Monday was very windy and the flag flew nearly straight in front of the Courthouse. r By Anita L. Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer County administrator John McCarthy was admittedly teary eyed at the loss of Charles K. “Pete” Estes. “Pete’s authority is evident throughout this county,” said a somber McCarthy. “He loved and was loved by a fine woman and he was respected by many.” “I will miss him.” Estes, who died surrounded by family in the early hours of April 1, was laid to rest on Tuesday afternoon at Sperryville Cemetery. The service held earlier at the Sperryville United Methodist Church was a celebration of his life with reflections from those who worked closely with him over his many years of public service. The church was packed and outside cars lined the streets. Rev. Jennings Hobson III remembered a “curly” Estes who liked a certain kind of apple in his cider. “Pete genuinely cared,” smiled Hobson, “about this community, the people here, and the future.” “I’m his Yankee connection,” grinned Rev. John Heddleston who remembered Estes from his days as the editor of the Rappahannock News. “He’d tell you what he wanted you to know,” laughed Photo courtesy of the Estes family Charles K. ‘Pete’ Estes IN HONOR: Monday afternoon’s Board of Supervisors meeting remembered Pete Estes. Robert Anderson, to the left of county administrator John McCarthy, will succeed Estes as chairman. Photo by Richard Lykes Heddleston who reflected on Estes and his love of learning and willingness to help. “He taught me what a Southern gentleman was all about and his Aunt Virginia gave the land that Reynolds Memorial sits on today.” Estes’ daughter Susan was elegant in her words as she recalled a father that demanded respect and who left her and her family with a rich tradition steeped in respecting others. “He had a sign that read, “the boss isn’t always right, but he’s the boss.” “Papa Pete was our constant guiding hand. He’ll always be a soft whisper in our ears.” Commonwealth’s attorney Peter Luke figured out that over Estes lifetime they had shared over 200 meetings together taking care of the public’s business. “Pete and I sat together making the hard decisions,” recalled Luke. “He was true to his oath, he always came prepared and he was always fair.” “Once he dug in his heels, you couldn’t move him.” Luke was quick to point out that Estes was very competitive and had a quick mind. “He had a fantastic memory..particularly for historical events. He was a walking encyclopedia.” See ESTES, Page A8 Meetings & Notices • On Thursday, April 6, the Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Courthouse on Gay Street. • On Tuesday, April 11, the Rappahannock County School Board will meet at 7 p.m. (closed session) and 7:30 p.m. (public session) at RCHS band , room. • On April 12 at 7:30 p.m. the Town Council and the Planning Commission will hold a joint public hearing at Town Hall to consider the adoption of the following ordinances: 1.

That’s the figure that has been presented to the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors by the superintendent and the Rappahannock School Board. The dollar figure represents an increase of 4.69 percent. According to School Board Chairman Wes Mills, “we have done prudent work...we have been very diligent about not asking for too much...” The proposed budget includes an even more modest increase in teacher salaries: 3x/i percent. The new starting salary would be $34,502. The vice-chair of the School Board, Aline Johnson, hoped that “salaries would be equal to those in the surrounding counties so that we could attract and retain the best teachers.” But, she added, “right now we are at See BUDGET, Page A2 Where’s the beef? By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sunnyside Farms is known for promoting sustainable organic fanning as a valid economic enterprise, but there have been recent indications that the multi-million dollar business may be seeking a new direction. Outside of Rappahannock County,one of Sunnyside’s most popular offerings has always been their Kobe beef. The high quality Kobe beef had come from the special strain of Wagyu cattle raised at Sunnyside, but this is about to change. Sunnyside Farms has decided to stop producing their Kobe beef, touching off rumors that the prominent business could be leaving Rappahannock County. “I would disagree with those rumors,” said Sunnyside General Manager Gustavo Diaz. However, in an email to The Rappahannock News, Sunnyside owner David Cole referred to a shift in “attention to our Maui operations,” a reference to Maui Land & Pineapple, of which Cole is the CEO. “This year we shipped nearly all of our remaining Virginia cattle and have dropped several leases that we have maintained in the county over the years. This resulted in the elimination of three jobs,” wrote Cole. According to consultant Tamara Waldo, a former general manager of Sunnyside Farms, the company decided to move out of the beef business in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Consequences “We are working on streamlining what we are looking to do with the farm,” explained Gustavo Diaz, recently promoted to General Manager at Sunnyside. “Right now we’ve canceled all our leases that had to do with cattle production.” Pat Saltonstall, who leases graze-lands to Sunnyside, said the company has not been up front about their plans with their leaseholders. “I have a contract [to lease Sunny side the land] with Sunnyside until 2008,” said Saltonstall, “but there are no cattle out there now.” Along with Saltonstall, two other Rappahannock property owners have also been affected by the dropped leases, but their land was used by Sunnyside only for hay production. According to Saltonstall, Sunnyside’s only communication with her about plans to drop her lease was an “ambiguous letter” that did not mention any plans to compensate Saltonstall for the two years remaining on their lease. “They haven’t given me any time,” she complained. According to Saltonstall, time could be a serious factor in her ability to rent the land to other cattle operations if Sunnyside does drop their lease. “There are a 1,000 little things you have to do to the land to prepare it,” explained Saltonstall. The future Sunnyside’s shift away from Kobe could also hurt Rappahannock’s draw for tourists. Sunnyside’s Kobe burgers were consistently lauded in Washington area food columns and even sold by large retail chains outside the county.

