Tom Junk Terry Dixon Elementary students get swine flu shots, others waiting Virus widespread, but ‘not as virulent’ as winter flu By Rik.kk Piantadosi Rappahannock Nows Staff Writer Rappahannock County took its medicine last week. Chat least some of it. About 260 elementary school students received H1N1 (swine ' flu vaccinations on Friday when a team of nearly a vuguiia Lvpanmem of Health i \DH1 nurses and support staff arrived at the school with the largest single batch of the unexpectedly scarce vaccine the county has yet seen. “As almost everyone is now aware, there’s a production and distribution delay,” said Dr Robert Dana Bradshaw, jnedical director of the’ VDH’s Rappahannock-Rapidan District, “We're waiting on the next shipment of vaccine to come in, so we can go through and finish up in Rappahannock.” School Supenntendent Robert Chappell announced early this week that the elementary school Vaccinations went well and that the high school will have its turn, but on a date yet to be determined. His words reflected the equal parts relief and uncertainty felt within communities that are either getting or awaiting vaccinations 1 or, most likely, both'. Widespread across Virginia, but not nearly as deadly as once feared, cases of the H1N1 flu are not being individually tracked by \T)H, in part because symptoms are so like those of everyday influenza. What’s being tracked closelv It’s a fascinating virus - the H1N1 flu is not as virulent as the wintertime flu, but it definitely does seem to target younger children and teens. Dr. John McCue Mountainside Medicine now — locally and across the globe — art' the vaccine shipments. Bradshaw said he expects the next major shipment of vaccines in Virginia to be distributed m larger part to private healthcare providers, which the \T)H has determined to be better suited to distribute it to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s other high-pnontvgroups, including pregnant women and older at-nsk adults Dr John McCue, who said he ordered his H1N1 vaccines two months ago and only just heard he may be get- - ting some within a week or so, has treated about 50 cases of apparent swine flu so far at his offices at Mountainside Medicine in Washington See FLU, Page A8 Fighting fat — one pedometer at a time By Anita L. Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer Dr. Gail Dolan, a pediatrician, is happy to be launching a new program focused on fighting a prevalent foe of childhood health - fat. Childhood obesity is on the rise nationwide and Virginia is no exception. Being overweight as a child sets the stage for future possible health risks, including high blood pressure, high levels of bad cholesterol, heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Dolan, who works with Culpeper Pediatnc Services on Sunset Lane in Culpeper, says that many of her young patients are overweight. « “There’s more time spent sitting in front of a computer or being on the couch watching television than outside playing," said Dolan who also noted that poor eating habits and choice of ' foods contributes to the problem While not physically healthy, overweight children offer suffer with anxiety, depresRappahannock News P.O.

Rappahannock resident honored by Fauquier County fire officials By Cheryl Taylor Special to the Rappahannock News Paul A. Poling of Amissville was recognized Oct. 20 as the “Founding Father” of the Commonwealth’s first high school based Fire Science Program which he established in 1981 to ensure that training of future firefighters and EMTs would be part of a high school curriculum. At a ceremony in the training room of the Warrenton EMS Station, Poling received a plaque honoring his achievement from Selby Jacobs, retired chief of Prince William County Fire and Rescue and former acting chief for Fauquier County. Terry Nyhous, representing the Fauquier Board of Supervisors, presented Poling with a proclamation, honoring him for many contributions to the citizens of Fauquier County and for promoting public safety. Sam Tarr, representing the Town Council, presented a plaque to Poling which will hang in the training room of the Warrenton EMS Station in his honor. Paul A. Poling Kurt Kite presented »a video slideshow of past and present students in training which showed the progress and success of the high school's program. Additional speakers, who gave insight to Poling’s tireless efforts to the program, included James C. Kelly, retired Director of Fire Service Training, Roger Sites, Fauquier County High School, Bill Shelton, Jr., Virginia Department of Fire Programs, Charles Mosby, representing the Central Virginia Firefighters Association and Bill Spaulding, retired captain of Fairfax County Fire and Rescue. Thomas Billington, who is the current Fire Chief for the Fauquier County Fire Department, made closing remarks.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.rappnews.com Get involved On Tuesday, Nov. 3, one of the country’s true privileges takes place when it’s time to vote. You may have already exercised that right in early or absentee voting. If so, thank you. Like any election campaign season, we can’t wait until this one ends - and we can get on with the work it takes to build and maintain a strong community, state and nation. The folks who could make a real difference in this election are the majority of registered voters who become frustrated and choose to bypass Election Day. Voter apathy has made its mark everywhere over the past few years - the exception being last year’s national election. If 30 percent or even 40 percent of those people who are registered would get off their fannies and go to the polls, it would stun the politicians and pundits. In Rappahannock County, there are four decent Board of Supervisors’ candidates this year, each with a sense of community and public service and diverse backgrounds. If you attended Monday’s candidates’ forum in Washington, you got a chance to get to know a bit more about Piedmont District’s Tom Junk and Mike Biniek, and Stonewall-Hawthome’s Chris Parrish and Terry Dixon. (If not, coverage of the forum is on Page Al.) Tuesday is your chance to help choose the direction the county will take over the next few years. Do the unexpected. Take control of your county. Cast your vote and choose the individuals you believe will best represent us in statewide and district-wide positions. It’s your responsibility to get involved in government.

