No. 26 Worldwide at timescommunity.com 50 CENTS Rappahannock NonProfit Center hires executive director By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer A new nonprofit organization has arrived on our scene. They have hired Bridget Chisholm, of Hume, Virginia as part-time executive director and are looking for office space. The Rappahannock Nonprofit Center (RNPC) is a resource for other nonprofits and charities. The brainchild of a collection of notables among Rappahannock's volunteer community, it is the flowering of an idea germinated in thie fall of 2003. That is when Martin Woodard, Bill and Linda Dietel, Amy Silver and others began meeting to discuss what could be done to help coordinate and improve the efforts of our local volunteer community. These folks planned a meeting of all interested nonprofit organizations at the Rappahannock Public See NON-PROFIT, Page A3 RNPC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Bridget Chisholm New winery finds home in Rappahannock County By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, on School House Road in Washington, Va., a new winery opens its doors, carrying on a tradition that has been the heritage of the Gadino family. However, this will be the first commercial endeavor by the family, who has grown grapes and made wine for several generations. “It is part of our heritage and we are so proud of that,” Aleta Gadino, one of the founders of Gadino Cellars said, adding that they will be decorating a wall in the tasting room as a memorial to their Italian heritage — one where both she and her husband, Bill's grandfathers were amateur wine makers. “The love of a glass of wine with good food and family was instilled in both of us at an early age,” Bill Gadino added. For the Gadino family, the heritage See GADINO, Page A3 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jeanne Spath GETTING READY: From left Aleta Gadino and Derek and Stephanie Pross prepare for the grand opening of Gadino Cellars. Amissville Fire and Rescue request becoming a Gordian Knot By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer For the second time running the meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals was dominated by debate over a request for a zoning variance by the Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company (AVFRC). For the second time running, the matter remains unresolved. Two good causes are pitted against one another, and they cannot both prevail. Also, applying the law is turning out to be subtle and complicated. To review: The AVFRC owns a small parcel of land, of about one and a half acres. If the land can be built upon, the AVFRC can sell it for a tidy sum. Money for their invaluable service to the county is hqrd to come by and sorely leeded. Right now the parcel cannot be built upon because there is no spot within the parcel that meets setback Meetings & Notices • The Rappahannock News will be closed Monday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day.

Jack Atkins, President of the AVFRC requests a variance changing the setbacks for this one parcel from 100 down to 50 feet. The AVFRC has an offer for the property, but that offer is contingent upon a variance allowing the buyer to build a residence. Opponents of granting the vari ance argue that strict enforcement of the zoning rules benefits the county as a whole. They argue preserving the agricultural character of the area through the zoning codes designed to do just that is more important than granting this particular variance.

Flint Hill’s new highway sign erected by Boy Scouts By Richard Lyres Special to the Rappahannock News Thanks to the creative talents of Dorian Matthews who will be a senior this fall at Wakefield Country Day School, Flint Hill proudly boasts one of the most attractive village signs in the Piedmont. The project of designing and building the sign—and later installing it—was the brainstorm of Matthews, a member of Rappahannock County Scout Troop 36. Young Matthews was looking for a good project for his Eagle Scout medal and brought it to members of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Flint Hill Fire Company. By coincidence, the Auxiliary at about the same time also was thinking of erecting a sign for Flint Hill.

Gadino From Page A1 will continue as their daughter, Stephanie and husband Derek Pross have joined in on the making of a family-owned winery with Stephanie being the winemaker and Derek is the production manager. “I think it is great to have both generations - their generation combines food with wine and ours enjoys fun wine,” Stephanie said. Another Gadino daughter, Angela, is currently doing her graduate work at CalPoly in Vita-culture, after receiving her bachelors degree at Virginia Tech. The Gadino's also have one son, Justin. Backyard harvest Bill and Aleta's quest for grape growing and winemaking stemmed not only from heritage, but also from time spent while Bill was in the Navy, stationed in California. While visiting Gemello Vineyards in Moffett Field, California, Bill recalls seeing a photo of “Grandpa Gemello” at age 96, still crushing grapes. It just so happened that Bill was visiting the vineyards on what would have been Grandpa Gemello's 100th birthday. “It was an inspiration,” Bill said, ‘letting me know there was something I could do after my second retirement.” The Gadino's first backyard harvest of Zinfandel in 1983 resulted in a product both enjoyed, as did friends and family. By 1984, the family moved to Virginia, and with the desire to continue winemaking, arranged to have grapes shipped from California. In 1990, the first vines were planted in Rappahannock County on what is now Gadino Cellars, with a concentration on reds which they began to sell to Gray Ghost Vineyards in Amissville in 1993. That venture introduced the Gadino's to Tbm Payette, who used to be winemaker at Prince Michell near Charlottesville. Payette has been working with the Gadino's for their 2004 harvest which includes Chardonnay, Viognier, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sunset White, which is a delicate blend that was inspired by the sunsets just over the Blue Ridge Mountains. Grand opening Almost a year has passed since ground was first broken, building a wine cellar 10-feet into a hillside as the foundation to the Gadino Cellars building and business. With the help of local builder Tom Taylor, the result is an exquisite tasting room with the tasting bar designed by the Pross'. “Stephanie and Derek visited vineyards all around to see what they did and did not like at tasting bars,” Bill explained, “and the main thing was not to have people standing in line waiting to taste.” The bar extends most of the length of the tasting room, with tiled tables placed inside as well. However, perhaps the best place to enjoy tasting is on the deck outside, overlooking several acres of vineyards, with the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains looming in the backdrop. On July 9, Gadino Cellars will celebrate its grand opening with the tasting room open from Friday through Sunday, 12 noon - 6 p.m. thereafter.

Inc Request From Page A1 Complicating the debate, Peter Luke, attorney for the County, recused himself at the last meeting because of personal ties to the AFFRC, and the BZA voted to solicit a legal analysis from local attorney Douglas Baumgardner. Baumgardner has researched the matter and provided the BZA with a summary of the law and his professional conclusion on how it applies here. Thatanalysis was made public at the meeting Wednesday. It turns out the law is both very complicated and difficult to clearly apply in this case. The following explanation of Baumgardner's analysis is an oversimplification for the sake of brevity. In essence, the BZA can only legally grant the request in this case if the AVFRC can show that without it, they lose all reasonable use of the land or the value of the land is documented to be dramatically lower without the variance. If that hurdle is overcome, they may only grant the smallest variance that will still allow any reasonable use of the parcel, or prevent a drastic loss of value. So a change in the setbacks cannot be general, but only the smallest change absolutely necessary to avoid the loss of any profitable use. BZA member Alex Sharp argued that it is clear without more research and documenta1 tion that the parcel is much more valuable if a house can be built upon it. The rest of the board wanted to see concrete evidence of the value of the parcel with and without a variance. The entire BZA agreed that a general waiver of the setback requirements was not allowable, so they urged Atkins to return with more detailed plans, and present them for approval. These subtleties of the law governing zoning appeals did not appear to fascinate Atkins. Atkins pointed out that he merely wanted to sell the property, so such plans would be imaginary, and appraisals and plans would be, in his view, a waste of AVFRC time and money- arid therefore a waste of taxpayer money. He repeated his request for a general waiver of the 100' setback requirement, in favor of a 50' minimum. As detailed above, the BZA cannot grant such a general waiver. If the board had voted the request down, the AVFRC could not make a modified request for 12 months, lb prevent this happening, Sharp moved that the BZA table the matter for a month, and recommend to Atkins that he return with appraisals and other evidence of likely loss of value if a vari ance is not granted. He also moved that the BZA formally request a more accurate site plan. Jennifer Mathews seconded thef motion and it passed unanimously. The issue will be revisited at the next BZA meeting. In other matters, the BZA table a request by Walter and Deborah Craig for a special use permit. The request for a per-^ mit to operate a Bed and. Breakfast on Lantern Lane irr Viewtown, was tabled pending action by the Planning* Commission. ' A request by David and Lisa Jones for a special use permit was approved unanimously, pending health department approval. The request was forbuilding a family apartment for their father. The next BZA meeting will not be held on the regular appointed day. The meeting will be held instead on Friday, July 22. Sign From Page A1 approved the project and commissioned Dorian to make the sign. It was installed last week at both entrances to Flint Hill. Flint Hill architect Dwight Matthews, Dorian’s dad who was helping his son and others install tiie sign, proudly noted, “Not only did Dorian design and craft the sign, he also handled all the various transactions and government requirements—like checking with “Miss Utility” and getting permission from the county to put up the sign.” Quite a major undertaking and accomplishment for a high school student! Arland Welch of the Ladies Auxiliary who helped push the idea to fruition, also praised the sign and the Boy Scouts who collaborated with Matthews. With great pride, she said, “It’s the prettiest village sign in Virginia, don’t you think.” i Non-profit From Page A1 Library in January of 2004. They put notice in the Rappahannock News, posted flyers, made phone calls to resource groups, church members, community leaders and nonprofit organizations The meeting that winter showed considerable interest:. "There were actually sixty or sixty five people at that meeting" Chisholm recalls. Ib get a handle on what local groups needed, they gave out a questionnaire. The results of that survey made clear that far and away the top two concerns were fundraising and developing and keeping executive boards and volunteers on the ground. Help with grant writing, strategic planning, charitable tax deductions and communicating with the Rappahannock community were also major concerns. Those needs provided the roadmap for embryonic RNPC. Bringing experience to the table Chisholm, a resident of Hume, Virginia, was chosen from a pool with a number of highly qualified professionals. She has over 15 years of non-profit experience. She has organized fundraising events of all sizes, written successful grant proposals, managed hundreds of volunteers, partnered with large and small companies to co-sponsor events, and worked closely with the media in the past, the RNPC tells us. Chisholm brings both experience and enthusiasm to her new role: “I was commuting 3 hours a day (even in my car pool!) to my job at 12th and New York and I knew I could not sustain that for much longer. I loved working for The Joint Oceanographic Institutions, they were a fabulous group of scientists doing excellent and important research, but my quality of life was suffering. I feel so fortunate to have been chosen as The Executive Director for The Rappahannock Non-Profit Center. I can not wait to be of service to the community." Chisholm goes on to tell us: "We are planning an event for early fall and hope to see all the non profits in the area attend. Local residents, businesses and non profits in other counties are also welcome Our goal at RNPC is to serve the needs of the community, to be a resource, a shoulder to lean on. We envision an office with printed resource materials, a pool of professionals that a non-profit can go to for consultation at no fee or a reduced fee, helping volunteers find a non-profit to serve, media relations assistance, fundraising assistance, things of that nature. ... We hope to fill any voids that may exist in the community."

