Rappahannock News, April 2, 2009

131st Year ... No. 14 Washington, Va. (540) 675'3338 www.rappnews.com 50 <t THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2009 Rappahannockers pitch proposals for federal stimulus money By Stephen Dareing Rappahannock News Staff Writer In just four short weeks, Virginians have come up with ways to spend $466 billion in stimulus money. Some 9,160 projects have been submitted to Governor Tim Kaine. And Rappahannockers aren’t about to be left out. They have submitted 35 projects totaling $277 million to the www.stimulus.virginia.gov Web site set up by Gov. Kaine in early February. That’s 13 times the annual budget of the county. However, to be fair, two projects received multiple nominations: The Town of Washington’s wastewater project and Countywide Internet broad band. Then there were two gargantuan proposals of $100 million each submitted with Rappahannock as the location. One is for road repairs and one for giving teachers across the state a salary increase. It was also proposed that the budget of the Wise County Sheriffs office be increased by $35 million. How it ended up See STIMULUS, Page A10 Rappahannock News Staff Photo Stephen Dare<ng NEW ADDITION?: An addition to the Sperryville Fire House is one of several projects submitted to www. stimulus.virgima.gov for potential stimulus funding. Sewer ordinance passes but not without some rancor By Stephen Dareing Rappahannock News StaffWriter The Washington Town Council at last Wednesday’s meeting passed unanimously the much debated and criticized sewer ordinance, service district and easement agreement in another tiring session which lasted nearly four hours. In the end, the one section which had caused so much anxiety - Section 5, paragraph D - which had allowed for council to make fractional assessments at its discretion, was removed. Inn at Little Washington attorney David Fiske was still not happy with the service district ordinance or easement agreement and suggested that if terms were not agreeable to his client, that he would be prepared to take the town to court. “What you are passing, if we don't agree, we go to court,” said Fiske saying the ordinance gave the council and its legal counsel the right to make “declaratory judgments” if people did not agree to the easement terms. “I have never had a problem negotiating easement agreements,” countered town attorney John Bennett in another round of sparring that has flared up at previous meetings. “But this could be the first.” “Things will get real ugly, real fast,” replied Fiske. “I would want council to build in some protection besides going to court." Council member John Sullivan, however, had clearly had enough. “Every time there’s talk about a lawsuit, our friends at the paper print that,” Sullivan said. “At the end of the day, you legal gentlemen will figure out how to solve this. Suing each other doesn’t make a lick of sense,” he said. Many issues raised during the hearing were the same ones that had come up repeatedly in past meetings - mostly about fairness and liability for damages. Even while the planning commission was voting on its recommendation to council for the three items - sewer ordinance, service district ordinance and easement agreement - there was still debate among the members and from the audience. When the council was finally able to vote, all three passed unanimously but unceremoniously. People were tired, and most started drifting out after the sewer ordinance was passed. Sullivan gave a short presentation on where the council See SEWER, Page A9 Rappahannock News P.O.

