County to upgrade emergency system By James P. Gannon Special to the Rappahannock News Moving to improve the county's emergency communications system for fire, rescue and law enforcement, the Kuppuhiinnock County Board of Supervisors on Wednesday awarded a $513,197 contract to Motorola for a new radio communications system. In a second mtyor decision, the supervisors also authorized County Administrator John McCarthy to execute u construction contract of up to $550,347 with u Harrisonburg. Va.. firm to renovute the old Scrabble School to become the Rappahannock Senior Center and an African-American heritage site. The contract award to Motorola was the culmination of more than two years of study and discussions on how to improve the county’s emergency communications, which have relied on obsolete technology and one radio tower that leaves parts of the county uncovered. The new, high-frequency 800 megahertz system will link in to an existing system in use in neighboring Culpeper and Fauquier counties. improving the ability of the Rappahannock County SheritFs Office and its fire and rescue units to communicate among themselves and with emergency responders from those two counties as well. “It is going to be a far superior system." said Art Candenquist, secretary of the Rappuhannock County Fire & Rescue Association, who came to the supervisors’ meeting to monitor the board's decision. The existing low-frequency system is based on “1940s and t950s" technology. with signals beuming from a single tower in the town of Washington, he said. “With the mountains and hills here, we end up with a lot of 'dead spots' in the county” where the signal from the Washington tower can't reach a sheriff's deputy or a tire-rescue unit on call. Candenquist said. “It puts them in jeopardy because it they are huving difficulty they can't communicate,” he said. With the new system, “we will end up with about 95,7t coverage of the county.” The system to be supplied and ins talk'd by Motorola will use three existing towers-two in Fauquier and one in Culpeper that can beum signals to nearly all parts of the Sae SYSTEM, Page A3 County jafl inmate dies By Stephen Dakeing Rappahannock Nows Staff Writer An inmate of the Rappahan* nt-H.iv euuncy >mu was found unconscious shortly after 8 p.m., on Aug. 20.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.rappnews.com THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2008 It’s time for change Fresh off Barack Obama's speech last week and . preparing for John McCain's acceptance speech tonight, this is the time for all of us - if we so choose - to get our political fix. An overwhelming majority of Americans have told Gallup and the other pollsters that the United States has lost its way. If we are really interested in finding our way back, it’s time for a change — and that is not meant as a political endorsement for Obama. Indeed, this newspaper endorsed McCain very early this year. We are fairly certain that, whether Republican or Democrat, reversing course from the most damaging, ill-conceived and un-American directions into which we have wandered will be one of the new president’s initial ^aalra ~ The new president should back away from wiretapping all our phones, for instance, and maybe even put judicial review squarely back in the mix. Maybe he should give some thought to shutting down Guantanamo Bay and ending the most despicable chapter in American history. Perhaps he will even take a serious look at why the economic divide in this country has grown to chasmal proportions, with no sign of abating. And at how and why the middle class is disappearing, the American Dream evaporating. While he's at it, maybe President McCain or President Obama will do something helpful for the increasing millions without health insurance, the growing number without food security and the swelling ranks of the unemployed, those who have lost their homes and the millions whose golden years have tarnished. It's a tall order, but the new president will take all this on because we will make him. We believe the public is way ahead of the politicians. If we weren’t, fewer of us would tell the poll takers that we have lost our way, floundering in the darkness. We’re ahead of the politicians because we want to find our way back, and the ones currently in office apparently don’t. We hope the new president, whichever one he is, will do much better. Out of the attic The eastern approach to Washington is getting a face lifting. All of the old buildings on the left at the caution light are being tom down. The Episcopal Church purchased the lot and will make a parking area there. The original home of the Rappahannock News was located to this building in 1949. (This photo ran in the December 13, 1962 edition of the Rappahannock News.) Letters ‘Running a fire or rescue squad costs money’ It was easier in the good old days. “We just threw the patient in the back and drove like hell,” reminisced an old timer. He had just helped transport a patient to the hospital by ambulance, and was tilling out the numerous forms required by today's standards. In the “good old days" rescue squads existed primarily to get critically ill people to the hospital as fast as possible. Most ambulance drivers and emergency medical technicians had minimal training beyond basic first aid. Their main job was to pick up the patient and, with sirens screaming and horns blarinft drive to the hospital as fast as the equipment could go. Today transport is only part of the picture. EMTs and ambulance drivers are highly trained and certified. Ambulances are equipped with tens of thousands ot dollars of modem medical equipment, even a portable EKG machine. Rescue squads must follow standards and regulations (including the required paper work) set by the medical profession, federal and state agencies—even Homeland Security~the county, and other groups. This means that patient care begins when the squad team walks through the door, and, if necessary, continues until the patient is turned over to the hospital doctors in the emergency room. All rescue squads and fire companies in Rappahannock County are stuffed entirely by volunteers. In addition to responding to calls 24-hours a day and participating in training, the volunteers maintain and clean the equipment and buildings, participate in community events, keep records, pay bills, and so forth. Many volunteers put in 20 to 40 hours a week—more than 500 volunteer hours a month or more for some squads-and no volunteers receive any pay for their efforts. Last year the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad lost many of our Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and ambulance drivers due to relocation or military service. Our service area includes about a third of Rappahannock County. Although we were unable to respond to all calls, Washington Fire and Rescue and other county unite graciously answered calls in our area when we were not able to. In recent months we have been actively recruiting new members and rebuilding our resources. This has helped us add more than 20 new members. Ten of these members have completed the EMT basic class; they are now receiving on-the-job training and soon will be certified to respond to calls on their own. Several former members have returned to active duty with us. Some new members are also training as ambulance drivers and they will be completing the Emergency Vehicle Operator Certification (EVOC) course in the near future. Nor have we neglected community training. We have offered five caniio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) courses for both the general community and SVRS members. We hope you never need it, but now 34 more people throughout Rappahannock County are trained to give their family and neighbors life-saving emergency care. A few months ago the Virginia Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) transferred ownership of the building on Main Street to the SVRS, an action that we greatly appreciate. However, the building was constructed in 1949. and because we did not own it, we were limited in what maintenance and improvements we could do. Since obtaining title, we have put on a badly needed roof. In the coming months we will be making other improvements. Running a fire or rescue squud costs money. It's great to have new EMTs, but training and equipping ,*them is expensive, more than $1,000 for each new EMT. Maintaining and equipping our ambulances is another mqjor expense. The county fire levy covers some costs, but tar from all. Every squad in the county must raise additional operating funds through fund drives, events, and other meuns. Recently SVRS sent out a request for contributions to those in the Sperryville area. We hope the letter reached everyone, but it may have missed some residents. Despite the tight economy, the response so far has been generous and gratifying, and we thank you all very much for helping us and the community. If you have not contributed, we urge you to do so. If you live outside the SVRS service area, please contribute to your local squud. If you have time, consider joining your local squud. Bruce Sloane Treasurer Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad, Inc. Robin Purnell’s life to be celebrated on Oct. 4 After much thought we have decided that the most appropriate way to celebrate the life of Robin Purnell is to hold a retrospective exhibition of her work where her many friends can gather to remember her.

