This was a first time event for St. Peters. Heading up the procession shown here gathering on Porter Street were the church’s altar servers and Father DeMartino, - dressed in a flowing gold and red cassock carrying a gilded “monstrance” for this solemn occasion to celebrate the Holy Sacrament. IN PRAYER: Right, in their immediately recognizable blue and white habits of the Order established in India by Mother Teresa, the sisters from the Missionaries of Charity who run orphanages and homes for the ill and homeless in Washington, D.C., were guests on Saturday of Little Washington’s St. Peter’s Catholic Mission. Here two of the nuns appear in the special mass to which they were invited in Pope Benedict XVI’s honor. By Richard Lyres Special to the Rappahannock News This past weekend, St. Peter’s Catholic Mission on Route 211 near Little Washington celebrated the Memorial Day weekend with two special events. On Saturday, the “The Missionaries of Charity” (the religious order established in the 1950s by Mother Teresa of India, now Blessed Teresa of Calcutta), were invited to Rappahannock County for a special mass honoring the new Pope, Benedict XVI. For the sixth time in as many years, the sisters who live and work in Washington, D.C. were invited to Rappahannock County for “A Day in the Country.” In Washington, D.C., the sisters run an orphanage, a soup kitchen, and support many of the local poorer families by providing them with clothing and other basic needs. In addition, the sisters have a home for AIDS patients, as well as elderly and disabled people who would otherwise be homeless. The home, named “The Gift of Peace,” houses about fifty men and women. St. Peter’s Mission played host to both the sisters and some of their residents at the noon ma^s with a barbeque afterwards. On Sunday just before noon, a large contingent from St. Peter’s See ST. PETER’S, Page A3 Rappahannock Rapidan Eldercare Coalition holds forum By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer There was a large turnout at the Rappahannock Rapidan Eldercare Coalition’s Forum held at the Washington Volunteer Fire Department last Wednesday. With people still streaming in five minutes after the program began, almost every chair was filled. Forum moderator, Jenny Millan of Sperryville, welcomed the crowd and stressed the unique personality of each county. County administrator John McCarthy addressed the crowd saying, “What you have to say today is more important than anything I have to say.” McCarthy explained that the pace at which the average age continues to increase is rising dramatically and the county has to make sure the services it provides meets the maximum needs of residents.' “These service needs are going to grow and grow and the question is how are we going to respond to them? What you are doing here today is helping your local government and you are going to give us the answers,” concluded McCarthy. Sallie Morgan, Director of Community Support Services for the Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Board, gave a powerpoint presentation to the crowd on the need for long term care. “This is to start what will be an ongoing conversation,” said Morgan who stressed the increasing population of people over 60 is not just an issue for Rappahannock County or the United States, but is a global issue. “In just ten years spending on the elderly will total nearly $1.8 trillion, almost half the federal budget.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jeanne Spath Variance request would boost Amissville Fire and Rescue budget By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News StafT Writer A piece of land measuring almost one and one-half acres near Castleton could boost Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company, Inc.’s (AVFR) budget, allowing it to purchase a backup generator for the Amissville facility at an approximate cost of $50,000* However, this boost could only come if the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals approves a variance, adjusting the required 100foot setback requirements sited by the county’s ordinance. Currently, the 1.4272 acre lot. which was donated to the AVFR by Emiel Smet in 2001, is zoned for agriculture. Jack Atkins, president of the AVFR explained to the BZA on May 25 that the company has had offers for the piece of land to be purchased as a building lot, with an offer of approximately $40,000. Atkins made the variance request to the BZA on behalf of the AVFR, explaining to the board that the piece of property was made unbuildable when the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) built a bridge on Rt. 729 in the mid-to-late 1960s, See BZA, Page A3 Early American Paige and Charlie Coombs had their restored log cabin featured in Early American Life Magazine.

Entrance hall to the Coombs home Phqtos by Richard Lykes Charlie Coombs in his workshop The Coombs dining and family room Rappahannock home featured in Early American Life Magazine By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer Paige and Charlie Coombs are the proud owners of a home that was recently featured in Early American Life Magazine. Because of its history and decorative charm the little log cabin was just what the magazine was looking to feature. The Coombs have been residents of Rappahannock County for close to 19 years now. When they first decided to move from their home on the Eastern Shore in Maryland they knew they were looking for a small cabin they could renovate in a fairly rural area. After scouting out the Virginia region, they soon settled on Rappahannock County as a place to find a home, and subscribed to the local newspaper to get a better feel for the county and the people it was - home to. After a little over two years a house came on the market that fit the description the Coombs were seeking. It was a log cabin that had been built around a log cabin dating back to 1790 and it was called The Cabin on Mill Run. Originally part of a 1,200 acre farm owned by the Mozingeau Family, the land had been n pared down to 125 acres in the 19th century and sized down again to the 25 acre minimum by the previ ous owner. “We wanted an old house that had some character, preferably a log cabin that needed help,” said TKarlip After finding their dream house the Coombs bought the place in November of 1985 and moved in September of the following year. “We had a full crew begin work on the place the first of March and we just tore everything out of it,” said Charlie who explained the couple was eager to get renovations started. “We were here every weekend,” added Paige. The Coombs worked tirelessly to restore the old cabin. Paige explained that every family that owned the house had added onto it throughout the years and the Coombs spent a lot of time trying to get the additions to look as close to the original building as possible. “We wanted the feeling of 1 The Jackson House \ Assisted * Living | Offering Premium Care at an Affordable Cost The- Jackson House Assisted Living bridges the gap between in-home and institutional residential care, providing senior citizens of Rappahannock and surrounding counties the assistance and support necessary to maintain a dignified and independent lifestyle.

The couple described how they blasted the walls with over 1,000 lbs. of sand to remove the shellac from the old logs. “Charlie has great vision and he can see what he wants,” said Paige about her husbands’ plans while renovating the house. Charlie’s profession also has a lot to do with why the house looks the way it does. A furniture maker for much of his life, Charlie has filled the house with pieces of his work and if you walked through what used to be an old window of the cabin, you enter ' Charlie’s workshop. Charlie describes liis style as Country Queen Anne or High Country Style. Most of the wood he works with comes from Rappahannock County and includes cherry, walnut, pine and poplar. Paige described how the house changes as Charlie makes new pieces and sells old ones. “Sometimes where there is a round table we will decide we need a square table and Charlie will make that next,” said Paige. Not all the pieces leave the house, however, since Paige said there are some pieces she just cannot bear to part with. “I like pieces that are old and crude and really loved,” said Paige. Being in the magazine When asked how the couple was approached by Early American Life Magazine to do the story it again came back to Charlie and his furniture. Charlie makes his pieces to take to shows twice a year and it was at these shows that he and Paige became familiar with the faces at Early American Life Magazine. Charlie also explained that every year the magazine holds 66 We wanted an old house that had some character, preferably a log cabin that needed help. Charlie Coombs a competition for artisans such as furniture makers, blacksmiths, silversmiths, etc. Winners of the competition have their pieces featured in the magazine and Charlie has been chosen to appear in it before. When the magazine heard of Paige and Charlie’s home and the work they had done on it they were intrigued and knowing Charlie’s furniture, planned a visit. Two days were spent photographing the house and Paige said she had just enough time before they came to get all the projects done around the house that had been put on hold for the past six months. “They really thought that this county was gorgeous,” said Paige.

Paige and Charlie have been subscribers to Early American Life for many years and said it is a wonderful resource for people looking to decorate their homes in that fashion. In decorating her house Paige said she looked to the magazine for ideas and directions to finding what she was looking for. With Charlie’s custom-made furniture and Paige’s decorative sense they have turned the little log cabin into their dream home. Ruth Purnell may be reached at rpumell@timespapers.com Take it to the edge? Town officials continue to grapple with challenging issues By Anita L. Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer They met jointly and for the fourth time in a public forum. The Town of Washington Planning Commission together with the Washington Town Council met on Monday, May 23, to discuss how they will craft changes to the Town’s Comprehensive Plan particularly as it looks to adding sewer service. Consultants Milt Herd from Herd Planning and Design in Leesburg along with Vlad Gavrilovic from Paradigm Design in Reston have been incorporating and refining feedback from the previous meetings. Herd pinpointed the evening’s objectives. “There are some key concerns,” said Herd. “You’ve got the property owner expectations of receiving town sewer service as well as the potential impact on property owners of significant reductions in the development capacity in the rural residential district.” Given the established town boundaries, Herd presented a series of options. One would provide sewer service to a defined area mostly hovering close to currently established buildings while leaving the outer perimeter See TOWN, Page A5 ,