The birth of five kids to a single female goat is considered unusual. By Stephen Dakking Rappahannock News Staff Writer Spurning , fertility treatments and HMDs, a local goat gave birth March 19 to five kids., baby goats them are. Dennis and Barbara King of Second Wind Farm off of Slate Mills Road, are the proud owners of the new Nubian goats. King said he went out one day and left the expecting goat in a barn stall. When he returned, he saw two kids suckling at momma - which would have been normal. Then he looked over and saw three more snuggled up in a corner of the stall sound asleep. The quintuplet birth is very unusual said King and other goat breeders. Usually goats give birth to one to three kids at a time. King said he keeps a small dairy herd (of goats', and likes to make cheese. They also raise sheep, chickens, geese and turkeys. There is a small herd of Cashmere goats. A few Llamas art* on hand to keep the coyotes away. All of this started about six years ago when the Kings moved from Clifton. Va., to Rappahannock County. King had been running a photography business which he startixl up after his retirement form the Central Intelligence Agency. In addition to making cheese, they produce goat's milk and butter. Later this year, King is heading off to See GOATS, Page A10 Resignations rock ‘Relay5 By Jed Duvall Special to the Rappahannock News As the “Relay For Life" approaches - it is five weeks from this Saturday - the Rappahannock branch of the American Cancer Society has been rocked by resignations. At least six women - a quarter of the governing board of the Rappahannock branch - have quit. Some say they are “burned out." Others object to what they see as a sharply unbalanced distribution of funds raised by the overnight walking program, the “Relay," which is conducted to raise money for cancer research. The official name of the local unit is the Rappahannock County Leadership Council of the American Cancer Society. In January of this year, members Delma Bagley, Bev Atkins and Bette Mahoney resigned. So did Evelyn Latham. Diana Corbin also has resigned. Another member, Georgia Gilpin later resigned. Asked what effect the resignations will have on this year's “Relay" scheduled lor May 9 and 10 the executiv e director of the cancer society for the western half of Virginia, Daphne DePuy Turner said. “Nothing . . we are going to miss (those people) but we now have a group of volunteers committed to putting this on. “Fourteen or fifteen teams," she said, are already signed up for the Relay next month and she thinks the number mayreach 20 or more. Carolyn Leake of Chester Gap is one of the mainstays in the fight against cancer in Rappahannock County. She is enthusiastic about sticking with the cancer society and working on the Relay. Asked about the resignations, she said “1 am not sure what the problems are....a lot of us are burned out." adding, “sometimes we have to just lay aside our differences and do what has to be done." Those who left the Rappahannock group complained of “burnout" and suggested that the event be held every other year instead of each year, as is the case now. Delma Bagley said that “committee members were tired, burned out, affected, just like everyone else, by the economic difficulties" being experienced “We just," she added, “wanted to take a bye.” Asked about the suggestion of skipping a year, executive director Turner said "cancer doesn't take a year off" She also acknowledged that the “burnout" that some women feel is not uncommon. There is, she said, "turnover on a regular basis" in local groups throughout Virginia. Turner did not address the question of just how widespread the problem is in Virginia, The public relations officer for the society in Virginia. Dominic Casuceio, said in a telephone interview, “1 wouldn't call it a problem.” He added. "It is not unusual to the American Cancer Society" to have volunteers move on to other projects. It is See RELAY. Page A8 Volunteers needed to repair fence at Civil War gravesite By Judy Tole Special to the Rappahannock News The Albert Gallatin Willis grave at Flint Hill Baptist Church is part of Park Day, a nationwide event sponsored by the Civil War Preservation Trust and the History Channel, in conjunction with Take Pride in America and the Rappahannock Historical Society on Saturday, April 4. The Willis grave and other sites like it need your help. Maintaining and keeping them in good condition is a rewarding, but time-consuming, job. Moreover, the task of improving these sites to make them more accessible and more informative to the public is an ongoing process. There is much work to be done at our country's Civil War sites. April 4 is a day for volunteers to come and help reverse the wear and tear on these sites. We hope people will give back to their community and help keep America’s Civil War heritage alive and well. It is through the preservation of sites like the Willis grave that our nation recalls and honors the heritage' of its darkest hour. Millions of Americans visit Civil War parks, monuments, and museums every year. Doug Nichols, who erected the fence surrounding the Willis grave as his Eagle Project many years ago, will be on hand to lead the project. Piersons interested in helping or making a donation lor materials to repair the fence around the gravesite should contact .Judy Tole at the Rappahannock Historical Society at 540-675-1163 or rapphist8<x<«eomcast. net. Volunteers will meet at the Flint Hill Baptist Church at 10 a m. to help with the project. Rain date is April 5 at 1 p m

In a competition dominated by California wine entries, Gray Ghost won on both wines entered. The 2007 Reserve Chardonnay and 2007 Adieu both took Bronze at the competition held January in San Francisco. The San Francisco competition is the largest competition of American wines in the world. Founded in 1983, this year’s competition garnered over 4,700 entries from 1,500 wineries across the country. Gray Ghost also medaled for the 10th consecutive year in California’s Grand Harvest Awards held in February. The Reserve Chardonnay and Ranger Reserve both took Bronze medals in categories containing stiff California competition, with over 1,600 entries. Gray Ghost’s Reserve Chardonnay and Adieu were the only Virginia wines awarded at the Florida State Fair International Wine Competition also held last month. Virginia’s Annual Governor’s Cup Wine Competition also awarded these two wines Bronze medals. Corrections • In last week's story about an incident at the March 21 Piedmont races, attending veterinarian Dr. Ian Harrison was misquoted. Harrison said that foxhunters' timber winner Quick Line “likely suffered a ruptured dorsal aorta,” not a heart attack, at the finish line before he veered to the right into the tailgating section, injuring four spectators. Harrison later explained that a ruptured dorsal aorta has a very different connotation in veterinary terminology. • A photo caption in the March 26 edition about Alisha Stanley’s winning entry in the RCPS Art Show should have read: Alisha Stanley won best-in-show in the Middle School, three-dimensional art division, grades 6 and 7 at the show held on March 19.

