Trooper Corbett rolls after speeder By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer The roads were wet in Rappahannock County thin past Saturday, August 27, from off and on rain showers. At around 3:30 p.m., Virginia State Trooper KerriAnne Corbett Was patrolling westbound on US211 hear little Washington when she spotted a small passenger vehicle aggressively driving at excessive speed on the eastbound lane of US-211. Trooper Corbett crossed the .median and was pursuing the vehicle when her patrol car hydroplaned and ran off the left shoulder of the road. The trooper's vehicle struck a steep rocky embankment and rolled multiple times before coming to a rest on its roof and sliding onto the roadway. The Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue squad responded. Trooper Corbett was wearing her seatbelt and was transported to Fauquier Hospital with minor bruises. Corbett's State Police car was totaled. “It's not the car I'm concerned with. I can replace the car. When it's one of your own it hits close to home,” commented State Police First Sergeant Gary Settle. Hamilton needs help to preserve part of Rappahannock heritage By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer Dotted about the countryside of Rappahannock County are a multitude of old family graveyards. Right now, there are two graveyards in particular whose occupants' families are trying to preserve and protect. Marilyn Porter Price, who currently lives in Manassas, has family in a graveyard in the area behind the Flatwood recycling center, near the old Pine Knot Inn. While the land was sold to developers, Price is investigating how she can get access to the site. This is not to say that there has been any problem. Price, who was one of the first four blacks graduating in the earliest years of integration at the then new Rappahannock County High School, is just now finding out how she needs to go about ensuring the sanctity of the site. Dr. James G. Hamilton is in a similar situation. Hamilton's family graveyard is just over the county line, near the intersection of US-211 and Rte. 621 in Amissville. Hamilton, a retired professor of African American studies, and currently a resident of Lunenburg, Massachusetts, is trying to preserve the graveyard, arrange to keep it up, and keep it in the family. In the course of a decades long quest after his family roots, Hamilton has found American Indians, colonial era free blacks, whites, slaves and European royalty on his family tree. Now, in his retirement, Hamilton is moving to Rappahannock, where his immediate roots are.

Photo by Bill Kossler Sperryville squad in need of rescue By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad (SVRS) is in trouble. Problems of personnel, internal conflict, and administrative confusion could threaten the future of the squad. Symptomatic of these difficulties is a recent enforcement action taken against the SVRS by the Office of Emergency Medical Services (OEMS) on June 28. The enforcement action primarily concerned SVRS personnel Bill Johnson and Stephani Atkins Scott violating state and local regulations by responding to emergency calls they were not certified to handle and misrepresenting their emergency medical qualifications. Both Johnson and Scott separately maintain that they acted as they did out of a desire to help an injured person, and tha: they were forced into the situation b\ a critical lack of staffing at the SVRS. “I knew I was violating company policy. I'm there to try and help the community I was comfortable giving the patient care,” said Bill Johnson.

Squ^) From Page aK'Ambulance 7. Both-'«vgje ■ "EMT-B's,” meaning’ttiat' they were certified by the State of Virginia as having completed the most basic level of EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) training. Scott had been a tech since March and Johnson had extensive experience in rescue squads from 1968 to 1974. However, Virginias OEMS requires that emergency responders in an ambulance, besides being certified as EMTs and Emergency Vehicle Operators include a certified Attendantin-Charge. That is, , someone “released” to oversee emergency care and transport by the state and the local operational medical director who is in charge of that region. Neither Scott nor Johnson is released as an Attendant-in-Charge, and none was at the time available to accompany them, meaning that they could not legally respond to the emergency call. The other nearest ambulance was returning from Fauquier Hospital and was at least 35 minutes away. Although there are several differing accounts of their discussion inside the ambulance. prior to answering the call, Scott and Johnson both emphasized that they felt able to handle the call and that they were the best chance to get to the scene and help the victim quickly. “I understand them, you're sitting there just wanting to help somebody, r and [the| call] isn't that hard to haridife,” said Ann Spieker, Chief of the Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department (WVFRD), of ;Scott and Johnson. When the SVRS ambulance arrived at the scene, Jonathan Bankston, a released Attendant inCharge from the Washington rescue department was already on the scene giving care with the help of another EMT, having arrived in a private vehicle. They helped Johnson and Scott get the patient into the ambulance. Johnson asked Bankston if he could accompany the patient to the hospital but Bankston didn't realize that neither Scott nor Johnson were released to give care by themselves and said he was unable to come. Scott and Johnson did not volunteer the information that neither of them were correctly certified to transport the patient without a released Attendant-in-Charge. Thinking that the SVRS members had the situation under control, Bankston canceled other ambulances that were coming to help with the patient, and Scott and Johnson transported the patient to the hospital without incident. “I knew I was violating company procedure, and I didn’t want to drag [Bankston] into the haranguing I thought I was going to receive,” admitted Johnson. Suspended Both Johnson and Scott were temporarily suspended for their actions. This incident in itself might not have led to an enforcement action against the entire Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad, but it was followed by 1 Correction fSwwfiBfiiWWPWM In an article entitled “Request Denied” which appeared in the July 27, 2005 issue, the following quote appeared. “Konick argued to the Board that this decrease is 'a hardship approaching confiscation. It is almost - [the BZA's] primary function to prevent such takings or preventions.' ” The transcript of the BZA proceedings revealed that Mr. Konick actually said: ‘That's almost [the BZA's] primary function, to prevent such unconstitutional takings or limitations from happening.” The Rappahannock News regrets the error.

Virginia 22747 several other incidents of a similar nature. According to the Investigation Report by EMS Program Representative Tim Kimble, “On May 7 and 14, 2005 units from Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad again responded to incidents with inadequate staffing.” Both incidents involved Stephani Scott responding to calls without the proper personnel to attend and transport a patient, and it was the combination of these incidents that led to the enforcement action brought against the SVRS. As part of the enforcement action, all members of the SVRC were required by OEMS Investigator Tim Kimble to undergo retraining in Virginia s EMS regulations and the protocols set by Dr. Jordan Crovatin, the Operational Medical director who oversees the SVRS by August 15. “This was so that they could understand the divisions between the laws. There was concern that the Board of Directors didn’t understand all the rules of all the agencies that were being applied,” explained EMS project representative Tim Kimble. “The rules are there for a reason, because of inexperienced people. Yes, they've been through the class, but they haven't run with people,” said Mary Griffin, Captain of the SVRS. Stephani Scott has since left the SVRS for another rescue company, but she feels that her situation at the Sperryville Rescue squad was complicated by internal problems with the squad. “There's a lack of training out there. . . .We need more medics and we need more medics that respond to calls,” explained Scott. “I'm one of maybe three people who get out of bed and respond to calls.” Pile of problems Filling an ambulance with the right combination of properly certified and trained personnel has become a problem in Sperryville in recent years. “We are low on people. Right now we are in the process of rebuilding,” said Donald Gore, President of the SVRS. Being low on people not only diminishes the number of responders available to answer in emergency call, it also seriously impairs the Sperryville squad's ability to train people to the level necessary to function as “released” Attendants-inCharge. Becoming certified as a “released” EMT requires many dozens of hours spent in ambulances responding to different kinds of emergency calls under the guidance of other “released” EMTs trained to teach, called the precepting program. Because of the SVRS's low manpower combined with a low volume of calls, it has become very difficult for aspiring “released” EMT s to get the supervised hours that they need. ‘ Look at the number of calls that they run, they run one or two calls a month,that makes it difficult,” said Kimble. Part of the reason behind that lack of manpower may be the conflicts within the SVRS. The organization has lost several people in recent months,' some to other companies, some who have decided to leave EMS for good. “Definitely, we have some personality conflicts,” admitted Captain Mary Griffin. There is currently tension within the squad between its administrative staff and operational staff. Board of Directors meetings for the SVRS were described by many members of the organization as especially loud and contentious. Both sides see the other as overstepping its authority. “There is no chain of command there,” said Scott. However, the Sperryville squad is trying to recover from its problems. There are at least three prospective members due to begin training soon, and some former members are planning to return to help the SVRS. “We re working on getting some neople back,” said Gore. Getting help Bill Johnson thinks the County can help the Sperryville squad. ”1 don't see any reason the county can't afford career staff paramedics,” said Johnson. Even a small number of paid paramedics would allow the squad to cover more calls during the day, when most of its members work, and give the volunteer staff the chance to precept at night. However, Johnson has dim hopes for his suggestion. “They want to call and be protected twenty four seven, but they don't want to pay for it,” said Johnson. President Donald Gore has a different plan: ”I'd like for the people to support us. We offer free training and there's classes starting soon in Culpeper. Just help us out.” Monty Tayloe may be reached at mtayloe@timespapers.com The Old Habit Main St., Marshall Huge Sale Labor Day Weekend 50% to 75% Off Fri. & Sat. 10-6; Sun. & Mon. 10-4 540-364-2396 8363 W.

