The students danced until midnight at "A Formal Affair,” the theme of the prom. Some 141 students and 18 faculty members attended the prom. Principal Adam Burket led the toast to the senior class with sparkling cider at 10 p.m. The anticipated crowning of the king and queen followed. Senior Matt Frye was voted by students to be this year’s Prom King. His date, senior Marie Scavetti. was crowned Prom Queen. Juniors Dane Wellemeyer and Natalie Tupper were presented as Prom Prince and Princess. After the presentation of the prom kine and queen and full court, culinary teacher Mary Arthur's cake in the shape of a top hat was cut and served. A new student band called the “ID" played live music at two performances during the evening. They were received well, and we hope this guest appearance will assist the band into paying gigs in the future. Three RCHS students and See prom and more photos.

The driver escaped without serious injury just before the car burst into flames, according to JB Carter of the Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue. Banks fee-d on procedure, critics claim By Alexandra Bogdanovic Rappahannock News Staff Writer For most bankers, it is simply a matter of doing business as usual. But for their customers, the way checks are processed __ can be inconvenient — ana costly. A Fauquier County business woman who asked that her name not be used said her daughter, a college student, chose to do business with a regional bank with offices in Warrenton because it has branches here and Representatives from other banks, including Rappahannock National Bank, The Fauquier Bank, and PNC, said they process checks the same way. in the state where she goes to school. Because her daughter is a student with limited funds, she had some problems with overdrafts, this Jane Doe said. When she and her daughter went to the bank to find out w'hy, “we found out the transactions weren't processed in the order she made them. The largest one was processed first.” See BANKS, Page A6 Sheriff’s Report Flint Hill resident scam victim Students arrested for dr&g possession, vandalism By Stephen Darejng Rappahannock News Staff Writer An elderly man was the victim of a distraction scam last Thursday in which he was lured from his Flint Hill house by one man while his accomplices entered the house, ransacked it, and took a safe containing a significant amount of money, according to Sheriff Connie Smith. The victim - whose name was not released - was approached by a man saying tl^at his company was doing clearing or excavation work near the man’s house and asked if he would liked to come and inspect it on the premise that he might like to have similar work done on his property. As he wras led to an area away from his house, the victim told investigators that the man spoke into a walkie-talkie in a foreign language. Most likely, said Smith, this was the cue for his accomplices to enter the house. “This type of thing is going on all the time,” said Smith and that it has been happening in surrounding counties also. Lt. Roger Jenkins and Lt. J.C. Welch are investigating the theft. Anyone with information please call the Sheriff’s office at 675-5300. Student crimes The sheriff confirmed ar recent spate of student crimes ranging from drug offenses, to vandalism, to breaking and entering and fights. Last Wednesday there were two fights at Rappahannock County High School, one involving two males in which one was hurt seriously. “There was blood all over the place,” said one student asking to remain anonymous.

Because of the scope of the Certified Humane program, “It was important to us from the beginning that our methods for raising sheep be recognized as humane as we’ve always allowed our sheep to have a full and happy life,” said Alan Zuschlag, co-owner, Rappahannock Farms. Due to his like-mindedness when it came to humane animal treatment, Zuschlag partnered with fellow farm owner Hieronymous (Jerome) Niessen, owner, Stoney Meadows Farm to create the Rappahannock Farms co-op. “Treating our sheep humanely is not only the See FARM, Page A7 ed in anticipation of a fun and trophy-filled weekend. The competitions started on Friday and the awards ceremony was on Sunday and when it was all said and done the middle school chapter came home with seven top 10 finishes and one trophy. Jessica Shaw won second place for technical writing. The topic for technical writing was the economic impact of increasing world population. The following students were top 10 finishers - Peyton Bailey - prepared speech, communication challenge, career challenge and part of the medical technology contest; Britt Hippie - technology bowl (written) and technology bowl (oral); Case Kramer - technology bowl (oral); Matt Lombardi - technology bowl (oral); Carolyn Vickers - technical writing and medical technology; and Allie Yowell - medical technology. The high school chapter returned with four top 10 finishes and two trophies. The Geospatial team of Tiffany Wayland, Malcolm Perry, and Joe Vickers won second place and the debating technology issues team of Joe Vickers and Malcolm Perry won third place. The onsite problem for the Geospatial team was to focus on the local governments and the incidence of DUI, MRSA, and storm surges from a hurricane that comes ashore. The debate team topic was that American high school students are being surpassed in test scores compared to other leading countries. In the preliminary round of debate the students had to argue the con side of the argument and in the finals they had to argue the pro side of the issue. The following students were top 10 finishers - Adam Carter - structural engineering and technology bowl (oral); Brittani Dodson - imaging technology; Malcolm Perry - structural engineering and technology bowl (oral); and Joe Vickers - technology bowl (written) and technology bowl (w'ritten).

