127th Year ... No. 24 Phone (540)675-3338 THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 2005 Worldwide at timescommunity.com 50 cents Around the world in a six-hour day By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Third Annual International Festival filled the halls of both Rappahannock County Public schools last Wednesday. The festival is sponsored by the Rappahannock County Public Schools, with help from the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC), the Curriculum Enrichment Program (CEP) and Headwaters. While open to the public the last two years, this year the festival was just for the students, not the public, because last year not all the students were able to attend, and opening it to the public would compromise the core goal of providing some global experience and exposure to the children according to the festival’s organizers. The student’s gain was the public’s loss this year, as the festival was a tremendous success and enormously fun, interesting and educational for all who were involved. Travel the world on a shoestring Classes chose a country, and turned their classrooms into cultural, geographical, culinary and political displays to educate visitors about their country. Students were issued passports, and “traveled” around the world, getting their passports stamped in each “country” as they went. In the elementary school, there were displays and maps drawn up by the students, and activities, such as coloring in cutouts of a tropical Central and South American bird called the quetzal. Enthusiasm was evident among the travelers in the halls, and one student volunteered that the Argentina room was not to be missed.

The business welcomed its first guests last weekend. In fact, the history of Hopkins Ordinary is just that, an Ordinary. The building was constructed in the 1820s by John Hopkins as an Ordinary, which means it was there to serve the ordinary needs of those passing through the county. The building also housed a tavern in the basement and was a stage coach stopping point. Sometime before 1900, the building was separated into dormitories, and was used more as a boarding See SPERRYVILLE, Page A2 Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jeanne Spath SOUTHERN CHARM: Hopkins Ordinary, a new bed and breakfast in Sperryville, offers southern charm and history for its guests.

After considerable discussion by council members and guest, Rappahannock County’s administrator John McCarthy and concerned residents of the town on June 8, council members voted unanimously to table discussion once again. All members except the town’s mayor, Eugene Leggett were present for the vote. Vice-mayor Reinhardt Lynch presided over the meeting. To date, all parties concerned, including the owner of the property, Jimmy DeBerg of Washington, have agreed with Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) that the first 25-feet of roadway into the subdivision will be paved. DeBerg’s attorney, Mike Brown has included common language in the restrictive covenant draft, according to McCarthy, stating that the property owners are to maintain a gravel surface roadway with the cost of maintenance being paid by those same owners. Diane Bruce, whose residential property adjoins Pleasant View Subdivision, made w request to council that VDOT maintain the roadway. “I don’t think Town Council has a right to get involved,” McCarthy responded, “The town can petition VDOT to agree to maintain the first 25-feet, but chances are they will not do that. My question is, will VDOT maintain the road better for people with several-hundred-thousand dollar homes at the end of it?” Council agreed for McCarthy to draft a letter to VDOT asking if there is intent to maintain the stub street to the level it is currently maintained. As for the gravel road, McCarthy advised members of council that the town’s ordinance currently does not require a performance bond for having the roadway constructed within a certain timeline. He advised that since a portion of the property does lie outside the town’s limits, the county has requested a $42,500 performance bond, as of May 24. 2005 m the form of a letter of credit, giving DeBerg 24 months to establish an acceptable roadway, or a new estimate will need to be obtained. Members of council raised concerns as well, including what kind of houses are intended to be built on the property and would the property owners be able to expect town water See TOWN, Page A2 Happy Father’s Day Several Dads were honored this Father’s Day with heartfelt messages.

Washington youth stationed in South Korea ' By Rich Lamance ^Special to the Rappahannock News ' OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea - When most of us read or watch news reports yarning of short range missile tests b> North Korea, we shake our heads and wonder if the 55-year stand-off between the democratic south and the communist north will ever be resolved. For the son of a Washington couple, saberrattling by North Korea takes on a much more ominous meaning. Army Pfc. Austen E. Rhein, son of Mark and Elizabeth Rhein, who live on Hunters Road in Washington, is a Patriot missile system apprentice assigned to the 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, a Patriot missile unit that deployed to South Korea last fall from Texas to provide air defense support for the Republic of Korea. Rhein is assigned to Battery D, 1st battalion, 43rd Air Defense Artillery at Osan Air Base, South Korea. “My job consists of performing maintenance checks on Patriot missile systems,” said Rhein. “I also tend to any other related tasks that might come up during duty.” Created in 1918 as a boast artillery defense unit for our nation’s capital, the 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade today is headquarters for two Patriot battalions - the 2nd Battalion, 1st Air Defense Artillery at Qwang ju Air Base, in the southern part of the penm sula, and the 1st Battalion, 43rd Air Defense Artillery, based at Suwon Air Base near the Korean capital of Seoul. With most of the Patriot sites less than 100 miles from the demilitarized zone that separates North and South Korea, Rhein and his fellow air defenders find that, even though they are the newcomers to the neighborhood, their mission is one of the most important. “I support my fellow soldiers and I aid in helping my platoon defend South Korea,” stated Rhein. “I also assist with communications and reports in addition to working with the Patriot missile system.” For many, the sights, sounds and smells of this Asian country produce a form of culture shock, for others a sense of adventure and a chance for once-in-alifetime experiences. “Korea is an interesting place,” remarked Rhein. “There is a distinctive difference between the developed and the non-developed territory. The food is very good and you get to choose what you want as its cooking. They have brand-name goods and they are sold at very low prices, and they almost expect you to haggle the prices. A tour in Korea is a positive experience that everyone should have at least once in their life. I like it here, but I still do miss America.” For Rhein and fellow air defenders, life in Korea is a bittersweet existence. Amid an exotic and unique cultural experience, the soldiers stationed here are always reminded that a potential enemy awaits just a few miles away.

Box 59, Washington, Virginia 22747 Sperryville From Page A1 house, according to the history of the building’s new owners, Sherri Fickel and Kevin Kraditor. Bringing life back to the old building has been a twoyear labor of love for Fickel and Kraditor, who have been visiting Rappahannock County for many years for hiking, camping and enjoying the area’s organic foods and wines. During their visits to the county, the couple often stayed at Belle Meade Bed and Breakfast, enjoying the flavor of the country setting. The pair began talking of ways to enjoy early retirement, getting out of the hustle-and-bustle of working in Washington, D.C. where Fickel is a technology and computer consultant and Kraditor works for Health Services Research in Alexandria. “Life’s pretty short and we just thought that we could enjoy early retirement by owning a B & B,” Fickel said while enjoying one of the grand porches that surround the building. Accommodations On the outside of Hopkins Ordinary, the massive structure on Main Street in Sperryville is graced by scalloped columns and rails on both the upstairs and downstairs porches. Each room in the bed and breakfast has access to its own private sitting’ area on the porches, for guests to enjoy mountain breezes while watching the slow pace of life in the village. The Ordinary has five guest rooms, each named for herbs that the couple love to cook with and grow. The Oregano room is the smallest, having a full bed and, as with all the rooms, a private bath. The special feature in this bath, however, is the two shower heads, one on each side of the shower for an extraordinary bathing experience. Also located on the second floor are the Sage and Thyme rooms, and the Lavender suite, each having queen-sized beds. The Lavender suite also has a wood stove and a clawfoot bathtub and separate shower. On the first floor, the Rosemary room is fully accessible for those with handicaps, also having a queen-size bed. Each room is adorned with fresh herbs for which it is named, giving guests a special fragrance to go along with the ambiance of their stay. A passion for cooking According to Fickel, while her love is baking, including muffins, scones and homemade breads, the best part of breakfast is created by Kraditor. His specialties are egg dishes, including made to order omelets, spinach and feta cheese fritatas and quiches. Kraditor also prepares pancakes and waffles and the couple supports Central Roasters Coffee of Sperryville, serving the brew to guests. “We are not fancy or stuffy,” Fickel said, “just com I voted David Arnold, an election officer at the Flint Hill polling station, assists Kathie Russo of Flint Hill put on her “Proud to Vote” sticker. Russo arrived at the polls just minutes before the 7:00 p.m. closing time. In total, some 46 Wakefield District voters cast their ballots in this primary election—a relatively small turnout. fortable.” First guests Hopkins Ordinary welcomed its first guests this past weekend, Mike and Ruth Brannon of Hyattsville, Maryland, celebrating Ruth’s birthday. Mike’s parents, Jeri and Frances Brannon live near Massie’s Corner. So far, most of the guests who have made reservations are coming to Rappahannock County to visit family, however calls have begun coming in from others who have heard the bed and breakfast is now open. “We are lucky it is such a visible building,” said Fickel, “and the community support - we can’t give them enough credit.” For more information, or to make reservations, call Hopkins Ordinary at 540-9873383 or visit their Web Site at www.hopkinsordinary.com.

