130th Year ... No. 21 Phone (540) 675-3338 THURSDAY, WAY 22, 2008 WWW.RAPPNEWS.COM 50 CENTS Saluting sheriffs Photo by Major Scott Jenkins Last Friday, May 16, there was a very special gathering at the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office when past sheriffs gathered for a Police Officer Memorial Picnic. Representing over 100 years of law enforcement in Rappahannock County were (l-r): William A. Bunton (1976); John H. Woodward (1984); Gary Settle (1996); Larry Sherertz (1998); and Connie Compton Smith (2008). f By Anita L. Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer Last summer thanks to the efforts of a group of stalwart community fireworks fans, the fields at the Thornton Hill Hounds racecourse were covered with tents, parked cars and most spectacularly with colorful, spread blankets stacked with happy folks. They had come by the hundreds to picnic, party and look to the skies for those ever familiar bursts of pyrotechnic wonderment. And they weren’t disappointed. The view was perfect and so were the fireworks. Bringing hack the fireworks to Rappahannock County in a big way was the vision of local organizers Richie Burke, Gary Settle, Mike Leake, A1 Henry, Greg Williams and Eddie Wayland. This year, Larry Grove, has been added to the core group of coordinators who are planning the event again. “The fireworks have already been ordered,” said Burke who noted that the venue will be much the same as last year’s with vendors, food and entertainment. Local organizations and businesses are encouraged to participate. All proceeds from this event will go to the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department, however, Burke said that non-profit groups would be able to keep whatever funds they raised. With gas prices soaring and no apparent end in sight, Burke is optimistic that this year’s event may draw even more people from neighboring counties who could come to Rappahannock, spend a pleasant and fun day and see a spectacular fireworks display that would rival those of Northern Virginia. ' Corporate sponsorships will be available. Tent spots will be the prime time zones for leisure viewing and the gates will be open early - perhaps not quite as early as last year - but certainly by 2 p.m. so that folks can stake out their piece of the field for commemorating our nation's birthday. Hoping to improve each year, the committee is still looking for hot air balloons, helicopters, and more entertainment. Bobby Glasker and Friends is already signed on as well as Richard Brady and his Shenandoah Travelers. Local resident John Kiser apparently can set them up with a chainsaw juggler. Oh, what a that will make. “I just wanted to get the word out that it’s going to happen again,” beamed Burke who has been formally trained in the art of pyrotechnics and hails from the days when folks would gather near Avon Hall for the annual display. With stiffer restrictions attached to fireworks and their proximity to crowds, that site was abandoned many years ago much to the chagrin of county residents. . For many years, you had to travel outside the county to see fireworks until last year when through the combined efforts of the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department and the Fletcher family, fireworks came back big. This year, the Fourth of July falls on a Friday. If it’s raining, count on Saturday, July 5, as a rain date. “We might even be able to do it on Sunday, July 6," reassured Burke, who is happy that they have a weekend to work with.

