According to Sherertz and Montgomery County Police, Coffey is a “person of interest” in the unsolved case of the 1975 disappearance of Katherine and Sheila Lyon from their hometown of Wheaton, Maryland. Although Coffey is already in custody for the murder of a tenyear-old girl in 1979, he has not cooperated with police investigating the disappearance of the Lyon sisters, who were ten and twelve when they went missing 31 years ago.

River From Page A1 The permit The permit, an initial version of which has already been drafted by DEQ, is intended to set standards for the maximum levels of specific contaminants allowed to be present in the Rush River. The contaminants regulated by the permit include fecal coliform bacteria, chlorine, Nitrogen, and phosphorous, among others. Many of these will be present in the effluent Washington proposes to pipe into the Rush, and all of them are already present in the river to some degree. Most notable among these is the fecal coliform bacteria, present in all animal waste and toxic in large amounts. A portion of the Rush River near Washington has already been designated as impaired due to large concentra Extended hours The Rappahannock Commissioner of Revenue Office'has extended office hours from March 27 through the tax season. The office will be open Monday through Friday from 8 ai m. to 5 p.m. through May 1 to assist with income tax forms, personal property forms and Tax Relief for the Elderly.

In fact, it is expected that the treated effluent pouring from Washington’s proposed pipe will actually contain smaller concentrations of fecal coliform than the Rush River already does, although it is also likely that the effluent will also contain many other substances not regulated by DEQ, such as heavy metals. “This is ecology, this is not an exact science,” said Tbrn Faha, water permit manager for DEQ. The public Almost fifty members of the public spoke at the meeting, directing their comments to DEQ and the State Water Control Board as well as to the gathered members present. Many of the comments at the DEQ hearing repeated ideas that have been made either in prior letters to the Rappahannock News or DEQ. “Well, it gave people a platform,” said RLEP president Paul Farmer, referring to the fact everyone who spoke had an opportunity to influence not only the State Water Control Board but to influence the audience as well. “We don’t want to do anything bad, we only want to do good,” said Jeff Benson, another member of the Washington Tbwn Council. “If the discharge is so clean, like distilled water, why doesn’t Washington bottle and sell it?”, exclaimed Kay Wilson, who owns property on the Rush. Elizabeth Haskell, a Rush River property owner among the first to speak out against Washington’s disposal plans, called for a change in DEQ’s policies across the whole state. “The Rush is a zero flow 2006 Rappahannock County Vehicle Decals Rappahannock County 2006 vehicle decals must be displayed by April 15.

Speakers in favor of the permit, which included residents of Washington like Diane Bruce and Robert Ballard as well as those outside the town lines like attorney David Konick and County Administrator John McCarthy speaking for the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. These speakers were concerned with demonstrating that Washington had a definite wastewater problem, and that the town had sought out every available alternative before settling on the Rush River solution. Many shared stories of waste flowing from the town’s failing drain fields, and mentioned bad smells. “Come into the village and see what it’s like when raw sewage gets hot,” said Mitchell. Ballard even held aloft a jelly jar filled with the contents of the ditch behind his property, a ditch that according to Mitchell has been contaminated rrom wasmngton s tailing drain fields since 1982. “I’m no scientist, but this looks bad <to me,” said Ballard. Aside from Ballard’s jelly jar, Washington has cited a question and answer survey from 1997, numerous health department complaints, and the testimony of engineering consultants as evidence of the town’s problems. “If 27 people had failing systems in 1997, statistically the situation can only have gotten worse,” pointed out resident Charlie Thompkins. “The Tbwn of Washington could well be at risk of dying if we are not allowed to fix this problem,” emphasized Diane Bruce. Bruce was a member of the Washington Wastewater Study committee, a body appointed by the town council to study possible solutions to Washington’s wastewater prob lem. According to Bruce, Charlie Thompkins, and Louise Van Dort , all members of the Washington Wastewater Study committee, the town had studied many alternative waste disposal systems, and found that most were not suited to Washington’s small lotd and rocky soil. Opponents of the town’s plans for discharging into the Rush included local riparian land owners like Jim Clark and Elizabeth Haskell, the Piedmont Environmental Council, and concerned Rappahannock residents like Bill Fletcher. In addition, 215 county residents signed a petition provided by Elizabeth Haskell opposing the permit. Those speaking against the permit expressed doubt that enough of Washington’s septic systems were failing to warrant a 60,000 gallon sewage plant, questioning the objectivity of the survey , and the validity of anecdotal evidence. Farmer and Haskell contend 4-1_4- il_L iL- TIT_x_i._ Klil* V WlUUgll bliv TTUOI^/YTai^l Committee studied many alternatives, that only a few alternatives were seriously considered. Opponents at the hearing were also concerned about odors from the effluent, and possible health risks from the chemicals present in effluent not regulated by DEQ. “The people of Little Washington should solve their own problem,” said Fletcher The Friends of the Rush also challenged DEQ’s numbers as well as Washington. According to DEQ, the permit is written to account for the worst possible scenario, which in the case of the Rush was defined by DEQ as a “zero flow situation”, or a nearly dry riverbed, meaning that Washington’s effluent would be almost undiluted. The permit would require that even in that extreme situation, the concentrations of pollutants in a given amount of Rush river water not “The Gold Standard in Equestrian Construction” Toll-free: 1-88&G0LD-CUP (1-888465-3287) ism-souk*?

