Council wants cars to slow down By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Stall Writer Speeding motorists have long been a problem in the Town of Washington. The speed limit on the town’s roads is 25 miles per hour, but that rule is often broken, especially by drivers passing through Washington on Fodderstack Road and Main Street. The ongoing safety issue led to a discussion at the Town Council’s meeting on July 11 about how to curb speeding in Washington. Town Planning Commission Chairman Gary Schwartz raised the issue during the public forum portion of the dj£eting. “It’s a serious -issue,” Council Member Claudia Mitchell agreed. Mitchell said that with three people running for county sheriff in this November’s election, it is a good time to make the next sheriff aware of the problem before he or she takes office. Schwartz asked town leaders to request that the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office put a sign that measures and displays drivers’ speeds on Main Street to get drivers to slow down. Maj. Chris Williams said Tuesday that the sheriff’s office purchased one of the machines from Culpeper County, but has been waiting several weeks for Culpeper authorities to sign the title so it can be properly registered for Rappahannock’s use. When the machine is available, Williams said, Rappahannock residents can request that it be placed in a certain location. He said the sheriff’s office will also be setting it up ip several areas of the county. Williams said the machines are helpful, but it’s questionable to what extent. “It certainly doesn’t hurt, but I don’t know how effective it is,” he said. “It would certainly make [drivers] aware of their speed if they weren’t aware.” Williams said the sheriff’s office has been stepping up speed-limit enforcement recently and has issued several tickets in the Washington area. Michelle Schwartz, secretary for See DRIVERS, Page A2 Math SOLs improve By Charlie Spiering Rappahannock News Staff Writer Preliminary Virginia SOL (Standards of Learning) scores showed moderate gains in middle school math but still demonstrated a need for additional improvement. RCPS Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell shared the preliminary results last Wednesday. Last year, school officials were stunned as their test scores came back shockingly low, as it was the first year testing grades six and seven for math. Last year only 17 percent of sixth-graders passed the SOL exam. Seventh-graders were even worse last year— six percent passed. This year, 66 percent of sixth Graders passed their SOL math exams, while only 46 percent of seventh-graders passed. “We still have a ways to go with both of those grade levels, but we feel that those are pretty outstanding gains in the course of one year.” said Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources and instruction Becky Greer, who delivered the SOL report. Last year many other school divisions across the state were surprised at the abnormally low scores, and questioned the new SOL math tests for grades six and seven. State Virginia State Superintendent Billy Cannaday, stood behind the tests. The State Department of Education, stated last year that the new tests were focused on preparing sixth and seventh graders for upper level math. In spite of the low scores, the elementary school was accredited due to a rolling three-year average of the scores. Chappell stated during last Wednesday’s meeting that accordggn1."! :;..iM1.; j ing to the unofficial scores the school would probably be re-accredited this year. Double testing Part of the reason the middle school math scores went up dramatically this year was the result of double testing. Double testing is when a sixth or seventh grader who has advanced into an algebra class takes the regular math SOL test as well, as an algebra SOL test. “If you look at the impact that double testing had on grades six and seven, you can see that it was definitely a very wise move.” said Dr. Greer. Last year, Rappahannock schools did not double test students because of a state recommendation. Official state results of the SOLs will be released later this year. •s; ms «■«.. ■»... i < '4,' ■mi^y ■&-::■4ft „ „ , ‘6-0 W-,,V '7 V,'V*' V 'V- ^ ,.yi t^SfelEfcV g.s “" „ #•** , News Staff Photos/Kevin Men ffv-y:' vwv . . ..

' .;-vi:sr m Driver fees stir backlash By Michelle Zimmermann Rappahannock News Staff Writer Tens of thousands of Virginians have already signed their names to an online petition started last week to protest steep new fines on drivers, and lawmakers said changes may be craning as a result. Bryan Ault, a software tester who lives in the Alexandria area of Fairfax County, started the petition on July 6 in response to what he calls “egregious” fines levied against drivers for serious offenses. Those fines went into effect July 1, as a result of the state’s new transportation bill passed by the General Assembly this year. He said tie aoesnt necessarily want to see the entire provision of the bill repealed, but wants to see the punishment better fit the crime. Fines range from the hundreds to the thousands of dollars. “Lesser* misdemeanor offenses - think driving without a license - might bring a $900 fine. But serious infractions, which include DUI and reckless driving, could bring penalties in excess of $3,000. “That is beyond most people’s ability to pay,” Ault said. His petition had broken the 30,000 mark by the end of its first See FEES, Page A3 03700 " 23050 2 Rappahannock News P.O.

The Rappahannock County School Board voted last month to ban members of the public from smoking on school property, effective on July 1. The new law was adopted in addition to the School’s current policy prohibiting use of tobacco on premises by students and staff during the school day and for school events after school. RCHS Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell noted that each principal was responsible for posting signs to inform people of the new law. “Our sole motivation in making this change is to eliminate second hand smoke from school facilities after school hours during school events.” said Chappell, “By doing this we feel that we will help to protect students and non-smoking members of the public from the health threat posed by secondhand smoke.” Hippie Moves up The school board also voted in last weeks meeting to appoint RCES Assistant Principal Andrew Hippie as Assistant Principal at the High School. Hippie first came to the Rappahannock Public Schools last year from Pennsylvania. Hippie served as a director of tw o technical centers in Pennsylvania and has taught Agriculture in both middle school and high school. The school board is now considering a candidate to replace Hippie as assistant principal of the elementary school.

County and Town Meetings and Notices The Town of Washington Planning Commission meeting scheduled for Monday, July 23, has been canceled. On Wednesday, July 25, the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the Courthouse on Gay Street. Agenda: New Business -SU#07-06-04 Liong/Harris Professional Office -SU07-06-05 Smith Motor Vehicles Sales, Repair and/or Service Police Briefs Viewtown scams A woman from Viewtown Road called the sheriff’s office on Judy 7 to report a possible scam. According to the Sheriff s Office, the woman reported that a caller claiming to be the IRS said that she had been selected for $2,000 tax refund and asked her to supply her checking account number. The woman said that she gave them a fake number and hung up. RCSO Sheriff Larry Sherertz praised the woman for not falling victim to the scam. “We remind people once again not to give any personal information over the phone,” he said, “Your credit card company or your bank will not ask for this type of information over the phone, but scammers will.” Another Woman from Viewtown road called to report on July 6 that a credit card company called her and said that she was overdue for paying her bill. The woman said that she thought this odd since she never had a credit card and had never been sent a bill. According to the Sheriffs office, preliminary investigations revealed that her daughter in law had opened an r account m her name. Domestic Assault Gary Lynn Dawson, 34, of Sperryville was arrested with Domestic Assault and Battery after an incident that occurred on Main Street in Sperryville. According to the Sheriff’s office, Dawson arrived home and saw two men talking to his wife. As he moved to confront one of the men, his wife stood in between them, whereupon Dawson pushed her out of the way. Later his wife reported the incident and obtained a warrant from the magistrate. RCSO Deputy Frank Coffey investigated the incident that occurred on July 9. Drunken Argument Thomas R. Berry, 36, was arrested on July 14 by a RCSO deputy for being Drunk in Public. According to the Sheriff’s office, Berry’s mother called the Sheriff’s Office to report that he was arguing with his girlfriend. The incident occurred on Richmond Road. i Correction In the July 12 edition of the Rappahannock News, an article incorrectly stated that Dr. Stella Liong had moved out of her current location in Flint Hill. Liong is still seeing patients in her current Flint Hill location as she awaits a special-use permit for a new location. The Rappahannock News regrets this error. r Daryl* SingMwry .