According to McCarthy, only one lot would be affected by the historical district ordinance since .5551 acre of the lot lies within the town corporate limits. However, if the house was built on the county portion of the lot, it would not need to conform to the historical district ordinance. Two of the lots within the subdivision currently have town water available to them, and a third could have lines running to it as well, but according to the plat, Lot 4 of the subdivision would need to have a well provided as a w&ter source. Updates reported Lynch advised that town residents now have plats available at Town Hall to view where wastewater hook-ups will be located on each property. He also advised that council is currently working with Herb White of WW & Associates to find an appropriate site for the proposed wastewat r treatment facility. White also gave an update on a new reservoir for the town’s water supply, advising council that consultation would be needed to make certain the reservoir is sitting on solid ground. White described the new construction as a concrete structure which would be less obtrusive in height than the existing structure. John Bennett, attorney for the town, reminded council of its agreement with the landowners to make certain the reservoir is an acceptable appearance being either brown or green in color.

Further discussion was proposed to be held in council’s closed session by Bennett. Council member Claudia Mitchell gave an update on revisions to the town’s web site, advising it should be ready for viewing within a couple weeks. Town of Washington administrative assistant Laura Dodd advised council members that she has employed Joe Wenk for mowing around the town. Mitchell and Dodd reported a visit with VDOT representatives to research having utilities placed underground throughout the town. According to Mitchell, the cost would be anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 per utility pole to have them placed underground for a total cost of $3-4 million. With this information in hand, Mitchell requested that council look into other aesthetic improvements such as crosswalks made of brick, sidewalks or bike paths. Town budget approved in a unanimous roll can vote, members of Washington’s town council approved the 2005-2006 fiscal year budget, with total revenue and expenditures of $2,495,900 each. Proposed comprehensive plan Gary Schwartz, chairman of the Town of Washington Planning Commission reported to council that there will be a joint Planning, Commission/Town Council meeting on June 27, which will be the final public meeting for discussion of the town’s proposed comprehensive plan. Schwartz proposed to have a final presentation of the plan ready for council by July 13. Council advised that a vote on the proposal will take place in the regularly scheduled August Town Council meeting.

The correct date that the store opened was 1934 and Dorothy Hackley began working there many years later. In an article entitled ‘New eatery opens in Sperryville’ the name in the photo caption should read Melanie Torrance. The Rappahannock Nows regrets these errors.

November slate is set ft By Dominic Bonaiuto dbonaiuto@timespapers.com Voters 'in Tuesday’s Democratic primary for li tenant governor chose experience over youth, placing Fairfax’s Leslie Byrne on the party’s November ticket alongside gubernatorial nominee Tim Kaine. Byrne, 58, a veteran of state and national politics, will be the only Northern Virginian on either statewide ticket. She won with 34 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results. Richmond Del. Viola Baskerville, 53, was second followed by Fairfax Del. Chap Petersen, 37, and Lebanon state Sen. Phillip Puckett, 57. In the Republican primary, Jerry Kilgore, 43, easily dispatched Warrenton Mayor George Fitch, 57, by more than a four-to-one margin. Kilgore will be joined on the GOP ticket by Mechanicsville state Sen. Bill Bolling, 47, who defeated Sean Connaughton, 44, chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, 56 to 44 percent. Virginia Beach Del. Robert McDonnell, 51, defeated Richmond attorney Steve Baril, 50, for the Republican attorney general nomination 62 to 38 percent. McDonnell will now face Democrat Creigh Deeds, a state senator from Bath County. Both Kaine, 47, and Deeds, 47, were unopposed on the Democratic ticket. The two made an impromptu appearance at Byrne’s victory reception in Falls Church Tuesday night. “We’re going to make sure, come November, we have Tim, Leslie and Creigh, some TLC for Virginia,” said Byrne, the first congresswoman elected from Virginia who will now tiy to become its first female lieutenant governor. In- addition to Kilgore and Kaine, Independent Republican Russ Potts, 66, a state senator from Winchester, is also running for governor. Last week he filed more than double the number of signatures required by the State Board of Elections to get his name on the ballot. In the region’s House of Delegates primaries where conservative Republicans chal lenged some of the party’s moderates, five of six incumbents held on to their seats. In the 41st District around Burke, conservative Michael Golden, 31, defeated Bill Finerfrock, 44, by almost a three-to-one margin. The incumbent, Jim Dillard, 71, who helped lead last year’s moderate uprising, is retiring after 25 years in the House. Jim Hyland, 44, won the GOPs 35th House District primary around Vienna, defeating Edward Robinson, 41, and Arthur Purves, 56. He will now face Democratic incumbent Stephen Shannon, 34. And in central Fairfax’s 37th District, former Fairfax City mayor John Mason, 72, defeated James Kaplan, 34, for the Republican nomination. He will face up-and-comer David Bulova, 36, son of county supe - visor Sharon Bulova, after he defeated school board member Janet Oleszek, 58, in the Democratic primaiy. As anticipated, voter turnout was low, registering at 7.8 percent in Fairfax and less than that statewide. HEADING GOP TICKET: In the Republican primary, Jerry Kilgore, Republican candidate for governor, was the easy winner. He is joined on the GOP ticket by state Sen. Bill Bolling, as the It. governor candidate, and Del. Robert McDonnell, as the attorney general candidate. Fairfax election officials said their biggest problem was finding enough fans for precincts that suffered through the sweltering day without air conditioning. Voters seemed more disappointed than confused about having to pick one primary or the other. Many said they wanted to split their vote, which state Times Staff Photos/Shamus Ian Fatzinger' TEAM DEMOCRAT: From left, Lt. Gov.

The races for lieutenant governor attracted the most attention this spring. Observers and participants alike tried to portray the choices as moderates versus extremes. Petersen said Byrne was too liberal to win over conservative voters across the state. “Obviously I’m disappointed, but life goes on. ... I’m proud of my campaign,” said Petersen, adding he and Puckett might have split the moderate votes.

