By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Janie Phillips of Chester Gap was crowned “Mrs. Virginia USA” this past . weekend in Staunton in a beauty pageant that will take her to the Mrs. USA Finals in July. Long admired for her beauty and personality, the Chester Gap native was chosen Miss Rappahannock in 1995. On a whim, and with encouragement from her friends and admirers, Mrs. Phillips decided to enter this contest. She obtained the entry forms, filled them out, and sent in a photograph for the judges to consider. She not only was “speechless” when she won, she is “still reeling” with excitement from what all this means to her. For starters, “Janie,” as everyone calls her, has won almost $10,000 in See MRS.

New subdivision on South Poes Amissville subdivision and RappFlow survey topics at Planning Commission meeting By Monty Tayloe Kappahannock News Staff Writer 126 acres on South Poes Road, near Amissville, are about to become Rappahannock’s latest subdivision. The land, located near a former firing range, will be divided into 25 acre plots. According to their attorney Douglas Baumgardner, property owners Tommy Settle and Mike Brown’s plans for the property are “to create something consistent with the character of Rappahannock County.” The large plots of land will allow future residents of the proposed subdivision open space, and according to the property owners “ensure that the peaceful quiet wooded ambiance of the area is maintained.” Although Settle and Brown’s proposal came before the Planning Commission, Virginia’s subdivision laws mean that their proposal is not subject to approval from local1 governing bodies. Since their proposal is in compliance with the law, it is automatically approved and will not go before the Board of Zoning Appeals or the Board of Supervisors. Although they don’t need to appease these bodies, Settle, Brown, and Baumgardner are also planning on drafting “restrictive covenants” that will prevent activities on the parcels that might be offensive to neighbors, such as noisy Amir_ XXX T UOl, .

As an incentive to survey recipients, Rappflow' offered a free aerial photo of their property for returned surveys. The surveys were intended to discover what about their local watershed interested or worried recipients, how involved they were with preservation efforts, and to determine the need for public education on-watershed issuesThe surveys were initially mailed out on January 30, and the report Hunter gave the planning commission was intended only to be preliminary. She and RappFLOW are still analyzing the data. However, even at this early stage some interesting trends have emerged. Eighty-three out of the 157 selected “an adequate supply of good drinking water” as among the water issues that concern them the most, while only 30 chose “sediment in streams and ponds,” an issue that RappFLOW and other Rappahannock environmental groups have tried to emphasize. The top three perceived threats to the watershed chosen by recipients were “subdivision of land parcels”, “population growth” and “public sewage treatment plant discharge to stream.” The last choice was selected by 45 survey respondents, and may reflect the recent county concern over Washington’s proposed wastewater plant. Ninety-two percent of respondents said that they supported expenditures of public funds on watershed protection and restoration, a number Hunter admitted she found “surprising.” However, Hunter herself remains unsure how valid a sample of Rappahannock is reflected in the RappFLOW survey. “We wanted to get responses from all types of people, not just the ones who come to RappFLOW meetings. We’re not sure how accurate a sample this is.” According to Hunter, further and more detailed analysis of the survey is planned, and more interpretive reports will be published.

The county’s Board of Supervisors sat down Monday night for a public hearing on the spending plans for the school system next year. After a short meeting that included comments from the public, Acting Chairman Bob Anderson said of the School Board and Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell: “This is the best budget they have ever brought in”. Chappell had outlined the $11.75 million budget, pointing out the cuts that were made before the plan was submitted to the Supervisors. He noted the pleasant surprise of some $150,000 in savings on health insurance premiums, one that, as he side, “we never would have expected to see”. The Superintendent also noted that the planned rise in teacher salaries is minimal, adding that even with those small increases, “we will be behind other counties because they will get more money from the state than we will.” School Board member Aline Johnson thanked the Supervisors for their support in the past, and reminded all that the spending plan is a “dire needs budget”. In all, Dr. Chappell identified some $237,000 in cuts accomplished by the administration and the School Board as the budgeting work was done over the past several months. He described the work as a variation on zero-budgeting. Jackson District Supervisor Ron Frazier asked about the budgeting process that produced such savings and wondered, “how much we could’ve saved over the years if we’d taken the same approach”. Amissville resident and band room volunteer Katherine Treanor rose to thank the Supervisors for their support, saying, “we are very grateful...you gentlemen have been partners” in the progress of the school system. Ms. Treanor noted that the children she and her husband are raising have spent 19 years in Rappahannock schools, and for those years she has been coming to the Board of Supervisors to seek and receive support. “Our music students,” she said, “have been given the background to be able to compete at the highest levels.” In those 19 years here, she pointed out, “I have seen the education programs increase in number and quality.” County administrator John McCarthy announced that by law the Supervisors must wait at least 7 days after the public hearing before acting on the Financial Problems?

LtoR: Dennis Comer of Lantz Construction Co., Chairman Wes Mills, Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell proposed school budget. McCarthy noted that the Supervisors’ next regular meeting is Monday, May 1, and a school budget vote can be expected at that time. If the expressions during an after the public hearing are an accurate measure of the mood, the budget will sail through. McCarthy asked the Supervisors for an official vote on a related budget item, contract work on the football field, which McCarthy noted, is being carried out now. The administrator needed approval for “not more than $98,000” to pay the contractor’s bill. A motion was made and in the steady baritone murmurings of the board, it was “aye, aye, aye, aye” down the fine. The next morning found the School Board members in special session dealing with, among other items, money for the celebrated racing track behind the high school. The Board voted to authorize Superintendent Chappell to spend up to $150,000 to complete a contract with the firm that will coat the track with asphalt. Dr. Chappell pointed out that these funds are outside the school budget; some are from reduced interest payments. Another portion, just under $52,000, comes from the Arm Spieker Track Foundation, .whose board t>f directors, early in April, authorized the payment.

