At this year’s Festival in the Parks competition in Hershey, Pennsylvania, competing against 10 other bands, the RCHS Band took the “Best Overall Concert Band” award. They also were awarded a “First Place” among “single A” (smaller schools) as well as a “Superior” rating for their performance in the competition. In addition, the band was awarded “Second Place” in the Marching Band category. Band director Matt Yonkey was emotional as he praised the talent and dedication of his band members.

With the recent closing of Rae’s Place and Deli, many throughout the Rappahannock County community mourned the loss, questioning the intent of Sunnyside Farms, owned by David C.

Cole and Smith entered their See SUNNYSIDE, Page A2 Thanks to fallen heroes — a tribute By Jan Clatterbuck Rappahannock New Staff Writer Memorial Day is much more than a three-day weekend that marks the beginning of summer. It is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service. There are many stories as to its actual beginnings with many cities and towns laying claim to being the birthplace of Memorial Day. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on May 30, 1868. It was originally called Decoration Day. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I, when the holiday changed from honoring just See HEROES, Page A6 FALLEN HEROES: Memorial Day is celebrated in honor of all those who have fought for freedom.

These students have made their mark in RCHS history by attaining the highest rating possible and setting the standard for years to come.” An enthusiastic crowd of music aficionados and supporters, including parents, friends, and teachers gathered at the school’s auditorium on Thursday evening for a rousing send-off for their trip: a “Spring Concert Collection” featuring a number of compositions that helped them win their awards. Among those concert pieces that propelled the RCHS Band to their outstanding success were “Rough Riders,” “As Summer Was Just Beginning,” and “Exaltation.” Superintendent of schools Dr. Robert Chappell was on hand for the pre-competition concert and expressed real pride in the band’s progress and popularity over the years. “When I was principal of the Photos by Richard Lykes DRUMMER’S DREAM: An instrument that is never missed in a band is the drum. In this picture of the RCHS’s Jazz Ensemble, Samantha Brown on the left is playing the drums and Zack Jackson, on the right, is on the steel bass guitar. high school some years ago, they had only 13 members. Now, with the band’s quality and popularity growing, the band now expects to reach well over 50 members by next school year.” Following the Concert Band’s performance, the RCHS’s “Jazz Ensemble” also presented a much-applauded concert, including the syncopated beat of “Crazy Rhythm” and “On Green Dolphin Street.” The crowd favorite, “Chameleon” was played as the encore. This was the EAsemble’s second formal concert. The group’s next major public appearance will be at the “Rivers and Roots Festival” to be held at Sunnyside on June 25 in Sperryville. The Jazz Ensemble also performs by request for civic and private functions around the county. Further information about the group’s availability can be obtained from Matt Yonkey, band director, at the Rappahannock High School at 987-3575, extension 23. SUNNYSIDE From Page A1 partnership in March, following several business dealings in the past between the two. “Once I became a partner with David,” Smith said, “I decided we needed to fast track things with Sunnyside. It was a bad idea from the beginning, the retail end was too big — too commercial. We need to go back to it being small town.” With that, Smith has been making regular visits to the Sperry ville location, attempting to make the changes necessary to create more of a community atmosphere. One of the first changes Smith wanted was a change in the name of the facility, which has been known as Sunnyside Farms Famous Rest Stop. The new name, which was unveiled at a Farm-to-Table event on Sunday, is now Sunnyside Farms @ The Schoolhouse. Currently, Smith has brought in new gourmet cooking sauces and cooking supplies, including barbeque utensils, replacing items he saw to be non-sellers within the store, including organic toilet paper. “We have to offer more than organic toilet paper and big chickens to the community,” Smith laughed, “and we are now gourmet sauce central.” The market within the complex, located in the old Sperryville High School building, has begun selling deli-style sandwiches, offering a similar fare that was previously available at Rae’s Place and Deli and as of Friday, a new pizza oven was installed, offering a delicious herb crust and fresh toppings — no canned veggies, according to Jonathan Partin, chef at Sunnyside Farms. A stroll through the facility will also find a new wine shop, featuring local Rappahannock County wines as well as wine from all over the world, which is approximately 150 bottles short of full stock. “We are offering a 10 percent discount on all our wines to Rappahannock residents on Thursdays,” Smith said, “giving the local people a chance to shop before the tourist crowd comes on weekends.” On the horizon The changes are just the tip of the iceberg as Smith sees it, commenting that changes will also be made to The Burger Bam, which is known for offering grilled Kobe beef burgers. Sunnyside Farms introduced Kobe beef to Rappahannock County, a product that has become synonymous with the business. However, Smith envisions The Burger Bam expanding outdoors, with a three-season awning wrapped in vinyl where the current outdoor eating area exists. Smith also has plans for expanding the kitchen TRUCKLOAD SALE GS?5 with 36' deck USA •SALE PRICE $3000 •17HP W/ELECTRIC START •5 SPEED *2 YR. WARRANTY 0-c FINANCING & PACKAGE PRICING AVAILABLE ?

In the bar area, Smith wants the atmosphere to be “like Cheers in Rappahannock,” adding plasma televisions for patrons to view sporting events. “We will be enlarging the kitchen area for fine dining and are optimistic that it will be open by the end of June or midJuly. There is a lot of work to be done.” This past weekend, Smith oversaw the installation of wireless connection for diners to mix high-tech workloads with their lunchtime schedules. “It would be a great place for business to be conducted, over lunch,” Smith suggested. Will Sunnyside Farms stay in Rappahannock? For those in Rappahannock County who keep tabs on Cole’s business ventures worldwide, concern has been murmured throughout that Sunnyside Farms, LLC will suffer the same fate as Walnut Acres, an organic farming investment Cole made in Pennsylvania. After Cole took over that venture, the business went sour, leaving a community devastated by job loss, according to numerous publications. To that scenario, Smith responded, “I am not a multimillionaire and I am putting my money in there (Sunnyside Farms, LLC). I am not putting it there to close it down.” Smith also said that the limited hours Sunnyside is open is of concern to him, but at this time, profits are not enough to keep the establishment open seven days-a-week. “I am open to suggestions about how to do things at Sunnyside Farms,” Smith said, “But we are going to take it slow and do it right.” Smith expressed his desire to be a hands-on co-owner, often staying late into the night to make certain changes are made to his satisfaction by rolling up his own sleeves and doing the work. “I learned that people respect a boss more who gets their hands dirty than the one that writes the check,” Smith said.

Jeffrey Clem, Wesley McGlothlin, Mike Archuleta, Shawn Hamrick, Erhost Salazar, Vernon McCall, Mark Martinez and Rudy Valez were also named in the indictment. Archuleta owns and operates Mark V. Outfitters and Sierra Taxidermy in Espanola, N.M. McGlothlin owns and operates Antler Ridge Taxidermy in Amiss ville. “The other individuals are guides employed by Mark V. Outfitters,” according to the statement. “(They) would act as guides and outfitters for the hunter clients.” The men are accused of “providing guiding, outfitting and other services for money which resulted in the unlawful taking and selling of wildlife with a market value in excess of $350.” The illegal hunting and killing of big game, including elk, allegedly occurred in the Valles Caldera National Preserve and “other public lands” in New Mexico. Such activities are prohibited by the Lacey Act, a federal statute that forbids the sale, purchase or transportation of illegally taken game. Violations committed by individuals are punishable by five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Organizations that violate the act may be fined up to $500,000. Colin Clem and the other defendants were reportedly arraigned on the federal charges last Friday. Local allegations As a result of the federal investigation, Virginia Game Warden Bruce Lemmert asked for a search warrant to be executed at Colin Clem’s home last week. “On Dec. 14, 2004, Dan Rolince, Special Agent for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, filed an application and affidavit for a search warrant for the residence (in Linden),” Lemmert said in his affidavit for search - SperryvilleAntiques Market 25th Anniversary Celebration ■$; m.

Authorities obtained a federal search warrant and searched the premises on Dec. 15, 2004, he said. They found Colin Clem’s personal journals and photograph albums. “The journals of Colin Clem cite numerous instances of illegal activity with respect to fish and wildlife violations in Virginia,” Lemmert stated in the affidavit. Dozens of journal entries documenting the alleged hunting violations, including unlawful baiting and trapping, are included in the affidavit. Based on those entries, Lemmert requested permission to look for evidence of local hunting violations. Specifically, he sought permission to look for traps, rifles and “any receipts, cancelled checks, or credit card transaction records that could show purchases of salt, minerals, com, other grain, apples or other fruit that could be used for baiting wildlife.” In the affidavit, Lemmert also sought permission to look for additional items, including animals that had been killed by Colin and •Jeremy Clem (Colin Clem’s son) between 1996 and 2004. One of the entries, allegedly written on Dec. 23, 1998, documents the killing of a bobcat. “Jeremy and Shawn hunted on the park above Flint Hill. Jeremy saw seven bears. Two big ones,” the entry states. “One was 20’ (sic) away when a bobcat jumped up on a rock 15’ feet away. It growled at him and then squatted down. Jeremy shot him with his 30-06. He has a lot of spots and weighed 30 lbs (sic).” The bobcat killing mentioned in the entry was “unlawful” because it was apparently shot in Shenandoah National Park where, according to Lemmert, no hunting is allowed. Another journal entry allegedly documents Colin Clem , killing a mountain lion in New Mexico on Feb. 28, 1998. In a separate entry, Colin Clem allegedly documents Jeremy Clem killing a mountain lion in New Mexico in January 2000 and “receiving the specimen at Colin’s house on May 5, 2000.” In the affidavit, Lemmert states that New Mexico Game Warden Jim Comins told him “neither Colin Clem nor Jeremy Clem had a lawful license to hunt mountain lion on the specified dates and therefore the animals would be unlawful. Colin Clem documents working on his mountain lion skull on March 5, 1998 and March 26, 1998.” Lemmert also noted that Virginia state law “forbids the import or possession of wild animals unlawfully taken outside of Virginia.” It is unknown whether Colin Clem, who has reportedly retained Warrenton attorney Blair Howard to represent him, will be charged in connection with any of the alleged violations here. Howard did not return phone calls seeking comment. Tom Smith, an assistant commonwealth’s attorney from Culpeper County who has apparently been designated as a special prosecutor in the matter, declined to comment.