Who gets the biggest piece? The biggest slice (72 percent) of the school budget is made up of salaries and benefits for teachers, principals and other administrators - other than the ; Superintendent - as well as guidance, library books, •, expenses for teacher conferences, equipment and other expenses grouped under “classroom instruction*. This big bite amounts to nearly $8.5 million. .„r Seven percent of the budget is to run the school v * buses and pay the drivers. Another slice of the same size (7%) is headed “Operation and Maintenance" and pays for keeping the buildings clean, the heat on, and the lawns nicely trimmed. A six and a half (6.5%) slice goes to pay interest and principle on the school bonds. The dollar figure is more than three-quarters of a million. The tiny slice of just seven-tenths of one percent (.7%) is under the heading of “food service*. Superintendent Chappell explained that the food bill is much larger, but the money to pay for it comes from state and federal funds, and does not show up. in the county's proposed school budget The percentage figures are guides. Actual dollar bottom line figures may change slightly during the ’ review process. A public hearing on the Rappahannock County Public School proposed budget is slated for April 24 at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Budget From Page A1 the bottom of the totem pole.” The supervisors have weeks to study the 40-page budget document before holding a public hearing on the spending plan in late April. Then, at their next regularly scheduled meeting, on May 1st, the supervisors will vote on the school budget. Will they cut the budget? According to Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell, the cutting has already been done. “The board has already cut $237,000 from this budget”, he said, adding “we’ve made our cuts up front...a huge amount of cutting.” The proposal may include increases for teachers of more than 3 percent, but it plans a boost for the superintendent of less than 1 percent—to an annual salary of $105,000. (The five School Board members are given token stipends that, each month, would barely cover a fancy lunch—$49 and change.) Among the lowest paid at starting salary, are teacher’s aides .and licensed practical nurses, at just over $14,000; janitors start at $15,813. FAST SALE NEEDED?

Supervisors remember Estes By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors met on April 3 with a somber atmosphere and a large audience, both due to the absence of Piedmont District Supervisor and BOS Chairman Charles K. “Pete” Estes, who passed away at the age of 71 on April 1. Prior to the meeting, members of the public were told that the public comments phase of April’s BOS meeting would be devoted to remembrance of Estes, and many citizens attended the meeting to participate. “It is with sadness that I call this meeting to order,” began Vice-Chairman Robert Anderson. Estes’customary seat at the head of the table remained empty for the meeting, with the exception of a wooden box containing an American flag that had flown at the' Rappahannock County Courthouse, later presented to Betty Anne Lillard Estes, his widow. Members of the public who spoke at the meeting included Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke , who read from the minutes of Estes’ first BOS meeting in 1981, and Washington Mayor Eugene Leggett, along with almost 20 others. “His council was always given with concern for the com mon good. Pete leaves those big shoes and a long shadow”, said a tearful Bob Lander, president of the Scrabble School Foundation.” “I think we’ll always run pretty much in his ruts,” said Vice Chairman Anderson. Beverly Hunter, head of RAPPFLOW, told of Estes’ participation in the first RAPPFLOW meeting. “It was as if he walked in the Thornton River day in and day out for sixty years. He had story after story to tell,” remembered Hunter. At their evening session, the BOS voted unanimously to approve and publish in The Rappahannock News a resolution recognizing Estes’ service to Rappahannock county. Also in the evening session, the BOS voted Robert Anderson as the Chairman for the remainder of 2006, and Jackson District Supervisor Ron Frazier to replace Anderson as ViceChairman. The vacant Piedmont District Supervisor seat will be filled by a candidate appointed by the BOS. Pros2__i Manage Powdery Mildew by Rotating Grape Fungicides Powdery mildew has reportedly developed resistance to strobilurin and sterol inhibitor fungicides, meaning it’s important to rotate fungicides for best control. Initiating a preventive program using Dithane' DF Rainshield’, Nova' 40W and Quintec* fungicides is a good start. Quintet is the newest resistance management tool tor the control of powdery mildew. Quinoxyfen, the active ingredient in Quintec, has the ability to redistribute across expanding leaf and berry tissues and reach hanlto-cover areas for superior bunch and leaf protection. Wherever possible, and especially on wine grapes, sulfur should be tank-mixed with Quintec and other powdery mildew fungicides as an additional resistance management practice. Nova remains a leading fungicide for control of powdery mildew and black rot. It’s absorbed into the plant and kills die fungus early in the infection pnxess. before symptoms appear. 1 )ithane kills fungus spores as they germinate. Apply Dithane to processing grape’s until the bkxini stage and through late season on vs'ine grapes for control of downy mildew. Phomopsis and Hack rot. Dithane is a great tank-mix partner with powdery mildew fungicides like Qyintec for full-spectrum disease control in.grapes. Early in the season, tank-mix Dithane with alternate applications of Nova and Quintec' fungicides. Use Nova and Quintec during the summer for improved late-season disease control of powdery mildew.

