No. 22 Phone (540)675-3338 Photo by Richard Lykes Farming in rural Rappahannock County is a picturesque sight but the costs for local farmers isn’t always pretty. Cost of Fanning on die rise By Jason Peck Rappahannock News Staff Writer Good news for fanners - the price of crops has risen dramatically in the past year, bringing bigger profits. And the bad news - the cost of farming those crops has also reached record highs, raising the stakes for farmers who seldom reaped mas 66 I’ve never seen it like this. I’ve never seen the stuff spike like it has now. Taye Griffin, Griffwood Farms sive prohts in the tirst place. “All the costs are going up, substantially - fertilizer cost, fuel cost - anything that has to do with petroleum products has increased substantially,’" said Kenner Love, agricultural extension agent for Rappahannock County. “Obviously, there's inflation every year, but some prices have doubled or gone up threefold. “It affects everyone in agriculture . . . . Anybody that requires any sort of fertilization, or pesticide use of any kind - it's all going up in price. It's just across the board," said Love. Across Rappahannock and Culpeper counties, farmers and farm mg experts agree that the nation is seeing something unprecedented. Production costs have.kept pace with crop prices, leaving farmers with the same margins, but high figures and much more risk. How it will affect agriculture as a whole years from now remains to be seen. “They need more cash to plant a crop,” David Durr, General See FARMING, Page A2 HOW MUCH? Veteran farmers say they've never seen anything like it. The value of crops is rising at an unprecedented rate - so is the cost of farming. f A look at some crop prices: Crop May 2007 May 2008 Pet.

Fall 5K being planned for Sperryville By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer A note to runners in Rappahannock County and throughout the region: Mark Oct. 25 on your calendars. A new five-kilometer run is being planned for Sperryville. Proceeds from the Sperryville Fall 5K will benefit Rappahannock youths in memory of Lucy Grace, a Sperryville infant who died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in 2007. Proceeds from the run will benefit the Rappahannock County School Sports Association, the SIDS Foundation and the Rappahannock County Park and Recreation Program. Melissa Harris, a Sperryv ille resident and member of RCSSA, is organizing the event. “I’m a runner and I wanted to have a nan in town, and do something that would be good and be fun,” said Harris, who has children involved with athletics in Rappahannock public schools. She added that a 5K nan will complement the Fodderstack 10K, which is run each April. Hopefully, she said, the Sperryville run will enjoy the same longevity as the Fodderstack, which has been run each April for 30 years. “I think our community can handle both a 5K and a 10K." Harris said. “I’ve talked with the parks and rec committee and they have been very supportive.” Now she is working to raise funds for the event. "The community response has been beautiful,” Hams said. “Ail of the businesses I’ve asked so far have been great.” Dave Gillis, a teacher and cross-country coach at Rappahannock County High School, is helping Harris plan the run. Students in Joyce Sours' art class at RCHS will compete to design the name and logo for the run. The logo will appear on T-shirts for the event. The race will begin and end at The Link i formerly known as The Schoolhouse) in Sperryville. The route will take runners east on U.S. 211 to Water Street, through Main Street to Woodward Road toward Estes Mill Road and back through the village to The Link. Anyone interested in donating to the Sperryville 5K run should call Melissa Harris at 987-9871. The run will also need volunteers to help hand out water and perform other duties on the day of the event. Boatbuilder Andrew Smith launches skiff Blue Ridge Boatworks is located in the Town of Washington By Lai kkn Ross Special to the Rappahannock Nows “Putting a boat in the water for the first time gives me a satisfying sense of closure." That is how Andrew Smith, Rappahannock boatbuilder, describes the feeling of the recent maiden launch of his newly finished 12foot Acorn Skiff. This was the culmination of thousands of hours of hard work - lofting, calculating, estimating, milling, shaping, laminating, painting, varnishing, fitting and seemingly endless sanding. After years of laboring next to the boat, this was the day to finally step inside of it. Smith started Blue Ridge Boatworks, in the town of Washington in the summer of 2005. He divided his time between the boat shop, various construction jobs and Blue Ridge Mac, where he is a certified Macintosh technician. The challenge of building boats, parttime, in the mountains revealed itself from the start. “The most difficult part was finding, estimating, and ordering materials,” said Smith. “If 1 was a half of a quart short of something - paint, varnish, glue - it could throw my schedule off for a week or two. But, 1 was bound and determined to build boats. And this is our home.” And so, on the first warm.' clear Saturday afternoon in April. Smith towed the finished skiff" to a local pond. He and •Justin Corddry, a furniture and cabinet maker