It will arrive on Memorial Day and is anticipated to be •A. quite loud. It is hoped that everyone will take notice of its boisterous nature and be jolted, at least momentarily, as it comes with a message. Several thousand bikers will be riding into Washington, D.C., many through and from Rappahannock County. Joining forces with other riders from across the country, Rolling Thunder — Ride for Freedom, will amass in our nation’s capitol to remember and to reconnect with others in celebrating this country’s past and current soldiers. Formed in 1987 by several veterans who wanted to “shake things up,” Rolling Thunder is committed to rallying in Washington, D.C. on Memorial Day until all POWs and MIAs are accounted for in this country. While we mourn the fallen, we cannot forget the piany soldiers from other wars, like Vietnam, that are imprisoned or still listed as missing in action. Rolling Thunder’s major function is to publicize the POW-MIA issue. To educate the public of the fact that many American prisoners of war were left behind after all past wars, lb help correct the past and to protect the future veterans from being left behind should they become prisoners of war-missing in action. They are committed to helping American veterans from all wars. So if you hear thunder this weekend hopefully it will be from the noise of motorcycle engines as thousands of bikers roar into Washington, D.C. from across this state and the country. Take notice. Remember. The Rappahannock News welcomes Letters to the Editor from its readers as a forum for discussion of local public affairs subjects. WRITE: Letters to the Editor, P.O. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747 EMAIL: ashermcin@timespapers.com Letters to the editor Photo by Richard Lykes Marine honor guards prepare to fire Letters Staying connected in a changing world Change — it occurs as each day turns to night: in the garden, in the woods, in our bodies and minds. We grow — we can evolve. As changes in our business community begin picking up pace our personal priorities become clearer and clearer. What do we as a community need to feel well and secure? As Rae’s Deb closes we are reminded of our needs. Maybe I am speaking for myself, but I think not. We need easy places to meet, to cross paths, to feel related to others who live in this community—to share this living we are doing. It is not the place we meet that is important — but that we do. People meet one another in many places in Rappahannock — at the bank (boo-hiss on its move and the wrenching feeling many experienced during that change) or the post office (thankfully, still in each town), the co-op, video store or at the cafe. Which leads me to food....the favorite room in our house despite the changes that occur in a family over 20years-old, is still the kitchen. Food shared in a relaxed atmosphere is the baseline for our healthy feeling of connection. I am glad Rae is still “in business” because she will continue to reflect what works — doing business with heart is what works in any community, big or small. I trust that a smart business knows this and will continue to make efforts to support and be supported by the community. I trust, too, that she knows we still need our “Five Easy Pieces!” We all win together when the connection among us is recognized daily. Barbara Sherwood Washington What a grand party it was! The TVinity Church Garden Guild wishes to thank all those who helped make our fourth annual “Great Spring Garden Party” our most successful to date. First and foremost, our thanks go to Mr. John Anderson for inviting us to give the party at his Jessamine Hill Farm, one of the loveliest venues in the county. We also thank Rappahannock Cellars for enabling us to feature their wines at the event. Our raffle donation to the Headwaters camp program for agriculture and gardening was made possible by the provision of beautiful trees and shrubs from Eastwood’s Japanese Maple Nursery, Goat Hill Farm, and Persimmon Springs Farm. And we most heartily thank all those who came to our party with such enthusiasm and merriment, who helped hold off the rain until the end, and who contributed so handsomely to the Garden Guild’s endowment fund. We thank you most particularly for your role in assuring the continuance of the gar dens in future for the benefits and pleasure of both Trinity Church and the village and community at large. And for those who were unable to attend but who nonetheless contributed generously, we send you our heartfelt appreciation and the hope of seeing you next year—at our Glorious Fifth! Katherine Bull Homeowners appreciate help We would like to thank Amy Hitt for her ' unceasing work to help us contain the dust in Carter Lane to Stuart Ballfield used by Rappahannock Athletic Association. We thank Superior Asphalt Company for their generosity in paving beyond our houses. Our sincere thanks to both. Jim and Catherine Paul Amissville GED Class of 2005 graduation — a success! On behalf of Regional Adult Education, I would like to thank the following people for their part in making the GED Graduation for the Class of 2005 a success: Mike Robinson, assistant superintendent for Orange County Schools, for delivering a warm welcome to the graduates, their families and friends; Del. Ed Scott for keeping everything running smoothly as the Master of Ceremonies; Bob MacGillivray, GED Administrator, for his commencement address; Kim Jebson, Director of Culpeper Literacy Council, for preparing the GED graduates for the ceremony and Terri Larsen, GED instructor; for her musical repertoire during the ceremony and reception. Additionally, I would like to thank GED instructors, Clysta Walters, for her closing comments, Susan Fox, for the reading of GED graduate names, the Culpeper Literacy Council board members for their donation of home-baked cookies and serving for the reception lines, RLCC # 7 for their donation of punch, and Wal-Mart for the donation of “Race to GED” cakes. Finally, I would like to thank the GED instructors in Culpeper, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock counties for making this graduation a success. You have put in long hours and given so much more than required to make sure your students are successful when they test. You are the best and I thank you for your efforts. Margaret Buraker Director, Regional Adult Education for PD # 9 if I d known you were coming, I d have baked a cake Among the many delights of living in Rappahannock County are the nice people who live and work here. The newlyopened Apple Hill Bakery is one such example. A few weeks ago, very early on a Friday morning, I came into the bakery for a quick cup of coffee and breakfast sandwich, running late to meet my nephew at the University of Virginia hospital where he was scheduled to have wrist surgery. This same nephew, along with his cousin, was to graduate the next morning from James Madison University. The graduation party was to be at my house, but since the surgery was unexpected, and his parents weren’t able to get to the hospital in time, I was going to use the day I had set aside for cooking and cleaning waiting in the hospital instead. So as I hurriedly paid for the coffee, I, with little hope, asked the owner Wayne Waller if there were any way he could prepare a cake, for 30 people, to be ready by early the next day! He hesitated, and said that while they usually needed a few days notice... He shrugged, picked up the phone, and called his daughter. I could sense the long pause on her end, but Wayne looked at me and said sure, she would do it. What did I need on it? I was eyeing the door and calculating in my mind rush hour traffic in Charlottesville. It’s for a graduation party, I said, James Madison University. I apologized for not knowing the colors, or anything else about it. He could see that I was in a hurry, so he said fine, and I raced out. The next afternoon, I picked up a huge cake with — purple and gold icing. They had checked the internet, and finally called down to JMU to get the colors right! My sister had picked up a cake on her way down from Maryland that she had ordered from a grocery store. It was a good cake, but the colors were — yellow and blue...close, but not quite right. The Apple Hill cake was beautiful, the on-target JMU colors were the hit of the afternoon and when all was over, everyone asked to take home pieces of the Apple Hill cake. Needless to say, I was left with the grocery store cake. My appreciation to the Waller family is not just due to the cake being reasonably priced, exceptionally good and the decorations perfect. It is also their kindhearted response to me at a stressful moment, their willingness to put forth extra effort to help a neighbor, and their overall cheerful, community-oriented approach to their business. Thank you so much Apple Hill! You are one of the benefits of living in Rappahannock. Mary Katherine Ishee Sperryville From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News Down Memory Lane 40 YEARS AGO May 27,1965 The Womans Missionary Union of Forest Grove Baptist Church honored two of its long time members Sunday with special ceremonies at the church. Miss Mary Bruce and Mrs. Carrie Corbin, who had served as p: 3sident and treasurer, respectively, for many years, were given pins in appreciation of their long and steadfast devotion to the W.M.U.

Garden Club members had previously put in a hard morning’s work removing sod and weeds from around the trees and ground cover they had planted at the center, and placing mulch around the trees. Recreation committee members had mowed the grass and cleaned out the fireplaces. Garden Club members hope that other groups will enjoy using the recreation center and that they will help to keep the center clean. Paul F. Wiley of Amissville recently won the honorary title of “colonel” by completing a two-week, 130-hour course from the Mendenhall School of Auctioneering in High Point, North Carolina. As part of his training, Wiley conducted two auction sales at the school and passed the state of North Carolina’s auctioneering exam. 10 YEARS AGO May 31,1995 Saturday was a joyous day for the local Habitat for Humanity effort. The midday program where the county’s first Habitat for Humanity house was built for Barbara Shanks and her family began with project coordinator Bob Darby welcoming everybody and saying this marked a, “Great day for comm unity..and a great day for Christians,” who had the opportunity to five Christ’s message in working on the project. About 300 people responded and contributed to the effort, he said. Trinity Episcopal Church’s minister Jennings Hobson ffl offered the invocation and Nan Butler, David Clanagan and members of the First Baptist Church sang “Your Grace and Mercy Brought Me Through.” Gray Ghost Vineyards received a bronze medal for its 1994 ' Chardonnay in the Vintage Virginia competition held at the Prince Michel Winery on May 9.

