Lantern Lane owner Debbie Craig Lantern Lane unveils new look, new stable Dressage training plus plush digs cater to horsemen By Betsy Parker Rappahannock News Staff Writer Call it evolution. Embracing the old while welcoming the new, Debbie and Walter Craig recently unveiled a fully modernized version of their historic Lantern Lane Farm: the Rappahannock County couple stands ready to welcome dressage riders and adventure travelers to their unique equestrian bed and breakfast for some of Virginia horse country's famous hospitality. The Craigs operated Lantern Lane, just south of Ben Venue on the Rappahannock-Culpeper County border, for years from the 1820s original house and bank bam, even resorting to “using trail rides for my dressage instruction,” said Debbie Craig with laugh, since the farm did not initially have an arena. But “holding an older house together was getting to be difficult,” she added. Thus were sown the seeds for the all-new Lantern Lane. Drawing from 10 years’ experience hosting singles and couples, and larger groups for clinic weekends, in thenhome, the Craigs planned the Lantern Lane accordingly. “Basically, it boils down to the four Rs,” Debbie Craig explained. “Someone coming to a bed and breakfast, spejifically to a horse bed and breakfast, wants to rest, relax, read and ride. “The old place had charm, but the new place will have that, plus a new hot tub,” she added. Antique quilts, tons of pillows, an extensive equestrian library with books and videos, and a pool round out the new Lantern Lane. Though house construction is not yet complete, the new stable is, and the Craigs are open for business as usual. “We steer guests to stay at other nearby B&Bs while we’re finishing the house,” Debbie Craig said. “But our lesson program continues as usual.” Learning-oriented Lantern Lane offers top-level See FARM, Page A2 Photos by Richard Lykes STUNNING: A large white sucker is one of 24 species caught and identified in the Upper Thornton River as part of RappFLOW’s unique study of the diversity of fish and the quality of our watershed.

RappFlow sponsors fish survey of Upper Thornton River By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News As part of an ongoing program to study the streams and watershed of Rappahannock County, RappFLOW recently sponsored a pioneering fish survey of the Upper Thornton River. RappFLOW is a grassroots citizen’s group dedicated to helping preserve, protect, conserve and restore water resources and watersheds in Rappahannock County. According to Bev Hunter, a founding member of RappFLOW, who shepherded this effort, “the informa tion collected is important in understanding our stream populations and diversity, which translates directly into our stream's habitat and health.” The study may also shed further light into the much discussed “fish kills” recently reported in our rivers. The survey, conducted in late May on several stretches of the Upper Thornton River near Sperryville, was noteworthy because it was a coordinated effort between the National See FISH, Page A2 Photograph by Richard Lykes BACKYARD BLASTS: Although some went away to watch much larger fireworks displays, local residents had their own private fireworks around the county.

School Board tends to end-of-year budget items By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News StafT Writer The Rappahannock County School Board met in a special session on the evening of June 29. On the agenda were balancing the books and tying off all the accounting loose ends associated with the close of the school year. Rappahannock Public School Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell opened the meeting, and after the customary directive for all present to join in the Pledge of Allegiance, Chappell asked for a moment of silence in memory of Rappahannock icon Carson Johnson. Chappell then asked the board to make him acting chair, in order to run the meeting in the absence of chairman John W. Mills. The board voted unanimously to do so without quibble. Rappahannock County Public School Finance Director Bonnie Hahn provided the board with materials summarizing the final financial details for the school system, and Chappell ran through the various mundane accounting issues before the board. The board quickly made the routine votes necessary to close out the year. Construction at elementary school Chappell then apprised the board on the current status of ongoing upgrades to the air conditioning and heating system at the elementary school. The roof was opened up on schedule, Monday June 20th, so that cooling units may be anchored directly to structural framing within the building. On Tuesday, June 28, there was an unexpected event. Torrential rains, which pooled in the plastic tarps covering the temporary openings in the roof caused the tarps to burst or leak damaging library books. The damaged books had been stacked in a central location at the instruction of the Lantz Construction Company, who is performing the work on the school. Chappell did not elaborate at this time on what compensation, if any, would eventually be made. But Chappell told the board the contractor had acknowledged responsibility in writing, had spread out the wet books to dry, and had moved the remaining library books well away from the construction zone. Chappell opined that SALLY L. MURRAY, D.O. Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine including Cranial Osteopathy Front Royal 540-635-4100 most of the wet books appear likely to remain usable. Otherwise, Chappell reported the ongoing construction is proceeding according to schedule. Track fund proposal Chappell proposed creating an escrow account of funds earmarked for a new track for the high school. He suggested placing several sums, including unspent revenues from this year's budget, last year's budget, and unanticipated interest savings realized from refinancing existing school debt into this escrow account. All told, these items would provide $376,467, of which the largest portion is some $214,408 in unspent funds from this year's school budget. "If we had this plus the sum (in excess of $50,000) from the Common Ground (Ann Spieker Track Fund), I think we'd have a bundle we could show to the Board of Supervisors,” Chappell said, submitting that if the Board of Supervisors determined that there were sufficient funds, the School Board would be able to officially begin soliciting bids. School Board member Meredith Gorfein (Hampton District) moved to authorize creating this account which was seconded by Stonewall/Hawthorne District board member Kenneth Marlor. The board passed the proposal unanimously. At the close of the meeting, Chappell and all the board members expressed sympathy and condolences to board member Aline Johnson, widow of Carson Johnson.

RappFLOW received a $5,000 grant from the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to test, analyze, and restore the water quality of the Thornton River. The group also has applied for a $50,000 grant from the National Wildlife Foundation to continue their research of the streams and watershed of our county. Initial survey findings In initial findings, Jim Atkinson, chief biologist for the Shenandoah .National Park, reported that the survey found 24 different species of fish in the several sections of the Thornton River surveyed. This number of species is well within the range of expectation for a stream of this size within the upper Rappahannock watershed, according to Atkinson. Atkinson explained. "The fish captured represent between 75 and 85 percent of fish species potentially present with this section of the Thornton River. A different time of year (such as late summer) or a different year, may produce slightly different results in species composition due to the mobility of some fish and their seasonal water temperature and habitat prefer Farm From Page A1 dressage instruction by Craig and an assistant, along with horsemanship lessons, if desired, and guided trail rides. “We’ve got a cross-country course planned, too, and I can bring in a jumping instructor if guests want that.” But, Craig said, dressage is her forte, and FAUQUIER COUNTY' FAIR JuIl, 14-17 $5 per person, $2 porlincj concerts included, rides extra 6209 Old Auburn Poad, Warrenton, VA just off Pt. .29 South DEAMA CARTER Scitupdaq, Ju11| 16, 8:15pm DOUG STONE F r i cJ ci 4, J u 14 15, 8;15pm Pides Puppet Shows Exotic Pettinq Zoo Ponq & Camel Pides Barns Pull Of Animals Pacinq Piqs MASCAR Simulator l awn Mowpr Pacp Battle Of Tlip Bands Tractor Pulls BIup Ribbon Dinner Blupqrass Music Much More! \ cr mcpf ink rmaticn visit iht *f>ksite WWW.toilCJUiGptQip.CPCJ c-r cal 540-370-1659 «-™«.,540-270-9409 a„nmi)) Healthy Processed Beef (no fillers or sugar) Beef sticks (like Slim Jims) Salami/Bolocna Sausages, Hot dogs Beef Jerky Multiple flavors available Grass Feo Meat ♦Contains Omega 3 fatty acids normally found in fish oils, (grain fed meat has little) ♦Conjugated Linoleic acid, Vit E Spring SALE: Hamburger.