Virginia 22747 Dominion announces energy conservation Dominion Virginia Power is expanding programs that help customers use energy more efficiently, better understand their energy-consumption patterns and help the environment by increasing the use of renewable energy sources. The company has formed an energy-conservation group to encourage a renewed customer interest in energy efficiency. The group will explore new technologies and techniques for residential and business customers to reduce their impact on the environ ment and help them reduce their demand for electricity. “Virginia’s need for electricity is burgeoning,” said Thomas F. Farrell II, Dominion’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. “The projected additional demand for power in Virginia in the next 10 years is 4,000 megawatts, or the equivalent electricity to power 1 million new homes. “The only way to meet that demand effectively is through a combination of energy conservation, efficiency and peakload management along with a systematic program to add new generation facilities,” Farrell said. “This approach will provide our customers with a balanced and flexible portfolio of reliable, cost-effective energy.” As part of adding more power sources, Dominion plans to increase the use of renewable generation with the goal of having 12 percent of its electricity come from those sources by 2022. That would match the target included in the electric utility re-regulation legislation adopted earlier this year by the General Assembly. Dominion already has expanded its renewable portfolio in a partnership with Royal Dutch Shell to build a 164-megawatt wind generation facility in West Virginia, which is enough power to supply electricity for about 40,000 residential customers. With some 5.3 million retail customers in nine states, Dominion is one of the nation’s largest energy producers, and company officials say they will continue to evaluate additional cost-effective, renewable energy sources. Drivers From Page A1 the town’s Architectural Review Board, said increased police presence on Main Street may also help drivers be more mindful of their speed. She noted that deputies often use Mount Salem Avenue to get to the sheriffs office from U.S. 211, and that leaves Main Street largely unpatrolled. “We’ve had several guests who are in law enforcement and they’re surprised we live a block from a sheriff’s office, because they see no police officers” she said. The Schwartzes own the Heritage House Bed and Breakfast on Main Street in Washington. Williams said he personally uses multiple entrances into town, and has seen other deputies do the same unless they have to get to the sheriff5s office quickly for some reason. Williams said it’s important for citizens who see a problem area to call the sher iff’s office and report it. Recently, the office has not had any official complaints about speeding in Washington. “We can’t help them if we don’t know,” Williams said. He added that the sheriff's office will place personnel at certain locations during a targeted portion of the day if speeding is a problem at one specific time. “We can’t be everywhere at all times, [but] we will assign directed patrol during certain times,” Williams said. Archaeological survey The council also accepted a proposal from Cultural Resources Inc. to perform an archaeological survey of the site near Avon Hall where the town’s new wastewater treatment plant is proposed to be built. The procedure is required by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. The survey will seek to identify any significant historic or prehistoric artifacts on the four-acre site. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Kevin Allen STANDING IDLE: The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office purchased a machine that measures and displays drivers’ speeds, but it is not being used. “There might be archaeological resources that no one knows about,” said CRI investigator Dane Magoon. “Hopefully, nothing is there - that would be the quickest end to the process.” The survey is a rudimentary procedure in which investigators will dig one-square-foot holes every 50 feet. A more indepth survey would be required if a large number of artifacts is found. “It has to have a lot going for it to go to the next level of investigation^” Magoon told the council.

Familiar faces start new business rj***** By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer Some familiar faces are returning to Main Street in Sperryville. In early July, Realtors Martin and Cheri Woodard opened a new real estate office m the Thornton River House. The couple left the Frank Hardy Inc. Realtors office in the Town of Washington to pursue the venture. The new office is associated with the Roy Wheeler Realty Co., which is based in Charlotteseville. In many ways, the move brings the longtime Rappahannock County residents full circle. The Thornton River House, which the Woodards own and includes other office tenants, was Chen’s first real estate deal when she entered the industry in 2002. The historic building was in a sorry state when the couple purchased it, but it has been fully restored. "Since we renovated it, we haven’t been in it much, so we’re enjoying being here,” ,^'Chafi said. Roy Wheeler was also the first realty company Cheri worked for when she began her real estate career five years ago. She spent the past four years in the Frank Hardy office. For several years, Wheeler had an office in Flint Hill, but it closed a couple years ago. The company wanted to regain a presence in Rappahannock and the Woodards were a perfect fit. Martin and Cheri had only good things to say about their experience with Frank Hardy. The split was amicable, they said, and there are no hard feelings. “Our move was simply another opportunity for us to run our own show,” Cheri said. Friends in the community got Cheri interested in real w HI Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Kevin Allen OPEN ON MAIN: Martin and Cheri Woodard have opened a new realty office on Main Street in Sperryville. estate years ago. Real estate in Rappahannock is like a parlor game, she said. People follow it even if they don’t have ''money involved. Martin joined the Frank Hardy office in 2004, adding his talents as a painter and graphic designer to the company’s advertising and marketing efforts. The Woodards don’t expect to lose any clients because of the move to a different realty company. Martin estimated that about 80 percent of their business comes from individual referrals or repeat clients. “I think it’s because we’ve been in the community for so many years,” Cheri said. “You just get to know a lot of people through the years.” Before getting into real estate, the Woodards started several successful businesses in the county from the time they arrived in Rappahannock in the early 1970s. They also met each other in the county and recently celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. “For so many years we had businesses in Sperryville, so we’re happy to be back on Main Street,” Cheri said. Martin started masonry and contracting businesses in the 1970s. In 1977, Cheri founded Faith Mountain Company, which grew from an herb and antique store in Sperryville into the nation’s largest catalog marketer of country-themed products. After selling Faith Mountain in 1999, the Woodards realized a dream when they opened Long View Gallery. They sold the Main Street gallery to Andrew Hailey and Suzanne Zylonis in 2005.

Several other electronic petitions protesting the fines are also currently circulating through e-mail inboxes. Del. Tbm Rust (R-Hemdon), one of the original authors of the bill that ended up being rolled into the comprehensive “omnibus” bill that passed earlier this year, said he was surprised at the sudden public protest He said that a bill with abuser fee provisions has passed the House of Delegates for three consecutive years. Tve been speaking of this for a good solid two years, andgot lit tie reaction other than positive Rust said. “I do think there’s an awful lot of misinformation out there about it, and some are attempting to use it for raw politics, which is unfortunate.” Rust was also involved in a July 13 conference call with other lawmakers, discussing what might be done about the abuser fee provisions of the bill. While a special legislative session to address the situation is unlikely, Rust said it was probable that the issue will be revisited in the 2008 General Assembly session. Changes may include eliminating stiff punishments for lesser driving offenses. Rust added that lawyers may also tinker with the element of the bill that restricts the penalties only to Virginians, exploring ways of making those fines apply to outof-state drivers as well. Bob Chase, president of the Northern Virginia Transportation Alliance, said it makes perfect sense to penalize drivers who tie up the roads with accidents and other infractions. Tm not sure the principle of charging people more who are excessively abusive of traffic laws is wrong,” Chase said. As for Ault and his petition, he said that, ultimately, his intent is to send it to members of the General Assembly. “It just shows how strongly people feel about this here in Virginia,” he said.

As county residents go about their daily chores, they pass monuments to men that no person living today ever met They drive routes traveled by horse-drawn carriages hundreds of years ago, and by Native Americans from the Manahoac and Iroqouis tribes before them. In some cases, they live in houses older than the United States itself. The past week in Rappahannock provided a few good reminders of the county’s rich history as well as stories that may have been forgotten long ago. Photo by Paul R. Farmer Bob Lander, left, Jim Gannon and stand next to the Confederate Civil War Memorial as it is restored in the Town of Washington. j-uisi wees, me Confederate Civil War Memorial next to the County Administration Building was surrounded by scaffolding for the first deep cleaning it’s had in some 60 years. Watching employees from Conservation Solutions Inc. delicately restore the monument’s marble and sandstone drives home the fact that history does not preserve itself. Also approved last week was an archaeological survey for the 4-acre lot where Tbwn of Washington leaders plan to build a wastewater treatment plant. Such surveys are a matter of course in historic areas of Virginia, but it makes one think about what clues to Rappahannock’s past remain buried in the county’s undeveloped expanses. And, last but not least, a group of go-getters used their own time and muscle on Saturday to drag some garbage out of the Rappahannock River. Terri Diley, her children and some friends received several kudos on the county’s community e-mail listserv, Rappnet, for taking it upon themselves to pull several old tires, chairs, beer bottles, barbed wire and other waste out of the historic river that gave the county its name. As is often the case with projects in a small community, local citizens were the sparkplugs behind the Civil War Memorial and trash-removal projects. Jim Gannon and Bob Lander initiated the Courthouse Grounds Improvement Project that includes the memorial’s restoration. The men are members of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and former participants in the now-dissolved local chapter of the Civil War Roundtable. Both organizations, which are funded by citizens’ donations, contributed money to the project. The Rappahannock River trash removal began as a simple observation by locals who didn’t like seeing garbage in what is designated as one of Virginia’s “Scenic Rivers.” Rather than just complaining about it, they did something to make the situation better. Rappahannock would not be the unique and beautiful place it is without a firm appreciation and dedication to history and the environment. The county is blessed with people who “walk the walk” in addition to “talking the talk.” As Rappahannock moves forward, hopefully “restoration” and preservation” will continue to be common words in the county’s vernacular.