This becomes the second wine from Gray Ghost to receive a medal. COMPILED BY ROTH PURNELL

Jessamine Hill played host for the Society’s benefit LOOKING SOUTH: Along with authentic music from the Old South, there were a number of “historical vignettes” of interest to Civil War buffs, including encampments and an antique cannon, lectures by Major Robert Randolph (David Goetz), and visits by such Civil War icons as Robert E. Lee — here played by George Wells of Madison. Photos by Richard Lykes DARLIN’ DOCENTS: The Rappahannock Historical Society provided a number of docents to guide visitors through the large house and answer questions about the furniture and antiques. Pictured here are Dee Parker, Lucia Kilby, and Jean Morris — all dressed in original costumes of the period. CADDY ON THE HILL: Among ihe many treats of the day at the Historical Society’s benefit at Jessamine Hill Farm was John Anderson’s antique automobile collection. Pictured here on the lawn, looking up at the party on the terrace is a striking royal blue 1926 Cadillac limousine. By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Thanks to a host of favorable factors, including a perfect spring day with bright sun and blue skies, the Rappahannock Historical Society’s annual fundraising benefit held this past Saturday at historic Jessamine Hill Farm met all expectations of the organization. Its success is a special tribute to the hard work of so many people, including the organizers and volunteers, the generous business people of Rappahannock county who donated food for the sumptuous buffet, and the extraordinary hospitality of the farm’s owner, John Anderson and his family. The principal goal of the Society in holding its annual benefit was to raise much-needed funds to sustain the work of this organization that is so important to our community, its roots and its future. Equally important in the group’s planning was to provide an entertaining venue to educate the public about the history of Rappahannock County and to interest our citizens in the work of the Society. To help the organization achieve these goals, the benefit provided live music from the Civil War era (by “Evergreen Shade”), a series of historical “re-enactments” organized on the sweeping grounds of Jessamine Hill, and docent-guided tours of the beautifully restored 1830s home. An added bonus was the opportunity to admire several restored antique automobiles belonging to John Anderson that were on display — including a royal blue 1926 Cadillac limousine and a 1929 Model A Ford. With all the hoop skirts and bonnets of the docents and striking period costumes worn by the Virginia Calvary officers, it was easy to imagine that one was strolling on the grounds of a successful 1800s Virginia plantation. Everywhere one looked there were beautiful unspoiled vistas of fields and mountains with little or no hint of the 21st century as far as the eye could see. The icing on the cake for many guests was an appetizing buffet of fine foods donated for the benefit by generous Rappahannock County restaurants and businesses. Both the Historical Society and its guests enjoyed the tasty refreshments. Among those contributing their delectable offerings were the Apple Hill Bakery, E-Cow, Gay Street Inn, Griffin Tavern, The Country Cafe, The Inn at Little Washington, The Public House, Thornton River Grille, and Sunnyside Farms. Special thanks went to Col. John Bourgeois, president of the Rappahannock Historical Society, who provided the wine, and to Joan Herrema and Donna Kevis for their finishing touches in the kitchen. SOUTHERN BELLE: Among the wellinformed docents guiding guests through the manor house at Jessamine Hill Farm was Alice Anderson, owner John Anderson’s sister, who is very knowledgeable about the property and its past. Anderson appears here in an authentic hoop skirt dress and bohnef.

After completing their lessons, they are now building a wigwam on the school grounds, in traditional fashion, similar to the ones Natives who lived in this area would have created. Native Americans of Virginia used specific methods to gather the saplings, honoring the life of the each tree they cut with song and prayer. The children incorporated these traditional rituals into their building project where they used tobacco leaves to give back to Mother Earth for each tree they gathered. The children then tied the saplings together with twine in a dome shaped structure with the door facing east and have made stakes to hold it firmly in place. It is visible as you travel along Route 211 west of Sperryville to the left of the main Hearthstone School building. Kathy Kiley, a local woman who has extensively studied the way of life of Native Americans, was used a consultant for the project.

Their topic was college access and for those students and parents who were unable to attend, the following is what was covered at that meeting. What is the first step? Decide what college you might want to attend. Don’t worry about the money. Yet. Visit schools. Try to visit during the week when school is in session. Look up schools on their websites. Decide if you want a small school (lots of individual attention) or a large school (exposure to a more diverse student body and class offerings); urban or rural; 2year or 4-year; academic or vocational. Virginia is arguably one of the best states to go to college in. Five of the top fifty “Best Buys” in “U.S. News and World Report” are in Virginia. (UVA, William and Mary, VA Tech, JMU, and Mary Washington.) Look at ExploreVirginiaColleges.com and VirginiaMentor.org. Look at collegeboard.com nnd collegeanswer.com. What if I have no idea what I want to study? Most students don’t know. Is it essential that they know? No. Is it essential that they are thinking about it? Yes. The web is a great resource for care6r and personality information. Look at virginiaview.com, petersons.com, collegeboard.com, humanmetrics. com, and princetonreview.com. Talk to people about their school experience and career choices. Again, visit schools. Most schools offer tours and informational meetings at no cost. Many have “open houses.” In two hours they’ll cover everything from the meal plan to programs of study to athletics. In the fall, look for college fairs and college nights. We are not large enough to house them at the high school, but Fauquier, Culpeper and Winchester will have them. Admissions directors from every college in Virginia and many from the surrounding states will be there. How do I find out about college fairs, college visits, and scholarship deadlines? A great resource is Mr. Gochenour’s monthly newsletter on-line at www.rappahannock.kl2.va.us. Click on “High School,” and then on “Guidance.” He lists scholarship deadline information, college links, testing information and more. Also,- the Next Step office is starting an email list for parents and student — you send us your email address and we will send you one brief monthly update on deadlines and opportunities. What are the different ways of applying to schools? “Rolling Admission” happens mostly at private schools. They have a priority date (usually around March 15), but they accept students throughout the year. “Early Admission” can be binding (at William and Mary or UVA, for example, meaning that if you get in, you have to go) or nonbinding (at JMU, for example, where you do not have to accept). The deadline for both is usually around November 1. The deadline for “Regular” Admission is usually January 1st or 15th or February 1. The application fee averages between $30 to $40. You can apply on-line or on paper. Some colleges give an incentive for on-line applications. What about community colleges? Should I go to community college first and then transfer to a 4year school? What is the application process? Community College is a good option for students that need a transition from high school to college. It is relatively inexpensive and close to home. But, if you are only going because you don’t feel like filling but applications in See COLLEGE, Page A7 Heroes From Page A1 those who died fighting in the war. It is now celebrated in almost every state on the last Monday in May, passed by Congress with the National Holiday Act of 1971 to ensure a three-day weekend for federal holidays. On this day, as a National Holiday, we honor the memory of those who have died while in the military service of the United States of America. It is also fitting that we remember all those who have died for the cause of freedom, whatever country they are from, we are all one family and we share each other’s destiny on this earth. Sometimes it is called Poppy Day. In 1915 Moina Michael conceived of the idea to wear a red poppy on Memorial Day in honor of those who died serving their nation during war. She was the first to wear one, and sold poppies to her friends, with the money she got going to benefit servicemen in need. Many Americans have forgotten the meaning and traditions of Memorial Day.

To help re-educate and remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, The National Moment of Remembrance resolution was passed in December 2000 which asks that at 3 p.m. local time for all Americans to observe in their own way a moment of remembrance and respect, taking time out from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence. In addition to enjoying the day off from work we all can observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries and placing flags or flowers on the graves of our fallen heroes, by visiting memorials, by flying the U.S. flag at half staff until noon, by participating in a “National Moment of Remembrance” at 3 p.m. or even plant a tree, a rose or even sow wildflowers in memory of a lost one. Let’s remember our great soldiers who laid down their lives for the cause of humanity so that we can live and grow in a healthy and peaceful environment. We can share with our children the real purpose of Memorial Day. While it is fun to go on picnics or camping, children should still be taught the true meaning of this holiday and why we recognize Memorial Day. Remember they are the future of tomorrow. Let’s join hands on Memorial Day to pay tribute to these soldiers with our family and our loved ones and friends. This is a very special day. EMS From Page A1 Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue squad for the past two years, credited Roger Roach for being a strong catalyst for much of the work that she is carrying on. “Roger put many of the programs that we have today in motion,” said Spieker. Leggett additionally praised Spieker for extending the role of the EMS. “Ann has gone beyond...caring for the families as well as the patient in times of emergency,” noted Leggett who said they receive some 400 emergency calls a year with a large percentage being “advanced life support” calls meaning the victim has stopped breathing, is having a heart attack, or is in dire need of assistance. Spieker is anxious to get another emergency vehicle to replace one of their current fleet of two. “We’ve got some fundraising going on,” stressed Spieker who noted that they need to raise over $70,000 by November. Spieker cradled the distinctive plaque gently. “We’re going to find a special place to hang it. This is a major award. We’re very proud.” Anita Sherman may be reached at asherman@timespaners.com

However, Rapp’s Alex Sharp got on base with a lead-off single, followed by a Blake Yowell triple to deep left to score Sharp for the game tie. An error for the Mustangs scored Yowell on a wild pitch to win the contest for the Panthers. Rapp’s Carl Thornhill lead ✓ the hitting for the night, going 2:3 while Yowell, who also went 2:3 added two RBI’s. Jason Jenkins picked up the win on the mound, pitching 6 and one-third innings while striking out 11, walking four and allowing no hits. The Panthers overall Bull Run District record now 7-3, giving it a first-round bye in the district tourney.