How survey was conducted Beginning at Cliff Miller’s Mount Vernon Farm near Sperryville, some nine people, including the professional biologists and the RappFLOW volunteers, gathered in the early morning of May 31 to begin the survey. Their mission was to capture and identify as many fish species as possible to understand the diversity and habitat of Rappahannock streams. The group’s first stop was a nearby farm further downstream off Fletcher Mills Road. A group of RappFLOW volunteers worked with the nets and toted the buckets of fish captured for identification. Loaded down with electrostunning equipment that puts an electric charge into the water to temporarily stun the fish and many buckets for the fish caught, the group took samples in the river for an hour and a half to two hours at each of several sampling sites. The complicated effort required considerable dexterity and quick reflexes. Wading in most guests want instruction in the arena. Bom Debbie Renfro in central Georgia, she grew up “begging my parents for a horse.” That first horse came, at last, when the aspiring horsewoman sold enough blackberries at a roadside stand one summer. From that first pony and the local 4-H riding program, she’s never looked back. Craig attended the University of Georgia and then nearby Meredith Manor School of Horsemanship in West Virginia in 1973-74. Though she started as a “western major,” she made the swap to dressage after watching the Royal Lipizzaners perform at the school. She worked for Bayard Fox outfitters for a year after school, leading pack trips into the Wyoming wilderness, and learned a bit about “horses and hospitality.” She dabbled in reining horses, Arabians, earned a Legion of Merit in western pleasure, and trained hunters. She met future husband Walter Craig, a pony club district commissioner and hunter trainer with an international business consulting background, at a George Morris jumping clinic in the Midwest.

Moreover, although the biologists and the volunteers were all suited with rubber gloves and waste-high boots to protect them from the shock in the electro-charged water, the possibility for shock kept everyone on their toes—literally. RappFLOW research complements and supports the work of another widely acclaimed program that promotes stream quality—the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). This program provides grants to agricultural producers to protect environmentally sensitive land, decrease erosion, restore wildlife habitat, and safeguard ground and surface water. A number of farmers in Rappahannock County, including Cliff Miller and Monira Rifaat, participate in this program by fencing areas near streams to prevent animal runoff and planting riparian buffers to filter streams that are in our watershed. “We will all sink or swim together in protecting our watershed,” Lorinda Bosch, a RappFLOW steering committee member observed in an interview. “Regarding future water protection issues,” she added, “RappFLOW encourages interest and input from all county citizens as it carries out its mission.” Additional information on this and other programs is available on the organizations website, www.rappflow.org. mous Equestrian Hills training facility — three indoors and 150 horses—in Indiana, then moved to Hilltop Farm in Maryland. Having done the “commuter marriage thing,” Debbie Craig said, while her husband consulted businesses in New England, she jumped at the Chance to settle in Virginia’s horse country in 1994. They looked long and hard for the perfect property that combined history, beauty, ride-out, rolling terrain and enough land for paddocks, pastures and an eventual dressage training arena. Walter Craig said, “My kids used to show at the Warrenton and Upperville shows, so I knew the area. We knew Virginia horse country had everything we needed.” They built up clientele at Lantern Lane, advertising upper-level dressage instruction, quality school horses and a relaxing atmosphere. “But it got too big,” Debbie Craig said. “I hated to have a payroll for what was supposed to be a small, personal business.” Last year, they sold the old house and bam and 15 acres, reinvesting the profit in the new house and stable. “We’ve downsized,” she said. When complete, Lantern Lane will feature three suites. Offered are several special overnight and weekend packages that include instruction, lodging, some meals and use of a school horse, or boarding for a personal horse. “That’s another thing we offer,” Debbie Craig added. ‘People can bring their own horses and come and ride out from here. We’ve got tons of trails.” Hunter-jumper riders, foxhunters and pleasure riders can use morning sessions to work on improving flatwork and then take to the trail in the afternoon. “The best part is, it’s all custom,” Debbie Craig said. ‘We can design a riding vacation around exactly what you might want to work on.” Lantern Lane Farm can be reached by calling (540) 9373758, or logging onto www. lantemlanefarm.com.

The dilemma of wastewater treatment management This is the second in a series of articles ■ by Don Audette exploring the characteristics and challenges of wastewater treatment systems By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News Interest in onsite/decentralized wastewater systems has increased lately for a number of reasons. First, these systems are proliferating. With suburban and rural sprawl, conventional septic systems, plus septic systems with secondary treatment, and decentralized “package” wastewater treatment systems are coming into greater use. EPA estimates they now are being used in about one-third of all new housing and commercial development. These systems currently serve 25 percent of the U.S. population. Northern Virginia has ten of thousands of these units. Second, there is a public health issue. Septic systems are viewed as the second greatest threat to the quality of groundwater, the source of the water you drink and bathe in. Half of all septic systems are over 30 years old. Failed and failing systems expose people to typhoid fever, hepatitis A, dysentery, acute gastrointestinal illness, cholera, etc. Third, people abuse these systems. They flush anything and everything down a toilet, or overburden their system, destroying it over time. Replacing a failed or failing septic system can cost the same as the price range of a car, from inexpensive to a luxury model. And fourth, onsite/decentralized wastewater systems are generally hard to regulate. They are on private property. Making sure such systems meet performance requirements and do not fail, thus creating environmental and public health problems, is critical. Looking back at waste Since the late 1970s, ways and means of solving the growing dilemma of what to do with wastewater in suburban and rural areas has proceeded in fits and starts. An interesting article in the Winter 2005 issue of the “Small Flows Quarterly,” summarized the steps taken since the late 1970s; the funding provided, or not provided, by Congress; and the many players involved. One major concern noted in the article is worth quoting, “The regulatory approach will need to change dramatically, with less emphasis an prescriptive oversight [this refers to perc tests, drain field size, safe distances from ground or surface water] and more on watershed impact with oversight of local management entities.” Management options To aid communities in this concern, EPA has provided guidelines for the management of onsite/decentralized wastewater systems. There are five “model programs” from which a county or a town can pick and chose, depending on specific situations. The summaries below describe the complexity of the array of onsite and decentralized systems in use or available to the public and how they might be managed. Each “model program” has considerably more detail in its implementation. Management Model 1: “Homeowner Awareness:” Electricity charges to go up for some county residents By Jed Duvall Special to the Rappahannock News First, the good news. Rappahannock County customers of Allegheny Power will not see a price rise. Not this year. Not next year and not before July 1 of 2007. Now for the bad news. A fuel price surcharge imposed by the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative will mean significant increases for residential users through the summer and fall. The prices of coal and gas used to fire the electric plants are rising along with the world prices of crude oil. The manner in which utilities react to these price pressures differs. Allegheny Power, according to spokesman Allen Staggers, has its prices “We have a long term power sale agreement with our supplier of electricity,” said Staggers. “The higher cost of fuel hurts them,” he added. Some 3,700 households in Rappahannock County are customers of Allegheny Power. The Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, explained Matt Faulconer, Director of Public Relations, has a cap on production and delivery of electricity. Those basic rates, he added, have not changed since 1992. But, Faulconer continued, there is no cap on what the Cooperative labels the “fuel factor”. This fuel factor changes each month for the roughly one thousand members of the Cooperative in Rappahannock County. Figuring an average household use of 1,250 kilowatt hours per month, the fuel factor added just under $8.00 per month in May of 2003. In July of this year, that fuel factor will add $24.06 to the same average bill. Looking ahead, Faulconer warned that “we see a steady increase from now to the end of this year,” A projected increase of just 25 percent, a CO l N T K Y F • L • O • W ■ fc • K G A ROtN OQSES • aorULIES • PEONIES Daylillies Now Blooming! 500 varieties to choose from!