Since then, he has produced, written and directed the film “Gods and Generals,” the pre-quel to “Gettysburg." At the seminar Maxwell spoke about the making of both movies.

Social Security recipients to receive $250 recovery payment m DAVID d. MELTON Special to the Rappahannock News The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which President Obama signed into law in February, provides for a one-time payment of $250 to people receiving Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. The one-time recovery payments will go out in May and all payments should be received by the end of May. In April, Social Security will send a letter with additional information to each person who is eligible for the onetime payment. The payments will be sent automatically, meaning no action is required on the part of the person receiving benefits. The economic recovery payments will be made separately from a persons regular monthly payments. All adults who receive Social Security benefits, including disabled adult children (but not minor children) are eligible for the $250 payment. In addition, all persons who receive SSI payments, including minor children, are eligible for the payment. Anyone who receives benefits or who was eligible to receive benefits during any of the three months prior to enactment (November and December of 2008 and January 2009) will receive the onetime payment as long as the address of record is in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, or the Northern Mariana Islands. The payments will be made in the same way that regular monthly payments are made. People with direct deposit will receive their payments electronically. Those who receive paper checks will receive their payments in the mail. People who receive regular payments through the Direct Express debit card will receive their one-time payments through the card. If someone receives both Social Security and SSI, only one payment of $250 will be made. The economic recovery legislation also provides for a one-time payment to recipients of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) benefits. However, if you receive Social Security or SSI benefits and you also Bowl-For-Seniors event May 30 » By Jane Clatterbuck Special to the Rappahannock News The 2nd Regional BowlFor-Seniors event will be held at Mountain Run Bowling Center in the Culpeper Town Mall in Culpeper on Saturday, May 30, from 12 noon - 4 p.m. This is a five-county event, encompassing Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.rappnews.com THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2009 Cats Animals seem to strike a passionate chord in the hearts of many county residents that goes beyond the simple pleasure of household pets. We do not like to imagine animals suffering, but as is often the case, out of sight, out of mind. Rappahannock County has a ‘no-kill shelter’ for dogs. The Rappahannock Animal Welfare League has done a stellar job, caring for abandoned and stray dogs, finding new homes for them, and ensuring that their reproductive activity is halted. But they don’t shelter cats. Rappahannock is, and remains, the only county in Virginia without a cat shelter. Last year, Franklin and Esther Schmidt and a group of concerned residents, started RappCats, a non-profit, all volunteer cat rescue organization. They were concerned about the growing number of stray and feral cats in the county. A friend had come by with three starving kittens and asked, “What do I do with these?” There was no place to call, no where to go, no way to help the kittens. RappCats has attempted to educate residents about the problem, help with sterilization, and find homes for some of the cats. But RappCats is not a shelter, and despite the Schmidts’ and others’ efforts, the problem is still significant. It is hard to contemplate more spending in these difficult times, but leaving the problem to fester is not really an option either. Cats can spread disease, they continue to increase in population and can be nuisances. We think it is time for the Board of Supervisors, RappCats and concerned residents to begin a dialogue about finding ways to fund and build a cat shelter.

