A new sight to Rappahannock County is that one of those troopers is female, in fact, this is the first female Virginia State Police trooper to patrol this county. Trooper Kerri Corbett hales from Floral Park, just outside New York City, New York, having graduated from James Madison University in Harrisonburg this past May with her Bachelor’s Degree in psychology. “I really wanted to get out of New York,” Corbett said, “I wanted something quieter.” Corbett, who recently moved to Amissville, received praise from her superior, First-Sargent Gary Settle, “So far she has done a tremendous job. I am very excited that Rappahannock is getting a fine trooper.” Within her first week on this new assignment, Corbett had her first arrest as a trooper, a driving under the influence of alcohol charge. According to her field training officer (FTO), Trooper Don Corbin, that will be one of the major crimes the new trooper will face in Rappahannock County. Corbin said the other crime that concerns him is illegal drug traffic that he sees going through the county. “Those will be the biggest things she will face,” Corbin said, “but this is a rural county, a good county, and the crime rate is low.” Corbin, who has been with Virginia State Police for just over seven years, is looking forward to having more officers to contain See TROOPERS, Page A2 NEW BEAT: Trooper Derrick Mauck, a Page County native, joins the Virginia State Police in Rappahannock County.

Mountain Laurel Montessori Farm School is located at Susan Hoffman and Mike Biniek’s Belle Meade Farm on Route 231 and offers students an education based on the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori. Head teacher Jim Webster said, “The essence of Montessori is that the educational environment should be designed to meet the needs of the I students you serve.” He further explained that in the Montessori fashion of education it is felt that children have different needs during different stages of their development which need to be cultivated accordingly. A branch of the Mountain Laurel Montessori School in Front Royal, the farm school is located at Belle Meade Farm in a small building that was originally built as a school in 1915. The building has been derelict See FARM, Page A2 I Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Ruth Purnell SCHOOL PIGS: From left to right Yancey Crandell, Aaron Buracker, Amanda Sweeny, and Susan Hoffman pet the pigs at the farm school.

Everyone be certain to set clocks forward one hour on Sunday, April 3. When did this all start? The date was set for the first Sunday in April, at 2 a.m., when, according to Benjamin Franklin, most people are home and the fewest trains are running. Franklin proposed this idea in Paris in 1784 as a follow-up to a demonstration of a new oil lamp, which produced much discussion regarding the amount of oil the lamp used in relation to the amount of light produced. Thus, Franklin suggested that people begin waking up earlier, allowing minimal usage of the lamp Spring toward v ^rr-\Tv Daylight-saving tttne returns at 2 a.m. Sunday, April 3.

Having worked with Corbett for the past three weeks, Corbin is impressed by her professionalism, “She knows how to talk to people, how to deal with the public.” Being the first female trooper in Rappahannock is not anything special to Corbett, “I don’t feel a difference at all, I’m just a trooper,” she said. - Corbett was one of 64 new troopers who graduated.on Feb. 25, 2004 from the 108th Basic Trooper Session after 39 weeks of law enforcement instruction. Those long weeks consisted of crash and crime scene investigation, driving skills, firearms and self defense. “We had four tests a week there,” Corbett sighed. Now that Corbett is in her final phase of training, she will have six to eight weeks of hands-on training, going out into the field in Rappahannock and Fauquier counties with a FTO to familiarize her with the area. According to Captain George L. Daniels, Jr., commander of the State Police Academy, “The exceptional and thorough training in a paramilitary environment provides each trooper with the skills they will need to protect the citizens of Virginia.” Another recent graduate of the Academy, Derrick Mauck, originally from Stanley, Va. and now living in Warren County, will be joining Corbett as a new trooper in Rappahannock County. “I wanted to be a trooper since I was seven or eight,” Mauck said in an interview last week, adding that his dream began when he had a youth football coach who was a Virginia State trooper. Although Mauck has not been extremely familiar with Rappahannock County, he feels that this area shares a lot of similarities with Page County. Having grown up in neighboring Page County, Mauck enjoys hunting, fishing, playing football, sports and is a member of the Stanley Fire Department. “I just want to be seen as a nice guy who takes mv job seriously,” the new trooper said. In taking his new post seriously, Mauck will be watching for speeders, equipment violators and will be watching for reckless driving by motorcycles, especially crossing the mountain areas. “I’m looking for anything that will help me take the job to the next step, I’m not just onedimensional,” Mauck said. That next step includes searching traffic traveling through Rappahannock for illegal substances. Mauck is currently training with Trooper Kris Chapman, who has been with the Virginia State Police for three years, based out of Fauquier County. “He is very enthusiastic,” Chapman said of his protege, adding that the new trooper recently wrote 26 summons within a four hour period during Operation Blue and Gray. “We sort of turned him loose that day and he did well,” the veteran trooper said. Mauck is looking forward to working in Rappahannock County, saying, “I want to be a resource to local law enforcement, to be another officer people can come to for help in the county.” Time From Page A1 in tht. evening. On March 19, 1918, the United States Congress followed the lead of many other countries, establishing an act that would preserve daylight. This act became known in the United States as Daylight Saving Time. In 1973, Congress declared the year-round use of Daylight Saving Time to save energy during the oil embargo. However, not every state within the U.S. observes Daylight Saving Time. Hawaii, most of the Eastern Time Zone portion of the State of Indiana and Arizona, with the exception of the Navajo Indian Reserva tion, do not participate. Many fire departments throughout the U.S. encourage people to change the battery in their smoke detectors when they change their clocks, just as an easy way to remember something that can be so easily forgotten. Farm From Page A1 since the 1950’s and it wasn’t until last year that Webster and his wife Elizabeth were sent to the area with a mission to establish the current Farm School. The Mountain Laurel Montessori School in Front Royal was aware their students weren’t finished growing at the age of 12 (the Front Royal school works with children age 2-12), but there was simply no room to accommodate them explained Webster. It was then that Webster and his wife were flown from Boulder, Co. to the Belle Meade Bed and Breakfast to discuss the possibility of establishing a school at that location with several other interested parties. Webster explained that the initial plan was to found the school in three or four Vears time, but as he said, “place and teacher came together. It was a huge leap and we are still leaping.” Proud of the school, Webster said it is the students who are the real pioneers. A pristine setting The students certainly are fortunate to have the school house as well as much of the farm at their disposal. The little white school house is idyllic and with large windows, skylights, and lots of sunshine it positively sparkles. Original chalk boards from 1915 still hang on the wadis, along with a plethora of student art works. Telescopes, computers, weaving instruments, and guitars, each have their own little nook. The facility is truly an environment conducive to hamds-on learning. Webster is very pleased with the building and saiid, “this school is like a chrysalis in which they can grow, but at the same time have a full and challenging life.” Self-Storage Special *25 OHF ttf Month Pry • Cleafi * Above Crowd Storage Closet $• Garage Size 1 540-987-8507 1 [/ Sperryville Storage Company Three River Lane, Sperryville, VA 22740 Is Reopening APRIL 1st<nofoo,n) for Lunch 11:00 AM -2:00 PM Thursday through Monday (sorry, still closed Tue. & Wed.) BE THERE!! Ml. The school certainly tries to offer the students a challenge and each child is currently taking two math classes, two language classes, and a humanities class. Students are also enrolled in occupational classes and Webster described the three offered this term. The first is “Engines and Machines” in which students actually learn how to fix machines. Their current project is a tractor on the farm. “A future dream is to have a small engine repair shop so that we can participate in the community’s economy,” said Webster. Another occupational class is the architecture group which designs bams, other buildings on the farm, and even a potential dorm the school is considering instituting in the future. Last but not least, is the Fiber Animals class. These students are currently researching the feasibility of purchasing fiber animals for the farm. The research is in depth as students first have to decide what kind of fiber animals best suits their program, Angora rabbits? Alpacas? Sheep? Webster illustrates how demanding these projects can be as students are required to do research, write f up a proposal, and present it to the board of teachers and administrators for approval so that they gain some real work field experience. Well-prepared Webster stated that students who complete the three year cycle at a Montessori school are well equipped to enter any kind of school environment. “We teach students to learn to value each other as individuals and how to get along with one another,” said Webster. The Farm School at Belle Meade currently caters to children age 12 to 15 (grades 79)and a large percentage of these students come from the Front Royal School. The Farm School does have students from elsewhere, including two homeschooled children. With a student body of 10, Webster said their goal for next year is 18 students, and their ideal goal for the future is between 30 and 40 students. With their first year progressing so well, Webster hopes the school will become an engaged part of the Rappahannock community.