The Purnell Family Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 Years Ago September 1, 1968 When the school board held its first meeting in the new bus shop and administration building Tuesday, it was to discuss repairs to an old building, specifically the roof on the elementary school which sprung six leaks during the pass year.

After a brief discussion, the group concluded unanimously that they have sufficient information from Herd for them to proceed with the live-year mandatory review of the town’s Comprehensive Plans. Commission member Carolyn Thornton stated that, in her opinion, ‘all the (recommendations) stem around whether we have a good sewage system to accommodate the town’s needs. Town council member Steve Critaer. who also serves on the commission, noted that “at the last Wastewater Committee meeting, we chose a system recommended by the (Resources, International) engineers, and at the last town council meeting, the council took the committee’s recommendation...The Wastewater Committee and the town council are committed to having a sewage system in this town, whether it’s one year or five years down the road."

Obituaries Thelma IL Settle Rappahannock native Thelma Katherine Settle, 74, of Arlington, died on Tuesday, Aug. 26, at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington. She was bom in Rappahannock County on Oct. 3, 1933, an only child of Edward L.. and Pearl Newcomer Settle. Miss Settle was a former resident of Amissville. She retired from McCrory’s, a five and dime store, after 35 years as a buyer and manager. She p Ask the Arborist „ By Jam* Wood 1’- I.S.A. CarttfM Arborist Drought and Your Landscape Moisture stress adversely affects virtually every physiotagcal process in the plant. The first response is closure of leaf stomata, which is an opening that regulates water loss acting as a defense mechanism. However, with the stomata dosed, cartoon dioxide is not absorbed and photosynthesis is curtailed, limiting growth and increasing susceptibility to insect and disease pests. IMater stress also inhibits thw production of essential materials. In addition to less carbohydrate (food) production, proteins, enzymes, growth regulators mineral nutrients and other essential materials for life are not produced or translocated, further contnbutmg to reduced growth and development. Restricted growth and vitality are mmite6ted by stunted chlorotic leaves, premature defoliation, crown thinning and poor shoot growth. Droughtstressed trees often attract insect pests and disease organisms, including borers, bark beetles, and canker and root disease tungt which accelerate decline and may ultimately cause death of the plant.

