Section • B • KILMARNOCK, VIRGINIA April 8, 2004 A Closer Look A Closer Look by Jane Tims A t lily-bedecked churches worldwide, music directors frantically seek brass players to trumpet Easter’s message. Barbara Watson needn’t worry. At Kilmarnock United Methodist Church, she booked church member and trumpeter John Ware nearly six years ago to accompany the hymns not just on Easter but every Sunday morning. She calls him midweek with selections and he combs his descant book for possibilities. Playing the melody or a lustrous obbligato, this man who played 40 years with the New York Philharmonic always en- riches the tune. Coming full circle, John’s trumpet career took root in a Methodist Sun- day School class in Ambler, Pa., when he was eight years old. He heard an older boy play the trumpet, fell in love with the sound and knew that he, too, must play. In seventh grade, the school loaned the instrument, his natural gift emerged and teachers sent him for- ward as he outgrew their skills. “Teachers are very important,” said John at his home on Antipoison Creek last week. “Early teachers teach you to play the instrument. Later teachers teach you to play the music. The third teacher guides you to your work.” He found his third teacher, New York Philharmonic trumpeter William Vacchiano, at The Julliard School in New York in September 1941. Three months later John heard the Pearl Har- bor announcement at a New York Giants game, finished the semester and enlisted. His Army band was attached to General Patton, went from Casablanca to Sicily to France, played for Eisenhower and Churchill, and was in Germany when the war ended. Home after three years overseas, he returned to Vacchiano and Julliard, where he met and married talented trumpeter Fran Wilbur. He played one season each in Buffalo (20 weeks at $80) and Dallas (22 weeks at $100), and at age 26 got the call from Vacchiano: There was a trumpet open- ing at the New York Philharmonic. Bruno Walter was music director and the Philharmonic played what was then considered a long season of 28 weeks at Carnegie Hall, where a large space between the wooden stage floor and the foundation below al- lowed for nearly perfect acoustics. Canned music hadn’t yet replaced live musicians, so extra jobs were abun- dant in Broadway pits, recording stu- dios and radio stations. Now the Philharmonic plays 180 concerts a season and travels world- wide. (John has played in every ma- jor country but China.) Home is Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, where excessive concrete, says John, dis- turbs vibration and inadequate acous- tics fail the low bass sounds that warm the music. “On the day that Avery Fisher gave the money to be used on anything but the musicians,” said John, “we just happened to go on strike. We were out on the picket line and a guy was out there chiseling Fisher’s name into the building. To this day that is remem- bered by those of us mak- ing music.” John feels that music’s key component is the com- poser, who should take first bow. The orchestra should be second, and the conductor, third. Many conductors erratically wave the stick, he said; orchestras could play the notes without them. The ultimate exception was Leonard Bernstein, whom John first met at Tanglewood the summer after the war. He cherishes the time from 1958 to 1969 when Bernstein was Music Director of the Philharmonic, popularized symphonic music, brought classics to young people and made more than 250 recordings with the orchestra. “He could do any kind of music,” John said. “Symphonic music, show music. He could write classical or modern music. He was an outstand- ing pianist and if he hadn’t been do- ing so many other things, he might have been one of the greatest pianists. He was an exciting conductor. With his magic eyes, he could get you to change your style. He made the mu- sic more exciting than anyone I ever played for.” Lenny, as John called him, returned high praise. Framed in John’s den is this Bernstein sentiment: “To John Ware, the greatest of all trumpeters.” After retiring from the Philhar- monic in 1988, John played with an amateur concert band in New Jersey until he and Fran moved here in 1994. He played “Peter and the Wolf” re- cently at the Center for the Arts in Kil- marnock, will play in May in the Northern Neck Symphony concert, and practices now for Sunday’s Eas- ter trilogy for bells, organ and trum- pet. “John feels that music’s key component is the composer, who should take first bow. The orchestra should be second, and the conductor, third. Many conductors errati- cally wave the stick, he said; orchestras could play the notes without them.” by Robb Hoff KILMARNOCK—Lancaster High School assistant principal Eric Jones has resigned, effective April 30, to accept a job in Westmoreland County. Lancaster school superintendent Dr. Randolph Latimore told the school board Monday that Jones has accepted the principal’s position at Montross Middle School. Deborah Thomas, a teacher here since 1980, was tapped to replace Jones until the board appoints an administrative assis- tant. Thomas is a health and physical educa- tion teacher. Her classes will be taught by a substitute teacher for the remainder of the school year. Capital improvements In other matters, the school board autho- rized Latimore to seek an emergency appropriation from the county to fix a fail- ing sewer line at the middle school. Latimore was authorized to ask for an estimated $15,000 to $25,000 in non-bud- geted funding to replace the sewer line. Director of operations and maintenance Tim Guill said a section of 4-inch sewer line has collapsed, causing a back up of wastewater. The problem has affected the use of facilities in the fourth-grade side of the middle school and caused a sewer gas odor in the bookkeeper’s office. Guill said the old sewer line should be replaced with 150 feet of six-inch line. He projected that at least a three-foot section of asphalt and a 10 by 13-foot section of sidewalk would have to be removed in the process. Due to the possibility of a severe drain- age problem that could require additional work, Guill recommended the school board hire a contractor on a time and materials basis to complete the work rather than seek a base bid. “Any contractor willing to bid on this is going to protect himself with a very large quote,” Guill said. Latimore said a contractor previously hired by the school division is able to per- form the work over spring break, April 10-18. Guill added that the sewer service could be restored by April 19 although buses could use only one side of the park- ing lot until the asphalt is replaced. Guill also updated the board regarding other capital improvement projects in the schools. The septic drainfield replacement proj- ect at Lancaster Primary School is expected to be completed this week, said Guill. The failed drainfield had required regular pumping of waste from the site this year. A final inspection of the classroom addition and restroom renovation at the primary school was held March 29. The project is expected to be entirely com- pleted within the month, said Guill. The high school roof replacement project is expected to be substantially completed this month with a final inspection date in May. Other action The board directed middle and high school principals to finalize proposed dress code requirements at the respective schools, including penalties for violations. The school board will then consider the proposals. The board approved its annual career and technical education and special edu- cation plans. Additionally, the school calendar for 2004-05 was approved. Among key dates are a spring break March 28 through April 1 and a Christmas break December 23 through 31. The first day of school for stu- dents is September 7. Assistant principal resigns; new sewer problem surfaces WASHINGTON, D.C.