Rappahannock News, May 19, 2005

No. 20 Phone (540)675-3338 THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005 Worldwide at timescommunity.com 50 CENTS Motorized wheelchair would give freedom to Flint Hill resident By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer For a young girl who has gone farther than her doctors ever imagined, there is one thing that would give her freedom—a motorized wheelchair. Sidney Dodson was bom on May 8, 1999 with cerebral palsy and now, at age six, she is at the mercy of others to push her in the wheelchair that gets her where she wants to go. However, Sidney recently tried a new gadget that gave her incredible freedom to go where she wants. All she has to do is lean her head back against a sensor on a wheelchair, and she takes off, going forward. Atilt of the head and she turns left, tilt the opposite direction and she is going right. “The only thing she needs to master is how to stop,” laughed Sidney’s father, Greg Dodson. Success in Poland Sidney is able to do all of this because of a trip she took last year to Poland, affording her extensive therapy that strengthened her neck and upper body muscles. In fact, her parents, Greg and Shelly would like to take her back to Poland as soon as they have the funds to make the trip. “I go to Poland, I live there,” is the plea Sidney makes to her parents after realizing how much stronger she is now. According to Greg and Shelly, who made the trip to Poland with Sidney, it takes approximately seven or eight trips to the Euromed Rehabilitation Program before patients are ready to take their first step. The program offers a strict regiment of exercises, aimed at toning each and every muscle in the body. However, until the time comes when Sidney is ready to take her first step, she will need to use a wheelchair. Sidney has told her parents that one day she will walk, because she believes in herself. “When we saw the look on that kid’s face,” Greg said after Sidney’s ‘powerwheel tryouf, “It was like seeing her walk for the first time.” The Dodsons are negotiating with their insurance company now, attempting to have the $23,000 chair paid for, but so far only 50-percent will be covered. For Greg, it is more devastating as he faces the loss of his employment as a farm worker next month—the farm where he is currently employed is being sold. He has also gotten the news that he, himself is in need of back surgery for a herniated disc. “Shelly is working all the time right now,” Greg said, speaking of his wife’s gardening job with Candace Clough, a Rappahannock landscape gardener. “We just want to thank the community from our hearts for what everyone See DODSON, Page A3 HOPEFUL SMILE: Sidney Dodson, 6, of Flint Hill is all smiles in hopes of getting a motorized wheelchair.

From left Jacob Racer, DC United player Mike Petke’s mother, Camille Racer, DC United player Brian Carroll’s mother, and Jason Racer. i r r By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer When Camille Racer became a mother, she was not aware of everything that she will end up doing, or the honors that would be bestowed upon her as her children grew. On Mother’s Day, May 8, Racer found herself in a place of honor as a “soccer mom” in the middle of a soccer field during a DC United game halftime. The honor was a result of a letter, written by her son Jacob Racer, a seventh-grader at Rappahannock County Elementary School in response to a contest hosted by 94.7 FM WARW Classic Rock out of Rockville, Maryland. Racer had planned to take her own mother out to dinner on Saturday evening for Mother’s Day, but when her husband, Jim, heard of the plans, he told her she would really need to go to the DC United game instead.

Two years ago, owner Rae Ross of Sperryville sold the business to Sunnyside’s Famous Rest Stop in the r old Sperryville Schoolhouse. While there will no longer be a “Rae’s Place,” Sunnyside Market will be selling deli sandwiches and expanding to sell pizza in the near future, according to Ross, who is employed by Sunnyside Market in administration. “I will still be servicing the county,” Ross said, “just in a different way.” 1 Re-enactor ranger Dave Goetz, an accomplished “re-enactor” pictured here as Col.

Box 59, Washington, Virginia 22747 --j Town issues addressed By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer With the revision of the Comprehensive Plan on the horizon for the Town of Washington, members of Town Council have become aware of the threat of growth with the current plan in effect. Therefore, discussion was considerable when the agenda for this month’s meeting required consideration for Pleasant View of Rappahannock, LLC Subdivision, continued from December 8, 2004. The property, owned by Jimmy and Beth DeBergh of Washington, was first brought before council, requesting an extension of Wheeler Street for the subdivision entrance. A portion of the property lies within the town’s limits, with a greater portion of the boundary falling in Rappahannock County. Thus, County Administrator John McCarthy was an invited guest, appearing with Town Council to respond to any questions that might arise. According to Mike Brown, attorney for the DeBergh’s, there has been a revision to the original plat, basically cleaning up the lot lines, as well as road and “other technical issues,” including keeping Gay Street and Wheeler Street in accordance with the grid structure of the town. Having met previously with Brown and reviewed the new plat, McCarthy advised council that the plan does “meet all of the condition of the county’s subdivision ordinance.” In the updated plat, two of the lots will lie completely within the county, Lots 2 and 4, while Lots 1 and 3 lie partially within the town and partially in the county. According to Brown, Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has stated that a right-of-way can be issued on Lot 3, providing a private road into the subdivision. This road will not be built or maintained by VDOT, but will need to conform to regulations set by VDOT. Brown advised that he would speak with the DeBerghs and request that they agree to build the road Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jeanne Spath SOUND ADVICE: John McCarthy, County Administrator for Rappahannock County explained subdivision ordinances within the county while Town Attorney John Bennett and Washington’s vice-mayor Reinhardt Lynch look at the Pleasant View Acres subdivision plat.

Town of Washington Mayor Eugene Leggett said to members of the Planning Commission present in the audience, “I don’t see how you can recommend approval of this with so many questions.” To that McCarthy responded, “A recommendation would be possible of the pending issues are resolved prior to that meeting.” Therefore, the matter of approving Lots 1 and 3 will come before the Town’s Planning Commission in its May 23 meeting, following a unanimous vote by council to proceed there. Special use permit Council heard a request from Eddie Fletcher, Facilities Manager of the Inn at Little Washington to convert existing retail space at 371 Main Street, the former Rare Finds building, into overnight accommodations. The right side of the building would service one guest, according to Fletcher, with the left side being a guest commons area. McCarthy advised that the venture does meet with all zoning requirements of the county, including the parking arrangement, which allows for three spaces behind the building.

Included in the draft budget is the proposed sale of Avon Hall in Washington. The estimated proceed of that sale is shown as $2,145,250. Numerous questions were asked concerning the budget by town resident Diane Bruce, including the date that the $500,000 loan for the Avon Hall property is due to be paid in full. Council member and treasurer, Jerry Goebel advised that the loan is due to be paid by April, 2006. Council also budgeted $31,500 for repairs of water damage at Avon Hall. Those repairs have not been done at this time, awaiting a contractor to give an estimate based upon the adjustment made by the town’s insurance carrier. While the town has proposed sale of Avon Hall, Leggett advised council later during the meeting that Herb White of WW Associates is having a survey done of the property to see if it is suitable for the town’s proposed wastewater treatment facility. According to Leggett, the town is planning to install an above-ground treatment center similar to the wastewater treatment facility in Sperryville. The budget is scheduled to See MEETING, Page A7 Correction In the May 12 edition of the Rappahannock News on page All, Courts & Police Briefs, Robert Rish’s case was heard by the Honorable Jeffrey Parker who is the judge of the Rappahannock County Circuit Court.

Living history5 to be featured at Historical Society benefit By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News A number of historically fascinating people and events will be re-enacted at the benefit tour and buffet sponsored by the Rappahannock Historical Society at Jessamine ffill Farm on Saturday, May Rudy and Judy Segaar will set up and display a Confederate soldier’s camp. There will also be a presentation by Susan Williams on the many roles of women during the Civil War, including the causes of the war, examples of fashions of the times, women spies and soldiers, and life on the home front. Kyle Printz, David Reeves, and David Williams, members of Carpenter’s Battery of Artillery, will be on hand to display guns, sabers and a cannon. Other living history participants are expected to portray and discuss the various aspects of Civil War history. And for most of us who are fascinated by the tales of Col. John Mosby, there will be a “live” appearance by Dave Goetz, a living historian and a student of the famous Southern partisan ranger who was active in Rappahannock County in the Civil War. All these interesting historical windows will be opened for guests at the Historical Society’s benefit. Tickets for the event, which takes place on Saturday, May 21 from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m., are available for $20 at the Rappahannock’ Historical Society’s offices at 328 Gay Street, Washington, VA 22747, or by calling (540) 675-1163. Soccer From Page A1 Then the telephone call from the radio station came, congratulating her for being one of 11 mothers who would be honored. Once she arrived a the field, she realized that she was the grand prize winner, receiving a trip to a day spa. She was not the only winner that day as Jacob received a scholarship to attend a DC United summer soccer camp. “It was really great fun,” Racer said, “and really great for my son to do something like that—it makes all I have done worthwhile to know that is how he feels.” Jacob explained in the letter to WARW that there is no parks and recreation department in Rappahannock County, and that the soccer program is run completely by volunteers, of which Racer is a part. “For the other kids in the county, Mom goes to soccer meetings every month, helps organize fundraisers, camps and also, she has mowed the field more than once when the school japitor forgets we have a game,” Jacob wrote. Embarrassed by all of the attention, Racer responded, “There are so many more moms that do as much as I do in Rappahannock. In bigger places it is not so easy to be a part of everything, but as small as Rappahannock is, it is not hard to. be involved in the framework here.” While Jacob is involved in the Rappahannock County Soccer Association (RCSA) U14 team and also the junior varsity team at Rappahannock County High School, that is not all that keeps Racer busy. She is also the coach of Jacob’s younger brother, Joshua who plays on the RCSA U6 team. Racer took the opportunity of meeting the DC United team and had them sign two jerseys for her. One will be framed with the letter written by her son. The other has been donated to Shay Bell, the coach of the boys’ varsity soccer team at Rappahannock County High School as an award for the “Super Camper” in the coach’s summer camp, June 27 - July 1. “I remember one of the • Athletic Directors that used to be in Rappahannock had a motto, ‘Find a way or make a way.’ I guess that is what I am doing for soccer in this county,” Racer said.

