George Swett of Sperryville has taken this farm implement, rigaed a flag and created a piece of Americana to remind us of times past as we reflect on the history of our nation this July 4th. Organizers expect larger-than-ever crowd By Hilary Lkwis Rappahannock News Staff Writer With Independence Day this Saturday, organizers kicked into high gear this week, expecting a large crowd and beautiful weather On Tuesday, they were putting up signs and mowing grass, working through the week for Rappahannock County’s annual Fourth of July celebration. New to this year’s event. Blue Ridge Balloon will provide tethered hot air balloon rides between 6 and 8 p m. There will be a limited number of ndes available and tickets will be $10 per person. Organizers also have added a raffle with a grand prize drawing of $2,500 to be given away late Saturday afternoon. The top ticket sellers will be crowned Mr. or Miss Fourth of July. “The weather is going to be nice. It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day," said event organizer Richie Burke. “We’d like people to bring their families out and enjoy this event. Over the past years, there’s been about 3,500 people, but we expect possibly 5,000 people this year. We’re looking forward to it." The event will take place at Thornton Hill Race Course at 4137 Sperryville Pike, just three miles south of Sperryville on Route 522. Gates open at 1 p.m. and the celebration will last until the fireworks sound at dusk. Organizers say the fireworks will be a 35-minute show.

Maestro Lorin Maazel returns home His Castleton Festival dream realized By Hii.aky Lkwis Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sitting in the shade of the 250 year-old beech tree on the lawn of her Castleton home, Dietlinde Maazel spoke candidly about her husband, one of the world’s most sought-after conductors. “I sat there in this box and was completely wrapped around by this enormous sound. You really felt lifted out of your seat,” she said, tears filling her blue eyes, as she described her husband’s last performance at the helm of the New York Philharmonic. “Here he was on this podium, and people were rising to their feet. I just lost it completely," she said. “It was literally too much ” Lorin Maazel, 79, stepped down as Music Director last month from the oldest symphony orchestra in the United States.

Gone are the huge rallies and pageantry of last year's election; this time around it’s backyards and breakfasts. Big media has moved on. “These events and the local press are the only way I can get my message out,” says Democrat Delegate Steve Shannon of Fairfax who is running for Virginia Attorney General. Shannon’s Republican opponent for the office is Ken Cuccinelli, a state senator from Fairfax. Ironically, these elections will have far more impact on people's lives than the big national ones, and yet voter turnout is historically small.

The week was full of fun workshops including fishing, crafts, woodworking, rocketry, basket making, lab experiments, creeks and critters, performing arts, pet care, fun with Mother Nature and sports. Campers spent each morning rotating through three workshops. The afternoons were filled with various programs including playing a giant game of capture the flag, a talent show full of singing, comedy and magic, and a carnival with face painting, a cookie walk and many fun activities involving whipped cream, donuts and lots of water. Eighty five campers enjoyed the week, with the guidance of 25 teen counselors and nearly 20 adults who led programs, chaperoned and helped out at bus stops. The camp is one of the most reasonable day camps costing $50 for the week. This cost includes bus service, workshops, snack, program supplies and a T-shirt. This year the camp was filled in less than two weeks. Parents interested in having children participate in next year’s camp should contact the extension office in February to get MMMMi Photo courtesy of Ann Critzer HAPPY CAMPERS: With smiles on their faces, these Rappahannock 4-H campers show that they had a good time last week at a 4-H Day Camp in Front Royal. on the list.

Maazel From Page A1 seven years and I feel very good at what has been done, but I’m looking forward to moving at a more leisurely pace,” he said in an interview with the Rappahannock News. Saturday, June 27 was Maazel’s last performance at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall. He received a standing ovation before the first note was even played. “I am so happy for him because people really showed him love as a performer,” Dietlinde said. The couple returned to their 550-acre Castleton Farm estate this week, turning the page on one chapter in their lives, and starting another, here in Rappahannock. The Maazels’ focus now shifts to their newest project, the Castleton Festival, which opens tomorrow and will run through July 19. Maazel, bom in Paris to Jewish-American parents and raised in the United States, began playing the violin at age five and started taking conducting lessons at seven. A prodigy to say the least, he made his debut with the New York Philharmonic at age 12. It’s due to this training from a very young age that elevated Day lilies Now Blooming at C O U N T R Y F • L • O • W • fc • K (!