with whom Smith shares the Packing Shed shop space, easily carried the surprisingly light boat to tln> water's edge, and gently eased her in. Smith stepped inside, pushed off, and rowed to the far side of the pond. "I knew that it wouldn't leak," he said, “but 1 was thrilled P'loto by MiranO.l Hope Putting a boat in the water for the first time gives me a satisfying sense of closure. Andrew Smith, boatbuilder that the changes that 1 had made to the hull design had not adversely affected tin* tracking or speed." Smith acknowledged that the afternoon had a kind of excitement to it ‘It felt as though something that had been inanimate in one moment, transformed into a liv ini! tiling the next." he said "A boat is meant to lump a certain function and enjoyment into people’s lives for many, many years. When you experience it floating for the first time, it feels like opening a batch to its pur pose.” This skiff is Smith's third boat, after building two at The Landing School in Arundel. Maine. Smith calls his experience then* '“invaluable," saying that his education gave him not only the practical techniques to build a “vacht-quality fit -and-finish" boat by himself, fait also the theoretical knowledge to solve tricky challenges as they occurred. “Everything'at that school is taught with the knowledge that a boat must first and foremost be safe.” he said. “People's lives are at stake. Boatbuilding requires the lit most diligence and 1 bought for beauty, quality, and survival.” Smith smiled as he said. “With the first stroke of the oars, I knew that I had a really nice float ." Then lie added, “'Pile float is as responsible for that as I am." The skiff is for sale the first made at Blue Bulge Bout works likely the first of its kind and quality made in Kappuhannock County Interested parties mav contact Andrew Smith at his shop fi ll) ti7.ri-95>r>fi.

It just increased the risk.’* At Griffwood Farms, Taye Griffin has watched his diesel prices jump by 140 percent. The fertilizer bill likewise jumped 250 percent, he added. "Well. IH just keep on' knocking*he said.“IVe been doing this all my life, but Fm not the only one in the boat.* Many point to com production as a primary cause. With the demand for ethanols on the rise, com prices have never been higher. But com prices carry a huge impact to other areas of farming. For instance, the cost to produce 100 pounds of milk increased 25 percent from March 2006 to March 2007, said Durr. And 90 percent of that cost increase was driven by the price of com. Only a fraction of American com - 5 to 10 percent - actually results in human consumption, said Durr. Most instead goes to feed livestock, meaning more expenses in livestock operations as well.The rest goes overseas. Other countries - particularly in Asia - areconsuming more meat than ever, and demand com as feed for their animals. That coincides with a drop in the value of a dollar, making exports to other countries more attractive. ‘It's kind of a perfect storm,* Durr said. And fuel costs plague the farmer more than the motorist. Virtually every stage in the process from planting to fertilizing and harvesting requires the right machine for the job. And those machines need large amounts of fuel “Diesel fuel is killing everybody,* Beddow said. The thing about bio-diesels - they’re great. But they cost more than regular diesel, and you have to upgrade all your tractors, so there’s another added cost.* And fertilizers use tremendous amounts of energy in their manufacturing. As a result, fertilizer prices have doubled, sometimes tripled. Pesticides actually contain petroleum, leading to a 20 to 40 percent increase. Griffin said that fuel prices are hurting him worse than ever. In the 1970s, fuel shortages meant a big, temporary spike in gas prices. Now he says things are worse, since gas prices steadily rise. Tve never seen it like this,” Griffin said. “I’ve never seen the stuff spike like it has now." The situation has left farmers' with few options, other than riding out the storm. Spencer Neale, a commodity and marketing specialist for the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, worried that rising costs would mean especially bad news to smaller farmers. In response. larger farms might emerge, potentially saving through economy of scale. He added theft consuming more locally-grown crops could help the situation. -It’s a pretty scary time for production agriculture.” Neale said. “I think people are going to have to ride it out and see what happens. But no one has a crystal ball. American agriculture’s pretty resilient.The prices won’t stop Joe Beddow, wfyo gave up a lucrative construction career several years ago to pursue farming, his lifelong dream. Now after farming under someone else, he wants to work his own fields. Beddow. 36, began negotiations on a 220-acre farm in Rixeyville. With land prices as high as they are, getting a $2 million loan for the land would be a challenge enough. Now the rising costs have made his dream harder than ever. “It's a risk, it’s a game," Beddow said. “It used to be you could either run cows or do crops. Now you have to do both. If you put all jour eggs in one basket, you could ruin yourself.” • You may contact Jason F\?ck at 825-9882 or e-mail jpeck<8>ti m espapers. com.

