Marvin, a Sperryville man accused of sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl, has been delayed until November. Marvin’s court proceedings were originally scheduled to start the morning of August 22 but his attorney Mark Williams filed an emergency motion on August 18 asking for a continuance on the grounds that his client was not competent to assist Williams in his defense. Williams told the Rappahannock County Circuit Court that he nad visited Marvin prior to the trial date and found the defendant acting strangely and refusing to talk about the case. “In order to be competent to stand trial, you have to be able to understand the charges against you, and you have to be able to assist your attorney with your defense,” explained Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. The Court granted the defense’s motion on August 21, and ordered a competency evaluation for Marvin, the results of which will be presented to the court on November 28. Marvin was originally arrested on April 7 by the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office. He is charged with aggravated sexual battery to a victim under age 13 and taking indecent liberCounty and Town Meetings and Notice The Town of Washington’s Planning Commission and ARB will hold a joint meeting on August 28 at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall to continue the review of the draft Historic District Guidelines.

Jenkins and Reed Dove, youthful members of the Old Dominion Hounds Pony Club, recently competed successfully in national and international tetrathlon events. Tetrathlon is a modified version of the Modem Pentathlon, an Olympic sport instituted in 1912. Modem Pentathlon sport replicates skills required by a military messenger in Napoleonera France, including riding horseback, defending himself with the sword and pistol, swimming across a river and running the remaining distance to the front lines. The .tetrathlon, introduced to the United States Pony Club in 1972, eliminates the fencing requirement for its competitors. The Pony Club Tetrathlon requires each athlete to shoot an air pistol at 10 meters, demonstrate riding skills on a predetermined course, run a cross country course, and swim. “Each division competes at a slightly different level,” said Jenkins. “The shooting and riding demonstrate skill, while the swimming and running demonstrate your strength and endurance as an athlete.” International competitor Jenkins, 17, has competed as a tetrathlon athlete for six years. Although he has competed in National Championship events in the past, this summer was his first time competing in the International Tetrathlon Exchange. Jenkins was one of four athletes selected for the US boys team, competing with other teams from Great Britain, Ireland and Canada. The international competition was hosted by the United States and Canada this year. The international teams challenged each other at the US Championships East in Lexington, Virginia and in the National Tetrathlon Championships in King City, Ontario. National Champion Reed, 14, competed at the national champiorv'r * level in Lexington during the US HORSEMAN: Reed Dove fits his horse “Lightning” with a harness. Championships East competition. This was Reed’s forth year competing at a national level, and he won 1st place in the Junior division. > Reed also had the highest score in the shooting event with a score of 810. “Ninety eight percent of shooting is mental,” Reed said as he demonstrated his Olympic air pistol. “You have to remain completely calm; you can’t let anything affect you.” Jenkins and the US tetrathlon team placed third in the international exchange match. “Our first performance in Lexington wasn’t as good as we would have liked,” said Jenkins, “but this was our teams first year competing with the international teams. We were a little nervous.” See ATHLETES, Page A8 Samuel A. Marvin ties with a minor. He was arrested by the RCSO after a woman heard his alleged victim describing what sounded like incidents of sexual abuse, and informed Social Services. Since his arrest, he has twice been denied bond. According to Peter Luke, Marvin’s competency to stand trial will be determined by a court appointed forensic examiner , usually a mental health expert. If Marvin is found to be incompetent to stand trial, the court will order that the defendant’s competency See MARVIN, Page A3 r - ti—a—i Photo by Brenda Van Ness Creative campers This wonderful camp held at the Rappahannock County Park is taught by art teacher Janet Kerig and held twice a year, once in the spring and again in the summer.

By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Carnivals and parades stir a sense of community in most people, especially in small rural settings like Rappahannock County and quaint villages like Flint Hill. Blessed with perfect weather, throngs of visitors came from all over the Piedmont to celebrate Flint Hill’s 52nd Carnival and Parade this past week. From all accounts, it was one of their best. For some, the high attendance was the attraction of a small-town parade with beauty queens and majorettes. Others—especially the children and their fathers—were ' attracted to the flashing lights and highly-polished finishes of huge fire engines and the fas cination of restored antique cars or old tractors chugging along. Still others fell in love with the irresistible Shetland ponies in the parade and at the carnival. And everyone marveled at the beautiful Appaloosa and Arabian horses that rode by, groomed and prepped for this occasion. At the carnival, many of the attractions were scene stealers as always. Watching the thrill of little children enjoying the Merry-Go-Round with its old fashioned music and glistening enameled horses is as much fun for the big folks as it is for the kids. Older kids and some parents enjoyed the more adventurous rides—like the “Round Up” contraption that lifts you up and flattens you to the grill as »i t Bob Chappell and his “One-Gig Blue Grass Band” performed for an appreciative audience.

And if bingo and a dozen other games of chance were not enough, there was home-cooked food and desserts that also helped create the magic atmosphere of the carnival. And the honors and prizes went to ... The 4-day carnival concluded late Saturday evening with the crowning of the Honorary Fire Chiefs and the much-anticipated raffles. Chosen on the basis of raffle tickets sold, a number of winners were announced on Saturday night. Topping the honors were Miss Flint , Hill Honorary Fire Chief, Lauren Burke. Victoria Hart was chosen as first runner up for Miss Flint Hill Honorary Fire Chief. Little Miss Flint Hill was Alex Williams and her runner up was Heather Henry.

Special thanks to the volunteers In a post-carnival interview, Bill Welch, president of the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Co., expressed a special thank you for all those people who worked so hard to make the carnival and parade happen. “I want to especially thank the firemen and many volunteers, including the Ladies Auxiliary, for all their hard work in cooking and serving the food, manning the booths, parking the cars, playing the music, bush hogging the fields and policing the area,” Welch said. “All these people did a myriad of critical tasks to make the car1 Ask the Arborist SBy Jamie Wood I.S.A. Certified Arborist Preventing Deer Rub Damage The fall is mating season for deer, which brings its own set of problems for trees. Bucks damage young trees to mark territory and to show their dominance. One buck can damage hundreds of trees by thrashing his antlers up and down against trunks and branches. This can shred bark, break branches and even uproot trees. Young, smooth barked trees are more attractive as rubbing sites than larger trees. Individual trees can be protected against rubbing injury with several methods. A common technique involves placement of fencing around each tree. Research conducted at The Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories has found an effective method that will not impact the appearance of the landscape. This method uses just one small plastic dispenser of predator (wolf, coyote, or bobcat) urine hung from each tree. Ask your Bartlett Arborist Representative for details because this approach is not for every property. For example, dogs will find the dispensers extremely interesting!

fs rural Virginia ready for the Avian Flu? By Susan Anspach Rappahannock News Staff Writer “We’re due for a pandemic. •Avian influenza could be it,” said Kathy Hatter, emergency planner for the Rappahannock-Rapid an Health District, which includes Rappahannock County. “And we know when it comes it will be no small matter.” Hatter, who organizes a district-wide emergency task force, isn’t trying to raise •unnecessary alarm. She’s Jsimply stating the facts, and rhe facts are as follows. There is no guarantee an ian influenza pandemic Will occur. But if a new and Revere strain of bird flu that •uld be passed from human human were to begin ipreading across the globe, ,/irginia would not be spared i*from its impact. 5 It’s the degree of impact Jthat is the control variable, Jwhich is why the task force, •compOSed of representatives Jfngn Orange, Culpeper, •Madison, Rappahannock and J2Tauquier counties, and “representatives from district •school systems have recently Sheen working to prepare the Region for a worst-case •scenario * # Distribution of infor FAQs What is a flu pandemic? Influenza is a respiratory virus that causes fever, cough, muscle aches and tiredness. A pandemic is an outbreak of a newly emerging flu virus that occurs ' worldwide. It is not the • same thing as a seasonal outbreak, and ' it can cause serious illness and sometimes death since people do not have immunity to the new strain. Will the seasonal flu shot protect against pandemic flu? Unfortunately, no. Once a pandemic begins, and the exact virus is identified, it will likely take several months to come up with an effective vaccine. How does one take care of someone sick with the flu? As with the seasonal flu, drink plenty of fluids, get lots of rest, take ibuprofen for fevgr and if condition worsens, contact a health care provider immediately. What risks do Virginians face if a pandemic outbreak • occurs? . The severity of the next pandemic cannot be predicted, but the State’s Department of Health says modeling studies suggest a “medium-level” pandemic in the absence of any control ; measures. That equates to 2,700-6,300 deaths, 12,000-28,500 ; hospitalizations and 1.08-2.52 million people infected in the ; Commonwealth. Just in case: Outbreak preparations • Stock up. Begin storing non-perishable, easy-toprepare foods that require little or no water. Keep a supply of water and emergency materials, like prescription and non-prescription medicines, flashlights with batteries, a portable radio, toilet paper and disposable diapers. • Keep it simple. In the event of an outbreak, the importance of basic health habits cannot be stressed enough, and it’s never to early to start practicing. Stay at home when you’re sick, wash your hands and cough and sneeze into the crook of your arm — not into your hands. • Plan ahead. Identify family members, friends and neighbors who may need assistance in the case of an emergency. Ask your employer about the business’ plan of action in the case of an outbreak; do the same with your children’s schools. Take into consideration a possible reduction or loss of income if you’re unable to work. mation is one key responsibility, starting with the members of the task force themselves. A “Pandemic Influenza Summit” was held on June 21st by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District at Culpeper County High School. Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy attended as a representative of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. “We presented an overview of what pandemic flu is,” explained Hatter. “And broke down into some specifics.” How to spread precautionary messages to the community at large is a second major consideration. “We needed a good way to get the message across,” said Hatter. “People need information on what a pandemic flu is and how they can prepare at home.” In Rappahannock County, the sparse population density and rural nature make it hard to widely disseminate information, a problem highlighted during the hunt for fugitive Ira Wayne Cloniger earlier this summer. Rappahannock relies mostly on volunteers for fire and emergency services. The Rappahannock News is the only local newspaper and media outlet and there are few alternative methods for spreading information in Jfauquier bounty, the plan is to distribute fliers and packets to students and parents at the county’s schools this fall. Information will be included on bird flu basics and how to provide home care for those who contract the disease. “Even using the schools only gets us to about 800 people,” Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy said. In the case of an outbreak, however, it’s likely some county schools schools will be called upon to do more than just distribute pamphlets. Options could include using the county’s buses to deliver meals to quarantined people or employing the facilities themselves as overflow space for community hospitals. Of course, if it comes down to using the schools as makeshift hospitals, that creates the problem of continuing students’ education, a problem with no clear solution as yet. According to information provided by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, the realization of a pandemic will occur under a set of specific conditions. First, a new subtype of influenza that has not infected people in the past has to derive from an existing strain or strains. That can happen in two ways; either two flu strains can exchange gene segments, or one strain can mutate on its own. To pose as a pandemic threat, the new subtype must cause severe illness in people and be capable of sustained person-to-person transmission. “The whole idea behind influenza is that it changes,” said Hatter. “Flus change; the bird flu in Asia might change, but we don’t know how yet.” As the strain stands now, only people in close contact with birds are at a risk of catching the virus. “We’re watching it very closely for mutations,” Hatter stressed. A pandemic usually originates in a single focus area and spreads to other parts of world via travel routes. Typically, there are high rates of illness and increased mortality rates in all age groups. Onset can occur in any season of the year, and secondary and tertiary waves may occur over the next one to two years, usually in the winter. In the past 100 years, there have been three influenza pandemics worldwide, the first and most severe of which was the 1918 Spanish Flu. Forty years later, the 1957 Asian Flu strain evolved, and in 1968 the Hong Kong Flu originated (some strains of which still circulate today). Historically, pandemics occur every 30 or 40 years. “The bird flu is not definitely going to be the next pandemic,” Hatter said. “But we’re going to have one eventually. It is important that we do specific strategic things to prepare.” Email the reporter: sanspach@timespapers. com. More of what you’re looking for.