That's just one of the many reasons Ruth Fusee feels comfortable working at Fauquier Hospital Add to that the friendliness of the staff, and you begin to understand why Ruth loves her job. Ruth is a bedside nurse on the cardiac monitoring unit'renal floor, where she takes care of patients with heart, lung and kidney problems. Because many of her patients have multiple system failures, she coordinates with specialists to produce the best possible outcomes. Ruth says bcinga part of the health of the community is tlx- most fulfilling part of her job. Her favorite patients are the mid lifers she sees coming through the hospital. "We see a lot of patients in their -Rfs with chest panes. ' Ruth says. "They come in here thinking they 're facing the worst, but, many times, it turns ottt'to be something less serious.

According to Paul Farmer of RLEP, such permits should be drafted to account for all flow levels of a river, as changing water levels can strongly affect the relative concentrations of harmful substances. “I would ask the Board to require DEQ to write the discharge pollution requirements more strictly,” said Farmer. Monira Rifaat of the Culpeper Soil and Water District also found fault with the permit. “The nutrient levels in the permit do not appear to have any relationship to the protection of the Rush , these regulations come from statewide regulations for protecting the Chesapeake bay, not the Rush,” said Rifaat. Ultimately, the comments of the public may not have a strong effect on the deliberations of the State Water Control Board.

VPA From Page A1 Rappahannocker just a few weeks before Christmas with its psychedelic blaze of color that Lykes captured at its most glorious moment. Editor Anita Sherman and Leesburg paginator Michelle Burdette garnered a third place win for their combined efforts in “A Walk on the Wild Side” which appeared last April. Anita Sherman wrote the story and took the photographs but it was Burdette’s clever page design and layout that undoubtedly caught the eye of the judges. Former writer Bill Kossler took a second place for “a series of news stories.” Judges commented that Kossler took a rather dry subject (taxes) and crafted a compelling, readable, and interesting series of articles that made this particular judge, “want to read on.” Rounding out the wins was another second place for “editorial writing” won by Anita Sherman. Rappahannock News competed with over 20 other newspapers in their category (Weekly 1) which is based on circulation.

Kaine submitted on Monday two budget bills for consideration by the 2006 Special Session of the General Assembly, which convened at noon to continue work on budget and transportation issues. House Bill 5003 and Senate Bill 5001, the so-called “caboose bill,” covers state spending for the remaining three months of Fiscal Year 2006. House Bill 5004 and Senate Bill 5002 represents the biennial budget for 2006-08. These bills build on the introduced budget and incorporate Governor Kaine’s executive amendments submitted in January, including his transportation proposal, and also .include new amendments, including: • $285.5 million to cover the cost of reclassifying proceeds from the automobile insurance premium tax from the General Fund to transportation. • $39.5 million to fund an increase in the salary adjustment for teachers, principals, assistant principals, librarians, guidance counselors and aides, from 3.0 percent to 4.0 percent, effective December 1, 2006. Meet lenders you can depend on... for financing that's as unique as the property you want to buy. Homes • First-time homebuyeis • 100% financing • Refinancing • Second home & investment properties ■ Farmettes ea estates ■ Livestock ■ Bams, stables & equipment ■ No acreage limitations ■ Construction to permanent ■ Fewer and lower fees ^ The average teacher salary in Virginia currently sits at 95 percent ($45,377) of the national average. • A one-time appropriation of $12 million to be distributed to localities to support firefighting activities. Firefighters are among first responders to terrorist attacks, hazardous substance spills, natural disasters and accidents. • $16.4 million in funding to localities to cover the cost for enhanced retirement benefits to sheriffs’ deputies. • approximately $3.5 million to prevent 60 mostly urban local governments from receiving less in HB599 law enforcement funds than they received last fiscal year. • An amendment to increase the retirement multiplier for state police troopers from 1.7 to 2.0 percent, and to provide the necessary funding to pay into the Virginia Retirement System. This action will enhance the retirement benefits for state troopers and will encourage more individuals to consider becoming state troopers in a tight and competitive job market. • $3 million to raise the cap on the distribution of profits to localities by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. Since FY 2005, such distributions have been frozen at $4.1 million per year due to budget constraints. • an additional $16 million for the Virginia Department of Veterans Services to hire 15 additional service administrators and claims examiners to assist the approximately 750,000 military veterans who live in Virginia apply for federal benefits. • $1.3 million to provide a $2,000 re-enlistment bonus for eligible members of the Virginia National Guard who re-enlist between April 1st and September 30, 2006. Case From Page A1 “We have it on credible authority that Coffey was here, in Sperryville or Washington, in March of 1975,” explained Sherertz. The Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office is interested in speaking with anyone who remembers Coffey from 1975, as any information about his presence in Rappahannock County at the time could help the investigation. The disappearance of the Lyon sisters was a high profile incident in this region in 1975. The girls are the daughters of John Lyon , a locally famous radio personality on WMAL at the time. The girls went missing on March 25,1975, after walking from their home to a nearby shopping center.