Forum From Page A1 That is up from 29 percent in 1990 and 35 percent in 2000,” according to New Brookings Institution and Congressional Budget Office projections. Morgan stated the age 60 and over population of our region (Fauquier, Culpeper, Orange, Madison, and Rappahannock counties) will more than double by 2020. “The question is, how do we work together to make a difference here?” said Morgan who added while Medicare and Medicaid are important, there is also a lot that can be done to provide support on a local level. i ■ Small group discussions After the presentation the audience was broken into groups and asked to answer three questions^ “In what ways is Rappahannock County a good place to grow old?” “What are the most serious challenges you or your loved ones face as you age here?” “What can and/or should be done, now or in the future, to address these challenges?” Reporting Back After 45 minutes of conversation the groups had much to report. “The room is a buzz with brain power,” said Millan. In response to the question of “What makes Rappahannock a good place to grow old?” comments were varied. One group stated it was, “a feeling of comradely, compassion and concern among citizens.” Other responses included, “the area is safe,” “this is a county that encourages creativity,” “there is strong volunteer support,” and “people tend to stay in Rappahannock for a long time.” The groups also came up with several sets of challenges the area faces. One was transportation and the difficulty of accessing pharmacies, hospitals, or even going grocery shopping. One idea was to institute a county bus system. Housing was also an area of concern and one group stated they “hoped to see housing for economically, demographically diverse groups of people.” Another 0Toup suggested having housing around existing villages so the elderly could walk to places. Another group reported wanting more health maintenance services such as bike paths, help in the household, or access to public health services. One solution was to expand the Senior Center in Washington, Va. to provide a larger space and wider variety of services. Another area of concern was the distance between the youthand the older population of the county. “We need to encourage the youth to stay in this area,” said one group. Solutions were to introduce more trade programs at the schools and also programs that encourage inter action with the elderly for school credit. One example was to have students care for senior citizens. Starting a job bank at the high school was another idea. Senior citizens who needed yard work done could post notices for students looking to earn money. Outreach The final issue was the need for more community outreach to let people know what is available. “We have to find many, many more ways to bring information about services we have - to people,” said group member Joyce Abell. “It has to be done over and over again in a lot of different ways to try to reach everybody in this county,” added Abell. Audience members suggest nursuay, June a, ^uuo A3. ed a Senior Resource Book; which would be similar to the Rappahannock Green Pages that lists county businesses. After the groups finished their reports Cathy Zielinski made some closing comments on the Rappahannock Rapidan Eldercare Coalition’s next steps. “There is much more to be said and we hope this conversa-; tion will continue,” said; Zielinski who informed the .Audience there were several. Ways to continue conveying , information to the coalition.

BZA From Page A1 cutting off the small parcel of land from a larger farming acreage. At the time the bridge was built, Atkins explained, the setback limits were 50-feet, not the current ordinance of 100-feet. If the board would allow the 50foot setback, the property would be buildable. Robert L. Weinberg, Chairman of the BZA, questioned if the property was taken by imminent domain, or if fair market value was paid by VDOT for the property. Opposition to tne variance Once the request was made to the BZA, the floor was open for public comment, which began a discussion taking more than two hours from county residents who were for and against the variance. First to speak in opposition was Clyde Humphrey of West Wind Farm in Castleton, who owns the property directly across Rt. 729 from the AVFR property. Humphrey began. “My purpose in speaking against the requested variance is two-fold. First, I want to preserve the character and value of our neighborhood as an agricultural area. Second, I want to encourage the county to maintain strict enforcement of our zoning laws to the benefit of the county as a whole, lb me, this second purpose is the most important.” Following a long question and answer discussion between Humphrey and Weinberg,, Humphrey added that his request to the BZA was that the variance be denied. Phillip Strange, a neighbor to the property, said, “This is a classic case of NIMBY — not in my backyard. However, this is in my backyard.” Strange went on to say that he opposes spot zoning within Rappahannock County. While others from the county spoke in opposition as well, there were also those present speaking in favor of the variance. Those in favor Atkins was the first to speak. “We have had an offer from someone in this room for $5,000, but we could get an estimated $20,000 or more than we could without the variance.” J. B. Carter, chief of AVID spoke, advising the board that the company has looked into several uses for the property, including land for a communications tower, building a rental house to generate income for the department and as a training location. “However, we have gotten offers from more than one person to use this as a building site. One person has a son that he wants to be able to buy land in Rappahannock County where he could not afford anything else in the county,” Carter said. Finally, with discussion coming to a close on the matter, BZA member Charles K. Estes, II said, “Can we legally grant a variance without a site-plan? When did it become a separate piece of property?” With those and many other questions on the table, the BZA voted unanimously to table the pending discussion and to seek the advice of legal counsel. County attorney, Peter Luke, addressed the board, recusing himself from counsel on the matter. Luke said that he felt there would be a possible conflict of interest since he had once served as president of the AVFD. Luke suggested the board consult with Washington attorney Douglas Baumgardner. The board voted unanimously to seek Baumgardner’s counsel and discussion on this request would resume at the June 22 meeting. Other requests In other special exception requests made to the BZA, the board unanimously approved a family apartment to be built over a three-car garage for Alvin and Lori Dore in Amissville. “Everything is well within the required limits,” County Administrator, John McCarthy said of the Dore request. Barbara Adolfi, a clinical social worker in Sperryville, brought a request before the BZA to have a residential property be used as a tourist home for weekend guests who would rent the three-bedroom facility. The board discussed if the facility met with all the requirements, including at least four parking spaces, all lighting ordinances and a screen to shield the area from neighboring commercially zoned areas. During the discussion, Estes questioned Adolfi about the use of office space in the facility that is currently being used for her business. As a result of the discussion, Adolfi was advised that since the 14 Water Street home in Sperryville was not her bona fide residence, she could not have a residential office space in the facility without a special permit. The board did unanimously vote to approve the tourist home, with the understanding that Adolfi would have to apply to the county for a special use permit to continue her clinical social work practice in the home. No topographical Burden Dr. Joyce Harman, a veterinarian from North Poes Road, made a request to convert the current primary residence on her property into a family apartment, making the current family apartment that is situated over a bam into an office space. Once this is done, Harman proposed to build a log cabin, approximately 658-feet from the family apartment as a primary residence. The family apartment would be used for Harman’s mother and Harman herself would reside in the log cabin. However, board member Alex Sharp advised the other BZA members that he had viewed the property and his finding was that there was ample property within the 200foot limits provided by current ordinances to build the new primary residence. Finally, the board unanimously voted to approve Harman building the residence somewhere within a 200-foot range at the “closest point to the closest point” as McCarthy phrased it, advising Harman that if she found she could not St. Peter’s From Page A1 came to Little Washington for a first time ever celebration of a solemn religious procession. The procession to honor the Catholic feast 'of “Corpus Christi” (Latin for the Body of Christ) was led by Father DeMar1 no who heads this 400 plus congregation.

Also special were the little children singing and throwing colorful rose petals as they made their way through town. “This is a first,” smiled the gentle DeMartino. “Next year, we hope to add the full choir.” Healthy Processed Beef (no fillers or sugar) Beef sticks (like Slim Jims) Salami/Bologna Sausages, Hot dogs Beef Jerky Multiple flavors available Grass Fed Mi-.at ♦Contains Omega 3 fatty acids nor- j mally found in fish oils, (grain fed j meat has little) ♦Conjugated Linoleic acid, Vit E Spring SALE: Hamburger.

Partnering with a younger, farmer-in-progress, Trista Scheuerlein, the two have worked out an arrangement that suits both their needs —Abell can continue to farm her land and Scheuerlein has a place to farm. Peacevine Farm is the result and Scheuerlein can be seen on weekends selling her fresh produce at local markets. A connection like this might not always work, but in this case it’s working just fine and the two are reaping the benefits of a mutual love of the land and love of an art that neither want to lose. While certainly content to continue their farming friendship and successful farming partnership, Abell and scheuerlein would like to spread the good news that match-ups like theirs can work and should be replicated. Land owner, land lover, past farmer, future farmer, young and young-at-heart, they are sharing a dream. Their hope is that others will too. So, what’s with the bears? One of our reporters hit a bear while trying to get to an accident on Fodderstack Road. Certainly shaken by the incident, the unfortunate bear limped off into the woodlands and our reporter drove on with a dented bumper and a smashed headlight. Sheriff Larry Sherertz killed a bear over the weekend. Again, the bear had been seriously injured and it was an act of kindness to put the animal out of its misery. This particular bear was reported to be of fair size . (nearly seven feet tall) and weighing over 400 lbs. Aside from countless reported bear sightings throughout the county, discoveries of large paw prints meandering through the Shenandoah and accounts of bears inhaling large amounts of birdseed and com kernels and fighting for territory along with the squirrels, some in the county are speculating that the “bears” are becoming as commonplace as the “deer.” Rappahannock County has always had bears, but are there more of them?

Letter Praises for Ben Atkins and his family - • i The board of the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society wants publicly to acknowledgi the leadership of Ben Atkins and his enormous contributions to the continued success of our county’s Relay for Life. Ben has captained a team for many years but, more importantly, began his county wide leadership six years ago when he co-chaired the event with Ester Settle. He was th< sole chair for the next five years. This year he was assisted by Tamara Waldo, who will take on the leadership role next year. Under Ben’s leadership, Rappahannock County has raised more than $350,000 to aid in the fight against cancel This year Relay for Life tean alone raised almost $60,000, i remarkable achievement for £ county our size. Ben is an organizer and a leader. He is also a tireless and cheerful worker, helping with every aspect of the Relay s event. We are, however, not indebted to Ben alone but also to his entire family, especially his wife, Becky, who works right alongside Ben, and his sons who are also dependable helpers. Ben’s contributions to our community are not limited to the Relay for Life. Even while he was leading the preparations for this year’s Relay, he organized and directed a very successful car show at the high school, raising badly needed funds for our county’s young athletes.

Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO June 3, 1965 The second meeting of the Ceramics Workshop sponsored by the Arts and Crafts Project was held Tuesday at the J. L. Kilby lake near Sperryville with 9 of original 12 ladies present. The first , day of class, Mr. Joseph Carter, instructor showed by demonstration and lecture how to work up local clay into the right condition for making pots. Many tricks of the potters trade were demonstrated for producing jars, pitchers, and bowls. Mr. Carter has been an instructor at the Corcoran Art Gallery Studio. He supervised the class as they practiced “wedging” clay into a pliant medium for shaping objects. At the second lesson Mr. Carter showed some of the objects that were made on the first day which he fired during the week. The class was amazed at the different colors produced by firing different clays. At this meeting the members made ai variety of different things and sun baked them in preparation for future meetings. Other steps will be firing, decorating, and glazing. The seventh grade students at the Sperryville Elementary School who received certificates of promotion at commencement exercises last night, June 2, were Kenneth Cave, Jack Lillard, Warren Lee Smith, John Deal, Mary E. Jenkins, Dolly Nicholson, Judy Burke, Nancy Nethers, Linda Jenkins, Sandra Payne, Joe Durden, Susan Dodson, Amy Palmer, Jane Kilby, Billy Dodson, Wayne Mills, Terry Raymond, Wayne Corbin, Jack Jenkins, Betty Lou Atkins, Joan Dodson, Brenda St. Clair, Douglas Gilkey, Terry Russell, Dale Welch, Wayne Smoot and Donnie Welch. 25 YEARS AGO June 5,1980 Amissville Cub Scout Pack 50 visited the National Zoo in Washington on June 1 and also enjoyed a picnic lunch. There were twelve scouts and five leaders joined by some family and friends. Wakefield Country Day School held its third annual Spring Horse and Pony Show Saturday at the Fauquier Livestock Exchange where junior riders from Warren, Clarke, Frederick, and Rappahannock counties competed iii equitation classes and gymkhana events. The show, a fund raiser for the school, provided an afternoon of fun and games for all participants and was judged by Miss. K. T. Jones of Orlean. Wade T. Brown , son of Mr. and Mrs. > George Hagerty of Sperryville has been promoted to airman in the U.S. Air Force. The rank of airman is the first promotion for enlisted personnel. Brown is assigned to Kelly Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. He is a graduate of Rappahannock County High School. Youngsters in Betsy Coffey’s Special Education class practiced every day for the track and field events in Special Olympic Games. In addition to morning activities outside with Coffey, they had extra afternoon training sessions with physical education teacher Cathy Lowe. All the work paid off as each contestant won a chest ftill of ribbons in the Special Olympics. 10 YEARS AGO June 7, 1995 Peter Kreyling triumphed again in the Second Annual Rappahannock Rug Road Rally last Saturday, winning the event for the second year in a row. Cars, drivers, and passengers lined up at St. Peter’s church for last minute instructions and the start of the competition Saturday morning.

After the event everyone enjoyed a picnic lunch of hot dogs or hamburgers and games for all ages including sack races, three-legged races, and playing with a parachute. COMPILED BY RUTH PURNELL

Bible study Photo by Richard Lykes Every Wednesday afternoon for the past year, a group of eight students from the first through the third grades meet after class to study the Bible and memorize scripture. As an incentive, students can earn points by learning passages from the Bible and “cash” them in on small prizes like t-shirts and coloring books. The children’s Bible study classes are conducted by Rev. Phil Bailey, pastor of the Washington Baptist Church; Rev. Jenks Hobson, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church; and Rev. Jon Heddleston, pastor of Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church in Sperryville. In this picture, Rev. Phil Bailey has asked for a show of hands for those students who can recite the whole Lord’s Prayer by memory. Appearing left to right are Hannah Kleppinger, Rev. Bailey (standing), Jordan Atkins, Brianna Heggan, Dawson Wiley, Revs. Hobson and Heddleston (sitting), Parker Critzer, Kayla McGhee, Evan Marcus, and Dalton Clark. Wednesdays are special days for these eight students and their ecumenical teachers. Pictured from left to right are Dalton Clark, Hannah Kleppinger with Rev. Phil Bailey standing behind, Dawson Wiley, Jordan Atkins, and Kayla McGhee with Rev. Jenks Hobson standing behind, and Evan Marcus, Parker Critzer, and Brianna Heggan with Rev. Jon Heddleston behind. Town From Page A2 without service. The other option would provide sewer service to include the entire Tbwn of Washington. Which will it be? Would either of these options work given that all members on both boards are unanimous in their feeling that the “historic” quality of the Tbwn of Washington be preserved. “I don’t know, I’m uncomfortable with restricting the sewer service,” said Jean Goodine who sits on both boards. “If my house is located in an area that receives the sewer service, how can I tell smother neighbor who is also residing in the Piedmont area that they won’t.” “I thought our intent was to provide this service to the entire Tbwn of Washington.” Town attorney John Bennett weighed in. “If you don’t define your sewer system to include the entire Ibwn of Washington, I think you might create a situation that could ultimately cause significant issues.” Gary Schwartz, chairman of the planning commission, seemed to sum up aptly the group’s apprehension. “I think that we have been trying to control growth in and around the town through the sewer system and our definition of its parameters.” Providing sewer service to the entire area encompassed in the Tbwn of Washington grid would address not only failing septic systems but new and future systems. However, it would also open the door for future development within and close to the Ibwn and that addressed another challenging issue — what kind of development growth will the Ibwn tolerate? Lots could be created that are large with clearly limited building envelopes or small lots with only the house and a yard site. They could be developed away from the histone portion of the town with access from private access easements. Preserving the rural character and history of the Ibwn of Washington could be accomplished by limiting residential development to maintain rural viewsheds with a density of one house per acre or one house to 1.5 to 5 acres. Rather than spreading the development of new homes, they could be clustered or blended into the landscape. Herd summarized in that evening’s report his conclusions: “The Town desires to provide sewer service to all properties within corporate limits and to avoid any immediate downzoning actions. However, the Town also desires to fnaintain its historic character, especially the integrity of its “historic core” and the open, rural quality of its edges.” Herd presented the group with several zoning ordinance options for further consideration: • control the siting of new structures • amend the text of the rural residential district to limit density and encourage clustering • amend the text of the rural residential district to require clustering • amend the text of the rural residential district to require greater setbacks from public roads • amend the text of the rural residential district to require greater frontage on public roads • engage key property owners in site planning efforts • create a Citizen Advisory Committee for Comprehensive Rezoning Process “There’s no easy answer,” admitted Herd, “it’s a painful process.” Speak up Local Rappahannock resident Don Audette, who sat quietly taking notes during the several hour session, commented. “These meetings are very important to the town. There should be more people here.” The next joint meeting of the Washington Tbwn Council and the Washington Tbwn Planning Commission to continue discussions of the Comprehensive Plan will be on Monday, June 27, starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Washington Tbwn Hall.

Having been a country store for over sixty years, Hillsdale was purchased by its current owners, Bob and Neeru Ghuman in 2002. With no gas offered at the time, the Ghumans had their work cut out installing the gas and updating the store. “It took us about three or four months to get the store ready,” said owner Bob Ghuman. The Ghumans, at the time living in Sterling, Va., were looking for a way to get out of the hustle and bustle of that growing area. They had driven through Rappahannock County many a time on their way to Luray Caverns and when their real estate agent told them there was a business for sale in the area they jumped on it. “We looked at it and never gave it a second thought,” said Bob who added, “It only took us a week to get used to the area.” The Ghumans have done much to update the store. Along with the addition of the gasoline, they have enhanced the sandwich making, added made-to-order pizzas and a Western Union facility. Ghuman explained that they were trying to add more to the convenience aspect of the store. Approximately 70 percent of Hillsdale’s customers are locals, except on the weekends when tourists make up 50 percent of their business. “I have customers who have been coming to this store when it first opened and they were kids. Now they come in and talk about all the change they see going on in the county,” noted Bob. The Ghumans have still more planned for the store and they are hoping to begin pizza delivery to businesses in the area. They have also planned to have movies for rent in the near future. With all this happening in the past three years it is a I—s—a---1 y »ff m I Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Ruth Purnei: HILLSDALE OWNERS: (from left to right) Debbie Frye, a sales assistant, helps out Bob and Neeru Ghuman, owners of the Hillsdale General Store. wonder the Ghumans have been able to take on another venture, The Boston General Store. Boston General Located in the tiny town of Boston, is the Ghumans second business venture. An old country store for close to 80 years, the Boston store was purchased by the Ghumans in August of 2004. “We are trying to get the old convenience store back to a place customers can rely on,” said Ghuman who explained they want to always have the essentials in stock. The Ghumans have done much of the same to update the Boston store that they did with Hillsdale, minus the addition of gas. Sandwiches are freshly made, and pizza is also available to order. With the success of Hillsdale, the Ghumans saw the Boston store as an opportunity to branch out. “Since the two stores are so far apart I am not in competition with myself,” said Bob. Running the two stores is quite a task for the couple. “It’s a lot of hours, but it is something we like doing,” said Bob who added, “our relationships with our customers are the first thing. The locals are very friendly and it makes us want to stay here and be around the same customers.” With a total of five employees the Ghumans have help, but can still be seen working the register themselves. Hillsdale is open from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturdays, and 6 a.m. to 9 - p.m. Sundays. The Boston General Store is open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays. The Ghumans will be offering a special deal to customers for the month of June. With the purchase of two large pizzas all toppings are free and you can get a free two liter Pepsi product.

