The tradition of agriculture, of cultivating the soil, producing crops, and raising livestock that has been passed down for generations. So has the tradition of gathering up those goods and heading to market, or in this day and age, the annual county fair. Locally, the Culpeper-MadisonRappahannock Farm Show is a place for farmers to show off their work. Sometimes that work, whether it be a 1,300-pound steer or a fresh-baked blackberry pie, is sold. Other times, it’s awarded a ribbon. Whatever the case, the annual farm show combines tradition with friendly competition. Rappahannock News P.O.

Monday-Friday *-■; Qyyp Member. Audit Bureau of Circulations t; ;■ , www.rappnews.com THURSDAY, JULY 9, 2009 Inexcusable Count us among those who were surprised - and more than a little disappointed - to learn that Virginia officials took nearly four months to formally request federal stimulus money for transportation. For those keeping score, no other state in the United Stats - needed that much time to get its paperwork in. We’ve heard numerous reasons for the delay, but the one that crops up most frequently is public buy-in. I'r ms? citation Secretary Pierce Homer and other state officials sav they wanted to hear from everyone - localities. legislators and the public - before putting a “wish list” in the mail. While that approach sounds reasonable on the surface. we’re left wondering what new information Homer and his colleagues expected to receive. Virginia has been behind the eight ball on transportation for the better part oi three decades. We should have a pretty good handle on what our problems are. If not, simply check in with the mother who needed 55 minutes to get to her daughter’s soccer game recently or the father who missed his son’s high school graduation because it took him nearly two hours to get from Leesburg to the Patriot Center at (leorge Mason University in Fairfax. Even President Barack Obama could have pointed local officials in the right direction. Way hack in February. Obama and Virginia Gov. Tim Kami- visited Fairfax County Parkway in Springfield to talk about area projects that would benefit from stimulus dollars.. "Were here today because there’s a lot of work that needs to be done on our nation’s congested roads and highways, crumbling bridges and levees, and crowded trains and transit systems,” Obama told a gathering of about 80 people Feb. 11. “We see the consequences every day in ways that may he less drastic, but are, nonetheless burdens on local communities and economies - time with family lost because of longer daily commutes; growth held hack by streets that can’t handle new busines-: money wasted on fuel that’s burned in worsening traffic. These are problems that people of Northern Virginia understand acutely.” Apparently, officials here didn’t share Obama’s sense uf urgency. From our vantage point, the delayed stimulus application is simply a microcosm of decades of failed leadership n Virginia's transportation front. Year after year, short-og'ited state legislators fail to deliver the ideas or money ' i • ctify a problem that gets worse every day. In addition to resolving quality-of-life issues tied to traffic-choked roads, stimulus-related transportation dollar.- are designed to give the state’s economy a shot in the arm They would create thousands of new jobs and serve as a lifeline for small- and medium-sized businesses across our region and state. Waiting 120 minutes longer than necessary to apply for those funds is wrong. Waiting 120 days is absolutely inexcusable. 5 Out of ^ the Attic ‘ ENJOYING A WELLEARNED quiet moment, this unidentified 4-H youngster catches a quick rest with her steer last week at the CulpeperMadison-Rappahannock Farm Show. (The photo and caption ran in the August 3,1989 edition of the Rappahannock News.) Photo by Cindy Mahan Letters ‘Thanks to all who sponsored the event and to those who attended’ The 4th of July event was spectacular once again at Thornton Hill because of many people. A special "thank you” should go to Gary Settle and Richie Burke for their many hours of planning and organizing the event and leading a strong local 4th of July Committee that consisted of Greg Williams, Mike Leake. Eddie Wavland, A1 Henry and Lam- Grove. Gary and Richies dedicated service to this community allowed this event to be the success it was. The event continues to grow m an efficient and cordial fashion thanks to their hard work. Mike Leake of the Rappahannock National Bank wore many hats and earned them off as professionally as anyone I have ever seen especially as an MC - he rivaled Ed McMahon. I hope NBC doesn’t steal him away. Greg Williams and his company, Williams Tree and Landscaping Service, as usual did more work in a shorter time th’an anyone thought was possible. The site was even more spectacular than last year. The coverage by the Rappahannock News was excellent and the flag on Julian Brown's equipment was glorious. On a personal note it was nice to see new underwriters come into being such as Jimmy and Beth DeBergh and John and Beverly Sullivan as well as continued support from B&B Signal (Julian & Paul Brown'. Rappahannock National Bank, Greg Williams Tree and Landscaping Senice. Greve P'oundation and an anonymous donor. The paucity of trash and debris on the grounds was a testament to the character of the people attending. The event is turning into a meeting place for both the new and old residents of Rappahannock and hopefully for all of us to learn to work for the betterment of Rappahannock County. The county, in my belief, has to become, more tounst friendly in order to bring additional income and jobs into the county so that the natives can continue to grow and prosper. It was nice to see more' local business become involved and I trust everyone will support them. As the economy gets tighter we need to work together to survive. Kelsa Settle was amazing on the stand. A number of people standing around were amazed at the quality of her voice and stated how she could make it if she got a chance. Our Sheriff Connie Compton Smith 'came along with a number of her deputies and they performed in a professional manner as usual. It was also an honor to have our delegate to the General Assembly Todd Gilbert along with his beautiful fiancee attend and make a presentation. Thanks to all who sponsored the event and to those who attended The event had no problems and is a testimonial to all of those who worked so hard to have it come together including the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department, local Boy Scouts, the numerous sponsors and underwriters and the Thornton Hill Hounds. I look forw ard to even a better event in 2010. Hope to see you at Thornton Hill Races on Sept 12.