That’s what the Castleton Festival is all about. “After having been given every privilege that a successful artist can be given, you want to pass on what you’ve learned in your life,” he said. “You like to see young people feel encouraged and be motivated to carry the torch, you like to feel that.” The Castleton Festival, a product of the Maazels’ Chateauville Foundation, came to fruition after many years of planning. Its purpose is to nurture and mentor young, musicians, singers, instrumentalists, conductors, designers, stage directors, coaches and stage managers. It includes coaching and master classes, as well as workshops. The product is a series of performances over the two week span. “My husband really wants to share a lifetime of experience as a conductor with young people,” said Dietlinde, who was bom in Germany and spent years working as an actress. “We just wanted to keep that aspect of mentorship in the festival.” Three years ago, the Maazels created five-week residencies for young international music students on the property. “We created those operas and we saw how successful it was and also the benefit it had for these young people of incredible, encouraging value,” said Dietlinde. “That was sort of the festival in the making.” The Maazels also realized how well the festival’s surroundings inspired art. “A lot of people have taken refuge here,” the maestro said. “They were charmed by the beauty of the county. Our festival, I think, will make it all the more satisfying to live here and to kind of have a spiritual outreach even if one has left an urban center.” The Maazels have lived in Rappahannock for over 20 years, having moved here just after being married in 1986. They have two sons and a daughter together. “Rappahannock has sort of a healing quality. When people come here, they feel something very special happening to them. You work creatively and this is the ideal place for creativity,” Dietlinde said.

He will also freelance for several European operas and interna tional tours guest conducting. “Hell be traveling a lot but hell be here much more than he ever was before," said Dietlinde. “He also wants to spend some time overseas composing this summer." After the music from the festival dies and the young artists scatter across the world, the Maazels hope to regroup and relax, at least for a few days. “When everybody leaves, we’re going to pick up where we left off before, playing tennis with the young people and so forth,” said Maazel. “But the festival will he a very intense two and a half weeks.