Letters Reader ‘turned off’ by paid subscription for online hews During the last couple of years I have found it very convenient to access the local news as‘ offered by the Rappahannock News (RN > via the Internet for a variety of reasons including the ability to forward a particular article of interest to those now residing out of the local area. I now find that the RN is no longer available unless one signs up for an annual subscription at the same price, $34.32, of the print edition subscription or for the usury rate of $2 for a single one day online access session As an inveterate Internet user with a number of subscriptions to “online” national news resources, where, on the average, the subscription cost hovers around $10 per annum, I find the online offering by RN at $30 plus an affront to my good senses. 1 cannot imagine that there could have been many takers of this online “offer” nor do I understand this as a business decision. 1 am not alone in stating that this has turned many of us "online” readers off and that the likely result will probably be a reduction in volume for the print copies as well. Why, oh why, didn't you offer an “early bird adopter" at half the regular rate, still $5 above the Wall Street Journal but certainly more palatable to us local readers who would likely spring for the additional $$ to help keep the RNT as our sole igood > source for local news. We can understand that you must charge for access, but you must understand that we are not as un-savvy that we can be coaxed into accepting the rates as currently published for the eedition of your newspaper. For the foreseeable future, all I can say is that I will miss The Rappahannock News in both the print as well as the “online" versions Louise van Dort Woodviile What’s the threat? How ironic! We live in a mountain county — and our county seat is hemmed in by mountains — yet in order to get better emergency radio, we need to construct a 150-foot tower in the mid die of town, for all to enjoy looking at.

A black cat, pumpkins symbolize the Halloween season upon us. (The photo and caption ran in the Oct. 31,1985 edition of the Rappahannock News.) A salute to Major Scott Jenkins of the Sheriff’s Office Recently, the Rappahannock County Sheriff s Office held a handgun training course, entitled “Concealed Carry of Handguns” with Major Scott Jenkins as the firearms instructor. It ran for two evenings at the Washington Fire Hall and a third day at Major Jenkins’ firing range. The purpose: to be awarded a concealed firearms permit for the successful completion of the course. I'd enrolled in a firearms course a number of years ago, preparing myself for my new life in Rappahannock. I promptly purchased a rifle mostly so 1 could feel safe living in the woods teaming with myriad wildlife with which I was so unfamiliar. I’d only at that time seen bears on television or at the zoo and here it was practically a daily occurrence in my pastures along with bobcat, deer, coyote, and the like. I was intrigued by the offered course since 1 know so little about handguns, have had occasion where I’ve wanted to shoot copperheads in my manure pile and bam to protect my horses and myself and me thinks my rifle probably would have been overkill, though have been advised, a shovel would have probably sufficed, though I found that prospect rather unpleasant and a gun, if you will, provides a more humane end. I trail ride frequently. often by myself, sometimes for hours at a time and so while the course was intended for concealed weapons, and defense against humans, I was mostly interested in learning how to tise a handgun for other purposes, thinking about unexpected dangerous encounters in the w-oods mostly, and maybe a surprise visit by a rabid animal on my back porch. So, expecting a rather sterile, shoot-em-up cowboy course, I was unprepared, and totally surprised, by the depth and magnitude of the content provided, the amount of information that was shared and learned by all of us. We had a larger than expected class, many of them women and many experienced gun enthusiasts as well as those of us like me, with virtually no knowledge nor experience. Major Jenkins had us literally riveted with his presentation, a man of presence, an articulate man, passionate about his chosen craft. And a craft it is. He is a noted firearms specialist, an expert, a man who has also personally experienced the devastation that firearms can cause. And so he is passionate about educating the public not only to learn to defend ourselves but also to respect life and the power of these weapons and to nurture a healthy respect for the law and its fallibility - and the fallibility, too, of its officers and of our society at large. I came away with a newfound understanding and deep respect not only for law enforcement but also for the commitment that Major Jenkins personally made to the people in Rappahannock, affording us an opportunity not shared to my knowledge with any other jurisdiction in the country, where funds are not provided for professional training, where people can willy nilly pick up a concealed weapon’s permit online. Officer Jenkins volunteered not only his time and personal one-on-one attention, as well as the time offered by Sheriff Connie Smith and Officer Angela Deavers, hut he also offered us access to his home, inviting us to his indoor firing range, teaching us with a sincere patience, the proper stance, the aim, the importance of practice, and having us watch too, a disturbing, very disturbing video, of the death of one of our law enforcement soldiers losing his life on camera to a man with a handgun on 195 during a routine stop. So I salute you, Major Jenkins. Thank you for your time. I believe I speak for all of us registered in the course. We learned much, I’m sure much more than was anticipated. We are most grateful for your time, and most Congratulations to the RCHS cheerleaders I want to congratulate the cheerleaders of Rappahannock County High School. I had the pleasure of watching the Bull Run District Cheerleading Competition last night at Strasburg high 1 am so very proud of our team. They have worked unbelievably hard, practicing six days a week, early mornings, late evenings and all day on Saturday. They have taken tumbling classes, swing dance classes, and incorporated alf they have learned into a unique routine. If anyone doubts that cheerleaders are indeed athletes, you need to watch this team. I want to thank Melanie Torrance and Lori Dore for their hard work and dedication to this team of wonderful young ladies and young men. The team had to overcome a lot of obstacles this year, but they did so with grace and dignity and also with a lot of spirit. They should be very proud of themselves for all of their accomplishments. I know I am. I hope the county will come out and support our cheerleaders at the next round of the competition in Strasburg on Nov. 11. Sharon LeVans Slate Mills Lose the hate This county and country is so polarized by political affiliations we seem to just vote “D" or “R" regardless of the person or his or her abilities. Instead of coming together we become more divided. Certainly there are good people on both sides and all we ask is that you look at both with an open mind Close your eyes and switch the D and R and then decide which one you w ill vote for. f A former U. S. senator recently told us that Congress now reports for work at noon on Tuesday, leaves at 3 p.m., comes back Wednesday at 9 a m., leaves at 3 p.m., works from 9 a m., until noon on Thursday and spends the majority of the remaining time fundraising and campaigning. The ugliness of partisan politics at the national level has found its way to Main Street. The lack of civility even here at the local level is distressing and ultimately divisive to our community and country. Why can't we spend more time on the front porch talking and listening to our neighbors and respecting each other’s view?