—Rep. Jo Ann Davis last week secured $3.25 million to fund bus facil- ities in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula. With the passage of HR 3550, the Transportation Equity Act, this funding will go towards the construction of two milti-modal bus facilities which will serve as terminals for passengers of Bay MONTROSS—The Mid-Rivers Cancer Center in Montross has been recommended for approval by the Eastern Virginia Health Systems Agency (EVHSA) and the Division of Certificate of Public Need (DCOPN) of the Vir- ginia Department of Health. On March 29, a letter was released stating that DCOPN expected the Virginia Health Commissioner to issue a Certifi- cate of Public Need authorizing the development of the Mid- Lancaster County Sheriff Ronnie Crockett reported four arrests during the past week. Tramaine D. Thomas, 23, of Burgess was charged April 4 with a narcotics violation in Richmond County on February 14. A Warsaw woman, 47, was charged March 30 with failure to appear in court on March 17. A Paynes Creek Road woman, 31, was charged March 30 with contempt of court on March 30. A Devils Bottom Road man, 64, was charged March 30 with issuing a bad check on January 24. Two-vehicle crash near Warsaw is fatal WARSAW—A Warsaw man was killed in a two-vehicle crash April 5 in Richmond County. At 9:56 a.m., Virginia State Police Senior Trooper T.A. Hatcher was called to the scene on Route 360, .4 of a mile west of Route 646. A 1988 Chevrolet pickup was traveling west on Route 360 when it struck a 1997 Case backhoe in the rear. The driver of the pickup, Charles Branish of Warsaw, was pronounced dead at the Vir- ginia Commonwealth Univer- sity Medical Center at 2 p.m. He was not wearing a safety belt, according to police. The door, which has welcomed customers for some 150 years, was the last thing standing as the frame of the Old Brown Store crumbled last week. Bulldozers demolished the building which has stood as a crossroads landmark in Northumberland County for a century and a half. A part of the Thomas and Hinton families since it was built in the mid 1800s, the build- Landmark to be replaced with modern store ing operated as Ira D. Hinton and Sons Store for 64 years. Standing at the intersection of Browns Store and Beanes roads, the country store shut its door for the last time on March 31. Property owner William Hinton plans to build Brown Store Market, a convenience gro- cery and deli at the site. Proposed cancer center continues to gain support Bay Transit receives $3.25 million for bus facilities Rivers Cancer Center within 45 days. Christopher Walsh, M.D., a board certified radiation oncologist who has been caring for cancer patients since 1989, expressed his gratitude for the tremendous outpouring of public support for his vision of bringing cancer care to the residents of the Northern Neck and surrounding communities. “I am excited about bringing state-of-the-art care to the area’s cancer patients, and I am grate- ful for the tremendous support our project has received from community leaders, area physi- cians, cancer patients and support groups, and concerned citizens,” said Dr. Walsh. He noted appreciation for the positive recommendations that the project has received from EVHSA and from DCOPN. Both EVHSA and DCOPN noted the center will substantially improve geographic access to radiation therapy services for patients who must otherwise travel long dis- tances to reach needed care. Among the many supporters of the Mid-Rivers Cancer Center were U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Davis, Sen. John Chichester, Del. Albert Pollard Jr., Secretary of Natural Resources W. Tayloe Murphy Jr., the boards of supervisors of West- moreland, Richmond, Northum- berland, Lancaster, King George and Essex counties, and Kilmar- nock, Colonial Beach and Mon- tross town councils. A petition in support of Mid- Rivers Cancer Center has been signed by more than 5,000 area residents. “I am truly touched by the out- pouring of support for Mid-Riv- ers Cancer Center, and I believe it underscores the very real need of the area’s cancer patients to be cared for close to where they live and work,” Dr. Walsh said. If approved by Virginia’ s Health Commissioner, the center plans to open its doors to patients in the fall. Police Reports Accidents The sheriff’s staff responded to a two-car accident near the Mol- lusk Post Office on March 30. Response was also made for a traffic accident near Ocran and Mary Ball Roads on April 4 and a single-vehicle accident in the 2900 block of Regina Road on April 2. The staff also notified Northumberland County authorities of a traffic accident in the Edwardsville area on April 2. The staff received motorist reports of accidents with deer on Campbell Road on March 30 and Irvington Road and Jenkins Drive on April 2. Other responses On March 29, the staff responded to a trespass com- plaint on Second Street and a disconnected emergency 911 call on Oaks Place in which emer- gency services were not needed. The staff received a complaint of verbal assault from a Maidley Beach Road resident. On March 30, response was made for a complaint of a pedes- trian interfering with traffic on Black Stump Road and a discon- nected emergency 911 call in the 4400 block of Irvington Road in Transit. The measure passed the House and will be considered in the Senate. “This funding will go towards the construction of two bus facil- ities, one on the Middle Penin- sula and one on the Northern Neck, that will house bus sched- uling, dispatching, supervision, and maintenance operations as well as serve passengers of Bay Transit,” said Rep. Davis. “These facilities are needed to accommodate projected service growth and to consolidate Bay Transit’s operations. These facili- ties will significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Bay Transit services and will pro- duce improved mobility to many of Virginia’s transit dependent citizens,” added Rep. Davis. Bay Transit is a division of Bay Aging and operates a demand- response public transportation system serving the Middle Pen- insula and the Northern Neck. According to Bay Transit, many of the riders are elderly and/or low income individuals, and this project is desperately needed to meet the needs of the commu- nities. (continued on page B10)

School assistant principal Eric Jones has re signed, effective April 30, to accept a job in Westmoreland County.