But in a good way. Friends and family had gathered to pay their respects at the service held for Carson Johnson who passed away on Monday. Johnson joins the ranks of other Rappahannock angels who leave behind a legacy of community service, good will and especially good heart. Known and loved by many, Johnson was instrumental in crafting the Sperryville sewer system and served on the SperryviUe Water and Sewer Authority until his death. He worked tirelessly on finding solutions to problems. Carson and his wife Aileen were familiar faces at the annual Sperfyville Firemen's carnival serving up grilled goodies. An avid trout fisherman, Carson knew and loved the pleasures of fishing and created several ponds around the Sperryville area for fish and wildfowl. Of course, he will be missed and remembered fondly. It's always like that for people who have garnered a reputation for liking and caring about people and finding no problem putting action together with their noble thoughts and feelings. Ijocal resident Martin Woodard put it very succinctly and sincerely. “In my mind, Carson Johnson was one of the finest people in Rappahannock county and the best neighbor one could wish for.” Fine wine Rappahannock County has another winery to claim as its own - Gadino Cellars which will be celebrating their grand opening soon. Oasis Winery owner Tareq Salahi, featured in this week's issue, has much to celebrate with the Supreme Court’s recent decision allowing direct wine shipments to consumers. Several wine aficionados in the county claim with great pride that Rappahannock County has some of the best soil for growing grapes in the country. With the number of award winners that surface each year from local wineries, it appears those claims are true.

A motorcyclist, while seeking a thrill near Skyline Drive, had no consideration for the danger to innocent motorists and their passengers. Though the law enforcement officers attempt to deal with this serious problem, they need the assistance and cooperation of conscientious motorcyclists and concerned citizens both here in Rappahannock County and elsewhere.

As Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, two men who greatly influence the Congress that voted to adopt the Declaration, recommended, this county regularly celebrates this national holiday with parades, patriotic singing and fireworks. - William Carrigan said his family had always had fireworks in celebration of the Fourth of vuly. When he tried family fireworks in 1961after moving into Avon Hall, he found they attracted people from-miles around. So Mr. Carrigan graciously decided to invite the community to come view them from the grounds of Avon Hall. A few years later the Washington Volunteer Fire Department decided to take advantage of the gathered crowds to sell a Bar-B-Cue dinner to those who came for the fireworks and Mr. Camgan expanded the evening program to include children s games and family entertainment before the start of the fireworks.

Polo and Wine: The Perfect Match By Laura Hexderson Special to the Rappahannock News Virginia’s lush rolling hills are home to some of the finest equine farms and distinguished vineyards in the world. It is no surprise then that exceptional polo teams and award-winning wines originate here. Oasis Winery’s Tareq Salahi is an aficionado of both. As captain of the official United States Polo Association’s “Virginia is for Lovers” team, he travels throughout the world to promote the upcoming celebration of Jamestown’s 400th anniversary in 2007. “Most people don’t even know the birthplace of the foundation of winemaking in America is here in Virginia,” said Salahi. By 1609, English settlers at Jamestown pressed native American grapes and produced their own wine. The connection to our English forbearers continues today through the sport ot polo. Having played with Prince Charles at the Tidworth Polo Club, Tareq enjoys friendly competition with the British. He promoted a charity polo match between the United States and England at Bleu Rock Inn’s inaugural match. Salahi reminisced, “I told a friend of mine named Calvert Clark... if you build this polo arena, I will bring you the English polo team that if patroned by the Prince of Wales, but you have ten days to build it.” The carpenters hammered the last nail into the arena as the British team walked towards the gate. Although the U.S. lost by one goal, the event raised about $60,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Polo, wine and twilight As the Society’s “Man of the Year” in 2002, Salahi enjoys supporting charitable foundations. “Polo, Wine, and Twilight Dine” continues the fundraising efforts of Oasis Winery. The evening polo matches on Fridays at Bleu Rock and on Saturdays at Great Meadow raise money for the “Charity for the Cure” which benefits the Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. There is a nominal admission fee of ten dollars per carload and several ways to enjoy the games that run from June through the second week of September. There are wine packages available that spectators can request such as having Virginia wine and cheese waiting for you upon arrival. Another package includes a visit to a few wineries, a polo lesson at the Willow Run Polo COIN T R Y F • L • 6 • W • t • R G A R D if. N 1ESES . PAY LILIES .

The event epitomizes the best Virginia has to offer. “Virginia is very much horse country. Virginia is very much wine country. You blend the two together and it’s sort of its own Meritage of polo and wine. It’s the best of both worlds,” said Salahi. Love of the vine Salahi’s passion for polo is surpassed only by his love of wine. A graduate of the University of California at Davis, Salahi is a second-generation winemaker. He helped to plant the first vines of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay at Oasis with his parents in 1977. At that time, there were only a few other wineries in Virginia. The Salahis experimented with different varietals such as Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. Through trial and error, they learned what grew well at their site and what did not. “You learn from your mistakes and that helps the industry become better and bigger for everyone,” noted Salahi. Oasis has evolved to become one of the most prestigious wineries in the world. “We’re the only winery in North America to be rated top ten in the world by Wine Enthusiast Magazine and we’ve been added to the prestige list of the great champagnes of France,” Salahi commented. Their sparkling wines rival Dom Perignon, Cristal, and Krug. Oasis uses the “Methode Champenoise” which is the same method that is used in Champagne, France. All of their cuvees have cream vanilla tones and soft finishes. “I love seeing the smile on people’s faces when they taste our champagne...there’s nothing like it in the world, especially when you can do it to a Frenchman or French woman or a Californian,” beamed Salahi. Wine for our times Wine enthusiasts are discovering Virginia wines as a source to be reckoned with. The sheer number of wineries in the state is a sign of good things to come. “Our future is written in the stars because we’re growing at a phenomenal rate. Washington, D.C. is ranked number one in wine consumption per capita in the country and we are now the Napa Valley of the East Coast,” said Salahi. He believes Virginia will have two hundred wineries by 2012. “We’re not going to be bigger in quantity of wine, but we will be bigger in quality and in the number of wineries,” Salahi added. Teamwork triumphs Cooperation is what binds the industry together. Salahi knows about working with others. Whether playing polo with his fellow athletes or organizing the Blue Ridge WineWay, he understands the one fundamental principal for success-teamwork. “Teamwork is critical in polo. Teamwork is also critical in winemaking. The Virginia New Moms Support Group JULY 7 10-11 30 am, Call for location (540) 829-4114 Pre-cegistration required.

