies are being dropped because it is felt they are outdated and promote “rote memorization of vocabulary words,” while higher math questions are being added because more and more students who apply to college are completing at least three years of math. The essay portion, which takes approximately 25 minutes, is graded according to its sum as a whole. While graders will be looking at content, effective use of language, and the complexity of thought, they will be grading the essays as first drafts. Graders do not expect students to write a fully polished essay in 25 minutes and even with a few spelling and grammar mistakes students can still earn perfect scores. It is also felt that the writing portion will give students a better chance to express and apply what they have learned in school. Below is a sample of an essay question that can be found on the new SAT. “Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: A sense ol happiness and fulfillment, not personal gain, is the best motivation and reward for one’s achievements. Expecting a reward of wealth or recognition for achieving a goal can lead to disappointment and frustration. If we want to be happy in what we do in life, we should not seek achievement for the sake of winning wealth and fame. The personal satisfaction of a job well done is its own reward. Assignment: Are people motivated to achieve by personal satisfaction rather than by money or fame? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, nr observations.” Student Response Less than 10 Rappahannock County High School students took the new SAT that Saturday. Many had taken the previous version offered several months ago. Eleventh grader Jacob Dodson of Flint Hill said, “I didn’t take the old test, but the new one is hard.” Another student who wished to remain anonymous stated that the writing portion of the test, “seems like a good addition since it can be indicative of a student’s critical and intellectual thinking.” Students also said the math questions were difficult.. One student claimed he had not yet learned some of the math required to answer the questions while another stated the difficulty with questions involved material the student had learned but not recently practiced. Beyond 1600 Not only is the newly revised SAT new in content but it will be new in scoring as well. Achieving the once coveted perfect score of 1,600 probably won’t cut the mustard on college applications these days. When the College Board releases the results of the March 12 test in April, the first of the new format, student testtakers can look to capturing the new coveted perfect score of 2,400 — 800 each on math, critical thinking and writing. Prep courses, anyone? What is the College Board? Founded in 1900 and comprised of over 4,500 schools, colleges, universities, and other organizations dedicated to education, the College Board’s mission is “to connect students to college success and opportunity.” On their web site the Board states, “The SAT measures how well students apply what they have learned in school to analyze and solve problems as they would in college. The skills measured on the SAT are related to those skills needed for success in college.” For more information on the new SAT visit www.collegeboard.com. Ruth Purnell may be reached at rpurnell@timespapers.com Governors From Page A5 state with a similar centrist, pro-business, pro-education focus. “We’ve learned that, when we do things together in Virginia, we succeed,” Kaine said in one of many references to his willingness to take a bipartisan approach to policy. As if that were not enough to satiate a political junkie’s fix, Warrenton Mayor George Fitch, who is challenging Kilgore in a party primary June 14, visited about 150 honor roll students at Chantilly High School last Thursday. “I believe I have the solutions for Virginia, and I am not going to be deterred because some people say I haven’t paid my dues to the party,” said Fitch, who noted the state could save millions using better business practices. A fourth candidate, Sen. Russ Potts of Winchester, who is running as an “Independent Republican,” will soon hit the road himself, according to a spokesman. Political celebrity Every candidate traveled with star power, political and otherwise. Kilgore was flanked at various events this week by U.S. Sens. John Warner and George Allen and former Gov. Jim Gilmore, who oversaw the Republican Party’s historic climb to power during his term at the statehouse. Looking to impart his bipartisan backing, Kaine traveled last week with Democratic Gov. Mark Warner and his father-inlaw, Linwood Holton, a popular Republican governor in the early 1970s who now lives in McLean. Warners own star status was reflected in Herndon, where he was greeted with shouts of “08,” in reference to widespread speculation about him being a future presidential contender. Fitch is a star in his own right, having inspired the 1993 Walt Disney movie “Cool Runnings” about his founding of the unlikely Jamaican Olympic bobsled team. “If you believe in something, do not be discouraged by people who say it’s impossible or can’t m BUILD YOUR® SAVINGS; ,-iM *400 Orttadf <3Hm *U Nfenary JO- 2. 2005 V $999.

Pols give and get an earful The day after his kickoff tour, Kaine met with residents of the Greenspring Village retirement community in Springfield, where he was quizzed about recent cuts in federal support for education and health care. He said both Democratic and Republican governors are objecting to the cuts because they pass the burden onto the states. The former mayor of Richmond said Virginia has to be careful not to pass the costs on further to local governments, where taxpayers are likely to feel the pinch in the form of higher property taxes. Both Kaine and Kilgore are making property tax relief a central campaign theme. “They need to watch what’s happening demographically,” said Elaine Sorensen, president of Gieenspring’s Residents Council. “I know we’re a burgeoning part of the population. We need to prepare now for what the needs will be five or 10 years from now or it will be too late.” Recent data show that, by 2025, one in five Virginians will be over the age of 65. During a 40-minute discussion with voters at the other end of the voting age spectrum, Fitch told the high school seniors to stand by their beliefs no matter the cost. Senior Jake Bradenburg, who voted for President Bush last November, said he was impressed by Fitch’s work to spur business growth in Warrenton “I was planning on just voting for Kilgore, but Fitch seems to have a lot of experience in government, so well see,” he said. Rappahannock staff writers Matthew Perrone and Kali Schumitz contributed to this report.

