This is a concern that has even managed to filter down into Rappahannock County, as illustrated by the Rappahannock Rapidan Elder Care Coalition forum held in Washington in June. Now tinder new management, the Jackson House Assisted Living Facility in Boston is one way for residents to ease those concerns. The Jackson House was recently purchased and redecorated by a Maryland couple, Charity and Violet Sillero, who are both registered nurses. Charity Sillero is in his fifteenth year in the nursing profession, and Violet Sillero works in long term care and rehab. They came to Rappahannock County in part because they heard about the need for more elder care services in the region. “We talked with locals and the locals were telling us there was a need and an opportunity,” explained Charity. One of the ways locals communicated this need was at the various elder care forums held in the area in recent months. At the forums, seniors and health advocates See JACKSON, Page A2 GLASS HALF FULL: Left, Resident Gladys Flippo enjoys a cool drink.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Monty Tayloe Chappell urges overthe-counter reforms By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer At Tuesday's meeting of the Rappahannock County School Board, Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell asked the board for authorization to lobby our state delegate and senator in Richmond to sponsor legislation restricting access to abusable over the counter medications. “Where I've been superintendent previously, this has been an issue. Young people can get access very easily. It can be a real issue, and that's why I want to make it more difficult to get them off the shelf. Numerous states have passed such legislation. It wouldn't ban such over-thecounter cold medicines, but put them behind the counter, limiting access. The problems stemming from these medicines are two-fold. Those with the anti-histamine pseudo-ephedrine can be used as a raw ingredient for speed. But also, kids abuse other cough medicines just as they are. Putting them behind the counter would prevent shoplifting or obviously inappropriate purchasing of these abusable medicines. Construction update - possible delays? Chappell briefed the board on progress with elementary school roof and electrical work, saying that work was 70-75 percent complete, but noting that recent heavy rains have resulted in a second bout of flooding within the school. There was some minor damage, and repair is already underway. With the clock ticking before the scheduled beginning of the school year, this minor delay was a concern for Chappell and the board. Barring any untoward events, Chappell said construction should end in time for - Meetings & Notices • County Planning Commission meeting cancelled for August 17. • On Monday, August 22 the Town of Washington will hold a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and the Town Council at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall on Gay Street to review the final draft of the Comprehensive Plan.

But in light of the tight time frame, he recommended “looking at contingency dates” as a matter of prudence. (See related .article, Chappell’s Comer, for the latest information) Recruiters tactics Along with offers to improve SAT scores and information on financial aid, high school students nationwide are also getting information about joining the military. Chappell noted that President Bush’s No Child Left Behind includes a mandate that schools suddIv the telephone numbers and addresses of high school juniors to the military for recruitment efforts. However, parents may opt out of this if they choose, and Chappell announced that opt out procedures will be published in the next school system newsletter. Cost controls Chappell discussed a number of measures the school, system is taking to ensure efficient cost controls within the schools, ranging from evaluating the class size of elective courses, using more electronic data and less paper to the school's website's forum for cost cutting suggestions. He noted that the school has managed to come in under budget and return $214,000 and $71,000 last year See BOARD, Page A2 Two for the road By Anita L. Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer With the election of a new governor just 90 days away, the race between Lieutenant Governor Tim Kaine and former Attorney General Jerry Kilgore is heating up v ith more public debates planned, more visits to Virginia counties and endless hand shaking. The campaigning will continue until (final votes jure cast in November. Enter on the scene, one bright, enthusiastic and totally committed lady in the person of Marty Kilgore, Jerry Kilgore's wife of nearly 15 years. “I decided that I wanted to join my husband's campaign on a full time basis,” said Kilgore who stopped in Washington on Tuesday as the first stop of that day’s agenda. Kilgore recently resigned from serving as the Executive Director of the Tobacco Settlement Foundation, a state agency that educates children to make healthy choices through a statewide effort to reduce and prevent the use of tobacco products by youth in Virginia. “I believe in Jerry's positive vision for Virginia,” said Kilgore, “and I want to help spread the word about what a great governor he would be.” Kilgore has her heart in the campaign as well as a head for education issues. A third-generation school teacher, Kilgore is a former teacher in the Scott County public school system. “Both my mother and grandmother were teachers,” smiled Kilgore who just that morning learned that their daughter, Kelsey, had been accepted into the fourth grade advanced math program., “I was thrilled to hear that,” said Kilgore who said there is no question that the SOL's (Standards of Learning) have helped to raise the bar for educational standards statewide. “I'd like to be very active in education matters. They are veiy important to me,” continued Kilgore. “The SOL's have forced everybody - students and teachers - to work harder. Part of Jerry Kilgore's platform includes educational proposals that would focus not only on student achievement but quality and accountability of teachers as well. “Jerry's got his three R's - recruitment, retention and reward,” said Kilgore who knows what a highly valued commodity a good teacher in the system can be in helping students achieve more. “I know it's an issue,” continued Kilgore. “People are worried about teachers teaching to the test and what's going on in education. I believe in Jerry's plan for recruiting better teachers by paying and rewarding them more. It raises the bar all around.” Like her husband, Kilgore believes that the major issue facing the new governor will be transportation issues and coming up with solutions to tackle the gridlock that is facing not only Northern Virginia but other areas of the state. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jan Clatterbuck Martha “Marty” Kilgore is now campaigning full-time for her husband's election as the next Governor of Virginia Deciding to walk the walk of a full-time campaigner was a decision that wasn't hard for .Marty Kilgore. “I wouldn’t do this if I weren't a people person,” laughed Kilgore who had just recently attended a Harley Davidson event. “I really enjoy getting out and See KILGORE, Page A2 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Bill Kossler At ease President Sharon Pierce and Susan Strittmatter representing the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance presented Rappahannock Board of Supervisors Chairman Charles “Pete” Estes with a check for $15,000 at' tast Monday's meeting.

I believe that he vail make a great governor.” For Kilgore, her husband’s running for governor is a family affair. ' We often take the children with us," said Kilgore. “We're all in this together.” The Kilgores have two children - 12-year-old Klarke and 9-year-old Kelsey. Both children play travel soccer and Kilgore admitted to the same delight as many “soccer moms.” "I want to know about their coaches, making the team, doing their best,” said Kilgore. “It's a lot of fun watchng them play.” In the daily act of juggling priorities, Kilgore sees her efforts as not only supporting Iter husband but supporting a candidate that she feels is the best for the job. “Mary is really the greatest asset I have,” said Jerry Kilgore. “I always joke with her that she generates more support and enthusiasm at political events than any candidate ever has. We both consider this effort important to our family.” Kilgore spent some time in Washington visiting several of the retail stores before her next stop - Brown's ChineseAmerican restaurant in Luray and then it would be on to Madison County before heading home where she and Jerry will often compare notes of where they've been and who’ve they've talked with and how things have gone. “It's a big state and there are are a lot of counties and a lot of ground to cover,” admitted Kilgore. “It's exciting, I'm happy to be doing this,” said Kilgore. “I just take it a day at a time, a week at a time.” Anita Sherman may be reached at asherman@timespapers.com Board i From Page A1 [ weeks Board of Supervisors meeting, Chappell said he would look into alternative metal building manufacturers, and at this school board meeting, he reported that he has done so, and with County Administrator John McCarthy, determined that it would not likely realize any savings. At the end of Chappell s discussion of cost cutting, Piedmont representative and Vice Chair Aline Johnson declared. "I want the public to know we don't pull money out of a hat. We could have easily spent all that money" (rather than coming in under budget and returning $270,000). We spend our money wisely and for the best interest of our children, and I hope the public would feel that way as well." , In other matters, Chairman Wesley Mills reported on the ongoing planning for a new regional governor's school. Several counties are involved in making this a reality. Young Grant, New Class Trista Scheuerlein, head of the successful Farm-to-Table program, accompanied by Mitzi Young, reported to the board on her new exploratory horticultural class for sixth and seventh graders, begun thanks to a grant from the Young Farmland Preservation Foundation.