Box 59, Washington, \Ja. 22747 EMAIL: ashernicHi@timespapers.com Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Kevin Allen Several environmental groups are working to prevent Dominion Virginia Power from building more power-line towers like this one near South Poes Road. Letters Speak up at power-line public hearings Next week, the State Corporation Commission will begin a series of public hearings at four different locations to gather public comments on Dominion Virginia Power’s proposed construction of a 500-kilovolt electric transmission line through Frederick, Warren, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Fauquier, Prince William and Loudoun counties, mostly along an existing power line. The proposed towers would stand up to 165 feet tall and require a 50- to 150foot-wide right-of-way, in * addition to the existing one. The adverse impact would be enormous on the many landowners directly affected through lost use, lost value and lost enjoyment of their properties. But those of us who live near this proposed monstrosity will also be damaged aesthetically and economically by the impairment of our majestic, rural viewshed. And last but not least, global warming, ground-level ozone pollution and acid rain would be exacerbated through the operation of several additional coal-fired power plants in the Ohio River Valley. Two of the four publichearing sites will be in Rappahannock County’s vicinity in Warrenton and Front Royal. Please attend at least one of these hearings and speak up about the impact the proposed power line will have on you personally. It is extremely important that we fill the rooms of these hearings, so bring your friends. If you do not like public speaking, you can submit written comments, but please try to attend, if possible. These are the times and locations of the Warrenton and Front Royal public hearings: * Thursday, July 26, at 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Friday, July 27, at 9:30 a.m. at Fauquier High School in Warrenton * Wednesday, Aug. 15, at 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Thursday, Aug. 16, at 9:30 a.m. at the North Warren Volunteer Fire Department in Front Royal The recently established > Power-line Landowners Alliance, an unincorporated association of citizens and nonprofit organizations, has been waging a valiant campaign against Dominion’s proposed construction of an addi tional transmission line through Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, and Prince William counties. The alliance believes that the need for the new power line has not been demonstrated and that any such line, if ever constructed in historically sensitive and scenic Northern Virginia, should be placed underground. For more information, please visit the Web sites of the alliance (www.thepla.org) and the Piedmont Environmental Council (pecva.org/landuse/energy/po werlines) or phone the PEC at 540-987-9441 or 540-3472334. Emery I RLEP Power Line Task Force There will be a new sheriff in town! Ttook my kids to the JLAmissville Fire Hall on Saturday night for Connie Smith’s campaign for sheriff kick-off. The barbecue was delicious and the huge Dalmatian dog moon bounce was a big hit with the all the kids there. The fire department did a wonderful job facilitating the event (not endorsing a particular candidate) and it was nice to see so many friendly faces. In such a festive atmosphere, it’s easy to lose sight of the important decision Rappahannock voters will face in November and the effect our decision will have on the county for years to come. I went to elementary and high school with Connie and have eqjoyed reading about her success with the sheriff’s office over the years. Whether she’s helping apprehend a murder suspect or taking a child shopping at Christmas, she is the model of professionalism and represents her county and uniform admirably. So often the top job, especially in law enforcement, is decided in a popularity contest or the person is appointed as a payback for a favor owed or a hefty campaign contribution. It happens in the federal government all the time and it results in the wrong person occupying the job. Once in a while, though, we are given a candidate who rises up through the ranks by working hard and being fair. A candidate who has experienced the highs and lows of his or her department and knows first hand its strengths and weaknesses. A candidate who has heard the complaints and praises directed at the current administration directly from her co-workers, the very people she will lead if elected. A candidate who was raised in the county she will serve. How fortunate the citizens of Rappahannock are to have the opportunity to vote for such a candidate - someone who has stuck with us and won’t forget where she came from. One of our own. Vote Connie C. Smith for Sheriff! Raiford Family ♦ AmissviUe Thanks for a great beginning I would like to thank everyone who assisted and attended my campaign fundraiser on Saturday. It was a great success and I appreciate your support. The funds raised will help to pay for signs, etc. for my campaign. Connie Compton Smith Rappahannock County Sheriff candidate Keep the county clean I am on my soapbox. My anger is vented toward all those uncaring, disrespectful and trashy, including every aspect of society that travels Route 211 - especially those driving past Clevengers Corner toward Sperryville and beyond. It just amazes me to no end that people traversing through Fauquier, Culpeper and Rappahannock counties litter so much. A good share of my property is along Route 211. Before I started to compose this letter, I had picked up - you name it - a garment bag full of trash. Everything from A to Z was there! What makes me more irate is the fact that some guilty trash throwers (Tib) will never see this because they are travelers. I often wonder how a TTs property is maintained. Do they hve in pig sties? It makes me wonder! There is a law against littering - but please tell me how is it ever enforced? How many fines are on the record of some one being caught? We have lived in Culpeper County for more than 16 years, and I have picked up a lot of trash in that time. I’m getting tired and frustrated at so much disregard toward your fellowman. The Lord’s word tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves. Wake up all you law breakers you are not heeding that admonition. - And, oh yes, a couple more items need to be addressed while my soapbox is handy. There are caring people that pick up trash all along the highways. Why can’t their hard work and dedication be respected? That would be honoring the Lord’s admonition. The other item that needs to be addressed: When a yard sale sign is put up along the roadside, it needs to be taken down when the event is over. Nobody wants to look at it for days and days. It’s over, it’s clutter, take it down! Betty Reedy Amissville An invitation to pray The people of the three churches on the Rappahannock United Methodist charge (north to south: Willis Chapel UMC, Flint Hill UMC and Sperryville UMC) are committed to prayer. In recent months we have put tojgether a prayer list of names of friends and relatives serving in the military: We want to extend that list by inviting people throughout the community to add names of their friends and relatives who are serving. An e-mail message may be sent to rap3umcprays@comcast.net, giving as much information as the sender is comfortable providing, but at the least, giving a name and where the , individual is serving. Alternatively, calls may be made to 675-3370 - leave a message including the caller’s phone number. Prayer requests for other concerns may be made as well, with full assurance of confidentiality if this is requested. Our churches are committed to prayer and desire to pray with and for our community. Rev.

And a special thank you to Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department for giving us the space to set up our stand. Connie Reid