Rose O Oasis Winery’s new Rose O is going to be cause for celebration at Jamestown’s 400th anniversary. Releasing in 2005, it is a cuvee of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The sparkling wine comes from Salahi's favorite brut-the 1988 Celebration of Infinity. The only difference is that this one is finished in the rose style. Less than two hundred cases have been produced. “This is by far the most prestigious spariding wine or champagne that has ever been produced not only in the Commonwealth, but in the world,” said Salahi who plans on serving it in 2007 when the Royal Family comes over to participate in the polo games. He eagerly awaits the new season of “Polo, Wine, and Twilight Dine.” Salahi commented, “you have something that’s so beautiful, that preserves land, keeps the green, brings money and increases the tax base to the Commonwealth and also supports charity...if you ask for the best things that could happen in Virginia, we’re doing it.” We have the answer to rising fuel prices & how to have fun at the same time.

School News Wakefield Country Day School News In the summer months, Wakefield Country Day School shifts its focus from academics to enrichment, offering, summer camp classes in a variety of subjects. Class offerings include two sports camps: basketball, coached by WCDS students Patrick Dale and Ben Luke and soccer, coached by Gali Sanchez, WCDS’ varsity soccer coach and winner of this year’s Delaney Athletic Conference “Coach of the Year.” Also offered are a number of classes taught by WCDS faculty: Arts, Crafts, and Cooking classes by Kathy McNitt, Science by Christine Chatelain, and Drama by Kristin Hauger. Beginning on July 11th, a three week Latin course will be offered by John McMahon. This $400 course is open to students in grades 9-12, and openings are still available. Going the vocational trade route has opportunities By Miranda Hope Special to the Rappahannock News Miranda Hope provides career counseling at the Rappahannock County High School through a program called Next Steps. Hope helps parents and students wade through the myriad of steps in filing for financial aid for colleges, filling out applications and looking for scholarships for the college bound. Hope recently took a group of young students on a field trip of sorts to learn firsthand about other opportunities after high school — like pursuing a career in the trades. First stop - Rick Nawrocki’s welding studio On Tuesday, June 21st, I took juniors Carter Bruce, Jeremy Miller, and Bob Pearson on a tour of local vocational opportunities. First stop was Rick Nawrocki’s welding studio on Rte 211 at Massie’s Comer. Rick showed us his shop and talked about the pros and cons of being self-employed. “The customer becomes your employer,” he said. “But, I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Rick believes in doing a job right the first time. “When something leaves my shop, I don’t want to see it come back again. And I never have.” He emphasized the importance of being a craftsman, and advised the young men to work hard in school and in life. “And j The Time To Buy Is NOW!

Tve seen guys that couldn’t cut you two pieces of steel that same length if they had all day.” Ross Industries Our next stop was Ross Industries in Midland, Virginia, about 10 miles outside of Warrenton. Ross fabricates food processing and packaging equipment. Diane Roteman, Director of Human Services, and Joe Cowman, Head of Operations, gave us lunch and a tour. First we saw their latest product, a shiny, new $240,000 meat processor. Ross’ customers include big names like Tyson, Smithfield, and Outback Steakhouse. They manufacture 72 percent of the parts that they use and they ship the finished products - hundreds each year - - all over the world. Next, we donned safety glasses and toured Ross’ immaculate, state-of-the-art welding and machine shop. Ross employs over 130 people as welders, machinists, designers, salespeople, and technicians. Their workers are highly skilled and all the training is “on the job.” The RCHS students were impressed with the “Solid Works” design software and the CNC machinery, million-dollar computer-controlled machines that transform blocks of solid aluminum into highly detailed trays. Mr. Cowman said, “We are looking for dedicated workers with initiative, mechanical aptitude, maturity, and math, especially trigonometry.” Mostly, he wants to see someone with a desire to work hard. “We hired a young man who had worked a year at Subway,” he said. “He is one of our best workers.” Ross is looking for summer and fulltime help and may design an apprentice program for the school year. Automotive program at Germ anna Our last stop was the “Open House” for Germanna Community College’s Automotive Program at the George Washington Carver Piedmont Technical Center in Rapidan, Virginia, 6 miles south of Culpeper. Brent Wilson runs two yearlong programs there: Automotive Diagnostician and Automotive Technician. He assured us that anyone with training who wants a mechanic job can get one. “The country needs 300,000 more mechanics, and these skills translate to other jobs as well, on tractors, bridges, anything mechanical.” He told us about scholarships and Governor Warner’s “Pathways to Industry” program, through which many high school graduates can attend the program for free. The students were impressed with the facility and, of course, with the two dragsters on the shop floor, each sporting a high performance V-8, with enough horses for a stampede. Trade and vocational opportunities abound Listed below are just some of the many local career, trade, and vocational opportunities. More are listed at www.techschooldirectory.com. Students should contact the schools/programs, and look at their materials and websites. Talk to Mr. Norman, Mr. Schlosser, or Ms. Hope, and arrange a visit. If you Photo by Miranda Hope ENGINE ON: Jeremy Miller, Carter Bruce, and Bob Pearson admire the roar of the V-8 engine a Germanna's Automotive Program. are interested in the building trades, contact the Apprenticeship Council of Virginia at (804) 371-2327 (Richmond) or (703) 392-0900 (Manassas). Be sure that any program is accredited and/or licensed (go to www.ACCST. org to check). Other means of evaluating a program include: check the graduation rates, job placement and years in operation, find out if the certificate/ degree is useful/required for the field in which you want to work, ask for financial aid information and the names and phone numbers of recent graduates, research to see if you can get the same training elsewhere, sit in on a class, and lastly, be wary of sales representatives that want you to sign something before you have made a thoughtful and informed choice. • The Apprentice School, Newport News, VA (Shipbuilding - get paid to go to school, paid vacations and benefits; has a football team) 757380-3809 • Aviation Institute of Maintenance, Virginia Beach, VA (Shiela Mabrey, Admissions Director) 757-363-2121 • Cosmetology!

Correction Anna Kreyling Valedictorian In an article entitled “Nearly 100 graduate from RCHS” that appeared in the June 23 issue of the Rappahannock News the photograph labeled Anna Kreyling is Mattie Nawrocki. The photograph labeled Mattie Nawrocki is Cherie Woodard. The Rappahannock News deeply regrets this error. Cherie Woodard Mattie Nawrocki Co-Salutatorian Non-profit From Page A3 Workshops coming up RNPC plans a series of seminars and workshops in the near future. Amy Silver is organizing the first, scheduled tentatively for early August, on using ebase®, a charitable donor management software package. The software not only helps keep track of donors and amounts, but also to tailor fundraising efforts so that groups ask the right people for the right sort of contribution, and don't waste effort with poorly thought out requests. Chisholm says in the offing are "grant writing and volunteer retention workshops, and board recruitment and retention" where she plans to have a couple of professional grant writers come in and speak. "We also plan a Fundraising 101 'Beyond the Bakesale' seminar. It will teach how to develop and approach a systematic funding plan. We will teach how to look for foundations and even corporations for assistance." Chisholm says. Although, as they pointed out, they were not the architects of this particular effort, Woodard and Chisholm hold up Sunnyside Market's work with the Farm to Table program as exemplary of the sort of corporate cooperation they envision: "Sunnyside works with the Farm to Table program in theschools. Sunnyside gets good PR and feedback from the schools. The School gets a curriculum that supports agriculture" Woodard notes. All parties in the arrangement get something. They want to encourage looking for opportunities of that sort. Opportunity to fill a need Resource centers like the RNPC are relatively few and far between in Virginia. Since they work as a catalyst, increasing the efficiency of charity dollars being spent already, there is a great potential for expanding their field over time: "We envision the center growing and reaching out to the neighboring counties. Most states have statewide nonprofit resource centers. Virginia does not. We are not saying we are going to be statewide!' Chisholm qualifies. At the same time, while other organizations may in time come in and fill the statewide role of nonprofit assistance in the future, there is plenty of room for growth. Charity Directory and Website Right now Chisholm is working on a directory of local charitable and nonprofit organization and a center website. Both of these are slated for completion by the end of July. The directory will be available for local realtors and others, so that new arrivals in the area can plug themselves into the community right away. The website: www.mpc.org (which is not up yet- check at the end of July) will provide information on their upcoming activities and services, as well as on the array of local nonprofit organizations, and providing information on their activities and services. If anyone has information about potential office space, please contact the RNPC. Currently, Executive Director Bridget Chisholm may be reached at (540) 364-0065 or email: bridget@bccplanning.com.

