128th Year ... No. 18 Phone (540)675-3338 THURSDAY, MAY 4, 2006 Worldwide at timescommunity.com 50 CENTS Shannon Woodward cjxKa»rj*'«Hani AeianA/oA/ 2006 Brittany Nicole Cooke Junior Miss Rappahannock By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Among community events, few bring out as many people as a beauty contest where one’s children, grandchildren, and friends compete for the honor of recognition for their good looks and charm. The Miss Rappahannock 2006 Pageant, with 89 contestants in 11 categories wijs a perfect example and attracted an enthusiastic crowd of 300. The tense excitement of so many young women vying for beauty queen honors was electric. Watching them line up in preparation for their march across the stage, exchanging hugs, tips and good wishes was heartwarming as well. The moment everyone was waiting for—the crowning of “Miss Rappahannock 2006”—was a memorable event for all. As their activities and hopes for the future were read aloud by co-emcee Norman Getsinger, seven well-groomed and accomplished young women paraded across the stage as a panel of four judges took note of their poise and beauty. It almost seemed like a family affair when Shannon Renee Woodward of Little Washington was chosen as thin year’s reigning queen and then crowned by her sister, Sherri Woodward, last year’s Miss Rappahannock winner. Amidst tears and big smiles as the news sank in, Shannon Woodward was draped with her official sash and given a large bouquet of red roses and her trophy as Miss Rappahannock 2006. Joining Ms. Woodward in the honors for this category were Anna Victoria Owens f (First Runner Up) and Brittney I Michelle Lee (Second Runner Up).

Taylor will sit as Piedmont Supervisor until November, when he will run for the seat in a special election. Taylor is a lifelong Rappahannock resident who owns a cattle farm and a construction business, and serves on the board of the Rappahannock National Bank. He was chosen over fellow applicants Dr. Monira Rifaat and Kim Estes Baader. On the morning of May 1, applicants were each privately interviewed by the board, and Taylor was the board’s unanimous choice at their afternoon meeting. Of the three applicants . only Rifaat had prior experience in public office, serving as director from Rappahannock County to the Culpeper Soil and Water District. Both Rifaat and See TAYLOR, Page A2 Cannon’s roots are in Rappahannock . . By Anita L. Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer “They told me to put a good suit on him when I sent him over,” laughed Kitty Cannon as she smiled adoringly at her husband of 57 years, Alphaeus Cannon. Cannon was honored last Wednesday at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Rappahannock National Bank in Washington for his 44 years of service as a director. Surrounded by his peers, Cannon would occasionally break into a smile and joke with the other members that he has shared a seat with for nearly half a century. Comfortably at home that Friday, Cannon celebrated a birthday. He is 90 now. “That’s my watch dog,” chuckled Cannon, “as a peppery cock-apoo/poodle mix jumped excitedly from his lap to the couch and then into the arms of Kitty. Another watch dog of sorts was strutting in front of the house. “That’s Pete,” said Kitty. “They are the best watch dogs you could ever ask for.” Tete’ is a sleek, iridescent peacock with brilliant blue feathers weighted with dancing emerald eyes. “I used to have a dozen of them,” sighed Kitty, “but they were either hit by cars or eaten by foxes, so I stopped raising them. Pete is the only one left.” Pete pretty much has the run of the Cannon’s property and has been known to alight on their roof to startle possible “guests.” Cannon planned to celebrate his birthday in the place that he loves the most - his home - and he doesn’t see that changing anytime soon. “I wouldn’t leave Castleton if I didn’t have to,” said Cannon who was bom in a house just up the road from where he resides now. “My mother had me on the kitchen floor,” smiled Cannon who is the elder of two brothers. His younger brother, Ray, who is 88, lives nearby. Photo by Anita L. Sherman .

Cannon’s major departure from Rappahannock County was during World War El when he served with the US Army. Curiously, Cannon celebrated his 28th birthday, April 28, 1944, on the coast of England as part of Exercise Tiger, a top-secret practice for the DDay invasion to follow. Eight Navy LSTs carried troops who were to assault the coast of England. As they made their way through the icy waters of the English Channel, they were attacked by German torpedo boats. Two LSTs, 507 and 531 were sunk and LST 289 was damaged. President Eisenhower ordered that the tragedy be kept under wraps. Over 700 young men were lost. Cannon was aboard 515 and survived but his recollections of that day are vivid. “I stayed on top but many of the men were locked below. They had no way to escape,” said Cannon. “It was a hell of a mess that morning. Many of them were lost out in the water and died of exposure. It was so cold.” Cannon survived his stint overseas and returned to Rappahannock County where he was a rural carrier for 46 years. He picked up an ancient letter and his eyes sparkled as he pointed to the comer. “See, only $.04 cents then, I can remember when it was only $.03,” he chuckled. His salary amounted to about $200 a month but it was enough to care for his wife and two daughters, Marge and Louise. “I never did borrow a penny,” said Cannon proudly. “I’d save for what 1 wanted and then buy it.” With Cannon running the mail and driving school buses and working at a nearby (then) service station See CANNON, Page A3 Beautiful in bronze R.H.

I Police & Court Briefs Two missing persons Rappahannock County had an unusual rash of missing persons cases , with two elderly men going missing within a week of one another. Luckily, both men were found unharmed. The first, on Sunday, April 23, was missing for about 8 hours, and was found by Rappahannock County Deputy Chris Williams in an abandoned old house near his home. Williams had recently attended a special training course on Alzheimer’s patients, and knew that they often seek out their childhood homes. When Williams discovered that the missing man had been bom in the abandoned house, he decided to search it, and found the missing man, who was unharmed. The second man went missing in Shenandoah National Park on Saturday April 29, and wasn’t found until Sunday. This second man went missing after heading out to go fishing. A search party of almost 200 people were searching for him, but he was not found until Sunday evening, he was unharmed. Accused sex offender appeals bond ruling Samuel A. Marvin, arrested April 7, on charges of aggravated sexual battery and indecent liberties with a minor, will go before the Rappahannock County Circuit court for a bond hearing on May 4. Marvin was originally denied bond but has appealed the decision. The charges against the 46-year-old Sperryville house painter are known to stem from Marvin’s relationship with a six-year-old girl, and were brought against Marvin by the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office based on information from Rappahannock County Social Services. This incident is till under investigation by the RCSO and anyone with information concerning Samuel Marvin is encouraged to call the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office at (540) 675-5300. Anyone with information about child abuse should call the Rappahannock County Department of Social Services at (540)675-3313 or call the Virginia Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800552-7096. — Compiled by Monty Thyloe Taylor From Page A1 Baader were philosophical about not being appointed, and both believe Taylor will do a good job. Rifaat, a farmer and 20-year-resident of the Piedmont District, believes 'that Taylor was selected “based on [the supervisors] comfort level with him, based on their perception of his ability to represent the Piedmont District.” Rifaat has said that she remains unsure about running against Taylor in the November special election. Baader, a Director of Inventory Control for Plow and Hearth and the daughter of the late Chairman Estes, is more definite about her future plans. “I am going to run, and I think I would do a great job for Piedmont District,” declared Baader. “I didn’t do this on a whim.” Appointments delayed Although Taylor was appointed at the May 1 meeting, he will not take his seat for the Piedmont District until the BOS June meeting. Until then, several Rappahannock County government appointments associated with the late Chairman Estes and the Piedmont District will remain open until June. Most notable among these is the Piedmont seat on the county planning commission, held by Thomas Junk until his term expired on May 3. The BOS decided to delay a vote on Junk’s seat until June in deference to Taylor, and the Piedmont District will not be represented at the May planning commission meeting. Junk is eligible to serve another term. Other appointments left vacant by the passing of the prolific Chairman Estes include positions on the Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority, the Rappahannock County Fire Levy Board, and the Workforce Investment Council. The BOS has indicated that these vacancies will be addressed at their June meeting. School Budget The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors adopted the fiscal year 2007 school budget of $11,732,992 at their May 1 meeting. This figure is almost five percent higher than last year’s budget, but was well received by the BOS, who praised School Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell for cutting costs from the budget before presenting it to the BOS. “He stole our thunder this year,” said Supervisor Roger Welch. Although all the Supervisors seemed satisfied with the School Budget, Board members did ask questions about the amount of school money left over from the 2006 budget According to Dr. Chappell, the Rappahannock County school system did not have as much leftover funds due to “greater than expected expenditures” associated with rising fuel costs. Also on Supervisor’s minds was the cost of football. “I’m not opposed to athletics, but football seems to be costing us a lot of money,” said Welch. According to Welch, RCHS football was designed to pay for itself with ticket fees, but so far had not accomplished this. Dr. Chappell agreed to track the costs associated with RCHS football for the BOS, but pointed out that ticket sales “had not been excessive for an 0-10 team.” The 2007 School budget was adopted unanimously. VDOT update Virginia Department of Transportation Residency Administrator David Cubbage informed the BOS about planned VDOT maintenance of a bridge on Rt 621, Ludasill Mill Road. The work will include a 60-day road closure. In other bridge news, according to Cubbage VDOT completed work on Tapp’s Ford Bridge 24 days early and under budget. Cubbage also asked the BOS to think about the future of the steel girder bridge in Sperryville that crosses Route 522, which is due for replacement. “We want to focus on aesthetics real early in the process.,” said Cubbage. Cubbage also introduced the BOS to Rappahannock’s new Area Headquarters Superintendent Walter “Richie” Lillard, recently hired after a long search. Lillard has over 13 years experience with VDOT. It's about living well. Town of Washington Election results The Washington, Virginia Town Council elections were held on May 2. All the incumbent seat holders ran unopposed, and all will maintain their positions. There were no write-in votes. Mayor Eugene Leggett- 31 votes. Treasurer Jerry Goebel- 30 votes.