Having inherited family land in Amissville, he is preparing to build a house there for himself. And he wants to retain access to, and maintain his family’s graveyard. Hamilton would like it known that he would be glad of any assistance in upkeep for the site. Historical register The Rappahannock Historical Society keeps a register of family graveyards like Hamilton's and Price's. Donna Fisher and Fran Eldred of the Society would like to encourage folks to register their family cemeteries with them, to help preserve and protect them, and also to make them accessible as a resource for academics. Fisher says although it is illegal to disinter or damage family graveyards like these, without the permission of all family members, it happens all the time. When it does, it cannot be undone and the loss is permanent. Sites like these two are especially valuable, Fisher says, because records of the historical black population of Rappahannock are sparse. Preserving the past Price and Hamilton are attempting to preserve these two particular graveyards. The significance to people is varied and complex. To some, they are an inconvenience, an obstacle to building or sale. Tb the law, and to most people, these small plots are an irreplaceable resource, to be preserved for their status as consecrated ground; as the respected final resting place for the' mortal remains of the departed. More, they are part and parcel of the distinctive character of this locale, a part of this community’s unique thumbprint upon the landscape. They are a material historical resource, valuable for archaeologists, historians and students of genealogy- gyAnd to the families whose . ancestors lay buried within these small plots, their meanings are manifold and more personal. They are a tangible, concrete connection to the past, to one s roots and departed family. They can be a welcome, or unwelcome reminder of where one came from- or a symbol of the cohesiveness of the family. And they can be simply a part, a component of one’s self, one’s perception of who he or she is, in the grander scheme of things. Watch where you dig It is important for developers and homeowners alike to realize that under Virginia law, damaging or removing grave markings is a felony. Even when the land has been sold, the owner of the land must make reasonable arrangements for both family members of the deceased and people doing genealogical research to have access to the site. Nonetheless, according to the Rappahannock Historical Society, graves are bulldozed over all the time. If you know anyone who might be interested in helping Hamilton with a bit of upkeep at his site, email him at dramesghamilton@yahoo.com or call his cell at: (978)-4131973.

Longlea (2001-Present): The Opus Dei Years This is the third in a series of articles focusing on the history of the Longlea Estate By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News People have always been struck by Longlea. It is not often that one sees in the Virginia countryside a full-scale stone Tudor-style home, threestorys high, set on rising ground with magnificent views, with a stream the size of the Hazel River flowing by and the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance. From the 1930s, guests of Charles Marsh and Alice Glass, who had created Longlea, commented on the elegance of the estate, the views, and the tranquility of the place, a site just over the Rappahannock County line in Culpeper County. John Figher recently recalled for the writer his first impression of Longlea in the autumn of 1965, before the American Security Council Foundation, which he headed, bought it. Driving with a Rappahannock County realtor along a single-lane gravel road off of Route 707 and coming upon the manor house he said, “Wow!” Inside he said, “Wow!” Of the view toward the west from the terrace he said, “Wow!” In November 2000, when the wife of the anonymous donor of Longlea to Opus Dei, a religipus organization, first saw the peaceful setting, a gifting decision was made within minutes. The story is this. In late 1999, she and her husband had attended Opus Dei retreats held at the Tidewater Inn in Maryland or at other places lacking the quiet and privacy really needed for religious contemplation. The wife took it upon herself to find a better place. She contacted a broker, and saw Longlea. After that first decisive visit, she returned with her husband and Father Stetson of Wyoming House, Inc., a non-profit Opus Dei residence in the Kalorama section of Washington, D.C. Her husband agreed. The site was ideal for a conference center and retreat. He paid $7.4 million in cash for the entire property, and Longlea was accepted by Father Stetson on behalf of Opus Dei. The sale was completed on February 2, 2001. A fair amount of repairs and upgrades were done by Wyoming House before Longlea was ready for use in 2002. Wagner Roofing replaced the slate roof shingles on the back of the manor house, and used good shingles from both front and rear to restore the front roof. A new shingle roof was put on the Office/Library building. A media center in the manor house was converted into a chapel. A bell was placed on the front lawn, a gift from an Opus Dei member who stipulated it be rung twice a year, on July 4th and on the donor's father's birthday. In the past few weeks, the former library has been renamed Overlook, and the Ogle Hall residence is now called Hazelwood. Otherwise, little has changed since 2001. Opus Dei at Longlea Opus Dei is a part of the Catholic Church called a personal prelature. Composed of ordinary individuals, it falls directly under the Pope. Opus Dei, which is Latin for “Work of God,” was founded by Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer in Spain in 1928. He was canonized by Pope John Paul II on October 6, 2002. The Pope Photos courtesy of Ed O'Brien View from Longlea toward the west and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Old Rag Mountain can be seen in the distance. described St. Josemaria as “the saint of the ordinaryEssentially, the organization helps individuals achieve holiness in the course of daily life, with Opus Dei providing spiritual direction. Anyone can attend Opus Dei's spiritual activities, but joining requires a vocational calling. In committing to Opus Dei, one is regarded as having “a personal call from God to place one's whole life at his service, spreading the message of the universal call to holiness in ordinary work and social life.” One's life, job, and social setting remain as before, but one's “daily life and apostolic efforts should reflect their commitment to God's service.” There are 85,000 members of Opus Dei worldwide, with some 3,000 in the United States. About 98 percent are lay people, and most are married. The priests within Opus Dei come from its membership. Making a commitment to become a member of Opus Dei is a serious undertaking and not something to be taken lightly. Retreats at Longlea provide a way for a member to quietly think about their life, their relationship to God, and to pray, away from the distractions of the everyday world. There are retreats for men and for women, but not both together. One obvious reason is to prevent distraction, but primarily spiritual direction at retreats is oriented toward a man's point of view, needs, and understanding or a woman's point of view, needs, and understanding. Throughout Opus Dei, this approach allows spiritual formulation and direction to be specifically focused on homogeneous groups, whether male, female, young adults, professionals, children, etc. At Longlea, weekend retreats begin at 9:30 p.m. on Thursday and end at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday. The male and female retreats are held on alternate weeks, with a full schedule running from February through October, FISH DAY IT’S TIME FOR STOCKING Channel Catfish, Hybrid Bluegill.

