127th Year ... No. 18 Phone (540)675-3338 THURSDAY, MAY 5, 2005 Worldwide at timescommunity.com 50 cents Clinical social worker opens practice in Sperryville By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer For those who have strolled down the streets of Sperryville, noticing changes at 14 Water Street, the changes have not been for a new residence. Barbara Adolfi has opened her practice at the renovated house, serving the community as a licensed Clinical Social Worker. “When most people hear the term ‘clinical social worker’ they automatically think of the welfare system,” Adolfi said. However, her practice is more like that of a psychiatrist or psychologist who counsels with people, enabling them to find ways to deal with and solve personal and family problems. “My work is primary — a holistic approach where I work with the whole person and whole family, including the mind, body and spirit and offer other disciplines to support my clients,” Adolfi said. For instance, if Adolfi is working with a child and his or her family, she would attend a school conference as a support person. Having begun this line of work in 1979 as a school social worker in Fairfax County, Adolfi has seen an increase of clients suffering with anxiety and depression. She said that most people come in, not knowing why they are anxious or depressed. However, through counseling and talking with her, clients begin to find the cause for themselves, and treatment and healing begin. “I’m here to help a person and their family have happier lives,” said Adolfi.

Through counseling, Adolfi attempts to help clients realize their own strengths, suggesting that something that appears neurotic may actually be a source of resiliency in a person — a healthy response to a bad situation.

Entertainment was provided both by Hallberg (playing a dulcimer), the A+ band, and Ben Mason and group. Those who attended the festivities were able to taste “mead” (made of honey and said to be man’s first fermented drink) and the much-sought-after (but hard-to-find) morel mushrooms. At a certain moment in the fife of the mushroom filaments, under conditions which are still a mystery, they start to pop up through the ground — usually after a good rainfall. The morel mushroom is easily distinguished from nearly all other mushrooms by its irregular honeycombed appearance and excellent flavor. Morels are found during the spring months in old orchards and especially in areas that have been burned out, under poplar trees, and under areas of heavy growth, Bobby Deal of Sperryville loves the mountains and has been hunting mushrooms since he was six-yearsold.

Deal commented that in all his years of hunting he has never found a morel quite this large. Deal preserves his prize mushrooms in quart jars with water and alcohol. He enjoys keeping them and looking back over the years at his prize finds. “It was the next best thing to deer hunting getting that prize trophy,” smiled Deal.

County Board of Supervisors give schools less than requested School board will have to trim $150,000 from budget By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News StafT Writer Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Robert Chappell and three members of the Rappahannock County School Board were the first to hear the news — they will be making the county’s school budget with $150,000 less. The school board had proposed a budget of $11,357,832 with the county being responsible for $7,451,519 of that amount. The county’s portion would be a 15-percent increase from last year. In voting to “decrease the increase” as Supervisor Roger A. Welch of Wakefield District referred to the reduction, the school board’s budget has been reduced to $11,207,832 with the county being responsible for $7,301,519. The decision made by the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors on Monday was not made lightly, with all members tossing several concerns about. However, the general consensus of the board was summed up by Welch, “A lot of people can’t afford this increase. I don’t know how we can approve a 10-cent on the dollar tax increase for the school budget.” Likewise, Supervisor S. Bryant Lee of the Hampton District voiced concern of people within the county who are living on a fixed income and are not receiving an increase in pay such as the proposed pay increase of 5-percent for teachers in the school’s budget. Members of the Board of Supervisors did commend Chappell for the preciseness of the budget proposal, saying that it was the easiest to read budget they the board could remember having to read from the School Board in the past. Just prior to the unanimous vote by the Board of Supervisors, Chairman Charles K. “Pete” Estes said, “I wish there were a solution better than this solution.” In response to how the schools will adjust with the reduction of appropriated funds, Chappell said, “The school board has listed its priorities — dealing with people is our first priority and things that we will look at secondly are the total picture.” Farmland Protection The Board of Supervisors have received an application for the Farmland Protection Program from a farming family within Rappahannock County. The county approved unanimously to offer $100,000 for up to nine development rights. “The land is prime farmland,” John McCarthy, County Administrator said, “we are paying a portion and other participants are paying the land owners as well. McCarthy advised the board that of the criteria rating set by the board initially, the applicants scored 27.5 and with this being the only application received by the board, he recommended that the board approve the application. He further explained that Rappahannock County and the Virginia Outdoors Foundation would hold the easement jointly- lyIn public comment, Dr. Monira Rifaat of the Piedmont District reminded the board that ownership of the land does not change and that if the property is sold, the development rights remain intact. “We need to make sure people know that this does not always mean that down the line others will have funds to contribute,” said Lee, “Not every circumstance down the road will have the same dollar amount of contribution.” The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve the application received. The application does have to go through two state agencies prior to receiving the Farmland Protection. However, the Secretary of National Resources and the Virginia Outdoors Foundation only meet once a quarter, and have not met to approve this application. Real estate reassessment Each member of the board was advised to begin seeking volunteers from each district wishing to be a part of the reassessment process by collecting information. Appointments for this committee will be made in the June 6 meeting of the Board of Supervisors. Affordable housing McCarthy briefed the Board of Supervisors on a workforce forum he attended, giving facts about the Rappahannock-Rapidan Region. Included in the statistics were quotes from the forum, showing that job growth in the region has been lower than the state average from 1989-2003. Rappahannock County is the only county within the region that has not grown in population, according to the statistics given. However, Fauquier County has increased in population by 5,200 while Culpeper has grown by 4,000. In the bordering areas of Washington, D.C., jobs have increased by 287,000 within the past five years and the average house price has increased by 80-percent within the same amount of time. Eldercare Coalition McCarthy advised that the Eldercare Coalition will be holding a community conversation on aging at the Washington Fire Hall on May 25 at 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Ibpics will include assessments of needs of the aging within the county and services that are needed, as well.

After retiring from Fairfax County Public Schools, she became a consultant, clinical supervisor and trainer for Fauquier County Head Start and George Mason University Center for Human Disabilities, which she continues even while operating a private practice. Not long after getting settled in Rappahannock County, Adolfi was visiting her physician, Dr. Jack McCue of Washington and they began discussing stress related illnesses. She laughed, telling him that he could see his patients by day and she would see them in his office at night. That joking conversation began Adolfi’s private practice in the county, seeing patients in the doctor’s office one evening a week. While the practice has grown with clients from the immediate area, she still has clients who make the trip from Fairfax, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of Rappahannock County along with the counseling received. Adolfi stressed that client confidentiality is of the utmost importance to her, especially since she practices within a small community, a “I let my clients know that if they see me outside ui the practice, I will not address them unless they address me first,” she said. The Sperryville office Adolfi’s office in Sperryville is listed on the Historic Registry of Rappahannock County, a building that has received considerable loving treatment from the clinical social worker and her husband, Ray Boc. The couple completely gutted the home, pulling out walls and flooring to restore the home. “I’ve fallen in love with this house,” Adolfi remarked, “I love it’s warmth and charm.” During the renovation project, Adolfi prepared a cozy office space, a place of comfort for herself and clients alike.

Sanford, M.D., was professor of Medicine and Chief of the Infectious Diseases Service at the University of Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas during the late 1960s. As a result of a lecture he taught there on new synthetic penicillin, Sanford penned a pocketsized reference book for physicians. The book allows easy access to information following a hierarchy from type of infection to the bacteria] cause and then offering antibiotics that will treat the disease and any contraindication of the medication. “I cam remember my father sitting at his desk every evening, immersed in medical FREE INSPECTION Protect your home.

