Sherman FREIGHT TRAIN: Jeffrey Scott carries his guitar with him just as his uncle, John Jackson, did. Scott, along with other musicians, celebrated Jackson ort Saturday afternoon by doing what Jackson loved and did best — playing music. By Anita L. Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer Bob and Karen Darby’s pasture was set up for company on Saturday afternoon as roughly 100 people gathered to celebrate the dedication of a historical highway marker placed in honor of John Jackson. Jackson was bom not far from the Darby’s farm in Woodville in 1924. The son of tenant farmers, Jackson learned to play the guitar and banjo from his parents, Suddy and Hattie Jackson. On a serendipitous day in the early ‘60’s, Charles Perdue, an anthropology professor at the University of Virginia, stopped at an Amoco station. It was a fateful stop that would ultimately alter Jackson’s future. Jackson was inside with his guitar. The two men got to talking about music and Jackson started playing. What Jackson played surprised and impressed Perdue who thought Jackson was a musician from out of town - perhaps New York. Perdue and his wife, Nan, had been singing in coffee houses and at festivals for nearly seven years before this chance encounter with Jackson. They were among the founders of the Folklore Society of Greater Washington. Perdue had just been to a concert where he had heard Mississippi John Hurt playing “CandymanAnd, it was “Candyman” that Jackson was nimbly fingering. “It blew both our minds,” said Perdue’s wife, Nan. “His playing was phenomenal and here he was, right in our back yard, it was too good to be true.” At that time, Jackson was living in Fairfax, Virginia. “It was the right time and John and I happened to be in the same place at the same time,” said Perdue. Perdue and Nan became fast friends with John Jackson and his wife, Cora. Perdue was instrumental in getting Jackson gigs and the two families merged in a lasting friendship that lasted until Jackson’s death in 2002. Perdue spoke lovingly and kindly at the gathering about the man and his music and his struggles. “Things have changed since John and I first met in October 1964,” said Perdue as he gazed out on the fields of green that once were home to Jackson and his family long ago. “Things weren’t easy for Black families living in Rappahannock then,” began Perdue as several in the audience nodded in agreement. “For a time John was working on a farm under the findings system (you were given a house and and certain amount of meat and other produce but it was often difficult to leave),” continued Perdue. “John was paid $3.00 a day. Once he had the measles and was unable to work. He had to pay his employer $3.75 per day for each day missed.” It was in the 90’s on Saturday afternoon. Folks were hot but there See JACKSON, Page A2 Teacher in uniform By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer Captain Jeff Brown, Drug Abuse Resistance Education Officer (DAR.E.) for Rappahannock County, was honored August 17 as one of only two recipients of the Mike Bentowski Officer of the Year Award.

His father Dan Bailey recalled the eventful day. “He was using spinner bait, with an artificial lure, and I was fishing a plastic worm... he yelled, Daddy, I’ve got one’. He reeled it two or three feet. I was afraid we’d break the line so we walked it backward up the bank. Half an hour later he got another one on a plastic worm.” The biggest bass was 19 1/2 inches, weighing in‘at three pounds, 12 ounces. The other one is nearly as big, at 18 1/2 inches, and three pounds, four ounces. When asked what father and son did with those basses, the answer was easy. “We ate them.” Photo courtesy ot Dan Bailey Best day ever Michael Hall took home the win at the Potomac Northeastern EverStart tournament.

CELEBRATION: Nearly 100 people gathered on the Darby's farm in Woodvllle for the historical marker dedication on Saturday. Jackson From Page A1 v as plenty of smiling going on os friends, family and admirers came to pay tribute ■ to an old blues singer. “We did not start out to help John have a career that would ultimately result in a highway marker being erected in his honor. We just thought he was an incredible guitar player and that he should be heard by everybody,” said Perdue. “The fact that he would eventually play his music in 68 nations around the world and for two U.S. Presidents was not a thought that ever entered his head - or ours either. I think if John were here he would be delighted but incredulous that a highway marker honoring him has been placed here.” Sharing Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy started the afternoon's ceremonies with a warm welcome for those who had come to brave the heat and honor one of Rappahannock's own. Memorable events are seldom achieved alone and McCarthy credited others who had helped make the event possible like Scott Arnold from the Virginia Historical Highway Marker Program, Jan Ramsey from the Virginia MARKER: Friends and family members unveiled the John Jackson Historical Marker located on Rt. 522 just a bit south of Woodville near Millwood. Blues Music Historical Marker Project, folks from the Virginia Department of Transportation like Dave Cubbage and Julian Aylor, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts in the Community and particularly to Karen and Bob Darby and their family who graciously hosted the event on their farm. When McCarthy offered anyone in the audience to share their comments about Jackson, there was no hesitation on the part of Jeffrey Scott, one of Jackson's nephews. “I have very fond memories of my Uncle John,” said Scott with a .contagious smile. “I couldn't wait to come around and listen to him play music. He was a good man and generous to us all.” “I've heard about you,” said Scott as he met Lucille Jackson for the first time. A teary-eyed Lucille Jackson introduced herself to the audience. “I'm an adopted daughter of John Jackson,” she began. “He and Cora took me in when John Jackson - Traditional Musician John Jackson, Piedmont guitar master and influential traditional musician, was born near here on 25th Feb. 1924. One of fourteen children of tenant farmers Suddy and Hattie Jackson, Jackson learned songs on the guitar and banjo from his parents, traveling and local musicians, and records. He moved to Fairfax County in 1950, where he worked various jobs and started a grave-digging business. Introduced to the Washington D. C., folk scene in 1964, Jackson performed on eight records, at clubs, on radio, and at festivals in the U. S. and Europe. He received the prestigious National Heritage Fellowship Award in 1986. Jackson died at home in Fairfax Station on 20 Jan. 2002. I didn't have a place to go, they made me part of their family. When John Jackson died, I put down my guitar and haven't played since.” Under the shade When the unveiling of the marker was done, it was time to dig in to barbequed pork burgers, coleslaw and cool lemonade. People lingered and talked about the man and his music and the impact it had on their lives. It didn't take long before the guitar cases were opened, chairs set up under the shade of a large tree and the rhythm and blues music began. Scott was joined by Greg Kimball from Richmond and Rick Manson who played a mean harmonica. “He sounds like his uncle,” said an observer. “You take it,” said Scott as he looked over at Lucille Miller who began gingerly picking up a guitar. Smiling through her tears, she joined in with Scott and the afternoon air was filled with the memory of John Jackson. Anita Sherman may be reached at asherman@timespapers.com. D.A.R.E.

Officer since 1991, Brown is responsible for educating kids about the consequences of drug abuse and teaching them skills to help resist peer pressure to use drugs. In this role, he teach es classes to elementary and high school kids, familiarizing them with the truth about drugs. In Brown's case, the role of D.A.R.E. Officer is combined with the job of School Resource officer (SRO). As SRO, Brown serves as a law enforcement officer in the school system, working with kids from kindergarten to high school. He talks to kids about their problems at home or at school, and serves as a positive presence in their lives. These two jobs mean that Brown is one of the few people who Rappahannock County children see in school every day Auction ANTIQUES, COLLECTIBLES GUNS & PERSONAL PROPERTY Time: 10:00 Sat..