Headwaters seeks new executive director By Anita L. Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer Headwaters, Rappahannock County’s public education foundation, is looking for a new leader. “We’re going to miss Paige, she’s done a fabulous job and brought a lot of professionalism to the job,” said Headwaters Chairman of the Board Maiy Anne Biggs. Paige Coombs, who has served as the executive director of Headwaters, for the past two years is resigning and the search is on for her replacement. Biggs explained that the climate in the community is ripe with potential candidates and that they have already received several inquiries. “It’s all about a strong partnership between the community and the schools and that has been strengthened over the years, there’s probably not a better time for us to be looking for a replacement.” Coombs has mixed feelings about leaving. “Charlie and I are ready for a new project,” smiled the effervescent Coombs. That project involves a move to Connecticut and the restoration of a 1700s New England home. “There just aren’t any historic New England homes in Rappahannock,” said Coombs, who along with her husband, completely restored a log home which garnered national recognition when it was featured in “Early American Life Magazine.” For the past 20 years, Rappahannock County has been home to Coombs and for more than half of those years, she has dedicated hundreds of hours volunteering in the public school system. When she took on the job of executive director the position had been elevated to a full-time job. With the monies that Headwaters has acquired through grants and community donations, sev eral key programs have been initiated and are flourishing. “I’m very proud of the programs that have been put in place,” said Coombs who touted the work of Miranda Hope who serves as the college advisor at Rappahannock County High School and who was instrumental in getting “Next Step” off the ground. “I’m so, so proud of the Next Step program,” exclaimed Coombs who sees it as an excellent example of the cooperation that can be fostered through programs that share a common thread - benefits for young people. With the passion and commitment that Hope has brought to the program, more graduating seniors and their parents can navigate the often confusing ‘next step’ of applying for financial aid, filling out FAFSA forms, looking for the right college or finding that trade school which will fit the niche for that student’s continued education. The Farm-To-Table Program is another example of cooperation intensified between Headwaters, the school system and, in this case, the farming community. “It’s been a nice long partnership,” re. marked Coombs and through continued support from the Cole Foundation and the county’s Farm Bureau along with individual contributors like Mitzi Young and Joyce Abell students are learning in a ‘hands on’ way the excitement and benefits of taking produce - that they’ve planted and nurtured themselves - literally to the table. Special tastings at the schools, recipes, food donated to the Meals on Wheels program and recently participating in Waterpenny Farm’s plant sale are just a few of the ways that this program is proving its success. Trista Scheuerlein teaches classes at the school in horticulture and exploratory agriculture and orchestrates this program that is growing by leaps and bounds. The Starfish Mentoring Program matches caring adults with young children who could use some additional support. Oftentimes these relationships will last for years and range from some extra help with homework to trips to museums, music lessons or cheers from the sidelines at a sporting event. It amounts to another concerned adult in a child’s life and that relationship can have a huge impact for that child’s future. Coombs gets visibly excited when she talks about the success of Headwater’s minigrants. “I can remember in ‘97, we had two grants totally about $1,100,” said Coombs. “Now, we have $90,000 in grants, think of that.” While Headwaters also awards monies for teachers to take a special course or attend a special seminar or conference through their complementary staff development program, the mini-grants generally go toward direct purchases of equipment like Book Buddy Totes. “Sometimes it’s not always easy for a working parent to read to their child eveiy night,” explained Coombs, “that’s where the Book Buddies come in.” “It’s a tote that has a tape recorder, tape and accompanying book. The child knows how to use it and can listen and read-along by themselves.” More recently the third grade class received PDA’s - personal digital assistants - that allow them to interact with curriculum in a fun and fascinating way using very high tech mini-computers. Coombs recalled that several years ago, then kindergarten teacher Marti Cannon was anxious to get a set of wooden blocks for her young charges. “Blocks are great,” said Coombs, “they help with spatial learning and creativity.” Cannon received her blocks and when she retired she bequested them to another kindergarten class. “They’re still in use,” smiled Coombs. First Thursday Headwaters started ten years ago through the coordinating efforts of several moms including Rosa Crocker, Susan McCarthy, Kathryn Treanor, Jan Makela, Vinnie Carney and Ellen Adams. Called “First Thursday” it grew into what it is today - a vital foundation that serves the school community by strengthening partnerships to make things happen. Headwater’s annual fundraiser - The Taste of Rappahannock - is held in September. “You’re coming, aren’t you,” queried Biggs of Coombs. Coombs grimaced with a look of uncertainty. “Depends if our load of wood has arrived for the new house,” and then quickly added,” the planning is already underway for this year’s “taste” and I can tell you that there are some fantastic auction items.” “I will miss this tremendously,” admitted Coombs, “it’s bittersweet.” As Coombs prepares for a new chapter in her life with a new project underway, Biggs is optimistic that a dynamic successor will be found. “Headwaters takes things beyond what the school budget can afford,” said Biggs, “to give our students the very best that we can in this community. We’re hoping to have someone in place by the end of May,” added Biggs. If you’re interested: Headwaters is looking for a well-organized self starter who has skills in community fund raising, high level communication, planning, marketing and diplomacy and who preferably has experience working with boards of directors, non-profit fundraising and budgeting. Salary range is $35-40,000.

Cannon was named to the Board of Directors in July 1962. He still has letters that he received from James W. Fletcher and W.D. Cannon (he thinks a distant relative) congratulating him on his appointment. Cannon graduated from Spenyville High School in 1937. “There were ten in our graduating class,” laughed Cannon, “six boys and four girls.” Of those ten, only three remain alive. “Mary (TBannon, she’s 89, and lives in Warrenton,” said Cannon, “and Ann Boyd Williams lives in Alexandria. That’s it.” The phone rang. It was Cannon’s daughter Marge wishing him a happy birthday and wondering if he and Kitty would like to go out for dinner to celebrate his birthday. ‘‘No, I want to stay home,” said Cannon. “No restaurant food is as good as I’ll get here.” “My mother named me Alphaeus but she never wanted me to be called ‘AT, reminisced Cannon. “She said it was a name from the Bible.” “Well, it may be a name from uie Diuie uui it uutj&u t memi that you’re always good,” snickered Kitty whose maiden name is Mida Kathleen Estes. “A lot has changed,” said Kitty Cannon. “Someone’s bought the land across the way but I don’t know who. I really don’t know a lot of people now.” With many of their friends and relations getting older or deceased, the Cannons have each other and their spot in Rappahannock County and for both of them this is good. At 90, Cannon can still navigate the rooms of his cozy home. “Oh, it’s my knees,” he complained as he strongly clasped his cane. “I get out of wind.” “I’ll fix him whatever he wants for his birthday meal,” smiled Kitty, “and perhaps I can get Pete to pose for you on another visit. Happy Birthday Alphaeus and congratulations on your retirement! “Pride in accomplishment is truly its own reward.” Email the reporter at asherman@timespapers.com “The Gold Standard in Equestrian Construction ” Toll-free: 1-888-GOLD-CUP (1-888465-3287) wtw 1-8M^0UKW Ineorporated ] SygTsi^ ™ - Marshall, VirginiaFencing, Barns, Sheds ~Va.