I began to reflect deeply into the issue and did my research and came to a conclusion: this is not a good idea. I’m not here to bash anybody’s beliefs or choice of lifestyle; I’m writing this because I am deeply concerned about the direction that we’re heading with many of our administration’s ideas, especially when they affect our brave men and women risking their lives for our great country. First of all, in the conflict we’re fighting right now one of the most important things for our troops is camaraderie. No matter what part you play in the armed forces, being close to your fellow squadmates is an essential part of being a soldier. In the field nothing should alienate you from the people you should trust to have your importantly, your commitment and your service to all of us. Chris Doxzen Washington back in a dangerous situation. The “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy was enacted so that anybody, no matter their sexual orientation, could have a chance to serve their country without feeling like or being an outcast for their choice of lifestyle. This policy was enacted to protect homosexuals, while at the same time making those that are not, feel comfortable within the service. Our current administration is trying too hard to make the minority happy; they’re trying way too hard to put all their policies through quickly without thinking things all the way through. Considering it in a time of peace is one thing, but even the idea of ending this policy right now — while we’re fighting a war without frontlines and an enemy that preys on our every mistake — is most detrimental to the effectiveness of our military, the one thing that stands between us and countless . madmen who want nothing more than to see our downfall as a nation. Many people in the gay community find the policy to be an attack on their freedoms and say it is a form of discrimination, but think about this: If gays were allowed to be open in the military, then wouldn’t somebody in the armed forces saying that they're gay instantly call for a label to be placed on them? Besides the ranking system, everybody should have a sense of equality in the armed forces; there should be neither restrictions nor benefits for your choice of lifestyle, that’s why sexual orientation should be kept far from the military’s concerns. If you tell gays in the military to come out and say they’re different, then the vital, and often life-saving, camaraderie on the battlefield will suffer. At such a critical and dangerous time like this, is it right that our current administration wants to take a chance at destroying the brotherhood and equality that is so important in each branch of the military just to appease a minority of people? In the end, it will only create more hardships for our military to overcome, and in a conflict like the one we’re fighting overseas, that could be fatal for many of our fighting men and women.

Forum From Page A1 John Sullivan, a longtime publisher and, more recently, a member of the Wa^'ngton Town Council, brought up what he called “the elephant in the room:” local Republican endorsement of Tom Junk and Terry Dixon in what’s been a traditionally nonpartisan race. “As everyone knows, yes, 1 am the Republican Rappahannock County chairman." said Dixon, who is running against Chris Parrish (a longtime but unendorsed Republican' for the Stonewall-Hawthome District seat on the board being vacated by chairman Bob Anderson. “I did some research into this, because it really is the elephant in the room . . . There have been several endorsements of the Republican Party. Larry Sherertz was endorsed for Sheriff. Jim Oyster was endorsed for the school board, as was Frank Warner. [Supervisor] Ron Frazier was endorsed twice for the board ... So this is not the first time Republican endorsements have been made for local candidates, and I'm very comfortable - I have no issues representing everyone equally in my district.” After Mike Biniek, Junk’s opponent for the Piedmont District seat being vacated by Eddie Wavland, and Parrish both made brief statements that said, in essence, they were running as independents because they felt it was the best way to represent everyone’s interests. Junk spoke up: “1 really don't think it's an issue," Junk said. “We all campaigned as individuals. I don’t ask anybody if they’re Republican or Democrat. I really don't care about their politics The things that wall affect the Board of Supervisors are local thmg§. at a local level - the state or national has nothing to do with it But I’ll tell you one thing.