The basic rates for the average household—those that have not changed since 1992 — amount to just under $110 per month. The legislature in Richmond, as Faulconer explained, last year capped those rates through the year 2011. Each utility, he pointed out, has an opportunity to ask for rate hikes twici); once between now and 2007, and a second time during the next four years.

Table H024: Sewage Disposal 1991-2000 Count is from March 2005 Survey by Virginia Department of Health Estimate for 2010 assumes continued 1991-2000 percentage increase rate This model specifies appropriate program elements and activities where treatment systems are owned and operated by individual property owners in areas of low environmental sensitivity. This program is adequate where treatment technologies are limited to conventional systems that require little owner attention. Tb help ensure that timely maintenance is performed, the regulatory authority mails maintenance reminders to owners at appropriate intervals. Management Model 2: "Maintenance Contracts:” Specifies program elements and activities where more complex designs are employed to enhance the capacity of conventional systems to accept and treat wastewater. Because of treatment complexity, contracts with qualified technicians are needed to ensure proper and timely maintenance. Management Model 3: "Operating Permits:” Specifies program elements and activities where sustained performance of treat ment systems is critical to protect public health and water quality. Limited-term operating permits are issued to the owner and are renewable for another term if the owner demonstrates that the system is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the permit. Performancebased designs may be incorporated into programs with management controls at this level. Management Model 4: “Responsible Management Entity (RME) Operation and Maintenance:” Specifies program elements and activities where frequent and highly reliable operation and maintenance of decentralized systems is required to ensure water resource protection in sensitive environments. Under this model, the operating permit is issued to an RME instead of the property owner to provide the needed assurance that the appropriate maintenance is performed. Management Model 5: “RME Ownership:” Specifies that program elements and activities for treatment are owned, operated,, and maintained by the RME, which removes the property owner from responsibility for the system. This program is analogous to central sewerage and provides the greatest assurance of system performance in the most sensitive of environments. It appears that Management Model 1: “Homeowner Awareness” applies to most of Rappahannock County, as conventional septic systems are widely used here. Management Model 2 and Model 3 are suited to those septic systems with more complex treatment capabilities, or where mote critical public health and water quality issues are involved. The Town of Washington, with a possible decentralized “package” wastewater treatment system in the future, might be a candidate for Management Model 4: “Responsible Management Entity (RME) Operation and Maintenance.” FISH DAY IT’S TIME FOR STOCKING Channel Catfish.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.TimesCommunity.com THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2005 Our View It’s a secret ££ ■ | appahannock's in the news,” said my husband to me as he glanced over the page of JL Vthe Washington Post at the kitchen table on Sunday morning. Immediately recognizing Fr. Robert J. DeMartino, I smiled, remembering that St. Peter's has now gained “parish” status. As the article continued commenting on St. Peter's growing congregation yet a congregation steeped in spirituality and a heightened sense of community, it moved to the county's rolling hills and bucolic splendor and lack of that horrid monster “commercialism” and that it's near enough for commuters to make the trek to this idyllic paradise. Hum. County administrator John McCarthy didn't hold back his feelings about being “loathe” to developers while at the same time extending a welcoming hand to tourists. Way to go, John. Over the fourth, I ran into one of Fauquier County's supervisors and he commented to me that Rappahannock had done a better job than Fauquier at holding the door on development. There is a lot about Rappahannock County that hasn't changed in hundreds of years. There are many back roads that are still dirt covered. There are buildings from earlier centuries that dot the countryside and make you feel that you might run into a Civil War skirmish around the bend. There are farms and streets and areas whose names proudly proclaim the legacy of their descendants dating back to the 1700s. There is a feeling that can't be denied and anyone that has lived here, is living here, or spends a great deal of time here knows that. It’s no secret how sacred a refuge Rappahannock County is to its residents. It’s a secret worth sharing but also a secret worth safeguarding.

In his role as a member of the Water and Sewer Authority Carson was a source of strength for the community. He served from its beginning in 1985 until his death in June 2005.

By unanimous vote, the supervisors adopted the county's first comprehensive plan, a plan which puts heavy emphasis on preserving farming and farm land from the pressures of urban sprawl.

Spending limits — or your property? Time and time again, opinion pages in the commonwealth have made repeated calls for serious spending reform. Each of these aimed to slow the rate of growth of government, to prevent the need for future tax increases — a serious and important goal indeed. However, if ever the need for serious spending reform (at every level of government) was needed, it is now. There’s a new beast on the horizon. While curbing future tax increases remains a laudable goal, a critical Supreme Court ruling has elevated the need for reform. Simply, we must limit the growth of government to protect our property. The seriousness of the issue cannot be denied. Your home is your castle, right? It was until June 23. That’s the day the Supreme Court ruled that your home is merely on lean from your friendly local government by granting broad powers for eminent domain for “economic develop The Forum Geoffrey Segal ment.” New London, Conn., officials had condemned homes and businesses to make way for an office building, swanky retail shops, and luxury condos and apartments. Their argument was simple — this development would generate more tax revenue than the existing buildings. The new buildings would generate a larger tax base, and thus more tax revenue, which, the Supreme Court ruled, constituted a “public use.” So next time your local government is strapped for cash, rather than fight a nasty tax battle, they have another option. Take your home or your business for “economic development.” Thanks to the Supreme Court, this now means simply “raising additional tax rev enues.” Soon, anyone’s house could be in jeopardy to pay for new and expanding services. What is particularly disturbing is that the Virginia Supreme Court has the same issue before it now, and may, out of necessity, bow to the Supreme Court decision — leaving us all in serious jeopardy. A great Virginian warned us, “Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.” It’s time we heed Thomas Jefferson’s words and take immediate action. We need to rethink just how our various levels of government interact with citizens, taxpayers, and property owners. Government has “sprawled” into new areas — creating agencies and new services at every turn. Over the years, a number of “vital” programs have been expanded or added to the list of “core” services provided by government. I don’t want to sound coldblooded, but if it’s between my house and a new government program, I’m going to pick my house every day of the week. Just look at the state’s budget. It has mushroomed in the last 10 years. Now that the state is flush with money after a largely unneeded tax increase, our policy makers need to show restraint and not spend that money, or the bulldozer could come to your community soon in order to “improve” the, neighborhood’s tax base so that government can get more money to pay for its increasing programs and services. While every local government may not be in the same position as the commonwealth, the General Assembly needs to act immediately and set the ground rules for appropriate eminent domain use to prevent abuse. Strict standards need to be erected with appropriate safeguards for property owners. One possible disincentive for abuse would require ompensation to be based Oi. .he appraised value of the land after rezoning, i.e., commercial real estate is almost always more valuable then ' residential. Another option would require localities to pay a premium if eminent domain is used — say 150 percent of assessed value. Simultaneously, every local government should re-evaluate its structure and the services it currently provides. Every program and activity should be scrutinized for effectiveness, efficiency, and relevancy i.e., is it a proper role for government to do this program? If we don't demand this, and significantly slow and limit the rate of growth of our governments, eminent domain will inevitably play a larger and larger role in future economic development I>lans. In her stinging dissent, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor validated the danger when she wrote, “The specter of condemnation hangs over all property. Nothing is to prevent the state from replacing any Motel 6 with a RitzCarleton, any home with a shopping mall, or any farm with a factory.” Action is needed, now. Our homes and businesses depend on it. In this election year, our voters should demand that those they vote for support legislation to strictly limit the use of eminent domain here in the birthplace of individual freedom. Geoffrey F. Segal is Director of Privatization and Government Reform Policy at the highly respected and nationally acclaimed Reason Foundation in Los Angeles. He is also the Senior Fellow for Government Reform for the Thomas Jefferson Institute for Public Policy — the leading non-partisan public policy foundation in Virginia. Gilbert vows to uphold property rights following Supreme Court decision Todd Gilbert, the Republican candidate for the 15th District House of Delegates seat in the Virginia General Assembly, expressed his disappointment with the United States Supreme Court’s decision recently to allow local governments to condemn private property for economic development projects. Gilbert also announced his intention to patron legislation to prevent condemnations in Virginia which are not for traditional “public use” but are intended to benefit private parties. The constitutional power of the government to take property for public use is commonly known as “eminent domain” and derives from the ‘Takings Clause” of the Fifth Amendment (“nor shall priLetters to the Editor Due to space limitations, published letters are subject to abridgment for length, accuracy and clarity.