Individual rooms are available and dining is family-style. In all, between 800 and 1,000 people attend Longlea each year. General information about Opus Dei is on the Internet at www.opusdei.org The Da Vinci Code In the spring of 2003, about two years after Opus Dei took possession of Longlea, Dan Brown’s novel, “The Da Vinci Code,” appeared on the scene. A fictional story, it casts the Catholic Church, and particularly Opus Dei, in a conspiratorial light by suggesting that the church has been suppressing an alternate history of Jesus Christ. By rolling together interesting factual information, symbolism, and metaphor in a long narrative line extending over two thousand years, Dan Brown ties together many things, e.g., paganism, Walt Disney, code words, anagrams, accurately described architectural structures, secret societies. He produced a fictional story that some seem to think is true. The gist of “The Da Vinci Code” is this. Jesus Christ married Mary Magdalene, and a pregnant Mary escaped to France to bring forth a child to carry on a royal bloodline. The book juxtaposes a documented belief in the equality of man and woman, pagan concepts, Jesus being mortal and not divine, and a different End of Days, saying all this has been suppressed over the ages by a male-oriented Catholic Church trying to eliminate this interpretation. Opus Dei is made out to be the villain in recent times. It is said that over 46 million copies of “The Da Vinci Code” have been sold. A movie is being made of the book. The Catholic Church and Opus Dei obviously have been upset by the book and the film. The story fine is now being softened for the movie and reference to Opus Dei may be dropped. The film producers do not want to lose market share by turning off many of the 1.1 billion baptized Catholics around the world, including 66 million in the United States. The book has triggered other money makers. There are Da Vinci Tours in Paris and at one of the sites in the book, Chateau Villette. Books exposing the Da Vinci Code’s story line have been published. The future of Longlea For the foreseeable future, Opus Dei plans to continue to operate the Longlea Conference Center for retreats, classes, etc. A consultant, Greg Hamm, now of Reston Group LLC, has been employed by Opus Dei's Wyoming House, Inc., for the past two years to look at a longrange plan for Longlea. He notes that Wyoming House “is intensely focused on maintaining the unique aesthetic integrity of the manor house and its retreat environment.” Although Culpeper County's draft Comprehensive Plan has changed the designation of Boston, VA, where Longlea is Rev. William H. Stetson at the Longlea Manor. After being the first Opus Dei representative to see Longlea, Fr. Stetson has conducted many retreats there. located, from a “Village Center” to a “Convenience Center,” a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Longlea, approved in 1994, is still on the books. The PUD “could accommodate expanded commercial facilities, an 18-hole golf course and up to 1,000 residents.” Of the 866acre property owned by Wyoming House, Inc., Greg Hamm has said that, “we are evaluating land plan options that would allow for residential development on the property, provided that the existing retreat environment be maintained, and in some ways improved. This would likely involve fewer than 1,000 units and generous preservation of open spaces, not required by the current zoning.” OPEN HOUSE EASTWOODS NURSERIES Washington Va Specializing in Japanese Maples invites you to visit Look for signs on Rt 211/ we are off Long Mt.

For many who embraced living near the coastline, the sea has betrayed them as it has risen up and literally engulfed and swallowed neighborhoods.

Rumors are rampant about its readiness. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Bob Chappell is working hard to ensure that it opens next week but construction challenges and some water damage will dictate that students and staff will most likely be inconvenienced. Inconvenience is one thing. Safety is another. County building inspector Ritchie Burke has been on the scene as well as numerous other1 inspecting agencies to make sure that once opened all will be well for employees and students. It's easy to blame officials when things go wrong and don't happen according to plan. ItT harder to work cooperatively toward solutions, lh.

There is trouble brewing on your border in the Boston area. Many of you are familiar with Longlea, the former site of the Freedom Studies Center located about 1 mile into Culpeper County along Route 522. That parcel of land, currently owned by Opus Dei, is now the focus of a planned development of 879 housing units, with additional office and retail space. Citizens in the Boston area are concerned about the negative impacts that this development will have on their rural lifestyle. The concerns are many; the effects on groundwater sources of over 800 housing units, the emptying of up to 450,000 gallons a day of treated wastewater into the Hazel River, increased traffic on Route 522, fire and rescue squad support, utilities being brought to the development, and the need for additional schools. We would normally not advocate that Rappahannock County citizens go sticking their noses into the business of Culpeper County. However, if the Longlea development proceeds, its impact will not be confined to Culpeper County. It will have a major impact on Rappahannock County and could possibly be a precursor of what the county will have to face itself one day. Imagine Route 522 with over a thousand more cars traveling that curvy, hilly, two-lane road. There has even been talk of a traffic light in Boston to handle the increased traffic! This additional traffic will not just be cars as the development includes a commercial component that will have heavy truck traffic on a daily basis. In addition, many of the Longlea residents will be working in Northern Virginia. When these folks find Culpeper roads too crowded, you can bet they will start looking for alternative routes. Look out Woodville, Sperryville, Castleton and others as increased volumes of morning and evening commuters start passing through your way. Many thought that a large-scale sub-division and commercial development would be the last thing that would come to Boston. They were wrong. Similarly, many in Rappahannock County feel that they are safe and secure from the explosive growth that has occurred in the neighboring counties. But when big developers with big money see rolling countryside, they do not see cattle and horses covering those hills. They see homes, “McMansions,” the denser the better, which will enlarge their pocketbooks while removing more and more open space permanently. Rappahannock County, you could very well be next. What can you do? Perhaps someone or a group could purchase the 800 plus acres of Longlea and preserve it as farmland or large parcels. Others can speak with their friends and relatives who live in Culpeper County to have them voice their opposition to the development of Longlea. Since Boston lies in both Culpeper and Rappahannock Counties, what happens in one county impacts the other. The leaders from Rappahannock should let their counterparts in Culpeper know that Longlea will impact Rappahanock County and should be discussed jointly. The Culpeper County Board of Supervisors will be addressing the approval of the wastewater treatment plant at Longlea at their Tuesday, September 6 meeting. This is the first step toward breaking ground for the development. We encourage anyone concerned to come to the 7:00 pm meeting at 302 North Main Street in Culpeper. Danny and Paula Butler Sims Boston Contributing to the Krebser Fund for Rappahannock County Conservation (KFRCC) An August 18th article on the upcoming "Savoring the Blue Ridge" event highlighted the purpose of the Krebser Fund: to preserve atrisk farmland and open space acreage by purchasing conservation easements and providing financial assistance to landowners with high priority properties. The article failed to clarify how donors are able to make a charitable gift to the fund. The KFRCC is managed by a Board, hand-picked by Dr. Krebser before his death, of 10 Rappahannock residents representing charitable conservation and agricultural-minded groups such as RCCA, RLEP and RFA, among others. The Fund is administered by the Piedmont Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization created to hold and manage special funds and gifts that support land conservation in the Virginia Piedmont. Simply put-all gifts to the Krebser Fund are tax deductible. Through the Piedmont Foundation the Krebser Fund can accept gifts of cash, securities, property, appreciated assets, as well as, help donors construct taxadvantaged planned gifts such as trusts, bequests, and life income plans. The Piedmont Foundation currently manages a total of seven (7) land conservation funds (of which the Krebser Fund is one) and other endowment monies dedicated for conservation purposes throughout a 9 county region. Gifts made to the Krebser Fund, however, are restricted for use only in Rappahannock County to protect natural resources and properties with significant conservation values. We are very honored to have our first major fund-raiser at The Inn at Little Washington. The Board is confident that this event will allow the Krebser Fund to further expand the protection of the scenic beauty and agricultural way-of-life in Rappahannock County. Tax-deductible gifts and donations to the Krebser Fund can be sent to The Piedmont Foundation at 45 Homer Street, Warrenton, VA 20188. Checks should be made out to the Piedmont Foundation with the notation of The Krebser Fund.