There are houses within its boundaries that have failing septic systems. There are residents that need to put boots on to walk in their backyards for fear of stepping in more than lawn fudge. There is an odor that permeates the air when the temperature starts getting warmer. Town officials are weary of waiting and want action after years of failed attempts to address the problem. They are committed to moving forward to build a wastewater treatment plant that will not only solve the town’s failing septic systems but benefit the county as a whole. They believe their course is true. There are others in the county who strongly believe that putting that effluent liquid into the Rush River is a mistake. More than a mistake it represents shortsightedness on the part of the town and that building a wastewater treatment plant is not the answer - there are other alternatives to look at. remaps Kappahannock County could become a model for the entire state if an innovative approach was taken to disposing of wastewater. The county’s size could be perfect for such an endeavor. And that DEQ permit - it’s a permit to pollute in the minds of some residents. They believe that their course is true. The Battle of the Rush has neighbors and colleagues at odds. So far everyone is staying civil and as one resident so eloquently stated, “we’re not acrimonious in our disagreement.” Is there a right path to walk through this muck of detritus? Both sides are convinced that they are right and that their position is the more reasonable, effective and healthy for the county. There are a few points that nearly everyone agrees on - no one wants to be thought of as a polluter and one who would intentionally harm all that is Rappahannock and most fear the development that a more sophisticated wastewater system could bring. Is there one answer that will solve the challenge? For now, the debate continues.

The 2006 PMI/Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group Multiple Sclerosis Walk on Saturday, April 1, in Culpeper, Virginia! I am walking to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This is my third year participating. For those of you that sponsored me Jast year, thank you so much for your generosity in helping me raise $1400.00. This year I want to surpass my achievement by raising $2500.00. Keep in mind that every charitable donation you make is tax deductible, and I will provide you with receipts for your tax records if you wish. Multiple Sclerosis is a devastating disease of the central nervous system that strikes young adults between the ages of 15 and 50. Multiple Sclerosis is devastating because it is so unpredictable. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of the disease cannot be foreseen. You never know when attacks will occur, how long they will last, or how severe they will be. I want to try to make a difference in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. I hope I can count on you to help me reach my goal and make a difference in the lives of those affected by Multiple Sclerosis. I would like to ask you for a minimum pledge of $30.00. If we pool our efforts, we can make a difference.

Spring also brings the Twenty-Eighth Annual Fodderstack 10-K Race, which will run from the Vierling’s Packing Shed in Flint Hill to Washington. This year, the beefiness of sluggers will give way to the slightly less pharmacologically-induced skill of the wicked slider. Steroid use having now been revealed to have been rampant in Major League Baseball, it falls now to us to reveal the dirty little secret of performance enhancing steroids in the Fodderstack’s past. You might not initially believe that runners would benefit by the bulk produced by steroid use (and you’d be right), not to mention hormonal imbalances and wild mood swings. Nevertheless, there are those few who constantly look for an edge, little reckoning that they stand just as likely to be cut, as to cut with 11. Thus, ill-advised self-medication probably explains last year’s three runners with 22inch necks, 1,000-yard stares, and combined .954 slugging percentage. The fact that all three left the course (sort of; see below) at various points during the race does a great deal to explain their poor showing in the standings. One failed to turn onto the Fodderstack Road from 522 just after the start, despite the best directions from the State Trooper, but simply barreled ahead and was last seen entering Culpeper County near Slate Mills booming something about “Chuck Norris doesn’t TURN!” The second one seemed to become irrationally enchanted at the sounds of birds on the course, and left the road to wander in the fields, blathering on about “Pretty, pretty flowers...” The third, rumored to be female, although perhaps only to the extent that a 1970s-era Soviet Women’s shot-putter could be said to be so, blew right through Washington about 4 minutes before she left Flint Hill, posing something of a conundrum to the whole time-space continuum, not to mention we race timers, who have real trouble with positive numbers, much less negative ones (we scored it a "false start”, which we thought was both fair and metaphysically f The Forum I John McCarthy challenging, too). And so sportsmen, leave off the dreams of strange new worlds to conquer and just go out, have a good time, and ignore the folks who take themselves too seriously. While there are any number of participants who legitimately compete for the $300.00 cash prize offered to the runner who bests the course record of 31:26 for men or 36:46 for women, the emphasis is on best efforts. The first, second and third place trophies crafted by local artisan Merrill Strange for males and females in each of now twelve categories also acts as something of an incentive., and perhaps the Eva Smith Memorial trophies to the firef finicKmrr Pnr\r\nV\nr\n --D -ri-"*** County resident (male and female ) also adds some fleetness of foot to a field which is otherwise rather short on attitude but lon^on.. well.. perseverance. If you are not currently on a respirator, the odds are good that you’ll be able to seriously compete. Really though, the bottom line is getting out and enjoying the first blush of Spring. In addition to the awards, t-shirts and the cheers of the huddled masses lining the race course, for the fifth time we are offering drawings for gifts donated by local businesses. Local B&Bs including Middleton Inn will offer overnight accommodations for two, the Flint Hill Public House is offering lunch for four, and the Country Cafe is offering a gift certificate, among many others. You must be present at the awards ceremony to wan these prizes. The race runs from the Flint Hill Packing Shed downn Rt. 522 to a right turn onto Fodderstack Road. Continue winding down the Fodderstack Road where some helpful local residents wall keep you from wandering off the course. Hint: if the only other runners you see are four-legged, have ear tags and a certain bovine expression, you’re off course, unless you are a member of Future Farmers of America. At several points. Girl Scouts will be passing out water (or water to those passing out), and the Rescue Squad will be perched on Lee’s Hill for the faint of heart, short of breath and imminent of death. Don’t worry, you’ll be on the home stretch then, and its (almost) all downhill from there. A Deputy (don’t dissent, he’s armed also) will turn you left in Washington, and you’ll go right to the Courthouse on Gay Street and a big finish where the spectators will cheer you to the rooftops (which as you probably know aren’t all that high so this isn’t saying much). Since its inaugural run back when baseball was played by men in walrus mustaches, the Fodderstack has become a high point in the local calendar of events. Both long-time local runners, Rappahannock wannabes and the odd dedicated runner (and are they evor) travel to Rappahannock for what is often the first great, day of Spring. We must add that there has been only one rainy Fodderstack in the last fifteen years. Bus service begins from Washington to Flint Hill at approximately 8:45 AM. Registration in Flint Hill at the Volunteer Fire Department Fairgrounds starts at 8:30 a.m. and runs until 9:30 a.m. in time for the Race’s start at 10 a.m. Pre-registration (postmarked by April 18 to PO Box 124, Flint Hill, VA 22627) is $20.00, and is $25.00 the day of the race. In any event, win or lose, a good time will be had by all, and we urge you to come out and run, walk, crawl or roll the race. Failing that, come out and enjoy the day by cheering the runners and attending the awards ceremony on the Courthouse steps, which should go off about noon.

