Post office patrons may remember Norris from his days as a puppy, lounging around the post office. He used to greet patrons, sticking his head into their post office boxes when they opened them up. Now he's all grown up. A full time professional, Norris is now a trained and seasoned seeing eye dog, living and working in Peachtree City, Georgia, where he is employed by college student Alice Stacey. Postal clerk Nina Shepardson raised Norris from a puppy. She volunteers with the Guiding Eyes for the Blind seeing eye dog training school. Volunteers like Shepardson take in puppies from the school, and take care of them for the first two years of their lives. Then comes the hard part: they give up the dog, who goes off to school in Yorktown, New York. After extensive training and a Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Bill Kossler ■ NOSING AROUND: Norris investigates the Rappahannock News post office box, a favorite haunt from his pup days. rigorous selection process, successful candidates become guide dogs. Homeward bound Shepardson and Stacey met a year ago in Yorktown, New York. When the dogs graduate and are placed with an employer, the school has a graduation ceremony and the dog's "parents" as it were, are invited. The Shepardsons got to say goodbye to Norris and meet Stacey. Stacey, who was bom and raised in Georgia and is currently a full time student at the University of West Georgia, is out of school for the summer. So Stacey decided to bring Norris to his old home for a visit celebrating the anniversary of his graduation and placement.

A bit of Zen By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer If you want to treat yourself to something really special, there is a new spa in Culpeper. Longtime Rappahannock resident Terri Freeborn has partnered with Janev Yucel of Warrenton to open up Spa Zen, a full service Day Spa on Davis Street in Culpeper. • Freeborn, who has been involved with massage and herbal treatments for sixteen years, started in Sperryville. There she studied with several of Rappahannock's rich complement of massage therapists, herbal medicine scholars, and practitioners of alternative medicine. "I incorporate the various healing methods into my massage work; acupressure, deep tissue massage. We have a signature hot stone treatment with stones hand selected from the Shenandoah River. It's a Swedish massage with the assistance of hot stones. The stones are heated in a special pot. They have a wonderful deep warmth to get down into the back,” said Freeborn. The Swedish massage, Freeborn explained, is typified by See ZEN, Page A3 Meetings & Notices • Rappahannock County now has an official county government website.

St. Peter’s Catholic Church honored Father Robert DeMartino on Sunday at a special mass in honor of his installation as the new pastor of the church that previously had been a “mission.” With its growth and continuity assured, the mission near Little Washington recently was elevated by Bishop Paul Loverde to the status of a parish church.

DeBergh access road moves closer to approval By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News It's getting closer but it's not quite there yet in the matter of the DeBergh subdivision access road and just who will maintain it. After much debate, on a motion made by Mayor Eugene Leggett, the council voted unanimously to accept state maintenance of the toad only from the Wheeler and Gay Street intersection to the subdivision entrance, subject to the submission of a new plan to be approved by the town. The roads within the subdivision will be built and maintained by the developer. The subdivision’s owner earlier agreed to build the extended street within the town’s right-of-way to their property according to state specifications. The principal business of the Tfawn Council meeting held Wednesday evening, July 13, was to seek agreement among council members and between the various parties (James DeBergh, the Town of Washington, VDOT, and adjacent landowners) for an acceptable plan of access to the DeBergh subdivision. Although the subdivision is located in the county and outside the town boundaries, its access will be through Wheeler Street extended over which the town has jurisdiction. In its original request to VDOT, the town requested only that the state agency agree to maintain the “Wheeler Street extension” (some 223 feet of street to the entrance of the DeBergh subdivision). Surprisingly, VDOT offered to maintain the full road from the intersection of Gay Street to the last property in the cul de sac. At first, it appeared this was a very attractive offer. In the end, however, to allow the town to maintain control of the road in the future, the town’s attorney, John Bennett, advised that it would be more advantageous for the town to go back to the original request that VDOT maintain only the dedicated road within the 40-foot right-of-way. Things to think about Several issues of concern about the new street were raised during the council's consideration of this matter. One was the possible difficulty of navigating a turn into the street because of its angle, especially for large trucks and emergency vehicles. Another concern is the “lay of the land” in the right-of-way that runs out from the very edge of Diane Bruce’s home 40 feet to the right. Drainage could be a problem and water runoff would have to be considered: The actual travel portion of the road only needs some 18 to 20 feet. VDOT representatives, members of the Town Council, and Diane Bruce as the adjoining landowner most affected by this development will meet on July 29th to flag and stake the road so everyone will have a clearer idea of what is being proposed and approved.