The construction crew worked all that night to vacuum up the water from the kitchen area and back hall. Those are the areas where the old roof had been removed and the new roof was still in progress. The contractor has told us that if weather cooperates t’-.e rest of this week, the roof shoui 1 be completed by the end of the weekend. I have asked the contractor to quickly remove any damaged carpet, to make repairs to the kitchen ceiling per instructions of the project engineer, to use electric heat to dry out the affected interior area of the school, and to use a licensed sub-contractor to abate any damaged asbestos tile. as oi touay, August iu we are still pushing to achieve the Aug. 29 opening of school. The School Board’s facilities committee and I will meet this Monday or IViesday (8/15 or 8/16) to make a final decision about whether to start on time or make a change. If the kitchen is not ready to use when we open, we will have the RCES cafeteria staff use packaged food for breakfasts and prepare lunches (primarily sandwiches) at the highschool kitchen. In rooms where carpet and tile are removed, we may put the furniture back on concrete to start the year and wait to install tile at a later date. RCPS Initiatives to Save Money. Throughout my eleven years as Superintendent in three school districts a major focus has been to determine whether there are ways to reduce expenditures in operational areas so that saved funds can be applied to improvement of teacher salaries. At the conclusion of two years as Superintendent of the RCPS, I do not feel there is fat in the budget. A major reduction in administrative positions was handled two months before my arrival in July 2003. I inherited a lean budget from the School Board and my predecessor, a tradition we have continued. Following are cost reduction initiatives since July 1, 2003: We have begun a paperwork reduction process to encourage more electronic communication and electronic storage of documents that may result in reduced costs for paper and reduction of staff time in document reproduction and filing. It is too early to quantify savings, but we don’t expect the savings to be in the tens of thousands at this stage. Principals, the RCPS Finance Department, other school employees, the School Board and I managed the FY04 and FY05 budgets in a responsible manner, including obtaining competitive quotes for most major purchases. This resulted in returning $71,000 (FY04) and $214,000 (FY05) in unspent tax dollars to the county at the end of the two years. We take pride in the fact that we have been responsible stewards of the tax dollars the Board of Supervisors entrusted to us to spend for the education of Rappahannock Children. In 2004 we have placed a form on our website (http^/rappahannock.kl2.va.usVSuggesti onForm.pdf and in the RCPS Employee Handbook for employees and community members to make cost-saving suggestions to the Superintendent. I have received one suggestion to date that did not result in any savings. Measures we are looking at for the future to determine if there are additional ways to save money: We will evaluate the class sizes in elective courses to make sure that there is reasonable utilization of the offerings by students. I am contacting the Commonwealth of Virginia to explore a State pilot program that provides a team of budget experts to review school division procedures and expenditures to determine if funds earn be saved. I will ask the Division Leadership Team (DLT) for suggestions to reduce costs. So far, the DLT (a product of the Effective Schools movement) has focused on implementing the Strategic Plan to improve programs for children. The improvements recommended by the DLI and adopted in the budget process to date have resulted in a slight expansion in budget costs. These improvements were all justified. After all, our mission is to provide schools that are “second to none” for our children. Note: Our Tfeachers at experience steps 0-25 are among the least well paid in our area. I will propose that any savings we achieve through cost cutting measures be plowed into increasing employee salaries and fringe benefits. This next item does not necessarily reduce costs, but has the potential to increase revenue from non-local sources. We will continue to consider requests for admission of tuitionstudents who live in other counties. Tuition currently is over $7,100 per non resident student. There were four last year. We anticipate at least six for 2005 06. Each non-resident tuitionpaying student enrolled results in over $9,000 in additional revenues including the tuition payment and State per/pupil funding. If we ensure that admission of tuition students doesn’t result in the need to hire more personnel, the increase in tuition funding may supplement local contributions to public education. In a mutter related to saving taxpayer dollars, it should also be noted that in the days following the August 1 Board of Supervisors’ meeting I suggested to county officials that we hold a meeting with representatives from the School Board and Board of Supervisors present to discuss the cost of the new Auxiliary Gym and alternatives suggested by County officials to reduce costs. At tne supervisors meeung I had been asked to explore whether an alternative construction process to build the new Auxiliary Gym would be less expensive than the $1.2 million dollars the School Board voted to approve for Lantz Construction to construct the gym. A county official notified me later that week that the alternative process he investigated would cost about the same as the amount we had already agreed to spend on the gym. As a result, County officials told me they did not feel the suggested meeting of representatives of the two boards was necessary. Finally, we are always interested in hearing suggestions on how taxpayer dollars may be saved. Members of the public are welcome at any time at my office at 6 Schoolhouse Road, Washington, VA.

The facility has actually been in operation in the county since 2000, run by Boston resident David Gillis, but the Silleros have made some changes. As part of the salje of Jackson House, Gillis relicensed the facility from six beds to eight, and the Silleros have redone the house in bright colors, with maroon couches and floral prints. There s even a piano, cheerfully played by Charity for residents and guests. Charity and Violet share a sense of humor and optimism that they hope will add to the upbeat and colorful decor of their recent redecorating and make the Jackson House a comfortable and inviting alternative. The Silleros are quick to differentiate between Jackson House Assisted Living and a nursing home. “Assisted living is something between institutionalized living and home life,” explained Violet. In a traditional nursing home, the residents are totally dependent on the care of the orderlies and nurses working there. Many of the residents in these homes are completely bedridden. In contrast, assisted living homes emphasize the independence of their residents. “It's basically doing what you want, plus help,” explained Charity. . This emphasis on individulaized care and attention does mean that Jackson House has to screen prospective patients to make sure that they are suited to that independence. If a senior is interested in living at Jackson House they would be interviewed and evaluated by the Silleros. Residents will live in the Jackson House under 24-hour staff supervision, with their laundry and meals provided for and their medicine administered by professionals. There will be some organized activities but residents would mostly be allowed to do as they did at home. \ v-— /67C/lb l Peaches Pick Your Own } 540-364-3605 We hav, S rarieties Grown under the modern high density hedgerow system 'Crescent Peach Orchard Marshall, VA.