School News Rappahannock County Public Schools Preparation is underway for International Festival By Natalie Hill Special to the Rappahannock News Momentum for the Third Annual International Festival on June 8 is building at both Rappahannock County Public School campuses as students eagerly transform their classrooms into exotic international locations. At the high school, glimpses into the classrooms already reveal displays of artifacts, photos, and artwork. Tenth graders Kelli Maige and Virginia Staley were busily painting art teacher Joy Sours’ door with symbols from Germany. “This year the students, along with their first period teachers, were given a country to represent. The teachers assigned projects and the decorating began,” said Staley. On the day of the International Festival students will be free to explore all of the nations set up in individual classrooms. Students will be able to savor the culture and food of various countries that will include France, Egypt, Canada, Germany, Argentina, Kenya, Ireland, Morocco, Afghanistan, Greece, China, Chile, Poland, Mexico, Venezuela, England, and Turkey. Nathan Hartshorn, a tenth grade student in Natalie Hill’s English class, is helping her design a passport that students will carry and have stamped every time they visit a country. “Nathan is terrific at graphic arts,” said Hill. “He didn’t hesitate when I asked for his input at graphically designing my rudimentary drawing.” Mike Strand’s Entrepreneurship class has enthusiastically been working on creating the English pub experience. Ninth grader “L.B.” Larry Brown Settle said, “We have been researching pub names and have decided on The Happy Mushroom.” Fantastic food flavors While visitors won’t be able to imbibe traditional pub beverages, they will be able to ingest scones with lemon curd provided by the RCHS Culinary Arts program. The program, headed by Mary Arthur, promises to outdo last year’s menu. At both campuses, tantalizing samples of foreign foods will be offered such as: crepes suzette and chocolate mousse from France; tamales with tomatillo sauce from Mexico; empanadas from Argentina; souvlaka from Greece; baklava from Turkey; lamb meatballs with couscous from Morocca; and bul gogi from Korea. Additionally students at RCHS will have the chance to sample sushi from Japan and doro wat from Ethiopia. Picnic lunches will be provided al fresco. RCHS students will enjoy a spectacular display of the Thai art of fruit and vegetable carving by a Thai sculptor graciously provided by the Embassy of Thailand. Hear the sounds of ‘Solazo’ After the students enjoy the tastes and visual delights of the festival, they will be escorted to the high school auditorium for a professional performance of Latin American music. RCPS is pleased to provide accommodations for the headlining act, Solazo, a group of five extraordinary singers and musicians. Solazo will be performing at both schools and RCPS believes that the schools are fortunate to have this valuable “cross-cultural experience” available to the students. Solazo is being jointly sponsored by the RCPS, CEP (Curriculum Enrichment Program), RAAC (Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community) and Headwaters Global Spotlights program. CEP and RAAC have been co-sponsoring performances for the schools and community for many years, including for the International Festival, an event which was started by Headwaters, the Rappahannock Coun Photo Courtesy of Kathie Russo ALICE IN AMERICA LAND: Wakefield Country Day School students perform “Alice in America Land.” Pictured from left to right: Mouse (Katherine Russo), Eagle (Jordan Hammelman), Dodo (Maria Herraiz Muro), and Alice (Rachel Marx) ty Public Education Foundation three year ago. After Solazo’s performance RCHS students can watch other fun activities such as the sheep dog trials with border collie demonstrations presented by Richmond’s Dr. Karen Lacy.Demon mirations will be held outdoors in the playing fields. Scottish highland games and Oriental dancers Principal Roger Mello’s Scottish Highland Games promise to be a big draw. Mello will introduce students to several events. “Students will have an opportunity to compete in familiar Scottish competitions like tug-o-war, “turning the caber,” sheaf toss, and putting stones,” said Mello. It is rumored that Mr. Mello will be wearing a kilt. Great Fashions Every Day! VALID THRU JUNE 5 Extra 150/oOff ANY SINGLE ITEM4 VALID ON REG. PRICE, SALE OR CLEARANCE.

Egypt and other Middle Eastern traditions. They will be performing at both the elementary and high school. Mastering the martial arts Additionally at RCHS, Jeff Schwartz and company from the Five Rings Martial Arts Academy in Front Royal will be demonstrating a range of martial arts in the high school gym. Five Rings believes that the practice of martial arts benefits students by helping them to focus, instill discipline and respect, and foster self-defense stating that “it is important for each child to learn to set shortterm, intermediate, and longterm goals.” The International Festival has certainly evolved since its beginning three years ago. Rosa Crocker, a member of CEP said, “this event couldn’t possibly be mounted without the cooperation of everyone in the chain from cafeteria and custodial staff, to classroom teachers, student clubs, and administrators. Everyone is pitching in and looking forward to a successful outcome. This festival will give all RCPS students the opportunity to learn from a multi-cultural abundance of sights, sounds, aromas and tastes.” Wakefield Country Day School On Wednesday, May 25th, WCDS celebrated the promotion of its kindergarten students and the achievements of the preschool students and prekindergarteners. The children processed into the auditorium, Head of School Kathleen Grove gave the invocation, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, and kindergarten teacher Kathy Nilan made opening remarks. The preschool then sang “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” the pre-kindergarten recited the poem “All Things Bright and Beautiful,” and then each kindergarten student came to the stage and individually recited a particular favorite poem, showing amazing poise and confidence as they recited such Photo courtesy of Kathie Russo KINDERGARTEN GRADUATES: The Wakefield Country Day School Kindergartners pose for a class graduation picture. works as “March” by William Wordsworth, “Now I Am Six” by A.A. Milne, “Things to Remember” by James Reeves, “May” by John Updike, and “The Frost Pane” by David McCord. Then each student received a diploma or certificate, and all the children sang “It’s A Grand Old Flag ” Drama Club presents ‘Alice in America Land’ Thursday evening, the WCDS Drama Club performed its extremely entertaining version of “Alice in America Land,” a modem day parody on Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland.” The two-act play had its audience in stitches at the antics of its characters, which included a rabbit, two queens, a hatter, a hare, a caterpillar, a mouse, and other thoroughly entertaining performers. The play starred senior Rachel Marx as Alice, with a great supporting cast consisting of ninth through twelfth graders, with special cameo appearances by several third graders as the ill-fated Oysters. Directed by drama teacher Kristin Hauger, this play had great lines, costumes and sets, and the school anxiously awaits next year’s thespian presentation. Keeping in shape Under the leadership of physical education teacher Julie Vaught, WCDS’ level of physical fitness is on the rise. Last year, the school had 15 National awards and two Presidential Fitness awards, and this year those numbers have jumped to 27 National awards and 16 Presidential awards. Hearthstone School Hearthstone School will enjoy a graduation ceremony for kindergarten through eighth grade on June 3rd. Their annual Canoe Trip, sponsored by Down River Canoe Company in Bentonville, will take place on June 6 and 7, allowing students and their families to experience an overnight camping adventure where they spend the day kayaking or canoeing down the rapids of the Shenandoah River.

Band Coffee House will feature New Orleans Flair By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Taking the band “on the road” can pa> big dividends— as it did for the Rappahannock County High School Band this past week when they took top regional honors in Hershey, Pennsylvania. But it also takes lots of hard work and lots of money. To help with band expenses not provided by the school (like new instruments paid for by private donations, car washes, and bake sales), the RCHS Band is holding a Coffee House with a New Orleans Flair on Saturday, June 4 between 6:00 and 9:00 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Elementary School auditorium. To make it a real party, the organizers have lined up a variety of entertainment. Singers, instrumentalists, poets (includ ing poetry by RCHS principal Roger Mello), and musicians such as Brian Taylor, Anthony Clinedinst, Dontez, Robert Glasker, the RCHS “Jazz Ensemble,” and many more. As a bonus, music lovers also will be treated to a solo performance by the prize-winning band director, Matt Yonkey. There is a $5.00 admission fee for the show. Students are $2.00. Once inside, attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy the “New Orleans Flair” aspect of the evening: Jambalaya with red beans and rice, plus a salad* for only $5.00. Desserts and beverages also will be available at $1.00 each. The Panther Band Boosters invites the community to come out and enjoy themselves and help in this important effort to rally round the band

Rapp girls win Bull Run District championship By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Going into the Bull Run District tournament seeded third meant that the Rappahannock County High School girls’ softball team had to work a bit harder, playing in the first round of tournament action, to make it to the final dance. However, that did not deter a group of Panthers who have paced themselves throughout the spring season - learning through trial and error that ‘slow and steady win the race.’ On Saturday evening, the Panthers traveled to Madison County, having earned a birth at the district championship against Madison County High School, and came home with a district championship under its belt, downing the Mountaineers 10-1. “It just feels good to win,” team coach Ritchie Burke said calmly after his team undecidedly dominated the first seed team. Rebecca Tupper started the game off for the Panthers at bat, nailing a single to third, followed by a sacrifice bunt by Jamie Jacobs to advance Tupper. That combination would edge the Panthers into scoring position several times during the outing. Christina Naramore came to hat, hitting a double to score Tupper, bringing Katie Burke to the plate. Burke singled, and then a single pop-up to third by senior Rachel Gall for 2 RBI’s put Rappahannock in a secure position to start the game. Tapper returned on defense, in her usual playing position as pitcher. Striking out 12 Mountaineer batters, and only walking two, Tupper remained in the driver’s seat, keeping Madison from scoring until the fourth inning. By then, Rapp had alreadyadded three more runs on the board in the third when senior Danielle North came to bat with bases loaded, flying out, but not before Noel Johns scored, followed by a double by Crystal Heflin, scoring two more runs, putting the Panthers ahead with a decisive 6-0 lead. The fourth. inning added insult-to-injury when Rapp’s Sarah Mills walked to the plate with bases loaded, nailing a single for two RBI’s, followed by a See BULL RUN, Page A8 SAFE AT THIRD: Rappahannock County High School’s Rebecca Tupper heads into third base against George Mason in first round action of the Bull Run District tournament.

Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers.com Boys soccer ends with .500 season By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County High School boys’ soccer team held its own throughout the season, which came to an end on May 26, against a defending state-championship George Mason team, 5-0. However, in first round Bull Rim District tournament action, RCHS defeated Strasburg, 2-0. “We fought, clawed and bit our way to .500,” laughed Rapp’s coach Shay Bell in a telephone interview. In past seasons, Rappahannock has easily defeated the Strasburg Rams, but this sea soil the Panthers faced a different team, one who knew how to win. Going into tournament action, each team had won one game against the other, so according to Bell, it was anyone’s contest. “I changed the game plan a bit, planning to have more possessions in the defensive set and then switched to a scoring set,” Bell said. That change in plans originally did not include putting Matt Lawrey back into action, following seven weeks in a cast for a broken foot, but within three-minutes after going into Rapp girls soccer posts win in district tourney By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County High School girls’ soccer team posted its first win of the season in playoff action, downing Manassas Park, 1-0 on May 24. Rapp’s Virginia Stickley rebounded in mid-field, kicking the ball into the air. The Cougar’s goalie could not deflect the rebound, allowing the Rapp score in the first half of play. “It was a very intense game,” J. C. Maldonando, Rapp coach, said. The coach praised several players for outstanding contributions to the team, including Osha Kondori, Caity Waites and Camilla Holte. “Osha is one of the best players,” Maldonando said, excitedly, “she plays for the people in the stadium. Caity, she is the best, goalie in the district and Camilla runs like she is saying ‘I need to score, I need to score’.” Rapp went into the second round of tournament action, facing undefeated Clarke County, losing 5-0. In the first half of play, Waites stopped over 30 goal attempts by the Eagles, and just as many in the second half. However, with only 1:37 left tsmatamma Massaga msBaEaaeia^gMi Rappahannock News Photo/Ann Spieker STRONG CONTRIBUTOR: Praised as a strong contributor to the Panther’s first season win, Osha Kondori dribbles the ball downfield against Manassas Park in Bull Run District tournament action. in the first half, the first score was made by a desperate Eagle offense. “The first half showed what these girls can do,” said Maldonando, “I will never forget them, my first team at Rappahannock.” Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers.com Rapp competes in regional track and field events Regional track and field events were held at Monticello High School last week, with 22 schools present in Region B action. Representing Rappahannock County High School were Tymeyer Freeman who placed 20th in the region with a discus throw of 110-feet, 6-inches, Samantha Brown placed 8th in .he region in high jump at 5-feet and Emily Raney placed 17th in the region in the triple jump with a jump of 30-feet, 2inches in field events. Raney also represented Rapp in two track events, placing 8th in the region in the 400 meter run with a personal best time of 65.15-seconds and 18th in the region in the 200 meter dash with a personal best time of 29.2-seconds. Horse Inc. Mr/ Po, (540) 409-6887 e Will Get A Good scoring set, Lawrey set up the goal, scoring for the Panthers. Later in the game it would be a Lawrey penalty kick that would win the game for Rappahannock, 2-0. Second round tournament action against George Mason High School would not be so good for the Panthers, largely due to three of its starters being out of the mix. With the lack in the line-up, Bell looked to several jayvee players to fill his bench. “It’s kind of funny that these guys started the season having never played soccer before as ninth-graders and I ended up facing a state championship team for the final game,” Bell said. The Panthers held George Mason to only one goal in the first half, but could not maintain a solid defense, losing 5-0 to a team who would go into Region B action with a free ride due to its district record. “We were hoping to sneak up on them, but it is tough to play two games in a row,” said Bell. RCHS ended its season 7-73 overall and 4-4-2 in the district. Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers.com Athlete of the Month When coaches nominate an athlete, it is expected. However, this month’s Rappahannock News Athleti of the Month was nominatec by a bus driver as well. Matt Lawrey, a junior at Rappahannock County High School, started off the 2005 soccer season as his coach, Shay Bell, expected — with gusto and an extreme asset to the team. Shortly after the season began, Lawrey broke three bones in his foot, keeping him in an anchor position on the Panther bench. Last week the Panther boys’ soccer team entered the Bui Run District tournament without Lawrey in the line-up in the coach’s mind. But that decision did not last long, and Lawrey was put in to play — scoring not one, but both of the winning goals for Rapp. “He sat out for two months, watching us play,” Bell said of Lawrey, “he was just Matt Lawrey hungry to get in the game.” Chris Keyser, who has been transporting Lawrey for years back and forth to Rappahannock schools, has been greatly impressed by the student/athlete’s work ethics.

No smal feat, as the competition foi making a college cheerleading squad is much more thar making a high school varsitj squad. Kelsey is also ajfiaal istin a National CheerleatKhg Scholarship to which she has applied for to assist with hei continued studies at Willian and Mary. Kelsey’s determination ant focus to her sport has alway: been one that has amazed me. She is one that never gives up, and has always given 100 peri cent. Her drive to succeed has i paid off being selected to the elite group of cheerleaders at ; William and Mary. I am so .* ' glad 1 had the opportunity to »-coacIi her and want her to ^".iaow that while I am so very f proud of her, she will be i missed terribly. This is a great honor for i both Kelsey and our high school. Kelsey is the second [ cheerleader from our varsity i squad here at Rappahannock to be selected to a college cheerleading squad. Last year, Ms. Melanie Tbrrance was selected to the Mary Washington Cheerleading Squad. These two young ladies have fulfilled every coach’s dream of having one of their own selected to a college squad. They have no doubt fulfilled mine and both should be proud of all they have accomplished!

The new softball field has been named Lady bug Field. Warrenton over Memorial Day weekend, taking part in a Memorial Day Bash that kicked off the youth All-star season. Five teams that participated in the tournament from Manassas, Herndon, West Virginia, Fauquier and Rappahannock. Rappahannock started off strong in the first inning of action on Friday evening, but fell to Fauquier in five innings of play, 16-11. Rapp started off well in the first inning as Bradley Frye, John Anderson, Brock Smith and Tyler Wilson all stroked base hits in consecutive atbats scoring four runs. Defensively, Hunter Elliot nailed a left field catch in the third inning, followed by a Brandon Higgins diving catch at second base in the fourth to kill a Fauquier rally. “This was the first compet itive game Rappahannock had played in tournament action this year,” said coach Brian Smith. On Saturday, Rapp faced the Manassas Slammers, dominating scoring action, 5-0. The game went unscored until the third inning when Brock Smith nailed a two-run triple, followed by a single by Tyler Wilson to score the third run of the inning. With Andrew Lambdin on the mound for Rappahannock and Frye at shortstop, Rappahannock advanced to the championship bracket of the tournament, returning to the field for play on Sunday where they faced first-place Herndon. Rapp went head-to-head with Herndon, trailing 5-0 until the fourth inning when Rapp’s Brock Smith pulled out a power-hit, scoring three runs for the team. However, the win was not to be for Rapp as Herndon pulled in seven runs in the fourth, downing Rappahannock 12-3. Rappahannock faced Fauquier once again in the consolation bracket, edging in the lead early in the game. Fauquier would not be defeated, battling out to the end with a 14-14 tie. “I have never been more proud of a group of young men in all of my coaching career. They found a way to compete with much bigger baseball programs. They never gave up in any game and in my book they played like champions,” said Smith of his team. The Rappahannock 8 and under team will take the field again Sunday, June 12, hosting Fauquier and Madison County in a three-game invitational at Stuart Field in Amissville. / i Athlete From Page A7 “He is well behaved, mature and a very academic student,” Keyser said, “He’s a great young man who seems to work hard at everything he does.” As well as playing soccer for his high school team, Lawrey also plays for the Soccer Organization of Charlottesville-Albemarle, a travel soccer team. Not only is Lawrey an athlete, but also a member of the National Honor Society for Rappahannock County High School. His hobbies include snowboarding, music, reading and of course, soccer. Lawrey is the son of Sarah Ann Lawrey and James Donald Lawrey from Washington, Va. Paddler Update Last week, the Rappahannock News reported on the canoe journey of Richard “Freeman” Allan. One of his last messages spoke of his canoe-side scaly chums. “Freeman” has canoed from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama,” reported his wife. “And, he has entered alligator territory! He says the alligators are 9-15 ft. long, and his canoe is 15 ft.! I don’t like the sound of that! “Freeman” phoned his wife Saturday from the Lock Master’s Station south of Montgomery, where he is going through a series of three locks on the river. He reported that a 9 ft. alligator was ‘waggling right toward the canoe, and scared the beejezus out of me!’ But, then he splashed his paddle in the water and the alligator turned and swam away. Whew!” And, typical of Richard, he also said, “this trip has taken a lot out of me, but it has given me so much.” That’s all the news from Alligator River. Keep him — and me in your prayers. Joyce Allan Bull Run From Page A7 North bunt for a single RBI and then a sacrifice bunt by Heflin for run number 10 for the Panthers. With the stands filled with both Rapp and Madison fans, the cheers in the Rappahannock dug-out could be heard loudly over the desperate Madison fans shouting, “Come on girls, get your heads up.” Jacobs was named first team out-fielder of the Bull Run District. The Panthers advanced to final round action by defeating George Mason in first round action of the Bull Run District tournament, 185. Taking the win in the circle for the Panthers was sophomore Rebecca Tupper, striking out three, wallring one and giving up only four hits in four innings. Freshman pitcher Crystal Heflin closed for Tupper, also striking out three, walking one, giving up no hits in her three innings in the pitcher’s circle. Christina Naramore led the offense going 3:3 with two RBI’s, followed by Jamie Jacobs who went 2:5 with three RBI’s. Tupper went 2:4 with four RBI’s, senior Rachel Gall was 2:4 with two RBI’s, Katie Burke went 2:3 with one RBI, Sarah Mills was 2:4 with one RBI and Heflin rounded out the offense going 2:2.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Ruth Purnell Joyce Abell and Trista Scheuerlein ' GREEN GODDESS: Trista Sheuerlein inspects her green house in which she has thousands of thriving plants. POPE YE POWER: Trista Scheuerlein si o vs off the fresh spinach she has been growing Fanning partnership pays off By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock resident Joyce Abell wants to see the land she has farmed for 17 years preserved. In order to do this Abell has made a unique connection with a young, aspiring farmer, Trista Sheuerlein. Together they have forged a farming partnership and come to an agreement on how to utilize the land in a way that meets both their needs. Abell and her late husband Richard farmed their land for 17 years, growing asparagus, lettuce, raspberries, and many other kinds of produce. They sold to local restaurants and markets and their asparagus in particular has been coveted by residents of the county for many years. Abell, a city girl by nature, knew nothing of farming when she and her husband started the farm all those years ago. Richard, who studied and received a bachelors degree in horticulture in college, taught Joyce his knowledge of working the land. After being diagnosed with polio at the age of 22, it was difficult for Richard to put his degree to active use, so farming was put aside and he became a history teacher. It was not until many years later that he was able to work with this wife to fulfill their dream of farming. Abell’s land means a great deal to her and she wants to see it put to good use. Meeting and getting to know the young intern at Waterpenny Farm made that happen. The Sheuerlein connection Sheuerlein describes herself as one generation removed from farming. With a grandmother who lived on a farm and a mother who swore she would never pick another vegetable again, Sheuerlein grew up in suburbia. But her family connection to farming was still a presence in her life as Sheuerlein’s grandmother had a small garden of her own and made sure her granddaughter Was introduced to it. After graduating from high school, Sheuerlein attended Appalachian State University in Boon, North Carolina, where she majored in English and minored in Biology and Sustainable Development. Sheuerlein soon learned that the latter was her true passion and she avidly studied farming techniques, especially organics. After college Sheuerlein took a job working for The Food Alliance, a nonprofit organization in Portland, Oregon that certified farmers using sustainable agriculture practices. Tired of grant writing for the Alliance, Sheuerlein tried her hand at something new and traveled to Chile to work on a farm for fours months. There she lived in a small tent, worked on the farm, and learned to make goat cheese by hand as part of a program called Willing Workers on Organic Farms (WWOOF). Upon her return to the United States, Sheuerlein decided she needed to be closer to her home in North Carolina, and found herself an internship at Waterpenny Farm in Sperryville, Va. “I chose Waterpenny because it involved a young couple just starting up and I wanted to learn the process of starting up a farm,” said Sheuerlein. Finding roots in Rappahannock Soon after she made Rappahannock her home, Sheuerlein fell in love with the area. “Rappahannock is a unique place of artists and musicians and real people living reed lives,” said Sheuerlein. After a two-year internship at Waterpenny, Sheuerlein decided it was time to branch out and started her own farm, Peacevine Farm. Peacevine Farm spent its first year on the property of John Kirshner and Maiy Walsh. After a horrendous season of rain and hurricanes, Sheuerlein’s crop was left completely submerged in water and Sheuerlein realized she would have to relocate. It was then that Abell and Sheuerlein connected. In her first year as an intern at Waterpenny, Sheuerlein had visited Abell’s property many a time to tend the asparagus beds Abell had signed over to Waterpenny. • “One day I was looking at an iris on Joyce’s property and it suddenly popped open. It was then that I thought this place would be a paradise to five in,” recounted Sheuerlein. As the old tenant in Abell’s cottage was leaving, Trista decided to make her move and asked Abell if she could rent the small house. Abell agreed and knowing , Trista’s work with Waterpenny had something else in mind. It was not long before the two decided to draw up a contract, allowing Sheuerlein to farm an acre of Abell’s land in return for providing Abell with fresh vegetables and taking care of her and her property. Peacevine Farm is now budding with life, and Sheuerlein is well into her third season with the farm, this being her second on Abell’s property. “We meet once a week to talk about priorities,” said Abell. “Because we can communicate, we don’t disappoint each other. Trust is one of the primary things you need to give and get and it has been a beautiful relationship since we have worked it out,” continued Abell. “I feel like this has given me the opportunity to make Peacevine happen and become a part of the community,” said Sheuerlein who explained she could never afford to purchase her own farmland. “Because Trista has a base she feels good with, she can be creative in so many ways. I see her expanding and it makes me feel good that I can help her become, firmly, a part of the community,” said Abell. Sheuerlein said she thinks it will take five years for her farm to make a profit, but in the mean time she is hard at work tending her land and harvesting her produce to sell at the Warrenton Farmer’s Market. Her wares include fresh cut flowers, herbs, greens, heirloom tomatoes, and this year winter squash. “I could not have done this without support and it is amazing people can come together and make a goal happen like this,” said Sheuerlein. Abell and Sheuerlein would be happy and willing to discuss how their farming partnership has worked or answer any questions.