Monday-Friday Member, Audit Bureau of Circulations www.rappnews.com CAC THURSDAY, JULY 2, 2009 Editorial Platform “Where fhe press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe ” - Thomas Jefferson The Rappahannock News regards these issues to be of bedrock importance to the character and heritage of Rappahannock County and takes these consistent editorial positions toward fairly reflecting the attitude of its people. • Growth must be planned and controlled through strong, clear and strictly enforced zoning regulations which will further Rappahannock’s character, environment, powerful beauty, open space conservation program and the quality of rural and village life of its people. Any new development must be reconciled with the county’s Comprehensive Plan which serves as the essential road map to its iuiure. • Education standards should be raised and facilities upgraded in recognition that quality schooling is a key to the future of our children. • Encourage low impact new small business consistent with the proven successful Rappahannock economic experience. Ecotourism and farming must be strongly supported since they generate revenue without the attendant major public services demanded by other industries. New clean business and industry, except formula-based businesses should be actively sought to provide new employment opportunities for our people under conditions which assure that these businesses are self-supporting, not a burden upon the tax base. • Volunteerism, a hallmark of the people in this proud and independent county, shall be celebrated as a continuing measure of vigorous community activity, of the will of the heart and the spirit of the Rappahannock heritage. • In recognition that these objectives may only be realized with fully representative local government, this newspaper will remain politically independent and uncover any abuse of the public trust by public officials. Out of the Attic Avon Hall, home of Mr. and Mrs. William Carrigan of Washington, was decked in its annual red, white and blue dress in celebration of Independence Day Friday. Red, white and blue lights and balloons along with flags decorated the house and candles in paper bags illuminated the lawn and reflected in the pond. A display of fireworks was enjoyed by many people who sat on the hillside behind the courthouse to watch. (The photo and caption ran in the July 10, 1969 edition of the Rappahannock News. Letters Summer can be fun, but also dangerous On June 20, yet another child died of hyperthermia when left alone in a parked car. Two-year-old April Knight lived in Kentucky and, at the beginning of summer, is already the 13th child in the United States to die in a hot vehicle this year. How can we be sure this does not happen to the children and families in our own community? The truth is summer may be a fun time of year, but it can present difficult, sometimes dangerous challenges for parents. From inconveniences like bug bites to tragedies like drowning and death, children themselves are often unaware of these issues or too young to understand. Fortunately, many of these accidents are preventable. As parents, babysitters and caregivers, it’s our job to ensure that every child remains safe and healthy in the coming months. Taking a few moments to be aware of these situations is a small sacrifice to make for our children’s well-being. Parents might leave their children alone in a vehicle if they want to avoid waking a sleeping baby or getting the child out of and back into a car seat. But a child can get overheated quickly — it only takes 10 minutes for a car’s temperature to increase 19 degrees. Long lines or a broken register can make a quick trip in the store unexpectedly longer; meanwhile, the vehicle is growing warmer. This and countless other safety issues for children in parked or running vehicles are real and dangerous. A child should never be left alone in a car. Parenting can be tough at times. and summer safety issues pose a special challenge. Luckily, there are resources dedicated to helping parents make the season both fun and safe. Visit the Parent Resource Center on SCAN of Northern Virginia's Web site at www.scanva.org — and look for the feature on summer safety. Reading through tips on kids in cars, preventing sunburns, water safety, finding supervision and other topics in our summer safety section is an easy way to increase your knowledge and prepare for this season. Take time to learn more now, and keep summer the funfilled time it should be for you and your children. Diane Charles Executive Director SCAN of Northern Virginia Alexandria All invited to Rappahannock Nature Camp at Singing Creek This is the 23rd year for our camp, Rappahannock Nature Camp. I want to thank all of our supporters in the community who have made it possible. It has come a long way since the first one was held at Rock Mills in 1987. I think it has evolved into a truly valuable educational experience for the campers and young counselors alike. I, for one, have learned a lot. Please join us on the last day of camp, Friday, July 3. Feel free to bring along anyone interested, including family or prospective new campers. (But no pets.) Visitors should arrive after lunch at 1 p.m. Camp will adjourn as usual at 3 p.m. or sooner. There will be an opportunity to tour our exhibits (made by the campers), pole barn, gardens and trails. Each camper will tell us about some of the things we have seen and experienced this year. Thanks again for your support, and feel free to call me at 675-1088 if you have questions. But if you want to call for any reason, don’t wait till Thursday night — we’ll be camping out in the woods!

Warner in November, met with Arundel Newspaper reporters in Warrenton last Friday. Time and time again, Harrison, a 49-year old self-described “professional volunteer,” has called herself a “non-traditional candidate,” a woman who presents new ideas, new strengths and a promise of establishing new coalitions in the traditional world of Virginia politics. Mrs. R. E. Thompsen was hostess to the Sperryville Bridge Club at Cab-Inn on Friday evening. Guests were Mrs. Frances Tabler, Mrs. Mary Quaintance, Mrs. I. R. Kilby, Mrs. Brown Miller, Mrs. Roy L. Reeve, Mrs. W. H. Cordle, Mrs. Dale Metzinger. Prize winners were Mrs. Reeve, Mrs. Quaintance and Mrs. Tabler. The RAAC Talent Showcase held last Saturday filled the Gay Street Theater with audience and a wealth of talent. The spirit of community on the stage and in the house created an atmosphere that was relaxed and festive, an ideal medium for the performers and hosts Kevin Day and David Konick to feel equally relaxed and festive about their presentations. Marie Davis gave a strong opening to the showcase with her rendition of “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” from “Dream Girls.’ Her performance demonstrated not only the rich quality of her voice, but also a strong musical sense for the flavor of the piece and the spirit in which it is best presented. 10 YEARS AGO June 30, 1999 The Fourth will be captured in all its essence in Washington, Virginia again this year Thanks should be given to Willian} Carrigan, the town of Washington and the Rappahannock Association for Arts in the Community (RAAC). Carrigan owns Avon Hall in Washington, and decided 38 years ago that the town needed fireworks on the Fourth. He single-handedly bought them and opened his grounds to the public for picnicking, revelry and fireworks gazing. The town of Washington began supporting the event years later, turning the town into a carnival of activity on the Fourth. About two miles down Harris Hollow in Washington, there is a private drive. Rush River Lane, where Meredith and Hank Gorfein share 32 acres with an assortment of stray cats, all spayed and neutered, a shaggy terrier, and three acres of grapes. At Rush River, Meredith and Hank planted two acres of cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon 10 years ago. Recently, an additional acre of Vidal and petite verdant was planted. One day, they hope the grapes will be their main source of income. But until then, Hank will take care of the grapes, and Meredith will continue working full time at Linden Vineyards. She is the democratic nominee for the Virginia House of Delegates, 31st District. The Rappahannock county Board of Zoning Appeals had a relatively brief meeting for June. All members except for Chairman Alex Sharp were present. Also present was County Administrator John McCarthy. The board approved a special use permit for Nancy Dillon. Ms. Dillon wishes to convert a small portion of a garage on her property on Fodderstack Road into an efficiency apartment. Compiled by Jan Clatterbuck