Springtime sneezes? Tree love is in the air By Valerie Walker Sp«*otU tu th»* Rappnhnnn«>ck Mure than the date on the calendar. I know spring has sprung when my eyes turn into leaky faucets and I start walking around the house with a Kleenex box perpetually tucked under one arm. I know I’m not akme in my suffering — l hear the coughs and wheezes all around me. Tb understand the problem a little better, and possibly find a solution. I contacted a local expert: Dr. Jyothi Gadde. a board-certified allergist and graduate of .John s Hopkins University. In Gadde’s 23 years of practice as an allergist, she has helped about 23.000 putients breathe easier. She has offices all over the metro area, including a space on Blackwell Rond in Warrenton. and is a frequentflier on “Washingtonian Magazine's" list of top docs. The doctor explained that allergies — which are the immune systems abnormal response to normally harmless substances — have been on the rise in the post several decades. Currently. 25 percent of the population suffers from allergies. A war inside your body To explain what happens with an allergic reaction. Gadde compared the immune system to an army. The body has several sentries on patrol. When one of these soldiers spots an invader (the allergen), it sends a message out to the whole immune system, asking for backup, igniting a war with more soldiers and chemical weapons. The closest immune system units respond first, releasing their chemical Rappahannock News Staff Photo. Mark F Sypher Dr. Jyothi Gadde has offices in Warrenton and Culpeper. weapons, or histamines, which produce the sneezing, watery eyes, and other symptoms you know so well. The purpose of these mictions. Gadde said, is to expel the invader as soon as possible. At this point, vou usually try to get away from whatever it is that's causing the miction, and you start to teel better. But the miction isn’t over yet. That soldiers on patrol sent out a message to the whole system. More troops are already on their way with more chemical weapons. The war's second battle will start several hours later, making you feel miserable again. Only this time, you can't just walk away from the allergen. And because the second wave is delayed, you may not even know to what you're reacting. According to Gadde. allergies have a huge impact on quality of life. “If you have a wild, you are sick for a week. Maybe you stay home from work for a few days." she said. Allergies, however, can keep Allergy myths versus reality Myth: Beautiftil flower* cause springtime allergies. Dr. Jyothi Gndde explained that many people mistakenly believe the same springtime blooms that bring joy to our winter-weary eyes also bring tears and allergy eyes. “If you see flowers and they are pretty and colorful, that is to attract the bees. That pollen is heavy and it sticks to the bee ," it doesn't float around in the air, Gadde explained. The real offenders are actually tiny flowers that escape our notice, like oak trees and grass. These plants have to send out massive amounts of pollen, just hoping some of it will land in the right place. It’s a very inefficient and wasteful way to reproduce, and the end result is the thick film of tree pollen we often find covering our cars at this time of year. But the pollen on the car only represents a small percentage of the particles that are still floating around in the air, just waiting to find a way into our noses. Myth: Allergies are only seasonal. Gadde said many people believe allergies only act up in the warm months, and that year-round symptoms must be the result of sinus trouble. In our region, she said, the pollen season lasts from February through October, and mold is a pervasive problem for most of the rest of the year. Also, indoor allergies (dust mites, cat dander and roaches) linger year-round. Myth: Asthma and allergies are different. Gadde said that 30 to 40 percent of people with nasal allergies will have lung problems. A long-term, untreated allergy can become a self-perpetuating cycle. Allergies can provoke asthma attacks, and increased exposure to allergens at home or in the office increases the risk of developing the disease.