Small town America revisited: Annual Flint Hill carnival and parade coming this month By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News One of the area’s most picturesque villages will host the Mint Hill Fire and Rescue Company’s annual carnival and parade, beginning with opening night for the carnival on Wednesday, July 27. Now entering its 51st year, the Flint Hill carnival and parade has become a tradition and offers just about everything for a fun evening— carnival rides, games, blue grass bands, BBQ, and an old-fashioned parade that will feature beauty queens, drum and bugle corps, festive floats, antique cars and firefighting equipment—new and old. Willie Rader of West Virginia Amusements who put on the Amissville’s popular carnival last month is bringing many of his popular rides to Flint Hill as well. With the help of many dedicated volunteers, Bill Jarrett, president of the Flint Hill Fire and Rescue Company, has worked diligently to plan and stage an exciting event for kids, adults, and the young at heart. A new event expected to draw crowds on Wednesday’s opening night will be a “Celebrity Dunking Booth” that offers everyone a chance to dunk your favorite notable and help raise funds for the fire-company. The annual Flint Hill carnival is the fire and rescue company’s principal fundraiser for the year.

While supervising the installation of the exhibition at the hospital, Richey said one visitor stopped by to comment on the Warrenton painting’s depiction of a familiar barbershop, saying with a chuckle that he’d received his first spanking at that establishment because he couldn’t sit still for his haircut. Many memories and personal con nections are evident in the frequent requests the hospital receives for purchase of items in its permanent collection of Richey’s work. Ten pieces that were used as studies for the larger Warrenton painting will be featured in the current exhibition, which runs through August 31. These include a depiction of the Fauquier pharmacy, now gone, as well as familiar buildings on Main Street. In addition, a large painting of Old Rag will be featured.

Norris From Page A1 Although it has been more than a ye&r since he's been here, Norris remembered Washington well. “We used to put a snack treat in box 240 for Norris” Shepardson tells us. “When he came back he went straight to box 240, looking for his treat.” Hound of the class As a successful guide dog, Norris is in elite canine company. Most of the dogs raised for training don't make the cut for ope reason or another. On top of their sgeci£t]ized training, successful dogs have t»Jhave a ’very calm, patient temperament, and he consistently well behaved ;fei»fl>licOfcly about pne in fbur make fne cut. » \ - . k Even then, after all the breeding, iftjftning gjnd3ughly discriminating selection process,* sometimes a dog will be a W Stacey’s first guide dog, an eightyef* pound ^bldeli retrievpr who worked ; fo^her some five years, Was occasionally djjiiscreant: “We were walking through SJaestaurpn}; one time and he snagged Ss-■ someone's french fries.” This kind of thing is a fireable offense for a guide dog. He was forced into early retirement at the age of seven. Norris has a spotless record so far. Although Stacey is his second employer, it is through no fault of Norris. The fellow simply decided a guide dog wasn't for him. In the year he's been away from Rappahannock, Norris has been quite the traveler, Stacey tells us. “He's been all over. He's been to to Biloxi, Chattanooga, Jekyll Island Georgia. Right before the hurricane, we were both evacuated. He spent the last year on campus... He’s hiked two miles on the Appalachian Trail” It was on campus that Norris earned his nickname: “Snorris”. “He snores very loudly. He can let out a perfect snore during the most boring lecture’ Stacey tells us. Well, maybe Norris can be forgiven for sleeping in class. He's already graduated after all. If you want to find out more about raising guide dogs, the program Shepardson worked through has an excellent website: odc.guidingeyes.org.

Partnering to spread well-being Aside from just feeling good, Freeborn points out that masrage is good for you on a variety Kjevels. It helps stretch and rdlax muscles, takes away tensioii that can cause long term ; Jfcalth problems, and the kneading of the muscles helps blood ! fl<)w and internal cleansing. “Uric acid and lactic arid build up in the muscles. . Massage aids in circulation and elimination of the toxins that build up,” Freeborn explained. It is the hands-on helping and healing aspect of massage that attracted Freeborn to the business years ago. “I've always had a natural inclination toward touch and healing people- helping to heal people in an alternative way.” Freeborn met her business partner Yucel in Warrenton. In recent years, both of them €6 I’ve always had a natural inclination toward touch and healing people. Terri Freeborn Spa Zen worked there doing similar work as they now are doing together. Yucel specializes in European facials, skin care and full body treatments. Yucel, who was bom on the island of Cyprus, and has been in the U.S. since a teenager, has studied natural skin treatments in London and France, and over here, with masters from Hungary and Denmark. She is licensed by California as an aesthetician. California tightly regulates the business, while Virginia has no regulation as of yet. Look good — feel marvelous Yucel uses a lot of natural products, and mixes her own aromatherapy unctions. There is an element of the holistic and alternative to her work, but at the same time it is fundamen tally make-up and skin care with more natural ingredients and fewer harsh chemicals. Yucel was attracted to the aesthetic field from an early age. “I do natural make-up now. I started as a little girl with make-up. I decided I wanted to help people look good, feel good, stay young and age gracefully” she remarked. Along with her treatments and natural products, Yucel plans to be offering classes in make-up in upcoming months. With a facial treatment, Yucel may start you by performing a manual cleansing facial. Then she will analyze your skin, looking closely with her magnifying lens, and help decide upon a treatment. Then you might get an herbed mud facial and afterwards an aromatic oil massage of the head, neck, shoulders and the top of the chest- the portion of you that would show in a bust or portrait. If you want more, you can get a full body treatment too. They will wrap you up in a cocoon and relax you with aromatic steam, then you’ll shower and he down for a light massage with therapeutic oils. Ultra Luxe Their fullest, most deluxe treatment will take you some four and a half hours of pampering. On top of all the above mentioned delights, you'll get a manicure, a pedicure and an epicurean delight in the form of lunch brought over from Foti's, Culpeper's wonderful new fine dining experience across the street from Spa Zen. Tve always had a natural inclination toward touch and healing people- helping to heal people in an alternative way. I will be learning the rest of my life. I seize every opportunity I can to learn more,” emphasized Freeborn. A healthful and luxurious experience for anyone, Spa Zen has specialized treatments for a variety of situations. They offer a gentleman's facial, as well as a men's facial, steam, massage and manicure package, with' more masculine herbs and skin treatment that is geared toward helping prevent razor bum and folliculitis.

