Recruiter Raye Tupper is the person tasked with finding new teachers, and offered insights on how she does her job. Tupper goes to teacher job fairs where she puts up a tabletop display about Rappahannock County, the people and the schools here for potential hires to look over. “I felt like I was back in college at the mixers, with all the guys just walking by and looking,” she told the board at Tuesday’s meeting. Often, Tupper is accompanied by others from the county school system. “It helps to have teachers along, because potential teachers like to have teachers to talk to,” she explained. Many of those who approach the recruiting team are looking specifically for a small school, “Where they can be a person and not a number,” she added. Board member Ken Marlor asked Tupper what potential recruits say about housing. “It is a challenge,” she replied. “I take them to Front Photo by Jed Duvall PRESENTER: School Recruiter Raye Tupper uses this display to convince teachers to come to Rappahannock County.

Mark Currence of the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department for returning the sign to his farm. Stolen signs returned to owners By Richard Lyres Special to the Rappahannock News Good luck more than crime-solver sleuthing has resulted in at least three stolen property signs from the Rappahannock area being returned to their owners this past week. In early 2005, the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office received reports of property signs stolen in the Flint Hill area.

In February, another property sign was stolen from Caledonia Farm B&B on Dearing Road. While stolen farm signs don’t immediately sound like much of a crime, the signs taken in this instance were expensive and hand crafted,some costing many hundreds of dollars. The Warren County Sheriff’s Office was notified last week that a landowner in the county who rarely uses her property had accidentally found a bunch of signs thrown in a See SIGN, Page A2 Royal, to Culpeper” to try to find them a place to live. But finding affordable housing is difficult. At that point Board member Aline Johnson summed it up. “I think housing is one thing that keeps them away as much as anything” she said. Program will continue According to Rappahannock County School Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell, “There will be no program eliminations next year,” in reference to the Junior Panthers baseball program. Chappell promised to find the funds needed to preserve the program in next year’s budget. The program had been dropped for lack of funds, but after eloquent pleas by parents at the April board-meeting, Chappell began to reconsider. At Tuesday night’s board meeting, he announced that since the Board of Supervisors has approved the entire school budget, he will be able to secure the See BOARD, Page A2 Mother’s Day not a celebration for Amissville woman By Wally Bunker Rappahannock News Staff Writer For 40-year-old Viki Shumaker this Mother’s Day will be like no other. “I don’t want to do anything,” she said, choking back tears. “I just want to be alone.” Instead of taking her mother Beulah Furr to dinner, Mrs. Shumaker and her family plan to visit the cemeteiy and establish a roadside monument. Mrs. Furr, 63, and her 67-year-old husband, John, of Bealeton died in a two-vehicle traffic accident on Route 17 near their home on April 10. The Furrs had been married 25 years. A pickup truck crossed the divided highway and slammed into the Furr’s 2003 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. Mr. Furr died at the scene, Mrs. Furr died on the way to the hospital. Mrs. Shumaker, one of Mrs. Furr’s five children, not only lost her mother but also her best friend. “She had the best heart of anyone I have known,” said Mrs. Shumaker. “She always put the needs of others before her own.” A daily ritual had the two women talking on the phone at least twice. Normally, when Mrs. Shumaker arrived at her office, she picked up the phone and called her mother. On April 10, Mrs. Shumaker called earlier than usual. The mother of two girls knew her mother and Mr. Furr were going shopping in Fredericksburg, and she didn’t want to miss the morning phone conversation. But something else troubled her. See SHUMAKER, Page A2 Slain detective active in Culpeper church By Wally Bunker Rappahannock News Staff Writer On Easter Sunday 2004, slain Fairfax County Police Detective Vicky Armel found the answer, said Mountain View Community Church Lead Pastor Mark Jenkins. “She was saved in her home.” The 40-year-old mother of two children, Mason, 4, and Thomas, 7, was shot and killed Monday outside of the Sully District police station in Chantilly. Since being saved, Armel often shared religious beliefs with her police friends. She sought answers about religion, the pastor said. “Being an investigator herself, she had to investigate the claims of Christ,” said the Rev. Jenkins. “Easter Sunday was the climax of that investigation.” See ARMEL, Page A2 Accused child molester denied bond By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer Accused child molester Samuel A. Marvin, 46, was denied bond in the Rappahannock County Circuit Court on Monday May 8. Marvin, a resident of Spenyville, was arrested April 7 by the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office for incidents of sexual assault involving a 6-yearold girl. samuei«. Marvin Marvin had been granted a $10,000 bond by Judge Jeffrey Parker in a May 4 hearing. He would have been required by the terms of the bond to live in a downtown Warrenton building he is renovating for his employer, who had agreed to pay the $10,000 bond. However, after hearing explicit testimony from prosecution witnesses about alleged acts of child molestation by Marvin, his employer, a Fauquier businessman, withdrew the offer and Judge Parker revoked Marvin’s bond. Marvin is charged with aggravated sexual battery to a victim under age 13 and taking indecent liberties with a minor, and was indicted before the grand jury on Monday. He was arrested by the RCSO after a woman heard the alleged victim describing what sounded like incidents of sexual abuse, and informed Social Services. Prior to Marvin’s May 4 bond hearing, his employer, who has known Marvin for several months, had agreed to help him post bond after “praying on it for a long time.” However, during the May 4 hearing, prosecuting Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke called witnesses that gave explicit testimony accusing Marvin of repeated sex crimes against children. Lt. Connie Smith of the RCSO, who originally arrested Marvin, told the court that the alleged victim had claimed that Marvin took baths with her during which he had made her wash his “private area.” According to Smith, the child also indicated that he had fondled her genital region, and that it felt “like a bee sting.” Another alleged victim also testified before the court, telling the court that aboqt 11 years ago, when she was 10, she had been forced by Marvin to fondle his genitals.

Shumaker From Page A1 “I had a bad feeling,” she remembered telling a co-worker. “I had a sick feeling.” The premonition reminded her of a day last August when she also had a “bad feeling.” The first day of school her niece, 10-year-old Emily Nicole Woodward, died in a school bus accident. At about 2:30 p.m., Mrs. Shumaker began calling her mother’s home. The phone rang and rang. A worried and frightened Mrs. Shumaker kept hitting redial on the phone.

No answer. When she arrived home that night, Mrs. Shumaker saw the unmarked sheriff’s car in the driveway. “What’s wrong?” she asked three or four times. Mrs. Shumaker’s husband, Buddy, told her to sit down. He broke the bad news about the crash.“It just broke my heart,” Mrs. Shumaker said, tears streaming down her face. “My whole world is just devastated — to be so close to somebody” Gone are the lasagna and salad Mrs. Furr loved to serve. Gone are the weekend camping trips in Thornburg, where the Furrs and Shumakers maintained campers. Gone are the Saturday shopping trips and scoping out antiques. Gone is the love of landscaping and planting flowers. Gone is the closeness only a mother and daughter establish. A question about what the first boyfriend of Mrs. Shumaker’s 14-year-old daughter, Amberlie, would loqk like will remain unanswered. “ ‘Nanny’ was special to me because she was always there for me through good times and the bad,” wrote Amberlie in an e-mail. “She’s so great that no other grandmother could compare to her.” GUNSHOW Stonewall District Ruritan Grounds May 13 & 14, 2006 Saturday 9:00 - 5:00 Sunday 9:00 - 3:00 Friday Night Set-Up Tables - $15.00 Daniel E.