Minutes later, they unanimously appointed Tom Taylor as interim supervisor for the Piedmont District. This board does almost everything unanimously, they work together well. Bryant Lee, Ron Frazier, Bob Anderson. They are all Rappahannock County fixtures, men who have lived in this singular place a long time and understand each other well. So is Tom Taylor. Taylor is a lifelong resident of Rappahannock County, a farmer, business owner and is well known to most Rapp denizens In all probability, he will slide seamlessly into his place on the Board. That will be good for Piedmont District. But is this good for Rappahannock? In choosing Taylor, the board passed over two female candidates, Kim Estes Baader and Monira Rifaat. This was a chance for the board to give itself a dissenting voice, a devil’s advocate, a viewpoint outside their comfort zone. Baader has the same lifelong Rappahannock County street creed as Taylor. She knows the same ‘ people and hears the same gossip. Rifaat is a contrast to both of them. Her political presence in the county was felt long before this interim supervisor process began, and she was the only applicant to have held a public office. Rifaat is also different from the men on the board. She’s only lived in Rappahannock twenty years, and brings an outspoken viewpoint to the political discussions she frequently joins. However, Rifaat is also a farmer, and as dedicated to Rappahannock’s traditional way of life as anyone. Would it have been such a stretch for the board to appoint Baader or even Rifaat? Is a discussion in which all the participants see the issue exactly the same even worth having? The special election for the Piedmont District is this November. If the voters of Piedmont district choos^ Tom Taylor, the board will continue on, agreeable and united, and that might not be a bad thing. Until then, there ‘s still one more chance to give the board an exciting new look. Letters to the editor The Rappahannock News welcomes Letters to the Editor from its readers as a forum for discussion of local public affairs subjects. WRITE: Letters to the Editor, P.O.

He sleuthed out that they are a newly-started “Flint Hill Ladies” lunch bunch. They were delighted that they’ve “been discovered.” Letters Thanks, Headwaters! We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Headwaters Educational Foundation for their generous assistance and funds allowing us to purchase needed technology for our classrooms at Rappahannock County Elementary School. With their help we were able to purchase a SMARTboard Cart with projector and an electronic Classroom Jeopardy game. These can be used across all grade levels throughout the elementary school to enhance learning and preparation for the Standards of Learning. The SMARTboard is an interactive electronic white board on which students can manipulate data, figures, art, maps, story elements, and numerous other activities and lessons. The data projector and cart were needed so the SMARTboard can be utilized by teachers of Kindergarten through Seventh Grade. Presently, some teachers are collaborating across grade levels in order to ascertain and share the benefits of this new technology. Additionally, instructional staff have noticed more student enthusiasm, interest, and the ability to focus when content knowledge is being presented in class through this technology. With the electronic version of the Jeopardy Game students have also shown excitement and enthusiasm. The students are able to watch and participate in a game that is nearly identical to the nightly version of the Jeopardy game show. It comes complete with scoreboard, music, and questions. Questions are arranged in order from easy to difficult with each having a monetary or point value. Wireless handheld controls enable student participation throughout the game. This game also includes double jeopardy questions and a final Jeopardy round where students can use their mathematical abilities to wager points. With the software included in this game teachers are able to incorporate their curriculum to prepare students for grade level Standards of Learning and other instructional assessments. Again we would like to offer a gracious public thank you to the Headwaters Educational Foundation for their generosity. It has truly made education fun and rewarding for our students. Sincerely, Joyce Wharton, Fourth Grade teacher Linda Welk Second Grade and Special Education Teacher., RCES Thanks, Wakefield neighbors Many thanks to the neighbors of Wakefield Country Day School for welcoming our children as they delivered their May baskets. On Monday morning, students from grades 1, 2, 3, and 4 went in small groups with volunteer parents, knocked on neighbors’ doors and present ed them with small baskets full of fresh flowers and cards in honor of the first day of May. We appreciate our neighbors’ cooperation in continuing this May Day tradition. Sincerely, Kathleen F. Grove Head of School, Wakefield Country Day School American Cancer Society offers mothers of all ages help with breast cancer For the past two generations, breast cancer has been a prominent subject in the lives o: American women. The disease has touched many grandmothers, mothers, and daughters during the past 40 years. In 2006, women are more aware ol breast cancer than ever before. Despite this powerful knowledge, more than 6,080 women in Virginia will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and more than 1,170 will die from breast cancer. On Mother’s Day, we must take a moment to remember the grandmothers, mothers, and daughters who have died of breast cancer, and also celebrate the lives of so many women who have survived this disease. “While more women are aware of breast cancer screening guidelines, we must continue to spread the word to our grandmothers, mothers, friends, and even complete strangers,” said Patricia P. Hoge, RN, Ph.D., Chief Mission Officer for the American Cancer Society. “Early detection, such as mammography and breast self exams are especially valuable in saving lives and increasing treatment options.” Reach to Recovery is a free American Cancer Society program that matches breast cancer survivors with women who are newly diagnosed with the disease. Look Good.. .Feel Better is a free program that helps women deal with their appearance after cancer treatments. Breast cancer is the secondleading cause of cancer death in Fun stuff Children got a chance to make masks during a craft session at the recent Earth Day celebration which happened despite the rain. Washington’s community park got spiffed up thanks to some caring residents including Greg Williams from Williams Tree Service who donated wood chips for the park’s ‘clean-up’ project. women, behind lung cancer. In 2006, the American Cancer Society estimates that more than 214,640 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and nearly 41,430 will die from the disease. However, breast cancer mortality rates have declined significantly in recent years. The decreases are the result of both earlier detection and improved treatment. Breast cancer questions and answers Q: Who is at risk for developing breast cancer? A: Every woman is at risk, and her risk increases with age. More than three-quarters of all breast cancers occur in women over 50. A 70-year-old woman is almost twice as likely to develop breast cancer as a 50year-old woman. Q: How can a woman protect herself against breast cancer? A: The best protections are early detection and prompt treatment. Women should have annual mammograms beginning at age 40. Between the ages of 20 and 39, women should see their physicians for regular breast exams at least every three years. In addition, all women 20 and over should do a monthly breast self-exam. There are no known causes of breast cancer, but researchers are investigating the possible roles of heredity, environment, lifestyle, and diet. Q: What are the signs and symptoms of breast cancer? A: Symptoms include any lump, thickening, swelling, dimpling, skin irritation, distortion or retraction of the nipple, scaling, or pain. A mammogram can pick up changes in the breast that might indicate cancer long before it can be felt. Q: What if breast cancer is found? A: A woman diagnosed with breast cancer should thoroughly review her treatment options with her doctor before making a decision about therapy. Treatment for early breast cancer can include lumpectomy (limited surgery which removes the cancer but not the entire breast) followed by radiation therapy, or mastectomy (removal of the entire breast). Additional treatments may include chemotherapy or hormone therapy. Q: What are the survival rates for breast cancer? A: Survival depends on the stage of breast cancer at the time of diagnosis. Eighty-five out of every 100 women diagnosed with breast cancer will survive at least five years. The chance of survival is much greater if the disease has not spread.

Soggy runners but no soaked spirits in this year’s 10-K Fodderstack race By Jean Lillard Special to the Rappahannock News Congratulations, Susannah McNear! Susannah is the second Rappahannock resident, male or female to win the overall category and the Eva Smith Memorial Award. In 2003, Monika Bracken won the overall and the Eva Smith Memorial award.

