M Carnival continues through June 30 Mello By Charlie Spiering Rappahannock News Staff Writer Roger Mello, principal of Rappahannock County High School, has been named principal of Eastern View High School, Culpeper’s second high school slated to be open for the fall of 2008. --. Mello’s position will be effective ^vuV 2 as he will serve an integral role ifHhe school’s formation. "It’s a golden opportunity to be part of the founding of a new high school,” said Mello on Tuesday morning. Mello, 42, won the position after a search committee unanimously recommended him for the position, out of 18 applicants. Although the school w3l not be opening until 2008, Mello will be working with the Culpeper administration to form the school’s character. A new era for Culpeper Mello said that the position in Culpeper would be challenging, but he was willing to be part of the county’s transition from one high school to two. “With two high schools, the children in Culpeper will benelit from a smaller learning environment,” he said. Currently Culpeper County high school has about 2,400 students. With the addition of Eastern View High School in 2008, each high school will have a population of 1,200. “I believe the true measure of school success is how much you give to your community and the children in it,” Mello said, “a good high school should become part of th. fabric of a community and should serve as a source of pride for the citizens.” Culpeper School Superintendent David Cox said that Mr. Mello brings a great deal of experience to the job. “Bringing a planning principal on board one year before the scheduled Supervisors approve $20.3 million county budget Board denies sheriff s funding request By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News StaffWiiter The long haul is over. After months of haggling, hearing requests for funding and making tough public decisions, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors has approved the county's budget for fiscal 2008. On Monday, the supervisors approved the $20,292,876 budget by a vote of 3 to 1. Jackson District Supervisor Ron Frazier was the only dissenting vote and Wakefield District Supervisor Roger Welch did not attend the meeting. The budget will require a real estate tax rate of 59 cents on each $100 of assessed land value and a personal property tax rate of $4.20 on each $100 of value on vehicles. The real estate tax rate is 1 cent higher than it was last year. The board had already approved the public schools’ $12.1 million portion of the county budget in May. That left mnghly $8.2 million to be authorized for other county expenses. The major component of that $8.2 million that needed to be settled Monday was the budget for the County Sheriff’s Office. County Administrator John McCarthy proposed $885,011 for the sheriff’s office’s fiscal 2008 budget. Sheriff Larry Sherertz requested $899,005. The additional funding would have increased deputies’ annual pay raises from $4,000 to $5,000 and covered 100 percent of the healthinsurance costs for retirees who serve 20 or more years in the sheriff’s office. The proposed budget covers 50 percent of those retirees’ health benefits. Without any discussion, the board decided unanimously to leave the sheriff’s office budget as it was proposed by Rappahannock News , P.O. Box 59 ' Washington, Va. 22747 (540) 675-3338 (540) 675-3088 (fax) McCarthy. Frazier said he voted against the overall county budget because he did not approve of the school budget either. The schools’ budget is too high and funding cuts could be made there, he said. Another notable inclusion in the budget is a one-time expense of nearly $14,000 for a 1.85 percent increase for county employees’ retirement benefits. Frazier noted that revenue for the county’s building office was about $30,000 below its expenses of $114,000 last year. McCarthy explained that part of the reason for the shortfall is that the county has not raised its building Sees in four years. “I think we do need to increase fees to compare with what our neighboring counties are charging,” McCarthy said. The public did not seem to be very interested in the budget process Monday. Only five people attended the meeting, and that number includes two reporters and Sherertz.

Cloniger’s defense questioned the jury's verdict and delayed sentencing for the crime. Cloniger was found guilty of firstdegree murder in January by a Rappahannock County jury that recommended a life’s sentence for the murder of Edward Carlton Fletcher Jr. Public defender Bonnie Hoffman filed a last minute motion last Thursday afternoon (June 21) alleging that “prejudicial third party contact” was made with the jury during the three-day trial. The alleged event centers around .Edward Fletcher Jr.’s uncle, Kelvin Carbaugh, and happened on the second day of the trial (in January) while friends and family members were .. waiting in the hall to return to the courtroom after a lunch break. Four members of the media were also present at the time of the alleged incident. Cloniger’s sister, Mary Streightiff testified that Carbaugh said several times out loud the phrase, “A life for a life” and shaped an “L” on his forehead with his fingers. According to StreightifFs testimony, the jury was in an adjoining room waiting to return to the courtroom when the incident occurred. The door to the room was not closed. “We ask that the court investigate, considering the seriousness of the allegations,” Hoffman concluded. All persons present at the time of the alleged incident, as well as members of the jury could be called to testify for the hearing. The court could set aside the verdict and declare a mistrial, if the NEWSMAKERS^ Pedal to the metal? Watch out as driver's tees soar. New rates go into effect next See tags A&. Still time!

Mark Currence transported Ira Wayne Cloniger to the courthouse where he was found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Edward Carlton Fletcher Jr. Rappahannock News Staff Photo Kevin Ailen defense can prove that the jury was tampered with before they readied a verdict. Commonwealth attorney Peter Luke stated, in his argument, that it wa* unclear whether or not the jury was affected in the incident. “We don't have any testimony that proves that the jury in fact heard this statement,* he said Luke also noted that, according to StreightifTs testimony there was no certainty that the comment was directed to any member of the jury and questioned whether die phrase itself was a prejudicial statement Judge Jeffery Parker was dearly annoyed at the last minute motion, but after hearing threshold evidence from the defense, he agreed to an evidentiary hearing on the allegations. Hoffman said in court that she filed the motion at' the last hour because she was still investigating the alleged incident. Cloniger was the subject of a week long manhunt in Rappahannock County last July after he fled the murder scene of Edward Fletcher Jr who was stabbed in the throat. He was apprehended late on the night of Sunday; July 9 in a field near Massie’s corner. Cloniger was charged and found guilty of first degree murder in a jury trial in January for the crime. The defense team maintained during the trial that Cloniger committed a crime of passion, and asked the jury to merely find him guilty of manslaughter The evidentiary hearing is scheduled for July 20. Sentencing will be postponed until after the matter is resolved. Email the reporter at cspieringOtimespapersAom

"The fire chief says, “What‘s the address?” and die people say, “just drive down the road and you’ll see the smoke.” But to the rural firefighters and EMS personnel in this area, finding a home quickly during an emergency is no laughing matter. That’s why Castleton Community Volunteer Fire Company has recently started selling reflective metal plates with house numbers for only $15. The plates are 6” x 18” with 3” numbers and are screwed onto mailboxes or posts so house numbers can be easily spotted at night.

As an assistant principal in Rappahannock County, Mello’s salary would have been $69,198; as an assistant coach he would have added about $2,000 to his earnings at the school. Mello said that that he had “mixed emotions” about leaving his position at Rappahannock County High School but said that he will keep his son John, and his daughter Jennifer, in Rappahannock County Public schools. “It’s a testimony to the excellence of the schools in Rappahannock,” he said, “a lot of people don’t realize how great they are.” Rappahannock Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell said he appreciated Mello’s five years of service, noting that he touched the lives of many students. “The School Board and I are very disappointed that we won’t have Roger on the RCHS leadership team as we move forward,” he said, “we wish him success in starting the new school in Culpeper.” With Mello’s acceptance of the principal position in Culpeper, he wifi not be taking on die position of assistant football coach in Rappahannock. Mello said, however, that he would offer assistance to the coaching staff “I look forward to working with the school administrators as an involved parent and friend instead of leader” he said. “Til still be around.” Email the reporter at cspiering@timespapers.com Budget From Page A1 ~ * ' -*■ Monument restoration More than three months after the Confederate Monument in front of the County Treasurer's Office was scheduled to be restored, the company hired to do the work Has not yet started on it.

McCarthy said the money set aside for the project is still available, but will need to be reauthorized by the board for the fiscal 2008 budget. That action will be decided at the supervisors’ August meeting.

Rappahannock’s backing for the proposal qualifies it as a regional project and will help Fauquier’s chances of receiving the grant, McCarthy said. Volunteer fire squads from Rappahannock will have access to the training buildings. Fauquier may receive up to $400,000 for the construction of the buildings and up to $30,000 for design and site costs from the Virginia Department of Fire Programs.

Regional News New laws to go into effect July 1 Despite being in session only for a matter of weeks earlier this year, Virginia’s General Assembly did get a couple of bills passed. If you count 948 new laws as any small matter, that is. Thats the number of bills that survived both chambers and met the governor’s approval. Most new laws will go into effect July 1. A total of 3,069 bills were introduced for the 2007 session, but only 1,553 passed both houses. That number was further whittled down by continuances and vetoes for the final count. Laws passed range from the mundane — police being exempt from misdemeanor charges for puncturing tires while discharging their duties — to having daily impact on everyday life, such as new transportation fees and taxes. A full list of bills that were signed into law can be found at http://legl.state.va.us/ and by clicking on “Statistics” and then “Approved.” For a summary of bills that are of general interest and likely to have the most impact on citizens’ daily lives, visit http://dls.state.va. us/pubs/idc/welcome.htm. —Michelle Zimmermann The following are several new laws that will go into effect on July 1.