The club chose the clean-up project as their annual immunity 4H event but also had the opportunity to register their project with the National and Global Youth Services of America, in a nationwide Earth Day hi vent. The 4H club joined over 1,000 youth last weekend in nearly 50 projects which served their communities as they participated in the nation’s largest service event. The projects were posted on Youth Service of America’s website and the youth were to receive ; r ecognition from the Governor. The 4H Performing •' Arts Club of Rappahannock County who were orches• I trated by leader Cherl Crews of Castleton were Carly ; I Day, Austen Cloud, Tessa Crews, Presley Thomas, :• Morgan Cloud, Justin Smith, Kori Smith, Haley Owens and Skylar Owens. These children not only organized the clean-up project and event but turned the day into a festival with activities for the younger children who attended. There was face painting, puppet making, drumming, and potting flowers. In addition to the activities and pot luck lunch the group provided live musial entertainment from the county’s youth band “The i’ink Mob” and Janet Kerig, who has the arts and crafts camp at the park, assisted the club by drumming for their closing ceremony, a short production rifled “Bringing in the Earth”. Masks for the play were on loan from the collec■. non of Pine Philips and Wendy Sirit of Sage in Sperryville. The Farm and Garden store generously provided the ground covering and flowers and several dedicated families both local and out-of-county assisted in the days clean-up efforts transforming the mnely park into a welcoming play ground. Many thanks to all of you who worked so hard, your efforts are recognized. While a bit on the soggy ide, a good time was had by all. To all who participated, your actions are definitely 01 the ‘labor of love’ category. Town elections Tuesday is vote day in the Town of Washington. Current Town Council members are running unopposed and that would suggest a sure win tor all of them. There’s always the possibility of a huge write-in campaign but that is unlikely. The fact that there doesn’t appear to be any opposition to the present slate would also suggest either voter apathy or more likely voter approval. With the wastewater treatment plant issue overflowing into the county’s mindset these days, the Town ' ouncil will need the support of its constituents. Jf you’re out and about, vote.

Tom Taylor Monira Rifaat Three applicants for Piedmont supervisor By Monty Tayi.ok Rappahannock News StafT Writer The death of Board of Supervisors Chairman Charles K. “Pete” Estes earlier this month left a vacancy on the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. While actually replacing Rappahannock icon Estes is probably impossible, his Piedmont District, which surrounds and includes Sperryville, still needs a Supervisor, and the BOS requested applications for the job at their April 3 meeting. Applicants were required to be residents of the Piedmont District, present 50 signatures from Piedmont residents supporting their application, and to agree to run in a special election to be held this November. Three applicants have emerged from this process. Although First Sergeant Gary Settle of the State police, like Estes a former Rappahannock County Sheriff, considered applying, hp witk^rpu; kic name parlv citing his work. The three applicants the Supervisors will consider at their May 1 meeting are Katherine Estes Baader, daughter of Chairman Estes, Monira Rifaat, a cattle farmer who has been active in Rappahannock on environmental issues, and Tom Taylor, a contractor and farmer who is a life long resident of Rappahannock. On May 1, these three applicants will be interviewed in a closed session by the sitting Supervisors, and one will be appointed to serve Piedmont District until the November election. That special election will be open to any Piedmont resident, but it seems likely that whoever wins the appointment will have a leg up on the competition. Katherine ‘Kim’ Estes Baader Profession: Director of Inventory Control for the Retail Divisioifof Plow and The Rappahannock News emailed a short questionnaire to all three applicants, asking them to reply to the same four questions in their own words. Hearth How long have you lived in Rappahannock County and the Piedmont district? I have lived in the Piedmont Magisterial District of Rappahannock County for 42 years. Have you ever held public office? No. If you become a Supervisor, what are your plans for the Piedmont District and Rappahannock County? If I am the candidate that is appointed to represent the Piedmont Magisterial District on the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, I will be a proactive, responsive representative of the constituents. Over the past two weeks, I have had the opportunity to interact with many county residents who have openly expressed their concerns in regards to the future of our community. I, as well as many other residents of the county, hold the current Board of Supervisors in high esteem for their commitment to the future of our county. Serving as a representative on this board, I would continue to incorporate the residents’ voice, in order to act in the best interest of the current and future generations of Rappahannock County. 1 feel that it is vital given the climate of development in surrounding counties that we continue to preserve our community within the framework of the Rappahannock County Comprehensive Plan. What is the most important issue for Rappahannock County right now, and what would you do about it if appointed? I feel that the most important issue facing RajJ^ahan nock County at the present is controlling growth while maintaining the balance between the fundamentals of the county and economic feasibility. We are constantly faced with the increased real estate development in surrounding counties and the decreased support from our state government. This decrease in support from the state government directly impacts the financial demands placed on the local taxpayer. I would strive hard to focus on the balance between the preservation of our county and the need for excellence in education and local highway improvements. Tom G. Taylor Profession: General contractor/partner in a beef farm. How long have you lived in Rappahannock County and the Piedmont district? Lifetime resident of the county and Piedmont District. Have you ever held public office? No. If you become a Supervisor, what are your plans for the Piedmont District and Rappahannock County? To serve the residents of the Piedmont District through hard work, honesty and integrity, while working with the Supervisors for the betterment of our county. What is the most important issue for Rappahannock County right now, and what would you do about it if appointed? The most important issue for Rappahannock is its future. I would work closely with the current supervisors to maintain the county’s well being, (i.e. sufficient fire/police), its rural setting, (protecting its environment and farmlands) and the school system (which is the future of our children and grandchildren). ' Monira K. Rifaat Profession: Farmer, owner/ operator of Manor Farm, a herd of Angus sired commercial cattle. How long have you lived in Rappahannock County and the Piedmont district? Since 1980 Have you ever held public office? In 2004 elected director from Rappahannock County to the Culpeper Soil and water conservation district. Currently serving as chair of the board.

m Photo by Jonathan Bankston BAD SCENE: This was the scene Tuesday afternoon with a three-vehicle crash. The red pickup which initiated the accident is hidden behind the ambulance. In the background, rescue personnel work on one of the passengers. Accident From Page A1 On the afternoon of April 25, the Rams were on their way to play the RCHS Panthers when their bus stopped on Rt.522 at the stop sign at the intersection with US 211. They were just under eight miles from RCHS. According to the Virginia State police, as the bus sat at the stop sign, a white Ford F350 towing a trailer was heading towards the intersection on westbound 211. At the same time, a red 1990 Ford Pickup coming from eastbound 211 pulled across the median, mean mg to turn onto 522. The driver of the red truck, a juvenile from Chester Gap, pulled out across eastbound 211 into the path of the white F350, apparently without seeing the larger, oncoming truck. The driver of the red pickup was later charged with Reckless Driving by State Trooper Don Corbin. “Our bus driver said she could tell there was about to be an accident,” said Matthias. The white F350, traveling at between 40 and 55 mph, struck the red pickup in its bed spinning the smaller truck around. The white truck, driven by a 31year-old man from Mt. Solon,VA , lost control and ran off the road and into a field, striking a fence and a street sign, and complete ly shearing through a telephone pole on the way. Meanwhile, the spinning red pickup bounced off the front of the Strasburg school bus and rolled back into westbound 211. On the bus, assistant coaches were thrown from their seats and young softball players were knocked around. More seriously, the spinning red truck ejected debris from it’s loaded bed as it rebounded. Much of this struck the school bus, breaking one window. A large piece, believed to be part of a tool box, came in through the open driver’s side window of the bus and struck the driver on the shoulder. Rescue personnel from Amissville and Washington, the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office, and Trooper Don Corbin of the State police all responded to the scene. Luckily, except for the danger of the active electrical transformer attached to the downed telephone pole, this accident scene was relatively stable. Despite the scale of the accident, the bus driver and a passenger from the red pickup were the only people who needed medical transport, and they are believed to have sustained only minor injuries. However, according to their coach, the Rams were shaken and their game was canceled. They rode back to Strasburg on the bus of their boys team, who had already made it to RCHS. The match between the Panthers and Rams will be postponed. Mrs. Virginia From Page A1 prizes, gifts, jewelry, trips, and an opportunity to compete in the “Mrs. USA” pageant in July.