Tax relief for the elderly At their evening session, the BOS voted in unanimous approval of an ordinance designed to relieve the tax burden of elderly land owners with low incomes. Rappahannock’s skyrocketing real-estate values can represent a serious problem for retirees who aren’t generating the income to keep up with the ever increasing taxes on land they may have owned for years. The new ordinance will exclude hum calculation of net combined financial worth up to five acres of land for Rappahannock County residents over age 65 whose net worth doesn’t exceed $150,000. An earlier version of the ordinance already existed, but only excluded one acre for residents worth up to $100,000. According to County Administrator John McCarthy, the ordnance has always been underutilized due to a lack of awareness in Rappahannock County. “Getting the word out is the thing,” said McCarthy. Budget concerns At the BOS April session, County Administrator John McCarthy revealed that his ini tial draft of the Rappahannock County 2007-2008 budget may be delayed by several weeks awaiting developments in the Virginia General Assembly. The delay is due to a probable rate hike for Virginia Retirement SystemsCVRS), which provides retirement benefits for Virginia public employees. “The rates are scheduled to go up considerably,” said McCarthy, referring to current draft legislation under consideration in the General Assembly. Other factors affecting the forthcoming budget include a 21 percent increase in health insurance costs for comity employees, funding concerns for the proposed regional jail, and the forthcoming construction of new county offices on Bank Road. The road itself was entered into Virginia’s system of secondaiy roads on Monday, and will be henceforth maintained by VDOT. DEQ permit Several months ago, acting on a request from the then newly formed group The Friends of the Rush River, the BOS hired a consultant to examine Washington’s application to DEQ for a draft permit to discharge into the Rush River. “The treatment levels proposed are sufficient to protect the publicsaid McCarthy, summarizing the consultant’s report. However, the consultants did indicate that Washington’s proposed plant will likely have to apply for further permits regarding the levels of metals within a few years.

With Apple Hill moving to its new location, folks were wondering what would go in next. Word on the street is that owner Andy Thompson at Thornton River Grille is planning pizza soon with snazzy artwork gracing the walls and a beautiful interior. We look forward to the unveiling soon and to try some of that oven-baked pizza in Sperryville. Police Briefs liileven bikes pulled over on US 211 Spring isn’t just for soccer fans and frolicking deer in Rappahannock County. Every Spring in Rappahannock County brings a new crop of motorcyclists along with the sunshine, eager to test their skill on the winding turns of US-211. However, since March, the Virginia State Police have again begun their increased patrols of the roads bikers favor. On Sunday, April 2, this increased police presence was vindicated when Sergeant Frank Ingham and Trooper Chris Roop managed to pull over an entire convoy of eleven motorcyclists at once on US-211. According to Ingham, all but one of the bikes in the group was violating the law, and were issued summons. Most of the violations were equipment related, but six of the motorcyclists “crossed the double line” in full view of the pursuing Ingham. In addition, two of the bikers were arrested, one for driving on a suspended license and one for an improperly registered motorcycle. In order to pull all eleven over at once, the troopers had to divide the convoy up into a group of five and a group of six. “They need to know we’re going to be out there every weekend,” said Ingham. SUNNYSIDE From Page A1 has a building named after it, called The Burger Barn, at Sunnyside’s Sperryville Schoolhouse location. According to Tamara Waldo, there are no plans to change the name of the Burger Barn, which is currently seeking alternatives to Kobe, such as locally produced certified organic Angus beef. Responding to the rumors of the company’s impending exit from Rappahannock, Diaz countered with examples of Sunnyside’s plans for the future. “We have a lot of ponds on the property, and we’re going to see if it’s feasible to grow fish at the farm,” said Diaz, who also mentioned plans to produce organic sorbet and increase internship opportunities. Owner David Cole also maintains that Sunnyside is planning to continue operations in Rappahannock. “Although the bulk of our sustainable [agriculture] investments shifted out of the county several years ago, Sunnyside continues to operate several programs,” wrote Cole.