It was the last day of the school’s annual Scholastic Book fair, and RCES was crowded with customers buying books. During that period an unknown person made off with the day’s cash take from the book fair. “It was anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000,” said RCES Principal David Covington. Proceeds from the book fair are normally split between the school and Scholastic, but Covington expects that all of the School’s remaining earnings form the fair will have to go to the book company. The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information about a man seen at the book fair who may be connected to the case. He is described as a short, white male in his 50s or 60s, who is missing a tooth on the bottom row. He was described as “asking odd questions” at the book fair. Anyone with any information about this incident is asked to call the RCSO at (540)675-5300. 1 540-923-4234 231,9 miles South of SpenyviHe 336 South F.T. Valley Rd.

Jenkins. “There is something in those eyes you really wanted to get to know.” On Easter Sunday 2005, Mrs. Armel testified to the church congregation about her being saved by Christ. The church holds services in the auditorium of the Culpeper County High School. The church ministers in a nontraditional and non-denominational way to people, who either left other churches or were, not associated with any church. The three-year-old church formed in 2003 and began holding services in Culpeper Middle School. She “immersed” herself in church activities. Mrs. Armel helped in the church office and with any duties she could provide. “She was a gifted decorator,” the Rev. Jenkins said. “She could take inanimate objects and turn them into life.” The Rev. Jenkins spent the Monday night of the shooting and the next morning with the family at their northern Culpeper County home. Her husband Tyler also serves as a detective on the Fairfax County Police Department. The pastor noted that the children have the same bubbly personality as their mother. “She was a great lady — dynamic.” Sign From Page A1 heap in her fields. Checking that the names did not correspond to any place names in their database, the Warren County authorities called the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office, where their records showed the names of the properties and reports of the loss signs. In discussing the case, Sheriff Larry Sherertz said he wished that he could say it was the result of an exhaustive crime solving investigation, but really, it had more to do with good luck and alert Warren County deputies who thought of calling the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office. Sherertz also allows that the dumping of the signs might have been related to the Crime Solvers reward of $2,000 posted for the signs’ return. By week’s end, all signs had been returned to their rightful - and grateful - owners. Although some of the signs were somewhat “weathered” from being out in an open field for so long, the owners were still pleased to have them back. Phil Irwin of Caledonia Farm was most appreciative because his sign — a large and handsome gilded lettered sign made by famed cabinetmaker Peter Kramer — was a landmark in the county. One recovered sign remains a mystery, however, and is unclaimed. It is a simple wood sign with the name “Two Creek Farm.” If anyone knows of a property by that name, please call the Sheriff's Office at (540) 675-5300. Board From Page A1 roughly $3,000 needed — mostly for part time coaches — to support the program. Locker rooms up, locker rooms down The School Board discussed the rough outline of a proposed gift from the Rappahannock County School Sports Association. The RCSSA offers to erect a locker room building next to the track, on the land behind the band room. The RCSSA plans several years of seeking donations — amounting to six figure dollars — with the locker rooms followed by a concession stand, press box, bleachers and eventually, fights. But getting the first draft of the gift plan off the ground proved bumpy. “Suppose fund raising is not successful,” asked Board member Rosa Crocker. “I’m a little leery of (going) full speed ahead.” The first phase — grading the site and putting up a shell of a building — would require less than $60,000. Even though Kay Miller of the RCSSA assured the board that nearly half that is in the bank and a loan for the remainder has been given verbal approval, the Board backed away from a decision and voted to authorize further talks between Superintendent Chappell and RCSSA. Those talks are planned for late this week. Governor’s school Earlier this year, members of the School System announced that four slots for county students had been set aside at at the highly-regarded Mountain Vista Governor’s School. This special program would put four high schoolers at the Governor’s school half-time, and in RCHS the other half. But Dr. Chappell announced to the Board on Tuesday night that one of the pupils enrolled at RCHS has decided to opt out of the year-long program, leaving one slot open. Chappell made it clear that the slot is open to any student who lives in Rappahannock County, whether in public or private school. The slot is open only until June 1. According to Chappell, after that date passes and it is not filled by a county student, there is a student in another county who is eager to take the space, and the student’s parents are willing to pay the $7, 500 tuition that burdens an out-ofcounty pupil. A memorial trip Rappahannock eighth graders will get to take a special trip to the National Air and Space Museum near Dulles Airport in June, and next year’s eighth graders will be able to take the same trip, too. That’s because the late John Dillon, who died eight years ago, loved flying and airplanes, and was drawn to aircraft museums and history. The trips have been made possible by his wife, Nancy Dillon, who lives in Washington, who will sponsor the trips each year. The School Board was told about this unique gift by Mrs. Dillon’s friend, Paige Coombs. Financial Problems?

According to the alleged victim, her father sought to have Marvin prosecuted at that time, but was told by officials of the Department of Social Services that there was not sufficient evidence. After the hearing, Marvin’s employer seemed visibly disturbed, and said that he would wait until Marvin’s appearance before the grand jury on May 8 before deciding whether to help him. After Marvin’s grand jury appearance, the employer withdrew his offer of help. Since bond has been revoked, it is likely Marvin will remain incarcerated until his June trial.

Panther baseball By Chris Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News Rappahannock County High School senior left-hander Jason Jenkins took matters into his hands Tuesday afternoon, and delivered a win. Jenkins roped a bases-loaded double to score freshman shortstop Chase Tupper in the bottom of the seventh, and allowed just two hits in leading the Panthers to a 2-1 victory over Clarke County in a Group A Bull Run District baseball contest. With the score knotted at 1, Tapper led off the inning with a single. He advanced to second and third on back-to-back Clarke County errors. Then Jenkins doubled home Tupper, for the winning run. Tupper and Alex Sharp each had two hits for the Panthers, who moved to 3-5 in the district, 5-8 overall. Ethan Russell, Jason Jenkins and TVavis Jenkins all had hits for Rappahannock. “We were putting the ball in play, but right at people,” said Rappahannock head coach Jeff Jenkins, pointing out that the Panthers twice had the bases loaded but did not score. “We could have easily scored six or seven runs today, but we hit the ball to people.” Rappahannock’s Jason Jenkins continued with another outstanding pitching performance. Besides allowing just two hits, he struck out 17. Current Rappahannock assistant principal Mike Tupper once struck out 20 batters in a game, Panther softball By Chris Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News Again, the score does not tell the whole story for the Rappahannock County High School girl’s softball team. Clarke County took advantage of five Rappahannock errors and scored a 6-4 win over the Lady Panthers on Tuesday afternoon. This marks the second time this spring that Clarke County has capitalized on Rappahannock misfires and miscues in posting a surprise win. “It’s back again to the same thing,” said Rappahannock head coach Richie Burke. “I think we’re a better team, but with the youth and errors. I keep saying youth and inexperience, but at some point, you’ve got to get older.” Burke pointed out that if Rappahannock had played better defense, it probably would U-12 Girl’s Soccer results The U-12 Girl’s Rappahannock Soccer teams finally got to play some soccer this weekend, as the last two weekends had been rained out. Both teams played their first games three weeks ago at Madison, and the Sour Apples and the Blue Bombers both had wins. The Sour Apples team consist of Jessica Coello, Sarah Henry, Haley Hogan, Caitlin Humbles, Maria Lee, Cullen McCarthy, Fiona McCarthy and Bryn Sonnett. The Blue Bombers are Peyton Bailey, Danielle Boutte, Shelby Burnett, Eleasha, Clement Lauren Light, Emily Pearcy, Felicia Stonecipher, Allison Stuart and Briana Winkworth., On April 29, both teams again traveled to Madison to face not only tough teams, but a tough playing field. The Sour Apples dominated their game, and Marie Lee was able to score one late in the second half. Final score was 1-0. The Blue Bombers were up against a very tough and talented team, but were unable to score. Danny Boutte, one of the Blue Bombers toughest players, was injured in the first half and unable finish. Final score 0-4 in favor of Madison. Both teams play again this Saturday at 10 a.m. Culpeper’s Emerald Hill School. have won the game, 4-2. Clarke’s defense produced just two errors. Burke hopes that his Lady Panthers can iron out their mistakes in their final four, Group A Bull Rim District games this season. Their schedule includes games with Madison and Manassas Park, teams that already handed them losses earlier in. the season. They also must face Strasburg twice. “Sometimes, you play flawless defense,” said Burke “And sometimes, you don’t.” If Rappahannock can get on a winning roll, it could finish 73 and land in one of the top three spots in the district standings. A third-place finish would allow the Lady Panthers to host an opening-round game in the upcoming tournament. Clarke’s schedule is a bit easier, as it must face George Mason and Strasburg. Those teams are in the bottom half of the standings. “I think we’ll end up seeing Clarke County again,” said Burke. “For them to heat us three times in a season, that’s tough. But we’d have to play there, and that’s a tough place to play. The field is rough and hard.” In Tuesday’s loss to Clarke, junior pitcher Rebecca Tupper highlighted the Rappahannock offense with a pair of triples. She finished with three hits.