New Women’s Support Group to hold weekly meetings A new Women's Support Group will meet weekly in the second floor meeting room at The LINK beginning Sept. 8 from 2-3 p.m. ‘Inspiringi TfuRtgMa COMFORT FOR THE LIVING Since ancient times, our ancestors have conducted reverential ceremonies to accompany the burial of their dead. Aside from providing the living with the opportunity to commemorate a life that has been lived, a funeral helps gneistricken individuals take the first step towad accepting the reality of death and pay their final respects. This process can be helped enormously by the show of emotional support made by family and friends. Funerals also help the bereaved by allowing them to view the body and. thereby, overcome the denial that psychologists have established is a natural pint of the grieving process. Funerals are for the living so that they might begin to find acceptance and peace. Whether you desire a traditional funeral with burial, or donation as your choice, we are here to honor vour wishes. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, no detail is too large or too small for us to handle. We are here for you. whenever you need us, at (5KW 347-3431. Our facility is tastefully appointed, and we offer ample parking We are located at 233 Broadview Avenue. Warrcnton. Assisting you with compassion is a priority for us. "The greater the ihstude, the mare thegktm m tnenvemg it" - Vfoltere There is no fee and no need to sign op in advance for this group.

SUNNYSIDE From Page A1 the infrastructure that is present on the farm today and was also a forwardthinker in the organic movement. "‘He had the farm certified as an organic farm with a focus on orchards and vegetables.’ said Lapham. “He planted an entirely new orchard and put in a number of ponds, so he really did a lot.” In 2006. Cole sold the farm to the Laphams. after moving back to Hawaii. Having grown up in Washington. D.C.. working in the environmental protection field, and coming to Rappahannock since infancy Lapham wanted to maintain and conserve the property Since gaining control of the farm, one of his main goals was to see it be protected from development. “We wanted to see it protected so it could never be chopped up into bite-size pieces.” Lapham said. “In the terms of the agreement, we also put a limit that there will never be a'building above the 100 foot contour line, which protects all of these woods from ever having a house in them. If there was, it would be visible from all of the view shed.” The easement also protects the main house on the farm, which was built around 1785 and is listed on the National Historic Register. “Right now. there are eight dwellings on the property. so the easement restricts that number at eight permanently. We re also capped at the square footage or built space that can be put on the land,'’ Lap ham said. Putting land into easement has been the Lapham family mission for many years. With this recent conservation victory nearly 20 percent of Rappahannock County is now in easement, according to Lapham. "To be part of this is really exciting for us. To be able to do something to permanently protect this property with all its historic values, cultural values, and habitat qualities because it borders Shenandoah National Park, it's very much a part of what we want to do,” Lapham said. Another of the Lapham family’s goals is to integrate the farm back into the county- ty“One of the things we want to do is give people who live in the county an Alex Sharp, Realtors Thomas and Talbot Real Estate in Middleburg, Virginia 540-219-4425 AiexSharpRealEstate.com “Representing Buyers and Sellers in RappobanrKKk County and Surrounding areas?