Silence can hurt Unreported sexual abuse discussed at community forum By Alexandra Bogdanovic Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sometimes silence is anything but golden, according to speakers at a community forum on Sexual Predators, held at the Culpeper County Library April 27. Joyce Allan, who wrote “Because I Love You: The Silent Shadow of Child Sexual Abuse,” was the keynote speaker. Allan explained that the book was based on her own experience: Her father sexually abused her “regularly” beginning when she was 3 years old. She said he also abused her children. “While he was molesting me, my father would tell me that he was doing it because he loved me,” Allan recalled. “I loved my father. People who molest kids are people we all know, love and respect. It is our silence that is betraying our children. We cannot afford to be silent.” Allan said she spoke to 150 people who knew her dad when she was doing research for the book. Many of them were family members. She said some of them knew what her father did. But she was astounded to discover how many of them never said anything about it. “In one extended family, 18 people kept silence about sexual abuse,” Allan told the audience. “In one extended family, there were 13 identified victims and Forum PARTICIPANTS Each panelist at the Community Forum on Sexual Predators presented information about what his or her organization does and offered advice about how to prevent child sexual abuse. • Culpeper County Commonwealth’s Attorney Gary Close • Virginia State Police Lt. Tom Turner • Lisa Peacock, director of Social Services in Culpeper • Beth Wayland Tierney, executive director of the SAW! Crisis Center three perpetrators. Two of the perpetrators were also victims of sexual abuse.” Allan found out that her relatives kept quiet for dozens of different reasons. She said her mother “did everything right.” She went to a social worker as soon as she found out what her husband had done. But the social worker told Allan’s mom New laws target sexual offenders By Alexandra Bogdanovic Rappahannock News Staff Writer. - While speaking at a Community Forum on Sexual Predators, Attorney General Robert McDonnell said he’s confident that new laws will help combat violent crimes against children. “I think this Oegislation) will allow children to be children without fear of being victimized by sexual predators,” McDonnell said. “I think it will save lives.” Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine signed the legislation last week, to take effect July I. The new laws will permit tougher sentencing of violent sex offenders; better management of the sex offender registry; easier and more comprehensive tracking of sex offenders; and enhancements to the civil commitment process. “The most important thing that these new laws do is address recidivism,” McDonnell noted. “Sex offenders are among the most dangerous and violent criminals. They have to be taken off the street" Once the laws take effect, a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life will be handed down to anyone convicted of a first offense of “rape, forcible sodomy and object sexual penetration in the commission of an abduction, breaking and entering, or serious bodily injury to a child under 13.” A mandatory life sentence will be imposed for a second conviction. Furthermore, offenders convicted of serious sex crimes will face three years of mandatory supervised probation. They will be required to wear GPS monitoring devices and will be subjected to unsupervised court probation for life. There wfil also be increases in penalties for violations of the sex offender registry (including mandatory tracking for registry violators); additional re-registration requirements for offenders convicted of registry violations; and requirements that aU registered sex offenders, not just those who are deemed sexuaUy violent, wiU be on the public Web site. The new laws stipulate that registered sex offenders must provide specific information and material, including a mandatory work address, mandatory DNA sample and mandatory physical address. Offenders must also provide an updated photograph every two years. Annual “spot checks” on registered sex offenders will be required. Mechanisms to promote awareness of the sex offender registry will be implemented, including mandatory school notification, parental information at the start ;3 of school and mandatory child day-care center notifications. Currently, Virginia is one of 16 states that allows for the civil commitment of sexually violent predators. The new laws would allow for increases in the “number and type of predicate sexual offenses screened for possible civil commitment” They would include: kidnapping with intent to defile or rape; aggravated sexual battery of any victim regardless of age; carnal knowledge of a child; and attempts to commit rape, forcible sodomy, object sexual penetration and aggravated sexual battery. not to talk to her daughter about it because it would be “too upsetting.” “My mother and I didn’t talk about my abuse for 40 years,” Allan said. Other members of Allan’s family didn’t talk about it because it was humihating, or because they feared it would hurt someone’s feelings, or because it would be too painful. She said her experience happened long before anyone became aware that adults abuse children. “But my story isn’t that unusual. This happens in one out of every four families,” Allan said. “And in most cases, the child is abused by a parent or stepparent.” The expert panel Lt. Ibm Tlimer, who also spoke at the forum, has been with the Virginia Department of State Police for more than 40 years. He now manages the agency’s sex offender registry, which was established in 1994, and a Web site, established four years later, that lists sex offenders. Although the system has been effective, it hasn’t lived up to its full potential, T\imer said. He hopes that new laws that will became effective July 1 will improve his staffs ability to track sex offenders within the state. (See sidebar.) Warrenton crisis center The Warrenton-based SAWI Crisis Center was founded in 1999 to meet the needs of sex abuse victims. It now serves people in Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Green counties. Executive director Beth Wayland Tierney said, “We do some intervention. We have a hot line staffed by dedicated volunteers where we provide information for victims. About 40 percent of the cases we handle involve kids. About 25 percent of them involve adults who were molested as kids.” Also at the forum, Culpeper County Commonwealth’s Attor ney Gary Close advised parents to be aware of everyone who comes into contact with their children. He also encouraged them to “try to keep the lines of communication open” so children are willing to talk to them if something does happen. “You can’t be afraid to intervene on behalf of your children,” Lisa Peacock, director of Social Services in Culpeper added. “If you see someone who looks out of place at your child’s soccer game or another activity, don’t be afraid to ask who they are and what they are doing there. Nothing scares a sex offender more than when someone is paying attention to what they are doing.” It’s not just who you know (but that helps, too) Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; And...; And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Urias; And, well you get the picture... but to pick up the story a little later: And Francis Thornton III begat William, and John, and Mary (and Francis IV and Elizabeth and Mildred and George)... And Augustine Washington begat (THE) George and Jane...and Jane married John Thornton... Should the genealogy within the Book of Genesis be expanded in some future age to include the bloodlines of Rappahannock County, it would be of no surprise to find the latter among the amendments. A perusal of this hypothetical revision would also indicate that, by 1700 A.D. at least, family sizes had not decreased much since the time of Abraham. It might also not go unnoticed that the Old Testament folks had it all over us modems in terms of longevity at 800 years or so; our nominal three score and ten seem puny by comparison. But let’s get real. Large families require big bucks to rear. And what good is a super-sized life expectancy without equally colossal resources to support ones self in the manner to which one might become accustomed by say, age 377. Well, one could always work to acquire the riches to fund all those kiddies together with the finer things in life, but that W word is soooo boooooring. There must be a better way! One-nice alternative method is tried and true, but it’s not for everyone, Clyde. It has always been more than a little helpful to have the good fortune to be bom into the right family. Good luck in one’s genes can be worth significantly more than the compounded value of the proverbial college education. Now that ain’t workin’, that’s the way to do it! If family heritage was and is one traditional means to wealth and privilege the world over, a second equally well-proven path to the pot-o-gold in early America was the nurturing of connections with those in positions of power (Hum, maybe this applies to the present as well.) But it was not just any power that mattered in colonial times. The real money was quite literally in king-sized real estate handouts. What you think England, France, and Spain were fighting over in the New World, red rider? Billions of acres at zero cost to whichever royal court could claim and control the territory (and subsequently disperse it to ‘worthy’ court favorites). Combine pedigree and a personal grant of maybe 5 million acres (nice round number, don’t you think?) of Eastern North America from Kings Charles I and II of England and we’re talking not just garden variety riches, chump change really; we’re getting into Scrooge McDuck dynasty territory.

Located at the Intersection of Route 211 and 522, Sperryville, Virginia 540-987-8377 the Northern Neck Proprietary to seven of their favorites at court. And this Proprietary did contain all the land that is now Rappahannock County. And by 1670, one Lord Culpeper (yes, it is named after him, but that was before all the toney restaurants and Target’ came to town) had control of much of this vast area but had not done much with it. And this Lord begat a daughter, Catherine, who married another Lord, one Fairfax, the Fifth. And lo, my little ones, this latter Lord begat (by Catherine) a son, Thomas, who was called Lord Fairfax VI (just to be consistent). But by the time little Tbrnmy came into his rightful inheritance, a lot of other people were interested in his great-grand daddy’s Proprietary. Most of this vast tract was wilderness, the wild west of its day. So lots of real estate speculators masquerading as gentleman explorers were busily patenting large chunks of the region for themselves. Land Patents are a charming aspect of our history. Definition of the term is hard to locate but these patents do seem to be the gentleman’s equivalent of the king’s declaration of continental ownership, just on a (slightly) smaller scale: “I do declare this 2,000 odd acres to be mine, free and clear” or something similar. Alexander Spotswood, who was governor of Virginia in the early 1700s, generated a great deal of this interest. He and his associates had acquired interest (via patents) in lands around Germanna, west of Fredericksburg, land that fell under the Fairfax Proprietary. In 1716 he took a little trip to the Blue Ridge and beyond, a gentile adventure really, complete with lots of good food and drink. That now legendary journey was to determine just what other potential riches this far country might hold. The gentlemen who accompanied him became known as Spotswood’s Knights of the Golden Horseshoe (according to legend, each received a miniature gold horseshoe as a remembrance of the quest). The keepsake was altogether fitting, only a gilded For Sale sign might have been more appropriate. For although the quest for land up to and including the Blue Ridge was already on in other quarters, the Spotswood expedition opened the floodgates of interest that continues even today. Some believe that one of the Knights was Francis Thornton HI (FT3) who lived at Fall Hill in Fredericksburg. FT3 had been acquiring piedmont land even before the Spotswood trek. Whether he purchased land from the Northern Neck Proprietary or just patented it on his own is not clear. What is certain is that FT3 saw the land that was to become Rappahannock and found that it was good. In the process he left some enduring marks on the County. By the mid 1700s, he had acquired essentially all of what we now know as FT Valley. By no means a retiring fellow, FT3 lent his name to numerous local landmarks besides the valley: a river, a mansion, a mountain gap, a rock (probably named for daughter Mary) and a great little eating establishment in Spenyville, just to list a few. He built large homes here for two of his sons and a daughter, Mary, built another mansion on some of the family land here following her marriage. The homes and their respective beneficiaries were Champeplain (Mary), Montpelier (William), and Thornton Hill (John), the latter two structures still very much in use today. John (of Thornton Hill) married Jane Histories & Mysteries Judy and John Tole evrgreenl@earthfink.net Washington thus accomplishing a magnificent hat trick of life events: bom well, married well, connect well. And connection not just to any famous and powerful figure; he won the good buddy sweepstakes, my little ones, linking up with the Father of the Country. For you see, my children, Jane was the daughter of Augustine Washington by his second wife, Anne. By happy coincidence (for the Thorntons), Augustine was also the father of the first George W. (begat via Mary Ball Washington). This did not hurt the Thornton’s progress in real estate or other endeavors. William’s son, Dr. Philip Thornton married Caroline Homassel, who was of French descent, in 1812. Before her marriage, Caroline was a frequent visitor at President James Madison’s Montpelier, giving some credence to the possibility that she chose the name for the Thornton home. Tradition also indicates that when Louis Philippe, future king of France, was in exile in America in the early 1800s, Caroline entertained him at Montpelier. Philip, a member of the Virginia Legislature, was also a physician to Edgar Allan Poe. With an interlude in the late 1800s through early 1900s and until very recently, Montpelier remained in the Thornton family. Thornton Hill even today retains a familial connection to GW.