Sidney has also undergone two surgeries to fuse the Cl and C2 vertebrae in her neck. “It was the good luck of the Irish,” Greg laughed, “She had her first surgery on March 17, 2004 and this year, on March 17 she got her halo off.” Now, Sidney has screws in her neck to support the vertebrae.

Because of those struggles, the Dodson’s want to be able to offer medical equipment that Sidney outgrows to other children who may need it in the future. “There are two other children in Rappahannock with disabilities, and we pray for them each and every day,” Greg said, adding, “It’s not the disability these lads have, it’s the ability they all have that we need to see.” Donations Anyone wishing to make donations to help Sidney can send a tax-deductible contribution to the Sidney Dodson Cerebral Palsy Fund at Post Office Box 343, Flint Hill, Va., 22627 or an anonymous donation may be sent to the Sidney Dodson Cerebral Palsy Fund c/o the Rappahannock National Bank, Post Office Box 179, Washington, Va., 22747. 1,500 4,600 sa ft.

For more than a decade, Rae has been serving the resi; dents of Rappahannock in one place or another— ; moving as has been necessary to accommodate dif! ferent spaces and different markets but always ; with the same spirit of service and gentle charm. ! While many in the RappNet community are up i in arms and some have even suggested rallying in . • her defense, it’s tough for small businesses to sur, vive in any market these days. It’s a sad but all too I true scenario. ? Unfortunately, the concern over Rae has spilled '! over into angst against Sunnyside Market as the ! big bully who has come to squash the little guy. ; When Wal-Mart moved into Warrenton, the furor J was much the same. People rallied, folks spoke out ! at public hearings and many threatened to boycott the national chain and force it out of Fauquier. ' That didn’t happen. ; Instead, Wal-Mart came and now a Home Depot • is planned to open in November. ; Some small businesses did, in fact, end up clos» ing because of the competition that Wal-Mart ! brought. ; On the other hand, Wal-Mart, in many ways, I has proved itself to be a good neighbor—contributI ing to the local schools in various ways, honoring local teachers and providing many with much 1 needed employment. Cars have actually been spotted in the parking lot with No Wal-Mart bumper stickers. The occupants are inside shopping. What will be missed more than Rae and her place is a sense of belonging and a comfort level that many fear will be lost. It’s that hard to define feeling of a sense of security in your place that you have a cup of coffee and a good sandwich and a good conversation that grounds you and makes you feel that all is right with the world. What made Rae’s Place so wonderful was Rae herself and she remains with the community and is shifting with its tides and finding a new rhythm. The residents will need to do the same. Letters Rae s Deli will be remembered fondly It is sad but true that Rae s Deli is now a thing of the past. Many residents are unaware that this bright, sunshine filled restaurant, which was once the Sperryville School cafeteria, was the sixth brilliant business venture during a 30-year period of someone who has made her mark in this county as Rappahannock’s very first local health food/organic food entrepreneur. Rae Gaedke, Jr. who sold Rae s Deli to Sunnyside Farms owner, David Cole, almost two years ago, maintained her positive influence over Rae’s Deli, as an employee of Sunnyside Farms Sperryville site. As manager, she has tackled a vision to create “Sunnyside Farms Famous Rest Stop” without looking back. In joining hands with David Cole, the community watched and waited to see that Rae was treated with the dignity she deserved for being the fine person and businesswoman she has proven herself to be for the last thirty years. This most certainly has been the case. The charm that the community has loved about Rae Gaedke, Jr. is that through all the changes in her life and the changes that have come to Rappahannock she has always been able to keep her smile and positive attitude alive for her customers through each challenging business transformation. Over the years she was truly a ray of sunshine for many. Although her position currently keeps her in the office area of Sunnyside these days, her spark for keeping up the spirits of her staff is still aglow. Rae deserves our highest regard as a community leader, a friend to many and the ideal businesswoman who knows See DELI, Page A6 Mary Beth Williams fundraiser a success On behalf of the Mary Beth Williams Memorial Foundation, I thank Jeannie and Dick McNear for their continuing generosity in hosting this year’s event. We also want to acknowledge the many donations that have been received. The Mary Beth Williams Memorial Fund consists of a special account administered by the Rappahannock 4-H Livestock Club. The Rappahannock 4-H Livestock Club is a charitable, nonprofit organization affiliated with the Virginia Cooperative Extension. Mary Beth Williams was a vibrant, personable teenager with a strong interest in agriculture. With her legacy in mind, the memorial fund was established in 1997 for the purpose of funding scholarships for higher education, camp attendance and other activities. This year’s fundraiser generated receipts of $4,950.00 We look forward to funding additional scholarships for the benefit of Rappahannock’s youth. Douglas K. Baumgardner Washington Psychologist praises candor and courage My good friend and former patient, Ginny Hughes, said some very kind words about me in last week’s edition for which I am most appreciative. However, I am wondering if any reader took special note of the bombshell she dropped at the end of her letter. In a most courageous move, she acknowledged publicly before the thousands of this newspaper readers that she is a recovering alcoholic. “Bombshell” because it is extremely rare for those who are recovering from the disease of addiction to admit it, especially publicly, and “courageous” because Ginny is acutely aware of the nega tive attitude taken by large segments of the population toward alcoholism in general. Ginny has done this community a tremendous favor. In one bold stroke, she has caused readers to pause and to think and has helped to further bring the topic of alcoholism out of the dark ages J) that period of time when all alcoholics were seen as derelicts with brown paper bags sleeping under bridges and who could easily stop drinking if they wished. Ginny is a productive member of society. She is married to a loving husband, has two wonderful sons, and for a long period of time has held down a responsible job. The fact that she is recovering from this disorder of addiction is no more a stigma than if she were to be recovering from diabetes or any other chronic disease. There can no longer be any doubt but that addiction is, indeed, a disease. This has been confirmed again and again by the National Health and Human Services, the National Institute of Drug Abuse, and by scores of laboratories in universities ; cross the nation. People often suffer from diabetes, cancer, cardiac or respiratory problems, in addition to other disorders because their genes make them susceptible. The same with addiction. It often runs in families due to a genetic pre-disposition. Ginny, in working with you, I helped to bring one individual back to health. But you with your newly obtained strength and wisdom have given courage to innumerable sufferers in this community who may now— following in your footsteps— take those first steps toward recovery. God bless you for lighting a candle in an area of darkness. Dr. Robert B. Iadeluca Warrenton Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News fAO YEARS AGO May 20,1965 j Cmdr. Irving O.

The wave of the future may be the past John Toler Rappahannock News Staff Writer The importance of preserving a community’s “sense of place” and the ways to accomplish this worthy goal were the central themes of Edward T. McMahon’s presentation at the Rice Theater at Highland School’s Center for the Arts on May 11. “If you don’t know where you are, you don’t know who you are,” said McMahon, referring to the increasing homogenization of American townscapes and residential subdivisions. “There is a connection between the people and the land ... a sense of place is what makes us different, and what makes our surroundings worth caring about.” McMahon, a resident of Takoma Park, Md., and Senior Fellow at the Urban Land Institute, spoke on the “Dollars and Sense of Preserving Character” to a receptive and appreciative audience. Development is not “an either-or thing,” McMahon said. He believes that progress “growth” does not’demand our surroundings be degraded. However, this requires a jurisdiction to have a long-range conservation plan, and also requires that development takes place in areas where it makes sense. Realizing that growth will occur, but that the impacts will be predictable, is an important element in getting people to work together, McMahon went on. “If people think that all the land is up for grabs, they will oppose everything that comes along,” he said. Residential development The “how” of development is as important as the “where.” McMahon presented a series of slides showing thoughtful residential development—where trees are spared or replaced, and asphalt used sparingly—and asked audience members where they would prefer to live. Surprisingly, the most attractive projects—with narrower streets, varying architecture and, of course, trees— were also the most affordable and safe for their residents. “According to a survey by the National Association of Realtors, the surrounding environment is the most important factor affecting market value for a house,” said McMahon. In addressing issues affecting the Piedmont, McMahon was critical of the “golf course communities” and large-lot subdivisions being built. He noted that many of the golf course communities— with homes clustered on small lots along the course—had failed nationally, since very few residents played golf and supported the clubs. As a result, some courses are being converted back to open space for wildlife and outdoor enjoyment. Locally, the large-lot subdivision is laying the groundwork for future problems, according to McMahon. “All that large-lot subdivisions do is increase the rate at which land is consumed,” he said. “About 20 percent of the lots are consuming 80 percent of the land.” When surveyed, more than 70 percent of the people considering moving into an area preferred “living in a nice neighborhood” to having a large lot around their house. As an example, McMahon described the development of a 200-acre farm. Under the first scenario, the farm was divided into 200 one-acre lots, scattered throughout the property and connected by a network of roads. The second scenario— clearly better for a variety of reasons—showed the same lands divided into 200 halfacre lots, with the homes clustered in several “neighborhoods,” and the remaining 100 acres kept in open space. Value what is ‘old’ “The image of a community is fundamental to its vitality and quality of life,” said McMahon. “The more Warrenton becomes like everywhere else, the less reason people have to come here.” Older towns like Warrenton have an added advantage. “Historic preservation saves the heart and soul of a community, linking people to their past,” he said. Noting the importance of tourism—already the biggest industry in 37 of the 50 Edward T. McMahon 66 When we lose our past, we lose our sense of identity, our well-being, our sense of security and our cultural continuity. Edward T. McMahon states—McMahon told the gathering, “You’ve got to protect what is unique about your community; that’s your competitive edge.” Using a series of slides, he showed before-and-after views of towns that had decided to preserve and re-use their unique, old structures, saving downtown areas and reversing blight. After years of decline, many cities are reusing structures, often converting vacant warehouses and factories to apartments and condominiums. “Housing in downtown areas is the hottest real estate now,” he said. Over thd past several years, Warrenton builder Malcolm Alls has bought and renovated a number of old structures in the county, which he either improves or rebuilds and converts to other uses. His crews are currently working on five single-family homes on East Shirley Avenue that he purchased in need of repair, and which will become rental properties when completed. Alls said, “When you preserve something from the past, it is a yardstick for what you do in the future.” ‘Just ask for it* While most towns want new commercial development, they should not settle for structures that don’t enhance the existing townscape. “Sameness is not a plus, it’s a minus,” McMahon remarked. “Don’t accept corporate cookie-cutter design ... insist on something that fits into your community.” Again using slides, McMahon showed several examples of McDonald’s restaurants that were customdesigned to fit into existing streetscapes in New England, the South and Midwest. “Most corporations will do what is required to get into a good market,” he advised. “Just ask for it!” The same is true when an existing structure is up for SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE 1 Spring Special...