N. Virginia’s big three share agonies of growth Connaughton, Connolly and \brk say state must be better partner for prosperity to continue , By Dominic Bonaiuto dbonaiuto@timespapers.com A Republican, an Independent and a Democrat walk into a room... No, seriously. It’s not a joke. The board chairmen of the region’s big three counties— Democrat Gerry Connolly from Fairfax, Independent Scott York hum Loudoun and Republican Sean Connaughton from Prince William—sat down for more than an hour last week with Times editors and reporters to talk about their growing pains and the stress being put on local governments. What became evident during the discussion is that the counties, regardless of inner versus outer suburb distinctions, face similar challenges, and their elected leaders feel limited in their abilities to deal with them. Like the rest of the region, each county has experienced transformative growth over the years. Fairfax, once a bedroom community for the District of Columbia, now boasts more jobs than the region’s core. Prince William, which, for a time, was viewed as the region’s most affordable community, has gone upscale overnight with 4,000 half-million-dollar homes delivered last year alone. And sleepy Loudoun is now among the fastest growing counties in America. “Where will we put all the people who move to this region?” asked Connolly, noting that Fairfax has practically run out of room to build more homes. “We’re beyond our ability to produce a sufficient amount [of nousingj, said xorK, adding that the demands of new residents are putting a financial strain on the counties to provide enough schools and fire stations and still keep taxes in check. “We’re having done to us what we did to Fairfax,” said Connaughton, who, after traveling the state in his bid for lieutenant governor, said the invisible boundaries of Northern Virginia are being stretched as people commute from the far reaches of the commonwealth to and through the outer suburbs to reach jobs. “Until Richmond becomes more of a partner with us, it will be difficult to solve our problems,” York said. He cited the state formula for computing a county’s share of education dollars as ai,.. imple. The wealthier a nty becomes, more specific.. its taxpayers become, the less it receives in state aid. The chairmen agreed that the state “penalizes” Northern Virginia for being so successful. “The state has created a relationship with Northern Virginia where it loves our incomes but doesn’t want to hear about our needs,” Connolly said. That puts more strain on local taxpayers, according to Connaughton, who are left to pony up, largely through their real estate taxes, when the state does not provide adequate funding for education, public safety or other needs. Adding to their frustration, they said, is the fact that the state is generally too restrictive and not responsive enough when it comes to the needs of local governments, even on trivial matters. For example, Prince Wiliam had to seek General Assembly permission to stick green lights on its fire department command vehicles because state code allows for only red flashers. Connolly said an ideological bent within the General Assembly, which was dominated by social conservative issues this year, has created a rift between it and Northern Virginia, a sentiment Connaughton said is beginning to spread across the state. “Part of the problem is we give them cover,” Connaughton said. “People still see roads and schools being built.... They don’t seem to understand we’re picking up the bill for state responsibilities.” He said it was frustrating to see members of his county’s legislative delegation show up for new school openings last fell when every member voted r against last year’s historic tax increase to benefit school children. The chairmen agreed that Northern Virginia, home to 25 percent of the state’s population, is footing too much of the bill, accounting for 44 percent of all state revenue. In addition, they noted the counties continue to be too reliant on the real estate tax, one of the few sources of local income not capped or limited by the state. “We realize we need to help out others in the state that are not doing so well,” York said, “but, if the state doesn’t help Northern Virginia, it will choke off the goose that lays the golden eggs.” For starters, they said, the state could balance the scales of power between cities and counties. The chairmen lamented the fact that small cities within their borders, like Manassas or Fairfax Citrji-have tadte powers than the counties.

This coming Saturday the graduating seniors will have their last hurrah as they say goodbye to some ol the most formative years of their young lives. Hopefully they will have been served well as they take their next steps along life’s road. It’s all about having the right tool set to survive out there and for today’s young adults it’s more critical than ever that they be prepared to face what life • has to dish out. ; For the most part, they’ve had to deal with not ; only SOL stress but making the grade in other ways - like staying free of drugs and alcohol, competing on sports teams, learning music pieces, holding down jobs and learning to be responsible and civic-minded citizens as well. ; They’ve done a lot of volunteering with community : organizations so they know the value of lending a : hand and, perhaps more importantly, they’ve gotten a : dose of perspective. Perspective is a wondrous gift. It forms a framework to look at the world differently and usually with more appreciation. Our graduating seniors have also set a standard for a rising generation of future graduates that have looked to them as role models and as those lucky ones who are now able to leave school. But for all it’s pomp and circumstance, graduation is a death of sorts because a time that you have had you will not have again. There will be some expected grieving. • And along with the grieving, great anticipation as to what will come next. It s the end of not only their relationship to a learning institution but their relationships with lots of students, teachers and administrators that they may or may not have occasion to stay in touch with. Our young folks are pretty resilient these days and \yhether they are heading off to college, deciding to join the military or taking on a job or internship, the adults in their lives will have to stand back, take a deep breath and trust that they have imparted all the tools that their child and student will need to take the next step and to make decisions wisely. As our young graduates step up to receive their diplomas, lets keep them in our hearts and prayers and wish them the very best as they step forward. And while were wishing them well, let’s hold back our fears about their future success and happiness. . It would seem that is a given.

RCHS Honor Roll 8th Grade Six Weeks: Sandra Atkins, Mike DelGrosso, Tammy Jolffe, Jean Myers, Donna Atkins, Debbie Helmer, Chris Caperton, Elsod Dodson, Craig Kenyon, Gwen Jordan, Peggy Stephenson. To the editor: The citizens of Rappahannock County have rejected, by an overwhelming majority, the divisive tactics by which certain-members of the School Board have frustrated their desires to support their school system. It seems to me that the students, teachers and school administration have been welcomed, by the success of the referendum, back into the county. I hope they will feel so welcomed. Now what about those members of the school board who have so misinterpreted their functions? It appears to me that their options are clear. They cart: 1: Resign, out of common decency, and let the school get on with their business; or “ 2: Refuse to resign, and (a) continue their divisive tactics to the detriment of the whole community until their terms run out, or other legal measures are found to terminate their tenure, or (b) continue their term in office but honestly study the ways available to them to help the citizens of the county achieve and maintain a school system which is as effective as possible. I hope each member of the School Board will consider seriously his relationship to the future of Rappahannock’s Schools. A. Stanley Thompson, Sperryville A host of activities is being planned for the Fourth of July celebration in Washington, Va. under the sponsorship of the Washington Business Council and the Washington Fire Department. A gala, old fashioned Fourth will begin at 10 a m. and continue all day, ending at 10 p.m. In a tour of the town you may find the village smithy hammering out his wares, see cloth being woven or wool spun. There will be demonstrations on seat caning and rushing, and the many steps of basketry or the fascination of a potter’s wheel may hold your attention. There will be many old time crafts demonstrated and products for sale. If this is not enough, there is more! A delightful music festival is planned, including the bluegrass, fife and drum corps, an organ recital, woodwind trio and the Rappahannock Chorus. Added to this will be buggy rides and games. In a patriotic spirit, a pageant with readings will remind everyone of the meaning of the celebration, our Independence Day. This will be directed by Mr. and Mrs. Waldron O’Connor. A food booth will be handled by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Washington Fire Department where home baked goods, ham biscuits, sandwiches, hotdogs, ice cream, coffee and drinks will be available and the Fire Department will serve a barbecue dinner starting and 4:30 p.m. The Ladies of the auxiliary will also have their Thrift Shop open for browsing or purchasing choice items at very reasonably priced. Another feature of the day will be the bicycle decorating contest under the auspices of Eileen Day, Realtor and the Business Council... Climaxing the day’s activities will be the annual fireworks display at Avon Hall, through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan. A patriotic program will precede the fireworks. 10 YEARS AGO June 14, 1995 After eight years of hard work and studying the RCHS class of 2000 has begun their venture into high school where they will work harder ad longer. To celebrate the end of their elementary school careers the parents of the 7th grade graduating class sponsored a party for them. The event took place at the Washington Fire Hall from 8-11 p.m. Friday night. Those who attended enjoyed music pro-' vided by The OK’s. The guests included 45 to 50 students, parents of students who will be in eighth grade next year and three of their teachers from this year. There was also a mystery guest, a woman wearing pink stockings and a mask. The group did the hokey-pokey, the limbo, and some occasional head banging. A few students slow danced while still others found the need to return to the ‘80’s and break dance. Some of the other students sat and relaxed. Ch' * Heddleston, one of the students at the gala, ev' received a ride upon the shoulders of one of the other guests. The festivities were a success and, according to Cheryl Fairbrother, one of the organizers of the event: “Everyone had a great time.” Rappahannock Native Richard W. Burke recently completed 25 years of service with the Virginia Department of Transportation. He is an equipment operator assigned to the Rappahannock area headquarters. Mr. Burke, who grew up in the Rock Mills-Woodville area, enjoys fox hunting and gardening, however, “auction and flea market sales (have become) a favorite hobby in the current years, “ he adds. He is an active member of Five Forks Regular Baptist Church. He and his wife, Rena, have one son, Die (sic).

