Amissville firefighters were the first responders to the blaze while Washington, Sperryville, and members of the Castleton fire departments followed shortly afterwards. Dodson said it was too late to fight the flames inside; subsequent efforts were mostly defensive, spraying the exterior of the house with hand lines to contain the fire. All crews remained 3040 feet from the fire due to the intense heat. “It was one of the hottest fires that we have had in a while,” Dodson added.

The disaster unfolds Janet Robey, also a volunteer for the Washington Fire Department, said that she heard fire alarms go off while she was at work. Both Janet and Terry are employees of the the Chateauville Foundation at Castleton Farms. Terry was in Dulles at the time of the fire. As Janet drove towards the billowing smoke, she began to worry. “I felt a wrench in my gut that got tighter and tighter, the closer I got,” she said. “By the time I got to the house it was fully engulfed in flames; it was all black and it was all fire.” Janet watched helplessly as all of her belongings went up in smoke. “I was hysterical,” she admitted. Her heart sank, however, when she remembered all of the pets in the house, especially her chihuahua, Missy. Since the garage was still standing there was still hope. Dave Coffey, a family friend, drove his pickup towards the flames and broke through the garage door. Missy bolted through the opening and ran out safely across the field. “She made it out with no bums and no singes in her fur,” Janet said gratefully. Other family pets were not as lucky. Three of the Robey's dogs, four birds, and three turtles perished in the flames. Thankfully, both of the Robey girls, Kayla, 8 and Jenna, 6 were in school. Terry was in Dulles at the time of the .incident. His father Ronald Robey, who was also living in the house, was also at work. The Robey family had moved into the house in July 2004. Terry was the contractor for the house and the family See FIRE, Page A3 Photo by Ann Spteker SMOKING RUBBLE: Firefighters keep an eye on the smoking remains Board hears disheartening news about power line battle By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer Opponents of Dominion Virginia Power’s proposal to build a new 500,000-volt electric transmission corridor in Rappahannock County have known all along that they are the underdogs in a David-versus-Goliath battle. But Goliath may seem a little bit bigger after a report from Commonwealth’s Attorney Pieter Luke and County Administrator John McCarthy at Monday’s monthly meeting of the County Board of Supervisors. Luke and McCarthy reported to the board on a recent visit they had with staff members from the State Corporation Commission, which decides whether new .power line routes may be built in Virginia. The county administrator called it a “productive but not entirely heartening meeting.” Dominion plans to submit its application for the new right of way to the SCC before the end of April, McCarthy said. At that point, the commission will appoint an examiner to gather information about the need for a new corridor and the appropriateness of the Sm BOARD, Pag* A2 Rappahannock News P.O.

Corrections In an article entitled “Whafs affordable” that appeared in the March 29 issue of the Rappahannock News, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Chappell was attributed as saying that eight teachers had been lost to Fauquier County during the last year. Approximately eight teachers over 10 years have gone to FCPS according to a fact sheet produced by the Rappahannock County Public Schools. In the article about the "Womanless Beauty Pageant" it stated that La La (Kevin Broome) was last year’s winrfer. Actually Kevin was the first year’s winner. Bruce Williams was last year’s winner.

Board From Page A1 routes Dominion is proposing. Luke said he asked the SCC to split the hearings into two separate parts: one to examine the need for the new power lines and another to analyze the various route options. If the SCC finds there is not a need for additional power, then the routing issue could be avoided, he said. That request was denied. Dominion officials have said the new corridor is needed to meet growing electricity demand in Northern Virginia. Without more transmission capacity, the region will experience rolling blackouts by 2011, company officials say. The Piedmont Environmental Council is leading the regional opposition to the new power lines, and PEC representatives are claiming Dominion wants to build the new right of way to sell relatively low-cost, coal-fired power to Northeastern states. “The SCC doesn’t hold out a lot of hope on the need issue,” Luke said, adding that the commissioners probably will not care whether the additional electricity is for Virginians or consumers in other states. He suggested that the supervisors focus their fight on the siting of the fines as the main issue. Luke said he has been searching for expert witnesses to represent Rappahannock’s opposition to the new power lines, but has found that Dominion has already hired most of the consultants and attorneys with expertise in the area of electrical transmission.

Luke said he has also looked into the possibility of underground transmission lines and found they are expensive and cause several technical problems. His research led him to a Connecticut consultant who works on tunnel transmission technology, but that man had already been hired by Dominion. The county has not spent any of the $50,000 the board allocated last month for legal defense against Dominion. However, the supervisors will likely need to decide how much of that the county should spend in May after Dominion has submitted its application to the SCC. “It was abundantly clear at this meeting that it will cost a lot of money,” Luke said. McCarthy said a “fully engaged fight” would cost $500,000, but there are smaller battles that are still worth the effort. Luke said he does not think it will work to combine legal efforts with other affected counties, because each jurisdiction has different interests tied up in the four route options Dominion is proposing. Of the various proposals, company officials have called the route that passes through Rappahannock their “preferred” option. The other route proposals nm through northern Fauquier County along Interstate 66. “We do not have unity of opinion on where the route may be,” Luke said. “It’s going to go through somebody’s backyard, whether it be Fauquier’s or Rapphannock’s.” E-mail the reporter at kallen@timespapers. com • On Thursday, April 5, the Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority will meet at 7:30 p. m. at the Rappahannock County Courthouse on Gay Street. • On Tuesday, April 10, the Rappahannock County School Board wiN meet at 7 p.m. tor a closed session and at 7:30 p.m. for pifolic session in the Rappahannock County High School band room. • Thg Washington Town Council will meet at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April < 11, at Town Hall on Gay Street.

Fire From Page A1 put nine years of their lives, designing and constructing their dream home. “There were still things on the house that I was finishing,” said Terry, as he scuffed his foot through the rubble. Cause of the fire Over the weekend, investigators tried to find the source of the fire but with no conclusive results. State Police Special Agent Wayne Sumner said that the fire probably began on the main level on the northeast side of the house. The cause of the fire was undetermined, he said noting that several electrical devices were running on the main level, including a laptop computer. Sumner was reluctant to confirm the possibility that the fire was ignited by the laptop, noting that it was not a model that had been recalled for defective exploding batteries. “There is just too much fire damage to tell for sure,” he said, “well never be able to determine the actual cause.” An insurance investigator also examined the rubble to no avail. Sumner added that there was no signs of suspicious activity surrounding the blaze. Community response Friends throughout the county have stopped by to offer solace to the family as they reside in their motor home next to the remains of their home. “It’s amazing to realize how many people you actually know,” said Terry. Parents have visited from school bringing their children to visit Kayla and Jenna. “A whole slew of kids were here yesterday,” said Kayla. Although the girls lost their pets and all their belongings in the fire, they seemed confident that everything would be all right. “The most important thing is that I still have my family,” Kayla said solemnly. The Robeys are grateful that their home was insured, noting that their agent from Sperryville was there to reassure the Robeys, while the flames were still being extinguished. “It’s just another example of how great our community is,” Terry said. The Robey’s were especially grateful to the area fire companies who went above and beyond the call of duty to help the family. “Once the flames were extinguished, they were digging through the rubble and trying hard to find something to give back to us,” said Terry. Art Smith of the Amissville Fire Company found the remains of an American Flag sweatshirt among the rubble. The fire had burned all of the sweatshirt, leaving the American flag untouched. “I thought that was pretty inspiring,” said Terry. Firefighters also discovered a slightly scorched photo album and Kayla’s baby book. Terry said that even the smallest thing was a cause for hope. “When you lose everything, every little thing counts,” he said. The family also pulled from the rubble two fire proof boxes where they had placed their birth certificates, and passports. Terry pried open his gun safe, but found that many of his firearms were scorched by the heat. “The safe is supposed to withstand 45 minutes of extreme heat,” he said. “This was buried in three feet of burning rubble for two days,” he said. Janet said that she hopes other people will learn firom their experience. “I just keep telling people to put their most precious belongings in a fire proof box,” Janet said, lamenting the loss of family photos and heirlooms. Rebuilding dreams Terry said that the family will continue to ljve in their motor home as they rebuild. "Lee, another holiday is here and we are gathering with you in your beautiful garden.