Did I see an editorial as a front page news story in the Rappahannock News (March 26)? In “County Explores Economic Development,” Stephen Dareing writes, “To promote only business that ‘maintains' farming is a little strange when by far the largest industry employing county residents is construction, according to the 2000 census.” A little strange? Later he writes, “So how is a comprehensive plan written around 17 percent of the working population going to accommodate the other 83 percent in new job growth in the county?” OK, we get the message. Stephen Dareing wants to see more “growth” in Rappahannock County. His opinions however, should be on the editorial page. But to his points. If Mr. Dareing is relying on census data from 2000 his underlying facts are questionable at best. Furthermore, in the second quote he makes the extraordinary assumption that 100 percent of the resident population of Rappahannock County desires or even needs employment within Rappahannock County. On what does he base that, his own private poll? Mr. Dareing, like many progrowth advocates, makes the classic mistake of assuming that citizens of Rappahannock County live in a vacuum. News flash. We don’t. If we want jobs we can find them in our neighboring counties, none more than 20 minutes away, with most enjoying the so-called benefits of unbridled, unlimited, nearly unregulated growth. Rappahannock County’s comprehensive plan wisely limits growth to businesses associated with agriculture and tourism. If it hadn't, this county would long ago have suffered the fate of its neighbors. The larger the population the greater the demand on a host of public services and the greater the increase in property taxes. Haven’t we learned anything by watching the surrounding communities? What’s wrong with a 20 or even 40 minute commute? Most Americans commute to work an average of 30 minutes each way. This is what it boils down to. Seeking to stretch county rules by inviting industries outside of agriculture and tourism will enrich a few at the expense of the many and will change this beautiful and unique place for the worse. Furthermore, as we can see with our own eyes, development and “growth" in surrounding counties has spelled economic doom for agriculture as industry brings population which brings housing which forces land prices up which pressures farmers to sell and move out. Now, why would we want that to happen here'.’ Mr. Dareing. we don’t need a bigger school system, bigger police forces and bigger county government. We don't need traffic lights, congestion and crime. Enjoy the place in which you live and support its agriculture and tourism. That's where the real growth should take place. Karen Hochstetter Flint Hill ‘I am proud of the Catholic Church’ Mr. Jim Hahn’s characterization of the Catholic Church lacks understanding < Rappahannock News, March 26). The Roman Catholic Church was established by Jesus Christ Himself. The roles of priests and hierarchy reflect the roles of the 12 apostles, all men, selected by Christ to carry on His work and to teach all nations. It is a tradition that the church continues to follow because it was established bv God Throughout history there have been scandals and evils perpetrated from within the church and toward the church. Still, it stands strong and continues to grow. As Our Lord said to Peter, “You are Rock,' and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Matt.16: 18l Thus, the Catholic Church has not changed significantly for over two thousand years in its organization, its mission, or its doctrine. It is difficult to determine how anyone can improve on the example and teaching of Christ. The church has come under fire recently as “irrelevant” and “behind the times." 1 look at modern society and 1 see epidemics of AIDS. STDs on the rise, abortion and infanticide funny encouraged, the ubiquitous objectification of women, rampant divorce rates, and the dissolution of the family. That is the face of modern social progress and the fruit of what the world deems as “equality.” 1 am proud of the Catholic Church and its refusal to back down or apologize for its staunch commitment to truth, which is unchanging and eternal, and to the traditions instituted by Jesus ('hrist. Regina II. Knight Washington More letters on Page A5 Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO April 10,1969 Trout fishermen were out in great numbers Saturday for the opening of the trout fishing season which began at noon. According to Game Warden Irvin Kenyon, Jr., this was the largest turnout of sportsmen for several years. Families combined picnicking, fishing and hiking for a relaxing day together. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lillard of Rapidan were among the people completing the adult education classes held recently at Rappahannock County High School. The Lillards were enrolled in carving classes and were very apt students as can be ascertained from the many items large and small which they crafted. Mr. and Mrs. Lillard joined their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Poling of Amissville for the classes. Mr. Poling was enrolled in the furniture refinishing and repair section where he did some small pieces for his antique shop. Page Moffett, 1966 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, now in the third year at the University of Virginia, has been elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Phi Beta Kappa, founded at the college of William and Mary in 1776, is the oldest Greek-letter society of the American colleges and membership is conferred on students of high scholastic standing in the upper classes.. 25 YEARS AGO March 29,1984 The Old Dominion Point-to-Point, sixth race meeting and mid-event of the Virginia Spring Steeplechase Circuit, will be run April 7 at Ben Venue Farm. Thanks to the generosity of Thomas L. and Louise King East ham, the Old Dominion Foint-to-Point goes off annually at the farm. Louise Eastham and Barbara Wayland presented the trophy to Patti Cassel, owner-rider of Splashy Lea and winner of the 1983 Ben Venue Ladies' Race. The price of the RCHS renovation project would go up $467,302 if the new gymnasium is built of bricks and mortar, according to figures supplied by the project architect. At their request, superintendent Robert Estabrook brought figures to School Board members last week to show how much more a brick building would cost. The current project proposal calls for a pre-fabricated metal building estimated to cost $521,684. The outside would be faced w ith brick to a height of eight feet. Rappahannock High School senior Ann Oliver has won the state DAK good citizen award. She received the state medal and a $100 educational award at a breakfast in Roanoke e*arlier this month during the annual conference of Virginia's Daughters of the American Revolution. 10 YEARS AGO March 31,1999 Mrs. Katherine Bull turned the first clod of earth in a brief Palm Sunday ceremony at the Trinity Church, which will symbolize the beginning of what will eventually be a lovely new garden on the Middle Street side of the church. It is the aim of the Guild to trans form the present eyesore into an area of beauty and tranquility in the hearifflf the village and a source of pleasure to all who pass by or through it. In 19)14, a pound of "good cow round' sold at Hackley's Store in Amissville for 10 cents. There isn't any “gin*! cow round" for sale at the newly reopened store, but it does offer a freshly painted, orderly, inviting place full of dry goods, hardware, groceries and hand dipped ice cream.