One way local officials can get what they want from developers is what McMahon calls “leverage” through “voluntary compliance-mandatory review.” He cited an example where owners of a fast-food restaurant were willing to alter the design of their building— which they didn’t have to do— when they had to get a special exception from the town for a drive-through window. For the future According to McMahon, the day of the commercial strip mall “with its undisguised ugliness and traffic congestion” is near its end. According to McMahon, more than 3,000 strip malls in the U.S. are vacant today. “The future belongs to town centers and Main streets,” said McMahon. “These are places that attract peoples’ affection and encourage them to stay longer and spend money.” One important aspect of both is the availability of mixed uses: having retail stores on the ground level and residential units above. He pointed to Arlington as an example of a community that has worked successfully over the past 30 years to create a vital, attractive town center—and prospered accordingly. According to McMahon, when a town decides it wants to improve its surroundings or make improvements, it should start with two questions. “The first question is, ‘What should we do?’ The second question should be, ‘How much is this going to cost?’ When there is a will and a vision, money can be found for most projects.” In closing, McMahon urged those present to participate in efforts to preserve the uniqueness of their communities—for spiritual as well as aesthetic and financial reasons. “When we lose our past, we lose our sense of identity, our well-being, our sense of security and our cultural continuity,” he said. “Get involved, and talk with people who might disagree with you—and listen to them.” Fri.

School News Photograph Courtesy of Ron Vickers State Champions: (from left to right) Kevin Martin, Tristan Sonnet, Anna Owens and Larry Oliver with their first place trophy in Geospatial Technologies. RCHS students attend TSA competition By Layne and Ron Vickers The middle and high school chapters of the Technology Student Association attended their 2005 state competition, called Technospherc, April 29 to May 1 in Hampton, Va. Many of the students came back as state finalists or with state trophies. The weekend consisted of last minute preparations, written tests and reports, oral competitions, and on site problem solving. Tyler Crews, Morgan Cloud, Brittani Dodson, and Joe Vickers represented the middle school chapter. The high school chapter was represented by Morgan Blubaugh, Ellie Dodd-Henze, Tom Gillis, Anna Kreyling, Kevin Martin, Larry Oliver, Anna Owens, Emily Raney, Megan Smith, Tristan Sonnett, Jacob Stilley, Jenny .Ferdatta, and Clay r Vickers. The students were accompanied by their advisers Ron and Layne Vickers. Geospatial Technologies is a pilot class for the state of Virginia and RCHS is one of eight schools in the state to pilot the class. The competition in Geospatial technologies at Technosphere was an inaugural competition and students from RCHS were the first ever state champions. “This is a major accomplishment for thio team. These students have only been learning to use ESRI’s software since late January. All of the other schools in the pilot are not on semester block schedule and their students have had class since late August,” said Ron Vickers. The team had to submit a notebook of data files collected for the Hampton area to take with them. They did not know the on-site live program until the stated contest time. Not all four of the team members were able to stay Piedmont Small Farm Festival May 21, 2005 10a.m.-5p.m. Saturday Archwood Green Baras The Plains, VA (1-66 to Exit 31 The Plains, VA North on Rt. 245', entrance on right) Admission: Free Local Producers, Breeders and Gardening Experts A variety of farm products, plants, and animals will be available for purchase.

Both Larry Oliver and Kevin Martin were also competing in the Systems Control (lego) contest. They were the regional winners and this was their main focus. Tristan Sonnet and Anna Owens stayed on task and gained valuable confidence building in their efforts. Anna reported that, “Once we got there, we were presented with a problem of congested traffic flow around the Holiday Inn. We were told to create new maps that showed our suggestions as to how to solve it.” Kreyling also said, “This event was harder because it asked for a lot of information. Being the first year we did not feel as prepared as we would have liked to have been.” Tristan and Anna actually left the contest room to take GPS points with a Garmin eTrex Venture hand held device. Tristan said, “I was worried about getting shocked because I wanted a GPS point and inch away from a 400,000 volt electric fence.” Once the points were taken the students downloaded the into a lap top and used ESRI’s Arcmap version 9 software to create maps. Tyler Crews stated, “TSA is a team effort. I learned that because two of our members couldn’t come I couldn’t compete in some of the events we had hoped to. TSA may seem geeky at times, but you get to travel around and meet new kids from other schools. Seeing new places, the independence, and meeting new people—its awesome.” According to Kevin Martin, “This was my first TSA State competition and I am glad I went.” Emily Raney said, “I would have liked to stay there longer.

Wakefield Country Day School SENIOR NIGHT OUT On Thursday evening, the WCDS seniors were treated to an evening of dining and theatre, hosted by Head of School Kathleen Grove and her husband, Larry. The thirteen seniors traveled to Wayside Theater, to see The History of the United States, Abridged, after dining at The Irish Isle. PROM NIGHT On Saturday, WCDS students in grades nine through twelve gathered at The Flint Hill Public House to celebrate Prom Night 2005. This year’s theme was “A Red Carpet Affair,” with music provided by Jake Ritchie’s “Dream Day DJ’s.” SPRING CLEAN UP Parents and students joined together on Sunday to help spruce up the grounds at WCDS as part of “Spring Clean-Up,” spending the bulk of their time on the Senior Garden, in preparation lor the June 5th Graduation Ceremony. Hearthstone School. Gardening teachers, Wendi Sirat and Pine Phillips, have been working with Hearthstone’s high school students to create a nature trail along the river. They have carefully cleared growth an<f have mulched a path that continues the length of the property to the point where it adjoins the Shenandoah National Park. They have begun to plant medicinal native plants along the edges that include wild yam, ginger, black cohosh, and bloodroot. Art teacher, Davette Leonard, received a grant that is allowing the students to paint pictures of the local plant life. Students will include the medicinal plants, as well, as they look toward using their paintings to design a kiosk at the school to be enjoyed by the community and tourists that pass by on their way to the Park. Deli From Page A4 how to serve her community with dignity and integrity. Many of us who have lived here long enough to remember her first business, the Rush River Health Food Cooperative in 1975 in what is now Sunnyside Market in Washington, recall mornings chatting over cups of coffee with that “general store” atmosphere where people congregated for conversation. As her business expanded she moved to what is now the Ice House in Washington in 1978, calling her very own health food business “Nature’s Foods”. In 1980 she again expanded into what is now Washington’s post office/cafe building under the name “Nature’s Foods and Cafe” where not only good food was served and sold but local live music was played. , Get A Head Start'on Spring Projects!

Here, her business thrived as the only local source of organic health food and supplements until she and her second husband, Brian Ross, built and developed Mountainside Market’s second site, moving the business to Sperryville on Rte. 211 in 1992.

Owls knocked out of Delaney tourney By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Although the Wakefield Country Day School Owls downed Mt. Carmel in girls’ soccer on May 12, 11-1, postseason play was not as good for the Owls. WCDS was knocked out of the Delaney Athletic Conference tournament on May 10 by Wakefield School, 1-0. “Both teams played extremely hard and well,” said the Owls’ Athletic Director, Mike Kenney, “the defense was dominating for both sides.” The Wakefield School goal came about 25 minutes into the first half when the WCDS goalie was shielded by her own teammates. The second half brought good scoring opportunities for WCDS, but the goals were not there. “They were extremely big, physical and fast and it prevented us from getting anything easy,” Kenney continued. WCDS’ aggressive defense held the Wakefield Owls back, physically and emotionally draining the Wakefield Country Day School girls. “Somebody had to lose, and unfortunately, it was us,” Kenney said. The WCDS Owls finished the season 10-5-2. Sanchez named DAC coach of the year The Delaney Athletic All-Conference girls’ soccer team was named, honoring several Wakefield Country Day School players and its coach. Wakefield Country Day School head coach Gali Sanchez was named the DAC Coach of the Year. Jordan Hammelman was named to the first team defense while her sister, Caitlin Hammelman was named to the first team offense. Allison Russo was named to the second team midfield as well as Aubree Parker iii goalie position. Rachel Marx received honorable mention for her midfield play.