At their April meeting, the two bodies completed the first stage of preliminary changes to the proposed ordinance, and will now move on to the Historic District Guidelines. The Guidelines will provide clear examples and a basis for ARB decisions, protecting Washington from court challenges. Although the process of actually putting a new ordinance into law is several stages removed from completion, the proposed changes already point to a changed Architectural Review Board for Washington. If the changes discussed in these planning meetings become final, the manner in which future ARB’s regulate the appearance of Washington will considerably change. The paint color, long regulated by the ARB chosen by Washington residents will no longer be subject to their approval. Conversely, the ARB’s dominion was in the past confined to architectural features visible from public streets. Since the new guidelines are focused on preserving the historic character of Washington, the new ordinance may affect changes to any part of a building. According to Cheryl Sheppard of Millennium Preservation Services, who is helping Washington design the ordinance, any changes to the structure of a historic building can jeopardize its status, whether publicly visible or not. This means that future ARB’s may have to get more involved with the minutiae of construction in a way they never have been. Washington residents may have to go before future ARB’s in order to replace their porch railings or paving stones. “It sees to me that the role of the ARB is changing,” said ARB member Michelle Schwartz. However, all the changes and suggestions made in the joint meeting sessions will later be subject to public comment and Town council debate, and the ultimate Historic District Ordinance may not resemble this early draft by the time it is passed.

Now in its third year at RCHS, Farm-to-Table has outgrown that building and spread to RCES, where Program Coordinator Trista Scheuerlein teaches sixth and seventh grade Agriculture Exploratory classes and works with teachers in other grades as well. Sponsored by the Young Farmland Preservation Fund, the RCES program introduces- gardening to students through Earth Boxes, vermiculture, tree planting, and seed propagation as well as classwork. “Bill was a Master Gardener and loved to garden,” remembered Mitzie Young of her late husband, in whose memory the Fund was established. “We both loved the county and wanted to see it as green, natural, and unspoiled as possible. Any program oriented around the children respecting the natural environment will have an impact. The most important thing is to have them eiyoy it!” Also new this school year were “Fresh, Seasonal Food Tastings,” in which Ms. Scheuerlein, with help from Mary Arthur’s Culinary Arts students and local volunteers, offered tasty, nutritious lunchtime samples to students in both school cafeterias. Supported by Cole Family Foundation funding as well as food donations from local farms, the tastings are very popular with the students. Mrs. Arthur appreciates the opportunity for her students to work with locally grown produce, practice their knife skills, and learn about composting. “We love the hands-on approach that Farm-to-Table offers at the middle school level,” remarked RCES Principal Dave Covington, who also likes the emphasis on healthy eating. Asked about "his organization’s support of the program, Rappahannock County Farm Bureau President Chris Parrish explained, “The Farm Bureau supports any activity that promotes the family farm—anything that will help people stay in the county and make a living. We think supporting the Farmto-Table program is a nice way to give the Farm Bureau dues back to the county.” A partnership between Headwaters—the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation, the Rappahannock County Public Schools, and local farms, the Farm-to-Table Program is truly “Growing Pride” for Rappahannock County students. For more information on the program, please contact Headwaters Executive Director Paige Coombs at 675-1819, or email Trista Scheuerlein at F arm2Table@hotmail.com.

Jenkins will pitch college ball After several offers, Jason Jenkins will play baseball for the Captains at Christopher Newport University By Chris Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News Jason Jenkins spent four years preparing, fine-tuning and auditioning for the bieeest role of his life. And while those years could be fun yet stressful, the promise of a chance to pitch at the collegiate level is something that he would not ever change. “It’s a trying time. Everything else takes a backseat,” said Jenkins, Rappahannock County High School’s senior left-handed pitcher/first baseman who just agreed to continue his baseball career at Christopher Newport University. roure always at home waiting for a call or you go out and you come back, and a coach has called for you. Coaches don’t bug you, but they don’t leave you alone, either. They want a schedule so they can come and see you play. They want tapes of you. They need information from you. But now, I can concentrate on this high school season and winning the (Group A) Bull Run District.” Christopher Newport University is one of the top Division III baseball programs in the country. Under head coach John Harvell, the Captains went to the NCAA Tournament three consecutive seasons earlier in this decade, finishing as the College World Series runner up in June 2003. This season, the Captains currently a ire 19-17 in the Dixie Conference, which includes Fferrum, Averett, Greensboro, Methodist, North Carolina Wesleyan, Shenandoah and Chowan. The latter two Dixie Conference schools, along with Virginia Military Institute, Shepherd College, Frostburg State and Eastern Mennonite, also sought Jenkins’ left arm for the next four seasons. But in the end, Jenkins chose Christopher Newport, which is located in Newport News, for its athletic facilities and strong academics. e-nnstopner Newport has everything that I want in a school,” said Jenkins, who plans to major in history and go into teaching. “It has a good education department. It has D-l facilities at a D-3 school. The coaching staff is very knowledgeable. They were the national runner up a couple of years ago, and obviously, they want to get back to that level.” Jenkins has been enjoying a stellar senior year for the Panthers. Two weeks ago against Page County, he tossed a two-hitter and struck out 15 in a 1-0 Rappahannock victory. It was the third time this season that he had struck out 10 or more batters in a game. As a junior, the Bull Run District coaches tapped Jenkins All-District first team after he hit .451 with three home runs and 20 RBI. He also had a 6-2 record with 112 strikeouts and just 36 walks. Those numbers, his play with his traveling baseball team, the Central Virginia String, attending summer camps, and a strong showing in a fall baseball showcase of some of Virginia’s best high school baseball players helped Jenkins attract plenty of interest from college recruiters. “(College coaches) are not coming to Rappahannock to watch you play,” Jenkins added. “You need to call the coaches and tell them where you will be.” The journey that Jenkins took also included visits to the many schools interested in his talent. At the end, he had to chose from Shenandoah, Eastern Mennonite, Christopher Newport or a walk-on role at Division I George Mason. Rappahannock head baseball coach Jeff Jenkins, who is Jason’s father, said the process of helping his son win a chance to pitch at the collegiate level should assist him in working with other Rappahannock student-athletes. “In the next few years, we have a couple of other players who could play at the college level,” Jeff Jenkins said. “I can talk better with those coaches and can get them to come and see our players.” r Photo by Ron Vickers Jason Jenkins But playing baseball is only one of the reasons to go to the next level’ Jeff Jenkins pointed out. “I told Jason that you never know how things will work out. Go get a good education,” he said. “He can always say that he went to college, play some baseball, but the most important thing is that he got an education.” Meet lenders you can depend on... for financing that's as unique as the property you want to buy. ■ Farmettes & estates ■ Livestock ■ Barns, stables & equipment ■ No acreage limitations ■ Construction to permanent ■ Fewer and lower fees /s. - ■ Homes • First-time homebuyers • 100% financing • Refinancing • Second home & investment properties Times Community Newspapers.