The friend’s advice: “grow tomatoes." Kay Johnson readily admits they’ll never get rich running this farm. They “have too much fun to make a lot of money " The Johnsons, who employ local residents Richard and Linda Dwyer, keep their fish farm open all year round They explain that even in December people like to try out the rods they got as Christmas presents. 10 YEARS AGO July 7, 1999 The Rappahannock County School Board pay out meeting on June 29 brought news of an operating surplus that could solve this year’s high school roof repair problem. At this special School Board session, Superintendent David Gangel reported that revenue receipts for the year exceedt>d expenditures by $366,836 and from a different perspective, expenditures lagged behind the approved appropriation by nearly $282,000. A major element of the revenue surplus was the $109,101 in state lottery funds, received in May of this year, and unappropriated in the fiscal 1998-1999 budget.

‘What a gift the Chateauville Foundation has made to our county’ I know many of our county residents join me in thanking the Maazels for bringing the Castleton Festival to Rappahannock. We along with many others enjoyed a weekend of high quality musical and vocal performances, shivering at the intensity of “Turn of the Screw” on Friday night and laughing out loud at the wit and broad humor of “The Beggar’s Opera” Sunday evening. The work of local artists (thank you, Andrew Haley and Suzanne Zylonis) enhanced the experience, adding the visual arts to the menu. We all look forward to many successful years of this superb celebration of the arts in our county and this unparalleled opportunity for young people who are developing their talents. What a gift the Chateauville Foundation has made to our county and to all art connoisseurs. I encourage everyone to take ad van tage of the remaining performances.