Sullivan followed up with: “I understand the notion of not asking someone their party affiliation. On the other hand, what seems to be happening is the Republican Party is suggesting strongly to its members that one should vote for Candidate X or Candidate Y because they’re Republican. Is that just me wondering about that?” There was silence. Sullivan moved on. And the discussion moved on, covering such subjects as economic development - and balancing expansion of the county’s tax base with efforts to conserve and protect its scenic beauty and agricultural heritage. The candidates - none of whom has held elected office in the county - seemed at times to struggle with answers, if not public speaking, though they all came up with at least one good point or idea. Junk, a 25-year county resident who served on the Planning Commission for 12 years, and Parrish, a lifelong resident and longtime farmer and Board of Elections member, both seemed to be most comfortable putting ideas into informed local perspective. ine candidates answers to one of Sullivan’s questions - which were synthesized from questions sent to the Rappahannock News by readers - was particular telling. Sullivan asked what each might do to protect the county’s comprehensive plan (which they all support), and particularly the 25-acre minimum subdivision requirement. Biniek, a farmer and B&B owner the last 16 years and a self-employed newspaper distributor before that, said: “Talking to (Commonwealth’s Attorney] Peter Luke, he seems fairly sure that the way our zoning laws are written, they will hold up in a court of law [if challenged by a developer, or those who believe the zoning discriminates against those in lowincome brackets]. My gut feeling is that our greatest asset is the natural beauty of this county, and if people here feel that way, they’ll fight any developer who wants to come in and do that.” Junk said: “Is it a concern that some big developer is going to want to come in? Of course it is. Is our zoning ordinance ironclad protection against that? No. That’s why, when the Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Adjustment and the supervisors apply the ordinance, they apply it fairly, to everyone. Acting in one voice will help keep the county the way it is. Having our zoning applied fairly to everyone will keep out the things that the people obviously do not want." Dixon, a real estate broker with experience running his own businesses and a large trade association board, said: “The 25-acre density - that’s key to the beauty of the county.

I talk to people about real estate every day. And they say, ‘Oh, Rappahannock, that’s where you have those 25acre lots,’ and 111 say, 'Yes, and thank God that's what we have because that’s what gives as the beauty and scenery that we’ve all come to enjoy and love" And Parrish, who also served on the county’s Board of Assessments for all but the most recent tax reassessment, said: ‘There’s a difference between greed and need. When you’re talking about developers coming in, that’s a matter of greed. When you're talking about people aiming into the county trying to find an affordable plate to live, that’s a situation of need 1 do think that if we pay attention to the need, that w ill possibly help preclude greed from moving in " Sullivan also asked about balancing shrinking state1 budgets and rising costs with promises not to raise taxes i promises repeated out loud Monday night by Junk and Dixon i. How to find ways to expand the tax base, or find other ways to increase funding for schools9 “Next year will he an interesting year," Dixon said, "with budgets cuts aiming down from the state, aists going up, and so forth - something has to give. One of the main reasons I am running is to find some ways to not raise real estate taxes (to cover the difference] l-jiniiivu luiuiiiui Liai growth, as called for by the comprehensive plan, is what I believe we should be working toward If we can broaden the tax base, meals and lodging taxes and others, that's the onlyway we’re going to be able to work things out, so that smallparcel landowners don’t get taxed out of their homes and we can keep our good schools " Biniek suggested looking at efforts underway to sell and distribute local agricultural produce and other pn ducts via retail and Internet-based cooperatives and buyers’ clubs, citing efforts by ClifT Miller, Joyce Hannon and Jerome Niessen already begun in Rappahannock. 'Though any expansion of businesses in the county increases the tax base, Biniek’s suggestion at the forum that the county’s revenues from such operations might come in the form of sales tax shares has inspired a lively debate since on Rappnet, the county’s email listserve.) “The best-case scenario is that we can get our Composite Index down,” Pamsh said, “and the state will send us a lot more money for our schools. It turns out the county is one of the wealthiest in the state. The one thing that’s helping us ... at the moment is all the property that goes into conservation easement is figured into the Composite Index at a lower rate - a large farm might be worth $3 million, but it will go into the Index at $400,000. But.. . there’s no easy answer, the whole job is a balancing act between the teal estate taxes and the school budget ” Asked how they might balance the desires of their constituents - the not-in-my-backyard factor - with projects that might be good for the county overall, the candidates more or less agreed that working out differences was paramount “A great example is Lonn Maazel’s last work [summer music festival in Castletonj," Dixon said “I’ve not heard anyone say anything other than it was a fabulous event. 1 live on that Scrabble Road, and 1 was a little concerned about the traffic. But that's a great example of people working together - I didn’t notice any adverse* effects whatsoever. That’s the idea - that working together, having an open mind, taking in all aspects can hnng about great results.” “That's the nice thing about special events,” Parrish added. “They’re temporary. They come and they go, and they leave their money hen* And it’s the beauty and charm of this county that's going to keep the tourists coming. “And 111 add that the only neighboring county that has a lower tax rate than we do is warren County And that 8 because they have a tremendous amount of factories, the Inland Port and so on, that we don’t want here. To have these special events, and the B&Bs and restaurants, and all these* things that we can actually get tax revenue from, is our best scenario " Cell towers came up, and - unlike years ago - all candidates were m favor. Only Junk, however, put in in proper perspective: "I was on the Planning Commission when we went through the whole cell tower thing. What people didn't want then, they want today. However, since we wore out Spnnt from putting up towers and things, most of the other communications people don’t want to cover out here. If you follow the ordinance the way it is written now - and we had walling takers - we would have cell towers." AriuEstonVriiemoo-ii las^Onlil'IieVWallet f%%f*r*f***mtt* 'IWUBPilrti*** 1t Any :;‘F .