Now, maybe he will be able to say the same thing about its hitting. “We have been doing better, but we’re capable of hitting the ball a lot better,” Jenkins said after his Panthers reeled off their third win in four games, a 4-1 decision over Clarke County Friday afternoon. Still, no one can argue with the pitching performances that Rappahannock has had lately. Friday in the win over Clarke County, junior lefthander Ethan Russell tossed a one-hitter. He fanned the first six hitters that he faced. “Ethan had everything working,” Jenkins said. “His curve was working well. He was locating the fastball well.” Russell also helped his cause with a base hit, two runs scored and a pair of stolen bases. Rappahannock opened its scoring in the top of the second as Bobby Czekaj tripled and scored on Nathan Hartshorn’s single. In the fifth, Alex Sharp had an RBI double to give Rappahannock its second run. The Panthers added two more in the sixth with Hartshorn’s run-scoring single and Jason Jenkins’ sacrifice fly. The Panthers got back-toback shutout performances from Jason Jenkins in a 5-0 win over Manhssas Park and a 1-0 victory over Page County. Rappahannock scored once in the first as Jacob Dodson singled* home Karl Thornhill, who had walked and stole second. The Panthers added two runs in the fourth, one scor ing on Czekaj’s base hit. An RBI double from Chase Tupper and a run-scoring single from Thornhill gave Rappahannock its final two runs in the sixth. Jenkins struck out seven in the first six innings pitched. Czekaj tossed a scoreless seventh inning. In a doubleheader at Page County, Russell posted a strong pitching performance, but some costly errors lifted Page to a 6-2 win in the opening game of the doubleheader. Russell allowed just two earned runs. Jenkins powered Rappahannock’s offense with a single, a double and a pair of RBI. Russell, Hartshorn, Travis Jenkins and Tupper also singled. In the nightcap, Jason Jenkins fanned 15 in the 1-0 win over Page County. Rappahannock’s only run came in the second as Czekaj tripled and scored on a fielder’s choice.

Wakefield Country Day School WCDS waxes on Flint Hill-History came alive to the students at Wakefield Country Day School this week, when the fourth graders presented a Living Wax Museum for their fellow students to visit. Organized by their teacher, Christine Chatelain, the students each selected an “explorer,” did research on that person, and then put together visual aides and costumes to help depict the individual they had chosen. Mrs. Chatelain, who came to Wakefield from Santa Barbara four years ago, has used this forum of a wax museum each spring to engage students in learning about famous figures in history, every year using a different “theme.” Not only do her students enjoy assuming the role of a famous person in history and learning as much as they can about that individual, the other students who tour the museum aLo have a novel way to get to know these historical figures. During the tour, each “figure” wore a button which, when pressed, triggered a “recorded message” describing that character’s background and accomplishments. This year’s Wax Museum' stars were: Sacajawea, played by Grace Alexander; William Clark, played by Alex Foster; Hernan Cortez, played by Joshua Gressly; Mary Kingsly, played by Emily Hennessy; Margret Mead, played by Cheyanne Larkins; Christopher Columbus, played by Shivam Mehta; Marco Polo, played by Sam Nolan; Pocahontas, played by Kimberly Pankow; John Smith, played by Tiavis Pullen; Americus Vespucci, played by Ahmed Rahimi; Meriwether Lewis, played by Michael Stone; Sally r Ride, played by Lucy Van Ness; Ferdinand Magellan, played by Marcus Williams.

Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer Lynne Fournier has a passion for music. Her enthusiasm for sharing her passion with her students is a legacy that she will leave in a very special way this year. Fournier was awarded a Headwaters grant earlier in the year to engage a composer to write a new piece of concert music for the Rappahannock County Elementary School 2006 group of sixth and seventh graders. It was to celebrate their unanimous superior rating that they garnered at a competition ]■' last year. While attending a Helen Williams summer studies program at Villanova University, Fournier met a nationally known band composer, Larry Clark. Not only is Clark composing an original piece for the school’s band but he is coming to spend a day working with them as they prepare to present it at the May 4 Spring Concert. Clark, who has composed hundreds of pieces for school bands across the country, specializes in composing music for bands and orchestras suitable for their respective ages. x-KXi. iy d mwoit nao uccu uuiu" enced by a variety of composers and teachers. He credits his father, a long time band director in Florida for teaching him the joy of music. Clark is actively involved in developing educational material for todays students through integrating innovative teaching techniques technology. He holds a Bachelors Degree in Music Education from Florida State University and Masters Degrees in Conduct Composition from James Madison University. “These commissions don’t happen very often,” said an animated Fournier. “It’s like having our own little window on the world.” Clark’s composition entitled “Talons of Fire” is already in the hands of the band students at the elementary school and they are busy learning and practicing this spirited piece. “He has composed a special advanced percussion part for Michael Caporuscio and a special advanced tympani part for John Mills,” said Fournier who has made a reservation for( Clark to stay at the Sycamore Hills Bed and Breakfast! - * “I want him to enjoy the Rappahannock County scenery while he is here,” exclaimed Fournier who is elated to have this nationally recognized band composer work with her students. The composition, “Talons of Fire” will be published for all „ school bands in the world to own! * and the dedication line will per-' * manently honor Rappahannock * County Elementary School. For Fournier, who will be retiring this year from public school teaching, leaving her “last band” with a composition all their own is a gift that she never thought she would be able to give. « It will be a lasting tribute.