New coach on board for Rapp High School girls soccer RETURNING STARTERS: Prospects are looking good for Panther girls soccer with eight returning starters. From back left, Laura Wheatly, Ellie Dodd-Henze, Lauren Kaye, Paige Lysaght, Megan Humbles. In front from left, Helen Hutcheson, Alicia Vanegas and Lisa Maloney. By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer For parents and fans on the sidelines of Rappahannock County High School girls’ soccer, the man at the helm of the team seems quite unassuming, that is until he begins moving a soccer ball down the field. For J.C. Maldanano, soccer is simply a way of life. “I have played soccer for 34 years, my whole life, since I was in my -mother’s womb,” the smallstatured man with a distinct Chilean accent laughed. Maldanano came to Rappahannock County this school year in an exchange program with the Visiting International Facuity program (VIF), of Chapel Hill, N.C. having taught English in Santiago, Chili. He currently teaches Spanish at the Rappahannock County High School. “I wanted to live in the countryside, not like in Santiago where there are five million people,” he said, adding that he has brought with him his wife, Patricia, daughter Pamela and son Lucas. While this is Maldanano’s first time coaching a girls’ soccer team, he has learned much in just a few short weeks with the team. I hey are fun, I could see that some knew how to play soccer a little at first, but now I realize they are improving,” the coach praised. Improving is an understatement for the team that did not win a game last season. Last week the team kicked off this season with a 2-0 loss to Warren County and a 0-0 tie against Central of Woodstock. “I am very happy with the tie game because I can see the girls are applying what we are working on dining the week,” Maldanano said. As for the loss to Warren County, the coach truly wanted the win, but realized that the competitor had 18-out-of-20 “good, really good” players. The team does have eight returning starters, which will give it a boost this season. Returner Megan Humbles has definitely caught the attention of the new coach, “She is out there on Saturdays, learning all she can and realizing she is not just supposed to kick the ball in the air. She is really contributing to the team.” Also returning this season are Laura Wheatly, Ellie DoddHenze, Lauren Kaye, Paige Lysaght, Helen Hutcheson, Alicia Vanegas and Lisa Maloney. Maldanano is also impressed with two ninth graders who have joined the team, Virginia Stickley and Osha Kondori. Although both are in their first season with the varsity team, Maldanano sees a future with their athleticism and skills. A bright spot on the team is goalkeeper Caity Waites. Waites, who played for the Panthers only three games last season, due to commitments on a travel team, recently signed her letter of intent with Ohio University, hoping to earn a starting position in the fall with the University’s soccer team. “What can I say about Caity,” the coach commented, “she is good, no doubt, and she will help our team.” While Maldanano has been more accustomed to a South American-style of soccer, saying, “We are more hot-blooded, giving one hundred-percent all of the time,” the new coach wants to teach the girls, how to play the game well. I want them to share the culture behind ihe sport,” he added. It looks like parents have seen a change as well, with several being overheard during the game with Central, commenting on how much stronger this team is than what it has been in the past.

Corey Voorhies was not present due to illness, but also made Regionals last year. Rapp track season off and running By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County High School has a new track and field coach this season. Scott Stephens, who has been the assistant coach for the past three years stepped up to the plate when the head coach position continued to remain vacant. Having run track for four years in high school, himself, Stephens is ready to take on the role of head coach. With eight returning participants, four of whom made Regionals last year, Stephens has nine new students on the team, bringing him to a total of 17. “Because of the small numbers a lot of the returning people have volunteered to do more events,” explained Stephens, “I expect them to win and make it to Regionals again this year.” As far as goals for the team, Stephens said he wants the students to improve each and every week. “Going in, you hope to win everything, but with our small numbers we can’t expect to do that, but everyone will improve,” said Stephens. Unfortunately for the team, they will not be able to take advantage of the new track that is slated for the school because it will not be built until after the season. Hopefully the students can practice on the current cinder track, knowing they are some of the last ones to make an impression on it. Ruth Purnell may be reached at rpumell@timespapers.com Forest Grove community looks forward to Easter The community is looking forward to the Forest Grove Church Easter breakfast that will be held at the old Forest Grove School beginning at 7 a.m. The church members are in the middle of preparations for the breakfast, doing things such as cleaning, making the stoves ready, gathering wood for the stove, plus much more. This year’s preparation for the event has been easier for the church, since it has gained many new members. Thanks to God, The Church is now having 35 to 40 people attend on any given Sunday service. This increase will give the church more resources to help with the breakfast and I expect the event will be better than ever. lhe old forest Grove School belongs to the Forest Grove Church and like the church, it has been left in its original form. Thankfully, the old building missed out on the so called “remodeling” that injured so many historical buildings during the decades of the 60s and 70’s (many buildings during that time were completely changed in structure and appearance, with no regard to its historical look). The original roof and wood board exterior still cover VlEWTOWN Linda Hitt 937-4221 the building and no changes have been made to the inside. The builders of the school, if they could see the building today, would agree that it has changed very little since the early days of the 20th century. Currently, the building is in bad need of paint and ether maintenance. The church has plans to start this process this spring. John Jenkins of Viewtown, who has been very ill, is doing much better. I heard that he was actually out working on his . lawn mower this week. John is a strong person. Around 1939, he was in the Navy finishing up his term of service, serving aboard the USS Argonne. When World War II, started he enlisted in the service again. A little thing like a serious illness will not dampen his spirit, since he has been around a long time and can draw on his spiritual strengths and life experiences.