Audit Bureau of Circulations —-;r—, www.rappnews.com THURSDAY, MAY 14, 2009 Heads in the sand Being a public official is tough. Things often happen that are beyond the control of any elected body or administrator. What is not beyond their ability is acknowledging when those things happen, and what they may be doing about it. We report in this week’s edition a spate of recent student arrests that have finally blown the cap off an all too common culture of sweeping the bad news under the rug. We have reported on all the fabulous achievements of our public schools, but when the issues of drug arrests at schools, or fights, or the arrest of students for serious crimes rears its ugly head - all of which have occurred recently - we are met by a wall of silence. Make no mistake, the stories will get out; in fact they get out quite rapidly. In the age of email, Facebook and Twitter, information - not always accurate - escapes the clutches of school officials almost immediately. Why, then, do school officials say nothing? Parents want, and have a right, to know what goes on where they leave their children for most of the day and how school officials may be responding. Citing confidentiality regarding juveniles is wholly inadequate. We know this. Parents know this. We are not looking to breach that trust, but what we are looking for, at a bare minimum, is an acknowledgment of what goes on at our schools, and then a response. Drug arrests in school? What are you doing about it. Fights? Arrests? Gangs? All of these are clear and present dangers to our children, and acting as if they don’t exist increases that danger. No doubt the SherifFs Office - in particular Deputy Tony Sisk the schools’ resource officer - has done a tremendous job. There have been more arrests this year than last, and we credit that to greater vigilance. However, next year, we would expect that number to drop again - this time because school officials are willing to work in partnership with parents and the community to address these issues. But that takes honesty, and that means being up front and open about what goes on at our schools and not just putting our heads in the sand. ‘Many thanks to the Flint Hill postmaster’ The United Methodist Relay for Life team is very appreciative of Flint Hill Postmaster Lee Morrison. On the weekend of May 2 and 3, Lee showed his support to the American Cancer Society hy allowing our team to raise funds with a bake sale during his Stamp Show at the Flint Hill Fire Hall Lee worked enthusiastically and tirelessly for days preparing his stamp presentation which he has collected since the age of eight. His show represented history, reli gion, politics, the “rich and famous." and children’s action heroes to mention just a few. His collection is extensive and extremely impressive. Lee honored the Relay for Life with a special exhibit at the door and promoted our bake sale during his verbal presentation of the exhibit. Our team is very thankful for his support and the support of all who attended. It was truly a wonderful Rappahannock County event. United Methodist Relay for Life Team Dog’s life Students from Hearthstone School in Sperryville perform the musical, “Snoopy” in front of a packed house at the school last Friday. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Stephen Dareing Letters Jackson House: ‘A house filled with loving caregivers’ It’s a sunny yellow house with a wraparound porch, sitting on a hillside on the south side of Route 522 in Scrabble, opposite the Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church. It’s a house filled with loving caregivers for never more than nine individuals—spouses, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers, loved ones from our Rappahannock community families. It’s Jackson House Assisted Living “offering premium care at an affordable cost.” It’s a valuable resource for the Rappahannock community that few of our residents seem to know. A one-page Jackson House brochure describes its mission as “providing senior citizens of Rappahannock ... the assistance and support necessary to maintain a dig nified and independent lifestyle ... a safe environment within a ‘homelike’ setting for those who require supervision and assistance with activities of daily Living and access to necessary healthcare.” We were the support group for our friend, Claudia Mitchell, in the months before her death in February, and, when her care needs exceeded our ability to meet those needs, we were faced with the task of finding a care facility for her. She wanted to remain close to her many friends in Rappahannock, remain under the care of the Hospice of the Rapidan, and did not have an unlimited budget. Discouraged by the experience of others with care facilities near the county and not wanting to place Claudia further from home, we were excited to learn of Jackson House, just a 10-minute drive from Washington. When we visited Jackson House, were introduced to the staff of caregivers, and reviewed and compared their monthly fees, Jackson House became our obvious first choice. The peace of mind for us and for Claudia that she was in good hands at Jackson House was priceless. We encourage anyone, faced with the need to find care for a loved one outside of the home, to call Jackson House (540-987-8746), make a personal visit, and meet the owner and staff. We think you will be as impressed as we were and confident of the care you will find there for your loved one. Ray Gooch, Diane Bruce, Kevin Adams and Jay Brown Washington