As was fitting a venerable figure in the county, his funeral was well attended and the accolades he received spoke to not only the man who has served this county tirelessly but to the husband and father who loved his family beyond reproach. There are many in this county that remember Pete Estes as an adventuresome young boy, as a patriotic young man who entered the service and as a focused citizen who devoted himself to community service. There are many in this county who got to know Pete when he was sheriff or when he volunteered at the fire station or his church or turned up at the • school when his children were younger. There are many that only recently were introduced to this lifelong servant of Rappahannock County and in that brief acquaintance knew that this man has • made a huge difference in the lives of the people here. His legacy is the land - these rolling green hills unspoiled by development. His vision and uncompromising commitment to hold fast to the sanctuary that this countv affords was a hallmark of his chairmanship on the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. The partnership between a united citizenry and a board of elected officials that have been on the same page is in large part due to Pete Estes and his love for the county where he was born and raised. Estes was a teacher. His classroom was the community and everyone who came in contact with him learned something - either about what makes good apple cider or ^ Sperryville history or about themselves and their rhythm with the world around them. Estes was known to be unflinching in his beliefs, stubborn, proud and a man of great integrity and forthrightness. Estes had a keen wit and a great sense of humor. Pete Estes will be missed. His loss will be felt by not only his family but by the greater community that he served. He leaves in body but not in spirit. Forced to let him go, the legacy of Charles K. “Pete” Estes will live on in all that he has put in place for his family and for the citizens of Rappahannock County to follow. Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; 'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. Commending Washington I understand that the potential need for a town sewage treatment system was initially identified 25 years ago. The severity of the problem has become more and more evident with each day's passing. We now have an environmental/health issue here in the Tbwn of Washington that the Town Council has had to take steps to address. I commend them and their efforts to defuse the failing-septic-field time bomb t hat is under this town f and at ground level in some places), a problem that is and will continue to affect everyone in the county - along the Rush River and otherwise - if left unresolved. Without the strong-minded environmentalists on the Town Council, the septic problems could and would make town and county residents sick, as those who now cannot use their own yards because of raw sewage can already attest. We as a town have an obligation, not only to ourselves but to the county, to correct this failing. The establishment of a waste water treatment plant, and the elimination of reliance on failed, failing or to fail drainage fields, will help to guarantee a healthy future for both town and county. We need to support the efforts of the Town Council as it tries to improve (not pollute) both the town and the Rush River. Kevin Adams Washington The Town of Washington presented a unified front at the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality hearing last week. The efforts of Mayor Gene Leggett and the Town Council to gain approval for the. proposed sewage treatment plant are impressive. Certainly the town has every i fyltypl Vet, UW)0Ol»Kl»M^HttU0»e Letters PEC wants stronger permit In the March 30 article entitled The Rappahannock News described the Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) as an opponent of Washington’s plans for discharging into the Rush River. I am concerned that my remarks at the Department of Environmental Quality’s (DEQ) hearing were misrepresented. Our comments focused solely on the permit itself and not the sewage/septic field issue within the Town of Washington. This was a DEQ hearing to take comments on the specifics of the permit. Therefore, I spoke about the need to strengthen the permit to a level that would be protective of the river and questioned certain assumptions that were made when modeling the proposed plant. The majority of my comments were focused on the use of nutrient offsets in the permit. PEC believes the use of offsets cSuld lead to detrimental impacts to Virginia waters. While offsets may help improve the Chesapeake Bay, they could lead to an unacceptable level of pollution in the Rush. We believe Virginia should not adopt a policy of allowing offsets. A high level of treatment at all new plants would provide the same benefit to the Bay without the need to place large numbers of streams in jeopardy. All other comments made were in relation to the level of technology that would be required at the plant, modeling procedures used by DEQ to evaluate the impacts and future monitoring that would be required at the point of discharge. PEC does not deny that a situation exists for the Ibwn itself, nor do we think the Tbwn should ignore it. Some solution must be reached if the health and wel fare of the Town's citizens and tourists is to be protected. We are merely trying to ensure that the solution does not lead to additional problems for the locality or larger policy issues for Virginia. This is a delicate situation for all involved (Town, County, riparian landowners, etc.). But there is no need to accept a less than adequate permit if a discharge to the Rush is the final solution. Dan Holmes Special Projects Coordinator Piedmont Environmental Council Proud to be a citizen in Rappahannock On Tuesday night something incredible happened in the high school auditorium. In a packed house of passionate citizens, some for and some against one of the most serious issues to face our county,a powerful energy was created. For over four and a half hours, neighbors .friends, citizens and guests were able to treat each other with respect while listening and sharing and learning. In the not too distant past something this critical would have split the county .causing friends and even relatives to quit speaking for years. It is a testimony to the maturity of our citizens that the public hearing was something to be proud of. I know that tomorrow I could call Paul Farmer and discuss the issues in a polite conversation. I know that tomorrow I could go to the post office and be greeted cordially by Elizabeth Haskell. This is a wonderful way to live .Early in the evening during the hearing, our SWCB representative,Komal Jain, told me she was amazed and impressed with the thoughtfulness and obvious amount of effort put into the presentations given by everyone that night. I am proud to be part of this process and "proud of my fellow citizens. Claudia Mitchell Washington Are we all environmentalists? Let’s review the discussion of the Town of Washington’s proposed plan to discharge highly treated effluent into the Rush River. Fact 1: the Rush River receives the run off from the Town of Washington’s failed and failing drain fields both on and below the surface, not a good place for children to play. Fact 2: The Rush River is “impaired” (polluted) upstream from the proposed discharge point for the system. The wastewater from the Town will be treated at the new wastewater treatment plant to produce high quality effluent. We are proposing effluent standards in excess of the State’s requirements. The standards are based on the Best Technology Available. In fact, the treated effluent will have a higher degree of purity than does the Rush River upstream of the proposed discharge. Fact 3: At the treatment plant the sewage will be separated into water and residual solids. The treated water will be tested daily and will go into the Rush at a higher state of purification than the water presently in the river. The remaining solids will be biodegraded and shipped to disposal plants outside the county. Fact 4: Net environmental effect: Fact 1 will be eliminated. Fact 2 will reduce contamination levels in the river, particularly during periods of low flow when the discharged water will continue to flow and support river life. Fact 5: All drain fields fail. The Town of Washington has elected to eliminate that problem by choosing the most enduring disposal system available. Fact 6: The Tbwn will commit the financial resources for the system in order to improve the quality of life on the river and in the Town. Current cost estimates include the extra half a million dollars needed to raise the purity from currently acceptable levels to the “Limits of Technology”. The Town believes the above facts to be true and urges the community to support their efforts to improve the environment. Gene Leggett Mayor Town of Washington One perspective The joint DEQ and SWCB hearing in reference to the waste water disposal system for the Town of Washington on Tuesday night was a dispiriting eye opener if nothing else. I attended this hearing as a county resident and former 18-year resident of the Town of Washington, a former Town Council Member and Town Treasurer and a 5-year member of the Town Waste Water Committee. It was in the capacity of the latter that I intended to speak in favor of approval of the DEQ application being offered. Never in my wildest dream did I anticipate sitting there listening to a plethora of Rappahannock County residents singing the same tune, be it in varying accents: N.I.M.B.Y. — not in my backyard - citing the same old vague or baseless “facts”. The very concise and eloquent presentations and evidence of exhaustive studies by the town’s as well as the DEQ’s representatives to the contrary. If any thought was given, at all, to the impending real plight of the town residents it was verbalized by “just fix that pipe” and a dismissive waive of the hand. Though obviously concerned about their own property values, nary a person showed any concern about their neighbor’s property values in the town or indeed the very future of our county seat. We are in a unique position here in Rappahannock, in that we have the example of the Sperryville Plant as a means of actually seeing the results of such an installation. We have the Thornton River that now sports a trout farm amidst a thriving community that suffered none of the impacts the doom sayers predicted. There were no “Developers” riding their front-loaders into town and there is no need to give a second thought to odor, not even by the nearest neighbors. I want to commend and applaud Mayor Leggett and the Town Council for properly discharging their responsibilities in their perseverance and foresight by planning for the future, one that is much nearer than is thought by many who were oblivious to how long this has been in the research and planning stages. I sincerely hope that the DEQ and the SWCB will see this application through to the final approval of the project. Louise van Dort Woodville Effluent is not raindrops from heaven right to seek a communal solution to their problem of failing septic systems. The treatment plant per se is not at issue. What is at issue is the proposal to dump the effluent from such a treatment plant, up to 60,000 gallons per day, into the Rush River. This effluent will not be raindrops from heaven. It will not be a product of a man-made structure that will contain treatment chemicals, harmful bacteria and a host of other elements, only some of which will be monitored It will change forever the Rush River eco-system and create a hostile environment for sensitive aquatic life. In the words of the DEQ, the permit that the town is seeking for this plan is a “permit to pollute”. To claim otherwise is an insult to those of us who live downstream. It is for this reason that many of us have expressed our concern, and well over 200 county residents have signed a petition opposing the plan. Once again by copy of this letter we are respectfully requesting that the State Water Control Board deny the permit. Ewen M. Wilson Washington See More Letters, Page A5 * <