Rappahannock native Noah Waggner is their lead singer and guitarist. By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News With the release of a new CD and two free downloads of their most popular songs (“Let the Party Rock” and “Rude Rock Family”) on their Internet site, the fresh and electrifying music of Rappahannock’s own “Rude Rock Family” band is being heard and appreciated in countries around the world. Rude Rock Family bills the group as a band that offers dancehall to dance club, punk rock to electro-funk, and reggae to country western. This lively group of young musicians from Sperryville hopes to set the world on fire— musically speaking. Their website (www.ruderockfamily.com) describes the group as “a time traveling band back from the future to save the planet- from eminent musical doom.” Their fans say their music provides “the beat of a tribe and the rhymes of a madman.” The band has been recording for about a year and a half. Commenting on the release of their new recording “Hi-Fi Super Sessions, Volume 1” as an EP (for extended play vs. regular long play CDs), Noah Wuggner, the lead singer, points out: “It is a brave new world for music. The days of paying thousands of dollars to a major label to promote music are disappearing in the world of digital music and the Internet.” As a mark of their popularity, Rude Rock Family music is now being offered 4.

The birds, not the baseball team. Recently we’ve been seeing both Baltimore and orchard orioles. They nest and spend the summer in Virginia before migrating to their wintering grounds in Mexico and South America. They are among the last migratory birds to appear in the spring and the first to leave in the fall. The Baltimore oriole (Icterus galbula) was named by Linnaeus (based on a specimen collected in Virginia!), and is among the most recognizable of passerine birds. The common name honors Sir George Calvert, 1st Baron of Baltimore, because the bright orange male coloration resembles his lively or coat of arms. Baltimore oriole males arrive here slightly ahead of females, stiike out territories and await the females. Open woodlands and orchards are most attractive to them, and they return to the same areas every year. Females build pendulous sock-like nests of fine bark strips, lined with grass, hair and even string from our tomato ties. They produce one clutch of eggs per season and both parents feed the fledglings. RappNature Sara and Jim Lawrey Afterwards, males tend to be solitary and the females and juveniles flock together. Everyone forages for insects and fruits the rest of the season before returning south. Baltimore orioles are very common east of the Rockies and a similar species, Bullock’s oriole (I. bullockii), is more common in the west. The two kinds of orioles are similar in their habits but quite distinctive in appearance. The male Bullock’s orioles have an orange head with a black crown instead of the all-black head of Baltimore orioles. Checklists of North American Birds published by the American Ornithologists’ Union listed these as separate species in 1957. Then in 1983, the AOU listed them together in a single species called the Northern oriole. Then in 1995, the AOU listed them as a separate species again. Why all the name changes? The main reason for the confusion is that Baltimore and Bullock’s orioles commonly interbreed where their breeding ranges overlap in the Great Plains. This has been recognized since the early 1900s and represents one of the best-known examples of a “hybrid zone” in ornithology. Studies suggest that hybrids form readily in large part because there is little evidence for mating preferences based on species. Hybrids also commonly backcross with parental species, and all hybrid forms appear to be as viable as the parental species. The high frequency of hybridization among these orioles suggests a close See ORIOLES, Page B2 r Photo courtesy of Yankee Gardner Baltimore j Orioles ! i Bill Allred’s Classic Jazz Band will bring to a close The Theatre’s spring season on June 11. Photo courtesy of The Theatre Classic Jazz to end Theatre season — take it to the max! By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News Bill Allred’s Classic Jazz Band will bring the spring season at the Theatre at Washington, Virginia to a close with a flourish on June 11. The popular eight piece band from Florida has a wide ranging repertoire spanning 1920s jazz to swing from the 1930s and 40s, to present day arrangements. Bill Allred, the band’s leader, described the music they will be playing for the upcoming concert at the Theatre. It will be “a mixed program from early New Orleans and Chicago type jazz through the swing era. From music of Bix, Beiderbecke and Louis Armstrong to the ‘30s and ‘40s swing hits of Dorsey, Goodman and Basie,” said Allred. This will contrast nicely with the series of jazz guitar concerts held at the Theatre earlier in the year. The band comprises leader and trombonist Bill AJlred, trumpeters Charlie Bertini and Bob Pickwood, See THEATRE, Page B7 Photo courtesy of Janet Brome “King Wren” A painting by Steve Kenny One Foot Square The Middle Street Gallery invites you to see their new show, “One Foot Square* where all paintings are no bigger than one foot square and all sculptures are one cubed foot or less.

On Palm Sunday 1937, the stained glass windows depicting the life of Christ were dedicated. The altar windows were moved to Trinity in 1982 from The Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Sperryville, which had become inactive. The original altar windows were placed in the wall of the new parish hall auuiuuii. The brick courtyard garth between the church buildings was developed in the 1990s as a memorial garden.