Fire Benders down Madison in U-12 soccer The Fire Benders, Rappahannock Soccer Association’s U-12 girls’ team overcame a strong Madison team Saturday, 3-1. Madison claimed the first goal of the game, with the Fire Benders answering quickly as Joslyn Smith evened the score, 1 1, then upping the score again before the end of the first half of play, for the Fire Benders, 2-1 lead. In the first half, Peyton Bailey defended the Fire Bender goal, assisted by Caitlin Humbles, Haley Hogan, Maria Lee, Brittany Stephens, Taylor Langley, Alice Silva and Christine Kelly on defense. The second half of play brought Amy Cooper to the goalie position. Fire Bender Jessica Boutte scored the final goal of the game, boosting the RSA team’s win, 3-1. College From Page A6 the fall, that’s not a good enough reason. The retention rates are not as good as at 4year schools. That said, community college offers courses not offered at other schools — nursing, welding, horticulture, auto mechanics, police science. It also offers 2year associates degree programs, some of which are designed to transfer to 4-year schools. The application for Community College does not require an essay and does not have a deadline. Advice: Get your application in before the end of your senior year to be sure you get the classes that you want. Also: take the SAT. You may be able to use your score to place out of courses in community college. Is there a minimum GPA that the colleges are looking for? No. Each school is different. What do colleges want to see? Colleges, first and foremost, want to see a student that has challenged themselves academically and done well. What is “well?” At least a “B.” If you get a “C” does that mean you won’t get in? No, not necessarily. If you get four C’s and a D, it probably means that you’re not going to William and Mary. And no amount of extracurricular activities is going to change that. Do SAT scores matter? How do I raise my score? Yes, they matter. It’s the only way that an admissions officer can compare Freddy in California with Sandy in New York. Is it a great test? No. Is it one tool of many that admissions officers look at in weighing each candidate? Yes. Just by taking it more than once, your score will go up, on average, 40 points. There are books available in the libraries. Mr. Mello offers a free course on Saturday mornings in the spring. There’s free help on-line at prepme.org and collegeboard.com. What about this new SAT? What's different and how are schools using it? They got rid of analogies, increased the math, and added a writing section. Most schools, if they use it, won’t use it until next year. Right now they are gathering data, trying to figure it out. The cost of the tesf has gone up and results are coming back three days later than with the old test. Advice: For adults, if you have a background in English or writing, contact the College Board. They are paying good money for readers. What if I can’t afford the application and testing fees? If you are already involved in a federally subsidized program, you can get an SAT fee waiver form from Mr. Gochenour. Many public universities also have a fee waiver system for the application fee. Each school handles it differently. Talk to Mr. Gochenour. Should I take AP and dual-enrollment classes? That depends on who you are and where you want to go. Again, the top schools want to see you taking college level courses and they want to see you doing well in them. That tells them that you can handle their workload. Does that mean that all the wonderful, non-academic things that 1 have done in my life don’t matter? No. It all figures in. Some colleges want recommendations, some don’t. Advice: One of the biggest myths around is “That thing you did once — that afternoon you spent as a study hall proctor in the 7th grade — that’ll look good on a college application.” No. It won’t. Colleges want to see you go in depth with a few activities. Quality not quantity. They don’t want a threepage laundry list going back to 1992. They do want a wellrounded student because wellrounded students tend to do well in school and in life. Pick three or four things that mean something to you. What about that “D” I got as a sophomore. How will that affect my chances? Colleges are not going to be happy about that D, but they do like to see a progression. They look more closely at the junior year and senior year grades. The essay might be a good place to explain that D. Are colleges worth the price? Some tuitions are $15,000 and those are the cheap ones. College is expensive. But for most everyone, some form of post-high school education is definitely worth it. Students that graduate from college earn an average of $1 million more than those that only have a high school diploma. College grads are, overall, healthier people with more career options and fallbacks. The knowledge gained, from a 2-year school or a 4-year school, gives grad “Rebel” $2,995 Financing available.

How can anyone afford college? Financial Aid. The government and the colleges offer 1. Grants (you don’t have to pay them back), 2. Work-study (you work for the money), and 3. Loans (you pay the money back, but not while you are in school.) The federal form (The Free Application for Federal Student Aid — FAFSA) is free to submit. Advice: Send it in as close to January 1 as you can, even if you have to estimate your income. “Better early and wrong than late and right.” This form gets sent to colleges so that they can determine your financial aid package. The earlier they get it, the more money they have to give out. And, you can always make adjustments. Advice: Fill the form out online if you can. Go to fafsa.ed.gov. Less errors, faster turn around, easier to fill out next year. And the year after. Each year that you are in school, you will have to fill out this form. What about private schools? They are so expensive. Should I even bother applying? Yes. Absolutely. Private schools have endowments, state grants, and scholarships. Some (Harvard, Yale, UVA, UNC, for example) have policies that low-income students don’t pay any tuition at all. Do I have to report any scholarship money that I receive to the college? Yes. Is there a lot of money out there for students? Yes. Is it easy to get? No. Does some of it go unused? Yes. FastWeb.com is one of the best resources for scholarships. Also finaid.org. Again, local scholarships are your best bet. See Mr. Gochenour’s online monthly newsletter for deadlines. Do I have to pay the tuition in a lump sum? No. Most schools have payment plans. Most financial aid departments are working hard to be flexible. They do not want lack of money to be a deterrent. When are Mr. Gochenour and Ms. Hope available? Mr. Gochenour is at the school Monday-Friday. Call 987-8575 or email jlgochenour@rappahannock.kl2.v a.us. Ms. Hope is in the Next Step office across from the auditorium at RCHS Monday, Wednesday, and Friday ll-4pm and by appointment, nights and weekends.