Town, riparian land owners should work together As Rappahannock homeowners of twenty years, and having just moved from Flint Hill to Washington, we have taken a keen interest in the long and lively debate over the proposed sewage treatment plant and its proposed discharge into the Rush River. Those on both sides of this issue rightly consider them selves to be pro-environment and friends of the Rush as well as other Rappahannock tributaries. What we find curious— and difficult to understand—is why opponents of the new plant have not been “demanding” the town to clean up its current waste water “system” of failed (and failing) septic fields. In effect, the town has been polluting the Rush River and the Big Branch with untreated sewage for years. This problem has been recognized not just by town residents, but also by the Tbwn Council, the Board of Supervisors, the Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Health. And, following the recent Fauquier’s Brumfield principal named director of new governor’s school Rosanne Williamson, principal of Brumfield Elementary School, has been named director of Mountain Vista Governor’s School, the commonwealth’s newest academic-year governor’s school. Mountain Vista will serve students in the school divisions of Fauquier, Culpeper, Rappahannock, Warren, Frederick, Clarke and Winchester City. Williamson will assume directorship on July 1; the school, located at Lord Fairfax Community College (Fauquier campus and Middletown campus), is scheduled to open in August 2006. She is excited about her new role as governor’s school director, she said. “Though I am sad to leave Brumfield’s wonderful students and teachers, the prospect of beginning a new regional governor’s school is an exciting opportunity. I believe this unique school will meet the needs of gifted high school students in our area, providing them with opportunities and experiences to grow into tomorrow’s leaders,” Williamson said. The new governor’s school has been almost three years in the making, beginning with a July 2003 meeting of representatives from eight school divisions and Lord Fairfax Community College who discussed the possibility of an Academic-Year Governor’s School for the northwestern region of the state. Interest in the school was unanimous, a planning committee was appointed to guide the process, and in January 2006 the General Assembly approved Mt. Vista Governor’s School. The application-based student selection process is now underway. Plans call for students from the seven participating school divisions to attend the governor’s school during morning hours (7:30-11 a.m.) and to return to their base schools for afternoon classes.

The critical question, of course, is what to do with the treated sewage. The Tbwn, with the help of professionals, has failed to find a durable, long-lasting alternative distributing it over adjacent land. If this were viable, the Tbwn would quickly endorse it and avoid the cur rent confrontation with landowners along the Rush. So, we are left with the question as to whether discharge from the treatment facility will make the Rush cleaner or dirtier. The DEQ says cleaner. Outside professional consultants say cleaner. A cleaner Thornton River following the introduction of such a plant in Sperryville suggests cleaner. Our suggestion is that the Town Council and the land owners along the Rush and Big Branch work together—not against each other—to make certain that the new facility reflects state- of-the art technology and exceeds the most rigorous standards of DEQ. Our goal should be to have a system which serves as a model for other communities in Virginia. Beverly and John Fox Sullivan Washington RESOLUTION: Charles K.

School News from Around the County Hearthstone School The 9th and 10th grade biology class is currently studying ecology. They are focusing on some of the ecological problems we face today, and some possible solutions, as well as different Spes of ecosystems, the factors at affect them and the interaction of different species. They took a field trip to the Luray Reptile Zoo, where they learned about poisonous snakes and other reptiles, many of which are endangered species, and their importance to the planet and our own survival. The high school math classes are currently studying rational expressions, roots and radicals, direct and indirect variation and trigonometry. They will also be working on a math project that will directly incorporate some of the concepts they are learning. Hearthstone School would like to congratulate Dylan Weber, a former high school student at Hearthstone, who was recently awarded a full fouryear scholarship to the University of Richmond. Dylan was also the president of his class and five student clubs, and at the top of his graduating class at Front Royal High School. Wakefield Country Day School Video produced oh Africa Mark Sasse, Wakefield’s seventh grade geography and technology teacher, has been working closely with his students for the past several months, helping them to deepen their knowledge of the countries that encompass the African continent while also teaching them how to create movies. The students’ efforts culminated in a special presentation of their short film entitled, Africa. Each member of the class did extensive research, produced posters and also went to the Smithsonian’s Museum of African Art, weaving all the different pieces of information they had gathered into an informative and colorful piece . Three to competition WCDS students in fourth through eighth grade recently participated in the Reader’s Digest National Word Power Challenge, and three of the class winners were invited to participate in the State Challenge. The grade level winners were: Sam Nolan (4th), Henry Johnson (5th), Kaitlin Burgess (6th), Bret Heddleston 7th, and Andrew Smith (8th). Ms. Burgess of Front Royal, Mr. Heddleston of Sperryville, and Mr. Smith of Washington competed last week at the State Challenge for students in grades six through eight, and Mr. Heddleston made it all the way to the final 10 (out of 100 statewide competitors) before being eliminated. WCDS students have a track record of excellence in writing, vocabulary, grammar, and spelling, and having three students from such a small school score high enough to be eligible for the state level competition helped bolster that reputation.