The Panthers came out early, making the first goal, which was answered quickly by the Mountaineers. A foul on the Mountaineers against Rapp’s Alex Ramey in the box resulted in a penalty kick, which Rapp’s Dos Allen capitalized upon, earning the goal for the 2-1 lead. With only four minutes left, Madison took the defensive shot from the 18-yard line. “Will Sonnett had it covered, but it hit a clump of grass and took a Madison bound and went into the goal,” said Rapp coach, Shay Bell. After two overtime periods, the game ended in a 2-2 tie. Rappahannock News Photo/Ann Spieker PENALTY KICK: Rapp’s Dos Allen capitalizes on a penalty kick to edge past the Madison Mountaineers.

Rapp girls soccer drops two By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County High School girls soccer team remains competitive, despite falling to Clarke County, 8-0 and Madison County, 3-1. On May 6, the Panthers traveled to face an undefeated Eagle team at Wilbur M. Feltner Stadium. “They are killers,” remarked Panther coach J. C. Maldonando of the Eagle team, “Out of 30 players on r the team, 30 are good, really good.” Clarke’s Danielle Moyer had the hat trick, while Taylor Warner and Keely McCall each scored two goals. The Eagles’ Leslie Hardesty added one for the win. On May 10, Rapp was in the lead going into halftime with a goal scored by Camilla Holte. “She doesn’t give up,” Maldonando said. However, the level of intensity decreased for the Panthers in the second half, giving up three goalfc for the Mountaineer win. “We ran out of steam,” Maldanano said, “We did not have any defensive subs and only three offensive.” As the season comes to a close, Maldonando remains upbeat of the team’s progress, “They are getting in better soccer condition.” Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers.com. l Jenkins pulls in win for Rapp baseball Jason Jenkins pulled in the 4-0 win for district win record to 6-2.

L Meeting From Page A2 come before Town Council for a vote of adoption at its next scheduled meeting on June i5. Town updates In additional updates for the town, Leggett advised that WW Associates will be contacting a geo-technical firm to do soil evaluations to relocate the current town’s water reservoir. According to Leggett, White suggested that the reservoir be located in solid soil, not compacted and the move would only be approximately 10-feet from the current location. In other actions by council, a roll call vote found Charlie Kevis reappointed to the Architectural Review Board for the Town of Washington. Kevis’ past appointment expired one and one-half months ago. With the reassignment, Kevis’ present term of office will continue until March, 2009. Councilwoman Claudia Mitchell advised that the town’s Website should be available for viewing within approximately two weeks, once all of the updates have been approved by council members. In further actions made by council, a unanimous roll call vote appointed the town’s clerk, Laura Dodd to purchase an air conditioning system for Town Hall from Air Concepts for no more than $3,700. Also, Planning Commissioner Gary Schwartz reported that the commission would like to invite Milt Herd of Herd Planning & Design, Ltd. to conduct at two more joint Planning J Commission and Town Council meetings to provide further recommendations for the town’s revised Comprehensive Plan. He also suggested that Herd be employed for one more public forum, as well. Council voted unanimously in a roll call vote to employ Herd for no more than an additional $4,800 for his services in this capacity. Councilwoman Alice Butler asked that council consider hiring someone to mow along the sides of all of the entrance roads into Washington, saying, “I think the streets look terrible and we owe it to the citizens and tourists to keep it looking neat.” Council agreed that Butler and Dodd could find someone to do the proposed mowing.

Well Hope Up — Things Remembered 1 look at the title of this piece, Well Hope Up, and wonder, is anyone going to have a clue what I’m writing about? Well, I can only hope so. Welcome to reader participation week for the Flint Hill column. My mother had an expression she used when somebody or something was in a very pleasant or desirable position. For instance, if it was cold or windy or snowy outside, and Tom, our cat, had been curled up behind the wood ft- ve in the kitchen for several horn . barely opening one eye when someone would come in or somebody would comment about “that lazy cat,” Mom would say, “Tom is well hope up.” My wife remembers the expression as “Well hoped up.” Either way, the only sense I can make of this ... if there is any to make of it .. is that the object of the term is as well off as he/it could hope to be, i.e., all his wishes or hopes are fulfilled, so, he is “well hope up.” Is anyone familiar with this term or its origin? Do you have any different interpretations of it? If you do, please let me know. What are you mumbling about now, Rabbit?’ While we are on this subject of “things remembered,’ during the last several years I have sent a number of hard working librarians on a variety of wild gpose chases looking for a particular fable or children’s story. As the years grow mellow for this writer and his bride of over 40 years, we, occasionally, miss a word or two in our conversations with one another. Our lighthearted response, used instead of “What?” is, “What are you mumbling about now, Rabbit?” I grew up in Rappahannock County and my wife, Linda, grew up in Fauquier. But, both of us have memories of a child hood story about a rabbit and, we think, a tortoise. No, it’s not the “slow and steady wins the race” tortoise and hare story. It is a story about a tortoise driving a pony cart to town, and he passes a rabbit, walking, and the rabbit is complaining about having to walk to town, so the good hearted tortoise offers him a ride on the back of the cart. As the two proceed to town, the rabbit begins to complain, under his breath, about how cold it is or something else that is bothering him. The tortoise stops the cart and says, “What are you mumbling about, Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com Rabbit?” The rabbit tells him he is cold, so the obliging tortoise gives him his coat, and they are on their way again. Shortly thereafter, the rabbit begins to complain and mumble again. And the now slightly agitated tortoise stops the cart and asks again, “Wljat are you mumbling about now, Rabbit?” This time, the rabbit tells him he is hungry, so the tortoise gives him his lunch, and they start on their way again. As you can imagine, eventually, the tortoise is riding on the back of the cart, without his coat, without his lunch, without his water, etc., etc., and the rabbit is up front, with the tortoise’s coat, well fed and watered, and still complaining and mumbling. As I remember the outcome of the fable, the tortoise finally sees the light, stops the cart, takes his coat bacK, puts the rabbit afoot, and proceeds on his way to town. But, perhaps, that is just the way I want to remember the story. Help us out, folks. Do you have recollections of such a story? Do you have it in a book somewhere? It is a story from the past that is just as relevant See FLINT HILL, Page A10 The community lost a dear friend Our community is a sadder place since we lost a dear friend, Roger Batchelder, who passed away at his residence on Monday, May 9. Funeral services were held on Saturday, May 14 on the top of Massie Mountain in Washington. Batchelder loved that mountain, there were times when he Would come into the Rappahannock News to purchase a paper, he would often say to me I am going to my quiet mountain to read the newspaper and relax. As I go by Massie Mountain each day on my way to and from work and see that big flag blowing in the breeze, the memory of Batchelder will always be with me, because we shared one thing together, the beautiful Massie Mountain view. His spirit will always be on that mountain top. Our hearts goes out to his wife, Jane and family. Batchelder will be greatly miss by everyone who knew him.

People are attempting to keep their yards mowed and most people are mowing eveiy 7 or 8 days. I am told that in the past these endeavors were done very differently around Viewtown. Interviewing a few people, I found that 40 years ago or so, the standard yard cutter was your basic “push” power mower. In addition to this a simple pair of hand clippers did the occasional trimming. Some people who had small yards used a manual , non powered, push mower. This mower usually had a long wood handle and a set of blades that turned as you walked along. Yards in those days, were cut about once every 2 to 3 weeks, according to people I have spoken to. It seems that mowing in those days was just a maintenance process. Yards primarily were cut to make it easier to access the property and to keep down the hiding places for snakes and such. Local people tell me that the advent of the weed eater and riding mowers revolutionized the whole lawn picture. By the early 1970’s both of these implements were available at an affordable price. Soon people realized that with just a little effort, they could have their yards look as if they had a full time gardener on staff. The “golf VlEWTOWN Linda Hitt 937-4221 course” look was here to stay. In recent times a large industry has evolved out of this. On any given morning in our -area you can see pick up trucks pulling trailers full of yard cutting equipment, going to and fro. My husband Danny believes that the onset of the weed eater also helped to give birth to the tree trimming industry or at least the current boom. He says that when people started manicuring their yards instead of just cutting them, it was just natural that the trees needed to look their best. He believes that never in history has so much time and money been spent maintaining our yards. Dozens of people in our area make a nice living maintaining yards and doing tree work. Long live the weed eater! Spring is also a time of house painting and such. The Forest Grove Church is holding a painting party at the old Forest Grove School.