Rude Rock From Page B1 on each download, not an insignificant amount when one theoretically considers a world market for their popular music. “For the moment, however, that is only a pipe dream,” says band member John Whissel. Members of the band are a diverse group Interviewed at a jam session in their recording studio and workspace, known as The Lab, behind the Oldway Art Center on the Rush River in Sperryville, each member of the band stands out uniquely having specific talents — not only in music but in their “real fives.” Noah Waggner, the lead singer who also plays the guitar and keyboard, is a Rappahannock native (“Gid Brown Hollow,” he proudly proclaimed). He also worked with the D.C. punk band “Daycare Swindlers” as well as a local favorite group, “Stick Em Up”. In his “real life,” Noah has become a talented builder of tables at Antique Tables Made Daily. Playing the trumpet and tambourine as well as cowbell and percussion is the multi-talented Trista Scheuerlein. After doing an internship at a farm in Chile, Scheuerlein came to Rappahannock County as an intern at Waterpenny Farm, and now works for Headwater’s Farm-to-Table program. She also owns a small market garden farm (Peacevine) and manages Joyce Abell’s farm. John Whissel, who plays a mean electric fretless bass, is a trained scientist, originally from Buffalo, New York. He came to Rappahannock County several years ago on contract with the U.S. Geological Survey to do fish studies with the National Park Service. Whissel now is a teacher of the fifth and sixth grades at Hearthstone School. Long-time Castleton resident, Chris Moyles whose fingers can make the Variax guitar dance and sound like most any stringed instrument, has played Mark this date for music! Rude Rock Family Concert June 4 The band will hold a “party” on June 4 starting “around 6:00 p.m. until around 11:00 p.m.” at the amphitheater behind the Oldway Art Center on Highway 211 just west of Sperryville. Joining the group will be the “Lucky So Far”, “The Quantum Repairmen” and other musician “friends of the family.” There may also be a glass blowing demonstration by Eric Kvames. Several visual artists will also show their work. In addition, Frisbee golf and badminton will be played. The cost of admission is $7.00 and all are welcome, including kids (where there will be a discount). No alcohol or glass bottles are allowed on the grounds but much fun is promised for all. L music with Noah Waggner since the two were in the third grade. In Moyles’ real life, he is a consultant with a leading affordable housing nonprofit, the Fauquier Housing Corporation. Steve Smith is the band’s incredible drummer, but because of his expertise on so many instruments, his bandmates describe him as “the ‘they’ in the band.” Smith, from J nearby Linden, has played with “Stick Em Up” as well. In his real life, he has become a master boat builder for the Blue Ridge Boat Works in Little Washington. Rounding out Rude Rock’s “extended family,” are Dontz Harris (sax and percussion), Steve Van Dam (guitar, sax — See RUDE ROCK, Page B3 Orioles From Page B1 genetic relationship between the two, and recent investigations using DNA sequence information confirm this. Similar east-west hybrid zones can be seen for 14 pairs of bird species. The most common hybrids are formed between the rufous-sided (east) and the spotted (west) towhees, the yellow-shafted (east) and redshafted (west) flickers, the tuft ed (east) and black-crested (west) titmice, and the indigo (east) and Lazuli (west) buntings. East-west patterns of differentiation are commonly observed in widespread birds, plants and mammals. They are thought to have originated during the formation of the Great Plains by the most recent glacial period 10,000 years ago, which separated large woodland populations of organisms into eastern and western halves. Continued separation ap parently led to genetic differentiation, but in many cases not enough to lead to complete reproductive isolation. For birds like orioles that nest in wooded areas, breeding territories have opened up since the last glaciation as trees recolonized, either naturally or through human activities, and hybrid zones expanded. Because the environment is constantly changing, hybrid zones are also quite dynamic. There is evidence that the Baltimore oriole is pushing west in some places and the Bullock’s is pushing east in others. Birders, both amateur and professional, are helping to establish the rate of movement and the reasons behind this dynamism. It would be fun to have a hybrid zone here in the county so we could see all the different hybrid forms and the interactions that create them. But orioles are spectacular no matter how we see them and we’re quite content with our Baltimore and orchard orioles. Send your oriole sightings to u6 at rappnature@aol.com.

It does so in a climate of grief that allows the sci row of one to become the sorrows of all. As such, a funeral is an occasion in which love is given, without any expectation of anything in return. It is an occasion of generosity, in which the community can pay its respects, and that allows people to remember and honor their loved one in a special way. As a central gathering place, the funeral encourages mourners to face the pain of their loss and express their thoughts and feelings. Amidst this supportive atmosphere, mourners can begin the grief process and move forward. While we never have complete closure on all serious griefs, we do move on and reorganize our lives to include that Joss. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we’re here to help you create a service that honors your loved one appropriately. We’re at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton. Call 347-3431 to set up an appointment.

Beware of deer ticks Lyme disease changes quality of life for those bitten by deer ticks By Jan Clatterbuck Rappahannock News Staff Writer With the warm weather approaching and everyone heading to enjoy the outdoors, being active and getting exercise, there are tiny creatures out there looking to enjoy themselves as well — be on the lookout for ticks that can carry threatening diseases. Lyme disease is one of the most common of these diseases yet a challenge to diagnose. It is caused by spirochete or a type of bacteria called borrelia burgdorferi, which affects humans. People get Lyme disease when they are bitten by a tick carrying this spirochete. This disease organism is vectored by a hard tick, Ixodes dammini, which commonly attacks white-tailed deer. Ixodes dammini has a rather complex two-year life cycle. Eggs are deposited in the spring and the tiny larvae emerge several weeks later. These ticks feed once during the summer, usually for two days on the blood of small mammals such as field mice. Larvae molt the following spring into nymphs, which also feed once for three to four days, during the summer, either on field mice or larger mammals such as dogs, deer or humans. It is the nymphal stage of Ixodes dammini which is most likely to attack and bite humans. These nymphs will then molt into adults in the fall. Adult ticks attach themselves to a host, usually the white-tailed deer, where they then mate. The adult male ticks then fall off the host and die, and the females obtain the blood meal necessary for successful egg production. Antibiotics are an effective treatment if it is caught in the early stage. How do I know if I have Lyme disease? The symptoms of Lyme disease can be severe, including headaches to more serious nervous system disorders, symptoms resembling arthritis, expanding red rash on or near the tick bite, low grade fever, abdominal and joint pain, dizziness and stiff neck. Most of the cases occur during the summer months. Ticks can be very hard to see but their bites can be debilitating. There are many opinions, facts and fables to sort through when faced with the problem bf tick bites or attached ticks. Most people want to remove attached ticks to reduce the risks of diseases that can be transited by the pest as well as Photo courtesy of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory TICK ATTACK: All it takes is one small deer tick embedding itself into a person’s skin to change a life forever with Lyme disease chances of an infection from the foreign object embedded in the skin. Most health professionals agree that smothering ticks with petroleum jelly, finger nail polish or other such substances do little to reduce the chances of infection or contracting disease. A tick that is coated or smothered still has enough oxygen to five long enough to continue its feeding. It is during this feeding that transmission of organisms takes place. More drastic measures such as burning the tick or killing it with a sharp object can actually increase chances of more fluids being released into the tick’s host. Attached ticks can be removed using small tipped tweezers. Grasping the tick as close to the skin as possible will give you a better chance of removing the tick whole. Ticks can excrete substances that help the pest adhere to its host and they also have mouthparts that help them to hang onto their host as they feed. Holding the tick with your tweezers, slowly but firmly pull the tick away from the skin. Once you have removed the tick from your skin and the tick has been disposed, wash your hands as well as the tweezers or any other object the tick or fluids from the tick may have contacted. Objects used to remove or dispose of ticks as well as the sight of the tick bite should be disinfected. Whenever possible, avoid entering areas that are likely to be infested with ticks, especially in spring and summer when nymph ticks feed. Tall grassy areas and dense wooded areas are favorite tick habitats. If you are going to be in a thick infested area, wear long sleeved shirts, tuck your pants into your socks or wear high boots. Wear loose, light colored clothing so that ticks can be spotted more easily and removed before becoming attached. With lush vegetation throughout Rappahannock County, the chances of coming in contact with these insects are great, so it is best to be aware that it is tick season and take precautions. Let us not forget the ones that have fallen for our freedoms. We take this opportunity to thank all the men and women of the armed forces whom have served and are serving now. To them we owe oaf platitude and support. % * '■ ' APPAHANNOCR EA§ ESTATE ^ESOURCES ’.'f- ‘M.

A third Republican is not on the June ballot. In fact, he is not really running as a Republican at all. State Sen. Russ Potts of Winchester decided earlier this year to buck the establishment and run as an “Independent Republican,” as he puts it. Potts needs to gather 10,000 signatures by June 14 to get himself on the November statewide ballot to challenge the two major party candidates. Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine is the §[ Talk-In Real Estate What is a professional designation1 The following are examples of some of the symbols of professional designations that can be earned by Realtors who choose to continue their education in Real Estate. GRI, CRS, CRB, ABR, SRES, E-PRO, CCIM, CRE, ARM, CPM. Once a Realtor has successfully completed the requirements of these courses they earn the right to use the designations after their name. These symbols show that this person has a certain level of experience, performance and expertise within a certain specialty of the profession. Realtors often refer clients to each other and will often go to the directory of those who hold these designations to refer their clients. They want to be sure the person has the experience and expertise to properly service their clients. It is a policy within our office that new agents will obtain a professional designation within 2 years of joining the firm. It is similar to a person in the education field getting a Masters Degree or PHD. It’s about getting as much education as you can. The next time you select a Realtor; look for the symbols after their name. If you are thinking of buying or selling, give me a call.

Kilgore has been looking at Fitch in the rear-view mirror from practically day one. He told The Times in an earlier interview that he welcomes anyone to participate in the primary but that he would focus his attention on his November opponent. “This is a long shot, and I knew that going pi,” Fitch said. Fitch relishes the underdog image—as evidenced by his made-for-Hollywood success founding the Olympic bobsled team from Jamaica— but has been frustrated by Kilgore and the party leadership’s virtual unwillingness to ; ■ ? . V acknowledge him. “I was told to join the ranks and embrace Jerry Kilgore and my time would come,” he said. “That’s the problem I have with the political system today. It’s just been turned over to the professional slick campaign teams, and we as voters are just sort of spoon-fed this sort of manufactured polished candidate, and what it does is it squelches free ideas.” Kilgore has run circles around Fitch in terms of fund raising. The former attorney general reported more than $7.2 million in donations through the end of March, according to the latest financial filings. Nearly 11 percent of that had come from Northern Virginia. Fitch reported raising almost $155,000 through March. All candidates on the June 14 ballot are required to file updated financial reports with the State Board of Elections by Monday, June 6. Potts, the so-called Independent Republican, was pulling in more donations than Fitch by more than a 2to-1 ratio. Democrat Kaine held a slight advantage over the entire field, reporting $8 million in contributions through March. For Rent, Sperryville, VA.