Farms aren’t farms without farmers Sperryville farmer Cliff Miller caps off a series of articles written about creative farming strategies with his thoughts about the future of farming in Rappahannock County. Living in Rappahannock County is a great privilege. There is a strong consensus among our residents and political leaders that we have a uniquely beautifully natural setting of farms and forests that inspires us to do everything we can to protect it going forward. Of course there have been and will be changes to the landscape, but there are many individuals and citizen groups that are working to keep the county open and scenic. The efforts toward increasing the land under easement and protecting our water quality and view sheds, are tremendous, and they are showing encouraging signs of success. Like The Forum Cliff Miller many others, my family has put most of our generations old farm under easement and has placed riparian buffers on every stream on our property. However, I realize that the biggest challenge faced by our , land- and Rappahannock as a whole- is to ensure that the land is farmed and forested responsibly and sustainably way into the future. Working farms and forests and the people that make them work are the glue that will secure the qualities most of us love in this county. I and my family members are not interested in selling our land, period, yet it is increasingly unrealistic to expect a family member to choose to take over. Our challenge is to discover what will improve the odds that our land will be farmed responsibly and sustainably in the future and still be attractive for my heirs to continue to own. So I need to attract farmers who have the knowledge and skill to farm our land sustainably over the long haul, treating it as their own. 'Ibday’s paper has an article (see page A9) about one attempt at that. Rachel Bynum and Eric Plaksin are very talented farmers who are bringing a great deal to our community. At thirty, they are planning to grow old farming and raising their family at Waterpenny Farm on land owned by my family. I expect they are better at what they do than most farmers in the country and I rejoice that they are finding success farming in our community. It was easier for me than Eric and Rachel to have them come and begin to farm the land and see if it suited and would make a long term home for them. While I gave some incentives to help their venture be successful for the first several years, they put - all of themselves into making it happen and had to have a tremendous amount of faith that I would work conscientiously towards a long term agreement that would be equitable. Coming to that agreement was not easy for me. I am sure it was also challenging for them. It is important to have clearly thought out what things are fundamentally necessary for each of us and to make those things happen. We have done that and I smile every day to see the great things happening at Waterpenny and their beautiful home and family. I am glad that I chose to lease the land to Eric and Rachel rather than to crop or lease it more traditionally. I believe we need to look at different ways of farming because small farmers are getting crowded out of the old ones. My focus at present is on working with another young farmer, Rebecca Brown, who is building a fascinating business raising and selling directly to consumers healthy grass fed and finished beef and lamb and free range pork and chicken eggs in a management intensive, natural manner on the 270 acres of grass we have (Rapp News July 7, page A8). Becky and I agree on our shared goals but reaching a long term agreement will be much more involved because of the amount of land and the capital investment involved. However, the same principals apply. Becky, a very talented farmer, will need to have the facilities, animals and equipment to manage her operation sustainably over the long haul. She is 1.6 years into her stay here and I hope we will have a mutually satisfac tory long term agreement in the next year or two. In the meantime, she is operating as if it had already happened and our community and my soils, animals and family are much better for her being here. The energy Eric, Rachel and she bring to our farm is electric. When we are settled, then I will begin the same search for a talented person to rent and manage our forest land. I hope others will try the models presented in this three part series. Rachel, Eric, Becky, Trista Scheuerlein and Joyce Abell (June 2, Page A9) and I will be happy to talk with anyone about our experiences to date. Please remember the two popular bumper stickers: “Farms aren’t farms without farmers” and “(Rappahannock) Farmland lost is farmland lost forever”. Cliff Miller is the owner of , Mt. Vernon Farm in Sperryville. Back-to-School Synopsis: School supplies shouldn’t burden teachers or students School already has started in some places around the country, and the rest of nation's students will be taking their seats within the next few days. But getting ready for school-for both teachers and kids-has changed dramatically during the past generation, and not for the better. Kids and parents used to be responsible for getting the school wardrobe ready for the year—a new pair of oxfords to be worn every day and dutifully changed to old shoes upon returning home, new wash pants and shirts for boys and several dresses for girls. School supplies meant a writing tablet, a couple of yellow No. 2 pencils and a box of 16 sharp new crayons. These days, the ante has been severely upped. In most school districts, families get a list of what they're expected to show up with at the school door on the first day of class, and that can include not only very specific requirements for mechanical pencils and dryerase markers but hygienic and janitorial supplies such as antibacterial cleaners, facial tissues and even toilet paper. That shouldn’t be happening. Nor should teachers be forced to pay out of their own pockets for basic classroom instructional materials that help them get the educational point across to larger and larger classes that come in with more and more social deficits and require ever-more sophisticated teaching methods to succeed. But that's the pass we've come to in this country. As reported in the New York Times a few days ago, a survey by the national Education Association, the largest teachers' union in the country, showed that in 1996, teachers paid an average of $408 during the school year to purchase materials for their classrooms. Five years later, the figure had risen to $443 yearly. In a similar online survey done this year by the NEA, the 700 teachers who responded spent an average of $1,200 of their own money-that's a whopping $130 every month of the academic year directly out of their paycheck-to subsidize the education effort. That's a bit like asking reporters to give up their mileage reimbursements and buy their own notebooks, expecting firefighters to chip in for the gas when the alarm bell rings or wanting retail 28x30 Canterbury $181/Mo I ^ x 24*32 Windsor $16&'Mo Paneiuo<J Kit onfy $5,375 7.49% financing some restrictions appty Any Style 2 Story 30x40 . $249/Mo Custom Garages Cabins Homes 20x22 Oxford $116/Mo Panehzed kit only $3 969 800-722-0466 Call for FREE brochure!

IASI tatiDOtf M 1663/ ^ Capital Eye Randi Bjornstad clerks to help pay the electric bill for the stores where they work. A couple of members of the U.S. Congress have become concerned enough about this situation that they've introduced bills to do something about it. Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan introduced H.R. 2989, which he calls the "Teacher Tax Relief Act." His bill would increase the amount that teachers can claim as a credit for money they've spent on their students to $400, from the current $250 level. Rep. Ron Paxil of Texas also has submitted a bill that takes a slightly different appipach. His proposal, H.R. 402, the "Teacher Tax Cut Act," would allow teachers simply to subtract $1,000 from the federal income tax that they owe. Camp's bill probably addresses the issue of teacher reimbursement better, because it's tied directly to the amount that teachers spend to improve the educational environment for their students. Paul's bill seeks more to reward teachers for the job that they do--"(to) let America’s professional educators know that the American people and the Congress respert their work," he says-whether they spend extra money on their students or not. However, Camp's bill, while the better approach, doesn't go quite far enough. Teachers who use their own money to purchase supplies for their classrooms-whether educational materials or construction paper or cleaning prod . ucts-should get all their money back, not just a maximum of $400. By limiting the amount, we perpetuate the problem, to quote the old song, that "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer," because higher-paid teachers in wealthier districts will be able to afford to subsidize their jobs far more than their counterparts in poor, rural and inner-city schools. Rep. Sue Kelly of New York, herself a former schoolteacher, urged her fellow members of Congress to support Camp's bill. "When teachers take such great initiative in their teach ing methods (to buy classroom supplies), they should not be taxed on the money they are putting back into our classrooms to help our children learn," Kelly said.