Virginia rolls out the $3550 speeding ticket By John H. Arundel Rappahannock News Staff Writer . This 4th of July weekend Northern Virginia motorists will take to the roads for beach excursions, backyard picnics and patriotic partying. But don’t speed, and definitely don’t drink and drive, because hefty “abuser fees” are waiting for lead-footed motorists at the courthouse. In Virginia, new laws go on the books next week aimed at curbing highway speeding and drinking and driving. Virginia motorists convicted of traffic violations will face a new, multiyear tax beginning July 1 with assessments of up to $3,000 in addition to an annual point tax that tops out at $700 a year for as long as the points remain. The new so-called “driver responsibility tax” was slipped into the state’s massive transportation funding bill by state Del. David B. Albo (R-Springfield), which was signed into law by Gov. Tim Kaine (D) in April to pay for more than $1 billion in state road improvements. “The purpose of the civil remedial fees imposed in this section is to generate revenue [for state road improvements],” the new law states, but Albo, a senior partner in the Springfield traffic law firm of Albo & Obion, LIP, may see a significant bump in his business as motorists seek to protect their bank accounts from the hefty traffic fines. The new fines could also cause financial hardships on Virginia motorists, especially those earning below $30,000 per year, civic activists say. Driving as little as 15 MPH over the limit on an interstate highway will now bring six license demerit points, a fine of up to $2,500, up to one year in jail, and a new mandatory $1,050 tax. The new law also imposes an additional annual fee of up to $100 if a prior conviction leaves the motorist with a balance of eight demerit points, plus $75 for each additional point (up to $700 a year). A conviction would remain on the record for five years. If you’re a first-time drunk driver, expect a $300 fine at the courthouse and a $2,250 fee from the state. Driving without a license might bring a $75 fine, but definitely a $900 fee from the commonwealth. Drivers who already have points on their licenses (speeding tickets usually earns four points) will be hit for $75 for every point above eight and $100 for having those points in the first place. Six-point convictions include such infractions as passing a school bus, failing to give a proper signal or driving with an obstructed view. The $1,050 assessment applies, but those convictions stay on a driver’s record for 11 years. While the amount of the tax can add up, the law issued by the State Supreme Court forbids judges from reducing or suspending the state fines in any way. “People were overwhelmingly saying “fix traffic problems,” Kaine said in a call-in show Tuesday on WTOP Radio. “It takes money to do it.” The new tax applies only to Viiginia residents, so that outof-state motorists only need to pay the regular ticket amount. Standard traffic infractions, such as low-level speeding and running a stop sign, do not carry the fees. The state courts posted the fees and eligible offenses this month. In Virginia, drivers can pay the fee in installments over a three year period. The deadline for filing an application for tax relief for the elderly and disabled is July 1st.

Medicare pays for more than 80 percent of Hospice patients so this directly impacts the quality and availability of care they can provide. Preventing these cuts is essential. Rate increases over the last few years have been significantly below inflation, and the rate has actually declined in many areas. For the counties that Hospice of the Rapidan serves which includes Rappahannock as well as Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison and Orange cuts to Hospice equates to a reduction of the people that Hospice can help. Part of their strategy for dealing with this threat is a letter campaign to Congress. Attached are forms of messages urging support from our Congressman and Senators. Please send them by following the instructions below. Thank you for taking a few minutes to help ensure that Congress protects hospice reimbursement rates for the future. Please send a quick email or letter to Senator Warner, Senator Webb and or Representative Eric Cantor urging them to support legislation that will not cut Medicare reimbursement rates. Your help is essential to the success of this initiative. Redskins fans As part of ongoing fund raising efforts, the Hospice of the Rapidan is selling raffle tickets an upcoming Redskins game. There will be two first prize drawings. Winners will receive four premium tickets on the 40-yard line. These seats are nine rows behind the Redskins’ bench and include a reserved parking place. The first winner will be able to choose their choice of home game against Miami, New York, Detroit, Arizona, Buffalo, Chicago or Dallas. The price? $10 per ticket or 3 tickets for $25 The drawing is September 5. Stop by the Rappahannock News and see Anita Sherman. She has some or you can get them on line at www.hotr.org. Letters What are the children eating? Tn last week’s newspaper, the school board JLdiscussed raising school breakfast and lunch prices and quoted Dr. Chappell saying that the school lunch program is not self-sustaining Before we raise the price, maybe we should look at what is being served and how it is being served to the students. The french fries according to many students, two of whom live with me, are cold and frozen most of the time. They are no longer cooked in a deep fryer, they are baked or put into a warmer to get warm. Hot dogs are served on a whole wheat bun instead of a regular hot dog bun. How many elementary school children like whole wheat bread? How many adults do? Especially with a hot dog on it. The bread sticks are hard, the students can’t remember the last time they had the homemade vegetable soup that they used to have. They also used to have homemade mac & cheese and chicken casserole too. The High School does not have a salad bar and most of their food is pre-packaged. They offer hamburgers and pizza at least two days a week. The sloppy-joe's, chili and spaghetti are now made with turkey burger instead of hamburger. What happened to offering a salad bar, a baked potato bar, the homemade desserts and breads that we used have? Putting food in a warmer, for example; mashed potato mix with hot water is not making mashed potatoes. Breakfast used to be homemade and not pre-cooked frozen items. We used to get sausage gravy and white biscuits, now we get brown biscuits. When I would bring the boys to school in the mornings, I would buy the biscuits and gravy for myself. They were that good! They never have pancakes anymore or real bacon and sausage. Yes, it may be healthier but the students are not buying it because it does not taste good. We need to look at the school menus and put foods together that belong together and try serving items students want to eat. They can still be healthy and nutritious. Maybe we should hire a professional dietitian who knows what the children should be eating and then it can be self sustaining. We also need to look at how much we are spending on the pre-cooked, pre-packaged items and compare it to what we would be spending if things were homemade. We have five employees each at the High School and the Elementary School, surely someone in those two groups knows how to cook. My boys really miss the homemade food and I am sure several others do as well. Pat Jenkins used to cook. Maybe we should work on the quality of the food we are serving, before we raise the prices of food no one wants to eat. And if Dr. Chappell wants to save the $47,000, already designated and approved by the board, is the 10-cent raise going to save that much money and what is he going to do with that money if it is saved? The money has already been budgeted to supplement the cafeteria, are the taxpayers who have children eating at school, going to be paying again? Amy Hitt AmissviDe Support the sludge ordinance A t its June 18 meeting, the xxRLEP Board of Directors unanimously endorsed the county's proposed new Sludge Ordinance. Short of the outright ban that Rappahannock County currently has on the books but which can no longer survive court challenge, we believe the proposed ordinance may be the strongest in Virginia. Peter Luke and the Sludge Ordinance Drafting Committee, which included representation from RLEP and RappFLOW, deftly used Virginia Chesapeake Bay legislation and Federal and State clean water regulations to establish a strong legal basis for putting together an ordinance that will be more restrictive than the State sludge-permitting regulations themselves. This will help to deter the land application of sewage sludge in Rappahannock County and mitigate the effects of its use if ever a landowner applies under the new county code. Should our Board of Supervisors approve the new legislation, and we hope they will, a permanent record (as proposed by RLEP) of land that has suffered the application of sewage sludge will be created and maintained by the county. This will be a further deterrent to sludge use here. For the health of our dti zens and the protection of our soil and water resources, RLEP strongly opposes any use of sewage sludge in Rappahannock County and is ready to work vigorously against any effort to make this a place to dispose of dangerous substances, like sewage sludge, hum outside sources. Paul Farmer, President Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection Signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs Seems as if we have some problems in our county with signs, legal, illegal, disregarded, etc. Saturday evening, June 23, about 8 p.m., I was returning home on Route 522, turning right onto Crest Hill Road, and noticed the two signs posted very plainly in front of BB&T Bank. They read: No Parking From Here To Corner. Directly under each sign were parked cars, from the sign to the corner. This comer has always been a prob lem with parking because of the wonderful restaurant at that comer and the one directly across the street. Residents of the general area have complained numerous times about the danger of trying to get from Crest Hill Road to Route 522 because you can’t see around the cars. „ . „... _ What was very curious to me on that day was the fact that I was followed by a white “SUV” type of vehicle, and when I turned into my driveway I noticed on the side it read “Rappahannock County Sheriff.” Maybe the officer in the county car didn’t notice the NO just not a parking from here to corner sign nor the cars parked under it? Or maybe it’s just not a parking violation on Saturday evening? Or maybe it’s just not enforced? Just wondering? Signs, aren’t they a real nuisance around here? Ellen B. Joback Flint Hill Approval undermines scenic Rappahannock The Planning Commission decision to approve the Gregory Williams commercial tree-firewood-mulch business on Ben Venue Road is so wide a departure from what many of us have believed was the county’s commitment to scenic preservation as to dumbfound, stun - and utterly dismay. Ben Venue Road is no ordinary state road. This tiny, 30foot-wide, three-mile secondary state road is one of Rappahannock’s jewels. It is historic. It is open, visible, not hidden in trees. It is pristine. It is drop-dead gorgeous. Drive it. Walk it. Look. Behold. My statement to the Commission and the Board of Supervisors references several issues: 1. The county informed me five to seven years ago that this business was not permitted and that Greg Williams knew this and was looking for a site elsewhere. This message was repeated to me a few years later. 2. The Williams operation grew from a small firewood activity to today’s muscular size and scope in full of view of anyone using the road and from several neighboring properties. No efforts to screen occurred. The county’s allowance of this open defiance of its zoning ordinance for many years is tantamount to approval. 3. What is the definition of an “official complaint”, which can be oral and need not be written? Where is the definition stated? Is the official complainer publicly identified? 4. The decision threatens land values throughout the county. People searching for land protected by strong county ordinances will view this as a deep wound in Rappahannock’s much-heralded ability to curb undesirable development. 5. Landowners making long-term plans about placing their land in conservation easement may put a hold on such planning until the county decides which way it wants to grow - and backs its ordinance with consistent enforcement.

If Dominion’s request for a new 500,000-volt power line and their proposed route are approved by the Virginia State Corporation Commission, hundreds of landowners in Rappahannock, Culpeper, Fauquier and Prince William counties will be seriously, permanently, adversely impacted. With help from RLEP and The Forum Paul Farmer CCC. landowners have formed a hew organization that will fight for them at the SCC. The new organization is known as the Power-line Landowners Alliance. The sole intent of the PLA is to represent the interests of landowners who live or have property along the proposed route of the new power line in four counties. The PLA intends to intervene on their behalf exerting a level of influence at the SCC that no single landowner could expect to muster on his own. In addition to environmental, cultural and historic concerns, we recognize that the direct financial and lifestyle impacts to landowners (both those who live in the direct path of the line and those who have land nearby) will be enormous. No affected landowner should stand by without legal representation in this matter. Few, however, have the financial wherewithal to independently enter the Gray on their own behalf. Counsel for the PLA strongly believes that we have a winnable case to make before the SCC. The PLA also supports the case that Piedmont Environmental Council and others will make that this new transmission line is not needed. But other than the PLA. no organization plans to make the case that the proposed route through Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper and Prince William counties is an extraordinarily bad route for another massive, industrial power line. If the SCC finds that a new transmission line is needed, only the PLA stands in the way of the SCC designating - that the route will come this way. The PLA, RLEP, CCC and an initial group of landowners is ready to battle Dominion where it really counts - with attorneys at the SCC. For weeks we have been working behind the scenes to put this ■strategy in place. It is now time for all those in Rappahannock County and elsewhere who will be most affected to come forward, hear more about our plans, and take the opportunity to shape our future by joining and supporting PLA’s work on their behalf. If you own land along the current Dominion transmission line through Rappahannock County, if you have kind near enough to the power line to see its towers when raised to double their current heights, or if you simply feel strongly enough about this issue to want to consider helping our work against Dominion, we invite you to attend our public meeting in the Flint Hill Fire Hall at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 3. Expect to be informed about the PLA, Dominion’s proposal, the SCC process and how to protect your rights as a landowner. There will be a question-and-answer period. You will also be given the opportunity to discuss this issue off-line, either at the event or privately later. The PLA intends to win this battle.