Don 't Let this unique opportunity get away from you! Now available at the recently reduced price of $1,85(1000 opportunity to be more a part of the farm. That was sort of our philosophy from the start,” Lapham said. Subscriber program The Lap hams have been managing work on the farm since December 2007, taking some time at first to learn the farm business. Just this year, they created a community supported agriculture program which invites residents to subscribe to the farm. “They come to the form once a week and pick up a box of produce. We currently have 32 subscribers and it just gives people in the community a chance to come to the form and see where the food is grown, plus it saves on fuel costs,” Lapham said. Although the subscriber program was experimental this year, it turned out to be a great success and the farm hopes to gain more subscribers next season. “There's between 40 and 45 different kinds of vegetables that' you’ll get, a lot of them are very seasonal,” Lapham said. “In the spring, you get asparagus, radishes, and kale, and you move into summer and get lettuces, tomatoes, and squash for example.” The farm tries to provide subscribers with a mix of different organic produce, which also includes herbs and fruits such as pears, blackberries, and cherries. Apples are of course preva lent in the fall. “It’s very difficult to manage apple orchards organically because you are obviously limited to what you can put on the apple trees to deal with fungus and insects," Lapham said. “But one of our real goals for this farm was to demonstrate biological diversity and show that you can run a viable farm while you’re protecting a working ecosystem." Produce from the Farm at Sunnyside is sold at two farmer’s markets in D.C. The farm’s vegetable production and market manager, Emily Cook, oversees the growth and sale of the farm’s organic produce. “So many people think of the health aspects of growing organic, but I think recently people have started to discover the link between organic and environmental protection," said Cook. “Especially here on this farm, we have this pristine watershed and we have a responsibility to keep it clean." Director of Farm Operations, Michael Clune, follows the Laphams’ philosophy as well and works to keep the farm land protected for the future of Rappahannock and its residents. “We’ve been active in the local food movement by going to meetings with other farmers in the area and working to link the agricultural community to the conservation community," Martin From Page A1 treatment and that he. “deserves the opportunity to continue in outpatient treatment.” John Martin said that his brother was expecting to be released the week following his death. Sheriff Smith declined to comment on his release date citing an ongoing investigation by the Virginia State FYilice. “This was the first death of an inmate during my 20 year career with the Rappahannock sheriffs office,” said Sheriff Smith. Martin was an area native having gone to schools in both Culpeper and Rappahannock counties, said his brother John. Although he had been “in and out of trouble with the law,” said Martin, he was a “happy-go-lucky” person who liked to garden and cook. Clune said. “There are a lot of those groups in the county. We want to demonstrate that there's a lot of common ground there.” CAT SHOW Dulles Expo & Conference Center (On Rt. 28, Bctw««n 1-66 and Rt. 50) September 6 & 7 Saturday 9:30 to 5:00 • Sunday 9:30 to 4:00 Meet "less," currently nominated for a Relly for her appearance on Regis ft Kelly show. !

Moroccan student enjoys life at Wakefield school By Stephen Dakeino Rappahannock NW* Staff Writwr These days tmth and pohtics art' so stretched by hyperbole that the rule to the exception often seems lost. This year, several students from different countries - with different customs and faiths - are attending Wakefield Country Day School in Flint Hill and proving that the rule is often more interesting than what is otherwise so blithely accepted as Hsyar Maourouri - a 17year-old student visiting from Morocco - is a case in point. She is a charming young woman with a bright ” smile and an impish sense of humor. She listens to pop star Avril Lavigne. plays volleyball and basketball, and plans to go to college. She is also Muslim. And although she wears a headscarf' - which she calls 'stylish'* - and modestly covers her arms and kgs. all of this is incident.u to being just a normal teenager like every other student at Wakefield. Asked why she wanted to come to the United States. Maourouri said that she wanted to learn mom about the American people. She went on to explain - with a mischievous smile - that to date her understanding of American youth was from watching the movie. "High School Musical." But she clearly has a serious side as well. As an assignment in her US. government class, she was asked to watch Sen. Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. When asked what she thought, she replied that she thought it Rappahannock N**s Staff RhotaStaphan Daratng PRACTICING: H«j«r Maourouri - a visiting student from Morocco - displays her skills during practice with the Wakefield Country Day School varsity volleyball team. was good, but that she was waiting to hear Sen. John McCain's speech before she made any comparisons. Used to living in a big city - Rabat - the biggest change she mentioned was that it was much harder to get around as she is used to buses and public transportation. Otherwise, she think* the people she has met so far are nice, and as she explained, not very different horn the people in Morocco. She said she has been able to make friends easily - like the entire varsity volleyball team of which she is a team member - and hangs around with Mew Yindeed«>) - a student RCHS varsity football falls to East Hardy, 39-18 By Jessica Boctte The forecast in Rappahannock for Friday evening wn* calling for min. but in Wont Virginia, the weather was far from overcast. The good weather, though, didn't help tht* RappahanntK'k County High School varsity football team's ganu* against East Hardy High School. This was tht* team's first game outside the Bull Hun District and they were in unfamiliar territory. East Hardy's Cougars - in yellow and green - came out ready to play. The Cougars scored first, late in the first quarter, but the Panthers responded quickly with a touchdown by No. 5 Mntt Fletcher. Tht* defense made a fiat* effort - lt*d by No. f>7 Matt Adams with several tackles - but East Hardy managed to push past the Panther hope for the Panthers after No. 24 Josh Frye scored. After a time out by the Panthers, No. 14 Chris Cooper scored Rappahannock's last touchdown of the game, dragging two hmky East Hardy players with him into the end zone. In the end. however, the score favored East Hardy 3918. Asked how this game might offect his strategy Couch Bob Cxoknj stated, "My strategy hasn't chtmged at all...we just need to execute better." After the gome, the players didn't seem too discouraged and knew what they had to do to improve for the next game. Jennica Boutte, 16, of Huntly in on intern at the Rappahannoek Newn.

