Gas prices all over the US are rising as a result of the damage done by Hurricane Katrina to the nation’s refineries in the Gulf Coast, and Rappahannock County drivers are starting to feel the effects in their wallets and gas tanks. Rappahannock was spared the $5.99 a gallon extremes that some D.C. area residents had to face, but prices for gas have risen roughly forty cents a gallon since Hurricane Katrina made landfall on August 29, and it’s clear that some Rappahannock County consumers are rattled by the skyrocketing costs. “Four days ago it was fifty cents cheaper!,” exclaimed a frustrated driver is Flint'Hill. Rampant rumor On the Friday before Labor Day weekend, a rumor that was spread by cellphone throughout the D.u. metro area made it all the way to Rappahannock, causing drivers from Amissville to Sperryville to believe that pumps all over Virginia would be turned off in the late afternoon. There was no truth to the rumor, but by 2:00 in the afternoon gas lines were forming at Settle’s Chevron station in Flint Hill. “I was sitting in the Griffin Tavern, and the bartender just announced that they were shutting pumps down all over the state,” said William Jones of Front Royal VA, as he sat in his Jeep, part of the line at Settle’s to buy regular gas priced $3.20 a gallon. “Everyone’s been saying they heard that there was going to be a shutdown but no one’s told us anything,” said Regina Hensley, an employee of Mayhugh’s Citgo in Amissville. The rumor created a further atmosphere.-o&c^tti^.Mapy gas stations in the county posted" that there would be a $20.00 spending limit at their pumps. “It’s to minimize how much we sell to any one person. We want everybody to get at least a little bit," said Esther Settle, owner of Settle’s Chevr6» station in Flint Hill. At the time Settle instituted the limit, $20.00 bought just under 6 gallons of gas at her station, and the line at the pump was so long that Settle was filling customers’ tanks herself, to speed up the process and enforce the limit. ‘ Not all Presidents of Rappahannock spent Lehor Day weekend worrying about jgfts prices. Luckily for them, Sean and Debbie Knick of Little Washington got to the Quicke Mart Shell station before similar limits were instituted. The Knicks were on their way to Lexington to spend Labor Day weekend, and they were fueling up their 30 foot plus Georgetown XL Motor home for the trip. “It’s a 56 gallon tank, and it cost $190.00 to fQl it up,” said Knick. Filling fuel tanks. Adding fuel to rumors are the more substantive concerns of many Rappahannockges stations about their ability to continue being restocked. -m iii »i i - “Gas companies are only sending out a certain amount of gas,” said Lisa Dollins, manager of Mayhugh’s. “It’s being rationed out from higher up” Curie Baldwin, who with her husband owns both Baldwin’s Chevron in Little Washington and the Quicke Mart already ran out of gas at one of her stations over the weekend, and fears that it may happen again. “We’re just still in a scare. We got some gas, but we need another delivery scon,” said Baldwin. While fuel distributors are still getting gas out to stations, they aren’t able to ship as much to each station as they could before Hurricane Katrina damaged US refineries in the Gulf Coast area. For example, the Amissville Mayhugh’s shares its gas deliveries with the other Mayhugh’s in the area, and now all the stations are receiving less gas. “The loads are a lot smaller than they were before,” said Dollins. Feeling the pinch The rising prices are expected to cause some budget crunches for area schools. “We did put some additional funds in the budget for fuel costs, but it’s already higher than we anticipated,” said Superintendent of schools Dr. Bob Chappell., “Instead of using three buses for field trips, we’re going to use two,” said Roger Mello, principal of Rappahannock County High School, giving an example of how the school system could offset the rising prices. The price of oil is also going to affect the school system’s heating oil purchases, but Rappahannock has already managed to avoid part of the crunch. “We had already filled up the heating tanks, it should take us halfway through the season” noted Chappell. “There’s absolutely no question that it’s a concern.” Esther Settle was operating her gas station during the energy crisis of the 1970’s, and she seemed unfazed by the current situation. “We survived that, we’ll survive this,” she said.

Virginia 22747 By Jan Clatterbuck Have you ever driven along the road and wondered: Where is the nearest roadside stand to buy produce ? Look no more! Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains just below the panoramic entrance to Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park is a little comer of the world which is friendly, and so charming. For Sperryville is the gateway to many attractions, but one of the sources of country atmosphere that make Sperryville famous is the roadside stands stuffed with fresh produce to liven up your meal. Driving towards Sperryville on U.S. 211, one cannot help but notice the roadside stands. As you travel on U.S. 211 near Sperryville, you will see a sign that reads “Roy's Orchard and Fruit Market”. Be sure to make the turn onto Route 612 and visit with him and his wife Janet. Nothing beats the taste of farm fresh locally grown juicy tomatoes, green peppers, and those yellow squash and fresh beans and not to forget those delicious peaches. What more can you ask for than that? Roy is following in his father’s and grandfathers’ footsteps. They both worked for many years in Ned Johnson’s orchards, taking care of all the many things required to keep an orchard working. Roy is the third generation of the Alther family providing us with delicious fruits and vegetables. Up along the Sperryville Pike, you will find that each stand offers a unique variety plus the chance to socialize with the people who grow and supply the produce. Next; Comer Fruits and Crafts. This stand has been in the family for three generation- about 70 years. It’s a fine place to to stop in and browse, visit with Eddie and Barbara Gore, and enjoy their southern charm. With apples, squash, tomatoes, jams or jellies and cider, you can find a variety of gift ideas and souvenirs - you name it, they have it. After you shop, sit in a rocking chair on the porch and watch passersby on their way to Skyline Drive. Just down the road, the Swindler family runs Beech Spring Farm. Four generations, James Swindler along with his wife Phyllis took over the fruit stand from uncle “Bug” and aunt Amabelle Swindler in 1973 The first generation of Swindlers “grew up on the road’. In the ‘30s Ids grandmother Mrs. O. B. Swindler, in addition to a fruit stand, had ESSO gas, a lunchroom and a mini-campground, or trailer park. All the food they served came from Mrs. Swindler’s farm. Chicken and Ham dinners were 50 cents. Try and get THE MALL: Could be the next best thing to a mall. At Swindler’s market, you name it, they’ve got it. FATHER’S FOOTSTEPS: Barbara Gore is following in her father’s footsteps at this fresh fruit stand. a dinner for that price now!

Seventy per-' cent of their business is repeat business. There has been a dramatic change in how people buy fruit. Back in the ‘70s they sold mostly bushels of peaches and apple. This day and time people buy quarts and gallons. Their daughter, Bobette Swindler-Butler of Woodville has added souvenirs and gift items to the fruit stand, which are very popular. The mountain trolls are one of their most popular gift items. Their beauty will thrill you! Butler, mom and dad have semi-retired from the family business. Butler said she “looks forward to being the next generation to take the business over”. Swindler’s granddaughter, Emma Hathaway, will be the fifth generation. She helps out in the summer Hathaway said, “it’s great to work close to home and have money to shop for school clothes.” So when you are in need of fruit for jams or jellies, or have company that is coming and you want to make a good pie or dessert, remember to stop and support our local road side stands. They are an important part of the heritage of Rappahannock County.