Legislation must make border security a top priority By Eric Cantor If your village is situated (m the banks of a river and the levee bursts, causing severe damage, would it main* sense to rebuild the town before you fix the breach in the levee? Ask the same of the resuscitated Senate immigration hill Should the legislation become law in its current form, we would fail to address the open borders and unchecked illegal immigration that have become the Achilles heel of our national security. Presently, the bill foils to add enough fencing and security features to establish control over the border. As a result, immigration officials will have to continue to “catch and. release” the tens of thousands of border-cro8sers they apprehend because we lack the detention space and resources to hold them. The bill also does not. address the fact that in most parts of the country, local law enforcement remains woefully under-equipped to help enforce immigration law. Consider this: Three of the six terrorists who plotted to attack New Jersey’s Fort Dix last month were in the country illegally for more than 20 years. Shockingly, the three had compiled an exhaustive list of 75 police charges, but because immigration authorities were not notified of the charges, they made no attempt to deport these terrorists. Police lack direct access to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) database. Without such access, the burden often falls on local authorities to contact the federal bureaucracy regarding the legal status of the person in custody. The process, when undertaken, has caused complaints of delay. But full direct access alone will not solve the problem. Local law enforcement agencies across the country are constrained by tight budgets and limited resources. It’s difficult, for them to focus on detaining illegal immigrants and enforcing immigration law, a task usually left to federal authorities, when they are struggling as it is to meet their more traditional responsibilities. As a result, aliens who have committed crimes are released routinely from jails as soon as they finish serving their sentences — a far more troubling form of catch and release than that which goes on near the border. Local police requests for immigration officials to deport criminal aliens often fall on deaf ears. Congress must explore grant programs and other innovative ways to enhance cooperation between federal and local authorities. We should encourage local entities to participate in voluntary programs like the 287(g) initiative, which enters local and state police into a See CANTOR, Page A14 Tips The Department of Energy recommends that drivers take several steps to save money on gasoline this summer including: • Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration aid braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money. Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.15-$0.98/gallon. • As a rule of thumb, you can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas. Observing the speed limit is also safer. • Idling gets 0 miles per gallon. Cars with larger 'engines typically waste more gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines. • Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas. •When you use overdrive gearing, your car’s engine speed goes down. Finding practical solutions to our energy problems This month, my Senate colleagues and I passed comprehensive energy legislation which I believe will stimulate our domestic economy, strengthen national security by making our nation more energy self reliant, and increase environmental standards. It also included provisions from two research bills that I cosponsored to increase investment in carbon capture and storage technologies, which hold potential for Virginia’s vast coal reserves to be used in an efficient and environmentally-sound manner. As Virginians know all too well, energy costs have soared to an all-time high across the nation. Since Januaiy, motorists are paying, on average, a dollar more at the pump. The increase in gas prices is hurting summer tourism and is negatively affecting other parts of the Virginia economy as well. Kestaurant and grocery store owners across our state are reporting that they have had to increase their food prices just to stay in business. Behind the increase in gasoline prices are a lack in supply and a growth in consumer demand. While oil companies have enjoyed record profits, the industry’s failure to invest in increased refining capacity has resulted in slowed oil production. At a recent Joint Economic Committee hearing, I cited the fact that the five of the nation’s largest oil companies earned $120 billion dollars in profit last year alone.

Before the U.S. went to war with Iraq in 2003, oil was $24 a barrel, while in 2007, prices have soared to $66 a barrel. (Currently, the major oil companies seem to be more concerned with their profit margins and their stockholders portfolios than Virginia and U.S. consumers.) That is why I am working in the U.S. Senate to address this problem. I co-sponsored legislation called the “Energy Security and Oil Company Accountability Act” with Senator Bob Casey (D-Pa.) to recoup some of the skyrocketing corporate profits of the big oil companies and invest those funds in alternative energy sources, and ease the burden of low income Virginians at the pump. It is our responsibility in Congress to create conditions where we do not have to operate at the mercy of international instability. If the big oil companies do not attempt to invest in alternative energy programs or greater refining capabilities, we have an obligation to the American people to begin to push this reform through Congress.

Commission backs Williams Tree Service permit By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer Greg Williams went before the Rappahannock County Hanning Commission on June 20 to apply for a special-exception permit to operate a contractor's yard on his agriculturally zoned lot on Ben Venue Road near Flint Hill. Williams has been running a landscaping, tree service and snow removal operation on the property since 1993. Williams’ attorney Frank Reynolds began by saying the community should be happy to see its young people return to Rappahannock and start businesses. Williams employs 11 people and has secured snow-removal contracts from the Virginia Department of Transportation. “What he’s guilty of is success,” Reynolds said. He then emphasized that Williams has suggested several conditions on Jjis business that would be attached to the permit. A standing-room-only crowd packed into the County Courthouse for the public hearing. Opinions were pretty evenly split on the issue. Seven people stood up to support Williams’ application, while eight spoke against it. Two letters of opposition were also submitted by residents who were unable to attend the meeting. Williams’ supporters emphasized that he has been a good neighbor, keeps his property clean and provides a much BLUEPRINTING Services - Large format printing, scanning & copying BOTH color and black & white - Ultra competitive pricing - Ability to print from almost any format - FREE local pick-up & delivery - Blueprint enlargement & reduction - Same day turnaround (within reason) - Distribution services we ship to your bidding parties via UPS, FedEx or courier - FTP site and Job Hosting - Corporate accounts welcome i i UPS and FedEx shipping, notary full shipping and packaging services on site. 20% OFF t 1 st Blueprinting job or $2.00 OFF any overnight package with this coupon I I A FAMILY FESTIVAL TOM CAT REEDER, M.C.

He added that the county has to allow businesses to operate. “We can’t keep letting this happen,” Atkins said. “We just got to let people have an opportunity to live and work in Rappahannock County or Rappahannock County will die.” Flint Hill resident Alexia Morrison said Williams has one of the neatest lots on Ben Venue Road. She also said she does not encounter his company’s trucks any more often than tankers that fill her neighbors’ swimming pools. Opponents claimed that truck traffic from Williams’ business poses a danger on narrow, winding Ben Venue Road. They also said the site’s parked vehicles and wood and mulch piles are a blight on the scenery of the otherwise agricultural and historic byway. Pat Saltonstall owns Points of View Farm, which overlooks the Williams property. Saltonstall has watched the operation grow over the past several years as it has added vehicles and machinery. “He has hidden nothing about this venture,” she said. Saltonstall said she is considering putting a large portion of her 330-acre farm into conservation easement, but now is wondering if that action would serve its purpose. She asked, “If this Williams eyesore is permitted to remain and grow, why would I continue to pursue such an easement?" Randy Probst has lived across the street from Williams for 25 years. He said Williams may benefit from relocating to a commercial site where he can grow the business without liny tations. Jean Lilian! said the county set a precedent recently when it rejected a contractor’s permit application on Seven Ponds Road in Amissville. Like Williams’ application, one of the main concerns about the Seven Ponds operation was the traffic it produced, she said. Commission’s recommendation Despite the split audience, most members of the Planning Commission approved of Williams’ permit application.. Robert Weinberg, representing the Board of Zomng Appeals, said the tree service is important to the county and compatible with Rappahannock’s agricultural character. Ron Frazier, the County Board of Supervisors’ representative on the commission, pointed out that Williams business grew out of a farming operation. Piedmont District Commissioner Gary Settle, who works for the Virginia State Police, said he was worked car accidents on Ben Venue Road and most of them are the result of speed. He has had no experience with collisions caused by trucks. Stonewall-Hawthorne District Commissioner Tom Tepper said that Williams uses mostly pickup trades to haul firewood and mulch, and that is no different than what a resident or fanner would be allowed to drive on the road and park at the property. Alvin Henry, who represents the Hampton District, painted out that piles of wood and mulch are agricultural commodities and are therefore permitted without a permit in the agricultural zone. Henry also said that comparisons between Williams and B&S Site Development’s failed attempt for a permit on Seven Ponds Road are not appropriate. Williams’ business blends more with the agricultural properties on Ben Venue than the B&S did with the residential neighborhood in Amissville, he said. Commission Chairman Charles Strittmatter represents Wakefield District where Williams business is located. Strittmatter suggested attaching a review process to Williams’ permit to ensure that the operation accommodates neighbors’ concerns. Commissioners agreed that the business’s permit should be • up for review in five years, and recommended the permit for approval by a vote of 6 to 1. Jackson District Commissioner Raymond Brown was the only Planning Commission member to oppose the application. Brown said Williams’ operation has outgrown his lot and he should find a different location for the business. The County Board of Supervisors will consider Williams’ application at its monthly meeting at 7 pun. an Monday. E-mail the reporter at kaUen@timespapers.com Planners revisit auto sales west of Sperryville “No one likes to be secondguessed on anything * Strittmatter said. “My personal feeling is this is an pmharraaamcnt to the Planning Commission that is unwarranted. I think we did our job, we did it to the best of our ability and I think we were correct." Robert Weinberg, who represents the County Board of Zoning Appeals, said he thought the new application was better with the special-use permit requirement. Weinberg was the only commissioner to vote against the Smiths’ original application. Stonewall-Hawthome District Commissioner TVim Tapper agreed. “I think this gives the approval process teeth in the future,” he said. Ron Frazier, representing the Board of Supervisors, said he favored the change. After the planning commission’s May meeting he said he identified some areas of the Highway Commercial Zone that were not appropriate for auto sales. *1 was kind of tarn on this issue,” said Piedmont District Commissioner Gary Settle. “My arm wasn’t twisted by any particular group or person.” Settle added that he had second thoughts about by-right auto sales in the area. It is more appropriate to have an approval process for the property owners that want to sell automobiles, he said. The commissioners recommended approval for the amendment fay a vote of 6 to 0, with Henry ahataining The Board of Supervisors will cnnaider the application at its meeting on July 2.