Farewell to Rappahannock By Jeanne Spath Recalling those first government meetings covered by this reporter in November of last year, most people’s questions were not asking where the reporter was from, but rather how long the reporter would be staying. Initially, the plan was to stay indefinitely, as the scenery is incredible, the people warm and topics to cover vast. Getting to know the topics, however, was not easy at first, and at times remains complicated to this day. It is with much thanks to many that articles have been able to flow from the keyboard. Thank you to Rappahannock’s County Administrator, John McCarthy. His knowledge and expertise of the county’s government issues never ceased to amaze me, and his explanations of issues have been greatly appreciated. On many of those government issues, thanks goes to the county’s Board of Supervisor Chairman, Pete Estes. Thank you for those wonderful walks through yesteryear, sharing photos and memories as well. To the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department and the Virginia State Police Troopers in Rappahannock, thank you for not only working with this reporter, but for trusting enough to share information - even when it was “off the record.” As well, thanks to the girls at the courthouses in the county for letting this nosy reporter in on the details that have made articles interesting. Thanks to the readers of this newspaper, those who take pride in calling the Rappahannock News their own. Lastly, thank you to the staff at the Rappahannock News office who have opened your arms, welcoming a new writer and making this home. As this reporter and family head south, to Staunton, taking many memories along, thank you is not quite enough for all we have experienced in Rappahannock County, but for once, words fail this writer. Thus, farewell to Rappahannock. Jeanne Spath Behind the War on Terror, A War on Our Courts By Bert Brandenburg and John Vail Special to the Rappahannock News Americans count on the military and law enforcement to keep us safe, and the courts to keep us free. But many Americans don't know how the Patriot Act disrupted our Constitution's checks and balances. It has cut the courts out of their historic role in protecting our rights during dangerous times. As Virginia's congressional delegation debates the reauthorization of the Act, the executive branch is trying to amass even more unchecked powers. r The 342-page Act, passed by Congress with minimal debate in the weeks after September 11, dramatically weakened the power of the courts to provide a check on possible government abuses. It expanded the ability of prosecutors to investigate and incarcerate without meaningful review from a judge. In many cases, thanks to the Patriot Act, the government can now skip the courthouse altogether. The Act requires that judges rubber stamp, in secret, government requests for personal records such as Growing Diocese Creates New Parish and Two New Missions Citing unprecedented growth-a 42 percent increase in Catholics in the past decade aloneArlington Bishop Paul S. Loverde has announced the creation of one new parish and two new missions to serve over 2,500 Catholics in Prince William, Loudoun, Culpeper and Rappahannock Counties. Bishop Loverde said, “As one of the fastestgrowing dioceses in the country, we face the welcomed privilege of serving a vibrapt and growing flock of the body of Christ. I praise God for this time of building foundations for future generations. With these two new missions— both named in honor of this Tear of the Eucharist’ proclaimed by our beloved John Paul the Great—and one new parish, we will better ensure that our growing numbers have the essentials by which to worship, educate and serve.” The diocese founds missions in areas experiencing rapid Catholic growth. When a mission is deemed financially stable and land is secured for the future building of a church, it is designated a “parish.” Since 1999, the diocese has opened six new parishes, three missions, and two elementary schools. New Parish St. Peter’s Parishin Washington, Virginia, will be home to over 400 parishioners in Culpeper and Rappahannock Counties. Bishop Loverde appointed Fr. Robert J. DeMartino the first Pastor of St. Peter’s Parish. St. Peter’s church is located at Routes 211 and 522. FREE INSPECTION Protect your home. Permanently.

The government needs only to assert, not prove, that records may be related to an ongoing investigation related to terrorism or intelligence activities-even if the target of the search isn't a terror suspect. In many instances, the Patriot Act does away entirely with the traditional role of the courts in preventing law enforcement abuses. By writing a “National Security Letter,” the FBI can seize personal Internet, telephone,'and financial records from anyoneeven U.S. citizens who are not suspected of any crime, spying, or terrorist activity. They require no court review or approval. The Act gives the government license to listen in on more phone calls and view emails without providing details to a court to justify such intrusion. Government agents need only claim that the resulting information would be “relevant to an ongoing investigation”-no judge can even question the truthfulness of the government’s allegations. And some permanent residents can now be jailed for seven days without being charged with a crime, or indefinitely, subject to minimal review by the courts. A draft of “Patriot II,” a would-be sequel to the Patriot Act, was leaked out of the Justice Department in 2003. It contained even more shocking assaults on the power of judges to protect Constitutional liberties. The government could obtain anyone's credit report or even a DNA sample without checking with a court first. The Attorney General would be permitted to wiretap phones without court permission for 15 days after an attack on the U.S. Other court oversight of wiretaps would be further .weakened. Court-ordered limits on police spying imposed after spying abuses would be scrapped. And for the first time since the Civil War, habeas corpus review would Farfelu Vineyards Old-Fashioned Pig Roast!

The government initially disavowed Patriot II, but this wish list may yet see the light of day. President Bush and Attorney General Gonzalez have said they want the Patriot Act expanded. Amid mounting criticism from Americans of all political stripes, the Attorney General recently backed off slightly. But the Administration still hasn't explained why the government should be able to ignore judicial checks and balances when it seeks our personal information. The horrors at Abu Ghraib remind us how government zeal, without any oversight, can lead to excesses. Courts are there to keep the government on the right side of the Constitution. They understand there's a war on: in the Hamdi case, the Supreme Court held that every American citizen deserves a day in court. We need a thoughtful review of the Patriot Act-not simply a blank check for the government. In doing so, we will join a coalition that includes not just the American Civil Liberties Union, but groups on the right like the American Conservative Union, the Free Congress Foundation; and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. These unlikely bedfellows have come together because they understand that courts are indispensable to the war on terror, which is a global contest for security and the very idea of freedom. Judges are there to remind us what we are fighting to preserve-the American way. Brandenburg is the Executive Director of the Justice at Stake Campaign.

Ruth Krusie, who worked in the Emergency Department until she became ill in 1986, dedicated her life to nursing. She was a mentor, a teacher, and an inspiration to everyone. Receiving this award is the highest honor bestowed upon a member of the Fauquier Hospital nursing staff. 7 come from the South, and we always say we're kin to everybody—and if we're not, we're going to pretend like we are! It's that compassion and that nurturing quality that comes very easy for me." - Rebecca Caperton, RN REBECCA CAPERTON Rebecca Caperton has heard all her life she is "really good with people." Every day her friendly personality helps her gain the respect and admiration of her patients and coworkers, and it recently helped her earn the coveted Ruth Krusie award. "I enjoy people," Rebecca says. “It's a mutual kind of enjoyment. I think everyone has something to offer and to teach." Rebecca has been a nurse for over 22 years and has worked in the Family Birthing Center for three years. She loves her job but she says there's much more to it than rocking babies. "I like the whole family concept. It really is a 'family' birthing center and I'm so proud to be a part of a patient's family for those few days." Rebecca lives in Warrenton with her husband and their two children. She has worked for a variety of hospitals over the years, but she prefers working for a community hospital. "You have to be a really good nurse to work at a community hospital because a lot of times you see the people outside of the hospital—so you want them to have a positive experience. You want them to call your name in the grocery store to show you their baby—and it's amazing how often they do that. That’s what I love about my job. I can just tell by the way former patients come up to me that they loved their experience at Fauquier Hospital. And you can t beat that feeling."

BOMB CREW: Rappahannock County Elementary School students learn how to “sniff out bombs” with Virginia State Police bomb robot Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jan Clatterbuck FLYING HIGH: Rappahannock children had an opportunity to see the LifeEvac on DARE Day. DARE Day a time for students and parents to remember By Jan Clatterbuck Rappahannock News Staff Writer For an entire school year, children at Rappahannock County Elementary School have been learning about how to stay away from drugs and alcohol with the DARE program. Capt. Jeff Brown, Resource Officer with the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department, provided the 5th and 6th graders with Drugs & Alcohol Resistance Education classes and DARE Day is the celebration for all grades Preschool through seventh grade. For all of their hard work, the reward finally came in a huge celebration at the school on Friday, June 10, with about 1000 students, parents, volunteers and exhibitors in attendance. The Tenth Annual D.A.R.E. Field Day of festivities was a huge success with events, such as running hurdles, chip shots, flag tag, softball throw, pole climb and at the end was the tug of war. Many of the events were orgar nized by Rhonda Jenkins, a member of the physical education department at the school, who has been working with the children on DARE Day for three years.