Program is not just about drugs, it's about giving kids the knowledge to make wise decisions,” explained Brown. DARE. Day Brown has been very creative in implementing DAR.E. S program in the Rappahannock county school system. Ten years ago, Rappahannock County combined its field day with D.A.R.E. to create “D.A.R.E. Day” a program led by Brown that has added educational programs to the usual field day activities along with an occasional exciting twist. “We've had a barrel train, a hot air balloon, we had the fire department demonstrate the “Jaws of Life”. . . .the Monster truck was neat,” remembered Brown. “Thanks to Jeff, we have one of the biggest DAR.E. Days in the state,” said Roger Mello, principal of Rappahannock County High School. Brown's administration of Rappahannock's DAR.E. Day is so effective that he has twice been asked to help organize larger regional DA.R.E. Days.

After their shopping trip, the kids are taken to the Little Washington FirehaU and fed a Christmas dinner, while volunteers, whom Brown calls his “mad wrappers,” wrap the presents the kids picked out. After dinner, the families are given their presents along with a food basket. The program originally started with five children and under Brown's guidance, has increased every year since to its current total in Rappahannock county of 82 children. Summer scholarship Brown took charity outside the school system when he started the summer camp scholarship program in 1999, which raises money so that disadvantaged kids can go to summer camp. The program depends on the charity of the Rappahannock County community, and has sent over 200 local kids to camp since it began. “People have been veiy generous and supportive,” acknowledged Brown. It was the impressive amount of Brown’s work for the community taken as a whole that led to his being recognized with the Mike Bentowski award, and it's clear that he'll continue doing that work, especially when he tells how he got into this job. “I had heard that the program was a good way to be proactive and fun for the officer,” smiled Brown.

Fighting for the farmer By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer One of the defining aspects of life in Rappahannock is its historical connection with agriculture. In a manner far out of proportion to the actual number of people owning or working on farms, farming s impact on the culture, the landscape and the self-identity of Rappahannock are enormous. Rappahannock County is a sort of produce mecca, where there are no large chain grocery stores, yet if you keep track of what’s in season, you can fill your larder with asparagus, strawberries, cherries, peaches, apples, organic beef, .heirloom tomatoes and much much more, all of far better quality than the fare at the nearest big chain retail outlet. A large plurality of our county - and our country- find farming a noble and important endeavor that should be fostered and preserved. Despite this broad support, small farmers have been squeezed and threatened for decades now. From Farm Aid festivals to country music songs, their plight has become almost a clich6 of our times. One local farmer isn't giving in to globalization and giant agricultural factory combines without a fight though Political action Jay Miller is a well known local cattleman, real estate agent and sixth generation Rappahannock native. Also, working with groups like the Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, United Stockgrowers of America (R-CALF USA), the Organization for Competitive Markets (OCM) and the Cattlemen's Competitive Market Project (CCMP), Miller has been a tireless political advocate for economic issues affecting small farmers and cattle ranchers Such as himself. Miller played a role in the lawsuit that, until very recently, stopped importation of live Canadian cattle, as a partial quarantine against mad cow disease. And he helped lobby successfully for a national country of origin labeling law for beef. His efforts have yielded some fruit, but have not been without some defeats too. After working with domestic cattle fighting tooth and nail to keep Canadian cattle out, ostensibly because of the risk of mad cow Auctions by Hartman August 27 - 9:30 Auction Barn Items from several estates.

While country of origin labeling for beef became the law in 2004, Miller reported that the chair of the agriculture appropriations subcommittee, Texas republican Heniy Bonnilla, has effectively nullified the law by zeroing out financing for enforcement. And despite intense opposition, including a recent R-CALF USA press conference in which Miller and 15 bipartisan congressional representatives participated, CAFTA passed last week by a razor thin margin. Setbacks, or no, Miller is pushing a vision of change in our model of agriculture. As he sees it, the local farmer's profitability has been hurt by several closely interconnected factors. Globalization There's the impact of globalization, for one- and treaties like NAFTA and CAFTA. Miller argues that these treaties, as they are written now, hurt our farmers and our economy, and benefit only giant retailers and huge mulitnational agricultural conglomerates like ConAgra and Tyson Foods. Noting that the U.S. was a major food exporter before NAFTA and since then has become a net food importer, Miller said, "I ask how members of Congress can call themselves fiscal conservatives and support trade agreements that cause huge trade deficits.” Asked why Latin-American countries have taken such a big bite out of the domestic beef and agricultural market, Miller pointed out that wages are extremely low in those countries, and that nothing in these trade agreements requires equitable pay. Miller recounted. "R-CALF sent a fact finding team to Central America. They have governments providing their vaccines. They don't have r to put up hay- there's a 365 day a year growing season... They don't have the same health requirements... We have to have standardization of health requirements." By his lights, therefore, the playing field is far from level for US and CAFTA and NAFTA countries. Oligopolies Another threat stacking the deck against smaller farms is the market-distorting impact of big agriculture trusts. While they have been big and powerful for a long time, their share of the pie and their influence has grown enormously in recent decades. According to the US Department of Agriculture, since 1980, the share of the market controlled by the top four meat packing companies has increased more than 30 percent to above 70 percent. Oligopolies like that haven't been seen since the early twentieth century era of big trusts, and the enactment of the first anti-trust laws. "Our markets are packer controlled and supply and demand is broken. Producers are not being paid the true value of their cattle. The lack of competition and the use of captive supply cattle allow the processing industry to dictate price rather than negotiate price...some weeks, especially in a nervous market, 30 percent of the total cattle killed are pricing the remaining 70 percent,” explained Miller. Tb help change this, Miller added. "Were working on a packer ban on livestock ownership. Tysons and other big packers have used captive supply to depress prices. They blackball farmers who cause trouble, and those farmers can't sell their cattle." Wal-Mart But big agriculture is only a piece of the puzzle. Miller believes "the real culprit in this Notice of Public Hearing: PROPOSED SALE OF REAL PROPERTY BY THE COUNTY OF RAPPAHANNOCK In accordance with §15.2-1800 and §15.21813 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, on Wednesday, September 7, 2005, at 7:00 pm at the Courthouse in Washington, VA, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors shall hold a public hearing on the proposed sale of its 25% interest in real property owned jointly by the Counties of Rappahannock, Orange, Madison, and Culpeper, and known as the George Washington CarverPiedmont Regional Education Center, 16.366 acres located in Culpeper County, Virginia.

Of the components of our national food supply chain; the farmers, the middlemen and the consumers, Miller explained, "each segment of the industry has its own financial concerns. Each segment of the industry is competing for its respective share of the same consumer dollar. The industry is not the voice of producers or consumers... when packers, processors and retailers want to extract their pound of flesh it comes from opposite ends of the food chain. The producer or the consumer always foots the bill. Tb them it is just business, to producers it is a matter of survival and preservation of an entire culture."