The hostel commonly stays open from mid-April to mid - July. For $15 a person, he lets Appalachian Trail Thru-hikers (hikers following the AT from its beginnings in Georgia to its end in Maine) sleep in bunk beds in his basement. He sells them ice cream and microwave pizza, lets them take showers, and gives them lifts into Front Royal. Tterrapin Station is proclaimed in AT guidebooks, and lauded on the Internet. It’s also been operating illegally the entire time it’s existed. When County Administrator John McCarthy was informed by some of Evans’ neighbors of the existence of Terrapin Station earlier this year, he ordered Evans to cease operations. Two similar letters and a letter from County Attorney Peter Luke later, Evans decided to begin the process required to operate his hostel legally. He came before the Rappahannock County Planning Commission at their August session for that purpose. “It’s a good opportunity for hikers to rest and rejuvenate before continuing on to more difficult parts of the trail,” explained Evans. In order for a private residence to be used to commercially house transients (the term Rappahannock County’s ordinance uses for non permanent residents), the operator must obtain a special use permit from the Board of Zoning appeals. The use must be approved by Rappahannock News Staff PhotcyMonty Taytoe TERRAPIN THREATENED? Mike Evans came before the Rappahannock County Planning Commission last week in defense of his hostel. the county health department, and meals and lodgings taxes must be paid to the county. For four years Evans did none of these things. According to Evans, when he decided to open Terrapin Station he asked the county if he needed a business license, was told no, and left it at that. Evans’ neighbors were not initially aware that the hostel was operating illegally, but many had problems with its operation nonetheless. “There’s five different people staying there seven days a week. They wander all over the place, and I’m afraid,” said Darlene Snyder who fives behind Evans. She said that mistaken hikers often wander into her yard looking for the hostel, and that she can see them stripping and urinating in Evans’ yard from her home. Neighbor Charlotte Ralston agrees and told the planning commission that she had seen Evans’ guests wandering the neighborhood at night, consuming alcohol. “These people wander all over the place. Some of them are fugitives, there’s good people and bad people,” said Ralston According to Evans and his Attorney Mike Brown, there has never been a medical emergency or law enforcement visit to Terrapin Station in the four years it has been operating. In addition, some of Evans’ neighbors spoke in his support at the Planning Commission meeting. “I’m proud that our neighborhood is close to the trail. Whether [Evans] was doing it or not, we’d still have those people here, and Fd rather have them at Mike’s then camping in the woods,” said neighbor Sherry Holland. Prior to the Planning Commission meeting, Evans paid the entire amount of back taxes owed to the county for the four years Terrapin Station was operating illegally. “You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t,” said planning commission Chairman Charles Strittmatter, pointing out that Evans’ hostel was a tax benefit to the county but could be seen to infringe on his neighbors right to epjoy their property. In the end, the planning commission voted 3-2 to recommend Terrapin Station’s permit for approval, pending health department approval, the installation of some kind of screening to protect his neighbors from looking into his yard, and a sign so that hikers can more easily find the hostel. Evans would also be required to reapply for his special use permit in one year. His application went befqre the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals for a final decision on Wednesday, August 23, too close to press time to be covered by this issue of tfte Rappahannock News. ;; Email the reporter at mtayloe@timespapers.com !.

Rappahannock County is known for its focus on conservation with numerous groups dedicated to that purpose. As we were going to press on Wednesday, we received the following from Governor Kaine and it seemed timely to share. Governor Timothy M. Kaine announced results of a statewide survey showing widespread support for using government resources to protect open space. The survey also shows that many Virginians consider outdoor recreation and access to open space to be important to their families. The questions on protecting natural resources and open space were part of the Virginia Outdoors Survey, conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University for the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. The 3,300-household, mail survey was conducted as part of the revision of the state’s comprehensive outdoor recreation and open space planning guide, the Virginia Outdoors Plan. The 30-question survey has a two-percent margin of error. Nearly 78 percent of respondents answered “yes” to the question “Should the state spend public funds to prevent the loss of exceptional natural areas to development?” When asked how important is it to protect Virginia’s natural and open space resources, 67 percent said it was “very important” and 28 percent said it was “important.” Less than two-percent said it was not important. “The results of this survey reinforce our belief that the people of Virginia have a great concern for this Commonwealth’s landscapes and open spaces,” said Governor Kaine. “It also shows our citizens expect their state government to take a leadership role in natural resource protection.” More than 70 percent of those surveyed said they favored outright purchase from willing sellers as an appropriate tool for conserving open space. “Working in a bipartisan way with the General Assembly, we have started to step-up our efforts to protect open space by forging consensus on common-sense changes to our existing land conservation tax credit program,” Governor Kaine said. “In addition, we have set an ambitious goal of protecting an additional 400,000 acres by the end of this administration - a goal that will require doubling the number of acres currently protected each year.” Several survey questions revealed that Virginians recognize the importance of outdoor recreation and access to open space. When asked about the importance of access to outdoor recreation opportunities for their families, more than nine-in-ten respondents indicated it was “important” or “very important,” and fewer than 10% percent said it was “not important.” The Virginia Outdoor Survey also looked at how Virginians spend their time in the outdoors and ranked the top 20 outdoor recreational activities. The top activity, walking for pleasure, was unchanged from the 1992 and 2000 surveys. Water-related activities took four of the top ten activities (swimming 4th, visiting beaches 6th, fishing 7th, and boating 10th). The percentage of people driving for pleasure dropped nearly seven-percent from the 2000 survey. Visiting historic sites saw a 15 percent percent increase, and visiting natural areas rose by more than 17 percent. “When looking at all of the activities ranked, it appears more people are visiting historic sites, parks and other natural areas to enjoy the outdoors,” said Secretary of Natural Resources L. Preston Bryant, Jr. “This also demonstrates the public’s desire to have natural and historic resources that are not only preserved, but accessible as well.” The survey also focuses on the Virginia State Park system and the public’s expectations from the awardwinning 34-park system. More than 40 percent of respondents said they had visited a Virginia State Park within the previous year. “Lack of information” and “too far from home” were the top two reasons cited for not visiting a state park. v Letters Watch out for trailers The Virginia area is known worldwide for its beautiful hunt country and its horse sports. However, as the area experiences rapid growth, people forget that parts of it are still a working countryside, which causes traffic complications when the average commuter isn’t properly informed about driving around horses or horse trailers. Many riders ride along the shoulder of the road - we call this “trail riding.” In Virginia, the law mandates that the horse and rider the same right on the road as a bike or a car. Honking your horn, aggressively trying to pass, or accelerating to speed by is a good way to get both of us killed. While as riders we do our best to train our horses to handle difficult situations, and to avoid riding in the road, a driver still needs to be conscientious of the fact that loud noises such as a car horn can startle even the most bombproof animal - possibly right into incoming traffic. The average deer is less than 150 lbs. The average horse weighs 1,200 lbs. It is incredibly dangerous to the horse, rider, and drivers on the road for a car to hit a horse, or for a horse to hit a car, regardless of the speed. In regards to other transportation, driving a horse trailer is akin to driving any other large tractor-trailer. While both the truck and the trailer have brakes, it physically cannot stop on a dime, and attempting to do so is liable to jackknife the trailer, flip the trailer, or otherwise cause an accident. The average two horse truck and trailer, loaded, weighs upwards of 7,000 lbs, and many trailers are double that size, for four horses. That means just a two horse rig weighs at least twice what the average sedan weighs, and a four horse weighs even more. I will never tailgate you - but please do not cut me off. I do not want my 7,000+ lb rig to go into the back of your car, potentially injuring you or your family. The truck and trailer MUST stop and start slowly. My horse is standing in the See BRYEN, Page A5 ‘Rappahannock Night’ another winner We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who played a part in this year’s Rappahannock Night at Camp Fantastic.