Rappahannock’s regular season schedule is coming to a close, and the final week of games seems to favor the Panthers. If they win three of their final four games, they will finish at the .500 mark, and possibly slip into the top three in the district. Jenkins is optimistic that the Panthers can rebound from earlier losses to Madison and Strasburg, and post a strong, regular-season finish. “We played the hardest part of our schedule early,” he said. ^You Gi,^ Cy* Whose 40 On 5/20? / Clue: \ \RCES teacherJ Honk at Tier next week if you know.

First word of the attack came over police radio monitors, followed quickly by live coverage of the confusing situation by metropolitan television stations. So many memories came rushing back. The initial confusion, with a changing number of persons injured or involved; the helicopters filming from overhead, while a tight cordon around the area was established. Lookouts issued first for a pickup truck possibly used by the perpetrators), and later, for a “multi-colored junker car” that had been observed in the area. Traffic was stopped, nearby schools and day-care centers locked down, and no stone in the immediate area left unturned. For several hours, we all hoped that the two injured officers taken to Fairfax Inova hospital would pull through. By morning, however, we learned not only that one of the officers, Det. Vickie O. Armel, 40, a mother of two children, aged 4 and 7, had died. We also learned that she was our neighbor, living quietly in Quail Ridge, just across the line in Culpeper County; and that she was a deeply religious person who immersed herself in church activities. The circumstances leading up to this tragedy at this point are under active investigation. The motive for the attack, if there was one, remains Unknown. But we are painfully reminded of several stark truths: that law enforcement is a dangerous calling — even in the parking lot of a police station — and that those who protect and serve us are more than just a badge and a gun. We join area police commands, the congregation of her church and Det. Armel’s many friends in expressing our sympathy to her family. Scars of abuse remain Although I rarely have children under 13 as my patients, I know from the personal experience of many of my adult patients of the trauma of child sexual abuse. They tell me of their agonizing experiences undergone years and decades ago. A child’s mind is highly vulnerable. It has not built up the hard protective shell of life’s experiences. It is open to any and all intrusions, whether they be beneficial or malificent. The mind of a child anywhere from birth to adolescence is like a mass of putty, susceptible to be molded into any form. Tb assume that once an abusive event has been discovered and brought to a halt that it has become a thing of the past is to be guilty of the moral crime of neglect. Just as pressing the “delete” button on the computer keyboard does not truly wipe out the program, so an event once transpired continues to exist forever. It often lingers in the deeper recesses of the mind, hidden from conscious levels of awareness. I think of the woman in her seventies who came to me wondering why she had occasional bouts of depression for no apparent reason. Her life was a happy one. Only after numerous psychotherapeutic sessions did she, much to her amazement, “remem ber” that she had been raped at the age of thirteen, A male patient of mine in his forties was able to relate his anxiety attacks to his “forgotten” sexual molestation by a baby sitter when he was six years old. Over a century ago, poet William Wordsworth declared that “the child is father of the man.” Out of the child come the ingredients that create the adult, both physical and mental. Let us then look at this beautiful child that has just been mutilated emotionally. Let us rush to apply healing salve. Better yet, let us be observant. Child abuse is more common than you think — and report suspected abuse to child protective services. Watch for patterns. Is this witch hunting? Err on the side of caring. Protecting a possibly at-risk child may mean saving an adult. Dr. Robert Iadeluce • Wairenton water IpH-WpELAV. Letters The Flying Pig could use a change I recently had lunch at the Burger Barn in Sperryville. The Old School House Bar, whatever you want to call it. The meal was okay and the waitress was very nice, however I’m a little concerned about what they are trying to do with the atmosphere. I have been to many bars and this is pathetic, however it does have lots of potential. Maggie Rogers suggested a dinner theatre. This is exactly the route they need to take with this place. Another option would be to have bands every Friday night. The bar needs to be set up for a show. They have a stage, why not use it. Place the bar in the back of the room and add tables and chairs all around. Make sure you add booths; most people prefer to sit in a booth. Book some decent bands and have music every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Obviously the person who put in the TV’s hasn’t tried watching them; some blinds in the windows would help. Mike Wolfe Alexandria, VA Our government has not protected its citizens There has been much discussion recently about illegal immigrants, and their “rights” in our country. The situation today was caused, and remains complicated, by the inactions of the federal government. To many, it is a problem without a solution. When an issue seems too complex, the best approach is to simplify. Imagine an average family in Rappahannock County. They learn that uninvited strangers plan to move into their home, saying they want a better place to live. Alarmed, the family appeals to our local government for protection. To their surprise, all branches of government do essentially nothing, except make things worse! Police are “too busy” to make more than a cursory effort to keep the strangers out. Supervisors stall, waffle, finally suggest everyone will benefit - ultimately - if the family stops complaining and welcomes the uninvited, who stretch in endless numbers as far as the eye can see! The Judicial branch discovers provisions - invisible to normal citizens - in the Constitution that require the invaded family to feed, shelter, educate and provide medical care to the interlopers, at the family’s expense! Our family doesn’t understand. Don’t members of all branches of government swear an oath to perform their Constitutional duties? Isn’t the first duty of any government to protect and defend the persons and property of its citizens? Now we see why the Executive and Legislative branches of the Federal Government are held in such low regard today - as well they should be! What can we do? By word of mouth, email, letter, and vote, let our leaders know how we feel! John L. Marocchi Sperryville Sperryville book store to be sold Many folks in Rappahannock County have stopped by the Old Sperryville Bookshop, inquiring about the rumor that the bookshop is for sale. At the present time, the bookstore is open for business on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and has continued to enjoy the support of the local community. But life takes its turns, leading me to realize that I need to focus on my family obligations. As a result, I will be sell ing the shop. It is hard to believe that it has been almost three years since I took over the bookshop from Jim and Joan Gannon. The Old Sperryville Bookshop has been a part of the community for the last seven years, and it is my hope that it will continue to be a gathering spot, a place for local authors to do book signings, a place to come for a good cup of coffee and, of course, a great book. I believe the community needs a bookstore, and I am turning to all of you for your assistance in keeping this going. If you know anyone who would be interested in buying the business, I would appreciate you passing along the information. The store would work well for a retiree or for someone looking for a second income. Meanwhile, the bookshop will remain open. I not only want to thank readers of the Rappahannock News for your help in this matter, but I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for being supportive of my business and for welcoming me into Rappahannock County. I would also like to thank everyone for the prayers and good wishes they have expressed for my husband’s recovery from his recent cornea transplant surgery. We have been blessed by getting to know some really wonderful people in this community. Nancy Ostinato Old Sperryville Bookshop Profiling a litterbug County residents might be interested in a profile of the typical litterbug, based on the type of trash we found during our recent cleanup'of U.S. 211. I was part of the Rappahannock Democrats crew that regularly cleans the highway for two-and-ahalf miles west of Massie’s Corner. The good news: we collected 17 large bags of trash, down from a high of 23. There was much less construction waste than usual, so hats off to the contractors who seem to be more careful about covering their trash so it doesn’t blow out of their trucks. But based on the number of crushed plastics that we found, it seems that some of the trash was on its way to the Flatwoods center or the landfill, and blew out of residents’ trucks. A growing problem is that of urine bottles. This time, we found five. Perhaps it’s drivers who don’t want to stop who are using the wide mouth plastic bottles to urinate in, and are tossing the bottles out of their windows. Pretty disgusting. By far, Marlboro Lights remains the cigarette of choice for litterers. Burger King is their favorite eating spot. Beer tastes have become much less diverse, and were almost all Bud, Coors, and Pabst. And judging by the large number of Skoal tins we found, many of the tobacco chewers in the county toss their cans when finished. There were also a lot of gum wrappers - so many of the litterbugs are worried about their breath. It must be all that chewing tobacco. Jim Blubaugh Washington Science fair was enjoyed by all The fourth and fifth grade Science Fair at Rappahannock Elementary was a complete success. The students not only put the Scientific Method into action, but had lots of fun in the process. This is evidenced by the creativity and thought put into the projects. All students and scientists did a great job and each received a participation ribbon. The following projects received placement ribbons: 1st Place - Does Waste Water Treatment Affect Stream Water? Grayson Love (Mrs. Wayland’s class). 2nd Place - Bernoulli Effect, Amrit Tamang (Mrs. Wharton’s class). 3rd Place - How Explosion-Proff is Your Sandwich Bag? Holly Childrey (Mrs. Bailey’s class). Honorable Mention - Bottle Bowling: The Effect of Mass on Kinetic and Potential Energy, Seth Wayland (Mrs. Vickers’ class). Honorable Mention - Fungus among Us, Rita Cliffton (Mrs. Makela’s class). Honorable Mention - Catapult Test, Brian Kelly (Mr. Way’s class). Congratulations to all of our students who participated, we are proud of you! Lauren Wells Teacher, RCES 4th grade