VA 22747 you feeling sick all year tong. Getting better • Recognition. Gadde said the first .step in allergy treatment is recognition of the root Cause — a process best handled by board-certified allergists. By performing a skin test, allergists can pinpoint exactly which kind of allergen is triggering your reaction. In the test, the skin is exposed to small amounts of a variety of allergens. The reaction reveals exactly to which allergens your body is allergic. • Avoidance. Once you know what’s getting under your skin, you can try to stay away from the allergen. “That’s easier said than done," Gadde acknowledged. • Medications. Antihistamines can stop an allergic reaction once it has already started, but in the meantime, you have to suffer the sneezes and wheezes. Some antihistamines can cause sleepiness, and ore not practical for people who need to work, go to school, operate a motor vehicle. or otherwise function effectively. • Prevention. Gadde noted there are some preventive medications (like nasal sprays) that can prevent the allergic reaction from starting in the first place. But without addressing the underlying mechanism, any medication is just a band-aid, and when you stop taking it. your body will react again in the same way. • Immunotherapy. One of the things Gadde said she epjoys the most about her profession is that she has the ability to completely cure patients. The cure is immunotherapy. commonly called “allergy shots." Over the course of a few years, immunotherapy patients receive shots containing increasing amounts of their allergen. “The body learns to make soldiers that can fight the enemy without all these other chemical weapons, so there is no damage* done, and no allergy symptoms," Gadde said. Eventually, the patient is cured, and the allergic reaction stops. The Allergy and Asthma Specialists of Greater Washington hns offices in Wnrrenton and Culpeper.

I ■ ■ ■■■ — ■ THURSDAY, MAY 29, 2008 A win-win Governor Timothy M. Kaine recently announced that Shenandoah Waste Services LLC will invest $4 million to expand its materials recycling operation in Page County, creating 60 jobs. The company’s recycled materials are used as an alternative fuel source for energy production. Virginia successfully competed with Maryland. North Carolina and West Virginia for the project. “An environmental company like Shenandoah Waste Services is valuable to Virginia,” said Governor Kaine. “The company’s services capture waste that would otherwise go to landfills, transforming the end product into an alternative energy source - a win for Virginians and the outdoors. The Commonwealth is a great fit, as Shenandoah Waste Services’ Page County location is within close proximity to its large customers and northern construction markets.” This is good news. Jobs will be created and their work will enable industrial customers to have waste-free manufacturing facilities. It will also help builders and construction companies recycle scrap and that recycled material is a suitable alternative fuel for the production of energy. As counties around the Commonwealth look to “go green,” this is an exciting partnership. The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Page County and the Shenandoah Valley Partnership to secure the project for Virginia. Governor Kaine approved $75,000 from the Governor’s Opportunity Fund to assist Page County with the project. The Virginia Department of Business Assistance will provide training assistance through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program. This may be a small project compared to the global needs that our country is facing but it is a step in the right direction. Some of the latest figures coming out would suggest that looking for “alternatives” isn’t enough. What has to change is how we consume and how we live. Trying to find other ways to feed our voracious appetite for cities, mega malls and mass transit isn’t the answer. We just may end up completely tapped out. Perhaps a better solution is to look for ways to return to a simpler, less complicated lifestyle. Perhaps one that encourages local farming, smaller commutes and energy efficient utilities. And perhaps partnerships that not only help the environment but put folks to work as well. Recycling is one of those ways. It’s a win-win. Letters Thank you to Relay for Life teams and committee’ s chairman of the Rappahannock x\unit of the American Cancer Society, I would like to thank both the Relay for Life teams and the Relay Committee tor a very successful Relay for Lite event on May 17-18. A large' crow d of about 200 people attended the Tenth Annual Rappahannock Relay for Life. There were 20 teams present this yeur. Fifteen of the 20 teams met the goal of raising $1,000 each. Seven teams raised more than $2,000. The total raised by the closing ceremony by all of the teams was just short of $68,000. This money will be used by the American Cancer Society to support new research as well as education and programs to help prevent cancer and assist those who have cancer. It is estimated that 36 people in Rappahannock County will be diagnosed with cancer this year. The funds raised will help all of us “fight back." This event could not have taken place without the hard work of Evelyne Latham, chairman of the Relay Committee, and the following committee members: Ben Atkins, Becky Atkins, Beverly Atkins, Delma Bagiev, Linda Baldwin, Roger Cordani. Georgia Gilpin. Carolyn Leake, Camden Littleton, Bette Mahoney, Betty Settle. Ester Settle, Ellen Timbers and Deanna Wayland. The committee was assisted by many others too numerous to list, many of whom also served on teams. They were also assisted by Becky Ramsey and Julie Overbaugh of the American Cancer Society staff. I would also like to thank all of you who contributed to this event and to the American Cancer Society. We can only conquer cancer with your help. Lois Kerchner Flint Hill Torturing the dying I have been thinking altout the horse that broke its ankles while running in the Kentucky Derby and was euthanized (put to sleep) to keep it from suffering. This brings home very forcefully that we treat animals bettor than we do old people when their life is obviously over. I am horrifn'd at all the fuss being made over water-boarding being torture, which of course it is, when at the same time all over America we are torturing old people that are near death. I am 97 and doing great except I cannot walk and must spend my time in an electric wheel chnir, typing my memoirs, corresponding with friends and offering unneedl'd advice to those who are patiently and kindly looking after my comfort and bodily needs. I will sign up for Hospice to assist the fnmily taking care of me when 1 feel I am not here for much longer. I um extremely lucky in having enough money to live like a king in a beautiful handicap- friendly house on a lake where 1 can watch the birds and animals. I have sign<>d papers that, if they need to rush me to a hospital after an accident that they are not Upkeep me after the examinations. The papers instruct the staff-that under no circumstances an* they to use modem gadgets to keep me alive, for who knows how many more duys, in The Forum Dr. Kenneth L Russell a comatose condition and not clearly recognizing my visitors or knowing that they had been here to see me. When 1 am clearly on my way to the “Promised Land” the State prohibits helping God claim my body that is near death. In fact the Texas Legislature insists that regardless of the severity of my pain or verbal wishes nothing shall be done to hasten a painless inevitable death. Even it I have signed the proper papers to prohibit the State from torturing me by hooking me up to machines, the State will not allow my caregivers to end my agony. I may be lucky ns I linger on and not in pain but not so the family. An imminent death in a family is nearly always sad but there is no legitimate reason for prolonging the suffering of the family and loved ones by not saying gtxxlbye and sending me on when I am ready. I personally believe Ihe Devil is delighted to claim as his helpers those people who stand in the way of. helping terminally ill people answer the call of (lod. The Do-Ciooders legitimately worry about the pain of WaterBoarding, but sadly say nothing to encourage our government to pass laws to help stop the pain and suffering of a person near death. I do not understand the thinking of humans when they put their pets to sleep and yet must refuse by law an aged father or mother that are begging to go to their reward the same kind of treatment. Kenneth L. Russell. Professor of Education, Emeritus, Sam Houston State University Huntsville, Texas: was bom on a farm near Chtlhowee. Missouri on Easter Sunday. April 16, 1911. He is founder of The Educational Video Network, Inc, also known as Educational Filmstrips, and producer of best selling titles such as “Understanding Money and Inflation " and “Parliamentary Procedure in Action" used in classrooms across the US and around the world. Russell, 97. is a member of Kappa Delta Pi. Phi Delta Kappa, American Association of University Professors, Who's Who in American Education, President of Alpha Gamma Sigma, University of Missouri, 1933-34. Famous the world over for his publications on Economics, Government, and Parliamentary Procedure, and shoiving no signs of slowing down, it is obvious that Russell has no intentions of “retiring". Russell and his late wife of 72 years, Marjorie, have three children. Tbgether Kenneth and Marjorie cofounded the Universal Ethician Church and