SWATH OF DESTRUCTION: Tornado crushed a wide path of trees through the forest. The swath of destruction extends about twice as far as pictured, nearly creating a new road. Tornado strikes Amissville According to Carl Lovem of the Amissville Fire and Rescue squad, three tornadoes were spotted around Amissville Tuesday evening shortly after 7:30 in the evening the night of Tuesday, August 30. Fortunately no one was hurt and no houses damaged. Trees and outbuildings took some abuse on however. One big one touched down less than two hundred yards from the home of Chuck and Carolyn Lauer, of Battle Mountain Road. Carolyn Lauer was home alone at the time. Around 7 pm, Lauer says, there was pouring rain and the power went out. Then “around 7:25 a friend called to see if I was alright, because she had heard there was a tornado warning”, and a little after 7:30, the tornado struck. “It got really really loud” said Lauer, and seeming to gently poke fun at herself, joked “of course I was on the phone when it happened. I OBLITERATED: A scrap of twisted roof, hundreds of yards away is all that is left of an old shed blown to smithereens by the tornado. heard a lot of wind. I was upstairs on the land line. So then I just heard a noise... My power was already off... When I looked out, I saw the funnel and it was brown, and behind it the sky was black... what I heard was probably the shed” being blown apart. Lauer suspects the brown color of of the twister as it rolled along the ground, was probably from all the dust and dirt in and around the demolished shed. “I hung up the phone, saying I had to get to the basement.... After a little bit it got quiet, and I looked out again and saw trees broken up, it looked like (the child’s game) pick up sticks” Lauer recounted. Although the twister wandered a winding path across their yard, obliterating a shed and ripping apart many dozens of trees only a very short distance away, the house and vehicles were narrowly spared. There is just a lot of firewood to be cut up and nail filled boards from the demolished shed strewn all about. Neighboring Fauquier County experienced high wind activity that same evening damaging several homes in the Marshall area. Chappell’s Corner start ot the school year is welcome but no smoothie School administrators universally use the word “smooth” to describe the opening of school. “Smooth” doesn’t accurately describe our first day. Opening day was delayed from Aug. 29 to Sept. 6 because construction did not go smoothly during the summer. Despite that, our instructional and support staff did an efficient, professional job of getting the 2005-2006 school year underway. We had a total of 968 students in attendance on the first day this year compared to 999 last August. Most students seemed eager and excited to be back in school. After the usual orientation sessions, the real work - teaching and learning - began. Kitchen not ready Although the RCES r Ask the Arborist By Jamie Wood I.S.A.

Greg Hamm of Reston Group, the advisor to the owners of Longlea and Boston Water and Sewer Company, recently submitted the withdrawal. Hamm said the withdrawal is to allow him to continue refining a plan for the property that fits within the existing zoning, but ensures that Longlea is developed only in a way that suits the needs of the community and responds to concerns about growth. “The owners of this land have been and remain contributing members of the community,” Hamm said. “We intend to do this in the right way, and that means working with the neighbors and Culpeper leadership to ensure an outcome the community can be proud of.” Longlea was zoned for development 11 years ago in 1994. Hamm said that Wyoming House is sensitive to the careful approach the county is taking toward growth and as a member of the Culpeper community it intends to be a good steward of the land. “We will exercise our rights under the existing zoning,” Hamm said, “but we will do so only with the care that this land deserves. The leadership „ of Culpeper County is wise to manage its growth with care, and we will cooperate with them in that mission.” The existing zoning for Longlea permits 1000 residential units, a golf course and the utilities necessary to serve such a development. Hamm said that Wyoming House is considering how to develop the land in a way which falls within that zoning but still takes into account the county’s present growth-management goals, as well as the unique beauty of the site itself. “I believe that there is a solution r that will serve all concerned parties very well,” he said. “And we intend to work with the leadership and the surrounding neighbors of Longlea to make it happen.” Volunteers called to join Hospice of the Rapidan Team Hospice volunteering can be rewarding, satisfying and educational.