He was entrusted with the care and education of Odysseus and Penelope's son Telemachus. Telemachus grew in selfconfidence and assertiveness as he awaited his father’s return. Mentoring is now a common term for a wise and trusted counselor but a true mentor is a rare and treasured commodity. While there is no question that there is much to be treasured in Rappahannock County in terms of scenic beauty and a spirit to conserve and protect, there is perhaps even more to be said of its people and their heart. Captain Jeff Brown was honored recently by being one of only two officers to receive an award for his work in the D.A.R.E. Program. Making a difference in a young person s life is what Brown is all about but you wouldn't hear that from him. He isn't into self-promoting about himself even if the cause is honorable and to be praised. Brown leads by example in his every action and word and his work among the youth and community of Rappahannock County is fast becoming legendary. He does it with a spirit of genuine caring and always with a smile on his face. His innovative and creative ways to bring joy into the lives of young children while at the same time teaching them - most importantly about making wise decisions — has won him a long fan list among law enforcement, county and school administrators, teachers, parents and the youth of this county. Brown is a shining example of mentoring at its finest - done from the heart with young hearts in mind. A parent's nightmare The news on the cover of the Washington Post Monday sent shivers through the hearts of all that read it. Two young Maryland boys killed in a senseless death. Their crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. While waiting for the light to change, their vehicle was struck by a middle-aged woman, pushed across several lanes of traffic where it hit another car and caught on fire. Sixteen-year old David Synder, who was in the back seat, was killed. He had just made the high school varsity soccer team but he really liked basketball. One of his friends riding in the front seat was also killed. The other was injured. They weren’t drinking. They weren't on drugs. They had simply gone out for a burger after a day of watching movies and catching crabs in a nearby river, To remind people again that if you drink, please don't drive, sounds trite and a mantra little listened to. There are no words that can ease the unspeakable and unbearable grief that the parents of these boys feel. When a young life is lost, it pulls at the heartstrings of us all. t Teen Talk Tne Rappahannock News introduces a new column in this week’s issue. It's called Teen Talk and it is written for and about teenagers. This first column is written by Flint Hill resident, 16-year-old Emily Welch who is a junior at Rappahannock County High School.

I understand that the air was filled with dust, and the floor was littered with rodent feces, filth, and other debris from above the ceiling. The ceiling tiles I saw in the dumpster were fiberglass. Fiberglass dust or air bom particles should not be inhaled. The school was build in an era of asbestos use. I understand the floor tiles are made from asbestos. Could floor polishing equipment of years ago have made dust from the floor tiles that ended up in the ceiling? Maybe it could, maybe not, but regardless, this demolition work put other potentially hazardous dust in the air that should not be in the human lungs. Who allowed this to happen? We will never know what these teachers had to breathe, or if a later illness may be caused by this exposure. What I know is that this incident was unnecessary. The staff was required to work for just two more days. This part of the job could have waited. With all the work to be done on this huge project couldn't they find something else to do outside? My confidence in the management of this project was undermined by this incident. We are now seeing a push to get our children back in school. I have a child who will be attending school this year. I have worked in construction for twenty-three years and have been involved with several schools' remodeling jobs. The contractors want to get done, get paid, and hopefully make money. The school administrators want to get the school opened. What happens is school opens and work still needs to be done. The work then slows down and the occupants of the school are exposed to the hazards of an ongoing construction job. Dust, fumes from solvents and paints producing poor air quality are often present. Night leaves little time for the air to be cleared before students return the next day. Everyone loses in this case. A better alternative is to let the construction company finish 100 percent inside the building before school opens. Someone may have egg on their face for poor scheduling, but the construction gets done quickly and the students and staff are a lot better off. Isn't the most important part of this job the welfare of the children? Another concern of mine is mold in the school. As a result of years of roof leaks, the school may have already had a problem. Now after all the massive leaks and interior flooding due to roof construction, the probability is very high that there is or will be a problem. I've heard of schools having to close to clean up such problems. How about we find it now, before someone gets sick, and fix it before school opens. The results of exposure to mold, fumes, or construction dust may be subtle, or may take time to show up. Perhaps your or my child will develop asthma or another chronic illness long after this project is completed and forgotten. I would like for a third party, not the construction subcontractor, to conduct tests for mold and asbestos before school opens. Perhaps the EPA should be invited to monitor the air while construction continues should school have to open. I have to know my child is safe. I look forward to reading in this newspaper what is being done to ensure that everyone’s children are going to be safe in the school that our tax money supports. Let's not rush to open school. Let's open it when it is ready. Mark A. Bailey Washington Go nuclear Availability and cost of energy determine living standards: the more there is at least cost, the better off we are unless you prefer to depend entirely on your own muscles! We know that recently energy costs have risen sharply. That seems unlikely to change soon, as demand increases steadily from rapidly developing economies, especially China and India. Simultaneously, readily available, cheap supplies of oil are peaking. Electricity is the most widely usable form of energy. It lights, heats and cools our homes and water, washes and dries cloths, runs heavy machinery in steel mills, powers computers and cell phones, pumps and purifies drinking water and handles waste, on a small, slowly increasing scale, helps transportation, produces our medicines, runs hospital equipment. America's electric generating capacity is near its limits, as recent “brownouts” and “blackouts” show. We need more, ideally non-polluting, independent of oil and gas, inexpensive. Today there is only one way: nuclear. Nuclear power, if scary, is safe: no American plant, including those powering over 40 percent of navy ships, has ever caused serious damage or deaths. Today's designs are far safer, cheaper and quicker to build, can gradually replace coal, gas and oil as our principal fuels. Another reason to “go nuclear” is to avoid being left behind: China plans 50 more nuclear plants in the next ten years, South Korea, India, many others have similar plans. In today's free market, we'd better meet our power needs as cheaply as possible. If we don't, our competitiveness will suffer, balance of payments worsen, living standards and defenses decline. Nuclear electric generating will reduce pollution, ease imports of oil and gas, thereby hopefully reducing prices. Please write our Senators, Congressman, President and Governor and urge them to push for nuclear power now! John L. Marocchi Sperryville Rappahannock Nonprofit Center expresses thanks The Rappahannock Nonprofit Center would like to thank Rappahannock High School and especially Mr. Holly Pendleton for making the computer lab available for our E Base workshop which took place August 16, 2005 in the school’s computer lab. The workshop was attended by a dozen volun teers, board members, and staff members representing area nonprofits. Mr. Pendleton put in quite a bit of time installing the software and setting up the Computers for appropriate access. We are very grateful for his time and kind attention. We were also grateful for the back up batteries on the computers. As a severe thunder storm raged above our heads and power was lost throughout the building on several occasions, we were able to continue uninterrupted because of the batteries. We often hear about Rappahannock County citizens sharing resources with the public schools; of compa rable importance is the wealth of resources the public schools share with the community. Thank you Rappahannock County Public Schools for all you do! Bridget Chisholm Executive Director, RNPC Amy Silver Workshop Leader veteran motorcyclist weighs in The current debate on motorcycles in the county has drawn me in from the sidelines. My thoughts are from the perspective of a current rider who has enjoyed 40 years of motorcycling and a veteran of an extended stay in a shock/trauma hospital. This condition of irresponsible motorcycle riders will be near impossible to eliminate. There are too many factors j working against law enforcement: perfect riding roads, youth, immaturity blended with testosterone and factory motorcycles that will do 200 irjiles per hour “out of the box.” After the radar goes away, they 11 be back in their “power ranger^’ outfits to see who has the fastest elapsed time for the latest posting on the Internet. This type of mentality is challenged by the rash of deaths; it only adds to the allure. A recent “Letter to the Editor” suggested making Thornton Gap, a “thru motorcycles only zone” meaning that after the motorcycles arrive in Luray, they can't come back over the mountain. Since US 211 is federally funded, the state and county ordinances cannot discriminate against motorcycles. The writer’s suggestion is not legal or plausible. I don’t want my already diminishing freedoms restricted any further as a result of a handful of BOZOS! * Bury them; lock them up; make the ones that are caught perform a minimum of 500 hours of community service, preferably with a hospital with motorcycle injury survivors. Force them to speak publicly to their peers about their irresponsibility. Who knows, maybe they'll grow up, buy an 800 lb. Harley and learn to “putt.” “Deak” Deakins Rock Mills

Photo by Ray Boc Campaigning For Leslie Byrne, Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, there is no doubt which is the big issue for Virginia voters: education. Byrne, speaking to a potluck supper at the Madison fairgrounds this past Sunday, lamented that across the Commonwealth, 30 percent of students entering the ninth grade will not graduate from high school. In some areas, said Byrne, the figure approaches fifty percent. “Too many of these kids”, said Byrne, “are working simply to help their families put food on the table” when they should, she insisted, be getting a complete education. Byrne worries that Virginia is thus forming a “permanent underclass”. The candidate, a longtime figure in Virginia politics, pointed to another big issue: pollution. Byrne reported that few in the media are writing about contamination of the waters, but she finds that “people really care about the environment.” Byme added, “fully half the rivers, streams and tributaries in the state are polluted. That’s not the Virginia and you and I want.” Rappahannock residents posed with Democratic candidates.