On Wednesday, Mar. 17, the Panthers hosted the Luray Bulldogs, knocking out a 10-3 win. Proud of his team’s effort, Rapp coach Jeff Jenkins said, “It was great to get the first win of the season.” Karl Thornhill, Dustin White and Jason Jenkins each put two hits on the board for Rappahannock while White stole two bases and ran in two runs for the home-team. In total, the Panthers picked off eight stolen bases, with Coach Jenkins adding, “We played good solid defense and had timely hits when we needed them.” Pulling in the game win on the mound was Jenkins, who pitched the first five innings, followed by a strong finish by Jacob Dodson. On Friday, Rapp traveled to Loudoun County, pulling in a 5-3 win over Dominion High School. With the score tied oneall in the fourth, Ben Hahn stole second to advance, then scored on a pass ball to put the Panthers in the lead, 2-1. The Panthers upped the score when Jenkins and Will Miller placed hits over the fence. Rapp’s third baseman, Blake Yowell, scooped up a slow roller in the fifth, throwing out the runner to hold the final score at 5-3. Dodson opened the game on the mound, shutting out six batters before turning the ball over to Ethan Russell. Russell allowed two hits and one earned run.

A hearty congratulation is due to one and all and we are all veiy proud of our little local celebrities. Chester Gap picked up winners in both the boys and girls divisions and even the Honored Guest* was from our comer of the county. The winner of the “Baby Miss Rappahannock” category was Heather Williams the daughter of Chris and Leslie Williams. Their son Andrew Williams also did very well securing a second place spot in the “Little Mister Rappahannock” category. Michael and Brenda Rutherford though are very proild parents indeed with three of their children placing first or higher in three different categories. Sisters Clarissa and Candace Rutherford placed first in the sisters category while on her own Candace again placed first in the “Little Miss Rappahannock” category. Dalton Rutherford though was the big winner capturing the title of “Little Mister Rappahannock” along with his crown. The before mentioned Honored Guest, was our own Janie Wines Phillips who is also the former “Miss Rappahannock” from 1995. Phillips, as some of you I’m sure recall, has had a very successful time with pageants herself and has many titles, crowns, ribbons, and trophies to her credit. It seems one could say, with all of the children from Chester Gap that have done so well recently in local pageants, that we have a lot of handsome and beautiful babies up here on the Chester Gap Chris Ubben 635-6094 bigshowl995@ | yahoo.com mountain — I could be just a little bit bias, though. Fire Department fundraisers The Chester Gap Fire Department opened its door very early indeed this past Sunday morning and several windows as well. You see, the department was setting up and preparing for its first fundraising breakfast in quite sometime and while some things turned out very well, other details didn’t. 1 he reason tor all ot the windows being open for instance was very simple, it was to let out all of the smoke from the kitchen. No it wasn’t on fire. It seems it had been sometime since the griddle has last been used or cleaned and, well, it all turned out okay in the end and a little hardship always makes for good memories. There was a modest turnout with more than enough funds being raised to cover expenses. Everyone seemed to have a great time catching up and enjoyed the food, which turned out very well. The man behind the smoky kitchen door, who was the one responsible for, in the words of several folks “that good sausage gravy” was our own Steve Richards who took the lead in preparing just about everything, and (fid a very good job at it all. A big thank you is due to the following from the department who came out to help, Steve Richards, Harold Fisher, Samantha Williams, Kevin Williams, Adam Moore, Eric Rinker and Wayne North. Your efforts are a huge asset to the rebuilding of the department and as with any organization, you members are the backbone. Fire Department looking for new members Speaking of members, the Fire Department is always looking to sign up new members wishing to help out in anyway they can. While fighting fires and running rescue calls is a huge part of the membership responsibilities, those who only want to help with the fundraising side are also needed. If you can cook a pancake, work a grill, park a car or operate a game booth, they could definitely use your help. Help is also needed to cook applebutter or work a horseshoe tournament. Without folks like you, our department would be hard pressed to raise the money it heeds to meet its goals. Don’t misunderstand, those wishing to help out their neighbors by fighting fires and running the ambulance are greatly encouraged to join as well. The message is that if you have nothing else to offer besides your time and a set of helping hands, well that just happens to fit all of the department’s needs and it is exactly what we’re looking for. If you want to join, help out in some way, or make a donation please contact Chief Kevin Williams at 635-8255. Maundy Thursday celebrates The Last Supper The Thursday before Easter, or Holy Thursday, is observed in commemoration of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ.^-This day is also often referred to as Maundy Thursday. In researching the origins of this name, I found that some believe the word Maundy comes from a corruption of the Old English word for commandment, which was originally spelled commaundment. The word was shortened to Maundy through careless enunciation. Other scholars believe the word is from the Latin ihandatum which also means commandment. Regardless of the origins of the word, the commandment that Maundy Thursday refers to is the one given by Christ in John 13:34— “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” Jesus gave this command to the disciples after he washed their feet. The command is closely tied to another given by Jesus at the same time, “Do this in remembrance of me.” Jesus said these words during the first Lord’s Supper which Sperryville Nancy Ostinato 987-8444 oldsperryvillebookshop@igide.net was the Last Supper celebrated with the 12 disciples. Easter celebration services Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church in Sperryville will observe both of these commandments with a reenactment of the Last Supper and with feet washing, a symbol of Christ’s humility and service, at the church on Maundy Thursday, March 24 from 7-8 p.m. People will be at a large table set up that will replicate the Da Vinci painting of the Last Supper. Other Easter events at the church include an Easter egg hunt on Saturday, March 26 from 10 a.m. - noon, sponsored by Mothers Uplifting Mothers (MUMS). The event is free and open to the public. Easter Sunday services include a contemporary wor ship service at 8:45 a.m. and a traditional worship service at 11 a.m. For more information about any of these events, contact Pastor Jon Heddleston at 987-8137.