County grant will fund tourism website ; Rappahannock County Administrator John W. McCarthy announced last week that the County has (received a 2:1 matching grant fethe amount of $10,500 ti Virginia Tburism Corporation to support the develipment and marketing of an official county wide tourism website. The County applied for the grant in partnership with the Tbwn of Washington, the Washington Hospitality and Visitors Association, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community and the Rappahannock Non-Profit Center, each Of which pledged to contribute financially to the tourism project. Other supporting partners include the Rappahannock Business Alliance, which will provide Copies of the Rappahannock Visitors Guide as a fulfillment piece (in-kind value of $1000,00); the Rappahanhock Historical Society; and Shenandoah National Park. ; The Office of the County Administrator served as the fead partner in applying for the grant and will manage the project. The County has allocated $15,000 in funding over FY 2008/FY2009 toward development and marketing of the tourism website. Contributing partners pledged the following amounts: Town of Washington - $3000.00 over two years, Washington Hospitality and Visitors Association - $1,000.00, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community - $1000.00 and the Rappahannock Non-Profit Center - $1,000.00. “The development and marketing of the website will serve as the initial step in the development of a county wide tourism strategy and marketing plan to increase tax revenues and foster the growth of tourism-related businesses, organizations, and attractions in the County," said McCarthy. ‘"The participating partners will serve in an advisory capacity to develop tourism goals and initiatives in harmony with Rappahannock County’s comprehensive plan to preserve the rural character of the county while at the same time creating new jobs and supporting the local economy.” McCarthy was notified of the grant award by Steve Galyean, Virginia Tourism Corporation’s Director of Development. “We received a number of quality applications—with a limited amount of funds available for the Spring 2008 Virginia Tburism Corporation Marketing Leverage Program,” said Galyean. “Your project, Rappahannock County Tourism Website and Website Marketing, will help realize our common goal of attracting more people to Virginia, enticing them to stay longer and spend more money. With a diminished budget, we are constantly seeking partnerships, particularly through our grant program. Thank you for your commitment to work with us. Again, congratulations on you- grant award.” “Our grant program is just another important example of the public-private partnership VTC enjoys with our tourism industry,” said Alisa Bailey, president and CEO of the Virginia Tourism Corporation. “These grants provide matching funds that help communities increase the impact of tourism bringing more visitors and jobs for our citizens.” The Office of the County Administrator will contract for the design, content and marketing of the county wide tourism website through its competitive bidding process. The partnering organizations will meet to develop specifications for the project and requests for proposals are anticipated for release in early June. The impetus for applying for the tourism grant grew out of the Living Towns meeting held May 31, 2007 in Sperryville. More than 100 people participated in the meeting that was held at the Schoolhouse, which is now The Link, Rappahannock's community center. The Living Towns program agenda included presentations by other rural localities that have successfully initiated Police Briefs Thirty-year-old Michael Wayne Lewis II of Front Royal has been sentenced to ten years in federal prison for his role in the July 2007 robbery of the Trading Post, the gun store 6n U. S. Route 211 in Washington. Forty handKns were taken in the eft. Rappahannock County Sheriff Connie Smith, who was instrumental in the investigation of the crime, was disappointed in the length of Lewis’ sentence. Said the Sheriff, “I felt that he should have gotten more time. The guns that he stole were used in other robberies, armed robberies. They were used...there was a police officer shot with one that we are aware. The officer shot was in Maryland, and critically injured. It was my understanding that (Lewis) was going to get more time” Some of the guns were transported across state lines, said the Sheriff. Some, but not all of the weapons have been recovered. One woman, Rebecca Smith, Lewis’ sister, was arrested in Tennessee and charged as an accomplice in the robbery. Rebecca Smith, 32, pleaded guilty here in MORE EVENTS ONLINE... / KappNevvs.com J Rappahannock County and has since been released. — Compiled by Jed Duvall tourism programs in keeping with their local economic goals. A representative oiVfC& marketing team was a guest speaker on the program. “The support of the organizations partnering in the application was spontaneous.” said Barbara Adolli. who serves on the board of the Non-Profit Center as a business and tourism representative. “We all have the same goal, that is to support our businesses, increase tax revenues for the county, and preserve the Rappahannock County that we love. Sustainable tourism is one way to do this.” The Virginia Tourism Corporation reports that “every $1 invested in tourism marketing brings $5 back to Virginia in taxes.” Rappahannock County offers many of the attributes that are considered most desirable by travelers today. The proximity of Rappahannock County to the sophisticated audiences of the Washington, DC metropolitan area and the Mid-Atlantic region make it an ideal destination for leisure travel. Opportunities for meetings and special events also offer potential revenue for local businesses.