Rumsfeld today announced the first-ever “America Supports You Freedom Walk” to remember the victims of Sept. 11, 2001, to honor U.S. troops and veterans, and to highlight the value of freedom. The “America Supports You Freedom Walk” will begin at 10 a.m., EDT, Sunday, Sept. 11, and follow a twomile route from the Pentagon to Arlington National Cemetery, across Memorial Bridge, passing several national memorials and ending on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. At the conclusion of the walk, participants will be invited to a concert by country music singer and songwriter Clint Black. The “America Supports You Freedom Walk” is free and open to the public. Individuals interested in walking must register to participate at www.americasupportsyou.mil. Registration closes at 10 a.m. EDT on Friday, Sept. 9, 2005. The “America Supports You Freedom Walk” will be preceded by a private cere Ask the Arborist By Jamie Wood I.SA Certified Arborist Hemlock Woolly Adeigid: Uroo Killor on tho Move Hemlocks are unique and versatile landscape trees with excellent shade tolerance. Canadian hemlock is considered to be one of the most graceful and beautiful conifers. Unfortunately, the most difficult problem in growing hemlocks is an insect known as the hemlock woolly adeigid. The hemlock woolly adeigid. Adetges tsugae, has been in the United States since 1924. This native of Asia is a serious pest of eastern hemlock and Carolina hemlock. The snow white colored insect has caused extensive damage to forests and ornamental plantings of hemlocks from Virginia to New England. Hemlock woolly adeigid injures hemlocks by sucking sap and by injecting toxic saliva while feeding This causes the needles on infested branches to desiccate and drop from the tree within a few months. Death of major limbs usually occurs within two years and progress from the bottom of the tree upwards. Unprotected trees often die within four years, although some survive longer in a severely weakened condition. Control treatments, are an essential component of an integrated approach to managing populations of hemlock woolly adeigid Hemlocks usually need treatments on a yearly basis to control the adelgids that blow into the trees each year from nearby infested trees.

The building will be open beginning Monday for ONLY employees to start preparations. Mr. Burke will check the building again before staff comes in Monday. He will inspect again Aug. 31. We ask parents and other community members to please not come to the school until Sept. 1. Construction workers, • RCPS custodians, and other school staff are working hard to prepare RCES for the late opening of school on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Uur custodians have worked under difficult conditions to wax classroom floors. They are waxing the kitchen and halls this week; cafeteria first of next week. In addition to doing renovations at the school, the general contractor has been busily preparing the building for occupancy. Professional cleaners have been washing walls, interior windows, and removing dust ’ and construction debris. Professional cleaners will clean and sanitize all 63 bathrooms this week. WindoVs broken during construction have been repaired. The courtyard and front lawn area have been graded in preparation for reseeding. Sheet metal screws have been removed by large magnets from all surrounding surfaces. Power has been restored and the electricians are making the connections to the main panel boxes. The new fire alarm panel was installed and tested today. Two rooms of damaged asbestos tile were removed recently by a licensed contractor with supervision by a licensed monitoring firm. Also, spot removal of small areas of asbestos tile is being completed today, Aug. 24. Replacement tile is being installed. Carpet damaged by rain is scheduled for replacement in several areas August 24-26. Following the rains that twice infiltrated the building during construction, we insisted on mold testing. An inspector notified us of the results on August 22. His testing was positive for mold on wet fiberglas pipe insulation above the kitchen. That was removed in my presence on August 23. The kitchen is being cleaned and will be inspected by the Health Department before we use it. Community invited to tour school on Meetthe-Teacher night September 1 We request that parents and other community members not come to the school until September 1 from 2:00-5:00 and 6:00-8:00 PM. The exception would be Kindergarten parents who will bring their children in for orientation on Wed., Aug. 31, at 6:30. It will be too disruptive to staff preparations in the building to have visitors before Sept. 1. We appreciate your cooperation! Finally, all our decisions about the opening of school have been related to the safety of students and employees. We know there is a lot of anxiety about this.

Police briefs DUI near Woodville August 20, 2:00 a.m. Claumer Garcia was driving his 1998 Chevy S10 pickup on Rt. 522 just south of Woodville when he lost control, ran off the left side of the road and overcorrected striking a sign and a tree on the opposite side of the road. ’ When State Trooper Derek Mauck responded to the crash, Garcia was not present and had left his truck at the scene. Garcia was eventually located at a nearby residence and charged with driving without an operator's license and DUI. Learning curve August 20, 4:40 p.m. A 17- year -old from Rappahannock County driving north bound on Rt-729 lost control of her 1995 Nissan 200SX as she approached a curve in the road. The driver over corrected and crossed back over the centerline colliding with a 2004 Chevy Blazer driven by Susan Lynne. Both cars sustained heavy damage and the drivers were transported to Fauquier Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. State Trooper Don Corbin charged the juvenile driver with reckless driving, with driver inexperience believed to be the major factor in the accident. Less heat - more tickets The State Police In-House Task Force was in operation over the weekend, patrolling US-211 and Rt-647.The task force re-distributes State police duties to allow more patrol on high accident areas in and around Rappahannock County. Troopers had felt that hot weather was keeping many motorists away from the county over the previous weekends of the task force s deployment, but last weekend was comparatively cooler. “We think this weekend was a good gauge,” said State Police First Sergeant Gary Settle. Police involved with the task force issued 50 tickets over the weekend, a great deal more than the 29 from last weekend. Obituaries Phyllis C.