Check the library, buy them in bookstores or on the Internet. The theme of the book and video is critical to our future. It is non- partisan: David Walker, a leading contributor, was appointed comptroller general and head of the U S. Government Accountability Office by President Clinton in 1998. Unanimously confirmed. he served 10 years. The position gave him the best possible overview of Meetings & Notices • On Thursday. July 9 the Washington Architectural Review Board (ARB) will meet at 7.30 p.m. in the Town Hall on Gay Street. Highlights of the agenda: Town of Washington application regarding a Control Building for the town's wastewater treatment plant. • On Tuesday, July 14 the Rappahannock County School Board will meet at 7 p.m. closed session and at 7:30 p.m. public session at the high school band room. • On Tuesday, July 14 at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall, the Planning Commission and the Washington Town Council will hold a joint public heanng to consider the adoption of a Zoning Map amendment to change certain properties in Rural Residential to Village Residential. Immediately following the joint public hearing, the Town Council wilt hold its July council meeting. Highlights from the agenda include a public hearing to consider the adoption of an amendment to the Town Sewer Ordinance as to eligibility to be an “existing user." Also under consideration will be sewer assessments, easements updates, an Allegheny franchise agreement, and an Allegheny Power Wastewater Treatment Plant Electnc Service Proposal. • The July 15 Rappahannock County Planning Commission meeting has been canceled. • The July 22 Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals meeting has been canceled. America’s finances. YVhat he learned so alarmed this calm professional accountant that he and others produced the book and video to “waken" us all. If we make needed chapges. Walker says, “. . . we can make sure . . . the United States is the first republic to stand the test of time.” Left unsaid: No republic to date has endured - all self destroyed by failure to keep spending and income balanced. There's no free lunch Killing the goose won’t produce endless golden eggs. Every citizen should read the book, see the video. No adventure, glamour, or sex. Just a scary look at the future if we don't slow spending, increase savings. The younger you are, the more vital you understand this. Political leanings don't matter Let me illustrate with an imaginary example: “Jimmy Jenkins." tnot a real person* succeeds in business He doesn't save. Generous, he promises his and his brother's children a college education, then a cousin's too. Life is good. He and his wife live well. But things change: Jimmy loses his job due to illness. Income drops dramatically, but he keeps spending. He falls behind on credit cards bills. Interest charges mount. He gets more cards. College expenses begin; he borrows against home equity. Years of college costs consume home equity; he borrows just to pay interest, which increases every month. Failing to reduce expenses, Jimmy and his family are soon bankrupt. This is an (imagined?! personal tragedy. Multiply by millions and our entire country faces financial ruin. An exaggeration? The people who contributed to “I. 0. U. S. A ” (Alice Rivlin, Warren Buffett, Paul Volcker, Robert Rubin and others) agree that . . by 2040 the government will be spending twice as much as it takes in ... in 2052 spending will outpace tax revenues by more than three to one. . . . “Failing to recognize the fiscal crisis represented by falling savings rates and rising deficits . . is tantamount to throwing in the towel and leaving them four children and grandchildrenl to clean up a doozy of a fiscal mess.” That was w ritten before the spending proposed by the new administration, adding trillions in deficits and debt to jump start the economy, re-do medical care, and fight global warming (an expensive, totally needless project, given the world has cooled for the past 11 years. > Fellow citizens, please consider this topic now. Inform yourselves. Let politicians know we want action now to correct our fiscal situation Tell them we’re willing to take necessary medicine to avoid a terrible future. John L.

Before the plants were installed, we asked many volunteers to help us keep them watered to make sure they lasted through the summer and looked as nice as possible. While the steady downfall of rain has certainly helped in that regard, we would like to recognize the people and organizations that are taking care of them on a daily basis: Baumgardner and Brown Law Firm; Rappahannock News; Gay Street Inn; Ballard’s; Butch Zindel at Rappahannock Real Estate Resources; Rappahannock County Health Department staff; Episcopal Church Women ' two barrels i; Sheriff's Office; and Laura Dodd at the Town Hall. In addition, them are miscellaneous barrels around the town that are being tended by neighbors Lisa Loftwich. Howie Sw ain and Diane Bruce, shopkeepers Stonevman Gourmet, Geneva Welch, Chris Goodine's Designs and The Inn at Little Washington that help make the town look so warm and inviting. So be sure to give a shout out when you see these wonderful volunteers watering the plants.