Historical Sampler set for Meadow Green Farm By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock Historical Society has scheduled its annual historical house tour and benefit at Meadow Green Farm on Saturday afternoon, May 20. Meadow Green Farm, the home of John and Pam Kiser, is a working farm located on the Hughes River off Slate Mills Road and Route 231, in the southern part of the county. As in the past, this year’s event will offer a snapshot of history, focusing on the activities one would have seen at a plantation of this era in the Piedmont of Virginia. A many-faceted learning experience that will fascinate adults as well as children, the tom- offers an opportunity to visit a 1830s-era farm and grand old house. Sponsored by the Rappahannock Historical Society, this popular fundraiser, dubbed a “Historical Sampler,” is held each year at a different historic home in the county. Since the society has no endowment or funding other than dues and donations, this is a crucial fundraiser to help provide financial resources to maintain the viability of the Society to collect, preserve and share its treasure trove of local history. Featured activities at “Historical Sampler” Music, history, and “historical reenactments” will be special features of this year’s interactive event. Living history demonstrations performed by skilled artisans will be of particular interest to young people. Those activities include the following: • Weaving (Linda Witt of Misty Mt. Farm) • Hand-made soaps (Charlene Vanlandingham) • Butter churning (Rebecca Burke) • Education of the times (Lucia Killy) • Quilting (Florine Baldwin) • Games, dances, sachet making (Kitty Keyser & Hearthstone School students) > • Draft horse use at a farm (Chris Bird of Horse Shoe Hollow Farm) • Herbalist (Jenny Stone) • Woodworking (Gary Wilson) • Farrier/blacksmithing (James Neighbors) Music will include selections from the early 1800s, including Appalachian/ Folk and Spiritual/Gospel. A performance by the much-admired “Promise Land Choir” of the Promise Land Baptist Church of Gid Brown Hollow, will be a special highlight of the afternoon. Delicious food and refreshments provided by local Rappahannock restaurants also will be a special treat. Expected to add a touch of anticipation to the event will be raffles of an exceptional handmade “nine patch” block quilt by Kathy Heslep, as well as a valuable watercolor “Storm’s a Commin” donated by well-known Rappahannock artist, Nancy Keyser. Meadow Green—the house and its background T\iming off Slate Mills Road, a short ride along the scenic Hughes River brings you to Meadow Green Farm, a Rappahannock landmark since the mid-1800s. The house, built in the shadow of nearby Old Rag, is a notable example of Greek Revival-style seen in rural Virginia of the era. The three-story masonry dwelling is constructed of stretcher-bond brick on a solid brick foundation. It has a traditional large center hallway that was used in the past as a breezeway. The building has 8m unusually wide cornice with decorative frieze that encircles the house. This is finished with medallions, a dentil course, and Italianafe-style scrolled brackets. A striking feature of the interior of his handsome house is the stairway handrail—one solid piece of carved chestnut strips that curves up three floors. The Kisers, who have owned Meadow Green since 1977, have created a warm - ■ '.w *-.**>.All photographs by Richard Lykes HISTORIC: Meadow Green Farm is the site of the Rappahannock Historical Society’s benefit event, “Historical Sampler,” scheduled for Saturday, May 20. and personal home, a mix of old and new. The house as restored retains its early Virginia country charm. Its highceiling spacious rooms have been updated with bright colors and interesting furnishings, including antiques and family heirlooms. The home’s fine art collection is both eye-catching and eclectic. Over the years, only a few well-known families in the county, including the Quaintance, Finks, and Yates, have owned the property. Importance of Historical Society work For all of us who are interested in our roots in the community, including tracing the history of one’s properly, there is no resource more valuable than the Rappahannock Historical Society. Its growing collection of donated books, documents and memorabilia benefit all the citizens of this county who live here—and many who lived here in the past. Indeed, descendants still represent many of the families who settled in the area in colonial times. At the heart of the Society’s ability to serve the community are its important museum and library collections. With a mission to collect and preserve the history of the people and land of Rappahannock County, the Society collects a wealth of valuable information and documents.

Based on Cash’s own books, Man in Black and Cash: The Autobiography, the film is not so much the story of his life as it is the tale of the two unassailable loves of his life. The first, of course, was the music. The second was fellow performer and eventual wife June Carter, with whom he kindled the “Ring of Fire” that burned around them until they died within four months of each other in 2003. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) brings this splendid biopic to The Theatre on Gay Street, Washington, VA, Friday, May 5, at 8 p.m. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon inhabit the role of the young Johnny and June, battling their way over various obstacles toward their dreams, and toward each other. “Chemistry” is here in force with both giving outstanding performances and doing all their own remarkably fine singing Witherspoon was rewarded with an Oscar for Best Actress. She also won a Golden Globe in the same category with Phoenix taking top honors for Best Actor. The film won a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy. The film opens in 1968 as the 36-year-old Cash is about to take the stage for his landmark show at California’s Folsom Prison, which yielded one of the greatest live performances ever recorded. We then flash back to his dirt-poor Arkansas upbringing as the son of sharecropper Ray (Robert Patrick) and wife Carrie (Shelby Lynne), and see the family shattered by the accidental death of firstborn son Jack (Lucas Till). Ray’s guilt and grief cause him to blame young “J.R.,” creating rifts that would take decades to even begin to heal, and the movie implies that the rift between father and son played a large role in shaping the determination and drive that fueled Cash’s career. The film tracks Cash’s stint in the Air Force where he pens his first songs, followed by marriage to childhood sweetheart Viv (Ginnifer Goodwin) and a move to Memphis, where she nags him to give up his music dreams and get a steady job. But he’s not so easily deterred. In one of the best scenes, he wheedles an audition at Sun Records, the fabled storefront recording studio owned by Sam Phillips (Dallas Roberts). It’s a thrill to watch “Johnny Cash” being born before your eyes, singing “Folsom Prison Blues,” hesitantly at first, then with the brooding intensity that would become his hallmark. From there, it’s a short hop to the road where Cash pals around and performs with Elvis Presley (Tyler Hilton), Jerry Lee Lewis (Waylon Payne) and Roy Orbison (Johnathan Rice). These scenes showcasing the raw talent at the birth of rock-and-roll burst with energy. It’s during this time that Johnny meets June, scion of one of the most famous families in country music. They literally run into each other and her dress gets caught in his guitar strings just as he’s about to go on stage. June, a performer since age 4, nimbly turns this into a quick comedy routine and sparks that fire in his eyes. ! The movie traces their relationship as performers and friends through two divorces for her, one for him, and his battle with alcohol and prescription drugs until the day 10 years later when, with both finally unattached and Johnny straight and sober, he asks her to marry him, on stage, no less and she says yes. “Walk the Line” is an award-worthy account on the origins, formative years and all-consuming love of a true-blue, 100 percent American original. The film is rated PG-13 for profanity, thematic material and depiction of drug dependency. Run time is 136 minutes. *

As the days become warmer and longer, we begin working in our yards, cleaning out flowerbeds that have lain dormant through the long winter months, and putting in new plantings. Inside our homes we begin cleaning windows, doors and floors. Drapes and carpet undergo professional cleaning. New paint goes on the wall. For some, even the silver gets polished. It’s spring! But as we spring-clean our houses and yards, let’s not forget our inner selves. Spring is also a time when wc have celebrated several of our most “holy” religious holidays. It’s equally as important for us to take careful inventory of ourselves, so we, too can be better prepared for worship and service. Prayer, fasting, meditation and worship are good “took” for spring-cleaning our own selves. “Let us draw near to God... having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us...” (Hebrews 10:22) Visit your chosen house of worship this spring and be cleansed and renewed!