Fur some reason, she has a fascination with ketchup, and ~ as her host mother Tammy Vemick tells it - puts it on everything . . . except donuts which have turned out to be her new favorite American food. She has been asked iby a boy of course) if she has to wear her head scarf everyday * even when she is placing on the volleyball team. She said that, despite this minor cultural difference, no one at the school has treated her any differently from the others. Very poignantly she said about her home and culture: “We're not very* ditto rent. We are iue an open people. It' I'm wearing a seart that doesn't mean fm different or that l‘m thinking something else.. Tm normal, like everybody here “ High school in America is not so different tram primary school in Morocco - where she would have been a senior this year - but that students select an area of specialty much sooner, sort of like a mt\jor in college. She also said she thought Americans take spurts much more senously over here. What is not the same*, however. is the disciplined regimen she adheres to in observance of the holy month of Ramadan.

Countryside Benita Rauda Gowen’s ‘New Directions’ opens Sept. 5 By Barbara Hkujs Special to the Rappahannock News Bonita Raudn Gowen's vibrantly colored watercolora of flower* and landscaped are well known to many in Rappahannock County Last year she began an intuitive exploration of color and form in collage. This exploration had given ibrm to new work in a dhow which opena on Sept. 5 at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington. An opening reception tbr the artiet wifi take place Sept. 6 from 36pm. The public id invited. "New Directione" id a powerfril dhow. Gowen followed an inner direction to arrange color and forma purely by feeling her way into the work. These collage paintings carry the emotional and intuitive qualities of her personal entry into her own inner world. Mystical. abstract. meditative. buoyant, voluptuous and drenched with color and texture, these new works are a very exciting new expression fbr a seasoned watercolorist. A fluidness of tbrm and clear abstract expression are (bund in the two flower pieces in the show, compositions thut feel strengthened by her inner experiences with the collage work. She found the painting “Dark Tulip" in a dream. The collages began when Gowen participated in Middle Street Gallery's col* luborntion project. Artists in the gallery shared work with one another with an open Invitation to elaborate on each original piece. Gowen says working on Pam Ptttinger’s art “opened some* thing" and gave ner the freedom to continue this kind of work. She followed this direction deep into color. Painting tissue papers to use in the collages, she began using yams from her years of creative knitting to give her the use of line and continued the layering process with various richly textured and dne thbrics. Her experience with design was given a non-re terential lead and she began to play. The results are breathtaking. “Woven Dreams T is a diptych collage of boldly feminine forms and colors. “Exuberant Flowers," a Japanese paper collage with acrylic and watercolor, explodes with color and design. Women's faces appear in many of the collages, non verbal signs expressing ownership of this deeply feminine work. Having trusted her new directions, Benito's present work is strong and beautifUl. The show runs through Sept. 28 and is also open by appointment by calling the artist at B40-87B-2H63. Jack Frazier opens new exhibit ■Bl ■ ' ------ 'Summer Hike' evokes memories of many treks Jack Frazier made in the woods with his sons. By Richard Lykkh Special to the Rappahannock Newa One of the Piedmont's most prolific and versatile painters, abstract artist Jack Frazier, who is 80 years young, is open* Ing his 11th one-man show on Sept. 6 at the Packing Shed Gallery in “Little" Washington. A reception will be held at the gallery from 2-5 p.m. Although most noted for his unusually colorful ubstructs, this show is dedicated to “Landscape Impressions.” These paintings grew out of his experiences over the lust few months hiking with his two sons—avid outdoorsmen. There are plentiful examples in the show of landscape impressions that evoke the Piedmont tut well um others that illustrate the Chesapeake Bay area. Each pointing developed in Frasier's imagination starts with a center of interest that lends the viewer to appreciate Frasier's great sense of colors and his incredible ability to use them in nn harmonious composition. It is hard to view or write ubout Frazier’s exhibits without gushing enthusiusm. In addition to puinting for his own pleasure, Frazier has completed commissioned paintings of Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Theodore Roosevelt.