Bear From Page Al a window open for their„cats to get in and out on their back porch. Much to his surprise, a bear was lurking in his kitchen. “I was yelling at him, face to face, and I seem to remember walking next to him and he went out of the window. Then I realized my pajamas were all shredded and I had all these cuts and bruises on me," Dennis recalled. He suffered a few scratches on his back and chest, cuts on his leg and face, and several bruises. Other than the screen the bear tore through on the porch, no other damage was done to the house. “He got me all over and I really didn't know I had anyproblem until I saw that my pajamas were all in pieces,” said Dennis. “All he wanted to do was to get out of the window he came in and I was in the way.” After the bear left, Dennis called the sheriffs office to report the attack, hoping to warn the neighbors. Dennis said they've had problems with bears in the past, but never like that. Mostly the bears were interested in Barbara’s bee hives and trash cans, which the couple has done away with. Now if the bear returns, Dennis says he 11 be ready. “I called the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and they are going to give me a permit to shoot it, which I don’t want to do, but if I find it in the house again I probably would,” he said. Next week: Baby bear story Tips From Page A1 chase, and you cannot outrun a bear. If on a trail, step off the trail and slowly leave the area. • If there is a bear in your yard and it approaches you, make yourself look big and make loud noises. Remain at a safe distance and throw rocks to make the bear feel unwelcome. • If there is a bear in your house prop open all doors to the outside and get out of the way of the exit. Never close a bear into a room. Make noises and yell at the bear to leave the house. Don't approach the bear but make sure it knows it is violating your territory. • If you surprise a bear speak softly. This may reassure the bear that you mean it no harm. • Fight back. If a black bear attacks you. fight back. Black bears have been driven away when people have fought back with rocks, sticks, binoculars and even their bare hands.

Wakefield students help rebuild New Orleans - one house at a time By Christian Martinez Special to the Rappahannock News On our first week of summer vacation, 25 students, grades 10-12, and six chaperones left on Wakefield Country Day School’s second Re-New Orleans mission trip. Before the trip started, Charles Cowherd, the faculty sponsor, asked us to think about this question, “What will I personally get out of this experience?” I thought the answer was simple: to help American families restore their lives as much as possible and to continue to revive the New Orleans atmosphere. Here are some of my class mates’ responses. “For this time the WCDS students shared selflessness as we proved our desire to go the distance to help out those in need,” Rachel Wells, Class of 2010. “Just as last year, I take back the feeling of accomplishment and pride,” Elida Opitz, ' -JflP * - [The Legends Oh# 'fijAb 6v$& Sfak o^OJOi^yddf Thursday Night Bullride Mania.7:30 pm Friday Night The Legends - "America's Favorite Rock & Roll Comedy .8:00 pm Saturday Night Joe Diffie.8:00 pm Sunday Afternoon Shenandoah Travelers.12 Noon Fauquier Star Talent Show. .3:00 pm Circus Thrill Shows & Puppet Shows Everday » Kids Show all day • Bams full of animals ft Buildings full of exhibits S Vendors • Crafters • Great Food M Rides & Games by Cole Amusements ; ja Tickets Sold Separately ADMISSION FEE $5 (12 & under) $10 (13 & Older) Sunday $5 (Everyone) KgSjjjg§ GROUP EFFORT: Wakefield Country Day School students help rebuild New Orleans by painting a house. From left are Andrew Smith, Washington; Hanne Bever (living with Opitz family, Flint Hill); Alex Hernandez, Marshall; Charles Cowherd (teacher), Flint Hill; Will Mullany, Washington; and Sarah Wells, Warrenton. Class of 2009. “In the end, it is a human story. Thirty-one individuals, unique, of varying degrees of maturity, eager, hardworking, looking to do something, looking to do something of and apart from their individual humanity,” Andrew Smith, Class of 2010. “I learned what it means to stare at destruction and find something greater than myself,” Sarah Wells, Class of 2011. It’s hard to appreciate how much people are still suffering when the major media no longer reports on the amount of damage that New Orleans still has to this day. After coming back from the trip, many of my friends ask the same question, “Aren’t they done fixing it yet?” and it’s hard to blame them for saying this. Almost four years since the storm, the answer is a definitive NO. It’s a sad fact that New Orleans, a city rich with culture, still suffers. As one of my classmates puts it, “We cannot allow America and the world to forget that New Orleans is still in need and that all we can do should be done to help the city.” How did 31 people help rebuild New Orleans? Physically, in a matter of two days, three houses were painted top to bottom, left to right Another house near the 9th Ward was in serious need of paint scraping, before applying the primer and final coat of paint, and inside the house the floor needed extensive work where the old carpet had molded over. We knew we were helping a son who wanted his mother to return to her house, which (ALMOST) Daddy always said “there amt no free lunches” and he was right. That’s why we added "ALMOST”. Here is the deal: The U.S. Government wants to give you a S 1,500 stimulus check if you buy a qualifying home comfort system. Carrier wants to give you another $ 1,200 if you make that qualifying system a Carrier system* before July 31. 2009. TLC will throw in their “Sprint Fling Cash Back Bonus” of $350. That's OVER $3,000 being handed to you. Hang on, we know you're saying “ya, but I have to buy a new qualifying system - that aint free!". Your right. But check this out... TLC Heating and Air wants to give you zero down, zero interest. 12 months no payment financing. That means you get all that money without spending a penny this year - that’s ALMOST FREE, isn’t it? NO7 Well what if that new system saved you over $2,000 this year (and every year) off your heating and cooling bills? Would that get us closer? A typical 2,500 square foot home outside the beltway with a 12 year old system can save well over that amount every year. Add a few years of savings to those “handouts" and its better than free. Your new system will pay for itself 2 or 3 times durinq its life. US Stimulus Check $1,500 Carrier Rebate $1,200 TLC Spring Fling Cash Back $ 350 Total Stimulus paid to you $3,050 PLUS 0 Down - 0 Interest - 0 payment for 1 year PLUS EnergyStar Estimated annual Electric Savings $2,000 per year or more!