Events for Rappahannock seniors being held this month May is Older Americans' Month. The Rappahannock Eldercare Coalition, with the Aging Together Project, would like to thank all the presenters at our two recent events held for Rappahannock’s older Americans. On April 30, Dr. John McCue of Mountainside Medicine spoke at our Community Conversation about the importance of taking charge of your health, practicing being happy, and the importance of regular exercise and good nutrition. He was inspiring and took the time to answer many questions from the audience. On May 8 we hosted our second Caregivers Seminar at the Washington Fire Hall. Thank you to Jennifer Matthews, RN, Kelly Guido, COTA, Annie Williams, IT, Jane Burdick, RD, Doug Baumgardner, and Lynnette, Kami and Jennifer from the CSB home care team for taking the time to demonstrate the many aspects of providing care to a family member in need. Please consider joining us on May 28 at 1 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Library for the next Rappahannock Eldercare Coalition meeting. Sharon Pyne, Chair Rappahannock Eldercare Coalition Rapp’s social services department underdoes changes Plans are underway to merge some administrative functions of Rappahannock County Department of Social services with those of the Culpeper Department of Human Services. Effective July 1, Culpeper will assume responsibility for handling the accounts payable. In exchange the Director of Rappahannock, Beverly Dunford, will provide oversight and consultation with the Service Unit of the Culpeper office. This came as a result of the budget woes of the state and localities. Initially talks began as the legislature proposed a study of consolidation of agencies serving populations of 20,000 or under. As we began exploring ways of streamlining our work with an eye toward saving money and maintaining service delivery for each community, we felt this would be an effective way to go. It is very important to all of us who represent Rappahannock to maintain the office here. In addition, the line staff who service clientele directly will remain the same. The change is in the financial arena and should not affect service delivery. We have had a positive history of working collaboratively with Culpeper by sharing a fraud worker and accessing their employment services for our residents and are optimistic that we can continue to explore ways to collaborate to improve services while being fiscally prudent. The board and staff of the agency are dedicated to the provision of quality care for our citizens and wish to assure everyone that we do not anticipate a lapse as a result of the merging of administrative functions. Beverly Dunford Director, Rappahannock Department of Social Services Letters to the editor The Rappahannock News welcomes Letters to the Editor from its readers as a forum for discussion of local public affairs subjects. WRITE Letters to the Editor. PO Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747 EMAIL: mkuhn@timespapers.com Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO May 22, 1969 Libby Snead was the winner of the 4-H Share-the Fun contest held last Thursda> night. Her recitation of “The CrookedMouth Family” netted her a scholarship to 4-H camp at Holiday Lake this summer. She is the daughter of Judge and Mrs. R. V. Snead, Washington. Over 250 Boy Scouts from the Shenrapawa District held a spring camporee at the farm of Tom Eastham near Flint Hill during the weekend. Thirty leaders directed the group in the activities which included competitive games and achievements. The camporee officially opened with the Flag Raising ceremony. A campfire was held Saturday night. The district is composed of Rappahannock, Shenandoah, Warren and Page counties. 25 YEARS AGO May 10, 1984 All of Amissville, most of Castleton and Viewtown and delegates from the rest of Rappahannock County came Saturday to wish Dorothy Graham Hackley a happ 50th anniversary. Hundreds of bobbing rec yellow and blue balloons welcomed passer by on Route 211 to the celebration in hono of Graham Hackle/s half century of minding the country store that is the center of life in the little village. Friends served fret hotdogs, potato chips and soft drinks from the store while singers on a flatbed truck led the crowd through a special verse of “Gimme That Old Time Religion." Former employees, like Irva Poe, who had started work there when Graham did, came to wish the Hackleys well. Despite the task of raising 10 children, many of them born during the Great Depression, Mrs. Alice Brady understates her role as Mom. “The kids were good, and always helped out with everything,” she said, during the Depression, Mrs. Brady considered her family fortuy nate. “1 was lucky my husband had a steady job,” she said, “and we raised most s of our food.” r 1 0 YEARS AGO May 12, 1999 Below Talk of the Town on Gay Street in what used to be Peter Kramer’s storage closet, Ellen Manson has opened Yarn & More. In every nook and cranny, Manson has filled her shop with knitting supplies and “more" : Ashford Wheels and Looms, Longaberger baskets and even Watkin’s products, such as salves, flavorings, seasonings and dip mixes. Jenkins Bus Line was operated by Walker B. Jenkins of Washington in the early 30’s from Winchester to Fredericksburg daily. All of his Buick buses were purchased from D.C. Weaver in Culpeper. In later years, Mr. Jenkins had much larger buses. Mr. Jenkins was the father of Mary and Ruby Jenkins, who reside in the Town of Washington.