Audit Bureau of Circulations i© THURSDAY, MAY 22* 2008 A vote for clean water With the passage by Congress of the new Farm Bill last week, Virginia and the rest of die Chesapeake Bay region stand to receive up to $440 million in additional federal funds to help farmers reduce runoff pollution, one of the nuyor sources of pollution in Virginia rivers and the Bay It remains to be seen whether President Bush will veto the bill and, if so, whether Congress will override a veto, and we will leave to others the debate on the merits/demerits of form subsidies. What we do maintain is that, love it or hate it, this particular Farm Bill contains unprecedented new conservation dollars specifically targeted at the Chesapeake Bay That's a first, and the state’s congressional delegation deserves everyone’s thanks for working together to do what many thought impossible — to influence a nuyor piece of national legislation historically controlled by politicians from other parts of the country That’s pretty good work on behalf of farmers and clean water in the Commonwealth. Speaking of clean water on a local level, Rappahannock’s RappFLOW group can use some help this weekend as they finish the upgrade to the rain-garden at the SchoolHouse in Sperryville. There’s more planting that needs to be done. If you are available then you would be most welcome to join the RappFLOW volunteers as they finish phase two of the upgrade. They’ll be putting in small trees, shrubs, and other plans that will filter the water captured in the basin from the parking lot run-off According to organizer Chris Russell, it’s easy work putting the stuff into light soil. If you’re interested, you can reach Chris at surfcaster^att.net. Thank you Captain Brown It’s been 13 years since Captain Jeff Brown took on the task of organizing the annual D.A.R.E. Day event at Rappahannock County Elementary School. The event has expanded so much that it is now called D-A.R.E/Field Day and will be held next Friday, May 30, starting at 9 a.m. While some schools throughout the country have all but abandoned the D.A.R.E. Program for a myriad of reasons. Captain Brown has kept it going in Rappahannock and there’s no doubt his vigilance and dedication to youth has paid off. Young people today are plagued by peer pressure and the pressure of growing up in a world that many of us adults find bewildering. Having a steady and faithful hand to guide you is a gift that Captain Brown has given, and continues, to give the community with his leadership. If you get a chance, stop by, listen to the laughter, see the smiles and look for Captain Brown. He’ll be the one with lots of young people flocked around him. |U- . . i I . H l| County has a good heart The character of a county is often reflected in its generosity to those in need. This past holiday seuson. so many individuals, churches and organizations responded to our call to make this holiday season a bright and cheery one for ail our citizens, both young and old. Volunteers could be found wrapping presents with colorful paper and bows, packing bags with turkeys, fruit, staples, and necessities. Others baked cookies, pies. mad* fudge, and delivered pack.' ages to the horaebound way into the night. From just before Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve. many of Rappahannock residents volunteered their time and efforts towards making the holidays as joyful as possible for everyone. And so. it is with sincere gratitude that we here at the Department of Social Services. Aging Together, the Retired Senior Volunteer t*rogram. and the Rappahannock Senior Center, wish to say “thank you* for once again responding with the generosity that makes* living in Rappahannock such a beautiful place to call home. With sincere thanks, Sharon Pyne. Senior Advocate, Department of Social Service* Darcy Canton. Senior Site Coordinator Sallie Morgan, Project Director, Aging Together Lola Walker, RKCSB Nutrition and Volunteer Coordinator From Where I Sit Anita Sherman Most of you art* probably aware that l will bo leaving as editor of The Rappahannock Nows noxt wook. May 2H will be my last day. I’ve boon tho editor horo nearly four years and during that time l*vo come to know many of you, In fact. 1 would call many of you friends. My leaving has nothing to do with company politics* and everythin# to do with a need for a change and an opportunity to repot myself in fresh soil. I will be joining a company in Warrenton • OoskaNews. They are an international publisher with an online product that deals with global water issues in developing markets. I’ll still be writing and editing but the issues will be global rather than local. While l am ready to tackle a new challenge. 1 wasn't ready for the outpouring of emails, "phone calls and personal visits that l have received as the word of my departure has spread through the community. It has betui very validating and very touching. In fact, bittersweet. During my tenure. I have tried to give voice to all the voices* in this* beautiful county. And there are many. While no doubt a “come here“ l have been embraced and accepted and dealt with openly and warmly. 1 value that and my time in Kappuhannock will be a chapter in the book of my life that 1 will revisit many times*. You have all made a difference in my life. 1 am richer for knowing you and 1 am privileged to have carried the torch these past few years. 1 know that it will continue to burn brightly and 1 thank you. the community of Rappahannock, for my seasons with you. There are no ends. Just a series of new beginnings. National EMS Week: May 18 to May 24, 2008 The week of May 18 mark* the beginning of National Emergency Medical Services Week. This is the time when Fire and EMS agencies recognize providers for their commitment and life saving efforts, as well as a time to get the word out. Our communities need to know who we are and what we can provide. The EMS systems here provide both basic life support and advanced life support, there are also other more specialized aspects to EMS. Here is a very straightforward explanation of just what EMS is. The EMS system begins with you. the general public. You are part of the team; it starts with your call to 911. • Emergency arises • Call to 911 • Arrival of First Responder or EMS unit • Patient is transported and turned over to hospital staff Once at the hospitul the other parts of the system take over (Physician, Lab. X The Forum Timothy R. Thompson Ray, etc.>. So as you can see you are in the system, it all begins with you. the general public. The system starts with the basics, without good basic life support advanced efforts may not work. Ami if you do not call 911 promptly the chances even get lower. The public also needs to know the ever important “Don’t wait." If you nei-d KMS do not wait and think the problem wilt go away, many times it does not Think tilunit the person who was suffering from chest pain and thought it would just go awav. that it was indigestion. That person does not have to worry about that any longer, they died because they wuited What this person thought was something minor turned out to be* a heart attack After being involved in KMS fur over :K> yuan*, ami being a retired Faramodic from Washington, D.t'. Fire and KMS i have seen this scenario alt too often. Many times we put off nuM.iu. al problems for whatever reason, and in some cases we wait too long and nothing can be done. Know the signs and symptoms of a heart attack, know the signs and symptoms of a stroke. I strongly urge everyone to take a t'I'K class, we all need to know what to do wlu'n seconds count. Your Fire and KMS providers do a very stressful job, many of them without pay. They do this out of the goodness of their hearts The typical KMS provider spends hundreds, if not thousands of hours learning and practicing to be the Inst they can le. 1 hiring this week of KMS recognition 1 ask that you give your local KMS providers the recognition they deserve. All it takes is a “Thank you”. When you see tht'in out and about just toll thorn thanks*. That moans* a great deal to the KMS provider. it lots* thorn know that pooplo do care. 1 als*o ask that you. tho public give s*omo of your timo and think about voluntwring. This* is* a vory good way to holp others and it is* vory rewarding. Stop by your local station and lot tho nicuitiors show you uround and tell you about thoir dopartmont. I know tho importance of volunteering. along with my wife and son wo volunteer at our local station Another way to give is to donate to your station, this helps them got tho equipment they iushI to better servo you in your tune of crisis.