The third grade students each offered hand-made jewelry, and the fourth graders created hand-dyed silk scarves. Musical entertainment during the reception was provided by John Kovac and his ensemble, and guests ergoyed a variety of wines from Old House Vineyards of Culpeper, while sampling an array of tasty hot appetizers, cheeses, and fruit.

Master of Ceremonies Tom Shafran kept things moving throughout the evening, and the live auction quickly heated up. There was some friendly competition among the parents during the “Head of School for a Day” offering, and when it came time for auctioning off of the hand-painted ceramic punch bowl and cups created by the Kindergarten, the good-natured vying between the class parents and Kindergarten teacher Kathy Nilan (who eventually emerged the winner) brought laughter and cheers from the crowd. At the end of the evening, Head of School Kathleen Grove expressed appreciation to the organizing and close-out committee members for all their hard work, thanked the many parents and donors for their generosity, and the community for coming out and being so supportive of this important fund raising event for Wakefield Country Day School.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Monty Tayloe A MAN AND HIS BIKE: Chris Parish poses with the recumbent bicycle that took him across the country. By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer A Boeing 737, traveling at it’s typical cruise speed of 530 mph, can cross the country in about six hours. According to Mapquest.com, a road trip from San Diego, California to St. Augustine, Flprida takes 37 hours and 34 minutes. Chris Parish doesn’t go that fast, but he pedals hard. It took him 45 days to get from San Diego to St. Augustine on his bicycle, the road three feet from his face, the scenery so close he could taste it. The 58-year-old Rappahannock County farmer saw the southern portion of America without a windshield or a gas pedal. Along thfe way he breathed a lot of truck exhaust, saved a lot of gas money, and found out that people are better than he expected. “I saw Middle America, and it restored my faith in human nature,” said Parish. “People by and large are good,” he added. However, Parish didn’t set off on a bicycle ride across America to find out how nice people are. In fact, he doesn’t seem to have much of an idea why he did it. “That’s a common question,” he laughed. “A lot of people asked me that, and I have no good answer.” There might be a clue hidden in some of Parish’s past adventures. This bike trip wasn’t his first exotic vacation. He has run a marathon in the Sahara Desert, trekked in Nepal and seen the Arctic Ocean. With that kind of resume, maybe it’s not surprising that Parish cited “Not being able to find Chris Parish took the scenic route a good cup of coffee” as his biggest problem on his coast to coast trip. Geared up Parish began his long ride on a beach off San Diego on February 24, 2006. He had flown there from Virginia, and shipped his bike ahead of him. Parish’s bike is a recumbent model, meaning that the rider operates the bike from a reclined seated position. Parish chose the recumbent style because it eased strain on his arthritic neck and elbows, and also because he was able to get the bike in exchange for a load of hay in Amissville. Throughout his trip, Parish’s odd looking bike brought him extra attention. “People were always curious about the bike. Cars would go by me and pull over to ask me about the bike,” remem Photo courtesy of Diane Bruce IN THE BEGINNING: Chris Parish stands in the Pacific Ocean off San Diego, Calif, just before he began his trip. bered Parish. He loaded the bike with around fifty pounds of luggage, including a sleeping bag, bottled water, a bike pump, and one extra set of clothes that he could wear to dinner in place of his biking gear. Parish didn’t bring a tent or extra food, and he slept in a hotel and ate dinner in a restaurant almost every night. The sleeping bag was just for emergencies. His goal was to bicycle across America, not to sleep on the hard rocky ground of America. Despite those best laid plans, Parish did end up spending four nights in the great outdoors on the course of his trip. For him, the worst of these was spent in the desert, on a night when it got dark before he could find a hotel. Exhausted from his day of pedaling, Parish laid out his sleeping bag on the sand, along with his pocket knife, bike pump, and anti-dog pepper spray. “I was really worried about coyotes,” he explained. Luckily, he woke up the next morning coyote free, and went on his way. Good people, sore legs From San Diego, Parish followed a route across the southern United States, following a route mapped out specially for cyclists. He usually rode for about six hours a day, averaging about 70 miles a day. “My legs never stopped being sore,” said Parish. Every night he stopped at the nearest hotel, washed out his filthy biking clothes, ate in a restaurant, and slept See PARISH, Page B6 AfroBop to perform AfroBop Alliance, formerly known as CuBop, play Latin rhythms with jazz harmony. The seven piece band returns to the Theatre at Washington, Virginia on Saturday, May 20, 2006 at 8 p.m, after an absence of three years. The Latin jazz septet describes its music as “instrumental jazz accompanied with the lively rhythms of Latin America. It is sophisticated dance music, accessible to all ears.” Bandleader Joe McCarthy says that the music “will have you dancing in your seats!” According to McCarthy, the band uses the instrumentation of a jazz ensemble augmented with congas, timbales, bongos, bells, etc., while playing compositions in AfroCuban or Brazilian styles. The ensemble says its goal is “to fuse all of these wonderful ‘Latin’ styles and cultures with our own jazz experience to create a unique sound.” Afro Bop lomprises Joe McCarthy, drums; Felix Contreras, congas/percussion; Harry Appelman, piano; Max Murray, bass; Luis Hernandez, saxophone, Tim Stanley, trumpet, and Dan Drew, trombone.