Asked how the hospital came to organize the exhibition, Barbara Crierie, marketing assistant and Community Outreach Coordinator, said that the hospital had purchased 10 watercolors from Richey in 1993, mostly depicting Warrenton buildings. When the hospital began its recent renovation, the paintings were moved for temporary storage in the Community Relations Office and Crierie began exploring the possibility of displaying those works along with additional work by Richey from Rappahannock in the new Tower area. In all, 16 pieces of Richey's work will be featured in the exhibition, which is located in the hospital’s main lobby to the right of the entrance “It’s a neat opportunity to be able to see the large painting of Old Town with all the Warrenton buildings,” Richey said, noting a retrospective aspect to the show that she finds, with amusement, both pleasing and premature in a career that remains prolific and most definitely in full flower. “The exhibition is being thoroughly enjoyed by our staff, visitors and patients - anyone who visits,” said Fauquier Hospital’s Crierie. “We invite everyone to stop by” DeBergh From Page A1 town’s administrative assistant, give a report on the town’s new web site.

The Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) of the U.S. Congress is studying this move in response to some commercial landowners putting their land in easements to take tax breaks for projects such as golf courses. This loophole in the law should be closed to stop such abuses. But killing the program would effectively end voluntary private conservation efforts here. Property owners here, already burdened by the high cost of keeping land in open space, would largely find their private stewardship challenging without the financial incentive of these public easements. Eliminating this program, though used by a relative few, would result in paving the way for destruction of viewscapes for the many and accelerate urban sprawl here. Governor Warner strongly supports the scenic easement program because of its value to forest cover, agriculture and a healthy biodiverse environment. Conservation easements are the most important private sector vehicle we have today for advancing the cause of environmental protection here and across the United States. Congress should close the loopholes while keeping this basic and essential program. Mourning Mary Mary Wharton Groves passed away sadly without seeing her classmates from long ago in print.

This came from a county school teacher who had been having a ter, rible time with a little boy using profane language at school and on the bus. In desperation, she had the child wash his moutl with soap. When he thought he had had enough and wanted to stop, she insisted or another mouthful, in a monotone he uttered an oath and said, “*$%#, what's she trying to do, bleach me?” 25 Years Ago July 24,1980 Givon Parsons of Washington hooked more than he bargained for last week in his farm pond behind the Rappahannock Recreation Center. “I was actually fishing for snapping turtles trying to clean my pond out,” Parsons said He pulled in the set line with its chicken gizzard bait after spotting the Clorox bottli marker bouncing up and down, and was surprised with a three-foot long eel. “I didn’t know there were eels around here I just never saw one that big before,” he said, displaying the trophy all skinned and gutted and soaking in brine. Game Warden Jim Bankstone confirmed that eels travel from the Chesapeake Bay to fresh water rivers to spawn and bear their young and then swim back downstream to the ocean. He noted that the three-foot long specimen caught by Parsons was the average size of a young adult. “I've seen them that big in the Hughes River when fishing for trout,” Bankston added. 1 While a three-foot eel in a Rappahannock farm pond may not provoke the surprise that a Loch Ness monster would, Givon Parsons is still astonished that his visitor completed the long, uphill wiggle. “He sure had to climb a bunch of rocky stairs to get here,” Parsons concluded. 10 Years Ago July 26,1995 In the fall of 1996, Chef Patrick O'Connell of the Inn at Little Washington will follow in the footsteps of many other famous ’ chefs- his first cookbook will be released. This cookbook will be different from others, ; though, because it will feature local farmers and purveyors in Rappahannock who supply The Inn with their goods, along with beautiful scenic photos of the county, and, of course, recipes using local, fresh ingredients. This vision of a cookbook is more of a European style for a cookbook, thought up by Mr. O'Connell and Tim Turner, a professional food photographer GIVON PARSONS in 1980 with eel and eel skin from his pond in Washington. Photo by Daphne Hutchinson from Chicago who is doing the photos for this book. Mr. O'Connell chose Mr. Turner as his photographer after seeing other cookbooks which he photographed. Mr. Turner said “This is very exciting work for me because I live in Chicago and I am usually in a studio for 12 to 14 hours a day.” He said that he is amazed at the beauty of Rappahannock and looks forw ard to his trips here from Chicago for the photo shoots.