School News from around the county Hearthstone Students from the fourth and fifth grades at Hearthstone recently performed for a Senior Center in Warrenton, Virginia. They played music and sang for the audience, then attended lunch and interviewed several of the senior citizens. The students wrote their own interview questions, paired up with a senior and asked questions. The students enjoyed hearing about when and where people were bom, where they went to school and what they liked best about school, and other questions about what life was Idee years before these children were bom. The fourth and fifth grades also recently took a walking tour of Sperryville with local historian, Mr. Russell. Mr. Russell created a booklet with photographs of area homes and buildings, and historical information about the town of Sperryville. This field trip was part of the class’s lesson block on Early American Histoiy, and they enjoyed learning about their local history as well as the American Revolution and the Civil War. The high school students recently attended a college fair, and enjoyed visiting with different college representatives as they consider the next step in their education and career decisions. Hearthstone School will hold the Annual Poetry Reading for Rappahannock County Students in its community room on Saturday, May 13 beginning at 7:00 pm. All students in Rappahannock County are invited to participate, from the public schools, other private schools and home schoolers. The evening will include a “coffee house” atmosphere with snacks and drinks for the audience to enjoy while listening to the children reciting both original poetry and also poems by famous or favorite authors. Please call Hearthstone’s school office at 540-987-9212 for more information or if your child would like to participate in this event. Wakefield Country Day School Students honor their grandparents This past week, over fifty grandparents visited WCDS for “Grandparents Day,” enjoying a breakfast buffet in the library, a brief presentation and question and answer period led by Head of School Kathleen Grove. Visitors were also treated to a tour of the school, “official photos” taken with grandchildren, visits to classrooms, and participation in the regular Wednesday Assembly, which included special presentations by several grades. The second grade students presented an acrostic of what they liked about GRANDPARENTS: “G” is good to me, “R” is reads to me,..., followed by the recitation of the fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper. The third grade class followed with a choral reading of a poem about grandparents, and seventh grade student John Holsinger recited the poem,“0 Captain, My Captain,” which had been memorized by the entire seventh grade. Mrs. Grove also distributed letters recently received from the Westhill students who last month visited WCDS from Mexico City; presented a Certificate of Appreciation from the Red Cross to the Student Government for their hurricane relief efforts; and recognized the Wakefield participants in the recent Johns Hopkins Talent Search. John Morgan Christoph, William Mullany, Christine Pankow, and Timothy Pressler all took the SATs as sixth and seventh grade students, with John Morgan doing so well that he is receiving state recognition and will take a course in robotics this summer through Johns Hopkins. Seniors rewarded for their hard work On Thursday,' April 27th, Mrs. Grove and her husband Larry treated the senior class to a performance at the Kennedy Center. Also accompanied by their college advisor Marsha Dowell, the students saw the matinee performance of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales by the Royal Shakespeare Theater, stopping for lunch along the way. Also on the 27th, two seniors from Flint Hill, Dorian Matthews and Allison Russo, were honored at the Winchester/Frederick Regional Chamber Youth Leadership Recognition Luncheon. The event is held annually with the theme, Scholarships Update May 1 — The Common Application for Local Scholarships is due.

New Community College Scholarship for Rappahannock County graduating seniors A new college scholarship , Ask the Arborist I* By Jamie Wood IS. A. Certified Arborist A Walk in Your Garden Can Be Healthy for You AND Your 'Dees Spring is the time when plants come to life. It is also the time that insects and diseases get started. On your spring walks through your garden enjoy the blooms and new growth but also look for signs of unwelcome visitors on your trees and shrubs. Look for deformed foliage, dark or white spots or growths on leaves and twigs or any other unusual appearance. Treating for pest problems early may be the only w ay to keep them in check as the season progresses. An Integrated Pest Management Program such as Bartlett's Monitor 1PM program is a great way to get a professional on your property on a routine basis looking for signs and symptoms of insects and diseases and then treating them with the safest, most effective materials available if problems are found. Preventative plant health care is the best way to assure a quality landscape in the spring and throughout the season.