the Ethician Family Cemetery with their son George and his wife Sue. Pure innocence Thom* of you who know me already know what I’m about to write, and have been waiting to see it in print, I was told before coming a grandparent what a wonderful thing it was and how it was going to be. And, of course, I was excited alsmt the prospect, but I didn't think there was much out there to compare to being in the delivery room when my children were bom. Friends, I have had my eyes opened, once again. This little baby girl, besides lx*ing the prettiest thing I ever saw, has transformed me into a believer that there is always something new and wonderful to experience. I have to see her almost every day to convince myself it is still real. And my wife, well, she can’t stop smiling, and the glow that grandma carries around is evident to all. And, being the smart one, she figured it out. She gets her babies back. And so she does. Joy absolutely surrounds us. Was that a smile? No, , that was a gas pain, you dot ing old nuin. Look, she's trying to hold lu*r head up. Oh, how wonderful, u messy diaper, and grandma gets to change her. My friendH, my best wish for you in that you get to experience such a wonderful blessing. And, I know, life* is sometimes hard, hut (Jod is good, and this 7 lb. 7 oz. miracle in pure love and joy. More Babies A couple of day« ago, after supper, we were sitting down to read the paper and watch the news, and Linda how a doer out the back window. I looked, and there was a very agitated whitetail, standing on the hill in the firehouse lot. She immediately marched into our back field, where the grass is short, and turned around and looked back from whence she came. I saw two small brown spots moving in the high grass. When they came into the* mowed field, I could hardly believe my eyes. The* fawns were still very wobbly, and couldn’t have ls*en more Brady’s Clark Hollow Rambiinqs Richard Brady 675-3754 rlchardbrady 1® juno.com than a few hours old. The doe marched across the field, and jumped the fence. The little ones wobbled ulong, but couldn't keep up. And when they got to the fence, they were completely flummoxed, and begin walking down the fence line. About 20 yards above where the doe jumped the fence, there is a break in the fence, intentionally made by mv wife a year or two ago, when she saw fawns having difficulty following their mother. I calks! Linda, and we approached the little guys to try to herd them back towards the opening. I was afraid we would Hpook them, and they would run off and not find the opening To my amazement, as we approached, one of them stopped in his tracks, but the other one saw us and begun walking straight towards us, as if to say, what are you, and can you help me find my mother? It wus pure innocence. It had no idea of fear or flight. It was innocent and curious. The other one, instinctively, lay down under a big peony busy and curled up in a tiny ball. The curious fellow followed us around like a lap dog. The humans finally came to their senses, and retreated into the house, hoping mom would come hack and all would lie well. I would love to tell you that all ended well, and it may have. Early the next morning, I went out to the row of peonies, and the smart little guy was gone. I looked around a hit, and saw nothing, and breathed a sigh of relief. loiter in the day, I found the other fawn, alive and curled in a hall, between an old wagon and the shed. I went and put on a long sleeve shirt and gloves, and curried him, still in a little hall, over into the ai^oining field where the grass is high and I last saw the doe, and Letters to the Editor Wo welcome your opinions and comments.

Buy now By Laura Ruby Rappahannock N*ws Staff Writer Though the real estate market probably hasn't quite hit bottom yet, now is a great time to buy—if you are qualified. That’s the opinion of Alvin Henry a real estate appraiser with more than 20 years experience in Fauquier. Rappahannock, Culpeper, and surrounding counties. In his time on the job, Henry has evaluated loads of properties and seen the market rise and tall. “Every cycle is different,* he said recently from his office on Waterloo Street “In this cycle, local builders haven't been hurt. They had low inventories and not a tot of spec houses. It was the homeowners — the people who went out and bought — who were hurt this time. “I've never seen this mass of foreclosures, this large quantity of bank-owned properties that we re seeing now. This is far reach*,ig. It's across the board. This is big/ In previous housing market downturns. Henry witnessed price drops of 10 to 20 percent. “Now we're seeing 20 to 40 percent treductionsl than the peak of the market/ he said. From Henry's perspective, the market peaked in late 2003, through 2004 and