Wandering aimlessly in the woods It really is no wonder at all that I am not a good morel hunter. There is just too much to see in the woods this time of year for me to focus on just the delicious morel. In fact, my son refers to my hunting trips for the mushroom as wandering aimlessly in the woods. But, for instance, just consider this — I cross a tiny stream from a spring somewhere, and I immediately set about, seeing if I can find any stick bait. And, here, my naturalist friends will smile a knowing smile. That’s Okay. My uncle, Robert Nethers, told me they were stick bait, and that’s what they are! Or, as Huck Finn said, as he decided the right thing to do was to stick up for his friend Jim, a slave, “All right, then. Ill just go to hell.” Seriously, stick bait are the natural larval form of a caddis fly or a may fly or one of those bugs that lives it larval life as an aquatic bug, then hatches into a winged creature. (That’s when all the fly fisherman try Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com to “match the hatch.”) But they are neat to find. Depending on the time of the year, you might just find the tiny ‘stick’ and the bait has flown the coop. This little creature secretes a sticky goo. and, with that, glues tiny stones together to make an underwater cocoon, of sorts. Uncle Robert said they made the best bait for fish that lived in the streams where the stick bait lived. Now, that is a fact of which I am certain.. And, oh, the beautiful wildflowers. The showy orchids (or, orchis) have been absolutely resplendent this year. No one can deny the beauty of this wildflower. And the blood wort, may apples, fiddle head ferns, and the hepatica, and the pip sissewa. I know it is probably spotted wintergreen, put pipsissewa (pip-siss-ah-wah) just rolls off the tongue so much better. And I have already spotted rattlesnake plantain. There will be more of that to follow. And the wild geraniums are everywhere. I must draw your attention to one particular fern. Linda says it is maiden hair fern, and that is probably right. But, the amazing thing is how it looks against the forest floor, particularly when there has been a recent rain and the leaf cover is darker. You see, the stem of this fern is a shiny, jet black, and the tiny green leaflets of the fern seem to be floating in the air. It is gorgeous. Enough of the flora. Last Sunday, on a hike in the Blue Ridge, besides finding some huge black bear tracks that looked like the model for the Boy Scout Manual, right there in the middle of an almost dried up wet weather stream, was a beautiful spring lizard, brilliant in its orange-red spotted skin. Okay, I am pretty certain that it is not a lizard, at all, but some form of spotted salamander. But, its color is so spectacular that it looks like an aberration of nature. I have been told that they were called spring lizards by the old folks because it was said that if you had one of these in your spring, you could be certain the water was good to drink, because they would not live in springs with bad water. And, just so you know, in the context of this article, spring is not a season that follows winter. Spring is a hole in the ground from which water flows. That’s how we know that when Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water, they got that water from a well. If they had gotten it at a spring, they would have gone down the hill to fetch that pail of water. And, finally, two weeks ago I had my first mess of poke salad. (You know, “Poke salad Annie; gator got your Granny.”) Sad, but true, I was hunting morels and found none, but happened upon a whole bunch of pokeweed. We know that when the poke bush matures, and has those clusters of purple berries that stain the kids clothes, that those berries and the roots of this weed are poisonous. However, when the shoots are very small, they can be gathered before the color is evident, boiled in at least two changes of water, and eaten as greens. Bringing my treasure home, I got on the phone and called two people I could rely upon as experts. Mabel Lillard, my aunt, told me they were her mother’s favorite green, and cautioned me not to cook them very long. When she told me that, I had this flash of a memory, that when I was a kid I used to hunt them for her mother, my Aunt Pearl, who lived just across the road from us. Ellen Welch, the writer’s mother-in-law, gave me much the same advice, and also told me I would probably find them a bit strong. I added a teaspoon or so of bacon grease and a pinch of baking soda, which we always put in the dry land cress to make it tender. The outcome— the greens were pretty good. I apparently cooked them just a tad too long, and they were so tender, they didn’t need the baking soda. Actually, had I had some mashed potatoes and stewed tomatoes to go with them, and some combread, they would have been even better. But, I’m not sure when I’ll get to enjoy them again. My wife came home while they were cooking, “What is that smell?” I think she thought I was boiling another deer head in one of her good cooking pots. Until next time, stay well, and try to find a little time to wander aimlessly in the woods. Because of you no one needs to face cancer alone or without hope The sun did shine on Rappahannock’s annual Relay for Life which took place Saturday, May 21 and Sunday, May 22 at Rappahannock County Elementary School. The walkers greeted the sun and nice weather with so much enthusiasm. The Relay for Life is the annual fund raising event of the Rappahannock County unit of the American Cancer Society. It is an opportunity both to pay tribute to loved ones and friends who have struggled with cancer and to help fight a disease that claims so many lives. A good way to participate is to join or sponsor a team or generously contribute to a team from year to year. A word of appreciation goes out to the Board of Directors of the Rappahannock County Unit of the American Society, committee members and volunteers that year after year give countless hours of their Washington Jan Clatterbuck 675-3338 jclatterbuck@ tjmespapers.com time and energy to make this event so wonderful that it always is. Let’s remember that “Relay for Life” is a relay without a finish line until a cure for cancer is found. Third Annual High Tea Don’t forget the Episcopal Churchwomen of Trinity Episcopal Church will hold their third annual high tea on Sunday, May 29 at 3 p.m. in the church parish hall. This is always a fun event, punctuated with much laughter and fellowship while enjoying traditional high tea refreshments. The ladies are encouraged to bring a special tea cup and share its history or significance with the others at their table, although this is not a requirement. While hats have sadly fallen from grace, this year all the ladies might want to search their closets and attics and resurrect a forgotten chapeau and, in this instance, bigger is certainly better. Buckle up It’s all been said before for a simple reason: It’s the enduring truth. Let’s be careful out there. On Memorial Day weekend we should remember the dead and help prevent further loss. Buckle up and enjoy the long awaited weekend? Happy Memorial Day to all readers. If you do forget to buckle up, the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department will be out in full force to remind you as the county’s “Click-It-Or Ticket” programs begins Friday with law enforcement at increased levels throughout the weekend. Celebration of the joy and benefits of the active lifestyle What is May Month? It’s a celebration of the joy and benefits of the active lifestyle. Since 1983, the nation has observed National Physical Fitness and Sports Month during May. Proclaiming a special month to promote physical activity and fitness is a way to offer everyone a special incentive to adopt and maintain an active lifestyle for health and greater productivity as well as happiness and fun. May Month is for organizations in the public and private sector, as well as for individuals, families, employees in the workplace, groups and organizations, and communities. Why May? Spring is in full bloom, it’s nature’s time for renewal. Inspired by the season’s changes, we too are encouraged to start out with new beginnings. With summer just ahead, fun and new adventures beckon at the beach and in the mountains, at the pool, or the tennis court. All offer physical activity and fitness opportunities for you and your family, friends, co-workers, and communities. To make the most of the magnificent outdoors and recreation opportunities of summer, we need to be ready to take part in the fun. Let’s commit now to a program of regular physical activity not only for the month of May, but for months to come as well. If we move for 30 minutes a day every day we will be on our way to an active summer of fun and fitness. Our sympathy goes out to James F. Massie, Sr. and family upon the death of his wife, Beverly Deane Ribble Massie of Amissville, who died on Friday, May 20 at her resident. Mrs. Massie served on the Rappahannock County School Board for 23 years and served as Chairman for 18 years. Our prayers and thoughts are with the family. Photo shoot For those driving past Phil Irwin’s Caledonia Farms on Monday, it was quite a sight to see the large RV and photo crew traipsing across the landscape. Lands End catalog was onsite, with models posing for the company’s fall/winter issue, using the Rappahannock County landscape as a backdrop. Unfortunately, no photos could be taken of the photoshoot, but it was fun to watch anyway. Memorial Day weekend music event in Sperryville Fans of Contemporary Christian Music, as well as those not familiar with the genre, will have an opportunity to enjoy this style of music performed by the local guitarists and vocalists who make up the group known as David’s Heart on Saturday, May 28 from 2-4 p.m. on the lawn of the Old Sperryville Bookshop. In the late 1990s a genre of music, unknown to most of America, began to push its way onto the popular music scene. Contemporary Chris Sperryville Nancy Ostinato 987-8444 oldsperryvillebookshop@igkle.net tian Music (CCM) traced its roots to Southern Gospel and Gospel music, but only began to be noticed by a larger audience when the music industry changed the way it tracked record sales. The introduction of electronic point-of-purchase sales tracking, which replaced historically unreliable telephone reports from record store employees, and the inclusion of tracking of music sales from Christian bookstores gave CCM increased visibility in popular culture as many artists, who had previously been unknown outside the Christian community, began to find themselves reaching more people. David’s Heart, also known as the praise team from Reynolds Memorial Baptist in Sperryville, is unique in that it includes adults as well as teens. Feel free to bring a lawn chair or blanket and spend the afternoon enjoying music outside the bookstore. The event is free and open to the public. Rae’s Deli The recent postings on Rappnet and gossip in Sperryville make it seem as if Sunnyside ran Rae’s Deli out of business. I spoke with Tamara Waldo of Sunnyside who explained that recent community support was simply not sufficient enough to maintain Rae’s in a separate space with all of the expenses such as utilities, staff, etc. “Rae’s menu will continue on, it will just be in a different location as we roll it into the Sunnyside building”, said Waldo. Waldo explained that the well known “egg McRae” will still be available inside the Burger Barn. In addition, other foods that customers couldn’t get before such as omelets and pancakes will be available. While hot foods will be found inside the Burger Bam, Rae’s cold deli sandwiches and pasta salads will be found in the ice cream shop as will the old booths that were in the former Rae’s Deli building. “I think that Rae would say that we took all the love that was Rae’s Deli and spread it all over the building,” said Waldo. Waldo also made it clear that Rae is still a food manager and will continue to play an active part in all that Sunnyside is doing.

Private sewage plant won’t find home in Rappahannock By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Planning Commission met with a standing-room-only crowd on May 18 with many residents prepared to speak for or against a special application made by Tony and Kelley Williams for a private sewage treatment plant. The facility would be for a new home construction the couple has planned in Chester Gap. However, despite a considerable narrative by Bryan T. Chrisman, a systems design engineer with Racey Engineering Services of Luray, Virginia, explaining the procedures of a private sewage plant that would be installed by the company for the Williams’, the Planning Commission denied recommendation to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors for this application. “Between the public and the commission members, I believe all questions have been asked and answered,” said Charles Strittmatter, of Flint Hill, chairman of the county’s planning commission, “About a year ago we were preparing the Comprehensive Plan and in chapter six it refers to we, the people of Rappahannock County. The comprehensive plan is only as good as what we do with it and I believe that this special exception before us could be detrimental to the goals we have set. The health department has approved this system, but not for this specific site and given what I have heard tonight, I make a motion for the Planning Commission to recommend to the Board of Supervisors denial of SE#0503-03, Williams Private Sewage Treatment Plant.” Alex Sharp, the Board of Zoning Appeals member who also sits on the County Planning Commission, was the only member to oppose the denial. Therefore, the decision to deny the Williams’ application was approved by a majority vote of the members. In additional old business on the commission’s agenda, a special use permit for the Alvin and Lori Dore family apartment application was unanimously approved by the Planning Commission. The Dore’s application appropriated for an apartment to be built over a threecar garage which does have a separate access from the garage and does conform with all other county ordinances according to the commission. Tourist home approved A narrow 4-3 vote approved application of transforming a residential home in Sperryville into a tourist home for up to six persons. The application was made by Barbara Adolfi of Sperryville for the house located at 14 Water Street. Thomas Junk, planning commissioner representing the Piedmont District where Sperryville is located, made a motion to recommend approval of the application based on the following: • There would be four designated parking spaces, designated by sign or curb style. • A screen covering on the commercial side of the property- ty• The applicant followed all county ordinance on lighting issues. However, Alvin Heniy, Jr., planning commissioner from Amissville requested that there be no outdoor activities for more than 14 people — a request that the applicant agreed to. Since Juqk did not include that stipulation in his motion, Henry, Strittmatterand Ronald L. Frazier, the Board of Supervisor’s representative on the Planning Commission, all opposed the application. Raymond L. Brown, Sr., vice-chairman of the commission, Thomas F. Tepper, commissioner from Castleton, Sharp and Junk all voted in approval to recommend the application to the Board of Supervisors. Next on the commission’s agenda was an application made by Joyce C. and Ann W. Harman of 1214 North Poe’s Road, Flint Hill for a special use zoning permit to build a main house on the property. There is an existing house, approximately 1,100 squarefeet as well as a family apartment above a bam on the property. However, Joyce Harman has proposed that the current apartment would become an office space, and the existing' house would become a family apartment. “I cannot find a location for the dwelling without conflicts,” Harman said in public forum before the commission, regarding the proposal for a new main house to be built more them 200-feet from the family apartment. According .to County Administrator John McCarthy, this proposal is not in accordance with the county’s building ordinances, therefore the application would need to go before the Board of Zoning Appeals to find a topographic condition why the house could not be built anywhere else on the property. Strittmatter made motion to deny recommendation to the Board of Zoning Appeals on this application, followed by a vote to deny by all members, except Sharp, who abstained from voting since the application would come before him as a BZA member. Final action taken by the Planning Commission was a special exception request for the Gillis Residential Care Facility on Jackson Lane in Boston, Virginia to expand from a six-room facility to an eight-room facility. Applicant David F. Gillis explained that when the assisted care facility was originally designed in 1999, it was appropriated and approved for an eight-bedroom facility. However, he had not wished to utilize the facility to it fullest capacity. Gillis is in the process of selling the facility and said that the purchasers are interested in the expansion. Gillis responded that the facility has passed annual fire marshal inspections as well as health department and Department of Social Service inspections since its opening. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve recommendation to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. RappFLOW’s first newsletter The Planning Commission welcomed Beverly Hunter, representative of the Rappahannock Friends and Lovers of Our Watershed (RappFLOW), who presented each commissioner with a copy of the group’s first printed newsletter. Hunter drew attention to several pages of the newsletter, noting how students from Rappahannock County High School have assisted in studies which have been, and currently are being conducted in a segment of the Thornton River, flowing south of Sperryville. She advised that a more in depth report would be available in the Planning Comr mission’s June 15, 2005 meeting as well as an exhibition that will be on display at the Rivers-n-Roots Festival in Sperryville on June 25.