Capote at The Theatre Anne Morgan Grey Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community brings “Capote” to The Theatre on Gay Street, Washington,Virginia, Friday, May 19, at 8 p.m. Truman Capote claimed that with the publication of his book, “In Cold Blood”, a new form of writing was bom; journalism made into story, a nonfiction novel. This book was an important event for Capote, something on a large scale that would have the “credibility of fact, the immediacy of film, the depth and freedom of prose, and the precision of poetry.” While his claim of invention is disputed, and lines between truth and untruth blur his journalism, few recent writers have the reputation of the fascinating, talented, changeling that marked Truman Capote. For a time he was the most famous and well-paid writer in America. The film “Capote” brings Truman to full life once again, embodied by Philip Seymour Hoffman in this fascinating shape-shifting academy award winning (best actor) performance. A tall man, Philip becomes short, all head, fragile, lisping in that strange characteristic baby voice that was Capote’s signature. Intense, always intense, he carefully reveals just enough of himself to others that they can’t help offering him even more. Truman’s adaptive morality, his See CAPOTE, Page B7 Hospice of the Rapidan to release Monarch butterflies Hospice of the Rapidan is sponsoring sits fourth annual Butterfly Celebration on Sunday, June 11th at 3 p.m. in the beautiful formal gardens of James Madison’s Montpelier in Orange.

Chamber opera debuts May 20 at Casdeton Theatre By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Realizing a long-held dream of Maestro Lorin Maazel, music director of the New York Philharmonic, Rappahannock County’s Chateauville Foundation will present its first fullstaged opera production —“The Turn of the Screw”— at the Castleton Theatre on May 20-21. The cast of this ghost story turned opera will include young singers, as well as talented musicians from The Julliard School nominated by the principal players of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. The performance at will be conducted by Maestro Maazel himself. Supper with the Maazels at the Theatre House will follow the performance. On Sunday afternoon, Kynan Johns, a rising star from Australia who was Maestro Maazel’s assistant at the Royal Opera House last year, will conduct the performance at 4 p.m. The music for this performance is a highly regarded work by Benjamin Britten —"The Turn of the Screw”— based on the famed 1898 novella by Henry James. The story is of a young Governess who goes to an English country house to look after two orphans, a brother and sister. She soon discovers that the children are being haunted by the ghosts of a former governess and valet on the estate, and becomes enmeshed in a struggle to save their souls. Britten’s haunting score accompanies the ghost story to create an atmosphere of mystery . Although a private benefit, some tickets for the Castleton Theatre performance are still available. Interested music lovers are invited to contact Janet Robey for further details at the Castleton Theatre by phone at (540) 937-8969, or by email at janetr® chateauville.org.

Rich Kleinfeldt, speaking for the Quartet, said, “The idea of the ‘three Bs’ in music has been around for a long time and it’s catchy, and predictable. Instead of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, the Quartet picked Bach, Bernstein and the Beatles, because of their impact on music in our tune.” For close to thirty years WsaxQ has given recitals, informed 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. The Quartet has travelled far and wide, including a tour in China. (Their most recently released CD is called "Tb China and Bach.") They have appeared on radio and television worldwide, and are heard most frequently playing the theme music to the NPR program "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 surprised 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. Tickets for the concert at the Theatre on Saturday, May 13 at 8 p.m. are $20 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under.

Ruby Spicer turns 95 On April 15, the family and friends of Ruby Spicer celebrated her 95th birthday at Bethel Baptist Church in Ruckersville, Va. Ruby was bom April 12,1911 in Rappahannock County to Herbert and Ida Jenkins. She has survived the passing of her parents, her sister Sylvia Cloud Armentrout, and four brothers, Raymond, John, Elmer, Gid and Eugene Jenkins. Additionally, she lost her husband, Marion Spicer, two daughters, Hazel Pote and Joyce Nalls, and one granddaughter, Karen Pote. Ruby’s children, Marion Coates and her husband, Charlie; Ruth Leach, Tommy Spicer and his wife June; and Carlton Spicer and his wife Sis all shared in the celebration. Seven of the nine remaining grandchildren and their spouses were also in attendance and ten of her nineteen greatgrandchildren. Her great-great- grandchild was unable to attend. Also in attendance was a niece that she helped to raise from birth, Audrey Jenkins, and her husband, Medford. Ruby also helped with the upbringing of Pauline Latham, Audrey’s deceased sister. Ruby moved in with her daughter Ruth in January 2006. Until that time, she lived in her own home. She continues to be a blessing to all and attributes her long life to her strong faith in God and healthy living. The Garden Club wants you By Helen Williams Special to the Rappahannock News When the words “Rappahannock County Garden Club” appear, do you think of white gloved women with flowered hats arguing over Latin names for daisies and buttercups? Do you think these ladies spend their time drinking tea in dainty cups and directing the gardener to clip the boxwood and fertilize the day lilies? Well, think again. For 57 years, the Rappahannock County Garden Club has been meeting monthly, raising money for scholarships, plan* ning and planting gardens around civic buildings, going to classes, bringing in horticultural exhibits, trading plants, and making flower arrangements - and the only gloves in this club are used to hide the garden dirt under our fingernails. As for flowered hats, several times the members have decorated them for Easter centerpieces, but otherwise rain hats, hair bands to keep hair out of potting soil, and other practical headgear are all that can be seen. On May 17 at 1 p.m., the Garden Club is having an open house meeting at the Washington Fire Hall to show how the club works, and what educational and fundraising projects it supports. Also, how the displays of horticulture, flowers, vegetables, herbs and houseplants increase our enjoyment of the world around us, and how the arranging of seasonal flowers in interesting containers can be as rewarding as it is challenging. Although the club meets monthly ( except February), not all meetings are held in Washington with displays and a program. Some meetings are field trips to unusual houses and gardens. This past year, the club took a trip to Beverly Street in Staunton to learn about the architectural styles and gardens of a unique neighborhood. Other Garden Club activities are classes, such as our “grilled” lunch lesson at Mariott Ranches this past October, when club members donned aprons and worked with the chef. “Concern for the environment and helping children with their education in several different ways are our main goals,” said Susan Jones, Garden Club President. The Christmas greens workshop - six days of hard labor making fresh wreaths, garland and swags to decorate the county for the Christmas season - is the main fundraising event, ana it provides scholarships for graduating seniors, for younger students to attend Nature Camp in the summer, and for the Junior Garden Club. This past year, the first of three days for cutting boxwood, pine, cedar, cypress and other greens was so wet that members who worked were given a special award; in other years, members have been hoisted up in the buckets of tractors to pick the coveted blue berries that grow at the top of the trees. Everyone is cordially invited to attend this Open House meeting. Please call Louise Bondelid at 987-8693 with questions or with your intention to attend. Refreshments will be served at 1 p.m. No Latin spoken, no white gloves needed.