remained high through most of 2006. “This time, the market changed on Sept. 1, 2006. That's when Katrina hit and it was the first time that gas went to $3 a gallon/ Henry recalled. “The market stopped. It lost air. It faltered then, and early in 2006 it started going down, and it's been progressing downward/ Land values have also dropped, he said, though they held value lunger and didn't start to come down until last year. Although it was delayed, the value reduction has been significant, he said, noting that 10-acre lots that sold for $350,000 are now moving for $250,000 to $275,000 and five-acre lots that peaked at $275,000 have The tall wits as dramatic its the rise, Henry said, pointing out that as recently as 1996. five-acre lots near Orlean could be purchased for $50,000. As the market has dropped, so has Henry's business. At the height of the market. Henry, along with a second appraiser in his office, was doing about 20 appraisals a week. Now he's down to eight to 12. “I'm about 40 percent of where I was," he said, noting that fewer homeowners are refinancing, as well, having already tapped into their home's equity or seen it eroded by devaluation. The decline in the market, Henry said, was inevitable. “It had gone up too far, too fast. Anytime you see something that has a run up like real estate has had in the last few years, there has to be a correction,” he said. The worst hit areas in Fauquier County were subdivisions built by national homebuilders, Henry said. I think what happened was that there were no checks and balances,"' he said. "Somebody went in with an in-house mortgage lender, an in-house appraiser, and an in-house title company" Henry points to a townhouse development off Academy Hill Road as an example, noting that these attached units sold for as high as $450,000 at the peak of the market. This spring, he said, they are priced in the $250,000 range. And. while these price reductions are dramatic, the market has not reached the bottom, he said. "The next two or three months will be pretty critical," Henry said, predicting that banks will start to liquidate their real estate holdings with large-scale auctions this s\immer. “That will clear out some of this inventory, but it will probably drive prices lower. The absolute bottom is guing to be when people can buy a house and rent it out and cover that mortgage. That’s the floor." As the market drops, the silver lining in the housing market becomes apparent. With loads of inventory little competition from other buyers, and “terrific" interest rates hovering around six percent, now is a great time to buy. he said. Acknowledging that Fauquier County haM' lbng struggled with affordable housing, Henry said the decline in values may offer opportunities to young couples and families. “You can go into Fauquier County, particularly in Bealeton. and buy a twostory colonial with three or four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a garage for under $300,000,” Henry said, noting that a mortgage of that site would typically carry a payment of $1,500 a month. “For a family of two Welch graduates Nathan Welch graduated from Longwood University May 10, 2008 obtaining a degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Computer Security.

I'm seeing underwriting standards go back to where they were 15 or 20 years ago,” Henry said, noting that there is no funding for subprime loans. “That market is gone and {the real estate market in general] is not going to come back as it was. The pool of buyers has been reduced for the future. Lenders are going to be more responsible. Two plus two is going to have to be four, it can't be six.” Henry said that he believes one of the lessons to be learned from the current foreclosure crises is that buyers should work with local lenders. “People get solicited by mail and the Internet, but in all honesty, the best thing they can do is meet with a local lender and work with somebody they can see face to face and have access to and not end up dealing with somebody in Texas or California.” Not only are lenders looking more closely at the financials of prospective buyers, they are also looking more carefully at residential property comparables provided by appraisers to sup port specific prices. Historically. Henry said, he is asked by lenders to provide three comparables. Recently, he has been asked for four, five or even six comps. Additionally, because Fauquier County has been declared a “declining market'’ by Fannie Mae, lenders are requiring that two of the comps have been sold within 90 days of the appraisal. With so few sales, Henry said that providing that information is challenging. “It’s not unusual that at least one of the properties [used as a comparable], and sometimes two, are bankowned properties,” Henry said.