County residents support Farmland Preservation Program By Hal Hunter Special to the Rappahannock News An idea for helping Rappahannock farmers that first started percolating in 2002 received a solid financial boost Saturday night. A capacity crowd gathered at the home of Judith Richards Hope to honor last year’s easement donors and raise funds for the county Farmland Preservation Program. More than 220 county residents and neighbors heard Bob Lee, Executive Director of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, describe ways residents can work to keep the county the way it is— rural and scenic, with abundant forests and open space. The event was sponsored by the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA), a group that encourages landowners to donate easements, and provides financial support for the county Farmland Preservation Program. County residents showed their support for easements in general and the Farmland Preservation Program in particular by over-subscribing Saturday’s First Annual RCCA Evening Event. After setting a goal of 100, RCCA received well over that number through word of mouth even before .the invitations were mailed. More than a dozen people were on the waiting list when the list was closed for lack of additional space. After brief encounters with rain and thunderstorms, the clouds parted in time for Bob 10th Annual Horse Show Pony/Hunter/Pleasure Sat. May 21 9:00am Clarke County Fairgrounds Berryville, VA To benefit Shelter for Abused Women For more information, call 540-837-3047 or 540-955-4032 What is the Farmland Preservation Program? The Farmland Preservation Program .s an easement program based on the purchase of development rights (PDR), an exchange that offers cash for open space. PDR programs are endorsed by the Commonwealth of Virginia and used in our area in Albemarle, Clarke, Fauquier, and Loudoun Counties. The Farmland Preservation Program is the state’s newest PDR program. The program targets working farmers. Local farmers who may be tempted to sell to developers can keep their property intact, pass it on to their children, and otherwise use their land for any purpose that keeps the property relatively undivided. Lee’s remarks. Some of his excerpts follow. The Goal In celebration of the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown (1607), the Virginia General Assembly Anniversary Goal targets protection of one million acres of land by 2007. Public Support The 2000 Virginia Outdoor Foundation Survey found that 73 percent of citizens feel it is “very important” to protect open space resources. In a 2001 poll 89 percent of Virginians felt that “preserving and protecting open space is important.” Eight-two percent believed that Virginia’s natural areas will soon be lost forever; and 65% of Virginia voters supported creating a permanent source of funding for protecting farms, forests, water quality, and open space. Economic Importance Virginia’s economic base is grounded in its natural and cultural resources. The three leading economic generators in Horse & Barn Equipment Auctions by Hartman Sat 5/21 - 10am 11157 James Madison Highway RT 29 Bealeton, Va 540-272-2237 _www.auctionsbyhartman.com the Commonwealth are resource-based industries: agriculture, forestry, and tourism. Virginia ranks in the top ten U.S. tourist destination states, largely due to its historic, cultural and natural resources. Loss of working lands and natural resources has dire economic consequences as well as cultural heritage and natural processes implications. Agriculture directly employs over 235,000 persons in the Commonwealth. Agriculture-related income in other sectors accounts for pne in every ten jobs in the state representing $19.5 billion in economic activity annually. The forest products industry produces 228,000jobs and adds almost $10 billion to our state economy. PDR Programs Purchase of Development Rights programs are expanding in Virginia as local governments witness the loss of irreplaceable working landscapes and concern grows in the face of sprawl. State and federal funds are available to help match local funds for land preservation. Funding from private non-profit sources is also sometimes available for land conservation. Virginia last in spending,'first in tax incentives Until the 2005 Session of the Virginia General Assembly, Virginia ranked 50th among states in per capita spending for natural resources. The Commonwealth is still in the bottom 10 percent in this category, but there is some good news. Virginia has the best state tax incentives in the nation for voluntary land preservation. The Virginia Land Preservation Transferable State Income Tax Credit Program is unequivocally ranked as number one among all private land conservation incentive programs in the nation (Land Trust Alliance). This program provides a transferable and unlimited state income tax credit equal to 50 percent of the value of a voluntarily donated conservation easement. This tax credit has resulted in VOF taking more easements in the last 5 years than in the prior 34 years of its existence. The transferability component is the feature that makes the impact of this preservation tax credit so profound. Now the beleaguered family farmers of Virginia, who have struggled to sustain a modest income in the face of rising costs and declining commodity prices, have a viable option to keep their working lands productive as opposed to reaping the last bittersweet harvest by selling the farm to land speculators or developers. Danger Signals There is, however, clear and present danger in the form of governmental proposals at both the federal and state levels that may undermine the efficacy of the Virginia conservation tax credit incentive. The Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation made recommendations for federal tax reforms that would deci STOREWIDE NOW THROUGH MONDAY WHEN YOU TAKE AN WM EXTRA 30%0F PREVI0US1Y REDUCED.* 'uu u savb HL^'S HOW YOU’LL ORIG.

Also, a joint special conservation easements subcommittee of the Virginia House and Senate Finance Committees has been convened to determine whether the conservation easements tax credit program is “too good” Some amendment to Virginia’s “best in the nation” easements tax credit land conservation incentive program may be appropriate, but if the “baby gets thrown out with the bathwater” the Commonwealth’s recent momentum in land conservation gains will be lost and the responsible land conservation goals cited at the beginning of my remarks will not be attained. Now, more than ever, Virginian’s who care about our revered cultural and natural heritage must mobilize for conservation in a major election year. The Land Preservation Tax Credit Program (LPC), as the state income tax credit is referred to by the Virginia Department of Taxation, represents the best way for Virginians to seize the opportunity to preserve our “uncommon wealth” for the benefit of current and future generations. We know the challenges and we must now seize the opportunities.

Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jeanne Spath Rappahannock County Rappahannock farmers look to younger generation By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County is a place of rolling hills and open fields where animals graze and farmers work the land. In the early morning you can hear the long lowing of cattle and in the evening the whoop of the farmers as they round up their animals. But what will become of this way of life? In an ever faster paced growing world, the ways of the individual farmer are being lost as we shift to large agribusiness where animals are raised and slaughtered en mass and produce is genetically engineered to grow large, sacrificing flavor. Today in America farmers over the age of 55 control more than half of U.S. Farmland. What concerns local farmers such as Cliff Miller and Joyce Abell of Rappahannock County is what will happen to the farm land they have worked so hard to preserve. Miller is the owner of 800 acre Mt Vernon Farm in Sperryville, Va., which has been in his family since 1827. Wanting to keep his farm in the family, Miller is concerned with its fate. With no one on the horizon to take his place running the farm, Miller has been seeking an alternate solution. This is why he has enlisted the help of young people interested in farming, but unable to raise the capital to buy their own land. Miller has connected with several young people from around the country who have spent years learning about farming and have wanted to try their hand at it. A young couple wanting to grow vegetables and a young girl interested in cattle farming have found a way to make their hopes come alive at Mt. Vernon. Miller and these youths have come to an agreement that serves their combined interests. Miller sees his land being put to good use by informed farmers and the fanners are able to have a place to do their work. Miller also feels there is a great benefit to bringing in young farmers because he likes their alternative approaches to working the land. In a day and age where things change rapidly it is important to keep up with the times, but preserve the integrity of the land and the product that is being raised. Joyce Abell, another concerned farmer, owns a considerably smaller piece of land, but has done much the same thing. Farming her 20 acres of land for 17 years Abell felt it time to retire. When she met with another aspiring young farmer she found a way to see her land continue to grow. Once growing asparagus, raspberries, lettuce and other vegetables Abell and her late husband sold their produce to local restaurants and markets. What is key about Rappahannock, Abell feels, is that it is a prime location for farming because it is close to larger outlets. Farmers markets have become a source for those living in the city who want to connect with fresh vegetable, and they seem to be springing up everywhere. Farmers in Rappahannock can grow their vegetable here and take them to the city to be sold. Abell has allowed a portion of her land to be farmed by a young tenant living on her property. Abell says that there are so many people in Get Real Value with Honda EU2000i • 2000 Watts (16.3 A) of Honda Inverter 120V AC Power • Super Quiet - 53 to 59 dB( A) • Lightweight (less than 47 lbs.) • Advanced Inverter Technology Provides Reliable Power to Computers and Other Sensitive Equipment • Power for Microwave, Refrigerators, Hair Dryers and Small AC f 4t* <*' . , k.*. * ‘ X ?

For example, retirees or people who own a place they only visit on the weekends. Abell envisions connecting people who want to farm with people who have the land and do not use it. If the two come together to see that the land can be well taken care of both will profit. When asked why they thought there was such a decline in the youth wanting to farm the land Miller and Abell both had insightful responses. Miller believes a paradigm shift is taking place in our world today. Slowly the youth of America are being exposed to careers other than farming. Farmers who have children may not want them to undertake such a difficult lifestyle. Miller explained that a vast majority of farm owners must seek work off the farm just to support it. That is why he believes that what the young people on his farm are doing is so important. They are able to concentrate on farming, not on having to fund it. Miller also believes young people need to be introduced r to innovative ways of farming to keep the land self-sufficient. A simple example is if you have cows grazing on the land they will also fertilize it. If you grow hay and just sell it away you are simple removing nutrients from the land and not replenishing it. Miller feels that what is needed is to prove to youths that environmentally healthy ways of farming are still viable and that to be a successful farmer does not mean buying into the agribusiness. Young people need to be woken up to the ways of farming and their interests cultivated so they can learn. Abell suggested that many of the young people who grow up in rural areas want to escape them. There is often a feeling that the rural lifestyle is too quiet and the excitement of a larger city must be sought. Abell said she does see some young people return to the area after they have seen what the rest of the world has to offer and this gives her hope. Over the next few weeks the stories of these young farmers will be told in an attempt to get the word out about this innovative project.