Todd Gilbert Republican candidate for the 15th District vate property be taken for public use, without just com pensation”). In the past, the Takings Clause allowed the government to condemn private property in order to build such things as roads, parks, or government buildings. Eminent domain has now been applied in such a manner that it will allow localities to take private property from a homeowner or landowner and give it to developers in the interest of generating more tax revenue or economic activity. The following is the text of Gilbert’s statement: “Never in the history of this country has the government had such sweeping power to deprive people of their homes, their businesses and their family farms. I was deeply saddened to learn that Blubaugh responds to Gilbert's statements «TTITe all want to uphold VV property rights and oppose taking private property to advance the interests of private businesses. However, overlooked in Mr. Gilbert’s statement is that what the Supreme Court primarily did was to state that localities have a right to control their own development - that it is not a federal decision. Nor should it be a state decision, as Mr. Gilbert proposes. “We are very much concerned with growth issues throughout the 15th District. The citizens of our counties have the most at stake and are most knowledgeable of what must be done to preserve their culture. But they are frustrated at every turn by restrictions from Richmond. Adding more will not help the situation. “The way to deal with this is to elect individuals who reflect the wishes of the community to county boards and city councils. Gilbert wants to hold the decision at the Richmond level. This is not wise. Having the State in everyone’s backyard will only take away our freedoms, restrict our choices, and increase our property taxes.” Your Country Property Realtors "The Totten House" . 1- —:-1 Own a piece of history in downtown Sperryville.

In its decision Kelo v. City of New London, the Supreme Court voted to allow a Connecticut city to condemn private homes in order to make way for an office complex. Essentially, the Court interpreted “public use” to mean anything that could be construed to be a public benefit, such as a greater tax base. The Court, however, did leave to the states the ability to place further restrictions on the exercise of eminent domain by local governments. Next January, I will support legislation which will reaffirm the true meaning of “public use” and which will prevent government in Virginia from Jim Blubaugh Democratic candidate for the 15th District taking property through condemnation in order to benefit private interests.

Well-honed over the centuries, keening assumed a ceremonial function as well as an intensely cathartic one. Keeners were nearly always women, who served as both poets and performers, leading the informal congregation in both meter and tradition. At their most delicate, the results of such expression can be beautiful. Piercing expressions of grief can also be as difficult to bear as the sad occasion itself. Grief, by its very nature, resides on the outer edges of human experience. Keening died out in Ireland after the Famine and was not carried over to America. Keening may be an Ancient tradition, but the piercing of the heart caused by death is still common to us all.

With the generous donations of these organizations the camp was offered at a very low price. Coach Shay Bell, head coach of the Rappahannock boy's varsity soccer team along with Tim Kearney, head coach of Culpeper County High School, and Jason Kilby, head coach for the men's team at North Carolina Wesleyan College, along with Preston Will, Amanda Harding and Michael Fairbrother assisted these players the whole week with improving their basic soccer skills. They put their heart and soul in this training. Awards were presented to campers of the week Triston Proudfoot, Tiffany Yowell, Samantha King and Alexa Franco and the winner of the DC United autographed jersey was won by Tiffany Yowell. As the session closed on Friday, campers were anxious to receive their free soccer ball and t-shirt that was given out by the coaches of each team, the Fireballs, Lions, Red Volcanos, Mikettes, and Pink Unicorns. Bell, the director of the summer soccer camp said, "We had a great week of camp. The coaches worked very hard and all of them commented that they had a great group of kids to work with. All of the campers had fun and there was noticable improvement throughout all of the groups during the week. Hopefully this will help each player as they return to their own teams in the fall.

Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Ruth Purnell Becky Brown herds the cattle with the help of her dog Rip. Becky Brown rounds up the cattle to move them to a nearby field. Two team together to raise cattle in Rappahannock partnership By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News StafT Writer Becky Brown is a young farmer from Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts who has been working side by side with Cliff Miller of Sperryville’s Mount Vernon Farm in a relationship that is all about trust. In an effort to recruit young farmers to work on his land, Miller has taken a leap of faith and entrusted his entire cattle herd to the hands of this young woman. "We want to be a grass based farm and we are trying to develop a program that is good for the animals, farmers, customers, and the land," said Miller With her border collie, Rip, Brown herds Miller’s cattle single handedly and has begun some innovative techniques never before practiced on the farm. Brown's history "Being bom on a farm has been has been really important in the path I have chose,” said Brown who grew up on her father’s farm. Becky Brown’s Bunny Breeding Business was her first business venture and she sold pet rabbits to her friends. Always nurturing a love of animals Brown said she would try to coax her animals into boarding the school bus with her. "I was given a lot of responsibilities at a young age on the farm. We knew not to name the male animals because they would end up on the dinner table," said Brown. After high school Brown attended Union College, a liberal arts school in Schenechtady, New York. At the time she wanted to be an environmental attorney because she wanted to, "mandate that people do things the right way," said Brown, but in her second year of college a close friend observed that Brown’s father would soon be retiring from the farm and Brown would be a prime candidate to take over. Since her school did not offer classes pertinent to farming, Brown forged ahead with independent study classes focusing on farming. Six months abroad added more to her cattle raising repertoire as Brown traveled to New Zealand and Australia observing the effects of cattle on the rain forest. Brown wrote her senior thesis on comparing rotational grazing to continuous grazing, and she now uses'this knowledge at Mount Vernon. After graduation Brown received a job offer from The Farm Institute (Farming, Agriculture, and Resource Management) where she worked as farm manager and first put her ideas on rotational grazing to use. After outgrowing the non-profit aspect of The Farm Institute, Brown put her resume on the internet in the hopes of finding a job in Northern Virginia. Since Miller had no web site of his own to represent Mount Vernon Farm, it was through another Rappahannock farmer that a copy of Brown’s resume made its way into Miller’s hands. "Since he doesn’t have a web site, I never would have found Cliff through the internet," said Brown. Miller contacted Brown asking about her priorities and the two agreed they were aiming for Brown to run her own operation. "It was a slow process," said Brown. While Miller and Brown had no official contract drawn up, Brown was to be considered an employee of Mount Vernon Farm, even though she was entirely in charge of her own operation and lived in a small house on the farm rent free. Start up was slow and Brown said, "It took a year to learn the cycle of things and it took a while to train the dogs to move the cows." As a part of her rotational grazing techniques Brown is required to move a herd of 140 cattle two times a day. "Cliff was shocked at first, but I think now he understands it. He has had to have a lot of trust in me," said Brown. Brown said her goal now is to get the quality of the meat, cattle, and grass up. She has already worked hard on the marketing aspect of the farm by helping make a brochure, adjust meat prices, and compiled cooking instructions. In Brown’s opinion, Miller’s quest to bring in younger farmers is a good one. "Young people bring a willingness to interact with people and in being young you are not set in your ways," said Brown. As far as her work at Mount Vernon, Brown feels she is in a very good position. "By nature most farmers do not want to work for someone and Cliff’s attitude has been really great," explained Brown. While Brown does not own the land she works, or all of the cattle, she feels that her time at Mount Vernon is being well spent, because all she has learned is an investment in herself. Miller's vision Cliff Miller is the owner of Mount Vernon Farm, an 800acre spread in Spenyville, Va. FREE INSPECTION Protect your home. Permanently. Protect your home, family and pets against termites, fleas, ticks and other pests. 540-829-0000 www.PermaTreat.com PernaTsejs, PEST AND TERMTTE CONTROL Miller wants to see his land continue to be farmed in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner hopefully for another five generations. With no one in his family with the interest or skills to farm, Miller realized he had to look elsewhere if he wanted to see his vision fulfilled. "If you know what you want the next step is to figure out how to do it,” said Miller. Deciding that his assets were a good farm that was well situated and a wish to keep it in the family, Miller concluded what was needed was, "an innovative farmer that wanted to farm the way I do for the long haul." Miller understood that establishing this kind of relationship would be difficult in an employer/employee system. "When I read Becky’s resume I was ready to act and she was understandably reticent about a long term commitment," said Miller. Now that Becky is working at Mount Vernon, Miller is pleased with the way things are progressing, but there is still much more to be done. "Becky is getting the opportunity to build up her own herd. She is an amazingly talented young woman and I never would have thought I would be doing this with a 26-year-old woman from an island up North," said Miller. Miller added it will take a few years until the two can work out an agreement that is fair and meets the needs of both parties, but in the mean time they are learning what does and does not work on a daily basis. "We may end up having a partnership. She has taught me a lot and she has learned a lot about the land that is impacting her," continued Miller. "If you are both going in the same direction you can work it out, but I wouldn’t want Becky to stay (at Mount Vernon) a minute longer if she were unhappy. She will make an excellent grass farmer somewhere. If everything with Becky works, she wifi be a farmer that makes a difference," concluded Miller with a smile.