Father Patrick comes to Rappahannock A Kenyan priest visited Sperryville and left his audience spellbound with stories of faraway peoples and ancient beliefs and his personal journey as a missionary „ By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer Father Patrick Wanakuta Baraza, a Kenyan bom Catholic priest and friend of area resident Ann Georgia McCaffray and Central Coffee's Maggie Rogers, was in town visiting his friends here, and was persuaded to tell a few stories about his life and experiences. He spoke recently at the Central Coffee Roasters in Sperryville. Father Baraza is retiring from missionary work, and heading out west for a teaching position. Parishioners at St. Peter's may have seen and met him when he joined Father Robert DeMartino in several concelebrations of mas* While it was a Catholic priest speaking, the event was both a secular event and an ecumenical outreach. Eclectic mix An eclectic selection of Rappahannockans turned out to hear what this visitor had to say. The Reverend Phillip Bailey of Washington Baptist was there, and led a brief public prayer at the outset, asking God to help all of us in our own journey of love. Several folks from his congregation came, including Supervisor Roger Welch, and his wife Geneva. Numerous artists and folks representing uie alternative community were in evidence, as well as a number of young twenty-something men and women, including several interns at Waterpenny Farm. Some came because it sounded interesting; a Kenyan priest, with stories of a very different life far away. Some came because they were attracted to some notion of a primal connection to nature to be found in an African holy man who has spent years ministering way out amongst nomads. Some came to see a fellow Christian, a missionary with tales of carrying the Word to the farthest reaches of the world. Most likely many were there for several or all of these reasons at once. Ecumenical event Religiouslv it was an ecumenical event; a reaching out of the hands in friendship to other faiths and to other people. And socially it was a reaching out, a meeting of the minds in that very old liberal tradition of celebrating the outsider. The stories Father Baraza told, and the message he wove within them echoed that broad minded sentiment and sympathy for mankind as well. He told a simple story. It was the story of his own life, and what he's been doing. In that story was the appeal and joy of hearing about a life that is staftlingly different from our own, but at the same time, in his relations to people, in all the important matters of life, just like us. Like all good stories, his were not exactly what anyone expected, or imagined they might be. What's in a name? After telling the audience, “I have come here not to teach you but to learn from you,” Father Baraza began by telling the group the story of his own name. He told us that Patrick, is of course, his Christian name. But as for his other two names: “A baby is named for what is happening when he is bom. I was bom on a Monday. In my community people meet on Mondays to discuss issues, and this is “Baraza.” “Baraza” is the Swahili word for an assembly, or meeting. So, this very event where Baraza spoke was itself a baraza. Baraza went on: “When a child cries, for whatever reason, because it wants to eat, or whatever, mothers will come and sit and start counting the names of the ancestors and when there comes a time when they mention a name and a child sneezes, that is the name of the child. I sneezed at “Wanakuta.” Violence in Sudan , Baraza then spoke of recent events in the Sudan. The Sudan, he reminded listeners, borders Kenya to the west. Most Americans know about the violence there, that the word genocide' has been tentatively raised by public figures and then danced around and gingerly avoided. Fewer Americans know about the long civil war between the North and South Sudan. “Since 1956, when the British left the Sudan, there have been more than three million dead. After we signed a peace accord, (completed very recently) last night Vice President John Garang (Southern Vice President of the Sudan) was flying from Uganda. The plane crashed. So say a prayer for Sudan. Think of Sudan.” Since that crash, people fear war may resume. Stones from afar Baraza told a number of other stories, some funny, some tragic. After he was ordained, Baraza was sent by the church to work with the Pokot, a nomadic pastoral people with a well earned reputation for fierceness, who live between Kenya and Uganda. He worked among them for ten years, then left to study anthropology and religion at Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. As part of that study, Baraza spent time in Bethlehem, Israel. “I had three Arab students. I went to them to take me to the Bedouin, so I could compare them to the Pokot, they are both nomadic,” began Baraza. “It was a journey of five miles. As soon as we go there these students went back very fast because they didn't want to be noticed by the Israeli government. They would have been arrested and beat up for traveling without permission. The Bedouin, they saw me as coming from the U.S., not Kenya. They thought I was white, and wanted me to bring stuff for them, you know. When they saw I was black, they thought, hmm, many black people are rich in America. We ll wait and see. As soon as I arrived, they said they had three gifts for me. They gave me a small cup, said this is coffee' in Arabic. They said drink it, and said men drink once, not twice. So I swallowed it. It was sooo bitter. And he said we do not give just one, and so he gave another. That was the second gift. It was rough. Then went to a tent, and got a long sword, and I thought, oh, Lord, that was the end of me. I thought I was finished. He said 'we want you to know we won't kill you with this one', and I was thinking what does that Photo by Ann Georgia McCaffray Father Patrick Wanakuta Baraza speaks at Central Coffee Roasters. mean? Is there another one? But he said so long as I am there, you are under our protection. The third gift, it was humor. It was a joke. We stayed up all night laughing and telling stories....” Among the Pokot Baraza told of his life with the Pokots. “I saw how these people lived. Bedouin, compared to Pokots. I walked and lived with the Pokots for ten years. No house, searching for food. What do they eat? Every morning eveiyone is supplied with blood. Leaves... they mix with the blood. That is their meal. For the Pokots- normal. For me, at first, very difficult. I made schools, no buildings, so I brought in a catechist, he taught basics...” Catholic relief services brought in Boka leaf and powdered milk. There's no soil, so this food really changed their life. Once every four months the truck came, makes a big difference... water is tne responsibility ot young men-to bore, to dig wells. Kids live in acacia trees. Kids make a nest. A child climbs up and sleeps there to escape mosquitoes. The mosquitoes stay down low. Mosquitoes are so bad, and disease, you know. Parents, often make a circle of cow dung. It is so valuable there, dry cow dung. They make a circle, light it, smoke keeps away mosquitoes, snakes, scorpions. For water, wells are dug 18 to 25' deep, young girls go down and scoop, shoulder on shoulder, morning to evening, scooping with buckets: They say U.S.Acooking oil tubs, from aid, a gallon, they cut the top off, and its a bucket... • One morning I was in my tent. Girls came running- Father, so and so girls are dead. Why? The well collapsed. That was nothing. Normal. That is what made me leave that place, made me ask the Bishop to leave...” Power of Faith After his talk, Baraza entertained questions from the audience. One questioner wanted to know about healing. Baraza replied: “ At home heading is a critical part of being a priest. After mass, people come and sing, and go into trance and shake and dance and sweat, and some become so tired and fall down, like that, and priest holds It’s.too late if you wait..

He felt it going around inside him. He wanted to go to hospital. Nothing happens (there). They say the person is OK Bui person says; there is a chameleon in me' and he is getting smaller and smaller, so you ‘ have to think... a medicine man came and stayed for 2 weeks.

So he cannot see because he's throwing up, you know, and (medicine man) says Look, you are right! and the man sees (the dead chameleon). He lives his life.” lb a question about the nomadic Pokot, Baraza told the audience: “They cross borders, you cannot see a border, and they go, raid for cows. Pokot believe all cows are created for them. They they all have AK47s. Very dangerous... the Ppkot is feared. The Kenyan government is scared of the Pokots. In World War Two, the government decided to exterminate them. So they prepared themselves. They take a container, and pack it with cassava, blood and millet, in the middle, dried meat. And water, and they stay in holes and wait, even a week, for an enemy. Down they went, hiding in holes. The army, tanks go over them, and stop, camp waiting to find Pokots.

You can often see the symptoms of these diseases by examining trees for signs of discoloration or dieback Here's a top five list of diseases most commonly encountered in this area: • Dutch Elm Disease (DED) - This disease affects the vascular system of American and European elms causing rapid wilting and death. • Anthracnose - This disease causes leaf, shoot and bud blight on many deciduous trees including sycamore, dogwood, oak and ash • Phytophthora Root Rot - This disease causes root rot and stem cankers on many landscape trees and shrubs • Hreblight - this bacterial disease causes shoot dieback and stem cankers • Verticillium Wilt - A soil borne disease. Verticillium causes wilting, decline and failure of many species of landscape plants Most diseases are preventable and can be treated.

Baraza told a story with perhaps a more direct message than his others: “My father was Islamic, my mother Christian, which meant catholic.. Grandpa fought on the side of the British in World War One, went to Burma, came back in 1919 and converted to Islam My grandfather came home and met Christians. They hated him. wanted to convert him, but he refused. Grandfather was the slaughter man, because all meat must be killed by a moslem. On Fridays I used to follow grandfather to the mosque. I would skip school and follow him around as he worked, then go to the mosque, there was such singing. One day we were on our way and I saw my father, he didn't know I skipped school every Friday, and I tried to hide, standing behind my grandfather as he walked, but he was too skinny, it was useless. Oh my father punished me. I never went aeain. But I never forent the songs, so beautiful. We had Moslem and Christian, both in the same family. We had tolerance, respect and understanding... In African Traditional Religion, god is in everything. There are the spirits of the living dead- that is what they call the spirits of the ancestors, when your family member dies, he is still living. Living dead, and you go to the grave and pour libations. It is not ani mism. It is African Traditional Religion.” Baraza tells us that all three- Islam, African Trauitional Religion and Christianity are rivals for the hearts of Kenyans, and must learn to coexist. He has taken his roots, his childhood experience with all three religions with him to the United States and his studies at GTU, where he is thankful he “was exposed to Methodists, Quakers, Anglicans. If I went to Rome and met only Catholics... who knows? Tb see only one kind of Christian. But there- I went there like this (closed hand) and came back like this (open hand)... “The best education is the one that will enable you to go down to the people. If you want to hear the sound of the ants, you have to put your ear to the ground. I go down to here the voices of the voiceless- the dx populist. You know, lain is so good sometimes, the ox populist. “ Pencil parable Baraza closed with a parable: “The inventor of the pencil lectured his creation, he said to the pencil, always remember you have four points. 1) Goodness is within you. 2) Remember that you do nothing unless you remain in the hands of someone. 3) Pencil, remember as you go through life, you will be sharpened and resharpened many many times. 4) You will always be expected to make a mark.