Wastewater treatment management: Rappahannock County’s current situation Should county residents worry about water quality and what happens to waste? This is the fourth 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 What is Rappahannock County doing about the management of the conventional septic systems in the county? Is this a big deal? Should we worry? Is EPA's Management Model 1: "Homeowner Awareness," of any use? Start with the last question. . EPA’s Management Model 1: "Homeowner Awareness," is just one of five wastewater treatment management models provided by EPA as guidance to State and local governments. It is the most simple and basic management model, essentially a no-brainer. Four implementation points are suggested. Medge Carter, of the Rappahannock County Health Department, has provided comment on these implementation points. Proper Installation: Make sure onsite/decentralized systems are installed properly in accordance with State/local regulations and codes: Comment: This is done by the Health Department. In the case of the few alternative systems we have, the engineer involved also has inspection responsibilities. Periodic Checks: Make sure they are periodically inspected, maintained, and repaired as necessary. comment: mere is no required periodic inspection of septic systems. As with building inspections, septic inspections take place primarily at times of new construction, remodeling, real estate transactions, and complaints. The Health Department recommends that septic tanks be pumped every 3-5 years. There is not any Rappahannock County or State requirement that this be done. Anytime we see or hear about a system that requires maintenance and/or repairs, the homeowners are guided through the process to get it done. Also, when an existing house is sold, there is no government requirement to have the septic system inspected. Lenders frequently do require a certification, and some sale contracts require it. Location: The regulatory agency is aware of the location of the systems Comment: The Virginia Department of Health, via the Rappahannock County Health Department, is aware of the general location of systems permitted in the county, and also of others that have had reason to be located, e.g., they required repair and/or certification for a real estate transaction. Record keeping and compliance with permitting requirements has improved a great deal over the last 25 years or so. Prior to that, things were a little sketchy, as permits were more generic, if they were applied for at all. For the past six years the Health Department has routinely done an "as built" sketch of the location of the septic tank and distribution box on all new systems. This is helpful down the road if anyone needs to locate these items, either for maintenance, or if they are planning on expanding either the system or the house or both. The older the system, the less helpful our records are likely to be, primarily because all we have on systems older than six years are permits that were drawn before the work was done. Operation and Maintenance; The regulatoiy agency periodically provides owners with operation and maintenance information. Comment: The Rappahannock County Health Department provides information at the time a septic systems is constructed and/or certified, and of course, anytime anyone asks. The above summarizes the current situation in Rappahannock County on wastewater treatment management of conventional septic systems. Another question at the start was whether we should worry about anything. A universal concern is that failed or failing septic systems have not PICK UP YOUR CIRCULAR Packed With Gt eat Savings in Every Department!

One high-tech answer is the use of aerial photographic techniques developed by EPA to identify and document septic system performance. A flyover with photographic imaging equipment using color and infrared color film, when leaves sire off the trees and seasonal high-water table conditions prevail, can detect vegetative growth-stress-death patterns. Proper analysis can pick out a failed or failing septic system. This is a costly approach. Another universal technique is a complaint by someone about a homeowner's failing onsite sewage disposal system that is backing up in a house, or is discharging untreated or partially treated effluent on the ground surface, into surface waters, or into ground waters. The Board of Health then follows a lengthy procedure involving notices, orders, hearings, and compliance; and if no compliance ensues, a further injunction or other legal processes, including civil penalty or criminal action, are initiated. Is what Rappahannock County is doing about the management of the conventional septic systems in the county a big deal? Look at it this way. Conventional septic systems have been in use in the United States for well over half a century, replacing primitive cesspools and privies. They are not complicated and function well if homeowners manage them properly. Unfortunately, most homeowners are lax about the man agement of their septic systems. Over the last twenty-five year, new technology in the form of altemative/innovative septic systems has been coming into increasing use for particular situations. And decentralized cluster and "package” wastewater treatment facilities are being used in more densely populated suburban and rural areas. They are much more complicated and require a higher degree of management. State and local governments, as well as a number of national organizations, are working on refining model regulations related to the registration, licensing, certification, inspection, and other issues brought about by these alternative/innovative septic systems as well as decentralized sys terns. One thing is for sure. More education of the public on proper wastewater treatment management is needed to assure water quality and public health standards are continually met. Editor's Note: On Monday, July 25, there will be a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and the Town Council to review the pre-final draft of the Comprehensive Plan. The public is encouraged to attend this meeting as it will be one of the last opportunities for the public to comment before a vote is taken. Paralleling conversations of the updated Comprehensive Plan have been ongoing discussions about the size of the future wastewater treatment facility.