Why do they call it that? When the 911 emergency call system was installed in the county, everyone needed a specific address, so the emergency services could be dispatched to a specific location. That’s a good thing. How some of the current road names were chosen is somewhat less clear, at least to me. I know the people doing it gave their best effort and some of the people living on a certain lane wanted their little part of paradise to called, “Sweetheart Lane,” or some such, and that is all well and good. But, it could be that for some of the names, a bit more research could have been done. For instance, Rt. 629 above Flint Hill was named Bean Hollow Road, and it is true that many of the locals called it that. It is not clear, at all, as to why it was called that. On some old maps we see it referred to as Beahm Hollow, and some believe that that was a cartographer’s error or misprint. Certainly, there were, and probably are, families in the county with the name of Beahm, but there are no records that place them prominently in this hollow. It has been assumed that because of the map maker’s error, and local folk not being smart enough to know that was wrong, they just started calling it Bean Hollow. That, at least, is what my Uncle Clyde told me, and he lived his entire adult life in Flint Hill. Historically, this hollow was Clark Hollow, and it was properly named for the prominent and dominant family who lived there and owned over 2,000 acres on the north slope of Rappa-’ hannock Peak. and the adjoining hollow. That family was headed by Adaway Clark and Henriette Bessie (Duke) Clark, both bom in 1815. Their home place can still be found on the left side of Rt. 629, near the end of the county maintained road. They had 10 children, and many of them grew up and settled in this area. One of their children, Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com Susan Catherine Clark, married George Washington Pullen, and they lived just down the road, on the other ’side of the Jordan River, on property now owned by Joel Tate. The chimneys are still there. One of their children was named Ida Bessie, perhaps in honor of Susan’s mother. On Thursday, January 31, 1952, the Rappahannock News had, on the front page an article announcing the 50th wedding anniversary of William Strother Brady and Ida Bessie Pullen. The article read, in part: “A country newspaper published about this time 50 years ago would have carried an item something like this: “Mr. and Mrs. George Washington Pullen have announced the marriage Of their daughter, Ida Bessie, to William Strother Brady. The marriage took place January 29, J902, at the home of the bride’s parents in Clark Hollow, with the Rev. Mr. Clark, Methodist minister of Flint Hill, officiating.” So, there you have it. It is Clark Hollow, and no better authority exists than the Rappahannock News, and the News says, that, as of January 1052, it was Clark Hollow. As far as many of us are concerned, it is still Clark Hollow and always will be Clark Hollow. We have a lot of families by the name of Clark in Rappahannock County. I am of the opinion that we ought to restore Clark Hollow to its historically correct and rightful name, and change Bean Hollow Road to Clark Hollow Road. There are enough people in Clark Hollow who agree with me, that I think we can collect the money to pay the county for the cost of changing the signs. And, of course, there is more to it than that, but, darn it, fair is fair. Is it realty May already?! Where has the time gone? I mean it was just St. Patrick’s Day the other week wasn’t it? Fm sorry for the long hiatus but between the church play, the fire house, work and as you men know all to well, my wife’s “would that look nice in our yard,” Fve been just a little short on time. You know it’s a shame when you look forward to going to work just to get a break! Happenings with the Fire Department Well what have we missed, where to begin. Let’s see, there was the Fire Department’s beauty pageant won by Ms. Kayla Jenkins, a lovely young lady who now unfortunately resides in Winchester instead of down this way. And a big thank you is in order to Nora Sealock and Mary Williams without whose help the fire department could never have managed the pageant. A big thank you is also in order to Mrs. Lindsey Wines and Mrs. Janie Phillips who orchestrated the whole event. Janie, as you may recall, was very ill during some of the time leading up to the Pageant but even from her bed made phone calls and kept things going on track. As a token of the Fire Department’s esteem and in honor of her service Janie was presented with a royal scepter for all of her time, hard work, and effort. Mr. Eddie Gibson won the 4-wheeler in the raffle the Fire Department Fund Raising committee put on. The Fire Department has just purchased and put into operation a 1990 Grumman Pumper. This new piece is set up almost as if they ordered it from the factory for fighting fires on the mountain. It has a 1,000 gallon tank with a 1250 pump with multiple intakes and has the ability to pump from the tank in both the front and rear so that whether the truck is facing up or down hill the pump is able to pick up and use all of the water in the tank. Church Play a Success The church put a very inspiring play for Easter and even “took the show on the road” and preformed at the Second Baptist Church in Martinsburg West Virginia. Everyone did a fantastic job and really did their best to present the Lord’s message. Speaking of doing a great job, Mr. Bill Campbell did an outstanding job of portraying the High Priest, so well that even some of the other cast members were a little thrown off by the emotion he put into it. The Roman soldiers weren’t bad either just in case you missed me, I mean them. There is also a renewed interest in expanding the Sunday School classes at the Chester Gap Chris Ubben 635-6094 bigshowl995@ | yahoo.com church which start at 10:00am each Sunday morning and everyone, whether you’re a regular or have never been to church in your life, are invited to attend and learn about the Lord and his Gospel. Long live the King Tommy Grigsby was crowned the prom king at Rappahannock County High School. Tommy is the son John and Jeanie Grigsby of Chester Gap and while he was in a serious accident the other week as well Tommy seems to be making a full recovery. Her royal highness Mrs. Janie Phillips has been crowned Mrs. Virginia and will now go on in July to compete against the other state’s winners in the Mrs. America pageant in Las Vegas, NV in July. Janie is very excited and happy but is still the same Janie we all know and love and hasn’t let the stardom go to her head, but she did make me refer to her as “your highness”. You know, besides that she’s still the same Janie, that and she carries that scepter around a lot now too, I wonder... Here at home Like I mentioned earlier I’ve been a little busy here at the house trying to plant some trees, build flower beds, and construct what is supposed to be a walk way but looks more like a “I don’t know about that thing”. We’re trying to grow some grass out here in this red clay too, and it seems a shame that there isn’t a market for “Real Appalachian Rocks” because it seems it’s a lot easier growing them than anything else. I can’t complain though, the Lord has been very good to me even when I don’t at first recognize it and keeps me humble so I look to him for the guidance in my life. We should all be very careful what we take to be “bad news” when we first hear it as we never know what the Lord mayhave in store or be working in our lives. I mean when I woke up one morning and realized that I was married and what’s more had not one but two children, I took it really hard. In the end though it all turned out okay, you know I’ve almost grown to like salads, and “looking through” the Avon catalogs with her, and spending Thanksgiving or Christmas with the in-laws. Almost meaning not really, but hey, there’s nothing like spending some time with your in-laws to keep you humble, right?!!? A New York birthday “I like American Girl dolls because they are adventurous! I have read five of the book series about them,” said Amber.

Looking to the rematch By Chris Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News Rappahannock County High School’s softball team has Friday circled on its calendar. That date is Rematch Day, and this time, Rappahannock County head coach Richie Burke hopes for a better outcome. Friday afternoon, the Lady Panthers host Group A Bull Run District rival Manassas Park. Just two weeks ago, an infield error in the bottom of the seventh allowed the Cougars to score a run and win, 2-1, in extra innings. Many district personnel believe that Rappahannock, Madison and Manassas Park will battle for the championship and right to advance to the Region B tournament later this spring. With recent losses to Manassas Park and a surprising Clarke County squad, Burke knows that Friday’s rematch with the Cougars could have a huge bearing on the district standings. “We must split with Manassas Park,” he said. “We have to be really focused. It's time to be smart and think about what we are doing.” The rematch also features an outstanding pitching duel, with Rappahannock’s Rebecca Tupper and Manassas Park’s Courtney Steele. The pair combined to allow just eight hits and strike out 20 batters. Tupper had a no-hitter for 5 2/3 innings. The Lady Panthers also should enjoy a good-sized crowd, as there will be a dedication of the new scoreboards from the Lions Club. The home field advantage could be a key to the outcome of the game. Although Rappahannock still has two weeks left in the regular district season, a win over Manassas Park could help the Lady Panthers finish in the top two in the district. They most likely would see George Mason in the opening game of the tournament. If they take third place, their opening round opponent could be either Strasburg or Clarke County. In a recent game at Clarke County, Rappahannock committed three errors in the bottom of the sixth which led to a four-run rally and a 6-4 Clarke win. “We had a lead, and then let them come back to beat us on errors,” Burke said. “That one inning just killed us.” Rappahannock rebounded, however, Friday night in scoring a 7-4 win over Madison County. The Lady Panthers scored all of their runs in the top of the sixth, as they erased a 1-0 deficit. Tupper led the Rappahannock attack with two hits, including a double, and three RBI. Jessica Lee had a hit and two RBI. Sarah Smoot also had a base hit and an RBI. Wakefield ties Word of Life By Kiaya Abernathy Special to the Rappahannock News Last Thursday the Wakefield Owls girls soccer team faced Word of Life Christian Academy. The game ended in a 2-2 tie. Wakefield’s Caitlin Hammelman scored the first goal for Wakefield within five minutes into the first half. Julia Bancroft and Katherine Russo defended well as did Emma Clark and Chantel Paul. Another strong player for Wakefield was Abby Whitaker whose defensive moves protected Wakefield’s goal. Word of Life eventually got past the Owls and scored tying the game 1-1. But the Owls stayed tough and Hammelman scored the second goal for the Owls. Another goal from Word of Life and the score was tied at 2-2 where it remained until the end with neither side being able to capitalize on a game winning goal. Carrier made some fast saves for the Owls and stayed alert throughout the rest of the game. Russo and Hammelman worked together very well which is a pattern that they’ve well established in the past. Bancroft was on the ball constantly for the Owls and she made some great attempts at the goal. Panning for ‘Gold’ at Great Meadow Saturday Timber classic highlights area ‘chasing’s closing weekend By Betsy Parker Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Virginia Gold Cup timber classic often produces a surprise finish, but this year it’s already guaranteed to produce a surprise start. Though at $50,000 it offers one of the richest timber prizes in the nation, the Virginia Gold Cup feature attracted only four entries by the time entries closed Tuesday TIGHT RACE: Last year’s Virginia Gold Cup finish might set up dgain as Kinross Farm’s Miles Ahead, shown here at left winning in 2005, is entered for the $50,000 feature. Last year’s runnerup Chinese Whisper, also of Kinross Farm, is not entered. File Photo ancinuuu. iw is me smallest entry since the race moved to Great Meadow in The Plains in 1985 after a half-century at the Broadview course near downtown Warrenton. “The Gold Cup is a challenging course,” said VGC executive director Diane Jones of the disappointing entry. “It’s hard to say why there aren’t more entered this year. Different years you get different groups of horses. It’s hard to tell.” Jones wondered if there might be too many choices for top timber runners, with the $50,000 Maryland Hunt Cup just one week before the Gold Cup and the $75,000 timber stake at Iroquois in Tennessee one week after. “Timber horses are a little like jockeys,” Jones said. “There usually aren’t enough of either one.” A Timber horses, she added, are the specialists of American steeplechasing, with jumping skill and stamina needed along with the requisite speed and bravery. Tbo, the Great Meadow timber course is one of the most testing in the nation, with 23 fences nearly 4 feet high. A horseman can’t just “create” a championship timber horse in a short time when a division seems weak or under-entered at the beginning of the year. Heading the entries for the main event is defending 2005 titlist Miles Ahead from Kinross Farm. Joining prohibitive favorite Miles Ahead, now eight-for-eight, are entries Askim, from Ann Stewart’s Maryland stable, and a twohorse entry of Pennsylvania’s Augustin Stable, Thari and Seeking Seattle. In other racing on the $150,000 program, the Gold Cup undercard includes a maiden timber, the popular Steeplethon open steeplechase over varied fences, and four races over hurdles. Post time is 1:30 p.m. for the first horse race; junior pony races precede the main card, as do Jack Russell terrier races, a hat contest, tailgate competition and more. Complete entries are posted online at www.nationalsteeple chase.com. Great Meadow is located between Warrenton and Marshall on U.S. 17 at Old Tavern. No tickets are sold at the gate; prepurchase is available at many ticket outlets in the area. Call (540) 347-2612 for details or look online at www.vagoldcup.com.