It is a time for us to painftdly remember our vulnerability and mourn the loss of those who perished during that terrorist attack. It is also a time when we remember those valiant souls w ho stepped forward, many of those also losing their lives, to help fellow Americans in deparate need. . It was another tragedy that was vividly televised for the whole world to witness as a sign of the worst and best in humanity. Waves of patriotism flooded this country after 9/11 with the red, white and blue proudly displayed on car bumpers, windows, house porches, office buildings and lining the streets of communities across this country. We looked to our leaders for strength and guidance and some kind of understanding as to what had happened and how could it have happened and would it happen again. The shield of seeming invincibility had been shattered. The United States had been penetrated and slapped about in a way never thought possible or allowable. We were now in the limelight of a thundering violence that was only supposed to rock other countries in other places with unpronounceable names and cultures too foreign to understand or care about. Now it was our turn and it hurt and continues to hurt. Like the fall of Achilles, a weak spot had been found and we stumbled beneath its piercing effectiveness. This attack was not the behavior of civilized peoples and their drive to do us in carries a momentum of rueful purpose and ferocity that few Americans understood or understand today or really know hoW" to deal with at all. Watching movies made in New York before 2001, whether they be mysteries, comedies or love stories is always a jolt of perspective now. You can clearly see those majestic Twin Towers in the backgrounds of many scenes. But they are no more. And part of us is no more as well as we remember that fateful day in another September. Shattered Such a lovely name - Katrina. But there have been other lovely named hurricanes in the past but none of late that has lashed out so horrendously and thrust not only the Gulf Coast but this whole nation into a seasick state of mind. Bodies washed in front of us, children wailing for help on rooftops, emergency vehicles swirling in churning waters, flattened buildings and thousands and thousands of ruined lives. And within days, looters running rampant, chaos the norm, helicopters being fired on, toilets overflowing, no food, no water, and still images of children wailing on rooftops. The tsunami in Thailand is now a tsunami in our own backyard and helping refugees - something normally under the category of foreign aid - is help now going to Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. President Bush is taking a battering these days. There is no end of Bush bashing going on. Perhaps history will prove it to be justified but aside from all the polemics and endless diarrhea of the mouth that is proliferating about who should have done what and when, let’s not overlook the obvious - people are suffering and need _ to be helped. What were realizing as a nation is that most of us are literally helpless to help. We want to reach out to that child on the rooftop but our arms won’t cross the miles to do so. That is the frustration, that is the challenge, that is the shattering truth. There is gathering momentum in local communities across this state and across the country as people begin rallying and rise to the occasion with help in the form of money, help in the form of supplies, help in the form of volunteers and help for ourselves in the process. Doing something, even belatedly, makes us feel better. Perhaps a few tears will be dried soon for those directly affected. And for the vast majority of us - we’ll see. We suffered Hurricane Katrina perhaps in an emotionally worse way - as dry and secure observers. pv W^Nf Of... ^ oin My fop'-* UtM! Letters Let’s help the victims of Hurricane Katrina For the past week, we have sat in the comfort of our home, here in one of the most beautiful, safe and scenic areas of America, watching on TV with utter disbelief, horror and shame at the unfolding tragedy wrought by nature and man in New Orleans and across vast stretches of the Gulf Coast. It is a shock to see scenes of misery, suffering and death that we associate with the Third World occurring here in our own rich, powerful country. It is unacceptable to simply watch and do nothing but complain about the inadequacies of the relief efforts. Here in a land blessed by God and so far unspoiled by man, we think we have a special duty to offer whatever help we can to our fellow citizens who have been dealt this devastating hand. What can Rappahannock County citizens do to help? That is the question that has been on our minds all week. We are convinced that there are many people of good will here who would extend a helping hand to our distressed Southern neighbors if given the opportunity. Many of our citizens are fortunate enough to have the resources, the time and the compassion to do more than simply write a check to one of the many relief agencies collecting funds for the disaster victims—though we certainly hope all will do that who can. But can’t we do more, and do it directly? Thousands of people are packed in makeshift shelters, with no jobs, no homes, no income, no worldly goods—waiting for a safe place to land. Some of us here may have vacant guest houses, spare rooms, or available rental quarters that might be offered as temporary housing to homeless hurri cane victims. Some could offer temporary work, or full-time jobs, or spare vehicles to allow these people a chance to rebuild their lives. For our part, we can offer a displaced couple or small family a temporary home in space we have available now. We began wondering if any Rappahannock County relief effort was being organized. Knowing of none, we started sending e-mails and making phone calls to try to stir up interest in such an effort. This is still an evolving situation, with no formal organization, but we want to make this appeal to all Rappahannock County citizens to lend a hand and get involved, if they can. We know some of our churches are trying to do something. Can our churches come together in a united effort? Will our civic and fraternal groups get involved and help? Will our political leaders and officials get on board? Nobody appointed us leaders of this effort, and we have no special status. But we have a voice, and a hope, and faith in the goodness of our neighbors. People, we must be more than idle spectators here! Open your arms, your hearts, your wallets—and yes, even your homes—to these our fellow Americans in distress. We are blessed, and we are called to help. Those who are interested in responding to this need are invited to a public meeting to be sponsored by several local churches on Friday, September 16, at 7:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Library. Or you may respond directly to us by calling 9879536 or by sending e-mail to gannonj@earthlink.net Jim and Joan Gannon Castleton Sperryville Business Alliance has new brochure Have you gotten a look at the new Sperryville Brochure? Its many pages with stories, easy to find catagories, and colorful ads was the brain child of Kim Bealle of www.dkdesign.com. Although we had hoped that this year we could (last year we couldn’t) give her some remuneration for her consid erable time, those of us trying to sell ads couldn’t come up with enough funding for a big printing and pay her as well. Without asking the council Kim decided to forego any remuneration and spent the entire amount collected for a larger printing. Thank you, Kim for sharing with our community your talents, hard work, and gentle spirit. You can find brochures at your local stores. We are asking for $1 each from non-members to defray the expense of advertising in the Park. Local business members will have several copies to give to whom ever they please. We are already planning next year’s brochure so contact us through www.sperryville.net or telephone me at 987-1002 to be sure to get your listing for 2006. And watch for membership meetings that will be published in the Rappahannock News and on Sperryville.net. Elizabeth Lee The Bioholistic Store Sperryville Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO September 9,1965 Young thugs and teenage criminals may be pressing their luck by increasing their violent escapades while blaming society for their faults. It appears that the public is beginning to gag on the steady sociological diet of excusing the conduct of teenage hoodlum^ because “society has failed them.” Resort communities racked by senseless riots and citizens who cannot venture from their homes without being assaulted and beaten are getting fed up with the the pampered and insolent youth gangs. Some courts in the troubled areas are taking a more realistic approach in handling those involved in these outbreaks. New laws providing stiffer penalties are being enacted in a few places. We can only hope that authorities everywhere will follow this trend. Certainly, the mere desire of young miscreants to have a “blast” or to “let off steam” is no excuse to ravage a community and to maim and terrorize its residents. That holiday riots and similar antics by carousing youths have evoked widespread concern is not surprising. It is surprising, however that strong public reaction did not come sooner. For several years, the increasing volume of criminal acts by young people — spurred on by the lenient treatment received—has presented a clear barometric reading of what we are now witnessing... Meanwhile, the question puzzling most people is what cause the principles and morals of some of our youth to degenerate to near animal level... However, of all the factors involved, I am convinced one of the most damaging is the false teaching which tends to blame society for all the frustrations, woes and inconveniences, real or imaginary, visited upon our young people. Teenagers and their parents have'been subjected to a foolhardy theory which condones rebellious conduct against authority, law and order, or any regulatory measures which restrict their whims, wishes, desires and activities. This astonishing belief has spread into the schoolroom, the living room and the courtroom, and now into the streets of our Nation in the form of wild drunken brawls... (T)he dereliction has been in the failure to teach them the meaning of discipline, restraint, self respect and respect for law and order and the rights of others... John Edgar Hoover, Director 25 YEARS AGO August 28, 1980 A larcenous bear ambled over the mountain in the F. T. Valley last week but instead of admiring the view, he developed a socially unacceptable taste for fresh pork swiped from Robert’Jenkins’ pig pen. On Thursday, Mr. Bear found dessert— and his just desserts. When he grabbed the Hudson ham left 1 as bait in a culvert trap set by Rappahannock game warden Jim Bankston, the door to the cage clanged shut, nabbing the marauder for transport to George Washington National Forest. According to Bankston, the old bear had been wreaking havoc in the Jenkins Hollow area for three weeks, “he killed six little pigs that belonged to Robert Jenkins. He also went on Mrs. Eleanor Cordle’s back porch, at a bushel of peaches and tore down her screen door,” the game warden said... 10 YEARS AGO August 30, 1995 Member of the Men’s Brotherhood of the Washington Baptist Church in cooperation with the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board build an outhouse for Mr. and Mrs Henry Jenkins near Flint Hill. Mr. Jenkins is 89 years old, and he and his family were walking out into the orchard to go the the bathroom. His old outhouse had filled up and the lumber rotted, so he tore it down. He said the old outhouse lasted him and his family 25 years.... Jeanie McNear, volunteer coordinator with the Community Services Board, reported that $lo,000 worth of funds from the state housing authority were available to install a modern bathroom, but the owner of the house the Jenkinses rent did not want the bathroom installed...