It became a family effort around the kitchen table over the years,” Jeb said, recalling that his mother, Lorraine handled the business end of the production. Eventually, other physicians were brought on as an editorial board and their work continues since Sanford’s death in 1996 when Jeb and Diane took over the business in Northern Virginia. “The business really took off when we went on the Internet,” Diane said, “giving us the opportunity to reach people all around the world.” The book is now offered in numerous languages and is circulated throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, South America and Africa in over 100 countries. “One of the best letters I have gotten was from a doctor in Cashmere,” Jeb said, “He was physician to a remote Tibetan community and had an old copy of the book, which was quite worn.

By 1998, while living in Vermont, Diane’s dream of one day owning horses became a reality when she purchased her first Arabian. Over the years, the couple acquired more Arabians and are involved in breeding and training, having claimed three national championships in the past two years. Future in Sperryville Jeb and Diane look forward to opening the distribution center in their new Sperryville location. Although the couple has heard concerns throughout the county of this being a “fly-bynight” venture, Diane laughs, saying, “This has been a family owned and operated business for 35 years — we’ve been around longer than Microsoft.” The projected date for converting the Vermont operation is scheduled for August. The Sanfords will be hiring customer service representatives to work in the Sperryville location at that time. “We need people who don’t mind giving a lot of individual attention to our customers,” Diane said, adding, “This is a good business for the county — something that has no environmental impact and is a business consistent with the Rappahannock vision.” Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers.com Sunnyside Farms Sperryville Location Now Open Until 8 PM Thursday - Monday Closed Tuesday & Wednesday , Saturday Night ginning May 7ft* / Classic Car Cruise .

Memories of Mama My mother’s name was Aurora. Her funeral was held on what would have been her 94th birthday five years ago in July. The service was small, and I was fine until the notes of “Malaguena” wafted through the air. When my sister phoned to sa> that she had died, my sadness was overshadowed by my relief. Her last years had been difficult and without dignity for her. A series of strokes had left her unable to walk and her entire left side was paralyzed. Her vision, which was already bad, worsened and she wasn’t able to hear. Yet, her mind was intact, and even though she tended to wander down paths of the past, she still was aware of her deteriorating condition and frustrated by her inability to do the things she loved. She could only read for small periods; the letters appeared jumbled when she was able to make them out, and her fingers had long ceased to be able to crochet or hold a pencil long enough to fill in the blanks of the daily crossword puzzle. But there was a time when mother was strong and her fingers were nimble. When I was very small, some of my earliest memories were of my mother carefully fin From Where I Sit Anita Sherman gering brilliant white gloves on my hands. They were the final touch to my new navy blue coat that had a large white collar edged with scalloped lace. I also had a white beret that she stylishly pushed to one side. My greatest pleasures I found in the shopping trips we took together. We’d get on a faded red bus that wound its way through our neighborhood nearly on the hour and head to downtown Portland some 30 minutes away. Once there, she rarely released my hand. On one trip, she bought me a pale green sweater that didn’t ride up my arms. I remember the polished buttons. She also bought me a new lunch box for school. She liked the one with a Scottish plaid design but let me buy the one plastered with Superman comics. Then she took me to the toy department and let me choose a new doll. She loved dolls, especially the ones with porcelain heads and fancy dresses.

When I was older, we’d frequent the Georgian Tea room on the 10th floor and have a glass of wine with our meal. I had my first, cup of coffee when I was about 12. It was heavily sedated with cream and sugar. Later I drank it black, like my mother did. One of my mother’s particularities was that she absolutely would not drink coffee from anything other than a cup and saucer. She rarely would use a mug, and under no circumstances would she touch styrofoam. She loathed the sight of a ketchup bottle on the table. One wintry day as I was walking home from St. Rose Catholic School, I caught a glimpse out of my left eye of chubby Steven Cook abreast a hill crafting a snowball. I should have followed my instincts and crossed the street but I did not. Once his snowball was done, he let it loose, and it hit me hard on the forehead. I still wasn’t too big to sit on my mother’s lap. As she wiped away the tears streaming down my face, she told me not to be offended by the uncivilized acts of uncouth and naughty boys, and then she offered me a Cadbury bar. That was another of her favorites — chocolate, and the richer the better. Mother loved the taste of butter, and explained to me one day that she was saving my father money. She told me that since she didn’t frequent beauty parlors, in her mind, butter was a much better bargain. My first piano lessons were with a bitter little nun that had bad breath and scared me to death. She’d place her bony hands atop mine and scream at me when I didn’t get a note correct. My mother wanted me to learn to play and found a different teacher that lived near us. I loved Mrs. Booth and her two furry dogs and flourished under her direction. I would sit and play the piano for hours while my mother would read or knit. Her favorite composer was Chopin, and even though she couldn’t read music, she knew when I’d made a mistake. She discovered Carlos Castenada before I did when I was in college and introduced me to Wallace Stegner. She devoured Agatha Christie’s novels and always reminded, me how clever an author she was. Our bathroom always had a different scent because my mother loved soaps. But she refused to use grocery-store Immediate Openings!

Instead, whenever we went on our shopping trips, she would buy a box of special soaps. I liked them because the bars were always larger and sculpted and I never got burned or had red skin with them. There were a lot of things about my mother that bothered me, and as I was growing up I knew that I would be very different from her. She never drove a car and never worked outside the home, even though she had been a teacher before she married my father. Her gradual loss of hearing was annoying, and she was always nagging me about standing up straight and wondering if I was happy. She had no financial sense and no understanding of the business world. She had no interest in politics and couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t wear my skirts longer. But my appreciation for her catapulted upon the birth of my own daughter. Now, a mother myself, I could comprehend the awesome responsibility of raising a child. I’m a big girl now and have three children of my own. I understand about dying and death and loss. But whenever I am cuddled up with a freshly sharpened pencil and a crossword puzzle ... or hear a prelude by Chopin ... or reach to take the ketchup bottle off the table ... or add butter to a recipe ... or bathe with lavender soap — I remember mama and wish that she and I could share a cup of coffee together again.

Arundel. It was changed from a tabloid format to its current broadsheet format as it had originally been when first published in 1877. In Nick Arundel’s printed statement to the community in that May 5, 1977 issue, he spoke of the paper’s vision: “While assuming this week ownership of the Rappahannock News, founded just a century ago in 1877, my arrival will make no difference to the central purpose of this newspaper, which is its essential trust to provide the people of Rappahannock County with a clear printed mirror of our times.” Arundel spoke of increasing growth and the opportunities it would present but he also spoke of conservation. “This change must not and shall not happen at the price of destroying this county’s beauty, natural heritage and its farm industry.” “For our part, this newspaper will fight for progress where progress means wise change and attractive controlled growth. It will resist change where “growth” is no more than a developer’s magic word for destruction of our land, water and air resources.” Arundel stated the paper’s vision to be non-partisan but acutely aware of local, state and national politics. “This paper will expose in justice or corruption; it will battle political demagogues; it will insure the right to each political faction to be heard, but will itself belong to no party.” Since the Rappahannock News became part of the ARCOM chain of newspapers (now numbering 18). some things have changed and others have not. Nick Arundel is still the publisher although his son. Peter Arundel, is the chief executive officer and handles all operational aspects of the company. Arundel ended his statement with the following remarks: “A newspaper consists of about the same number of words each week whether or not there is any big news in it. Words can be razors, or they can be idle, or they can be as the warmth of a summer's morning. They will in this newspaper reflect our times in Rappahanock County.” The paper cost $.15 cents in 1977. ran with no color and was usually 8-10 pages long covering an array of community people and events. Now in 2005. the paper costs $.50 cents, runs with color and. of late, has been averaging more than 20 pages each issue but Arundel’s vision to provide community news to the community it serves in a noble way hasn’t changed. Hopefully, it will just get better. Happy Anniversary Nick! Letters to the Editor Wo welcome your opinions and comments.