Pictured from left to right: Bob Lowerre, Shenandoah County Democratic Committee Chairman; Linda Dietel, Rappahannock County Democratic Committee Chairman; David Tobey, Page County Democratic Committee Chairman; and Liz & Democratic Delegate Jim Blubaugh. Democrats announce Rapp resident for delegate race By Bob Lowerre Special to the Rappahannock News After an exhausting search, the Democrats got their man. At a special caucus on May 17, with the room packed, Democrats from Shenandoah, Page, Rappahannock and Rockingham counties met to select a candidate for 15th District Delegate to the Virginia Assembly. They chose James K. Blubaugh, a successful small businessman and retired federal executive from Rappahannock County. The 15th District is currently represented by Del. Allen L. Louderback, who has announced that he will not seek reelection. Blubaugh was director of budget operations for the U.S. Department of Commerce, assistant inspector general for the U.S. Department of State, and deputy chairman of intelligence tasking at the CLA, before retiring in 2002. Since then, he has been vice president of a small business specializing in providing high-end technical expertise. His wife, Elizabeth, is a former high school teacher, now a businesswoman and Foundation Board member for Lord Fairfax Community College. In a display of unity, Blubaugh was nominated by the Democratic chairs of all three major counties in the District. Linda Dietel, chair of the Rappahannock Democrats, said, “I have known Jim Blubaugh and his wife for over 20 years. They are active in the community and fine people besides.” Dietel recalled that she first met Blubaugh when they served together on the Board of the Rappahannock Child Care and Learning Center. “He was our treasurer and was instrumental in raising the funds needed to build a permanent facility. The beautiful building that is there now is a tribute to him and to the others like him.” David Tbbey, chair of the Page County Democratic Committee, added that, “Jim Blubaugh already has been all over Page County, meeting people and learning issues. He is a businessman, so he understands the importance of job creation. He is a hunter and fisherman who is sensitive to environmental issues in the Blue Ridge. And he is a fiscal conservative who believes in low taxes and who is against unfunded mandates that come down to our counties from Richmond.” “We like his farming roots,” noted Bob Lowerre, chair of the Shenandoah Democrats and former Associate Counsel to the House Agricultural Committee, referring to the fact that Blubaugh grew up in Kansas. “Jim is big on small town and country values. He understands that growth is necessary, but wants it to occur in a way that maintains our special heritage and that is friendly to farmers and families.” Blubaugh has been a Rappahannock County resident for 26 years. He and his wife have three children, including a son in the U.S. Navy. A daughter lives and works in Alexandria, and his youngest son is a senior at Rappahannock High School. In his acceptance speech, Blubaugh noted that the primary focus of his campaign will be representation. “Rural areas are often overlooked, and issues that are important to us — schools, families, growth, and maintaining our rural heritage and character — need to be fought for.” He went on to add that he would support the interests of “the valleys and the mountains and the hollows,” and that he was not here to further his career or to support special interests. “We all want what is best for our families and our neighbors. That is my campaign promise — I will work hard to represent the people who live here.” Blubaugh’s background and position on the issues can be found in more detail on his website www.JimBlubaughfor Delegate.com.

Veteran paddling 1000 miles for Cuba un ounaay, May 1, Kichard “Freeman” Allan, a Vietnamera veteran, began canoeing 1000 miles from Southwest Virginia to attend the National Summit on Cuba in Mobile, Alabama, June 10-11. Allan lived in Rappahannock County for 15 years, and was part of the community effort that created Mountain Magic Cinema and the Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community (RAAC). His trip began in a narrow Appalachian valley upstream from Saltville, VA, which was a vital Confederate logistics base during the Civil War. It continues into the upper Tennessee, with portages into Alabama’s Black Warrior, Cahaba and Tombigbee Rivers, and concludes in the historic port of Mobile the first week of June. “ I have just turned 60, and started realizing my time for this kind of little adventures is beginning to run short, “ said Allan, who plans to navigate using paddle and sail by day, and camp at river’s edge at night. “I grew up in Mobile, and am descended from the original founders of the Louisiana colony. Part of my reason for this journey is to paddle the same waters explored by my French-Indian ancestor Jean Baptiste Baudreau de Graveline in the mid-1700’s. Back then, Cuba gave assistance to both my ancestors and to Mobile itself. Now I believe Cuba needs and deserves American help.” Over the past several decades, Allan served in the Vietnam-era military, worked as a journalist, carpenter, textbook dealer, and prep school English teacher. For 25 years he operated SacredSource.com, a handcraft distribution network benefiting rural artisans in India. In addition, he has spent six-month or longer periods as a dugout fisherman with Ecuadorian Indians, a lay brother with Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, a Louisiana oilfield rigger, a trekker across the Andes, Himalayas and Appalachian Trail, and a commercial salmon-seining deckhand in Alaska. “Like many people, I guess I’ve just always wondered what lies beyond the next bend in the river,” said the gray-haired voyager. “But the fundamental reason I’m canoeing 1000 miles is to raise public awareness about Cuba. I’m proud that my hometown, Mobile, has been working for over 13 years to normalize relations, and highlight the tremendously positive and mutually beneficial trading potential between the two countries. We are fighting a very expensive war in Iraq to promote American core ideals of liberty and concern for the rights of oppressed people. If not for the power of a tiny, _ Photo courtesy of Jeanne Drevas INTREPID: Richard “Freeman” Allan, a former Rappahannock resident, began a 1000 mile canoeing adventure which will end in Mobile, Alabama at the National Summit on Cuba. wealthy Cuban lobby group in Miami, we could achieve those same goals for freedom, right here in our hemisphere, with the simple stroke of a pen.” In support of the Summit, Allan urges all patriotic Americans, to attend the Summit in Mobile and learn from experienced travelers what is really going on in Cuba. Allan plans to speak with outdoorsmen, townspeople and journalists he will encounter during his river-arc across the southeast. “I have already been promised help in Kingsport, TN, and by TVA lockmasters, and by canoeists in Guntersville, AL, Birmingham and Mobile,” he said. “I really hope this people-to-people approach will generate public discussion, and help break the political logjam that is keeping the common people of Cuba and America from reaffirming an old friendship. “Besides,” concluded Allan, “I have a paddler’s interest in the issue. I hear there are some wonderful waterways in Cuba, and I want the chance to visit there and explore them.” Rappahannock Relay raises over $55,000 for cancer research By Bette Mahoney Special to the Rappahannock News The sun did shi^e on the Rappahannock’s annual Relay for Life. The Relay took place just as scheduled Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning, May 21-22 at the Rappahannock Elementary School. The walkers greeted the sun with a great deal of enthusiasm.

For those who were unable to attend the earlier sold-out performance on Ki’s home stage, another chance awaits. Written by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, one of the best known dramatists of the late 19th century, both one-act plays are of the “love-conquers-all” genre with the antics of the would-be lovers said to resemble “Saturday Night Live” without the intellectual content. “The Marriage Proposal” is a farce in one act, telling the story of a nervous would-be suitor who comes to propose to a neighbor’s spinster daughter.

The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community is showing “Being Julia” at The Theatre in Washington, VA, Friday June 3, 8:00 p.m. Irons plays Michael Gosselyn, Julia’s director and manager, who is also, almost incidentally, her husband. Though they have a nearly grown son, their marital relations are, in Michael’s phrase, “terribly modem.” For male companionship, Julia favors Lord Charles (Bruce Greenwood), who declines to become her lover for reasons that become all too clear much later..