Photos by Ann Spieker Small team but strong results By A. J. Collins Special to the Rappahannock News Over the next few weeks, Rappahannock County High School head track and field coach Scott Stephens would like to see some positive numbers that could translate into school records. The . 4x 100-meter relay team is seeking a new school record in its event. So is senior Samantha Brown in the high jump. And junior Josh Makela is nearly automatic for points in the 3,200-meter run. “We need to get everyone healthy for districts,” said Stephens, after a small group of Rappahannock student-athletes competed in Saturday’s Wrangler Invitational in Luray. “With the boys’ 4X100, we might experiment a little.” The team of Brooke Stokes, Irving Smith, Josh Makela and Chris Harris won its 4X100 heat Saturday, but finished sixth overall with a time of 49.18 seconds. Stokes was a fill-in for junior Jesse Palmer, who did not make the trip because of illness. Still, that time leaves the foursome about two seconds away from a school record in the event. Stephens plans to juggle the five runners to see what is the combination that will be needed to succeed in going for that record. Harris, meanwhile, had a nice day for the Panthers. He won the high jump at 5-8 and the 200-meter dash at 24.46. He also finished 17th in the long jump at 16 feet. “Chris is definitely a top performer,” Stephens said. “He was competing against some people from our district. It’s always good to see that kind of competition.” Makela finished second in the 3,200 with a time of 11:19.59. “Josh puts in the time and effort in practice,” Stephens said. “We’re trying to get him to push up a lap, maybe hang with (the leaders) and make them think.” Smith, with the exception of his participating in the 4X100 relay, rolled sevens all day, finishing seventh in the long jump, triple jump and high jump. On the girls’ side, Brown tried to compete despite a pulled quad muscle. She finished second in the high jump behind Manassas Park’s Shanique Grigsby at 4-8.

Photos by Marian Carroll MOREL SURPRISE: These tarts were made by the Apple Hill bakery for the festival using morels gathered by John Hallberg. By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer Picture your brain. Good. Now, picture it made of a delicious fungus, and hidden in the woods every year from late April to mid June. Depending on your knowledge of anatomy, this inner vision should now resemble a morel mushroom, the perennial Rappahannock delicacy also known as a ‘merkle’. Prized for their taste and the difficulty of finding them, these wild mushrooms are the focus of fungi enthusiasts, gourmands, several webpages, and the Smokehouse Winery Morel Mushroom Festival. Tucked away on the side of a mountain near Sperryville, the morel celebration looks more like someone’s private lawn party than one of the area’s most serious mushroom lover conventions. Around twenty five or so Merklefans sit at picnic tables or lie on the grass, sipping cups of Smokehouse Winery’s mead, talking about mushrooms or enjoying the live music. At least, that’s what they appear to be doing. The truth is revealed whenever John Hallberg, the owner/operator of Smokehouse Winery, comes out of the kitchen with a fresh pan of morels, and the lawn party turns into a line of fungus craving festival goers. Even the festival’s population of cats and dogs follow Fungus fans fraternize at festival FEEDING TIME: Fungus craving merkle fans line up for more Morels.

When he’s not spooning up the “food of the gods,” Hallberg spends the festival on stage playing old civil war tunes on a dulcimer, a mushroom emblazoned chef’s hat on his head,a morel statue at his feet. With a show like that, it’s easy to believe that Hallberg started the Morel mushroom festival because he found other mushroom festivals mushroom deficient. “This started years ago, when we went to the Front Royal Mushroom Festival, and there were no mushrooms to be had there. It was more like a craft fair. I wanted this to be more morel-centric,” said Hallberg. According to John Butler, morel hunter,assistant chef and ad-hoc sound man of the 7 th annual Smokehouse Winery Morel Mushroom Festival, part of the lure of morels is the chase. “It’s like a glorified easter egg hunt,” said Butler, who .along with Hallberg himself, found all the morels used in the festival. “We’re each certain we’re the morel king of Rappahannock County” said Butler, clearly only half joking. According to Butler, morels are known for being hard to find because of their unpredictability. “Sometimes you’ll get a ton in one trip, sometimes you go weeks with nothing, “ exclaimed Butler. According to Butler, Hallberg, and Hunsaker, morel hunters should always leave the first one they find, although whether this is because of a magic curse or just to propagate the species was a matter of disagreement between them. There was also disagreement among the experts at the festival about the origin of the term “merkle,” popularly believed to derive from the idea that morels are so hard to find that it’s a “merkle” if one succeeds. However, Butler thinks the word is just a corruption of the word Morel, and may originate in the genus name of the species .Morchella. However one says it, events like Smokehouse Winery’s Morel festival bring new fans to the spongy fungus all the time, and morel fans will continue to haunt the back trails of Rappahannock County, scratching their heads and muttering to themselves, hoping for a merkle.

Ballard Special to the Rappahannock News When one thinks of the artist Jeff MacNelly, what often comes to mind are the hilarious series of cartoons he created for the nationally syndicated cartoon “SHOE.” JeflFMacNelly was also a three-time Pulitzer-Prize winning editorial cartoonist and an artist whose paintings, prints and bronze sculptures manage to convey both his superb draftsmanship and his unique view of the world in which he lived. R. H. Ballard Art, Rug and Home will open an exhibition of his masterful bronze sculptures on May 6 with a reception and book signing with Susie MacNelly. Susie will be signing the most recent collection she helped create of the “Shoe” cartoons entitled, “27 Years of Shoe: World Ends at Ten, Details at Eleven”. Jeff MacNelly passed away in 2000 but his legacy has been carried on through the work of Chris Cassatt, Gary Brookins, Susie MacNelly, his head writer Bill Linden and Doug Gamble. This tireless team keeps Jeff MacNelly’s work alive on “Shoe” and also the Dave Barry's illustrations. His sculpture, however, is his legacy to the world of images he created, both serious and funny.

Instead of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, the Quartet picked Bach, Bernstein and the Beatles, because of their impact on music in our time.” WsaxQ is the most widely heard saxophone quartet in the United States: since1997, recorded arrangements by the Quartet have aired daily throughout the United States on National Public Radio’s broadcasts of All Things Considered. Concert audiences are often surprised when they discover they’ve been hearing the Quartet’s music day after day on the radio. And they are just as surr prised to find out they have been listening to four saxophones! The instruments are able to evoke the refined sounds of a string quartet, the rich harmonies of an organ prelude, and the excitement of a jazz sax section. For close to thirty years WsaxQ has given recitals, informal concerts, and master classes in the United States, the Caribbean, and China, and on radio and television worldwide. The Quartet draws on a rich repertoire and wealth of experience to reach listeners of every age and background. In 1996, WSaxQ celebrated its twentieth year with the release of a CD, “To China and Bach,” highlighting music from the 1995 China tour. Their latest recording, “Daydream,” features romantic favorites. WSaxQ records on the Americus label. Reginald Jackson, soprano sax, holds first prize in both the solo and chamber music competitions at the Washington Saxophone Quartet Royal Conservatory in Brussels. He has several times represented the United States in international saxophone events abroad. James Steel, alto sax, played in the U.S. Army Band before joining the quartet. Rich Kleinfeldt, tenor sax, is a broadcaster, professional musician, teacher and lecturer. He is currently host of two nationally syndicated radio programs, including, Center Stage from Wolf Trap, and was formerly sax soloist with the United States Army Band. Rick Parrell, baritone sax, is currently sax soloist with the Band, maintains an active performance schedule, and is a professor of music at George Mason University.