Reunion From Page A1 building these days, in the Rappahannock County NonProfit Center (RNPC). Melanie Kopjanski is the one to call at 540-987-8011 if you went to the school, or if you know someone who did. There is no charge to attend the reunion. It is a potluck affair, so bring something for yourself and others to enjoy. Most important of all, bring memories of the school, and any old photographs. Bring your stories, too. Here’s a story told by Alene Johnson who is a member of the county school board. Mrs. Johnson was little Alene Brown in 1935 when she started school in Sperryville. She told in an interview how the girls’ basketball team had one winning season after another, and went - this may be hard to believe - undefeated through 14 years. That’s what she said, 14 seasons without a loss. “We even ■ i'. ' •.

I think (in those days) it was Harrisonburg Teacher’s College,” she recalled. “I enjoyed going to school (in Sperryville) because truthfully there wasn’t anything else to do,” she said. For Sperryville school children, in the 1930s and 40s, lunch was an easy stroll. “We could just cross the river,” said Mrs. Johnson, “and go home for lunch. We often took someone home with us, someone who didn’t have any lunch.” There was no cafeteria in those days. And, it was pointed out, no air conditioning in the building. The children did have music every day. A teach er played the piano, and the children were led in singing sacred and patriotic songs. Teachers invited If you know anyone who was teaching at Sperryville in the old days, please make sure he or she knows about the July 19 reunion. Lucia Kilby was there. She was a student until graduation in 1942 and later was a teacher half of her work week and a librarian the other half. Mrs. Kilby remembers that Sperryville was a school for white students only. As she put it, “We didn’t have forced integration until the consolidated elementary school opened” in the late 1960s. She also remembers a May Day celebration: “We always had a lovely May Day program” with dances and music and, of course, a May Pole. Many stories The reunion is the place to tell, and hear, the stories of those formative years. Carolyn Thornton, who lived on F. T. Valley Road, remembers the Democrats From Page A1 a rising star which is why Shannon was there. It is also why Delegate Ken Plum, Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, also stopped by. Plum, who is also from Fairfax, gave very positive marks to both candidates and the message being played up there was unity and teamwork. Of Shannon, Plum said, “He’s levelheaded, well-prepared and a solid citizen with the temperament you need in this position.” “I’(m really impressed with John,” said Plum, “he’s a real leader.” Lesinski doesn’t strike one as a politician; neither does Shannon - although he's more practiced at talking to the press. He easily slips into casual conversation and doesn’t rely on rehearsed talking points. Plum is the old master; the one reminiscent of Sam Rayburn or Lyndon Johnson. Rappahannock Chairman Ray Boc remarked that his presence here was an indication that Lesinski has the party’s ear, and they think he just might unseat incumbent Republican Todd Gilbert of Woodstock. While a reporter interviewed Shannon and Lesinski, Democrats from across the region - including former congressional candidates Anita Hartke and Jim Blubaugh - hobnobbed and chatted amiably. Shannon is a graduate of Georgetown (Public Policy) and received his law degree from the University of Virginia. He was a prosecutor in Fairfax County from 1999 on before being elected to the House of Delegates in 2004. He and his wife Abby founded an Amber Alert program for Northern Virginia in 2001 - Amber Alerts are notifications sent out publicly for missing or abducted children. Shannon points to three issues that are central to the “security’’ of Virginians; issues he’s prosecuted as an ' MORE NEWS ONLINE... „ RappNews.com Photo by Stephen Dareing PARTY , UNITY: Steve Shannon, left, John Lesinski and House Democratic Caucus Chairman Ken Plum chat before giving short speeches to the gathered Democratic loyalists at a pig roast hosted by the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee.