Sarah Wells Wakefield's Class of 2011 she hadn’t been in or seen in the last four years. It’s stories like this which kept all 31 people motivated to continue on scraping a house through the heat of summer. “Paint it like it’s your own house,” said Hanne Bever, Class of 2010. It’s stories like this which should motivate more than just us 31 people to help, because these stories of suffering could have easily been our own personal stories. This year was my second year going to New Orleans, and I thought the first time was a life-changing experience. Being able to reach out to people in need and seeing them smile gave me the warmest feeling inside. Going to New Orleans a second time has left quite the impression on me because New Orleans is not just four houses that need work. New Orleans is a place with hundreds of houses that still need to be rebuilt", with many families that need to be given a place to live. Knowing that I am able to share an experience like this with my friends and family is unique. I know that next year I will once again be returning to New Orleans to continue to rebuild house after house. However, we know we aren't just rebuilding the concrete things: we are rebuilding lives and renewing old New Orleans traditions. For now, while I’m not helping. I am keeping New Orleans and its people in my prayers. Christian Martinez is in Wakefield's Class of 2010. He lives in Castleton.

Dominion From Page A1 explained that after an initial survey and clearing, Dominion will begin staging material for the new lines. They will begin by deconstructing and relocating existing power lines, said Briggs, before prepping the corridor for the new lines. “The duration for this project is long,” said Briggs, and they are “asking property owners to be patient.” The project could last as long as 18 months to two years according to Briggs. ' Briggs also said that Dominion will be notifying owners of the construction schedule by letter. The much-contested power line is already well underway, with Allegheny Power at work on its section from the power generating station at Mt. Storm in West Virginia. Allegheny will take its portion of the line from Mt. Storm to the Meadowbrook sub-station in Warren County, Virginia from which point Dominion will take over and complete its 65-mile portion of the line from Warren County to its termination at another sub-station in Loudoun County. Approximately 8.5 miles will run through Rappahannock County, “roughly paralleling the Rappahannock River,” said County Administrator John McCarthy. Briggs said heavy equipment and “tractor trailers” will be accessing various staging areas for the new towers and poles. As a result of negotiations with Dominion, many of the new towers will be “mono-poles,” said McCarthy in an interview on Tuesday. However there will still be larger lattice towers as well. The mono-poles will be used in sections that pass through or between land that is in conservation easement he said. Asked by Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection founder Phil Irwin of Flint Hill whether the state Rates From Page A1 other state except California," he said. Farmer also stated that since deregulation of the wholesale market in 2000, prices have gone nowhere but up. “Deregulation," he said, “was a misconceived notion that it would drive prices down...it didn’t.” Farmer also explained that big investor-owned power companies like Dominion and Allegheny would prefer to serve larger cities and that serving rural communities was not as profitable. Hence the need for rural electric cooperatives like REC. But REC must still buy its power to distribute to its members and those prices are higher than what Allegheny has been charging its current customers in the county he said. REC also has fewer customers - notwithstanding that this acquisition would make it the largest coop in Virginia - to spread fixed costs. Farmer said that, pending approval of the acquisition of AJlegheny distribution assets, REC would keep whatever rates Allegheny has in place at the time- until July 1, 2011. Farmer also talked about the need to build more power plants in the state and to be able to strike a balance between environmental protection and the need for power. As to how this acquisition would affect current REC customers in the county, Farmer said that they would benefit by “more stable rates for a longer period of time.” REC also has a long history of conservation incentives for its customers, said Farmer, such as demand management and renewable energy credits. Farmer gave such an indepth and impressive presentation of the electric utility business, Supervisor Bryant Lee remarked, “You’re a powerful good spokesman...you make me want to pay more for my electric.” Perhaps to soften the blow a little. Farmer also mentioned that REC was in talks with Virginia Broadband and about using towers and other “high locations' to bring broadband to the county as well. County Administrator John McCarthy, however, also stated later in the meeting that the county was still planning to seek federal grant money to help pay for broadband Internet access in Rappahannock. supreme court had ruled yet - several environmental agencies including the Piedmont Environmental Council are chah lenging the State Corporation Commission’s approval of the power line - Briggs responded: “They have not. We have a valid certificate form the SCC and we feel we can move on," with the project. The only response to the presentation by Dominion came from Roger Welch, representing the Jackson District through which much of the line passes: “There’s a lot more I’d like to say, but we fought this thing and lost.” Inn From Page A1 important that you experience different locations, different cultures, and different people,” said Caglar. So when the call came in from colleague and chef Patrick O’Connell to serve as general manager at his 18room country inn, Caglar jumped at the chance. “I was extremely honored and happy that this opportunity came up. I didn’t even think a second about it and just came over,” he said. Tve always admired Patrick, his taste, and his leadership. He is so intelligent and has created something so different from many other properties.” Since arriving in Rappahannock, Caglar has been getting to know his surroundings, meeting people around town, and even taking a trip to Culpeper. He’s been enjoying the cool, summer days of Virginia’s foothills. “I love it. People are warm and friendly. So far, you cannot ask for friendlier personalities. I feel so lucky," he said. “It’s very relaxing and peaceful here, too.” As for his work at The Inn, the position of general manager entails overseeing the complete operation of the Inn, including maintaining the rooms, food and beverages, landscaping, and human resources. Of course, Caglar will report directly to O'Connell, but has some ideas of his own he hopes to bring to the table “For every property out there, there is always a next step. The industry is always getting improved, always getting better.” he said. “My goal is to get this team to the next level. Right now. I am still trying to meet everyone in my team and figure out the location and area. You have to know your product before you know how to improve it and I am still learning my product.” I Now On Every Purchase of s299 on your Lowe’s Consumer Credit msm Monthly Payments and Interest % *•' ' ' ' ' . - . r •: t ■ ’ - t 1 NoW through January 31,2010 Lets Build Something Together ALL PORTABLE FANS Discount taken at recpster.