The film is actually a study of the five key relationships in Julia’s life: her lover, her husband, her gay male best friend (Brute Greenwood), her teenage son (Tom See MOVIE, Page B2 i x&'m&j sew* >1-1 v%fl»l > \tf: •• • 1 i-?- - * t.

Thomas Jackson and Amy Kellert Payette are the proud parents of a son, Thomas Jackson Payette II. Thomas was born February 1 at Culpeper Regional Hospital and weighed ten pounds and was 21.5- inches long. Other proud family members include his sister, Andrea and maternal grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Albert M. Kellert of Amissville. Paternal grandparents are Mrs. Elizabeth Tabor Payette of Rapidan and Dr. and Mrs. John Joy Payette, Jr. of Reva. Maternal greatgrandfather is Mr. Albert E. Kellert of Monmouth, Illinois. Movie From Page B1 Sturridge) and her dead mentor (Michael Gambonn), whose ghost is still very much a presence in her life. Bening digs into roles within roles, pulling them out one by one. Her final act is a treat worth waiting for. W. Somerset Maugham wrote the novel “Theatre” on which “Julia” is based and since he took almost all his stories straight from life, the original is probably an accurate portrait of the backstage world behind his own plays. Some reviewers have said that Julia might have been a role for Vivien Leigh, Bette Davis or Katharine Hepburn in their day, although their days did not usually include this kind of sexual frankness. It is, however, the right role for the radiantly sensual Bening. It is witty, emotionally reflective and evocative of the flamboyant stage stars of the 1930s. “Being Julia” is rated R for nudity, sexual situations and some obscenity; run time is 104 minutes. Chekhov From Page B1 adjoining sliver of land almost derails the attempted proposal. In the second play, “The Bear,” mayhem and madness soar as Chekhov tells a different story of romantic reality — that of a spirited, virtuous widow who is pressed by an unexpected visitor to pay off the debt of her late husband. He vows to stay in her home until the debt is paid. In the end, love somehow enters the picture and the widow winds up receiving an offer of marriage instead from a man she first found obnoxious, and they live happily ever after! “The Marriage Proposal” The suitor in this comedy as Ivan Vasilievich Lomov, is Buddy Darden. He returns to the Ki Theatre stage from his debut last spring in “Ancestral Voices” but appeared in many stage productions in Louisiana where he lived and worked previously. Playing the role of Natalya Stepanovna Chubu kova, the neighboring landlord’s unmarried daughter who with her father’s frustrated shove finally receives the “proposal,” is Pat Hamilton who has appeared in a number of Ki Theatre productions, including “The Shepherds’ Play.” And the father of the bride-to-be in the comedy is Michael Mahoney, who plays the part of Stepan Stepanovich Chubukov. Mahoney has appeared on stage for many years in various Ki Theatre plays. “The Bear” Popular Warrenton-based actress Stephanie Mastri takes the role of Yelena Ivanovna Popova, a landowner and “lovely widow with dimples.” Mastri debuted at Ki Theatre in 1992 in the original one act play, “Rhythms” and has appeared regularly in Ki Theatre productions. Taking the role of the Grigory Stephanovitch Smirnov, the debt collector who, uninvited, moves in with the landowner to collect a debt is Philip Rosemond. A professional dancer and actor for some 25 years, Rosemond made his first appearance on the Kji Theatre stage last year in “Stories Run Through Us” And Norman Getsinger takes the role of the landowner Yelena’s elderly servant, Luka. A retired diplomat with a long career in the U.S. Foreign Service, Getsinger’s love of the theatre began in the 1940s and brought him back to play various roles in Ki Theatre productions in recent years, including “Under Milkwood” and “The Shepherds’ Play.” Reservations and times Chekhov’s two one-act plays will encore for a onenight-only performance at the Fauquier Community Theatre in Warrenton on Saturday, June 4.

There is another way that we can honor these great men and women, however, that is in upholding the principles that they gave “the last full measure” to defend.

Walks in Shenandoah By Maureen Harris Special to the Rappahannock Nev\ This interesting walk leads through a forest of mountain laurel, past 80-year old American chestnut stumps that still have sprouting saplings, and moves gradually uphill to a stunning viewpoint high above Skyline Drive. To begin the walk, enter Skyline Drive at the Front Royal entrance station and drive south. You will pass the Dickey Ridge Visitor Center after about 4.5 miles. This facility is well worth a visit, as it has interesting displays and friendly, helpful National Park Service rangers and volunteers. Continue on Skyline Drive for an additional 7.9 miles (total of 12.4 miles from the Front Royal entrance station). On the right will be the Jenkins Gap parking lot, a paved lot for about 14 vehicles. Park here. If you access Skyline Drive at the Thornton Gap entrance station on Route 211, bear right (north) onto Skyline Drive and drive 19 miles to the Jenkins Gap parking lot on your left. You will see a 4 ft. concrete post in the south comer of the parking lot. Proceed to this and walk along the trail from the post, slightly downhill, for about 150 feet to a second concrete post marking the intersection with the Appalachian Trail. Turn right onto the Appalachian Trail. You may see 4” x 6” white paint blazes intermittently on trees along the trail. These occur throughout the whole 2000 mile length of the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine. The walk here is flat and the trail passes for about 2/10th mile through a stunning “forest” of mountain laurel, much of it over 10 feet high. The laurel in Shenandoah generally blooms at about the end of May, a week or two after the laurel blooms in the lower elevations of Rappahannock County. Try to time your visit so you will see the full beauty of massed mountain laurel blossoms. Because the mountain laurel is so dense along the trail here, you can actually smell the lovely scent of this plant. Mountain Laurel Mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia) was named for Peter Kalm, who was a Finnish botanist and a student of Carl Linnaeus. Linnaeus was the person who invented the naming system for plants. He sent Kalm to the New World in 1753 to collect plants, and Kalm studied the mountain laurel and collected live plants, which did not exist in Europe. Mark Catesby is also credited with discovering mountain laurel during his travels in the Carolinas and Virginia; he is said to have introduced it to Europe in 1726. The name latifolia means “wide leaf,” a character that differentiates this plant from five other species of Kalmia. Kalm discovered the poisonous properties of the foliage when some sheep belonging to the expedition in which he travelled almost died after browsing the leaves, hence the name “lambkill.” Horses are susceptible to the poison, but deer seem not to be seriously affected. The whitetail deer in Shenandoah do not appear to like it, browsing this plant only when little else is available. Honey made from mountain laurel is also believed to be poisonous. Native Americans used the wood of mountain laurel to make spoons. In fact, the name “spoonwood” has been used for this shrub. The wood carves nicely and the fine grain takes a good polish. The wood is also often gnarled so you can pick a place that bends the way you want your Photos courtesy of Maureen Harris Mountain Laurel in bloom spoon or ladle to go! Spectacular floral displays are the hallmark of this shrub. The flowers are white or pinkish. They grow at the end of the stem. The flower stamens have a mechanism to eject pollen when tripped by a bee. If you look at the flowers with a magnifying glass, or look closely if you have good near vision, you will see the long filaments of the stamen bent over and latched into a tiny dimple in the flower. When a bee lights on the petal the spring is released and “whap,” the stamen zips out and snaps pollen all over the bee! You can use a small stick and pretend you are a bee...see what happens. Old chesnut stumps Interspersed in this mountain laurel forest are American chestnut stumps. Many of these still have chestnut saplings growing from them. Some of the larger ones actually bloom and put out burrs with chestnut seeds inside. When the English and European settlers first came to the New World in the 1600s, most of the eastern part of the continent was a massive chestnut-hickory forest with other trees interspersed. Many of the ridgetops of the central Appalachians were so crowded with chestnut that, in early summer when their canopies were filled with creamy-white flowers, the mountains appeared snowcapped. The trees could be giants. Mature chestnuts averaged up to five feet in diameter and up to one hundred feet tall. Native wildlife including birds, bears, squirrels, and deer depended on the tree’s abundant crops of nutritious nuts. The American chestnut was a major cash crop for people in Rappahannock County in the 1800’s. It provided bark for tanneries, excellent wood for building houses, and nuts that were roasted and sold. Throughout Appalachian mountain communities, the chestnut was a central part of rural economies. As winter came on, attics were often stacked with bags of the nuts. Smokehouses were hung with hams from livestock that had fattened on the harvest gleanings. As year-end holidays approached, nuts by the railroad car-full were shipped to New York, Philadelphia, and other cities where street vendors sold them fresh roasted. The tree was one of the best for timber. It grew straight and often branch-free for 50 ft. Loggers tell of loading entire railroad cars with boards cut from just one tree. Straight-grained, lighter in weight than oak and more easily worked, chestnut was as rot resistant as redwood. It was used for virtually everything — telegraph poles, rail View from the top of Compton Peak road ties, shingles, paneling, fine furniture, musical instruments, pulp, and plywood. Unfortunately, in the early 1900s, the chesnut blight set in and destroyed all of the chestnut trees. First discovered in 1904 in New York City, the blight — an Asian fungus to which our native chestnuts had very little resistance — spread quickly. In its wake it left only dead trees. This had a devastating effect on the livelihood of Rappahannock County farmers. After Shenandoah National Park was established, the chestnut trees, which were now virtually skeleton trunks, were cut down so that the wood could at least be used. After the chestnut trees died, oaks tooks their place in the forest, and we now have eastern forests that are primarily oak and hickory. Compton Peak As you proceed along your walk, you will begin to climb Compton Peak. The top of this mountain is 1.2 miles from the beginning of your walk. You will cross several lovely streams that have many wildflowers growing around them. Because of the sunlight that filters down into the trail opening, you will see wildflowers all along the trail. At the top of Compton Peak you will find another 4 ft. concrete post. To the left is a slightly rocky trail, with occasional blue blazes on the trees, that lead for 2/10th mile to a spectacular view to the north and west, overlooking the Bide Ridge mountains and Skyline Drive below. Compton Peak is composed of basalt and Catoctin lava that is millions of years old. This viewpoint is a grand place to have lunch if you have brought a bag lunch with you. Compton Peak was probably named for James Compton. Records of the Virginia Land Office have a deed dated 1747 for 10,000 acres to James Compton Esquire, one of the Commissioners of the English Navy. The survey of this land indicates that it included whal we now call Compton Peak. The deed was from the Right Honorable Thomas Lore Fairfax, Baron of Cameron ir Scotland, proprietor of „the Northern Neck of Virginia during the reign of King George II of England. The renl for this grant of land was “one shilling sterling for every 5C acres, due annually on the feast day of St. Michael the Archangel.” Maureen Harris can bt contacted by email at fri day28542@hotmail.com Shenandoah National Park Celebrates National Trails Day Shenandoah National Park and the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club will celebrate National Trails Day on June 4, 2005.