Reading your way to better gardens Like most other pursuits, you won’t learn how to be a great gardener just by reading a book or two. It takes getting out there, getting your hands dirty, and learning from your successes and mistakes. The more we understand about how things work, however, the smaller our mistakes can be. All of the books I am going to mention here are a fun read, and with winter approaching they make a fine way to pass the time, dreaming of what we’ll do next spring. “The Garden Primer” by Barbara Damrosch: I love this book. It really is a primer — it’s as basic a resource as you could hope for, with chapters on what plants need, planning your landscape, gardening gear, and how to buy plants. She also has chapters on the major categories of plants, from annuals, perennials, and vegetables, to lawns, shrubs, trees, even houseplants. “The Truth About Organic Gardening” by Jeff Gilman: Dr. Gilman is an associate professor of Horticultural Science at the University of Minnesota. This is an incredibly important book because he very plainly explains, why organic does not always equal better or safer. An organic fertilizer, used improperly, can burn plants and create runoff issues just as badly as a synthetic fertilizer can. Similarly, a non-selective organic pesticide will kill everything in its Beyond the Lawn David Marciniak L path, just like a man-made compound will. If you want to garden organically, and you want to choose the safest and most effective methods, this is an excellent book. t “The American Horticultural Society A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants:” While I usually default to either my personal photo library or online sources, I still love having this book around. I can use it as a reference for very basic information on a specific plant and cultivar. I can also use it if, for example, I want to use an iris, but I don’t know which variety I want. With 1,000 pages of wonderful plant photos, this book helps me zero in on the right plant. “Mid-Atlantic Gardener’s Guide by Andre and Mark Viette:” It certainly isn’t every plant that grows here, nor are they all the right plants for every situation, but if you’re just getting started this is a fantastic resource. Almost everything in the book is readily available at local nurseries. Andre Viette is a local plants man, with a beautiful nursery out in Fishersville. If you’re a plant lover you owe it to yourself to go check it out. David Marciniak is a Landscape Designer and garden enthusiast who resides in Culpeper.

Gang violence decreases in Northern Va. By Jana Wagoner Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Northern Virginia region is holding its own in the fight against gangs, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to let up. That was the message local law enforcement and community leaders sent Oct. 26 when they released a comprehensive gang assessment for the years 2003 through 2008. The 62-page report looks at gang activity within 1,300 square miles of Northern Virginia, including Loudoun, Fairfax, Prince William and Fauquier counties. Overall, the assessment shows a 13 percent decrease in gang-related crimes in the region from 2003 to 2007. Part of that success is attributed to the formation of the Northern Virginia Gang Task Force in 2003, which tracks pangs and gang activity with a multyurisdictional approach. According to Ken Billingsley, who authored the report, other parts of the country have tried to study gang activity by looking at one or two hotspots, and they have not been as successful in fighting it. The regional task force here, said U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf (R10th), is becoming a model for the rest of the nation.

He said he has spoken to several Maryland representatives about starting regional task forces in their jurisdictions and would like to see U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder expand them throughout the nation. Lillian Brooks, director of the juvenile court servicing unit for the city of Alexandria, spoke about the importance of implementing gang intervention and prevention programs around the region. She has helped with identifying youth at risk of joining gangs and finding ways to steer them away. She works to get them involved in positive community programs dealing with things like sports and the arts. So far, 90 percent of the youth the task force has worked with have remained without a criminal record. Another aspect is finding youth involved in gangs and helping them get out. The task force has a tattoo removal program to help. “This program has really been helpful in serving all the kids in the region,” Brooks said. But although the numbers show positive progress on the area’s handling of gang activity, Leesburg Police Chief Joe Price, chairman of the Northern Virginia Regional Gang Task Force, said it’s not the time to “rest on our laurels.” “Gangs are still a very real threat to our public safety,” he said, adding that while only 2 percent-of overall crime in the region is gang-related, that number increases to 5 percent for violent crime. “We have to remain vigilant,” Price said. “We’re not going to give them that inch they’re looking for,” Simpson said. Obesity From Page A1 already active or plays a sport or is a new walker, a handy log will keep track of every step taken. Ultimately, Dolan would like to see her young clients walking at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week, taking 10,000 steps a day. “It’s really not hard to do,” said Dolan who suggests as a tip trading out screen time for a view while walking. Literature in the packet reinforces one of Dolan’s messages that fighting fat doesn’t mean eliminating it altogether from your diet. Information is provided to help parents know which fats to avoid, those to moderate and those that are good for you. “It’s important to eat a diet low in bad fats,” said Dolan emphasizing that deep-fried foods should be avoided, butter, whole milk and red meat should be moderated and good oils can be found in nuts and avocados. Eating healthy and staying fit are not always easy, but Dolan hopes that with the help of the Steps for Healthier Living program, her young patients will look forward to bringing her good results from their Step Dig when they come for followup appointments. “You can’t get too much fiber,” said Dolan who advocates regular amounts in the diet. Citing numerous health benefits, Dolan pointed out that eating fiber helps decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. Fiber also helps eliminate cholesterol and bad fats from your body. “One way to treat high cholesterol in children is to prescribe a drug like Lipitor,” said Dolan adding, “but we really don’t know the long-term effects of a child taking Lipitor year after year. “I’d rather give families the tools to help them learn about healthy eating and fitness and get them on a good track early in life,” she said. With clients reporting every 30 days, Dolan can track their progress and make changes as necessary. “It’s important to get them on a steady course,” she said.