Scholarships are crucial during difficult economic times Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC) students are not immune to the challenges that the rest of the nation is facing during these difficult economic times. Fortunately, thanks to the generous support of donors, many LFCC students are receiving financial assistance in the form of scholarships, thus enabling them to continue their education. In recognition of National Scholarship Month, LFCC would like to thank the many donors who are changing lives and impacting the community. Education and knowledge are vital components to weathering this economic crisis. LFCC is poised to equip students with new skills, but it needs the support of donors to partner with the college to Financially assist students who are unable to afford an education. Following is a glimpse into the lives of two 2008-09 scholarship recipients: Lonsossou Alou moved to the United States in 2005 from Togo, Africa. Lonsossou had always wanted to graduate from high school and college, and now he had his chance. He enrolled at LFCC in pursuit of an associate degree in nursing. The scholarship he received is assisting Lonsossou in accomplishing his goals and easing the financial strain on his parents and four siblings. Betty Anderson put her educational career on hold due to her responsibilities as a wife and mother of two small children. Now that her children are grown, she is focusing on her future and is pursuing a degree. The scholarship she received helped to alleviate some of the financial burden of taking classes and, according to Betty, provided her family with a level of security despite today’s economy. National Scholarship Month is a time to celebrate the many donors who are changing lives and encourage others to do the same. By investing in LFCC, you can impact the community and inspire students, Mark E. Pangle Chair, Lord Fairfax Community College Educational Foundation Board Financial awareness must begin early and be a lifelong endeavor How many young people understand — much less embrace — the concept of making money work for you? With all the news about trillion-dollar deficits, “generational theft,” Social Security going bankrupt and a woefully low national savings rate, young people — more than ever — need to learn the basics about money and financial independence. They deservp to know how much power they possess to control their financial future, to rise beyond any need for assistance from irresponsible or broke governments. In the book “The Millionaire Next Door,” published a dozen years ago, authors Thomas Stanley and William Danko divulged the “surprising secrets” of the wealthy and their habits. The authors' studies revealed that the over The Forum Bob Scherer whelming majority of families with a net worth in excess of $1 million achieved this milestone by saving and investing early in life and living well below their means. Only a small fraction of the nation’s wealthy got there by way of luck, inheritance or celebrity. Hard work and self-discipline mattered more than high salaries and advanced degrees in building wealth. In fact, doctors, lawyers and other highly paid professionals proved to be less efficient at accumulating wealth than small-business owners, teachers and others with lower incomes but better saving and spending habits. Saving money in your 20s — a time of low-end salaries — competes with dating, marrying, traveling, buying gadgets and cars and homes, and thinking you will live forever. To establish a savings habit early in one’s career requires maturity, self-discipline, delayed gratification and financial literacy — knowledge of money and wealth gained long before young people start to work. As a volunteer instructor for Junior Achievement, I recently discussed money and financial planning with high school seniors. These busy students take college-level AP classes, study hard, hold part-time jobs, participate in school activities and dream big. They were attentive and interested in the subject matter, which seemed relatively fresh to most of ED AC From Page A1 their qualifications and length of time in the county the committee elected a chairman (Brad Schneider) and set a meeting schedule for the next few weeks. All of the members acknowledged that something needed to l>e done to attract mom business to the county and that the alternative, doing nothing, wasn't an option. “If we don't do anything,” said Ben Jones, “we’re going to continue to fight over taxes and schools.” Barbara Adolfi noted that the number of vacant buildings has continued to rise, and that attracting corporate offices -r- whose manufacturing was elsewhere - might be a goal. Other early suggestions were about marketing the county's products more effectively (Cliff Miller) and using the agricultural assets thi' county has more effectively (John Genho of Eldon Farms. > Four general industries were mentioned repeatedly agriculture, tourism, retail and technology - but most of the comments remained in the context of promoting the first two as outlined in the county’s comprehensive plan. However, as committee member Kevin McCrohan - a marketing professor at George Mason University - pointed out, “You can’t build an economy based on 11 percent and 8 percent,” referring to the proportion of tourism and agriculture as a part of total economic output of employed residents. There was a good deal of discussion about the importance of Internet access to attract more businesses, but mostly in the context of individual consulting practices as opposed to larger businesses which might employ more people - there is already broadband access in Sperryville and Washington. More cellular coverage was also mentioned (coverage is extensive with virtually only one provider, Sprint.) Of the committee, only three represented businesses that actually employ people on a permanent basis - Cliff Miller of Mt. Vernon Farms, John Genho of Eldon Farms, and Nicolas Lapham of Sunnyside Farms. No committee members from the Washington Hospitality and Visitors Association (WHVA) which represents many business owners in the Town of Washington and the county - were selected to be on the committee. There was no comment from the public, although the Rappahannock News asked if appropriate consideration would be given to the current resident workforce, most of whom are employed by industries other than agriculture and tourism, as opposed to seeking to attract newcomers from outside the county. The response from the new chairman was that those would be considered as a part of the “resource survey” the committee would like to have done.