Lancaster school superin tendent Dr. Randolph Lati more told the school board Monday that Jones has ac cepted the principal’s position at Montross Middle School.
Deborah Thomas, a teacher here since 1980, was tapped to replace Jones until the board appoints an administra tive assis-tant.

Proposed cancer centercontinues to gain support
Bay Transit receives $3.25 million for bus facilities
Rivers Cancer Center within 45 days.
Christopher Walsh, M.D., a board certifi ed radiation on cologist who has been caring for cancer patients since 1989, expressed his gratitude for the tremendous outpouring of pub lic support for his vision of bringing cancer care to the residents of the Northern Neck and surrounding communities.
“I am excited about bringing state-of-the-art care to the area’s cancer patients, and I am grate-ful for the tremendous support our project has re ceived from community lead ers, area physi-cians, cancer patients and support groups, and concerned citizens,” said Dr. Walsh.
He noted appreciation for the positive recommendations that the project has received from EVHSA and from DCOPN. Both EVHSA and DCOPN noted the center will substantially improve geo graphic access to radiation therapy services for patients who
must otherwise travel long dis-tances to reach needed care.
Among the many supportersof the Mid-Rivers Cancer Centerwere U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Davis,Sen. John Chichester, Del. AlbertPollard Jr., Secretary of NaturalResources W. Tayloe Murphy Jr.,the boards of su pervisors of West-moreland, Richmond, Northum-berland, Lancaster, King Georgeand Essex counties, and Kilmar-nock, Colonial Beach and Mon-tross town councils.
A petition in support of Mid-Rivers Cancer Center has beensigned by more than 5,000 arearesidents.
“I am truly touched by the out-pouring of support for Mid-Riv-ers Cancer Center, and I believeit underscores the very real needof the area’s cancer patients to becared for close to where they liveand work,” Dr. Walsh said.
If approved by Virginia’sHealth Commissioner, the centerplans to open its doors to patientsin the fall.

The sheriff’s staff responded to a two-car accident near the Mol-lusk Post Offi ce on March 30. Response was also made for a traffi c accident near Ocran and Mary Ball Roads on April 4 and a single-vehi cle accident in the 2900 block of Regina Road on April 2. The staff also notifi ed Northumberland County au thorities of a traffi c accident in the Edwardsville area on April 2.
The staff received motorist reports of accidents with deer on Campbell Road on March 30 and Irvington Road and Jenkins Drive on April 2.
Other responsesOn March 29, the staff
re sponded to a trespass com-plaint on Second Street and a disconnected emergency 911 call on Oaks Place in which emer-gency services were not needed. The staff received a complaint of verbal assault from a Maidley Beach Road resident.
On March 30, response was made for a complaint of a pedes-trian interfering with traffi c on Black Stump Road and a discon-nected emergency 911 call in the 4400 block of Irvington Road in
Transit. The measure passed the House and will be considered in the Senate.
“This funding will go to wards the construction of two bus facil-ities, one on the Middle Penin-sula and one on the Northern Neck, that will house bus sched-uling, dis patching, supervision, and maintenance operations as well as serve passengers of Bay
Transit,” said Rep. Davis.“These facilities are needed to
accommodate projected service growth and to consoli date Bay Transit’s operations. These facili-ties will signifi cantly improve the effi ciency and effectiveness of Bay Transit services and will pro-duce improved mobility to many of Virginia’s transit de pendent citizens,” added Rep. Davis.
Bay Transit is a division of Bay Aging and operates a de mand-response public trans portation system serving the Middle Pen-insula and the Northern Neck. According to Bay Transit, many of the rid ers are elderly and/or low in come individuals, and this pro ject is desperately needed to meet the needs of the commu-nities.

Continuing Easter miraclesThe Apostle Paul once wrote, “As it is written,
What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the humanheart conceived, what God has prepared for thosewho love him— these things God has revealed to usthrough the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything,even the depths of God. For what human beingknows what is truly human except the human spiritthat is within? So also no one comprehends what istruly God’s except the Spirit of God.
“Now we have received not the spirit of the world,but the Spirit that is from God, so that we may un-derstand the gifts bestowed on us by God. And wespeak of these things in words not taught by humanwisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiri-tual things to those who are spiritual.” (1 Corinthians2:9-13)
The Sprit of Christ is always amongst us. EasterSunday is certainly one of those times when we ac-knowledge that. It is an extraordinary day, a veryholy day. Our ranks swell to capacity. Not just inour little Baptist church, but worldwide, throngs ofpeople will muster to occupy pews and listen to the
Easter message. That signifies a continuing outpour-ing of the Holy Spirit.
Let’s step back a bit and reflect. What no eye couldsee, ear have heard, or mind thought possible, hap-pened. God, through the death of his son, moves acrossthe face of this earth and draws the crowds still. Itwon’t be the beauty of stained glass, or the swell ofthe organ, the songsmightily sung, orabout a preacher’spopularity, or liliesarrayed that drawsthem in. God will.
How am I goingto once again climbthe pulpit to tell anold story? A fewyears back I foundinspiration in U.S.News & World Re-port (April 24,2000). An artist de-picted the hauntingeyes of Christ peer-ing over his shoul-der as if to ask, “Who is following me?”
I quickly added the magazine to my pile of must-haves. Most church folks found some of the text lessthis and that, too much here and there, but I will tellyou how I felt.
I could barely read the text, or ponder the graphicswithout being brought up short about a God so power-ful that the death of his son still makes the cover ofone of the world’s most liberal publications 2000 yearsafter the fact.