From Big Hole to Big Win By Monty Tayloe and Anita Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writers Ivan Hall, Sr. of Sperryville is a very proud papa these days. Raising his son on fishing rods has proved over the years to not only be a relaxing past time but profitable as well. This past weekend kept Hall on his toes as he watched in anticipation with each day's results from a major fishing tournament in Woodbridge. His son was among the vast arena of fishermen from all parts of the country coming together to test their talents, the strength of their lines, their tenacity and their fish sense. Hall was jubilant. “He won. He came in first. He beat all the others,” said Hall as he shared reports of his son's achievement with family and friends. Big win Michael Hall of Annandale, VA won $9,400 and a new fishing boat in the Potomac Northeastern Everstart Bass fishing tournament on Saturday, but he still remembers fishing in the Rush River of Rappahannock county. Hall, a 52-year-old electrical engineer, caught over 53 pounds of bass over the course of four days winning the tournament by two and half pounds over his nearest competitor. Ivan Hall and his wife Hazel still recall when Michael Hall caught his first fish ever, in a popular fishing area of the Rush River called Big Hole. “That was when the river was stocked,” said Ivan Hall, Sr. “I used to take Michael and his brother there and we'd fish from the bank. Later on, I had him fishing with some of the best bass fishermen around:” It was Hall's first time in the Potomac Everstart and he led the field from the first day. His biggest fish over the four days was a six pound bass. “I used 14 pound Trilene XT on my spinning reels and keep my drag line tight, and when that fish started taking line, I knew it was a big one. I had to just hold onto that rod for about 30-40 seconds. Fortunately, I was able to get her in.” said Hall at the end of the day. One of the secrets to Hall's success was the weather. In the week of practice prior to the tournament, the weather in Northern Virginia was very hot and fish biting was sluggish. When the first three days of the tournament were cool and rainy, it threw many of the pro anglers off, but not Michael Hall. “I like overcast .rainy, windy days because I believe the fish will bite,"explained Hall. Throughout the tournament, Hall repeatedly said that his advantage lay in his understanding of the fish. “I felt all along that I had a good strategy, and as you can see, it did work. The thing about tidal waters is that if you find a patch of fish, you can catch them day after day if you go about it right. They move, but they don't move very far.” revealed Hall. According to Hall, this ability to understand fish dates from his days trout fishing in the Rush and Thornton rivers.. “Much of my bass fishing skill came from all the years of trout fishing,” explained Hall. “It was quite a shock when one day my father challenged me to go out and see how I would do against the best BASS fisherman in the world. My first professional BASS tournament was a Megabucks tournament in Leesburg, Florida in 1987. You might call that first tournament a learning experience. In 1989 I fished the Megabucks again and had a great tournament, coming in 9th one day, and ending up with a win of $5,000,” recalled Hal. Hall was also assisted in his win by his choice of equipment. For bait, he used 5 inch Yamamoto Senko lures rigged “wacky style”, meant to simulate the 5 inch long shad that is the customary prey of the Potomac largemouth bass. Considering the weather at the tournament, his choice of boat also affected his performance. ■ “My Basscat boat equipped with a Mercury Optimax 225 HP Motor provided super performance during the tournament despite the rain,3 foot waves, and extreme heat,” said Hall Despite his three days of dominance, Hall finished in what he later termed a “nailbiter.” On the final day of the Potomac Everstart, the summer heat returned, and Hall caught only three fish, while his next closest competitor ,Rick Morris of Lanexa, YA, had his best day in the tournament, beating everyone else's catch by for the day by more than three pounds. Hall was the last fisherman to weigh in his catch on the last day, an he didn't know if he’d caught enough to win with his total catch weight for the tournament. “Everyone was tense until I pulled my final bass out of the bag weighing around 4and 1/2 pounds,” recalled Hall. But Hall had won by two and half pounds. Winning big doesn't mean that Hall has forgotten his roots however. “My mother Hazel and father Ivan have been wonderful encouragers. They have always told me to keep fishing and one day I would win the big one,” said Hall who shared his success with them. “It was quite a thrill to go down to Sperryville last Sunday and thank my parents for all the years of their encouragement and show them my trophy” said Hall.

Administered locally by the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District, the cost-share program supports numerous practices to restore and protect stream banks, better stabilize cropland, manage pasture land for maximum benefit, better utilize animal manures and manage forest land. All are designed to prevent soil and nutrients from being lost and entering local streams. Commonly referred to as “best management practices,” some management practices are paid at a straight per acre rate or are cost-shared on a percentage basis up to 75 per cent of the total cost of the installation. In addition, the Virginia Best Management Practices Tax Credit Program allows producers to receive up to a 25 percent tax credit on their out-of-pocket expenses incurred on the installation of the best management practices. The conservation district has approximately $500,000 available to local farmers interested in improved stewardship. Of this, $62,420 has been prioritized for nutrient management, cover crops and continuous no-till. These practices have been identified by the Commonwealth as the most effective practices for promoting Chesapeake Bay restoration. There are also numerous opportunities for conservation incentive payments through United States Department of Agriculture programs. Land owners/ managers interested in pursuing conservation improvements should contact the Culpeper District office at (540) 825-8591 or (540) 672-1638. • All producers in the Culpeper District coverage area are potentially eligible.

He went on to add that he would support the interests of “the valleys and the mountains Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jan Clatterbuck ON THE ROAD: Blubaugh's blue truck is traveling up and down the roads and over the mountains getting the word out about his candidacy. and the hollows,” and that he was not here to further his career or to support special interests.

Synagogue students: These children took a step back in time to learn about the heritage of Jewish and Christian religions. Students stepped back in time to walk with Jesus today By Jan Clatterbuck Rappahannock News Staff Writer , Vacation Bible School is one of the greatest opportunities to reach all people, especially children and preschoolers, during the summer months. Washington Baptist Church ' and Trinity Episcopal Church sponsored a joint bible school this August that had a total enrollment of 77 which included 44 students and 30 helpers. Average daily attendance was around 60. The children and helpers wore Bible costumes similar to garments worn more than 2,000 years ago as they stepped back in time to walk with Jesus in a Jerusalem marketplace. Each day focused on a different aspect of Jesus's life. Children learned about Palm Sunday when Jesus was welcomed by the crowds and also about his time spent praying in the garden and his eventual arrest, crucifixion and resurrection. The particular strength of this Vacation Bible School was its focus on Biblical times and the culture that existed then. It was a unique and fun way for the children to learn about Jesus's life and times. Children were divided into the five tribes of Israel. There •was a marketplace where they could learn about baking unleavened bread and basket weaving. They also attended synagogue school and learned about the PassOver Seder as they tasted the foods in an authentic representation. Students learned about the Hebrew language and practiced writing words in Hebrew like Shalom and Jesus (Joshua). The Jewish Tbrah was explained as the first five books of the Old Testament and stucL. memorized verses from these “Books of the Law”. Through visual and other senses the students experienced the sound, flavors and sights of the biblical tunes of Jesus of Nazareth. The classes emphasized the common heritage of the Jewish and Christian religions. Each day Rev. Phillip Bailey led the recreation session where the children played various Bible games. Rev. Bailey and Rev. Hobson were very thankful to Janet Jenkins who served as the director for this year's Vacation Bible School and to everyone who helped make it so successful. As one observer noted, “it was so refreshing to see the children exploring the Bible and understanding God's message in such a fun way.” Jan Clatterbuck may be reached at jclatterbuck@times papers.com 1 55 Alive Developed and taught by the American Association of Retired Persons, *55 Alive' is a two-session class which teaches preventive driving measures for drivers 55 and over.

August 25, 2005 www.timescommunity.com Peaches, pears, plums and apples aplenty BY BILL KOSSLER Rappahannock News Staff Writer It’s that delicious time of year for baking peach cobblers, apple pies,, pear crisps and plum jams. And Rappahannock County is the perfect place to hunt for picture perfect fruit. Best peach in the world Have you ever had a fresh, ripe Sunhigh peach? The kind where you have to eat it outside or over a sink or trash can, because the juices drip all over the place as you bite into it? If you’re quick, you still have a chance to get some local Sunhighs. Their season is at a close, but Roy’s Orchard and the Williams Orchard might still have some for a few more days. If you can’t get a Sunhigh peach, don’t worry, there are a few other excellent varieties such as Laurol, Redhaven and Glohaven still coming in for a little bit longer. And though maybe not quite so wondrously luscious and succulently tart, sweet and intensely flavorful as the Sunhigh- the World’s Most Delicious Peach (according to at least three Rappahannock residents)- they are such a far cry better than what the supermarket has to offer that you’ll wonder how they can even be the same species. Probably the four oldest still in production are Lee’s, Williams’ Moore’s and Jenkins’ orchards. Lee’s grows Sunhighs, but they are done for this season, and moving into early apples. Moore’s has a number of other juicy fresh peach varieties, but no Sunhighs now. Unfortunately, this delicious breed isn’t the most popular among farmers, because it’s season is short, it’s yield isn’t the highest, and they bruise easily and don’t travel or keep well. Two centuries and counting Profits are low and expenses are high in orchards these days, so concerns like yield and season length are critical to making a living. The Lee family, of Lee’s Orchard, has been farming in Rappahannock for over two centuries. The oldest building still standing on their property dates back to 1790. The proprietor, Bryant Lee, who may also be familiar to readers from his activities as a member of the board of supervisors, supplements his farm income with outside work as a mechanic.