Conservation Corner Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance Who’s Doing What? An occasional series on land conservation in Rappahannock County sponsored by the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA): 9879118; rcca 1 @earthlink. net. By Hal Hunter Special to the Rappahannock News “We have so many conservation groups I can’t tell them apart. There’s, what, RLEP, PEC, RappFLOW, RCCA, I don’t know what else. What’s the difference? Why don’t they all just get together?” Good question. There are six. Since this column is sponsored by the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance, we begin with RCCA and describe how we’re different from the other five. Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA) RCCA was formed in 1999 to help keep the county “scenic and rural.” Early activities included principal sponsorship of the survey of county historic resources, brochures about conservation tools — land use taxation, agricultural and forestal districts, and conservation easements — and a “buildout analysis” that showed the population could triple with, no change in zoning. , Two years ago RCCA decided to focus entirely on conservation easements. We were the catalyst for the county’s Farmland Preservation Program and raise funds for that program through annual “Rappahannock Evening Views .” RCCA also conducts seminars on the purchase and sale of Virginia tax credits that r'esult from easement donations, and distributes literature on easements and tax credits. In short, RCCA promotes easements. Nothing but easements. “RCCA” spells “easements.” Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) RLEP is “dedicated to preserving the natural resources and rural character of Rappahannock County, Virginia.” Founded in 1970 to fight a power line, RLEP recently celebrated a 35th birthday. Over the years RLEP has supported conservation easements, the county comprehensive plan, recycling, land use taxation, agricultural and forestal districts, traffic studies, and historic preservation. See www.RLEP.org. RLEP currently monitors Clevenger’s Comer, junk cars, roads, watersheds, land fills, and wastewater management. Projects include an exposition on alternative energy tech nologies (May 20 at the Fauquier County Fairgrounds), a Biodiversity Task Force, and the restoration and beautification of the Washington Courthouse grounds. How is RCCA Different? RLEP encourages conservation easements and donates plaques to landowners who donate them but does not actively seek easement donations. RCCA does. Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) PEC is “a 30-year-old nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting-and protecting the Piedmont’s rural economy, natural resources, history and beauty.” The PEC service area encompasses nine counties — Loudoun, Clarke, Fauquier, Rappahanilock, Culpeper, See RCCA, Page A7 PICK UP YOUR CIRCULAR Packed With Great Savings in Every Department!