Countryside “It was a Blue Ribbon Spectacular day” The Rappahannock County Garden Club had a flower show By Mary Collins Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock County Garden Club transformed the Washington Fire Hall with a spectacular display of horticulture and design last Wednesday afternoon. The theme of the standard flower show was “A Garden Party” and members and guests tilled the hall with their most perfect blooms, bulbs, herbs and flowering shrubs. Also displayed were floral designs in three varieties - all floral material, floral and other materials, and small/miniature. The small/ miniature designs were restricted to either a maximum of eight inches in height and width or a maximum of five inches in height and width. This show was judged by National Garden Club accredited guest judges under the guidelines of the National Garden Club Standard system and was open to any garden club member as well as the general public. RCGC Chair, Becky Stocking said that both design and horticultural exhibits were submitted by members of other local area garden dubs. While all of the entries were beautiful and some were very amusing, the highest award for one arrangement in each of the three design types scoring a possible 95 out of 100 points went to the following RCGC members: the Tri-Color Award for a floral arrangement using all fresh plant materials was Linda Taylor. President of the Shenandoah District of the Virginia Federated Garden Clubs and member of the Culpeper Garden Club and friends admires some of the smallest entrants in the May 21 “Garden Party’* Rower Show put on by the Rappahannock County Garden Club. won by Aleta Gadino. The Designer's Choice Award for a floral arrangement utilizing both fresh and dried or other components went to Maureen Harris. Mary Collins won the Petite Award for an arrangement that measured no more than five inches in height, width or depth. The horticulture awards were too numerous to men tion. A few examples are Susan Jones’ Blue Ribbon Award of Merit/Horticultural Excellence for her stunning double peony and Aleta Gadino’s Arboreal Award for her flowering shrub Physocarpus opulifolius “Diablo.” Jeannie Jarrett took First Place in the Vines section with a clematis called “Jack Manii.” In the Bulbs section, Katie Burney’s Aleta Gadino took home top honors for her Tri-Color arrangement. Allium was a blue ribbon winner. The Garden Club displayed their creations to the public after the judging and donated the door offerings of just over $400 to the Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue’s Tanker Fund. If you saw something at the show and need help identifying it or need planting tips, please contact Mary Ann Krammes at 540-547-4441 for information on when the next RCGC meeting will be held. Maybe you can spot a familiar face or describe what you saw and one of our members will recognize their “baby.” Another winner was a stunning combination created by C. Siira Designer s Choice Award went to Maureen Harris. Garnering a first place ribbon was Mary Collin’s “Petite” arrangement This dazzling double peony was well deserving of its awards won by Susan Jones. Come to the concert at The Theatre House!

Chelsea Academy welcomes new students By Drew Anthony Smith Rappahannock NVws Staff Writer Parents looking for an education steeped in Catholic tradition may be interested in a new private school opening this fall. While not in Rappahannock, it is close by in Front Royal. Tuesday morning found Headmaster Jonathan Brand eager to talk about the new facility even as construction continues and there is more debris than desktops. “We want students to know that they are heirs of great human achievement, instill a love of the world and catholic faith, and hope they build on that.” said Brand of the up and coming Chelsea Academy. “Students need to get out in the world and learn traditional liberal arts in a Catholic tradition," he added. This is the core philosophy of the new private school opening this year in Front Royal, just off Interstate 66’s exit 13. W^ile the Chelsea Academy may seem far away in Warren County, it is already drawing upon neighboring Rappahannock, Fauquier, and Frederick Counties. Of the 30 applications Chelsea has already received, a hand full are from Rappahannock County. Brand hopes that by their Fall 2008 inaugural semester, 40 students will be in attendance, provided they all pass their entrance exam and interview. To accommodate the students, three teachers have already been hired with two still being sought out. Rappahannock News Staff Photos.

Brand describes the space as an “empty shell" that was waiting to be used. The school will share a chapel with Human Life as well as lunch room facilities (when students are not eating outdoors, enjoying the view). For athletics, the school will use Rivendale Commons’ facilities in Front Royal, a short drive from the school’s site. Recently, the school put on an event called ‘Renaissance in Rappahannock’ at Rappahannock Cellars in Huntly to raise money. With about 130 people in attendance, the event offered a play, auctions, and dinner to raise $30,000. In addition to that, a private donor matched the event money to make the total earnings about $60,000. Despite not having even begun their first year. Brand is already looking ahead. “We re committed to growing and adding grades 10,11, and 12,” Brand said confidently with construction crew members working just down the hall from where he stood. However, Brand believes that the school's June 6 completion date will be met with no problems. With continued growth and continued tradition as part of their goal, Jonathan Brand and the stafF of The Chelsea Academy are hiking a big step, but with their aspirations can establish the school as a new cornerstone of education in the Shenandoah Valley.