We appreciate all the time he spent talking to us and other participants at Camp Fantastic and putting the article together. Bev Atkins and Jan Besecker, Co-coordinators Sandra Jenkins Ester Settle Jan Makela Marie Davis Dave Hilty, Rappahannock Lions Club Staying the course - twice Some readers of my last week’s letter to the editor may wonder how I dealt with the greedy, pugnacious, market-oriented hummingbird who was intent on monopolizing the feeder I had put out with the intention that it serve all the hummers in my garden. The answer to the problem was simplicity itself. I put out a second feeder at some distance removed from the first. The resulting marketplace was then too big for the No. 1 hummer, so that the middle and lower class hummers had free access to the nectar. One morning, I saw four hummers at one feeder at the same time - a truly Democratic result. The offending hummer was, as I have noted, male. But, as a rule, both male and female hummers are aggressive. That’s just the way they have evolved. Not so with us humans. With us, the male is far more aggressive than the female. Males, as soldiers, fight wars, pre-emptive or otherwise, they play professional football, beat up their wives, and act as bullfighters, steeplejacks, truck drivers and exterminators in an unregulated, dog-eat-dog, devil-take-the-hindmost, corporate-dominated marketplace, among other things. Why is this so? Well, the human male’s behavior is determined by his genetic and hormonal makeup. In the beginning of human history, when this makeup evolved, Paleolithic man really needed his aggressive tendencies to survive in a hostile world. With other men of his tribe, armed only with a club, spear, and flint knife, he left his cave to do battle with marauding saber-toothed tigers, or to attack, kill, and butcher the nearest hairy mammoth, to provide meat for his family. Alas, the saber-toothed tigers and hairy mammoths have long since disappeared from the scene, but the human male’s genes and hormones remain to plague soci ety. Some human males have indeed been somewhat domesticated and are now able to exert some control over their baser instincts. But others, with raging genes and hormones, and in the absence of saber-toothed tigers and hairy mammoths, seem determined to visit their aggression on the common people, in both this country and the world at large. This is, I submit, the reason why they support the Republican Party of Bush, Cheney, Rove, and Rumsfeld, who also have raging genes and hormones. Lee Bird Flint Hill It is not a marble orchard Regarding the headline in the Rappahannock News, August 17. I took great offense to that headline which reads as follows. “Own your own Marble Orchard.” It is not a marble orchard, what it is, is the final resting place of loved ones and pioneers who stetted here, and being bom here. When pioneers arrived, what they found was virgin fertile ground that required 18 hour work days consisting of hard physical labor where if you could afford it the use of mules or horses. They grew crops and then worried about rain, storms and wild animals, and other problems associated with farming. Much like farmers today, the difference is today farmers use high powered equipment. In my opinion it doesn’t matter who owns the final resting place of loved ones. The article reads like a soliciting for sale. Mr. Kerrick should consider it an honor to care for the Masonic Cemetery, after all there are soldiers who fought for various reasons for the sovereignty’s of the state of Virginia. Is this the pay back they receive by referring to their final resting place as a “Marble Orchard?” Sometimes money should not be an important issue, unless one is seeking to possibly be making a full scale effort to dissenter bodies from one place to another for one’s own personal gain. And what about loved ones who help make “Little Washington” what it is today? There are new people who have no personal connection of what it means to own land other then what the intrinsic value of the land is. I urge people to really think about what is going on in their perspective countries, and not be agreeable to so called legal land grabbing techniques. If Mr. Kerrick is that frustrated about his responsibilities at the Masonic Cemetery maybe he needs to consider retirement and leave things as they are, a beautiful resting place for our loved ones. Saundra Shifa Richardson Washington Protecting our park Richard Lykes’ excellent article on our neighboring Shenandoah National Park in the August 10 issue of Rappahannock News was thorough, enlightening, and alarming. The current situation in which the Park finds itself will take more than wellmeaning but casual partner ships with our local tourism community to make any noticeable, positive impact on visitation revenues. A longterm, county- and communitysupported tourism strategy, which incorporates eco-, agri-, and heritage tourism programs, is what is needed. Such a program, developed in support of the goals of the county’s Comprehensive Plan and in partnership with other destinations in the Piedmont Region, will provide increased tax revenue for the county and for our neighboring Shenandoah National Park. It will bring greater stability for our small businesses whose livelihood is, partially if not entirely, dependent on visitors for success and will provide increased tax revenue for the county and for our neighboring Shenandoah National Park. Barbara Adolf! Sperryville Smoke in my eyes I enjoyed the Flint Hill parade. The spectators were enthusiastic and polite. It wasn’t as politically partisan as I was told former parades have been. Maybe Flint Hill is getting liberal. There was an great array of beauty princess es and fire engines. I’m glad there are men and women skilled in the operation of those life and property saving machines. The flashing lights, the polished chrome fittings, and the bright paint were impressive. Impressive too were the men and women in uniform. I’m sure many young boys and girls were impressed too and hold the, fire and rescue personnel in high esteem and see them as role models. One thing marred the image however, cigarette smoking by those role models in uniform and in public. They work hard to save lives, glamorizing cigarette smoking runs counter to their lofty purpose. Mike Millan Sperryville A couple of things In the story (Castleton fire company turns 50 - August 17) Mr. Woodward stated that you could always tell when Ray Cannon or his brother, Alfeas (should be “Alphaeus”) were operating the siren as they never did it right. I do not recall anything like that happening. I do not know how he got this false information. There was no problem with « operating the siren. It was very simple. It was to be sounded a different number of times depending on whether it was for fire, rescue or a meeting. The picture of the old Buffalo fire truck was taken at my house and not at the Cannons Store as stated in the paper. Ray T. Cannon Castle ton 1

The Final Nail in the pension coffin? What the New ‘Pension Protection’ Act really means for your future If you think the law Congress just passed shores up your Golden Years, think again. Retirement plan expert Jim Lange says that, despite its name, the only “protection” workers have is a fierce determination to provide for their own futures. America faces a pension crisis of epic proportions. Some 30,000 “defined benefit plans” are underfunded to the tune of $450 billion. And most financial experts believe the law Congress just passed—the Pension Protection Act of 2006—is at best a band-aid on the problem. Indeed, many of them feel the new law, which requires most pension plans to become fully funded over a seven-year period, is the legislative equivalent of “destroying the village in order to save it.” When cash-strapped companies are forced to comply, they will almost certainly abandon or freeze their existing plans. According to CPA and attorney Jim Lange, the law sounds an ear-splitting clarion call to the 44 million Americans covered by traditional pension plans. Warning, warning! The alarm bell is shrieking. You’re on your own! “Here’s the bottom line,” said Lange, author of the bestselling book, Retire Secure! Pay Taxes Later: The Key to Making Your Money Last as Long as You Do “You, and only you, are responsible for funding your retirement. You can no longer depend on your employer and it’s hardly worth mentioning that Social Security isn’t going to get you very far. As corporate icons like GM, Verizon, IBM, Sears, Lockheed Martin, Motorola, Circuit City and Hewlett Packard declare pension freezes, Americans need to reevaluate their retirement plans.” ine new law is designed to protect not only workers, but also the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC), the pension provider of last resort that has to step in when companies renege on their promises. The PBGC is ultimately funded by—who else?—the U.S. taxpayers. If enough companies fail to fund their pensions, the potential bailout could make the savings and loans bailout look like chump change. The new law is enormous: almost 1,000 pages that cover 100 tax revisions. The average tax-paying American is probably wondering, After cutting through the obscure points and mountains of legalese, how will the Pension Protection Act of 2006 impact me? Lange offers a few insights: • Employees must make the huge psychological shift away from “someone will take care of me” to “I must take care of myself.” As more employers decide to terminate their defined benefit plans, employees who had been participants in the plan will be at risk for losing their pensions (worst case scenario), or reduced pensions (best case scenario). New employees would be required to participate in defined contribution plans— which transfer greater responsibility to the employee to save for retirement and assume all of the investment risk. And if there is no employer matching for the defined contribution plan, the total responsibility of saving for retirement falls on the employee. “Not only does this force the issue of saving for retirement on the employee—and at a time when statistics show that the American public is not saving adequately—it pulls the psychological rug out from under people who have traditionally relied on the good governance and discipline of the company they work for,” notes Lange. • Employees must save as much as possible for their retirement years, starting right now. With the shift from defined benefits plans to defined contribution plans employees must learn that it is critical to fund their Roth 401(k)s (if available), 401(k)s, Roth IRAs or traditional IRAs (if eligible) and other retirement plans to the maximum. “In light of this new law, the need for an aggressively funded retirement plan has never been more apparent,” said Lange. “A second component of the new law is that employers are pd*rmitted to educate their employees on their retirement investment options and on the risks/benefits associated with ‘being in the market,’” he added. “Of course, whether that is good news or not depends on the competence of benefits personnel. A word to the wise: make it your business to learn about the importance of asset allocation and the benefits of a well diversified portfolio.” ■ ^oniriDuung to your retirement plan is now “automatic.” The new law makes it easier for employers to automatically enroll their employees in the company’s 401(k) plan. The company would set default contribution limits and the employee would have to “opt out” should he (unwisely) decide to not participate. “This is one way to address the problem of employees not having something of a safety net for retirement,” said Lange. “It would ensure that some retirement saving occurs—again with the attendant risks/benefits of “being in the market’ falling on the employee.” • Here’s the good news: it just got a lot easier to save for retirement. On the plus side of the equation, the new law makes permanent incredible income tax saving vehicles that will allow taxpayers to make larger IRA, Roth IRA Roth 401(k) and other retirement plan contributions. Prior to the law’s signing, some of the contribution limits and other provisions were due to expire in 2010. Since these laws are now permanent, taxpayers can confidently make retirement and estate planning decisions to secure their future and their family’s future. a. Higher Roth IRA or IRA contributions of $4,000 per year, $5,000 in 2008 and higher amounts adjusted for inflation thereafter b.