Virginia’s next transportation crisis Bacon’s Rebellion James A. Bacon The federal highway trust fund has blown through its cash balance, and gasoline tax receipts are down. In the years ahead Virginia will be hard pressed to make up the differ' ence. If you thought the transportation "crisis" was over, it’s not. It s only in temporary abeyance while the political system digests the new revenue sources bequeathed by lawmakers this year. Panic will resurface as soon as it’s obvious that the financial underpinnings of Virginia's transportation program are still deteriorating Disturbing news from the U.S. Department of TVansportation suggests that Virginia and other states may be getting less money in fiscal 2010 than previously anticipated from the federal highway trust fund, a major source of state transportation revenues. And the shortfall in DOT funding is the tip of an iceberg: a dip in federal and state gasoline tax revenues stemming from the fact that people are driving less. l lie tederai Highway trust Fund sent Virginia about $1.01 billion in fiscal 2006 and $1.35 billion last year to cover construction of new road, rail and other transportation projects such as bicycle trails and pedestrian bridges. In its sixyear financial plan, the Virginia Department of Transportation conservatively projected federal contributions in 2010 and beyond: in the $1 billion to $1.05 billion range. What the actual number will be in 2010, however, is anyone’s guess. The highway trust fund has nearly spent down its cash cushion, and gasoline tax receipts have fallen below expectations this year. There is reason' to believe that gasoline consumption will not revert to its old trend line. Without corrective action by Congress, federal dispensations could fall farther and farther behind projections in the years ahead. That's the story I got from my trip to the U.S. Department of Transportation last week to meet with Tyler D. Duvall, the assistant secretary for transportation policy, and Quintin C. Kendall, DOTs deputy assistant secretary for management and budget. Along with Bacon's Rebellion intern Lyle SollaYates, we chatted about transportation policy over lunch in the DOT executive dining room. The Bush administration is pushing some very promising market-oriented approaches to transportation, but the big news to emerge from our conversation was the coming budget crunch. Duvall and Kendall see a short-term problem and a long-term problem. The shortterm problem reflects the way Congress has chosen to spend the federal gas tax revenues that flow into the federal highway trust fund. Traditionally, the DOT kept a healthy cash balance in the fund - $13 billion as recently as 2004. But in the current six-year authorization bill, Congress decided to spend down the cash balance. The good news was, the states get more money during the six years covered by the bill. Meres tne Daa news: u the feds continue doling out money at the rate they have been, the highway trust fund will face annual deficits of roughly $5 billion annually. Unless a future Congress and U.S. president decide to increase the federal gasoline tax - a controversial proposition, to say the least - the Department of Transportation will have no choice but to cut back. The highway trust fund will be able to funnel money to the states only as fast as gas receipts come in. Aggravating the situation, when Uncle Sam has no surplus money in the bank, it won't be able to pay as promptly as it has done in the past, potentially creating cash-flow issues for some states. That brings us to the longer-term problem. The money isn't coming in as fast. Between 1980 and 2005, federal receipts from gasoline taxes had increased at an average rate of 2.7 percent per year. In the early part of 2007, according to a DOT presentation on highway trust fund balances, Americans drove fewer miles than the same period the year before - for the first time ever. When Americans drive less, they buy less gasoline and pay less in gasoline taxes. There are reasons to believe the gas tax shortfall will get worse. As Duvall and Kendall observe, the major thrust of federal energy and environmental policy in both the Republican Bush administration and the Democratic Congress is to reduce gasoline consumption. The federal government is encouraging the purchase of gallon-pinching hybrid-electric engines, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called for increasing the average-fuel economy standard to 35 miles per gallon by 2020. Meanwhile, the feds are subsidizing research into new technologies such as hydrogen-powered fuel cells, with the goal of creating engines that require no gasoline at all. Recent projections reported by the Transportation Research Board suggest that with current technology, fuel economy improvements of 15 percent to 25 percent are possible within the next two decades. If Americans drive their automobiles fewer miles and get better gas mileage while they do it, the U.S. will face a steady decline in the number of gallons of gasoline sold and taxed. The implications have yet to be factored into federal transportation policy. Barbara Reese, chief financial officer of the Virginia Department of TVansportation, insists that VDOT’s six-year financial plan is based on conservative financial assumptions. The DOT highway trust fund issues highlighted by Duvall and Kendall have been widely discussed in the transportation community, she says. Indeed, Kendall (recently addressed the Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance at the Homestead.' "These issues have been talked about," Reese says. "Everyone should have antici pai>cu uicui. Beyond fiscal 2009, Reese says, VDOT budgeted no increase in revenue from the federal highway trust fund, no special earmarks from Congress and a growth in gasoline tax receipts of a modest 1 percent annually. Hopefully, VDOT’s precautions will spare Virginia from a funding crisis should Duvall's worst fears come true. But disciplined accounting can't make up for declining tax receipts if motorists continue to drive less and get better gas mileage. And there's no sign that Virginia lawmakers are preparing for the day when the gasoline tax fails to deliver. As I’ve argued before in Bacon's Rebellion, Virginia needs to shift to a "user/beneficiary pays" system for building and maintaining roads. That can be best accomplished through a combination of charging drivers a road-maintenance fee based on the number of miles they drive each year, and charging congestion tolls to allocate scarce roadway capacity. There is no move yet to restructure the gasoline tax into a mileage-based user fee. But the policy wonks in the Department of Transportation are big boosters of congestion tolls. So is the Kaine administration, at least when applied to HOT lanes. ine comDinauon oi a roaamaintenance fee and congestion tolls could create a stable, long-term funding sources capable of taking up the slack for the gasoline tax. Unfortunately, the level of political support for tolls, which many politicians regard as just another tax, is thin in Virginia. It may take another transportation funding "crisis" soon after the last one was putatively solved to persuade citizens that the current system isn't working.

That funding is critical to the health of local farms and water quality in rivers, streams and die Bay. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Federal Affairs Director Doug Siglin thanked U.S. Reps, Chris Van Hollen, DMd., Thn Holden, D-Pa., and Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., the ranking Republican on the committee, "for standing fast to help the region’s farm families implement proven technologies that will protect agriculture and improve the health of our waterways." "The region’s farmers have repeatedly demonstrated their willingness to implement conservation measures, but they can’t foot the bill alone," Siglin said. Van Hollen, joined by many Congressmen across the watershed, was instrumental in securing $150 million in conservation binding dedicated to the Chesapeake Bay region, and will be working with Chairman Collin Peterson, D-Minn., Goodlatte and Holden when the legislation comes before the committee next week. Funding will be distributed as part of a comprehensive r strategy that addresses problems on a watershed basis. The watersheds receiving the initial focus will be the Susquehanna and Patuxent. The Potomac and the Shenandoah have also been added at the request of Van Hollen and Goodlatte. "The Chesapeake Bay is a cherished part of our American heritage," Goodlatte said.

Next door, the sounds of roosters and hens echoed through the poultry barn. Up the hill, inside the sale bam, children's hands gripped the necks of their favorite sheep, guiding it in the direction of the judge. When it was time to name best in show, only one received the prized trophy, sure to be placed on a shelf badt home. For the hundreds of people who attended and participated in this year's Farm Show, held July 4 through 9 at Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises, these sights and sounds mean more than a blue or red ribbon. They are a continuation of rural tradition, passed down through generations, meant to build values and stress the importance of a simpler time. For Sarah Platts, an assistant judge in the homemaker's competition, the Farm Show is about remembering that time and embracing a country way of life. "You don't see stuff like this in bigger dries. People there don't realize where the chicken or beef that they eat comes from," she said. "The people that bring their crafts here didn't create this stuff on a computer. They sat down and took time to make it" Rappahannock livestock awards This year several members of the Rappahannock 4-H Livestock Club represented some of their best exhibits and took home several honors. There were six exhibitors in the Livestock Show showing hogs. Caroline Massie took three hog awards, vanning 1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place. Tifihny Wayland . won Novice Showmanship and Fitting Grand Champion as well as a 7th place award. Taylor Yowell won 3rd place and 6th place while Kouitney Yowell won 5th dace and 7th place for their hogs. Alke Yowell won two 4th place awards and Amber Dodson won 4th jdace and 5th place. Excellent exhibits The homemade goods of more than 90 exhibitors were showcased throughout the week in the homemaker's building. Judges browsed through the many categories including decorated eggs, com crops, (tell collecting, bottle collection, scrap booking, drawing, wood working, canning, cakes, pies, brownies, biscuits and everything in between. It's funny how when things change, how much more stays the same," said Platts. Its nice to know that some of these values are still sticking around." Platts aided in judging the numerous entries in the photography contest, flower contest and garden and crops contest She meticulously placed best in show ribbons on the best flower arrangement best dill specimen and prettiest sunflower. Rappahannock contestant Cariy Day won a Best of Show award for her Watercolor Pointing in Fine Arts and other 1st and 2nd place ribbons. "When you think of small towns, you think of people with flowers in their yard, working in their gardens," she said. "These flowers bring back a simpler time, that country lifestyle, and bringing nature inside your house.1* Farm show history Hie CMR Farm show started in the 1940s, bringing together farmers from three rural counties to compare notes and appreciate the simple things in life. Homemaker's building chairman Rebecca Beach was impressed by how the traditions of yesteryear are still felt at the Farm Show today. 1 showed back: in the 70s, so I think it's great fix the kids to continue,'’ Beach said "The baking and the canning is all what you do onyour farm and this is what you do in your spare time. You sew, you quih and these are the things that women used to do." This is a time where people can remember their childhoods," Platts said "As a child most people here showed in the farm show and were involved in 4-H."