HOSPITALITY: Bruce Jones (on the left) and Fran Krebser (on the right) chat with John Anderson, the owner of Jessamine Hill Farm, at the Trinity Garden Guild’s benefit. Trinity Garden Guild Benefit ‘Great Success’ By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Some 80 guests attended the Trinity Garden Guild’s Fourth Annual “Great Spring Garden Party” held Saturday evening at Jessamine Hill Farm, the home of John Anderson in Tiger Valley near Little Washington. The benefit raised much-needed funds to help sustain the endowment fund for garden improvements around Trinity Episcopal Church in Little Washington. Members of Trinity’s Garden Guild have worked diligently in recent years to make the center of town a showcase of beauty the year around. And their work has been especially evident in recent weeks with the abundant tulips, flowering magnolias, and other flowers and shrubs that enhance the gardens around the church. All the elements for a successful party were evident: a perfect spring evening, magnificent gardens and grounds with spring flowers everywhere, an elegant historic home as the setting, sumptuous food, good wine, memorable music, and guests in a fun-loving mood to enjoy the evening. Adding to the ambiance of the evening were the many ladies in evening attire and large floppy hats, many with flowers, so appropriate for a spring garden party. Reflecting the sentiment of her committee, Katherine Bull, presi dent of the Trinity Garden Guild, said, “This was the most successful party I think we’ve given in terms of a fun time, wonderful weather, beautiful grounds and home, and a sumptuous buffet. We are indebted to all the generous people who support our efforts to make Little Washington such a special place to visit.” Outdoor affair Left: More than 200 residents gathered at a fundraiser at the home of Judith Hope on Saturday evening to team more about and support Rappahannock’s Farmland Preservation Program Photos by Kaye Kohler Right: Charley Strittmatter, chairman of the county planning commission, talks with Sarah Gannon (left), Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) and other evening guests at the first annual evening event sponsored by the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA).

• Events/B2 • Obituaries/B7 • Classifieds/B8-B12 May 19, 2005 Section B www.timescommunity.com Photo courtesy of Greg Huddleston ELEGANT ENSEMBLE: Members of choral ensemble, Camerata Cantores, gather on the steps of Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville following a recent concert. Director, Helen Dill, is pictured second from right. They will be performing at The Theatre on June 4. Camerata Cantores and Brass Classique to perform ‘All Ye Who Music Love’ By Greg Huddleston Special to the Rappahannock News A good music dictionary defines ‘camerata’ as a “musical ensemble which performs a wide variety of music.” The same reference book defines ‘cantores’ to mean “of the singers.” But definitions fail to do justice to the vocal ensemble known as Camarata Cantores. You have to hear them sing. Organized 14 years ago by Culpeper County resident Helen Dill, the group, which is developing a very loyal and appreciative following in Fauquier, Culpeper and surrounding counties, is known for its distinctive vocal style characterized by a blended sound and good diction as well as dynamic contrast. Many who have heard the 28member group are struck by the lush but disciplined textures that reflect the ensemble’s ability to sing “as one voice.” On Friday, June 3, the Camerata Cantores and Brass Classique will perform their latest program, “All Ye Who Music Love”, at the St. Stephens Episcopal Church in Culpeper. This performance will be followed by another of the same program on Saturday, June 4 at The Theatre at Washington, in Washington, Virginia. Both performances begin at 8:00pm. One of the highlights of the program will be “Where the Earth Meets the Sky,” a suite of songs by American composer Randall Stroope which sets to music the works of American poets from different cultures. In addition to musical settings for poems by Robert Frost and Langston Hughes, the suite’s last piece hauntingly embraces the Native American vision of this country. The result is a musical tapestry which enhances the artists’ mutual feelings of respect for the splendors of nature and earth’s gifts. The ensemble will also perform a suite of Scottish folksongs by Ken Berg as well as a number of English, French, and American folk times and spirituals. Brass Classique joins Camerata Cantores in this program offering selections to complement the varied moods and vocal textures of the madrigal ensemble. This accomplished brass quartet was founded by Richard Dill 16 years ago and consists of two trumpets plus two trombones under the direction of Dill. Tickets are $15 and will be available at the door. Advance tickets may be purchased at g. whillikers in Warrenton; at Culpeper Antiques at 137 S. Main Street in Culpeper; and in Middleburg at Books & Crannies at 15 S. Madison Street. For more information, call 540937-4044 or visit www.cameratacantores.org.

Bucky Pizzarelli Trio to perform On Saturday, May 28 at 8 p.m., the Bucky Pizzarelli Trio returns to the Theatre at Washington, Virginia for another of the popular jazz concerts at that venue. An iconic figure in guitar music and one of the most venerated musicians in jazz today, Bucky Pizzarelli has been at the forefront of the jazz guitar world for more than half a century. As a teenager, Pizzarelli cut his professional teeth as a member of Vaughn Monroe’s popular dance band, which quickly established him as a solid rhythmic player with an innate sensibility for swing. From this post, Pizzarelli launched a stellar career that would keep him constantly on the stage or in the studio playing and recording with the most recognizable names in jazz, including Benny Goodman, Stephane Grappelli, Zoot Sims, Doc Severinson and Bud Freeman, just to name a few. A living treasure of jazz, Bucky Pizzarelli Trio Pizzarelli is admired by his peers, beloved by his fans, and praised by music critics worldwide for his fresh and formidable style. Joining him for the concert on May 28 will be two other jazz musicians who are exceptionally popular with audiences at the Theatre at Washington, Virginia — Chuck Redd on vibes and drums, and Tommy Cecil on bass. Tickets for the concert at the Theatre on May 28 are $15 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. The concert is already well subscribed and reservations are suggested.

Music by 17th- and 18th-century composers is mixed with 20th-century songs in a dialogue about longing, love, loss — perennial human concerns. From Bach, Handel, and Purcell to Bernstein, Gershwin, and Sondheim, the range of emotions from hope to heartache is fully explored. Entitled “Tbrch Songs,” the program goes beyond the definition of “a popular and sentimental song, especially portraying unrequited love” to include instrumental pieces. Director Andrew Appel has woven works with common thematic threads into a seamless tapestry that includes Couperin and Noel Coward. Four Nations has developed a leading presence on the early music scene both in New York and nationally during the last two decades. (Their name is taken from one of France’s most extraordinary institutions, the College of Four Nations, a centralized bureau for the arts created under Louis XIV to house the academies of poetry, music, dance, and painting; it alludes to the four monarchies recognized by France.) The group brings together prominent exponents of period instrument and vocal performance to present great music from the Renaissance through the Classical masterpieces, in addition to working with guest artists and ensembles in diverse musical styles and multi-national traditions. Critics have been unanimous in praising Four Nations for their innovative programming. A core comprised of harpsichord or fortepiano, violin) s), flute, and cello is joined as necessary by singers and other instrumentalists. They appear at major houses, festivals, and series across the country, including Kennedy Center and Lincoln Center. Guest artists for “Tbrch Songs” include two sopranos and a pianist (augmenting director Appel at the harpsichord and a violin, flute, and cello). Internationally admired Anna Bergman sings everything from opera to Broadway and cabaret, of which she has been called “the American Goddess ” Washington recently heard her in the Kennedy Center’s Sondheim Celebration and a solo concert at the Corcoran Gallery. In naming her debut solo CD the Best CD of 2003, World Arts Celebrity Journal hailed “A world-class per former..Anna Bergman is a musical phenomenon!” Representing a diva from earlier times will be Ann Monoyios, equally well known as a specialist in the baroque and classical literature. A frequent colleague of Four Nations, Ms. Monoyios concertizes throughout Europe and North America in a wide variety of repertoire including opera, oratorio, chamber music and recitals. She has collaborated with all of the leading period performance ensembles and conductors and is widely recorded. Pianist, conductor, and voice coach William Hicks completes the ensemble. He served as Assistant Conductor of the Metropolitan Opera for six years; as a free-llance pianist he has appeared with some of the greatest singers of our time. Mr. Hicks presents master classes for opera singers on both coasts, and brings a special stylistic familiarity to 20thcentury popular songs. “Tbrch Songs” is a finale to the 58th annual Neighborhood Art Show weekend, with the concert followed by a reception in the Art Show gallery. Grace Church is located at 6507 Main St. in The Plains, VA. A donation of $15 is suggested for the concert offering. For more information please call 540-253-5177 or visit www.gracechurch.net.

Some of the activities include: • A fabulous picnic begin ning around 5:30 or 6 p.m.— since food is a must for all Rappahannock events; • Various Rappahannock notables appearing throughout the evening; • The Rappahannock High School Cheerleaders leading cheers; • An education tent to provide information about fighting and detecting cancer; • The lighting of the luminaries at dark around 9 p.m. in honor or memory of both cancer victims and cancer survivors; • The singing of a our song “I’ve Got to Live” written by Paul Reisler and a group of cancer survivors; • Pizza madness at 11 p.m. where pizza will be served to all the teams; • Judging to find the best camp site and camp site theme; • Continental breakfast at 6:00 a.m. on Sunday morning; • Closing ceremonies at 8 a.m. where the teams that met their fund raising goals as well as those top fund-raising teams will be recognized; and finally • Clean up. Final arrangements are now underway. The many teams, are completing their fund raising and readying themselves for the Relay, entertainment and camping out. They are also busy preparing food under the direction of Bev Atkins, the picnic chair. Others are busy making certain that all of the details are in place to assure a safe and enjoyable Relay. Safety rules require that a responsible adult supervise children under 18. Access on the school grounds will be limited to specific areas and all participants will be given maps of the permitted areas. No animals are permitted on the school grounds. Because the committee was concerned about safety, rollerblading and skating will not be permitted. All participants or their parents or legal guardians for children under 18 must be registered and have signed waivers. The waivers release the Relay’s organizers from claims arising from participation in the event and permit the use of names and photographs. A good way to join in the fight against cancer is to join or sponsor a team or generously contribute to a team. It is not too late. Contributions made before 11 p.m. on the night of the Relay will be counted toward the competition for highest amounts raised by teams and individuals. However, funds submitted after the deadline will still count towards the Relay’s total. For further information, contact Ben Atkins at 635-2377 or join us at the Relay and make your contribution.