Halloween murder remains unsolved after 37 years By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Tam on the television and within 60 minutes one can see a crime committed, w atch the detectives find the assailant and then the district attorney fights for justice — and generally wins his case. However, real life is not so easy and not all crimes are solved. Such is the case that dates back to Halloween night, Oct. 31, 1967 when Dr. William. Eugene Lynn, 54, of Flint Hill was murdered in his driveway. The sheriff in Rappahannock County was Charles K “Pete” Estes, who is currently the chairman of Rappahannock County’s Board of Supervisors. Estes recalls that Halloween night well, “I was down here at the Sperryville Rescue Squad building at a Halloween party when the call came over the State Police radio.” Estes immediately drove to the Lynn residence, located near present day Wakefield Country Day School, only to find that Lynn’s body had already been removed from the scene by rescue personnel. Not only wets that evidence disturbed, but approximately 100 people had trampled the scene, destroying any possible clues authorities could hope to find. The facts of the case While much is still unknown about the Lynn murder after 37 years, there are some definite facts that Estes had to go on at the time. Lynn, a respected physician in Front Royal, lived just outside Flint Hill with his wife Clydetta, two daughters, Patty and Mollie, a son, William, Jr., and Mrs. Lynn’s mother. Estes recalls a black young man who lived with the Lynn’s, but did not recall his name. In an interview dated Oct. 1994, Patty Shaw, now deceased, recalled the events of the night her father was killed. “My sister, Mollie, and my grandmother heard the dogs barking earlier that night (two German Shepherds), said Shaw, “but they thought they were barking at neighbor kids who were going trick-or-treating. At one point Mollie even came to Beauty Pageant held at RCES Congratulations to all the young ladies from our area who took time and put forth the effort to participate in the Sperryville Rescue Squad Beauty Pageant, held at Rappahannock Elementary School Saturday evening.

Going around the slight curve in the drive, the Lynn’s found bushel baskets turned upside down, which Estes was able to track to a grocery store in Front Royal. Clydetta stepped out of the car to pick them up, supposing they were a Halloween prank of some sort. As soon as she stepped toward the baskets, a shot rang out of the lilac bush next to the driver’s side of the car, a bullet from a 12-gauge shotgun penetrating Dr. Lynn’s neck, lolling him instantly. Another shot was fired, grazing Clydetta as she scrambled to return to the car, which was rolling back down the incline. Dr. Lynn’s foot had been on the brake, but in his death, the brake was released. ' Clydetta was able to stop the car and began attending to her husband, placing her hand in the gaping neck wound in attempt to stop the bleeding. Somehow in all of the confusion, she was also able to blow the horn on the car and screamed to the house for her mother to call the rescue squad. Dr. Lynn was pronounced dead at the scene, with Clydetta sustaining superficial cuts to her shoulder, arm and chest.

The itian, who Estes declined to name, was stopped and released that night by deputies at the road block. “We had an idea who the killer was,” Estes recalled, “he is mean, a cold-blooded killer.” Estes used the present tense because the suspect is still alive, as far as Estes knows, but there was never enough evidence to convict him. According to a 1994 interview with Harry Will, a retired state police investigator who is now deceased, he believed justice may have been served, despite no one ever being brought to trial on this murder. aii me evidence was circumstantial, but this man was very capable of committing this type of crime. A lot of things pointed in his direction and he was our prime suspect,” said Will in a telephone interview with a Culpeper reporter. Will’s thoughts of justice having been served came from knowing that the suspect was convicted of another crime and, in 1994, was serving a life sentence with no possibility of parole in a state penitentiary. Will is reported to have said, “this man was a suspect in the same type of murder up in Fort Valley (Va.). He was a suspect in another murder where a girl was killed and was charged and convicted of assault on another girl” It is reported that this man stole a 12-gauge shotgun from a neighbor and that a weapon was recovered by the Warren County Sheriff’s Department. A vehicle matching this suspect’s was seen behind Dr. Lynn’s home prior to the shooting. According to Estes, every' other trail of evidence ended in a dead end. “I have thought about it off and on over the years and just wish we could have caught him,” he said, “tHen we could have avoided all those other people being killed.” Estes agreed with Will.

Local attorney faces indecent exposure charge By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Generally speaking, when an attorney enters a court room it is to defend someone else. However Washington attorney David L. Konick will be defending himself on April 12 at 9:30 a.m. in the Rappahannock County General District Court, stemming from an indecent exposure charge. Konick, who resides at 32 Thunder Valley Lane in Castleton, allegedly entered the complainant's property on Sat., Feb. 12 on his tractor and was moving logs. According to police records, Konick was asked to leave the premises, upon which he responded with verbal profanities. “A few minutes later he pulled down his pants and exposed his buttocks to me,” the complainant recorded in the arrest warrant. Rappahannock County Deputy Robert Fincham responded to the complaint, making his arrest that same evening. Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers.com The Family of Betty Pullen would like to express our gratitude for the overwhelming support and expressions of sympathy during our loss. So often she would say “there are so many good people out there”, she was right. Mom (Betty) made many acquaintances during her 56 years, some new and some since childhood, all she considered to be friends. We would like to say thank you to the community for the phone calls, cards, flowers, food and other expressions of kindness we have received. Mom (Betty) will be missed greatly, but her memory and spirit will remain with us forever. - Clyde, Debbie, Sean & Sean Michael Country Living in Rappahannock County NEW LISTING Sunset Hills Farm This 25 acre estate overlooks some of Rappahannock County's most breathtaking views.