• Neighbors/B4, B5 • Classifieds/B6-B10 July 7, 2005 www.timescommunitv.com High Meadow Photo by John Tote The Worley House Photo by Sid Worley Harris Hollow house Photo by David Batchelder Trinity Episcopal Church Women will host house tour By Helen Williams Special to the Rappahannock News A three-story fieldstone home built in the 1790s, a wood frame 1920s bungalow, both in Flint Hill, and a newly constructed home in Washington have been chosen for the 49th Annual House Tour, presented by the Episcopal Church Women of Trinity Church in Washington, Virginia. This house tour, along with the dried flower sale, is the sole fundraiser of the group, which donates to charities, both inside and outside the county. This year, the Episcopal Church Dried Flower Sale and House Tbur is scheduled for Saturday, October 15 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. on Sunday, October 16. As in past years, tea will be served to all House Ibur guests at the Middleton Inn in Washington. Flowers are already being grown and dried for making the flower arrangements, which will be displayed for sale that weekend in the Trinity Church Hall. And each year, the group features three houses in the county for visiting. These homes are selected because they portray the county’s history, beauty, interests, and diversity. High Meadow The home at High Meadow Farm, on Crest Hill Road in Flint Hill, owned by Thomas G. Walker, Jr., is the oldest home on tour. Originally built as a three-story fieldstone house, with three windows on every floor, it is now expanded by two additions, with the interior returned to its original look. Outside, the two fieldstone additions, one from 1941 and one just completed, can hardly be distinguished from the original. A recently uncovered carved wooden main doorway, which predates the house and came from a rectory in Philadelphia, looks out over fields, rebuilt dry stone walls, a pool, and new landscaping. This main doorway, up a flight of new steps, leads into the hall and living areas, with the kitchen and dining rooms below on the first floor, and bedrooms on the third level. The original house had fireplaces in each room, and the newest addition carries this out. Mantels are original, or period pieces. Interior shutters show off the thickness of the stone walls. Numerous paintings from area artists showcase familiar landscapes . A guest house, spacious stables, and equipment shed complete the surroundings to the rear of the house. ' The bungalow The 1920s bungalow, at 616 Zachary Taylor Highway in the town of Flint Hill, sits calmly on its site retreating from the highway. The broad and gracious porch, with stone pillars and curved arches is enlivened with three sets of French doors. Sid and Mary Catherine Worley, recent owners, have spent a few years returning this classic home to what it might have been in the era of the Roaring 20s. Whenever possible, they have kept the original floors, fixtures, light sources, etc, and have enriched the home with their own antiques and furnishings, bought over a long period of time, but, perfect in their places. Of special note is Sid Worley’s collection of old clocks, and also paintings and memorabilia from Mary Catherine Worley's life as a rider, owner and trainer of horses. The kitchen was the scene of most of the extensive renovations, and an already enclosed back porch has been upgraded See TOUR, Page B2 JNight Lights Last January Jim Cook of Woodville wrote to suggest this particular column. At the time fireflies were far from our thoughts. But we’re seeing them now. Their evening displays are certainly among the best-loved of natural summer spectacles. Everyone probably has fond memories of chasing fireflies as a child, perhaps capturing some in a bottle to watch them glow. They are familiar to everyone, but there is still'much about them that we don’t know. We do know they make up a fairly diverse family (Lampyridae) of beetles (insect order Coleoptera) that can be found worldwide. Approximately 175 of the 1900 described species live in the United States, mostly east of the Mississippi River. Most adult fireflies produce light flashes, the function of which appears to be attraction of mates, or perhaps prey. The flashes are also apparently a distress signal given off when an animal is caught (which is RappNature Sara and Jim Lawray why they flash so repeatedly in jars). A few species, most of them west of the Rocky Mountains, do not produce light as adults. One of these, Lucidota atra, can be seen commonly in the county on trees especially in the early spring. Unlike other species, this one typically overwinters as an adult and is active during the day. Night glows Another common species in the county is the pyralis firefly (Photinus pyralis), which is active from dusk to a few hours after. Males fly less than two meters above the ground and make a distinctive, yellow J-shaped signal. Others include species in the genera Photuris, which typically Scientific illustration by Arwin Provonsha, Purdue Department of Entomology Says firefly (Pyractomena angulata), one of about 175 species of fireflies in the United States. have a green flash, and Pyractomena, which have an amber flash. Firefly larvae, sometimes called glowworms, are nocturnal and all produce light. Not much is known about the larvae since so many of them are subterranean. But some can be seen on vegetation in wet areas glowing eerily in the darkness. Glowworms are predaceous and feed on whatever invertebrates they can attract or capture. Many are known to kill their prey by injecting poison into them. They overwinter in underground tunnels and then form pupae in early springtime, emerging Photinus pyralis; Firefly Photo courtesy of Jim Lawrey a couple of weeks later as adults. This is when we usually see them. The males are most noticeable because they actively fly and flash their signals. Females typically stay on the ground and flash back to males, who then find the females and mate. The signaling is intricate and species-specific. Fireflies ala Black Widow Some females in the genus Photuris can mimic the signals of other species to lure males, not for See FIREFLIES, Page B2 ‘Million Dollar Baby9 is a knockout Space may hold the answer Book signing planned at Old Sperryville Bookstore By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News The grandest, most ambitious and most original movie in a long time is “Million Dollar Baby.” It had very little early pubhcity and virtually no hype. The reason was an ad blitz might have crippled the film by leading many people to quickly dismiss it as “just a boxing movie.” But it is so much more. Director Clint Eastwood explores the tragic side of human existence and the story emerges as an uplifting tragedy. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community is showing “Million Dollar Baby” at The Theatre in Washington, VA., Friday, July 15, at 8:00 p.m. Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Morgan Freeman), Best Actress (Hilary Swank) and Best Director (Clint Eastwood), the film focuses on Maggie Fitzgerald (phenomenal Swank), an uneducated 31-year-old woman from deep in the hillbilly country of southwest Missouri who barely makes ends meet as a waitress while pursuing a dream of becoming a pro boxer. She winds up at the “Hit Pit,” a seedy Los Angeles gym owned by Frankie Dunn (Eastwood), an aging fight manager with a weathered visage and a gravely voice. Frankie wants nothing to do with her. “I don’t train girls,” he growls. “People who see me fight say I’m pretty tough,” Maggie retorts in her Ozark drawl. “Girlie, tough ain’t enough,” he barks, turning away. Burt Frankie’s long-time friend, Eddie “Scrap Iron” Dupris (magnificent Morgan Freeman), who looks after (and fives in) the gym sees something in Maggie and lets her hang around to work out. Soon, she doggedly bulls through Frankie’s considerable defenses and, under his tutelage, begins a long string of thunderous victories in the ring. This story is not a set-up for a feel-good finish. Think Eastwood’s 1992 classic “Unforgiven” ‘Million Dollar Baby,’ starring Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman, will be shown at The Theatre, Friday, July 15, at 8:00 p.m. that bears some similarities to this film, lb reveal any more would ruin an incredibly moving final act. But that’s not the only reason to see this film. Every aspect of the production— the sharpness of the performances, artful photography that seems to turn shadows into fullfledged characters—is to be savored; it’s a film that really needs several viewings to fully appreciate. All three principal characters reveal great emotional depth. The many standout moments include a scene in which Maggie, riding in a car with Frankie on a lonely road late at night, talks of her childhood, and another in which Eddie sits at a diner with Maggie, musing about his own faded dreams and his long friendship with Frankie. “Million Dollar Baby” is the rare film that will keep many viewers in their seats for a while after the final credits roll, reflecting on the power and truth of what they’ve just seen. Don’t miss it. The film is rated PG-13 for language and violence. Run time is two hours and 12 minutes. By Nancy Ostlnato Special to the Rappahannock News As more and more Americans face obesity, diabetes, and health hazards related to aging, the tips and advice on how to maintain overall health and youthful vigor have also increased. Most recommendations are related to diet, vitamin supplements and exercise. Although changes in these areas do have benefits, the research of former NASA scientist and Sperryville resident Dr. Joan Vemikos suggests that the real solution to combating obesity and reversing the aging process comes from a most unlikely source- Space! Vemikos, who served as the Director of the Life Sciences Division at NASA Headquarters from 1993 until September 2000, led the ground research that developed the framework for understanding how space flight and Earth’s gravity affect the human body by looking into the health of astronauts when they returned from space explorations. She will share her findings as she discusses and signs copies of her new book, “The G-Connection: Harness Gravity and Reverse Aging” on Saturday, July 9th at 7 p.m. at the Old Sperryville Bookshop. The event, which is free and open to the public, is sure to be interesting as Dr. Vemikos explains how people can use gravity as they grow older to maintain good health and stay younger. Vemikos says that astronauts returning from a mission in the near gravity of Space show startling changes that are normally linked to old age. After only weeks in space, their coordination and balance are disturbed; muscles and bones weaken; like diabetics, they become resistant to insulin; they do not absorb nutrients as well; they have less stamina pnd have problems getting a good night of sleep. Vemikos {joints out those astronauts recover from these changes but that older people do not- or so we have been led to believie. In “The G-Connection," Vemikos takes readers on a voyage of discovery. Seeking the cause of these symptoms and ways to prevent them, she began working with young, healthy volunteers lying in bed for weeks on end. She observed the same “aging” symptoms as those seen in astronauts. Exercise helped but was not the whole answer. In research done with astronauts, volunteers, and the elderly, Vemikos developed her theory that many changes that come with age are not due to simply growing older, but most likely are the result of forgetting to use gravity and adopting a lifestyle that uses this force less and less over many years. Vemikos is well known throughout the scientific community. In addition to her work with NASA, she was an Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at Ohio State University Medical School. Trained in London, Dr. Vemikos held academic appointments at Stanford University, Wright State University School of Medicine, and was a visiting professor at the University of London. She has published over 200 scientific papers and reviews, holds three patents, has served on editorial boards of scientific journals and was associate editor of Pharmacological Review's. She has received numerous awards, including NASA’s Exceptional Scientific Award, is a member of the International Academy of Astronautics and a Fellow of the World Economic Forum. “Her intricate knowledge of these fields and her lifetime involvement with NASA make her ideally qualified to write this book for the lay reader with an inquiring mind”, said astronaut and Senator John Glenn in the foreword of the book.