The measure will allow the activity in the Highway Commercial Zone upon approval of a special-use permit. In May, Willie and Cathem Smith had applied for an' amendment to make auto sales a by-right use in the zone. The planning commission recommended that application for approval by a vote of 6 to 1. The Smiths own property that formerly housed Cooter’s Place. They plan to sell vintage cars from the 1950s to 1970s as well as other types of autos. The matter was scheduled to move on to the County Board of Supervisors’ meeting on June 4, but was derailed after a community meeting on May 29 at the Sperryville Fire Hall. Citizens concerned about auto sales in the tourist-oriented area between the village and Shenandoah National Park wanted the safety measure of a special-permit requirement. That concern led the Smiths to withdraw their original application and reapply with the change. Citizens had a sufficient chance to comment publicly on the amendment at the Planning Commission’s meeting on May 16, said Hampton District Commissioner Alvin Henry. They took it upon themselves to go behind the scenes and twist the supervisors’ arms, the planning commission members’ arms and circumvent this thing,” he said. “We voted on it last month and it was the right way, the proper way” he continued. This is not the way to do government, this is not the way to do things in Rappahannock County.” Commission Chairman Charles Strittmatter, who represents the Wakefield District, also said he was disappointed.

Workforce housing for 15 on its way By Cheryl K. Chumley Times-Democrat Staff Writer This time next year, 15 county employees will be selected to live in lower-priced workforce housing, if Willow Creek subdivision plans progress as hoped. On Thursday, the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors approved a proffer amendment for Willow Creek, formerly known as Green Springs, and sent the housing subdivision »nH its promised 15 units of workforce homes to the next step. “We’re ecstatic,” said Joe Wiltse, a managing member of Angler Opal Associates. “We hope to file a construction plan in July, and then it will take six to nine months to review and approve, so we would be into construction in the fall of2008.” In the meantime, a recently created nonprofit committee — with an Angler representative to serve as chair, according to board documents — will help formulate the criteria for selection into the workforce housing program. Currently, homes are “reserved for Fauquier County sheriffs deputies, public school teachers and any other [county] or school division employees who have been employed for not less than three years,” according to board documents.

Excluding the lot costs, home prices in the adjoining...subdivision started in the $350,000 range.” The supervisors’ approval came on the heels of nearly two years of Angler effort to bring to fruition a housing plan with an affordable component that would satisfy requirements of Fauquier’s governing officials. The original rezoning for the project was approved in October 2005. Planning Commission members this past April, however, continued to express dissatisfaction with the workforce housing component — some expressed doubts about whether the units would be built — and with the original proffer package, considered low by county standards. Since then, applicants and county staff fine-tuned the language in the plan and included backup provisions for workforce housing that could not be filled by qualified applicants. “[They] said they will build 15,” said Rick Carr, director of Community Development, dur mg an afternoon discussion of the housing plan. “The question was, could we find 15 to live there within a year of breaking ground? We said that if they couldn’t find 15 qualified people, the housing development shouldn’t be held up in building.” In that case, Angler would pay the county $76,613 for each unsold home to use for alternate affordable or workforce housing purposes — as grants for the local nonprofit Fauquier Housing, for example. A soft second mortgage combines a conventional loan with a subsidized one so that those with lower incomes might, qualify with less risk to the lender. “But they’re going to build them, no matter what,” Cansaid. The Willow Creek workforce plan, which includes architecture that makes it impossible to distinguish between lowerpriced and market-rate homes, is being looked at as a “start-up model for integrating affordable workforce housing within [the county’s] growing service districts,” according to a staff summary for board members.

SperryviUe condos still cooking By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer Paul Stevenson is continuing to mull over the idea of converting his Sperryville Antique Market building into a condominium development. Stevenson submitted the tentative idea to the County Planning Commission for discussion at the group’s May meeting. Because the proposal was not a formal application, it was unclear whether the development would move forward. Since that meeting, Stevenson has continued to have conversations about the property with County Administrator John McCarthy and Piedmont District Supervisor Eddie Way land. The 1.22-acre lot is located in a General Commercial Zone at Water Street and River Lane in the eastern portion of Sperryville. The 30,000-square-foot building was built as an applepacking shed in the 1940s, but has operated as an antiques store for more than 25 years. A special-exception permit from tiie County Board of Supervisors would be required to convert the structure to condos. Stevenson envisions developing 24 units sized between 900 and 1,200 square feet. “We’re trying to make a decision on things right now” on whether to submit a formal application, Stevenson said Tuesday. He said he has heard both positive and negative comments from county residents about the project. For people concerned about traffic on Water Street, a residential solution is the most favorable option, Stevenson said. A commercial office use for the full 30,000-square-foot building would require 135 Bill to delay power corridors fails in Congress By Paul Smith Rappahannock News Staff Writer US. Rep. Frank Wolf; R10th, called it a fight between “big city and suburban/small town.” The Virginia Congressman was referring to the U.S. House , of Representatives turning down a bill June 20 that would have placed a one-year moratorium on the federal government’s authority to permit the construction of electric power lines without state approval. Wolf and Rep. Maurice D. Hinchey, D-N.Y., proposed the measure, which was defeated 257-174. Rep. Eric Cantor, a Republican who represents the 7th District that includes Rappahannock County, voted against the bill. “The power companies had paid lobbyists there, while we had farmers and environment, groups,” Wolf said. “Power to New York City and the MidAtlantic won out. “However, we did educate a lot of people,” he continued. “If you make a mistake here, you’ve made it for life. You can’t replace a vista or battlefield. Power companies, though, think you can go from point A to point B.” What’s next? “I would hope some senators would be moved to deal with this issue in the U.S. Senate,” Wolf said. “It’ll be an uphill fight.” Hearings set I he State Corporation Commission has scheduled four public hearings concerning Dominion Virginia Power’s proposed 500,000-volt power transmission line from Frederick County to a substation in Loudoun County. The first hearings will be July 26 and 27 at Fauquier High School in Warrenton. The first day will begin at 1:30 p.m. and reconvene at 7 p.m. On July 27, the meeting will start at 9:30 « m Meetings will also be held at Marsteller Middle School on Aug. 9 and 10 in Bristow. Other meetings are set for Aug. 13 and 14 at James Wood High School in Winchester and Aug. 15 and 16 at Front Royal’s North Warren Volunteer Fire Department. The same times will be in effect for all meetings. The SCC plans to meet in Richmond on Jan. 14 at 9 a.m. and will hear public comments at the start of that meeting The meeting will be on the second floor of the Tyler Building, located at 1300 E. Main St. For details, visit www.scc.virgmia.gov/casemfoJitm. The fate of the Sperryville Antique Market is yet to be determined. parking spaces. According to the informal proposal submitted to the County Planning Commission in May, the condo development would require 49 parking spaces. A commercial redevelopment of the property would require a parking area like the one that surrounds Rappahannock National Bank on U.S. 211 near the Town of Washington. Stevenson said. “I would like to keep more of the country nature of the property” he explained. The bottom line, Stevenson indicated, is that he is not going to continue using the Antique Market building as he has been. His antiques and design business is occupying only 12,000 square feet - 40 percent of the building’s total square footage. “For us, it’s a matter of one or the other. We’re going to do something with the property,” Stevenson said. “If the community decides they want to keep it commercial, well redevelop it as a commercial building, and Fll use 5,000 to 7,000 square feet for my business and well lease the rest of it. “We haven’t done that because we’ve been hoping to do the residential project.” E-mail the reporter at kallen@timespapers.com Mid Summer Sale! Starts July 1st Jackets, Purses, Boots Group to examine broadband for rural areas By Kevin Allen Rappahannock Ne#s Staff Writer A new state committee is hoping to develop a strategy that will bring broadband Internet access to every Virginia business. On June 13, Gov. Tim Kaine announced the formation of a Broadband Roundtable to draw a blueprint for his “last mile” initiative. The advisory group will be led by former Gov. Mark Warner and Virginia Secretary of Technology Aneesh Chopra. “Broadband access is a priority for my administration, and we intend to build on the successes of the Warner administration, which worked to install 700 miles of broadband in our rural communities,” Kaine said in a press release. “Today, our challenge is to find innovative ways to connect even more businesses to that network at the most affordable cost possible.” During his term in office, Warner helped create, fund and build open access fiber-optic networks throughout southern Virginia. “The promise of the 21st century lies in the ability to connect to the rest of the world,” Warner said. “We have made tremendous strides in laying the fiber-optic backbone for the commonwealth, but now we must find a (msaaiaKS?

The “last mile” group will work to determine what drives the demand for broadband and provide communities with information about options for broadband technology jn rural areas. New policies and government funding sources may come as a result of the initiative, but that is not necessarily the group’s aim “We’re treading on new ground and we he not sure if funding or legislation will come from it,” Jackson said. “Part of this will be like p guide to broadband technology” she explained. “There could be partnerships, policies and other things that spin off from this. We don’t think it’s just going to be limited to a static document.” The committee will begin its work this summer, with a final report due by July 2008. E-mail the reporter at kallen@timespapers.com Each year Fauquier Hospital presents the Ruth Krusie Excellence in Nursing Award to an outstanding nurse. Ruth Krusie—who worked in the Emergen^ Department until she became ill in 1986— dedicated her life to nursing. She was a mentor, a teacher, and an inspiration to everyone. Receiving this award is the highest honor bestowed upon a member of the Fauquier Hospital nursing staff. 7 love helping patients. That may sound like a clicht coming from someone in health care, but it really holds true for me. I believe in patient care and I love doing it every day.' -Bram Stevens / BRAM STEVENS Bram Stevens has seen a little bit of everything. As a charge nurse and clinical educator for the Emergency Department at Fauquier Hospital, he's exposed to a variety of challenges every day. *1 love working in the ER because it gives me the chance to see the whole continuum of care— from childbirth all the way to geriatrics," he says, "and I love helping the patients and their families. I always give 100 percent to help ease the tension and make the emergency situations better." Bram has been with Fauquier Hospital for 23 years and he considers the hospital a part of his family. 'I grew up here as a nurse," he explains, 'and the people I work with are wonderful We support each other, and by the end of each day, I go home feeling like I've done a great^ob." Bram's colleagues recently awarded him the coveted Ruth Krusie award for his many years of dedication and compassion. But this honor means much more than a little recognition for Bram: he actually knew Ruth Krusie personally and had the privilege of working with her during the early years of his career. 'Ruth embodied nursing and 1 have a lot of respect for her," Bram says. 'I got to know her when she worked in the ER and when I drove her to and from work during snow storms. I also cared for her in the hospital after she became ill She was kind, caring, and compassionate, and always greeted me with a 'Good morning, young man.' She was remarkable, and I'm truly gratefol to receive her award." wwwJfauquierhospital.org • Physician Referral & Community Link: 540.349.0588 referral<S)fauquierhospital.org FAUQUIER HEALTH SYSTEM Purchase Quality Photographs \2 Photos are available matted and framed and make great gifts!