It’s apple time now, through the fall at Lee’s. Their orchard, on Orchard Lane, off US211, by Massie’s Comer is both one of the most convenient to get to, and one of the finest views available. Moore’s Orchard, off the Fodderstack, has remained a thoroughly family operation. Run by Jonathan Moore and his father Lewis Moore Jr., they’ve also been in Rappahannock forever. “We’ve been here for, I guess, well over two hundred years. The house was built in 1810. We were here before the house,” Jonathan Moore related qualifying that “we’ve grown fruit for about a hundred years.” They should have Glohaven and Redhaven peaches this week, as well as Ozark Gold apples, a few varieties of plum, peppers and heirlocm tomatoes. In the cooling weather of the fall, many more apple varieties will be coming on line. “It gets pretty nuts here during apple season.” Some of the big advantages ’of going to an orchard rather than a supermarket is the freshness, ripeness and flavor of the fruit. Jonathan Moore had this to say. “We try to pick only as much as we cm sell today. While fruit picked earlier FRUITS OF LABOR: James Jenkins brings in a cartload. will ripen, the flavor doesn’t improve in the way it does on the tree... the closer to dead ripe, the better the flavor.” Moving up a century... Williams’ Orchard, on Ben Venue Road, is another grand old local family farm, with a bit of age to it, although compared to Lee’s and Moore’s they’re practically newcomers. See ORCHARD, Page B2 Photos by Bill Kossler LIVING TRADITION: Father and son, Lewis Moore Jr. and Jonathan Moore in one of their orchards. MOM AND POP: Roy and Janet Alther at the helm of Roy’s Orchard. STORIED STRUCTURE: Circa 17901810, the building was the original Lee family home, and later became slave quarters. Now it’s just picturesque and historic. Fleeting fame for these flowers What’s in a name? As labels for people and things names are clearly important to us. Consider the time and thought given to naming a child (or a goldfish for that matter). Should it be Abigail, Bessie, Mary, John, Paul, George, Ringo? What about RappNature Sara and Jim Lawray plant names like Tbadflax, Bugbane or Ramping Fumitory? Unlike formal scientific names that are tightly regulated by nomenclatural rules, common names of plants vary considerably from place to place. And all of them have unusual and interesting histories. One of our most favorite native plants has a funny common name—fameflower. The species found in the county is the roundleaf fameflower, Talinum ter *ifolium, which is widely distributed from New Jersey to Georgia although populations are threatened in many states and relatively uncommon in the rest. It’s worth looking for. It can be found in open sandy or rocky habitats where little else can grow. We discovered a population on our property in a rocky stream bank, and when we transplanted one nearer the house it promptly dispersed to the gravel garden path where it’s thrived ever since. The fameflowers are all succulent plants in the Portulacaceae, a family that includes the familiar spring beauty (Claytonia virginica) and the. edible garden purslane (Portulaca oleracea). , Roundleaf fameflowers form 2-inch clusters of fleshy, tubular basal leaves supporting a 6-inchtall, delicate, leafless stalk that bears numerous pink-purple, star-shaped flowers. The flowering habit of these plants is most peculiar. Each flower opens only once, and only for about 2 hours in the afternoon. Ours open at around 3.00 pm and close again at around 4:30 or 5:00 pm. Once it closes, a flower slowly develops into a small greenish fruit, which eventually splits and sheds seeds. So all the work to produce a fameflower results in a mere two hours of show. Time in the sun Andy Warhol predicted that everyone would eventually be famous for fifteen minutes. At least these flowers get two hours! It’s been suggested that precision flowering like this is designed to somehow maximize exposure to pollinators. Fameflowers are typically pollinated by sweat bees, which we see swarming around our fameflowers from the time they open until the flowers close up again. But sweat bees are active during most hours of the day, commonly at times I Photo by Jim Lawrey Sweat bee pollinators Talinum teretifolium habitat Home of “Rock Pink* before 3:00 pm and after 5:00 pm. So we don’t buy this explanation. Instead of asking what this fleeting flowering behavior is for, it might be more helpful to ask what causes it to happen. The regulator appears to be a circadian biological clock. The trigger is endogenous and turned on every 24 hours without much regard to external conditions.. Circadian behaviors are known for all organisms, and in plants they include leaf folding, nectar production and flower opening. In humans, they are responsible for the jet-lagged feeling we experience when we cross too many time zones. The short but impressive flowering habit of these plants is thought to be the origin of the name fameflower since “fame is fleeting.” But we found out that it’s actually a case of an erroneous translation of a scientific name. See NATURE, Page B2 RAAC is sponsoring the showing of “Crash” at The Theatre on Gay Street, Washington, VA, Friday, September 2, 8:00 p.m. ‘Crash’ is a searing look at urban life By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News “Crash” is a must-see stunning drama about racial and ethnic relations in urban America today during one 36-hour period in Los Angeles. Starring Matt Dillon, Thandie Newton, Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock, Terrence Howard and Brendan Fraser, “Crash” is not only about the collision of cars on which L.A. is built, but also about the collision of races, cultures and classes. Screenwriter Paul Haggis (directed “Million Dollar Baby”) suggests that violent contact in word or on wheels is the only way to reach out and touch somebody. RAAC is sponsoring the showing of “Crash” at The .Theatre on Gay Street, Washington, VA, Friday, September 2, 8:00 p.m. In this film, a dozen diverse Los Angeles residents come into conflict over a carjacking, a traffic arrest, a break-in and various other incidents. The district attorney (Brendan Fraser) and feig wife (Sandra Bullock) are carjacked at gunpoint by two black men (Ludacris and Larenz Tate). At home, the wife orders the locks changed and then changed again because a Mexican (Michael Pena) did the first job. A black TV director (Terrence Howard) is stopped by two white cops, one a racist (Matt Dillon) and his partner (Ryan Phillippe). A Persian store owner (Shaun Toub), taken for an Arab, buys a gun for protection. Don Cheadle plays a detective who ties these stories together when he finds a dead body in the road. It is an intriguingly mixed and superb cast with Dillon as the standout Officer Ryan. His is the character with the most extreme variance of evil and good, brutality and generosity. A cynic who bullies people of color, he’s also a dutiful son caring for a dying father. Cheadle, as one of the film’s producers, creates a more sensitive and ambivalent cop. Haggis, who conceived the idea for “Crash” after he was carjacked, is the TV producer-writer (“EZ Street”) who found F.X. Toole’s boxing stories and adapted them into “Million Dollar Baby” for Clint Eastwood (who has since tapped him for two other scripts, including his upcoming Iwo Jima bio-drama “Faith of Our Fathers.”) “Crash” is cleverly plotted and^designed and suggests that acts of goodness, mercy and compassion matter, that anyone, at any moment, can make a crucial difference. It very convincingly argues that in a world where everything cam seem to be black amd white, nothing really is. Rated R for sexual scenes, obscenity and violence; run time is 107 minutes.