Operation Blue & Gray The Virginia State Police conducted Operation Blue and Gray day on Friday, March 18, issuing 276 traffic summons in Rappahannock and Fauquier counties within 15 hours. “This is a major enforcement incentive,” said First-Sargent Gary Settle, “showing folks that we are still a primary law enforcement agency.” Operation Blue and Gray is a day set aside by the Virginia State Police (VSP) once a quarter, pulling in supervisors and troopers for a 100-percent saturation in resources patrolling primary and secondary roads. On this particular day, Rtes. 17, 29, 211 and 522 were of major concern due to a tremendous amount of telephone calls VSP has received in recent months regarding driving behaviors on those highways. Speeding was the major issue, with 168 summons being issued. Thirty-five summons were issued for reckless driving, including aggressive driving (tailgating, becoming irritated when there is no passing lane and other drivers are following speed limits) and speeding in excess. Troopers summonsed 26 drivers for seatbelt violations and 14 drivers for equipment violations. Thirty other summons were issued for violations such as suspended or revoked driver’s license and tag or inspection violations. Captain Mike Spivey began the selective enforcement program in 2003 as an incentive to show Virginia citizens how dedicated VSP is to highway safety VSP plans a three-day Operation Blue and Gray next quarter. Inspiring; TmugfitS; hj Randy Minter FORGIVING Forgiving means letting go of anger and resentment and choosing not to allow past grievances to compromise the future by clogging our thoughts and emotions. It does not mean denying harm, or necessarily letting the person or people whom you forgive back into your life, or even forgiving them directly. This is particularly important when facing death. The end of life is a time when people have an opportunity to say what they need to say, to repair relationships, to say they are sorry, and to let go of things that they have said or done. There can be forgiveness on many levels, making things easier for the person passing and the people who are to be left behind. Letting go of past hurts is important for all of us, whether near death or not. Harboring anger and hurt ends up hurting us most, not those we resent.

riursaay, Marcn ^uuo A11 Rappahannock County watershed study underway By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News When 400,000 tons of rainsoaked soil traveled down a 35degree slope onto the small seaside town of La Conchita, CA, on January 10, 2005, people saw a watershed in extreme action. After a prolonged period of rain, earth and rock started down the 600-foot bluff behind the town at about 20 miles per hour. The on-rush destroyed 13 homes and seriously damaged 23 others out of about 200 in the town at the foot. Ten people were killed. len years ago this summer, on June 27, 1995, Madison County, just south of Rappahannock County, received 30 inches of rain in 16 hours. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, one rain-soaked landslide near Graves Mill, Virginia, “traveled nearly 2 miles, and an eyewitness estimated that it moved at a speed approaching 20 miles per horn-.” You can still see the scars on the mountains above Criglersville and Graves Mill. Another watershed in extreme action. normally, tnougn, watersheds are benign. Ordinary rain and snowmelt flow gently down slopes to creeks and streams in valleys and then to rivers and eventually, in this area, to the Chesapeake Bay. The water also soaks into the earth, traveling downward into the ground, replenishing well water. But at times of prolonged or intense rain, water may move laterally under ground, moving earth above it as if on a watery toboggan. Building on steep slopes and clearing groundcover obviously, carry some risks. Almost everyone in Rappahannock County can observe a mini-watershed on his or her property. A driveway especially can teach you about the activities of a watershed better than any other medium. You observe it almost every day. After a heavy rainfall, those with a gravel driveway may observe gullies crisscrossing their driveway, with piles of gravel fingered out along the edges. Others may see soil from their driveway washed out onto a highway. Some ignore their driveways Upper Thornton River Watershed Prepared by Piedmont Research Institute For RappFLOW March 2005 f aitci i cpcaicu rains and snowmelts, and watch as their driveway is reduced to its foundation rocks. Your own mini-watershed may also exhibit soil erosion on other sloping areas, with tree roots and rocks becoming more and more exposed. A river runs through it With all this activity going on day after day, year after year, and generally unobserved, some Rappahannock County people and . others have gathered together for an interesting project. In the vicinity of Washington and Spenyville lies the Upper Thornton River watershed. The group has selected a spe Map created by Beverly Hunter of the Piedmont Research Institute Ms> .Sjvt. l.n. ul.ii ttitlci i*Ulj» iiut Hi 1111 ni«. RealEstateIII The Best One Home at a Time cific segment of roughly 100 sq. miles there to carry out a pilot project involving a detailed analysis of its water (see map). If the analysis proves useful, the idea may be extended to the rest of Rappahannock County. The reasons for selecting the Upper Thornton River watershed are as follows: • The area includes part of the Shenandoah National Park, where the watershed starts • A wide variety of land uses are covered — forest, agriculture, residential, and commercial — as well as large and small landowners, old and new homes, and a topographical mix ranging from steep slopes to a flood plain. The area also includes examples of the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) and Best Management Practices (BMP). • The area includes the only existing wastewater treatment plant in Rappahannock County (Sperryville); and the Tbwn of Washington is planning both a new water treatment plant and wastewater treatment plant. • Both Sperryville and Washington are among the village growth areas designated in the Rappahannock County Comprehensive Plan. The watershed also includes the Commercial Area Plan for the county, along Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville. • The area includes Rappahannock County’s only two water segments currently designated as being impaired by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (see map). Time well spent There is something fascinating about taking a small piece of the earth and studying it intensely. Ultimately, the purpose is to help individual landowners make decisions on how to better manage their land to protect their watershed. The proposed study will take about a year and a half to complete, with the aim of preserving, protecting, and restoring the water quality of the Upper Thornton River watershed. As noted, the result of the approach may be used on other watersheds in the county. It is expected that the project findings will also help support local decisionmaking in regard to larger goals such as those of the Chesapeake Bay 2000 agreement. One objective of the project neatly sums up the complexity of the undertaking - the creation of cross-referencing matrixes that integrate and tie together the following: “scientific, social, educational, economic, engineering, and political aspects of watershed management in ways that work for our people, topography, cultures, land uses, land cover, economy, and political processes.” Contributions and volunteers from 18 organizations are working on the project under the leadership of the Rappahannock Friends and Lovers of Our Watershed (RappFLOW). These include the Shenandoah National Park, the Uhited States Department of Agriculture’s National Resource and Conservation System (USDA-NRCS), the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP), the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA), the Rappahannock County Health Department, the Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC), the Hearthstone School, the Virginia Department of Forestry, the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District, and eight other organizations. The payoff? The cleaner and more undiminished the water leaving Rapppahannock County, the more interested counties downstream will be in. seeing that Rappahannock County is not over-developed. This could conceivably include monetary contributions from downstream counties. For example, New York City has a multi-million dollar program to protect its rural watersheds north and west of the city. Something akin to that program might be used for Rappahannock County in the future.