Shannon echoed those sentiments when he said that he believes, “the Attorney General has to serve as the top law enforcement officer for Virginia. “The Attorney General is the advocate for citizens and Virginia businesses,” he added, after the discussion veered over to the issue of Dominion Power’s approved power line running through the most scenic areas of Piedmont Virginia, and the much higher rates that many people experienced this winter. On the power line, he said, “That’s still an undecided issue,” but a complicated one, he acknowledged. He also said that it’s the attorney general’s responsibility to appear before the State Corporation Commission on these issues. It is the responsibility of the attorney general, “to make sure the office is advocating for the customer,” said Shannon. But Shannon sees his biggest role - and the one he is clearly most passionate about - as protecting children. He was asked by Gov. Tim Kaine to chair the Commission on Sexual Violence and Child Safety. The candidates mingled easily with local Democratic party members and gave short speeches praising each other’s qualifications, and stressing Democratic unity before everyone enjoyed the barbecue and food provided by a local caterer. 6th and 7th grades at Sperryville.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo Hilary Lewis SAVING TIME: Reflective signs displaying addresses help emergency personnel locate homes more easily. The Castleton Community Volunteer Fire Company is selling the signs. Reflector signs save time and lives By Hilary Lewis Rappahannock News Staff Writer For First responders in Rappahannock County, navigating through rural, winding roads to get to an emergency can be difficult and time-consuming. Add to the fact that most homes are not properly marked, and trying to Find the correct address of an accident can be like Finding a needle in a haystack. To ease the frustration of emergency personnel, as well as reduce critical response time, the Castleton Community Volunteer Fire Company is selling reflective signs to mark addresses on the roadways. With these signs, the house or location of an emergency is more visible to responders. “If there’s an emergency, these are very visible and you can clearly see them from several hundred feet away. If there are just regular numbers on a mailbox, we almost have to stop at every mailbox to see the number. Every’ second counts in an emergency." said Sharon Komar, an emergency medical technician with the Castleton fire department. “We’re having a problem finding houses, especially at night." Komar was first motivated to get the word out about these signs after having difficulty finding a home during an emergency call a few years ago “We went to three different houses because the mailboxes didn't have numbers on them," said Komar. “We finally went up the road and saw people flagging us down." She’s not sure if the delay in response played a factor, but the person died in that situation “That’s when I decided I was going to make it my goal to get these out in the county. I felt so bad that we could not find that house,” Komar said. The fire company will be selling the reflective metal plates at the Rappahannock County 4th of July celebration in Sperryville. They can make I-1 Signs for sale The Castleton Community Volunteer Fire Company will be selling 911 address signs on Saturday, July 4 at the Rappahannock County 4th of July celebration. The reflective metal plates are six inches wide by 18 inches tall and have numbers that are three inches tall. The cost for a sign is $15. The plates have numbers displayed on both sides and are fade-resistant, so they will last for years. The v signs are made of aluminum and have pre-drilled holes for easy installment on mailboxes and posts. - For more information, call the fire company at 937-4115 or Sharon and Paul Komar after 6 p.m. at 937-5225. the signs on site while you wait. The signs are a fundraiser for the company, but the main goal of the project is to benefit Ask the Arborist By Jamie Wood ISA. Certified Arborist It’s Bagworm Time The bagworm. Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis, is an unusual and serious defoliating pest of marry ornamental trees and shrubs. It receives its name from the bag-like structure constructed from leaf fragments that are bound together with silk produced by the larva, which looks like a small pine cone. Most of the insect's life is spent within the bag. which serves as a protective structure. Bagworms feed on more that 125 species of trees, and conifers, especa'ly arborvitae. jumper, cedar, Leytand cypress and white pine are preferred hosts. The presence of the spindle-shaped bag structures is the principal evidence of a bagworm infestation. The bagworm overwinters as yellowish eggs within the bag. Larvae emerge and begin feeding in mid-June and begin constructing new bags. In earty-July through early August, fully-grown larvae secure their bags to a twig with silk and pupate within the bag. Male moths emerge in about one month and fly to a bag containing a female, and mating occurs. Eggs are deposited within the bag. with one generation occurring each year. Bagworms can cause severe damage and defoliation to many evergreen and deciduous tree species. As your local Bartlett representative.