Christmas tree planning for the future By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer Last Thursday the Rappahannock County Public School’s Farm-to-Table Program started getting ready for Christmas. Christmas a few years down the road that is. Fifty-eight fifth graders and four high school students from the horticulture class gathered to pot their own personal white pines and to plant 250 more trees on the property of Sandra Richardson who generously donated her land as home for the trees and a place to spend the afternoon learning. It will take approximately seven years for the trees to mature so when these fifth graders, the class of 2012, are seniors, their trees will be ready to harvest. The trees will then be sold as a fund raiser for the Farm-to-Table Program as well as the horticulture department. “We are one step closer to becoming a self-sustaining program,” said Farm-to-Table coordinator Trista Sheuerlein. The program is currently being funded by the generous donations of Sunnyside Farms and Jeff Franzen of Washington, Va. “It will be nice to close the loop between our needs and what we can provide for ourselves,” said Sheuerlein. Over the next seven years students from the horticulture class will continue maintaining the trees planted on Richardson’s property. Students will have to mow between the trees, and learn to prune them into the characteristic Christmas tree Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Ruth Purnell BABY TREE: A baby white pine is planted in its new pot. I shape. Many people contributed to the activities of last Thursday. Sheuerlein explained that Jim and Sally Mello of Oak Shade Farm were instrumental in spurring on the activity as they have a Christmas tree farm of their own. Tbm OHalloran of Glengory Farm donated planting bars for students to dig the holes in which the trees were planted. Pots were donated by Janet Davis of Four Season’s Landscaping, J. C. Ackerman of TEACH AND LEARN: Horticulture students help fifth graders plant trees on Sandra Richardson’s property. Blue Ridge Botanicals, and George and Karen Mosebrook of Momingside Farm and Nursery. LOOKING AHEAD: Fifth graders Logan Stephens and Amber Williams plant their Christmas trees which will mature in seven years, when they are seniors. Trees were donated by the U. S. Forest Service. Ruth Purnell may be reached at rpumell@timespapers.com How do residents want the Town of Washington to grow? By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Including members of the Town of Washington Planning Commission and Tbwn Council, 15 town residents heard disturbing news Monday evening regarding growth possibilities for the town, Milt Herd of Herd Planning & Design, Ltd. in Leesburg and Vlad Gavrilovic of Paradigm Design in Reston presented a display of maps, representing the Town of Washington currently as well as the potential of growth under the current town’s Comprehensive Plan. Currently, the historic town remains in the original grid designed by George Washington in 1749, with onehalf acre lots grouped in threelot sections, divided by narrow roadways. According to Gavrilovic, this design is very unique in comparison to other towns. With the current privateresidential zoning, the Town of Washington has the potential to completely lose its pastoral appearance with a buildout analysis showing a possible maximum of an additional 87 units if cluster development is allowed. “Our job is to take you from where the Code says now to where you want to be,” Herd said while making his presentation. From the shocked looks on the faces of planning commissioners and council members, those numbers are not where the town wants to be. Other alternative scenarios for future land use and development offered a plan where building lots within the town limits would be made one-acre, but also incorporating new culde-sacs for access, adding a pos sibility of 77 new units. This alternative would allow no change to existing zoning or subdivision regulations. “Cul-de-sacs loose sight of the town and have nothing in character with the town,” commented Ken Abraham of Main Street, Washington. If the town chooses to downzone in the revised Comprehensive Plan that is in the early' planning stages now, density would be reduced allowing preservation of the open spaces at the edge of the town. The display of this alternative could allow an option of 41 additional dwelling units which would be placed on large, country-estate sized acreage. “You can downzone comprehensively,” Herb said, “in an overall way, but it has to be reasonable use of the property.” A traditional alternative, which would conform with the currently gridded streets in the village core, would allow for an additional 67 dwelling units that would allow for both rural preservation and village edge districts. Finally, the scenario that seemed most appealing to the planning commissioners and town council members was a traditional low-density plan, allowing a buildout of only 27 new units. “Herb White showed growth of 27 units in a 25 year period (in regard to the proposed wastewater treatment facility),” commented council member Claudia Mitchell. “This would bridge the gap between the town’s people who expressed a desire for vitality in the town and people who don’t want growth,” responded Herd. How old are our county’s churches? Histories & Mysteries Fran Eldred As we travel the roads of Rappahannock we are aware of the numerous churches that dot our countryside. Most denominations have been represented at one time or another. However, do you know the oldest of the Baptist churches? Many believe it is the Mt. Salem Baptist Church but while it is on the National Register of Historic Places it is not the oldest. In 1773 there was the Battle Run Church at Ben Venue, then known as Gaines Cross Roads. In 1778 the Ragged Mountain Church was established. It was later called the F.T. Church, not to be confused with the original F.T. Church, which was Colonial Episcopal. In 1779 the Thornton’s Gap Baptist Church was established. It wasn’t until November 27, 1824 that Mt. Salem was constituted. The original membership of Mt. Salem consisted of men, women and blacks. It was most unusual for blacks to be members of a white church at that time in our history. They called as their first pastor William F. Broaddus. The minutes of the church were begun on December 25, 1824 and recorded by See HISTORIES, Page A5 Fish Wagon Delivery Dates & Times C^Monda}'.