Next week, the Rappahannock Historical Society members will play host to some very special visitors. Former descendants of Catherine “Kitty” Payne, a slave, wilfbe here to pay homage to this lady by visiting the jail where she was held for several months with her children. Catherine “Kitty” Payne, bom into slavery in 1816 in Rappahannock County, was manumitted in 1843 by her owner, Mary Maddox. Mary Maddox moved with Kitty and her children to Adams County, PA. Months later, Mary Maddox moved back to Rappahannock County and Kitty and her family moved to Bendersville shortly thereafter. Freedom was Short-lived, however. Samuel Maddox, Jr., the nephew of Samuel and Mary Maddox, was to inherit the property upon Mary Maddox’s death. He claimed rights to the slaves. In 1845, Samuel Maddox, Jr. and four hired men kidnapped Kitty and her children and brought them back to Rappahannock County. Quakers of Bendersville witnessed the kidnapping and tried to chase them but never caught up with them. These same Quakers helped hire a Virginia attorney to fight for her freedom. For 300 days, Kitty and her children were held in the Rappahannock County Jail while the trial dragged on and Samuel Maddox, Jr. was billed for their room and board. Eventually, Samuel, Jr. relinquished his claim to Kitty and her children and they returned to Adams County, PA where Kitty and her children were split up. Kitty later married Abraham Brian, a free black man in Gettysburg but he would not let her bring her children to live with them. Kitty Payne died in 1850 possibly of a broken heart according to descendants. Her children thrived and lived full lives. The Rappahannock Historical Society will host Kitty Payne’s descendants and introduce them to areas of the county that were important in her story. Remembrance Our loss of a dear loved one. Dr. Thomas E. Lee, Jr., has shown us once again, the meaning of family, friends, and community. We all have experienced firsthand how the life of one, affecting so many, can be felt in innumerable and lasting ways. Tom reached out to others, and each of you has reciprocated his fashion in unmatchable thoughtfulness through calls, cards, visits, regards, and attendance at his Memorial Service. He would have been elated to know that everyone was able to come together in “warm fellowship ” We send a heartfelt thank you to everyone, and to Pastor Philip Bailey and Pastor David Clanagan, we thank you for all you have done and continue to do.

April 5, 2007 Letters Approve the budgets together ie county budgeting process X needs aligning. Our Board of Supervisors and county administrator have heard this from me before: I propose that the county budget and the school budget be approved at the same time. Under the present flawed scenario, the supervisors will vote on the school budget - our biggest county expense - without knowledge of final numbers on the projected County revenue for the same fiscal cycle 07-Q8. Do they wonder that the county citizens are anxious that the real estate tax rate may have to go up 3 cents (from 58 cents on the $100 assessed value) to 61 cents, in order to to generate the $494,000 extra dollars the school board is asking for? If the supervisors can tell us that the county revenue is expected to go up by $500,000 for the fiscal year 2007-08, or that they can find $500,000 worth of cuts with the same revenue as 2006-07, then we should be able to accommodate the request from the superintendent of schools for $494,000 additional funds from the county. Therefore, two suppositions are at the heart of the issue: “How to increase county revenue? * Our county budget is based on real estate taxation. How long is this sustainable? We have seen young folks leave the county, teachers and workforce unable to live here, elderly folks on social security buckle under the burden of higher real estate taxes. Has the time come to utter the unspeakable - abolish land use taxation, encourage landowners seeking lower real estate taxes to put their land in conservation easement? Such action would benefit our LCI; We would need to find a land trust to hold those easements of 50-100 acres. In the process, would we lose some farmland to development? Then we would we need more schools for more children living in these newly-built houses. Undoubtedly, would our taxes go up to afford to build more infrastructure. Undoubtedly, Rappahannock County as we know it today change. We could lobby Richmond to allow us a transfer tax on real estate transactions: let the county benefit from the transfer of these mega-luxury properties. Can the supervisors think of other sources of revenue? The second supposition: reduce expenses. What happened to the idea floated a year ago to have our budgets examined by a fiscal expert to detect possible inefficiencies? I ask the supervisors and county administrator to examine the whole process critically, and exercise new creative approaches. Could it be that our zoning and our comprehensive plan are out of touch with reality? Taxes go up, inevitably, but let us look at how efficient we are in running the schools and the county, before we demolish what we have worked so hard to create. I say again: realign the school and county budgets and approve them at the same time. That would be a step in the right direction. Monira Rifaat Manor Farm, Washington Jordan River landowners seek scenic designation In the early 1980s, Bob Dennis, then president of Piedmont Environment Council, worked to recognize the Rappahannock River as a state scenic river. The state agreed in 1985. That was more than 20 years ago. Even today, the Commonwealth recognizes only 18 other rivers as scenic. Jordan River landowners want to change that. A task force of riparian landowners has initiated a process to recognize the Jordan River as the state’s 20th scenic river. That’s not all. The organization that confers recognition - the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) - recommends that the Hughes, Hazel, Rush, Covington, Piney, and Thornton rivers also be evaluated for scenic designation. If all seven rivers are recognized, Rappahannock County will have more scenic rivers than any county in the state. What is Scenic River Designation? Scenic river designation constitutes official recognition by the Commonwealth of Virginia of the scenic, recreational and other values of some of Virginia’s best resources. It provides certain protections for these rivers and gives riparian landowners and other local citizens a greater voice in any government actions that might adversely affect their river, such as dams, power lines, and the like. Designation does not affect the way riparian landowners can use their property, nor does it give the public any right to use privately owned land. The only legislative prohibition is that no dam or other structure “impeding the natural flow” shall be constructed without General Assembly authorization. The statute prohibits state condem nation of land for recreational access. The legislation also provides for a local committee to manage the interests and issues relative to the river. What is the process for scenic river designation? The process for obtaining State scenic river designation requires local support and approval as well as an evaluation of the river and its resources to determine if it qualifies. Factors evaluated include water quality, visual corridor, historic features, and quality of fisheries. This requires a survey of the river, which is conducted from the water to the extent possible. RappFLOW volunteers and GIS students from the High School will do a preliminary, informal survey. If the supervisors decide to proceed, they will ask DCR to conduct a formal survey. Hal Hunter Amissville A note of thanks On behalf of the Board of Directors . of Ki Theatre, I would like to take a moment to thank those people and organizations that made the Kid Pan Alley concerts a true celebration of the creative force of the children of Rappahannock. We are continually amazed by the outpouring of support that emanates from this wonderful community of which we feel so fortunate to be a part. To our sponsors, Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community, Chen and Martin Woodard of Frank Hardy Realty and Rappahannock National Bank, we extend our deepest appreciation and gratitude. There are a number of wonderful people in the county without whom the gift of these two free concerts would not have been possible. Included among them are Cliff Miller and Lucile Miller, Cindy and Eddie Wayland. Also our local businesses that support us through advertising and other services: The Flint Hill Public House, Thornton River Grille, Griffin Tavern, Lester’s Pharmacy, The Inn at Little Washington, Cinema Paradiso, Epicurious Cow (ECOW), Passage Manor Farm, Longview Gallery, R.H. Ballard, Settle’s Grocery & Gas, Horse ‘n Hound, Budo Kai Karate Dojo, Town Duck, and Sacred Springs Farm Lusitanos. Of course, the people who volunteered orchestrated the magic that happened for us all: Sharene Garaman, Claudia Mitchell, Vinny Pacent, Jeanne Dixon, Elizabeth Johns, Alexia Morrison, Lyt Wood, Carl Aplin, Patty Hardee, Richard Lykes, Marc Cugnon, Joy Rollins, Betsey Neff, Jane Mullan, Kathy Grove, Ann Tate, Ray Boc, the Lions Club, WCDS Key Club, Jessica Cahill-Priest, Jean Lillard, Peggy Ralph, Shelby Welch, Margaret Gottlieb, Susan Peterson, Charlotte Taylor, and Phyllis and Alan Holt. Our artistic and community-building programs depend on your continued support. The Kid Pan Alley concert, which was open to everyone in the community, is representative of the power of what we are able to create together. Alaina Love Cugnon Board Chair Ki Theatre Here to tell the tale I would like to express my deepest appreciation to the Flint Hill and Chester Gap fire and rescue companies for their quick response to my emergency on Feb. 22. I had been working alone inside a house I'm building for myself on the farm when the ladder I was on slipped out from under me and 1 fell 6 ft. I broke my leg at the hip and cracked five ribs. Since no phone had been installed yet at that location, and no one knew I was there, the only way to get help was to crawl out of the house to the car where the cell phone was located. I couldn't sit up and could only move a few inches at a time. It took me 8 hours to get to the car. It was cold, dark and windy and my body temperature had dropped to 95 degrees by the time I finally got the emergency call out. Were it not for the quick response of our local volunteers, I would not have made it. Right after I fell, my neighbor’s two little dogs trotted in. This was encouraging, I thought, because it indicated j that I had left the front door open, making it possible to holler for help when I got there. No one knew I was working up there and no one was scheduled to stop by. Knowing how desperate my situation was, I told the dogs to tell my neighbors I was in trouble, hoping for a “Lassie” solution, but they only looked puzzled and walked out. I even tried to send psychic messages to everyone I knew in case that worked. I had landed on top of the ladder and used it as a kind of sled to get through the house. However, when I got to the kitchen, I realized I couldn’t make the sharp turn to get to the front door. It took me three hours to get to the kitchen and in the meantime, the wind had picked up, slamming the door shut, locking me in. I was able to push myself oft’ the ladder, but by now my energy was fading, and since the house is not yet heated. I was feeling increasingly hypothermic. I was finally able to get the door open and called for help, but my neighbors weren’t home to hear me. My only choice was to continue to crawl outside through the mud and stones to get to the cell phone in the car. Progress was very slow and it was getting dark when I finally reached and opened the front passenger's door. I could see the cell phone sticking out of the instrument panel, but couldn’t reach it. Fortunately, I was able to reach a window scraper and knocked the cell phone onto the floor. I couldn’t see where it had landed and still couldn’t reach it. All day I had been crawling on my broken side because I couldn’t turn over. I couldn’t use my good limbs to push myself up into the car. Having used up all my energy, I was now exhausted and shivering uncontrollably. I knew I was at the end of my rope. I couldn’t believe that I had come all this way and was going to die because I couldn’t move just two more feet to reach the cell phone. I knew I was going to have to push with my broken leg and cracked ribs; it was my only chance left. I resolved that I was going to ignore the pain and pushed as hard as I could. On my third try, I managed to grab the passenger’s seat cushion and pull my upper torso into the car. I could now see the cell phone sitting between the seats. I reached it, turned it on, attached the external antenna, and prayed for a signal. I got three bars and after what seemed an eternity, finally got through. I was extremely lucky. If the car door had been locked, if the cell phone had not gotten out, or if the rescue squad had been ■ delayed, I would not have made it. Interestingly enough, that night, after the rescue, my neighbor, Howie Weingarten, kept waking up with nightmares that I needed rescuing. Maybe my psychic distress signal worked after all. C.