Her son Logan has cystic fibrosis and being the pro-active mom that she is, she has decided to run in the Marine Corps Marathon(26.2 miles) to help raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The race will be held in October in Washington, D.C. Her training for the race is underway and despite heat and a sprained ankle, Kim has admitted that despite the challenge, it's not too bad. Her inspiration is her son, Logan. He is currently fighting off an infection in his lungs and has to take large amounts of antibiotics and do hours of physical therapy each day for a month. Logan is luckier than most though. He's still active and primarily deals with digestive issues but the disease may do more damage as he gets older. Logan is 11. A true advocate, Mcmeman is ready to run as tar and as fast as she can to help find a cure for CF and to make not only her son’s world better but for all of the people who suffer from cystic fibrosis. She has already raised awareness for the disease by being a recipient of the 2004 Volunteer of the Year Award from the DC Metro Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. McKieman has a fundraising target of $3,000 and is hoping to raise more. Family and friends have already made a big difference and so far over $1,000 has been raised. A secure web site has been established to help with donations. It's simple, fast and totally secure. Www.justgiving.com/pfp/mckieman or you can mail a check to Kim at 43 Atkins Road, Sperryville, VA 22740. Make the check out to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. It's tax deductible. Every dollar helps. Contributions of any size make a difference, v Let’s give Kim a hand, help her finish the race in fine form and help her exceed her fundraising goal. She's fighting for her son's future. Wouldn't you? Meet the Editor Invitations are extended to community residents who would like to meet the editor at the next RappNews Coffee Club gathering. It will be held in the conference room at the Rappahannock News office at 10 a.m. on Thursday morning, August 18. Whether you've come before and would like to come again or you've never been, you're welcome. X realize, its extremely yor„.BOT arek'tyou &EH46 A 61T OVERLY PRMAWilC/ Homey? / Letters Environmental Alphabet Soup Mix-Up As President of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP), imagine my surprise to learn from last week’s Rappahannock News that RLEP donated $15,000 to the County . .for conservation and preservation...” (Bill Kossler’s front page article, “Board Unhappy with School Figures”). In fact, the very generous donation, presented by Sharon Pierce and Susan Strittmatter, was on behalf of the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA) for the purpose, I believe, of augmenting the county’s fund for Purchase of Development Rights (PDR). PDR is a very worthwhile program that RLEP encourages and to which we give our moral support. But RCCA, through their inspired gala fund raising, supports the program with actual cash dollars. It is easy, I suppose, to confuse environmental groups in this county; there are so many. It is especially easy to attribute all environmental initiatives to RLEP because (among the county-specific groups) we have been around the longest, are the best known throughout the county, and have the largest membership and the greatest number of successful programs. But happily, there has been a proliferation of environmental groups in the past few years; each with a narrower focus than RLEP but with leaders who are equally dedicated to our fragile environment and the long-term interests of county citizens.

They purchased Caroline’s Reserve Grand Champion. Amissville resident angered over variance denial I write in astonishment at what I read on the front page of the Rappahannock News of July 28, concerning the denial of a zoning variance to the /Vmissville Volunteer F,re and Rescue Company. There are fire and rescue groups in six communities of this county. They are composed of several hundred men and women, from teenagers to people in their seventies. Amissville resident reacts to news ‘Variance request denied’ The code, zoning and covenant laws of our fine county are designed to protect the residents and home owners who live here. We all have to abide by them and we all should be thankful they exist. It is true the parcel of land in question would be worth more if someone could build a house on it. Fortunately, due to our zoning laws and the wisdom of the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA' a home cannot be built on it. Let us not loose sight of the fact the land was a gift to the Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company!AVFRC). . The AVFRC should be thankful for the donation and sell it for what it's worth before their legal fees surpass ‘ heir profits. The attorney for the AVFRC did have at least one intelligent thing to say and was correct in his statement, "'This case is about people who don t want a house next door to them. ..” What in the world is wrong with that? I sure would not want CENTEX homes coming before the BZA in a few years and citing the AVFRC verse the BZA case! Also, ‘Seven crashes in the county* I have absolutely no sympathy for any of the riders involved in “at fault” accidents. I see these idiots every weekend speeding by my hou^e at 70, 80 or 100 miles per hour, in fact last week I actually saw some fool on Rt. 211 standing on his seat doing a wheely at around 75 miles per hour. The “victims” of these accidents are not the injured or deceased riders but the poor folks who witness or worse yet are made involved in an accident. What about the trooper, deputy or rescue worker who responds to one of these grisly scenes? Do you think they forget over night? I hope they do, but not likely. What to do about it? A few years ago “thru trucks” were banned on Rt. 17 between Warrenton and Marshall due to the number of accidents and danger they posed. While it would be nice to ban motorcycles from the county that don't carry a Rappahannock County sticker it's not possible. However, why not make it very difficult on the idiots that are hell bent on tearing up, down and around our peaceful county. Make Thornton Gap “thru motorcycles only” meaning once they get to Luray they can’t come back over their “track”. Impose “no thru motorcycles except residents” on all of the other twisty roads the fools like to race on. It’s perfectly legal and 100 percent justifiable! Our first responders have moi e important issues to deal with other then scraping some foo’ off the road. u Mark Raiford Amissville These are, with few exceptions, people who readily answer calls for trouble. They go in the middle of the night, in the cold and rain, in the stifling heat of August. They rise from a sound sleep, from an important family holiday dinner, from any and all activities. Rescue comes first. They do this 365 days a year. Not one of these people gets paid. Each is a volunteer. Thus it is simply astounding to read that the argument against the zoning variance was so that the fire company could make money - quote - to finance fire and rescue operations. End quote. The people of these fire and rescue companies, members of their families and many of their friends also spend hours cleaning and maintaining equipment. They hustle bingo, hold dances, put on carnivals, mop the floor, do the dishes, fix the roof, wash the windows, scrub the grill. They also go hat-inhand to foundations for funds. All in the name of money to - here we go again - finance fire and rescue operations. k Besides all this, the same people spend hours in refresher training so they can be ready and capable when stepping out of the ambulance. Next time you hear the siren wail, somebody is dropping whatever he or she was doing and rushing to help. Rushing to help anyone who calls, even those who would deny them the funds they need to keep running. Robert Lindquist Amissville Flint Hill Ladies’ Auxiliary thankful The Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department wishes to extend our utmost thanks and gratitude to the many volunteers who helped us during the recent Flint Hill Fireman’s Carnival. Help came to us in many forms. The Griffin Tavern donated boxes of gourmet candies and The Public House donated deli cious pork barbeque. Ve had numerous scrumpt?' homemade cakes, pies anu . arious desserts donated to our bake stand from members of the community. Many volunteers worked long hours manning our cook and bake stands with a smile for all of our hungry customers! We want to also thank the many people who stopped by to give us monetary donations. The great community support truly makes this a wonderful fun, family, annual event! Shannon Swain and Holly Propst, Co-Presidents Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary Filibu: a ne9ativeetonnom en as 10 nominations Fix the Broken Nomination Process: President Bush believes that judges should strictly and faithfully interpret the law, rather than legislate from the bench. He has appointed judges to the Federal courts who share his judicial philosophy, and his appointees have been rated the best qualified of any recent Administration by the American Bar Association. No nominee to the Federal courts K • of appeals had ever been filibustered prior to the Bush Administration, but a minority of Senate Democrats has conspired to filibuster ten of President Bush's judicial nominees. President Bush will continue his efforts to end this obstructionist behavior. Richard MacQuarrie Jeffersonton i