Eventually, however, talking about their emotions with a friend helps them cope with their new reality. Good friends are accepting of the emotions and mood swings that may come into play soon after the death of a loved one. When special anniversaries and holidays arise, good friends make sure that grieving individuals do not have to observe these occasions alone. These special days can stir memories and thoughts that can be difficult to bring to mind. With the help and support of friends, the grieving process can be somewhat easier to navigate. Talking with friends and family about loss can sometimes ease the pain. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we're here to help you with all the logistical matters of funeral arrangements.

Help Preserve Rappahannock County Place Your Property in Conservation Easement Today Independence Day celebrates America’s Birthday On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and democracy was bom. Independence Day is regarded as the birthday of the United States as a free and independent nation. Most Americans simply call it the “Fourth of July.” The holiday recalls the singing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. At that time, the people of the 13 British colonies located along the eastern coast of what is now the United States were involved in a war over what they considered unjust treatment by the king and parliament in Britain. The war began in 1775 and as it continued, the colonists realized that they were fighting not just for better treatment, they were fighting for freedom from England's rule. The Declaration of Independence, signed by leaders from the colonies, stated this clearly, and for the first time in an official document the colonies were referred to as the United States of America. Flint Hill, Virginia Well maintained brick ranch on beautifully landscaped, fenced lot. Three bedrooms, large country kitchen, full basement. Many upgrades. Immaculate condition. INCREDIBLE MOUNTAIN VIEWS. A real gem. $329,000 Jan Clatterbuck Virginia took the first step toward independence by voting to set up a committee to represent the colonies. This first Continental Congress met in September of 1774. They drew up a list of grievances against the crown which became the first draft of a document that would formally separate the colonies from England. George Washington took command of the Continental Army and began fighting the British in Massachusetts. For the next eight years, colonists fought fervently in the Revolutionary War. Meantime, a war of words was being waged in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On July 2, 1776, the Second Continental Congress presented and debated a second draft of the list of grievances, and John Hancock, the president of the Second Continental Congress, was the first to sign. The document, called the Declaration of Independence, was treasonous against the crown and 56 men who signed it were in danger of being executed. me rourcn oi juiy is celebrated publicly with parades and marching bands, patriotic speeches, and displays of fireworks. Many communities have concerts that conclude with “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” a patriotic march and salute to the American flag. Next week as we celebrate 229th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the thoughts of everyone turn to having a good time and enjoying the day. We wish all our readers a happy and safe Fourth of July but urge everyone to use caution and prudence in order to avoid happiness turning into tragedy. So we join the Rappahnnock County Sheriffs Office, the Virginia State Police and Rappahnnock County Fire and Rescue Association in wishing the county's residents a happy and safe Fourth of July holiday.

This year’s festival was held at Sperryville's Sunnyside @ The School House on Saturday, June 25. Organized by Janet Davis of Sunnyside Institute, Amy Silver of Headwaters, and Kathryn Treanor of the Rappahannock County High School Band Boosters, the event builds on ongoing efforts by many nonprofits in the county to support sustainable farms, environmental preservation, and “100 percent organically-grown, local music talent in our schools.” All proceeds from this successful event will go to' support Rappahannock school music programs. In an interview after the Festival, co-organizer Amy Silver reported; “We were extremely happy with the great turnout, the fantastic exhibits, and the terrific music. Several of the nonprofit groups exhibiting reported that by the end of the day they had recruited a number of new volunteers. We're still counting the receipts, but we think the music programs benefiting from the festival will be pleased with the outcome." Among the events that attracted CONDEMNED TO DUNK: RCHS band director Matt Yonkey awaits a moist fate. large crowds to Spenyville throughout , the afternoon and early evening were such activities as mountain climbing on a fake but steep mountain, formation on the lawn, dunking the teachers (including the principal and band director of the high school), “cow pie bingo,” and “Missie the International Champion Jumping Mule.” Of special interest to the adults— as well as many young people—were educational exhibits that showed how sustainable agriculture and energy conservation can work in our area. Among these were a demonstration of how solar energy works in a residence; the hands-on Farm-to-Tkble Program sponsored by Headwaters for the Rappahannock County Public Schools; model sustainable agriculture and forestry farming on Mount Vernon Farm; raising, training, and showing llamas for fun and profit; and lead sponsor Sunnyside’s efforts “to create certified organic, high quality tasty, nutritionally-rich food while promoting a healthy ecosystem and biodiversity.” Instrumental and Singing Talent Music, of course, was the principal draw of the event. And music there was—from country-western to popular, to band, to blues, and traditional folk music. There were local- groups such as Brian Taylor and Hollowbound. Taylor is a Rappahannock County High School graduate and the group are devotees of original bluegrass. Aplus with its unique mixture of original heartfelt songs by Alice Reeve and Tbm Guidice; ''the Walnut Ridge Boys; Tbuch of Gr§yBand with Debbie Zinn; and the Rappahannock County High School Band and its popular new Jazz Ensemble were also among the local talent.. FESTIVAL FEASTING: Sunnyside's Jonathan Partin and Tamara Waldo serve up BBQ to Bob and Marti Lander. The evening program included headliner:* “Catfish Hodge” and “Eddie from Ohio” who played to a full tent of , appreciative fans. Catfish Hodge lived up to his reputation as an “American folk blues hero” as he belted out song after song about love and life, including one catchy original time about his “sweet honey dumpling who is a queen—queen of cuisine.” Eddie from Ohio and his group of talented singers i£nd instrumentalists closed the evening with music that exhibited flair and rhythm and the stunning voice of Julie Murphy. In summing up what made the event the success it was, Tamara ' Waldo of Sunnyside praised all those patrons and sponsors that joined with Sunnyside to make the event a reality. Among these sponsors were CFC Farm & Home Center; Headwaters; Howie Swaim of Armfield, Miller and Ripley; Over Jordan Farm; and Settles Cars & Trucks.

www.timescommunity.com In Appreciation: Ki Theatre’s ‘Stories Run Through Us’ close out a stellar season By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Ki Theatre finished its spring season on Saturday with “Stories Run Through Us.” An enthusiastic audience was treated to an except tional evening of original and beautifully acted story telling. As in the earlier show last month, this production also played to a full-house—a real tribute to the 15 actors, three directors, and four lighting and stage technicians who all came together to produce the four oneact plays. Several aspects of the play distinguished it from the earlier production. All the writers and directors who came together to produce this compelling and entertaining ivening of theatre are from Rappahannock County (except for one urn Charlottesville). The tour one Photos by Richard Lykes Left: Laura Wheatley had a starring role in “Starsong” Right: Lou stars in “My Sister's Hair" act plays are based on stories written by home-grown talent, inspired by Life Stories Workshops—a series of seminars taught by Julie Portman to help people of all backgrounds and ages write and share their own Stories. Another engaging aspect of the piece was tnai, in aaauion 10 uie seasoneu actors who have performed in past . Ki Theatre productions, a num- M uei ui uuiuiB appctucu uu uic Ki stage for the first time, including several young actors and children who acted in the various vignettes that make up the j four vignettes in “Stories f < Run Through Us.” Insight into the 4^ creative process # < Patty Hardee, the artistic director for the ^ overall production—as W, weU as director for two of j the short plays—described m the creative process that fe* resulted in this well- w received stage production: 1 “From the beginning, the ® play was planned to be a col laboration, an ensemble of writers, actors, directors, crew, all working together to bring writers’ stories to the stage. Both the writers and the actors improved and improvised upon the original script as they went along. It was thrilling to see the pieces fall into place—not just the big components like lighting which were superb, but the indik vidual moments when an actor clicks m with his/her character or the relationship with another character is hnally made clear. The process is filled with ‘Aha! moments.’” Another perceptive insight into the tiallenges and excitement of transforming a script into a finished play comes from veteran actor and storyteller, Joyce Abell, who has both acted in and directed a number of productions for Ki Theatre over the years. “When you take a little story, work together—author and director, to shape it into a play, you j both learn so much about what makes this particular play unique, about how to create dialogue that sounds real, about how to balance the various parts of the play, how to create a peak moment and end with its resolution. Lord, there are a million ways to get it wrong and a mad scramble to find solutions!” Abell continued offering these observations. “When you direct actors, some of whom have never been on stage before and who must now find a way to burrow deep into the characters they are playing, learn how to project their voices so the audience can hear, how to move their bodies i without self-consciousness, and then help them to sense the play as a living whole—a play that is trying to tell us See THEATRE, Page B7 Adam Rhein played Justin in “The Medicine of Belief . *k»w, ""** ■ Photos courtesy o( Middle Street Gallery “Noon Melodies” Eunice Wenger Artists speak By Janet Brome Special to the Rappahannock News The Middle Street Gallery in Washington, VA is presenting a special program for art patrons, “Artists Speak.” Three area artists talk about their work in an informal setting at the opening reception of the show.