I have contacted the Attorney General’s Office for the State of Virginia to raise questions about the political motivation and timing of an investigation based on 4-year-old allegations leveled at the Culpeper County Sheriffs Office by a former deputy, Scott Jenkins. Until now I have said little about these accusations because I knew they were without merit. My detractors claim I hide behind a cloak of maintaining the high road, but I can no longer take these allegations quietly because the falsehoods are smearing the reputations of my staff and myself. These are men and women who work hard every day for the citizens of Culpeper and who are being dragged through the mud for political gain. I believe Scott Jenkins has solicited friends, relatives and former deputies to write letters to local newspapers to create the impression that public support for the Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office has eroded. The opposite is in fact true. The groundswell of support for my office and my deputies has been heart-warming. And I have been encouraged repeatedly to speak out and set the record straight. I believe it is the right thing to do. The question that begs to be asked is what role Commonwealth’s Attorney Gary Close played in the tuning of this investigation at the beginning of the election season. It is no secret that in recent years Gary Close has attempted to tarnish the reputation of the Culpeper County Sheriff's Office. The time has come to confront this charade for what it is. Too much erroneous information has been spread about the Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office. I don’t believe the citizens of Culpeper County are willing to support a campaign of mudslinging. The Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office will continue to work with the Virginia State . Police as it works through this investigation. But I want the citizens to know that this investigation does take time away from the office’s main responsibility - lowering crime and maintaining a safe community for all. In the ensuing months I believe the citizens of Culpeper County will hold all involved accountable for their actions. Sheriff H. Lee Hart Culpeper County

Dominion schedules information sessions By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer Dominion Virginia Power has scheduled two information sessions to give citizens an opportunity to learn more about the compands proposal for a new 500,000-volt electric transmission corridor to cross through parts of Rappahannock and other counties. The company has nailed down the specifics of where the current right of way will need to be expanded and where single poles Will be able to be used instead of new steellattice towers. The first session is scheduled for April 16 at Culpeper Middle School, located at 14300 Achievement Drive (Route 229) in Culpeper. The second session is scheduled for April 17 at Cedar Lee Middle School, located at 11138 Marsh Road in Bealeton. Both sessions are scheduled to run from 6 to 8 p.m. Jim Norvelle, Dominion’s director of media relations, said both events are identical and they are not presentations. Rather, they will be open houses where company representatives will be available to answer questions oneone-one and share information with people. Citizens will be able to see detailed maps that show where the existing corridor is and which parts of that right of way will need to be expanded to accommodate a second corridor. See SESSIONS, Page A6 Board of Supervisors roundup By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer Housing Chris Moyles of the Rappahannock Community Housing Partnership informed the board about a new initiative under way to study the need for affordable housing in the county. Moyles said there is a strong anecdotal need for more workforce housing, but not much hard data available. “With a very small population it’s hard to get decent data from the census models and the other models,” he said. Hampton District Supervisor Bryant Lee asked if the county’s zoning rules would need to be changed to accommodate workforce housing. Moyles answered that they would not need to be changed, because the county’s comprehensive plan already accounts for increased densities in village areas. « Wakefield District Supervisor Roger Welch asked if the RCHP is able to do anything to make sure the affordi able housing reaches targeted groups, like teachers in county schools. Moyles answered that a scoring system can be devised that weighs the importance of different factors, such as whether an housing applicant is a current or former resident of Rappahannock or works in the county. Transportation David Cubbage of the Virginia Department of Transportation reported that the bridge over the Thornton River on Rudasill Mill Road (Route 621) has reopened after a 30-day closure for repairs. He said the project had been scheduled to take 45 days. On the issue of the Rediviva Road bridge over the Covington River, Cubbage said it is doubtful that repairs will be possible for the 78-year-old span, which was closed by VDOT in December. Department officials are still deciding whether they will demolish the bridge or transfer it to a private owner, he said. Regional jail County Administrator John McCarthy said a site for a regional jail to serve Page, Rappahannock, Shenandoah and Warren counties is still “up in the air.” The proposed jail site on U.S. 522 north of Interstate 66 in Warren County appears to be an unlikely location for the facility, he said.