The invitation says “Tickets at the door” but only if we have received payment. Walkups will be out of luck. I interpret the response to the fund raiser as another indication that we — the Rappahannock community — want to keep the county the way it is. That’s the mission of the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA). We encourage landowners to donate conservation easements; we also support the Farmland Preservation Programs. Rising land prices are tempting landowners to divide and sell. Farmers who are land rich but cash poor are especially vulnerable. The county’s Farmland Preservation Program encourages farmers to keep farming by purchasing their development rights — their rights to subdivide their property.

With thanks, Philip Morgan Sunnyside Farms Famous Rest Stop General Merchandising Manager “There is no finish line until we find a cure” For the past five years, I have served as chairperson for the "Relay for Life” Cancer Survivor walk in Rappahannock County. Each year we face three facts: There will be new survivor victims to register, we may loose sonu one who was a part of our survivor family, and we have those who are battling this dreadful disease to the point that they can no longer participate in the walk. The bright side is that there are many who come each year, rain or shine, and keep the hope flowing for the new survivors and yes, we draw strength from each other. As long as this list is growirtg year after year, there is still much to do in finding a cure for cancer My survivors range in age from 17 < a young man who is already a 7-vear survivor1 to the age of 70. The survival rate ranges from one month to 30 plus years. Some have gone years only to have this monster rear its ugly face and again put their lives in turmoil — not to mention the stress on the family. Each of these folks has a story to tell and some make me weep. One example: A young lady was diagnosed wath cancer and she came to the relay with her Mom (who also has cancer) for the first time in 2003. Her mom is a survivor of several years. Up to this point this lady was not familiar with the relay and she was so impressed that she spoke of the desire to learn more about getting a team together of her own. Sadly to say she lost her battle before she could make this wash come true. She left a beautiful young daughter that I had the pleasure to meet at the relay last year. This daughter came and walked with her grandmom. I find it amazing that there are still so many people out there who do not know about the Relay for Life and for what it stands. On behalf of my survivors and myself, a survivor of 15 years, I want to thank all the teams who struggle to raise their money and come back year after year out of the need to save lives and also to the new teams that pledge to take on ;he task as well. Each team is a winner in my book simply because you care about saving lives. Your team may just be the one that helped save or will save a little child’s life. I am sure that there are survivors here in this county that I have not reached through an invitation letter. You may register at the survivors tent at the beginning of the relay on Saturday, May 21, anytime after 3 p m. Our opening ceremonies begin at 4 '■ nless the rain visits us again this yean. Thanks to so many peo pie who make this relay a great success. We cannot have success without teams and more teams and of course the survivors who lead the first lap around the track. Some find it hard to walk and that is fine, but it is important that they be recognized. Ben Atkins and Tamara Waldo are to be commended for all they're doing. If someone out there will accept the challenge to form a team, hurray! It is still not to late! Call me at 635-2073 and I will point you in the light direction. As always we still stand behind the motto, “There is no finish line until we find a cure.” To me this means that no matter how tired we may get, the work has to continue for the sake of our family, our friends, and ourselves. Thanks and God bless. Carolyn Leake Chester Gap Emergency services applauded We would like to thank the Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue, the Sheriff Department and all the vol unteers who helped during an extreme emergency which occurred on Wednesday.

She accepted all things that came before her and she made the best of each situation, thinking not of herself but of her family. She was the mother of ten and mad? each one feel uniyue and special. She was the epitome of love as described to the people of Corinth by the Apostle Paul Love is patient and kind; love is not jeal ons, or conceited, or proud; love is not ill-mannered, or selfish, or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth Love never gives hope, and patience never fails Love is eternal Love is the greatest gift. Mamma taught us about love She taught us about loving and sharing. to always say please and thank you and to help each other. She taught us to respect our elders and always say Ma'am and Sir. She taught us about suffering and endurance and that old age is not for sissies. She taught us our survival skills and she taught us how to die. This tribute was written in 1999 by Alices daughter, Ann Jones, on her mother s passing up: its faith, Edna Burke . Although we have to be apart.

My mother proclaimed, "that is not mif babif! , to w’hich the nurse gruffly pronounced, "it most certainly is.

She was taken from us 11 years ago, much too early, at the age of only 53 years old. I miss her terribly even now and it tears at my heart that she will never- know my youngest daughter.

My mother, born Rose Marie Christina of pure Italian descent has filled my life with enthusiastic support as my mother instilling family values, my softball and basketball coach, encouraging my athletic ability when I was young and sharing some of her own (she's an incredible golfer), my current events teacher while I was in school, my housemate when I moved hbme after college, my confidante throughout it all and now with glowing love, the grandmother of my children. In my book, everyday is Mother s Day. I am so grateful to be living. I love both my parents for giving me this life, as is. Brenda Van Ness I don t quite knou> what the average mother is. I used to believe that a mother - who never said no and got me everything that I wanted, whenever I wanted it was the ideal mom — truly, there is no satisfaction in a mother like that. Every once in a while I am disappointed, with her decisions, but most times the decisions come out fine. I have also decided that my mother is my official role model. Even though, many times. I have wondered if my mom is not bi-polar because of the differences in her personality in various situations. Nevertheless, everywhere she goes people are automatically drawn to- her. Why? There is no question. Not only in her physical features is she very beautiful, but she is also, a very beautiful person on the inside. I know she would be thrilled to hear me utter these words. She has a certain presence or “vibe" that surrounds her wherever she goes. Although in my eyes my mother is perfect, mornings have generally never been her best time; yet, through that, she manages the impossible task of waking me up, getting me ready and usually on time to school. My mother is not only the best mother in the world, she is also my best friend. We can easily sit down and talk about everything, helping me work out every situation that troubles me in the least. I love my mom sooooooooooo much for everything that she has done for me. Savanna Seventh grade Rappahannock County Elementary School SAVE S E SAVE SAVE SAVE Spmg Special..

School News Every year the Virginia School Board Association publishes “Showcases of Success” a booklet detailing successful programs in public schools through out the State of Virginia. Over 77 programs from 36 school divisions were submitted as appropriate showcases for the good things happening in public education. Rappahannock County High School had three programs chosen to be included, the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program, the Book Buddies program, and the Culinary Arts program. The EMT program was established in January of 2004 and students have been participating in simulations to give them first hand experiences to help them respond to real crises. Members of the community involved in various rescue squads saw the program as a way to spark student’s interest in volunteer membership after high school. With the help of the Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue squad the school system was able to provide equipment, funding, and an excellent local EMT instructor to that the program. Five of the ten graduates of the first year program are now serving as volunteers in the community and there are thirteen more students studying for certification this spring. Graced with so many fine restaurants in the county that employ its members in the kitchen the school introduced its award winning Culinary Arts program. The program now provides outstanding training for students who were once taking “Home Economics.” Three levels of culinary arts are taught to over one hundred students each year. Students have a state of the art kitchen as their classroom in which they learn to prepare and serve meals. Competing annually in state-wide cooking competitions the school has had two state winners for the last two years, including the state champion high school pastry chef last year. The program Sara Ann Markham goes beyond the school room as students have catered many events in the county. The program has even lead some students to chose culinary arts as their career path and they have been accepted into prestigious culinary schools in the Northeast. The Books and Buddies program consists of volunteers from the RCHS honor Society and community who work with remedial first and second graders two days a week after school for an hour to help the students learn how to read. James Madison University Graduate Sara Ann Markham, daughter of Mary C. Markham of Centreville, Va., and the late Richard A. Markham, will graduate from James Madison University on Saturday May 7, 2005. She will graduate Summa cum laude, Bachelor of Science, with a major in Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies, and a minor in Early' Childhood Education, with a concentration in Mathematics and Science. Sara will be the flag bearer for the College of Education in the ‘main ceremony, and in the College of Education Ceremony, earning the honor by having the highest grade point average in her college.