It was not only their cover story, “Why Was JesusKilled?” by Jeffery L. Sheler, the theme was also inthe section “Science & Ideas.” If you know anythingabout major magazines, you know that each writer
fights forspace. Adsget firstshot, thenthe text andpictures fol-low. Cover
pages are the most sought-after prize in American jour-nalism. I shiver to think how it might have gone intheir editorial meetings on Thomas Street in Washing-ton, D.C. God was there. Jeffrey Sheler probably neverthought himself an evangelist.
Reasonable space was given to how anti-Semitic ourdetractors view us Christians. Christ’s death and res-urrection is not an issue of history which can be recti-fied, or rewritten, relative to political correctness thesemany years later. All in all, I don’t think the themecould have been better presented in the medium throughwhich it appeared.
If I have a postscript which I might append to thearticle, it would be a simple answer to “Why Was Jesus
Killed?” It wasn’t about the Roman government inIsrael; it was not about Jewish hearts hardened byGod. It was about you and me who need redemp-tion from our sins. God hung his son on a ruggedcross for us. But, praise God, he didn’t leave himthere.
This Easter, many of us have rebounded fromviewing the movie “The Passion of the Christ.” Youknow the story; it has been newsworthy for months.The anticipated flop has now grossed over$300,000,000. Everyone should see the movie. Itis a powerful portrayal of his last 12 hours on earth.It will make your Easter morning far more mean-ingful than it has been in the past.
I look forward to other Easter Sunday morningsoff in my future, if I have length of shadow left.Even if I do not, I have twice recently receivedblessings from the marketplace. Not only does Jesusheal, forgive and receive us, He “sells.” Who’d havethought to find him in the supermarket, the the-ater? Even Peter Jennings of ABC News had aspecial on prime time this week about Jesus andPaul. What does that say about our churches? Whatdoes that say about our God?
Both in print and on the screen I found the an-swer to who killed Jesus. I did. You did.
The Spirit of God is alive and working to redeemthe world. Shouldn’t we be? Park yourself and yourfamily on a pew this Sunday. Let the Easter miraclerenew you.

The origins of the ceremony are believed to date from the 18th century when, after the Battle of Culloden in 1745, the English attempted to break the Scottish clan system by banning, under the penalty of death, the wearing of tartan and playing the bagpipes.
As a form of resistance, Scots would secrete bits of tartan on their person when at tending the kirk (church). The hidden tartan was blessed with the families. The service became a Scottish American tradition in 1941 when the Rev. Peter Marshall intro duced it at the New York Av enue Presbyterian

Dee Thomas of Bay Aging describes the impact of their contri-butions to members of the Rotary Club of the Northern Neck.
The Northern Neck Rotary Club recently heard Dee Thomas of Bay Aging who expressed appreciation for the CAPINNE distribution that the club made in 2003 to her orga-nization.
Thomas described Bay Ag ing’s services, explaining that the organi-zation is divided into four divisions: services for the aging, transporta-tion, hous ing and 202 senior apart-ments. Some of the many services that Bay Aging facilitates in clude Meals on Wheels, the Friendly Visitor Program, MedCarry, hous-ing rehabilita tion, adult day care,
Bay Aging thanks localRotary Club for support
coordina tion of care and senior cen-ters.
MedCarry is the group’s newest service. In its fourth year, it provides non-emer gency medical transpor-tation by volunteers to the unin-sured, under-insured and elderly resi dents of the Middle Peninsula and the Northern Neck when no other means of transporta tion are available.
Last year, MedCarry volun teers drove about 50,000 miles providing service. Reim bursement of mileage permits many of the fi xed-income se niors to continue their volun teer work.
Thomas said the CAPINNE dis-tribution in 2003 assisted Bay Aging in carrying out all its missions.
Her presentation was one of a series of talks by 2003 CAP INNE distribution recipients.
The 2004 CAPINNE dinner and auction will be held at In dian Creek Yacht and Country Club July 17. Contact North ern Neck Rotary Club mem bers to reserve tickets in ad vance of the public sale.
The club meets on Thurs days at 7:30 a.m. at Rappa hannock Westminster-Canter bury.
On Monday, March 29, Lan-cashire residents enjoyed sassy songs like “Don’t Sit Under The Apple Tree with Anyone Else But Me” first thing in the morning. They discussed foods with vitamins and nutri-ents said to enhance memory. Some shared “recipes for good living,” with ingredients they have made a part of their diets for years. Residents later watched “The Temptation,” a movie with hi larious twists and some seri ous messages.
On Tuesday, residents be gan a mural sketch. Bingo was the highlight of the after noon with Elizabeth Cockrell, Mousby Reed and Bessie Wiggins as high scorers.
Rev. Hall led residents in a Bible study on Wednesday, inviting them to state things that they are willing to live and die for. Many spoke of their Christian values and be liefs with strong assurance. They enjoyed a sing along in the afternoon with tunes like “When The Red, Red Robin comes Bob Bob Bobbin’ Along” and “Tiptoe Through the Tulips.”
April Fool’s Day was a great one for the residents as they tricked some of the staff in looking for non-existent spi-ders on their uniforms or pre-tend marks they were leaving on the floors. They also talked about the history of April Fool’s Day and some of the pranks and practical jokes as sociated
with it.Miss Marie entertained with
her keyboard on Thursday morning as Miss Emma deco-rated the main dining room with Easter surprises. Residents turned creative chefs as they helped to make and eat straw-berry shortcakes in the after-noon, before enjoy ing a visit with T.J., the friendly canine volunteer.
On Friday, residents on the Chesapeake Unit shared words to live by. Everyone agreed on the importance of having a positive attitude and keeping their relationships with others in order. Miss Betty and Miss Nancy led an enthusiastic hymn prior to lunch. It was true food for the soul to watch and hear the res idents singing their inspira tional favorites. Flossie Basker claimed the title in a horseshoe tournament in the afternoon. Classie Edwards won the everyone’s-favorite-candy-bar memory game. Miss Classie shared the names of 11 residents’ favorite candy during the challenge.