Monday’s game looked like more of the same as Stonewall burst onto their home field scoring 2 points during the first half. The Panthers left the field with nothing but a concussion for one of its star players, Alex Ramey. After Coach Bell’s midgame pep talk, the team played on with the same results; some ball possession, but no goals. Finally with 18 minutes left in the game, Arne Utne burst out from the group, landing a goal neatly into the net for Rappahannock County, making the score 1-3. Bell took advantage of the change in pace and stacked up his offensive line, moving two additional players to the front. David Clement rewarded the coaches decision by scoring another goal with only 10 minutes left. An*e Utne was rewarded a penalty kick as he returned to the box for another shot on the goal, and scored again to tie the game at 3-3. Utne followed the increase of team momentum with another goal scoring again with only two minutes left in the game, allowing the Panthers to win the game with a score of 4-3. Beating back Millbrook The Panthers met Millbrook for the second time in the season, scoring 5 goals on their home field, winning the game 5-1. Alex Ramey was the star of the game land ing three goals against Millbrook. Bell has switched up several players on the team, splitting goalie time between Arne Utne and Will Bolte. Forward Alex Ramey has been moved back to center field, allowing Owen Monroe to start as a forward. “We’ve got a couple of wins at our backs,” said Bell proudly, “we’re starting to get things together.” Democrats choose to hold a primary On March 10, Democratic county chairs or their representatives met in Shenandoah County and chose the primary as the method to select candidates for the fall elections. A primary is the most democratic process for candidate selection. It provides an opportunity for voters to meet and learn the candidate’s stand on issues and for the candidate to gain a fuller understanding of the concerns of the district. On June 12 of this year, the voters will go to the polls and vote for his/her selection. This decision to have a pri mary only affects the selection of Democratic candidates for State Senator in the 26th Senatorial District and for Delegate in the 15th Assembly District. Both seats are currently held by Republicans. Persons interested in becoming a Democratic candidate for these offices must file no later than April 13 at 5:00 pm. Filing consists of declaring your affiliation with the Democratic party and residency in the district, paying a nominal filing fee, and collecting 250 signatures on a petition for the senatorial candidacy and 125 signatures for the delegate candidacy.

jWilde takes on two teams I By Christine Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News Just after being named head coach of the Rappahannock County High School girls volleyball and basketball teams, Scott Wilde outlined a short but growing list of goals that he hoped to achieve. • A Bull Run District championship and defeating Strasbmg in volleyball. * Recruiting more girls to play for the basketball program. • Putting together packets of information on summer camps. • Open gym time for summer play. • Mandatory study halls after school. "I know the games, and a lot of the training and conditioning for the games is the same,” said Wilde, who spent two years as an assistant coach for the boys varsity basketball team. “It’s nice to coach both sports.” Wilde replaces Jared Nieters, who guided the Rappahannock County volleyball team to a fourth-place finish in the Group A state championship. He takes over for Rhonda Jenkins, who resigned following the girls basketball season. Panthers athletic director J.D. Almond likes the positive outlook that Wilde brings to the programs. "Scott can bring some enthusiasm and fresh ideas to the programs,” Almond said. Wilde fills two of the four open head coaching spots at Rappahannock County. The school still needs coaches for the football and cheerleading teams. Almond said that more than 30 people have expressed an interest in the head football spot "We have a good pool of applicants to weed through,” Almond said, adding that about 10 individuals will be interviewed fin* the post. Before coming to Rappahannock County to teach mathematics, Wilde spent one year in Culpeper and two in Caroline counties. He also has walked as a computer network engineer. A native of Ohio, Wilde played basketball and dub volleyball for two years at Gettysburg College (PA) before graduating from Bowling Green University. Since gaining the two coaching posts, Wilde has been busy meeting with returning players and gathering information about summer camps. Some of his volleyball players already have talked about winning a state title. Wilde’s goals are a little less lofty. “There are two goals. Beat Strasburg and win districts,” he said. “We didn’t beat Strasburg and we didn’t win the district last year. Let’s start with those.” Basketball presents a different challenge. The program has not had a winning season in years. The numbers are down. During this past season, only seven players were on the roster. “There’s a lot of talent in the girls at all levels,” Wilde said. “I’m looking to recruit some new girls to play.” TWO FOR THE ROAD: Scott Wilde has taken on two coaching positions at Rappahannock County High School. jmmmm ? urn Cowboy Camps (him May 14 - Sept. 15,2007 a&ow6ot^» at Sfteart” Hosted by: Double Rock Farm Rocky Ridge, Maryland 2 Day Cowboy Camps Include: Trail Rides • Branding Cattle Campfires • Roping Having Fun Colt for reservations at 301-606-6810 or Visit our web site DBLRockFatmcom \ RESPECT |l THE EARTH ...RECYCLE!

A new kind of nonprofit coming to Washington By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer Robert King is not your everyday, run-of-the-mill counselor. It would be just about impossible to place the 43-year-old Front Royal man into any single category, and his new nonprofit organization opening soon in the Town of Washington poses the same difficulty. King’s ministry comes from both Native American and Christian teachings. And his advice is delivered through what he calls gifts of clairvoyance, clairaudience and clairsentience. King, who is also known by Tired of shouldering the pain? L At Culpeper Regional Hospital, k we're more than a shoulder to cry on. Do you suffer from tired shoulders? Does it hurt when you rotate your arm? Does your shoulder socket creak or pop? That’s because your shoulder is more than a shoulder...it is actually several joints that combine with tendons and muscles to allow you to perform a wide array of tasks— from scratching your ear to swinging a golf club. This range of motion has a price, however. It may lead i to a number of conditions that can cause pain and [ affect your range of motion or quality of life.

The new office is scheduled to open in mid-April in the’ Clopton House at 360 Main St. King said he intends to provide a “well-rounded healing service” with medical, pastoral and counseling staff. The organization will not be involved in legal matters for clients, he said. Wingspan will rely primarily on donations from businesses and individuals, and operate much a like a church, he said. King says he does not see any conflicts between Native American beliefs and Biblical teachings. “There are so many similarities you’d be amazed,” he said. “What I’m able to offer is a beautiful combination of both worlds.” With a bright, white smil and intense, dark brown eyes King speaks of his work wit| great passion. But he is relu< tant to talk about himself, even take credit for his wort He chalks any successes up God. King has been performing intuitive readings and spii tually guided counseling sei vices for several years. Thosj abilities came to light early ii his life, King says. For example, one dal shortly before his fifth birtl day, he asked his mother if h] could play with his red trucl even though he did not havj any such toy. He continued to ask hij mother for the truck while h< pointed toward the ceiling His parents had hidden thl toy in the attic when he waj not at the house and plannee to give it to him as a birthdal gift. There was no explanation for how he would have kno^ the truck was there. When King was about years old, his mother regula] ly played cards with a grot of friends, and a traditic developed where King wou] tell his mother’s guests vai ous things about their lives] from detecting ailments diagnosing marital problei He told one woman th< was something she needed check in her blood and tl she should eat less sugar, went to see a doctor shoi afterward and, though thq was no history of diabetes her family, she did in have the disease. Experiences like the his parents to take before the board of Association of Research Enlightenment in Virgil Beach when he was 15 yei old. The board tested KinJ psychic abilities and detc mined that from a very eai age, King was able to see ail hear things beybnd norm! human perception and sens energies surrounding peoplj places and things. hang says some peopll come to him with personal issues like guilt or fear, whill others need counseling on marriage or other relationships. King says he has a closeat-hand example of a health}! relationship with his wife/ Carol. The two have been best friends since they met 32 years ago at junior high school in Annandale. They now have a 3-year-old daugh-f ter named Emma. He concedes that what hel does is unconventional, butj he says it works. “It’s like breathing oil memory, how do you explain how it works? It just works, j he said. He says many clients cornel to him with open minds! because they are referred byj friends or family members that have had positive experi-f ences with his' brand o| tough-love advice. “I never sugarcoat any| thing,” King said. “Sometime J it helps just to get anotheJ perspective, another person’^ point of view.” rte says ms practice is sue cessful because it’s not sect lar, but he never tries to coi vert anyone to Christianity. King has no empirical res son for opening an office iA Washington. He says hi g believes he has been guide* I to Rappahannock County b; jJ a higher power. “It’s all falling into place I there’s no doubt there’s a re a j§ son why I’ve been place* | here,’ he said. “It was just on I of those situations where th£i ' Lord led me here.” For more information about Wingspan, call 54( 675-3149 or contact Robei King at 540-635-5625 4buffalo@shentel.net.