Fond memories of past Memorial Days recalled Editor’s Note: Our Flint Hill columnist was last seen aimlessly wandering in the woods or maybe gone fishing if he f und any stick bait. The following was submitted by his son, Jason Brady, in his absence. It’s been an odd sort of spring. We seemed to start out well enough but, then, predictably, spring lost its way. Memorial Day was this past weekend and a faint spark fires in the back of my mind as I think about Memorial Days of the past. Memorial Day has always meant that my Aunt Sis was having her annual get together at her place, a tradition in our family for as long as I can remember. Twenty years ago, at one of these annual parties, I recall catching my first big largemouth bass on a warm Memorial Day. When you are a young boy with a new fishing pole, there is a finite amount of time you can spend visiting with the family within sight of a good fishing pond before it gets the better of you. I was over the Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com fence and bounding through the field not long after making the necessary rounds, doling out hugs and kisses to the aunts and grandmothers and trying the best I could to shake hands like a man with uncles and grandfathers. A few short hours later, walking uphill at a much slower pace and toiling under the load of a very heavy stringer, I returned to the house. The look on the faces of my elders placed a bubbling feeling of satisfaction within me. It felt great. Who would have thought this kid from Fairfax could take off and return with such a prize? But, I guess I wasn’t your typical kid from the city. Growing up in Fairfax (at least on the weekdays) I was subjected to a way of life that follows the hustle bustle, now, now, now predilection of our nation’s capital, not too far down the road. Like all schoolaged children, and adults for that matter, I looked forward to the next weekend as soon as Sunday night rolled around. Looking back, I feel I counted the days to the weekend with a different kind of anticipation than that of my classmates. The Friday afternoon bell might just as well have been the buzzer at the gates of the Gold Cup. Escape from elementary school was in full swing and the children were anxious to be free from the clutches of the three R’s. I, on the other hand, was anxious to be free from the clutches of life in suburbia and free to explore our little piece of Rappahannock for the next two days. I am sure that not every weekend was spent with my family in Rappahannock County. There were the kids in the neighborhood to play with, and, goodness knows, there was work to be done around the house in Oakton. But, looking back, it deemed like every weekend was spent in Rappahannock. I assume that this is a function of losing some memories over time and stashing away the best and most enjoyable pieces in the recesses of my mind that I can only hope will remain there forever. I come from a great family, whose heart is firmly planted in Flint Hill. Within walking distance were grandparents, aunts, uncles and more cousins than I could keep straight at that age. There were fish to be caught, game to be hunted, dirt bikes to be ridden and plenty of forts to build. It was all I could ask for and so much more. Something about the place struck a chord deep within me. I felt connected to this place on a level much deeper than I could have comprehended at the time. Although I never lived in Flint Hill, the amount of ties, time and memories associated with it always made it feel like home. From Fairfax to Flint Hill — heartbound Today, some things have changed, some haven’t and many more are slightly skewed and are now viewed from a different angle. I still live in Fairfax, but now I own my home, or at least part of it. I still look towards the weekends with a fever boiling to get out and escape. I still enjoy a lot of the same activities, although it' appears that in order to do the same activities I enjoyed as a child, I need much more expensive equipment. I don’t recall having much trouble catching trout as a child. I used a Zebco and probably some worms and rarely got skunked. Maybe the fish have gotten smarter; maybe, like so many other things precious to us these days, they are scarcer or maybe I was suffering from a childhoodlong bout of beginner’s luck. In any case, Rappahannock would not be nearly far enough away to escape the wrath of my wife if she knew the amount of money that had been spent on fly rods in our house. There is still something that draws me back every chance I get. As soon as I reach Crest Hill Road off 1-66, I exhale a deep breath that I have been holding inside me since the end of my last visit. When I turn onto the Fodderstack Road, I take another deep breath and finally step out of the asthma-like grip the previous work week has held over me. The Peak is still there, maybe a little greener than the last time I saw it, maybe covered with a dusting of snow, but it’s still there, welcoming me back. My parents have raised their children, retired and come full circle and are back home in Flint Hill. I remember when they announced they had bought a place and were putting my childhood home on the market. I didn’t blink an eye. This was something I knew had been coming for a long time. I like the notion of my parents living back in Flint Hill. It fits. One more chapter finished in the book of our family. Everything and everybody has its place and all is where it should be. That is, of course, except for me. Remembering the Red Cross and celebrating our neighbors The month of May has been designated as Red Cross Month. It also celebrated the birthday of their founder, Clara Barton, who was bom on May 21, 1881. Our communities are thankful for all the volunteers who follow the system of “neighbor helping neighbor” and all the wonderful donors, churches businesses and civic groups who participate in Red Boston Marie F. Atkins 987-8802 Cross programs. We must never take the work of this organization lightly and again many thanks to the Red Cross for all that they do. Lt. Col. Janet Long, a resident here in Boston, has assumed a new role. She has now become the assistant commander of the 29th Brigade with the Maryland Army National Guard, in which she will be involved in managing the staff, monitoring junior Civil War history mini-course at Rappahannock County High School Anyone interested in learning more about the Civil War? There will be a series of mini-courses held at Rappahannock County High School starting June 15 through July 20, each Wednesday from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Sponsored by Lord Fairfax Community College, the cost is $115 which includes a transportation fee for a field trip on July 20. Participants not wishing to take part in the full sixweek session may also enroll for particular sessions at a cost of $15 per session and $35 for the tour. The sessions are conducted by Prof. Jonathan A. Noyalas, an instructor at the college, who will provide participants* with a clearer understanding of the military campaigns in Virginia and Maryland in 1862 and how those campaigns birthed arguably the finest army in the Confederacy — the Army of Northern Virginia. The course Washington I Jan Clatterbuck I 675-3338 jclatterbuck@ timespapers.com will also provide participants with an understanding of the army of Northern Virginia’s counterpart — the Army of the Potomac. For registration and information, call LFCC Workforce Services and Continuing Education at (540) 351-1524 or e-mail Prof. Noyalas at jnoyalas@lfcc.edu The Princess Bride The Rappahannock County High School drama department will present The Princess Bride on Friday, June 10 at 8 p.m. and on Sunday, June 11 at 2 p.m. in the school auditorium.

The registration will begin on June 27 through July 1 for the Winchester and BlueRidge areas. All placements are career, part-time flexible schedule positions with benefits. Applicants must pass a written examination, a preemployment screening, have a valid driver’s license and, for city carriers, applicants must have a safe driving record and at least two years documented driving experience in the U.S. For more information call job line (703) 698-6561 or apply by calling 1-866-9998777 or go to www.usps.com/ employment.

Summertime is reading time at the Rappahannock County Library Summer is here and it’s time once again for the Rappahannock County Library’s summer reading program. This year’s program is called “Funtastic Reading” and features fun for all ages. We’ll have magic, balloon art, and much more. Registration begins June 8th, and runs until August 3rd. Now’s the perfect time to come in and stock up on summer reading (and earn some nice prizes too). Toddlers through rising 2nd graders can earn 5-hour “read to me” patches, while rising 3rd graders on up can earn 10-hour reading patches and, for 60 hours of reading, a reading medal. Don’t forget that time spent on “required” school reading counts as well. Stop in the library and pick up a flier with all the details, or check our website at www.rap Check It Out Dave Shaffer pahannocklibrary.org. Please note that the regular Wednesday morning storytimes will now shift to the summer schedule of the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, at 10:30 a.m. They’ll be lots of special programs throughout the summer. Be sure to mark your calendars for two upcoming events: • Wednesday evening June 15th will be the “Llama Pajama Party” at the library. Dress in your wildest PJs, slippers, bathrobes, etc. You’ll be greeted by a real llama (6:30-7:00 p.m.) and life-sized characters Mouse from “When You Give A Mouse A Cookie” and Clifford, the Big Red Dog. Stories begin at 7:15. Bring cookies and milk if you’d like — yes — there will be eating in the library! • Thursday, June 16 from 10:00 a.m. until noon is the annual “Teddy Bear Picnic” at the Rappahannock County Park. A herd of llamas will be on hand from 10:15 - 10:45. Mouse and Clifford will there as well. There will be stories, face paintings, crafts, and the Bunny Obstacle Course. Reading logs for June will be due July 6th. Visit our website or stop in for the rest of the schedule, and have a great summer.

We offer our congratulations to area young people, all students at Rappahannock High School, who made the Honor Roll for the past grading period, namely, Hannah Gall, Crystal Heflin, Kendra Hitt, Brittany Dodson, Steven and Jonathan Butler and Timothy Robinson. Around 100 relatives and friends gathered at the Castleton Fire Hall Saturday afternoon for graduation exercises and the party following, honoring Jennifer Peregory and Jason Grigsby. Rev. Jim Pitman was the guest speaker for the event. Reva Way resident, David Breeden was recognized at Averett University, during the Honor Convocation which was held recently. Breeden is majoring in Aerospace Management and Criminal Justice. Since her improvement from so many illnesses, it was great to see Mrs. Edith Green out shopping at Walinart last week. Participating in the - Culpeper Volunteer Fire and Rescue parade Thursday evening, the Castleton Fire Company received an award for first place for the Best Appearing Commercial Pumper. The best appearing Honor ary Fire Queen went to Mindy Wyman of the Salem Fire Company and the Reva Company received the award for the best appearing EMS Company.