DAR Good Citizen award winners At a tea held at Rappahannock County Library March 5, the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter of the NSDAR met to present the Annual Good Citizens Awards. The DAR Good Citizens Awards are presented to high school seniors with the qualities of Dependability, Service, Leadership, and Patriotism. The four students honored were Danielle Dombrowski of Wakefield School, Mattie Nawrocki of Rappahannock County High School, Clair Hinchey of Culpeper High School and Karrin Temple of Madison High School. The girls were pinned with the DAR Good Citizen pin by their mothers and received a check. Hearthstone School Hearthstone School elementary and high school students enjoyed a group drumming experience led by Pine Phillips and Wendi Sirat who have collected over 50 different varieties of percussion instruments from around the world. Students enjoyed creating their own unique beats that blended into the steady rhythm underneath. The smiles and excitement were testament to the joy that everyone felt as they played together during music class. The traditional May Pole dance was held Monday afternoon on May 2. This annual event depicts thfe celebration of springtime with colorful streamers, flowers, food and music. The community is invited to attend the Mother’s Day concert at Hearthstone on May 6 from 4:30 to 6:30 at the school on Rte 211, 2 miles west of Sperryville. Music teacher Dontez Harris will lead the school children in performing the musical pieces they have been working diligently to perfect. Wakefield Country Day School Head of School Kathleen Grove this year introduced the tradition of celebrating May Day at Wakefield Country Day School, aided by WCDS teacher Lori Perry, who organized the event. The celebration was launched on Monday morning with a May Pole dance by WCDS fourth and fifth graders, two May Day songs, one sung by PreSchool, PreKindergarten and Kindergarteners, and the other by First, Second, and Third graders. The Sixth graders also participated by distributing leis to the younger children, and they later visited the Lynn Care Center with their FIRST GRADERS: Taylor Jones and Joseph Dowell delivering May Day flowers to WCDS neighbor Abigail Gille, accompanied by Reggie and Twig.

Fifth grade counterparts, delivering cards and flowers hand-made by the youngest classes. Students, teachers, and parents gathered in the front yard of Wakefield and listened to Sixth grader John Holsinger explain about the history of May Day, followed by his classmate, Jessica Lester, who talked about different May Day traditions. The May Day celebration is an ancient one, dating back to before the time of Christ. Considered by the Anglo-Saxons as the first day of summer, it was a celebration of survival over winter and the hope of good planting and rich harvests. When the Romans occupied the British Isles, they added their rituals — for them, the beginning of May was a time of feasting and worship of Flora, the Goddess of Flowers. During the Middle Ages, every English village had a Maypole. Today, May Day is celebrated in Italy with flowers placed in and around places of worship; in London, chil dren go from house to house bringing flowers and they also dance and sing around maypoles tied with colorful streamers or ribbons; in Hawaii, May Day is Lei Day. Upon the conclusion of the Wakefield event, students in First, Second, and Third grade continued the celebration by visiting some of their Wakefield neighbors and presenting them with flowers. Textbooks According to the cycle prescribed by the Virginia Department of Education, textbooks are under review for new adoption. Subject areas being reviewed include Foreign Language (high school only), English (middle and high school only) and Mathematics.

Come to 4-H Camp! Once students are released from schools in June, the majority will return home to spend their summer in front of the television. Instead of this typical slothful behavior, why not have kids try something else that is not only productive and engrossing, but fun? It’s the classic event we all hold dear: summer camp. This June, the Rappahannock Country 4H program will hold its annual summer Day Camp, and all children between the ages of six and twelve are encouraged to attend. Located at the scenic Northern Virginia 4-H Educational center in Front Royal, Virginia, Day Camp offers a variety of summer activities and kidfriendly classes ranging from fishing and archery to cooking and woodworking. A significant time is spent daily at the Junior Olympic-sized swimming pool, which is a favorite of many campers. Each day involves a unique theme, such as Hawaiian Day or Superhero Day, in which both children (and adults!) dress accordingly, resulting in a humorous experience for all. Day Camp also includes afternoon presentations and demonstrations which in the past have involved guest speakers, performers, and even festivals. At the end of the event, parents are invited to a closing ceremony followed by an ice cream social. As a result, most campers decide to return the next year for a week filled with fun. 4-H Day Camp is from June 27- July 1, 9:00 a.m.3:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9:00 a m.- 1:30 p.m. Friday. Registration has already begun and is on a first come, first serve basis. The cost is $35 per camper. Transportation is provided by buses from the Rappahannock County Pubic School System. For a registration form or more information, please contact the Extension Office at 540-675-3619 between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Rapp’s Camilla Holte scored the solo goal for the home team and according to coach J. C. Maldanano, could have scored three more, but the Hornet’s goalie was too powerful and stopped the attempts. “Camilla’s goal was a left upper angle of the goalie — very difficult goal even for the pro’s,” Maldanano said, “It was an exceptional goal.” The team has been playing without goalie Caity Waites for several weeks, due to injury. “We have missed her, but Anna Kreyling has stepped up well for the team as a goalie,” he said. The coach praised his team for its numerous attempts to score within the last ten minutes of play, and not giving up on the game.

Wakefield Country Day School hosts successful event By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Over 200 parents and friends of Wakefield Country Day School gathered on April 23 to attend the school’s Sixth Annual Spring Auction and Dinner. Funds raised at this successful event will help finance the WCDS Scholarship and Aid program. Among the 300 various itqpis offered at auction were original artwork from local artists, a hand-pieced jquilt by Jane Heile, an oriental rug from R.H. Ballard, dinner for two at the Inn at Little Washington, and overnight stays at several leading B&Bs in the county, including the Middleton Inn, the Gay Street Inn, Fairlea Farm, and Heritage House. As always, the most popular items were student works of art and class baskets. The Flint Hill Public House provided the dinner that was served by WCDS students. The Shenandoah String Band and the Wakefield Singers provided live music for the event. Returning as auctioneer was Rachel Bechtold. The role of Master of Ceremonies went to Dr. James Dale and Rev.

Special birthday On April 25,1921, in a house in Sperryville just beyond where the new Mountain Cafe is located, James D. Russell was bom. Mr. Russell is known to some in Sperryville as a natural story teller and the author of the local Sperryville Nandy Ostinato 987-8444 oldsperryvillebookshop@igide.net bestseller, “Beyond the Rim: From Slavery to Redemption in Rappahannock County.” Others know him as the businessman who developed the former Blue Moon Restaurant. All who have had the pleasure of getting to know Mr. Russell also know that he is a good man, a man of integrity and excellence, a man who overcame the obstacles in his life by striving to become the best person he could become. Mr. Russell has had a lot of fascinating experiences in his life beginning with a childhood in which he was able to hear firsthand accounts of stories fro-1 the days of slavery and the Civil War from his great-grandmother. As he grew older, he had his own stories to tell, including the one about his near brush with death as a soldier during World War II, and the story of how he had the honor of escorting First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt when she came to visit Hampton Institute where Mr. Russell was a student. He remembers very clearly the words of encouragement to continue his education offered by the First Lady and considers it a highlight of his life. In a tape recorded interview with James Gannon which was included in “Beyond the Rim”, Mr. Russell said he remembers Mrs. Roosevelt saying to him, “You are doing very well aren’t you?” We agree, Mr. Russell. You are doing very well and we wish you a very happy 84th birthday. Churches to observe National Day of Prayer The Bethel and Novum Baptist Churches, both of Reva Way, will be observing National Day of Prayer, today, Thursday, May 5 beginning at 8:30 p.m. This event of an informal evening of prayer and fellowship will be held at Bethel Baptist Church, Hoover Road.