Students are enjoying a variety of camps and con- i struction work is underway. Camps began with the aptly 1 named “Summer Fun” for children in preschool, i prekindergarten and kinder- i garten. For two weeks, a dozen i youngsters had summer fun < by making funny putty, batik < T-shirts, ice cream in a bag, i Japanese fish movies, mosaic boxes, Aztec sun gods from i their own clay, pinwheels, i vegetable soup and their own < bubble mix and blowers. They \ played spray bottle tag, baked ' their own bread sculptures i and made a popular drink 1 from Africa, almond milk. Ah, 1 to be so young and carefree! Aubree Parker, a soccer star at WCDS and now at \ Randolph Macon College, ran * our first soccer camp for 18 » boys and girls. She taught the \ younger children the basics of i soccer with improvement f drills for skill development in i offensive and defensive ) moves. The older group 1 refined these skills at a more « advanced level. A 2007 graduate of WCDS and scorer of 2,000 points during his high school basket Dali play, Patrick Dale coached the summer basketball camp of 15 students. Patrick once again demonstrated first-hand his knowledge of dribbling and shooting along with teaching the proper mechanics of defensive positioning and offensive moves. Aided by Andrew Smith, a rising lOth-grader, the varsity duo was able to provide one-on-one instruction to each of the students. Peter McEvoy, the Randolph Macon College men’s head soccer coach, brought his more than 20 years of camp experience to Wakefield Country Day School by hosting a half- day camp over a one-week period that featured 16 students from WCDS and Rappahannock County schools. Students divided into groups and received instruction on many areas of skill improvement. Competition was created on individual skill levels and all participants had the opportunity to show their talents. Each student received a T-shirt and ball as a reward for hard work during the week. Camps continued with Drama Camp for seven students ranging in age from rising kindergarten through rising fourth grade. The children studied Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and, after a week of preparation, performed an adaptation of file play for an enthusiastic audience of parents, family and friends. The young players memorized many lines, including Shakespearian songs ("Come unto these yellow sands, and then take hands!"). They scripted, blocked and choreographed seven comedic scenes. The youngsters designed and implemented special effects, including an amazing contraption which caused a banquet to vanish, and created other revolving set pieces that transformed a ship into a shipwreck. They created an island mood using their imaginations and artis Lit UUCUIS. Student-designed costumes allowed campers to transform themselves into sailors, magicians, fairies, monsters and royalty. After the performance, drama campers and guests epjoyed a tropical-themed party. Players included Julia Weir as Miranda; Connor Johnson as Prospero; Luke Miller as Caliban; Joseph Dowell as Ferdinand; Gena Boice as Ariel; Catherine Deane as Queen of Milan; and Breda Clough as Lydia the fairy. Megan Baker, a 2007 iVCDS graduate, assisted Mrs. Hauger, English 11 and L2 teacher, in direction. This week three other :amps are concluding.

Tdap is a tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (better known as whooping cough) vaccine. Most are familiar with the vaccine Td (tetanus diphtheria), which is recommended every 10 years. The Tdap replaces one dose of Td. Sixth-graders, 10 years of age and older, may receive Tdap at their doctor’s office, military base or their local health department. Tdap may be given if it has been five years since the last tetanus-containing vaccination. Tdap vaccine is given free or charge at all local heath departments. The Rappahannock County Health Department will be offering Tdap vaccinations at all immunization clinics. Call the department at 540-675-3516 for clinic times.

The Board is seeking persons who are familiar with broadband technologies and/or business models, particularly in rural areas. The Board hopes that this panel can meet with current or potential vendors about extending their service(s), and to explore ways to encourage new technologies to come into broader use in our community. The end product would hopefully be a report to the Board of Supervisors outlining both the extent and type of broadband services currently available and the potential for its expansion as well as the availability of new technologies to reach hard to serve areas where the market has not produced broadband service. The panel may wish to include recommendations for public policy or investment. Interested persons are invited to contact their representative on the Board of Supervisors, or the County Administrator, John W. McCarthy, at (540) 675-5330.

By Steven Butler Special to Rappahannock News Kneeling by the edge of an open airplane door, 13,500 feet above the ground, certainly makes one question his sanity. v*.,^iat am I doing here? What V Could have possessed me to do ihis?Am I really going to jump out of a perfectly fine airplane? ■ As I watch the skydivers in front of me begin their descents, I wonder if they have similar thoughts. The ground is a grid of farms, roads and small towns. It’s a view that would be beautiful, if I were safely nestled in an airplane seat. But from my vantage point, it’s ominous. My skydiving experience began the night before as I woke up nearly every hour. Is it anticipation? Probably. Could it be last-minute butterflies? Definitely. Finally, at 7 a.m. the alarm sounds. My wait is over. My family was amazingly supportive of the outrageous endeavor I was about to attempt. They saw it as an opportunity to increase confidence in general. Friends, neighbors and family members all weighed in with lastminute advice on the adventure I was about to take. The last words of advice came from my girlfriend. “Don’t die. And call me as soon as you get to the ground,” she commanded. As I approached airport, I immediately noticed the hangar in which training takes place by the bold SKYDIVE displayed on the top. My anticipation began to mount and I was ready to take to the skies right away. But first, there was the legal mumbo jumbo. I was attempting a Tandem Skydive in which one person is attached to an experienced skydiver. This type of i i skydive allows anyone to expe[ lienee the thrift of skydiving with very little training. A Steven Butler, a 2007 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, writes about his experience skydiving in Orange County. short video and a “phonebook” of forms and I was on my way. As I skimmed the many forms, the first real feelings of nervousness settled in. “Skydiving is am inherently dangerous sport/ Well, it doesn’t take an aviation expert to realize this, right? Am I seriously risking my life for a thrill? The papers were signed and the 15-minute training session was complete. It was time to meet my diving partner, Brent, the man who would literally balance my life on the weight of his shoulders. He fit me with a harness that would soon be attached to his harness, some goggles and a skull cap. “Do you want to release the parachute or do yon want me to?” he asked. I quickly assured him that I would rather have him release it. I found myself somewhat at a loss for words. Small talk was impossible as I heard the approach of our airplane. As we filed onto the plane, I felt the rush of warm air from the propellers on my face. We packed like sardines onto the plane's two benches. As the plane began the approximately 15-minute ascent, I watched as my altimeter inched higher. The more experienced skydivers were cheering. I was just trying to enjoy the plane ride. I gulped nervously as the door stood open during most of the flight.___ _ •About three quartera,of the— Tramecraft \ by ftawgwrfiKitfWV .mihift fm mmmmm P.

Then, a tap on my shoulder signaling it was time to awkwardly waddle to the door. As I made my way to the door, I was suddenly not nervous. I felt completely prepared for what I was about to do. . Then, we're on the edge of the plane. “Ready!” Brent leans us forward. “Set!” He leans us back. “Go!” We plunge forward looking down on the clouds.