If I start fast or stop fast, gravity gets my horse. These animals cost upwards of thousands of dollars and are very easily injured. In many cases, this sacrifices someone’s livelihood as well as their pets. I live in fear of being cut off and being tailgated - it is unbelievable what happens when a horse trailer gets rear ended - unlike hitting a large tractor-trailer, the car behind me won’t just cause minimal frame damage. You will kill my horse, and you put yourself in extreme danger - imagine a horse going through your windshield. Essentially, I am writing to beg - please use common sense. Please give horses and horse trailers the space and respect that they need, and help us prevent unnecessary tragedies. I ride my horse and drive my rig in the manner that is safest for everyone on the road, and I hope everyone else will do the same.

Faster 3 or 6 year vesting schedules on employer matching contributions e. Roth 401(k) and 403(b) plans are also now permanent f. For lower income taxpayers, the Saver’s Credit, which would have expired at the end of 2006, has also been made permanent. “Even though most people probably didn’t even realize some of these laws were set to expire, their benefits package has likely been affected by the uncertainty,” points out Lange. “For instance,, many companies have never put the Roth 401(k) and 403(b) plans on their menu of options since they didn’t know if they’d have to pull them off again in a few years. Now employers have an incentive to offer them.” Even if you’re one of the countless small business employees (or self-employed individuals) who never had a pension to lose, Lange said you would do well to buy into the overarching “self-reliance” theme embodied in the new law. “You must take decisive action to shore up your retirement savings,” he urges. “Sit down with a qualified retirement planning expert and plot out a reasonable, long-term strategy that depends, for the most part, on your own ability to maximize your retirement assets. If you fail to take the • responsibility for your retirement security onto your own shoulders, you are seriously endangering your ‘golden years.’ The tide is turning toward self-reliance, and those who don’t go with it will be swept away.” About the author: James Lange, CPA I Attorney, is a nationally recognized IRA, 401(k), and retirement plan distribution expert.

Terror paralyzes Virginia Tech I went to bed Sunday night excited and eager to attend my first class of the fall semester. But when I woke up and checked my email as I do every morning, I found a message from school officials indicating that classes were canceled. As I read further with a bewildered look I soon found out that a spspected murderer was on the loose at my school and that no one should come to campus or leave their dorms. The school was gripped by paralysis as everything was on lock down and nobody could enter or leave the school; a manhunt was underway. I immediately turned on CNN to see if this made national news, and sure enough they were showing video of students sprinting out of Squires Hall with terror in their eyes accompanied by armed police officers and SWAT team officials. It was believed that the escaped convict William Morva, 24, had been seen inside Squires Hall and that he may have a hostage. There were SWAT teams on guard, snipers on the roof and local police surrounding the building as a helicopter chopped above trying to find Morva; quite an unexpected first day of school to say the least. I had heard about this guy Sunday morning as I was standing in line at Starbucks. I overheard a couple of older The College Scene Brant Marlett women in front of me talking about an escaped convict who had apparently shot and killed a local law enforcement officer and a hospital worker and who was now on the run in my own backyard. “Lock your doors,’ she said with an anxious chuckle as she stepped out the door. I didn’t really pay any mind to the conversation and forgot all it, until this morning. Morva had escaped from Montgomery Regional Hospital after he was brought in for injuries sustained to his wrist and ankle. He was being held at Montgomery County Jail awaiting trial for an attempted robbery charge stemming from last year. After a long and exhausting search for Morva, police finally captured him near th Virginia Tech campus where he was apprehended and taken into police custody. Classes will resume thei; regular schedule tomorrow and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief as all is back to normal in my sleepy little col lege town.

Shenandoah National Park is recruiting volunteers Shenandoah National Park invites the public to join in a National Public Lands Day Event for a day of learning and participation in the identification and control of invasive exotic plants on September 30. Park staff and volunteers will describe the situation regarding invasive plant threats and current impacts on native wildflowers. They will also lead expeditions around Big Meadows where the public may join in to protect the meadow’s beauty by controlling known invasive plant threats. This event is intended to show how the public can volunteer to fight back against invasive plants and how with simple awareness they can avoid environmental problems at home. Activities begin 9:00 a.m. Saturday at Big Meadows with an informative talk called the “Story of Natives.” The talk is foDowed by a hands-on activity in Big Meadows. The talk and work session will be repeated at 1:30 p.m. Free park admission to attend the event is available by contacting the Shenandoah National Park’s Invasive Plant Management office in advance at (540) 999-3496. Over 23 percent of the plant species at Shenandoah National Park are not native to the area. Many of those plants do not have the natural biological control agents from their home environments and thus have unfair advantage over natives. They are invasive. Though exotic plants are not new to the area, the impacts of invasive exotics are increasingly serious. Native species are being displaced and the processes of forest succession are being stopped by the overwhelming presence of such plants as garlic, mustard, kudzu, mile-a-minute vine, Oriental bittersweet, tree of heaven and others. Without controls, it may become impossible to maintain the Park’s designated federal wilderness in a natural untrammeled condition. By presidential Executive Order #13112, the National Park Service and other federal agencies are directed to control invasive species. This National Public Lands Day at the Meadow event is part of a larger program for increasing public volunteerism in national parks and is made possible by a grant from the National Park Foundation and Tauck Foundation. ARAMARK Convention and Tourism Services, the authorized concessioner responsible for providing lodging and other visitor services in the park, invites people interested in staying overnight to contact them for reservations at (800) 999-4714. Who was Opechancanough? Opechancanough, a chief of the Pamunkey nation, was a maternal relative of the paramount chief Powhatan. Identified as one of Powhatan’s successors to the paramount chiefdom, he also acted as war chief or military leader for Powhatan. Opechancanough was leading the party of Indians who captured Captain John Smith when the latter went on an exploratory venture up the Chickahominy River late in 1607.

The English misinterpreted these attacks as an attempt to oust them from Virginia, and retaliated with hostilities against the Indians for several years. After Opechancanough became paramount chief in 1629, he organized similar attacks once more in 1644. He was unable to walk, and carried on a hurdle to the ensuing skirmishes. Shortly thereafter, when he was nearly 100 years old, he was captured by Virginia Vignettes the English and imprisoned at Jamestown, where he was killed when a prison guard shot him in the back. Opechancanough is still revered today by Virginia Indians as a hero and early protector of their lands. “The Gold Standard in Equestrian Construction” Toll-free: 1-88&60LOCUP (1-888465-3287) &-40LD-CTP la—rp—Ud ] &v, QNG&$1IS s3S> Excellent quality ^at an affordable price ~ Marshall, Virginia~ Fencing, Barns, Sheds ~Va.

Johns Hopkins University honors top middle school students across the country I Rappahannock County’s Public Schools in Virginia can be especially proud of the accomplishments of three of their talented students. Tfessa Crews of Castleton, Dylan Stoner formerly of Chester Gap, and Jessica Boutte, of Flint Hill, Virginia were included in the top 460 of the most academically gifted young seventh and eighth graders in the country who were honored on Saturday, June 17 at the Grand Awards Ceremony hosted by The Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY). Among the middle school students invited: All earned a 700 or higher on at least one section of the college SAT, or a 28 or higher on the ACT 78 achieved perfect scores of 800 on a given section of the SAT Three eighth graders distinguished themselves with perfect scores of 1600 for Math & Critical Reading Tessa Crews receiving CTY certificate. School starts Monday By Charlie Spiering Rappahannock News Staff Writer School starts for Rappahannock County Public Schools this Monday as staff members anticipate 361 high school students. “This is pretty much what we expected, with such a large graduating class last year,” said principal Roger Mello. Last years high school enrollment was at 376. The class of 2006 was the largest graduating class ever in for Rappahannock High School. Superintenent of schools Dr. Robert Chappell welcomed all of the Rappahannock Public School staff members to the new year last Monday as he spoke about new goals and new programs. “We must remember that the most important people in Rappahannock County are the children that we serve,” he stated. New goals Of the goals for the 20062007 year, Chappell wants to continue to see progress with the SOL pass rates. This year he wants to include, “pass advanced” notation on all of the tests this year. “Pass Advanced” shows particular areas where a student excels normal pass rates. Another goal mentioned was to meet the adequate yearly progress targets set by the federal government for the “No Child Left Behind Act” and provide assistance necessary for all of the June diploma candidates to pass all courses and meet all State requirements. Chappell r also wants to see stronger communication between the school staff and the wider community. “We’ve definitely improved in the last few years,” he said,, “however I think we can do a lot more.” Technology training Chappell continues to boost technology improvements for the upcoming year. The state has donated $9,000 of compressed video equipment to enable Rappahannock students to take classes taught by Lord Fairfax Community College professors. Another goal for Chappell in the upcoming year is to increase and insure access to technology for all instruction staff. He is also taking steps to increase instruction for staff members in the use of technology. Back to Latin Old is new again as Rappahannock Public Schools bring in a Latin Pilot Program. Due to a couple of anonymous donors, both schools will spearhead a Latin program this year. The elementary school will offer an exploratory class called “Roman Studies,” which will include Roman mythology, and an introduction to the Latin language. The high school will offer Latin I during the second semester. The Latin program will expand to Latin II next year, if there is enough interest. SO YOU WANT TO BE A STAR!!!