The Wright family is making regular trips to Baltimore to visit Betty Wright, a surgical patent at John Hopkins Hospital. The View from Flint Hill Even though it may not be evident to us, the world is probably unfolding as it should. Now, if I did enough research to find out who it is I am paraphrasing with that first sentence, it would probably have lost much of its meaning by the time I found the answer. What I mean is, in Flint Hill, the gardens are up, the fish are biting, the wild turkeys are gobbling, the morels are in the woods for the picking, and a huge redtail hawk has a nest just up the hill from the Battle Run Church. What a blessing to be alive and living in Rappahannock County. Flint Hill has, of course, changed a lot from the time I grew up here. Bradford’s store is gone; but, we may be getting a dentist. Rector’s store is gone; but there is a very nice restaurant there. The old Flint Hill Elementary School, which I attended for seven years, laboring hard for Mrs. Dodson, Mrs. Russell, Miss Fincham and Mrs. Cooke, has long since closed its doors; but, again, the food at the Public House is wonderful. And Frances Bradford’s house, which once housed a CD manufact Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com uring/duplicating business, is now home to the bustling Griffin Tavern, and their 5 Napkin Burger is my new daughter-in-law’s favorite. Yes, Flint Hill has changed a lot, but you can still walk out the Fodderstack Road and smell the honeysuckle, and the smell of the wild green onions when you mow your lawn brings back a lot of good memories. As time and the editor permit, I will share some of those memories and try to bring you a bit of today’s news and events about ‘wassup’ in the village of Flint Hill and surrounding environs. Please keep two of Flint Hill’s finest citizens, John and Mabel Pendleton, in your prayers. Mabel has been hospitalized at the Front Royal hospital. And remember, Saturday morning, May 1, at the Flint Hill fire hall, breakfast sponsored by the Settle’s Store Team for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. Just $6.00 for adults and $3.00 for the under 12 set. Time is from 7 to 10 a.m. And next Saturday, May 14, breakfast at the fire hall to benefit the Rappahannock Senior Citizens, from 8:45 to 10:15 a.m. All donations will be greatly appreciated. And finally, the Mary Beth Williams Memorial fund annual dinner and bluegrass music extravaganza is this Saturday, May 7, at 4:30 p.m., at the home of Richard and Jeannie McNear, in Gid Brown Hollow. Call 675-3619 for details. If you live in the Flint Hill area and are aware of something you think the readers of the Rappahannock News might be interested in, give me a call at 675-3754 and perhaps I can help to spread the news. In the meantime, the words of my mother that, “too much of a good thing is still too much,” are presently resounding in my stomach. All the books say that any wild mushroom, even the choice morels, should be consumed in moderation. I should pay more attention to what’s in those books. Clean Commute Day can reduce pollution Friday, May 6 is dedicated for “Clean Commute Day”. Motor vehicle exhaust contributes to the formation of ozone pollution. Ozone pollution levels are highest during the period between May and October when higher temperatures and increased sunlight combine with stagnant conditions associated with air pollution. Our efforts during Clean Commute Day can help reduce the amount of pollution we put into the air. We all can help to participate in Clean Commute Day, by walking, biking, carpooling, taking public transit, and using an alternative-fueled vehicle to get to our workplace.

Step into Sunnyside By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sunnyside Farm market has been a part of the Town of Washington for close to five years now. Offering everything from their organic beef, to produce, to cheese, to wine, the small store has become an important asset for those unwilling to make the half hour journey to the nearest supermarket. Located on Gay Street, the store occupies a building that has seen many changes over the years. Originally built in 1835, the building has been home to several retail spaces. Thanks to the care of the building’s current owner, David Cole, great lengths have been gone to in order to restore and preserve the building’s original woodwork. The shelves, drawers, floors and even the large center isle that is home to the candy and baked goods are all original. Despite the fact that the store really is a piece of the town’s history, it is what is inside the store, and on the shelves that really attracts people. Customers can expect to be greeted by friendly employees and the mouth watering smells of hot coffee, fresh scones and cookies, or even the smell of hot soup or quiche. Thanks to the Sunnyside Kitchen which is located across the parking lot in the Clopton House, the store is able to provide an array of daily prepared foods. The kitchen can also cater. Whether it’s a dinner for four or a single apple pie for yourself, if you give them enough advance warning, the Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Rufh Purnell Sunnyside Farm Market in Washington, Va. Kitchen can whip up most anything you desire. The store also has a large selection of wines and a section devoted entirely to those from Virginia. Sunnyside’s Organic Kobe style beef is also show cased in the store and has become a favorite with many of the regulars, who often claim they will not eat any other beef because they love the taste of Sunnyside’s beef so much. Specialty cheeses are other items the store tries to keep in stock. Their cheese case boasts a wide variety of cheese such as white stilton with mango and ginger, mature malt whiskey cheddar, a hand rolled vella sonoma dry jack, and an I tab an truffle cheese known as Caciotta A1 Tartufo. Cozy and comforting A part of Sunnyside Farms, the store was originally intended as the main outlet from the farm to the town and as a store that carried gourmet specialty items. It was not until a few years later that the company decided to expand, building their other facility in Spenyville, Sunnyside’s Famous Rest Stop. While the Rest Stop certainly overshadows the little market in Washington in size, many customers prefer to continue patronizing the Washington store for its warm and intimate atmosphere. Apart from the expansion of the company, the store has seen many other changes right within its own walls. When the store first started out in 2000 there was only the one refrigerated case for the beef and chicken. It was not until two or three years down the road that the store saw the addition of the case for fish and the case for cheese, much to the joy of customers today. By far the biggest addition to the store was the construction GUNSHOW Stonewall District Ruritan Grounds t May 14 & 15, 2005 Saturday 9:00 - 5:00 Sunday 9:00 - 3:00 Friday Night Set-Up Tables - $15.00 Daniel E.