Optimistic that Steps for Healthier Living is going to be a winner in the battle of the bulge among her young clientele, Dolan is grateful to have received the grant. Donors to the Culpeper Regional Educational Foundation can specify that money be put in an undesignated fund for areas of greatest need. A three-member panel consisting of Dr. Morton Chiles, Janice Suter, vice-president of nursing and Mary Jane Glass, a foundation board member, awarded Dolan the grant from more than a dozen applications. Aimed at youngsters 10 and over, the program has been in place since September and several are already enrolled at no cost to the patient. “Society works against us," said Dolan. “So much is auto mated...we just need to get more active. Walking is free.” “We need to look at root causes and work collaboratively with parents,” Dolan said. “How can we improve healthy habits? The time to take those first steps is now. . .when they are young.” For more information on the work of the Culpeper Regional Educational Foundation, contact Executive Director Cyndv Colson at (540) 829-8812 or ccolson@culpeperhospital.com Flu From Page A1 Because the H1N1 virus is so widespread, medical professionals are now assuming that any flu-like symptoms mean it’s H1N1.

Though his office1 does have standard flu vaccines, he recommended that anyone w ho wants one get their flu shot at one of the many drugstore and grocery chains, where it’s much cheaper, if not free. Earlier last week, the state’s other high-priority group - first responders, rescue squads and volunteers, received vaccinations at the county's office of the Virginia Health Department in Washington. Bradshaw said more vaccine, including a vaccination session at the high school, should be coming by midNovember. “We tried to look at schools across the district, starting in the elementary schools - the younger kids tend to be a little bit higher risk,” said Bradshaw, who traveled to Orange County Friday with another vaccination U*am, one of three dispatched in the district that day “We wanted to be able to do an entire school at one time. So basically we had to look at how many vaccines we had on hand, and we tned to find schools that were the right size that we’d be able to do the entire school at one time.

Hospice of the Rapidan’s gala dinner raises over $55,000 By Nancy Walbridcf.0’CONNELL Special to the Rappahannock News Over 100 friends and supporters of Hospice of the Rapidan turned out in stvle at The Joesph R. Daniel Technology Center in Culpeper to support the hospice’s “A Cornucopia of Care" gala. It was the annual fundraiser to support compassionate and dignified end-of-life care in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties. The dinner dance on Oct. 17 honored three area residents who have made a difference in their communities: John James of Orange, Thomas E. Reynolds, M.D of Culpeper and David Snyder, M.D. of Rixeyville. Proceeds from the event, which exceeded $55,000, will support Hospice of the Rapidan’s longstanding commitment to provide outstanding end-of-life care for every resident of the counties it serves regardless of their ability to pay as well as its comprehensive grief care and educational programs, for which it receives no direct payment. Thirty area businesses and community leaders sponsored the gala, and 80 other area businesses donated products or services which were offered for auction to gala guests. Cindy Greene of cbgreene interiors transformed the large technology center, which is a facility of Germanna Community College, into a fall harvest of cornucopias and color. Greene was joined by over 40 Hospice of the Rapidan volunteers who assisted with the gala. The evening’s auctions, run by auctioneer Kathy Shumate of Shumate Auctions, raised over $14,000. Executive Director Kathy Clements said. “The generosity and support of the evening’s sponsors, guests and volun teers was inspirational, especially in light of current economic challenges. It says a lot about the spirit of the community we live in. The event was one of the largest fundraisers in our 26 year history and will go a long way towards helping us continue to provide the best possible care to every patient without regard to their financial resources.” Neil Mairs of Culpeper, the evening’s master of ceremonies and a board member and past president, thanked the sponsors and guests for their support and also urged them to continue to be large hearted as Hospice of the Rapidan embarks on ambitious plans to build a hospice house to serve patients and families whose care needs exceed those that can reasonably be met at home.