Back to SchoolSports Panthers beached at exhibition By Monty Taylok Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County High School Panthers varsity football team lost their first game of the season 32-6, an exhibition match against Colonial Beach High School of Colonial Beach, VA. “The offense, was sloppy and the defense was bad;” said Coach Kemp Pullin. The Colonial Beach Drifters scored on two passes and two runs, causing Coach Pullin to rethink his defensive scheme and personnel. “We don’t have the athletes or the speed to execute the defense,” said Pullin This is the Panther’s first year of competing in varsity football with a district schedule, and they are anxious to show that RCHS can field a competitive football team. The Panthers play in the very tough Bull Run District, against larger schools with long running programs like George Mason and Loudoun County. The exhibition against Colonial Beach, which doesn’t count on the district schedule, was supposed to provide an early confidence booster and testing ground to fledgling Panther football. “Being a new football team, these guys think that halfway right is enough, and it isn’t, not on varsity,” said Pullin. In practice the Panthers had been showing improvement, but according to Pullin, they failed to bring their practice intensity to game day. “It was not what I expected, the effort and intensity were not there.” explained Pullin. The news wasn’t all bad from Colonial Beach, as the Panthers racked up close to Rappahannock News Staff Photo Monty Tayloe GETTING BETTER: The Panthers try to fix what went wrong in practice the Monday after the game. 200 rushing yards, ground covered mostly by junior running back Bobby Czekaj. “As bad it was, I can’t believe that we can’t get bet ter,” said Pullin.

Running Panthers By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer RCHS Cross Country has a new coach and a new philosophy. “We’re trying to put a little more • emphasis on conditioning and keep it absolutely fun,” said new Cross Country Panthers Head Coach Dave Gillis. This may be his first season coaching cross country, but Gillis has extensive coaching experience in soccer, and is himself a former cross country runner. He doubles as a math teacher for Rappahannock, and is a former engineer. “Teaching is a second career for me. I wish it had been the first,” said Gillis. In cross country, competitors run five kilometers (3.1 miles) over natural terrain. It’s a sport of endurance, as well as speed, and Gillis is making sure that his team is prepared for the long haul. “Just working hard is the key,” said Gillis. Gillis has tried to get the team ready for competition with a training regimen that’s actually tougher than it sounds. While the Panthers still run intervals-a method of running against one’s own fatigue- like' most cross country teams, but Gillis has added Ultimate Frisbee to their regimen. The game borrows heavily from football, and involves a great deal of sprinting. “It’s great for conditioning,’’ said Gillis. The new coach has reason to have high hopes for bis team. Last year the Panthers managed to send sophomore Alex Ramey to the state tournament, and the team placed fourth overall in the Bull Run district. Ramey came in third at this year’s Fodderstack 10K race. Gillis thinks they will be able to echo and possibly one up that achievement. “Alex Ramey will definitely go to state, but there’s a good chance he’ll have some companions.” said Gillis. I’d love to go as a team.” The Panthers will run in their next race against Broadway High School on September 7 th. Standards of Learning: An SOL success story According to unofficial tabulations of 2004-05 SOL pass rates both schools should be fully accredited for 200506. Grade 5 experienced its best pass rates ever on the following tests: English/Reading - 96%, English/Writing - 95%, and Math - 91%. Other pass rates at 90% or above were Grade 3 Math - 91%, Grade 7 Algebra I - 100%, Grade 8 Social Studies - 90%, Earth Science - 90% , World History I - 96%, World History II - 95%, US History - 91%, and Grade 11 English/Reading 93%. The school system is examining the percent of students scoring “pass advanced.” Both schools made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) under federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB). According to a preliminary report on the Virginia Department of Education’s website, the RCPS also made AYP for 2004-05. L saunam sept 3 zoos 10:00 am Ram or Slime At the home of Randolph Beach, JR.

Back to SchoolSports Cheertatorship: RCHS plans to stay on top of the pyramid By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer “Who's the best, oh yes? R.C.H.S.!” is the chant of the Panthers Cheerleaders, answering their own question as they practice their routines. Coach Bonnie Pullin is coaching the team for her fourth year in a row, and she knows that these cheerleaders are in part cheering for themselves. “I'm proud of them. They've made a name for themselves.” We’ve been to state two years in a row,” said Pullin. She should be proud, because many of the seniors on her team started under Pullin their freshman year, and have been on the team since. Before beginning at RCHS, Pullin assisted with some all star and travel cheerleader teams, and had been a cheerleader herself, although she won t admit how long ago. “It’s a whole different sport now. When I did it, if we could do a somersault we thought we were big stuff.” The definition of “big stuff” in the current cheerleading world is illustrated minutes later, as senior Jaime Jacobs is tossed by her teammates almost to the ceiling of the RCHS gym and then safely caught again. “People have a lot more respect for cheer-leading now,” said Pullin. The Panthers squad has big plans this year, with eleven seniors returning to the team. “I want to place this year at state.” said Pullin. Many of these returning seniors are also members of the Varsity football team, who have been going to two practices in the fall for four years. The close relationship between football and cheerleading is facilitated by the fact that Kemp Pullin, Bonnie's husband, is the football coach. At RCHS, the cheerleaders perform two functions. They still encourage Panther sports teams from the side Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Monty Tayloe NOT THE ELECTRIC SLIDE: Panther cheerleaders practice their routines for competition. lines in the more traditional role that Pullin remembers. But taken much more seriously by the team is the competitive aspect of their sport, wherein they travel to district meets and perform complicated routines to loud dance music for judges. The routine that RCHS is currently practicing relies heavily on “Lose Control” by Missy Elliot. “The kids have a lot of input,”said Pullin. The Panthers will compete In their first district meet at George Mason High School in Falls Church on November 9th.

IN THE BALANCE: Senior Jaimie Jacobs cheers for her team, while she stands on them. Guiding Golf By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer The RCHS Panther golf team begins the year with a new coach, a new roster, and big hopes. Coach Jason Gouchenour spends much of his time as Rappahannock's guidance counselor , but is also trying to guide the Panthers to golfing success. “The hardest part of this game is the mental part,” said Gouchenour. This is his first year coaching golf, although Gouchenour has been playing the game for the last five years. His coaching background is mostly in baseball and basket ball, before he got out of coaching to get his Master's degree. As a guidance counselor and a coach, he knows how to work with young people, and Gouchenour is enthusiastic about his new sport. Gouchenour does find that coaching golf is very different from his earlier experiences as a coach or athlete. “Coaclung this sport, you're less intense. It's definitely less intense and more laid back.” Last year the RCHS panthers finished fourth in the district with a 7-7 record. That team's best player, Senior Jacob Dodson, returns this year hoping to repeat last years MVP season, which included winning individual honors at the Bull Run District Golf Tb urn ament. If Dodson can echo that performance in his senior season, it will be his third straight year of attending regionals. Coach Gouchenour is also expecting good things of Dodson's fellow seniors Alex Sharp and Will Miller. “Alex and Will both have the potential to shoot well and score low.” said Gouchenour. However, the RCHS’ golfing Panthers have struggled so far. Their season starts early and Photo by Ann Spieker THE GREAT ESCAPE: RCHS Senior Doss Allen lofts his ball out of a sand trap at the Panther's home course, Bowling Green in Front Royal. the Panthers have already played 6 matches, going 1-4-1.