Polisi-Jones celebrated July wedding Long Island Sound was the setting for the wedding reception for Catherine Elizabeth Polisi and Andrew Wendell Jones who were married July 16 in Rye, New York, at the Church of the Resurrection. Catherine is the daughter of Elizabeth Marlowe Polisi and Joseph W. Polisi of Rye, New York. Andrew is the son of Susan and Bruce Jones of Washington, Virginia. The couple met at John Hopkins University where both received master's degrees in international relations. Following a honeymoon in Bali, they npw reside in Greenwich, Connecticut. Catherine is a freelance reporter and Andrew works in finance for General Electric. 1 Photo courtesy of Bruce Jones Catherine Elizabeth Polisi and Andrew Wendell Jones Orchard From Page B1 “This orchard belongs to my mother, Mary Williams. We’ve been selling apples and peaches over seventy-five years, I guess,” proprietor Eddie Williams said. “Both my parents were bom and raised in the county. My dad • his mother and his grandparents were here.” “Farming is my livelihood, not my hobby... It’s the worst addiction anybody ever had, farming, worse than drinking or drugs, you name it,” opined Williams. They have peaches still, including some Sunhighs if you’re in time. As the fall comes along, toward the end of September they make fresh cider twice a week, and will be open daily until November. Ohand if you have a big freezer, ask him about a fresh side of beef. Williams raises beef cattle. He has a breeding herd, and sells feeder cattle- cattle that others buy, feed, raise and sell. Jenkins’ Orchard, off Yancey Road, between Rt. 522 near Flint Hill and Rt. 231, is one of the more out of the way spots, but well worth looking for. The Jenkins name has been an essential part of the landscape of Rappahannock since the very beginning. On all the apple boxes you see stacked around the stand is printed the name Jerry Jenkins- the patriarch who founded these orchards in 1954. Ibday, Jenkins Orchards is still a family operation, run by the founder’s son James and grandson Jesse Jenkins. They have a large cold storage facility, so they can keep fruit a bit longer than some. Along with Bisco and Madison peaches, nectarines, red Ozark, yellow Shiro and purple Damson plums, - all still abundant, James Jenkins explained that they grow “About twenty to twenty-five varieties of apples, something to suit every taste just about,” from Paula Reds in season now, to Ozarks and Rambos in the next few weeks, and many more in the fall. They sell their own pickled peaches as well. Atypically, Jenkins offers pears, like the well known Bose and Bartlett, and the more obscure DeVoe and Magnus varieties. Their cold storage comes in handy here, as unlike peaches or apples, pears are best when picked before ripe, and slowly ripened while kept cool. One of the factors making orchard farming difficult is the amount of. manual labor involved. Veiy little of it is mechanized. And it isn’t simple; you have to have a certain amount of knowledge and skill. James Jenkins explained. “It takes time to learn. Mostly you learn from doing. It’s like anything else. You learn as you go, learn from mistakes you make. Nowadays people don’t want to take the time to learn how to do something. They just want a paycheck, you know... Most of the work has to be done by hand.” Open year round Roy’s Orchard, just up Old Hollow, off US-211 by Sperryville isn’t as old as the others. But proprietors Roy and Janet Alther have still been in business here for more than thirty years. And their roots here go back much further. Talking about how he got into the orchard business, Roy Alther said, “I worked for a man by the name of C.E. Johnson. My family worked for him. I worked in the orchards for him. We picked apples for him... 1975 is when I bought this place. The first planting was two hundred trees, and we’ve been adding ever since.” But they have several things going for them. They have Sunhigh peaches- although you’d better hurry. They carry a variety of produce from both their own and other area farms. They have farm fresh bacon, local eggs and unhotnogenized Creamline milk, fresh butter and yogurt from West Virginia. And they are the only one open daily, year round. There are lots of places you can get fresh peaches, plums and apples in Rappahannock. But the number is shrinking. Both statewide and nationwide, the total production of apples and peaches and the acreage devoted to orchards have gradually declined to a small degree over the last couple of decades. In Rappahannock, where apple orchards were once a mainstay of the local economy, apple production has dropped to less than a quarter of former levels in under a decade. And this is on top of a similar decline in the ‘60s and ‘70s. If this trend continues, time may be running out for getting fine, local apples, plums and peaches. But in the meantime, we’ve still got a few of the oldest and best orchards anywhere in Virginia here in Rappahannock. And, while summer is fading, peach season isn’t over yet. There are other orchards, farms and fruit stands besides these- these are simply some of the oldest and largest. Others can be found listed in the Rappahannock News’ 2005 Nature Bring in the botanist Botanist Stewart Ware of the College of William and Mary is an expert on Talinum and other native rock outcrop plants, and told us the story of its common name. Fameflower is a literal translation of a rarely used genus name, Phemeranthus, established for the American species of Talinum. This name comes from ephemera + anthus, meaning shortlived flower (the initial “e” of “ephemera” was dropped when creating the name presumably because of a conflict with an existing name). Phemeranthus is not widely used by botanists, who continue to assign all of these species to the genus Talinum But because Talinum is not translatable, common names established for these species made use of a literal translation of phemeranthus (“phemera” translates as “fame” in Greek). Even this common name did not enjoy wide usage until the late 1980’s when the Nature Conservancy and the various Natural Heritage programs began using it in species lists. It has since found its way into field guides, websites, and now the Rappahannock News. According to Dr. Ware, people never called the plant fameflower in the 1960s and 1970s and he dislikes the misapplied common name. He says that nonbotanists who know the plant call it “moss rose” or “rock pink” if they call it anything. We like Rock Pink although it sounds vaguely like an all-girl punk band. Anyway we’re going to use it from now on. Who knows? Maybe we’ll start a trend. We welcome your comments on this or anything else natural philosophical. Send to rappnature@aol.com.