Sponsored by the Rappahannock Unit of tiie American Cancer Society, there were twentyseven organizations or individuals providing health services or information at the fair. Nearly 100 people went to the various tables for screening tests or information. Most came because of the article in the Rappahannock News or because a friend told them about the fair but others were told by their Diabetes Support Group or because of a flyer or postcard. The most popular screening test was the cholesterol test performed by the Culpeper Regional Hospital staff. Many came just for health and nutrition information but some had Body Fat Analysis and Flexibility and Range-ofMotion tests performed by the Fauquier Hospital staff. Others had chair massages performed by Barbara Nash, Tferri Freeborn and Dan Lewis. Also providing mobility screening and information were Tbm Papke, a physical therapist who did back checks for scoliosis and Mary O’Meara, a Yoga teacher. Outside the school, the Rappahannock Lions Club had HEALTH NUTS: Making the health fair happen takes time and effort. Pictured from left are committee members: Chair Delma Bagley, Lois Kerchner, Rev.

Changes in criteria for blood donors As of March 21, 2005, the deferral criteria related to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, the human form of Mad Cow disease, will change.

Swaying to an islancibeat With the tables open for gambling, people wandered from table to table testing thenluck. Black Jack was the main game of the night, but craps and roulette tables were also available for those wanting to try their hand at something else. Many members of the community volunteered to take on the role as dealer for the night as familiar faces could be seen dealing cards and handing out, or taking away people’s chips. Dealer Alexia Morrison said, “I was here last year on the playing side and it was a lot of fun, so 1 decided to be a dealer this year." Door prizes were in abundance and winning tickets were drawn throughout the night. Some of the prizes included a cheese cake, brunch for two at the Griffin Tavern, and a large can of specialty beer. Besides door prizes there were several grand prizes participants could try to win at the end of the night. The more “funny money” people purchased the more tickets they acquired to drop into the various boxes for the grand prize drawing. Some of the grand prizes included dinner for two at the Inn at Little Washington, a balloon ride over Rappahannock County and a day of sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. With roughly $3,000 raised by the event the funds will used to supplement the Rappahannock County Public School’s athletic department. RCSSA member Rich Hogan explained that whatever the School Board’s budget doesn’t cover for the athletic department, they (RCSSA members) try to pay for. “We pay for things people don’t think about like cleaning the wrestling mats or fixing scoreboard lights that go out,” said Hogan.

School board approves Chappell’s proposed $11.4 million budget Bv Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News StafT Writer The Rappahannock County School Board convened on Tuesday evening for a public hearing of the proposed school budget for the 2005-2006 school year. Budget appr oved The Board voted u nanimously to accept the recommended budget of $11,357,832.00 proposed by superintendent of schools, Bob Chappell. The Board also authorized Chappell to search for funds in the budget to be transferred to the Curriculum Enrichment Program(CEP), a program that community members have made known to the Board that they would like to see boosted with additional monies. Upping funds for the CEP was the main issue of the night as several county residents came forth to express their desire to see the program monies increased. Jan Makela of Jackson district spoke in support of CEP as both a teacher and parent. “CEP has provided lots of funding for projects when there is no where else to apply. Our Rappahannock students are truly blessed to have this program at their teacher’s disposal,” said Makela who proceeded to illustrate some of the recent projects funded by CEP such as band, art, and drama programs, leadership workshops, and student attendance at regional and state competitions. Makela went on to comment that the CEP budget of $1,000 per year is only roughly a one dollar increase per child. Makela also asked the Board to look seriously at giving high school students a language lab, stating she felt it is nearly impossible to speak or learn a language unless it is used daily. In Spite of the fact that the students have wonderful teachers Makela felt a key ingredient is still missing. After Makela, another Jackson district resident, Lorinda Bosch, stepped to the podium. Bosch shared Makela’s support of CEP and said, “I have seen the program grow and I see all the good that it does.” Bosch also wanted to speak in favor of the K-5 language program, and expressed how beneficial she thought learning a second language was to a child’s development and the importance of learning another language for future careers. Stephanie Shaw of Stonewall district was present to comment on the school’s compensation for employees. l am beftind building our schools second to none, but I am also thinking about the future and how everyone is growing around us,” said Shaw. She explained that she felt people are going to be coming to Rappahannock who are well qualified. “We need to lure them to us (the schools),” said Shaw. With this growth Shaw said she^ hopes to see employee compensation grow as well. With the approved 20052006 school budget, a starting teacher with no experience in Rappahannock will now earn $33,029.00. This is a 3.5 percent increase from last year’s budget where a starting teacher earned $31,546.00. Hampton district resident, Carolyn Yowell, voiced her concerns about “taxes increasing year after year.” Yowell’s question to the board was, “Who is looking out for lifelong residents of this county who cannot afford to pay these taxes?” With the public comment portion of the meeting closed, Chappell stated he would like to make a recommendation to the Board that funding for the CEP be increased. •Chappell asked the Board to authorize him and the finance director to transfer funds accordingly. Chappell stated that he did not recommend changing the bottom line of the budget but would work Within it to find additional monies to transfer to the CEP. Once again, the Board voted unanimously and the motion was passed. Other business Chappell brought the evening to a close after apprising the board of a draft newsletter on the budget to go out to the public. Chappell also reminded the board that on Tuesday, March 29, at 2:00 p.m. at the school board office he will be taking bids for the upcoming construction projects. He proposed that the Board authorize the Superintendent and facilities committee to select the lowest bidder and authorize the contract process. Chairman of the board, Wesley Mills expressed concern about merely going with the lowest bidder to which Chappell responded that the contractors have to build according to the specifications of the architect and they can only change materials with approval of this architect. This seemed to alleviate Mills’s concern and the motion was unanimously passed.