One little word This week, we have a tiny little thing to clear up. Not such a big deal really, but sometimes writers - if I could be pretentious enough to put myself in that categoiy - think everything we put on paper is wonderful. But most assuredly, that is not the case. Last week, I wrote about ' how we came to calling “Clark Hollow,” “Bean Hollow, “and I said that, possibly, there was a map maker’s error or misprint, and that, “... local folk, being smart enough to know that was wrong ...” just went ahead and called it Bean Hollow. In the editing process, the word “not” was inserted, so that it read, “local folk not being smart enough to know that was wrong.” I was ... how shall I say it... a bit perturbed. Again, everybody who writes for the public has to go through the editing process, and that includes me. But, the powers at the News graciously admitted error, and that shall be the end of that. Most folks who know me and the respect I have for all things Rappahannock, especially the people, know that I would never write, “local folk not being smart,” about anything. Let’s move on, shall we? On the bird front We have even more bad Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com news about the beautiful eastern bluebirds that try to inhabit our little piece of Rappahannock. I hope this will be the last I write on this problem. Here is a quick summary of events: Last year, we had something kill the adults, and four little guys starved in their nest. This year, a pair built in the nest attached to a 'fence post, and Linda nailed carpet strips to the post, in hopes of deterring whatever it was that was killing the adults. Whatever it was, it was doing its killing at night. The strips didn’t work. We found another pile of bluebird feathers on the ground at the bird house, and no bluebirds for two days. I took down the nest, and found five cold eggs in it. I put the bird house in the garage, and took down another that we had put up, which wasn’t being used. The previous owner had one bird house, which had not been used in years, nailed to a light pole. I neglected to take that bird house down. Before we knew it, another pair of bluebirds were building in there. Last Tuesday, we found another pile of feathers under the nest, and no sign of the adults for several days. I took the nest down, and there were five more eggs in the nest. Enough is enough. Off with their heads! Teach them well And finally, after reading about all the activities going on with the county school kids, I want to share with you the words in a tiny picture frame that hangs in our house. I do not know who wrote it, but it simply says, “Children are always the only future the human race has; teach them well.” Also, don’t forget to stop by the Rappahannock National Bank and meet the new loan officer. You might recognize him. He has written several of these columns, and is, at least, the sixth generation of Bradys Mother’s Day Do you want to write a card that will knock your mom’s socks off on Mother’s Day? Think about your Mom’s best qualities that you have decided to keep for yourself. Tell her a story about when you saw that quality, and thank her for her gift to you. Here is what one man wrote: Dear Mom, I have always admired the way you thought for yourself and were never intimidated by others. Remember the year the guidance counselor took me out of advanced classes because he thought we were too poor for me to go to college? You went right to school and set him straight! That ability to be deter mined and go after what you believe in is something that I learned from you. It is a gift that I will keep forever and I thank you for it. Love, Your Son (age 60) Consider this: Marianne Walters, a very wise woman, used to say that it is in acknowledging and becoming comfortable with our sameness that we can become comfortable with those ways in which we are different from our mother, and expand our relationship with her. Happy Mother’s Day! Remembering James Leake In 1987, I bought my first property in Sperryville from Realtor James Leake, and in SPERRYV1LLE Barbara Adoifi adolfibarbara@ verizon.net (540) 987-8682 1994, I bought my second house from him. Over the years, each chance meeting at the post office or the Comer Store was filled with stories about people and places in Sperryville. He seemed to know a great deal of local history and most everything that was going on in town. As is true so often in our community, a professional becomes a friend. We will miss our friend James, and remember him fondly. Tourism A group of 12 women have banded together to offer tourism packages in Sperryville that are somewhat unique.

Wedding anniversary wishes are ringing out this Happy Mother’s Day to all Mother’s Day, celebrated on Sunday, May 14, helps us all remember our mothers for all the good they have done us. In 2006, let us all make sure that we take time from the hustle bustle of our lives to thank the women who gave us life. Here is something I would like to share that comes from the lyricist Howard Johnson : “M” is for the million things she gave me; “O” means only that she’s growing old; “T” is for the tears she shed to save me; “H” is for her heart of purest gold; “E” is for her eyes, with love-light shining, “R” means right, and right shell always be. Put them all together, they spell “MOTHER,” A word that means the world to me. Remember how wonderful your mom was to you? Wouldn’t this be an excellent time to say “I love you?” Happenings * Birthday wishes go out to my son, Jonathan Clatterbuck, who is celebrating his day on May 11.

Until next time, stay well, and remember that we are each responsible for all of our domestic livestock. r Umpiring Tfiaugfites by Randy Minter PERSONAL GRIEF While much has been said about it, comfort is still difficult to come by. Grief may be universal, but it is also quite an individual matter. This is one reason why psychologists sometimes have difficulties dealing with it effectively. The manner in which people deal with grief is influenced by culture, religion, and personality. Some people mourn publicly while others withdraw. Some search for meaning by asking what the life of the deceased meant or why death came at this particular time. Others never bother to ask these • questions. Some people want to talk about how they feel; others do not. Grieving over a loss is normal and necessary, and some may get through it best on their own. One thing that can help us with grief is the experience of others who have lost loved ones.