Volunteers learn to monitor stream quality By Kit Johnston and Beverijy Hunter Special to the Rappahannock News Composed of 20 eager learners from the Rappahannock County area, along with several trainers, principally from the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District (CSWCD), the Izaak Walton League’s Save Our Streams gathered recently at Cliff Miller’s Mount Vernon Farm in Sperryville for a handson workshop on how to monitor stream quality. Leading the workshop was Greg Wichelns, manager for the CSWCD, and Jay Gilliam, who long ago started the League’s SOS for western Virginia, in cooperation with scientists from Virginia Tech. Wichelns provided handouts of the Rappahannock River basin and tributary monitoring stations where volunteers who have already received SOS training and certification are performing biological and chemical monitoring. He invited those who received training today to continue until they received their certification so they could help add to the number of stations being monitored. A number of stations in Rappahannock, Madison, and Culpeper are still in need of monitors. Looking for tiny critters The focus of the workshop was on how to sample for and identify macroinvertebrates— aquatic creatures observable to the naked eye and that have no backbone, which provide one measure of stream health under a scoring system developed by Dr. J. Reese Voshell, Jr., and colleagues at Virginia Tech. Wichelns demonstrated how to use screens to capture a variety of aquatic life, ranging from worms to leeches to crayfish to snails, clams, and beetles, including “water pennies” and clams and the larvae forms of stoneflies, mayflies, dragonflies, black flies, and so on. Some of these are commonly found in many fresh streams of western Virginia; some are most commonly found only when a stream is clean in terms of chemistry, nutrients, and sediment. Teams waded into the Thornton River next to Miller’s largest bam looking for target “riffles” with underlying cobble stones of a variety of sizes. The objective was to ruffle an area the size of a basketball on the upstream side of the screen for 20 seconds to encourage aquatic life living in and around the cobbles to flow into the screen. Identifying the capture was a challenge for some first-comers, but they had ID cards and magnifying glasses to help. One team, composed of a teacher from the Culpeper Christian School, who plans to teach her students to monitor stream quality, Margaret Strawser, a retired CPA from Rappahannock, Beverly Hunter, RappFLOW coordinator, Kit Johnston, a writer from Madison County, and Jay Gilliam captured and identified 65 macroinvertebrates in their first sample. Gilliam said that although the objective is to get 200 over a total of four samples, the team had done well and that the river at this point was going to get a high score for biological health. Another team managed to capture and identify 255 macro invertebrates, and their sample was used to obtain a score for the river at that point on the Thornton River. The emphasis throughout was on safety for the monitors— including cleansing their hands as soon as possible with, for example, rubbing alcohol—and preserving the health of the captured critters. Teams were advised to count and release larger and more active animals, such as crawfish, very quickly. Any captured minnows and salamanders were to be released immediately, as they are vertebrates’. Ice cube trays and spray bottles filled with stream water made it easy to keep relevant animals wetted down and in relative comfort throughout the identification procedure. Once counted, they were released back into the river. Counting the critters - a good score While scoring the largest sample obtained that day (255) under Dr. Voshell’s system, the number of mayflies, stone flies, and most caddisflies were counted first, then divided by the total sample number, then multiplied by 100. The large sample showed a very healthy percentage of these flies—a very good sign. The percentage in the sample of common net spinners Briefs From Page A3 crisp apple and citrus flavors with just a whisper of oak.

After a few more straightfor ward calculations, it was determined that out of a possible top score of 12 for acceptable ecological conditions, the Thornton River at this point on this day rated the top score. The group was reminded that the score does not reflect the presence or absence of bacteria, such as ecoli. Wichelns promised to stay in touch with all the participants on future workshop and certification opportunities.

Wakefield Country Day School enters 34th year Faculty and staff at Wakefield Country Day School opened their doors on August 31st and welcomed students to the first full day of the 20052006 academic season. As in years past, Wakefield will continue to offer the academically challenging curriculum for which it has become well known, providing a nurturing environment that encourages personal excellence, scholarship, diligence, self-discipline and respect for others. Some interesting innovations have been added this year. Students in the prep school, in addition to studying grammar, vocabulary, literature and composition two periods a day, Latin, a foreign language, math, history, science and numerous Advanced Placement (AP) courses, have some new choices in electives. Thanks to a generous donation from an anonymous donor, WCDS now has not only a Mac Lab for its publications but also a brand new, state-of-the-art, fifteen station PC Lab, complete with a laser printer and projector. In addition to more opportunities for technology study and use, students may also take public speaking, offered by Sperryville’s own Reverend Jon Heddleston, well-known for his rhetorical skills. Beginning in preschool, chil dren will begin the study of Spanish s with Silvana Ruckman, a graduate of Louisiana Tech who will teach this romance language to lower school students through grade seven. Fully bilingual, Mrs. Ruckman has already incorporated songs, games, and technology into her lesson plans. She is pursuing her Master’s in Education through Old Dominion University. Also working with the lower school will be Lisa Cieplak, who will serve as a classroom assistant in kindergarten and grade one and work in after-school care. Mrs. Cieplak has previous expertise not only as a preschool teacher but also as a Senate staffer — quite a combination! Paul Gresser is Wakefield’s new addition in the prep school. He will teach Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus, and act as sponsor of the school newspaper (The Hoot). Mr. Gressler is finishing up his doctoral program in physics and mathematics at the University of Maryland. As a tutor and lab instructor, Mr. Gresser has presented at national conferences on lesson design and classroom dynamics. He will collaborate with Mrs. Nabers Johnson, who is the designated teacher for PreAlgebra, Biology, and Advanced FREE INSPECTION Protect your home. Permanently.

Gressler’s other co-workers are Mrs. Emma Sue Amos, who will teach eighth grade Algebra; and Mrs. Tisha Weaver, who will teach Physics, Chemistry, Science 8 and 9, and a new class in Advanced Placement Environmental Science. Amanda Hoffman will teach grade three this year. With a Master’s of Arts in Teaching degree from Mary Baldwin College and experience as a classroom teacher in the primary grades within the Shenandoah County public school system, she brings high energy and enthusiasm to her new assignment, as well as a degree in nursing. WCDS faculty will start the new year both energized and well prepared, with five teachers having recently completed courses at Advanced Placement Institutes. One teacher observed, “At the end of the first day [of a five day institute], I had learned so much I felt that day alone made the experience worthwhile!” New textbooks have been purchased in the foreign languages (upper school French and Spanish, lower school Spanish) and in ancient civilizations, and the science lab also contains new materials and equipment. The school building has undergone changes as well, and now boasts a non-leaking roof; a playground with new mulch, pergola, and sandbox; and air conditioning in the Leonard M. Cowherd Auditorium. Enrollment continues to rise, and with the creation of a second kindergarten class to accommodate the additional new students, WCDS head of school Kathleen Grove has great expectations for the coming academic year.

We have prepared our school to welcome new and returning students and to provide them with many things to learn and love. In addition to the new offerings in Advanced Placement Environmental Science, Public Speaking, and Computer Technology, we have expanded our extracurricular activities. We look forward to providing our prep school students with instruction in swing, Latin, and ballroom dancing and to instituting “town meetings” run by student government and governed by Roberts’ Rules of Order. Each advisory group (6 to 7 upper school students assigned to an advisor) will identify a community service project to pursue during the school year. And, we will continue our longestablished traditions of Homecoming, International Day, Advent and Christmas Revels, the Medieval Banquet, May Day, and Field Day, when the Athenians and the Spartans (students in grades 1-12) compete for the laurel crown. With our Delaney Athletic Conference “Coach of the Year” Gali Sanchez, we expect another winning year in soccer, and success in our other sports. After a wonderful first year at Wakefield Country Day School, I know that our school community will continue to thrive as we fulfill our mission of providing a classical education for the twenty-first century. I so appreciate the combination of high expectations and a nurturing, family environment that the faculty and families have established here at WCDS.