Walks in Shenandoah By Maureen Harris Special to the Rappahannock News This is a lovely, easy walk for a hot summer day. The walk leads through a highcanopied forest, past large boulders and an Appalachian Trail hiking shelter. It crosses several small streams and reaches the rim of a steep canyon with a great view down into Rappahannock County. A bit farther along the walk is the former site of the 1900s Mount Marshall Copper Mine. Driving directions To reach the walk, enter Skyline Drive at the Thornton Gap entrance station just off US 211. Drive north for 14 miles. On the right will be the paved Gravel Springs Gap parking lot, vith spaces for about 12 vehicles. Alternately, if you enter Skyline Drive at the Front Royal entrance station, drive 17.4 miles to the Gravel Springs Gap parking lot on the left. Walking the walk At the back of the parking lot is a gated fire-road with a yellow chain across it, next to a 3' x 4' signpost showing a map of the trails in this area, lb the right of the fire road is a 4 foot concrete post marking the Appalachian Trail. Walk downhill along the Appalachian Trail for about l/10th mile to a second concrete post. This has a metal band around the top showing the direction of the Appalachian Trail and the direction of the Bluff Trail. Turn left at this concrete post. You will be walking downhill through a dense overhead canopy of mature trees. Even though it might be 95 degrees in lowland Rappahannock County, it is sure to be 10 to 15 degrees cooler here. Bird lyrics You might listen for two summer singing birds (most other birds have quieted in summer, after their spring singing during mating season). The rufous-sided towhee has two songs that have been described as “drink-yourteeeee” and “cha-wink” (in bird song language, of course, not in English). The red-eyed vireo sings triplets which sound like “look at me, up in the tree, here I am, look at me.” The towhee might be seen flitting in the brush and tree branches along the trail, but the vireo will be high up in the tree canopy. Gravel Spring Hut In about 2/10ths of a mile you will reach Gravel Spring, marked by your third concrete post. About 85' to the right is Gravel Spring Hut, a small 3sided building with a picnic table and open fireplace in front. Walk down and explore this structure. It was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s as one of a series of shelters for people who were hiking along the Appalachian Trail. This shelter is now maintained by the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club for overnight stays by backpacking hikers. The spring (known as Gravelley Spring in the past) is for the backpackers to obtain water and, a short distance away, there is a privy. Many of the hundreds of long-distance hikers who walk from Georgia to Maine along the 2,100 mile Appalachian Trail each year walk down from the trail for an overnight stay at Gravel Springs Hut during May, June, and July. Following Bluff Trail Walk back to the spring and continue straight for about 65' to a fourth concrete post. Take the narrow walking trail to the right of the post. You are now on the “Bluff Trail.” After 0.1 mile, there will be a 5th concrete post marking the intersection with the Harris Hollow Trail' coming in from the left. The Harris Hollow Trail is an old wagon road that led down the mountain to the east into Rappahannock County. At the top of the Blue Ridge, the road went down the mountain to the west to Browntown Valley. Both the Harris Hollow Trail and the Browntown Trail are currently maintained as horseback riding trails. Continue straight on the Bluff Trail. It will turn downhill and come to a sixth concrete post. Stay left and continue on the Bluff Trail (so far you will have walked about 6/10th mile). The Bluff Trail now is almost level and runs along the southeast slope of Mount Marshall. There will be several streams to cross, but .these are small and you can easily step across them. Catoctin Greenstone You will be in a high canopied forest strewn with large boulders beside the trail. The rocks here are primarily “Catoctin greenstone.” Greenstone forms a long, continuous band in the Blue Ridge throughout much of Virginia and all the way up to southern Pennsylvania. Greenstone was formed from lava flowing 600 million years ago. Heat, pressure, and aqueous mineral solutions changed the original basalt to greenstone. When the rock first reached the surface as molten lava, gases separated in part of it and the gas bubbles were “frozen” as holes when the lava solidified. The holes later filled with minerals such as quartz, green epidote, and green malachite (containing copper). The holes weathered away in some places, leaving Photo by Maureen Harris GRAVEL SPRING HUT: Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and used by long distance hikers for overnight stays. the original open holes. The rock is now gray-green. Greenstone breaks along joints made by regional stresses, giving the rock outcrops a craggy appearance, but these rocks are quite resistant to erosion. Big Devil Stairs At 1.1 miles from the beginning of the walk, the forest opens up, with views off the side of Mount Marshall. At mile 1.9, you will cross the upper reaches of Big Devil Stairs gorge; you will find a small stream across the trail here. This stream is the headwaters of the larger stream which courses down Big Devil Stairs canyon and joins into the Rush River in Harris Hollow below. Just beyond this small stream will be the junction with the Big Devil Stairs Trail. Turn right onto the Big Devil Stairs Trail, which follows the east rim of the gorge. Shortly, the trail will make a few switchbacks (zigzags in the trail so that the walking does not proceed too steeply downhill) as it follows the rim of the gorge. There will be an abrupt right turn, after which the trail comes to the rim of the Big Devil Stairs gorge. Continue along the trail to a large rock outcrop (you will BIG DEVIL STAIRS: Rappahannock County stretches out below. The cliff face (“stairs”) are on the right. have walked for 2.6 miles from your beginning at the Gravel Springs parking lot). Here there are good views of the Big Devil Stairs canyon and the mountains beyond. Continue for l/10th mile further to another rock outcrop where there are even better views of the canyon and down into Rappahannock County. Miller Family Copper The land you have been walking on was once owned by the Miller family, who received a land grant of about 10,000 acres from Lord Fairfax in the early 1700s. In 1926, the land was divided among seven Miller children-six sons and one daughter. In the early 1930s, the Commonwealth of Virginia purchased about 6,600 acres of the Miller lands that were along the top of the Blue Ridge. These lands were then donated to the U.S. government to form part of what is now Shenandoah National Park. Return to the Bluff Trail and turn left to retrace your steps back to your vehicle. If you look closely, you will see that the Bluff Trail follows an old mountain road trace. Indeed, the Bluff Trail was earlier called the “Copper Mine Road.”If you had turned right onto the Bluff Trail, in about 1.5 miles you would have reached the site of the former Mt. Marshall Copper Mine. No traces of this mine exist now. The mine was a short-lived venture. It was incorporated in 1907 with John J. Miller of Washington, VA, as one of the owners; the other three owners were from Cincinnati, Ohio. A vein of copper ore was examined hy experts but was found to be too low-grade to make the mine practical and the mine was abandoned in 1908. Records in the Rappahannock County Courthouse contain the court proceedings to dissolve the company. A list of the assets of the company included such -items as a 15 horsepower boiler, 98 lbs. of dynamite, 200 lbs. manila rope, 1 claw hammer, 4 mattresses, 1 mirror, and 1 rug. The debts of the company included a handwritten note from Miss Mary Thornton listing such items as 7 lbs. hens (56 cents), 2 lbs. butter (30 cents), and 13 lbs. Ham ($2.30). These walks in the Shenandoah not only provide the hiker with scenic beauty but a wealth of history as well. Enjoy! Fair draws crowds to Sunnyside Farms @ The Schoolhouse By Jan Clatterbuck , Rappahannock News Staff Writer Located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains just below the panoramic entrance to Skyline Drive and the Shenandoah National Park is Sperryville, a town known for its scenery, lush produce and unique charm.

Postoperative pain, scarring, and a long, difficult recovery period — a year or more — made traditional surgery a tough choice Now, new advances in endoscopic technology, coupled with the skill of an experienced orthopaedic spine surgeon, mean that many Culpeper Regional Hospital patients can benefit from tiny, "keyhole" size incisions. The results, shorter hospital stays, less pain, and a recovery period measured in weeks, not years. Patients can be back to their daily routine in mu,ch less time Because surgical options depend on many variables, consult your surgeon to see if minimally invasive spine surgery is right for you. Spinal surgery is just one of the new minimally invasive procedures available at Culpeper Regional Hospital, where patientcentered care means more personal choice.

Rappahannock News Photos/Joyce Hunt BOOK CLUB: Bret Heddleston of Sperryville enjoys a good book with a good dog. Wakefield students check out the classics with summertime reading program By Joyce Hunt Special to the Rappahannock News Wakefield Country Day School (WCDS) students are reading this summer, as in summers past, to strengthen skills and foster intellectual growth through the classics. Bret Heddleston of Sperryville will be entering seventh grade in the fall and has four books on his summer list. He thinks that the reading program helps keep up his school skills over the summer.

The appeal is in response to the BZA decision of July 22, in which the BZA voted not to grant a variance on a parcel of land owned by the AVFRC, The variance would have allowed a potential buyer of the land to build a house on it, which is prohibited by the parcel's current zoning. In the appeal, the AVFRC stated that the BZA violated the procedures of Virginia's Zoning Ordinance by the manner in which they voted the variance down. The appeal goes on to state that the BZ^'s decision was a violation of the constitutional guarantees to equal protection, due process, and the right to property and requests, that the Circuit Court reverse the BZA decision and award the AVFRC $75,000 in compensatory damages. This is the amount that the AVFRC claims their parcel would be worth if it could be sold as a residential building site. The BZA has 21 days from the filing of the appeal to respond.

Pierson was taken to Fauquier Hospital with non-life-threat ening injuries and Downey was charged with stopping on the highway by State Trooper Carrieann, Corbett. Mountain Task Force Rappahannock County received some extra attention from the Virginia State Police over the weekend. State Troopers were deployed in what First Sergeant Gary Settle referred to as an “InHouse Task Force” over the weekend in order to better oversee weekend traffic on US 211 and Rt 647. The task force was partly in response to the recent high accident volume on those roads, particularly among motorcyclists. Rather than deploy more troopers, officers were condensed over the peak traffic periods. “We tried to really hone in on the peak periods, to try and send a strong message and get more visibility.” explained Settle. The task force issued 21 violations over the weekend, 9 to motorcycles and 12 to cars. ‘We re going to be out there again this weekend, we had favorable comments from motorcyclists,” said Settle.

If you are looking to buy Real Estate, it is a good idea ,to call a Lender and have a preliminary credit report and analysis of your income and expenses, to determine how much of a loan you qualify for. This does not guarantee you a loan. You still have to go through a formal loan process, but at least it tells the seller that a credit report and an income and expense analysis have been done. Next time you are in the market for Real Estate get a letter from a lender saying that you have been pre-qualified for your loan. You will not only impress the seller but your Realtor as well!

I—— ■'■■■■■■■ , Inspiring Tfwugfits kw Randy Minter GRIEF AND AGING The loss of a loved one is a stressful event for people of all ages, but it may be particularly so for the elderly. One’s final years are filled with losses involving work, friends, and physical independence. Thus, the end of a purposeful career and the onset of physical limitations may only accentuate the feeling of grief that accompanies the death of a loved one. The phases of grief are common to people of all ages-shock, disbelief, emptiness, confusion, numbness, and freefloating anxiety. Therefore, older men and women can benefit every bit as much as their younger counterparts from grief counseling that helps them cope with their loss and advert depression. Grief is part of loss and loss is inevitable for us all as we age, but grace with loss is possible. At the Moser Funeral Home, (233 Broadview Ave. Warrenton), we help you remember all that you valued in your loved one and express it in an appropriate service. For a tour. Call 347-3431.