Everything from pop • com, snow cones and cotton candy, to train rides was free for the children to enjoy. The weather threatened the event, but fortunately everyone was able to see the sun shine late in the afternoon. Capt. Brown said, “I feel that the day was extremely successful and the kids really enjoy all the positive role models and fun things to do. That’s what makes the hard work done by so many worth while.” Dana Hockenberry, Mindy Ramey, Kori Smith, from the Rappahannock County Elementary School agreed that Capt. Jeff Brown did a great job. Credit also goes out to all the volunteers, exhibitors and the cafeteria staff members and everyone who helps to pull this huge celebration off.

Bill Young Farmland Preservation program approved By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer The most significant new business before the Rappahannock County School Board Tuesday night was a proposal by Washington resident . Mitzie Young for the creation of a charitable fund to support agricultural education. The fund, originally proposed in May of 2004, would be dedicated to the memory of her late husband, Dr. Bill Young. The fund’s purpose, as described by School Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell, would be to encourage the teaching of agricultural techniques, support the retention of land' for agricultural purposes and support the employment of citizens in agricultural activity. Last fall, a committee was formed to examine Young’s offer. Chappell reported their recommendations at Tuesday’s meeting. Contingent upon sufficient non-public (charitable) funding, the, committee offered five proposals: 1. Annual awards to students with the best class projects in the existing agricultural program. The form of the awards would be determined later, and would be called Bill Young Farmland Preservation awards. 2. Exploratory classes in agricultural and environmental subject matter for the 6th and 7th grades. New classes at the high school would be foregone for the time being, and would be considered in the future if there is sufficient interest. 3. Donated funds would be used to buy equipment for both the above two programs and the existing public school agricultural classes. 4. School buildings would be opened to 4-H to use for educational programs. 5. Chappell reported the committee proposed that all donations be made not to the public schools, but to the Headwaters Foundation. The auditing firm employed by the local school system recommended this because they say state regulations on direct donations to schools of sums greater than $5,000 are extremely complex and difficult to navigate. The Board voted unanimously in favor of all five proposals en bloc, with Rosa Crocker, Wakefield, absent. Forum time During the portion Of the School Board meeting set aside for public comment Ron Makela of Jackson District rose to speak. He praised the schools, students, parents and volunteers for a generally good school year, noting the recent International Festival, the play “The Princess Bride”, the elementary school’s coffeehouse and other activities. Makela then voiced a complaint about an advertisement in the just released yearbook. In question is a pro-life political ad, featuring several photos of fetuses - referred to as “unborn children” which were clearly selected to emphasize I*. nan ini iiii lllll iiii list iiiii The Time To Buy Is NOW! 100% ‘ FINANCING AVAILABLE CALL NOW is: sis: iiii 2005 Hug* 31*x 19*00.

Jnc their humanity and similarities to later term fetuses and babies. “It’s not something that needs to be in a high school yearbook. I was very upset about this. My son was concerned. Everybody I’ve shown this to has been quite shocked. It was not proper. And also, it may have opened a door. Planned Parenthood might naturally want space to respond. What about pro-war or anti-war ads? Do we want that door opened?,” Makela mused. Further, Makela stated, “the other thing that disturbs me about this ad is that it is anonymous. We have a right to know who put that in there. They should come forward and apologize.” School Board chairman Wesley Mills, Jackson District, responded. “We have had a great year and we need to focus on that..” whereupon Mills proceeded on to other business. When asked about the matter later, Mills and Chappell both said they had not yet had time to look into the matter. In other business, the Board voted unanimously to approve the proposed revised slate of new hires and changes of existing teaching and employment assignments. Executive Director of Human Resources and Instruction, Mrs. Raye M. Tupper, was given authority to sign all official documents in the absence of Division Superintendent Chappell. The action was in response to a request from the Virginia Department of Education. Voting was unanimous. Additional modifications to the school conduct code (which is being updated so that there is a single code document for both the elementary and high schools), were approved unanimously, upon Chappell’s assurance that the changes were not substantive. Work in progress Chappell reported to the Board on the progress of ongoing work at the elementary school to replace the roof and upgrade the heating and air conditioning. He presented a bar chart from the contractor, the Lantz Construction Company, showing the timeline of the various components of the project. Mills and Johnson both expressed concern that work would not be entirely completed by the beginning of the school year, Chappell affirmed that some work would still be ongoing, but said that if all goes well, the project would be near completion and those portions remaining would be minimally disruptive. Regarding the ongoing plans for a new track at the high school, Chappell reported the receipt of a letter from attorney Douglas Baumgardner pointing out that the deadline for using $50,000 in funds from the Ann Spieker Track Fund is drawing near, and plans must be finalized if the funds are to be used. Chappell also reported on problems with the high school septic system. He noted that despite having made several repairs, changes and improvements, there have still been violations of health code. He recommended looking at possible upgrade within the next ten to twelve months.

Friendship — and brotherly love What would we do without friends? What would I do without friends? I would be lost. What makes a good friend? I have been told to have a good friend, you must be a good friend. That sounds right. I have also been told that a good friend will help you move, and that a real good friend will help you move a body! That may be a bit extreme, but I think the idea is that there is very little a good friend won’t do for you. I have been blessed with some very good friends. Most of them are from friendships made later in life. Growing up, many of my friends were relatives. We lived in the country, didn’t get out a whole lot, and most of the other kids we saw were cousins of one stripe or another. I have always thought that we need to be careful with our friends. Since they are willing to help you when you need it, you need to be a bit diligent that you don’t overdo your Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com reliance on their helpfulness. As an example, as a young adult one of my best friends was an older brother. When I finished high school, I went to work for the same company he worked for, and worked directly for him. Nepotism wasn’t a big deal in the plumbing and heating field in 1962. Charles is a couple of years older than I am, and he wag, and is, extraordinarily gifted. He could manage people, he could manage a huge construction project, and he could and would get the job done. Everybody liked him and wanted to be his friend, and he could fix anything, or so it seemed to me. I am sure I ‘overused’ his friendship, especially after I became a homeowner and there was always something broken or something that needed some type of maintenance. It didn’t matter if it was mechanical, electrical, structural or whatever. He could fix it, iand often did fix it; too often, probably. Once a neighbor of mine was putting up a new ceiling fan and light in his kitchen. Since I had recently put one up in our house, he asked if I would give him a hand. Sure. No problem. Glad to help. Now, when I approach something like this, my standard procedure is to mark all the wires, make sure the switches are wired the same, etc., etc., and it usually works out pretty well. This time, however, when I got to the neighbor’s house, all the wires were hanging Out of the ceiling and out of the three-way switch boxes and nothing was marked or coded as to where it went. I looked at my neighbor, who thought he had been very helpful by taking all the old stuff out, and I tried to look like I knew what I was doing. I didn’t have a clue. I even made several trips back to my house to compare the wiring, and finally got the switches hooked up correctly, or so I thought, but the ceiling fan and light were another story. Everything I tried failed. The fan would run, the light wouldn’t work. The light would work, but the fan would trip the breaker. I was desperate. I was pretty close to panic mode. I felt as incompetent as I actually was, and that was pretty bad. I couldn’t call my brother to ask him to fix a neighbor’s problem. Well, as I said, I was desperate. It was midday on Saturday, a hot summer day. I lived in Fairfax, and he lived in Warrenton. I called him. Sure enough, after a bit, he showed up. The relief I felt when he arrived was unbelievable. He looked at what I had done, changed a few wires, and turned on the power; nothing. He made one wire change, did it again; same result. He took out some little switch in the fan, and handed it to my neighbor. “They gave you a bad switch.” He marked the wires for the switch so that even I could put it back together, smiled and left. On Monday, my neighbor got a new switch, I put it in, and everything worked. He was happy. I was relieved. Now, that isn’t moving a body, but it is an example of the kind of thing a really good friend will do for you, and it was the catalyst for a minor epiphany for me. I promised myself that I would do a better job of nurturing my brother’s friendship and being worthy of such a friend. I did try. I really did. I am not certain I succeeded. My wife says I failed miserably. I did make some small measure of progress in that I never called him again to fix somebody else’s problem. We are both retired now. But he can still fix anything. And he is still willing to go that extra mile. Just a week ago, another brother took his friend’s car to him and he fixed the air conditioner. Nowadays I try not to bother him with so much stuff. I try to keep him as my consultant. You have no idea how many problems he has solved for me over the phone. And, I am still trying to nurture our friendship, and call, occasionally, just to stay in touch and see how he and his family are doing. I really do. But, I still call, as I just did, to ask about the air conditioning thermostat and how it works and whether or not I can fix it myself. Nowadays, he is somewhat more apt to say, “Oh, I am sure you can fix it yourself.” And I do try. I really do. I love you, brother. Until next time, stay well and take good care of your friends. And if any of your friends are like my brother, be especially thankful. There’s a new bed and breakfast in town Anyone who has driven down Main Streetin Sperryville recently is sure to have noticed all of the work taking place at the old Sperryville Hotel.