Getting the wheels turning: Biking for charity By Deborah Shepherd Rappahannock News Staff Writer If Teddy sevelt was still around, he’d probably tackle the 57.9-mile long course of the upcoming Rappahannock RoughRide. And lots of people would say “Bully for him,” because entry fees go toward a great cause. Rob Marino is the director of the Fauquier and Rappahannock Free Clinic, which is where RoughRide proceeds inject badly needed funds, to help provide medical and dental care to low-income patients (see box). “I love this event because it is always a blast and Rappahannock County is beautiful in September,” Marino said. This one-day bike tour starts from Washington, Va. Bikers have three courses from which to choose. The Infamous RoughRide, with 20- and 30-mile options on and off road, is “for the rough and rugged.” The Rappahannock Road Tour course goes between 35 and 50-plus miles, “a paved course for the true road warrior.” And “easy riders” can take the Participant’s Route, a 12mile paved course. Chris Hayes of Warrenton, 39, did the shortest route last year, towing his two eldest daughters Madeleine and Ava. His wife towed the youngest in her trailer. As a competitive biker for the last 30 years, what Hayes enjoyed about the RoughRide was “the scenic countryside of Rappahannock and the relaxed, friendly organization of the ride,” he said. “The RoughRide isn’t a race or a competitive event,” Hayes went on. “It’s a fun, family- and friend-oriented event. There are certainly a few folks who go out and ride fast on the RoughRide, but what’s great about the ride is that it’s really geared for all ages and abilities.” In previous RoughRides, Hayes has ridden the 60-mile loop. “It’s pretty challenging — especially the big hill near the end,” he said. So, what can a beginner biker expect from the RoughRide? According to Hayes, “There are plenty of route options to choose from, other people to ride with, but there are at least a. couple substantial hills on each of the loops, even the shortest.” The Rappahannock RoughRide Three courses are open to bikers. Source: Fauquier Free Clinic Rappahannock News Graphic/Damie Malone Since he routinely spends time on his bike, Hayes doesn’t do any special prep for the RoughRide, but he suggests that beginners do at least a few rides of comparable distance before Sept. 17. But never fear — a “sag wagon” will be cruising the routes to lend a helping hand and, if needed, a ride back. Who it helps The RoughRide is in its ninth year, and Marino estimated that it has raised more than $150,000 in that time. “Most of the money raised by the Free Clinic goes directly to purchase medications for our patients,” Marino explained. “Patient services are provided by volunteer doctors, nurses, dentists, and administrators, and we have very little overhead since we pay no rent, utilities, and so forth. “We use the money we raise at the Rough Ride to cover ongoing expenses, like supplies for our diabetic patients, medications, basic medical supplies like syringes, stethoscopes, and the like.” Last year, the ride brought Another chance to help * • What: Dean Honeycutt, a Jaycee, , will try to bike over the 105 miles of Skyline Drive to raise money for the Jaycees’ Operation Christmas. • How to help: Pledge money per mile or make a one-time donation. • Contact: warrenton f auquierjaycees @ emai I. com; write PO Box 508, Warrenton VA, 20188 in $22,000, despite the fact that it was held the day after Hurricane Isabel came through.

In fact, we had to close one of the off-road courses last year because part of the trail was flooded. “We want lots of people to Corner From Page A3 week. We will announce any menu changes later in the week. The only distractions from construction at RCES came from contractors working to trowel EFIS, a stucco-like material, onto the facia in the courtyard. There was no hammering, but the mere presence of the workers was a distraction. We’ve asked the contractor to adjust the hours of the EFIS workers, but it is not feasible for them to do this stucco-like work after dark using artificial fighting. RCES will be under construction for months to come. We will continue to monitor safety and work to minimize distractions.

Rappahannock sports in brief By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer Football The RCHS panthers were defeated in football to Luray H.S. 34-14. Coach Kemp Pullin blames the loss on the team’s inexperience. “They’re playing catch up. Our guys are still amazed with the game itself. They just don’t have the instincts yet to play the game,” said Pullin. Some bright spots in the Panthers play were Senior Anthony Clinedinst, who had 8 tackles and an assist, and junior Bobby Czekaj, who ran for 90 yards and scored two touchdowns. “All we can do is keep coaching,” said Pullin. The Panthers face Page Photo courtesy of Ann Spieker HIGH NINE: Samantha Brown goes up against Warren County. County on Saturday.

Wakefield sports By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer Fall sports at Wakefield Country Day School have begun and students are ready to participate. Although the school’s small size means that participation is sometimes a problem, WCDS will be fielding teams this year in Girl’s Volleyball,Boy’s Soccer, and Cross Country. The school is starting their first year in the Delaney Athletic Conference, playing against local private schools like Highland School in Warrenton and Randolph-Macon Military Academy in Front Royal. Many of the schools in the Delaney Athletic Conference are far larger than Wakefield County Day, so it should prove to be a challenging year for the Owls. Finding net The biggest team at Wakefield this fall, and the biggest turnout for a sport ever at WCDS, is the varsity boys soccer team. Led by head coach Gali Sanchez, the Owls have already been practicing for two weeks. Sanchez won coach of the year last spring for his work with the WCDS Girl’s soccer team, and is trying to generate the same enthusiasm on the men’s side of things. The team has 28 players this season, just three of which are seniors, meaning that this is a good year for WCDS to gain valuable experience as a team and carry it through to next year, when they’ll have a large returning class of players. “Our goal is to come together as a team and put in place everything we’ll need for next year,” said Sanchez. The team is experimenting with an interesting practice regimen this year, including a soccer-based multi-station obstacle course that included kicking soccer balls into a folding chair, passing the ball through a blue vinyl tube, and bouncing balls off the side of the WCDS gym. The Middle School team is coached by Dick Hudgens, who is beginning his first year at WCDS. “Pretty good practice for their first day out,” said _ Hudgens of his MS team. The varsity soccer team will play their first game away; against Emmanuel Christian Academy on September 13. Serve it up The WCDS girl’s volleyball team is headed by Susan Zylonis who also coached at Rappahannock Country High School. She is assisted by; Jessica Patten, who is new to - WCDS and will coach the JV girl’s volleyball squad. Patten is a recent high school graduate and is attending Lord Fairfax when she isn’t teaching Owls how to serve. “I enjoy it a lot,” she said of her first coaching experiences at WCDS. The volleyball team practices in the WCDS gym, and when they aren’t knocking balls at one another they are taking turns as human wheelbarrows, one girl walking on her hands while another holds her ankles in the air. Pace yourself The cross county team is coached by Mike Kenney, who doubles as WCDS’ athleticdirector. Coach Kenney manages to do both these jobs while still running his own business, the Kenney Sport shop, in Front Royal. “I’m still learning a lot about Cross country,” admitted Kenney, who despite his inexperience in that sport, is coaching a passionate team this year. This passion for cross country is epitomized in Kevin Reidel, who is a junior this year. During the off-season, Reidel took it upon himself to create trails for his team, scattering and spreading wood-, chips through the woods to kill; the underbrush and make arunning path. “He is just a great young man. He’s done a lot for this school, said Kenney.