Headwaters’ Mini-grant Provides Palm Pilots for a Third Grade Class Tfechnology Resource Tfeacher Amy Gubler and Third Grade Teacher Shelley Shankle applied for a Headwaters Foundation Mini-grant for use in Ms. Shankle’s 3rd Grade class. The grant was approved enabling them to purchase nine Palm Pilots (PDAs) and .keyboards. Currently they are using them for writing class, reading, spelling and math. They have been able to load Inspiration Software and some free-ware programs to help support Third grade writing, reading and math. “I can use my Palm, connected to the tree-cart for an overhead demonstration while the children use their Palms to do what I am doing,” said Shankle. The children have learned to enter vocabulary words, create webs, and analogies. They can beam the information to each other to check and see if they have similar ideas. They can write stories and reports. The children can also tell their stories and writing assignments to the voice memo and later they can play these back and type them using the keyboards. “The greatest sense of accomplishment that I have seen with the Palm Pilots is when a child who had previously struggled with language arts class was able to type a short report and the result was one of the best in the class,” added Shankle. “We would love to have many more PDA’s to allow students to use them for homework assignments,” continued Shankle who added that The RCPS proposed budget for 2006-2007 includes more Palm Pilots for 3rd Grade. “I even can imagine the day when all tests can be taken using a PDA and Scantron software. Test results will be beamed to the teacher’s palm and entered into the grade book. We’re just beginning,” concluded Shankle. Mtirnmmmmrn mrnim Social Security Disability Claims • Disabled?

Photo by Ann Spieker CAUGHT: Catcher Jacob Dodson stood his ground as the Luray batter attempted to find home. Panthers pitching for a better season By CHRIS KRAPF Special to the Rappahannock News For the second straight game, Rappahannock County High School’s varsity baseball team received an outstanding pitching performance from senior left-hander Jason Jenkins. Unfortunately, the Panthers wasted Jenkins’ effort. George Mason scored three unearned runs in the fifth inning and added another in the seventh in defeating the host Panthers, 4-0, Tuesday afternoon. “What’s disappointing is that I think we’re a better team than last year, but we’re 1-4,” Rappahannock County head tuani ucii ucuiuiia aaiu. This time, Jeff Jenkins added, a year ago, Rappahannock sported a 4-1 record. Tuesday’s loss to Group A Bull Run District rival George Mason came after Jason Jenkins struck out 14 in Rappahannock’s 6-0 win over Luray Thursday. The George Mason-Rappahannock game featured one of the district’s top pitching duels with Jenkins and Tbdd Mendenhall. Jenkins scattered four, hits and fanned 11. Mendenhall allowed just two hits. “I always give credit when you hit the ball, but it was mental and playing errors today (that led to George Mason’s win),” Jeff Jenkins said. The game was scoreless until the top of the fifth when a single, a hit batsman, a walk and three errors led to George Mason’s three unearned runs. Two errors triggered a fourth George Mason run in the top of the seventh. Alex Sharp belted a two-run home run and Jason Jenkins added a pair of hits and an RBI in the win over Luray. What made Jeff Jenkins most pleased was the offensive effort that Rappahannock displayed. The Panthers scattered seven hits. Karl Thornhill, Travis Jenkins, Chase Tupper and Nathan Hartshorn also had base hits. Scholarships The Rappahannock County Garden Club will once again offer the Francis J. Leonard Memorial Scholarship grant to a senior in Rappahannock County for the purpose of continuing his or her education. A grant of $1,500 will be awarded to a student enrolling in a four-year college or university. The Rappahannock County Garden Club will also offer a $1,000 scholarship grant in memory of Mrs. Mary P. Marocchi. This grant is being offered to a senior in Rappahannock County who is selecting a career in nursing or some other area of medicine. In order to receive these scholarships, applicants must be residents of Rappahannock County, members of this years’ graduating class (home schooled or other schools), be accepted at an accredited four-year college or university, have a need for financial assistance and be recommended by two non-related residents of Rappahannock County. Applications for the scholarships are available at the guidance department of the Rappahannock County High School and Wake field Country Day School or from Mrs. Mary Priest at 937-4072. The deadline for returning the applications to the guidance department of the Rappahannock County High School and Wake field Country Day School is May 15. ^ Owls take Panthers in girls varsity soccer match By Kiaya Abernathy Special to the Rappahannock News The Wakefield Country Day School Owls kept the Rappahannock Panthers scoreless last Thursday when the girls varsity soccer team won their match, 2-0. Abby Whitaker scored first for Wakefield. The Owls tried to bring the ball up field again but Rappahannock’s Lisa Maloney provided good defense and no further goals were seen in the first half ending at 1-0 for Wakefield. Second half action started with Alana Cloud going aggressively after the gall for the Panthers. With a flurry of cleats, both teams tried to win the ball. Several Owl players broke free of the bunch and headed down field only to be turned back by Rappahannock midfielder Kim Hutcheson. Wakefield’s Katherine Russo got the ball back for the Owls, lending an assist to Taylor Hammelman who put in the second and winning goal for Wakefield. Both teams played well and strong defensive play was seen from Rappahannock midfielders Hannah Rosenbaum and Osha Kondori. FINDING NET: Wakefield Country Day School player Abby Whitaker scored the Owl’s first goal in their game against the Rappahannock County Panthers last Thursday.