The concepts of “pay yourself first” — save some of your paycheck before paying bills — and make money work for you generated much discussion. You might think a lesson in such fundamental principles could bore kids familiar with them. Nobody seemed bored. Junior Achievement is an admirable organization doing its best to teach economics, financial literacy and work readiness to kids in kindergarten through 12th grade. But JA reaches just a fraction of all students in only a handful of classes. To affect lifelong behavior, financial education must start early and be an ongoing effort. My generation of baby boomers is notorious for accumulating more debt than wealth. Many boomers live paycheck to paycheck, save little or nothing, and worry about retirement. These hard lessons should not go to waste; children must be taught how to wisely manage money. We send our children to school and college partially to equip them with skills that will command a lifetime of decent income. But no matter the size of their future paychecks, what they do with them will dramatically affect their lives — for better or worse.

In all, there are 83 pages dedicated to complaints about Wachovia alone. One woman, identified only as Lisa from Baltimore, said she made a deposit, then wrote several checks, thinking the money would be available. For some reason, she said, the bank held the deposit for 11 days. She did not find out until she went to the ATM and found out her account was overdrawn by more than $700. That amount included $245 in fees for unavailable funds, she claimed. However, the ire is not directed solely at Wachovia. Another man, John of Clayton, N.C., claimed that BB&T is “clearing debit cards, checks and other drafts from the account first, and holding deposited funds until the next morning solely so they can charge $35 [fees for non sufficient funds].” He alleged that the bank charged him $700 in fees in one month. The bank refunded only $290, he said. “This is predatory, unfair and nothing more than BB&T trying to steal from Local Bank Rappahannock National Bank • Overdraft/non-sufficient funds: $34 • Additional fee if account remains in overdraft status for 10 consecutive calendar days: $50. • Overdraft protection: Not stipulated in fee schedule • Overdraft protection transfers: Not stipulated in fee schedule. The Fauquier Bank • Overdraft fee/non-sufficient funds fees: $30 per paid item. • Continuous negative balance fee: $5 per day. • Overdraft protection: Not stipulated in fee schedule. • Overdraft protection transfers: Not stipulated in fee schedule L its customers,” he insisted. The list goes on. Diane from Cincinnati said her experience with PNC bank wasn’t much better. She, too, made a deposit which was reflected in her account. Certain “pending items” made her available balance go into the red, even though her posted balance never did. As a result, she got hammered with nine overdraft fees. According to spokesman Piedmont Internal Medicine 'Doctors for Adults* your primary » doctor, are scheduled to Aimee Worsley, Wachovia follows “standard banking industry practice” by processing customers’ largest checks and other transactions first. By doing so, she said, the bank ensures the customers’ “most important” items — such as a mortgage, rent payments and car payments — are paid “before their account may go into overdraft.” Representatives from other banks, including Rappahannock National Bank, The Fauquier Bank, and PNC, said they process checks the same way. Middleburg Bank did not return phone calls seeking comment. A.C. McGraw, a spokesman for BB&T also said purchases made with either traditional checks or debit cards are processed from the highest amount to lowest amount for that day. So-called “prior day” purchases post before “current day” purchases, she said. At BB&T, any deposits made before 2 p.m are posted before any debits. Even so, problems can arise when customers who do not have some sort of overdraft protection for their accounts write multiple checks for varying amounts. When the checks for the largest amounts are processed first, those written for lesser amounts can bounce. Customers are then penalized with overdraft fees or fees for insufficient funds.

I’m so grateful to be able to work, and to be able to do something I like." - David Grossmann The perfect fit For David Grossmann, career satisfaction is all about finding the right fit. He started his career in the restaurant business but later switched to the health care field because he wanted to help people. Now, as a physical therapist in our PM&R Outpatient Department, David enjoys helping our orthopedic patients on their journey back to normal function. "I like working with orthopedic patients because I understand how difficult the healing process can be for these patients,” David says. “I once injured my back, and at the time I wondered whether I would ever be able to work again. So I understand the mindset." Prior to joining Fauquier Health in 2006, David was an outpatient physical therapy manager for 13 years at a health system in Maryland. He enjoyed the job but chose to leave because of the long commute. "I wanted to spend more time with my family,” David says. “But the job search ended up taking about 10 years because I also wanted to wait for the right fit. Fauquier Health turned out to be the perfect fit for me.” For more information about Fauquier Health go to www.fauquierhealth.org or call Physician Referral & Community Link at 540.316.DOCS (3627) or referral@fauquierhealth.org.

White plastic lattice was formed into columns intertwined with flowers and lights to break up the long wall space. Black tulle was Bennett Eastham and Louise Johns draped along the walls. Super moms Amy Burnett and Camille Racer lent a hand in helping with tabletop decorations. They provided more than enough snacks for the prom goers. A special touch included a chocolate fountain with strawberries. Zack Jackson, a Rappahannock County High School graduate, worked as the DJ playing a wide variety of music.

' Toni Egger, who recently took over as Headwaters director, said that they already have a replacement for Hope. Paula Howland - who has a PhD in counseling and psychology - has been hired to replace Hope. “She’s already jumped in,” said Egger. although Howland doesn't officially begin until July 1. Egger also said that Howland has a wealth of administrative experience in education and that she’s excited about giving back to the community. Howland was not available for comment at the time the paper went to press.

Junk referred to a report from Mather Architects dated May 15, 2008 which detailed needed improvements to school buildings and provided estimates for several proposed projects. These estimates are considerably less - over $1 million - than the proposed “Performance Contract” from Ameresco. “If our group can help, we would like to do that,” said Junk, mentioning several local contractors and consultants including Roger Cordani and Brad Schneider - an environmental engineer, and recent appointee to the Economic Development Advisory Committee. Whatever the board decided, said Junk, regarding contractors sourced locally, “we’ll try to sell it to the Board of Supervisors too.” r Scam From Page A1 banged into a locker the source said. Asked if the student was okay, was he taken to the hospital, are there charges pending, school administrators declined to answer. Another fight that same day involved a female student slapping another male student the same source said. There also have been three additional drug arrests since the Rappahannock News reported on three similar arrests last fall involving marijuana possession for a total of six drug arrests this school year. There was only one drug arrest reported last school year, however the increase may be more a result of stricter enforcement said Smith. Rappahannock high school senior Robert “Bobby" Fincham, 18, of Ami8sville was arrested last Wednesday at school on charges of breaking and entering Hackle/s Store in Amis8ville on May 5. Last month, two students were arrested in connection with the vandalism of several mail boxes around the Hunter’s Road area of the county. At Tuesday night’s School Board meeting, a Rappahannock News reporter addressed the board about the recent arrests of students, one of whom was allegedly involved in a felony together with a known gang member who was wanted for murder in another county. The reporter cited information about the six drug arrests during the past school year, arrests of other students in vandalism incidents, two recent fights, and the recent arrest of Fincham - all of which have been confirmed by the Sheriffs Office. There was no comment from the School Board. Domestic Assault On May 5, a woman called from 14828 Lee Highway in Amissville to report that her husband had assaulted her, that he was intoxicated, and that he had left the residence. Lt. Roger Jenkins responded to the scene, then waited in the area for the man to return which he later did. Before Louis Elmo Souder, 51, of Amissville could reach the residence, Jenkins pulled him over and arrested him for DUI. An Emergency Protective Order was issued to protect the wife.