For 55 seconds, I’m flying. At 6,000 feet the parachute is ejected. At first, a sharp drop is experienced as the chute is let out. This is quickly replaced by a tranquil feeling of floating. At this point I find words again and I'm able to chat with Brent. “I’ve been working as a skydive partner for about 10 years," he says. "I have dived just over 3,000 times." And I thought I had accomplished something with my one jump. As the ground nears, I remember my training from earlier in the day. Most injuries occur while attempting to land. I’m careful to listen closely to Brent’s instruction. We land safely, sliding easily across the ground with nothing more than a few grass stains to show from our adventure. I've made it. And now I know. Skydiving truly is one of life's great experiences. Boy Scouts spend -•vweek at Camp By Roger Pierson Special to the Rappahannock News Tlie troop had just finished celebrating the Fourth of July in Sperryville when the appointed day to leave for Summer Camp was upon them. Arrival at camp Sunday afternoon was made much easier this year, as the troop’s gear was delivered directly to the Laurel Ridge site using their new trailer, donated by Flint Hill United Methodist Church and Settle’s Garage. The troop then topped off a hot day by completing swim checks in spring-fed Miller Lake. After a tour of the dining hall and posing for a group photo, the troop settled into their campsite, assigning camp duties, making final merit badge selections and scheduling their activities for the coming week. The troop’s Senior Patrol Leader, Buster Brown, had decided to participate in the Zeb High Adventure program and hence would be off-premises during daytime hours caving, rock climbing and canyoneering. Thus much of the leadership required in camp fell on the shoulders of Assistant Senior Patrol Leader Joey Heinzelman. Joey shared his responsibilities with others and received much assistance from Troop Scribe Bret Heddleston and the rest of his resident troop leadership. Lamp me begins early, sometime between the hours of 0500 and 0645, depending on the coming day’s planned activity. After preparing for site inspection, the troop would take the 10-minute walk to the parade field for assembly and the raising of the colors, followed shortly by the blessing in the dining halL By popular demand it was decided that the quadrant yelling loudest received seconds first. By organizing their quadrant to yell “Q-2" instead of individual troop numbers, Troop 36 and the remainder of their quadrant were blessed to receive all the pancakes, pork barbecue, and sloppy joes they desired Life’s simple pleasures are made known at camp. Days were filled with merit badge sessions, meals, games, songs, cheers and competitions. One of these, and new this year, was the “Staff Infiltration” held at dusk, in which staff members would attempt to sneak past Scouts into a perimeter surrounding the dining hall. Many of the staff proved to be wily and inventive opponents, resorting to disguise, the use of props and eliciting the help of Scoutmasters, in their attempts to pass unidentified through the hoards of Scouts guarding the ground about the perimeter. The game took on another dimension when Scouts started posing as staff members, subjecting themselves to interrogation and thereby further confusing their own ranks. The and a hot b entire camp with the m seated game proved to be one of the most popular and enjoyed of the week’s activities, sure to be repeated next year. The troop also enjoyed the water carnival, in which the entire youth contingent was “seated” in a canoe without sinking, and Assistant Scoutmaster Matt Bywaters scored second place in the belly flop contest. Having performed impressive dives judged on splash height and breadth, this new Eagle Scout was bested only by another Scoutmaster who, perhaps intentionally, suffered a precontest sunburn. This earned the competing Scoutmaster the many points attributed to belly hue, and thus first place in the contest. Troop parents visited camp on Friday, bringing with them a delicious covered dish dinner that was enjoyed along with fellowship in the Laurel Ridge campsite. The Scouts added to the many desserts offered, by preparing the Troop 36 Two Tbne Cobbler in a Dutch oven, and served to all, including many staff members knowing the culinary aplomb of Rappahannock cooks. The troop also enjoyed a Polar Swim held at 0600, a night away from their campsite spent under the stars on outpost and working on a camp service project - repainting the entrance sign to camp, and watching their Scoutmasters beat the undefeated Staff team at kickball, among many other activities. In a week of “almosts,” the troop scored 499 out of a possible 500 points on camp inspections, won second place in the canoe competition and missed earning the Rock Enon Elite Award only by failing a spot uniform inspection. Assistant Scoutmaster Larry Liles shot a . very respectable score in the ^j. archery competition, but alas he was among some very talented archers and barely missed placing. Keliel from this trend was found in the presentation of the troop’s skit at the closing campfire ceremony. Waldo, a popular Field Sports merit badge counselor, received this nickname due to his rather lanky physique, resembling that of the main character in the “Where is Waldo?" series. Troop 36 leveraged Waldo’s desire to appear in a skit to develop a theme. Introduced in the presentation by Buster Brown, with the line, “Not Where is Waldo, but Who is Waldo,” the skit took on the dimension of ninja and other martial battles among characters dressed in black or white costumes sporting horizontal red stripes. Among all the mayhem, Waldo calmly appears. The skit was a hit, receiving a very rare standing ovation from the attending Scouts, Scouters, Staff and families Boys ages 11 through 18 interested in Scouting may call Scoutmaster Roger Pierson at 540-222-9465 or contact him via e-mail at piersons® erols.com.

' Classifieds/B9-B 12 luly 19,2007 Section B www.rappnews.com ncti' - 'n -1 r im«niini»« Local vintner pairs wine with swine High on the Hog proprietor has new venture in Madison By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer A Rappahannock County restaurateur is carving out a new niche at a winery in neighboring Madison County. J.D. Hartman has combined his ove for barbecue with vintages from lis Christensen Ridge Winery in a package he calls Wine and Swine. Rappahannock residents may ■emember Hartman's smoked barbecue from his High on the Hog [restaurant. In the mid-1990s, High on the Hog was a fixture across U.S. 211 from the Oldway Art Center west of Sperryville. Hartman has had ventures in Front Royal, Gainesville and Warrenton since then, but he still lives in Rappahannock with his wife, Debbie, and their three children. Hartman bought the 209-acre Christensen Ridge two years ago and opened the winery's tasting room in September. "Out in California right now, the big thing is barbecue and wine," he said. "It makes sense: spicy food and wine." Hartman said he did not want to do anything loud that would disturb the winery’s neighbors, so offering barbecue was right in line with his experience and the area. "Here we need something that's not offensive," he explained. "A lot of wineries do things like rock concerts and stuff, but we don't want to do that." _ Visitors to Christenson Ridge have a full spread of food from which to choose. Hartman smokes ribs, turkey, pulled pork, trout and blue fish accompanied by side dishes like baked beans, coleslaw and rolls. Diners can sit outside on the winery’s scenic hill-top patio while eating and enjoying one of Hartman's four wines. Christensen Ridge produces two reds - a merlot and a Tuscan blend — and two whites - a chardonnay and a viognier. Hartman’s 12-acre vineyard is in one of the most ideal grape-growing locations in Virginia. The vines are at the top of a hill that receives a constant breeze to keep the fruit dry and prevent mildew from setting in. Hartman said he works closely with John Delmare of Rappahannock Cellars and learned to make wine from Chris Pearmund of Fauquier County's Pearmund Cellars. Hartman spent a year in the VINTNER AT WORK: J.D. Hartman chats it up in the tasting room at Christensen Ridge Winery. Rappahannock News Staff Photos Anita L. Sherman ' WINE AND DINE: Eat J.D. Hartman's barbecue and sample wines on Christensen Ridge's patio. PERFECT SPOT: Christensen Ridge's hill-top vineyard receives a constant breeze that provides the ideal conditions for growing grapes. late-1980s traveling from New York to Jamaica to perfect his barbecue technique. He visited every barbecue spot along the way, and picked up a lot of ideas in the process. Rather than using traditional hickory wood to smoke his meats, Hartman uses wild cherry wood. He says cherry provides a consistent flavor that is never overpowering, as hickory can sometimes be. And Hartman said it's possible that he may once again serve food in Rappahannock. The smoker Hartman uses to cook at the winery is mobile, and he says he would like to bring it to fund raisers and other community events. Hartman also has big plans for his vineyard. He wants to completely start over with the 12 acres of vines behind the winery building and return the property to its original name, Misty Mountain. He plans to take out the roughly 10,000 vines and replant from scratch. Christensen Ridge is a family-run business through and through, but Hartman said he may have to hire some extra help to replant the vineyard. Although Hartman has some big projects on the horizon for Christensen Ridge, the winery is already a fully functional destination. It has a laid-back atmosphere, scenic views, fine wines and comfort food all in one place - every ingredient one needs for a lazy summer afternoon that will have barbecue connoisseurs "high on the hog.” E-mail the reporter at kallenQBimespapers. com AGED TO PERFECTION: Wines are aged in oak barrels next to the tasting room. r At a Glance If you go Christensen Ridge Winery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays or by appointment during the week.