A nurse shares for Nurse’s Week National Nurse’s Week will come to a close on May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. In honor of nurses everywhere, Flint Hill’s Jennifer Matthews decided to share a little of the life of a nurse with Rappahannock County. She already shares her years of experience with nursing students every day at Shenandoah University, and she also serves on the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals. The events below happened to Nurse Matthews around 10 years ago in a local hospital. Some names have been changed to preserve anonymity. A nursing story On the day she got her new roommate, Elizabeth Black was visited by her two daughters and three young grandchildren. An 80-something lady on a gurney from the ER. was being admitted. As I steered the gurney into the room, Mrs. Black looked at her incoming roommate, anticipating an introduction. I started to introduce the ladies but was interrupted by the newcomer. “You don’t have to introduce me to her -1 know her already, and most things about her,” she said. Mrs. Black turned toward the voice, clearly not recognizing the new patient. The incoming patient’s blue eyes locked dead center on Mrs. Black’s eyes, and she said “Lizzy Colton is your name.” A shocked Mrs. Black whis pered JNo one has called me that since before I married, when I was 20 years old.” “Humph, Lizzy Colton.” repeated the new patient. “Who are you, and how do you know me?” said an astonished Mrs Black. The new roommate sniffed and harrumphed again, and decided to let the moment linger a while longer. She kept silent,and the ER nurse and I transferred her to the bed. The ER nurse left but I was not leaving - barring a code - until the relationship was revealed. Mrs. Black stared at her new roommate, searching for a clue. Softly, the new woman said, “Elizabeth Colton, sit up straight and pay attention.” Reflexively, Mrs. Black sat a bit straighter in bed and pushed her hair back, and did not breathe. “I am Annie Smoot, your I Jennifer Matthews, RN first grade teacher,” announced her roommate. There was not a sound in the room as this sank in. • “You are! You are! You are Miss Smoot. But I have not seen you since about the time I was in third grade. How could you remember me from all the students you taught?” exclaimed Mrs Lizzy Colton Black. “I know my students,” Annie replied quietly. I thought, “Wow, this is fantastic. An 84-year-old with such fabulous memory and recall, eyesight, sense of timing, and command.” I still had my nurse assessment to perform to get the patient admitted, but this one time I would delay. The monitor was on. Annie had an IV inserted, and her vital signs were taken before she left the ER and were stable. Annie was obviously mentally intact. This was a moment for these two women, and I didn’t disturb it. The two younger children went to Annie’s bedside, and one grabbed Annie’s hand. “I’m a first grader now. Was grandmother really in the first grade?” she asked. The second grandchild chimed in, “I’m in kindergarten, will you be my teacher next year?” This changed my mind. I thought that this is a time not only for these two women, but also for the next generation, too; Annie is captivating. Hospitalized Annie had worked hard all her life, and always put others before her own needs. She never married, and many of her kin had died or drifted away while she stayed behind. This was her first time in the hospital. She had caught a cold that settled in her chest that she had been unable to shake. She coughed and had little energy, and felt short of breath as she tended her chores; twice she felt faint and had to rest. At first, she refused to go to the hospital, but eventually had to go to the ER where she was admitted to telemetry. This is where I came to know and care about Annie. Annie’s heart was temporarily weakened, but in a day or two she was better and ready to got home. Annie kept her home tidy and enjoyed gardening. She just needed to rest and get back to her routine of getting up early and working on her household chores. In the following days, Annie’s neighbors, friends and grand niece Kerry - her sole relative in the area - dropped by to check on her. Annie never seemed to get her, work started; she was distracted by the interruptions, wanting to rest and talk with her company. Eventually Annie caught another cold, which she could not shake. She was soon readmitted to the hospital. When Annie was in the hospital, she was treated by a specialist instead of her familiar doctor. She tolerated him. Annie liked the nurses better and always wanted to share stories from her years as an educator. She was eager to be discharged; she wanted to get back to her routine. Facing the end Over the next 18 months, Annie went back to the hospital several times. The time between admissions became shorter and the length of her stays grew longer. She managed to continue at her own home but couldn’t do her chores without help from her neighbors, friends, and Kerry. Eventually, Annie was admitted with shortness of breath and an irregular heart rhythm. Whenever possible, we put Annie in a room close to the nurses’ station. Originally, this was for the nurses’ benefit, allowing us to visit with this charming lady and watch our monitors from her doorway simultaneously. Now, it was because her condition was less stable and we could be close and respond quickly. She wanted to talk and share what she knew, but she needed rest to do this. At the time, I worked a shift from 7 p.m. until 3 a.m. One day, when ,1 got to work early, Annie wanted to talk, and her blue eyes told me that she knew her end was near. She was tired and she fought to keep her head up, struggling in her breathing pattern. 8 alEstateiii i:i i Annie was hooked to a telemetry unit, which implied that we nurses were to respond and treat any cardiac events. If Annie had previously indicated that she did not want to be resuscitated, she would not have been on a monitor. Her condition was unstable, cycling between even and quiet for a few minutes to a struggle the next. She was alone in her room; Kerry had not visited that day, and could not be reached. The Respiratory Care therapist felt oxygen under pressure would help, so we put a tight-sealed facemask around her face to provide constant oxygen and airflow pressure. This extra oxygen let Annie open her eyes and give us a look that asked, “Why are you doing this to me?” However, the oxygen therapy, combined with some morphine, calmed Annie. I left her and tended to my other patients. While I was gone, Annie removed the uncomfortable facemask. The therapist decided to remedy this by using an ancient ventilator and installing an oral tracheal tube. Annie’s eyes showed her fear and terror while mine showed fear and anger. I felt that this was all so wrong. Compassion Near midnight, I called Annie’s specialist, who was celebrating his wedding anniversary at the area’s best restaurant. When I said “It is Annie,” he said he would be there in 30 minutes, and didn’t say another word. He left his wife to settle the bill and figure out a way home. Kerry came by the hospital to visit, and stayed with Annie; she spoke and Annie talked back with her eyes. The room was filling. The physician arrived and went to Annie. He sat on her bed and they locked gazes; and there was only the rhythmic sound of the ventilator pushing oxygen matched by the rise and fall of Annie’s chest in response. He asked Annie her age, and she showed him eight fingers, and then six fingers. He asked if she recognized him, and she pointed to his name on her identification tag. He asked her if she was alone, and Annie shook her head, “No”. “Annie, who is with you?” he asked. She stroked Kerry’s hand, she gestured toward me, and she turned her head as if to hear and to see above her - she lifted her hand and swept it in an arc around the room. He said “Are your parents with you?”and she nodded yes. “Are the angels here also?” he asked, and she nodded again and gazed upward with wonder. The physician took her hand in both of his and leaned forward putting his face very close to hers. He told her that he could save her by putting her on a ventilator or pull the breathing tube from her mouth and allow her to go to be with her family in heaven. Annie shook her head at the mention of the ventilator and nodded at the second option, gratitude in her eyes. “Annie, if I do this, you have to understand what will happen. It will take a few hours for your body to stop breathing and for you to die; these may be hours of misery for you. We will give you morphine but it may not cover the entire struggle. If I take you off this machine, you may want to go back on it later” the doctor said. Annie shook her head, telling him “No.” Kerry agreed to call the preacher and honor Annie’s wishes. The physician looked once again into Annie’s eyes. She nodded. He released the cuff balloon and removed the tube; I turned the machine off. Annie spluttered a few seconds and cqughed and tried to talk. Slowly, she found her voice. “I do not want to live in this misery. I am ready to go with the Lord,” she said. She was already laboring as she talked. The physician hugged Annie, kissed her forehead, and left. Another nurse brought a dose of morphine for Annie. I told her it would ease her discomfort and anxiety, but she refused it and asked us to pray with her. We all did. We felt warmth and that the room was filling. I felt sad, but I was not crying. It was peaceful and still and so right in this transition for Annie from life to her family in heaven. I prayed that Annie would not need the morphine in my pocket; I prayed that the preacher would arrive shortly. I prayed for all nurses who are committed to the profession; I prayed for this physician who had carried out the most sensible act I had witnessed. I took the telemetry monitor off Annie. I put a clean gown on her and washed her face, talking softly to her. Her breathing became irregular. The preacher arrived and Annie rallied at his voice. She mumbled, but was unable to open her eyelids. I could hear more fluid filling her lungs and see less struggle as she sank into unconsciousness. As her body was sinking and failing, I wondered at her her heart, spirit, and soul being lifted into peace, tranquility and to love. Parish From Page B1 the deep sleep of the crosscountry bike traveler. “I was exhausted all the time,” said Parish. “Every night I ate all I wanted, and I still lost five pounds on the trip.” He passed through California, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, and has countless stories about the people he met on the way. “I stopped and talked to anyone who wanted to talk,” explained Parish. He remembers a couple in their eighties in Fort Davis, Texas, who “adopted” him and showed him their town. Passing through areas that had been hit by Katrina or her sister storms, he saw “whole towns with tarps on their roofs,” and in Cold Spring, Texas, so many hurricane refugees remained in the town that he had trouble finding a hotel room. He met people who tried to give him money because they thought he needed it, and Parish even met a man who was crossing America just like himself, only this guy was doing it on a unicycle. “He eventually just gave up,” remembered Parish. For the first month of his trip, Parish rode alone. “I wasn’t bored. I had plenty of time to think about everything,” he said. In Austin, Texas, Parish was joined on the trip by his childhood best friend, Mike Morency of Middleburg. The trip was something they’d talked about for a long time. Where the rubber meets the road Even with planning and preparation, on a thousand plus mile bike trip, things go wrong. Parish rode against headwinds as strong as 55 mph, capable of blowing him to a complete stop. He suffered six flat tires on his trip, five of them on his rear wheel, which bore all the weight of his baggage. That same weight occasionally snapped the spokes of Parish’s wheels, a problem that required Parish and the bike to hitch rides from passing cars three times during the trip. He climbed elevations as high as 8200 feet above sea level while he froze in the rarefied air. On top of all that, by the time Parish got to the end of his journey in St. Augustine, Fla. he’d developed a rash on his buttocks. “It didn’t feel very good,” remembered Parish. However it felt, Parish and Morency got to St. Augustine on April 9. They had seen a lot, and though according to Parish he was tempted to cycle up to Rappahannock from Florida, he wanted to get home to his wife, who had been watching the farm while Parish was gone. “I couldn’t have done this without her,” he said. Now that it’s over, Parish claims that his achievement wasn’t that physically difficult. “Virtually anybody could do it. Start out slowly, and by the end, it will be easy. If you do nothing but ride a bike all day for weeks, you’ll get pretty good at riding a bike all day,” he explained. “I loved the heck out of it,” said Parish. ^ —.