Rappahannock residents set a deal with government salaries By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News StafTWriter It is the time of year that most Board of Supervisors and government officials dislike — budget time. ' Of the proposed $.14 real estate increase for the Fiscal Year 2006 budget for the county, only one cent has been set aside to fund county employee payroll commitments. The remaining $.13 will be broken down with ten cents going to fully fund Rappahannock County Public Schools request, including debt service on the new bond issuance, which was approved last year, and two cents to fund increased landfill costs. The final cent will go to fund a variety of other increases within the county, including cost of living adjustments and new part-time hours in the General District Court services. Over $600,000 of Rappahannock County’s budget is comprised of salaries to pay government officials, which upon first review, is quite large. However, in comparison to surrounding counties, Rappahannock residents are getting quite a deal. In the legal and law enforcement fields, there is quite a variation in salaries among the counties. In Rappahannock County, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke receives $103,000 to represent the county, as opposed to Fauquier County, where the annual salary is $127,340.01. Neighboring Page and Warren County’s Commonwealth’s Attorneys both earn $100,745, with Culpeper County falling at $102,470. Peter Luke also serves Rappahannock County as the County Attorney, for which he receives an annual salary of $30,000, which is quite a bargain compared to the others. Fauquier County’s Attorney, Kevin J. Burke, receives $110,981.32, while Warren County pays its attorney $117,894, Culpeper County is $98,750 and Page County’s salary is $75,000. Also serving in the courts is the Clerk of the Court. In this position, the state supplemented pay is based on the population and caseload. Therefore. Rappahannock County’s Clerk, Diane Bruce’s total salary, $68,346, does not come solely from the county’s budget. Bruce’s salary is the lowest for the position within the surrounding counties, with both Warren and Page Counties paying $91,586. Culpeper County falls in the middle with an annual salary of $93,153 and Fauquier County topping the chart at $103,266.18. County law enforcement Calculating the salaries of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department is not cutand-dry, as a portion of each deputy’s salary is compensated by the State of Virginia, and then the remainder is adjusted by several variables. “The state compensation board is totally based on population,” Rappahannock County Sheriff Larry Sherertz said, “and that is not in line with surrounding jurisdictions that have more resources.” ' Sherertz refers to surrounding counties where total population of the entire county is computed. However, in most of those counties, there is at least one town with its own police force, thus the population is somewhat skewed. A starting deputy in Rappahannock County is paid a flat salary by the State of Virginia, $25,004. After one year on the job, that state compensation increases to $27,332. However, Sherertz appealed to the County Board of Supervisors, and as of 2002, his deputies were also paid by the County payroll, with starting salaries increasing to a total of $30,454, which includes holiday payThe county budget also allows for what Sherertz calls his “longevity incentive plan,” which gives an increase of fivepercent after three years service, nine-percent after five years, 12-percent after 10 years, 15-percent after 15 years and capping at 18-percent aft^r serving 20 years with the county. The average salary for a deputy in Rappahannock is $34,379. Starting deputy pay in neighboring Page County is $23,329 with an average salaiy of $34,075, while Fauquier County deputy’s start at $29,115.47 with an average of $36,394.34. Warren Comity’s starting pay is $29,558, then increasing to $37,267.50 on average. Culpeper County’s non-ranked deputies start at $29,833 and earn $37,292 on average. Sherertz’s salary, which is maintained by the county, is $54,746, making him the lowest paid sheriff within the five counties. In comparison, Sheriff Charlie Ray Fox of Fauquier County earns $85,985.33, while Warren County’s sheriff pulls in $72,483 and Page County’s sheriff earning a bit less, $72,469. Culpeper County comes in just under those at $72,443. County government Fauquier County’s acting County Administrator, Paid McCulla, tops the list of salaries within the four-county region at $132,895.64 with Page County at the opposite end of the spectrum, $90,000. Falling in between are Culpeper County at $100,000, Warren County at $94,100 and Rappahannock’s John McCarthy with a $93,500 annual salary. Culpeper County’s Administrator Frank Bossio praised McCarthy for his service to Rappahannock. “I think you should pay John McCarthy whatever he wants,” Bossio said, half-joking, “As far as I’m concerned, he is the best in the state, bar none.” As for members of the Board of Supervisors, the chairman in each location receives more than the other members. In Fauquier County, the chairman receives $27,500 annually, while the low end of the spectrum falls in Rappahannock County where chairman Charles K. “Pete” Estes receives $4,800 annually for his services. For the remaining localities, Culpeper County’s chairman is paid $9,600 while Page County’s chair earns $7,200 and in Warren County the annual amount is $7,000 for all members of the Board of Supervisors. In Fauquier County, the vice chairman’s pay is also differentiated from the other board members at $25,500 while the remaining members receive $23,500. Culpeper’s members receive $8,400, Page County’s members earn $5,500 and Rappahannock County’s members are each paid $2,400. Planning Commission members in Rappahannock County are paid $25 per month if the commission meets, nothing is paid if there is not a monthly meeting. Once again, Fauquier County tops the list for salaries with their Planning Commission Chairman earning $16,400, the vice-chair earns $15,300 and all other members receiving $14,000. Culpeper County’s Planning Commissioner earns $4,500 T annually while neither Page or Warren Counties have paid Planning Commission members. Other governmental offices Treasurer and Commissioner of the Revenue salaries among the five counties vary considerably with Rappahannock’s treasurer, Frances Foster and Commissioner of the Revenue, Beverly Atkins each earn $52,760. Next in the scale would be Warren County’s treasurer at $63,792 and Commissioner of the Revenue, $69,725, then Page County’s treasurer and Commissioner of the Revenue at $69,725. Culpeper County’s treasurer receives $88,971 while their Commissioner of the Revenue falls slightly lower at $82,817, while Fauquier’s positions earn $90,149.46 for both. School boards Page County is the only area who does not offer stipends to their School Board members and in Rappahannock County the amount is only $600 per year. In Fauquier County, the chairman is paid $14,400, the vice-chairman $13,3000 and all other members earn $12,000. As for Culpeper County, the chairman’s salary is $6,109 while members earn $4,909 and Warren County falls close behind with the chairman earning $4,600 and members $3,600.

Local scholarships have May deadlines By Miranda Hope Special to the Rappahannock News Students and parents ask me about scholarship information every day. Here is the advice I offer: 1. Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available in the guidance office, the Rappahannock County library, and on-line at fafsa.ed.gov. 2. Call tlie school that you plan to attend and talk to their financial aid administrators. 3. Spend an afternoon at the library and on-line. Ask around. If you can write 1000 words on rice growing, if you excel in darts, if you are involved in community service, there is money out there for you. But, you have to seek it out, apply for it, craft your essay, check your spelling and meet their deadlines. We are fortunate in Rappahannock to have so many local residents committed to helping our seniors finance their postsecondary education. Many of the scholarship providers would love to see more applicants. Some years, the money goes unused. Applications for these and other scholarships are available in the Guidance Office.

Photo courtesy of Jon Battle HAPPY HUDSONITES: Each year Hudson enthusiasts gather for “Doc’s Apple Blossum Meet” held at Skyline Caverns in Front F.oyal. Calling all Hudsonites Vintage Hudson, Essex and Terraplane automobiles will be displayed on the grounds of the Skyline Caverns in Front Royal, Virginia on Sunday, May 15. The show is part of the 42nd annual “Doc’s Apple Blossom Meet,” hosted by the Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club. The three-day event traditionally draws 300 Hudson enthusiasts and 60-70 antique cars from as far away as Texas and Canada, and takes place this year from May 13 through 15. The weekend begins with Friday’s pot luck supper at the Front Royal Fire Hall. It continues on Saturday, when dozens of “Hudsonites” drive their cars to the Apple Blossom AACA antique car show in Winchester. Later the group assembles again at the Fire Hall for an evening banquet. The festivities culminate with Sunday’s all-Hudson car show and flea market at the Caverns, which runs from 8:00 a.m. to noon and is open to the public at no charge. (In case of rain on Sunday, Hudson owners will gather at the Front Royal Fire Hall.) Doc’s Meet began in 1964 when Front Royal resident D.C. ‘T)oc” Daugherty invited several fellow Hudson enthusiasts to join him for a gettogether at his sign shop. It has grown in size over the years and is now one of the H-E-T Club’s largest annual gatherings. More information is available on the Internet at www. hudsonclub.org/docs.htm. For additional information by e-mail contact Lewis Mendenhall at DocsMept® hudsonclub.org, or by phone, Jon Battle at (703) 392-6870. The Hudson Motor' Car Company of Detroit, Michigan built such varied vehicles over the years as the Hudson Super Six, the Essex, the Terraplane, the compact Jet, and a line of light pickup trucks. From 1951 to 1954 Hudson’s “Hornet” dominated stock car racing. In 1954 Hudson merged with Nash to form American Motors, which continued to build Hudsons in Kenosha, Wisconsin through the 1957 model year. AMC was purchased by Chrysler in the 1980’s.