There are now over 400 registered parish members. But more than mere numbers, the new pastor emphasizes the importance of growth in holiness. “There is a universal call to holiness. I’ve heard it and I’m trying to respond to it. Part of that response is intensely personal; I have to respond to God’s grace; generously, consistently, courageously,” emphasized Fr. Robert DeMartino, the parish priest. Born in Flushing, NY, and raised in Virginia, the new pastor, Fr. Robert J. DeMartino, was ordained a priest in the Arlington Diocese in 1992. He came to St. Peter’s in June of 2003. Reflecting upon his new role as pastor, Fr. DeMartino commented, “I have to lead them, not because I’m better than them, but because I have been sent to them. I have the grace of Holy Orders, and by God’s will I am here now. He’s made me their pastor, their father, their shepherd. And so I have to be an example; that means I have to be authentic, and that’s the best safeguard against hypocrisy.” The. foundation of Fr. DeMartino’s active priestly ministry rests firmly on the twin pillars of a deep interior prayer life and a well-bal- ‘ anced rule of life. He recalled, “There’s a saying in the literature of Catholic spirituality that’s pertinent to what I’m saying: Attende tibi or Take heed to thyself. As St. Paul stated, ‘let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall’ (1 Cor 10:12). ... So I have to attend to myself first, to my own interior life, my own sanctification. Then, and only then, can I begin to be in a position to lead anyone else.” Over the past two years, St. Peter’s parishioners have become familiar with a number of the new pastor’s memorable adages. When explaining that many areas of Catholic teaching often seem difficult for our finite human minds to accept, he quipped, “God’s ways are not our ways.” In addition, he often reminds his flock that friendship with Jesus must have pride of place in their lives. “Shouldn’t we long to spend time with Him now,” he asks, “if we hope to spend eternity with Him hereafter?” If extra-curricular activities, entertainment and even “good works” are distracting us from our relationship with Christ, then we must say “No!’for “ ‘No’ is an acceptable answer.” There will be a Mass of Installation on Sunday July 17, at 3 p.m. When Arlington Bishop Loverde appointed the new pastor to St. Peter’s he singled out these words from the Order of Installation and made them his own: "Remember, my brother Robert, always be a loving father, a gentle shepherd, and a wise teacher of your people, so that you may lead them to Christ who will strengthen all that you do." Reflecting on these words, Fr. De Martino noted, “It’s a tall order for me and I pray and ask everyone to pray that I can rise to the occasion.” In addition to daily Mass at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday through j Saturday, St. Peter’s has a I Saturday Vigil Mass at 5:30 p.m. and two Sunday Masses at 8:30 and 10 a.m. The Church is located at 12762 Lee Highway in Washington and may be reached at (540) j§^ 675-3432.