Sports' The boys of summer By Steve Franklin Rappahannock News Staff Writer Since 1925, the American Legion has sponsored youth baseball for two primary reasons: (1) to help player’s develop better baseball skilis; and (2) so kids can learn baseball while having fun. “The more baseball you play, the better you’ll be,” said Post 330 infielder Ben Willoughby. “Summer league ball is a way to have fun and get better at the same time. We want to win, but you’ve also got to enjoy it.” •This summer, Rappahannock-Culpeper American Legion Post 330 coach Alex Baumgardner hopes to provide both to 17 of the areas top ball players. This year, Post 330 is loaded with solid pitchers, timely hitters and speed on the base paths. “We are hoping for at least a .500 season,” Baumgardner said. “We’ve got four solid pitchers, and a great lineup. When you can put an all-state player (Travis Jenkins) in the eight hole, then you know you’ve got some talent. We’ve also got players who can swipe a base or two when we need them.” Jason Jenkins, a pitcher for Christopher Newport University will be Post 330’s ace, with Rappahannock County High School’s Ethan Russell a solid No. 2 pitcher. “I think our pitching will carry us,” Jason Jenkins said. “That’s probably our deepest area.” Though they are not very deep on the bench, the everyday lineup should be above par. Bobby Czekaj is a tremendous leadoff hitter who stole 28 bases during the high school season. He’s followed by Russell, an excellent contact hitter, then the power guys - Willoughby, Dan Deavers and Will Miller. The bottom of the lineup features Jacob Dodson, Jason Jenkins and Travis Jenkins, all of whom would be middle of the lineup guys on most other Legion teams. Defensively, Post 330 doesn’t expect to commit many errors. “We should be a decent defensive team,” Baumgardner said. “We’ve got a lot of guys who can play several different positions and that helps.” With a ball club that looks ample all the way around, the boys from Post 330 could be playing well into August. “We’re going to win quite a few games,” Bobby Czekaj said. “There are some good teams in Legion baseball, but we are talented too.” Post 330 wins opener Rappahannock-Culpeper American Legion Post 330 opened their season on Saturday with a 6-4 victory over Harrisonburg. Post 330 was led by Christopher Newport University freshman Jason Jenkins, who tossed a complete game, allowing four runs on eight hits while striking out nine. save lime & energy T& ri'W VA','1 -.§■ * >•->■ v. •>.>'£.'■* s* § Lawrence J-Finkel, md . «* ' V:.' \ ., v.'v ,\ • .... . • tt, .v-*;'. v.

Chapman goes out on top By Steve Franklin Staff Writer Hunter Chapman’s final roll down Blue Ridge Avenue was bittersweet one. On Saturday, Chapman became the first two-time winner in the five-year history of the Soap Box Derby of Culpeper when he edged out five-year veteran and respected rival Carol Anne Brown to capture the Super Stock title. But the victory comes at a great cost. All-American Soap Box Derby rules prevent a driver from racing in local Soap Box' Derbies once they’ve claimed a championship in that class. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Raymond Thompson Hunter Chapman waits for his turn to tackle the hill 2007 Soap Box Derby of Culpeper Results Since Chapman won the Master’s title in 2005, the Super Stock crown this year, and is too old to race the Stock Division, the two-time champion will be forced to retire at the ripe ol’ age of 14. “It feels great to be the first two win the Soap Box Derby of Culpeper twice,” Chapman said. “But I’m also a little bummed that I can’t race in the local derby anymore. I’ll definitely miss it, but I’ll continue to help out.” Chapman was also saddened because he beat a friend that he’s raced against for the last half-decade in the finals of the Super Stock division. Carol Anne Brown - racing in her final derby because she turns 18 before the 2008 Soap Box Derby of Culpeper - placed second in the Soap Box Derby of Culpeper for the third time in five years. “I gave it my best shot,” Brown said. “It’s a little disappointing to come this close again, but overall I am happy with how I ran.” Afterwards, Chapman expressed his sorrow for Carol Anne. “I felt really bad for Carol Anne,” Chapman said. “This is her last year of racing and she has come so close that I thought about letting her win. Then I thought, heck if anyone else was racing her, they wouldn’t let her win, so I just went for it. But I’m still a little sad for Carol Anne.” Nicole Holloway, the 2006 Stock Division champion, defeated Rebecca Johnson in the consolation finals to earn third place. Nevertheless it’s Chapman who took home the $1000 check, three-foot trophy, and the right to go to Akron, Ohio for the 70th running of the All-American Soap Box Derby on July 21. It will be his second trip to the famed Derby which began in 1934. His last trip to Akron ended a little earlier than he had anticipated with a firstround elimination. But this year, he’s looking to make Soap Box Derby of Culpeper history once again. “No one from Culpeper has ever made it out of the second round in Akron,” Chapman said. “My goal is to be the first.” Cample«2Slsad.r^ just mentis Framing* * rxp>r /JV«7> Sugarboo Photo Box Frames $199 (regular price $250) Tramecrafi ,.— Foi‘Hl,w‘ OtmerfLecal Artist Carl Byrt) available for ammiuum work unacrml mtduv by P- BuitWWy ^ oss 64 Main Street.

Heart of a champion By Steve Franklin Staff Writer Brandon Feagan didn’t have to look far to draw inspiration for claiming the masters division crown. His aspiration to win came from a man sitting in a lawn chair along the Soap Box Derby of Culpeper’s 310foot Blue Ridge Avenue course - his father Charlie. On June 6, Charlie Feagan underwent openheart bypass surgery to fix his ailing heart, He was released from the hospital several days later, but is still re-cooperating from his ordeal. That meant that Saturday, Charlie - who normally serves as Brandon’s crew chief - would be forced into spectator duty. “I wanted to win this one for my dad,” Brandon said. “He has always been there for me, but he couldn’t be my crew chief today, so my cousin Jeremy (Van Pelt) had to help me out.” With his father looking on, Brandon Feagan cruised through the first few rounds before knocking off Erin Brown in the semi-finals to advance to the championship match.

He went to his first soap box derby rally two years ago, and fell head over heels for the sport. Watching the cars race down the hill at 30 miles per hour, he immediately got the itch to drive and wanted to climb behind the wheel. But there was one problem - he wasn’t old enough. He waited. And waited. Envisioning the day that he ‘ would be able to race his own car. When his eighth birthday finally rolled around, Smith got his wish when he convinced his father Eddie to purchase a stock derby car. After a couple of months of working on his new ride, Jason made his soap box debut at the Soap Box Derby of Culpeper and won his first heat in his derby debut before being ousted in the second round. Although he was happy with his performance, his inaugural race made him hungry to win. So Jason and his father spent the summer of 2006 traveling to rallies throughout the state, trying to gain valuable experience. ■*' 1 He earned two seventh place trophies last summer and couldn’t have been any happier. His motivation is to get the biggest trophy he can. wii oaiuiuay, me nine-year old took home the biggest trophy of them all. Smith edged out Sean Brown by a mire tenth-of-a-second to capture the Stock Division crown and earn his first trip to Akron for the 70th running of the All-American Soap Box Derby. In all, he won six races and beat 58 stock drivers en route to the championship. “It’s pretty cool to be the winner,” Smith said. “I actually thought I had lost at first, but then when they called my name I couldn’t believe it. I was so happy.” In the consolation finals, Bret Shurina defeated Zachary Chapman to take third place. While the top four took home trophies, Brown went home with the big one and plans to add another. “Tm going to Akron. And Fm going there to win.” Vi

Amissville duo competes in derby Doug Grover and Joel Bacot each won their first race at last Saturday’s Soap box Derby of Culpeper before falling out in the later rounds. The first to be eliminated was Grover, who lost in the second round of the highly competitive Stock Division that featured 59 drivers. Though he lost, his last trip down the hill was one he won’t soon forget. At the finish line, he clipped a hay bail sending him off the course and through a bundle of other hay bails. He escaped without injury and was all smiles. “It was fun,” Grover said. “The last part was a little scary, but Tm ready for next year. Hopefully I can move up to Super Stock where the cars are bigger and faster.” Bacot, donning the stars and stripes on his Super Stock car, made it to the final 16 before being eliminated. He was happy with his day, "but was hoping to pick up some hardware. “I really wanted to get in the top four,” Bacot said. “Tm still happy with how I did, but Til definitely be back next year to try to win.” Joel Bacot Boys soccer travel team looking for players U-13 Boys Culpeper Travel team looking for players to fill roster.