“Bingo!” could be heard throughout the halls in rapid-fire succession on Saturday as the folks filled the main dining room for their favorite game.
The Sunday afternoon wor-ship service was led by Rev. Gayle Fowler. The residents thank her for her service. They send words of appreciation to all who made this week so spe-cial.

On March 26, the third-grade classes of Lancaster Primary School visited many sites in Washington, D.C.
Three charter buses left LPS at 7:30 a.m. with students and chaperones. The students were wearing t-shirts donated by the Bank of Lancaster and Ches-apeake Bank. The shirts were designed and printed by Bay Window.
At 10:30 a.m., the buses pulled into Lafayette Park where the children viewed the White House. After taking photos with cameras pur chased by Grace Episcopal Church and donated by Judy Newman of Party Line at wholesale cost,
LPS students tour capital sitesthe buses whisked the group to the newly renovated National Archives. The children viewed the Declaration of Indepen-dence and the Constitution, among other documents.
Lunch was enjoyed on the Mall and a brief visit to Capi-tol Hill followed.
The highlight of the day for many children was exploring the National Zoo and taking photos of their favorite ani-mals.
They had a twilight tour of the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. According to Lyn Conley, many children were awestruck to stand where Martin L. King Jr. gave his
famous “I have a dream” speech.
The day ended with dinner at McGill’s Pizza Buffet where the ice cream sundae bar was a big hit. The buses carried the children home, tired and happy. Some had room left to enjoy the remain der of their snacks and drinks provided by the pri-mary school PTA.
The whole day was spon-sored by Margaret Socey, whose dedication and generos-ity were applauded by the PTA. It also thanked Rappahannock General Hospital and Picture Me for developing the pictures from the donated cameras.
Virginia Cooperative Exten-sion recently launched an anti-bullying project.
Bullying begins in kinder-garten, increases in elemen tary school, and peaks in mid dle school.
Students identifi ed as bul lies by age 8 are six times more likely to become crimi nals.
An estimated 160,000 chil-dren miss school every day for fear of attack by other stu dents.
Bullying has been linked to 75 percent of school shooting incidents. These and other sta-tistics are why bullying among today’s youth is taken very seri-ously, according to Dr. Jewel E. Hairston, 4-H youth devel-opment extension specialist at Virginia State University.
Webster’s New College Dic-tionary defi nes a bully as a person who is habitually cruel or overbearing, especially to smaller or weaker people.
“Bullying is deemed a seri ous public health issue be cause it is so prevalent and has such dev-astating effects on young kids,” said Hairston. “For the federal government to appropriate $3.4 million in 2003 to address it, attests to the level of national concern.”
Hairston cites a recent Amer-ican Medical Association report estimating that nearly 3.7 mil-lion youth engage in bullying and more than 3.2 million are victims.
Bullied students often per-form poorly in school because they can’t concentrate, Hair-ston explained. Since they fear being attacked, their absentee and dropout rates are high, she added.
More prone to suffer from health-related problems as a result, they are also likely to experience anxiety, insecurity, depression, low self-esteem and loneliness which could lead to suicide, said Hairston. In some cases, she added fur ther, bully-ing can even trigger homicidal violence in its vic tims.
To get a better feel for the problem, Hairston said she fi rst obtained verbal feedback from 4-H youth and their par ents, 4-H extension agents and volunteer leaders. She sur veyed approxi-mately 250 4-H youth to dis-cover that more than half had experienced bul lying problems at school.
She also recognized that male and female bullying dif fer. Male bullying has histori cally been associated with physical aggres-sion while fe male bullying, also called re lational aggression, deals more with mental control, she said.
“Contrary to male bullying,
Anti-bullying efforts gaining mo mentum
female bullying typically in volves more non-verbal behav ior, the behavior is more diffi cult to spot, and the bul-lying is done within tight-knit social groups,” said Hairston. “Because of the way females are socialized, the lasting mental stress they often expe rience from being bullied can affect their psychological de velopment.”
Although male bullying has traditionally been the center of focus, Hairston said female bullying has recently begun to attract more attention from a research standpoint. In 2003, she conducted nine female bul-lying seminars statewide for 4-H youth, 4-H extension agents, volunteer leaders and camp directors. She is contin uing the seminars where par ticipants are learning to iden tify bullying behaviors and techniques, dis-tinguish be tween male and female bully ing and explore effective methods of interven-tion.
As a result of the seminars, 4-H youth from the city of Newport News and the coun ties of Rockingham, Chesterfi eld and Botetourt are implementing anti-bullying campaigns at their local schools and 4-H camps, said Hairston. The 4-H units in Rockingham County and New-port News are using “bullying” and “female bully ing” as the focus of 4-H camp teen train-ing, she added
“Research indicates that bul-lying is a social problem that is best addressed by changing the culture or the overall envi-ronment,” Hairston said. “The input of students, parents and school administrators is vital as they work collaboratively to de velop anti-bullying pro-grams specifi c to their school or group.”
For more information on anti-bullying projects, call Hair-ston at 524-5965 or e-mail [email protected].
Club president Wonda Allain teaches the process of plant growth.

Rep. Jo Ann Davis recently voted in favor of legislation that would require colleges and uni-versities that receive federal fund-ing to give mili tary recruiters the same access to the campus and students as other potential employers.
The ROTC and Military Recruiter Equal Access to Campus Act passed the House, 343-81.
“As our men and women in uni-form fi ght overseas to pro tect our freedom, our colleges and univer-sities need to pro vide ROTC pro-grams and mil itary recruiters the same ac cess they do other employ-ers,” said Rep. Davis, a member of the armed services committee. “Some colleges and universi ties have taken actions to make it dif-fi cult on recruiters to recruit stu-dents for the Armed Forces, and if these academic institutions want to continue receiving federal funds, a change in behavior is needed. This bill would re quire equal access.”