From Nov. 9 through Jan. 2, the Skyline Drive between Front Royal (Mile 0 at U.S. Highway 340) and Thornton Gap (Mile 31 at U.S. Highway 211*, and between Swift Run Gap (Mile 65 at U.S. Highway 33* and Rockfish Gap (Mile 105 at U.S. Highway 250), will be closed daily between 5 p.m and 8 a m. The central portion of the drive, between Thornton Gap and Swift Run Gap, will remain open for overnight access to Skyland Resort and Big Meadows Campground until those facilities close on Nov. 29. Then, beginning Nov. 29 through Jan. 2, the entire length of the Skyline Drive wall be closed daily from 5 p.m. until 8 a m. Bogle said, “Closing portions of the Skyline Drive enables rangers to concentrate patrols on problem areas and to increase contacts along the park boundary” Bogle also reminded the public that the park has a reward program to assist in combating illegal hunting in the park. “A reward will be paid to anyone who furnishes information which leads to the conviction of any person who hunts, transports, or attempts to transport illegally taken wildlife within the park." said Bogle. Anyone with information about such activities should call the nearest Ranger Station or park headquarters (toll free. 1-800-732-0911; or J 540 > 999-2227).

School News Rapp schools among top 10 in on-time graduation By R(x;er Piantadosi Rappahannock News Staff Writer Among 132 school divisions in the state, Rappahannock County is now ranked 7th for its on-time high school graduation rate. With 92.6 percent of students who enter 9th grade together graduating within four years, Rappahannock County's school division is tied with York County at No. 7 m the state’s rankings for school divisions, county School Superintendent Robert Chappell said this week. Divisions, which correspond to Virginia’s county and city boundaries, often contain more than one high school - though Rappahannock does not. Highland County and the city of Falls Church top the rankings with 96.6 and 96.3 percent on-time graduation rates, respectively. The state average is 83.2 percent. “I credit this to the employees of RC PS who work very carmgly and effectively with children, especially our teachers and support staff," Chappell said. The county school system also recently reported a zeropercent dropout rate for the 2008-2009 school year, the second time it achieved that rate in the last three school years, Chappell said. Yearbook donation Following a discussion on Photo by Jacob Hendren LOCAL REVELER: Castleton's Julia Hendren, 10, is in the “Washington Revels" cast next month in D.C. Rappnet. the county's email listserve, about the high cost of yearbooks initiated by a parent who didn’t think she could afford the $60 fee for her child's copy, a Falls Church company founded by one of the participants in the discussion donated $2,800 to reduce the cost of yearbooks for all students at Rappahannock County High School to $50. The school board acknowledged the gift from IntelliDyne at its most recent monthly meeting earlier this month. IntelliDyne founder Robert L. Grey, who owns a farm near Washington, had participated in the online discussion, during which several others, including Rappahannock photographer Bob Franklin, ironwork artist Nol Putnam and Plant-a-Row founder Hal Hunter, each offered to help a family who needed it enough to pay for a student’s yearbook. Rappahannock’s ‘Revels’ Julia Hendren, 10, daughter of Kendra and Pat Hendren of Castleton, was chosen from among 50 young auditioners to be in this year's “Washington Revels" at Lisner Auditorium next month. Hendren, who is homeschooled and a frequent participant in Belle Meade School activities, will have a singing and dancing part in the Children’s Chorus in this year’s “Revels," the 27 th annual installment of the popular annual Christmas show. “Right now, rehearsals are every Wednesday night at Revels headquarters,” said Kendra Hendren, who said the cast works gradually up to nightly rehearsals the week before the shows. Julia’s older brother Jake, 13, her mother said, also successfully auditioned for a part three years ago in the “Revels” - which this year offers eight shows on weekends from Dec. 5 through 13.

Would-be farmers should be realistic about farming prospects One of the most common questions that is received at local Extension offices today seems to begin with the phrase “I just bought X-number of acres." The initial phrase is followed by the comment, “I would like to start a farm on my property, but I am not sure what is the best type of farm for my property." In order to determine the answer to that question, the land owner needs to take an inventory of resources needed to establish a business. What are the land resources — acreages, hillside or bottom land, and fertility (well-cared for or low fertility), availability of water, and buildings? What are the financial resources needed to establish the business? Will savings or borrowed capital be used to finance the start-up costs? Some businesses require significant capital investments e g. stables for horse boarding business or equipment to raise and harvest crops. How much time do you want to devote to the business? Full time or part time? Will you depend on family labor to operate the business? Your spouse and family members may have different ideas on the amount of time they wish to devote to the business. If you are depending on family members to help in the business, will they be available to work in the business when they are needed. When your teenagers have their drivers' licenses, how much time will they will be willing to help on the farm? A warm sunny day with a slight breeze that is great for making for making hay is a also great day for sailing, hiking or bike nding. Privacy is an issue that needs to be considered Are you comfortable haring people on your farm? Owners of Upick operations and horse boarding operations will have customers on their farms during weekends and times when people are not at work. Finally, owners need to determine how much time they will be willing to commit to the business during the year. Crop enterprises have seasonal time commitments. Livestock enterprises require someone to feed and monitor the animals 365 days a year. Land owners need to ask themselves how much money they want to make from this business9 Will the business be Extension Experts Peter Callan full time or part time? By determining the amount of money they wish to generate, the business owner can select an enterprise that provides the required income and utilizes the farm’s resources. Once the enterprise has been selected, the entrepreneur needs to conduct market research. Who is going to buy their product and where do they live? How much will people pay for the product? Where will the product be sold? Producers need to develop strategies that will help them meet their financial goals. Realistic cash flow budgets are the keys to determining the viability of the prospective businesses. A new landowner needs to spend time thinking over and answering a majority of these questions. After they've answered these questions, an Extension agent can help guide the landow’ner through the process of choosing a direction for the management of their land. Landow-ners need to be realistic in their expectations on the time commitment, land resources and the income that can be generated on their land. If agriculture was a high return industry, more than two percent of our nation’s population would be engaged in it!