This is not as evident for the Panther's Girl's Varsity Volleyball team, “We’ve been a force in the district the last three years.” said coach Jared Nieters, who is in his fourth season coaching Panthers Volleyball. Two years in a row the Panthers have gone to and won the Bull Rim District tournament, losing at regionals both times to Buffalo Gap. They started their season off with a win on Tuesday, defeating nearby Luray in a 3 to 1 win at home. “Our serving was strong, that's always important,” said Nieters. Varsity volleyball matches are played to 25 points as five game sets, with the LOOKING UP: RCHS Varsity Girls' Volleyball get ready, trying to volley the ball over the net 10 times in a row during practice. Rappahannock News Staff Photo , Monty Tayloe team winning the most games coming out on top. The RCHS Panthers got their season off to an interesting start, losing the first game against Luray, and then having to break for a tornado warning. “After the first game, we sat in the hallway for twenty minutes.” - The Panthers used the time to get ready for the rest of the match. Girl’s volleyball graduated many of its’ members last year, and this season RCHS fields a somewhat new team. “For three girls out there it was their first ever varsity match,” explained T Nieters. Partly because the team is new, there are no standout players, according to their coach. “We don't really have any standouts because they are a good team,” said Nieters. After their tornado break in the hallway, the Panthers came out and won their next three games in a row, ending the match against Luray with a win. “We stepped out on the court like it was a new match,” said Nieters. “It's good for all those rookies to get a win under their belts.” All your grass.

Young farmers find a way at Waterpenny Farm By Ruth Purnell Special to the Rappahannock News With the help of Rappahannock farm owner Cliff Miller, Rachel Bynum and Eric Plaksin, two young farmers, have been able to make 30 acres in Sperryville a farm and home of their own. They are the proud owners of Waterpenny Farm, located on the edge of the village. In its sixth year now, Waterpenny Farm has been successful through the efforts of the young couple and the help of landowner Miller. “We were discouraged by how high the prices for good farm land were and we couldn’t get a good feel for the communities we were looking at,” said Bynum. It was not until Cliff Miller contacted the team, looking for farmers who were interested in farming his land, that they were able to find a place to farm. A history of farming Miller is the owner of 800acre Mount Vernon Farm in Sperryville, Va. The farm has been in Miller’s family since 1827 and Miller wants it to continue so. At 64 years of age, Miller wants to be sure that his land will continue to he farmed in a manner that is environmentally friendly and hopefully stay in his family for another five generations. In an effort to ensure this Miller is actively seeking young farmers who are willing to work his land over the long term.

FLEDGLINGS: Young plants sit in a protective tent waiting to be planted in the ground at Waterpenny Farm. GARDEN GOODIES: Rachel Bynum and Eric Plaksin enjoy taking their plants and produce td neighboring markets to sell as well as luring Rappahannock residents to their stands. Bynum and Plaksin are both graduates of Carleton College in North Field Minnesota. Plaksin studied Eastern Religions, while Bynum focused on Environmental studies. Plaksin’s interest in farming began when he joined an environmental student group and worked in an organic garden on campus. “We both like being outside working with our hands,” said Plaksin. Rachel enjoyed working with children and realized a unique approach to teaching about the environment was by teaching about what people eat. As she did more farming she learned she enjoyed the day-today life of working on a farm. “I wanted to practice more what I was doing with kids,” said Bynum. With a goal in mind, the couple began working at Wheatland Vegetable Farms in Purcellville, Va. “I think if we had gone to four different farms we wouldn’t have learned as much as we did by staying at the same place. Because we learned how different it was from season to season with different weather and markets, and were able to go and visit other farms, we got a lot more out of it.” After four years of studying farming techniques at Wheatland, Bynum and Plaksin decided it was time to start their own farm, and it was at this point that the connection was made with Miller.

A\MMft t?>Equal Qpportanty Lender that Cliff wanted to do a long term lease,” said Bynum. Miller had been , looking for somebody to farm and contacted the team in the Spring of 1998. An agreement was reached and Bynum and Plaksin moved to Rappahannock in the winter of 1999 and their first season of farming began in 2000. “I was so excited with what Eric and Rachel were bringing to the community,” said Miller. In their six years at Waterpenny the couple and Miller have worked out a long term agreement that has left both parties very satisfied. “Eric and Rachel agreed to farm organically. They pay rent for the land, the expenses, and they are farming in the manner I want to see the land farmed,” said Miller. Bynum and Plaksin own their house on Miller’s property, but may leave at any time, selling it to Miller. Miller owns the 30 acres that make up Waterpenny Farm (only ten of which are actually farmed), but has agreed to allow the couple to farm it long term if they desire. “We started with a gentleman's agreement and have ended with a 40-year lease, and we worked hard to meet each others needs in that final agreement,” added Miller. “Young people interested in farming aren’t aware that there is land that they can farm if they set up the right situation,” said Plaksin. “My wish is that the county could be a place for young farmers to come and farm. We need to first develop a database of people who have land. Farmers are the missing element in this county which has good farm land,” added Plaksin. Another part of the farm that makes Bynum and Plaksin enjoy it and make it profitable is growing different vegetables and being able to travel to mar kets in Charlottesville and the DC area. “Our proximity to DC and willingness to go to Farmer’s Market and present ourselves the way people want to see us is important,” said Bynum. “Part of our success is being full-time farmers,” Bynum continued. Miller is very pleased with Waterpenny Farm and he wants to see more of his land worked by creative, hard-working young farmers. “Leasing thirty acres isn't the only solution to the farm turnover challenges Rappahannock faces but it is a positive to the community,” said Miller. With another 350 acres of open land Miller said he “wants it to be farmed as a progressive grass-based farm that raises animals humanely.” Miller is hoping others, both land u\ mers and young farmers, will see the success this is for all parties and want to try it themselves.

Camp Fantastic gives cancer patients a lift By Richard Lyres Special to the Rappahannock News Since 1983, volunteers from Rappahannock County, led by the Lion’s Club with the support of many local businesses and restaurants, join together to put on a “Rappahannock Night” for about 100 children with cancer at a summer camp near Front Royal. Camp Fantastic is sponsored by Special Love, a Winchester organization devoted to making life as happy as it can be for children who are being treated for cancer. Camp Fantastic—held each year on the spectacular grounds of the 4-H Center near Front Royal high in the Blue Ridge Mountains—provides classes, recreation, theme parties, campfires and other exciting activities for 7 to 17-year-old cancer patients. A full medical staff from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) also are on site to provide medical treatment, medicine, and counseling where needed. Children attending this camp come from Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. What makes this camp unique is its effort to provide children with cancer an opportunity to step back from the seriousness of their disease and enjoy the bonds of friendship with other children who share similar experiences. What makes it fun and “fantastic” are the many activities organized to lighten the kids’ burdens and provide them a brief moment of fun, games, good food, and companionship that might in fact help them recover more quickly. It does wonderful things for the volunteers as well—ask anyone! The organizers chose a Rainforest-Jungle theme for this year’s festivities. Gift bags with toys and games were given to the children. And dancing by the children and staff counselors went on until the wee hours, thanks to the rhythm and the beat provided by the Blues Fuze band. Volunteers are always welcome and one can contact the Rappahannock Lions Club for further information. Those who would like to make donations to the sponsoring organization, Special Love, can find a link on their website, www.speciallove.org or write the organization at their headquarters at: Special Love, 117 Youth Development Court, Winchester, VA 22602 l phone 1 -888-930-2707). The good folks who have put on “Rappahannock Night” at Camp Fantastic each year for over 23 years now are legion and too many to count. Special mention, however, goes to the organizing commit tee co-chaired by Jan Besecker and Bey Atkins. Other key players included Sandra Jenkins, Ester Settle, Jan Makela, Marie Davis, and Dave Hilty from the Lions •Club. Many Rappahannock businesses also donated food, II I money and help for this special occasion, f Pictures speak louder than words. Enjoy. jSigwgBSS}, for us... >. J celebrating life is a way of life.