Internet offers pros and cons for children By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Readers over 40-years-old may remember the television commercial that let parents know that it was 11 p.m. and asked if the parents knew where their children were. Now, a generation later, the more appropriate question would be ‘Do you know what your children are exposed to on the Internet?’ Recently, a Fauquier County teen was found in a threatening situation when a man with whom she had been chatting on the Internet sought her, and found where she lived. The man made the trip from Canada, and fortunately, was seized by authorities before the youth could be harmed. “Know what your kids are doing on the Internet,” warned Fauquier County Police Department’s Maj. Paul Mercer. Mercer began researching the Internet to find what was available to children online approximately five years ago, and the astounding results led to a talk he gives regularly to parents with school-aged children. Access on the Web According to Mercer, not only are children exposed to ‘pop-up ads’ which advertise everything from pornography to prescription medications for performance enhancement, but they also have access to personal pages and chatrooms. On the personal pages, anyone can place pictures of themselves, as well as identifying information which would make it very easy for a predator to locate a teen. As for the chatrooms, even teens can access those, chatting with unknown people and often giving personal information without even realizing what they are revealing. According to Integrity Online, children from the ages 819 are often accidentally exposed to pornography for the first time while doing homework on the Internet. Statistics on the Website report that a large majority of children surveyed by the group have viewed porn online. However, only 16 percent of the parents are aware of what their children have seen. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and Department of Justice recently released, “Twelve to fifteen year olds are victimized at a rate of 84 percent higher than the general population.” Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jeanne Spath TEENS AND INTERNET: Internet usage has grown in popularity among teens, but the question remains, what are they exposed to online? This statistic has lead them to put a Website online, www. safeteens.com, which advises teens how to safely use the Internet, including chatrooms, instant messaging, e-mail and peer-to-peer newsgroups. Key advice for children Mercer stressed that there are several things children should be armed with prior to Times Community Newspapers will be closed on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30, 2005 Early Sr I Deadline Publication Date: June 1, 2005 Deadline Date: May 27, 2005 Classified Advertising Deadlines: Real Estate: Friday, May 27th, at 11:00 a.m. Employment: Friday, May 27th at 4:00 p.m. Horse & Farm: Friday, May 27th at 4:00 p.m. Places of Worship: Wed., May 25th at 12:00 p.m. Your Community Directory: Wed., May 25th at 12:00 p.m •sAur*®1 *pJ*sa***,mx%i!

Freeh, Former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “It is frightening what children can see online,” said Rappahannock County Sheriff Larry Sherertz, “If I am getting the pop-ups and e-mails with firewalls on the computer, I know children are getting them. Parents really need to be aware.” Availability of drugs online While pharmaceutical companies offer mail service online for prescription drugs, an overwhelming amount of illegal drug information is available online. Mercer advised that parents become aware that there are numerical equivalents for marijuana and alcohol being used online, especially in chatrooms on instant messaging. In fact, by simply typing the numerical code 420 into the search engine, Websites for marijuana are instantly at the fingertips of teens. “Know the street slang,” advised Fauquier County School Resource Officer Corporal Otis Ellis, adding that there are many Websites that detail street and drug slang that is being used online. Ellis also said that he has seen prescription drugs becoming more and more of a problem within the schools as well, with students buying and selling them illegally. Not only have the Fauquier CADRE and the Warren Coalition seen an increase in prescription drug abuse, but also in over-the-counter (OTC) medications. According to Diane Fisher, counselor/educator of the Warren Coalition, there has been a rise in the abuse of OTC medications including Coricidin Cough and Cold and Robitussin DM. “Teens often refer to abusing DMX/Coricidin as robotripping or skittling, and Coricidin tablets are commonly referred to as “Triple C” (Coricidin Cough and Cold), Skittles, or Red Devils. Taking more than the recommended dosage is dangerous enough, but teens often wash down the pills with alcohol or mix the drug with Ecstasy or other drugs, which highly increases the risk,” Fisher said. “Resource officers are invaluable because of the information they can get just being around the kids,” Mercer said. What can parents do? Mercer offers many ways for parents to protect their children from the dangers of Internet, including: • Learn the technology. • Keep the computer in a common area of your house. • Talk to your child about online computer use, and make them aware of the dangers. • Learn your child’s online habits. • Use parental controls, filtering software, and/or Internet service providers (ISP) that offer filtering capabilities. • Maintain and periodically check your child’s e-mail messages and browser history. • Check your child’s “Favorite Places” list. Checking the browser history is done very simply by going into the computer’s control panel, click on ‘Internet Options’, then under the tab ‘Settings’, go into *View Files’. Parents can quickly see which Websites have been visited and how long their child has been there. “Parents can also take further steps to be proactive rather than reactive,” Mercer said. Those steps would include installing software that would filter all incoming and outgoing Internet communication. According to the Internet Filter Review for 2005, the top two filter software programs are ContentProtect by ContentWatch and CYBERsitter. Both programs allow the owner to determine what Internet content enters the home, but CYBERsitter also offers an e-mail filtering option. Of the programs reviewed by Internet Filter Review, the cost range is $30-$50 per program.

The play is inspired by the author’s family who lived at the base of the Blue Ridge 'Mountains when Shenandoah National Park was established. Ms. Susan Hull is the author of more than 25 poems exploring the lives of her neighbors and relatives beginning in 1918 with the influenza pandemic and ending with their departure from their homeplace in 1936 after the park was established. Ms. Hull, a teacher at Western Albemarle High School and the school’s drama teacher, Ms. Harriet Resio worked together to adapt her poetry to the stage. The students began work on the drama last December and performed it twice during the Virginia Festival of the Book. r-T “The students are really excited about bringing the play to the park” said Harriet Resio, the director. Claire Comer, Shenandoah National Park ranger who saw the original performance added, “the play is such an honest and moving portrayal of the era, and the students, many of whom are descendents of families that were affected by the establishment of the park, certainly do the material justice.” The hour-long performance will be followed by a panel discussion involving the cast, author, director, a Shenandoah National Park ranger, and the audience. The public is cordially invited to attend. There is no charge for the performance. A $10 per car fee, or a valid park pass (Golden Eagle, Shenandoah, Golden Age, Golden Access) is needed to enter the park. 1 June 3-5 Meadowood Special Recreation Management Area Lorton,VA 10406 Gunstxm Road ™ *s Pridaf Preview: Noon* 5paS<v f| wrj Saturday Adoption: 8am * 5pm / IfVevW' Sunday Adoption: 8am-Noon 5 Competitive bid adoption begins at 11:00 am itt' Saturday, June 4 Hwt come, first served aftewstd, v For information call 703^33? 8009 s www.wildhoi US.

Grace Church celebrates 150 years with art and music show By Enid Adams Special to the Rappahannock News The weekend of May 2022 will be a celebration of the arts at Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains, beginning with The Gala Opening of the 58th Annual Neighborhood Art Show and Sale, Friday from 6-8:30 p.m. The opening reception promises patrons a feast for the eyes while enjoying fine food and drink. Hundreds of original, regional works in all media will be displayed, including oil and watercolor painting, photography and graphic media, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, mixed and other media. The exhibit includes the work of regional artists within a radius of 75 miles. This event provides a wonderful opportunity to meet area artists and buy original works rarely offered for sale. Artwork of talented emerging and mature artists will be on display, along with new artwork by established professionals. A student exhibit concurrent with the adult entries will highlight the best creative efforts of young talent. The show and sale continues through the weekend, Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Art Show Gallery will reopen Sunday for a special reception with Four Nations Ensemble following their concert which begins at 5 p.m. “Torch Songs — Hope and Heartache from Bach to Bernstein” includes music spanning two centuries with themes of love and longing. The Art Show continues a rich tradition of highlighting area artists since 1947, and is a part of the year-long celebration at Grace Church commemorating 150 as a parish. The first exhibit of local artists was held in 1947, initiated by The Reverend Harold Peters, as a fundraising project of the Episcopal Church Women. Now the entire parish and a broad community of artists and patrons contribute to the success of this event. Proceeds from exhibitor entries, sponsors, admissions and purchases will benefit area outreach through contributions to local non-profit organizations and worldwide relief efforts. Earlier this year, Grace Church Outreach contributed $5000 for relief to tsunami victims. Last year, $5000 of proceeds served as seed money to complete a Habitat house in Turnbull with other churches. Additional funds support in-house efforts like Grace Church food pantry. Admission is $15 for the Friday night Art Show Gala, Photo courtesy of Enid Adams ‘Reflections’ acrylic painting by Sandi Lowe featuring food, drink and a chance to meet the artists. Complimentary admission for adult exhibiting artists and sponsors. There is a suggested donation of $5 per person to the art show on Saturday and Sunday, with student exhibitors admitted free. Suggested donation for the concert and reception Sunday is $15 per person. Grace Church is located at 6507 Main Street, The Plains.

Hurricane and Flood Preparedness Week Active Hurricane Season Predicted — Virginians getting ready RICHMOND, VA — The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to bring a higher than normal number of hurricanes to the east coast according to hurricane expert, Dr. William Gray. The Virginia Department of Emergency Management encourages inland residents to prepare now for hurricane season, which extends from June 1 through Nov. 30. Even when hurricanes strike other areas of the country, they can still cause significant damage and loss of life in Virginia. In fact, some of the worst storms in Virginia’s history were from hurricanes that made landfall in other states". In 1969, Hurricane Camille made landfall in Mississippi, but killed 153 people in Virginia, making it the Commonwealth’s deadliest hurricane on record. Two years ago, Hurricane Isabel made landfall in North Carolina, but caused 36 deaths and over $1.9 billion in damages in Virginia. “It’s important to stay tuned to weather reports even if it seems a hurricane will make landfall somewhere else,” said Michael Cline, state coordinator for the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. “Be prepared to evacuate, especially OPEN HOUSE Sunday, May 22 1:00 - 4:00 PM Fair Haven Completely renovated in 2004, Fair Haven is the ideal family retreat.