Speculating on wasps, spiders and terrorist solutions' Solitary Hunting Wasps When I was a kid, I used to watch mud daubers, and I thought it was pretty neat how they would bring hundreds or thousands of tiny balls of mud and build their nest with them. The nests were a little smaller than a tennis ball, and rather irregular and lumpy in their appearance. They were probably solitary hunting wasps. Most folks just called them mud daubers. Now, I an dealing with another type of wasp, that, to me, is imminently more interesting, with nest building skills that seem more advanced. This wasp builds a tubular mud nest about the size of a carpenters pencil. At the cabin, they begin these nests in the grooves of the Till plywood, and they are very straight, and beautifully formed. These, I am certain, are Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com solitary hunting wasps. There is just one female doing all the building and hunting and egg laying, for each nest. This wasp builds a mud nest with many small compartments in it. In each compartment, she lays one egg. Then, she goes out to find something that the larvae can feed on, once it hatches. This is where the ‘hunting’ comes in. (Remember, one of the basic distinctions between wasps and bees is that, with few exceptions, wasps feed their larvae meat and bees feed their larvae honey.) Predator Wasps There are different species of solitary hunting wasps. Each species catches a particular victim, many of these are spiders, and a specific species of spider, at that. The wasps at the cabin catch a small yellow and brown spider. Then, they disable or paralyze the spider with a sting, and encase that poor fellow in one of the compartments with an eggWhen the wasp’s egg hatches, the larvae eats the spider, alive. If the wasp had killed the spider, it would rot before the egg hatched, and would not be fresh food for the larvae. Now,,I am not a big fan of spiders, but that does not seem like a particularly good way to go. I guess I feel a little bad for them, but, not that bad. They are spiders. Little drunken spiders I don’t mind the nests, so much. But, when they are on the porch, I get my long-blad ed screw driver and knock them off the wall of the cabin. Usually, when the nest hits the floor of the porch, the nest crumbles. Then, you see an amazing thing. It looks like a bunch of little, drunken spiders stumbling around, trying to regain their senses and their land legs, with some of them scrambling off, maybe to live another day, maybe not. Don’t know about that. The next step Thinking about this the other day and how present day society migjit be able to make use of this wasp technology to our benefit, I came up with an idea. Around the world there are scientists cloning sheep and cows and other animals. Researchers and bio-engineers in the reproductive area are coming up with new breeds of dogs and cats and just about everything else under the sun. I am considering sending this column to my congressman with a suggestion that they spend a few billion dollars on the development of a new and improved solitary hunting wasp. One that catches terrorists, paralyzes them, and seals them up in a mud tomb with an egg that will hatch into a larvae with a voracious appetite. I mean, yeah, I’d feel bad for them. But, not that bad. Road graffiti Have you noticed the graffiti painted on our newly paved main street and on Crest Hill Road, in the form of pink day-glow directional arrows? I’m not sure who put them ther?, other than to suspect it was some directionallychallenged individuals. But, they are ugly on our new main street. Maybe someone will get some flat black paint and cover them up. I guess a mean spirited person would cover them up and then paint some new ones pointing in the opposite direction. But, that wouldn’t be very good-natured. Get well soon You will remember that Bill Welch fell some weeks ago and broke his leg. It was a pretty bad break, and he has had some rough going at the Fauquier Hospital. TTie current news is, he is doing better and has been moved to Overlook for rehabilitation and physical therapy. Send him a card or stop in and say hello. And my sister, Thelma Crane, fell and broke two ribs last week. Honestly, sometimes it seems as if it wasn’t for bad luck we wouldn’t have any luck at- all. Need to get her up and around soon, the Brady’s are having a reunion in a week or two. Until next time, stay well, and be careful out there. Create a backyard habitat to attract butterflies I have done a lot of looking around at garden centers , nurseries and yards this summer and am more impressed with the ever-widening range and diversity of plants available. Just a few years ago perennials were relegated to a a small section in the back and now they are displayed in the largest space. That's good to see. I think that all gardeners should do what they can to create gardens that will attract wildlife. You would not need a big space to do this.

You can plant certain annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees that will attract a variety of butterfly species to your garden. Everyone loves butterflies. The most common plant for attracting them is the wellnamed “butterfly bush.” Once you have seen dozens of brilliantly-colored butterflies flitting about on these plants you will be hooked and want more. Butterflies love butterfly weed, daylilies, hibiscus, phlox and the Mexican sunflower. Butterflies are day-feeders and are attracted to bright colored flowers and their sweet nectars. Plant your butterfly garden in a south or southwestern direction to provide the afternoon sun, which the butterflies love. Moisture sources such as puddles or depressions Washington i Jan Clatterbuck I 675-3338 |jclatterbuck@ timespapers.com are also needed.

A little note from Woodville By Bessie Norman Special to the Rappahannock News Bessie Norman of Woodville, sisters Hazel Veltoven of Culpeper and niece, Sharon Dwyer of Bealeton have returned home after vacationing in Chicago with their brother, and sisterlaw, A. B. and Joan Hawkins. On Thursday, they were joined by A. B. and Joan's immediate family, Sandy, Mike, Julie and daughter, Nichole and Ray, Joan's brother. On Friday other family members were Frances and Jeff Huntly from Port Washington, Wis. What a surprise they had on their sightseeing tour on Friday. They rode for three hours in a white limousine, with a black top, and the chauffeur told them about the many sights of downtown Chicago. They took in Grant Park, Lincoln Park, Soldier Field, Wrigley Field, Navy Pier, The Loop, and of course Sears Tower, being the tallest building in the world, and many other places. Mrs. Hawkins prepared * delicious meals and on Saturday she and her husband were hosts at the Bohemian Crystal Restaurant for dinner and it was wonderful! The flights on United Airlines were “breath taking” especially if you had a window! We were delayed on Sunday for one and half hour on return from Midway due to heavy overcast, but they landed at Dulles with no problems after being in the air for one hour and thirty six minutes. The three of them had lots of happy • memories and thank God for making it happen, and a safe trip back home.

Hammocks, hounds and hummingbirds August in Rappahannock County By James G. Brown Special to the Rappahannock News At eight o’clock the other evening the air was still and hot as I topped off the gas tank and went inside to pay. ’ A storm had gone through a half an hour before but all it did was settle the dust around the service station and top the humidity off at 100 ■percent. The thermometer said only 86 degrees but I think it was so glad to feel a bit of rain that it dropped in anticipation and then wasn’t willing to go back up to where it should have been. The clerk had had a long day Wisps of damp hair hung over her face as she absent-mindedly ran my credit card through the reader. While the card was being approved she stared out the window toward a weathered frame house across the field. “Grandma’s on the porch,” she said, to no one in particular. “Momma’s on the porch. I wisht I was on the porch.” Some say God gave us August so we would appreciate iced tea. My friend Nigel says it took the Devil to come up with a prospect bad enough to make us appreciate August. But Nigel isn’t from these parts and he doesn't know about siestas in hammocks on shaded hilltops. Science calls it convection but that breeze can be downright glorious. Add a few cicadas and a view out over the Piedmont and it can be August forever as far as I’m concerned, so long as I can stay in the hammock, that is, from mid-day to late afternoon. But every year August has a surprise in store for us. The Dog Days broke last night. I felt it first on the breeze that came up sharply as I stood on the front porch taking in the last of the evening light. Soon after dark the baying of Jerry’s coon hounds rose from the river on the same steady northwest breeze, modulating with their nearness to the quarry, but always celebrating their release from the heat. We slept with the windows open for the first time since spring, no longer numbed by the white noise of the air conditioner but lulled by the rustle of leaves. The weather man will talk about the first swoop of the northern jet stream down over the Great Lakes, how it’s pushing the Gulf air offshore as it advances into the Mid-Atlantic Region. OK, but there’s nothing abstract about the change this morning as I head for the barn: the dew is cold; my arms are chilled and the air is so clear that for miles around I can see every walnut and sycamore that has begun to yellow. The hummingbirds must have had a wake-up call, too. After two months of a limitless variety of floral nectars to choose from, they’re finding that most plants have shifted from flowering to seed setting, so they’re back at the feeder this morning, trading flavor for energy as the prospect of the long trip south begins to loom in their miraculous little brains. For us, the shift is from worrying about weeds and fertilizer to calculating stocks of hay and winter preserves, pulling up the beans and cukes and maybe planting some collards. I wonder how the sweet potatoes are doing .... No one’s under the illusion that there won’t be more hot days and sticky nights, but this brief inroad of autumn quickens the step and portends the crisp colorful days of Indian Summer. # ’ A' Call to Advertise! 540-347-4222 BUILDING SUPPLIES CHERRY STREET BUILDING SUPPLY CORP.