Saitensohn rocks Blue Ridge timber feature By Betsy Parker Rappahannock News Staff Writer BERRYVILLE - A long, long way from home, Germanbred, English-raced, and now Maryland-trained Saitensohn seems to have at last found his stride in Clarke County. Saitensohn trounced a short field in the three-mile novice timber feature at Saturday's Rappahannock-Blue Ridge Hunts Point-to-Point. The make-up date served both hunts whose races were canceled from earlier in the month due to a regional horse quarantine. The bay gelding made the Woodley Farm start his first over timber since being imported to run over hurdles three years ago by Maryland trainer Jack Fisher. Author and amateur jockey A.P. “Paddy” Smithwick Jr. knew the bay gelding had latent talent when he and friend Mrs. John O'Keeffe purchased Saitensohn from trainer Fisher last fall. But gaining the horse's trust has been an ongoing project. Imported by Fisher with much fanfare as a potential U.S. hurdle star, he hadn’t shown much, falling once, finishing last and breaking down in a dull effort at Saratoga that summer. “He’s pretty rank,” Smithwick said after the Woodley win, slightly breathless after three miles of front-running, slightly erratic jumping in the horse’s first try over timber. Smithwick said Saitensohn actually whacked him in the face in his excitement at the start, nearly knocking him off as the five-horse field headed to the first fence. Smithwick shook off the stars as Saitensohn gathered and flew the first fence, concentrating on keeping the horse gathered, settled and straight. “He wanted to take a hold and run at the fences,” Smithwick said of the stacked rails circling the left-handed course. “I tried to settle him, but he wants to run through the bit.” Still, Smithwick inherited a grand skill set from his father, the late A.P. Smithwick Sr. — one of America’s most successful steeplechase jockeys — in particular soft, educated hands and an eye for a fence, so eventually Saitensohn began listening more and running away less. Saitensohn crossed the wire a full furlong ahead of his competition, prompting many in the crowd to foresee bigger Maryland timber for the pair. “Not sure where we’ll go from here,” Smithwick said. “He’s learning a lot from hunting [with Elkridge Harford] and hacking out [around Smithwick’s Maryland hunt country farm]. We’ll see how he comes back.” Before being imported to Saitensohn was a group-rated handicap hurdler in France and England, his most prolific start being the novice hurdle at the 2003 Cheltenham Festival. In the day's other racing, Clarke County based trainer Jimmy Day saddled two winners, Leaves of Autumn in the Virginia-bred flat, and Dixie Giggle in the maiden. Both runners are owned by Upperville’s Bruce Smart. Of the innovative “joint meet” race day, Rappahannock Hunt master Oliver Brown was pleased with the working model. “The EHV scare was unfortunate, but, honestly, it may have been a blessing in disguise,” Brown said. “There are so many meets on the calendar as it is. This way everybody got to run both nobody was stretched too thin.” “We made the best of a bad situation,” said Blue Ridge races chairman Michael Hoffman. “What we did (combining the races for a single make-up date) was not only innovative but very successful for both hunt clubs. “Everything was easier to do together,” Hoffman added, saying that the army of volunteers from both hunts to assist in setting up the course, organizing parking spaces, selling ads and more made for a sense of camaraderie that spanned county lines. “I know we both agree that we’re lucky in Virginia to have Will O’Keefe to look after the sport,” Brown said. Hoffman added that it was O’Keefe, director of the Virginia Steeplechase Association Central Entry office in Leesburg, who helped broker the situation of placing the Rappahannock-Blue Ridge meet on the Orange County Hunt races weekend. “It required cooperation from everybody,” Hoffman said.

Kennedy Center Chamber Players in Little Washington On Sunday, April 15 at 4 in the afternoon, the Theatre at Washington, Virginia presents the Orkis-Hardy Duo (from the Kennedy Center Chamber Players). Pianist Lambert Orkis and cellist David Hardy will play the first of two concerts of Beethoven's Complete Sonatas and Variations for Piano and Cello. Lambert Orkis writes, "The three sets of variations and five sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven for Piano and Cello are a mini-cycle that reveals his genius both as a creator and as an entrepreneur. With this inspired music, the early works of which were written to impress King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia, Beethoven introduces into the world a new musical genre featuring the cello, demonstrates his daring as a composer, and flaunts his skill as piano virtuoso." King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia was himself a cellist. Both as composer and as a pianist, Beethoven presented the king with sonatas for piano and cello. Beethoven was joined by the famed cellist Duport who owned what became known as the "Duport" Stradivarius cello. Orkis and Hardy will play, in the upcoming concert, two sonatas for piano and cello and two sets of variations for piano and cello from Mozart's opera "Die Zauberflote".

Paul’s on public radio Kid Pan Alley was featured on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition last Tuesday. Host Renee Montagne interviewed Kid Pan Alley founder ■ Paul Reisler for over an hour. The resulting feature was almost 8 minutes in length and included a number of Kid Pan Alley songs. The program is heard by over 13 million people and made it onto the NPR’s Most Emailed Stories pod cast. Kid Pan Alley, an initiative of Ki Theatre, began right here in Rappahannock in 2000 and has since spread throughout the country. The interview is online at http://www.npr. org/templates/story/ story.php?storyld=9107 568 or by searching for Kid Pan Alley at www.npr.org ‘Happy Feet’ is a toe-tapper By W. Jacob Thomas Special to the Rappahannock News This sweet, animated comedy plays at The Theatre on Gay Street, Friday, April 6, at 8 p.m. The first thing I expected when I saw the poster of “Happy Feet” was a corny movie about dancing and singing penguins. Boy, was I wrong! Yes, “Happy Feet” is about dancing and singing penguins alright, but it is also much more. It is an epic journey with plenty of slapstick comedy and an uplifting message. The music has originals and some old classics re-done. Your, kids will love it and it will make you want to rent it and watch it again. I recommend it for all ages. The main character is Mumble who lives in the land of penguins where every penguin is required to create and sing a song in order to attract a mate. But Mumble, because of an early incubation accident, can’t sing. He turns out to be an amazing tap dancer though. He becomes an outcast and leaves the colony. He goes in search of the aliens who are stealing the penguins’ fish. “Happy Feet” won the Oscar for Best Animated Film in 2006. Written and directed by George Miller, with the voices of Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman, “Happy Feet” runs 108 minutes and is rated PG. Don’t plan on leaving right sifter the film as representatives from the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community wifi show you how this film was made. Stay tuned!