Folks ‘came through with flying colors’ to support band program Thanks once again to the generous folks in this community who, on Saturday evening, March 21 at the Rappahannock County Elementary School, came through with flying colors to support our Panther Band program at a coffee house and spaghetti dinner fundraiser. Am I surprised? Certainly not. It happens time and again, but this time was completely overwhelming. The crowd just kept growing and growing, twice as many as ever before. And the food just kept disappear ing, much faster than anticipated. But the audience, content with being entertained by some of Rappahannock’s best and most talented musicians, continued throughout the evening to be generous in spirit as well as giving. Our performers were also amazing throughout the full, wonderful evening ending with the Jazz Band directed by Dave DeBoer after 10 p.m. We are incredibly grateful to all of our performers who patiently waited through a very long evening for their turn to perform - George Banks, Donald Chandler, Dr. Bob Chappell, Nick Dorosheff Anders Drew, Lorraine Duisit, Janet Dunn, Dennis Fairbrother, Jessa Frye, Dave Gillis, Robert Glasker, Wes Gray, Dontez Harris, Gary Holmes, Miranda Hope, Brenda Jefferies, Rick Kohler, Dan Lewis, James Orange, Brooke Parkhurst, Johnny Pierce, Steve Pratt, Bill Rechin, Joe Rechin, Bob Shaffer, Charlie Sheads, Brian Taylor, Bob Treanor, Monica Worth and Debbie Zinn. Many students gave stellar performances throughout the evening as well including Ryan Benyo, Morgan Cloud, Evan Espinola, Cory Garnett, Jon Hale, Taylor Light. Beth Martin, Vickie Padgett, Heidi Rechin and Matt Terry, in addition to the RCHS Jazz Band. We apologize for any oversights. Businesses and individuals donated a variety of items to the cause for wh ich we are grateful: Amissville Nursery (Connie and Paul Payne); B & B Service Center (Tom Bourne); Burgers ‘n Things (Stefanie Shaw); Country Cafe (David Huff); Felton Jewelers (Darlene ‘Show your support... to those who are still fighting this fight’ I am a member of the Rappahannock County Relay For Life. My reason to relay: In the past couple of years my family and I have come to the realization that cancer is going to hit straight forward and hard whereever it wants. My mother Joyce Kenney, battled pancreatic cancer for 10 years and in her last months, lung cancer. She was a real fighter, strong and positive about her experience with this disease. Walking her lap at the relay’s survivors’ walk was a real privilege for her. She held her head high with a smile on her face, because she knew that she was fighting a good fight...but on Jan. 2. 2008 we lost her to this battle. My nephew, Andrew Kenney, 23 years old, diagnosed with melanoma sarcoma in mid-February 2007, fought with all that he had in him - strength, a positive attitude, will to live. Then in mid-April 2007 we lost him to this battle with cancer. Andrew and his “memaw” lost the battle but they didn't lose the war because they are together in a place where cancer is no more. Cancer doesn’t know youth, ambition, love or dreams, nor does it understand a bad economy. If you can spare a few hours on May 9 at 4 p.m. it would be great to see you at the Rappahannock Relay. Come out and show your support and compassion to those who are still fighting this fight. Let them know - they are not alone.