Despite tough schedule, Skins primed for greatness So I want to know, are we ready for the ninth season of the Redskins Rap Up? And better yet, are you ready for some football! Folks, if you know me, I get about as excited about preseason football as I do a hotly contested game of cricket. I’d much rather spend the four weeks of preseason sipping an ice cold beverage in the Outer Banks than to come up with some kind of nonsense column on the Redskins-Bengals and Redskins- Jets games. Well, I missed the SkinsBengals, thereby missing onefourth of the preseason. But like a dummy I taped it. Anyways, during the game I got a call from my trusty buddy, Ben in Richmond, with the dire news. Clinton Portis is hurt, looks a shoulder. Portis got hurt making a tackle on an interception thrown by Brunell I’m told. What are you going to do with these University of Miami guys? You can’t get them to turn off their football motor, going full speed all the time. I got back in town right before the Redskins-Jets game and after making my wife unpack the truck, carry the bags in, bathe the kids and feed the dogs, I settled to see the play when Portis got hurt. As I watched the tape, I couldn’t focus, so I asked the wife to keep it down; she made a bunch of noise lugging the luggage up the stairs. When it got quiet, I thought to myself “Maybe there’s a bar in town that’s airing a hotly contested , Redskins Rap-Up Andy Gilliam A game of cricket.” Let’s jump to the Jets game. You’d think my dad would have learned from the Heath Shuler fiasco, because, boy, will he go on and on about Patrick Ramsey. He wants to talk up Ramsey like he’s the next Sammy Baugh. And I’m looking to call his doctor because I’m thinking he’s gone nuts. Ramsey, the former Redskins starter, was traded (or given) to the Jets. Now he’s starting. Well, he got sacked on the first play of the game, held the ball like it’s glued to his ear and still looks like a deer in the headlights. I thanked the football gods he’s in New York. And how about 277-pound tight end Mike Sellers running the ball! You got to be kidding me. I can see Sellers barreling over LaVar Arrington as I write. A1 Saunders, this new offensive innovator that coach Joe Gibbs brought in, just got my attention. Despite the 27-14 loss, the Redskins defense was flying. Watch out for Sean Taylor, who is this generation’s Ronnie Lott, a monster hitter in the defensive secondary. Seeing Taylor come up to the line like he’s getting ready to blitz has even me feeling bad for Drew Bledsoe. The name of the game for the Redskins this season is continuity. Gibbs has stabi* lized the ship. Everyone at Redskins Park knows his or her importance. For Gibbs, the team concept is the most important ingredient to ore pare for a run at the Super Bowl. Gibbs gets the coaches he wants, the players he wants. Owner Dan Snyder has the money and the trust and respect in Gibbs. Snyder is becoming more and more like his predecessor Jack Kent Cooke. When he came back to the Redskins, Gibbs said, “People don’t change.” 1 hat meant he was going to try to run things just like he did before. It bothered me personally when people were quick to wonder if the game had passed him by or if he was healthy enough to last five years. If he was too slow in getting a play in for the offense, many said “I told you so.” What Gibbs meant when he said “people don’t change” was that he believed he’d win with his “people.” In his third season I think Gibbs is as close to having his “people” around him at any point in his NFL tenure.. Neph and Brown to coach at the high school By Charlie Spiering Rappahannock News Staff Writer Two new coaches, Eric Brown and John Neph, enter the coaching staff for Rappahannock County Public School athletics for the 20062007 sporting season. John Neph, who will be teaching science to sixth graders, is also the new freshman football coach. He was interested in coaching as soon as he knew he had a teaching job for Rappahannock County Public Schools. “I told Raye Tupper that I wanted to coach as well, and she got me in touch with the Athletic Department,” Neph said. Neph played football in high school and coached 13 years of varsity baseball and six years of football after going to college in Spring Arbor, Michigan. “I love it,” Neph exclaimed shortly after a freshman football practice. “I like teaching the kids in the classroom and working with them out in the field.” Brown will head up wrestling program Brown, who was recently appointed as the school’s new wrestling coach, is the director for the Cobra Little League wrestling team in Culpeper. This is Brown’s sixth year as the director of the league that he runs with his friend Eddie Jenkins. Tbgether they hone middle school children’s wrestling skills, sending them to national Photo by Charlie Spiering FRESHMAN COACH: John Neph is the new coach for freshman football. wrestling competitions. Brown said he heard about the position after some of the parents from Rappahannock County who had kids in his program approached him. “They had noticed improvement in their kids in the league program and asked if I would be interested,” said Brown who added that he has been interested in bringing a certain level of quality into a school program. After negotiating with Rappahannock Athletic Director J.D. Almond, Brown felt that he had found the right place to get started. “We both put everything on the table as to what we were looking for,” he said. “We want to build a quality program to develop young talent.” Brown has worked extensively with kids from other counties in Virginia, sending athletes in his league to top placements in national wrestling competitions. He loves wrestling because it builds common sense and integrity. “A wrestler is a mam before a man,” he said. “It’s a hard tough sport and only certain kids can do it. Wrestling also builds a good quality athlete that should be able to do good things for the school in other sports.” Email the reporter at cspiering@timespapers. com FREE INSPECTION Protect your home.

Now some might argue Joe Bugel. But folks, offense wins football games, defense wins championships. I nailed it last year predicting the Skins would go 10-6 and sneak into the playoffs. They did so by winning their last five games to squeak in. Thought I would pat myself on the back if you don’t mind. This year is different. I see a potent running game that should involve Sellers after his performance (three carries, 26 yards) against the Jets. Portis will be healthy and thrive in A1 Saunders’ offense. Expect three stellar wide receivers, plus Chris Cooley. If they stay healthy this could be the best offensive line in 20-some years. One word depicts the defense: Dominant..

The international teams traveled together in a charter bus on their way up to Canada. During the trip they stopped at Bethany College in West Virginia where they had a brief Tetrathlon scrimmage, called the Survival Tetrathlon Stettinius. Each tetrathlon athlete ran a course that showcased some of their skills all at once. The contestants shot air pistols, ran a short distance to their horse, rode a mounted course and ran to the finish line. Reed was allowed to participate in the scrimmage alongside members of the International team, with special permission from the director. He finished in seventh place receiving recognition for his efforts. Following the match in West Virginia, the contestants spent several days sightseeing in New York pausing to spend time at Niagara Falls before arriving in Ontario for the final match. “It was a lot of fun spend ias_ii mi i ii —iffi iiiiiii mh' n gggs=s, amsmmj m_ IN THIS TOGETHER: Jenkins (left) and Reed (right) Dove together with “Lightning,” one of their competitive horses. ing time with the rest of the members from the teams,” Jenkins said, “We were all friends because we had so much in common.

What is cohousing and why it might be good for Rappahannock? By Peter Lazar Special to the Rappahannock News ; Last year, Molly and our two bung children fled the lorthem Virginia traffic and >rawl to move to a cohousing geighborhood at the outskirts of :ksburg, Virginia. We have irgeous views of rolling farmnd and mountains not nnlika (around my parents’ home in •Rappahannock, VA But in {cohousing fashion, the houses face pedestrian walkways father than streets. Also, we fehare a commonly-owned club house, vegetable gardens, parking and a children’s playground. The homes are clustered on four Ait of 33 acres and the rest of tie land is preserved as common forest and grassland. Because of the “co” in the word, cohousing is often initially (mistaken for “commune” or •“cohabitation,” things which it is most definitely not. Rather, a Icbhousing neighborhood has more in common with small towns and villages, like •Washington, VA In both cases, •people live near one another in a Jwalkable community of relatively small houses surrounded by [preserved open land. Often, ip’ipromptu gatherings will igin from neighbors chatting om their front porch. The physical layout as well as the built-in expectation that neighbors participate in neighborhood matters, make cohousing community oriented, environmentally sustainable and affordable. Community oriented In a cohousing community, families live in their own fullyequipped private homes, but also connect to the greater community. Cohousers participate in community workdays or otherwise help maintain the greater property These workshare events not only get things done much more efficiently than an individual could do alone (e.g., old-fashioned barn-raisings) but also become social activities which are a lot of fun. Unlike typical modem houses where people drive home straight into a garage without pver seeing a neighbor, cphousers walk past neighbors’ houses to get home, so there are many opportunities to say hello ojr chat. These little daily encounters add up to form connections which allow for greater things over time. As in a small old-time village, cohousers are much more likely to borrow cooking ingredients and tools from each other and even help each other out in times of need. At Shadowlake Village Cohousing, an older woman living alone broke her hip and was recuperating. Someone in the community coordinated a meal -schedule so that a hot meal was delivered to her each evening for more than a month. When you live next door to someone, it’s easy to just make two extra servings of your own meal and bring it over. This older lady posted the following e-mail to the neighborhood e-mail list: “I described to an outside friend recently the experience of recovering from surgery as something like returning to the womb! All needs were met in this warm and comfortable space. Thanks for the meals, cards, calls, parking space, and thanks especially to Nat for carrying packages. Thanks to Jane Houses at Shadowlake Village Cohousing in Blacksburg, Virginia for organizing meals on wheels and thanks to all the cooks.” It is well documented that social connections facilitate physical activities and meaningful purpose. Greater social connections have been shown to ward off depression and promote longevity. Cohousing helps older couples have a long active life together. And it provides a good place for the one who outlives the other. Outside of a strong community, a widowed spouse faces the lonely prospect of isolation in a house, and often has to move away. In cohousing, the widowed spouse is already part of a community and has less of a reason to move. Families with young children benefit hugely from cohousing due to the pedestrian orientation, common playground and children’s friends nearby. Having other parents nearby to take turns with childcare is a huge help. But, in short, the community bonds are helpful to just about anyone in any phase of life. Environmentally sustainable Besides the community benefits, there are the environmental benefits to cohousing. If Shadowlake Village hadn’t been built, then another developer would most certainly have divided the land into 33 oneacre parcels, destroying the beautiful forest and prairie we have preserved. The same clustering concept can be applied to greater acreages in rural places like Rappahannock County. Rather than carve up 500 acres into 20 individual plots, wouldn’t it be more environmentalfriendly to place 20 homes in a small village at the edge of a 495 acre wildlife sanctuary? Affordable All those roads and infrasr tructure to connect the distant houses in the first case of 20 individual plots, are unnecessary for a cohousing village. Clustering homes not only makes environmental sense but reduces costs, helping make the houses more affordable. The cohousing “common house,” which contains guest rooms, home offices and other common amenities, further promotes affordability because the individual homes don’t need as many rooms and can thereby be smaller. When our family moved from a 2400 sq. ft. house to a 1800 sq. ft. house in a cohousing community, we expected it to be a sacrifice. We discovered, though, that 1800 sq. ft. almost seems too large for my family of four. Because we share large items (such as a lawnmower and tools) with neighbors, we don’t need as much storage space. We also don’t need such a large living or dining room because we can entertain many guests in our beautiful common house. Likewise, if we have too many guests, they can stay in the common house guest rooms. So how could cohousing be introduced to Rappahannock County? Usually, a group is started by the future cohousing homeowners themselves. They seek additional members through local meetings and by listing on the cohousing.org web site. Then they work together to find the land and builder, work out the financing, etc. Sometimes a cohousing group is started by a developer who decides to build using that model and takes the first steps to attract prospective homeowners. Before cohousing can exist, local zoning ordinances need to allow for clustered development. In recent years, forward-thinking jurisdictions have started a ‘TV****.