Thus, they began the practice of embalming bodies, many thousands of years ago, with the belief that the soul would never forsake the body as long as the body remained intact.

Annual antique car tour to take place in Winchester area The 16th annual Orphan Car Tour will take place on Saturday, June 4 over scenic byways of Clarke and Frederick Counties east of Winchester, Virginia. The Tour welcomes participation of "orphan” (discontinued make) antique automobiles which are at least 25 years old. Cars will assemble at the Blue Ridge Volunteer Fire & Rescue Co., 131 Retreat Rd., (Rte. 7, near Bluemont) at 11:00 AM Saturday. Cars will be released onto the Tpur route (of approximately 45 miles) one-at-a-time, starting about 11:30. Each driver will be given a set of printed instructions and will travel the route at his or her own speed. Also printed on the sheets are questions pertaining to sights glimpsed along the way, to test participants’ observational skills. Points of interest along the route include the Blandy Experimental Farm and Virginia State Arboretum, historic Burwell-Morgan Mill in Millwood, and the grounds of Long Branch (a restored manor house). In addition there may be one or more additional stops at points of interest with a historic or automotive theme. The Tour route leads back to the fire hall in the late afternoon, where a buffet-style dinner of barbecued chicken and and beef will be served. Later, recognition will be given to those who have correctly answered the most questions on the direction sheets. The dinner is optional, but reservations are required (the deadline is May 27). The cost is $14 for adults, $9 for children 6-12. The fee for the Tour alone is $7 per automobile, and may be paid on the day of the event without pre-registering. The ■ event will be held "rain or shine", since most of the points of interest are indoors. The public is welcome to gather at the fire hall to see the cars, either just before the tour gets underway or after 4:30 when the cars begin to return to the fire hall. Information is available at the Tour’s website, www. angelfire.com/or3/orphan _oartour/ . Further information is available from Jon Battle by phone at (703) 392-6870 or by e-mail at detailed@verizon. net. The Orphan Tour moves to a new location each year. As many as 50 antique cars have driven the Tour in certain years. The event is sponsored in 2005 by Mid-Atlantic Packards (a region of the Packard Club), the Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club, the Potomac Ramblers chapter of the AMC-Rambler Club, and the Potomac Chapter of the Studebaker Drivers Club. The purpose of the Tour is to promote the driving enjoyment of antique "orphan” vehicles.

By Sarah Van Dam Special to the Rappahannock News It was a rainy Thursday evening but that didn’t stop the crowd from coming out to the Bleu Rock Inn for the first “Furry” Thursday. Bleu Rock Inn and RAWL, the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League, are sponsoring a summer long concert series to benefit the Rappahannock Animal Shelter. If last Thursday was any indication of how this event will be, then it is sure to be a huge success. The evening began on the picturesque patio with Aplus taking the stage. Just as they were about to start, the rain began. The decision was made to move the music indoors. Everyone quickly helped relocate the band inside. In the cozy setting of the pub, Aplus played to an eager audience. They were a fantastic choice to kick off the concert * series and really rocked the pub. Alice Reeve belted out soulful classics as well as many Aplus originals. Tom Guidice sang and played acoustic guitar while new member Harry Crusenberry was great on percussion. The crowd enjoyed the show, helped sing along and offered requests that were welcomed by the band. In case you missed Aplus last week, you have three more chances to see them perform this summer. Be sure to join us this Thursday as we host Open Mic Night. Come share your talent! Keep posted as upcoming artists include: Craig Honey;utt, Hollowbound and Rude Rock Family. The Bleu Rock Inn serves delicious food and assorted leverages. Bring your family and friends and enjoy an evening out at the Bleu Rock while supporting the Rappahannock Animal Shelter. Furry Thursdays are from 3pm-10pm, rain or shine, free af charge and for all ages. Please call Jim McCullough at 987-3190 for nore info. Thank you for your support. See you at the Rock!

Be safe this spring and know your The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) and the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) are reminding residents that bats become more active and more visible in our communities during the spring. Bats make important contributions to our environment, but like other wild animals, they can carry potentially fatal diseases such as rabies. Although most of the confirmed rabid animals in the United States are raccoons (2,635 in 2003), humans are more likely to be infected with bat rabies viruses. Since 1990, 29 of 45 human rabies infections have resulted from bat viruses, and only one human has been infected with a raccoon virus. “It is very important for people to avoid contact with any wild animals, or even domestic animals that they don’t know. Bats present a special concern because their tiny bites may not be recognized,” said Suzanne Jenkins, V.M.D., M.P.H, state public health veterinarian. “Less than one percent of bats are infected with rabies. However, bats that are acting abnormal, such as those being active during the day, found in a room of your home or unable to fly, have a higher probability of being positive for rabies.” “Bats are an important natural resource and valuable assets to our fives,” said Rick Reynolds, VDGIF wildlife diversity biologist, “Several species of bats are now endangered, so we must be mindful of the environmental importance of bats, recognize the value of living safely with them, and seek ways to protect their habitats.” Through the study of bats, scientists have gained valuable knowledge about sonar, navigational aids for the blind, treatment of strokes, vaccine development, and artificial insemination. Bats normally fly at night eating various insects including mosquitoes and agricultural pests such as corn borer moths. During the day they roost quietly by hanging upside down. Bats can enter homes through small openings and may end up roosting in attics. In hot months they may seek cooler temperatures and end up in living spaces. If you find a bat in your home and are sure there has been no human or pet contact, allow the bat to find its way back outdoors by closing off the room, turning on the fights and opening all windows and doors. If bats are roosting in the house, you will need to find out how they get in by observing their exit holes at dusk. Once you have found the holes where the bats gain access, these areas should be loosely covered with plastic sheeting Insectivorous bats or Microchiropterans: Voracious insect eaters, some species can catch and eat up to 600 mosquitoes in an hour. or bird netting which will allows bats to crawl out and leave but not re-enter. The best time to do this is either between April and May or between August and September, as young bats are typically born in late May through June. You want to avoid trapping young bats in the house during the summer months. During the summer, many of these young bats are unable to fly. They may become trapped inside and die or may make their way into living quarters. For professional help, call a company that has experience (dealing with excluding bats from buildings so that you and the bats are kept safe. Once you are sure that all bats have left your house, you’ll want to bat-proof your property. Carefully examine your home for holes that might allow bats to enter. Any openings larger than a quarter-inch by half-inch should be sealed with caulk. Use window screens, chimney caps and draft guards beneath attic doors, fill electrical and plumbing holes with steel wool or caulking, and ensure that all doors to the outside close tightly. If you are bitten by a bat or awaken to find a bat in your room, try to capture the bat so it can be tested for rabies. This approach is also recommended if you notice a bat in the room of an unattended child or someone else who is unable to report whether a bat had contact with them. Contact your local health department or an animal-control agency for advice. lb find out more about the benefits of bats and safe coexistence with bats, log onto http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvr d/rabies/bats_&_rabies/bats&. htm. Instructions for capturing a bat • Carefully avoid direct contact with the bat and avoid damaging its head. • Close the windows, and the room and closet doors; turn on the lights if the room is dark wait for the bat to land. • Wearing gloves (heavy, preferably thick leather), cover the bat with a coffee can or similar container with a lid, slide a piece of cardboard uilder the can, trapping the bat with one hand firmly holding the cardboard in place against the top of the can, turn the can right side up. Replace the cardboard with the lid (if there is no lid, tape the cardboard tightly to the can) • Contact your local health department to arrange for rabies examination of the bat. • If you find a dead bat, it should be double-bagged in plastic and placed in a cooler or refrigerated area. Under no circumstances should a bat be stored in the same cooler or refrigerator as food or pharmaceuticals. The specimen should be kept away from potential contact with people or other animals.