Whiteface: Common creatures of the night It’s true we haven’t had a column on mammals yet. Part of the problem was picking one to write about. Which would you pick? After much thought and coin-flipping, we decided the first one should be on opossums since they are among the most familiar and peculiar of our native mammals The Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) is found throughout most of eastern North America and on the West Coast. The name comes to us from Captain (and part-time Virginian) John Smith, who modified an Algonquin name that means “white face.” The body color varied considerably but most opossums do indeed have a whitish face, hairless black ears and a pointy pick nose. They also have opposable grasping thumbs on the bade feet and a scaly prehensile tail. Opossums are most active at night. Their diet includes insects, worms, snails, frogs, mice, eggs, fruits, nuts, seeds, carrion, even rattlesnakes (they are immune to pit viper venom!)v They can be seen at compost piles, garbage cans and bird feeders, espedally in the winter, but are not as big a problem around dwellings as other “urban” mammals. They also present fewer health risks since they have an amazing resistance to most diseases, including rabies. Opossums are shy, solitary animals that appear to wander aimlessly around in search of food. Their predators are numerous and the average lifespan of adults is probably not RappNature Sara and Jim Lawray much more than two years. If threatened they look ferocious, baring their 50 tiny teeth and hissing furiously. But they are not very good at defending themselves. As a last resort they are known to “play possum” and flop into a coma-like state that convinces some predators that they are dead. But this doesn’t work with cars, which kill millions of opossums every year. As marsupials, female opossums have an abdominal pouch where embryos are sheltered during a lengthy period of nursing. Opossums breed from December through mid-summer. Females produce babies during their first year and can have more than one litter a year. They give birth only 13 days after mating! The tiny babies (actually barely-formed embryos about the size of navy beans) crawl out of the birth canal to the mother’s pouch, where each attaches to a teat. If there are more embryos than teats (13 or less usually), the extra embryos starve. After about 70-80 days, babies (usually about 6 or 7) crawl out of the pouch and ding Photo courtesy of Jim Lawrey Pretty opossum to the mother as she waddles around in search of food. At four months of age, they’re on their own. Worldwide, there are around 250 species of marsupials assigned to a number of families, the largest and oldest of which (the Didelphidae) is the one to which opossums are assigned taxonomically. Living fossils Virginia opossums are the only present-day North Ameri Photo courtesy of Brandy Wine Zoo Opossum mama and her babies can marsupials, but this wasn’t always the case. During the late Mesozoic (80 million years ago) when marsupials first appeared on the scene, they were all North American. The oldest fossil forms are actually quite opossum-like in appearance, one of the reasons opossums are sometimes referred to as “living fossils.” From North America, marsupials migrated to South America, Europe and Asia. Those in North America, Europe and Asia eventually became extinct, but South American marsupials remained diverse. During the Cretaceous many moved through Antarctica to Australia, a route not taken by many placental groups. As Ike largest CFA skew oi the East Coast!

Latin roots South America was also the source of our beloved Virginia opossum, whose ancestors returned to North America only recently (about 3 million years ago in the Pliocene) when the Isthmus of Panama formed a land bridge between North and South America. This land bridge also permitted movement of northern placental mammals into the south, and many of the endemic southern mammals, some marsupials included, went extinct. South America is still home to many marsupials, especially opossums (didelphids), including mouse-like murine opossums, woolly opossums with luxurious fur, and even aquatic opossums with webbed feet. We’ll admit our furry friends may not be everyone’s favorite mammal. Most people encounter opossums just before or after they become road kill. And opossums won’t win beauty contests—Captain John Smith described them as having “a head like a swine and a tail like a rat.” Still, they represent an ancient group of mammals that deserves its share of natural history fame.

Joining the ranks as one of Rappahannock County’s newest wine growers, it represents not only a new vineyard but a new venture on the part of its owners, Pandit and Sudha Patil who are nearly singlehandedly making it happen through their hard work and bravery. “We are doing this on our own,” said Pandit Patil, formerly a highly placed official in the Department of Energy and now a private consultant when he isn’t pruning vines. His wife Sudha has a similarly grape-less background as an endodontist, with a practice in McLean, and they employ as farm manager Peter Richter, formerly of United Airlines. While they don’t have a great deal of experience, the Pandits are learning quickly and hope to one day make their contribution to Rappahannock’s wine community “Narmada is a very famous river in India, a sacred river,” explained Dr. Sudha Patil. The Patils are originally from India, and Pandit’s mother, whose name was Narmada, helped the couple - come to this country. “We were very grateful to her and thought it fitting to name this place after her,” said Sudha Patil. Narmada Vineyard’s gates open onto US-211, and when locals driving by noticed the construction going on at the site and the signs for Greystone, a prominent local construction firm, many assumed that a new housing DREAM COME TRUE: Dr. Sudha PatU looks wistfully out over their vineyard anticipating the good wine to come. REFLECTING: Pandit Patil looks forward to their new venture. development was being built behind the gates. In fact it was the Patdl’s house and outbuildings being constructed, and the fields made ready for grapevines. “This was once all hay fields,” remarked Pandit Patil as he looked out over their now neat rows of vines. “We had to clear it all before we could do anything.” The Patils currently have dedicated 10, out of their 51 acres, exclusively for their grapevines. They have a variety of grapes, including Vidal Blanc, Chambourcin, Chardonelle, and Trammonette. And they hope to one day have even more varieties.” “Maybe in 2007 well plant a hill with Merlot. Fm a Merlot person,” smiled Sudha. However, the Patils have only been growing vines on the land for two years, and vines are all they currently have. It takes several years for a new vineyard to actually produce grapes that can be made into wine. While Sudha prefers the reds, Pandit is quick to point out that he is a Pinot Grigio guy and also is looking forward to trying something really new. “Cherry wine,” grinned Pandit Patil. “Td like to make some cheny HELPING HAND: Eighteen-year-old John Hitt hopes to entice several of his friends to help the Patils at Narmada. RAAC presents Film festival ‘The Power of Color in Film’ • • By Betsy Hille Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community is pleased to announce a film festival at the Theatre at Washington, Va. Friday, September 23 at 8 p.m: and Saturday, September 24 10-noon. American Film Institute professor and author, Patti Bellantoni will travel from Los Angeles to present the two-day festival, showing how the choice of color in film can influence audience mood, reaction, and interpretation of a film’s plot. Friday, September 23 at 8 p.m. the 2004 critically acclaimed drama, “Dear Frankie” will be shown, followed by a talk and group dialogue led by Bellantoni. Then Saturday, September 24 from 10 until noon, lively and entertaining Bellantoni will continue her talk and group dialogue, illustrating her talk with vivid examples from films. Clips from the following films will be shown: “The Verdict,” “Thelma and Louise,” “Taxi Driver,” “Much Ado About Nothing,” “Gladiator,” “The Thin Red Line,” “Billy Elliot,” “About Schmidt,” Moulin Rouge,” “Far From Heaven,” “Age of Innocence,” and “In America.” The festival will continue with a picnic lunch outside (or inside depending on weather) and more group dialogue starting at noon, with box lunches provided by Sunnyside Market. Bellantoni spent twenty five years researching the power of color in visual storytelling, having studied under the renowned color theorist Joseph Albers. Her faculty credits include The Conservatory of the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, the world’s premier film conservatory. Now, a well respected authority among film industry leaders, Bellantoni teaches color and visual storytelling to directors, cinematographers, editors, producers, screenwriters, and Photo courtesy of RAAC BELLANTONI’S LATEST BOOK: “If It’s Purple, Someone’s Gonna Die: The Power of Color in Visual Storytelling" production designers. Remarked Bellantoni, “Color is one of the elements rarely recognized by the audience as manipulating them. This subliminal quality can be magic in the director’s hands.. .color can become a powerful tool for filmmakers to subliminally layer a story!” “My goal is to heighten your awareness of color’s subliminal power,” continued Bellantoni. “We’ve evolved into a generation of talkers with lazy vision. We watch but we don’t see. And we miss out on an experience that enriches our emotional core. Seeing a movie demands a skill that watching a movie doesn’t. This film festival will encourage people to come together as a community on a regular basis to have See BELLANTONI, Page B6 Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Anita L.