www.timescommunity.com Chris Stephens exhibits in Long View Gallery I Above: “Icefloes” Left: “House to House 21" Photos courtesy of Long View Gallery By Martin Woodard Special to the Rappahannock News Chris Stephens, one of the regions most creative artists, will exhibit his newest paintings in Long View Gallery in Sperryville, Virginia. The show will run from May 5 through May 31 and there will be a reception for the artist on Saturday, May 7 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Everyone is invited. Stephens paints in a highly emotional and colorful style that captures an almost magical impression of nature. Many of his works are in unusual formats; some are very verti cal, others extremely horizontal and some are squares. Most paintings are framed with Stephen’s distinctive handmade frames, which seem to extend from the painting surface itself. His landscapes are painted, from life and exude the tribulations and exhilaration the artist feels from being out of doors, struggling with the mechanics and trying to come to terms with light, seasons and atmospheric changes. He often includes dramatic clouds, light and atmospheric changes in his interpretations of nature. This show will include Stephens’ new large panoramic oil paintings as well as his smaller gems. Stephens graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a double major in fine arts and international relations. He received his Master of Fine Arts from James Madison University where he continues to teach art, drawing and design. Stephens is also an active member of Middle Street Gallery, a cooperative gallery in Washington, Virginia. Stephens is a prolific painter and exhibits his work widely. In the past five years he has exhibited in solo and group shows in Philadelphia, Harrisonburg, Greensboro, Washington, VA, Warrenton, High Point, NC, and Bethesda, MD. In addition to Long View Gallery, galleries in North Carolina, Washington, DC, and Philadelphia currently represent him and he is a regular exhibitor in Middle Street Gallery in Washington, VA. “Chris’ paintings are engaging because they are so personal and insightful. With his dramatic use of color and light one almost feels like they are standing right beside the artist in the landscape while he is painting,” explained gallery director, Cheri Woodard. Long View Gallery specializes in contemporary American painting, sculpture and jewelry. The gallery is located on Main Street in Sperryville, Virginia. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Monday. For more information, call 540987-3121 or go to www.longviewgallery. com. Bluegrass legend Cliff Waldron returns to Rappahannock By Betsy Hille Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) proudly welcomes the return of Cliff Waldron and the New Shades of Grass in concert Saturday, May 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Theatre at Washington, 291 Gay Street. Waldron is a legendary bluegrass guitarist who was influential in the sixties and seventies in modernizing and expanding the bluegrass repertoire, bringing such familiar favorites as “Fox on the Run’ into the genre. While the tune has traditionally been linked to the 1970s ensemble Country Gentlemen, and the English rock band Mannfred Mann, Waldron’s then Washington, D.C. based band Emerson and Waldron was responsible for the song’s introduction to bluegrass. Waldron is recognized for bringing other music into the bluegrass genre such as: Tim Hardin’s Tf I Were A Carpenter’, Gordon Lightfoot’s “Early Morning Rain’ and Eric Anderson’s soft ballad. of parting, ‘Close the Door Lightly When You Go.’ Waldron will be accompanied by The New Shades of Grass ensemble members, including mandolinist Wayne Lanham, Mark Maggiolo on banjo, Mark Clifton on the resonator guitar and bassist Terri Chism. “We (the band members) all live within,an hour of each other,” adds Waldron, a Rappahannock resident since 1996. After a 20-year tour of duty with the park service and fighting health problems, Waldron has rekindled his musical calling, with the recording of three albums. In 2004, Waldron was inducted into the Society for Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America (SPBGMA) Preservation Hall of Greats.

The professional artist-members of this co-op gallery have invited their art students and the teachers who influenced their own work to join them in this show. It should be interesting to see how the artists have influenced each other’s approach to making art, and also how the students have moved on to create their own styles. “I teach painting at Lord Fairfax Community college in Middletown and I asked an adult student from a few years ago to exhibit with me,” said artist Chris Stephens, “because she is good, working to become better, and needs to show her work more. Valeria is a nurse at the Winchester Medical Center.” The show runs from May 6 through May 29. The community is invited to the artists’ reception on Saturday, May 7 from 2 to 6 p.m. The Gallery is located next to The Inn at Little Washington'.

Warning: Million dollar lottery scam targeting Virginians Virginians are advised to be cautious of a new scheme called “The Million Dollar Lotteiy.” Within the past two weeks, the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s (BCI) Chesapeake Field Office has received two calls from area residents who had been solicited for money through this scam. The scam is under investigation by state police. The scam is initiated with an official-looking letter and check sent in the mail to allegedly certify that the recipient is one of two international winners of the Million Dollar Lottery 2005 Draw. The letter details that the drawing took place March 11, 2005, and provides several ticket numbers. The recipient is directed to contact a Mr. David Smith via a toll-free number “for processing and remittance of your prize to a designated account” by June 18, 2005. The recipient is asked to leave a name and phone number for follow up contact. A bogus check for more than $4,000 is also enclosed with the letter to “help cover your legal fees involved in your winning.” Once contact is made the recipient is directed to send a personal check for more than $2,000 to an address in British Columbia to cover the cost of processing the prize! “Fortunately, one individual that contacted us had the fore sight to call the bank to confirm the validity of the check sent to him and found out the account didn’t exist,” said Capt. Raymond J. Scott, BCI Division Commander, Chesapeake Field Office. Individuals are advised to never give out personal information. Anyone who may have received such letters and/or has been victimized by this scam is encouraged to contact local authorities or the nearest State Police Headquarters.

A-kiss erased the pain of a skinned knee or hurt feelings. Shelter was your arm. During the teen yean, your queenly crown tilted precariously. You became our “critic”. “Your room is a pigsty!”...

Goodies and loving letters (with an enclosed check) proved your crown was on straight. Thank goodness! Finally, we launched lives ol our own.

Julie Taylor graduates from Lord Fairfax Community College Julie Taylor, a Rappahannock County resident, will graduate from Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC) on Friday, May 13, 2005, with an associate’s degree in education. At 18 years old, Taylor has a jump start on her educational career, especially since she plans to pursue bachelor’s and master’s degrees. At age 16, Taylor graduated high school from Hebron Christian School, a small, accelerated homeschool type program. She immediately enrolled in classes at LFCC and began contemplating what career path she wanted to pursue. “LFCC was the perfect place for me. I am young and decided that LFCC was $. better fit for me than a IH Julie Taylor university setting,” Taylor said. “I needed time to figure but what I wanted to do, ..

LFCC has also helped me develop further learning skills needed for college and my future career. It’s been a great transition place.” Through her courses, she finally settled on education, with the goal of becoming a middle or high school English teacher. “The teacher preparation course helped me to see what teaching is all about,” Taylor said. “I’m excited about pursuing a career in education, and the courses at LFCC helped guide me to that decision.” In addition to taking a full load of classes both online and in the classroom, Taylor currently works as a peer tutor for one of the online English composition classes. She has also worked in . the Learning Assistance Center as a tutor, mostly reviewing English papers and assisting students with reading. This fall, Taylor will transfer to Liberty University, where she will continue her education, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in English with a teacher certification. She then hopes to return to LFCC and enroll in Old Dominion University’s TELETECHNET program and obtain a master’s degree in education. “I would love to come back to the county and teaoh, but am leaving my options open as to a future job,” Taylor said. “Right now, I’m just excited to be graduating. I’ve had a wonderful experience at LFCC and can’t say enough good things about the college. It’s been a great place to learn. Senior considers LFCC a building block in education Morgan Blubaugh, a Rappahannock County resident, has been a student at Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC) since his junior year in high school, completing 54 credit hours in two years. Blubaugh, a high school senior at Rappahannock County High School, will graduate in June and transfer to Marshall University in the fall, taking with him a wealth of collegiate courses and experiences. Blubaugh began taking classes at LFCC when his brother needed to complete a course for a promotion in the Navy. The two brothers signed up together and thus began Blubaugh’s college career, as a junior in high school. “I liked the night classes and atmosphere. People wanted to learn,” Blubaugh said. After that first class, Blubaugh registered for other courses. “There wasn’t a wide abundance of courses to choose from at my high school, so I enjoyed the variety of classes at LFCC,” he said. Blubaugh took any course that interested him, from computers and economics to general education courses, such as English 101 and higherlevel mathematics courses. “We live in a very small school district,” said Elizabeth Blubaugh, Morgan’s mother. “We realize that the high school is unable to meet everyone’s needs. This was the most viable and extraordinary option available to us without sending Morgan to a prep school. At minimal cost, Morgan was able to excel in his studies.” Not only has Blubaugh received college credit for the courses he has taken, but an arrangement was worked out with Rappahannock County High School to allow his college courses to double as high school credits. “The high school was Morgan Blubaugh very helpful,” Mrs. Blubaugh said. “They made the agreement possible.” Blubaugh’s dedication to his education helped him become a part of the Society of Yeager Scholars, the only scholarship at Marshall University that requires students to compete against one another in an application and then interview process. Named for U.S. Air Force Brigadier General (Ret.) Charles E. “Chuck” Yeager, scholarship recipients .must maintain a rigorous course load and a 3.5 grade point average and participate voluntarily in campus activities. Only a handful of students are selected each year to receive the four-year scholarship that includes full tuition and fees; full room and board; study at Oxford University;, a stipend for textbooks and supplies; $4,000 for an additional study abroad experience; and the use of a personal computer while enrolled in the program. According to Marshall University’s scholarship guidelines, “The Yeager Scholars Program is designed to give outstanding students enriched opportunities to further develop their skills and abilities.” Blubaugh is excited about the scholarship award and his acceptance to Marshall University, where he plans to pursue a degree that combines his interests in economics management and information technology- gyHe is also glad for the chance to attend LFCC. “I have already experienced a college atmosphere, where professors rely on you more heavily than in high school,” Blubaugh said. “It was a great opportunity and will help me transition to Marshall.” Founded in 1970, Lord Fairfax Community College is a comprehensive, nonresidential, two-year public institution of higher education with campuses in Middletown and Fauquier and outreach sites throughout the College’s service region. The service region includes the counties of Clarke, Fauquier, Frederick, Page, Rappahannock, Shenandoah, and Warren and the city of Winchester. LFCC offers more than 75 degree and certificate programs in a wide variety of disciplines, in addition to workforce preparation programs for employees and employers. As one of the fastest growing community colleges of its size in the country, LFCC serves over 7,500 credit students and more than 6,000 open enrollment and contract course students annually. The College operates as part of the Virginia Community College System and is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