America’s Cup of Polo - coming to Morven Park ByJanaRenn Rappahannock News Staff Writer If Tareq Salahi has anything to say about it, Leesburg will be to polo what Augusta, Ga., is to golf. Salahi, chairman of the America’s Cup of Polo that takes place May 12 at Morven Park, envisions the event being as big for the sport as the Masters Tournament is for golf. Salahi and several other people associated with the game held a press conference at the National Press Club in. Washington, D.C., bn March 26 to discuss the event. In the America’s Cup of Polo game, the American Polo team' will square off against the British Polo team to commemorate America’s 400th anniversary. Salahi said the day will begin with opening ceremonies, in which U.S. Navy M16s will fly over Morven Park while the rock band Journey performs the "Star-Spangled Banner.” Grammy award-winning gospel singer Claude McKnight, of the band Take 6, will perform “God Bless America,” and the Webb Sisters from England will sing “God Save the Queen.” Then, Salahi said, “one of the most aggressive polo matches ever” will take place on the field of Morven Park. A two-hour Journey concert will follow, accompanied by the Loudoun Symphony Orchestra. A crowd of 5,000 is expected for the match. “This will be a once-in-a-lifetime event,” Salahi said. Cartier has been named the event’s official jeweler, while Sheila Johnson’s Market Salamander in Middleburg is the official caterer, Land Rover is the official vehicle and the RitzCarlton is the official hotel. “We are really looking forward to raising the bar on the food at this event,” Johnson said at the press conference. Julian Hipwood, a polo star playing for the British team, agreed with Salahi that the game should be quite aggressive. He commented on the attention the game is receiving. “I never imagined how big and exciting this event would be,” Hipwood said. Charlie Muldoon, the director of Polo Operations for the event and a member of the American team, mentioned that Hipwood’s brother and son are both on the British team. “It’s going to be a tough game,” he said.

Inspiring 1lumgfxts by Randy Minter ANTICIPATORY GRIEF When a patient or family is expecting death, it is normal to experience mourning known as anticipatory grief. It shares many of the same symptoms with those experienced after a death has occurred—acute sadness, extreme concerp for the dying person, preparing for the death, and adjusting to changes caused by the death. Anticipatory grief gives the family more time to slowly get used to the reality of the loss. People are able to complete "unfinished business" with the dying person, like saying "I forgive you." Anticipatory grief does not mean that, before the death, a person feels the same kind of grief as after the death. There is no set amount of grief that a person will feel. Anticipating the death of a loved one may allow the family to prearrange commemorative options. Should you or a loved one be in this sort of situation, please feel free to contact MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. We will arrange an initial, confidential meeting. We will provide you with guidance, and assist you in determining how best to prepare services when death occurs. We are here for you 24 hours a day. whenever you need us. We are located at 233 Broadview Ave.. Warrenion. No detail is too large or too small for us to handle.

Spring is surely here! Bag worms and tent caterpillars As we welcome spring, we also begin to struggle with trying to manage pests in a safe way. Pine Phillips and Wendy Sirat gave me this little jewel of information today that I want to pass on to you. Bacteria Thuricide (bacillus thuringiensis) is a liquid cocktail that you can spray when those bag worms and tent caterpillars are feeding. The bacteria give them a very bad stomach, and they quickly expire. There is no residue and may be applied until the day of harvest (tomato horn worms, beware!). This product is available at the coop in Rappahannock and in Culpeper. Main Street and the river While Charlene JamesDuguid’s students were on the grass at the SchoolHouse learning safe stage combat techniques for the June •Shakespeare extravaganza, volunteers completed planting over 100 additional trees and shrubs in the riparian buffer on the Thornton River and shoppers quickly depleted the shops and tables at the Main Street flea market. It was a busy weekend in the village. How nice to see it so full of life and energy! RappFLOW will soon be calling owners and visiting additional sites along the Thornton River for the next location to be planted. If you are one of the lucky landowners who is called, please offer your land for this wonderful project. Ray and I have a house on the water in Cambridge, Md. where we are afraid to eat the fish and crabs we catch from our dock. It will be a long process to clean up the Chesapeake Bay, but we certainly can start to make a difference here in Sperryville.

One page at a time ' Nancy Delaney doesn’t live •in our world of automatic this and instant that. She lives in a 'place where electricity isn’t needed. It’s a world where craftsmanship is one person with great skill and training working meticulously on one item at a time. And I was fortunate enough to visit Nancy’s world this week. Nancy is the force behind Delaney Restorations, LLC located right here in Amissville. And you’d never guess that inside this modern home was an operation that is much like one you would have seen a couple of hundred years ago. Delaney Restorations does hand bookbinding and restorations. She restores books such as generations-old family bibles. But she’ll also hand bind new materials. Say you’ve stumbled upon letters your great grandparents wrote each other over a 20 year period. Bring them to , Nancy and have them bound in something special that treats them like the heirloom they are. ine work Nancy does is not ■easily learned. While Nancy knew she wanted to do this when she was still in high school, she found it impossible to find a school that taught these techniques. So, she went to college and tried to take the ■ courses that she thought would < be most useful. She majored in .‘art history and had enough course work in English literature to get a minor. She’s since added general and organic chemistry courses. After college, 'Still unable to find a school to train her in these techniques, she elected to apprentice with a woman in Winchester who was the sole practitioner of this craft in the Commonwealth of Virginia. She spent five years as an apprentice and another five years there gaining additional experience before she decided she was ready to go out on her own. Nancy was gracious enough to show me around her workshop and explain the process to ine. It was fascinating to see that most of the tools she uses • are from another century! I loved looking at the loom used 'for hand sewing the pages -together. And the backer used to make the rounded spine on the books is an amazing tool that looks every bit of its 200 years. Some of the people who find their way to Nancy with their books don’t fully understand that this is a very manual process. “They ask if they can pick up the book the next day,” she says laughing. “They think there’s a machine and I put the book in one end and the finished product comes out the other end!” But we’re talking hand Photos by Julie Emery FROM THE PAST: This tool which is over 200 years old was, and is, used to form the back of restored books.

It’s done with old fashioned type and is imprinted in the book one letter at a time! It really is amazing that anyone devotes this kind of time and attention to anything these days. The finished product is a work of art to be cherished and each one is unique. I was lucky enough to get to see a family Bible from a local Amissville client. She showed me the before picture and it’s truly amazing that it’s been put back together! She also has a photo album showing the process of restoring a family Bible that had been almost destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. The before process definitely looks like something unsalvageable. But Nancy was able to bring it back and the final pictures are of a family treasure restored.

Right now she does about 10 books per month, but ■ could handle slightly higher volumes. I think once word gets out about what she does she’ll have more work than she can handle! This is a dying craft with only two people in all of Virginia who do this work. If you’d like to find more about Nancy and her work you can go to her web site at or give her a call at 937-2981. I’m off to have a look at my family’s stash of old books! Easter tradition Washington I Jan Clatterbuck 675-3338 • jclatterbuck@ I timespapers.com The Easter holiday is right upon us. The Amissville United Methodist Church has already placed their silhouettes along U.S. 211 in Amissville that illustrate the events leading up to to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The first eight are on U.S. 211 West and the last four are on U.S. 211 East ending at the church. An Easter gathering is something that almost every family looks forward to. It is a time when family and friends gather and have a great time eiyoying each other’s company. Most families will get up early on Easter Sunday and get all dressed up to go to the Easter service at church, and the children will be so excited because . they have special new clothes for the family gathering. They will have lunch or dinner together. The Easter gathering is to celebrate their special bonds as well as the resurrection of Christ. This is a special time for everyone who takes part in this wonderful holiday. Easter baskets tradition Children with their Easter baskets are a tradition that has been passed down for many years. Small children will bring their baskets for a special Easter egg hunt. Remember, that there is an Easter egg hunt at the Washington Fire Hall on Saturday morning. Some families include the small children in coloring the eggs. The older people then hide the eggs outside while the children wait patiently. They try to hide them in great places so the children will find them with so much excitement. Most children want to find the prettiest eggs, and they usually want to find more eggs than the other children for their Easter basket. It does not matter what you do to spend your time on Easter Sunday, as long as you are with your family and your friends, you will have a wonderful time. You can make memories and have special bonds that you can remember for a lifetime and then pass on to new members as time goes on. The Middle Street Gallery is open on Easter if you’re in the mood for an afternoon stroll and some great art.