Feagan from rage A10 the format is different than in the stock and super stock divisions. You lose there, you go home. In the masters, it’s double elimination. So in the consolation semifinals, Brown worked her way back into the championship match by defeating 2006 Super Stock champion Amanda Halsey. In the finals, Brown defeated Feagan in the first- goaround, but because the division is double elimination, the two had to square-off again. This time, it was Feagan who took control. He edged out Brown both times down the track and earned his first Soap Box Derby title after finishing third in the Super Stock division in 2005. “It’s a great feeling,” Feagan said. “All day my plan was to just stick to my line. I didn’t do that in the first match during the finals, but I found the sweet line the last couple of times down the hill ” Afterwards, Feagan said he was glad to win and take home the trophy, but said what was really exciting was claiming the$l,000 check and the trip to Akron, Ohio. “I’m looking forward to my trip to Akron,” Feagan said. “The money is going to be a great help because we have to go out there for a few days. It’s going to be an awesome experience. Hopefully I can go out there and win a couple of rounds.” I Ask ; the Arborist l By JamiaWood I L&A. Cartifiad I Arboriat FIREBUGHT Frretofcght is a very destructive dfeoaso on many species in the nxe (amity, inducing pear, crabappie, cotoneaster, mountain aeh, hawthorn, pyrancantha, spirea and rose. Deperxfng on the plant, cultural practices performed, and spring weather condttions, damage can range from death of one or more branch terminals to severe branch mortality and complete death of the plant The most characteristic and easily observed symptoms are wilting and blackening or browning of the blossoms and leaves on the terminal shoots. The affected plant parts reman attached to the terminal and appear as though scotched by fire. A brown ooze develops at the site of these cankers during moist warm weather. The tfisease is caused by the bacterium Erwinia amytowora The organism overwinters in branch cankers at tie margins of Iving and dead tissue. Wind, rairv-spiash and insects are response (or the initial transport of the bacteria from cankers to open blossoms, the primary infection site. Control of fireblight is dtfficuft and requires a comprehensive program of sanitation, proper cultural practices, and spray applications in order that satisfactory result are attained.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF APPLICATIONS OF TRANS-ALLEGHENY INTERSTATE LINE COMPANY AND VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY D«/A DOMMON VKGMA POWER FOR APPROVAL OF A TRANSMISSION LINE IN FREDERICK, WARREN. FAUQUIER, RAPPAHANNOCK, CULPEPER, PRINCE WILLIAM, AND LOUDOUN COUNTIES. VIRGINIA STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION CASE NO. PUE-2007-00033 CASE NO. PUE-2007-00031 On April 19.2007, Trans-Aflegheny Interstate Line Company (’TrAtLCo') filed with the Virginia State Corporation Commission CVSCC’) its application for approval and certification of a 500 kV transmission line. The VSCC has docketed TrAILCo’s application as Case No. PUE-2007-00033. TrAILCo proposes to construct and operate a segment of a 500 kV transmission fine from the West Virginia-Virginia state fine in Frederick County, Virginia, to a point on Transmission Line #580 owned by Virginia Electric and Power Company, doing business as Dominion Virginia Power ("Dominion Virginia Power"). The proposed line would enter Virginia west of Mountain Fads, Frederick County, and extend for approximately 28.1 mites to an end point at Transmission Line #580. This point on Transmission Line #580 is approximately 300 feet west of the Appalachian Trail boundary in Warren County, Virginia. The proposed route would follow existing right-of-way, which would be widened in some locations to accommodate the proposed and existing facilities. In several locations, TrAILCo has proposed alternative placement of the new line in relation to existing facilities. Modifications to tire Meadow Brook Substation in Frederick County would be made in conjunction with construction of the proposed line. A description of the proposed and alternative routing is printed below. Also on April 19,2007, Dominion Virginia Power filed on its own behalf and on behalf of TrAILCo an application for approval and certification of a 500 kV transmission fine. The VSCC has docketed tie Dominion Virginia PowsrTrAILCo application as Case No. PUE-2007-00031. Dominion Virginia Power and TrAILCo propose to construct and operate a 500 kV transmission line from the point along the Dominion Virginia Power's existing Transmission Una #580 in Warren County to Dominion Virginia Power’s existing Loudoun Substation in Loudoun County. The proposed route from Warren to Loudoun Counties would lie within or parallel to existing Dominion Virginia Power right-of-way extending for approximately 65 mites in Warren, Fauquier, Rappahannock. Culpeper, Prince Wfifiam, and Loudoun Counties. In conjunction with the construction of the line, modifications would be made at the Loudoun Substation. Dominion Virginia Power would construct operate, and maintain the entire fine. TrAILCo would own an undivided interest of 50 percent in approximately 29.7 miles of the proposed line and contribute proportionately to the line’s costs. A description of the proposed and alternative routing is printed below. Dominion Virginia Power and TrAILCo also filed in Case No. PUE-2007-00031 and Case No. PUE-2007-00033 information on an alternate route, which would use Interstate 66 right-of-way and existing tanamtesion fine right-of-way from a point in Warren County to the Loudoun Substation. A description of this alternative routing is printed below. This Virginia segment of transmission line is the continuation of a proposed line that originates in Pennsylvania; continues through West Virginia; and terminates in Virginia. A description of the proposed route for the transmission line in Frederick and Warren Counties fofiows: The Proposed Route - State Line to Meadow Brook Segment The Proposed Route for the state fine to Meadow Brook Segment will enter Virginia in Frederick County, Virginia, at a point approximately 2.6 miles northwest of Mountain Fails, Virginia. From foe stela line, the Proposed Route wifi extend for approximately 12.3 miles to the east and southeast in Frederick County to the existing Meadow Brook Substation, located 2.5 miles southwest of Stephens City, Virginia. The Proposed Route paratieis the eastern 12.3 miles of the existing ML Storm-Meadow Brook 500 kV transmission line. The Proposed Route parallels this existing transmission fine on the north side to a point on Little North Mountain, where the fine crosses tie existing transmission line and parallels this same line on the south side into Meadow Brook Substation. The Proposed Route for the portion of the line to be constructed by TrAILCo from Meadow Brook is 15.8 miles long and foHows existing transmission fine or distribution flne right-of-way for its entire length. From the Meadow Brook Substation, the Proposed Route crosses 1-81 and runs approximately eight miles southeast toward Front Royal, with the majority of its right-of-way shared wtih an existing 138kV line and the Mt StomVMorrisvilte 500kV line (Line 580). The Proposed Route crosses U.S. Highway 522 north of the Riverton Substation. The Proposed Route then follows a distribution line for approximately a half a mile with tie majority of its right-of-way shared with the existing distribution line, crossing the Shenandoah River. It then converges with, and is adjacent to, Transmission Line 580, crosses over I-66 and stays on the south side of 1-66 for approximately eight miles. Alternatives for the State Line to Meadow Brook Segment Alternative Route 1 Alternative Route 1 follows the south side of the existing 500 kV transmission line east from the Virginia state line for 7.1 miles on the south side of the existing tine until reaching Little North Mountain. At Little North Mountain, Alternative Route 1 turns to the southeast and continues to follow the existing 500 kV line on the south side to the Meadow Brook Substation. Unlike, the Proposed Route, Alternative Routs 1 does not cross over the misting 500 kV line at Little North Mountain. Except for a 3,500-foot diversion to avoid residences in the Mountain Falls area, the north edge of the 150-foot wide right-of-way of Alternative Route 1 would abut the souti edge of the existing 200-foot wide right-of-way the entire distance in Virginia. The centerline of Alternative Route 1 is 175 feet south of the centerline of the existing 500 kV line. Alternative Route 2 Similar to Alternative Route 1, Alternative Route 2 follows the north side of the existing 500 kV transmission line from toe Virginia state line. This route enters Virginia on toe north side of the existing tine at a point 2.6 miles northwest of the community of Mountain Falls. The route continues to the east in Virginia for 7.1 miles. After crossing Little North Mountain, Alternative Route 2 would remain on toe north side of toe existing tine the remaining 5.2 mites to the Meadow Brook Substation Alternatives for the Meadow Brook to End Point Segment: The proposed Alternate Route for the segment of the transmission line between the Meadow Brook Substation to the End Point is the 1-66 Route, which uses either existing electric tine corridors or highway corridor for its entire length. This alternative would begin at a point immediately north of where the Proposed Route crosses 1-66 and continue east along 1-66 from this point The precise details of this route would depend on final design for the route, and approval by the Virginia Department of Transportation (‘VDOT’) would be necessary. The position of VDOT on the 1-66 Route is still uncertain.. VDOT would need to grant a special exception to alow toe tine to be butt within its right-of-way Furthermore, detailed engineering would be necessary to determine if the line could be built entirely within the VDOT right-of-way. Alternative Line Seament A - Meadow Brook to End Point Alternative An alternative line segment A begins at a point along the Proposed Route located approximately 3.3 miles from Meadow Brook Substation where it crosses the existing transmission line and folows an independent route paralleling but offset from the existing transmission line varying between 500’ and 2500’ to the south. This alternative fine segment rejoins the Proposed Route immediatoty east of US ttighway 522. This tetemative line segment could be utilized as an alternative to either the proposed route or the alternative 1-66 route. Alternative Line Segment B-Meadow Brook to End Point Alternative An alternative line segment B begins at a point along toe Proposed Route located at Riverton Substation and rather then cross the existing transmission line as does the Proposod Route, it folows it on the east side until it meets 1-66. From this point it leaves the existing transmission line and fotiows the north side of the 1-66 corridor for approximately 5 miles. It then crosses 1-66 and rejoins the Proposed Route new Virginia Route 55. AH cfistances and directions are approximate. The VSCC may consider and approve a route not significantly different from the routes described in this notice without additional notice to the pubtic. A description of the proposed route for the transmission line in Warren, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties fotiows: The Proposed Route is approximately 65 miles long and originates at the intersection of Dominion Virginia Power's existing 500 kV transmission line and the western edge Of the Appalachian Trai property. The route proceeds south oid of Warren County paraHel to the existing 500 kV line and through northwestern Fauquier County crossing Route 635 approximately 650 feet west of the intersection of RL 635 and RL 726. The route continues parallel to the existing 500 kV line through northeastern Rappahannock County crossing Routes 637,647 (crossing Rt. 647 approximately 900 feet east of the intersection of RL 647 and Rt 638), 637,645,643 and 669. The route continues through Culpeper County crossing Routes 613,211,229 (crossing Rt. 229 approximately 1.8 miles south of the intersection of Rt. 229 and RL 211), 802 and 623. The Proposed Route re-enters Fauquier County at toe point where the existing 500 kV line crosses the Rappahannock River and continues to parallei this line crossing Routes 651,660,786 (crossing RL 786 approximately 800 feet northeast of the intersection of RL 786 and RL 658), 657,29, Business 29 and 656 to a point approximately 0.9 miles east of Remington. At this point toe Proposed Route intersects with an existing east/west transmission line corridor occupied by 115 kV and 230 kV tines. The Proposed Route turns eastward aid parallels this fine past Remington Substation and the Remington Combustion Turbine Station crossing Routes 655 and 782. Immediately east of the Combustion Turbine Station toe Proposed Route continues eastward (blowing an existing 115 kV corridor (the #183 Line) crossing Routes 653,17,602,610,607,806,748 (crossing RL 748 approximately 900 foot southeast of the intersection of RL 748 and RL 806), 806 (twice) and 616 where it intersects with an existing north/south transmission line corridor (the #569 Line). At tivs point toe Proposed Route turns north within this existing corridor through eastern Fauquier County crossing Routes 609,611 (crossing RL 611 approximately 4000 feet e^t of the intersection of Rt. 611 and Rt. 806) and 640. The route proceeds through northern Prince William County crossing Routes 606,28,652,215 (crossing RL 215 approximately 500 test east of the intersection of RL 215 and RL 657), 619,674, 234, 781.1-66. 705,29 and 234 then into southern Loudoun County, terminating at Loudoun Substation.