Perhaps the surprised look on faces came from the understanding that the Town of Washington is a historical district and several members alluded that they were under the impression that substantial growth could not occur due to that status. However, Herd reminded all present that historical designation generally focuses on architecture, not lot sizes. Planning commission member Mitzi Young urged that town residents should consider, historical conservation land easements. According to Herd, this endeavor would reduce the value of property, but would give property owners the satisfaction of preservation as well as tax credits. Town Planning Commissioner, Gary Schwartz expressed concern of how to preserve the gateways of the town, asking Herd and Gavrilovic to prepare a presentation on that for the third scheduled public meeting on April 25 at Tbwn Hall.

The Tbwn’s Comprehensive Plan is bubbling to the surface at the same time that residents will need to decide on a wastewater treatment facility. The two go hand-in-hand. They will be partners in what is sure to result in some growth in the Tbwn of Washington. Just how much depends op which way the plan goes but undeveloped land in the Tbwn will be a prime target for future homes whether on one acre lots or closer together. The waste water treatment facility is needed. It is inevitable that it will be built and hopefully before the Tbwn’s septic tanks explode. But, it’s size will depend on how many buildings it will accommodate and that answer will be determined in how the Tbwn’s Comprehensive Plan is now crafted. When we’re planning a family, we don’t always count on having three instead of two children or twins or an ailing parent that comes to stay but we welcome them and make room and expand if necessary. As the “uncomfortable for some” decision creeps closer, residents are encouraged to attend future meetings as more information becomes available. Social Security: It’s our business For most of us, deductions from our paychecks for social security have been going on for years. Most of us realize that it won’t be enough to support us completely when and if we should decide to retire but it will be something. What about our children? Our grandchildren? Will the well be dry for them? Local resident Frank Brosgol wants everyone to be as informed about this social security issue as possible. Tb that end, he has personally arranged for Ed Berkowitz, a noted professor of history at George Washington University, to come to Rappahannock County and talk to the residents about an issue, that for Brosgol, is important for all of us to fully understand. Berkowitz writes on American social welfare policy, liis books include: Disabled Policy, America’s Welfare State, and Mr. Social Security - the Life ofWilburr J. Cohen. In 2003, the University of Wisconsin press published his book titled Robert Ball and the Politics of , Social Security. Berkowitz’s talk, entitled “The History of Social Security: It’s Past, Present and Future,” will be presented on Saturday, April 16, at 7:30 p.m. at Rappahannock County High School. There is no charge. Brosgol, a retired physician, and one who is passionate about health care issues feels strongly that residents be given an opportunity to learn more about this “social security” system that is supporting many now in some form or another but with a future that is being questioned by our government leaders and poses serious decisions for many. The Rappahannock News thanks Frank Brosgol for his enthusiasm, concern and commitment to today’s young people and their future which is in our hands.