Mahoney reported that the unit raised some $63,000 this past year. By the calculations of Mahoney and others who resigned, Rappahannock generally raises eight to 10 doliars per capita across the county each year compared to one to two dollars per capita raised in neighboring Fauquier County. Executive Director Turner did not dispute that calculation, adding “the people in Rappahannock have been doing a terrific job." Does that much value come back to the people of Rappahannock County, to its cancer victims? Turner said in an interview that “over a hundred percent of it comes back in terms of value to the community.” She listed a number of activities and benefits that the cancer society in general provides to cancer victims. Told that Turner considers that more than a hundred percent of money raised comes back to the county, Latham thought for a moment and said: “I would say none” of it does.

Shirley Ave, Warrenton, VA Licensed • insured • Bonded INSPIRING CROWD: The Relay for Life event, held each year on the grqunds of the Rappahannock County Elementary School on Route 211 near Little Washington, always includes colorful activities like the releasing of balloons to celebrate life. This year’s relay is May 9 and 10. estimate: “None of that money is staying in the community.” In a letter responding to Mahoneys resignation, Turner expressed thanks for Mahoney’s service. The official also listed ways in which 15 cancer patients in Rappahannock County had been assisted during the fiscal year 2007-08. The list includes trans portation assistance to three patients, gasoline cards for two more, a “gift” for one, “information and guidance” provided to 11 patients by telephone, and three who were reimbursed for mileage. Turner also noted that “countless numbers of Rappahannock residents accessed the Web site and found lifesaving informa Have You Heard about the Amazing EcoSharpTM Home Evaluation that Could SLASH Your Energy Bills Up to 34% AND Stop Your Roofs STAGGERING Case of Premature Aging???

Said Latham, “The work of the Council was unappreciated, its service (considered) unimportant.” One sore spot for those who resigned is remembering that another cancer society official, Julie Overbaugh of the Winchester office, expressed “displeasure at our poor performance in raising funds.” The women who have left the council still feel a great connection and a love for those who are working on the Relay and in the battle against cancer, and will continue to serve in some fashion in Rappahannock. Their gripe is with regional, full-time paid officials of the society who work in Winchester and Roanoke. They said they don’t like the wav orders are given to volunteers. Evelyn Latham is still on her Relay Team. She wants to help. She wants people in Rappahannock to get support and help, and will continue to volunteer her time toward that end.

Sewer From Page A1 was in terms of applying for additional funding. There were two applications made, both to the Department of Environmental Quality; one related to federal stimulus money, the other not. There was also a short discussion about applying for grant money through the Department of Agriculture, but that the town had to demonstrate certain income requirements. On the face, the town’s income would appear to disqualify it from these grants. However, there was discussion about circulating a questionnaire through a third party to ascertain just how much income people had. There has been talk that many people were property rich, but cash poor - mainly elderly and retirees. The council also agreed to place an ad in the Rappahannock News soliciting a grant writer who could help households complete individual grant applications. Sewer Timetable • April 3 - Signed waiver must be returned to Laura Dodd at Town Hall for those property owners who wish not to have their names and sewer assessment fees published in the Rappahannock News. • April 8 - Regularly scheduled town council meeting to discuss project progress and procedures for anyone disputing assessment fees.

Stimulus From Page A1 ■* under Rappahannock County is anybody’s guess. This project is also listed as “shovel ready.” One man, a Mr. Bryant Burill, suggested that the state invest a mere $250,000 in his home-based business to “help increase profits.” Removing the Wise County sherifF s payroll increase, the funding for teachers across the state, and the duplicate projects, the requests come in at a more reasonable $26 million. Of the five broadbam proposals, county administra tor John McCarthy’s was th< least expensive at $350,000, i bargain basement price com pared to the highest one sub mitted by Mark Outten (on gin unknown) for $7 million although this proposal said i Who do you turn to when you’re facing the toughest challenge in life? “We never mumned we wnikl need hiryice" "Put we jr si1 tbvmktul \xm were there.