Raymond Boc By Hilary Lewis Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock’s third annual Fourth of July celebration went off with a bang Saturday, as organizers noted recordbreaking attendance, making the event the biggest yet. “We hoped to have 5,000 patrons and I think we met that goal,” said Gary Settle, co-chairman of the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department’s July Fourth Committee, which organized the event. “The place was packed. We had very little parking left at the end of the evening.” With new attractions such as tethered hot-air balloon rides and $2,500 in raffle prizes, combined with the wonderful weather. patrons turned out in droves from across the area to celebrate the country's independence. “The weather was wonderful and I think it all came together this year. We were very pleased with the crowds,” said committee co-chairman Richie Burke. “We really wanted to make a small-town, family type of event and we succeeded in doing that. I think a lot of people enjoyed it .” The event was held at Thornton Hill Race Course on Route See JULY 4, Page B5

FARMER GIRLS: Deborah Williamson (left) and Deanna Child are no strangers to the local food scene. They’ll launch a new Web site later this summer devoted to bringing shoppers and farmers together. Rappahannock News Staff Photo Laura Ruby ‘Online farmers’ market’ set to launch By Lai'ka Ruby Rappahannock News Staff Writer Farmer Girls is the brainchild of Deanna Child and Deborah William-son, both real life farmer girls who know all too well the difficulties involved in establishing a thriving local food network. Child, who operates Flat Rock Farm near Orlean, and Williamson, who runs Seven Oaks Lavender Farm with her mother, Edith, have been involved with a number of local food initiatives over the last few years. The concept — connecting local buyers with local farmers — is simple enough. The logistics, however, are a bear. It’s difficult, for instance, to predict demand, making it tough to get farmers to commit to growing crops for a local, unproven market. Child and Williamson hope to help buyers and farmers Bradley Burke Nov. 2,1936 ■ July 6,2009 Kirk Bradley Burke, 72 of Amissville, VA died on July 6,2009 at the Fauquier Hospital after a long illness. He was bom Nov. 2, 1936 in Washington, DC a son of the late Kirkwood Griffith Burke and Hazel Katherine Santmyer Burke. Brad worked with his father at K G. Burke and Son Plumbing and Heating Company until his father retired. He then moved to Amissville where he was a self-employed home builder. He is survived by his wife of 53 years- Joan D. Burke; one son and his wife- Glen Bradley and Beverly Burke of Amissville; one sister- Barbara Ann Parisi, Hurst, TX; two granddaughters- Kelly Dawn Miller of Coma Del Mar, CA and Rebecca Bradley Compton, Chesapeake, VA The family will receive friends from 7-9 PM Thursday at Moser Funeral Home, Warrenton, VA where funeral services will be held on Friday, July 10 at 10:00 AM.

See MARKET, Page B4 ‘Inspiring IfmigfitA by Randy Minter IN THE EXPECTATION OF DEATH There are eases in which the family and friends of a terminally ill individual begin grieving the loss of the person's “former self" in the expectation of imminent death. This "anticipatory grief' can he just as painful as when actual loss of life occurs. Family and friends may experience guilt or shame at "wishing it were over” or seeing a loved one virtually disappear before their eyes. However, it is important to view these feelings as normal. Ultimately, anticipatory grief allows us to prepare for the inevitable. Preparing for the death of a loved one can allow family members to contemplate and address unresolved issues, as well as to identify their loved one’s wishes for burial and funeral arrangements. Preparing for the death of a loved one is a difficult process, since it entails acceptance of the inevitable passing, and therefore, loss At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we are here for you during such a difficult period.