AWARENESS WEEK MAY lOth-lGth The Honorable Tim Kaine, Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, has declared May 10 -16 Insurance Fraud Awareness Week in Virginia. This annual event aims to raise community awareness of insurance fraud, create more widespread public knowledge of the i - Insurance Fraud Program and its purpose, and educate Virginia citizens in the prevention and reporting of insurance fraud. f• ’ c3 ■ ■ - ., w-rrnrr ■■ ■ ■ ■ -. mem* STATE POUCt 2008 YEAR IN REVIEW II ■ 11 iljjj 11 Whenever the economy stumbles, the I i ■ 1 UHI M incidence of insurance fraud rises, and this I I I * 1^1 Vear was Pro°^ Nationwide, people are ill torching their own cars to get out from under those burdensome monthly payments. Then they try to collect insurance money for the car they’re reporting as “stolen." Virginia was not immune to the national rise in insurance fraud, and the 1FP had a very busy year in 2008. Happily, results were gratifying. The IFP received more than 2,000 notifications last year, an alltime high. Insurance fraud special agents opened 808 cases in 2008. That's a 76 percent increase over 2007"s case load. Agents made 307 arrests for insurance fraud, almost half again as many as in 2007. Convictions for insurance fraud went from 39 to 174. (One hundred of those convictions resulted from just two cases.) Insurance fraud special agents presented 278 cases to the commonwealth’s attorneys for prosecution - more than twice the number of cases presented in 2007. The courts responded by awarding restitution of almost S1.3 million to victims of insurance fraud. The IFP also investigates property and casualty lines of insurance, as well as workers’ compensation. Property fraud cases increased by almost 17 percent, while cases involving injury and casualty fraud and workers' compensation decreased slightly. Whatever the economy does this year, the IFP will continue the fight against insurance fraud. Col. W. Steven Flaherty Ten Years of Fighting insurance Fraud Whenever someone tries to profit from a deceptive insurance transaction, you pay the price. “Insurance fraud affects all Virginia residents, through higher premiums and increased costs for items and services they purchase every day,” says Colonel W. Steven Flaherty, Virginia State Police (VSP) Superintendent. The VSP estimates the cost of insurance fraud to each Virginian household at $1,000 per year, every year. The VSP’s Insurance Fraud Program is charged with combating all kinds of insurance fraud including bogus work-related injuries, staged car “accidents,” and similar deceptions. This year the IFP is celebrating its tenth anniversary by doing what it does best: conducting thorough profes sional insurance fraud investigations, providing insurance fraud training for law enforcement personnel, and increasing citizen awareness and cooperation through educational and rewards programs. Col. Flaherty and his tireless staff are not only concerned about reducing crime -- they're also committed to protecting the commonwealth's citizens. YOU CAN DO YOUR PART; If you suspect insurance fraud, call the IFP toll-free at 1-87762-FRAUD (623-7283) or report it online at www.StampOutFraud.com.

Do you know what you've lost7 Inventory your household's contents, and update your inventory at regular intervals. (Visit the Insurance Information Institute at www.iii.org for free software to help you get started.) If possible, keep your receipts or proofs-of purchase for big ticket items art, jewelry, TVs, cameras and the like - in the same location. Consider scanning your documents and saving the images to a computer disc for quick access. • In the event that you must make of a claim, take that proverbial ounce of prevention by following these easy guidelines. • Make sure your insurance agent is licensed in the commonwealth of Virginia. Agents are licensed by the Bureau of Insurance, Virginia State Corporation Commission. r To find information about an agent, visit: www.scc.virginia.gov/division/boi/web pages/boiconsumer.htm or call toll free in Virginia 1-800-552-7945.

Contractors - even those based out-of state - must be licensed, bonded and carry insurance coverage for work over $1,000. To check a contractor’s license or report an unlicensed contractor, contact the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation at www.dpor.virgima.gov or call (804) 367-8504. ii possiDie, get more tnan one estimate for repairs and make sure the estimates are in writing.

' fcnpat Fighting Fraud is Only a Click Away insurance fraud may be as old as the insurance industry itself, but it's no match for 21st century technology. If you think FaceBook, MySpace and YouTube are just for the kids, think again. "insurance fraud is like a virus, spreading throughout the economy" says Col. Flaherty, explaining why IFP added viral marketing to its fraud-fighting toolbox. The IFP is enlisting the help of social networking sites to spread its message. The iFP's 'Stamp Out Fraud' page on Face Book welcomes new members to its fraud-fighting cyber community. A collection of short videos on YouTube is designed to raise public awareness about the problem. (Visit the Program's established website - www.stampoutfraud.com - for quick and easy links.)