Packing Shed Gallery presents the photography of George Collier Focusing on Richmond’s historic riverfront By Tucker Hill Special to the Rappahannock New*. For its May show, The Packing Shed Gallery in Washington is featuring the classic photography of Richmonder George Collier. Through Collier’s lens, Richmond’s riverside bridge piers and spans and historic 19 century canal walls and factory buildings become monumental architecture forms and spaces enhanced by the water’s reflections. These large format black and white images, several presented as paired panoramas or “diptych,” reveal Collier’s meticulous and patient process from selection of the perfect “photo moment” to the elegant finish of his prints. ine James, the Bridges, & the Canal: Images & Details” will be on view from May 4 through May 29th, with an artist’s reception on Sunday, May 7, from 2-5 p.m. “When I moved to Richmond in 1980,” Collier said, “I began to gravitate around the river and canal, making many negatives over the years, often of the same location or subject in different seasons, under different lighting conditions, until the image found me.” And rather them expound on his process and technique, Collier prefers famed American photographer Minor White’s explanation: “For technical data — the camera was faithfully used.” Collier has been doing photography since the age of 10 when living in Japan. He was a photographer for the College of Architecture at Virginia Tech, following graduation. He now works for a global imaging services company, while pursuing fine art photography. The‘Packing Shed Gallery is located at the corner of Porter and Gay streets in historic Washington, Virginia, and is open Thursday through Monday from 12:30-7 p.m. For more information, phone (540) 675-3410.