Brome fives in Limeton, just south of Front Royal. For this show she has focused on wire drawings and wire screen creations. The shadows cast by these works are an important part of the images.

Kid Pan Alley-Nashville CD wins Parent’s Choice Gold Award Nashville, TN- Washington, VA - With songs ranging from “Little Drop of Water” to “Stinky Socks” to “Download it all for Free,” the Kid Pan Alley- Nashville CD was awarded one of only six 2005 Parents’ Choice Gold Awards in Music from the Parents' Choice Kid Pan Alley - Nashville CD Foundation. A joint project of Ki Theatre’s Kid Pan Alley Project of Washington, VA and the Nashville Chamber Orchestra, the CD features performances from some of Nashville’s top recording artists including Delbert McClinton, Amy Grant, Kix Brooks, Suzy Bogguss, the Nashville Bluegrass Band, and Raul Malo singing songs co-written with the children of Nashville. The Kid Pan Alley-Nashville CD is the culmination of the Nashville Chamber Orchestra’s and Kid Pan Alley’s year long interactive Kid Pan Alley project in partnership with Metro Nashville Public Schools. Created by acclaimed songwriter/teacher Paul Reisler, Pan Alley is a unique program that brings the process of writing, arranging and recording songs into the classroom. In the course of a year, nearly 40 songs were written with over 800 Nashville students. During these sessions the children, led by Paul Reisler and some of Nashville’s most renowned songwriters, created their own song with lyrics and music — originating with the concept of the song themselves. Songwriters returned to the classrooms with members of the NCO working with the students to create the songs’ instrumental arrangements. Each of the participating students received a “demo” of their song, while 18 of the songs were selected for further arranging and performance by the NCO and celebrity artists on the award winning Kid Pan AlleyNashville CD. The Parents' Choice Annual Awards are the nationally coveted awards judged as the highest quality, most appealing products in their genre in all fields of children's media. Criteria for judgments include the highest production standards, universal human values and a unique, individual quality that pushes the product a notch above others. “The Parent’s Choice Awards have become the Oscars of children’s products,” stated Connie Linsler Valentine, Executive Director ol the Nashville Chamber Orchestra. ‘We are extremely excited by this honor, and proud foi the orchestra, but mostly for the childrer whose creativity is recognized through this award. We applaud and extend our gratitude Paul Reisler to the many artists who shared their talents to provide this unique and important experience for the students of Nashville.” In the “Music Without Boundaries” style qf the Chamber Orchestra, the CD features a diverse mix of songs -- from Pop, R&B, Reggae, Country and Classical to Blues, Rock, MotowiJ, Bluegrass and Dixieland Jazz — that celebrate the creative voices of Nashville’s children and the unique community they belong to. With support from area studios, the NCO professionally recorded the songs with celebrity artists. * The CD was produced by NCO Musvc Director Paul Gambill, Kid Pan Alley founder : See CD, Page B<2

Upcoming Events Preview Gazebo Gatherings Paul Reisler Paul Reisler, co-founder of the music ensemble TYapezoid, is a composer, songwriter, performer, recording artist and community builder. He is the founder and Artistic Director of the Kid Pan Alley™ children’s songwriting project — a program joining the songwriting of children with the work of professional musicians. He teaches Songwriting Workshops throughout the country for both children and adults. Paul has performed in more than 3,000 concerts, workshops and festivals worldwide. Paul has recorded and produced eight albums with Trapezoid as well as Birth of a River, a duo album of original instrumentals with Bobby Read of the Bruce Hornsby Band. He has also recorded more than two dozen albums with other artists including John McCutcheon, Sally Rogers, Holly Near and Si Kahn. He teaches songwriting at workshops and schools all over the country, including two residencies in the Warren County Public School System. He has taught on the song school faculties of the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival, Swannanoa Gathering, N.S.A.I., Kerrville Folk Festival, Augusta Workshop, Nashcamp, Common Ground, Songcamp in the Mountains and Southern Utah Song School. He’s currently writing books on melody writing for songwriters and open tunings for guitar. He writes for “Performing Songwriter” Magazine and “Acoustic Guitar.” Amy Speace Amy Speace, an awardwinning singer/songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist, makes a special appearance with Paul at this concert. A “Baltimore-born-Manhattan-transplant”, Speace’s music lies where folk, country, pop and rock meet. With the storytelling of Dar Williams, the rootsy grit of Kim Richey, the range of Joni Mitchell and the pop sensibilities of a girl who grew up on 80s college radio, Amy Speace’s voice is reaching audiences of all ages. Spunky, daring, and bittersweet, this self-described “twangirr is just getting started. Amy has won widespread praise while touring the US from coast to coast, and picked up songwriting awards from the USA Songwriting Competition and the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Blending elements of the early country and gospel music she grew up on with her years of strict music training and an indie rock-folk sensibility honed by her stint as a college radio disc jockey, Amy’s “storysongs” paint an Americana portrait with a sassy urban edge and a hooky sensibility.

News from Lord Fairfax Community College MIDDLETOWN, Va. - After reopening course offerings in Page County during the 2004-05 academic year and teaching a total of 15 classes at Luray High School, Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC) will expand its academic offerings to the residents of Page County with the opening of the Page County Center, an LFCC outreach site, this fall. “As Page County and the region experiences a renaissance, it is imperative LFCC works closely with the residents and leaders within the Tbwn of Luray and Page County to offer the credit and non-credit education and training programs and services needed by residents and employers,” said John J. “Ski” Sygielski, LFCC president. “The leadership and financial support of community members in Page County and the Tbwn of Luray have been an essential component in the development of the Center. We are pleased to be partnering with the visionary leadership within Page County and the Town of Luray in the planning and construction of this new LFCC Center.” Center costs The Luray Town. Council and the Page County Board of Supervisors each appropriated $120,000 to construct, equip and offset the costs of the Center. In addition to these funds, LFCC has committed funds to purchase furniture and state-of-the-art computer technology for the Center, including distance learning equipment that will enable students at the Page County Center to benefit from resources and classes available on LFCC’s two main campuses. Baughan and Baukhages, architects in Luray, developed the site building plans. “We have met with educational leaders in the county and surveyed the community to develop a comprehensive program to respond to student interests,” said Gail Price, director of the Page County Center. “Through the classes to be offered at the Center, individuals can fulfill the majority of courses for many certificate and degree programs offered at LFCC, with the convenience of taking classes right here in Page County.” Located at 320 North Hawksbill Street in Luray and close to downtown and Route 211, the new Page County Center is part of a 122,000t square-foot commerce and education facility. LFCC’s Center will contain two general classrooms, one distance learning classroom and one computer lab. In addition, the Center will have faculty offices and a stu dent lobby. “We are so excited about the Page CQunty Center and the fact that the community is helping us build it,” Price said. “The Center will definitely enhance the educational opportunities available to the community, not only for Page County residents but for individuals in nearby Rappahannock, Shenandoah and Warren counties.” Twenty-one classes are scheduled to be offered for the fall 2005 semester. Course offerings will include classes in the following subject areas: Accounting, Administration of Justice, Art, Business Management and Administration, Economics, English, History, Information Technology Essentials, Mathematics, Philosophy, Psychology, Religion and Spanish » For more information about courses offered at the Page County Center or to register for classes, interested individuals may contact the LFCC Office of Student Success at 1-800-906-LFCC, ext. 7110 or visit www.lfcc.edu. LFCC Signs Guaranteed Admissions Agreement with Longwood University MIDDLETOWN, Va. - Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC) recently signed a guaranteed admissions agreement with Longwood University, making it easier for LFCC graduates to smoothly transition to the four-year university located in Farmville, Va. The agreement states that LFCC graduates who earn an associate in arts and sciences degree with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher will be guaranteed admission to Longwood University. This guaranteed admissions agreement adds to the articulation agreement that guarantees that LFCC graduates transferring to Longwood will have junior status, that all of their credits will transfer (although not all may apply toward their degree) and that all of their lower-division general education goals (except foreign language) will be met. The agreement will go into effect beginning with students applying to Longwood for the spring 2006 semester. The application deadline for the spring semester is October 15. Patricia P. Cormier, Longwood president, praised the quality of LFCC’s graduates and noted that “associate in arts and science degree holders have graduated from Longwood above the 80 percent rate with little to no change in their grade point averages.”