% Workers day in the sun By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Inn at Little Washington held its annual summer picnic out at the Marriott Ranch in Hume this Tuesday. It’s the sixth year the bash has been held at the ranch, but the tradition of the party goes way back in the annals of' Inn history. Thrown by owners Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch for their staff, the picnic is mostly just a fun event, an easy chance for people to take their families out to a summer picnic. But, it is also more than that. * All busy restaurants are very high stress and high energy work places. With its rarefied reputation, and unforgiving commitment to maintaining the highest standards, the Inn is all the more so. During the day-to -day workweek, everyone’s energy is devoted to getting the job done, and time for chitchat and getting to know one another is limited. ine picnic gives everyone a chance to relax and meet their fellow hospitality travelers in a calmer, more easy going setting, with a little more time to talk. People meet the spouses and children they’ve only heard about, or haven’t seen since the Inn’s other big annual staff event - the Christmas party. During the work day, O’Connell is dedicated to realizing his vision of a magical getaway, of flawless food and service in tantalizing surroundings, lb bring that about, he has to be the taskmaster, the judge and critic, who tells everyone what he wants and how he wants it done- and the one who tells you about it when you do it wrong. But twice a year, at the summer picnic and the Christmas party, O’Connell and Lynch thank their family of staff for their hard work. Both of them mingle and chat with everyone, sharing stories and listening, on a purely social, work-free level. Everyone, from the bottom to the top gets to let their hair down a little and just enjoy each others company for a change. Looking back In the early days of the Inn, they had a somewhat different tradition, with the same end. O’Connell related. “We used to go to Kings Dominion every year. We would rent a bus and take the whole staff. We invited the moms and the dads, thinking they’d act as chaperones. That was definitely not the case. The bus company told us they would never, ever take us again.” It’s true, restaurant people can get a little rowdy when they aren’t working. Maybe it’s to let off steam from the hectic, , intense hours at work. And maybe restaurant people are just a bit rowdier than nine to five office people. Having the party here, and having activities for children have made the event a bit easier and more family friendly than the old group road trips. It’s become a tradition in its own right too, with some of the feel of a big family reunion, with people of all ages running around. This year, kids and grownups alike partook of the roast pig, burgers, hot dogs, slaw, potato salad and eveiything else you could hope for in a big coun try style picnic spread. While the kids were off getting their faces painted, playing with giant bubbles, romping around in the moonbounce and riding in carriages pulled by miniature ponies, (very popular with the under ten crowd) the grownups enjoyed a little ice cold brew and listened to the bluegrass melodies of Richard Brady and his Shenandoah Travelers. When done picking over the finds at the Inn’s annual scratch and dent sale, where slightly chipped fine china, robes, pots, books and whatever else has piled up over the last year in the back rooms of the five-star Inn can be had for a pittance, some of the grownups go off on a leisurely ride on Marriott’s trail horses. As darkness fell, a few speeches were made and a few awards given. Tired children were packed and the family men and women made their way home. Then, it’s back to work. Until the Christmas party, that is. 11 lei I im f fM :4 m $ Z>W&£W$&h .. ..■ 6 ■ . Allen Real Estate is pleased to announce the sale of 100 acres of land in Rappahannock County.

Tale of two bookstores By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer The singular and unique character of Rappahannock County is mirrored in the spirit of the county's two bookstores, the Old Sperryville Bookshop and Fly-By-Night Books. This November, the international mega-bookstore chain Borders will be opening a location in nearby Warrenton, bringing more titles within easy reach of Rappahannock bookworms. While they will never carry as many books as a Borders or the other large chain stores, Rappahannock's local stores will remain competitive by staying unique and in time with their community. Fly-By-Night Located in Flint Hill right on Rt. 522, Fly-By-Night Books offers customers nature and animal themed collectibles,crafts,and photographs as well as a sizable collection of used books. The three-roomed store has the feel of a long cortridor with books, pictures and knick-knacks covering every surface. Fly-By-Night has a warm and cozy informal atmosphere, and among the shelves are chairs for customers to use and a sleeping dog named Maicah for them to pet. “It's Navaho for wolf," explained Pam Owen, who owns both the store and the dog. Owen started the store -in September of 2003 because she liked books and nature and wanted to sell to people with similar interests. Fly-By-Night is focused on used and collectible books about nature and local interest subjects. However, Owen keeps a wide selection and along with the Peterson bird guides and classic Civil War history texts Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Monty Taytoe BOOK-SAWY BROWSERS: Sue Jones in blue and Marcia Greene of Winchester, Va browse the shelves at Fly-By-Night. Both are former librarians. are hard cover copies of Stephen King novels and an entire corner is a children's section. “If a kid with no money wants to buy a book for fifty cents, I’m gonna have it, that's a community thing.” said Owen. Alongside the more common used books in Fly-By-Night are valuable collectible and antique books, a section that will soon be growing. Robert and Juba Jordan of Blue Ridge Book% will combine their business with Owen's.

The Jordans have been in Rappahannock county for several years, selling their books at antiques and book shows around the country as well as locally at an antique shop. “I don't specialize in antiquarian.. I have to consolidate, and Rob and Julia are bringing a higher tone to the store.” The more valuable books at FlyBy-Night are interesting and showcase an assortment of collectible titles. There are classic first edition novels and comic books signed by their authors alongside collectible ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPTS: Reading by church light is part of the appeal at The Old Sperryville Bookshop. copies of Heavy Metal magazine.

IT’S GOT SOUL: The Old Sperryville Bookshop is an unlikely combination of a 100-year-old church and a used book store. The case of the walking lichens In the movie “Master and Commander” there is a memorable scene in which naturalist and ship’s surgeon Dr. Maturin shows Captain Aubrey an insect that looks remarkably like a dead twig. Until it begins to move! The captain gets the idea of camouflaging his ship to sneak up on the enemy and win another great sea battle for England. Camouflage is surprisingly common in nature and its adaptiveness is obvious. Animals that are effectively invisible to predators are more likely to escape predation. And camouflaged predators are more likely to subdue prey. Insects provide good examples of natural camouflage. Mantids, walkingsticks, leafhoppers, katydids and grasshoppers are frequently cryptic. And there are caterpillars of many butterflies that look just like bird droppings! Insects not naturally camouflaged can also build a camouflage from the materials around them. This is what larvae of the trash-carrying green lace wing (Leucochrysa pavida) do. And if you’re especially observant you can see them in the county all during the late summer and fall. Lace wings and their relatives (these include the familiar ant lions) are members of an insect order (Neuroptera, or “nerve wing”) characterized by two pairs of transparent wings reticulated by tiny veins. Over 1200 species of lacewings are recognized worldwide and a number are marketed as biological control agents. Adult green lacewings are pale green with golden eyes and long antennae.