RCCA From Page A5 Madison, Orange, Greene and Albemarle. Programs deal with transportation, power plants, air quality, historic preservation, and land conservation. See www.PECVA.org. PEC is headquartered in Warrenton with a staff of 32 and field offices in six counties, including a Sperryville office in Rappahannock County. The 39member PEC Board of Directors includes five Rappahannock residents. The local Land Conservation Officer works in both Rappahannock and Clarke counties. How is RCCA Different? We operate only in Rappahannock County. PEC supports us with advice and technical information. We support PEC with information on local conditions. Rappahannock Friends and Lovers of Our Watersheds (RappFLOW) RappFLOW was formed in 2002 “to help preserve, protect, conserve and restore water resources and watersheds in Rappahannock County.” RappFLOW volunteers study watersheds and water quality, and educate citizens and landowners on ways to protect their streams. See www.RappFLOW.org. RappFLOW is in the second phase of a five-year countywide watershed management planning project, in partnership with 16 other organizations including the Rappahannock County government. How Is RCCA Different? RappFLOW encourages conservation easements, especially on riparian land (the banks of streams and rivers), but does not focus exclusively on land conservation. We do. The Krebser Fund for Rappahannock County Conservation The Krebser Fund is one of seven funds managed by the Piedmont Foundation, a PEC supporting organization managed by a 10-member board. The fund honors the memory of Dr. Werner Krebser, a family practitioner and 22-year member and chair of the County Planning Commission, who worked to protect the scenic beauty and open spaces of Rappahannock County from 1961 until his death in 2003. The Fund works to secure easements on county property by option or purchase. The Fund pays for legal, due diligence, marketing and other costs directly associated with these transactions. How Is RCCA Different? RCCA encourages easement donations through education and information to the community at large. The Krebser Fund targets specific properties for support. Farmland Preservation Program The Board of Supervisors established the Farmland Preservation Program in 2004 to purchase the development rights from owners of working farms. The program protects land by placing it in conservation easements and creates a financially competitive alternative to selling the land for nonagricultural purposes. The owner continues to own and farm the farm. Settlement for the first recipient of funds from the Farmland Preservation Program is scheduled for May, 2006. Three hundred acres of county farmland will be protected by conservation easements. In short, farmers can offer their development rights to the Farmland Preservation Program in exchange for a lump sum payment the owner can spend as he/she wishes. The land represented by the payment is then placed in easement. How Is RCCA Different? RCCA supports the Farmland Preservation Program but does not purchase development rights. Also, the FPP is restricted to working farms; RCCA encourages easements on any property that might be developed. Who cccepts easement donations? Easements are normally donated to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF), created in 1966 by the Virginia General Assembly for that purpose. Other organizations that have accepted donations include the Culpeper Soil & Water Conservation District, the Shenandoah National Park, and a few others. Summary RCCA encourages easements in Rappahannock County. That’s it; that’s all we do. RLEP recognizes and supports easements. Not a focus. PEC partners with RCCA on land conservation programs in the Piedmont area. RappFLOW encourages and supports easements. Not a focus. The Krebser Fund chooses specific properties for easement support. The Farmland Preservation Program purchases development rights on working farms. Track and Held faces uphill run By A.J. Collins Special to the Rappahann >ck News In this case, numbers do count. They can intimidate, too. Warren County and Page County used their numbers to dominate the boys and girls track and field meet against Rappahannock Wednesday afternoon in Shenandoah. Rappahannock has just 29 athletes competing on its two teams. Schools like Warren and Page have larger populations, so they have more athletes from where to draw. RandolphMacon Academy also participated in the meet. “Mentally, they see the numbers,” Rappahannock County head coach Scott Stephens said. “It can affect them that day.” Still, the Panthers did find some success in their second-place finish. Senior Samantha Brown had a dominant performance in the field events, as she won the nigh jump and finished fourth in the shot put, discus and long jump. Junior Emily Raney was second in the triple jump and 400-yard dash. The Panthers took third in the team standings. Junior Josh Makela won the 3,200-yard run for the second time this season. Seniors Chris Harris and Corey Voorhies finished third in the high jump and shot put, respectively. Harris also finished fourth in the 100. Junior Irving Smith was fourth in the high jump.

School News Wakefield Country Day School Tb help celebrate the arrival of spring, Wakefield kindergarteners once again captured the hearts of the audience with their amazing recitation of William Wordsworth’s, “Written in March.” Thanks to the efforts of teachers Kathy Nilan and Stephanie Pressler, in amazing unison, the two classes proudly recited their words, fairly leaping off the stage when they reached the part: “The plowboy is whooping—anon-anon: There’s joy in the mountains; There’s life in the fountains...” Hearthstone School The 4th-5th grades at Hearthstone School are currently studying local history.

They will next be focusing on Thomas Jefferson, James and Dolly Madison, Benjamin Franklin and Woodrow Wilson. A walking tour of Sperryville is also planned with local historian, James Russell. The 4th -5th grades have also begun writing practice poems for the upcoming poetiy reading to be held at Hearthstone School on May 12, and are studying long division, fractions and decimals. The high school classes are currently studying 19th and 20th Centuiy English Literature, focusing on Alice Walker, Upton Sinclair, James Baldwin and Ralph Waldo Emerson. They have also begun their apprenticeships, with students working in newspaper reporting with the Rappahannock News, as well as horticulture, child care and midwifery and photography.

The Board also approved Chappell putting just the track portion of the work out for sealed bids by April 18. The schools plan to use approximately $90,000 of the interest earned on the $4 million loan to pay for the track, but will also need the $60,000 from the Ann Spieker Foundation in order to pay the anticipated cost for the track of approximately $150,000. The asphalt track will be coated with a layer of “latex bound track surface containing black rubber particles bound together with fortified latex binder” to help protect legs of students running on the track.