Smokey’s Back...as if he ever went anywhere Swimming Bear We have a little cabin at the head cl Clark Hollow, which some folks call Bean Hollow (more on that later)! It's at the end of the road, up against the Shenandoah National Park, just beyond the old Adaway Clark home place. Bears are relatively common there, as you would expect. One evening last summer, Linda and I were sitting on the front porch of the cabin, having just finished dinner. It was probably 7:30 or 8:00There is a small frog pond about 30 yards from the mountain end of the cabin. Out of the woods surrounding the pond walked a black bear. My guess would be he was 200 pounds, maybe 225. He was full grown, but was still a bit lanky and long legged. It had been very hot that day and, for all the world, you would have thought this was a kid sneaking into some neighbors' swimming pool. > The bear looked things over, then walked into the water, until he had to raise his head a bit to keep it out of the water. Then, he stood up on his- hind feet, and just like a kid, jumped into the deeper water in the middle of the pond. Then, he wpuld paddle a few strokes and stand up again, look around, and do it again, sometimes making a little "woof noise when he jumped, and sometimes raising his front legs up into the air before he jumped. Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com We watched in absolute amazement. After his play time, he walked out of the pond and into the trees. Wi had been quiet as we watched him in the water, and remained that way as we exchanged grins and puzzled looks. Then he came back. He walked straight back into the water, splashed around a little more, and got out a second time. This time, he did not go back into the woods, but walked behind and parallel to a small rock wall that Linda had built to separate the yard from the forest. Scratching Bear When he got over next to the driveway, he turned and half walked over and half walked through the rock wall. That is, he knocked a hole in it. Truth be told, it is not a terribly rigid or thick rock wall, and certainly not very high. He had apparently done this before, as Linda often has to repair a broken place in her "fence." Then, we thought he was going to cross the Jordan River, and we got out of our chairs and eased over to the other end of the porch. But the A ^ M 0 ******* W A I #r I® III I ll !; I; I!! 1 § }!

Within the past few years, we have added electricity to the cabin, and there is a utility pole just on the other side of the driveway, no more than 30 feet from the river end of the cabin. The bear walked straight to the, pole, raised up on his hind legs and began to claw and rake at the pole with his front claws. It made a loud, cracking sound as he pulled huge splinters from the wooden pole. We were standing there, at the railing, not 30 feet away, watching this fellow rip the heck out of the utility pole. Then, he got back on all fours and backed up against the pole and rubbed his hind end against it, quite vigorously. Next, he started back down the driveway, stopped, turned around, went back to the pole, and scratched and rubbed it some more. Finally, he stopped and went back down the driveway about 20 yards, and then turned and went down the Barbecue safely this summer Summer has finally arrived for everyone.

All in all, we had watched this young fellow for over 30 minutes. After he left, we went out to the pole, to see why it looked darker where he had rubbed against it. It was simply wet. Some of the claw marks were about as high as I could reach, and I'm 6 feet tall. Later, I noticed that several other utility poles looked as though they had been treated the same way. I had an opportunity to talk to one of the linesmen with Allegheny Power, and he told me that every pole that they put up in that area, surrounded by forest, gets scratched and clawed and torn up by the bears, and he said that the bears often tear off the pole number tags that the men place on them for identification. Certainly, many animals mark their territory. Cats do it. Dogs do it. People do it. I see little reason not to believe that bears do the same thing. I also wohder if the creosote smell is an attractant, or if they have learned that it is helpful in keeping away flies and insects. Don't know about that. I do know that we have been entertained many times by the bears and the other animals around the cabin. And often awed by their actions and antics. Bad Bear This happened last summer. Last week we were at the cabin to pick up a planting pot, and while checking out the new blooms on the butterfly bush adjacent to the utility pole, we noticed that the pole had fresh scratches on it. An apple tree that I planted almost 10 years ago, and built a cage around, had also been destroyed, and limbs tom completely off. We checked the pond, and the evidence clearly suggests we are dealing with a recidivist bear. Get Well Soon Two of our favorite people in Flint Hill are on the get well list. Mabel Lillard fell and fractured her ankle, and Ellen Welch fell and broke her pelvic bone. Please keep these two special ladies in your hearts and in your prayers, until we can get them back to their old routines. And, finally,... Carnival Time Don't forget about the Flint Hill carnival which will be next week, Wednesday through Saturday nights, July 27 through 30. Please come and enjoy the food, the music, the games, the rides, the parade, and have some fun and see your old friends and make some new ones. Our fire and rescue volunteers are there when we need them. Let's demonstrate our support for all their hard work, and have a good time doing it. Help us make this Flint Hill carnival the best ever. Just do it! Until next time, stay well, and if you get up close and personal with some of nature's bigger creatures, be beary, beary careful. infection usually appear two to four days after exposure. The illness often causes diarrhea and stomach cramps, may include vomiting, fever, and chills. An ill person can spread the disease to others for three weeks or more, so good hygiene is also important to prevent this disease. To serve summer feast with everything, except E.coli, here are some tips to follow: Never eat rare or under cooked ground beef. Ground beef is safe to eat once it has been cooked to an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees or at least until the juices of the meat run absolutely clear - not pink. Use a grill thermometer to ensure your meat is done. Also remember that outdoor grills may not distribute heat evenly so extra precautions should be taken to ensure that hamburgers, especially frozen patties, are well done before serving. Washington \ Jan Clattertauck f 675-3338 |jclattert>uck@ timespapers.com Always refrigerate meat products. Never leave raw meats at room temperature.