Eborn Our mother’s passing was a shock. Though we know she is in a better place with our Lord, we wish she hadn’t been taken so abruptly. We would like to invite the community to participate in a memorial service to be held at Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church located at 3948 Sperryville Pike, Sperryville. The service, to be officiated by Rev. Jon Heddleston and Rev. Jennings Hobson III, will begin at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 2. Please come help celebrate the life of a wonderful loving and devoted teacher, wife, mother and supporter of the community. We invite you to share your thoughts, feelings, and any “tales” you would like to put to words. We would like to thank Deputy G. L. Jenkins of the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office and the responding members of the Sperryville and Washington Volunteer Rescue Squads. You arrived on the scene quickly, were very professional, and above all comforting during a most difficult time. Our community is very blessed to have you ready to respond in our darkest hours. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Volunteer Squad of your choice. It is what mom would have done. Thank you for all your support. Betty Myers WoodviUe Virginia Chamberlayne Orange Carl Eborn Jr. Boston Schiavo case sparks outrage in local citizen Out of anger and concern the recent events of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo case has compelled me to write this letter. My anger is directed at our court system. Our judges and Justices have allowed the murder of innocent babies and now someone who is brain damaged, but still a living human being with a right to live is being allowed to die by a slow starvation death. When will this disregard for life stop? Is this a warning sign that in America that you could be starved to death should you become disabled? Will we allow death to rule through our greed and selfishness by killing children and the elderly because they have a disease, are brain damaged or have physical defects. Am I overreacting? I think not! My Mom is from Holland, where I try to keep up with their current events. Euthanasia was legalized there in ?001. It is reported in the January 22nd issue of the “Dutch Journal of Medicine” , that doctors reported 22 “mercy killings” of babies bom with spina bifida between 1997- 2004. According to a report in the Melbourne Herald Sun, Dutch doctors helped 2216 patients to die last year. The Journal of Medical Ethics reports that the decisions are now moving from patients to doctors. In 309r of the cases, the doctor who terminated a patient’s life did not consult with any of the relatives of the patient. Is this where we are now headed? Have the courts now opened the door for this to happen in our country? Who has the rights to make these decisions? We have compassion for saving the whales, yet now we keep silent about a human life being made to starve to death. Is this right? Prisoners on death row have more legal protection than Terri SchindlerSchiavo. Where are we headed? America it is time to wake up and examine our hearts! God forgive us for treating life that You have given us in such a way! Carl( and Sally) Letsen Castleton, Va. Daffodil Days a huge success I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Rappahannock community on behalf of the American Cancer Society for a very successful Daffodil Days campaign. This year a record amount of donations were received from businesses. churches and individu als who purchased either bunches of cut daffodils or mini pots of bulbs. Some simply donated to the cause. The county is certainly painted yellow with the “flower of hope”. Profits from the donations of $3256.00 will be applied directly to research, advocacy, educa tion and patient services that the American Cancer Society sponsors and provides. When you see the daffodils at your local bank, restaurants, B and B’s, shops and churches, take a moment to thank those in charge for their gifts of support for the ACS. There is hope that a cure for cancer can be found! Sincerely, Lois Kerchner Daffodil Days Chairperson American Cancer' Society of Rappahannock County Our county needs a community center As you may know, Rappahannock County lacks social activities for our teenagers and young adults. Numerous students and Jults with whom I've conversed are motivated by my idea of a community center. This idea was attempted before, but the location and community response was poor. I have come up with some ideas and have assembled several faculty members, parents, and students to support me. We have brought our ideas together and are now taking actions. To get started, a location and money are needed. A preferable location to be donated is the Coyote Cafe’building that closed several months ago. If this building could be donated to Rappahannock’s students, myself, along with other enthused students and faculty members, would be more than willing to maintain it ourselves. Not only would this create an exhilarating environment to socialize, but it also would be a new learning place for several classes. Examples of this include the culinary class, which could advise the kitchen, thus fur thering their knowledge of running a commercial kitchen. Horticulture could involve themselves in the gardens. Art club could establish a restaurant/coffee shop environment. Artists in the community could donate artwork, creating a sort of gallery setting where artwork could be admired and sold. If this idea evolves, any students from Rappahannock, Hearthstone, and Wakefield, could come Monday thru Thursday to converse, do homework, be tutored, or tutor. Friday and Saturday could be set aside for concerts, karaoke, poetry, and any other ideas that our community can present. This community could really pull together and build a place to keep kids out of trouble and have fun at the same time. It would also be great learning center for our youth. Teens and adults could come together and enjoy the setting and activities. If we pull together, this dream could become reality. Rebecca Lynn Oyster Castleton Our apologies to Beulah Several weeks ago the Rappahannock News published nearly a full page story on Clevenger's Corner and the couple that left their name there. It was an interesting story and I enjoyed reading about Mrs. Clev s ias she was sometimes called) various business endeavors nearby in Culpeper County, things I had forgotten about. One thing about the story really bothered me. I had vividly remembered her as Beulah not Bertha. To insure that my memory was not playing tricks on me I found time to check the public records and sure enough her name was Beulah not Bertha. You may want to correct the story and apologize to her. Even through she is no longer with us I think she would like this. Mary L. Payne Amissville Editor's Note: Corrections to "Mr. and Mrs. Charles Clevenger: A Remembrance” ■ article ifeb. 24. 2005) Mrs. Clevenger’s first name was Beulah, not Bertha; she was cremated and her ashes were scattered off the coast of Florida, she was not buried in Jeffersonton, VA; Harry Racey was in the Army, not the Navy: Shirley Racey was mistakenly called Virginia in one place; and the Mountaintop Salad referred to the salad not the meal. The writer, Don Audette, regrets the errors. > The Rappahannock News intended for these corrections to have run sooner and regrets that error as well.