Countryside § • Classifieds/B7-8 July 2, 2009 www.rappnews.com 66 Secret to a successful marriage: Mostly understanding each other and solving problems and sticking together. That’s all you can do. Jen Atkins, wife of Mike Atkins, Sperryville, married in Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church on May 15. 1993. A love story: Couples return to Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church for marriage celebration By Hilary Lewis Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rev. Jon Heddleston had been eagerly planning for Sunday, June 28. The foremost reason: He would be hosting a reunion for all of the couples he'd married or who had been married at Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church. Secondly, it would be the first event held in the church's newly finished fellowship hall. And he wasn’t quite sure whether the addition would be finished by Sunday. Luckily, final touches were made just in time and the congregation was able to hold a luncheon for the returning couples after the marriage celebration service. “This is really gratifying,’' Heddleston said. looking around at couples and their children who filled the church's new addition for a luncheon. “This is not about us It is about the children and the next generation ’ LUNCHTIME: A luncheon followed the marriage celebration service at Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church in the newly constructed fellowship hall. Over 15 couples returned to the church to hear Heddleston’s message on marriage. Many brought their children. symbols of their love and commitment.

A Piece of Paper sm. l»; ‘ - * - The Declaration of Independence Is just a piece of paper. Yet that piece of paper became the script for a people determined to be free. It contained words that could spell death or mean life to a new nation struggling to emerge. That piece of paper launched a revolution which produced a nation. The paper on which the Declaration of Independence was written became so fragile that, in 1894. it was permanently sealed in a steel case to protect it. The original may have faded, but Its ideas and words are etched forever in the soul of our nation. Happy Birthday, America!