There is strong motivation for counties to do this, because it helps prevent sprawl, promotes green spaces and facilitates affordable housing. It is a reaction to places like Fairfax County where old zoning promoted suburban sprawl and the resulting isolation and disconnectedness. Cohousing is not for everyone. Not everyone is willing to live near neighbors to promote community and share land and other amenities. However, in my experience one doesn’t need to be an extrovert to live in cohousing. In fact, the majority of cohousers are slightly introverted - they enjoy the company of others but they also like their private spaces and being alone sometimes. Cohousing permits this by both having common spaces, friendly narrow pedestrian streets and wide front porches, but also private homes with private backyards. I think there is a basic human need for “community”, which is an entirely different thing than “family,” “friends” or “country” - but just as important. Cohousing provides thief, most human need for communij ty absent in modem suburbia but present in the tribes, small towns and city blocks people have lived in for ages.

This now much-anticipated event, known as “Rappahannock Night” at Camp Fantastic, is sponsored by a number of organizations in the county. They join efforts with Special Love, a Winchester-based organization dedicated to providing young children with cancer an Opportunity to “step back from the seriousness of their disease and etryoy the bonds of friendship with COLOR ME HAPPY: Bev Atkins checks in on a face painting session where Charlotte Turnmeyer is painting a very beautiful butterfly on the back of a young lady’s head.

Left to right are Bill Cushman, Mike Mahoney, Joel Daczewitz, Bette Mahoney, Jim Blubaugh, Bob Lander and Arlen Ingman of the Lions Club. other children who share similar experiences.” Story behind the story The essence of the story is as noted. But there’s much, much more to it than facte. There is a personal and emotional dimension to this story that can only be experienced by being there. Ask any volunteer! For this reporter, who now has attended four of these summer camps taking notes and pictures and chatting with the children, this is a time for reflection. The story behind the headlines is both heart rending and heart warming. There was one young man, perhaps 9 or l&years-old, with a cowboy hat that seemed to stand out in the crowd. All photos by Richard Lykes CAMP CLOWNS: In keeping with the “circus” theme of the evening, a number of volunteers donned clown outfits and makeup, including these three characters who had a good time entertaining the children. Pictured left to right are Ester Settle, Bill Cushman and Roger Welch. SIMPLY KEVIN: “Kevin,” a yofeng patient with lots of courage and personality at Camp Fantastic, enjoyed his evehina chatting with friends. I saw him early in the evening in a wheel chair happily talking and chatting with his friends. At one point, when dancing started, this young man actually got out of his wheel chair and danced with one of the camp counselors Helping Hands Many organizations, businesses, and individuals volunteered food and/or services for “Rappahannock Night,” including: the Blue Rock Inn, The Public House, Pizza Hut, Melting Pot, Papa John’s, Muskrat Haven Farm, The Country Cafe, F.

And there were 30 plus volunteers who cooked the food, put up the decorations, and policed the site after the party. with some assistance. I took a number of pictures of this little fellow as he made his way through the medicine and food lines and then went on to just enjoy his time at the party. At one point, I went up to him and struck up a conversation. “Is your name Dingo,’ as I see on your tee shirt?” He looked up with a smile and replied, “No, my name is Kevin, sir.” See CAMP, Page B8 LLAMAS LIVEN IT UP: Asked to pose for the camera, everyone got into the act, including the llamas brought to Rappahannock Night for the kids by Pat and Charlie Sher of the Lazy S Llama Ranch near Castleton.

Your funeral should reflect your personal wishes, tastes, and desires. With the help of a funeral director, you can plan ahead and select a funeral that is in keeping with the religious and cultural traditions, costs, and personal preferences that are uniquely yours. You can decide if the body will be present at the funeral, if there will be viewing or visitation, if the casket will be opened or closed, and whether the remains will be buried or cremated.

Levitt is the economist. It is an excellent book and 1 highly recommend it. There is a provocative chapter in the book that says a lot about Real Estate Agents. 1 don’t want to ruin the plot for you, but basically what that chapter is about is that nothing is more powerful than information, especially when it is abused. It went on to say that some agents would use both buyers and sellers as a mark, rather than an ally, just to make a sale. In Rappahannock and surrounding counties, 1 think it is fair to say that the real estate market has abruptly changed from a seller’s to a buyer’s market. Buyers are cautious, inventory is up and prices are going down in many cases. / According to the MR1S (Metropolitan Regional Information System), Rappahannock had 50 residential sales from 1/1/2005 to 8/21/2005 and this year in that time period there have been 34 sales, a reduction of almost one third.

One of the ways you know you need a new pc is when all bT your computer savvy friends tell JfiB you at every opportunity, “When aie you going 10 gei na oi that ancient pile of junk you call a computer and get something decent?” That’s one way. There are other clues. One of the features on most pc’s is a system called Windows, and there is this cute little logo that pops up when you start your computer of a fancy looking window. Well, on ' my computer, what comes up is a picture of an old wooden window, with the paint chipping off, with sev eral panes broken out, and it is being held up with a piece of broomstick. I think the last person who worked on my pc told me I have Windows 1947. And, the little bucket of paint with the tiny paintbrush that they sent when I upgraded from a monochrome to a color monitor, has just about dried up, so I think it is time for a new monitor, as well. And, to get anything at all out of my speakers, I have to insert an eight track cassette. And, don’t laugh. That’s the way they get you. You can’t just plug in a few new parts. Oh, no, that won’t work with your old mother board, whatever that is. As for the power unit, I suppose it is time to get rid of the gerbils in the roller cage and get one that plugs into the wall. And it just goes on and on from there, and the price goes up and up. You have seen those ads on the back of magazines, about how you can get a new computer for $299.00. Don’t you believe that. What they will send you for that much money is a framed picture of that computer. Don’t expect a whole lot more. I’m telling you, it just grows like chickweed in the garden, and there is little you can do but give in and let them have their way with you. Carolyn to the rescue I happened to get really lucky when I called one of the big pc builders. I talked with the nicest lady. She works for Dell and her name is Carolyn Loudenslager. Now, I Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com don’t know if they are permitted to use their real names or not, but, think about it, would you pick Loudenslager as your pseudonym? I’m thinking pretty sure that must be her real name. No offense intended, Carolyn. Anyway, she was a delight to talk with and she was very gooa at ner jod, and extremely knowledgeable about the hardware and software and how it all works together. For instance, the very first question she asked me, boring right in on how I would use this new computer, was, “Mr. Brady, how much money do you have?” Well, since she asked, I thought it only appropriate to take that opportunity to tell her about our new county property assessments and what the board of supervisors did to us on the tax hike and how much gas was costing and the heating oil prices, and I told her what I thought I would have left after that, and there was silence on the line. I heard some kind of guffaw or muffled laugh and then something that sounded like two people talking, and then Carolyn said, somewhat sternly, “Richard, is there an adult at home with you?” I assured her I was legally competent and that this was a serious call. So, she got right to it and asked me what problems I was having with my current pc and I told her about the gerbils getting older and how I am constantly getting these little pop up messages when l try to open up a tile or, heaven forbid, when someone tries to send me a picture, and the message says, “file corrupted.” She asked what was causing these problems and I told her if lere was one thing 1 had earned from one of the previous occupants of the White House that I had applied to my computer, it was, “Don’t ask. ^ Don’t tell.” j Unfortunately, there was in more silence on the line, and 1 I don’t know if that was ■ because of her particular political leaning or if she just didn t understand what I was trying to say. Truth is, unless she was using some new computer voice enhancement program, she did sound really young, so it might be that my historical reference went right over her head. Anyway, she must have figured her best option was to plow through the steps in her calling seriatim, because we jumped right into taking one of these from column A and one of those from column B, and before we got to column C, she paused, yet again, and said, “Mr. Brady, to get you a decent, usable pc, we have about 26 more columns to go through, and we have already exceeded your budget.” What to do? I asked her if she could hold on just a minute, and she said she would. My wife had just returned from the garden and wanted to know who was on the phone and not to buy anything. After minimal pleading, she did agree to , give me an advance on my allowance through 2014, and that I could use half of my pickin’ money to pay for the rest of it. I couldn’t believe my good fortune. I got back on the phone with Carolyn and gave her the good news. And guess what? My new computer and printer and monitor and speakers and, yes, a brand spanking new mother board, are being built personally for me as you read this and she promised to ship it out as soon as my check clears.