The building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built around 1820 by John Hopkins. At that time, it was a roadside inn and tavern that also served as a stage coach stop. The current owners have not only returned the building to its former purpose as a place for travelers to spend the night, but have also restored many of the features of the building itself by uncovering and restoring original fireplaces, heart pine floors, and window frames; and by bringing back an internal staircase that was removed at some point during the old hotel’s lifetime. Fickel and Kraditor, who wanted to stay as close as possible to the original plans of the building, took great care to make sure that renovations were completed under the guidance of historic preservation agencies. Of course, they did have to add some modern touches for the comfort of their guests, including new bathrooms and a beautifully appointed kitchen with stainless steel and butcher block counters. The Ordinary now has five guestrooms, each with a private bath and each with its own comfortable sitting area out on the wrap-around porch that surrounds both stories of the building. The rooms, which are named after herbs such as sage, thyme, oregano, and lavender, are decorated with antiques and four of the guestrooms have their own fireplace or wood-burning stove. The rosemary room is handicapped accessible. Guests will not be going away hungry, as the Ordinary Sperryville Nancy Ostinato 987-8444 oldsperryvillebookshop@iglide.net will be serving a large full breakfast menu that will vary but will include items such as fresh fruits, egg dishes, waffles, cereals, and various teas and coffee. Many of the items served will come fresh from the kitchen garden that includes herbs, blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes, squash, pumpkins, fava beans, lettuce, spinach, melons and edible flowers. There is also asparagus that should be ready in a few years. Kraditor, who began gardening about 10 years ago, loves growing herbs and said when it came time to come up with names for the guestrooms, herbs just seemed like the natural choice. Both he and Fickel are looking forward to sharing their love of gardening and cooking with guests as well as sharing some good conversation. The couple will happily give a tour of the inn to folks who stop by. “Lots of people know the building and are interested in seeing how it looks now” said Fickel. Anyone who is having out of town family or friends visit and is looking for a place for them to stay can also check out Hopkins Ordinary at or call 987-3383.

Strawberry Mountain Festival cancelled for this year Those of you from our area who have attended and enjoyed the Strawberry Mountain Festival in Stanardsville over the years are reminded that this year’s festival has been cancelled. Sympathy is extended to the family of Mrs. Catherine Warner Dennis of Scrabble Road who passed away on Saturday, and to the family of Mr. Weston Jameson of Norman Road who passed Edwards to be sentenced By Alexandra Bogdanovic Rappahannock News Staff Writer Waymond James Edwards Jr., who has coached a number of girls’ basketball teams in the area, has pleaded guilty to a felony count of taking indecent liberties in Fauquier County Circuit Court. According to court records, a Fauquier County Grand Jury indicted him on the charge May 23. He entered the guilty plea the same day. He is now scheduled to be sentenced in Fauquier County Circuit Court on Sept. 26. Edwards, 29, of Warrenton, was initially arrested on a charge of “animate object sexual penetration” in April. Allegations against Edwards first surfaced when a teen-aged girl confided in Kathleen Grove, the headmistress of Wakefield Country Day School in Flint Hill, Va., that he had made sexual advances towards her. Grove reportedly contacted the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department with the information. According to Maj. Paul Mercer of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, the investigation in Rappahannock revealed that the “animate object sexual penetration” offense allegedly occurred while Edwards was in the company of a 16-yearold female here March 31. The prosecution would have had ample evidence to prove its case if the matter had gone to trial, according to Commonwealth’s Attorney Jonathan Lynn. Edwards had reportedly coached JV girls basketball at Fauquier High School, and applied for the head coach position when it became available, but wasn’t hired. He also coached at Highland School in Warrenton for two years, and then went to Wakefield Country Day School as an assistant girls basketball coach this past season. In January, Wakefield Country Day School officials announced that Edwards would return as head coach of the girls basketball team next season. “We did background checks on him,” Grove sdid. “And they all came back clean.” E-mail the reporter: abogdanovic@timespapers.com Scholarship winners announced The Committee administering the MaryBeth Williams Memorial Fund has announced the recipients of its 2005 scholarships.

The stones are still there where the chimney stood, Tb see him again, would that I could. His life was working on the county roads, And early each day, he arose, And left to return, sometimes for lunch, And sometimes, I think, just to see his bunch. For he had ten younguns, and he loved us all. And he did the best he could, as I now recall. His times were different, dads didn’t hug and such, But he provided, and we didn’t want for much. v And from what I can tall, he set the bar pretty high, For those he left, and we still try, To make him proud, and respect his name. For his own Dad, he did the same. And from this day on, ‘til I cease to be, I thank my Father, for his legacy. Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you. Written June 3, 2005, for my father, Moffett H.

Turtle talk: The return of 003 Virginia now has a state bat to go with its state bird, flower, dog, insect, fossil, etc. But no state turtle! If it ever comes up, we’d like to nominate the eastern box turtle (Terrapene Carolina), probably the most familiar of Virginia’s terrestrial turtles. This turtle gets its common name from the boxy, highdomed shell. The upper shell (carapace) has the familiar dark brown and yellow pigmentation, and the lower shell (plastron) has a moveable hinge to permit closing of the front end. When disturbed, a box turtle can withdraw its head, tail and limbs completely within the shell. In Virginia box turtles are active during all but the coldest winter months. They can be seen wandering around in search of food, later on basking in the sun or resting in shallow trenches. They consume anything edible that can be found or caught. Studies indicate about half the diet of these turtles is plants and mushrooms, and the other half is invertebrates, especially earthworms, slugs and snails. Turtle traits Box turtles are most noticeable during the reproductive period. This can begin as early as April but is most evident in May and June. We’re seeing a lot of them now. Mating and nesting typically take place in the same areas each year. Males in search of females are usually observed first at nesting sites. Males will court and attempt to mate with any females they encounter. Mated females will then begin to search for appropriate sites to excavate nests. Photo courtesy of Amy Bartlett Wright Eastern Box Turtle painting Eastern Box Turtle Especially after a rain, females can be seen emerging from wooded areas to dig flask-shaped nest cavities in soft soil or open grassy spots. Clutches of 2-9 eggs are deposited and covered, and the surface is meticulously tamped and obscured from predators. If all goes well, eggs hatch in August and the hatchlings emerge from their nests to fend for themselves. Hatchlings are rounder than adults with a soft, flexible gray-black carapace that hardens with time. They are also noticeably stinky when handled. Human hazards Adult box turtles are sometimes attacked by predators, but lawn mowers and automobiles are a bigger threat. Predation is most common on eggs, especially within 24 hours after they are deposited, and on hatchlings when they first emerge from the nest. Predators of eggs and hatchlings include raccoons, skunks, and a variety of birds and snakes. Individual box turtles have recognizable home ranges where they carry out most of their activities, including reproduction. Home ranges vary in size from a fraction of an acre to twenty or more acres and a single area may support many turtles, each with its own distinct range. Turtles can remember their home ranges and recognize various physical landmarks within them. Studies have shown that turtles moved from their homes, even to unfamiliar ter RappNature Sara and Jim Lawray ritory, will always attempt to return. In the absence of landmarks they probably use some sort of sun-compass method of orientation. The home ranges of several dozen box turtles include portions of our yard. Each May and June, these same turtles (first males, then females) emerge from the forest and plod with antediluvian determination toward the same nesting sites. We know they’re the same turtles because we’ve marked them using a safe and permanent system of scute notches that permits recognition of individuals. Fifty friends We’ve now marked about 50 turtles over a 10-year period. One of the first turtles we marked is a female. We fondly refer to her as “003.” She’s been returning to her favorite nesting spots for 10 years now and we expect she will be doing this for many years to come. After all, turtles have life expectancies similar to those of humans, with most reaching 50 years or more (if they can get past the hatchling stage). Some of the best records of this come from a long-term study of marked turtles begun in the 1940s by Lucille Stickel at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Maryland. Most of the thousands of turtles there are marked, and some of the original marked turtles can still be found today. Maybe the next human inhabitants of our property will see good old “003” decades from now. We hope so. Send your news to rappnature@aol.com.