Panther soccer teams looking to find net By Chris Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News Head boys varsity soccer coach Shay Bell has a “so what” attitude toward his Rappahannock County team’s 1-3 start to its season. “This is definitely the worst start I’ve had at Rappahannock,” said Bell, who is in his fifth year as head coach of the Panthers. “I told them not to get too down about it. It’s (Group A Bull Run) district play that counts.” To jump start the Panthers, particularly their offense, Bell made three significant changes in his lineup. He tossed out the sweeper formation and moved Will Sonnett to the midfield. Then, he switched senior Matt Lawrey to the front line and junior All-District selection Alex Ramey to the midfield. “After three games, we had scored only three goals,” Bell said. “We’ve to get some good production.” After winning its first game, 1-0, over Warren County, Rappahannock dropped back-to-back games to Millbrook, 5-1, and 4-2. Monday night, Stonewall Jackson-Quicksburg, the fourth-ranked Group A school, defeated the visiting Panthers, 2-0. But Rappahannock dominated play, except for the score. “For us to stick it out like that . we played Stonewall tough," Bell added. The Generals scored in the second and 78th minutes of the game. Between the goals, Rappahannock controlled play. Three times, the Panthers’ shots hit the goal posts. Rappahannock finished with 23 shots on goal. “We’re working on finishing (our shots),” Bell said. “The last couple of games, we had 30-plus shots. As soon as we get the ball in the back of the net, we’ll be fine.” But the Rappahannock boys varsity soccer program is not the only one suffering from a power shortage. The Lady Panthers are still experiencing growing pains early in the season. Despite a Hannah Rosenbaum goal off a comer kick, Rappahannock dropped its fourth game, 3-1, Monday night at Stonewall JacksonQuicksburg. Rappahannock girls head coach Jared Nieters seems pleased with the way his team is slowly coming together, especially on the defensive side of the ball. “Emma Hathaway has done a good job of communicating to and organizing the defense,” Nieters added. Rosenbaum’s goal was also Rappahannock’s first of the season. Earlier, the Lady Panthers dropped games to Millbrook, 3-0 and 1-0, and Warren County, 4-0. “The team is developing a cohesive offense with effective play on the flanks by Hannah and (sophomore) Ashley Vest,” Nieters said. “Courtney Hutcheson has done an incredible job in net, quickly learning to play her athleticism to a new sport.” We would like to congratulate Garan on 3 years of exceptional sales with Jim Harris Buick Pontiac GMC. • “I would like to thank all of my past customers for their business and welcome new clients to the Jim Harris family.

Beat up on another nonBull Run District opponent. Freshman Amanda Smoot and junior Christina Naramore pounded out three hits apiece in leading the Lady Panthers to a 16-3 win over visiting Group AA opponent Warren County. The win came just three days after Rappahannock suffered its first loss of the season, an 8-5 extra-inning defeat at the hands of Page County. “Page is a regional game, and we have to beat them to go on in (Region B) play,” Rappahannock head coach Ritchie Burke said. “But the seven errors killed us. It was just some inexperience, and wp ont. in t.rnnhlp ” Burke pointed out that a loss to Page, which it is not a district match up, hurts because the teams could face each other in the regional tournament in late May. A split could be nice, he said, but it could be difficult because Page hosts the rematch April 7. “We need to use our home field advantage,” Burke added, “because it’s going to be tougher to beat them over there.” In the game against Page, Katie Burke rapped a two-run double in the seventh to send the game into extra inning tied at 5. But Page took advantage of some Rappahannock miscues in the ninth to pull out an 8-5 win. The game was filled with fielding mistakes. Rappahannock’s seven errors led to just two earned runs for Page. The Lady Panthers scored just three earned rims off of Page’s misfires. “I told the girls that it must have been a holiday as they gave Page a very nice gift,” Burke said. A strong offensive showing, coupled with better defensive play, powered Rappahannock’s victory over Warren County Friday afternoon. Amanda Smoot led the attack with a home run, two doubles and four RBI. Naramore finished with two singles, a double and four RBI. Rebecca Tupper raised her record to 3-1. She allowed just two runs on four hits. She struck out seven in four innings of work. “We did hit the ball better, but Warren didn’t have much pitching,” Burke said. “The game gave some of the younger kids some experience.” NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND INTENTION TO ADOPT ORDINANCES BY THE TOWN OF WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA KINDLY TAKE NOTICE*that the Town Council and Planning Commission of the Town of Washington, Virginia will hold a joint public hearing on the 12th day of April, 2006, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Town Hall of Washington, Virginia to consider the adoption of the following ordinances: 1.