Jolliffe Amissville resident Benjamin F. “Bill” Jolliffe, 84, of Amissville, died May 7 at Remembering our mother By Wayne, Judy, Jan and Ray In loving memory of our mother, Edna Jenkins Burke, on Mother’s Day. Sunday, May 14th is set aside to remember our mothers in a special way. We’d like to tell you a little about our mom on this special day. From the moment we took our first breath, she watched over us with loving kindness. And as we grew up, no matter what little bumps or scrapes we endured she was always there with a healing kiss, and it seemed that we were miraculously cured. On Sunday mornings, she’d say “Better get ready for church” Ah. “Another Sunday, Mom?” would cross our minds, but if it weren’t for our mother’s godly concern, who knows if we’d be in church today? Our mother never stopped being a mother, even when it meant a using a switch when it was occasionally needed. Yes, our mother weathered our most threatening storms, and saw them out with a rainbow. She was patient and honest and what she was, we became. You think a lot of your mom, with that rose you wear close to your heart. The red rose is for those still living. And for those moms gone on, the white rose plays its part. If you know the joy of your mom being near, take that rose with the crimson hue, and the next time you see her, give it to her and take her in your arms and say, “Momma, Momma, I love you”. ii you ve lost mat most precious jewel, as we have, take that white rose home with you and put it in a special place to help you remember the mom that God once sent your way. If you’re lucky enough to be near your mom now, just reach out and squeeze her hand, so shell know that you love her. Remember it makes you no less of a man or woman to squeeze her hand and say “I love you mom.” For all that we are or ever hope to be, we owe to God and our mothers. Mother’s Day will bring sad tears to our eyes, for our “mom” has gone on to Heaven. When we visit your grave on Mother’s Day, our pain will not ease, because Mom, Mother’s Day without you there will not be the same. This Mothers Day, let’s take time from our busy lives to say thanks to the women who made our life possible. A mother like ours is more than a memory, she is a living presence. Happy Mother’s Day Mom! Love and miss you dearly, Culpeper Regional Hospital. He was bom March 6, 1922 in Culpeper County to Richard Edwin Jolliffe and Pearl Rosella Settle Jolliffe.

Kappahannock students get technical By Ron and T. Clay Vickers At the end of April, Rappahannock County Technology Student Association members went to Hampton, Virginia for the statewide Technosphere competition held by' the Virginia Technology Student Association. Ron Vickers, who teaches Technology class to Rappahannock County eighth graders, and his wife Layne, who acts as adviser to the RCTSA, brought four middle school chapter members and seven high school members to the three-day Technosphere. Over 2,000 TSA members from all over Virginia attended this year’s conference. For a small, rural school competing at the state level against much larger and better equipped technology programs, Rappahannock has consistently faired well over the years. Visitors to the school can view the 100 or more trophies won by RCTSA teams. Since individual trophies are taken home by students, it is estimated that the total is over 300. Middle School winners Despite fielding only four contestants, Rappahannock County middle schoolers were ranked ninth in the state among all middle schools that attended. Tiffany Wayland, Brittani Dodson, and Joe Vickers won second in the statewide Leadership Challenge. Tiffany won third in the Prepared Speech competition for her presentation on the theme “Pathway to Tomorrow.” Brittani Dodson showed her skills in Technical Report and Writing by winning third in the state. She wrote about global warming, with the subtopic of environmental impacts. Tyler Crews was awarded third in the Technology Bowl written category. His team, which included Tiffany Wayland and Joe Vickers, advanced to top 10 finalists, but was eliminated in the second round of oral competition. Tiffany also placed in the top tlO in a new contest for the Rappahannock team this year called the Career Challenge. “TSA is a great way to learn and have fun at the same time. I even met a few new friends. Nerds rock the world!” exclaimed Wayland. High School winners This year, the team included returning student Larry Oliver, accompanied by Clay Vickers, Matthew Bywaters, and Chris Nugent. The team worked for over five hours on their on-site problem, using aerial orthophotographic files, digital elevation models, census data, and vector files (including street, stream, hydrology, structures). This team effort won them second in the state. Oliver, Bywaters and Kev Martin went on to take second in the Systems Control Technology contest, using software and Legos to solve their on-site problem. “I know this sounds very childish and nerdy, but I played with Legos all weekend,” said Martin.

Capote From Page B6 self-absorption - he barely looks up when Harper Lee, his closest friend, wins the Pulitzer for “To Kill A Mockingbird” (“Don’t see what all the fuss is about” he mumbles into his glass) - make him seem a caricature and barely contained within the membrane separating him from the world. “Capote” draws extensively on the esteemed 1988 biography by Gerald Clark, and it is beautifully crafted by Dan Futterman and Bennett Miller. The music almost painfully draws viewers in, a note slowly drawn then held for a breath, another note, then space. Excellently cast and filmed with fear and yearning, and gratitude for the hope of being understood... all and more are revealed in this fascinating Academy Award nominated film.

Merkle worker Sperryville’s Timothy Hudson poses next to a row of large morel mushrooms, sometimes called “merkles,” that he gathered himself. It is not known if he found the can of Mountain Breeze at the same time, but since it’s only in the picture for scale, we’ll let Mr. Hudson keep some of his secrets. The can of soda is about five inches tall, and some of Hudson’s mushrooms appear to top it by at least an inch, demonstrating that Hudson has made a considerable find. Do you think you can do better?