A visit from Rocky: Scared half to death My wife's piercing, primal scream sent chills down my spine. It was last Thursday, and we had gone to the cabin to dut the grass and check on things. I was inside and she was outside. I almost took the screen door off its hinges getting out there. Keep this in mind. My wife is not faint hearted. She is not squeam^h. She was raised on a farm, killed chickens by wringing their necks and has seen more bears, copperheads and rattlesnakes than any woman I know. The lady builds rock fences. And she has spent many, many nights in the Blue Ridge with me. So, when I heard her scream, I knew it was not a mouse or a bug or a ringneck snake. I was scared. I rounded the comer of the Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com cabin, fearing the worst, not knowing what to expect. She was standing there with her hands up in front of her, palms out, eyes wide, visibly shaken. I didn’t see anything. “What’s wrong?” She didn’t speak. She pointed down towards the front of the yard. There, trotting along at a strange, gimpy pace, was a half grown raccoon. Its tail looked broken and its backsides looked like it might have had mange. “Did it bite you? Did you touch it?” “No,” she managed. I keep several sturdy walking staffs beside the cabin. I grabbed the strongest looking one, and took off after the varmint. He was over the rock wall and into the thick underbrush before I could get there. He was making a chattering noise and seemed satisfied to keep traveling away from the cabin. I was satisfied to let him goLinda had been at the end of the cabin, putting some fertilizer or something in a sprayer, when the raccoon came around the comer of the cabin. He came straight at her, and he kept on coming. She apparently backed up several feet when she screamed, and the raccoon went right on by, never changing his course. We know that, within their territory, black bears travel the same paths many times, often putting their feet in the same spots, over , and over again. Perhaps smaller mammals do the same thing. This one may have been injured in a fight. I don’t even want to think about rabies. ' All I know is that my wife was in the path this, raccoon wanted to travel, aijd she is the one that moved out of the way. No harm. No foul. Later that day, we got a glimpse of a scarlet tanager behind the cabin, near the river. All is well again. Gifts and talents Each of us has our Own special gifts and talents. There is little profundity in that statement. But, as Barbara Jamieson reminded me a couple of weeks ago, the impact that each one of us can make* in this life is in how we choose to apply these gifts and talents. I believe that can be profound. We live right next to the Flint Hill fire hall. I am impressed, on almost a daily basis, with the amount of effort that is required to make a volunteer fire and rescue organization function. I am certain it is that way in each of the county communities where these organizations exist. The gifts that these volunteers give to the people in their communities, gifts of talent and time and dedication and hard work, must not go underestimated or under appreciated. And I do not mean to imply that they have. But those of us who would make lousy firefighters, EMTs, organizers or administrators, must stand ready to play whatever role we can to provide the support these folks need to help us when we most need their help. Whether it is baking a cake, helping at the carnival, buying raffle tickets or just digging a little deeper when asked, if we do our part, we may be able to continue to be the beneficiaries of the talents and gifts of those very special people who are the volunteers who staff our fire and rescue organizations. When I first started writing this column, and wondering what I could possibly write about that people would want to read, the first thing my bride suggested was that somehow I use this venue to recognize and thank those individuals. I hope these few words can be a start in that direction. Until next time, stay well, and always remember to yield the right of way to Rocky Raccoon.

Don’t ever forget our leaders in your prayers, it is a command. Recipes for July 4th celebration The nation’s birthday is a day of realization, fun in the sun, and fireworks. You’ve probably called family and friends over so that everyone can enjoy the weather, the company and especially the food. One of the main traditions on the July 4th is to throw a .barbecue, but why not let’s go one step further? Get in the spirit, it is your nation’s birthday. Let’s bake a cake and fix a Independence Day Fruit salad. Here are the two recipes, they are quick and easy. Flag cake Remember nothing says “Happy Birthday” like a cake. For the cake: 3/4 cup of butter 2 cups granulated sugar 2 cups flour 2/3 cup cocoa Washington I Jan Clatterbuck I 675-3338 jclatterbuck@ tjmespapers.com 1 1/4 cups baking soda 1/4 cup baking powder 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 eggs 1 tsp salt 1 1/3 cups water For the vanilla butter cream frosting: 3 cups confectioner’s sugar 1/3 cup softened butter 2 tbsp milk 1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract For the topping: 1/2 pint blueberries 1 quart small strawberries Preheat the oven to 350 . Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan. Combine the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat the mixture for about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Intermittently add water. Continue mixing until everything is combined, but remember do not continue mixing after the ingredients are blended. Pour in the baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes until done. Let it cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack ( place the cake on a foil-covered cardboard.. Make frosting. Mix ingredients for the frosting until you get a smooth, spreading consistency. Frost the cake with vanilla butter cream frosting. Arrange the blueberries in the upper left comer of the cake, covering about 1/4 of the cake. Arrange the strawberries in rows for the red stripes. Independence Day Fruit Salad 1 package, approx. 10 oz. of blueberries 1 package, approximately 10 oz. of red seedless grapes or strawberries if you desire. 1- 8 oz. container of fat-free sour cream, sugar to taste. Wash the fruit, pat dry, mix together. Fold the fruit into the sour cream and add sugar to taste. Chill for a few hours before serving. They both are easy to make and in the spirit of July 4th. What more could we ask for? For those of you who haven’t had lunch at the Bleu Rock Inn (yes, they’re open for lunch now), you’re in for a treat. If one of Jim’s tasty salads doesn’t suit your palate then try one of his Southwestern dishes. The chicken tamales are delicious and prepared the way they should be - steamed inside a corn husk. But, for- a real treat, Jim is preparing chili' rellenos this week. Chili Rellenos are a large cheese stuffed green pepper that is lightly battered. Stop by today, tomorrow or Saturday. They won’t be on the menu as Jim is preparing them as a “speciality.” “I just enjoy making them so hopefully the word will get out and folks will give them a try,” added McCullough. Readers, enjoy this beautiful poem for July 4 by Judith A. Lindberg Liberty Here in the harbor, made famous by her very existence, Stands a lady, polished by a new American pride. And her name is Liberty. She holds a torch ignited by the flame of love, And from her raised hand and her gentle eyes She offers a blessing of reassurance With silent lips: “Give me your weary, your dreamless, your hopeless, Those who have lost faith in themselves and our country. Send these, the embittered, to me. I am living proof of what a nation of people can do, When they believe, when they commit, when they join hearts. I lift my torch beside the door that remains open, A golden opportunity for all who enter, when the hope is peace and the reason is freedom for all.” Happy Independence Day readers! When the Town of Washington was young In 1835 the following article appeared in a Charlottesville publication. Washington, P. V. (Postal "Village) and seat of justice, 118 Z miles from Richmond and 81 'miles S.W. of W.C. (Washing* ton City). It is situated at the " southeastern foot of the Blue * Ridge in a fertile country, upon V one of the head branches of the Rappahannock River (called Rush River) and recently chosen as the seat of justice for the county. It was formerly a PO. (post office) in Culpeper County. It contains besides the usual county buildings, (lately erected) 1 academy, 55 dwelling houses, 4 mercantile stores, 2 taverns, 1 house of public worship, free for all denominations. The principal mechanics are 4 blacksmiths, 4 carpenters, 2 saddlers, 1 hatter, 1 tanner, 2 wagon makers, 3 tailors, 4 shoemakers, 1 cabinet maker, 1 silversmith, 3 milliners, 1 plasterer and bricklayer. In the vicinity there is a large and highly respectable female seminary, in which are taught all the various branch es of English Literature, together with the French and Italian languages; and in the immediate neighborhood, are two large and extensive manufacturing flour mills. This village is rapidly improving and is in a flourishing and prosperous condition, being situated in a thickly settled and enterprising neighborhood. Population 350 persons; of whom, 4 are attorneys, and 2 regular physicians. County Courts are held on the 1st Monday in every month, quarterly in March, June, September and November and Judge Field holds his Circuit Superior Court of law and Chancery on the 22nd of April and September. Moving forward Now let’s move ahead to around 1950 when a now deceased native recalled the town included 9 tourist homes, 4 filling stations, 2 restaurants and 1 hotel. These were all located within the town limits. She also made note that when there was an overflow of tourists many of the other residents opened their homes to them. I recall these busy days when it would take you 15 minutes to cross the intersection of Main and Middle Streets every weekend from May through October. There was also a taxi that maybe someone can recall who owned it. We also had a Trailways bus stop at the Jenkins filling station. Prior to Mr. Walker Jenkins securing the Trailways franchise for us he had a personal bus that he acquired in the teens that cp~ried folks to Front Royal and Histories & Mysteries Fran Eldred Culpeper. When I hear people wax eloquent of their desire to take the town back to what it WAS, I would like to know which WAS they are referring to. Sandwiches for sale, not guns at Mayhughs in Amissville By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer Back in 1983, David Mayhughs opened a store in Amissville, in a former gun shop that closed its doors after a fire. One of four regional stores carrying the family name, Rappahannock’s Mayhughs store carries the essentials one would expect at any convenience store. Yet both the store and its staff give it a certain indefinable extra something, that gives it a friendly, comfortable character all its own- a feeling of ;home that you just can’t find at your typical chain store. The character comes from ‘.all the little things that set the place apart and make it unique. As you drive up, you see the’ faint lettering on the roof, saying “GUNS,” although it’s been more than twenty years since you could buy a gun there. The food, too, isn’t quite like anywhere else.. Lots of stores have sandwiches, for instance, and a very few.even fry up eggs for breakfast sandwiches but how many have freshly made deviled eggs? And year after year, since their second year in business, Etta Call’s familiar face has greeted customers. giving a sense of permanence, and comforting familiarity., That is, she’s there when she isn’t up the road at Muskrat Haven, the family farm. Manager Lisa Dollins, who has been at Mayhughs for eight years, takes pride in being very particular about cleanliness. Customers comment on it regularly. Lately, Dollins tells us, their deli breakfast and lunch business has been really picking up since they began frying up the eggs fresh in the morning a few months back. The sand wiches are good. Mayhughs is open 5 a m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, 6-10 on Saturday and 7-10 Sunday.