Dr. Chappell was one of the very first to submit proposals for the stimulus money for the repair and upgrade of school facilities including a new ceiling insulation. asbestos removal, and a new roof for the elementary school. The three requests - submitted by Pat Giles, Michelle Schwartz and JC Platt - for Town of Washington sewer funding essentially ask to cover the sewer hook-up fees due to economic hardship. Emergency services coordinator Richie Burke asked for $250,000 for an addition to the Spenyville fire house. There was also a submission to create a “Solar Electric Cooperative” in the Rappahannock region to install solar electric systems in low income households. Cost: $5 million. And lastly, a hefty faithbased initiative, $2.5 million, for “clean tech jobs,” ( whatever those are, it was unclear in the description.) There were smaller proposals also for things like educational programs, a regional literary magazine, and commemorating the Civil War Sesquicentennial. The cutoff for stimulus requests was early March. Goats From Page1 A1 Vermont to take a cheesemaking class - he's already been once - to learn how to make hard Italian cheese from goat’s milk. The sheep are raised mostly for wool - Barbara is a “fiber artist" who spins, knits, and weaves the wool they gather. King also sells some of the lambs for butchering. It was curious to see the Llamas actually standing guard around the herds of both sheep and goats, and in the warm sunny afternoon of an early spring day this week, the kids really do bound about and play. If one gets too separated from momma, he or she cries out For her. The lambs, on the other hand, just follow momma around or lounge in the sun. In a touching aside. King pointed out another mother who had lost her kid, helping to nurse the five of the other mother. King's chickens and geese are also productive. One g(x>se was sitting on 12 eggs, and the chickens lay about three to four dozen per day which he sells fresh to local B&Bs. All of it is on a neatly kept farm on a hillside with a stunning view of Old Rag and the Blue Ridge behind. King recently built a new turkey house and plans to raise more turkeys this year for'Hianksgiving and Christmas. Early spring is lambing season, and. no joke, kidding season too. King said he breeds them in Novemlier so that when they are born, there is plenty of fresh green grass for them to eat.

Countryside Section B • Classifieds/B5-B6 April 2, 2009 www.rappnews.com Ansel Lauben, Jack Gilliam, Jackson Seaborn, Max P. Packwood, Cole Romine and Alex Phillippe. Edward Benton is knighted by Marc Cugnon. Matthieux Roger, Channing Entrican and Gena Boice in the “Castle Wakefield Maze." By Amanda Stultz Special for the Rappahannock News Wakefield Country Day School in Flint Hill buzzed with excitement March 26 leading up to the annual Medieval Banquet, a time-honored tradition at the school showcasing the studies of the Middle Ages for grades 3, 7 and 8. Students, their parents and siblings, and Wakefield faculty and staff, attended the evening event in full and glorious medieval costumes. All day a “beast” roasted over hot charcoal as swords, shields, costumes and trenchers entered the building in preparation for jousting, knightings and court antics. The pages (third graders), squires (seventh graders) and lords and ladies (eighth graders) also enjoyed the many pavilions of crafts, foods and displays of armor and weapons that were set up in the school gym. They were also treated to a mystery maze in the dungeon of the castle. After a blessing in Latin, platters of medieval foods provided the feast-goers with cheeses, meat pastries, turkey, beef, ham, venison meatballs, deviled eggs, pickles, and breads, all eaten with hands on trenchers. Families and children enjoyed the antics of the court as they feasted in the Great Hall. Above, Marc Cugnon and Henry Johnson-quarterstaff contest. At left, Beatrice Youngquist. At right.

Rich with the flavor and variety of human life, “Under Milkwood” reveals the doings of such vivid village characters as: • Mrs. Ogmore-Pritchard who relentlessly bosses her two dead husbands and demands an impossibly immaculate house of all who would dan1 to enter it; • Butcher Beynon who teases his hysterical wife that he’s just cut up some cats to sell in his butcher shop and intends the next day to slice up a pair of Welsh corgies; • Mog Edwards, the draper, and Myfawnwy Price, the sweetshop ow'ner, who can only declare their passion for each other in their letters and their dreams but never ever one inch closer, • Old, blind Captain Cat who remembers all his crew members who were lost at sea but especially remembers his old lost love, Rosie I’robert; • Organ Morgan who goes through life hearing nothing and nobody but the greatest of all composers, Johann Sebastian Bach; • Mr. {‘ugh, schoolmaster, who secretly delights in his dreams of poisoning his extremely disagreeable wife; • Polly Garter, earthy lover of fnen and babies, who is of course gossiped about bv all the other women in the village; • The Rev. Eli Jenkins who rises early every morning with a new poem he has composed in honor pf his beloved village of Milk wood. And that’s not all—then* an* more" than 50 characters in “Under Milkwood." They will be* depicted by only 13 actors performing this play as a staged reading. The cast includes Andy Platt, Sallie Morgan, Stephanie Mastri, Mike Mahoney, Sharon Kilpatrick, Peter Hombostel, Patty Hardee. Margaret Gottlieb, Janet Davis, Howard Coon, Austen Cloud. Ralph Bates and Joyce Abell, with C"-v Grossman and Marcia KirkpatncK as understudies. Geoff Gowen will be doing ti\e nch sound effects and Tod Morgan will oversee the lights. Tickets are $15.