March 30, 2006 EPILOGUE: Johanna Day, along with cast members, take time after the play to address questions. Photo by Richard Lykes From Rappahannock to ‘Rainmaker’ Johanna Day stars in play at Arena Stage By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Stepping into a role made famous on Broadway 50 years ago by Geraldine Page, and later in an Oscarnominated screen performance by Katharine Hepburn, Rappahannock’s own Johanna Day stars in a new adaptation of Rainmaker at Arena Stage under the direction of Lisa Peterson. Judging from the sustained applause and dialogue with the audience after the play this past week, Day excels in her interpretation of this warm play about self esteem, beauty, and love. The plot of The Rainmaker centers around a young girl whose father and brothers are concerned that she may become a spinster if she doesn’t get married soon. “Lizzie” also would like to get married but is too intelligent to stoop to flirting and cooing like other girls in town. Besides, she thinks she is not pretty so why try. However, along comes a charming con-man who promises he can make rain to save their struggling farm in the Dust Bowl. In the mixture that develops, there is a brief “interlude” where Starbucks, the charismatic miracle man convinces her through his attentions that she is beautiful. Although the play may seem dated for 2006, it is a classic, made-inAmerica type of miracle story that evokes a sense of place and time with a message of redemption that is always popular. Day has come a long way since her days at Rappahannock County High School in the 1980s where she was an occasional actor but better known as a prize-winning sprinter and athlete. Long a pride and joy to her family, this talented actor is now gamering national recognition as a serious player on the national stage scene. Day’s Broadway credits include Proof—a play which earned her a Ibny nomination for “Best Performance by a Featured Actress.” She also has appeared in numerous other plays on and off-Broadway., as well as a highly acclaimed performance at Arena Stage three years ago in An American Daughter. Johanna Day is the daughter of the late Eileen Day of Sperryville and of Walter Day of Flint Hill. Her large family, including eight other siblings, are immensely proud of “baby sister” and all have gone to see her plays. Johanna returns home to “beautiful Rappahannock County” whenever she can slip away from her work as an actor—even when she is in New York where she currently lives. Asked how she compares this play to others in her career, Day offered this insight into her work: “All of the plays I’ve been in have been rewarding experiences. What was important to me in this play was to take a role equivalent to “Hamlet for women” and do it right. In addition, there was ‘perfect chemistiy between the actors and the director. As this creative interaction developed, The Rainmaker became one of my favorite plays.” Like a song that never leaves you, the common aspirations of all of us for love and miracles in this world plays on If You Go The Rainmaker is currently playing at Arena Stage on the waterfront in Washington, D.C. until April 9. Tickets are available online at http://www.arenastage.prg or you can call their box office at (202) 488-3300. Ticket prices range from $41 to $60. in one’s memory. Eric D. Snider, another reviewer of this play some years ago, concluded that the drama is a “celebration of humanity and of what makes tts happy. Ultimately, the power to be happy is in ourselves, and the ptyy reminds us of that.” Teakettle! Teakettle! Time to get up Every morning a male Carolina wren perches just outside our bedroom window and announces that it’s 6:30. TEA-kettle! TEA-kettle! TEA-kettle! TEA! Outside we see a feisty little bird flitting around in the bushes near the house. Brash and bold, he cocks his head, leans back and sings again. Sharp, emphatic and powerful, the notes penetrate the morning stillness. The songs are repeated many times, and then change to a different pattern. ChoWE! Cho-WE! Cho-WE! Cho-WE! Cho-WE! But he is not alone. Between songs there is a distinctive cicada-like buzzing from a nearby female, his worthy mate. She lets him know that she is there, that she can hear him, and that he is certainly a fine spec linen of a male. Perhaps encouraged by this, he continues to sing, pausing only long enough for the female to dutifully acknowledge. The songs, sometimes solos and other times duets, change over and over again. The male peals out his irrepressible song and the female responds. All of this has been going on all winter and will continue till year, becoming more insistent now as the spring mating period gets into full swing. Carolina wrens are year-round RappNature Sara and Jim Lawrey Rappnature@aol.com residents, and mated pairs remain together throughout the year defending permanent territories. Some pairs mate for life. They are certainly among the most familiar and popular of songbirds, and worth watching anytime. Though small for birds they are fairly large for wrens, typically 5 Vi inches from beak to tail, and very attractive, with reddish-brown upper parts and buff under parts. Most striking is the pure white stripe above each eye. In winter we can also see the appropriately named (for us, anyway) winter wrens, wide-ranging migratory wrens that breed in the Appalachian mountains and throughout the northern United States and Canada. These are tiny, mouse-like birds no more than 4 inches long, with duller colors than Carolina wrens and lacking the distinctive eyebrows. Most noticeable are their ludicrously short tails that are held erect in a perky pose that is the picture of bird cuteness. House wrens are also common in the county, but only in summertime when they migrate from southern wintering grounds to breed here. House wrens are similar in color to winter wrens, but larger with longer tails. And it wouldn’t be impossible to see Carolina Wren Bewick’s wrens since the county is on the eastern border of their range. These birds are most similar in appearance to Carolina wrens, but smaller and grayer above and whiter below. Note their nests All wrens are famous for their noisy songs, perky behavior and messy nesting habits. We love the first two characteristics, and grudgingly accept the last. Wrens are cavity nesters and generally nest in woodpecker holes or nesting boxes. But they are also known to select the most inconvenient locations for us humans, including hanging planters, watering cans, mailboxes, clothespin bags, or car bumpers. Each year for the past ten years, our resident Carolina wrens have insisted on nesting in our tractor. What they see in this tractor we haven’t quite figured out. But their use of it gives us the chance to watch all stages of nesting there. This starts with “dummy” nests, loose piles of leaves and grass built by the male. He places several dummies strategically upder the hood, on the battery, on any available flat surface. Male dummy nests are supposed to advertise nesting spots to the female, but the male doesn’t restrict himself to visual advertising. He also sings incessantly, and when the female arrives he takes her to each location. She is very picky and usually chooses the site most inconvenient to us, perhaps on the radiator cap. There she builds a proper nest, forming a lopsided mound of woven grass, moss and sticks. This she does very quickly (in less than a day sometimes), then she lays a clutch of five or six tiny whitish eggs which she incubates for about two weeks. When chicks hatch, both parents feed them insects for about another two weeks until they fledge and leave the nest. So the tractor is out of commission for a month, tops. We figure it’s a small price to pay for the fun they give us the rest of the year. Espinola first at Lions Regional Bland contest By Bob Lander Special to the Rappahannock News “First” at the Rappahannock Lions Club Bland Contest; now, “First” at the Lions Region IV Bland Contest, Nicole Marie Espinola, daughter of Lorraine Duisit of Washington, is a gifted pianist and tenth grade student at Rappahannock County High School. Nicole placed second at the 2005 region contest. She will compete at the district level of the Lions statewide Bland Contest at Alexandria on April 30. Should she be judged first at the district contest, Espinola will be eligible to complete at the state level contest to be held at the Virginia Lions State Convention in Hampton, Virginia in May, 2006. First Prize at the state level can be as much as a $2,500 music scholarship. The Rappahannock Lions Club has conducted the local Bland Contest for Rappahannock students and/or residents, K12, annually for over 20 years. Nicole’s accomplishment is the first time that a student winner of the local contest went on to win the regional contest. Dave Hilty, President of the Rappahannock Club, remarked that, “the competition is tough at the region level when you mix in all the competing stu-. dents from the surrounding counties and Fairfax. Nicole did a great job representing herself and the county. We’re proud of her.” Nicole’s performance of, “Danzas Argentinas III”, by Alberto Ginestera, was flawless in her keyboard mastery and expressive phrasing of the composer’s up tempo composition. It was as if she was one with the composer as she moved from lower to upper registers and back in complete control of the instrument and the written music. Photo by Diane Beltord SIMPLY GRAND: Nicole Espinola (second from left) won the instrumental division of the Lions Region IV Bland Contest. Julia Hutfils won Honorable Mention in the vocal division. Also pictured are Bob Lander (far left) and Larry Grove, co-chairs of the 2006 Rappahannock Lions Club Bland Music Contest. Ginestera was 23 years old when he composed “Danzas” in 1939. Nicole’s selection of this obscure, difficult piece attests to her level of proficiency with her instrument. Two distinguished judges selected her performance as number one of three other pianists and a flutist, ranging in ages 11-18. Julia Hutfils, an exchange student from Germany, and senior at RCHS, competed with two other vocalists and received Honorable Mention for her performance. She was accompanied by her teacher, Lynn Fournier. Julia’s host “parents” are Diane and Bob Belford of Flint Hill. Hutfils was judged the winner of the Rappahannock contest over five other vocalists making her eligible for the region contest.