Rep. Davis supports effort to promote ROTC programs

Pubkeepers Jack and Sherri Fearing this month celebrate their fi rst year in business at Piper’s Pub on Main Street in Kilmar-nock.
by Reid Pierce ArmstrongKILMARNOCK—Surprises
happen every day in the restau-rant business.
For Jack and Sherri Fearing, owners of Piper’s Pub, the great-est surprise during their fi rst year of business was how the tiny stage with the mural backdrop became the unex pected jewel at the center of the restaurant.
The pub is now a regular venue for a burgeoning scene of local musicians that in cludes Bill and Pam Gurley, Dave and Alice Her-shiser, Steve and Laurie Keith, Don Bassett and Neil Smart.
On Saturday nights, when these musicians headline the show, tables must be reserved days in advance.
“The amount of talent, the loyalty from people we didn’t know before, the appreciation for what we are trying to do here,” these are the true sur prises, Sherri said.
And, still, something new hap-pens every day.
Surprise was when the 12-year-old boy visiting the area with his family got up in the middle of dinner and headed out to the car to retrieve his saxophone. He played jazz with soul and brought down the house on that open mike night.
Surprise was when the fi rst St. Patrick’s Day reservation was
Full of surprises, Kil marnock pubcelebrates its fi rst-year an niversary
made on New Year’s Eve and the event sold out in early February. At the show, Dr. John Turner, a 10-time na tional Scottish fi ddle cham pion, joined the Gurleys and Keiths on the stage for their fi rst time together.
Surprise was when young Macon Gurley, tuning her voice, accidentally fell into a rendition of Amazing Grace with her par-ents, creating what the Fearings describe as “that family’s breath-taking harmony.”
With its deep red and gold
walls, the pub on Main Street is warm and welcoming in side. Small tables pushed close together and elevated booths called “snugs” center on the stage.
In the back of the restaurant, the curved and polished wooden bar with a mirror back harbors six fl avorful beers on tap and three dozen of the more unusual bot-tled beers from across the United States and Great Britain.
Nearby, a dartboard is well used.
A common misperception, the Fearings said, is that the pub is primarily a bar. Rather, they said, Piper’s is very fam ily-oriented.
Based on the traditional Scot-tish and Irish “public houses,” Piper’s is a commu nity gathering place. Tradi tional English pubs are places where families cele-brate all of life’s events, from baptisms and weddings to wakes and funerals.
Piper’s, likewise, has be come a place for business meetings, club gatherings and birthday par-ties, in addition to a venue for musicians. The restaurant belongs to the community, the Fearings claim.
“It’s their pub,” Sherri said. “That’s the way they say it: ‘We’re doing this.’ And, they are.”
Even the vendors seem to have taken some ownership in the pub’s success, going out of their way to correct mistakes, main-tain equipment and help the res-taurant shine.
Patrons won’t fi nd hamburg ers or fried oysters on Piper’s menu. Most of the menu is based on tra-ditional Scottish and Irish food. Shepard’s Pie is a winter specialty while fi sh and chips appears on the menu year-round.
Self-taught, Sherri earned her chef rank cooking for her fi ve hungry children. The fam ily became enamored with pub cul-ture during a nearly fi ve-year stint in England.
The pieces fell together when Jack, after some 30 years in the military, prepared for his fi nal orders. He gave his family the choice of where to go. Of all the possibilities in the world, the fi ve children unanimously agreed on Kil marnock, a town they had driven through on a road trip to the battlefi elds of Manassas.
It took years of planning, searching and renovating be fore Piper’s fi nally opened its doors on April 1, 2003.
It may come as no surprise that nine out of 10 restaurants fail in the fi rst year. On April 1, Piper’s Pub crossed that pivotal mile-stone.
They credit their rare suc cess to a staff that has had almost no turnover since the restaurant opened, and local vendors such as Bill Cronheim and Mark Keyser who have taken the restaurant’s success to heart, and their sup-portive family.
Three more Fearings — Tracy, Sean and Erin — help their par-ents in the restaurant by cooking, bartending and hosting, respec-tively.
Most importantly, they credit their customers.
“It is the members of our com-munity who truly made Piper’s a ‘pub,’” Jack said.
The Fearings plan to con tinue bringing music, art and literature to the Kilmarnock community in the years to come.
As Sherri explained, “It’s like that movie (Field of Dreams): If you give them a place, they will show up.”

In the event of a personal or fi nancial emergency, having organized records will save time, money and frustration.
According to the Virginia Soci-ety of CPAs, the key is knowing what to keep, where to keep it, and for how long. Here’s some guidance to help you get and stay organized:
• Maintain documents Documents that are diffi cult
to replace, such as birth cer tifi cates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, records of mil-itary service, citizenship papers, and adoption records, should be kept in a safe de posit box at a bank. For added protection, you should retain a list and photocop-ies of the items that are stored there. An alternative is keeping docu ments in a home safe that car ries a UL class 350 fi re resis-tant rating.
Passports, social security records, and stock, bond, and mutual fund certifi cates should also be stored securely, as should property records includ ing deeds, titles, mortgages and other real estate related documents. Wills and insur ance documents should also be kept in your safe deposit box, but be sure to keep copies available and let your executor or next of kin know that your will is there.
• Keep active fi les close Keep items that you refer to
regularly, such as bank, mu tual fund, and other invest ment-related statements, close at hand. You’ll also want to store all your utility, credit card, lawn main-tenance, property tax and other bills in a readily accessible place. Be sure to carefully categorize all bills and invoices so you can easily fi nd them.
• What to stash CPAs say that the nature of the
document determines how long it should be kept. For ex ample, old utility, credit card, and other bills can be dis carded once you have verifi ed that they are correct. And there’s no need to keep car ti tles or most other property doc-uments once you’ve dis posed of the item.