Right up front, I want to say that, while I don’t have any children in the school system, I support the best wages for our teachers that we can afford. There is no better place the county can spend its money. But, that is not the crux of the school budget problem. The problem is one of priorities. The enormity of the federal budget process makes its comparison to the problem at hand a stretch, but let me remind you of the “Washington Monument” budget argument. For some years, various administrations tried to cut back all federal department budgets, including the Department of the Interior. One group that reports to DOI, you will recall, is the National Park Service. One of those national parks is the Washington Monument. DOI’s response to proposed budget cuts was, “Well, we will have to close the Washington Monument.” As this story goes, congressman and senators, not wanting their constituents to come to Washington, D.C., and not be able to visit the Washington Monument, would bring pressure to bear to make sure the DOI budget wasn’t cut. Tb some extent, the foregoing is a fable; to some extent, it is not. What we have here is a problem of priorities. Too many people, with varied interests, have imposed their will on the county and school budget, and, as a result, too much money is being spent in areas that are far below the top of the priority list. That is not to say that many of these items are not “nice to have.” But, you cannot have it all. And putting teacher salaries first on the chopping block is disingenuous and mean-spirited. The taxpayers should not allow the school administration, to come to a public meeting with the premise that if the proposed budget isn’t approved and they don’t get the half million dollars ‘extra’ they need, then the teachers will not get a raise, and, so it would be implied, it is all the fault of the stingy taxpayers. , Look at your own property taxes and how they have increased over the last two or I three years. Using my own as ■ an example, if the county had Brady’s Clark Hollow Rambunqs Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl® juno.com used just the increase in real estate taxes for teachers’ compensation, their salary would have gone up 40% over the past two years. Where has this money been used? What the taxpayers should do...because it has become obvious the Board of Supervisors isn’t going to do it...is ask the school administrators why they haven’t used the millions of dollars they have been given in recent years to pay our I" teachers the wages they now believe they deserve? How could their priorities in previous years have been so wrongheaded that they let our teachers’ salaries get so far behind? You cannot be a good steward of the public resources by simply holding out your hand for more. You have to manage your human resources and you have to manage your fiscal resources. Effective management sets priorities and follows through to see that they are met. If the Board of Supervisors will do nothing more, they should at least be able tq say to the school administration, “Here is your $332,228 for teacher salary increases. Make certain it is used that way. Now, prepare for our review a proposed budget that demonstrates that priority and totals the same dollar value as last year’s budget.” Then we could have a public meeting about what other ‘extras’ might be considered.

Rockin’ Rodeo Relay Team Captains’ meeting April 19 By Bette Mahoney Special to the Rappahannock News In Rappahannock County, many of us still wave to the cars we meet on our small country roads maybe because if we don’t know the people in the car now, we are likely to meet them soon at church, a meeting, the library, the theatre, or at a local country store: But maybe it is because we are a small, friendly community. Certainly, because we are a small community, our Relay for Life is more of a neighborhood event than a big national fund raiser and a larger proportion of our population of 7,000 comes to the Relay than do in most communities. Why do we Relay? The reasons can be summarized under three headings: (1) Friends and Family; (2) Fund Raising; and (3) Fun. Friends and Family: In Rappahannock County, about 32 persons are newly diagnosed with cancer each year. If national patterns hold here, one-half of Rappahannock males and one-third of Rappahannock females will develop some form of invasive cancer. It is no wonder that we all know so many persons and families whose lives have been so profoundly affected by this disease. We Relay in support of our friends or family that have been stricken with cancer. _ Fund Raising: Relay for Life is the only county fund raiser for the Rappahannock County Unit of the American Cancer Society (ACS). It is our opportunity to support the ACS’s work in research and programs. Since 1946, ACS has invested $2.9 billion in cancer research and has played a role in almost all scientific milestones in cancer research. In addition to research, ACS supports education and information and programs to support those with cancer. (In Rappahannock, you can reach the Cancer Information Center by dialing 1-800-ACS2345 or www.cancer.org to receive answers to your questions and referrals to local resources 24 hours a day.) Fund raising mostly takes place before the event as Relay teams’ members solicit sponsors for themselves and their teams and through other activities such as bake sales and yard sales. Fun: The Relay is also one of the largest community events in Rappahannock County and is a fun event being both a celebration of life and a community party. .The Relay teams set up campsites and survivors walk the first lap, symbolizing the progress we have made. Evening luminary ceremonies memorialize those special people who have lost their battles with the disease and celebrate those who have survived. In addition, cancer education takes place. The theme of this year’s event is “Rockin’ Rodeo Relay” and some of the dress, food and entertainment will be associated with that theme. There may even be a “riding” bull if we can get insurance to cover potential accidents. The third meeting for all team captains of the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life is Thursday, April 19 at 7 p.m. at the Washington Baptist Church. Any one thinking about participating as a Team Captain in the Relay is invited as well. This is the last day for registering your team so that your team’s name will be on the back of the t-shirt. Team captains should be prepared to register and also provide their team’s t-shirt sizes by this upcoming meeting. Teams can still register after this date but team names will not be on the t-shirt. You can also volunteer other help. Refreshments will be served. The Relay will take place on May 19 and 20 at the Rappahannock County Elementary School. If you need additional information, please call Bev Atkins at 540675-3843 or Ester Settle at 540-675-3252. Health Fair gets a boost “Alive and Kicking” scheduled for April 21 By Bette Mahoney Special to the Rappahannock News The American Cancer Society awarded a small minigrant of about $650 to the Rappahannock Unit to help support the costs of advertising the project and assisting with screenings. The award is part of the American Cancer Society’s Rural Initiative. The event, similar to that done in 2005 will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Rappahannock County High School gym on Saturday, April 21. A number of recognized health care providers will provide screening activities for free: • Dr. John McCue will be attending as medical officer for the day, • The Rappahannock Lions will do sight and hearing screening; • Culpeper Hospital will perform cholesterol and blood sugar screens; • The Rappahannock Health Department will be doing pediatric health screens and providing those children who arrive early with teddy bears (Teddy Bear Clinic); • Fauquier Hospital will probably perform breast exams and prescription reviews with a pharmacist (patients will bring all their prescription drugs in a brown bag); • The University of Virginia Medical Center will do head and neck cancer screening and provide smoking ces sation education? • The American Cancer Society will do skin damage assessment with their Derma Scan machine; • Dr. Joe Skinner will be doing a scoliosis and sports check; • Germ anna Community College will bring dental hygiene students for oral cancer screening. Students will be supervised (and assisted) by Dr. Tom Johnson, Public Health Dentist; • Doug Baumgardner will be helping with Living Wills; • The Flint Hill Rescue Squad will be doing blood pressure and heart screenings, as well as measuring weight and taking health histories; • The Washington Rescue Squad will be doing 12-lead electro-cardiograms and File for Life record keeping after the Fodderstack Race; • Warren Memorial Hospital will be doing body mass index calculations; • Kathy Edwards will be doing nutrition and health counseling; • Roberts Home and Medical Equipment will be demonstrating hospital beds; • And, there will be others. And, in usual Rappahannock fashion, there will be nutritious snacks. ^ The Health Fair planning group is looking for volunteers. Call Delma Bagley (540-9878605) or Bette Mahoney (540675-3446).