Without a Trace (Almost) Google on nearly any topic these days and, provided the choice of keywords is not too specific, the number of ‘hits’ can be essentially infinite. It seems as though information on just about everything is continually expanding. Much of it is redundant or to be less kind, totally useless, but there sure is a lot of it. This data overload also extends to historical topics, but here one finds a dichotomy. Some topics, such as the American Civil War, the Great Depression, etc. have ever-growing bodies of facts to be endlessly sifted and debated. This immense data mine seems due to several factors, intense continuing interest in the historical topics coupled with a rich collection of written and/or oral documentation of these various compelling eras. Many historical areas are much more difficult to study however. The reasons: basically the flip side of the “hot’ topics, fewer records and less intense interest in the subject matter. Such is the case with the earliest inhabitants of our own county, the Indians, but alas, in this instance even more than other historical topics, the emphasis has to be on mystery rather than history. For readers with a past interest in this subject, we apologize for what may seem but a rehash of what you may already know. But alas, there just is not much to go on at present. Early residents Humans have inhabited the Shenandoah Valley and Piedmont areas of Virginia for at least 11,000 and perhaps 20,000 years. For all but the last 400 of those years, those inhabitants were Indians however neither this name nor the term Native American is quite accurate as a description of these early residents. Europeans explorers, mistaking America for the Far East, erroneously dubbed this continent’s denizens Indians (as opposed to the true Indians who charm snakes, dig for rubies with pay in rupees, and ride elephants for a living half a world away). Students of ancient history generally agree that humans migrated to the Americas via a land bridge from Siberia during the last ice age, thus the adjective First rather than Native might be a more accurate portrayal of our earli est ‘settlers’. Sigh, this can only mean that everyone who has ever called Rappahannock home is or was a ‘come-here’ at one time or another, but that’s an argument for another day. Captain John Smith reported learning of the Manahoack and Monacan tribes during his exploration of the Rappahannock River to its fall line (approximately today’s Fredericksburg) in the early 1600s and these groups appear on Smith’s famous map of Virginia from that time. Several subgroups of the Manahoacks, the Hassinuga, Taxnitania, Tegninateo, and the Whonkentia were actually indicated by Smith and others to be living on the two sides of the Rappahannock near its headwaters but very little else is known about them. Smith thought these Indians to be hostile though a later German explorer, John Lederer actually visited and traded with some of these tribes and found them to be friendly (to him at least). Both the Manahoacks (Manahoacs, Mahocks) and Monacans were members of the Siouan linguistic group (linking them ancestrally with the wellknown Sioux tribes of the Great i» jtt'i Vj*< TiTraj T|77| Plains. It is thought that that both had moved east from the Ohio area at some point. While the Monacans were actually located somewhat south of present day Rappahannock County, they are of interest to us because of their connections to the Manahoacks and because even today they are a small but active tribe centered in Amherst County and thus actually in a position to explore not only their heritage but also our own. Both tribes were distinguished from their neighbors not only by language. The Algonquins of Tidewater (of Chief Powhatan and Pocahontas fame) and the Susquhannocks and Iroquois to the north were enemies of the Manahoacks and Monacan even before the coming of the White Eyes’. Beyond these few basics, much of the knowledge about our early residents must be drawn by extrapolation from findings at the Thunderbird Archaeological site on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River below Front Royal. This site, discovered by amateur archaeologists in the 1970s, has proven to be one of the richest in niasujm in onn America m providing background on our ancient inhabitants. Spearheads and arrowheads and production remnants for these projectile tips, dome-shaped dwelling from bent saplings thrust into the ground and covered with twigs and branches, and stone and clay pottery are among the compelling findings at Thunderbird. Though it may be romantic for we sophisticated 21st Centurions to think that these folks hunted the mastodon and woolly mammoths in our hills and hollows, those great beasts, though once present, were no longer in the area by the time the Indians arrived. Thus, they like we, could only hunt the lowly deer (and elk until they were all gone). It is also important to note that the bow and arrow did not arrive in this region until about 1,000 AD, so a lot of the early hunting was done with spears. (Those big stone tips you find in your rock pile are thus likely spearheads, not arrowheads, kemo sabe!). N/ Histories & Mysteries Judy and John Tole evrgreenl@earthlink.net The Indians periodically burned the forest to flush out game (quite an inefficient method, one might say) and to regenerate the grasslands. This often put them at odds with early White settlers whose homes might be in the paths of the conflagrations. Madison County historical records apparently document some of these pyrotechnical conflicts. Looking for evidence Other than the artifacts of stone and clay that these people left behind, the only other remaining indicators of their presence here are burial mounds. These fairly small mounds (as compared to some great ones in the Mississippi River region), which may have been constructed to hold groups of bones moved from individual graves, have been found in the Shenandoah Valley and south of here in Madison, Greene, and Albemarle Counties. The existence of at least one burial mound in Rappahannock has been reported; however there seems to be no documentation of the site. It would certainly seem possible that there could have been many more, though these may have been unrecognized and plowed under in the past 300 years. The decimation of the various North American tribes from European diseases is pretty well known. Less familiar may be the indirect contribution the White men made to the Indian’s decline through their desire for the beaver flu* and deer hides. There were great riches to be made during the late 1600s by trading these commodities. The Indians were among the greatest suppliers and like all humans, seemed unable to resist the deadly sin of greed. Encouraged by the Whites, the more powerful tribes, some like the Iroquois with firearms, raided their weaker counterparts to obtain more furs and skins. In the process, the natives actually participated in what amounted to near total self-destruction. Whatever local Indians remained by this time were essentially gone when the bugs, guns, and arrows had done their work. Other than that which has been mentioned, their history was gone with them. Indian sites? Information on specific ‘Indian’ sites within Rappahannock County is very limited and mostly anecdotal. Several different sources report that there may have been an Indian Village at or near present-day Little Washington. It is also said that the first real business in the county was an Indian trading post housed in what is now the Middle Street Gallery; trade with which Indians is anybody’s guess. That building was located at the time on the lot now occupied by the Inn at Little Washington. There are also reports of Native American artifacts being found in Harris and Jenkins Hollows and at Huntly. Given the importance of the combination of water and high ground in selecting camp locations, it would also seem possible that Rock Mills and Slate Mills could have been important Indian sites, though to our knowledge no one has reported finding artifacts at these spots. These first come-heres are a huge portion of our collective heritage and it is sad indeed that more is not known about them. The Rappahannock Historical Society is greatly interested in collecting additional knowledge about these early people. If any readers have artifacts, know of potential historic sites, or other information about these first residents of our county, we would be most happy to hear from you and hope that you might share your knowledge to add to our collective heritage. ‘When You Weren’t Looking’ worth taking a look at By Barbara Heile Special to the Rappahannock News “When You Weren’t Looking” is a finely realized showing of prints on view at The Packing Shed Gallery in Washington, Virginia. The artist Heather Self has completed a cycle in her life, that of the liberal arts education, earning a B.FA in Printmaking this spring from Shepherd College. These are one-of-a-kind prints, monotypes by definition, yet through her unique process they border on painting. They are very strong, very tender, and very mysterious. The show closes on May 1. Gallery hours are Thursday-Monday 12:30- 7pm; The Packing Shed Gallery is located on the comer of Porter and Gay Streets. The following impressions mirror aspects of the prints themselves and the process by which she created them. When you weren’t looking, something else becomes visible. While Heather wasn’t looking she emerged through the process of following and trusting what she loved. She is articulate, both verbally and artistically, when she describes all the pieces of her life that became loved by her. Once again, art imitates life. The pieces come into view the longer one looks. Listening through the eyes, deeper and more deeply, intellectually not knowing what meaning they have, we begin to experience “felt meaning.” American philosopher and psychotherapist Eugene Gendlin realized this term after experiencing meaning in a state of deep listening. Drs. Campbell and McMahon found that “the bodys ability to experience felt meaning is the forgotten bridge into the experience of Spirit.” Art is a door for that experience. Heather’s intention has been realized in these one-of-a-kind prints. They are developed more intensely than the norm for a monotype, with early etched plates used as a base layer under countless other layers of intaglio techniques. The medium of etching is no doubt the one vehicle to express the precision of her feeling, the precision of her thought and the veiled mystery of her experience. Another layer/impression emerges: they are not veiled in a cold, unapproachable way; rather the overall warmth of the inks and the pro sentatdon of each print draw you in. She has said she seeks to make images that are relevant to now, our Zeitgeist: the spirit of our time. These prints, though silent are not wordless. We recognize words and writing — sometimes decipherable, sometimes not. We recognize images of houses, people, angels, warriors, and tools. Her meaning is layered with richly colored inks: delicate pinks that gently whisper, am airy blue and dark, rich, warm blacks and blues from which forms amd spaces arise. A deep, blood red is felt in the red ink’s thick, tacky quality. Pieces of imagery rise to the surface and even these often receive yet amother layer of color, inscription, pattern or image. The surface- wow - this is where we begin. The surface of the print is like a resonant dream state- layers upon layers of feeling, memory, understanding, amd form. Through the surface we enter the grotto of Heather Self. These aire grounded images, not otherworldly. They are grounded in humanity: wheelbarrows, desks, writing, lamguage, bearing arms, houses. Technology is felt in the repeated use of transistor-like patterns amd diagrams. And we meet Spirit in this human world through the images of amgels and The Mother. Particular pieces stand out. “The Precipice” is perhaps the most emotional of all: a haillowed figure, soft pinks, fight rising from the bottom into rich dairk layers of space in a perfect, smaill, horizontal format. The fight emanating from “Cherry Park” is the brightest and the piece exists in the most familiar space, with a cleairly landscape-like quality. The emotion expressed is simple and direct. “Still Point” is another favorite: a woman sitting, at a desk or instrument, with intimations of writing with musical overtones to the right. We see exquisite contours balanced by whispers of form. Self has an inspiring artistic focus and mastery at this time in her fife. She has taken her time; being educated by fife, travel, family and friends, and her love of the printmaking process. She has walked thru another door deeply connected to her inner fife. Her prints reveal as much and more. Obenshain to speak at Mary Beth Williams Memorial fundraiser The Mary Beth Williams Foundation has announced that State Senator Mark Obenshain of Harrisonburg will serve as keynote speaker for the Foundation’s annual event. Obenshain is a prominent member of the Virginia Senate’s Agriculture Committee. He represents Rappahannock County, part of Rockingham County, the City of Harrisonburg, Page County and Shenandoah County. This year’s event will be held at the home of Richard and Jeannie McNear, in Gid Brown Hollow, on Saturday, May 6 at 4:30 p.m. The entire community is invited. The theme of the event will be the “future of farming in Rappahannock.” Obenshain, as a member of the Agriculture Committee, is expected to address this and other topics of interest. Obenshain’s home county of Rockingham is Virginia’s largest agricultural producer. Mary Beth Williams, whose life has become a symbol of spring, was tragically killed in an automobile accident in May of 1997. She was 18-years-old. One of Mary Beth Williams’ passions was the study of agriculture. The Williams memorial fund finances scholarships for higher education, tamp attendance and other activities for the youth of Rappahannock County. As of this date there have been contributions of over $43,000.00 to the fund. Scholarships awarded since 1997 exceed $24,000.00. Tickets for the May 6 fundraiser may be purchased at the Rappahannock County Extension Office and are $50 per couple or $25- per person. Senator Mark Obenshain Children under 12 will be admitted free of charge. The telephone number for the Rappahannock County Cooperative Extension Service is 675-3619. Bluegrass music will be provided by the Shenandoah Travelers. All residents of Rappahannock County and the surrounding area are invited to attend this event.