Those Darlins is one of five bluegrass bands to watch, according to Rolling Stone Magazine. One of the band members, Nikki Darlin, aka Nikki Kvames, is a Rappahannock native. And what a treat they were to watch Saturday night at the Bohemian Banquet performing songs like “Flatwood Mall” (about none other than OUR Flatwood Mall) and a Patsy Cline gone “crazy” song called “Wild One.” If you came to dance and have a wild time, that was the place to be as an indoor horse rink was briefly transformed into a Texas roadhouse dive with a band playing country swing and Rockabilly. In the best country tradition, their songs are about booze, bad relationships and mama. The dirt floor and the smell of manure just added to the ambiance (yes, they say that word down in the Lone Star State, pronounced ‘amm-bee-ance’). Carpets were laid out so the amps wouldn’t get dirty, the band sauntered out. did some sound checks while the restless crowd yelled and hollered. Then Those Darlins struck into what was over two hours of some of the best country rock ‘n’ roll this reporter has heard in a long, long time. .There's a big difference between the pop music Nashville puts out these days and good, ole fashioned rockabilly swing. The fiddle and a slide guitar seem to be the requisites to a formula that’s a bit worn, so the fact that these Darlins don't have either, but a ukulele instead, is the most immediate indication that these gals are different. It confuses people a bit. One Nashville writer called their music a cross between punk rock and See DARLINS, Page B2 Rappahannock News Staff Photo Stephen Dareing ROAD HOUSE: Those Darlins, from left Rappahannock native Nikki (Kvarnes) Darlin, Jessi and Kelley Darlin of Murfreesboro.

This man is a painter. What I have experienced in these paintings is strength, discovery, engagement, seeing, feeling, constructing, responsiveness, commitment and enjoyment of one’s work. The paintings have the strength and beauty to impress. I invite you to come see his paintings for yourself. Bussells gives the painting the freedom to change as it develops (my favorite!L This is a modem sensibility. Don’t judge the rough surface too quickly as coarse and Review unrefined. Stay with it a bit longer and let your eye move and your senses feel this paint, these painted forms, this geometry. On the surface of the paintings one am follow his process from the first thin layers to passages of thick paint as he' finds the structure' of buildings, trees, mountains, sky, and amazing blue rivers. There is a density of color, a strong primary palette and a powerful contrast of light and dark in these paintings. These are strong, sometimes lyrical paintings. The search for the trian gle has been seen in Bussells’ work since 2004. This element has been found mid has become an integral part of the painting. It has become a structural element, we can feel it. The triangle is no longer a surface-notation of what he was looking for. He has found this very internal structure in the geometry of nature. /Vs German Expressionist in feeling as these paintings are, Cezanne's commitment to “redoing Poussin from Nature" finding nature's geometry - is also evident in Jeffrey's work. Bussells, who is a family man with a full-time job as well as a painter, is either very modest i which his prices reflect' or so focused on just painting that he has not signed his work for the last five years. Since 1994 his work has changed radically from thin layers of oil paint and subdued color which only suggested form 'with precision, however) into an active physical, engaging painting style with both knife and brush and strong vibrant color. This group of paintings was begun in the field and finished in the studio, which is a new development for him. Moving into the studio, he has found inside himself what he was looking for in nature.

The Summer Solstice Farm Dinner is one of two, new farm-related events originated by Rappahannock County’s Office of Tourism which are being planned jointly with local volunteer groups. The Office of Tourism and the Farm Tour Committee, chaired by Cliff Miller, will host a countywide farm tour featuring 21 agriculturallyrelated locations Sept. 26 - 27. An “All Things Rappahannock” market will be featured at The Link in Sperryville, where tour goers may pick up farm tour maps, purchase locally made products as well as see and hear presentations on sustainable agriculture and stewardship of the land. For questions, email info@GourmetRappahannoc k.com or will 540-987-8682, mailbox 2. Sponsorship opportunities for the farm dinner are still available and may be arranged through the same phone number. Darlins From Page B1 country. A New York Times writer apparently couldn’t distinguish between a ukulele and a mandolin. They do a song called “Talk Dirty to me in Hawaiian” that’s a real hoot, but the rest is actually very rooted in early rock and country - aka “rockabilly.” They have solid bass line and drum beat, and when you add the vocals - a sort of hardscrabble harmony and soulfjfclness of a cross between Patsy Cline and Lucinda Williams - and the bluesy guitar licks, you’ve got a band with solid roots, but who’ve added their own new twist on things. Talking to the Darlins before their sets, you wouldn’t get the impression that once on stage, these gals would transform themselves into trash-talking rebels with a bunch of causes in the best of country tradition. Country singer David Allen Coe would be proud. The only thing missing are pickup trucks and trains. But this isn’t that kind of country music. Jessi Darlin (she and Kelley refuse to reveal their real last names), the youngest at 19, is a pixie from Kentucky. There’s none of the attitude when she’s on stage as she talked about musical influences, how the band came together, and the fact that this phenomenon was never more than anything other than having fun playing music. This is just what she likes to do. When she discovered the Carter Family, “It was like, ‘Wow!’ This is music I can actually play!” She still had a rock and roll heart, however, and she ended up at the Southern Girls Rock ‘N’ Roll Camp w here she met Kelley Darlin. Kelley, 25, had founded the camp when she was a student at Middle Tennessee State University. Kelley grew up in South Carolina where, she said, the music kids listened to, “pretty much stunk,” and that there were hardly any female musicians. She’d heard about a music camp in Portland, Oregon, and with the urging of a “feminist organization” on campus, she started Southern Girls. Nikki Darlin, 24, is the sultry soul of the band. By herself, she could be a whole new genre: Gothic country. She’s actually lived that wandering life so many country songs have been written about. After leaving Rappahannock at 18, she moved from place to place for awhile, but eventually she also found her way to the Southern Girls Camp in Murfreesboro. They way they tell it, they shared a love of 60s folk, country and early rock, and liked to hang out and play on Kelley’s porch. But they still love the guitar thrashing, bass drum rhythm of rock. Easy enough, they thought, we’ll do both at the same time. Their first gig as a band was at a friend’s party. Then they played another, and eventually got a gig at a dive bar in Nashville. On July 23, they will release their first full length CD on their own label - they are not shrinking violets, and they pretty much do it the way they want to. You can check out their sound and upcoming dates on their MySpace page at www.myspace. com/darlins.