Little Known Laws Booster seats required up to age 8 Summer’s here, and the taste of freedom comes with it. Families head on road trips, children hop in the car with friends for an impromptu treat, and summer camp staffers pack up their charges for a ride to the pool or the park. Many of them are violating state law in the process. Every child up to age 8, according to Virginia code 46.2-1095, must be “properly secured in a child restraint device." This means a child safety seat — aka car seat — or a booster seat. This law was extended in 2007. Previously the age was 5, but now it applies to chil dren up to age 8. Booster seats raise the child up and position the car’s seat belt so it falls across the strong shoulder, chest and hips, rather than the soft and vulnerable neck and stomach, which are easily crushed by the force of an accident. Age 8 is the minimum to stay in a booster under Virginia law, but safety groups recommend that children stay in at least a high-back booster seat until they can sit back against the back seat with their feet touching the floor. At this point, seat belts made for adults will fit correctly. After age 8, the Virginia Couples From Page B1 daughter, Zoey, on March 9 of this year and live in York, Pa. They dated for two years before getting married and both said they always knew it was meant to be. “We were best friends first, but I knew after a couple of weeks that we were going to get married," said Michael. Another of Heddleston’s success stories is Sherry and Angelo Cillo. They met while working for a bank at separate branch locations. They now have two daughters, Jaden and Payton. “We used to talk on the phone all the time, several tltnes a day. 1 told her one day, wouldn't it be neat if we met. 1 had never seen her and she had never seen me," Angelo . Cillo said. “There was an instant connection when we met." Apparently the meeting was a success, because four months later, Sherry moved to Richmond to be with Angelo. They married in September 2(X)2, exactly two years after they first met. They now live in Washington, Va., where Sherry is vice president and regional retail banking executive at Rappahannock National Bank. Jen and Mike Atkins of Sperryville were married in Reynolds Memorial church on May 15. 1993. They also have two children, Ryan and Jordan. “Mostly understanding each other and solving problems and sticking together That’s all you can do," said Jen about the secret to a successful marriage. Decorated like a wedding reception, the new fellowship hall buzzed as the married couples and their children enjoyed the lunch hosted by church members. “This will be the start of something new here and hopefully we will have many, many receptions in this room It’s so nice in here," said church member Cathy Gillespie. She was married in the church as well, but said the new fellowship hall makes her “want to get married again. I can see it very well decorated." The church plans to hold a dedication sendee for the new addition this August. Inspiring Tfiangfits by Randy Minter FUNERAL DIRECTION In the truest sense of the title, funeral directors guide mourners through the communal events that feature the life-affirming rituals of remembering the deceased and comforting surviving family and friends. These traditional practices help counter the isolating emotion that comes with grieving. Few people are more experienced in guiding the grieving process and directing the rituals surrounding death than the funeral director who can offer advice in all such matters. When the gnef-stricken must confront death without the support of inherited faith or liturgy, they may turn to the funeral director for guidance during this most disruptive period in their lives. Bv guiding the griefstricken through an affirmation ol the transcendence of life, funeral directors help grief find expression. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we understand the importance of treating those who have experience a loss with compassion, understanding and professionalism. Our dedicated stall is experienced with assisting those who have lost a loved one. No detail is too large or too small lor us to handle Reach us whenever vou need to. 24 hours a day at (540) 347-3431 We wtll arrange lor a confidential meeting. You are invited to tour our conveniently located facility at 233 Broadv iew Avc , Warrenton. Be are Ilf re tor sou. "The heart hath its own memory. like the muni Ami in it are enshrined the precious keepsakes, into which is wrought the goer'v loving thought" 11 W. Longfellow code states that children still must be restrained in a seat belt until age 16. And anyone of any age must be in a seat belt in the front seat. The law holds the driver responsible for making sure all passengers younger than 16 are properly restrained or buckled. So before heading off to the beach or sending kids off with friends or to a camp that will take them on trips, grab a car seat or booster seat to take along. And make sure any caregivers do too. — Lina Hashem MORE NEWS ONLINE.. v. V:, P ' RappNews.com j : Our people make the difference.

Music of the ‘angels’ at the Abbey Sunday lunch at Stonewall Abbey was transformed into a magical experience with the music of Ohver Norden at the keyboard. Classical, jazz and improvisation flowed seamlessly from the light touch of his fingers. It was as if the music of the angels had come to the Abbey. “I am studying the faces of the trees", he said, “and I have come to Rappahannock at the invitation of a friend to be closer to nature.” Bom in Belgium, Norden has traveled throughout the U.S. for 10 years. Artist, sculptor, writer and musician, Norden’s work is represented at a gallery in Antwerp. He is leaving for a few weeks, but will return to the Abby in August and will play from noon to 2 p.m. on Sundays. When the hot winds of August blow through the trees, come to listen and be soothed by his music. Almost Heaven Ride 2009 Five guys rode from Harrisonburg, Va., to Gaithersburg, Md., via Bperryville, in two days. These guys have a passion for bicycle riding and do a long ride each fall from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C. Their “Almost Heaven Ride” is the spring training ride (in addition to weekly rides near home), for the fall event. For the past five years, this group of 15 guys, riding together since 2001, have used their passion for riding to raise money for Operation Second Chance, an organization providing services to wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital. According to one of the group, Jamie Notten, they raised $60,000 last year. The group stayed in Sperryville, “refueled” with a dinner at Thornton River Grille and set off on their second day. Their route included Skyline Drive and then backroads to White’s Ferry and on to Gaithersburg. This makes me wish that we had a brochure of bicycling routes in and around Sperryville.