Students were issued passports, and “travelled” around the world, getting their passports stamped in each country. i Festival From Page A1 depth, and often involved student presentations. In the high school’s “Argentina, for instance, a student had a powerpoint presentation on the flags of Argentina, and one had to show that you had learned something to get your passport stamped. World class world music The band Solazo performed Latin American folk music to enthusiastic audiences at both the elementary and high schools. Hot, soulful guitar melodies, haunting vocal harmonies and lively rhythms made for an outstanding show. The music was as enchanting and as tightly produced as anything you might see at Wolftrap. Infectious rhythms filled the high school auditorium, and students danced in the aisles- the girls mostly with one another as the guys stood back trying to look cool. After a rousing set of traditional songs from Argentina, Chile and Cuba, the RCHS band came on I stage and provided brass back up j for an encore. Dos Allen, Patrick 1 Treanor, Evan Espinola, Owen Monroe, Andrew Treanor and band leader Matt Yonkey each took center stage for a solo during the extended jam. Culinary delights Beef empanadas were on hand to nibble upon in “Argentina,” but the real feast was out front. For the asking were tender, savory cous cous, Moroccan lamb meatballs (very tasty), baklava, Korean beef barbecue or bul gogi, wrapped in lettuce leaves (tasty and popular among the elementary students) among other dishes. Throughout both schools, in the various country displays, delicious, culturally appropriate food was ubiquitous. Much was from the RCHS culinaiy program, as well as from the students and teachers in the various classroom “countries” themselves. Hungary naturally had its goulash, for instance. Journeying from country to country was a meandering feast. Some of the most scrumptious offerings of all, though, were those to be had in “Chile”, where high school Spanish teacher Juan Maldonado, a Chilean native, and his wife and daughter, had piping hot, flaky cheese empanadas, commeal cookie sandwiches with “cajeta” condensed milk caramel and a traditional Chilean dessert cake of sponge cake rolled with cajeta called “Brazo de Reina” or Queen’s Arm, for its shape. Visual feast The high school library was Japan for a day. The walls were ensconced with brightly colored Japanese Anime and Manga posters and tapestries. The success of the year’s festival will hopefully lead to many more. I Tables were covered with an array I of Japanese items, from clothing to r food, books and a parasol. Sophomore Eve Nealon, a member of the Anime Club, was a fount of information on popular culture in Japan. “Anime are animated movies, and Manga are the comic books with the same style of artwork,” said Nealon. “We have some Manga here, as well as some examples of popular Japanese foods.” Nealon supplied many of the decorations in the room from her personal collection acquired at Anime conventions. Later, she could be seen in the halls dressed in traditional kimono and white face. Fellow sophomore Rachel Zeh wrote out visitor’s names in Japanese calligraphy. They offered up a tray of seaweed wrapped California rolls and dipping sauce for visitors. Pote and Pranee Virachitteyin demonstrated Thai fruit, vegetable and soap carving. The couple came out courtesy of the Thai embassy in thanks for local support for Tsunami relief efforts. They carved astonishingly intricate floral designs, making a bouquet of flowers out of soap that you had to touch it to know it wasn’t real. Outdoor activities Elementary school students waved scarves and danced a mid-east tribal dance with local dance troupe Mystic Fire. At a drumming workshop, thirty-five young students all drummed in unison like professionals. Outside on the practice field, there were llamas to see, as well as Border Collie sheep herding demonstrations. High school principal, Roger Mello organized traditional Scottish games. There was the Caber toss, where a section of a tree is tossed end-over-end, and the toss is judged on elegance and finesse; the sheaf toss, where a sheaf of straw is tossed with a pitch fork over a raised bar, and Tug-of-War, which might possibly already be familiar to readers. The success of this year’s festival will hopefully lead to many more. Bill Kossler may be reached at bkossler@timespapers. com 4 •: 05 Pontiac cto.

COLORFUL CAST: The actors and actresses bowed to boisterous bravos after their successful performance of “The Princess Bride.” SuumMucMm# *3**000266 Sfaide* showcased student talent By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News There are talented young thespians afoot in Rappahannock County. With incredible flair, deep passion, and light-hearted humor, the Rappahannock County High School players brought new life to the fairytale story of adventure, mishaps and ultimate true love with their performance Friday evening of “The Princess Bride.” The RCHS auditorium was filled with laughter as the audience, young and not-so-young alike, cheered “Wesley, the farm boy” and his loyal friends, Inigo and Fezzik,” as he defeated the “evil Prince Humperdinck” to rescue the beautiful “Princess Buttercup” from a fate worse than death. And there’s a touch of that as well, along with fighting, fencing, torture, poison, beasts of all descriptions, snakes, spiders, revenge, cowards, hate, true love, beautiful ladies, brave men, and . . . miracles! . Based on author 'William Goldman’s well-known book made into a movie of the same name, this year’s well-attended performance continued the tradition of the past five years of the high school’s drama department productions. In contrast to the RCHS Players’ production last year of an intense drama (“The Crucible”), this year’s play was a rollicking romantic come dy, filled with swashbucklers and colorful characters. The audience was given plenty of opportunity to vicari ously experience imaginary places and the thrill of high adventure as players took them to a fire swamp, sailing the high seas of Eel Infested Waters, climbing the Cliffs of Insanity and going to the Pits of Despair. Jean Elizabeth, the director of the drama department, proudly introduced the play with a salute to all of her students who worked so hard to memorize and master the incredibly complex lines of the many vignettes that made up this play. Elizabeth particularly heralded the addition of a last minute substitute to portray a leading role in the production, that of “Inigo Montoya,” the passionate Spanish swashbuckler who saved the day in more ways than one. “The saying—the show must go on! -was all too true for this production,” the director said. “With less than a month before opening night, one of the lead* actors, Erick Montague, broke his leg and was unable to continue. He played a central character, Inigo Montoya, a Spanish swordsman hell-bent on avenging the death of his murdered father. There was only one person that I knew that could learn the role with so little time—Tyler Williams, a 2004 RCHS graduate.” “Williams is enormously talented See BRIDE, Page B7 ‘The Aviator’ comes to The Theatre in Little Washington By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News Gaining early fame as a maverick filmmaker who romanced his pick of Hollywood women after inheriting millions he chronically overspent, Howard Hughes later designed and crashed planes with equal flamboyance. Starring Leonardo DiCapno as the eccentric Howard Hughes and directed by Martin Scorsese, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community is showing “The Aviator” at The Theatre in Washington, VA, Friday, June 17, 8:00 p.m. The Golden Globe Awards gave its top award to DiCaprio for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture and chose the film for Best Motion Picture-Drama. The Academy Awards nominated this film in 11 categories, gamering the Oscar in five including Cate Blanchett for Best Actress in a Supporting role. Written by John Logan (“Gladiator” and “Any Given Sunday”) “The Aviator” begins with Hughes as a impressionable Texas boy being bathed by his mother as she instills in him his famous fear of germs. The movie moves quickly to 1927 to find him as a 22-year-old rich kid trying to break into Hollywood at the top, with a series of very funny sequences that reveal his obsessive, three-year quest to make his WWI aerial epic, “Hells Angels.” Against the odds, we see Hughes conquer Hollywood and win its greatest lady, the young, untamed Kate Hepburn (played by Cute Blanchett). Hughes’ rising business career contrasts with his round-the-world plane trip, and these high-soaring scenes end with the film’s seguing first climax: the crash of his experimental plane in Beverly Hills, a symbolic smashup that condemns Hughes to a life of pain and turns the movie permanently dark. Scorsese brings us close enough to feel the fire singe Hughes’ mustache and eyebrows. In these gathering shadows come Hughes’ purchase of TWA and his battles with Pan American’s bully tycoon Juan Trippe (Alec Baldwin) and Trippe’s Maine Senator Owen Brewster (Alan Alda), in the famed Senate committee hearing showdown. This leads to one of “The Aviator’s” two scenes that rank among the greatest in a long time: Hughes “taking down” Maine Senator Ralph Owen Brewster at a congressional hearing on corruption in the awarding of World War II-era government contracts. The other outstanding scene is the Beverly Hills plane crash that almost killed Hughes and probably exacerbated the dementia, germophobia and haggard appearance of his final reclusive decades. A magnificent DiCaprio captures Hughes’ drive and intensity yet also makes you see how, before he went fully over the brink, someone so impossible was also genuinely liked by so many. We know how badly things ended ior Howard Hughes. We’ve read stories over the years of the mad old man, with unkempt beard and elongated nails, padding around a Las Vegas suite in tissue paper box shoes, endlessly watching prints of “Ice Station Zebra” and others. As Hughes, DiCaprio could hardly be better. He fully captures Hughes’ drive and intensity. It is his career-best performance. Cate Blanchett captures Hepburn with great flair. “The Aviator” is rated PG-13 and contains sexual scenes, nudity, obscenity and a gruesome crash landing. Run time is 169 minutes. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and. Community is showing ‘The Aviator,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, at The Theatre in Washington, Friday, June 17, 8:00 p.m.