By Patty Hardee Special to the Rappahannock News An original short play developed by Ki Theatre will be performed at the Source Theatre in Washington, D.C. on Monday, August 15, as part of “Rising Tide: A Flood of New 10-Minute Plays.” The event is the 20th annual Source Theatre 10-minute play competition and marks the 25th anniversary of Source’s Washington Theatre Festival. The play, “Skunk Scrabble”, is written by Emma Foster, who hails from Montpelier, Virginia. In this engaging mini-play, Foster fondly recalls her childhood afternoons playing Scrabble with her spirited and eccentric grandmother. It was these experiences that led to Foster's appreciation of language and ultimately to her love of writing. The play features three women who are all veteran performers in Ki productions: Warrenton actress Stephanie Mastri along with Sara Dodd-Henze and Cydria Mannette from Rappahannock County. “Skunk Scrabble” was developed as part of Ki Theatre's “Stories Run Through Us” program, in which local writers, actors, and theatre artists If you go • “Rising Tide: A Flood of New 10-Minute Plays” • Monday, August 15 • 7:30 p.m. • Source Theatre 1835 14th. Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. • There are no advance reservations. Tickets ate available only at the box office on the night of the performance. • Box office opens at 7:00 p.m. collaborate to adapt original short stories into plays. Many of the stories are created in Lifestories Workshops taught by founder Julie Portman. Directing “Skunk Scrabble” in the competition is Flint Hill resident Patty Hardee who is also the artistic director for “Stories Run Through Us.” “I m pleased that Ki Theatre will be represented in the competition,” said Hardee, who added, “it's a very popular event and there are usually more plays submitted than there are performance slots.” The Washington Theatre Festival has been an important cauldi on of creativity for local writers, directors, and performers for decades. Producers for “Rising Tide” are Source's Keith Parker, founder of the competition; and Lynnie Raybuck, founder and artistic director of Smallbeer Theatre Company. Raybuck also teaches acting at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Since 1986 Ki Theatre has developed original plays, innovative community programs and workshops that use theatre, music and storytelling as a catalyst for creativity, public dialogue and community building. Ki Theatre's works hope to bridge the boundaries that separate audience and artist, across the divisions of age, race and education, to strengthen community and to speak - through the power and universal appeal of story - to the cultural political and spiritual issues of our time. ‘Born into Brothels’ is an award winning documentary By Rosie Mullany Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community is presenting a four-star documentary, “Born into Brothels” at The Theatre in Washington, Virginia, August 19, at 8:00 p.m. A tribute to the resiliency of childhood and the restorative power of art, “Born into Brothels,” is a portrait of unforgettable children who live in the red light district of Calcutta, where their mothers work as prostitutes. Zana Briski, a London-born U.S. resident and photographer, and American filmmaker Ross Kauffman, wanted to make a documentary on prostitution in India but soon found themselves concentrating on the children of prostitutes in Calcutta. Then, Ms. Briski had the brilliant idea of providing these kids with automatic and easy-to-manage still cameras. She also went beyond that by discussing the pictures with and among the children. The results range from good to super and the photography gives the kids a purpose in life. The pictures and their making also bring smiles and laughter to the children and sharpen and increase their powers of observation. The directors take the delighted kids to the zoo, where they have never been and the children also discover the freedom of space at their first sight of the sea. This freedom contrasts with their regular life in the suffocating, dismal, disgusting, prison-like spaces in the brothels. Briski attempts to break through the walls of bureaucracy, taking her kids away from the Red Light district and placing them into schools. She succeeds in getting the most artistic child to a special photography meeting in Amsterdam. For anything she tries she must obtain the children’s parents approval and often it is not granted. For acceptance by a school it also takes tests to determine that the kids are not HIV positive and on and on. One comes away from this movie with great respect for both the directors and the children and also the knowledge that what little has been accomplished points to how much needs to be done.

Hilda Gipson Vivian Yancey Lichens From Page B1 During the day they may be seen on trees and shrubs where they feed on nectar, pollen and honeydew. They are easier to see at night when they are attracted to lighted windows and floodlights. Lacewing larvae are wingless, spiny, lizard-like creatures with large pincer mouthparts they use to capture prey. They are voracious predators that will eat any other smaller insects they encounter. Their effectiveness in controlling aphids, spider mi+es, leaf hoppers and other pests makes them especially useful as biological control agents. Lacewings overwinter as adults and begin laying eggs in the early spring. The eggs are all borne at the tips of hair-like stalks. When they hatch the tiny larvae begin consuming prey over a period of two or three weeks before forming cocoons and emerging as adults. Around here it’s practically impossible to see lacewing larvae in the field because they are tiny and inconspicuous. Larvae of the trash-carrying green lacewings are easier to find, but one must learn how to search for them. They appear not to be insects at all. They look more like walking lichens! Looks are deceiving You must watch the trunks of lichen-covered trees for a few min utes. Some of the lichens will appear to move in a slow wiggly fashion. These are the lacewing larvae. They put bits of lichens on their backs, forming a packet anchored by stiff, hooked hairs. If the packet is removed, a larva will suspend all other activities until it can be replaced. It remains there until a cocoon develops and then becomes the outer covering of the cocoon. The adaptiveness of this camouflage appears to be defensive since lacewing larvae are subject to predation from a variety of enemies. The imperative is to cover up, but what the cover is depends on the habitat. Not all larvae use lichens. Some use tiny bits of tree bark, mosses, shed insect exoskeletons, pollen grains, or anything else that happens to be lying around. Others that feed on wooly aphids cover themselves with the waxy “wool” of their victims, making them miniature “wolf in sheep’s clothing” predators. Removing this cover exposes the larvae to attack by ants that herd the aphids for their honeydew. In Rappahannock County the trash-carrying lacewing larvae are frequently lichen-covered. This is probably because lichens are diverse and abundant in the county. We should be encouraged by this since lichens are sensitive to air pollution and die if air quality declines. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen anytime soon. Disappearing lichens would be bad for lacewings, but it would be an especially bad sign for us. Send your news to rappnature@aol.com. Books From Page B1 effect on their industry, Owen credits it with helping her business. Fly-By-Night is a little out of the way, but local customers and Internet business keep Owen (and Maicah) pretty busy. “I haven't read a complete book since I opened the store. I get to admire their binding.” admitted Owen. Fly-By-Night Books is open Monday, Thursday and Sunday 11 to 5,and on Friday and Saturday 11 to 6. (540) 675-9989. Old Sperryville Bookshop The Old Spenyville Bookshop is intriguing just on the outside, before any books can be seen. It is a former Episcopal church, built in 1902 and closed in 1955. After serving as the home for a few assorted congregations and businesses, the building opened as a bookshop in 1998 under the ownership of Jim and Joan Gannon. Current owner Nancy Ostinato bought the store in August 2003,' and has been operating the store on the weekends ever since. The interior of the Old Sperryville Bookshop preserves the original chinch interior, with a high ceiling, sunlight filtered in through long church windows, and pews serving as bookshelves. “I always just loved books and bookstores. . . . Once I walked in and saw this building, I was sold,” explained Nancy. One side of the store has been made into a coffee bar, with tables and benches, and comfortable chairs are distributed throughout the store for customers who want to sit and read but prefer a cushioned seat to wooden pew. Located in Sperryville on Main street, the Bookshop is a regular stop for locals and tourists, some of whom make a point to stop in whenever they come to Rappahannock County. “About 80 percent of our business are daytrippers on their way to the park or the caverns. They find our store by accident and just keep coming back.,” said Ostinato. Ostinato bought the building and all of the stock from Gannon, and started adding some sections of her own. Old Sperryville carries a mix of new and used books on a wide, variety of subjects, although there is the same predominance of local history and regional interest books found at Fly-By-Night. Ostinato’s dedication to carrying local interest books isn't simply as a retailer, she also reprinted a popular book about Rappahannock county's past herself. My Rappahannock Story Book by Mary Elizabeth Hite is an anthology of stories about Rappahannock County collected by the author, and was originally published in 1950. “It's not completely historically accurate, but it's clear that [Hite] absolutely loved Rappahannock county,” said Ostinato. Ostinato worked with the local historical society to obtain the copyright and reprint the book last year, as original editions had become rare. “I've seen first editions for $150-$200 for sale on the Internet,"explained Ostinato.

Is there a routine activity in our schedule that we simply regard w ith an attitude of disregard? What about walking the dog, or that first cup of coffee, or reading the paper? Could it be playing with our kids, or eating dinner with our family, or even biting into a cool piece of watermelon when it’s hot outside? Sometimes we overlook the fact that the normal, commonplace things throughout our day can delight us if we simply take time to notice them. Each day can provide many moments of happiness, moments to treasure. We can look for them along the way. Happiness can be found in our daily routine. Consider Psalm i 18:24, "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it” Give thanks for the simple things in your life each day. Rejoice with God at your house of worship this week. Be on the lookout for moments to treasure and be glad!