The term GB. and the symbol are used by Real Estate Professionals who have voluntarily joined the local State and National Associations of Realtors. In order to use the symbol you have to be a member in good standing with the various associations and what is more important, by joining these associations the Realtor associate agrees to adhete to a strict code of conduct and code of ethics. This has to do with the way Realtors treat each other as well as the public at large. Those who have the LJ| symbol in front of their logo or name have to meet a higher standard then those who do not. 1 wonder sometimes if it wouldn’t be good for all of us who have the right to use the symbol to reflect upon what it means and not just take it for granted. Ask your realtor for a copy of the code of ethics and see for yourself what those standards are. If you are thinking of buying or selling, give me a call.

Here Comes the Sun If you’re like me, you remember fondly the endless summers of your youth: lying in the sand, swimming in the lake or ocean all day with the warm sun shining down. Remember that nice, bronze glow and the occasional pinkish or red bum? Those bums of our childhood, we know now, can lead to the skin cancer of our adulthood. We know so much more now about the sun’s power than we did a decade or two ago. Today, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States; indeed, it is the fastest growing cancer, affecting more than 1 million people each year. One person, dies every hour from melanoma, the deadliest form of the disease. The American Cancer Society estimates that in the Commonwealth of Virginia, there will be an estimated 1610 new cases of melanoma of the skin this year. And, the fact is, many of these cancers could be preverited. Of course, we know now that we should protect our skin from the sun by using sunscreen — SPF 15 or higher — and wearing protective clothing, a hat, lip protection and sunglasses! And, we need to protect our skin in all weather — not just the sunny summertime, as many a snow skier will tell you. Perhaps our greatest opportunity for changing skin cancer statistics rests with our children. Although most skin cancers are diagnosed when people are older than 50, the damage that causes skin cancer is done at an early age. Just one blistering sunburn can double a child’s lifetime risk of developing skin cancer. If you are a caregiver, remember to help those young people r Fiesta del Pueblo The Hispanic Committee of Culpeper will host Fiesta del Pueblo, a town party, at the downtown train depot on Friday, May 6th from - 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. All Culpeper residents and neighbors are invited to come enjoy a taste of Latin culture, from music and dance to food. Human service agencies will be represented at the festival, providing information in English and Spanish about the services that they have to offer. Families will have access to information about schools, health, WIC, financial support, domestic violence, mental health, social services, and many others. The Mexican Consulate will be there to answer questions about obtaining an ED. May 6 will be a fun day for all, with various types of Latin music filling the streets of Culpeper all afternoon. For those who have never danced to merengue, salsa, or bachata, this will be an ideal opportunity to come and see how it is done. Hispanic crafters will be available, selling their wares. There will be a variety of foods for purchase, both Hispanic and American. The Fiesta will be a great day for children! There will be pi)>2atas, games, face-painting, stories, and other activities. There will also be plenty of bilingual volunteers available to interpret for both Hispanic and American guests. All families in Culpeper and the surrounding area should keep the date open and plan to visit and participate in Fiesta del Pueblo. Bring your own chair and enjoy the day! It is the first of many downtown Culpeper parties this summer. Come see why Culpeper was voted one of the Tbp Ten Small Towns in Virginia! learn to protect their skin. Tfeenagers should be warned of the dangers of tanning beds and reminded that there* are safer alternatives — such as sunless tanning products and bronzers — if they want that suntanned look for prom. Examine your skin and your loved ones’ skin frequently. Look for: • orown or black irregularly pigmented spots with uneven margins; • a slow-growing, raised, translucent, pearly nodule that may crust, ulcerate or bleed; • a change in sensation, itchiness, tenderness or pain from a mole; a small, smooth, shiny, pale or waxy lump on the skin; and • any new mole. Remember the ABCD rule: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color that is not uniform and Diameter greater than 6 millimeters — about the size of a pencil eraser. If you discover a suspicious growth while conducting skin, examinations, have it checked by your health care professional. The fact is: your risk of developing skin cancer in creases as you age. Annual clinical exams are even more important after you reach age 50. James Spencer, MD, cochair of the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention and vice chair of Dermatology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, offers the following advice: “By creating awareness of sun safety and skin cancer prevention early, parents can truly make a difference. If sun protection becomes a habit early on, years of sun damage can be avoided, significantly reducing skin cancer risk.” May is Melanoma Month May is Melanoma Month — a good time to start a good habit for a lifetime of healthy skin. Whether your family is going for a weekend in Virginia Beach, hiking in the Blue Ridge or an afternoon trip to the neighborhood park; by all means, enjoy the sun. But have a healthy regard for its strength and protect yourself and your family. Sim safety should not be neglected by anyone. If we all take responsibility for ourselves and our children, we can change skin cancer from being the fastest growing cancer to one that is rare in future generations.

Southard, Jr. of the Warrenton Police Department, Robert Eugene Rector, 36, of Amissville was arrested on federal indictment April 18, charged with conspiracy to distrubute cocaine.

After radioing ahead, a Virginia State Police trooper in Page County was able to stop seven of the riders, giving all traffic citations. Inspiring, Ttwiigiite by Randy Minter LIFE LESSONS Parents are often reluctant to discuss the topic of death with their children. If they are looking for ways to broach the subject, however, there are many opportunities to talk about death as a part of life. For instance, parents can discuss the dying blooms on a rose bush as a means of teaching lessons about life and death. The changing seasons and the death of a pet also provide examples of death being part of life. In addition, visiting aging relatives and friends shows children that aging is a natural part of life, if not always pleasant. Each of these situations provides children with the opportunity to discuss death with their parents and learn not to fear it. Talking about death is challenging because we don't understand it and often lack the words to come to terms with it. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we owe it to our children to help them through a time of loss by providing simple words that convey what is happening and that sadness and other feelings are understandable. We are at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton. Call us at 347-3431. "1 will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.. When the fear is gone, there will he nothing.