Part 2 As much as fishing and trout pervade my memories and consciousness, there is another area that is equally instrumental to this story, and to my own development, as well. If I must be confined to the indoors, I want to be confined to the kitchen. Like many people, I grew up eating dinner prepared every night by the best cook in the world. My culinary techniques have grown and branched out in many ways since I made my first pancakes, but it was Mom who got me started. She was not one to turn out eggs benedict, or souffles, and I am pretty sure the first omelet I ever tasted was made in my apartment at college. But, eggs and sausage and gravy and toast and potato cakes and homemade preserves for the biscuits were the norm at her breakfast table. Today, I cook some pretty diverse dishes, and some of them, I am told, are pretty impressive. Most of these my mother would never have dreamed of cooking and many of them she still won’t consider eating. Nevertheless, this passion for cooking was planted firmly by my mother, knowingly or not. Today I have gadgets and spices and pots in my kitchen that Mom wouldn’t recognize. Although she owns a pepper grinder now ... a present from me ... I can’t remember her ever having one growing up. For me, it’s one of those “can’t live without” items. I can’t imagine cooking a steak or anything else without one. I will bend on this, but for only two exceptions. The two best meals I can think of eating, the two things I would request for my last meal or my birthday, are one, breakfast at Mom’s, and two, her fried chicken with all the trimmings. The taste of these meals is so ingrained in my memory, such a part of me, that there is no way to improve on it. There is something so set, so matter of fact about these meals, that the use of a pepper grinder seems more like sacrilege than an improvement. Nothing but store bought ground pepper will do on my eggs, no matter who is cooking. I don’t display the PRICE Southern Shores, NC Clarence Miller “Kit” Price died friday, March 24, 2006.

In lieu of flowers, memorial Inspiring TRaugfifo by Randy Minter | IN BLACK AND WHITE TERMS In our culture, black clothing is selected for mourning garb because it is associated with a somber attitude. However, not all cultures have the same outlook. For instance, white is worn by fhoumers in Japan and China. In parts of Africa, mourners adorn their bodies with red paint. Some contend that we wear black because it is so out of the ordinary with what we usually wear. In fact, it has been said that one of the reasons that we wear black is to use it as a sort of disguise. This notion arises from the ancients’ desire to protect themselves from death spirits by wearing disguises. Mourning veils may be one lingering manifestation of this practice. What's most important, of course, is what is in our hearts. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave, Warrenton, we are known for our sensitivity, compassion, and professional care. Call us at 3473431 to set up an appointment. Bright View Cemetery, just outside Warrenton, offers monuments and memorials for all cemeteries.