If your mutual fund company or brokerage house provides a year-end summary report of your transactions, there is no need to keep monthly or quar terly state-ments once you’ve checked that they are accu rate. However, hold on to all your buy/sell trade confi rma tions, since they contain in formation needed for complet-ing your tax return and retain indefi nitely records document ing retirement plans and indi vidual retirement accounts.
Tax records, such as federal
and state income tax returns and supporting documentation should be kept at least six years. Here’s why: in general, the IRS has three years from the time of fi ling to assess ad ditional taxes. If you’ve sub stantially underre-ported in come (omission of over 25 percent of gross income), the IRS has six years to audit your returns.
It’s a good idea to keep pay stubs until year-end to com pare with the amounts shown on the w-2 form from your employer. Other records, such as last year’s tax and bank records, can be stored in an inactive area. Keep canceled checks for as long as you might need proof that pay-ment was made. Canceled checks that support income tax deduc-tions should be held as long as the returns themselves.
• Keep a listCPAs suggest that you keep a
list of all items and where they are stored. Maintain a copy of the list at home as well and give one to a friend or relative who can locate the items in an emer-gency.

Charlie Lassiter
WKWI Radio recently an nounced the appointment of Charlie Lassiter as general manager.
Lassiter replaces Joseph Patton, who managed the sta-tion for the past three years. Patton is also one of the prin-cipals in Buffalo Broadcasters Inc., owners of WKWI.
“It’s been a great experi-ence,” said Patton, “but when we had the opportunity to bring someone with Ms. Lassiter’s experience aboard, I jumped at the chance. Her reputation as a dynamic man ager and success-ful broad caster is well known in the Tidewater area.”
Lassiter joins the station from her recent position as as sistant general manager of WXGM in Gloucester, where she worked for seven years.
Lassiter and her husband, Tim, live in Mathews with their four daughters.
Radio station names new gen eral manager
“WKWI is one of the North-ern Neck’s oldest sta tions and celebrates its 30th anniversary next year and I’m truly looking forward to the fun of helping BAY 101.7 build a great new future,” said Lassiter.
Kathryn K. Stout, M.D., an ob-gyn with Virginia Women’s Center, will relo cate her practice to the Northern Neck. She will re main employed by Virginia Women’s Center.
Effective July 1, Stout will see patients in Kilmarnock. On April 1, Stout will begin seeing patients in Tappahannock one day per week, joining colleague David Montague, M.D., at Bon Sec-ours Medical Center. Upon estab-lishing the Kilmarnock practice, Stout will continue to see patients in Tappahannock.
The new practice in Kilmar-nock will be fully equipped for gynecologic care. Stout will also handle full-ser vice, offi ce-based obstetrics, including prenatal care, ultra sound evaluation and post-par tum follow-up. Deliver-ies will be directed to Richmond-area hospitals.
“I had been exploring the pos-sibility of relocating to Kilmar-nock for close to two years—they have a tremen dous need for wom-en’s ser vices,” Stout said. “This is
a professional and personal mile-stone for my family and me.”
The Health Resources and Ser-vice Administration, a di vision of the Department of Health and Human Services, has deemed the Northern Neck and the Middle Peninsula medically under served.
In 1992, Stout was instru-mental in establishing a pres-ence for Virginia Women’s Center at Hanover Medical Park in Mechanicsville, a re gion that had been deemed underserved before Memorial Regional Medi-cal Center opened in 1998.
Virginia Women’s Center ob-gyn physicians, certifi ed nurse midwives and nurse practitioners see patients on the St. Mary’s Hospital, Henrico Doctors’ Hos-pital and Memorial Regional Medical Center campuses as well as Bon Secours Medical Center in Tappahannock.
The group specializes in high-risk obstetrics, gynecol ogy, advanced ultrasound, menopause management and clinical trials.

B10 Rappahannock Record, Kilmarnock, Va. • April 8, 2004From the front
RICHMOND—The Common-wealth Transportation Board will hold a statewide public hearing on the working draft of the Six-Year Improvement Program by video-conference on April 6 beginning at 5 p.m.
The six-year program out lines funding for road construc tion
which emergency services were not needed.
On March 31, response was made for a vandalism com plaint on Skye Drive, a curse and abuse complaint in the 4700 block of River Road, and a par-ent’s complaint of a sus picious person following sev eral teen-age girls in the White Stone area. The staff also checked on the welfare of an elderly res-ident on Ocran Road at the request of a con cerned neigh-bor.
On April 1, response was made for a domestic distur-bance in the 400 block of Mos-quito Point Road and a call for unknown trouble in the White Stone area.
On April 2, response was made with Kilmarnock police for a noise and disorderly con-duct complaint on North Main Street. The staff also investi-gated a suspicious person com-plaint in the 2300 block of Black Stump Road and re ceived a report of a larceny in the 8200 block of Mary Ball Road.
On April 4, response was made for a mobile domestic incident in the Kilmarnock-Weems area, a domestic dis-turbance in the 700 block of Newton Road, and a welfare check of a Boys Camp Road resident at the request of out-of-town family. The staff re ceived complaints of domestic assault from a Chestnut Grove Lane resident, a residential burglary in the 700 block of Bald Eagle Road, and an as sault in the Windmill Point Road.
Additionally during the week, the staff made six traf fi c stops with four summonses issued, responded to three building alarms, made two inmate trans-ports, provided motorist assis-tance twice, and provided traffi c control once.
In calls for fi re department service, the Kilmarnock Vol unteer Fire Department re sponded to a fi re alarm in the 500 block of North Main Street.
Northumberland County Sheriff Wayne Middleton re ported 13 arrests last week.