Luke and Estes formed a gaming relationship over “points of fact” and the two men delighted in out doing one another but Luke rarely, if ever, could. “Oh, you mean that bear that took that guy’s arm off and the case went to...,” recanted Estes as if he’d just read it in a headline. “Hard to top Pete Estes.” Attorney Bill Fletcher told the audience that he had “slipped into a space of sadness” over the passing of Pete Estes.

He served ten years as County Sheriff as well as serving on the Board of Zoning Appeals, Planning Commission and the Water arid Sewer authority. Estes served as Chairman of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors for over 25 years and during that time kept a tight fist on development with strict zoning ordinances. As family members, friends and associates respectfully filed out of the church and processed to the cemetery, long time resident Lucy Kilby reflected. “He kept this county the way it is...free from development like some other counties.

Zimbabwe visitors Tim and Tom deSchwartz from Harare, Zimbabwe, visited Rappahannock this past weekend to hear the New York Philharmonic Chamber Ensemble presented by the Chateauville Foundation at the Lorin and Dietlinde Maazel concert hall in Castleton, and visit their sponsors Hal and Bev Hunter of Amissville. Tim and Tom, sophomores at Columbia University in New York City, are regular listeners at the New York Philharmonic, so it was a special treat to meet some of the musicians from that orchestra here in our rural Rappahannock setting. Pictured from left to right are: Tom de Swardt, Hal Hunter, Tim de Swardt. Photo courtesy of Bev Hunter GOLD CUP REDUX? Racegoers at Saturday's Old Dominion Hounds Point-to-Point at Ben Venue could get a pre-season glimpse at last year's Virginia Gold Cup winner Miles Ahead, left, and runner-up Chinese Whisper as the Kinross Farm duo are slated to square off in the featured Leeds Don open timber. $2,000 purse added to Leeds Don at Old Dominion meet The organizers of the Old Dominion Hounds Point-toPoint prayed for rain. But — just in case the petitions fell on deaf ears — they let money talk. Tb bolster their chances of attracting America’s best timber horses, Old Dominion race officials tacked on a new $2,000 purse to lure horsemen to enter Saturday’s three-mile feature. And it worked. A full half-inch of rain fell Monday night, softening the Ben Venue Farm course somewhat, with more rain predicted later in the week. In a year of near-drought conditions that have plagued the spring point-to-point season in Virginia, ODH added the purse to guarantee a good show for the near sellout crowd at the April 8 event. Old Dominion’s featured Leeds Don open timber often attracts horses headed to the rich National Steeplechase Association sanctioned Maiyland timber races and the Virginia Gold Cup. Early entries promise a competitive ‘chase: Gold Cup winners Chinese Whisper, Lord Kenneth and Miles Ahead, from the Kinross Farm, square off with a trio from the championship stable of Sanna Neilson in Pennsylvania. Seventeen horses are entered. Saturday’s undercard includes a junior field masters’ chase; novice rider and Virginia-bred flat races; amateur, maiden and open races over hurdles; and ladies and owner-riders over timber, in addition to the Leeds Don. Kaces begin at 12:dU p.m. at the Ben Venue Farm course in Ben Venue, about 16 miles west of Warrenton on U.S. Route 211 in Rappahannock County. The bowl-shaped course is widely considered one of the top spectator venues on the Virginia circuit. Elevated parking spaces and general admission seating on the hillside overlook the finish line, with a clear view of all jumps on both the hurdle and timber courses. Old Dominion hosts a hunter pace, also at Ben Venue Farm, on Sunday over an allnew course. Divisions are for fast time, juniors, optimum time and hilltoppers. Complete entries can be viewed online at www.morvenpark.org/ceo. Old Dominion has a new Web site of its own which includes race information along with hunt trail ride details and other information.