[ Moneytrain ran third in the l Grade III Marcellus Frost Hurdle this May in his most i recent start. t “We knew he was a good horse all along that was worth giving the time to,” trainer Jonathan Sheppard i said. “We figured he was sort of coming to his peak for this race, and, luckily, eveiything came together.” Moneytrain got a stalking i trip under rider Danielle ; Hodson, tracking early leader Swimming River. Moneytrain took command with a half-mile to go and drew off to win over Class Vantage. Charlie Whiskey closed for third, 11 V& lengths behind the winner. ne got a ntue oit Keen; 1 didn’t want to be ranging with the leader quite as early as I was,” Hudson said. "He’s just such a phenomenal jumper. He’d jump his way up there but luckily when there wasn’t a fence in front of him he’d settle back and save a little energy.” Moneytrain got the 2 Vi miles in 4:01.63, the secondfastest of the 10 Ferguson Stakes to date. Also this weekend at the New Kent County racetrack, Andrea’s Pic found room late and quickly drew off to a twolength victory in the $60,000 Somethingroyal Stakes on Saturday. Andrea’s Pic enjoyed a ground-saving trip under Dane Kobiskie while 3-5 favorite Changeisgonnacome dueled , head-to-head with longshot Dude One Step! Dixie One Step took a slight lead through an opening quarter in 22.41 as Changeisgonnacome pressed her two-wide and Andrea’s Pic raced 2 1/2 lengths back in fourth along the rail. Dude One Step and Changeisgonnacome stayed glued together around the turn and turned for home a head apart. Changeisgonnacome began to tire in the upper stretch, and Dude One Step looked primed to score a big upset. Andrea’s Pic was still 1 Yi lengths back at the three-sixteenths pole but a hole opened in mid-stretch and the 4-year-old Housebuster filly spurted through to take command inside the eighth pole and draw off. Andrea’s Pic covered the 5 Vi furlongs on turf in 1:03.19 to score her first stakes victory. Virginia native Rodney Jenkins trains the winner. Results June 17 Junior ft* *nat 1. Bale. nfR^al Lay; 2.

Stuart’s Most Daring Scouts” Scouting and spying have been described as the most dangerous and thankless forms of Civil War service. Come learn about two intrepid Confederates who lived behind enemy lines, experienced hair-raising escapades, made narrow escapes, and lived with the reality that immediate execution awaited them if they were luckless enough to be captured: The life of handsome South Carolinian Will Farley, a true Confederate patriot, seems like a John Wayne movie. Farley once leaped on his horse and raced after a federal train, rode alongside the engine, and shot the engineer. Culpeper native Frank Stringfellow was rejected by the cavalry four times because of his sparse size. Yet, one historian called him “the most dangerous spy in the Confederacy.” Whether hiding under an old woman’s hoop skirt or attending a Union ball in drag, Culpeper’s “007” is credited by Gen. Fitzhugh Lee with gathering more information for the Army of, Northern Virginia than any other man. Mrs. Morton is a Culpeper author and tour guide. Don’t miss hearing her illustrated talk on the lives of two of her favorite soldiers featured in her historical novel “Marching Through Culpeper.” The lecture will be held at the Graffiti House, 19484 Brandy Road, in Brandy Station, VA.

Lovely lilies Amssville Julie Emery 937-2315 Juiie@ JiHieEmery.com I’m extraordinarily lucky to have Don & Valerie Jones for neighbors. One reason is, of course, that they’re exceptionally nice people and great neighbors! But I’m also very grateful they’re my neighbors so that I have the opportunity to enjoy their hobby, day lilies. Hobby is probably not a strong enough word! This looks a lot more like a passion! The flowers are at their peak in terms of blooms right now and the site of the two long rows of beds is stunning. But turn around and check out the bed that’s just beginning to be filled on the other side of the yard and you’ll understand what I mean about this being a passion! It may be that all you know about day lilies are the beautiful orange varieties you see growing wild along side the local roadways. But lilies are a variety of flower that has over 30,000 named varieties! And the variety of colors is almost endless. They’re a great flower not only because of the variety of available colors, but also because they’re perennials and fairly hardy. Don & Valerie were kind enough to give me a tour of their day lily garden one evening and tell me about how it all got started ail those years ago! Actually Don’s love of flowers comes from his childhood when he helped his mother in her garden. She had tons of daffodils and azaleas. And Don and Valerie eventually became the owners of many of those flowers. While Don & Valerie moved to Amissville in 1967, the lilies didn’t start to take over the place until six or seven years ago. They started out with a relatively small number of lilies. Then their daughter, Cami, sold her house and couldn’t bear to leave all her day lilies behind. So, Don & Valerie added to their collection. Inspiring, TnaugRts, by Randy Writer TOWARD A PEACEFUL CONCLUSION Hospice is an established pvt of the healthcare system. It helps patients who ve faced with terminal illness to realize their preference for spending their final days and weeks at home rather than in a hospital. Hospice is designed to help family and friends of the dying person meet this difficult challenge. It neither accelerates nor slows the dying process. Upon entering hospice, the patient ceases treatments designed to provide a cure and focuses on the goal of controlling pain and attaining comfort. Most hospices send personnel to the dying person’s home, along with the necessary medical supplies and equipment. Medicare Fart A covers hospice care provided that the patient’s physician certifies that the life expectancy is six months of less.

Don is in the midst of trying to catalog them all now. He takes photographs of each one as it blooms and is creating a database with all the information. This is his third attempt to catalog them all. One year a computer crash thwarted his efforts and another year he got sidelined by an auto accident. So far, this year’s cataloging is proceeding without incident! I love the names of some of these flowers! One of the new ones that they purchased this year is called Stage Coach Inn. I especially loved one called Always Afternoon. Valerie has her favorites but Don just shakes his head when asked to name his top picks. I have to admit, with all this variety it’d be a tough choice! The festival of flowers starts around the third week of June. There are early bloomers, late bloomers and even rebloomers! And the flowers will continue for several months. And, while the peak is now, there will be plenty to see for weeks yet. While day lilies have a reputation for being easy to care for, there is still plenty of work involved. First of all, I’m amazed that each and every plant is so carefully labeled. The plants are dead headed as each bloom finishes. There is, of course, weeding to be done. But the real scourge around these parts is deer! The Jones’ seem to have finally conquered their four-legged foes with a fence taller than most basketball players! Once the work with the actual flowers is done there are shows to attend, growers to visit, catalogues and magazines on day lilies to peruse. It’s easy to see how this could become all-consuming! The new bed is starting to really come along. But the Jones’ say that’s the last one. Hmmmm. There’s an awful lot of space left in this yard and since it’s already fenced in and protected from the deer...I mused that they might as well keep going. Don was clearly tempted but Valerie laughed and shook her head at the amount of work they already had on their hands. As a selfish spectator I’m more than happy to see them add many more beds! With the Jones' as neighbors, summers in Amissviile get more beautiful every year! Get... NEWS to Me Your TufnesCommunity.com weekly c Newsletter Local news delivered to your desktop every week.

Positive Outcome/Action from Living i The Board of Supervisors has approved the creation of a study group to look at the internet needs of the county.. .a direct outcome of the Living Tbwns workshop Both Chris rhompson, a policy analyst at the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, and Joel Garreau, author, Washington Post columnist and keynote speaker, had stressed at the Living 'towns meeting that high-speed, reliable and affordable broadband Internet connections are one of the key factors that will determine the fate and fortune of Virginia s rural communities. If Rappahannock wants to increase its tax base by attracting small, non-polluting businesses, broadband is a necessity. If Rappahannock wants to encourage professionals who will bring, and continue to operate, their home-based businesses, they often need broadband to handle their data volume. These businesses bring income to tradespersons because they need support to renovate houses, upgrade or fix plumbing and electrical, cut trees, deliver fire wood, design and upkeep gardens, clean houses, mow lawns, plow driveways, repair computers, etc. In addition they will shop at local farms, roadside stands, shops and eat at restaurants. This is a demographic population that traditionally does not stress County services, and, if history is prologue to the future, will donate many hours of volunteer time to improve the community. The BOS is to be commended for moving forward to plan for meeting the needs of our community. SperryviUe in Tourism News Articles tourism is a goal of our Comprehensive Plan. I will try to report whenever I learn that CCLC fundraiser By Louise Van Dost Saturday night at 7:00, The Child Care and Learning Center sponsored their second annual pre-Auction cocktail party. Over a hundred guests, bearing donations of auctionable items and monetary gifts, gathered to celebrate CCLC’s coming thirtieth anniversary of serving young children in Rappahannock County. The event was a true example of community spirit and wholehearted support of this worthy cause. But, it is the behind-thescenes story that makes this event so noteworthy. The hosts extra-ordinaire, John and Beverly Sullivan, opened their home, “ The Meadows,” to guests who donated either $100 to go toward CCLC’s Fall Auction fundraiser expenses, or who donated an item or service that will be auction this November. The Sullivans’ beautiful home and gardens are the most splendid and unrivaled setting for a cocktail party that promised “grazing' and libations. It could not have been more perfect. To make good on the “grazing” promise, Food Chairperson and caterer at large, Kay Miller and her “Friends” produced a spread that left nothing to be desired. She orchestrated the presentation of a myriad of dishes ranging from tiny delicate ham biscuits, caviar morsels, barbequed shrimp to smoked salmon and an array of cheeses the Inn would be proud of. Ah, that’s where we thought it would end! But, no! After we thought we could eat no more, the desserts started arriving — one more tempting than the next - leaving us no choice but to loosen the oeit buckle a notch and go for it! Who could resist, among the many other choices, a “do it yourselF fondue chocolatedipped strawberry, a tiny pastry sporting a fresh raspberry, or a sinful pecan/chocolate bar? The members of the Board of Directors as well as the Friends of CCLC all “stepped to the plate’ and contributed their outstanding culinary efforts to produce a virtual groaning board of delicacies. This party was an outstanding example of Rappahannock team spirit! The items donated at the party will be just a few of the items available at CCLC’s 12th annual Fall Auction on November 10. Come out and support Rappahannock’s non-profit early childhood program! Sperryville Barbara Adotfi adolfibarbara@ verizon.net l (540) 987-8682 Sperryville has been featured in news publications.