Wastewater treatment seeps into the news again This is the first in a series of articles by Don Audette exploring the charactertisics and challenges of wastewaterv treatment systems By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News This is a delicate matter. Every day, water and really gross stuff disappears down a drain from your toilet, dishwasher, kitchen sink, shower, bathtub, automatic dishwasher, bathroom sink, garbage disposal, etc., vanishing as if by magic. It goes away, never to be seen again. Where it goes is called a wastewater treatment system, which treats the filthy mess and disperses it. There are two kinds. The wastewater trade calls them “centralized” and “onsite/ decentralized” systems. The centralized ones are for cities, towns, densely populated counties, and major subdivisions. They involve large sewer pipes that carry wastewater far away from a home or business to a managed wastewater treatment plant where effluent (treated wastewater) is usually dispersed by discharging it into a river. The other kind, the “onsite/ decentralized” systems, treat and disperse wastewater locally, right in your back yard, or, if you are part of a small clustered development, close by. Take Clevenger’s Corner along Route 211 near Rappahannock County as an example of a centralized system. The managed wastewater treatment plant for this large development in Culpeper County is being designed to discharge up to 600.000 gallons per day of treated effluent into the Rappahannock River. Is there a way to visualize this amount? A gasoline tanker truck, refilling a gas station, holds about 10,000 gallons. Visualize 60 truckfulls. Longlea, right next to Rappahannock County on Route 522 and zoned by Culpeper County for 1,000 homes, a conference center, and commercial development, is in the news lately. A request for a use permit to build a managed wastewater treatment plant to discharge up to 450,000 gallons per day of effluent into the Hazel River has been tabled by Culpeper County’s Board of Supervisors until September. 45 truckfulls. A Big Dog, the Fairfax County Wastewater Treatment Facility, has 3,200 miles of sewer pipe. This managed system processes 100 millions gallons of wastewater each day, discharging it eventually into the Potomac River. 10,000 truckfulls. In Sperryville, Rappahannock County’s only publicly managed wastewater treatment plant has a permit to discharge up to 150.000 gallons per day of effluent into the Thornton River, but the current discharge is about 75,000 gallons. 7,f> truckfulls. The key word here is “managed.” Centralized systems involve people on pay It’s a girl! Mr. and Mrs. Keith Gore and Madeline of Chesterfield, Va. are proud to announce the birth of their daughter and sister, Susanna Christina Gore. Susanna was bom on June 6. She weighed 8 lbs. 4 ounces. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gore of Sperryville and Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Przybylek of Saxton Pa. Needs a ride Rappahannock County . Social Services is in need of a ' vehicle.

They design, construct, operate, and maintain such facilities to meet Virginia wastewater treat^ ment performance requirements. They involve people who have been trained, tested, and certified or licensed, and who monitor the performance of the system. Centralized systems cost big bucks. The homeowner or business pays a significant “connection” or “tap” fee to hook up to them. Customers also pay a monthly or quarterly usage fee. Onsite/Decentralized Versus Centralized Wastewater Treatment Now we come to the second kind of wastewater treatment facility, the “onsite/ decentralized” systems. The basic form is the traditional septic tank and its drainage field, handling about 300 gallons of wastewater per day. It is a passive system, no moving parts. It just sits there underground, doing its thing. Flush the toilet and the stuff does not travel miles away via sewer pipes to be treated. Everything happens in your backyard, including the dispersal of the effluent. Usually, liquid from the septic tank drains downward into your property via an underground drainage system, to seep through the soil, called an absorption field, to be cleansed. All that is called primary treatment. But over the last 25 years there has been a movement to add secondary, even tertiary, treatment capabilities to some septic tanks. They make use of units with a mix of pumps, filters, alarms, stirrers, drip or spray units, disinfection units, chemicals, etc. Called alternative or innovative , treatment devices, their purpose is to further cleanse effluent. These units can be used for the remediation of failed or failing septic systems. EPA estimates that between 10-20 percent of septic systems in the U.S., fall into that category, and are threatening to contaminate groundwater. They also can be used on smaller lots, on rocky soil, or on so-called “unbuildable lots.” Or they can be used for clustered homes and/or businesses, where they are called “packaged” wastewater treatment plants. But alternative/innovative units are not amenable for use everywhere. In some units, the cleansed effluent results in surface discharge onto the ground or into nearby surface water, and some manufacturers claim the effluent emerging from their equip? ment is so pure that it is drinkable. The Town of Washington is looking into a “packaged” wastewater treatment plant, with surface discharge into the Rush River. In environmentally sensitive areas, though, surface discharge is questionable. The Chester Gap Special Exception Request The request for a special exception for an onsite/ decentralized wastewater treatment system by a landowner in Chester Gap involves a secondary treatment unit with surface discharge. It is for a new home* and not for remediation of a failed or failing septic system of an existing home. This is something new for Rappahannock County^ a precedent-setting situation. The request is to come before the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors on July 6. As in centralized systems, the key word with onsite/ decentralized systems is “management.” Currently, the manager of a traditional septic system is the homeowner or business owner. They pump out the septic tank • every three to five years.

And this is a delicate matter. Take a Break: A Little History The idea of a septic system goes back to 1881, when it was developed by a Frenchman. In a tank, he had “observed that part of the feces went from the solid state to the liquid state when the wastewater from toilets and sinks was allowed to remain in a watertight container.” Supposedly, the local parish priest was so impressed by this discovery that he built a septic tank with a glass wall in his church so he could watch this action. His observations intrigued both the scientific community as well as his parishioners, who were undoubtedly appalled. Thq idea spread, was patented by a British inventor in 1897, but did not catch on big in the United States until the early 1900s. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Home Survey of 2003, there are now almost 106 million occupied homes in the United States. Some 84 million are hooked up to a public sewer plant, a centralized system. But close to 22 million make use of septic tanks, cesspools, and chemical toilets, e.g., onsite/decentralized systems. In correspondence with Mr.Anish Jantrania of the Division of Onsite Sewage and Water Services, within the Office of Environmental Health Services, of the Virginia Department of Health, it was estimated that there were^bout 3,300 onsite systems in Rappahan pock County in 2000. No one knows for sure exactly how many failed or failing septic systems are in Rappahannock County. There are also failed or failing systems in the Town of Washington; the main reason the Town is seeking a “packaged” wastewater treatment plant. “Whose Your Daddy?” State and local regulations for traditional septic systems are up-front. Does the soil perc? Is the drainage field away from groundwater? Is it away from natural or manmade surface water? Once in, there are no inspections or monitoring unless there is a request, a complaint, or a transfer of property. Now comes the wide variety of alternative and innovative treatment units, with their hydraulic and electrical parts, plus other components needing monitoring and maintenance. Everyone is covering themselves legally: the builder; examiner of soil; manufacturer; installer; homeowner or business owner; inspector; parts supplier of mechanical and electrical components; the person or company in charge of maintenance and monitoring; federal, state, and local regulators, etc. When something goes wrong, who is in charge? Who is responsible? The wastewater trade and government have come up with the answer: the Responsible Management Entity (RME). Where do. you find one? This is the most delicate matter of all.