It really bothered me. Never in my wildest dream did I anticipate that someone would call the cemetery a marble orchard. Tb me, an orchard is some kind of product that brings in revenue for an owner. Cemeteries are not about profit. While the author, Jed Duvall, is a talented writer and a great resource for this paper, I disagree with the tone of his article, and felt it was in bad taste to make that comparison with the distraction from the important problems with the Washington Masonic Cemetery. First of all it is not a marble orchard. We have chosen to remember our dead with stones and markers that tell about the people who are buried beneath them. We take the bodies of those whose spirits have departed and place them in the ground, or in the enclosure of Washington Jan Clatterbuck 675-3338 jclatterbuck@ timespapers.com the tomb, and place a monument over these remains that speaks of the life once lived. This is not only out of respect for the dead because it also serves as a reminder for the living. It reminds us of the person who has died and it also reminds us that someday, it will be our bodies that lie moldering below the earth. They are part of history and as such should be preserved and maintained, not only for the sake of the generations buried in them but for the benefit of generations to come and the living could come and feel some connection with one’s that passed on. Tb remedy the up and down “rollercoaster” of the records of the burials and plot ownership, I agree there is a problem. In time to come, I hope this matter can be resolved. Some may say we have to go with the times and to some extent we will. I like to believe in something like lasting impression. In these days and times we should do our best to hold on to what we hold dear to our hearts, and that is the memories of the ones that are buried in the Washington Masonic Cemetery, not the “marble orchard.” We are indeed fortunate to have the Washington Masonic cemetery, a resting place for those that have gone on. It has been maintained and beautified by people who donated their time and equipment over the years. Let’s keep in mind that it is a cemetery only not an orchard. I want to commend Jed Duvall on the article which I found interesting but felt that if he'd given more thought, he would have chosen a different headline. Preserving beauty a winning proposition Scenic Virginia seeks to recognize, reward accomplishments; RappFLOW was a 2005 winner Scenic Virginia wants your attention. The call for nominations for the 2006 Scenic Award winners is going out to individuals and organizations throughout the state. “The Scenic Awards give us the chance to thank Virginians publicly for their hard work,” says Eugenia Anderson-Ellis, Scenic Virginia’s president. “To do that, we need to hear about all noteworthy projects around the Commonwealth.” The goal, she says, is at least one nomination from each of Virginia’s 324 counties, cities and towns. Bill Beck of Fredericksburg, the 2006 Scenic Awards program chair, agrees. Virginians should “open their eyes” to the beauty around them - and be willing to nominate those efforts that stand out. If they do, he says, we all win. “Our Scenic Awards are more than thanks for a job well done,” says Beck. “The winners also provide a road map of creative best practices for others to follow in their own communities - a project that they or someone else might nominate the following year.” The organization is seeking nominations in the following six categories: • Best Preservation of a Scenic Viewshed • Best Preservation of a Scenic River Corridor • Most Creative Scenic Improvement • Best Local Anti-Litter Practices • Best Implementation of VDOT Tree-TVimming Policy (given to a VDOT district) • Scenic Hero (given to sin elected official, private citizen, or organization for particular achievement in scenic conservation or for lifetime achievement). Last year’s honorees included the Clarkton Bridge Alliance, RappFLOW for its work along the Rappahannock, the Friends of the Rockfish Watershed, Keep Henrico Beautiful, the Staunton VDOT District, and Governor Mark R. Warner for his support of the effort to bring the National Scenic Byways program to Virginia. The 2006 nomination form is available at www.scenicvirginia.org/awards or by calling the Scenic Virginia office. Nominations must be received by the close of business on Friday, September 15, 2006, after which a statewide committee will review the entries and select a winner in each of the six categories. The 2006 Scenic Awards will be presented at a luncheon on Thursday, November 2, 2006 at the Kent-Valentine House in Richmond. Scenic Virginia is a statewide private nonprofit whose mission is to preserve, protect and enhance the scenic beauty and community character of the Commonwealth. Membership is open to all.

Pontiak builds a space in your head ft By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer They don’t know what to call their music. “We are not eclectic, nor are we fusion. The truth is, I can’t say what kind of music we play,” said lead singer Van Carney. They don’t seem to care about the name of their band. “It’s not really offensive, and it’s not really interesting. It has a ‘K’, ” explained brother and bass player Jennings Carney, as though that explained anything. “Outkast has a K,too,” added third brother, drummer Lain Carney. They really like what they do. “It’s worth it. We don’t make any money, but we get to keep doing it,” explained Van. They are Pontiak. They’re evasive, complicated, and sarcastic, but I can’t help liking them, and not just because they bought me a beer.

The Carney brothers make a lot of jokes, and they’re proud that they spray paint their own concert tees, but once they start talking about their music and their band, things change. Suddenly they start mentioning “intellectual processes” and Pontiak’s “own unique home brand” of sound. These guys are serious about the music they make, even if they can’t be serious about the name of their band. “Catchy band names sound stupid later. Pink Floyd? That’s a stupid name. Think about it,” said Van. Rural roots Jennings, Van and Lain grew up in a house near Woodville that bordered the Thornton River. “Rappahannock was really great. We could just run and jump into the Thornton. We fished and camped and rock climbed,” recalled Jennings. According to the brothers, music was important in their family. “Our family was always pretty musical. Our mom' sang in a choir, she’s got a good ear,” emphasized Van. As they grew up, the Carney’s taught themselves how to play a variety of instruments, by “just messing around,” according to Lain. During my conversation with them, Lain admitted to playing the guitar and banjo as well as the drums, Jennings plays guitar and bass, and Van admitted to playing the keyboard along with his guitar. In addition, the members of Pontiak have been known to switch instruments for some songs. “We’ve been playing alEstateIII The Best.

Gre Wim Photos courtesy of Jennings Carney ' THE BIG TIME: Van Carney plays the keyboard, Lain Carney is on the drums, and Jennings ’ Carney plays bass as Pontiak performs on stage together off and on forever,” said Van. All three of the brothers are graduates of Wakefield Country Day School in Flint Hill, and that was where they formed their first bands. Together, Van and Jennings even played the now defunct Mountainside Market on “Thirsty Thursday.” “We were like a jam band, we sounded like all high school bands,” said Van. They did it for fun, and because “chicks always dig guys that play guitar.” Baltimore bound Van, Lain, and Jennings left Rappahannock for different colleges in succession (Van is the oldest at about 27, Lain is the youngest at around 23, Jennings is in the middle) and each played in a series of bands in college and afterwards. Van even spent some time playing in England. In 2004, the three regrouped and became Pontiak, moving to Baltimore to pursue their music. “Baltimore is pretty cool. You can make $8.00 an hour and still afford to live there, and it has a great music scene,” said Jennings. Van and Lain work at restaurants to make ends meet, Jennings works in computers. In their off time, they play clubs and bars in Baltimore and D.C, and rehearse, perfecting their music. What about that music? As I said above, getting Pontiak to describe their A RAPP GROUP: Van Carney and brothers Jennings and Lain grew up in Woodville in Rappahannock County. sound is difficult. After repeated cajoling and lots of statements about what Pontiak is not, the Carneys start to give me some answers. It’s evident that their difficulty in describing their sound doesn’t come from a lack of thought , but maybe because they think too much about it. “We’re like lounge music, but not what people think of as lounge.” “ We’re psychedelic.” “We have a prog influence” are Van’s inadequate attempts at various times to pigeonhole his band. For my part, I agree that it’s hard to characterize Pontiak.

Their sound emphasizes their playing, with long complicated instrumental parts that can vary from loud rocking emphasized guitars, to a droning background bass resonance. “We try to write songs. that have a part for each of' us. We like to play with us all in the front. Most bands put the drummer in the back, , said Jennings. Van, Lain, and Jennings all sing, and they all write ] the songs together. Van does most of the lead singing, but his voice is usually a more' subtle complement to what the instruments are doing. His voice has wide range, and in some songs he is low, and smooth and almost mumbling. In others, he shouts Pontiak’s cryptic lyrics in a grating, bluesy voice. “The way we record is really raw,” said Van. The overall effect is hard to stop listening to. For their part, they compared them-, selves .grudgingly, to My Morning Jacket and The Stooges. “I think we ‘re very, focused. Our songs are all different, but there’s a large con-! tinuity to it,” said Van , speaking of Valley of Cats. Fireproof Focused is a good word for these guys. Leaving the conventional rock and roll path, wherein a band would try to get signed by a label in order to make an album, Pontiak decided to create their own. They started their own record label, Fireproof Records Inc.,, to put the album out. “I’ve had the idea for Fireproof for a long time. The fact is, today it’s just easier to record yourself,” said Van. “If you’re motivated and slightly intelligent, you can be your own record label,"scoffed Jennings, acting like creating a business, managing a band, recording and producing an album, or scheduling a tour is as easy, as setting up a lemonade stand. Pontiak likes to make1 their psychedelic/prog influence d/lounge/indescribably unique music, and it’s evi-' dent that they’ll keep doing it no matter how many labels they have to start, journalists they have to argue with, or Corollas they have to drive across the country. At the end of the interview and done with my beer, I asked Jennings what he liked about his favorite Pontiak song. He said “I like the space it creates in my head.” I like that space, too.