The dynamics are here for a better market and the statistics are beginning to prove it. Based on local MRIS Multiple List information the number of homes “Sold* is rising, reducing the amount of inventory on the market and conditions are stabilizing This is cause tor celebration in the UPAAR region that includes Fauquier.

GPAARs President First time homeowners are seeing their opportunity to take advantage of low interest rates; choice homes priced right and a good supply to make an intelligent decision. Second home purchasers are seeing the potential to lever' age their money over the long term, rather than watch it decline in the current stock market. Since the majority of the average persons wealth comes from home ownership, many are re-evaluating the current market. If you were thinking of waiting until the media says, “buy*, you would have missed the opportunity. The tune is right now.

There have been several other reports in the County this spring of dogs attacking or being attacked by raccoons. Bringing pets up-to-date on their rabies vaccines seems like just another chore, like getting County stickers or getting the car inspected, but in those instances when the unexpected encounter with wildlifo occurs, it makes a world of difference to a dog or cat if their rabies vaccine is current. There is currently no effective post-exposure treatment for dogs and cats like there is for numans. so rabies vaccine offers tile only protection available for pets, and in turn the whole family If an unprotected pet lone with no vaccine or an expired vaccine) is exposed, or potentially exposed to rabies, the oidy way to protect everyone else from that pet. which may contract rabies from the encounter, is to euthanize that pet. or strictly isolate that pet for a six month period and wait to see if it develops rabies. Six months is the longest known incubation period for dogs and cats. On the other hand, currently vaccinated dogs, cats and ferrets that are exposed to rabies will only need a booster injection and a 45 day (much less strict) observation period to protect that pet and the humans in the family respectively, Certain species of livestock can also be protected by vaccines. Only mummuls get rabies; birds. Hah. reptiles, and amphibians do not.

Non-profit organizations should have vision and mission, nurture and acknowledge its volunteers, and its financial ethics and transparency must be paramount. The re-organized Spark! passes all criteria with tlying colors. “1 have worked with numerous non-profits for almost 30 years and t have never been this enthusiastic. Sparkl’s mission is to include as many residents as possible with new and imaginative arts programs. 1 am particularly excited about our childrens photography project and partnership with the iconic National Geographic.

Obituaries James W. Jenkins Native of Rappahannock James William “J.W.” Jenkins, 74, of Culpeper, VA, died at UVA Hospital, Saturday, May 17. Mr. Jenkins was born in Rappahannock County. December 23, 1933 to the late Thomas Earl Jenkins, Inspiring Tfiengfits PERPETUAL CARE People who are interested in properly maintaining grave sites will want to avail themselves of "perpetual care” services that are provided by the cemetery. As its name implies, perpetual care is an assurance that the grave site will be taken care of for eternity. Generally speaking, this means that the landscape, including the lawn and shrubs, will be fed and clipped so that the dignity of the deceased is preserved. In most cases, this service is financed by placing a portion of the cost of every grave in a fund. While its principal amount remains invested, funds drawn from the interest are used for the upkeep and maintenance of the cemetery. This service relieves the family of overseeing chores.