On March 14, Hearthstone School’s second and third grades, and several high school students, went to Wakefield Country Day School to see Mime artist Mark B as ter. Our thanks to Wakefield for the invitation to attend this event, which was enjoyed by all! Wakefield Country Day* School * Project launched Students in Wakefield Country Day School’s Advanced Placement Environmental Science class have successfully launched their wood duck habitat project, spending the better part of a day erecting seven nesting boxes on a local landowner’s property. This collaborative effort involved nearly a dozen Rappahannock landowners, WCDS students, and four local businesses that helped underwrite the construction costs involved in this undertaking. The nesting boxes were built in class several weeks beforehand. Once on site, students used a gas auger to drill holes, and then lag-bolted the boxes to 4 x 4 posts. After inserting the boxes and posts into the prepared sites, tamping irons and rocks were used to stabilize the structure. Next, predator guards were placed below the boxes to keep out rac gaBaaat Photo Courtesy ot Katrite Russo SIMPLY DUCKY: Wakefield students take a break next to one of their Wood Duck nesting boxes. mmm Photo by Jennifer Heverty OUT AND ABOUT: Hearthstone third graders visited the American Indian museum. Pictured from left to right are Schuyler Reynolds, Jackson Strickler, Sara Garcia, Kalila Plonka, Daniel Vaughan and Jackson Heverly. “Just Listed” Two offerings in Rappahannock County coons, snakes and other threats and, finally, 10 inches of cedar chips were laid inside the boxes as bedding. Three of the boxes were erected in a marsh next to a river, and four were placed in a lake. The project was spear-headed by Wakefield parent Mr. Jeff Perry, in coordination with AP Environmental Science teacher Mrs. Ann Pankow. Mr. Peny taught science for 17 years and holds a degree in Forestry from Virginia Tech. He oversaw a much larger version of this type of project on Maryland’s Eastern shore, producing 250 nesting boxes over the course of 10 years. The boxes come just in time for nesting season and will be checked next fall to monitor the success of the project. Mr. Peny hopes to add additional boxes on other sites next year. College News Chan tel Paul has been accepted at Virginia Commonwealth University, and Catriona Tbth has been accepted at the University of Maine.

Spring Clean Up The annual Spring Clean-Up of county roadsides and stream banks is starting up, and as many citizens, property owners, families, friends, churches, schools, businesses and other organizations as possible are encouraged to participate through the month of April by taking the time to pick up trash and debris along roads and streams in Rappahannock County. Participants may either use their own bags, or may get large, durable orange bags from the local Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) office, located across from the Flatwood recycling / trash transfer station off the Shade Road. Participants may either take the bags they have filled to the Flatwood facility or to the Amissville facility, or they may contact the VDOT office to let them know where a pick-up took place, and VDOT will then provide the service of picking up the bags along the roads where they have been left. Participants are asked not to take wood or metal to the Flatwood facility, and if bags are left by the road at their pick-up location, it is requested that they be safely off the road but not placed in a dangerous location for the VDOT trucks to stop and pick them up. The local VDOT office number at Flatwood is 540-987-8939. Contact Ritchie Lillard or any of the staff there who will be glad to help arrange for bags to be obtained and collected. For further information, if there are any questions, and to leave a count of how many bags a particular individual or group picked up and where, for our records, please contact clean-up coordinator Hunt Harris by phone at 540-987-3366 or email do huntoldragon@earthlink.net or call the County Administrator’s office at 540-675-5330. The clean up will run from mid-March through April. State agencies hoping to clean up Rappahannock County streams By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer If Rappahannock County wants to clean up its bacteriacontaminated streams, residents are going to have to clean up their acts. That is, failing septic systems, pipes that allow sewage to flow straight into waterways and defecating cattle that are not fenced out of rivers are loading the county’s waters with fecal coliform bacteria. Such bacteria indicate the potential presence of pathogens and pose a health hazard for recreational activities such as swimming Representatives from two state agencies leading an effort to determine where those sources of bacterial contamination are coming from and what it will take to clean them up presented their Arid ings on March 22 at the Rappahannock County Library. The Department of Conservation and Recreation and the Department of Environmental Quality are heading a process to design and implement what is called a total maximum daily load (TMDL) plan. A TMDL is the amount of pollution a body of water can take in and still meet water quality standards set by state and federal governments. Waters that do not meet those standards are labeled “impaired.” The Upper Rappahannock River Basin project aims to clean up 16 stream segments in parts of eight counties. Four of the segments are on the Hazel, Hughes, Rappahannock and Rush rivers in Rappahannock County. The TMDL process has three steps: finding the pollution sources and determining the reductions needed, developing a plan to install conservation measures - also called best management practices (BMPs) - to fix the pollution problems, and finally putting the plan into action. The DCR and DEQ have finished the first step and are working on the second step to develop an implementation plan for BMPs. Such practices include fencing livestock out of streams and planting vegetated buffers next to waterways. Funding from state and federal agencies is available to landowners who install BMPs that will have a positive effect on water quality in impaired streams. For example, some $3.5 million is available statewide through grants from the DCR’s Water Quality Improvement Fund. Several other incentive programs, such as the conservation reserve program (CRP), are available to farmers. Public input is an important ingredient in the TMDL process, and representatives from both agencies have said they welcome local citizens who have ideas and important information that will help make the TMDL endeavor a success. Comments about the TMDL process can be submitted to the DEQ’s Katie Conaway via email at mkconaway@deq.virginia.gov or U.S. mail at 13901 Crown Court, Woodbridge, VA 22193. The comment period ends April 18.

Contact Peter Wiley School From Page B7 Workmen from Precision Sports Surfaces were working at the track during the week of March 19. Supt. Bob Chappell asked them why they were there. They responded that they had been directed to clean (with leaf blower and pressure washer) the track to prepare for the final coat to be installed during the last week of March. Premier had not returned to the site by March 29. Supt. Bob Chappell emailed the company to implore them to finish the work April 2 and 3 when the weather was expected to be dry and warm. Premier was not on the site April 2 and 3. Note: The RCPS wants the community to know that the track resurfacing company (Precision Sports Surfaces) is not to be confused with Premier Sports Fields run by County resident Bob Benyo. Mr. Benyo’s company worked for the Board of Supervisors to build a firstrate football-soccer field. Benyo’s company also did some preparatory work (excavation and subsurface gravel installation) for the track. Benyo also removed a number of trees and overhanging branches that the Precision rep asked him to remove. In addition to that, by August 20, 2006, the RCPS removed every single tree identified by a Precision Sports Surfaces rep as being a possible impediment to direct sunlight hitting the track. Lack of direct sunlight has been the common refrain given by Precision when asked why they have not completed the work. REDUCED ... I ■ mnm mrvmrmm * „w- n — i Ml....

Sullivan From Page B1 what it is that makes a publication so popular that people and institutions are willing to pay $1,500 to $5,000 plus for their products and services. He plans to review how a 150 year-old magazine like The Atlantic Monthly maintains its viability and popularity over the years. And finally, Sullivan will give his view of the challenges and opportunities posed by the new digital/ Internet world of today. Undoubtedly, he also will be asked about politics and people. The discussion promises to be a stimulating evening. The National Journal, founded in 1969, is a weekly magazine about American politics and government. It is widely read in political circles in the nation’s capital and costs. Because of its authori ty. it has partnered with MSNBC and National Public Television to provide research and information for their programs. It costs $1,885 per annum and is subscribed to principally by institutions, public interest groups and trade association, rather than individuals. Sullivan’s group also publishes the well-known Atlantic Monthly, first published in 1847. It, too, is a highly respected source for its coverage of politics, world affairs, and culture and has a readership of over 450,000 subscribers around the country. It has won numerous national magazine awards considered the “Oscars” of the magazine publishing world. Reservations are not required for this event but from past experience, it is advisable to arrive at the Rappahannock County Library well before the 8:00 o’clock starting time.

David Hardy achieved international recognition in 1982 as the top American prize winner at the Seventh International Tchaikovsky Cello Competition in Moscow. He made his solo debut with the National Symphony Orchestra in 1986 with Mstislav Rostropovich conducting. In 1994 he was named Principal Cellist of the NSO by Music Director Leonard Slatkin.