However, one study shows that women tend to anticipate the occasion with sufficient eagerness to sustain them through fatal illness. This suggestion comes from researchers who reviewed the death certificates of nearly three million Californians who died of natural causes during a two-decade period. While the research showed that more deaths occurred around birthdays, a closer look revealed that deaths among men peaked in the week before a birthday. Deaths among women actually declined before a birthday and peaked in the week afterward. It is speculated that men may tend to view upcoming birthdays more as deadlines while women see them as symbolically meaningful occasions that call for celebration. We hope you found this topic to be interesting and informative. Should death occur near the date of a significant occasion, it can be incorporated in the commemoration of the passing.

Father, son ready for angling adventure By Bill Walsh Rappahannock News Staff Writer Jeff Turner can’t recall exactly what his wife said, remembering only what he heard when he broached his vacation vision about a year ago: Great idea, go on with it. The bit of reticence that even the enthusiastic Turner began to hear in subsequent conversations might have had something to do with the trip’s escalating price tag. As the planning proceeded, the estimate for Turner’s 50 Acres of open land ideal for grapes well located on 4 lane Highway Old Buildings could make the core of an historic Winery and Living Complex I he Cropp Farm, Rappahannock. County is located about 12 miles west of Warrenton on Rt 211 at a crossover for convenient access Most of the land is in open fields with deep soils and good air drainage.

Va. 20117 www.ThomasandTalbot.com quest to cross the country and fish in 50 states in 50 days with his son Taylor reached nearly $50,000. Ultimately, when father and son leave Warrenton on June 12, the trip will end up costing a fraction of that, thanks to the kindness of strangers — sponsors, suppliers and guides wanting to be a part of the quest more than they want their regular fees — thanks to friends still unmet across the country, who have been e-mailing the father/son duo with offers of help. Corporations have gotten on board — Wrangler is sponsoring the clothing, for example. Others are supplying GPS systems, laptops, cameras, rods and reels, even bug spray. ESPN signed on to host streaming video of the fishing on its Web site and offered an Internet home for photos and a journal.

Details, details, details — and all beside the point, in the end. Turner said: The trip is not about money. The trip, he believes, is beyond price. Ultimately, it really isn’t about the catch-and-release fishing, either. It’s about honoring his own father, with whom the relationship was not always sanguine, Turner said. It’s about “seizing the moment” with a 17-year-old rising high school senior for whom leaving the nest is a nearterm reality. It’s about raising money for ministries and charities. “If you look on our Web site, people can pledge a nickel, a penny, a dime for every fish we catch,” Turner said, and they can choose the recipient of their charity from among Grace Perfect Farm House Expanded and restored 1910 farm house in idyllic private setting.

Ministries in Manassas, The National Fatherhood Initiative, or, for the more secular, Trout Unlimited. Turner thinks that the journey will raise about $20,000 for those groups. No money will come to him, he said. “At the end of the trip, Fll just e-mail people who pledged and tell them how many fish we caught, then it’s up to them to honor the pledge directly through the links on our Web site,” he said. The trip, of course, is more than a little bit about fun and adventure, too. The Turners are, for the most part, going to “trophy” fishing areas, but other considerations entered into mapping out the trip, too. As a practical matter, the father and son team has created a route that is doable without their having to drive all night or cut into four hours of daily fishing. Despite the team’s best effort, “there are probably...six days that are just horrific,” driving days, Turner said Practicality has not displaced their goal of actually visiting and seriously fishing every state. No state will get . short shrift, just a “checking of the box” that they had been there, Turner said. In addition to trophy areas, they have also selected a few historic areas to fish — the McCloud River in California, the home river of U.S. fisheries for rainbow trout, for instance. They chose a few others simply for their breathtaking beauty — the St. Croix River in Wisconsin and a section of the water from Lake Powell Dam into the Grand Canyon. Turner has been a fisherman all his life and has caught just about every' popular native species of freshwater game, and more saltwater varieties than he can count. “We will be going alter 25 species of fish,” in the 50 states, he said. "The only fish that I have not ever gone after are muskie and sturgeon. 1 actually once caught a sturgeon, but it was by accident.” Father and son took a spin through some Virginia parks, testing the RV and its equipment, during spring break. Everything worked well then; everything will work well on the expedition. Turner said, “because there is no failure in this trip. “We are not trying to set a world record; to my know! edge, there is no record (for fishing the most states in consecutive days]. It is all about the experience.” FOR SALE 17.9 AC ESTATE PROPERTY IN RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY VA PARK LIKE SETTING ADJOINING THE COVINGTON RIVER. FLY FISHING AT YOUR BACK DOOR.