Every attempt should be made to avoid giving advice accompanied by the word "should”. Bear in mind that cliches offered in hopes of minimizing grief are simply inappropriate. Supportive fnends should quietly take their cues from those who grieve. We hope you have found this topic to both interesting and informative.

Infant deaths linked to unsafe sleeping conditions By Phil Giaramita Special to the Rappahannock News A recent report by Virginia’s Chief Medical Examiner says that 12 infants died in 2007 as the direct result of an unsafe sleeping practice and as many as 49 other infants died in instances where unsafe sleeping conditions existed. Unsafe conditions are described as babies sleeping in the same bed with an adult or other children, babies sleeping on soft surfaces such as waterbeds, pillows, comforters or couches or babies sleeping in areas that include quilts, comforters, pillows or toys. The report said such conditions can result in suffocation. Overall during the past year, 839 infants died in Virginia and the state’s infant mortality rate of 7.7 deaths per 1,000 live births LEASE OR PURCHASE Sperryville, Rappahannock County “High Thicker 3,800 sq toot furnished home, heated pool, guest house, 5 stall barn, paddocks, riding trails 114 acres wooded/open estate in hunt country Details upon request Contact Douglas K Baumgardner, Attorney 540-675-3617 dkblaw^comcast.net ranks 30th among all states according to America’s Health Ranking, a survey conducted by the United Health Foundation. Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine has made reducing Virginia’s infant mortality rate a public health priority and State Health Commissioner, Karen Remley, M.D., MBA, has called infant mortality Virginia’s “unseen epidemic.” The commissioner recently established a statewide working group on infant mortality, bringing together medical and health professionals, business, community and faith leaders and civic organizations, to develop strategies and actions to reduce the state’s mortality rate. “A majority of infant deaths are preventable if we improve the health and nutrition of pregnant women and if we improve our child care practices,” Commissioner Remley said. “I am hopeful that this report will increase public awareness of the need to make those changes that will save the lives of more babies this year.” The Chief Medical Examiner’s Office reviewed 156 infant deaths in 2007 that fell under its jurisdiction. Of these deaths, 46 were classified as Sudden and Unexpected Infant Death (SUID), meaning that no definitive medical or traumatic cause of death could be established but an associated risk factor, such as unsafe sleeping conditions, was present. Another 41 deaths were classified as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), in which the cause of death remains unexplained despite a thorough investi gation and autopsy performed by the Medical Examiner’s Office. In these instances, there were no associated unsafe sleep practices. The American Academy of Pediatrics has long recommended putting babies to sleep on their backs as a way to reduce SIDS risk. Among the findings of the report: • the majority of the SUID and SIDS deaths involved male babies; • SUID deaths peaked at one month of life, while most SIDS deaths occurred between two and three months of life; and • the highest number of SUID and SIDS deaths were of white infants although black infants had the highest mortality rate. “This is the first year in which we applied the SUID classification statewide for Save 75% discount towards your “Clip & Go” advertising in the paper & our online version, “Click & Go.” Plus get FREE Yard Sale Signs.

Culpeper Times infant deaths,” said Chief Medical Examiner Leah Bush, M.D. “As we continue to develop more precise data that allows us to distinguish SUID cases from SIDS cases, we will be better able to develop and support prevention strategies for these two causes of infant death.” In its report, the study offered some prevention measures that child care providers should follow, including: • always put babies to sleep on his or her back, not his or her stomach; • place babies to sleep in a safety-approved crib (look for a Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association certification label) with a firm tight-fitting mattress and tight-fitting bottom sheet; • never allow babies to sleep on soft surfaces such as waterbeds, sheepskin rugs, pillows or comforters; and • remove quilts, comforters, pillows, and other fluffy bedding and toys from a baby’s sleep areas and use appropriate sleepwear to keep a baby warm.