But patience is something the Patils have plenty of and they religiously tend to their vines on a daily basis either personally or with the few workers that they have been , able to find. Walking out into their fields, Pandit stops to clear a few weeds, flick off a Japanese Beetle, and explain about TENDING: Pandit Patil has a daily hand in looking after his vines. PESTY: The Patils had to abandon a completely organic approach when Japanese beetles invaded their vines. cutting off some dangling branches. Right now, the Patils must train the vines to grow along guide wires to maximize grape production and create the GROWING STRONG: While years away from producing their first bottle of wine, Narmada Vineyard has 12,000 young vines tenderly being nurtured.

Elizabeth Bradford, 2005 Tbur Manager for CAST, notes that the 2004 production was “universally praised by audiences on both sides of the Pond and we are eager to repeat that success. This year we are presenting “Much Ado About Nothing, possibly Shakespeare’s finest comedy" The Cambridge students describe the action in “Much Ado About Nothing” this way: “Returning victorious from war, Don Pedro and his officers arrive at the English country home of Leonato, totally unprepared for the scheming, sex and celebrations to come. Their rest and relaxation is ruined by beautiful daughters, and jealous, wicked half-brothers, as new paskions are bom, old flames are reignited and plans are made for both marriage and mischief.” This production of Shakespeare’s play is set in modem times. Ms. Bradford continued, “With an occasional cricket match, afternoon tea on the lawn and perhaps even jazz, Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” is a witty whirlwind of love Phil Cleaves plays the part of Don John Photo courtesy ot Elizabeth Bradford and hate, tragedy and happy endings, teaching us that in the ‘merry war’ of the sexes, no one is safe from Cupid’s darts.” Tickets for the performances on September 17 and September 18 are $20 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under.

On Sundays at 8:45 a.m., Reynolds’ early service combines contemporary Christian music with local Christian talent for a fast-paced and informal worship experience. Time for fellowship (with refreshments) follows the contemporary service, then Sunday School classes for all ages run from 10-10:45 a.m. Reynolds traditional service starts at 11 a.m. each Sunday. Rousing historic hymns, adult choral special music, children’s sermons and more traditional elements of worship make this a reverent, rewarding worship experience. At both services visitors will discover that the Holy Bible is God’s true word and Jesus Christ is Lord. Beyond regular worship services, ministries for the family and individuals are mainstays at Reynolds. In summer, Vacation Bible School and Creation Camps provide fun and foundational moral development for children ages infant to 18. Mother’s Uplifting Mothers (MUMS) is a woman’s Bible and book study that meets Thursdays at 9:45 a.m. where quality child care is provided. On Tuesday evenings, informal, serious Bible study runs from 7-8 p.m.. In recent years, focused classes for couples have been exceedingly popular and productive. Course topics include: Christian financial solvency and stewardship, JudeoChristian parenting and Biblical covenant marriage. Reynolds also has been active in prison ministry for more than 15 years. Every year, in all seasons, Reynolds sponsors numerous Christian growth excursions to specialty conferences, concerts and evangelistic events.

The custom of chanting, • reciting, and/or singing laments for the dead remains a part of a living folk tradition in nearly all parts of the world. The tradition of lamenting the dead has been traced back to the rites of prehistoric religions. It has been found to be prevalent in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Israel, Greece, and Rome. In several parts of the world, professional dirge-singers perform laments when relatives of a deceased consider their own expressions of grief inadequate to reflect their sense of loss. Thus, a custom has developed whereby professional mourners, both men and women, are hired to lament the dead on behalf of the bereaved. Each of us mourns in his or her own way.

Memories of special days remembered Growing up in Rappahannock County was a wonderful thing for me, but it was different from what rfty urban brethren experienced. Oneway to demonstrate this is to look at what I thought of as “special days,” i.e., of all the days of the years, which ones did I look forward to the most. For some of us, one of those days would be the last day of school. Ah, freedom! Just as surely, for others, who may have been somewhat more isolated or scholarly, it was probably the first day of school. Certainly, there was Christmas, and, to those in my family, your birthday. It wasn’t for presents, for, quite frankly, when I was a kid, there weren’t many birthday presents. But, our Mother gave us permission to pick what we wanted for supper that night. If memory serves correctly, Charles and I almost always chose fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and home made chocolate ice cream. I know that was my choice. Now, here’s where we diverge a bit on special days from what the kids in big cities like Front Royal and Warrenton might remember. Two of biggest days for me were the first day of hunting season and the first day of fishing season. They were like the greatest holidays. And for hunting season, they might just as well have been school holidays, for very few boys that I grew up with went to school that day. I seem to recall that for a few years, the school planned a teachers’ work day or some such to coincide with the first day of hunting REALTOR fB 30 Sou'h Cameron Street Pt Winchester, Virginia 22601 Office (540) 662-5058 Res: (540) 667-3282 Fax: (540) 722-5020 Being Built In: HAMLETS OF BLUE RIDGE THE VSYRA tfUOSL L0524E7V7 48Rs, 3 FBA* 1 HBA. 42 me* cabinets m krtchen. gas ftfBpiac* (bottled gas), two car garage Mostly wooded 3 acre lot Cat) John W Tnptofl tor more details THl CHBSAPIAK MOML LOSMttfS 1st floor owner suite 9 foot ceilings on mam floor 4 BRs. 2 FBAs, 1 HBA, mostly wooded 3 acre lot. sonrpom Can John W Trpteff tor more details “Privacy” Two brand new homes under construction both on beautiful mostly wooded 3 acre lots located in Round Hill, Va.