Wandering cats check out the bluebird realty market Does anyone have a good solution to wandering cats? I know they are someone’s pets, but, still.... We put up a bluebird house this spring, and were delighted when a pair moved in within a week. After a while, we could see that they were busy feeding some hungry youngsters. Then we find a pile of blue feathers just beneath the birdhouse, and the only one bringing food is the male. Next, the male disappears. We waited awhile, but it was too late. We opened the box, and two little fellows, already with blue feathers, had starved. Now,- we didn’t see it happen, so we can’t rule out a fox or a hawk or some other wild predator, but we have at least five different cats that patrol the property on a regular Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com basis, and for the time being, they are under suspicion. Worse, the lady of the house is not happy. She enjoys the birds even more than I do, and keeps two feeders out with different types of seeds and one with sugar water for the hummingbirds. But, when mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. So, what’s a fellow to do? Thing is, I love cats. We have two of our own, but they stay in the house all the time. I saw something on the TV the other day about the number of songbirds that one domestic cat will kill in a year, if allowed to roam freely. It was very high, but I don’t remember the numbers or just how the research was done. I know they are also fond of young rabbits, and if little Racer Rabbit turns up missing, it’s going to be like the words of that old Randy Travis song, “Send My Body Home on a Freight Train.” Randy is in a courtroom, charged with something he didn’t do. But, nevertheless, he sings, “I guess they’re going to have to hang somebody, and it’s looking like I’m gonna’be the one.” Hot weather The only thing good about this terrible heat seems to be that the grass doesn’t grow quite as fast. I am ready for a break, and a day or two of nice, steady rain.» Went out the other day to change the oil in the truck, and by the time I had the oil and filter and the drain pan and everything else I needed, I was soaking wet. Came in, took a shower, and Linda said, “That was quick.” I told her I was working at it in stages, and hoped to finish up the next day. I’m still hoping. More on motorcycles Had a good conversation with the sheriff the other day about the motorcycle issue. He has some ideas and is actively working the problem. And this past weekend, there was a very visible presence of Virginia State Troopers in Flint Hill, and we are thankful for that. I continue to believe if you are working on a difficult problem, you sometimes have to be creative, or, as they say, think outside the box. And, I don’t mean putting the speed limit down to 5 MPH, so it takes three hours to get to Luray. Most of the deputies’ vehicles have radar. Use it. Blanket the twisty roads with radar for a few weekends. Pay some overtime. Shift some days off. Be as visible as possible. And, not being a lawyer, I’m free to make all kinds of suggestions, some of which may not fit within the bounds of legality, but, is there such a thing as vehicular reckless endangerment? If there is, write it up. I always felt there was a modicum of truth in the old saw about the farmer and the stubborn mule. The farmer couldn’t get the mule to do anything. So, he asked a neighbor for some help. His friend showed up the next morning and promptly hit the mule squarely between the eyes with a 2 by 4. The mule’s owner said, “Friend, I wanted you to teach him something, not kill him.” His friend responded, “I’m going to teach him something, but first, I have to get his attention.” As for me, right now I have to get back and help finish canning tomatoes. Why do they all come in at once? Until next time, stay cool, drink a lot of water, and try to keep the shiny side up. Vaccinations should be part of your back-to-school checklist Summer vacation is almost over and children will soon be heading back to school.

Summertime fruits in abundance It's the good old summertime and it's time to pick the good stuff like peaches, juicy nectar nes, those plump blackberries and blaeberries, perfect for some of summer's favorite fare. Those farms and orchards or side stand markets are waiting for you to stop in and pick up or pick for yourself . Now since the peaches, nectarines, blueberries and blackberries are in, you cgn whip up a summer fruit pizza for the family. I’d like to share this recipe with everyone. It is easy to make and tastes delicious as well. Virginia grown Summer Fruit Pizza 1 roll of refrigerated sugar cookie dough 1 can prepared cream cheese or vanilla frosting 4 cups fresh Virginia grown peaches, nectarines, blueberries and blackberries 1-2 tablespoons sugar Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 2 pizza pans or 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray. Divide the cookie dough into two equal pieces. Roll out each piece between two pieces of plastic wrap, forming two 10”-12” rounds whatever size will fit on the pans or sheets. Remove one piece of plastic wrap, position the dough on the pan or sheet, then remove, the other piece of wrap. If the dough sticks to the plastic wrap, place it in the freezer briefly. Bake the rounds for approximately 10 minutes or until golden brown. Using a knife, score each round while still warm into 6 triangular sections. Place the scored rounds on a cooling rack for ten minutes. When cooled, place each round on a serving plate. Spread with frosting but leave the edge with score lines showing. Prepare fruit by gently ■ washing the berries and peeling and slicing the peaches and nectarines. Add sugar to taste, mix gently. Place the sliced fruit and berries in any appealing pattern. Separate the rounds into sections along the score line. There you have it. Makes 12 servings. Enjoy!. Be sure to watch for next week summer time recipe.

Mr. and Mrs. Shelvy Frazier returned home Friday evening after spending the week in Savannah, Ga. August is perfect for stargazing During the month of August we have more time to enjoy the night sky with its great views along the Summer Milky Way, as well as the added bonus of a famous meteor shower that produces dozens of “shooting stars” per hour. At the beginning of August, sunset locally is at about 8:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, and astronomical twilight ends at about 10:30 p.m., almost an hour earlier than in late June. By the end of August, sunset will be about 7:45 p.m., with twilight ending about 9:30 p.m. Shapes of several of the constellations Everyone who has grown familiar with the great Summer Milky Way can now recognize the several distinctive constellations through which it passes. Sagittarius in the shape of a teapot low in the southern sky. Cygnus the Swan, also called the Northern Cross from the shape of its star pattern, well up in the eastern evening sky and swinging overhead later in the night, and Cassiopeia, in the shape of a large letter “W” standing on its side in the northeastern sky. As our eyes sweep along this enormous river of starlight, from the deep southern sky to the north-northeast, we should remember that this Milky Way that we see is one huge aim of our home galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy, which is made up of over 200 billion stars, many of them quite similar to our sun, and our sun is just one of this immense family of stars. Under a clear moonless sky In August evenings, if we am under a clear, moonless sky, we can also easily see, another whole galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy. It is a “close neighbour” to our galaxy, being only about 2 million light-years away, and it probably contains twice as many stars as our galaxy! Look, between 10 p.m. and midnight, for what seems to be a “faint fingerprint” in the eastern sky about half way between the horizon and the zenith, the point overhead. Be sure to pause and reflect on the incredible size and distance of the object at which you are gazing, on the fact that the fight hitting your eyes left that galaxy over 2 million years ago. Jupiter: the dominant planet Among the bright planets, Jupiter continues to be the dominant planet of the evening sky, but it is much lower in the evening sky than it was a month ago. During August this trend | r Financial Problems?

In order to see it easily all month, you will need to have a good view of the western horizon. By the end of the month it will become difficult to see, since it will be setting only about 40 minutes after sunset. Try to observe it right to the end of the month. The two other planets of the evening sky are much more difficult to see. Mercury is found down and to the right from Jupiter by about the width of a fist held at arm’s length. Binoculars will be helpful in locating it about 30 to 60 minutes after sunset. Mars appears to the right of Mercury by about the width of a fist at arm’s length and should be seen at the same time as Mercury. Try to locate these last two planets early in the month, because they will become much more difficult to locate after August 10. This month’s two morning planets, Venus and Saturn, are easier to enjoy. Venus is spectacularly brilliant, and rises over 3 hours before sunrise. It absolutely dominates the eastern sky until sunrise. Careful observers should try to follow it right up and even after sunrise. In a small telescope its appearance gradually changes from a crescent phase in early August to a quarter phase at midmonth, a very interesting transformation. Saturn rises in the east, over an hour before sunrise in early August, increasing to over 3 hours by late August. Saturn still appears in the constellation Gemini, as it has for the past year; it is just to the right of the twin stars Castor and Pollux. At any chance you have for morning observing, be sure to note that brilliant Venus and Saturn appear to be approaching each other, until by the last day of the month they are very close.

You won't need an umbrella for this shower With the coming of August, we have a greater chance of seemg meteors than at most other times of the year. The very famous Perseid Meteor Shower, so-called because these meteors appear to radiate from the area of the constellation Perseus in the north eastern sky, reaches its peak on August 12, though I have seen some of these meteors as early as June. Perseid meteors are tiny dust particles left in a huge elliptical stream in the inner solar system from Comet SwiftTuttle, a comet of 130-year period, that last appeared in 1862 i • -t rt • i ■ . . cuiu in izjzia. caui Lenient this year is about possibly seeing increased activity from the layer of dust cast off when the comet was near the sun in 1862. Perseids are very fast, travelling at 60 kilometres per second before being “burned up” in the atmosphere. Some meteors are likely to be seen on any night in August, but I suggest that people make definite plans to observe them on the nights of August 11 and 12. Fortunately this year, moonlight will not interfere at all for most of the night. Although some meteors may be seen beginning at about 10:00 p.m., I strongly recommend observing all nighl, right up to morning twilight. Meteor experts are predicting this year’s best activity for early morning at the beginning of twilight. Tb see the most meteors, face in a northerly or southeasterly direction and direct your gaze to a “quartersection” of the sky quite high above the horizon. You will soon notice that most of the meteors come from, and can be traced back to, a spot, called “the radiant” in the northeastern sky; these meteors are members of the Perseids; others are not. Let's hope for clear nights when we are stargazing.