Yahya volunteers with others to alert the world to the abuses unfolding in Western Sudan, focusing much of his time and energy speaking at rallies and conferences across the country. The conflict in Darfur began when the National Islamic Party took control of the government by “Coup” in 1989, and allied with Arab militia raiders, known as “janjaweed”, cleared civilians from areas considered disloyal to the Sudanese government. After years of conflict, today Darfur is acknowledged to be a humanitarian and human rights tragedy of the first order. The situation is rapidly deteriorating: atrocities continue, people are dying in large numbers from malnutrition and disease, and a new famine is feared. According to reports by the World Food Program, the United Nations and the Coalition for International Justice, 3.5 million people are now hungry, 2.5 million have been displaced due to violence, and 400,000 people have died in Darfur so far. The international community is failing to protect civilians or to influence the Sudanese government to do so. Thus, The Damanga Coalition (DFCD) was formed to promote the human rights of the people of Darfur, Sudan and elsewhere in the world. Explained Yahya, “DFCD was the first group to reach out to the international community about the genocide in western Sudan and has been demanding a cessation of violence and genocide for more than 10 years. We educate civilians about their rights to freedom, equality and participation in government. We seek to aid the disempowered, including the victims of the Darfur conflict, so they can work for the preservation of their communities.” What does the word ‘damanga’ mean? The ‘damanga’ is a large, built-to-last, hand-made vessel used by Sudanese farmers to store crops, lifesaving rations in the event of famine or emergencies, and other valuables. A hut is usually built over the damanga to protect the vessel and its contents from the torrents of water during the rainy season. This unique aspect of Sudanese farmers’ daily life gave birth to the Arabic adage “al-donya Damanka derdogo Beshaish” - the world is like a Damanga, roll it carefully—which means that life is precious and the world filled with danger and risk, so be careful and take it easy or it could be destroyed, (like a fragile damanga that will break if rolled hastily). Yahya was bom in a small village in Eastern Algeneina, the capital of Darmassaleit. As a child and an adult, he experienced the brutal racism that permeates Sudanese society. He was beaten by his Arab teachers, along with other black students, for speaking his tribal language instead of Arabic. While living in Khartoum he witnessed the practice of kacha, in which black men are forced into cars by Sudanese police and army officers. The men are then sent to prison, made to work as servants, or taken back to their villages. In 1993 Yahya’s village in western Sudan witnessed the first attacks of the Arab militia raiders. Yahya’s village was completely decimated and most of his relatives, along with other villagers, were killed, raped, or burned alive in their huts. Although Yahya was studying at the Al-Azhar University of Cairo at the time his village was destroyed, he received word from his parents of their safety. It was at this moment that Yahya realized action needed to be taken to save the black African Sudanese from annihilation at the hands of the Arab militias and Sudanese regime. In the passionate words of Yahya, “let the people of Darfur be protected, safe and free, so as to live like other human beings in peace and dignity.” Please join the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community in welcoming Mohamed Adam Yahya at 8 p.m. on April 14, as part of the Second Friday at the Library series sponsored by RAAC. Admission is free. For information visit www.raac.org. Steven Kenny’s ‘Flying Lessons’ is a must see By Joy Lorien Special to the Rappahannock News “There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom. If one could but recall his vision by some sort of sign. It was in this hope that the arts were invented. Sign-posts on the way to what may be. Sign-posts toward greater knowledge. ” Robert Henri In that same spirit of Henri, Steven Kenny’s Art Show at the Middle Street Gallery, ‘Flying Lessons’, reflect those very sign-posts of a souls intimate relationship with nature and the gifts she bestows. Living almost 10 years in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia has brought this artist a wealth of treasures and a laboratory to ply his art. His paintings have been defined as surreal yet for nature lovers, a deep realism exists. One cannot but help connect laying upon a mossy floor in the woods with toadstools and a small owl in “Earthbom”, or standing among waterfalls as in “Water Shawl” and hiving with the Queen in the “Beelady”. “My paintings serve as a reminder to myself, and perhaps to others, that all life on Earth is but a single organism,” said Kenny of his work. In ‘Flying Lessons”’and his previous show ‘Soul Flight’ are the result of many distillations within nature where birds began to appear as expressions of spirit and his own childhood memories surfaced as he researched their imagery. How provoking does one look upon the ‘Exchange’ and see the deep wisdom as a bird flies to an open hand, is tenderly regarded and then let loose. How powerful does ‘Phoenix’ bring despondency up into the higher ethers and what a travesty for man and hummingbirds to be chained to a false freedom in ‘Gibbet’. In these renderings Kenny seeks to pull from the wisdom of religions, psychology, mythology and other artists. He sets about piecing the picture together he wants to draw and is seeking to trust the experience that some may not understand. He is opening himself more to trusting and intuition. And then there is Kenny’s most recent work, “The Flame’. Henri said, “The real artist’s work is a surprise unto himself,” for in this picture is an image of the art of the old masters. It is their making white, their sublimation, their resurrection because the white rises out of the dark earth and through the red fire becomes purified into an incorruptible body. The color of this extraordinary picture can only be appreciated on sight and indeed an inner rendering of my own heart came forth as I saw it This show is a must and I am so excited to Photo by Joy Lonen what is in store for Steven Kenny as he shares the sign-posts of his most intimate walk with nature, soul and spirit. He has indeed laid the groundwork for attracting an influx of grace from beyond. Wings are formed only when two currents- that of human endeavor and that of grace meet and unite. Kenny has endeavored to show us the signposts and the grace that is to descend upon him will indeed be a delight to see as he continues his art. “To create in the abstract, to create in the souls of men, vivifying reflections of the mystery—this is the great ivork."

You can see it if you look closely, it’s rust brown against the white of each individual blossom. Many of us carry crosses, faint like the dogwood’s emblem, but with us, nevertheless. Somehow, in the Lenten season, we become particularly conscious of them and of our need for help... a certain kind of help that can only be found through the things we learn in God's House. The Church doesn't pretend to banish our cares and woes, but its’ teachings realistically consider the experiences of life itself. No matter what our personal cross may be, worship seems to enable us to bear life’s burdens with more strength. Lent is a wonderful time in which to begin making church a regular part of your life - if you haven’t already.

I miss you, Dad, as muck today as I did when you went away. Bessie Grigsby Inspiring; lUmngfitA by Randy Minter END-OF-LIFE DECISIONS When asked, most Americans say they would prefer to die at home in the company of family and friends. This preference, together with fears about suffering in pain, losing control, being a burden to others, and being abandoned, has led many to consider hospice care. This approach is appropriate when a cure is no longer possible. Hospice care enables patients to maintain a good quality of life in their last days, and to die with dignity. By managing symptoms, hospice workers help the dying to be alert and comfortable while living out the remainder of their lives in familiar surroundings. Hospice care coordinates the medical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of dying for those in their last days and their families. Hospice care is a boon to many, offering the possibility of staying home when one has a terminal illness. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we are aware of all kinds of resources in this area that might be of help to you when you have a loved one who is dying. We’re at 233 Broadview Ave, Warrenton, VA. Call 347-3431 to set up an appointment.