For the first day of trout fishing season, Dad would normally take us somewhere up in Old Hollow, near Sperryville. The season would come in at noon, and we were almost always there on the bank, getting the best spot, with the hook baited by about 10:00 a.m., or so. Those were surely some of the longest hours I ever spent, waiting for noon. The first day of hunting season was just as special. Dad would take us down to Ashby Butler’s house, near Woodville. I remember thinking Mr. Butler must have been about the luckiest person in the world, to five right there near that grown over field where the rabbits were so plentiful. We had a couple of beagles, Spot and Bounce, and they were always ready to run a rabbit around for you. I think M.H. got the puppies somewhere, but they belonged to all of us. Spot was named for the big spot on his side, and Bounce was named for his unfortunate habit of wanting to sight race the rabbit rather than trail him by his scent. And when he lost sight of the cottontail, his first resort was to spring, or bounce, into the air like one of those little African deer or antelope to try and see his quarry over the brush. Hunting and fishing were as natural to me as breathing. They were part of my culture; they were, and are, part of who I am. And the beat goes on... This past Saturday and Sunday were big days for the Brady clan. We celebrated the legacy of Moffett and Alice Brady with a family reunion. We had folks from Florida and North Carolina and Arizona and Maryland and other places. During much of preparation and set up for this event, one fellow, who will go unnamed (but it was not the writer), had to excuse himself on Saturday morning. Sorry, but it WAS the first day of squirrel season. And the beat goes on. At this point, I invite your attention to an article in Marion Maggiolo’s publication, “In & Around Horse Country.” The article was written by Rupert Isaacson, and is entitled, “Bushmen Hunting in America.” It deals with the Kalahari Bushmen of Botswana, in southern Africa, and how they have been kicked off their native land by the government to make way for diamond mines. These hunters and gatherers have found a real ally in the fox hunting community here in the States. Seems a little strange at first blush, but when you think about it, it makes perfect sense. As the author so succinctly puts it, hunting is a cultural value, and the loss of that culture strikes those immediately impacted at their very core. “Pricing your Home to Sell” In a hot Real Estate Market the trend is to overprice your home. I often hear the phrase “You can always come down, but it’s hard to price higher once you have established a price.” The truth is that neither the Realtor, nor the seller will determine the price. The price will be determined by the market and what a ready, willing and able buyer is willing to pay. It is very important to price your property within the market to have success in selling. Ask your Realtor to do a Comparative Market Analysis or better yet get a professional appraisal to help you establish a price before you go to market. That way the buyer can make an offer knowing that the Realtor and the Seller have not established the price, but a third disinterested person who has nothing to gain from the sale. Also, it could be possible for the buyer to use the same appraisal to arrange for financing thus creating a win-win situation for everyone.

Bellantoni From Page B1 meaningful dialogue about films, and develop film literacy throughout Rappahannock County and beyond.” Bellantoni’s recently published book, “If It’s Purple, Someone’s Gonna Die: The Power of Color in Visual Storytelling,” explores more than ninety selections from films in which color influences our perceptions and attitudes towards characters and story. Through understanding the subliminal power of color in films, we see who is a villain, who is a victim, who is about to fall in love, and sometimes, who is about to die. Conversations with the author’s colleagues, including two-time Oscar winning Production Designer Henry Bumstead (“Tb Kill A Mockingbird, “The Sting,” “Unforgiven,” “Mystic River,” and “Million Dollar Baby”) reveal how color is often used to communicate what is not said. Says Bumstead about Bellantoni’s book, “A wonderful idea and very impressive! Patti’s book shows the importance of color in developing both character and story.” Leaders in other industries support Bellantoni’s conclusions about color. As excerpted from Bellantoni’s book, “One of the reasons color influences us is due to a phenomenon called resonance. MaryAnn Kilmartin, a bioresonance expert in Sail Diego, talked to Bellantoni about the ideas of Carlo Rubbia who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1984. According to Kilmartin, Rubbia calculated that we are one billion parts light to one part matter. Kilmartin explains, ‘Human beings are basically all light. We look like we are all matter because we are hard-wired to see the particle nature of light. As you recall, light has two forms: particle (solid) and wave (frequency). We feel light however because we are in resonance with light in its wave form. That is what we mean when we talk about feeling red/anger/energy.’” ‘The irony is that color impacts us in ways we cannot see, but it affects how we feel and how we behave,” concludes Bellantoni. When we walk into a red room, it is as if the color red and the human body become two resonating tuning forks. Like a note, our whole system begins to ‘hum’ redphysically, psychologically, and emotionally.” Rappahannock resident Alan Dranitzke had the opportunity to attend one of Bellantoni’s workshops in Mexico last year. Remarked Dranitzke, “I was surprised at how much I learned from Patti after taking her workshop last summer. When RAAC showed “Million Dollar Baby,” recently, I was able to pick up clues as to the surprise ending early in the film, which I never would have been aware of before.” The RAAC film festival is a must for film students, artists, designers, interior decorators, educators, healers, musicians, psychotherapists and scientists, but will also be invaluable to any movie goers seeking a deeper understanding of the visual storytelling experience. Cinema Paradiso at the Packing Shed Comer (the corner of Gay and Porter Streets) in Washington, VA has a display of all the videos/dvds Bellantoni plans to highlight during the two-day event available for previewing now, leading up to the event. Copies of Bellantoni’s book, “If It’s Purple Someone’s Gonna Die: The Power of Color in Visual Storytelling,” will be available for purchase throughout the film festival. Admission fees are as follows: RAAC members: $10 a day, or $18 for both days; for attendees who are not members of RAAC (general public): $15 a day, or $25 for both days. Student discounted tickets $8 each day. Box lunches will be available Saturday, September 24 for $8.

Narmada From Page B1 and pest control from some local sources, including Virginia Tech and some local wine growers. “We’ve been doing a lot of reading,” admitted Pandit. “We’ve also gotten a lot of help from Kenner Love at the Rappahannock County Extension Office and from Grey Ghost Winery in Amissville and Rappahannock Cellars in Huntly,” added Sudha Patil. Despite their non-wine growing backgrounds, the Patils -share a love of drinking fine wines and had been interested in growing grapes for some time before purchasing the land for Narmada in 1999. “We were always thinking about this, for ten or fifteen years,” recalled Pandit. “We loved wines.” The Patils, who are. in their fifties, noticed that the property was for sale while on a trip to tne Imi at Little Washington, and eventually bought it to be the site of their retirement home and vineyard. “The soil here is terrific,” explained Sudha. “We felt this was the place to have our vineyard.” . Battling the beetles Not everything has gone as the Patils planned for Narmada. They had originally wanted their vineyard to be all organic, meaning that no artificial insecticides would be used in their viticulture. However, the Japanese beetles of Rappahannock County made this plan impossible. “When we told everybody that we were going to go organic, they laughed at us,” said Sudha Patil who vivdly recalled the swarms ofpesty beetles that found a feast among their young, vulnerable vines. The Patils tried several organic solutions to the beetle problem, including a garlic spray. “It smelled so bad,” grimaced Sudha. But in the end had to relent in favor of what they call “sustainable organic” which means that they minimize the amount of insecticide used on the plants. *You can be organic, but you’ll be organic without vines” explained Richter as he scooted between rows in the hot sun of the afternoon. For the future of Narmada, the Patils plan to take things slow. They want to get better at growing grapes before they start worrying about actually making wine.”We’re going to keep trying and learning,” said Sudha. The Patils are very gracious and seem to have a calm approach to their dream of producing that first bottle of Narmada wine. Next to their manmade lake, a gazebo has already been erected complete with a lovely sitting area. “That’s our wine tasting place,” smiled Pandit Patil as he headed back to the vines for more pruning. 50th year reunion The Rappahannock High School Class of 1955 recently enjoyed their 50th class reunion at the old high school in Washington, Va.