New restaurant will open soon in Sperryville A new restaurant called Mountain Cafe will soon be opening its doors on Main Street in Sperryville at the location formerly known as the Appetite Repair Shop. The idea for the new family eatery, run by Shana Salehi and her husband Bijan, will come to life as a result of the encouragement of many. For years, Shana shared her Mediterranean and Persian dishes with friends, neighbors and coworkers, whose constant compliments and suggestions Sperryville Nancy Ostinato 987-8444 oldsperTyvillebookshop@tgide.net that she really ought to open a restaurant convinced her to give it a try. Both Shana and Bijan have heen looking for a location for their venture for a few years. Since both of them are hikers familiar with the area near Shenandoah National Park, they were very excited when they learned of the availability of the site in Sperryville. The new Mediterranean restaurant promises to offer healthy food made from local products with several items on the menu that will appeal to vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Ohe of the house specialties that they plan to offer on a weekly basis are the doner kebobs. This dish is made from thinly sliced beef or chicken breast that is marinated overnight and then cooked on an open flame on a vertical spit and shaved off in tender strips. They will be served with Basmati long grain rice or in sandwiches, accompanied by a flavorful yogurt and a Greek salad. New dishes will be presented on weekends to enhance the restaurant’s variety. If they are popular enough, those dishes will become part of the regular weekday menu. Each weekend the restaurant will serve one or two special dishes such as: salmon with rice and vegetables, shish kebobs, kebob kobideh, salmon roll and vegetables, beef stew, and a lima bean dish with rice, vegetables, and lamb. Shana, who also has a background in Tai Chi, has studied functional food and food therapy in China. She plans to serve healthy drinks such as green tea and a ginger and lemon tea which she says provides a great health benefit to the digestive system. The restaurant will open sometime in April, although the exact date has' not yet been determined. During the Grand Opening week, the doner kebobs and other special dishes will be offered at a discount price. The Grand Opening will be announced soon.

Stay Reva family receives award Oliver Brown and his family who own “Hunters Haven” which is one of the oldest farms in the county, also called “the beautiful piece of their countryside home,” were selected this year to receive the “Outstanding Business Award for 2005.” This presentation was made recently by the Culpeper County Chamber of Commerce.

With our thoughts centered on Easter and its meaning we are reminded of the legend that the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified was made from a dogwood tree.

By September of 1825 there were 29 members. By 1828 the congregation had grown to 225 members. The property was originally purchased from Bryant O’Bannon and wife Polly and Aaron Arden and his wife Elizabeth for $1.00. The property originally consisted of approximately one acre and contained two buildings. This location was chosen because there was a good spring at the foot of the hill where the horses could be tethered and watered. It wasn’t until 1848 that talks began to erect the present day church. Fund raising was begun immediately and the plans were drawn. The building would be 40’ by 50’ with the walls having a depth of 2’. The plans also called for three doors, typical of the early meeting houses where men, women and colored must enter separately. It took seven years to erect the building with much of the labor and materials being donated. A very interesting construe tion technique was employed so as to not interrupt services during the long building phase. The present day building was erected around one of the original buildings on the property and once completed the original building inside the new building wras demolished. By the 1880's the membership began to dwindle and they decided to build the Washington Baptist in the town of Washington. The biggest problem with the location of Mt. Salem was the fact that the wagon roads crossed the Rush River in 9 places which made church going very difficult during the spring and fall rains. In 1942 the doors of the church were locked. Except for brief periods of services, special events and restoration the old church is still inactive today although it does have a current Board of Directors.

Sports Athlete of the Month This month’s athlete was nominated not only by one of his coaches, but also by one of Rappahannock County High School’s administrators. Dos Allen, a junior at RCHS recently achieved a goal that few other athletes accomplish, he was a state runner-up in a sport, wrestling. “He was Rappahannock’s first state finalist ever, eventually finishing second in the tournament,” said RCHS principal, Roger Mello, referring to Allen’s recent accomplishments in the state wrestling tournament. His wrestling coach, Eric Spath said, “Dos definitely deserves to be athlete of the month after what he did at states. He has quite a future ahead of him.” Mello went on to elaborate on Allen’s athletic accomplishments, telling how he scored Rappahannock’s only goal in this year's season opening soccer game against Warren County, v'dr,- szzz Dos Allen which ended up being the game winning score. Not only does Allen excel on the mat or soccer field, but he is an excellent student and musician, according to Mello, who added that the junior “joins all of these skills with a great personality. He represents Rappahannock very well and we are proud of him.” Allen resides with his parents, Mark and Tremle Allen in Etlar, Va.

Jeff Jenkins has stepped up to the plate and taken charge of the team. Having coached the school’s junior Panther’s baseball team two years ago Jenkins is no stranger to the school. In addition, coaching baseball for the Amissville RAC League has made his a familiar face to some of the players on his current team. “I have watched a lot of these boys grow and I coached them when they were younger,” said Jenkins. With a long list of returning players Jenkins has twelve boys on his team this year. Returning players include seniors Blake Yowell, Ben Hahn, Dustin White, David Miller and Greg Wharton. Returning juniors are Jason Jenkins, Jacob Dodson, Karl Thornhill and Alex Sharp. “I wanted to coach the varsity team because I thought we could win if I could inspire the boys and give them more knowledge,” said Jenkins. While the team did not make it to Region B Competition last year, it is Jenkins’ goal that they go the distance this year. “I want the boys to learn to Rappahannock News Photo/Ann Spieker INFIELD POW-WOW: Panther infielders converge on the pitchers-mound to discuss strategy last week. work and play as a team instead of individuals,” ended Jenkins.