Such poetry is characterized as graceful, natural, and neutral emotion adhering to religious teachings. It should not mention the fact of death directly, but may make metaphoric suggestions about such things as sunsets and falling cherry blossoms. The poem can be written and rewritten, well in advance of death, to reflect he changing conditions of a person’s life. A death poem sometimes takes on the aspect of a will, reconciling differences between people. It was also an ancient custom in Japan for people to compose a death verse (“jisci”) on their deathbeds. Both forms of poetry serve as means of deep reflection. The prospect of death brings reflection and a time to heal wounds in families. At the Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we urge you to consider prearrangements as Lan act of love to your family. Call us at 347-3431 to set up an appointment. “Don’t grieve.

Cowherd Memorial Scholarship, which was established in honor of Army Second Lieutenant Leonard M. Cowherd, III, a Wakefield Country Day School (WCDS) graduate who died May 16, 2004, in Iraq while in the service of his country. The scholarship covers tuition costs, excluding books and fees, for a boy or girl student to attend the Prep School (grades 9 - 12). Mr. Cowherd was a 1999 graduate of Wakefield Country Day School and a 2003 graduate of The United States Military Academy at West Point. He was a young leader who, as a high school student, exemplified the attributes of commitment, hard work, ethics, and academic achievement, and went on to serve his country with distinction and valor. Leonard was a first honors student who, among other things, played lacrosse, soccer, cross-country, and basketball, appeared in the annual school plays, was Vice President of the Student GoVjemment in his senior year, JClass Salutatorian, and a member of the Junior Classical League. On Veteran’s j Day 2004, WCDS named its' auditorium in Leonard’s honor; and former United States Senator Charles Robb presided over the dedication ceremony, during which time the establishment of the scholarship was announced. The intent of this scholarship is to identify individuals who exemplify the character traits exhibited by Leonard Cowherd and also to help others learn about him and honor his memory. A recipient of this award must maintain a second honors average throughout the academic year and perform a minimum of 20 hours of community service. According to Kathleen Grove, Wakefield Country Day School’s Head of School, selection will be based upon an essay written and submitted by the applicants on how they see themselves in relation to the mission of the school - which includes character development, courtesy and a strong sense of honor - and to Cowherd himself.

MO You may not recognize the term GERD but you may know some of its symptoms. GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease is commonly known as "acid reflux." Once this chronic condition is triggered, it's likely to be a lifelong problem. A new procedure available at Culpeper Regional Hospital can help diagnose this condition safely and accurately.^ The Medtronic BRAVO™ pH Monitoring System is a tiny radio-transmitting capsule that monitors acid levels in the esophagus. Once in place, the capsule transmits data up to 48 hours to a pager-sized receiver worn on a belt. The capsule is disposable and is passed naturally within a few days. "The BRAVO™ system is a much more comfortable way to diagnose GERD," says Elizabeth Bush, MD, gastroenterologist. "The capsules can give patients accurate diagnoses without restricting their daily routines."