It perfectly encapsulates James Barrie’s crowning literary achievement. This enchanting film, with its affecting sweetness, reflects in full vivid detail the extraordinary mind of this gifted playwright. Nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor (Johnny Depp), The Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community (RAAC) brings “Finding Neverland” to The Theatre in Washington, VA, Friday, April 1, 8:00 p.m. ine Him opens witn oarne (Johnny Depp) finding himself in the middle of an artistic crisis. His latest play h&s failed to impress the turn-of-the-century London crowd which leaves his pocketbook minded producer Charles Frohman (Dustin Hoffman) clamoring for Barrie’s next show. Unfortunately, Barrie is at a loss for inspiration. His devoted wife Mary (Radha Mitchell) can't even arouse i i his creative senses. He simply and easily withdraws from her, preferring the companionship of their Newfoundland dog instead. Barrie’s fortune changes during a visit to the neighborhood park where he encounters four spirited young boys and their recently widowed mother Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Kate Winslet). Barrie is instantly drawn to the impressionable children and performs an impromptu play for the family. An instant bond is formed and Barrie and the Davies family quickly become inseparable. iei, noi evervtnmg goes smootniy. Their relationship meets strict distaih from Sylvia’s protective mother (Julie Christie) who insists Barrie is destroying any chance the family has at pulling their lives together after the death of their father. And others begin to question why a grown man would spend so much time enamored with a family not his own. None of these distractions deter Barrie away from his muses. He.begins writing once again, and cannot stop. Each new adventure with the Davies clan leads to pages and pages of inspirational whimsy for his new play about a young boy and a visionary place called Neverland. In one of the film’s most gripping scenes, after secretly reading Barrie’s sensational tale, an emotionally defeated Mary discloses her long desire to have been Dart of his fantasv world. “Finding Neverland” is highly entertaining with a giant emotional punch. The film claims that it is based on true events, and screenwriter David Magee keeps his story light and focused on details that most closely parallel Barrie’s connection to Peter Pan. It’s an impeccable cast. Depp’s subdued yet charming performance as Barrie strikes a perfect note and illustrates his great range when contrasted to his dynamic turn in “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Very gifted Freddie Highmore, one of the Davies boys, stands nght up with Depp in a superb performance. The film is rated PG for mild thematic elements and brief Is nguage. However, I don’t recommend it for young children Run time is 106 minutes. Packing Shed Gallery presents ‘The Resurrection Show’ By Steven Kenny Special to the Rappahannock News In myth, the phoenix is a bird that consumes itself in fire every 500 years and rises renewed from its ashes. In everyday reality, life is an endless series of cycles: light and dark, growth and decay, joy and sorrow, birth and death and rebirth. Just when winter seems to be lasting forever the long nights give way to lengthening daylight. Suddenly, up from the thawing soil spring tender green shoots. Birds that have been absent for months return to make nests and rear their young. The warming air brings wonderful scents that stir memories of a year ago. These are just a few of the reminders that creation is an ongoing process of transition. Every ending brings a new beginning, and so on, endlessly. For centuries artists have been depicting the process of rebirth in countless ways. Indeed, the Renaissance itself was literally a rejuvenation of human thought. In this spirit, and just in time for spring, the Packing Shed Gallery presents The Resurrection Show. Ten local artists, working in a variety of mediums, have focused their attention and skills on the theme of resurrection, producing a fascinating array of artwork celebrating regeneration in all its beauty and mystery. This exhibition is the brainchild of Rappahannock painter, Robin Purnell and nine other artists including Dorette Amell, Gary Colson, Jeanne Drevas, Steven Kenny, Sally Nash, Rene Ruffner, Barbara Sherwood, Rex Slack, and Christopher Stephens. The idea came up one evening about a year ago while this group of fellow artists was discussing life and art during one of their regular monthly dinners. It was immediately decided that each artist would produce one or several works based on their own interpretation of the concept of resurrection. The Packing Shed Gallery is located in Wrshington, Virginia at the corner of Gay and Porter Street The gallery is open Thursday through Monday from 12:30 to 7:00 p.m. The Resurrection Show runs from April 1st through May 2nd. An opening reception will be held on Sunday, April 3rd from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. Please call (540) 675-3410 for more information. 1