Drivers beware: High fines ahead By Michelle Zimmermann Special to the Rappahannock News Changes to Virginia’s laws on July 1 include several hefty new penalties for aggressive driving. While the state already has some of the toughest laws on the books regionally, drivers could rack up fines into the thousands of dollars for driving under the influence or for reckless speeding. A DUI would bring a $2,250 fine - three $750 installments paid out over three consecutive years, with the first payment due up front upon conviction. A felony driving offense would total $3,000 over three years. Drivers with eight or more points on their records will be fined $100, plus $75 for any point added above and beyond that after July 1. Part of the bill also enacts a “new driver fee” of $100 for drivers who have never held a Virginia license. The fee also applies to residents whose licenses were previously revoked or suspended. Teenage drivers who take a driver safety course will be exempt from the fee. The transportation bill, HB3202, was passed by the General Assembly earlier this year after much debate and heavy revision. Gov. Tim Kaine (D) toured the draft version around the state, seeking input from localities to tweak the bill. The bill could generate up to $300 million annually for transportation projects in Northern Virginia. Funds will be generated by a combination of taxes and fees, to be levied by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority - the first real power the group will wield since its inception in 2002. News from VDOT Final Six-Year Transportation program approved $11 billion program for public transportation, rail and highway projects RICHMOND- The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) recently approved an $11 billion funding program for public transportation, rail and highway projects for the next six fiscal years, beginning July 1. It also approved the first six-year funding program for highway maintenance and operations projects. The final FY2008-2013 Six-Year Improvement Program is $3.1 billion larger than the program approved in 2006, and it is the first to show a sustainable increase in available transportation funding since 1986. Approximately $500 million a year in new revenue and bonds was made available through a compromise transportation funding package developed by Gov. Timothy M. Kaine and the General Assembly this year. The approved program includes $2 billion for public transportation over the next six years, a 41 percent increase: rail receives $322 million, a 68 percent increase; and highway construction receives $8.7 billion, a 28 percent increase. “This new program clearly reflects the Commonwealth Transportation Board’s commitment to citizens’ safety, to improving the existing transportation system and to thinking beyond individual projects,” Secretary of Transportation Pierce Homer said. “It is a \ comprehensive package that takes a new approach to delivering the best surface transportation program for the money available.” Key public transit initiatives supported through the program include: • Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project • Norfolk Light Rail Transit Project • GRTC Richmond Transit Facility • Universal Access Program • Virginia Railway Express rolling stock • Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority rolling stock • Statewide transit rolling stock Key rail initiatives include: • 1-95 and 1-81 rail corridor passenger/freight rail improvements • Heartland Corridor • Suffolk Rail Improvements • Buckingham Branch shortline passenger/freight rail improvements Virginia’s state highway construction program is growing: 206 interstate and primary projects will be under construction during the next six years, compared to 48 planned a year ago. Another 342 secondary and urban projects could be ready for, or under construction within the six years, for a total of 548 projects. “Most of the highway funding is focused on advancing projects and getting them under construction quicker,” Secretary Homer said. “The CTB also gave highest priority to projects that meet goals of improving safety, reconstructing and rehabilitating the highway system, helping freight movements, clearing up bottlenecks, improving highway operations - such as incident management, signs, signals and pavement markings - and for aggressively managing access to Virginia’s roadways. Managing access links directly to our efforts in traffic impact analysis and land use.” Approximately 50 significant efforts to help achieve those goals were included in a presentation made at the CTB workshop prior to the action meeting. The efforts include, but are not limited to projects for Safety and rehabilitating/ reconstructing existing highways - • A regional congestion management plan in the Northern Virginia and Fredericksburg areas to address anticipated congestion related to several mega-projects’ construction • Acceleration and deceleration lanes on 1-81 • Major pavement rehabilitation on 1-66 in Fairfax County • A new Huguenot Bridge in the Richmond area • I-95/Temple Avenue interchange improvements in Colonial Heights, in response to the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) effort • Interchanges at Routes 27/244 and Route 50/Courthouse Street in Arlington • Route 58 Courtland Bypass and the Gilmerton Bridge in Hampton Roads • -Route 15 widening between Farmville and Hampden Sydney • Route 114 bridge in Montgomery County Freight movement - • Truck climbing lanes on 1-81 • 1-64 at Zion Crossroads ' • Rail crossing improvements in Suffolk • Route 60 widening in James City County and Newport News • Moccasin Gap Bypass in southwest Virginia • Hillsville Bypass Removing bottlenecks - • 1-64/264 and Lynnhaven interchanges in Virginia Beach • 1-64 widening in Newport News See VDOT, Page A15 Can you have your cake and eat it too?...

Rappahannock students win national science competition By Charlie Spiering Rappahannock News Staff Writer Austin and Tyler Burdick, twin home-schooled freshmen students from Flint Hill, Va., together with Ethan Gould, a student from Fauquier County, were selected as National Winners in the U.S. Army’s 2006 eCYBERMISSION competition. eCYBERMISSION is a web based science, math and technology competition that allows students in grades six through nine to compete for regional and national awards while working to solve problems in their community. The boys entered the contest as St. John’s Home School, a Warrenton based homeschooling group. The team conducted experiments on deer liver tissue from Rappahannock County to determine their level of mineral deficiencies and developed a mineral supplement to enhance their immune system. Defining deer deficiencies The Burdick brothers began their experiment last fall, after reading about local deer that were suffering from chronic wasting disease and other illnesses. Gould said that it was important to be aware of local animal health problems, even in wild animals. “If the deer have these diseases, they can poten Photo by David Nations Photography TALENTED TRIO: Austin Burdick (left), Ethan Gould (center) and Tyler Burdick (right) from Saint John’s Home School present their eCYBERMISSION project to spectators at the national competition in Washington, D.C. tially transmit them to local domestic animals,” he said. “We knew that domestic animals such as goats and sheep and cattle in our county require a mineral supplement to maintain a healthy immune system,” noted Tyler Burdick adding, “then we thought that maybe the wild animals needed something too.” The team decided to focus their experiment on the health of the local deer population. During last fall’s hunting season, the Burdick brothers “harvested” deer from their farm, saving several liver samples from each animal. Area friends of the family that hunted the land, also donated deer livers for the boys experiment. The science team sent the samples to the Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Laboratory System. Those results proved one of the team’s theories: the deer had mineral deficiencies. The boys also tested the soil in the area, to see if the mineral deficiency was a result of the soil. “We found that there was not a deficiency in the soil which was one of our theories,” said Austin Burdick.

Over 3,000 teams nationwide competed in this years program including 265 from Virginia amount of calcium in the deer’s livers. “After researching, we discovered that too much calcium can affect the utilization of other minerals,” said Tyler Burdick. Developing a solution Together the boys developed a mineral supplement, which included vitamins, copper sulfate, selenium, and magnesium oxide. They then mixed the supplement with sweet com and mixing salt, to make it attractive to deer. After receiving permission from Jason Culbertson, the local game warden, the team went into the woods, placing the supplement within the deer’s natural habitat. “The game warden said it was fine as long as we weren’t baiting the deer during hunting season,” said Austin Burdick. Now the team waits for hunting season this fall, which will give them a chance to complete their experiment. As the twins “harvest” more deer from their property, they will send additional liver samples to the lab to see whether or not their supplement affected the deer population. “Theoretically all the deer in the area will have eaten the supplement and it might demonstrate a change,” said Gould. “It will be interesting to see the results.” Presenting their research The boys traveled to Washington D.C. for the eCYBERMISSION finals, and spent time touring the Pentagon and visiting some of the national museums. During their trip, they joined the contestants at a dinner |mS several high ranking milyy . scientists and officials. , ■ The team had to present their project to notable scientists from around the nation wl& arrived to judge each prqjflft “They asked some pretty tough questions,” said* Gould after the contest. “I think they were trying to see how well weknew the material and .whether the. project was a product of mfif own research.” ii The boys won first place ini the 9th Grade competition fo# their project, earning a total dj’ $24,000 worth of sayings bonds for winning the national ctynpe* tdtion. : *2*": “We are extremely proud ct the Bioquadrant team,” said Dr Michael Doyle, the U.S. Army program manager. “The Army strives to increase the number of students pursuing science, math and technology careers nationwide to ensure we remain globally competitive.” The boys wished to thank area experts for giving them advise on their research, including Dr. C.

After the Invocation given by the Rev. Leah DeLong, Pastor of Flint Hill United Methodist Church, the troop and guests enjoyed a slide show of scouting experiences narrated by Matthew and his fellow Scouts. me snow was iuu oi reminders of the many outings, public service projects, Scout meetings, and Courts of Honor Matt has led, and participated in, during his seven years as a Boy Scout. A photo of Matt as a young Bear Cub Scout served to remind the gathered group of the long term commitment necessary on the trail to Eagle Scout rank. Other members of the troop reflected on the lessons learned, and how much fun was had in the years of scouting they enjoyed with Matt. Indeed a common element in both the slide show and following reflection was Matt’s cheerful, and infectious, smile, always used to good purpose, and nearly always inducing one in return. The award was pinned on Matthew’s uniform by the troop’s scoutmasters. In a brief presentation, Matthews recognized the essential and loving role played by his parents by awarding them the Mother’s Pin and Father’s Tie Tack.