RAAC starts movie season with romantic comedy By Claudia Mitchell Special to the Rappahannock New* The Rappahannock Association for the Arte and the Community kick* off its Friday Night at the Moviee aerie* on Sept. 5 with a romantic comedy “Mine Pettigrew Movi« Ravlcw Live* for a Day. —start* at 8 p.m., at The Theatre on Gay Street in Washington. This tittle him has a great cast, beautiful sets, gorgeous costumes and an interesting story line. Somehow, though, I can not think of Amy Adams (‘'Enchanted*') as a scamp (to put it politely) who sleeps hdr way to the top in 1939 London. Miss Adams plays Delysia Lofosse, on American movie actress living in London who has grabbed onto the fast paced glamorous world of movies and stage. She has the fabulous clothes of the period and stays in an over* the-top penthouse (think gilded Sphinx. Art Deco furniture, Fred Astaire staircase) owned by her nightclub-owning boyfriend. Nick Colderelli (Mark Strong), But when the him opens she just happens to have spent the night there with a young, rakish Phil Goldman (Tbm Payne) whom she hopes will cast her in the starring role of the stage play being produced by his father. Into this pink satin with marabou feathers world plods Guinevere Pettigrew played by Academy award-winning actress Frances McDortnand The down on her luck Miss ffettigrew, wearing her only possessions, is a study in drab: brown hat over mousy hair, brown coot over brown dress, brown shoes and support hose. What happens in the next 24 hours is a fantasy we just have to accept. Clocks reign supreme on the Sets ticking away at the 24 hours in the lives of Miss fVttigrew ami all of the characters she h*comes involved with ns she magically solves all of their romantic problems. Although the characters don't know it, the day just happen* to be the day England will declare war nnd WWII shirts. (iblivious to The i RAAC MOVIE: Guinevere Pettigrew played by Academy award-winning actress Frances McDo'rmand, left, and Oelysia Lafosse, played by Amy Adams appear in a scene from 'Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day.' what is coming .they live out their buck-stubbing, potty, jealous, conniving world trying to trump ouch other in thoir grub for happiness, stardom and riches but not necessarily in that order. One of my favorite characters to despise is deliciously devilish, Edvthe Dubary, played by Shirley Henderson. With claws out and ready to pounce, she steuls her every scene. Mtuiy of the characters are played by actors you recognize immediately but you just can’t remember from where. A great character actor, Ciaran Hinds (There Will be Bliss!;" "Margot at the Wedding") plays the love interest of Ms. Dubary. You just hope he’ll wake up before she gets her daws into him. Her description of him at the cocktail party/'ho's the old one." sums her up. Add the love triangle*s> of smarmy nightclub owner Nick, naughty Delysia. and old boy friend Michael < lee Pace). Miss iVttigrew has enough problems to solve to fill a year. But as the clocks tick on, we know she only gets a day! And in this romantic, farcical comedy that's enough. Tickets are $8 adults, $4 students and $.'J children under 10. "Miss iVttigrew" m rated l’(* Id and runs for I hour. '\l minutes Come in. sit back and relax. It’s just a farce. Shakespeare’s ‘Henry V’ comes to The Theatre By Wknijy Wkinbkhm Special to the HappHh«urus*ik Now# Willium Shake# peure's Henry V comet) to the Theatre tit Washington. Virginia, tor two performances: Saturday, Sept. 13, at M p.m. and Sunduy, Sept. 14 at 2:30 p.m. The pmduetion it* part of the annual tour of the United States by students than Cambridge University American Stuge Tour (CAS'D, which hue its roots in the ADC Theatre - the oldest student theutre in the U.K. This will be the group's fifth production in "Little'’ Washington and follow# the successful 2007 tour of Twelfth Night which was performed at The Theatre last fall. The students briefly describe the plot of Henry V this way: "A tale of conspiracy und betrayal, of royalty and treachery, of romance and conquests, and of tennis balls. This dynamic and dramatic production makes you question where heroism ends and immorality begins.” The director of this production notes that he "decided to place the play in a modern setting and this is to try and draw attention to the accessibility and universal relevance of Shakespeare's work, but not to draw any direct parallel# to specific examples of modem conflicts. The war in Henry V is between England and France in the 15th century, and that is how it shall remain. The play is. in some respects, about ‘growing up.’ (Henry is a man reborn from wild youth to ideul king) and rising to the challenges of adult .hood. This is an issue which we all face, and one which I felt could be highlighted by the modem sotting arid it also makes it pertinent that these rol««# are being adopted by students.

The Prison Within’ opens at The Six Pack Gallery During the month of September the Six Pack Gallery in “Little* Washington will present “The Prison Within," an installation by Steven Kenny.