Reminders to remember By Jan C latte rbuck Rappahannock News Staff Writer. This Easter marks the fifth year that Amissville United Methodist Church has placed silhouettes along Rt. 211 in Amissville that illustrate the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The idea came from “K” Adams, pastor of the church five years ago. Adams had used the idea at another church where she had been pastor, and thought the Rt. 211 corridor in Amissville would be a wonderful site to do reproduce them again. It became an outreach project for the youth of the church. Adams wanted to tell the story of Holy Week using different silhouettes depicting different poses. Large sheets of paper were taped to the wall in their fellowship hall. The youth posed for the various silhouettes, and a light was shone behind them, casting their shadow on the wall. The outlines of the shadow were traced. The paper patterns were cut out and transferred to plywood. Parents helped by cutting out the plywood shapes. They were painted black, and supports were made. The next step was asking permission of members, friends and neighbors of the church up and down both sides of Rt. 211 to put the silhouettes on their property. Guides to the meaning of the silhouettes were left at Hackley’s Store, Mayhugh’s and Early’s Carpet, and at the Amissville Methodist church. There are twelve silhouettes altogther. They are painted black, not only to stand out and be seen, but to show the mystery of God’s love. They have faces df the youth, because youth are part of the story. They are along the road because God’s love is not restricted to Sundays and sanctuaries but is found in the midst of our daily lives. The first eight silhouettes are on Rt. 211 west, and the last four on U.S. 211 east, ending at the church. Each of the silhouettes represents a time in the life of Jesus Christ. 1: Jesus is anointed at Bethany, Mark 14:3-9. 2: Jesus washed the disciples’ feet, John 13:1-20 3: Jesus celebrated Passover and begins a new tradition, Luke 22:15-20. 4: Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane, Mark 14:32-42. 5: Jesus is accused and arrested, Luke 22:47-5?.. 6: Jesus is denied by Peter, Luke 22:57-62. 7: Jesus is tried by Pontius Pilate, Matthew 27:11-14. 8: Jesus is beaten by soldiers, Mark 15:16-20. 9: Simon carries the cross for Jesus, Luke 23:26-27. 10: Jesus is crucified, Mark 15:22-29. 11: The body of Jesus is buried, Mark 15:42-47. 12: Maiy finds that the tomb is empty, and Jesus is alive, John 20:1-18. The silhouettes were given new supports, repainted and assembled this year by church member Bill Boelte. Amissville United Methodist Church would like to extend a special word of thanks to all their neighbors who share their yards at this time of the year for the silhouettes. Sarah Boelte commented that “the Holy Week silhouettes have become a wonderful outreach ministry for their church.” Boelte knows that they will be seen by hundreds of people as they travel along Rt. 211. They hope they will touch not only those in the community that pass through every day, but also those travelers who may never Rappahannock News Staff Photo/ Jan Clatterbuck HOLY WEEK: For the fifth year, Amissville Methodist Church has placed silhouettes along Rt. 211 in Amissville. Pictured is the silhouette of Jesus being crucified. pass this way again. “If they reach out to even one person who does not know Christ, then the work of maintaining and putting up the silhouettes every year is worth it,” said Boelte. The silhouettes will remain in place through the week after Easter. Jan Clatterbuck may be reached at jclatterbuck@timespapers.com Prayers needed Chris and Pat Salmon of Flint Hill need your help. They simply ask that you keep them in heart and prayer. About six weeks ago, Chris Salmon and later, his jvife, Pat, came down with pneumonia. Both were in intensive care but Pat is now out of the hospital and able to drive her car. Chris, however, who had a bacterial pneumonia, later developed a secondary infection in the hospital which has put him into a deep comma. For the past three weeks, Chris has been in the Intensive Care Unit at the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville. Chris Salmon has been the guiding light and person most responsible for Rappahannock’s Internet bulletin board — Rappnet. Both are a much loved couple throughout the community and your prayers are asked for Chris’s recovery and Pat’s strength.

W hy dkl Cod sacrifice His only begotten Son? The Bible tells as He sacrificed Jesus that we might experience a more joyful and abundant life. Jesus said in John 7:J7-38, “If a man is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoeser believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." * By the words “living w ater". Jesus Christ referred to the comfort of the Holy Spirit flowing through our hearts. When we believe in Jesus' death and resurrection, the weight of our sins is lifted and our spiritual strength is renewed. Though we may stru^le with earthly events, we still must trust that Cod knows what is l»esl for our spiritual growth. Based on this, there is every reason to expect abundance in our lives. \syou worship, why not welcome the return of joy to your attitude? This Faster, won't you thank Cod for the miracle of the resurrection of His Son by expecting a miracle in your life?

Shenandoah National Park plans prescribed burns Shenandoah National Park acting superintendent Trish Kicklighter recently announced that, weather permitting, the National Park Service will initiate several prescribed burns in Shenandoah National Park this year. Due to the uncertainty of the weather, it is not possible to predict the exact dates. Prescribed fires are fires ignited on purpose by managers under a pre-determined set of conditions, called a prescription, in order to accomplish specific resource management objectives. The prescription includes weather, fuel moisture, and resource availability parameters. The following bums are planned for this vear: • Big Meadows. Portions of Big Meadows, the open area across from Byrd Visitor Center, are burned each year. In March or April, approximately 35 acres will be burned in the center of the field for the purpose of maintaining the open vista by pre venting encroachment by woody species. • Sawmill. The Sawmill bum unit, near the town of Dooms,’ VA, on Purple Cow Rd. in Augusta County, was burned once before in 1999. The purpose of the bum was to improve the appearance of the area and to reduce the threat of uncontrollable wildland fire by reducing hazardous fuel conditions caused by insects and disease, storm damage, and exotic species. The park will continue this effort by burning the 55-acre unit again in March or April. ” vista maintenance. as part of an ongoing project, the park will use fire to maintain open vistas by preventing encroachment by woody species at many scenic locations along Skyline Drive. The park will bum vistas near Swift Run, Hogwallow, and Fox Hollow Overlooks in March, April, or May. Additional vistas may be burned if weather conditions, fuel moisture, and resources permit.