a. nrrami rar^--,. Campers had fun learning all about pond life and ecology. aarntraesTm a Photos by David Massie By David Massie Special to the Rappahannock News There was a hollow filled with busyness and smiles in Sperryville during June where a group olf enthusiastic campers just completed a two-v^ek Nature Camp. Sponsored annually by jhe Piedmont Environmental Council and Hearthstone School, the camp, provided for area youngsters to learn first-hand about nature. Long time resident and arborist, Lyt Wood directed this year’s camp which included 24 campers ranging in age from eight to twelve years. Wood was assisted by Trista Scheuer and created various crafts out of bamboo. The children also learned how to recognize patterns found in nature - like the intricate geometric shapes that a honeycomb forms. They also studied stream and pond ecology, and collected “critters” to put in aquariums made by the campers. Learning started on the first day when campers were asked to save any leftovers from lunches so that they could start a compost pile which would decay into rich soil. The campers also learned about botany, and made natural water colors which they ’used to paint pictures. Week 2 The second week was just as action packed and exciting as the first. Campers went on a hike known as the “Hazel River Hike,” where they learned about bugs with the “Bug Man” Scott Tester, and picked wild berries which they used to make homemade ice cream. The campers studied reptiles and amphibians, chose their perspective camp sites for a Thursday night campout, and worked on various projects. During their many camp adventures, the children were encouraged to record their experiences for a camp newspaper. Unfortunately, on their campout night, they were unable to see the stars due to cloudy skies, so instead they told spooky ghost stories to pass the time. Each afternoon, the campers put bait in a cage to see what wild critters they could catch. They were surprised and delighted to wake on a Friday morning to find an opossum in their cage which had been baited with shrimp. Visitors came to the final day of camp to see a variety of presentations including a turtle race, exhibits, a tour of the camp, and an awards ceremony. This writer was able to watch the turtle iuiii wnu jms uuun nunchoing the school’s Farm-ToiTable program. Other counselors included Kara Corbin, j^nna Oehser, and Alex Purnell. Vlieekl Each day started with an opportunity for the campers to tell of any observations they made about nature. The responses ranged from seeing deer in backyards to hummingbirds outside of windows. During the first week, campers learned about beekeeping with Kathy Miller, how wool is spun and processed into yarn with Susan Peterson, Campers take a break at this year's annual Nature Camp sponsored by the Piedmont Environmental Council and Hearthstone School. race, which was very . exciting. The fastest turtle and winner of the race was an Eastern Painted Box turtle named “Puddles.” “We are one big ecosystem,” stated an elated Lyt Wood as he - told the parents how ! much he enjoyed hold- '. ing the camps each ; summer. After the final I inspection of the ; campsite, the campers gathered their belong- ; ings and headed home. ; Without a doubt, the campers and counselors both had a great time and can’t wait until next summer so that they can. return to Nature camp. » - ‘ J Photo and research by Richard Lykes Recent visitor Nature lovers have been admiring a rarely seen moth Mitzi Young has been proudly showing off around town. Young recently found this strikingly-beautiful moth sitting on the sidewalk. To save it from someone stepping on it, she picked it up and brought the intricately colored insect home where it has been living for the past week. The moth seemed so unusual that Young asked the Rappahannock News to photograph and help ascertain its name. Research of hundreds of moths studied by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Moths of North America revealed the beautiful white and biack circle-spotted moth to be a “Great Leopard Moth,” (Hypercompe scribonia). Its form resembles a supersonic plane; its coloration looks like a black and white leopard, http //www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/distr/lepid/moths/usa/1927.htm All-female paper wasp colony No males around: Mothers, daughters and sisters rule Remember how Noah was commanded to build an ark and put into it all living things, two of every sort? There is an implicit assumption in this—that a male and a female are required for perpetuation of any species. But for many organisms males are fare or nonexistent. Can you think of any? Chances are you saw some this summer as you sprayed the aphids on your roses or bombed the wasp nests on your house. These insects are entirely female—no males.

B. Wheeler USEF National Breeding Championship, for See TRADITION, Page B5 Wasps From Page B1 the same. Males are almost never observed in aphid or wasp colonies, and when you do see them it’s for a distressingly (for them) short period of time and for one purpose only—mating. Then they disappear. Paper wasps (Polistes spp.) build the familiar honeycombed, papier-mach6 nests you find on your house every summer. They are members of an insect order (Hymenoptera) that includes bees, wasps, hornets, and ants. All hymenopterans are haplodiploid, which means that fertilized eggs with two sets of chromosomes (diploid) develop into females and unfertilized eggs (haploid) develop into males. The paper wasps you see in the early spring are all fertilized females (queens) that spent the winter in sheltered crevices (some on your house) using fat stored the previous fall. They build nests and lay fertilized eggs that hatch into sterile females. These daughters remain at the nest all season and help the queen raise sisters. Sisters defend the nest, feed and care for the young and increase the size of the nest as the queen lays more and more eggs. If food ■»=— = RAPPNATURE Sara and Jim Lawny is plentiful and they avoid being sprayed, they can produce a sizable nest during the summer. Hundreds of paper wasps—all female Things change in the fall, however. The queen begins to lay unfertilized eggs that develop into males; fertile females are also produced. The males do no defending (they are stingless) or any other work around the nest. Instead, they spend their time eating and searching for females to mate with. Around the nests, the orderly activities observed during the summer months deteriorate as the newly emerged fertile females concentrate on mating and starting their own nests. Both males and females spend most of their time eating and storing up energy for the long winter months ahead. Many die during the winter (all the males die), but some fertilized females survive to begin the cycle again next spring. Attack of the female clones How about aphids? The aphids you see on your flowers are also all female. But the reasons are different. Females typically hatch from fertilized eggs in the spring and begin to produce offspring. In most species, this is done parthenogenetically—the females clone themselves, producing genetically identical live daughters without eggs or participation of males. The asexual daughters (no eggs) also reproduce parthenogenetically, usually within a few days after birth, resulting in prodigious supplies of female aphids in a short time. Under ideal conditions (unlimited food and no predators or bug spray), one cabbage aphid could theoretically produce 1,560,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000 clones in one growing season. All female In most species, males and sexual females (with eggs) are produced at the end of the growing season. But both male and female aphids are diploid and cloned by their moms. Males lack one of the two sex chromo somes that females lave. Males and females mate aid fertilized eggs are laid at the end of the growing season. Next spring, females hatch out «f eggs and start cloning themselves again. Some aphids hive accomplished a female FullMonty and gotten rid of males (and eggs) entirely. These populations consist of parthenogenetic females that produce only asexual daughters all the time. At the end of the season, nymphs hunker down and overwinter as best they can. No males, are known. AD of which begs the question: are males necessary? Couldn’t all species simply adopt this aphid strategy and drop males out of the picture entirely? As you can imagine, the answer you get depends on whom you ask. Theorists have complicated and thoughtful answers for and against, so you can take your pick depending on your prejudices. In reality, though, males seem to be doing pretty well in most species whether they’re necessary or not. And we all know that human males are needed for a few things, like spraying the aphids and knocking down the wasp nests. We welcome your comments on this or anything else natural pliilosophical.