Tour From Page B1 to a breakfastAnud • room, with French doors, tiled floor, and a pub table and chairs. A pergola on the side of the house, and the multi-level patio, with plantings, a fountain, and several seating areas are completely new. Harris Hollow “Harris Hollow House,” recently built for Roger and Jane Batchelder, in the Town of Washington, is the third house of this year’s tour. It was five years in the design phase, with the Batchelder’s son, David, working on the plans, and incorporating ideas from his parents, and inspired by the houses of Frank Lloyd Wright. In fact, the outside stucco finish is similar in color to that of Falling Waters in Pennsylvania. Inside, high ceilings, long windows overlooking the fields to the north of town, and a restrained color scheme and furnishings attest to the home’s modem quality. Much of the furniture in the living areas is classic modem furniture by Eames and Saarinen and Gray, some bought by the Batchelders when new in the 1950s and others collected in the years since. A charcoal grey stone fireplace dominates the living room , and granite counters, brushed stainless steel, and open cabinets distinguish the open kitchen. Two offices, a guest room, and the master bedroom complete the home. A large patio off the living quarters, a gazebo off the master bedroom, walkways, and gardens surround the house and attached carriage house . Mark your calendars and plan to attend this year's 49th annual Home Tour sponsored by the Episcopal Church Women of TVinity Church. Not only will you be treated to three lovely homes but you’ll be able to purchase dried flower arrangements for your own home as well as take a moment for a cup of tea at the Middleton Inn. Sounds marvelous! Fireflies From Page B1 mating but for eating! And this apparently invests the females with chemicals that protect them from predation. Aside from this macabre (female) behavior, though, adult fireflies are rarely predaceous. For the short time they are active, most eat nothing but an occasional meal of plant nectar. Jim asked us how many species we have in the county, but we were unable to get a reliable figure from any authority. One could presumably get a fair idea of the diversity of fireflies in an area by counting the number of different signals one sees during the evening. The pattern of flashes and the color of the light are different in each species. Some species also signal early in the evening while others wait for total darkness, and there are noticeable differences in the preferred habitats of each species. The mechanism of bioluminescence in fireflies has long fascinated scientists. It results from a complicated series of chemical reactions that take place in specialized cells in the animal’s body. Basically, a compound called luciferiri reacts with oxygen and the energy-supplying molecule ATP in these cells to produce light. Luciferin is now quite valuable as a biochemical detection tool in hundreds of clinical and commercial applications. For example, it is used to detect the presence of bacteria in contaminated foods. And it can detect changes in cellular activity in cancer cells. It has even been proposed as a way of detecting life on Mars! It used to be harvested from thousands of living fireflies, but now can be synthesized using recombinant DNA biotechnology.

Continuing on a very long fish tale from our Flint Hill man...part II My buddy, Oscar de Miranda, drove up from Marietta, GA, on a recent Thursday. We left Flint Hill about 8:00 the next morning. Oscar had towed his open semiv boat and motor for use in the bigger lakes, but a fellow hit the back of his boat in Wytheville, VA, putting the motor out of commission, so we left that rig in Flint Hill. I had my flat bottom on top of the truck and a little Mercury outboard for the smaller lakes and portages. We made Buffalo, Peace Bridge and the Canadian border about 4:30 that afternoon, and, amazingly, breezed right on through. Stayed the night at Parry Sound, above Tbronto, on the Georgian Bay, off Lake Huron, and pulled into Shining Tree and Three Bears Camp about noon on Saturday. This was Oscar’s, first trip to Shining Tree, although he had made two fly-in trips to lakes west of there. If I am counting correctly, this was my sixteenth trip to Ontario. I always wanted to do a fly-in, to some secluded lake where the pike are as long as your leg, but, while the remoteness of that adventure is very appealing to me, fishing the same lake for a week is not. I like variety. This part of Ontario is on a latitude that is called the arctic watershed. I am told that this is the place where, north of here, the rivers and streams flow north, to James Bay, and south of here, the rivers flow south to the great lakes. That would make you think that this is the high point, as far as elevation is concerned, and, since water doesn’t run uphill, that must be so! But to this observer, raised in the Blue Ridge, it looks awfully flat. And, when you are driving, it seems you must surely be about as far north as Ontario goes. Believe me, that is not the case. Ontario is huge, and there is a heck of a lot of it still north of Shining Tree. Enough geography. You got to love this place I am very, much impressed Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com that, in this part of Ontario, once you buy your fishing license, you can fish just about any water you can get your boat in or you can walk to. This land belongs to all the Canadian people, i.e., it is not privately owned, except for a few, relatively small parcels around villages. You can drive down the road, and when you see a lake, and there are, literally, thousands of them, you can go fish in that lake. No problem. You got to love that. 'Many of the lakes here are not accessible by land vehicle, and they do not get fished. You just can’t get to them. At least, you can’t get to them in the summertime. Some do get fished during the winter, through three feet of ice, reached only by snowmobile. That fishing pres- * sure, at 20 to 40 degrees i* below zero, is not heavy, to say the least. o; Besides hunting and // fishing and snowmobil- ", ing, the major industry, i by far, is forestry. And , what does that do for the , fisherman? For those not faint of heart, and who , , have the will and stamina to sustain their fishing fetish- ‘"* es, it makes accessible some lakes that haven’t been fished in a long, long time, if ever. The Bakers and Three Bears Camp Brandon Baker knows this land, and he knows where the lakes are that have big fish. And he knows better than to promise you anything when it comes to fishing. (That’s why they call it “fishing” and not “catching”) But you would do well to follow his advice. He and his wife, Cindy, own and operate Three Bears Camp in Shining Tree.

We enjoyed <all the comforts of home. The cabins have electricity, hot running water, showers, and an electric range in the kitchen. Even a gas fireplace, for those chilly mornings or for when you need to dry your clothes, as Oscar did after he fell out of the boat, and a nice fish house where you can clean your fish, and lots of new boats and outboards. Yeah, this was really roughing it. Oh, and there are no TVs, and cell phones don’t work up there. Ain’t it great! The expedition departs After two days of messing around in our little boat, it was time for the excursion. Brandon took his big 4x4 truck, pulling a trailer with a 4x4 ATV, or quad, on it. Oscar and I followed in my truck, pulling one of Brandon’s trailers and boats. We went up the paved road for probably an hour, then turned off onto a “road” through a recent logging operation. We drove that way for a long time, and the further we went, the less like a road it became. Then, Brandon parked his truck, took the quad off the trailer, took the boat trailer off my truck, hooked it to the quad, and took off through the bush, with me and Oscar trying to keep up in my 4x4 truck. As the story goes, by and by we came to a place where we, in the truck, could go no further. We stopped, put what we could risk, including the motor and gas, into the boat, and Brandon took off again, this time with me and Oscar tramping behind, carrying rods and reels and nets and tackle boxes and all the other paraphernalia that we intelligent homo sapiens need to outwit a cold-blooded, prehistoric fish, that should be as dumb as a box of hammers, but really isn’t. The lake Then, out in the middle of nowhere, we came upon this beautiful lake, that looked like something out of a fairy tale. By Rappahannock standards, it was a huge lake. Brandon dismissed it as a pot hole. All I know is, it had weed beds and rocks and deep channels, and whatever else a pike needs to call it a nice place to live. After a bit of muscle power to get the boat off the trailer and into the water, we were ready to fish. Brandon wished us well, and rode away on the quad, leaving the trailer and us to our own devices. As I had been the motorman for the two previous days, Oscar took that position, and I got the front of the boat, Teady to do battle with whatever the lake had to offer. Now, the guy in back gets to fish, too. But, because most of the folks I go fishing with were raised on bass fishing, which is cast and retrieve, and we tend to carry over that method when we fish for pike, being in the front of the boat is an advantage. The only thing we knew about this lake was a tale we had heard second or third hand, that early this year, after ice out, the game warden had checked two guys walking out from this lake, and he said the pike^they had, if they had been carrying them in a wheelbarrow, would have stuck out both ends of the wheelbarrow. That fish tale could well have been true. But that really didn’t make any difference. Brandon had said fish this lake, there are big pike here. Nothing else mattered. We fished for about an hour and a half, and had picked up several nice pike, about two feet long, and maybe 5 pounds, around the larger of the two islands on the lake. Then we headed for the upper part of the lake, and a smaller island. As we approached the island, I could see weed beds along the shore, and then rocks descending from the shore, with no weeds. This usually means the water is too deep for the weeds, and can be a good transition place for large, predatory fish to The Colony Shop Town and Country Clothes for every occasion. 540-955-3859 We've moved just next door .