A worthy cause It is time, once again, to get your tickets for the Mary Beth Williams Memorial fund raiser. This organization commemorates the life of a young Rappahannock woman who was lost in a tragic automobile accident. The funds raised are used to provide scholarships for Rappahannock students. The date of the fund raiser is May 6, at the McNear’s farm on Keyser Run Road in Gid Brown Hollow. Come join us for a good time, good fellowship, wonderful food, and moderately good, live bluegrass music. Festivities start at 4:30 pm. Call 675-3619 for tickets and information. I hope to see you there. Such a shame Linda came into the house a couple of nights ago, visibly upset, almost stammering. She was clutching a handfiil of bluebird feathers and a part of one wing. We had been watching a beautiful pair of eastern bluebirds building a nest in our bluebird house, and, we hoped, laying eggs. We don’t see either of them, anymore. Ibday, I opened the nest, and there, getting cold, were five perfect little blue eggs. A snake would have eaten the eggs. A raccoon would not let five eggs go to waste. I took the nest down and dumped the contents in the I-" garbage. I put the bluebird house in the garage. Last year it was four little, starved baby bluebirds. This is the same result, two years in a row. Such a shame. Careful what you wish for Last time, I was fussing about how dry everything was. Well, the Big Guy Upstairs has stepped in, and we are much better off this week. The rain that began on the evening of that beautiful Easter Sunday measured 1.4 inches here at the house. Then, last weekend, and, unfortunately, just in time for the Fodderstack 10K Race, which I couldn’t make this year (1 just counted 193 runners going by the driveway), we got another 1.8 inches. The peas didn’t come up like I hoped they would, but I now have lots of little weeds to chop, and, at least, I have something to do in the garden, when it dries out a bit.

In the meantime In the meantime, the morels should benefit from the rain. We have had some several times, and they have been, as always, quite tasty. Linda and I found a number of “half free’ morels the last time out, and they, too, are very good. Until next time, be mindful of what you pick and eat out there.

-1 » y National Recycling Program recognizes county wide efforts When one lives in a small community within small county, it could be tempting and maybe even reasonable, to think there may not *j*e enough” computers, faxes, or copiers to be able to earn much money recycling. Cherl Crews, PTO mom and recycling leader for Rappahannock Elementary, explores every possible avenue to dispel that notion. This woman seemingly has the characteristics of being a “possibility thinker”, which has resulted in the PTO “for once having money in the bank”! What are Cherl’s methods? She has come up with a couple of original ideas that have produced this exciting change in circumstances. She has obtained in-depth support from the County. She has created a web link with the County that is also a chat line. So in addition to county services being listed, she has been able to include the recycling information for the school. She can write personal notes or advertisements about her school’s recycling efforts, and others can respond. There are two County Refuse Centers and she has placed a collection box and a CFK poster at each site. One of the sites is where the public drops off old printers, faxes, etc. and county employees open up the printers or other equipment, and retrieve the inkjets and larger cartridges for the school. They also collect used cell phones at both sites. Cherl approached the local newspaper to run a Press Release (see CFK home page to download) and that has produced fantastic business response. The bank, the library and other businesses, along with various county departments, are donating cartridges regularly now. She provides businesses with collection boxes if they want to be a drop-off location (there are several around town). She makes the lx>xes out of wooden crates that vegetables come in, that she gathered from a local restaurant. She decorates them with CFK stickers and has actually plastered the community with CFK stickers. Cherl likes stickers! They are on newspaper vending machines, in windows, anywhere and everywhere she can place them; including every Photo by Cherl Crews RAPPAHANNOCK RECYCLERS: Students at Rappahannock County Elementary School are learning just how valuable “used" stuff can be. Through the efforts of local parent Cherl Crews, their recycling efforts are paying off big time. homeroom at the school! Cherl has discovered in a huge way, that the more exposure the recycling program gets, the more the community supports the school; which equates to making a better life for the kids. Because they are doing so well with the Cartridges for Kids® program, the PTO has been able to provide things that fall outside the normal school budget. For example: they have bought a kiln to make ceramics that both the elementary and high school share, and they have bought much needed sheet music for the band. Cherl credits the teachers with being very involved and the kids for being totally enthusiastic about recycling. They set a goal for themselves to collect 1,000,000 tab tops to benefit the Ronald McDonald House, which they have just completed. It took them 2 Vi years. That’s quite a commitment for elementary school children. We feel these children are remarkable, as is the community for the vital support they provide!

Youth Empowerment Seminar (YES!) Hearthstone School, Sperryville, Virginia May 8-12 and May 15 A powerful course for teenagers to empower them to handle stress and negative emotions, as well as improve academic performance.! A unique personal development program for teenagers called Youth Empowerment Seminar (YES!) will be organized at Hearthstone School, from May 8-12 and May 15.. YES! is a youthdevelopment program of the Art of Living Foundation, an international educational and humanitarian non-profit organization active in over 146 countries throughout the world. This program teaches valuable skills that enable teens to handle stress and negative emotions in positive ways. YES! is taught in many countries worldwide and has received an enthusiastic response from parents, educators, and the youth themselves. The course has three main areas of focus: Stress-management/life skills, service projects, and human values. Various games and activities are used throughout the course, which are fun and enjoyable. Past course participants agree that the stress management/life skills component of the Youth Empowerment Seminar is a valuable complement to the normal school curricula. This portion of the program teaches students actual techniques for handling anger and other intense emotions, as well as scientifically supported tools for stress-reduction. The practices are very simple to do at home and only take 15 minutes. Many kids report an increased sense of well being, a happier outlook, greater clarity of mind, improved focus and improved sleep among other benefits. One high school student in a public school in LA writes, “I like that we do these type of yoga things and it calms our mind because as high school students we have a lot of stress on our hands, but with this class we can relax and calm down and when we go home we can do our homework and everything with a clear mind and not worry about anything.” Nelson, a 16 year old student from NYC writes, “”I enjoyed the course because I learned how to control my anger through meditation. I learned that by nature I am non-violent and that violence is not needed to survive. I also learned to socialize better and about five factors that will help me in my journey through life. Thanks!” For the service project portion of the course, students are supported and encouraged to begin a new service project for their community. Lastly, the human values component of the YES! Program features more than 15 knowledge points and processes which help teens maneuver their relationships and emotions with greater success, confidence, responsibility, cooperation, gratitude, peace, joy, thoughtfulness, self awareness, social awareness, optimism, and a deeper sense of connection. The course will be meeting for six sessions: Monday, May 8th through Friday, May 12th and Monday, Mayl5th, 2006. It will be after school 4-7 p.m. on all days except Friday, which will be 4 - 6 p.m. For more information and to register please contact Ankur Rupani at or call 540 - 547 - 2085.