For the Rapp coach, J. C. Maldanano, that was not the part that got to him the most — what concerned him was the morale of his team after the Wildcats scored their first goal. “It was too mental for them, they just couldn’t make it up,” Maldanano said, adding that the team played well, “it was just morale stuff.” Defense was the key for the Panthers, with the coach praising all of his team for its performance. “They have worked so hard for a win,” the coach said. In fact, those fundamentals are what he will continue focusing on with the team during practices, hoping that will encourage his team to push toward a win. The girls’ soccer team went head-to-head with Stonewall Jackson High School of Mount Jackson, last Thursday in a game Rapp lost 2-1. Leading for most of the game with one point, thanks to player Victoria Hart, Rapp was able to keep Stonewall Jackson scoreless until the middle of the second half. It was not until the game went into a five minute overtime that Stonewall Jackson was able to break the tie with a second field goal. Maldanano was discour FREE INSPECTION Protect your home.

School News students express themselves for Youth Art Month By Courtney Hutcheson Special to the Rappahannock News During the month of March, the nation’s youth takes time to celebrate Youth Art Month. Rappahannock high school art students took advantage of this special month to express themselves in many ways. Joy Sours, the art teacher, arranged several activities that would help spark the students’ creativity and get them excited about Youth Art Month. There was a trip arranged for the Art II class to Sperryville Pottery. During the trip, students were able to appreciate Suzanne Zylonis’s demonstration of how to work with pottery. She let the students observe her ‘throw” three pieces of pottery and the student’s were able to engage in a question-answer session with the instructor. On an overall basis, Sours said, “I think it went well and the trip was inspiring for the students.” As a part of Youth Art Month, many contests were arranged in order to enhance student’s creativity. The YAM contest was an idea that involved the students using their imagination to create something out of a simple yam. Each participating class was allowed to enter a yam with the winners receiving doughnuts for their class. Some of the entries were the Tribal Yam, Yam Snake, Yamatee, Yam Tree, Football Yam, Yamobile, Easter Yam, Yam Woman, and George Bush Yam. Another contest that was established was the Sidewalk Chalk Day. This was arranged by the Art Club and there were twelve participants in all. Winners received a certificate of recognition for their achievements. Paula Freitag won first place for her Smurf drawing. Will Sonnett won second place for his Rocket- Ship drawing, and Katie Long won third place for her Patriotic Butterfly. The sidewalks were beautifully decorated, however, unfortunately, the rain came the next day and washed them all away. So far, Rappahannock high school has enjoyed the activities that were prepared for Youth Art Month. The celebration at the school and nationwide, continues for the remainder of the month.

Spring flowers, seeds and ants on a mission I Doesn’t it seem like spring? But how do we know for sure? When Bob Ryan says so? Or Punxsutawney Phil? The calendar says spring began March 20, but we all know that late March is the worst time to predict weather in the county. For it to really be spring most of us need some sign from nature, and plants show some of the earliest signs. We look for spring ephemerals, herbaceous perennials that typically emerge when trees begin leafing out. These plants flower for a brief time, producing conspicuous blooms that attract whatever pollinators are around. The unpredictable weather means an equally unpredictable supply of pollinators, and it is noteworthy that many of these species are capable of self-pollination. After flowering the plants either disappear entirely -or become an inconspicuous component of the flora. The species typically referred to as spring ephemerals are among the most beloved of flowering plants, possibly because they are so conspicuous at a time when we are yearning most for any sign that winter is over. Two of our favorites are bloodroot and twinleaf. Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) is a beautifiil plant with a single leaf enfolding a large white flower that emerges in March from a fleshy, underground rhizome. The rhizome and stem contain a red-orange juice that gives the plant its common name. We have not yet seen twin RappNature Sara and ilm Lawray leaf (Jeffersonia diphylla) in the county, but someone will surely tell us where to find it. This species, named for Thomas Jefferson, is similar in appearance to bloodroot but “more stately . . . one of Virginia’s woodland aristocrats and true heritage wildflowers,” according to the Smithsonian’s Stan Shetler. It is recognized by its single large leaf divided into butterfly wing-shaped halves. It produces a separate flowering stalk with a delicate white flower. Other common spring ephemerals (and these will undoubtedly include some of your favorites) are spring beauty (Claytonia virginica), Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica), wood anemone (Anemone quinquefolia), rue anemone (Anemonella thalictroides), cut-leaf toothwort (Cardamine concatenate), wild ginger (Asarum canadense), wild geranium (Geranium maculatum), yellow corydalis (Corydahs flavula), some violets (Viola spp.), trilliums (TVilhum spp.), trout lilies or dog-tooth violets (Eiythronium Photo courtesy of Maureen Harris HEPATICA (Hepaticaacutiloba) americanum), and Dutchman’s breeches (Dicentra cucullaria). In addition to blooming early, many spring ephemerals (bloodroot, trout-lily, wild ginger, corydalis, twinleaf, trilbums, violets, Dutchman’s breeches) are notable for producing elaiosomes, fleshy fat-rich bodies attached to the outside of seeds. For ants sake! Studies have shown that the chemical constituents of elaiosomes, especially various fatty adds, are highly attractive to many ant spedes, sometimes drawing them from great distances away. We usually do not see this in the field because ants remove seeds as quickly as they’re formed, take them to their nests, and feed the elaiosomes to larvae. The seeds are Photo courtesy ot Jim Lawrey BLOOD ROOT (Sanguinariacanadensis) discarded in ant refuse piles where they germinate and grow later on. Elaiosomes obviously benefit ants. But why should a plant invest so much energy enticing ants to take away their seeds? The theory is that seeds are better off away from the parent plant where they are less likely to be eaten by seed predators and more likely to establish themselves. So the plant-ant association appears to be mutually beneficial, with each associate getting an essential resource (the ants get food and the plants get protection/transport) at a time when resources are in short supply. Let us know also if you are lucky enough to see ants dispersing seeds in any of these species. Send your comments to: rappnature@aol.com. Griffin Tavern trivia tourney touts local champs By Joe King Special to the Rappahannock News Griffin Tavern & Restaurant in Flint Hill held its 2nd Pub Quiz Championship Ibumament on Sunday March 20. Tfeam “Bricks *N Da Wall” had sweet revenge as they edged out the reigning champion “Village Idiots” in an exciting tiebreaking bonus round. The teams were neck and neck throughout the 3-round event.