Ki Theatre presents ‘Stories Run Through Us’ Now in its second year By Bette Mahoney Special to the Rappahannock News On Saturday, June 25 at 8 p.m., Ki Theatre will present its second annual “Stories Run Through Us” at its theatre on Gay Street in Washington, Virginia. Each year “Stories” features new plays adapted from short stories written by area writers. The stories were inspired by Life Stories Workshops, a series of seminars organized by Julie Portman that teach people of all backgrounds and ages to write and share their own stories. This year’s plays, adapted by county residents Patty Hardee and Joyce Abell, are: “The Medicine of Belier by Melanie Kopjanski of Boston, VA and a native of Rappahannock. The play explores a young boy’s quest for a spiritual identity in the guise of a Cherokee medicine man “ShippingNSeamen” by Jane Coon of Woodville and Washington, DC. A retired diplomat, Coon recounts how she overcame the doubts and restrictions of a male culture as a young woman in the Foreign Service in Bombay “My Sister’s Hair” by Sharon L. Davie of Charlottesville, Director of the University of Virginia Women’s Center. The autobiographical play reveals Davie’s family dynamics through her mother’s and sister’s experiences with breast cancer. This is the second year that Davie’s work has been featured in “Stories Run Through Us.” Last year, she debuted her quirky story “Who Done It?” “Starsong” by Nicole Espinola of Washington, a local high school student. Espinola’s haunting and ethereal play explores the truth of perception over reality. “Stories Run Through Us” features an ensemble cast, many of whom play multiple roles. The performers are Joyce Abell, Bill Dobrovir, Sara DoddHenze, Dana Dwyer, Pat Hamilton, Patty Hardee, Paula Henry, Miranda Hope, Sharon Kilpatrick, Maddie Kopjanski, Frank Murray, Ronnie Pelletier, Adam Rhein, Bruce Sloan, and Laura Wheatley. Many of the performers have appeared in other Ki Theatre productions, including last year’s “Stories Run Through Us” and the “The Shepherds’ Play.” Patty Hardee, resident of Flint Hill and co-creator of “Stories Run Through Us,” is also directing “The Medicine of Belief,” “Starsong,” and My Sister’s Hair.” She has a background in theatre and comedy. Joyce Abell of Woodville, well known to the Ki Theatre community as the producer and director of Ki’s popular “No Ordinary Person” series, is directing “ShippingNSeamen.” The production staff Photo by Bette Mahoney “STARSONG” STARS: Bruce Sloane, Bill Dobrovir, and Maddie Kopjanski rehearse in a play by Nicole Espinola. includes Scott Kelly of Flint Hill (stage manager and sound designer); Betsy Toth, better known to Ki Theatre audiences for her direction of “The Shepherds’ Play” and “Midsummer’s Night Dream,” (lighting designer); and Bette Mahoney (producer).

Richard ‘Freeman’ Allan arrives safely and heads south - of the border that is 1000 mile paddling adventure ends Hello, All - Freeman paddled into a Mobile, AL park yesterday morning (Monday, June 6) and, with TV cameras rolling, he was presented with a key to the city for his canoe trip in support of the Cuba Summit. By last night, Hobs was in the passenger seat of his old Rappahannock buddy, Ray Miller’s, pick-up truck. By now they should be close to the Mexican border, on their way to the wedding of Ray’s daughter, Adrina, in Tulum. The wedding will be June 20th, and after that Freeman will take a bus or train to Albuquerque, New Mexico to join me in adoring our soon-tobe-bom granddaughter. Thus ends the tale of the canoe adventure, but most likely this is not the last tale of “forever young,” Allan. With love to all, Joyce Allan ■CHERRY STREETI Building Supply Com.

On the night of the new moon, the worlds of the living and dead intersected. Led by the eldest son, families gathered to follow the ancient tradition of remembering the dead. They offered food and drink to their ancestors and asked them for blessings during a memorial feast known as “kispum." The performance of this rite marked the eldest sons as heirs to their fathers, and it linked the living and the dead in a relationship of mutual dependence. Remembering the dead was believed to keep the spirits contented and bring good fortune. When we pass the anniversary date of a loved one’s death, we often feel the same sharp grief as we did the year earner. Inis is common. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, we have resources for folks whose grief just doesn’t seem to abate-ask us for referrals or suggestions. For a tour, call 347-3431, Bright View Cemetery, just outside Warrenton, offers memorials for all cemeteries. “Every mortal loss is an immortal gain.” -William Blake

He also served as the director of news operations for Times Community Newspapers, which owns the Rappahannock News and the Times-Democrat. Community journalism provided a strong foundation for his new job, Hatter said. “Our job at the paper was to inform our readers - our customers - about the events that were affecting or likely to affect their lives. Many of VDOTs operations have a significant effect on people’s daily lives. One of my jobs as public affairs manager is to inform and educate the public about what VDOT and the Culpeper District are doing. Tb do that most effectively I look forward to getting to know our employ Lou Hatter ees and their jobs, so I can tell , their stories too.” “Hatter has 20 years of expe- • rience with the news media, familiarity with the District’s nine counties and its people, and enthusiasm for excellence and performance,” said Morteza Salehi, Culpeper District Administrator. “I’m pleased to have him join our team.” Hatter grew up in Baltimore, Md., the son of a newspaper reporter who covered the Orioles for the Baltimore Sun. He attended Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa. He moved to Rappahannock Coun ty in 1984 and worked for two years as a sous-chef at The Inn at Little Washington before becoming editor of the Rappahannock News.