Most of the labor, the site, and over half of the construction funds were donated by the local African-American community. But the seed money to build the school was contributed by The Rosenwald Foundation as part of a program to help educate black children in the United States before integration.

From his living image of a cowboy saving a lost calf in the dead of winter entitled “Snow Storm” to his portrait of a goose with a flight cap on entitled “Loon”, MacNelly captures the essence of each subject. Though he lived his last years in Flint Hill, Jeff MacNelly loved the west and the images from that area and this show includes a number of those. “Plugger in Flight” and “Warrior” are two wonderful examples of the action he could create. His humor shines with his small “Party Animal”, a rhino with a party hat of his horn and “Ad a Little Hardware to the Software” where, it is assumed that MacNelly’s frustration with computers is well displayed with hammer raised to strike the offending machine. Dave Barry writes in the forward of “27 Years of Shoe...”: “Jeff could see the humor in anything, which is one reason why he was a wonderful cartoonist. Another is that he was a superb artist; he could easily have made a living as a serious painter or sculptor.” This exhibition is a celebration of the artistry that inhabited such an amazing and creative individual who gave not only his humor to the world, but also his heart and soul. MacNelly sculptures and books will be for sale, May 6 - May 28. The gallery is located at 307 Main, Street, Washington, VA, and is open everyday, 10am - 6pm, and by appointment.

See DEATHS, Page B6 Umpiring Tfoougfiti by Randy Minter BEREAVEMENT FARES If you find yourself in the very unfortunate position of having to fly on short notice to the funeral of a family member, the airlines may be able to help. Because shopping for an airline ticket is one of the last things a griefstricken individual wants to do, many airlines offer bereavement fares (otherwise, known as compassionate fares) to people who must travel for reason of a death in the family. While these fares may not come with the lowest possible price, they are usually sold at a discount. In addition, they are likely to be free of restrictions, giving travelers flexibility. To qualify for a bereavement fare, you must submit specific information about the ailing or deceased person. Airlines are often happy to accommodate folks on die way to a funeral if proof of loss can be provided. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME we urge you to call the airline and find out what is necessary to do to receive such a, fere. We’re at 233 Broadview Ave, Warrenton. Call 347-3431.

Recycle plastic milk jugs into nifty irrigation systems for your garden VEGETABLES • lb control weeds in the garden: prevent weed seed germination, destroy weeds that sprout before they bear seed, and do not use mulches or compost contaminated with weed seeds. • Stay out of the garden when foliage is wet. Walking through a wet garden spreads disease from one plant to another. • Plan vegetable gardens with nutrition in mind. Compare the nutritional values of your crops with the amount of space allotted to them. For example, your family will get more vitamins and minerals from a block of spinach than from an equal amount? of lettuce. • Another garden use for plastic milk jugs is seep irrigation. Simply use a large nail to punch holes in the sides of a jug, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bury the jug, leaving the neck protruding from the soil. Fill the jug with water (solutions of liquid fertilizer may be used to water and fertilize at the same time) and screw the cap on firmly. The water will gradually seep out, providing a slow, deep irrigation for surrounding plants. • id ensure pollination ol sweet com, plant several rows together in a block, rather than in one long row. Sidedress with 3 Tbsp. of 10-10-10 fertilizer per 10 feet of row when 12 to 18 inches high. Keep well watered, especially from tasseling time to picking. Hill com plants by pushing a few inches of soil up around the base of the plants when they are fertilized. This provides stability, but take care not to disturb the roots or remove suckers. LAWNSAND LANDSCAPING • Plan a landscaping project on paper first. Do not over plant, be sure you know the ultimate size of each plant, and allow for growth. • Lawns maintained at the correct height resist disease and weed infestation. Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue should be kept between 2 to 3 inches in height. Mow frequently, removing no more than one third of the blade at each cutting. • If your lawn is bluegrass/fescue, resist the urge to fertilize now. Fall is the time to fertilize these grasses. Fertilizing now will keep you behind the lawn mower all spring and increase chance of injury to your lawn from summer disease and drought. • Grass clippings can be used as a mulch in flower beds and vegetable gardens if allowed to dry well before use. Fresh, damp grass clippings will mat and may attract pests. Never use clippings from a lawn that has been treated with a herbicide. FLOWERS • If you love to garden, but don’t have a lot of time, choose plants that are easy to maintain. Plants that do not need “deadheading” include begonia, impatiens, coleus, alyssum, ageratum, lobelia, and salvia. • Potted plants, when placed outdoors, may need to be watered more frequently than if they were inside. If you place plants in clay pots inside larger plastic pots or cover clay pots with aluminum foil, you will reduce the frequency at which you must water. Remember to punch a drainage hole if foil is used. • Impatiens is the most satisfactory annual for use in shady areas. Begonias, coleus, ageratum, and salvia prefer light shade (5 to 6 hours of sunlight.) • Set petunias plants among fading tulips or daffodils to hide the unsightly wilting leaves. After the bulb foliage begins to fade, you can tie the leaves in gentle knots to neaten them, but don’t remove them until they have dried completely. TREES AND SHRUBS • When planting a new shade tree, consider whether it is messy or neat in appearance, weak- or strong-wooded, and long- or short-lived. Resist the temptation to plant a fast-growing, weak tree for quick shade. • Some trees that are messy and weak-wooded include silver maple, hybrid poplar, mimosa, weeping willow, black cherry, and Eastern cottonwood. Better choices are Chinese elm, Japanese zelkova, pin oak, red maple, river birch, tulip popular, and willow oak. • Most evergreens have many roots near the soil surface. Avoid deep cultivation that might wound roots. • Regularly water newly planted trees and shrubs during the first year or two after planting to help establish a good root system. They need at least 1 inch of water each week. It is better to water deeply once a week than to water lightly every day; the former practice encourages deep, drought-resistant roots 'while the latter practice encourages surface roots that may suffer during dry spells. Mulch to conserve moisture and control weeds. • The efficiency of air conditioner compressors can be increased by up to 10 percent if they are shaded by trees or shrubs.

48 and counting... By Bob Lander Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock Lions Club celebrated its 48th anniversary on Thursday evening with a dinner meeting at the Washington Fire Hall. The annual affair that brings together Lions and their spouses-is referred to as “Charter Night” and recognizes the date when the Club was originally chartered as a Club in the Lions International organization. For the Rappahannock Club, this date is March 19, 1958. Lion R. E. Wood was the president of the charter organization. At this year’s Charter Night, guest speaker Lion Waller Jones, currently a member of Lions Host Club in Culpeper, talked about his personal association with the Rappahannock Club during its early years. Lion Waller was Zone Chairman at the time and was responsible for shepherding the club in the formative years. He told several humorous stories about working with Paul Nichols, the Club’s first secretary/treasurer, and other charter members through the ensuing years. Lion Waller allowed that the Rappahannock Club, Photo by Bruce Jones ROARING IN RAPPAHANNOCK: The Lions Club is nearly 50 years old and celebrated in April at their “Charter Night’ with a special presentation from Waller Jones. now with over 50 active mem- clubs in the District because of bers, is an example for other its consistent strong member ship. He congratulated the Club for its service in and for the community. As a tribute to the members now serving and those having served previously, Lion Holly Pendleton, presented a photographic program that he entitled, “Blast from the Past” that illustrated the behind the scenes work that goes into making the Club’s famous apple butter, conducting auctions, participation at Rappahannock Night at Camp Fantastic, the free Sight/Hearing testing of Rappahannock’s school children, DARE Day, Relay for Life, and the Bland music contest, among other fund raising and community service activities. Lion Holly expressed his personal appreciation for the Club’s. continuing tradition of service stating, “I am proud to serve the community in the company of such fine men and women.” The Club’s next community activity is the dedication of the electronic score boards at the RCHS/RCES athletic field at 5 p.m. on Friday, May 5. Lion Gary Settle headed this endeavor for the Club. On May 20, members will participate in the “Relay for Life” under the leadership of Lion Steve Kerchner. For information about the Rappahannock Lions Club and its service to the community, “Ask a Lion!” Membership is open to women and men. The Club meets on the second and fourth Thursdays at the Public House in Flint Hill. —7Call to Advertise! 540-347-4222 VISA J ' V ' ^ Ns ' ^ !'