Troop 36 Life-to-Eagle Counselor Capt. Darrow Kirkpatrick, together with the Eagle Scouts present, issued the Eagle Charge and Oath in which Matthew promised to continue his life of service to others and to uphold the ideals of Scouting and those of an Eagle Scout. Matthew in turn gave a speech thanking his parents, his church, and all the Scouts and adults who over his dozen years of Scouting helped him in reaching Eagle rank. After a closing in prayer and song, food and refreshments were enjoyed by the approximately 50 Scouts and guests, who lingered to talk, reminisce and share in fellowship.

The situation on the borders calls for similar attention. To show they were serious about shoring up the border, proponents of the Senate bill incorporated a set of “triggers,” or concrete steps that ostensibly would increase border security. Unless the president could certify that the triggers had been met, he could not move forward with the bill’s visa-granting provisions. Triggers are necessary to restore the publics confidence in the government’s willingness and ability to enforce immigration law. But the triggers in the Senate bill set the bar too low. Since the triggers are weak, how can we guarantee that their implementation will restrict the flow of immigrants into the country? Three hundred-seventy miles of fencing will still leave most of the border unguarded, and it’s unlikely that the addition of 200 miles of vehicle barriers and four unmanned aerial vehicles — two other triggers — would make up for the difference. The bill’s flaws led the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office this month to estimate that the legislation would reduce the rate of illegal immigration by only 25 percent. The United States is and will always remain a deeply pro-immigrant country, but one that welcomes legal immigrants who respect our laws. The American people deserve to know that the border is secure and their government is determining who enters the country. Only then can we break the current impasse in Washington and address the other more controversial issues in the Senate bill. Enc Cantor represents Virginia’s 7th District in the US. House.

Several other local horse publications were also honored at the annual event, which attracted more than 200 of the nation’s top equestrian journalists representing nearly 50 weekly, monthly and bi-monthly horse publications ranging from the Times-Democrat’s weekly Horse and Field Sports pages to the thick color glossy monthly American Quarter Horse Journal and weekly full-color Blood-Horse.

With complicated grief, the usual feelings of disbelief, loss, and anguish do not go away and. eventually, affect every pan of a person's life. Left untreated, the condition can lead to depression, suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, and even heart disease. Unlike many disorders following bereavement, including depression, it tends to persist for years and can become a chronic distressed state. It is estimated that ten to fifteen percent of the surviving relatives of people who die naturally experience complicated grief. Those who lose someone on whom they were emotionally dependent are at greatest risk. Fortunately, there is effective treatment.

Taste of Rappahannock fete celebrates 10 years Headwaters promotes educational excellence for all students of Rappahannock County By Laura Overstreet Special to The Rappahannock News It’s not too early. Go ahead and mark your calendar for Headwaters’ 10th Anniversary Taste of Rappahannock on the evening of Saturday, September 8, at the Belle Meade Schoolhouse in Sperryville. What better way to celebrate Headwaters’ 10th anniversary as one of the most active community organizations in Rappahannock County! Headwaters’ mission is to foster educational excellence to benefit students of our county. Net proceeds hum The Taste’ wiU help to support Headwaters programs such as the Starfish Mentoring Program, Farm-to-Table, Summer Enrichment Workshops for children, Next Step College & Career Access Programs and others. Cole Johnson, Headwaters Executive Director, promises an exciting evening for everyone, featuring the finest foods from Rappahannock’s restaurants and farms and a sampling of award-winning wines from the county’s fine wineries. “A silent auction has been added to this year’s program and we’ve moved our traditional live auction to later in the program,” Johnson said. “Having the live auction later in the evening will allow greater opportunity for mingling during the cocktail and social hour.” Taste of Rappahannock CoChairs Cheri Woodard and Terri Lehman and their hard working committee are busy planning the evening, which is made possible through generous sponsorships and donations from organizations and individuals within the county and surrounding communities. Last year, more than $30,000 was raised through sponsorships alone. Woodard and Lehman and their committee hope to top last year’s generous contributions in honor of Headwaters 10th anniversary year. Auction Committee Chair Denise Chandler and her committee have been collaborating on one-of-a-kind prizes and experiences. Steven Kenny, one of Rappahannock’s most noted fine artists, will donate an original work of art painted especially for the auction. A five-day vacation package, “Splendors of Travel," should also receive active bidding during the live auction, as will a “Luscious Landscape Package," which includes trees, flowers, a fountain, and design services. A traditionally favorite “Dinner with...Evening," which always brings competitive bidding, will also return. The newly-added, silent auction offers the opportunity for guests to bid on other creative items such as a spa package, original artwork, and many more tempting prizes to be bid on throughout the evening. Invitations for The Taste of Rappahannock will be mailed from the Headwaters mailing list the first week in August. This event traditionally sells out quickly and tickets may be reserved ahead of time. For more information on getting involved or to be added to the mailing list to receive an invitation, contact Cole Johnson at 675-1819 or via email at info@headwatersfdn. org Photo by Richard Lykes CO-CHAIRS: Cheri Woodard (left) and Terri Lehman (right) will serve as co-chairs of this year’s Taste of Rappahannock which will be celebrating a 10 year anniversary. Culinary Arts teacher Mary Arthur is in the center and is often at the center of many of the culinary treats offered on this festive evening.

It is available through Jim Garmon’s Blackwater Publications in Flint Hill. His second book The Resting Rock, Ghosts, Memories and Folk Tales , can be obtained directly from Mr. Russell at 892 Woodward Road, Sperryville, Virginia 22740.

Her recent commis sion of the gorgeous quilt mural that you can now see on the side of that vintage "70s truck at Beach Spring Farms has led her to learn a great deal about quilts and has also satisfied her desire to make one. While Davette was painting the vibrant floral mural on the side of Rae’s on Main Street, Phyllis Swindler took one look at Davette at work and decided she must have a quilt mural at Beach Spring Farms. From that inspiring moment, Sperryville now boasts two of Davette’s unforgettable and colorful murals. To see the quilts, drive to Hearthstone School, turn around and come back toward Sperryville. Those quilts will entice you to stop at one of Sperryville’s favorite retail stores. Davette first came to Sperryville in 1976 to paint a house and moved here in 1980, bringing with her experience as a sign painter, calligrapher and artist. She immersed herself in art in Rappahannock and is now an accomplished artist whose work is represented in the Caulfield Gallery in Little Washington and at Berkeley Gallery on Main Street in Warrenton. In 2001 Davette was a long term substitute art teacher at Rappahannock High School. That experience, in which she worked with children and could share what she had spent her life learning, has led her into a new path. Davette is now enrolled at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg and will be there two years to complete her degree to become an art teacher. This summer Davette will be teaching painting at a Headwaters workshop, with emphasis on water color and acrylics. She is finishing up current projects and still has time for a few more. If you need calligraphy, a sign painted, or want to explore her “calligrafitti”, call Davette at 987-8917. Hurry, fall semester fast approaches and Davette is off on an exciting new chapter in her life. f Country Living in Rappahannock County ^ FISHHAWK PASS — Spectacular home and outstanding views in Flint Hill.

Come to the carnival in Amissville If you’re picking up the paper on June 30, there’s still time to get over to the Amissville Carnival! But you better hurry! Today is the last day for this annual extravaganza! Go to the Amissville Fire Hall and grab a hot dog, go for a ride or two and help support your local fire and rescue. How often can you have this much fun this close to home while supporting a good cause? This also seems like a good time to remind you that we’re entering the fair/parade/camival time of year! I’ve never been to a fair I didn’t love. And I’ll definitely be heading down to the Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison Agricultural Show that begins July 5 just south of Culpeper. You’ll see a lot of your neighbors there exhibiting their animals, baking, crafts and other projects. It’s a good reminder of how important farming is to our area, our lifestyle here and to feeding us all. Speaking of having fun close to home, this last week end saw the first Pickin’ Party at Hackley’s General Store here in Amissville. It was an absolutely perfect evening. There were nine musicians who turned up to sing and play a combination of bluegrass, country and gospel music. The musicians were a mix of local talent and some from as far away as Page County. The audience was large and appreciative. There were around 60 people who turned out for the free entertainment. And it was a diverse group including the very young and the very old and everyone in between. There were a lot of songs where the audience was encouraged to sing along and some of us sang along even when we didn’t have an invitation! Besides the music, one of the featured attractions at the pickin’ parties is the ice cream at Hackleys. The portions are generous and the ice cream is delicious. I saw one young man with the most colorful cup of ice cream I’ve ever seen in my life. If Amissvi lle Julie Emery 937-2315 Juliet JulieEmery.com you’re curious about this concoction go check out the “Superman” ice cream flavor at Hackleys. All in all, it was a great evening of music, food and socializing. It also raised over $60 for Rappahannock County 4-H with a 50/50 raffle. If you missed this one you can grab your lawn chairs and try again next month. Watch the sign in front of Hackleys for the July date. And if I get word in time you’ll definitely get advanced notice here. I’m just back from vacation, which is why there was no column last week. Vacations are great and seeing family is wonderful. But having just driven half way across the country and back it’d be hard to find a prettier place than the one we live in here in Rappahannock. It’s great to be back home and I’m looking forward to hearing all the local Amissville news now that I’m back! Call or e-mail so I can get it in this column. Fireworks are back! This is a special July as thanks to the efforts of Richie Burke, Mike Leake, Gary Settle, Eddie Wayland and a cast of others, celebrating our nation’s birthday will be done in style with dazzling fireworks. Everyone’s invited for the return of fireworks to Rappahannock County at the Thornton Hills Hounds Race Course located south of Sperryville on Rt. 522. There will be food, games, music and displays' until the fireworks start at dark between 9-9:30 p.m. General Parking will be $10 ; tailgate parking $20 per car. For more information give Richie Burke a call at 987-8570 or Gary Settle, at 987-9333. One of my traditions on July 4th is to throw a barbecue. I like to get in the spirit by baking a spirited Flag cake decorated with stars and stripes. The staff of the Rappahannock News would like to wish everyone a happy and safe July 4.