• Events/B2 • Classifieds/B4-B8 March 31, 2005 www.timescommunity.com Washington’s Ice House brings more retail to town By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Owning an ice house in the nineteenth-century was seen as a display of wealth. For Gary and Michelle Schwartz, opening Washington’s Ice House will bring wealth to the Town of Washington. “The town has given so much to us,” Michelle said, “we are just giving back to the town, that really has been our motivation ” The Schwartz’s, who own The Heritage House Bed and Breakfast next door to the Ice House, voiced concerns of the lack of retail stores within the Town of Washing ton, and the need for a tourist town to focus on retail. The small shop will cater to those seeking antiques and fine gifts that gravitate toward colonial items, fitting veil with the heritage of Washington. In fact, with a bust of our founding father, George Washington in the front window, a passerby from Orlean stopped in to inquire, and after looking around, purchased one of the beautiful hand-painted eggs in the shop. Also found while perusing items in the shop are Virginia Civil War related books, Colonial Williamsburg reproductions (without the Colonial Williamsburg prices), whimsi cal jewelry boxes and beau^ tiful antique furniture. Freshwater pearl necklaces ft and sterling silver earrings, handmade by local resiA dent, Natasha, are also available for sale, as well as sterling charms and pins for horse lovers. Historical treasures For history buffs, stop in and take a look at Gary’s hobby, renovating patent models, several of which are on display. He was introduced to the hobby from a visitor at the Heritage House and has acquired a 1858 model J. Nagele press, designed for embossing and figuring velvet. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jeanne Spath GRAND OPENING: Washington’s Ice House owners, Gary and Michelle Schwartz, announce the new shop’s opening on Main Street in Little Washington. In doing this hobby, bchwartz has found out where the phrase “going* through government red tape” originated. The press has a ’ tag of patent approval, tied to the model with a red piece of fabric tape, showing it has met with the government’s seal of approval. The antiques in the shop, including a sterling silver tea service, a unique birdcage and several pieces of furniture, have been acquired from estate sales. The Schwartzes are planning to landscape the lawn iv between the Heritage ■1w House and the Ice House, opening it to the public as a park where the community and tourists are V t f SHADES OF OLD: Left, antique* lamps and candleholders are available at the new store in Washington., PRETTY BOXES: Right, beautiful jeweled boxes make wonderful gifts at Washington’s Ice House. welcome to sit and enjoy the flavor of Washington. Open House Washington’s Ice House will be celebrating with an open house on Sat., April 9 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Regular business hours will be Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. for now, and then as the tourist season begins, they will be opening more. Of course, private openings are welcome and can be scheduled simply by calling the Heritage House at 540-675-3207. Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers. com Local author returns to old haunt By Nancy Ostinato Special to the Rappahannock News James Gannon, former owner and founder of the Old Sperryville Bookshop, begins a new chapter as he returns to the bookshop, not as a bookseller but as a visiting author. Mr. Gannon will be on hand Friday April 8th at 7:30 pm reading selec-/ tions from and signing copies of his new book, A Life in Print. The book, while based on Gannon’s 33-year career in journalism, is more than a collection of columns he wrote for various newspapers over the years. It reads like a remarkable diary, no doubt due to the emphasis on the personal, human experiences of the writer’s life. As one reviewer of the book, Carol Stevens of USA TODAY, so aptly put it, “some columns yellow like the newspaper on which they originally appeared. The selections from the sterling career of newsman Jim Gannon are a happy exception. He writes with clarity and wit not so much about yesterday’s headlines as about universal themes that resonate through the years: family and roots and the timeless promise of land. You will like these crystalline vignettes of an American life. And you will like even more the man who lived them.” Gannon, who spent 17 years with The Wall Street Journal as a reporter and bureau chief, covered business and economics, national politics and government. Under his editorship, The Des Moines Register, Iowa’s leading newspaper, won three Pulitzer Prizes while Gannon’s columns won national writing awards. As Washington Bureau Chief for the Detroit News, he covered The White House, Congress and politics. Even in retirement, he continues to write for USA TODAY and the Rappahannock News. Although his columns cover everything from his Midwestern roots to his Irish heritage to his interest in trains, politics and a confederate ancestor, one essay that is particularly ironic is the one entitled “Books, Books, Books: What to do with Them All?” written in September of 1994. In this work, Gannon writes about his weakness for books and his temptation to open a bookstore, which he decided was impractical. Of course, four years after writing that column, he did just that, opening the very bookshop in the former Episcopal Church in Sperryville where he will now be signing copies of his book. Mr. Gannon ran the bookshop for 5 years before selling it to the current owners. The April 8th event is free and open to the public. Copies of A Life in Print are available for $14.95. Tb reserve a copy of the book or for more information about the reading and book signing, please call the Old Sperryville Bookshop at 987-8444. ■ ;v f.