By June Jordan Special to the Rappahannock News Tranquility and serenity will grace the walls at Little Washington’s Packing Shed Gallery from September 8th through October 3rd when Benita Rauda Gowen, Rappahannock watercolorist, and Jane Ritchey, Shenandoah Valley painter, blend their interpretations of landscape and nature. An artists’ reception is Saturday, September 10th from 2:00 till 5:00. Benita Gowen paints mostly landscapes and flowers. “I like to do a series of paintings that let me experiment with how changes in light, color and shapes affect the mood of each painting,” remarked Gowen who was bora in Latvia and came to the USA as a child soon after World Warll. Her studies began at the University of Washington in Seattle in architecture and design, followed with interior design at Mt. Vernon College and lastly, classes with noted artists in the DC area. She has worked as a fashion designer and teacher, interior designer and space planner, designed furniture and supervised its construction for homes in the Philippines, Ethiopia and Algeria before turning to painting. She and her husband moved to Flint Hill five years ago. “I’m elated by the beauty of this area and it never fails to move me. I hope this enthusiasm shows in my work.” Jane Ritchey, a native of Pennsylvania, defines herself as someone who loves to draw and paint and as a perennial student. “The minute I become self-satisfied as a painter, I am in trouble,” she stated. Ritchey has had three years of formal training at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, now the University of the Arts, and has studied extensively with master artists and in workshops both in Virginia and Pennsylvania. Landscapes are her primary subject, seconded by her “fun” painting of cows and other critters in oil or mixed media. A lot of times the subject matter is viewed from her backyard where she can look out at a neighboring apple orchard and cow farm. The beautiful Massanutten Mountains form a backdrop to these scenes where she has made her home for the past ten years. Her work is in corporate collections in Pennsylvania and Virginia and has received numerous awards in juried shows. Packing Shed Gallery is located at the corner of Gay and Porter Streets in Washington, Virginia. Gallery Hours are Thursday through Monday, 12:30 to 6:00. For additional information, you may contact the gallery at 540-6753410 or June Jordan at 540-987-8098. “Wild Phlox by Moore's Store” Oil painting by Jane Ritchey ■“Valley Farm House” Oil painting by Jane Ritchey “Black Locust Tree”' Oil painting by Jane Ritchey ■Pmaconda; Wrapping itself around these laminar railings, urevas created this trom pine needles stuffed in bird netting. Rappahannock nature artist Jeanne Drevas to speak at library series By Betsy Hille Special to the Rappahannock News When I tracked down Rappahannock artist Jeanne Drevas to interview her about her upcoming library talk and slide presentation Friday September 9 at 8 p.m. my search led me to a rooftop in Syracuse, New York where Drevas was wrestling with a sixty foot.. .‘conda! Okay, so it wasn’t a real snake she was wrestling with, but rather, it was one of Drevas’ own creations from nature: a floppy, sixty-foot long creation of hay stuffed in bird netting called “Straweonda.” Drevas was immersed in “creating” at Stone Quarry Hill Art Park near Syracuse, NY where she is in residency to create a site specific installation out of hay. Fortunately, Drevas allowed the interruption and came down off" the roof to talk with me. Drevas explained. “This is part of my creative life that Rappahannock residents know less about than my studio work using natural materials, not to mention my pottery.” “For the past few summers I have been traveling to various art parks, colleges and even a Victorian cemetery to interact a bit of my nature with the larger nature.. I get to revel in the possibilities of a well known material such as fallen pine, needles, and renew our attention to the natural world by raising them back into the trees, or in this case back onto the roof.

Back in her Rappahannock studio, Drevas spends hours, even days exploring the possibilities of a piece of bark she collected. “My nature and the bark’s nature collaborate, the bark tells me it would like to reencircle its host tree,” explained Drevas. Drevas protects the curving form of the bark, and eventually, it becomes clear to her how best to utilize the bark. She may be inspired to create a vase form of white pine bark, or she may create a small haven to honor a special find of the forest. Having lived in Geneva, Switzerland and Bangkok Thailand, Drevas has resided in Rappahannock since 1972. Drevas lives in her hand-made house, which is also her studio. Cut locust trees support the main mem bers. “That was the cheapest foundation material I could find back then,” said Drevas. The locust trees soar up two stories to support reed ceilings. Bannisters made of honeysuckle twisted sticks or butterscotch maple, clay sinks and tiles, curving cherry tables and honeysuckle handles all attest to Drevas’ love of utilizing what is offered through nature. Drevas’ hand-made house is just one example of her deep commitment to nature. “My path now leads me even deeper into sharing my love of construction, of crafting, of honoring the original maker through various workshops. I’d like to show others how they can honor nature through the objects they have gleaned from earth’s offerings,” concluded Drevas. Please join the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC) for this special evening with Jeanne Drevas, Friday September 9 at 8 p.m. at the Rappahannock library. This is part of the Second Friday at the Library Series sponsored by The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. Admission is free.

There’s a couch that opens to a bed for sleeping on Or is it a bed that closes for sitting on? We’ve pictures for the walls, a table for the hall. And puzzles plus books, and small things for nooks. There are animals, stuffed; an angel for the tree. Cross-stitching for you, flannel sheets for me. Come pedal this exercise bike and go nowhere at all; Then run an old table saw and let the chips fall. There’s this and there’s that, and a blue yoga mat. It’s collected, in all, at the same Fire Hall Where we sell stuff each year At prices not dear. Write it down, jot and tittle, In Washington, Little. This Saturday coming, we open at eight. We’ll have coffee that’s hot, and tea that is not.

Tfwill)fits % Randy Minter THE NEW THINKING Owing to the power of demographics, Baby Boomers have virtually redefined each stage of life that they encounter. Now, as they face the final chapters in their parents’ lives, as well as their own, they are redefining the way we think about death. If the end of life remains the last taboo, Baby Boomers are breaking the taboo. They are looking for choices and opening up a dialogue about end-of-life issues. This most geographically and culturally diverse generation in our history lives in a world of interfaith marriages, and divorces are not unusual. Nor are the revised rituals and traditions that accompany them. If the past is any indication, Baby Boomer attitudes toward death are becoming commonplace for all.

Please don’t litter...it’s hard on the critters As each day and year passes, we learn more about everything. We make advances in science, engineering, space and medicine and in many other areas. The answer I want is much less complicated than all that. What I want to know, but will probably never understand, is why do some people throw their trash out their car windows. What must they be thinking? How do they justify that senseless, uncaring act? We are fortunate to live in this tiny part of the planet, that is so rich in natural beauty- tyWhy would anyone want to spoil that by littering? My sincere appreciation goes out to those who help clean up this stuff, whether it is accomplished because it is their job, or by adopting a Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com stretch of road and keeping it clean, or if it just means taking the time to keep the roadsides clean on their own property. And, come to think of it, if each of us who is blessed with ownership of a piece of property in this county kept our own roadsides clean, we might be able to shame the despoilers into quitting their thoughtless littering. It’s worth a try. My last word on motorcycles , We have all about had our say on the motorcycle problem in the county, and from what I read in the “Letters” section last week, Mr. Deakins of Rock Mills has it just about right. The problem has not been eliminated, but a yeoman’s effort is being made and we need to acknowledge that. Our thanks and appreciation go out to the efforts of the State Police and their InHouse Task Force and the continuing efforts of the county Sheriff’s Office. Keep up the good work. I know I am trying to use my cruise control more and more, and that’s a good thing. Church picnic rescheduled The Flint Hill Methodist.