I will tell you exactly what I was using. It was a number 5, Blue Fox, with a bright blue bell and a silver spinner. On the back of that, I had a yellow curly tail. I cast right up close to the shore, in the rocks, and retrieved as slowly as I dared, to test the depth of the water and get the lure as deep as possible without snagging the bottom. The hit was almost immediate. I knew this was a quality fish. I told Oscar we needed the net for this one, and after a bit the fish tired enough to get him in the boat. He weighed exactly 8 pounds on scales that were brand new, a gift from my son, who couldn’t make this trip, but didn’t want me coming home with teles of 10 pound pike if they had been weighed on the rusty old De-Liar I keep in my tackle box. Just across from the small island, towards the shore, there was another weed bed. We figured there must be a deep channel between the island and the shore, and started fishing that, moving towards the weeds on the opposite shore. Not two casts later, I struck another good fish. He was also a dandy. He fought well and hard, but eventually came to hand. This one weighed 10 pounds, and, to say the least, I was very pleased. The big fish of long ago I never felt like I was in competition with M.H.’s 10 pound pike, but, nevertheless, that had been the high water mark for sometime. As a matter of fact, competition with my older brothers has rarely been a factor in any area. I recall one incident quite vividly, when Charles and I were bowhunting with some friends of his in Shenandoah County. ‘ I could sling some pretty good arrows in those days, and while practicing one day in camp, one of Charles’ friends tried to razz him a bit, and said, “What are you going to do if your little brother gets a bigger deer than you do?” He never hesitated. He smiled and said, “I’ll be proud, and I’ll say that was my brother who did that.” As it turns out, he got a buck that trip, and I got nothing. Enough said. My 10 pounder, however, had recently acquired some of his heft. As I was holding the fish, using long, needle nosed pliers to get the lure free, sticking out of his gullet was the tail of his latest meal. The tail of that fish was easily three inches wide. Which leads me to conclude that he struck my lure out of instinct, and hunger had nothing to do with it. Boston Marie F. Atkins 987-8802 Social Security Disability Claims • Disabled?

We took a picture and congratulated ourselves. We should have held off on that. Not five minutes later, near the weeds along the main shoreline, I had another strike, and this fellow had no plans for going peaceably. The drag on my spinning reel was set pretty tight, and I was using Fireline, with a diameter equivalent to an 8 pound line, but a real breaking strength of probably 17 pounds. The drag was screaming. I had hooked the pike about 20 feet from the weeds, and after a few initial runs to the side and violent head shakes, he headed for the weeds, and there was nothing I could do about it but hold on. Our first glimpse of him was a strange one. He was headed straight away from us, and his back broke the surface of the water twice, as he seemed to porpoise through the weeds. Then, unexpectedly, he turned and came rather easily toward the boat, and I thought I had him. He had other ideas. Catch me if you can When he got to the boat, still too deep in the water to see him, he kept on going. The tip of my rod went into the water and back under the boat, and the drag started screaming again. I hollered for Oscar to get the motor up. He did, and that’s probably what saved us. With the tip of my rod still in the water, the pike made a powerful run towards the back of the boat and would have surely wrapped the line around the motor if Oscar hadn’t raised it out of the water. The pike headed back towards the weeds, but I was able to turn him this time, and after another minute or two of give and take, got him close enough for Oscar to get him in the net. Even in the boat, he still wasn’t finished. He bit a hole in the net before we could get him out, and, yes, he went on the stringer. He was 38 inches long, and weighed 14 pounds. Cindy had me bring him into the restaurant part of The Bears Den, to show the other guests. \ I think she and Brandon were as happy about this fish as I was. That’s probably because they knew they wouldn’t have to listen to my mumbling anymore about a 10 pound pike. And, true, we celebrated a bit that night, and used up most of the w'hole week’s ration of snake bite medicine. Oscar and I fished the same lake the next day. But, while we caught fish, and continued to catch good fish in other lakes for the next three days, there are no more stories to tell. (Well, really, there sure, but this one’s too long, already.) F.

Summer can be fun There's a season in each year that we always hold dear to our hearts. It's that time of sun drenched days and starlit nights. The little darling spring has run away, the sunshine grew too hot for her to stay. It's summertime once again. Lets’ enjoy the long lazy season of picnics by the river, old-fashioned ice cream, seaside vacations, cold lemonade, songs of the robins, the beauty of the roses, sunshine to warm our hearts and not forget the burgers hot off the grill. Oh, what joy this season, summertime does impart to us. And watch out for those icecream headaches. What causes an “ice cream headache”? An ice-cream headache is triggered by a sudden change in temperature that occurs in your mouth when you eat something cold. On a hot day when you eat a snow cone, the cold crushed ice that touches the top of your mouth initiates a nerve reaction that swells blood vessels in your head. The nerve center on the roof of your mouth over reacts to the cold temperature of the snow cone and tries to heat your brain. This swelling of blood vessels is what causes an ice -cream headache, or what is more commonly known as “brain freeze” or “frozen brain syndrome.” Luckily the intense stabbing pain in your head usually lasts only for about 30-60 seconds. I scream, you scream, we all scream ice-cream HEADACHE! The best way to avoid getting an ice-cream headache is keep the chilled foods or beverages you eat on the side of your mouth, away from the roof of your mouth. Sunbathing is a favorite summertime ritual for many. But it's important to be aware of the risks Washington Jan Clatterbuck 675-3338 jclatterbuck<§> timespapers.com from exposure to the sun's bright rays! Summer means sunscreens Most people know they have to use it, but they still aren't doing the right things to protect their skin against harmful rays that cause sunburn, photoaging and skin cancer. Make sure your skin is fully protected from the sun. What is most overlooked by consumers is the quantity to apply and what types of sunscreens really protect the skin against both UVB and UVA sunrays. The typical adult needs to apply one ounce, or two tablespoons, of sunscreen to cover them selves from head-to-toe in a single application. Most people apply about half that much. “A family of four, therefore, should go through an 8-oz. bottle in two days,” noted Dr. AlexiadesArmenakas “Sunscreen needs to be applied 15 minutes prior to going out in the sun and every 1 1/2, to 2 hours later.” Also, people must reapply after leaving the water. Due to slow absorption, Armenakas stressed that it is .important to apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before the skin is ready to be exposed to sunlight. “It’s too late if you’re already at the beach,” she noted. Let's enjoy the summer with warm weather and outdoor entertaining and be sure -e the sunscreen. Have a happy summer everyone! Be sure and stop by the Long Mountain Nursery this Saturday and check out their blooming daylilies and keep in mind that the Middle Street Gallery has their “Artist's Speak” reception on Sunday from 2-6 p.m. Boston From Page B4 which begins July 12. More information will be announced later.