During the tour in Afghanistan Josh tended to many casualties and was very much a part of the combat unit. This tour was more varied. Attached to a unit of 400-500 troupes in Northern Kuwait, Josh accompanied that unit to provide medical support during incursions into Southern Iraq. In addition to direct medical support, Josh reports that he had training and leadership responsibility for medics and was involved in house-tohouse distribution of blankets, medical supplies, space heaters and shoes and toys for children in Iraq. He particularly noted the poverty of the people and came home with a deeper appreciation for how much we have in the United States. His wife Heather gave birth to their second son, Hayden, the day before Josh began his trip home and he is very happy to be back with his wife and two children. Josh is a member of the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad to which he brings a high level of medical Sperryville Barbara Adolfi adolfibarbara@ verizon.net (540) 987-8682 expertise.

Takao returns to The Theatre By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News On Saturday, May 31, at 8 p.m. the pianist Naoko Takao returns to the Theatre at Washington, Virginia to play a concert of classical music which will include works by Brahms, Schubert and Albeniz. This will be Takao’s fifth concert here in Little Washington. Naoko Takao, a native of Japan, maintains an active performing career as recitalist, orchestral soloist, and chamber musician in the United States and abroad. Since coming to the U.S. in 1984, she has been a recipient of many awards and scholarships including the gold medal in the 2000 San Antonio International Piano Competition and, most recently, the award of the S&R Foundation in recognition of her contribution towards furthering Japanese-American understanding through music. The music to be played at the upcoming concert includes die Sonata in C minor, D958 by Franz Schubert; three works by Johannes Brahms: Intermezzo in B minor, Op. 119, No. 1, Capriccio in B minor, Op. 76, No. 2 and Rhapsody in B minor, Op. 79, No. 1; and three works by Isaac Albeniz: Evocacion, (Book 1 Iberia), El Corpus en Sevilla (Book 1 Iberia), and Triana (Book 11 Iberia). In program notes which Takao prepared for this concert, she relates why she is only now including works by Schubert and Brahms in her repertoire: “For this program, I attempt to expand my musical horizon by programming composers that I Naoko Takao have not included in recent years. I studied a number of works by Schubert and Brahms in both solo and chamber music when I was still a student. Although I greatly admired their works, I always felt a little overwhelmed by the tradition and standards set by generations of great performers and did not feel I could find my own voice in them. I may have been slightly biased by the fact that both Schubert and Brahms were two of the top ten most frequently programmed composers in Japan when I was growing up.” Takao went on to explain that it was not until she began to play the music, and “found I couldn’t stop practicing” that she was certain the time had come to include these works. Tickets for the performance on Saturday, May 31, are $20 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. For reservations, phone (540) 675-1253, send email to TheatreVA@aol.com, or write to: The Theatre, 291 Gay Street, PO Box 322, Washington VA 22747. A day to remember As summer approaches, Memorial Day often provides a day off when families can get together for a picnic. But this day has been set aside for a very special reason. It is to honor those who have given their lives for this country or who are currently serving to protect our freedoms. Let’s take time on May 26 and raise the flag high and pause in prayer to say “thank you” for the free life we’re living and another “Memorial Day” to appreciate all the deceased military. We should feel proud every day for our beautiful flag and for the great fortune we have to be Americans. The upcoming Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) will have their meeting on June 14 at 9 a.m. in the Rappahannock . library. They welcome all -new applicants and veterans.

Ross Special to the Rappahannock News Tears of grief, tears of joy, bursts of applause and cheers of encouragement punctuated the 2008 Senior Scholarship Awards Assembly held at Rappahannock County High School last Thursday. Guidance Director Jason Gochenour officiated as scholarship winners, many accompanied by parents and family members, joined scholarship donors and presenters, teachers and administrators, and the entire tenth through twelfth grade classes for the ceremony. Together, the assembled company witnessed the generosity of the local community, celebrated the many student successes, and grieved the lost loved ones in whose memory many awards were given. In all, nearly 60 awards totaling over $60,000 were presented to 30 different students, including several graduates of’05, ‘06. or ’07 with renewable scholarships from those years. Following the ceremony, the sun broke through the clouds as award winners and their families joined donors, faculty, and other community members in the courtyard for a celebratory reception sponsored by the Headwaters Next Step program. Congratulations to all the scholarship winners and best of luck to them on the path of higher education. • Alpha Delta Kappa Teaching Scholarship: Crystal Heflin • Anne Keyser Trust Scholarship: Tymeyer Freeman (RCHS *05) • Anne Keyser Trust Scholarship: Justin Gheen (RCHS 06) After Beth Hilscher presented four “Emily Jane Hilscher Passion Awards,” Scholastic Bowl Team Captain A.J.