It is followed by Rachmaninoff’s Corelli . Variations, Op. 42, composed in 1931 — over two hundred years after Corelli’s death. After the intermission comes Ravel’s Sonatina, composed in 1905. The concert ends with Chopin’s Sonata in B minor, Op. 58, composed in 1844. !>;f; The pianist, Naoko Takao, a native of Japan, will give her first recital at the Theatre in Little Washington. f She will be playing the new Kawai RX grand piano, which the Theatre acquired last fall. Kenneth ; Slowik, artistic director of the Smithsonian Chamber Players, says that “Naoko Takao is a true musician, with real intellectual and emotional understanding ' of the music, not just a fine pianist, and I’m certain | that her program will make your new piano sing ^beautifully.” Naoko Takao has been active as recitalist, orchestral soloist, and chamber musician in the United States as well as in France, Taiwan, and Japan. - ^ Since coming to the United States in 1984, she has been a recipient of several awards and scholarships. 0 ' She has studied with Nathan Schwartz at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, with Raymond Hanson at the Hartt School of Music, and with Anne Koscielny and Santiago Rodriguez for her doctorate degree at the University of Maryland.

Schusterman Schusterman to speak at next library talk By Betsy Hille Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) welcomes innovative chiropractor and applied kinesiologist expert, Dr. Dale H. Schusterman, Friday, April 8 at 8 PM at the Rappahannock Library, as part of the Second Friday at the Library Series. Admission is free. Schusterman will talk about his refreshing and non-invasive system of “deeper” healing that has evolved over the last 20 years of his chiropractic practice, based on the Kabbalah, the mystical branch of Judaism. His slide presentation will illustrate hand signs found in beautiful and important Renaissance and Asian art, and the relationship of these hand signs to the Kaballah and present day spiritual healing. Schusterman’s book, Sign Language of the Soul: A Handbook for Healing, explores many of the special hand signs that we see depicted in the hands of angels, spiritual teachers, and masters in paintings and sculpture. In short, “sign language of the soul” (sos) is a way of using the hands as an interface between the body and the soul. The book actually teaches a vocabulary of resonating hand signs and words that attune your nervous system to your innermost consciousness. Lawrence M. Steinhart, author of Beauty Through Health from the Edgar Cayce Readings, has this to say about Schusterman’s work. “Esoteric Judaism teaches about the Tree of Life, a symbol of the 32 pathways of consciousness. Schusterman adeptly shows that there is a one-to-one relationship between the map of the Tree of Life and the human body. Furthermore, he explains how to tune the body to this energetic source. Although the methods are based on esoteric principles, they have been thoroughly tested in clinical settings to demonstrate their ability to balance the spine, skull, meridians, and emotional system. You feel free and light in your body after one of these balancing sessions, which you can perform yourself.” In 1983, Schusterman received the first Kabbalistic hand sign, and this began a new phase in his healing work. Reflects Schusterman. “I applied this new knowledge to myself first, and then later to my patients. As the pathways of the TVee of Life unfolded within me, I not only resolved many of my own issues, but found that I was able to do so for others. Schusterman began focusing not only on improving his patients physical condition, but also to help them feel better about themselves. “When we feel good, our self-image is healthy, our relationships are apt to be more fulfilling and fruitful, and we are likely to make good decisions.” Continues Schusterman, “Many See SCHUSTERMAN, Page B2

LFCC to offer mini-course in Civil War history Lord Fairfax Community College’s (LFCC) Center for Civil War History is presenting a mini-course, “Social Aspects of the Civil War,” beginning on April 12, 2005. The six-week program will meet every Tuesday from 4-6 p.m. at Rappahannock County High School. LFCC Professor Jonathan A. Noyalas, a Civil War histo-' rian, author, consultant and lecturer, will instruct the class, which will provide parr ticipants with a better understanding of the causes of the American Civil War and the impact upon all peoples, both North and South. The following course topics will be covered: • April 12: Understanding Why the Civil War Came • April 19: “Billy Yank” and “Johnny Reb:” What they Fought For and Life on the Front Lines • April 26: The African American’s Civil War 1 • May 3: The Home Front: North and South • May 10: Civil War Medicine • May 17: Heroes and Legends: The Confederacy’s Lost Cause LFCC opened the Center for Civil War History last month with an inaugural luncheon and lecture at Rappahannock County High School.

SCHUSTERMAN From Page B1 of us have it backwards. For example, many people believe that if they were to lose weight, they would be happy. Truthfully, if they find their inner happiness, the weight will come off naturally. New life-style habits will be a by-product of their inner joy.” Schusterman’s techniques have been used successfully time and again to bring about healing, joy and well being. Sign Language of the Soul is especially recommended for providing readers with a six-step plan for activating the “Tree of Life” process of personal healing and balance. Says Schusterman, “the procedure is easy to learn and easy to use. You can use it to help yourself or to help others.” The following are real-life examples, in which Schusterman’s healing approach was successfully applied: • A 66-year-old woman injures her wrist and shoulder • A man helps his wife with side effects of chemotherapy • A man is traumatized by being fired from his job • An individual has chronic fatigue, multiple allergies and digestive problems. Concludes Schusterman, “It still amazes me to see obvious structural misalignments literally disappear as the result of a simple hand sign or by thinking or saying a word that causes the body to resonate to one of the frequencies of the Tree of Life. Likewise, a major life trauma can resolve just as easily. A simple attunement to the Tree of Life can create a profound effect of lasting value.” On a personal note, Dr. Dale Schusterman graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic in 1977. Prior to this he graduated from the University of Michigan (1973). He practiced in Rappahannock County from 1994-2001. He currently lives in Northern Virginia with his wife Blanca, an expert in early childhood education, and their young daughter Julia, an expert in play.

Other days, the feeling is like being stuck in a foot of mttd. You just can’t seem to get anywhere, no matter how hard you try. Worst of all, however, are the more tragic times when you fed hopeless and alone...when it’s no joking matter and the world looks verydark indeed. We have often heard it said “it is darkest right before the dawn". Yet we have faith that the light of day will dawn. Why? - Because it never fails. There is always a new dawn. God never fails to recreate the dawn. You will see a new dawn as well, no matter how hopeless life seems, when you have faith in the power of your Heavenly Father.