About trus time every year l tell myself Fm not going to have a vegetable garden next year. My brother-in-law lets me have a garden inside his 10-foot high electric fence. That keeps out the deer and most of the bear, but it doesn’t do anything about stopping the weeds and the potato bugs and the com worms. I start out all excited about getting the garden planted, and the early stuff starts coming up, and Fm hoeing and weeding and tilling and everything is going along just fine, and then something happens. I think it is the hot weather that causes the problem. It’s not too much of a problem for the garden; it’s the effect that it has on me. I get wilted. Then, we have a couple of decent rains, and the next thing you know I can’t find the row of butterbeans for the hog weeds and morning glories. It’s much the same way with the sweet potatoes. And, I could always grow good onions. This year, I was lucky to get onions back as big as the sets I planted. Never saw anything like it. And I thought I was going to have enough peqs to feed Flint Hill, when the second planting came up looking pretty. Well, the pods got about an inch and a half long, and some filled up and the rest got hard. We had two little bowls of new peas, and that was the crop. Things are looking a little better in the bean department. We got the first two cannings done, and we have put up 34 quarts. And the tomatoes are starting to come in. I don’t know how we made it before we got a pressure canner. That thing is a godsend. We also made a few half-pints of strawberry preserves and blackberry jam. We have some com that’s about as high as an elephant’s eye, but it doesn’t have a lot of ears on it. I’m hoping we don’t get anynard storms tnat diow h over. We used some Preen around the tomato cages, and that seems to have helped keep the weeds down. I need to get on the internet or something and see if I can buy that stuff by the truckload. The next big job, besides the tomatoes, is to get the potatoes dug. I think each year Fm going to find the right size plow and hook it behind my little tractor, and add the tire weights and the chains, and have Linda drive the tractor while I plow out the potatoes. I remember walking behind Unde Clarence’s mule when he would “bust” a new row of potatoes, and it was a glorious sight. Those old spuds would boil up out of the ground and I thought I could never get them picked up fast enough so he could turn that mule around before he ate all the com in the next row and come back down that row again. Some years we made 40 bushels of potatoes. Music at the Co-op On Saturday, July 14 CFC Farm & Home Center, Washington, had their SaleA-Bration. What a blast it was!

Life’s transitions We all go through major life transitions throughout our lives, such as starting school for the first time, graduating from High School or losing a loved one. For Doug and Tammy Ricketts of Washington they lost their son, Lee, on January 15, 2006. One moment he was having fun and the next instant, God had taken him to heaven. It's only been 16 months since he left them but to Doug and Tammy, it's been a life time. xi s very important to know Jesus as your personal savior because in a twinkle of an eye God can take you to be with him. It is also important that we do not allow the major transitions in our lives to impair us. Try to learn to manage the changes, readjust to the new lifestyle and continue to grow and learn. For Doug, Tammy and the family, they were so grateful and happy to have Lee, as long as they did. He was their charming gardner, who made their souls blossom each day. Please keep Doug, Tammy and the family on your prayer list as they continue to struggle through their loss. Saturday, Mrs. Anna Deavers of Front Royal, accompanied her daughters, Mrs. Tammy Ricketts and Ms. Sheila Estes, and her granddaughter, Miss Tamara Estes, all of Washington, to visit Mrs. Deavers' mother, Mrs. Jessie Corbin, in Culpeper. Mrs. Corbin recently celebrated her 85th birthday. Friday visitors of Doug and Tammy Ricketts were Mrs. Stacy Skaggs, Chelsie Skaggs and Chase Skaggs of Stanley, VA.

isi 1 heatre thanks supporters with musicale rlY KICHARD LYKES Special to the Rappahannock News Celebrating some 21 years of producing original plays, workshops, and musical programs in Rappahannock County and more recently around the country, Ki Theatre recently entertained some 75 friends and supporters with a musicale at the home of Joe Gale and Will Hopkins near Flint Hill. Ki 'Hieatre’s claim to fame is its inspirational programs of theatre and workshops which use story-telling as the catalyst for empowering people of all ages and backgrounds to express their creativity and build community. In its work, Ki Theatre produces original plays (including “No Ordinary Person,” “Stories Rim Through Us,” various Christmas plays and poetry readings. It also hosts the always sold-out “Soup and Soul” evenings which highlight writers, artists, photographers, and other creative spirits in the area Kis artistic director, Julie Portman, has been honored nationally with an Obie Award for her theatrical work. Portman’s Life Stories Workshops have been featured on national television. Paul Reisler’s Kid Pan Alley recording garnered a Grammy nomination. Concert Review The concert of music and song held on July 7 featured Will Hopkins, an attorneyturned-songwriter who now lives part of each month in Nashville exercising his very considerable singing and songwnting talents. Also appearing in the evening's entertainment roundup were friends from Nashville (Steve Mitchell and Diona Devin) as well as young pianist/singer Ryan Benyo of Rappahannock. Although his voice cannot be styled true “Country,” Hopkins’ inspired songs aptly illustrate the reason that “Country” music is so popular these days, not only in the USA but around the world. It’s fun, down to earth, and unpretentious. Based on everyday experiences like a heart-warming relationship with his dog, Hopkins has woven clever lyrics and toe-tapping rhythm into a charming song. And with his pleasant voice he has come up with a winner in his endearing song, “The Dog Don’t Know Sit” about a beloved mutt he adopted at the Amissville pound. Although described in his song as the most loving dog in the world, he concedes that “the dog won’t hunt, won’t pay him any mind, won’t fetch, won’t stay .. . [and, painful to admit] he don’t know sit.” Unlike some singers of popular songs these days, every word he sings is clearly understood, correct in its pitch and soaring in its range. Hopkins’incomparable baritone to tenor range comes into its best with a rendition of “My Last Sunset,” a touching song that was inspired by and dedicated to Rappahannock County. Several verses from this moving ballad clearly reveal his artistic abilities and future as an accomplished songwriter When I'm out in Rappahannock and my working day is done I head out to the back porch to catch the setting sun It's a time for taking stock, a time for making plans For asking if I'm being true to who I really am There are mountains to be climbed, dreams I haven't chased Life's the sweetest wine and I've only had a taste But you only go round once, and the years fly by so fast By the time you're getting started, and it's over just like that As a red sun fades behind tha t old Blue Ridge I know that I am blessed to be living where I live Oh it's here in Rappahannock you can lay me down to rest RAPPAHANNOCK TO NASHVILLE: Flint Hill attorney-tumedsongwriter, Will Hopkins, recently gave, a concert for Ki Theatre supporters. Here Hopkins is holding his mutt, “Amos,” who he found at the Amissville pound and who inspired the catchy words and melody of “The Dog Don’t Know Sit."