Last year, Hurricane Gaston had weakened to a tropical depression when it entered , central Virginia. However, heavy rain caused record flooding in the region resulting in mne deaths and major damage to homes and businesses. Hurricane Isabel was a tropical storm when she entered Virginia, but caused damage to 75% of the state, making it one of the costliest disasters in Virginia’s history. The Virginia Department of Emergency Management, in cooperation with the National Weather Service and local emergency management officials, offers these safety tips to protect lives and reduce property damage: Before the storm Know your risk.

If you live in a flood-prone area, identify where to go if you are told to evacuate and the safest route to get there. If there is a flood, you may only have minutes to get to safety. Choose several places — a friend’s home in another town, a motel or a shelter. Remember, public shelters and many motels don’t allow pets in their facilities. Get ready for a possible power outage by gathering a minimum one-week supply of foods that don’t require refrigeration or cooking, such as canned goods, as well as bottled water, flashlights with extra batteries, a first-aid kit and battery-powered radio. If you need to evacuate, make sure you can consolidate these items into a portable “go” kit, like a backpack or duffel bag. Purchase a NOAA Weather Radio for National Weather Service reports and severe weather warnings. Cut dead trees and limbs that could fall on your home. If your home or business is in a flood-prone area, make sure you have a current flood insurance policy (not typically part of a standard insurance policy). A 30-day waiting period is generally required to purchase flood insurance, so take time now to visit your insurance agent to learn more. Take pictures of your property before the storm to help validate your claim and remember to take your policies with you if you need to evacuate. When a hurricane is approaching Listen to your local radio and TV stations for updated storm information. A hurricane or flood watch means possible danger. If the danger increases, a hurricane or flood warning will be issued. If you have space in your refrigerator or freezer, consider filling plastic containers with water, leaving about an inch of space inside each one. (Remember, water expands as it freezes, so it is important to leave room in the container for the expanded water.) Place the containers in the refrigerator and freezer. This chilled or frozen water will help keep food cold for several hours if the power goes out. Fill your bathtub with water to use for toilet flushing in case water services are unavailable following - the storm. Bring in garbage cans, lawn furniture and other items that could blow away. Fill your car’s gas tank. Functional gas stations will be in short supply in a power outage. If heavy rains occur Be aware that floods are deceptive. Avoid already-flooded areas. Floodwaters that are above your knees are dangerous. Turn around and go back to higher ground. If you find floodwaters on the road while driving, turn around and find an alternate route. The road could be washed out and rapidly rising water could lift your car and carry it away. After the storm Listen to your local radio stations for official disaster relief information and instructions. Prepare to be without power, telephone or any outside service for a week or more. Watch out for downed power lines, weakened structures, rodents and snakes, and avoid standing water. Avoid drinking tap water unless officials say it is safe to do so. Eat only foods you are absolutely sure are safe. Be extra careful when han dling power tools, gas lanterns and matches. Operate generators outdoors only in a well-ventilated, dry area, away from air intakes to the home. Never use a generator indoors or in attached garages. Poor ventilation can result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death. Avoid using candles as a light source. Deadly fires can result. Hurricane and flood preparedness week - May 15-21 Knowing what to do before, during and aftef severe storms can mean the difference between life and death. Coastal residents must be ready to either ride out a storm at home or to evacuate, while inland residents must know how to prepare for floods and high winds. To alert citizens to the potential dangers of hurricanes and floods, and to educate them about preparing for these natural hazards, Governor Mark R. Warner has declared May 15-21 as Hurricane and Flood Preparedness Week in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Inspiring^ Tfmiqfitd % Randy Minter LEAVING AN INDELIBLE PRINT In bygone eras, when people used to take a much more formal approach to many things, there was something called “mourning stationary.” During the nineteenth century, this black-edged stationary was printed in Britain for the purpose of providing mourners with an appropriate means of corresponding with friends, family, and acquaintances during the grieving period. In fact, the stationary came with the black edging in several widths, which gradually grew thinner as the mourning period drew to a close. Grey-tinted notepaper was used to increase the somber tone. In time, blackedge stationary fell out of favor, as it was not deemed to be in the interest of public morale during the First World War. Writing notes to others is one way to stay connected to your loved one when he or she has passed on. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we offer logistical support and compassionate care to our clients. For a tour, call 347-3431.

The training sessions will be held in the conference room at Culpeper Regional Hospital. Volunteers are the backbone of the hospice service. Volunteers not only provide respite care, give emotional support, and run errands for families, but if you prefer, you can help with office management, writing letters, filing, or telephone support. The only qualifications are concern for your fellow man and a willingness to help another five as fully and as comfortably as possible. Training is required to ensure volunteers have the skills to feel comfortable working with hospice patients and their families. Monthly inservices provide support for the volunteers, educational information, and keep the volunteers upto-date on events. For more information, or to register for the training and orientation, call Nancy Wells at Family Care Home Health and Hospice Care at 829-5764. Police Briefs Click-It-Or-Ticket The Rappahannock County Sheriff's Office will join Virginia Law Enforcement in the “ClickIt-Or-Ticket” mobilization to enforce the Commonwealth’s safety belt and child safety seat laws. The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office will participate in high visibility patrols from now through the Memorial Day holiday. Virginia Law allows law enforcement to cite anyone driving a car in which an occupant under age 16 is not wearing a safety belt or is not properly secured in a child safety seat. The law also provides that drivers stopped for other violations can be cited if they are not properly restrained. This also applies to all front seat passengers over the age Of six. According to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, 942 persons were killed in motor vehicle related crashes in 2003. Of those, 439 persons were unrestrained. “It can’t be over emphasized, safety belts and child safety seats save lives,” said Major Chris Williams, “wearing a safety belt triples your chance of surviving a crash. Proper use of safety belts and child safety seats save millions of dollars in medical costs each year. We are participating in Click-It-OrTicket because we’re committed to preventing the tragic loss of life and devastating injuries that come with not buckling up.” Click-It-Or-Ticket is one of several programs under the Smart, Safe and Sober partnership. Smart, Safe and Sober is a statewide program dedicated to preventing death and injury on Virginia roadways. It is a joint partnership of The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office, the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police, the Virginia Department of State Police, the Virginia Sheriffs’ Association, DRIVE SMART Virginia, and the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. On Friday, May 20, the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department will be participating in a multi-jurisdiction program, which is part of the ChckIt-Or-Ticket program, patrolling the Route 522 corridor to make certain safety belts are in use for drivers, passengers and child safety seats. “We want to make certain everyone is aware that we do have two certified child safety seat officers on staff,” said Rappahannock County Sheriff Larry Sherertz. Lt. Roger Jenkins and Lt. Connie Smith are both certified to install child safety seats and advise parents how to correctly use the seats. Anyone interested in having a child safety seat properly installed, contact Lt. Jenkins or Lt. Smith at the Rappahannock County Sheriff”s Department, 540-675-5300. Forgery and Uttering arrests Diane Marie Scroggins, 41, of Jeffersonton, Virginia was arrested on May 5 for two counts of forgery and two counts of uttering by Lt. Connie Smith , of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department. Also arrested in the investigation by Smith was Angela Faye Scroggins, 24, of Rixeyville, Virginia on four counts of forgery and four counts of uttering. The charges stem from incidents which occurred from February 2, 2005 through April 5, 2005 where checks were stolen from Fauquier County and uttered at Laurel Mills Store in Rappahannock County. Obscene language charge David L. Konick, 52, of Castleton, Virginia was arrested by Deputy Mark Currence of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department on May 9 on a misdemeanor charge of allegedly using obscene language over the telephone. The control date will be set for an August 2005 hearing. Driving under the influence Roger W. Herrell, Jr., 25, of 744 Bell Court, Apartment 233, Culpeper, Virginia was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol on May 8 at 3:29 p.m. on Route 611 with a blood alcohol level of .20. The arrest was made by Rappahannock County Sheriff's Department’s Lt. Connie Smith. Y Talk-In Real Estate Are Our Zoning Laws Exclusionary? I read with interest in the Rappahannock News about Dick McNear’s comments before Planning Commission some weeks ago. With our current zoning policies, are we in danger of excluding certain ' people .from decent and affordable hoitsing.’ Are our middle and lower income families hating a tough time trying to find housing.’ Is our shortage of housing just an unfortunate set of economic circumstances.’ Is it a matter of supply and demand? Do we, as responsible citizens, have an obligation to provide decent and affordable housing for people.’ 1 think the answer to the last question is yes. If there is no legal obligation, there is certainly a moral one. Our comprehensive plan calls for development around the villages. What would be wrong with intense development around the villages’ Rather than the black dots (1/2 acre lots) which represents (to me) McMansion Sprawl. 1 think this could be done tastefully and with tight restrictions which would keep our towns attractive, and yet provide housing for all walks of life. I wouldn’t be opposed to multi-level structures, something like the Old School in Washington. Maybe a town square concept with a mix of business and living units within walking distance of town services. The old motel site that David Cole owns would be a perfect place for such a development. Maybe we ought to start thinking outside the box. If you are thinking of buying or selling, give me a call. Sam Snead, broker uri, CRS, CRB . Locally owned and managed.