The Dismal Swamp Canal, begun in 1793, is the oldest con-tinually operating man-made canal in the United States. The 22-mile-long, hand-dug canal connects the Chesapeake Bay to Albemarle Sound. In 1929, it was sold to the federal govern ment and later became part of the Atlantic Inter coastal Wa terway. Heading northbound in the Dismal Swamp Canal on March 19, Joseph and Sandra Urban saw the Corps of Engi-neers are about halfway through a dredging project in the canal which is very straight with just a couple of small bends in its entire length.
by Reid Pierce ArmstrongThe Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway between Virginia and Florida is in trouble.
Also known as the ICW or just “the ditch,” the man-made canal connects a series of bays, lagoons and tidal rivers to create a 3,000-mile contiguous inland waterway from Florida to Cape Cod.
Since it was offi cially com-pleted in 1936, the sheltered pas-sage has been slowly fi ll ing with silt and sand. An un derfunded Army Corps of En gineers has been unable to ad equately main-tain large por tions of the chan-nel, and shoaling problems have devel oped into navigational haz-ards.
The ICW once had a con trolling depth of 12 feet, al lowing large ships to travel the coast without fear of at tack from German sub-marines and bad weather.
Today, the ICW primarily serves recreationalists. Depths on the ICW now vary from 12 feet to as little as fi ve feet, making portions too shallow for ships. Due to the reduced traffi c, the ICW is now con sidered a low use — and therefore low priority — wa terway.
The Corps did not have money in its fi scal year 2004 budget for an emergency dredging of Lockwood’s Folly around Cape Fear, N. C., where the depth was reported as three feet at low tide.
Making matters more dire, President George W. Bush’s fi scal year 2005 budget de funded the ICW entirely, deleting it as a line item.
That news sent boating or ganizations into a frenzy of campaigning, emailing and phon-ing congressmen.
Their efforts paid off. Dredg ing had begun at Lockwood’s Folly as of March 18.
But other parts of the ditch are still in trouble. Skipper Bob, who keeps a detailed account of his many trips up and down the ICW, reported March 30 on his Web log (blog) that seven other areas between North Carolina and Georgia have water depths of less than six feet.
A number of local residents use the ICW to travel between the Northern Neck and winter homes in Florida.
Joseph and Sandra Urban of Lancaster returned two weeks ago from their winter home in the Florida Keys. For the fi rst time, they made the round-trip journey in their trawler, travel ing in the shelter of the ICW.
Joseph Urban said the wa terway is “in pretty good shape,” although saw several sail-boats get stuck. In most places south of here, he said, the tide fl uctuates as much as fi ve to seven feet, enough to help anyone get through the shallow areas who has the pa tience to wait.
Limited dredging is happen ing in some places, Urban noted.
Heading southbound from the Alligator River, N.C., to the Pungo River, N.C., the couple
Atlantic Intracoastal Wa terwayis treading water; dredging budgetstruggling to keep up with shoaling
saw dredges moving into place on a portion of the Alligator-Pungo Canal.
“When they do this, large pipes have to be connected that run from the dredge to the spoil area where they dispose of the sludge,” Urban said. “This can be a great distance from the dredge. Some-times in the narrower sections there is just enough channel left to get around the dredge. In narrow channels, sometimes the dredge has to stop working and move so you can pass.”
He said the area around Jekyll Island, Ga., is another trouble-some spot for many boaters because of shoaling.
Elsewhere, “People can count on six feet of water,” Urban said.
A greater problem could be the lack of fuel available to boaters for the 80 miles be tween Norfolk and the Alliga tor River in North Carolina, he added.
Hurricane Isabel knocked out what few fueling docks there were in that stretch. En vironmental regulations are making it diffi cult for those marinas to get new per-mits. There is no fuel for boats in the Elizabeth City area, Skip per Bob reports.
While that may not be a problem for large, slow mov ing boats such as his trawler, it could prevent smaller, faster boats from attempting that stretch, said
Urban. The Dismal Swamp Canal
stretch, on the other hand, ben-efi ted from Hurricane Is abel. While cleaning out more than 600 dropped trees left by the storm, the Corps also dredged the canal, and it re opened in about three weeks.
Urban said the Dismal Swamp canal, which had been on the brink of closure last year, now looks great.
Local marina owners said they don’t expect much of a decline in business this sum mer as a result of the ICW problems. Yankee Point Ma rina in Lancaster and, in par ticular, Coan River Marina in Lottsburg often get summer traf-fi c from the ICW.
Coan River Marina owner John Hornby said he may see a minor dip in transient slip rentals from people who don’t want to mess with the ICW this year.
His biggest concern, how ever, is that he and his wife plan to use “the ditch” when they retire. Hopefully it will be maintained enough so that will be an option, he said.

marnock was charged with felony assault and battery of a family member, a third of fense.
Jennifer Sue Vanlanding ham, 22, of Lottsburg was charged with a probation vio lation.
Tramaine D. Thomas, 23, of Burgess was charged on a grand
Road improvement hearingto be held by videoconference
and public transportation projects over a six-year period beginning July 1. The draft program, which would allo cate $7.2 billion for nearly 1,700 projects, is subject to change depending on the out-come of the state budget. By law, the CTB is required to adopt a fi nal program by July 1.
The draft program is online at www.VirginiaDOT.org.
For the fi rst time, The CTB will hold the hearing by vid-eoconference to make it more convenient for public participa-tion. The hearing will originate from the Virginia Department of Transportation Central offi ce in Richmond and will go to nine regional locations for citi-zen com ments.
Citizens and other interested parties will speak in the order that they sign up, with com ments limited to three min utes. Groups should designate one person to speak on their behalf.
Meeting locations include the VDOT Central Offi ce au ditorium at 1221 East Broad Street in Rich-mond and the VDOT Fredericks-burg audito rium at 87 Deacon Road in Fredericksburg.
If citizens cannot attend the hearing, they may send com-ments to Director of Public Transportation, Department of Rail and Public Transportation, P.O. Box 590, Richmond, VA 23218, [email protected] or to Programming Director, Vir-ginia Department of Transpor-tation, 1401 East Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23219 or [email protected] through April 12.