Photos courtesy of Sharron Proper Sharron Proper deftly removed two black snakes from the DeBergh’s property in Washington to a nearby stone fence. Two black snakes paid the DeBergh’s a visit Beth DeBergh from Harris Hollow in Washington was prompted to give fellow resident Sharron Proper a call recently. Her request might seem a little unusual but not for Proper. DeBergh needed to have two black snakes removed. They had decided to take up residence near the DeBergh’s doorstep. Beth DeBergh told Sharron Proper that her husband didn’t care for snakes but Beth didn’t want them killed - just removed to a stone wall away from their house but still on their property. For Proper, it was no problem and the snakes didn’t mind a bit. “Wilbur Raised by Samantha Falls Photo by Daniel Mdssie Photo by Linda Dodson “Peanut” Raised by Amber Dodson Promoting agriculture through our children By Timmy Jenkins, Samantha Falls, and Amber Dodson Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock 4-H Livestock Club is a group of individuals ranging from ages nine to 18. These youth each have projects, either beef,- swine, sheep, or goats. In April, Feeser Genetics of Maryland invited us to purchase our hog projects and tour their facilities. We raised some animals from the beginning of the year until a sale at the July Farm Fair in Culpeper where they are also shown and judged on conformation and quality. The profit from the sale of these animals usually goes to college or to help support another project the following year. This year there are eight of us raising projects. We all have at least one swine project and others also have beef and goat projects. We are all preparing diligently for the fair, bonding with pigs, steers, and goats to improve willingness to perform and respond to commands. This year we have had great success with the club from gainr ing new members to fund these raising projects. Our raffle fund raising technique has worked in the past and is still working this year; we have lately been selling tickets at the Rappahannock CO-OP on Saturdays and at the Rivers and Roots Festival at SunnySide Farm’s Market in Sperryville. These fund raising events help us to take field trips and do other club oriented activities. Some events we have participated in this year are a Swine weekend at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, where members learned about breeding, raising and other useful information about hogs. They also took part in a quiz bowl and came in third place. Atrip to the Culpeper COOFs feed mill was also taken, where we learned how our feed was processed, where it came from, and how it got to our farms. The Culpfeper-Madison-Rappahannock Farm Fair will be held July 5-9 at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises. Our club members will be showing their Market Hogs on Tuesday, July 5 at 7 pm and Steers on Thursday, July 7 at 6:30 pm. The sale of our projects will be held on Friday, July 8th at 7:00pm. Inti rested buyers are welcome to join us and support the future of farming in Rappahannock. A dinner will be held at 5 pm that evening for all Livestock Buyers. Livestock will be sold in the order of goats, beef cattle, dairy beef cattle, lambs, and hogs. If you are willing to make a donation to our club we would be very appreciative, we are still selling raffle tickets and will be doing so throughout the Farm Fair, also located at the Culpeper Enterprises, from July 5th to the 9th. We invite everyone to join us at the CulpeperMadison-Rappahannock County Farm Fair and enjoy our projects, and numerous exciting activities, such as puppet shows and pet contests taking place on Saturday, July 9th. If interested in becoming a member of the Rappahannock County Livestock Club we welcome new interest and ask you to please contact the Extension Office in Little Washington.

The children met a real llama with silky soft hair and an easy disposition. The llama who charmed the children— “Hercules”—is only 11 months old. He belongs to Gwen Hays and Clyde Humphreys at West Wind Farm in Castleton. The young and very patient animal is a favorite “show” llama at events around the county and has been well trained to be people friendly. In issuing the library’s announcement, youngsters were invited by the children’s librarian, Cindy Arbelbide, to wear their “wildest PJs, slippers and bathrobes.” In addition to the live llama, there was an appearance of bigger-thanlife sized book characters, including “Mouse” (from “When you Give a Mouse a Cookie,” and “Clifford, the Big Red Dog.” The next Summer Reading event at the library will be held on the evening of July 8 at 5:00 p.m. with teens invited to a special balloon art class, followed by a Magic 4 U performance at 7:00 for all ages. Children attending the llama/pajama party were: Peyton and Stuart Bailey, Josh and Natalie Bosch, Elizabeth Cha, Carie, DaHan, Garrett and Mazie Clark, Anthony, Dominque, and Juliet DelGrosso, Kodi Grant, Carol and MiKayla Johnson, Taesha Plonka, Caleo and Mason Rainey, Kayla Robey, Ethan Sabol and Casey Woodward.

Theatre From Page B1 something about life, oh, we all learn so much! Synopsis of four vignettes in play Jane Coon of Woodville and Washington, DC, a retired US diplomat and ambassador in her own right, wrote the first one-act play entitled “ShippingNSeamen” that recounts how she overcame the doubts and restrictions of a male culture as a young woman in the foreign service in Bombay. Miranda Hope, the new drama teacher at Rappahannock County High School, played the starring role of a young foreign service officer posted in Bombay in the 1950s, joined by Veronique Pelletier, Paula Henry, Bill Dobrovir, Sara Scene from “ShippingNSeamen" Dodd-Henze, Bruce Sloane, and Frank Murray. Joyce Abell directed this first oneact play. In “The Medicine of Belief,” author Melanie Kopjanski explores a young boy’s compelling quest for spiritual identity through dreams of his father and an encounter with an Indian reservation medicine man. In this play, the actors included Adam Rhein in the starring role of Jiistin, Frank Murray, Dana Dwyer, Bruce Sloane, and Patty Hardee—also the director. “Starsong,” a play written by RCHS student’ Nicole Espinola, is a haunting and ethereal story that explores the truth of perception over reality through the eyes of a blind girl with a flute. Laura Wheatley, also a Rappaham nock County High School student, eloquently played the starring role in this piece, along with Sara Dodd-Henze, Sharon Kilpatrick, Bruce Sloane, Bill Dobrovir, Maddie Kopjanski, and Frank Murray. The director, Miranda Hope, found ways to make the play both rich and mysterious. Patty Hardee directed the last one-act play, “My Sister’s Hair,” written by Sharon L. Davie of Charlottesville, director of the University of Virginia Women’s Center. In this play, the writer recounts her mother’s and sister’s experiences with breast cancer. Everyone played a unique and starring role in this play, including the older sister, Veronique Pelletier, who appeared for her first time on the Ki stage. Veteran actor and playwright, Joyce Abell, as well as Pat Hamilton— Ki Theatre’s executive director who joined her, added to the complement of talent in this last piece. Behind the scenes Special commendation goes to those sometimesunseen heroes of back stage who choreograph the plays and skillfully produce the dramatic lighting and sound that make the presentation sing. These included Betsy Toth, the lighting director, assisted by Todd Morgan; Scott Kelly, both stage manager and sound coordinator, and publicist Bette Mahoney of Stoneledge Productions. CD From Page B2 books, videos, toys, audios, computer software, television, and magazines. The Foundation's mission is to provide parents with information to participate wisely in their children's learning. Identifying the best products for children of different ages, backgrounds, skills, and interests, the Parents’ Choice Awards are given to products that meet and exceed standards set by educators, scientists, performing artists, librarians, parents, and yes, kids themselves. Kid Pan Alley The national Kid Pan Alley program was founded by songwriter/ performer / educator Paul Reisler of Trapezoid. A project of Ki Theatre, it grew out of a school residency project in rural Rappahannock County, VA where Reisler worked with local kids co-writing in the classroom. The 50-plus songs were funny, touching, goofy, gross and so enchanting that Reisler asked a number of the county's musicians—many of them nationally and internationally known—to each choose and record a song in their own style. The recording, Tidal Wave of Song, is an example of how power of song can inspire the true spirit of community. Now, Kid Pan Alley is spreading to communities throughout the country, with the Nashville Chamber Orchestra the first to partner with Kid Pan Alley for an ongoing series, the first of which culminating with the Kid Pan Alley-Nashville recording.