Rappahannock Spirits ' *Find out what brand* he drinks. I would like to send a barrel of it to my other general” • <' A. Lincoln when asked *about U.S. Grant’s drinking I *; habits (*Old Crow) «\ Mention alcohol in the context of the mountains of "Virginia and one is likely to bring to mind clandestine homemade stills set far back iij hollows, an old movie or two featuring Burt Reynolds or Robert Mitchum, and revenue agetits running for their lives under a spray of buckshot. \. While illegal production of njoonshine whiskey was, and t<J a limited extent perhaps still is, a part of the culture of the region, there is a lot, lot niore to the story of alcohol production in these environs. • For you see dear children, ofcce upon a time legal distillation of liquid spirits was a thriving business throughout the Commonwealth. And Rappahannock County had its own important share of the market. ’ ■ It’s not that some old-time moonshine magnates ‘went straight’ and set out to dot our biicolic landscape with industrial strength stills. • More likely legal distilleries came about due to the need and desire of farmers and millers to make some extra money from the surplus of grain produced on local farms. In the early to mid-1800s, Virginia was a leader among states in production of wheat, rye, and com (in the 1840s, the big Midwestern grain producing states did not yet exist). In the 19th Century, most grain was grown and ground locally. Of the 90 or so water-powered mills in Rappahannock County in the mid-1800s, at least half were devoted to making flour from corn, wheat, or rye. The mills were often at the heart of mini self-contained and multi-functional industrial complexes. Gristmills and sawmills would be found in the same location operated by the same owner or family. , The gristmills often wound up with extra grain. When all the livestock had been fed and all the needed flour baked into bread and pastries what’s a body to do with the leftover corn or rye. Unprocessed grains did not store well for long periods, could be expensive to transport, and problematic to market elsewhere. So it was natural to identify other uses that might turn some ready cash. The solution was not hard to find: convert all that excess grain into a liquid form with a long shelf life and ready and continuing markets. And make a thirst quencher to boot; well, the quench for a certain type of thirst, anyhow. Long shelf life Liquid spirits, produced from fermented grain and distillation process, had been known and enjoyed in Europe since the Middle Ages. The finished product lasts for years and is easily transported in bottles or barrels. The early settlers brought both the knowledge and pleasure of spirits with them to the New World. So.... you say you have a few bushels of com you don’t know what to do with? We can (or should we say, could) fix you right up almost in your backyard. In the 1840s, 7700 gallons of distilled spirits were produced annually in Rappahannock County. It seems like that volume would quench quite a few thirsts (except perhaps that of U. S. Grant and a few other noted really serious imbibers). It’s not clear how many individual distilleries were responsible for that output. It can be documented, however, that there were at least 11 such facilities in 1890, three in Flint Hill, two each in Washington and Amissville, as well as others in Laurel and Slate Mills, Castleton, and Sandy HookSo one need not have gone far to obtain one’s ‘medicine’ in the euphemism of the era. Any favorite brands associated with these operations seem not to have had lasting fame. Legendary liquid spirits At least one Virginia distillery is legendary. In the late 1700s, several years prior to his death, George Washington estab Histories & Mysteries Judy and John Tole evrgreenl@earthlink.net lished a distillery about three miles from Mount Vernon. With a production of 11,000 gallons/year Washington’s operation is thought to have been one of the largest in early America. (Note that Rappahannock’s 1840s output looks pretty good as well.) The Mount Vernon distillery is being recreated on its original site (next to, what else, the Washington gristmill) and will be open to the public sometime in 2007. Interested in helping out with the Mount Vernon operation, or perhaps resurrecting the Rappahannock tradition? The basic processes for spirit production have been around since at least 800 B. C. when the Chinese distilled rice spirits. Home brewed The basic ingredients needed for liquid spirits are grain, yeast, and water. As in the ads for Coors beer, it’s the water that is most critical; read impurity-free (otherwise even Merlin the Magician may not be able to make the chemistry work out right.) The primary grain used depends on the desired finished product, however barley is also almost universally required. The grain was ground into meal, mixed with water, and then cooked to release starch. Malted barley and cooked grain are combined in warm water to make a ‘mash’. Enzymes in the barley malt convert the starch in the primary grains to sugars. The mash is filtered to remove solid byproducts. Yeast is then added to the filtered mash to cause fermentation. This converts sugars in the mixture to alcohol. The intermediate result is sometimes called ‘distillers beer’. Here is where things get down to business. As the old saw goes, when one needs a bath water is need but thirst indicates a requirement for alcohol. Distillation performs the magical separation of the two liquids. Since alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water (172 vs. 212 degrees F.) heating the distillers beer to about 180 degrees vaporizes the ‘thirst quenching1 liquid allowing it to be separated and concentrated. Actually the distillation process is performed at least twice, both to increase the alcohol content of the finished product and to remove impurities. Distillation may continue until neutral grain spirits, 95% or more pure alcohol results. The neutral spirits, which are tasteless, may be used to adjust the ‘proof’ of finished whiskies after aging. Aging is the magical step whereby spirits acquire much of their unique flavors. In keeping with this magic, one cannot store the raw liquid just anywhere while it matures. Bring on the cooper, the seemingly timeless craftsman who fabricates the wooden barrels employed for aging. Wooden barrels are an interesting specialized craft product all by themselves. Whiskey barrels are made from straight-grained aged white oak used because it is one of the few woods that can hold a liquid without leaking. The oak also allows water in the whiskey to move back and forth within the pores of the wood (as much as %” for one inch thick barrel walls), which helps to add flavor. Barrels are constructed using over 30 double-tapered staves (3 or 4 foot long narrow strips of oak) slightly longer than the finished height of the barrel are placed side by side Open your mouth and lei Vhe moon shine inf and attached to a metal hoop form a cylinder. The interior of the form is then charred (to help the eventual flavor of the spirits, what else?) The staves are moistened and another five hoops of varying diameter are hammered into place to form the distinctive finished appearance of the barrel. To make the head of the barrel, five or six head staves are fitted together with wooden dowels. The head is then cut to size and placed in grooves in the inside of the top and bottom of the barrel. The newly distilled whiskey is placed in the barrels and allowed to age from three to 15 years or more. The aging process is not completely understood but is definitely necessary to give the finished whiskey its distinctive properties. Depending on the desired finished taste, old or new barrels may be used in the aging process with the former affording a smoky quality to the sips of the connoisseur. After aging, it’s on to the bottle. ‘Straight’ whiskey is ready for bottling just as it comes from the barrel. More often however, combining the contents of multiple barrels blends whiskey. Neutral grain spirits (the nearly 200 proof stuff) may also be added to fine tune the alcohol content of the finished brew. So, you see, there’s nothing to it really. Get some com, rye, and barley planted on the back forty. Assemble some vats and buy a second-hand still at the antiques mart. Knock out a few oak barrels in the wood shop and; stock up on some 1/5-gallon; glass bottles. And the next thing you know - ‘Old Rappahannock’, that smooth unique taste of the mountains will be available for sipping in all the local establishments. Be sure to save a barrel or two for yourself as well. rmfieldMillerRipley.c* 170 High Hill Lane, Washington, VA Outstanding views from every angle of this luxurious private retreat at Massies Corner. .Lively combination of woods, fields, streams and old stone walls surround this 3 BI), 3 BA home on three levels.

Movie From Page B1 War II when London children are evacuated to protect them from frequent bombing raids. The four Pervensie siblings end up in a country mansion with many rooms, a stem housekeeper and an owner (Jim Broadbent) we seldom see. When the youngsters decide to play a game of hide and seek, Lucy (Georgie Henley), the youngest, finds refuge in a huge wardrobe closet. Imagine her surprise when she comes out the other side of the wardrobe into a landscape filled with snow and meets a very friendly faun who invites her to tea in his humble hut. Lucy is not believed by her older sister (Anna Popplewell) and two brothers (Skandar Keynes and William Mosely), at least not until they all manage to go through the wardrobe and arrive in Namia themselves. Their adventures in this wintry land ruled by the White Witch (Tilda Swinton) form the basis for the simple plot. In Namia, the Pervensie children must defeat the White Witch in order to fulfill a prophecy. One of the brothers betrays the group and Aslan the Lion must decide how to bring the family back together. “The Chronicles of Namia” The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe” is a heavy children’s story about how children make the transition into young adults during a time of crisis. However, the success of the movie is attributed to the casting of four young actors who work convincingly well as independent thinkers connected by their bloodline. The Pevensie kin are polite and in command of etiquette in every situation and it’s clear that Lewis revered this trait in children. “Namia” is a feast of visual delights, and an instructive story about wartime dilemmas. The film is rated PG and contains intense, if bloodless, violence and death. Run time is 140 minutes. Camp From Page B8 Politeness ruled the day with these kids. I asked him where he was from and he told me Winchester. We chatted for a minute or two when I felt I could ask him the really difficult question: “For what kind of cancer are you being treated?” He looked up at me with his angelic face and said, “I have an inoperable brain tumor.” As I tried to maintain my calm exterior as I cried inside, Kevin added that the tumor appeared to be benign although the prognosis was uncertain. I briefly told him that I, too, was a survivor and encouraged him to continue to think positively. Then I thanked Kevin for letting me take his picture and went to look for a volunteer to hug and share my story. Many volunteers make “Rappahannock Night” possible The Rappahannock committee this year included Sandra Jenkins, Ester Settle, Jan Makela, Marie Davis, and Jim Blubaugh from the Lions Club. The co-coordinators for Rappahannock Night, as in past years, were Bev Atkins and Jan Besecker. Rappahannock volunteers chose a “Circus” theme for this year’s party. Volunteers put together goody bags that were given to each camper that contained wigs, shoes, glasses, pens, and balls. Charlotte Tummeyer and Geneva Welch did a land-office business with their artful and ever-popular face painting. Captain Jeff Brown of the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office brought his snow cone machine and his daughter handed out snow cones throughout the evening. Howard Massey turned out dozens of cotton candy sticks that were a big hit with campers and adults alike. And very danceable rockabilly music was provided as a gift by the Blues Fuze band and many, including the camp counselors and 4-H volunteers, “danced the night away!” And everyone thanked the Photo by Richard Lykes CHOW TIME: Kids stood in line patiently for their chance to fill their plates with good home-cooked food and desserts provided by Rappahannock volunteers. large “kitchen contingent” that served up pizzas, com on the cob, fried chicken, tacos, salads and desserts. This group, among others included Mike Leake, Mike and Betty Mahoney, Steve and Lois Kerchner, Bob and Marti Lander, Jim and Carol Marangoni, Gary Settle, and Bill Cushman.