This feeling should spur discussion that will, it is hoped, lead to greater understanding and more positive attitudes.

Traveling from the Gettysburg Historic Train Station in Adams County, Pa. through Maryland and Fauquier County before heading on to Monticello in Charlottesville, the Oct. 21 tour stopped six times along the way to thank supporters and urge travelers to take advantage of all that the area has to offer. “Our region holds more history and heritage than anywhere else in the country. We’re here today to celebrate becoming the 99th scenic byway in the country,” said Cate Magennis Wyatt, JTHGP president, referring to the Oct. 16 designation granted to the 180-mile long JTHG thoroughfare by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation. The JTHG is a four-state partnership from Gettysburg to Monticello that brings businesses, developers, preservationists, heritage sites, residents and elected officials together to celebrate the impressive history made along Old Carolina Road, which is comprised of U.S. 15, Route 231, Route 20, and Route 53. “This represents years of dedication to sustaining the unique cultural, historic and natural resources. We have a lot of people to thank.” Wyatt said. The Journey Through Hallowed Ground includes nine presidential homes, thousands of national registered sites, 30 Historic Main Street communities and the nation’s largest collection of Civil War sites. “This proves we did the right thing," she said, in reference to forming the Journey partnership in 1992. “We still have a lot of work to do, making people aware of this great heritage." In that vein, the JTHGP announced last week plans to launch a new certified hospitality-training program to help local businesses within the JTHG National Heritage Area reap the financial rewards from the flood of visitors expected to travel to the state during the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. This month, the JTHGP will kick off a new, groundbreaking Certified Tourism Ambassador (CTA) program. “The Sesquicentennial of the Civil War has the potential to jump start the local economy, much like the Olympics or the Super Bowl coming to town,” said Wyatt, “Tourism is the number one industry throughout the JTHG National Heritage Area, affecting one in every seven jobs in some partnering jurisdictions. We have a chance to make every visitor feel so welcome, so connected to our nation’s history, that they’ll come for the Civil War and leave with a burning sense to return for 100 other reasons.” According to Wyatt, research indicates that interest in the Civil War's anniver sary could double the number of tourists visiting the state’s historical sites. “Strong customer service is the number one tool to help visitors spend more time and money in any destination,” said Alisa Bailey, president of the Virginia Tourism Corporation. “Knowledgeable and trained personnel can help transform a visit into an extraordinary' experience that visitors will never forget.” Tourism in Virginia, for example, is one of the state’s largest industries, generating $19.2 billion in revenue and supporting 210,620 jobs in recessionary 2008, according to a recent study published by the Virginia Tourism Corporation. In the 10 Virginia counties within the JTHG National Heritage Area, tourism generated more than $2.93 billion in revenue. Throughout the northern Piedmont, those numbers break down as follows: Fauquier County generated $146 62 million in revenue and 1.740 jobs; Rappahannock County earned $18.7 million in revenue and 190 jobs; Loudoun County $1.43 billion in revenue and 16,180 jobs; Culpeper County $27.55 million in revenue and 340 jobs, and Prince William County $438 million and 5,700 jobs, according to the VTC study.

RCCA marks 10th anniversary Celebrating its 10th anniversary and hitting the $100,000 mark in donations to the Farmland Preservation Program (FPP), the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA) will hold its annual meeting at Wakefield Country Day School, Sunday, Nov. 15 from 4-7 pm. “We’re aiming to make this a fun event because we have so much to celebrate,” said Cheri Woodard, RCCA president. “We’ve been able to hit the $100,000 in supporting the FPP due largely to the success of our annual ‘Rappahannock Evening View’ fund-raising event which has been held every May for the last six years,” she said. The purpose of the county’s FPP is to save productive farmland through the purchase of all or a portion of the development rights on the property, thus giving the farm owner an economic return while preserving the property for agricultural use. In addition to RCCA, the county and other non-profit organizations have contributed to the FPP funds which in total are matched by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Since the end of 1998, the amount of land in conservation easement has almost tripled from 9,826 to 27,945 acres. “We are proud to have been a contributing factor in that amazing growth,” said Woodard. County Administrator John McCarthy will give a short history of land preservation in Rappahannock County and the FPP program as well as sharing his take on the opportunities and challenges ahead in preserving land. Also, the organization’s distinguished service award will be presented at the event. Open to the public, light refreshments will be served. For more information go to www.rccava.org or call 540-987-9118. Wakefield is located at 1059 Zachary Taylor Highway in Flint Hill.