They envision a system whereby producers log on early in the week with a list of what's growing in their fields or on their trees. Later in the week, consumers will be able to log on and shop the site, ordering what they want and paying via credit card online. Child and Williamson are in the final stages of securing a hub site that will serve as a weekly pick-up point for customers. Growers will show up with the quantities ordered and shoppers will stop by during the designated time to pick up their purchases. “We don’t think we’re going to be disruptive to farmers’ markets or CSAs. There will always be the clientele that wants to shop the markets,” Child said. “But, there are people who don’t or can’t,” added Williamson. “What about the mom who has two soccer games on Saturday and works all week and just can’t get to the market?” The business, as they see it, offers another avenue for farmers eager to sell their products. For buyers, they hope it will prove tb be a centralized place where they can purchase lots of local food, avoiding time-consuming piecemeal shopping. Child and Williamson hope to have the Web site online, with a couple dozen participating farmers, by early August. They’ve lined up “guinea pig families” to order online and give their feedback about what works about the process and what needs work. Farmer Girls will bring together participating families and farmers this week for a meet and greet event and the women hope to open the site up to more families later this summer. They intend to offer produce, meat, and dairy from Fauquier County The business, as they see it, offers another avenue for farmers eager to sell their products.

Everybody is really excited about the opportunity,” Williamson said, noting that there are limited options for small to mid-sized farmers who want to sell locally- lyThough Williamson and Child support area farmers’ markets, they understand the amount of time and energy IrtMag i 1U yjllM'J J'Jlit id bail J&TJ SECUIMTrjYSJEMS^NC I MORE ONLINE. RappNews.com ; required on the farmer’s part to participate. When all is said and done, the market is a day-long commitment, taking time away from production and other work on the farm. Farmers must come early to the market, prepared with a tent, change for customers, and all of the produce they hope to sell. Whatever they don’t sell is loaded up and taken home, a scenario that farmers can avoid by selling via the Web site. CSAs require tons of marketing on the part of the farmer and off-farm sales mean that producers must be on hand to greet prospective customers when they arrive. Selling wholesale to largescale retailers, like grocery stores and restaurants, is another option, but it has it’s share of challenges as well. Making the sale takes a certain amount of savvy and growers typically make only about half of the retail price. Child and W’illiamson hope to one day be able to connect even large-scale buyers with local farmers through the Web site. For now, though, they are focused on getting the site up and running and then working out the inevitable kinks. They credit area Extension agents will tremendous amounts of support and assistance.

What a wonderful 4th of July in Rappahannock County Let’s not forget to thank Richie Burke, Gary Settle and Mike Leake for their long hours of work and to Bill Fletcher for the use of his field for this year’s Fourth of July celebration. Our county is really lucky to have people like these to work together and provide such enjoyable times for everyone. Thanks to Gary Schwartz Last Wednesday afternoon when the Rappahannock News was on final deadline, contractor Franklin Mechanical was working on the sewer line in front of the newspaper office with heavy machinery. Every so often our computers would go down, with the office vibrating from the heavy equipment working on the sewer line. We asked if they could dig up another section of Main Street until we got the paper out in a couple of hours. They understood our situation and, yet, they too had a job to do. After about 20 minutes, Gary Schwartz, mechanical engineer with WW Associates, which is managing the construction of the wastewater treatment plant as well as the sewage collection system in the streets, came in and told us that he had moved the workers down the street until we got off board with the paper. He often checked back to see if we had finished. We want to thank Gary for making this happen. It is another example of a Rappahannock resident helping out in a time of need. Birthday Birthday wishes go out to Caroline Massie. She will celebrate her special day on Saturday, July 11. Hair Gallery Kwh’s been busy at the STORIES ONLINE...

Forty children attended. The school had a theme each day but the overall theme was a circus. Each day the children earned a ticket for doing their good deed and learning their bible verse. Then on the last day they had a carnival outside, which included games. The children could use their tickets that they earned during the week for the carnival. On the last day, the children had hot dogs and ice cream. Jenkins said that all the youth “had a good time.” Vacation Bible School brings back memories as I went to it at the same church when I was small. The wonderful memories still linger with me.