Shopping at yard sales Is a popular pastime, appealing to our human nature and desire to accumulate more and more possessions, especially at a bargain price. The strange thing is that we sometimes end up buying something because it was too good a bargain to pass up. It can escape us completed that we have little need for the “treasured object”. Are wT acquiring these treasures that clutter up our homes and lives because we are really looking for more meaning in our life? In collecting objects of dubious value, are we overlooking gifts of much greater value? If life is really to be worth living, we need more than earthly possessions. We need to seek the values that will bring us closer to God and “...store up ...treasures hi heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy.” (Matthew 6:20) These values can be found in God's teachings; they can be discovered in our chosen house of worship. Best of all, God’s values are a real bargain; they are free to anyone w ho seeks them!

Ancient art of Tai chi teaches us to know our bodies _ ...——— ■■ ■■ ■ ■ b\ JAN CLATTKRBIVK Special to the Rappahannock News Shana Salehi is doing just that - releasing stress through movements that allow her to get connected with her inner self in her own body. Tai chi’s ancient rhythms allow you to feel free and get connected with not only your own body but integrating yourself with the entire world at large. Salehi studied Tai chi in Northern Va. then later took training in Beijing, China, where she studied acupuncture as well. Her husband and daughter are martial arts experts, but Salehi’s interest in Tai chi stems from lingering pain from severe injuries she sustained earlier in life. Tai chi has helped her recovery and now Salehi wants to teach these techniques to others in the hope that it will helop them as well. Maybe some of us have caught a glimpse of Tai chi’s stork-like movements on television and in the movies, but have no idea what it is all about.

Then one day si fu said “This world needs no holders, to breathe and relax bony little shoulders”...so I did. A Tai chi poem (from 2000 years ago) Kung Fu, and is known as an internal martial art or Chinese energy dance. Tai chi is the moving form of qigong (qigong is sitting or standing and Tai chi is all standing and moving. Salehi finds that the ancient Oriental discipline is good for relieving stress and anger. Tai chi can improve posture, strengthen the nervous system and benefit the connective tissues, tendon, muscles, and circulation, and it could improve the health of the elderly. ‘'Our mind becomes calm, breathing deepens, muscles relax and toning makes it very efficient exercise. Since Tai chi chi reduces stress, it slows the aging process as well,” said Salehi. The illnesses caused by an imbalance of qidife energy) and the aim of Tai chi are to ensure the smooth flow of qi through the body. It can also be of benefit to the restoration of health after patients are cured of their illness. It can mold the temperament of ah angry or hyper person. Tai chi has many styles: Cheng style (soft and expulsive move); Yang is more soft with very few explosive moves (this style is the most common in the west and third one is WUstyle. They also do it with a weapon: sword, spear, broad sword. Beginning students will start with a lot of low-impact warm-up exercises and prac tice their breathing techniques. Salehi will begin offering clases this Saturday, July 23, from 8 to 9 a.m. at the Mountain Cafe in Sperryville. It will be to introduce Tai chi, take registrations and learn about Chinese functional foods based on Yin Yang and their healing properties. Salehi will hold her classes in the morning for a reason. “It’s good to practice Tai chi early in the morning where the universal qi of earth and heaven can join with the body’s internal qi. Before we start, we need to empty our mind, do meditation, deep breathing and grounding of ourself,” Salehi said.

Housing grant to help disabled Rapidan Better Housing nas been awarded $15,000 from the Department of Rehabilitative Services to help provide health and safety home repairs to persons with sensory or physical disabilities. To qualify, the person needing the repair must live in Orange, Madison, or Rappahannock Counties, and be low or moderate income. During the past year, Rapidan Better Housing helped 35 persons with sensory or physical disabilities with ramps, grab bars, other bathroom accessibility issues, strobe light smoke detectors, and other repairs directly related to the disability of the person served. According to C. Reid, the Program Coordinator for Rapidan Better Housing, there is a growing need for this kind of home repair. “Our community is getting older, we’re all living longer, and with that comes an increased need for the kind of repairs that will let us stay in our own homes safely.” If you or someone you know has a physical or sensory disability and needs a related home repair, call Cindy Reid at Rapidan Better Housing, (540) 948-3274 for more information.