Sperryville Business Alliance has new brochures The Sperryville Business Alliance announced the completion of the new brochures which list businesses in and around Sperryville. Members may pick up their brochures at the next general meeting of the SBA, slated to . take place on Tuesday, September 6th at 6:30 pm. At the meeting, there will . be discussion about the SBA’s agenda for the remainder of ' the year as well as dialogue - about opportunities for cooperative advertising. For more information about the meeting, including the location, please call Elizabeth Lee at 987-1002. Recently there have been some noteworthy visitors in Sperryville, including a widely known author and a film crew. Earl Hamner Jr., who is . probably best known as the . author and creator of the tele-> vision show, The Waltons, - unexpectedly dropped in at the . Old Sperryville Bookshop on his way to a book signing tour - that kicked off in his hometown, Schuyler, and included stops in Charlottesville, Roanoke, Williamsburg, and . Chesapeake. Hamner, who is the subject Sperryville Nancy Ostinato 987-8444 oldspeiryvillebookshop@iglide.net of a new biography entitled Earl Hamner: From Walton’s Mountain to Tomorrow, was joining his biographer, Jim Person, to promote the book. Schuyler, Virginia, the setting for Hamner’s childhood with his seven brothers and sisters later became the basis for two of his best known books, “Spencer’s Mountain” and “The Homecoming” which led to the enduring Walton’s series. While best known for the show that made “John-Boy” a household name, Hamner also wrote for other television shows including The Twilight Zone and Falcon Crest. Mr. Hamner’s play “Appalachian Autumn,” written fpr CBS Playhouse, won a Christopher Award and his script for Heidi caused a storm of protest when it aired on television, preempting the final minutes of a very close Oakland Raiders/New York Jets game. As far as his visit in Sperryville, Mr. Hamner could only stay a few moments but he did take a piece of Sperryville along with him by purchasing local author James Russell’s book, “Beyond the Rim: From Slavery to Redemption in Rappahannock County”. This past week there was a film crew shooting in Sperryville which, interestingly enough, also had a connection to resident James Russell’s book. Gail Lowe, a PhD. historian with the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Museum and Center for African American History and Culture was filming a documentary based on Mr. Russell’s work. For anyone who is not yet familiar with Russell’s book, it tells the story of his greatgrandmother, “Sis-tah Cahline” Terry, who was a slave in Rappahannock County, witnessed the Civil War, and lived to the age of 108. The crew was filming the documentary at UnCommon Sense, the Old Sperryville Bookshop, and other locations in Sperryville.

From summertime to school time Summer has started to fade but there’s a new charge in the air. A feeling of excitement has taken over as the store aisles become overcrowded and the latest fashion trends strut their stuff What’s all the excitement mom’s? It’s time to go back to school! However, with back-toschool excitement often comes anxiety, fear and worry from both students and their parents. But with a bit of planning, communication and insight, parents can help their children and themselves get off to a great start for school this year. Bus safety Safety on the bus is not a subject to take lightly. Each year, bus accidents happen from children not obeying the safety rules. It’s important for children to understand that when they’re on the bus, the importance of bus safety is for all the children who ride the school bus. Here are a few bus safety tips to discuss with your child. A trusted adult should be at your child’s bus stop every morning and every evening. Children should be cautioned about the danger of strangers. Be at least five minutes early to catch the bus. There are blind spots where the bus driver can lose sight of a child. Front Danger Zone It is never safe to walk close to the front of the bus. Children should walk five giant steps ahead of die bus before crossing in front of it. Side Danger Zone Children should always stay three giant steps away from the side of the bus. Rear Danger Zone Never walk behind the school bus. Walk, don’t run three giant steps away from the bus when exiting the bus. When the bus approaches, step back from the curb at least three giant steps. Never run to catch the bus. If you have to walk on roads where there is no sidewalk, walk against traffic and out of the road. Stay but of the road and wait for the bus to stop before you walk to it. Make sure you can see the bus driver’s eyes when boarding or crossing in front of the bus. If you must cross the street to get to the bus, always, look left, then right, then left again.

Working class hero As a child, I always thought Labor Day marked the end of summer vacation, and the beginning of school latxm Nothing I was taught in school until high school disabused me of this notion. Then, in social studies, our textbook had a blurb, a little box of text talking about the history of the holiday, with a brief mention that it was to honor labor, honor the workers of society. Tbday David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien and a host of smaller celebrities regularly get laughs by making fun of people for making their living by working at McDonalds and Wal-Mart. The idea of labor as valuable and dignified is largely lost. It's a funny flip side of the American dream. In many European countries, for instance, -A there is less social mobility than over here. People are bom into their class and are proud of there place in society. Over here, we have the dream that anyone can “make it”. We really do have more opportunity for people to change their position in life. At the same time, by the terms of the game, if you are part of the vast majority that are not Bill Gates and who work for a living, you don’t “make it” and so you've failed. Not to overstate this; despite the jibes of television comedians, most of us still believe that all honest work has dignity, just less than we used to. At one time, that elusive chimera, the American Dream, taught that entrepreneurship and hard working would lead to wealth and status. Now, winning the lottery or getting on a reality show is held up as equally worthwhile. It doesn't matter how you make it as long as you do. Success is measured more in dollars rather than either accomplishments or character. There 1 an endless stream of articles in newspapers, , magazines and spots on TV news infotainment shows about how workers need to constantly learn and train to be able to weather changes in our economy. In a small way, that’s trueespecially in the social milieu of the people who write and produce all those media pieces. But the fact is, in the end, most people don't, and never will have “tech” industry or corporate jobs and labor will continue to be a critical part of our economy. The big boy on the tech block, Microsoft has perhaps 57,000 employees. Wal-Mart is Mindful Musings ^ Bill Kossler twenty times as big, with 1.3 million. McDonalds has a little under half a million employees. Between the two of them, they outnumber the populations of many states and not a few countries. Bring in all the other similar companies and you're talking about a lot off working people- the real backbone of our society. Right now most of the good economic news is in housing. Housing starts are robust. People are using equity in their homes to build additions or renovate. Granted, there are a few architects and other white collar folks involved. But in construction, who are we talking about? Carpenters, plumbers, masons, roofers, electricians, heavy equipment operators- labor. One of the most hyped economic factor of our time is the impending retirement of the baby boom population bulge. Talking heads have said much about the impact this will have, on taxes, budgets and the economy. When we speak of a booming hfealthcare field, what does it really mean? Doctors and surgeons? Mostly it means we need huge numbers of people to roll their sleeves up and care for our aged family members. They will be nurses, aides, orderlies and the like-labor. For the first half of the last century organized labor struggled for decades to achieve minimum wages, some level of job security, retirement pensions, good health insurance plans, workplace safety rules and more for the majority of Americans who work for a living, who aren't the owners or management of the corporations that form so much of our economy. People died in that struggle Since at least the 1970s, all those gains have been slowly eroding away. Health insurance has gone through the roof. In real terms, the minimum wage has fallen. No one has much job security. Union membership has steadily declined. If you talk about unions, rather than thinking qbout living wages, dignity and decent treatment in the workplace, someone will quickly suggest organized crime controls them all. Wal-Mart, the largest private employer in the country- renowned for its low wages and relatively poor benefits has no unionized employees in the U.S. • But that's enough lament. Right now, to all the mechanics, carpenters, waiters, road crews, landscapers, nurses, retail workers, fast food workers, roofers, painters and everyone else out there who we rely upon to get things done, we salute you this weekend. Enjoy your barbecues and your day olf. As John Lennon once said in a song, a working class hero is something to be. BUILDING SUPPLIES CHERRY STREET BUILDING SUPPLY CORP.
