Career Resource Center relocated The Rappahannock Career Resource Center recently moved to a new location for easy access to the several resources that are available in locating and applying for job opportunities and training.

You will find assistance in evaluating your employment requirements and how to use the several information sources and tools for conducting a job search. Help is also available for preparing and submitting a resume and job application, including cover letter if appropriate. To facilitate them operations, the Center is equipped with a computer (connected to the Internet) with laser printer, and a fax machine. Additionally, there are materials with helpful articles concerning resume writing, interview techniques with practice questions and mistakes to avoid, salary negotiation tips, etc. The computer has been setup with a menu of resources to locate job opportunities in any locality and with search focus on types of jobs you select. In some instances, special forms such as state or federal employment applications can be printed or prepared on line and submitted electronically as you view the job information. Resumes can also be submitted See RESOURCE, Page A8 Time for leadership By Richard L. Biby and Robert T. Dennis Special to the Rappahannock News This is a final effort prior to Board of Supervisors’ action on the Sprint application to seek proactive movement by our County government toward cellular service providing optimum benefits to Rappahannock residents, rather than watch a simple yes or no vote on a proposal from the cellular industry to serve those using some of our highways. With County leadership, we might also see early solution of our fire and rescue communications problem. On the other hand, a simple yes vote could lock the County into a situation that effectively denies meaningful cell ser vice to residents for years, and increases the difficulty of providing satisfactory emergency communications. We believe that cell service will come to our County. Just as the worldwide economy has forced changes in our agriculture, and just as technology has led television fronj towers jfo cable to satellite, telephone is vmoving inevitably from wire to wireless. What we will need in Rappahannock is wireless telephone that works for a sparse population scattered among hills and hollows — and that means stationary cellular facilities until whenever in the future telephone too goes satellite. Also, we accept that the Federal Telecommunications Act has been interpreted locally to require Rappahannock County to provide here what amounts to spot industrial zoning to serve cellular companies. But, certainly, that Act does not tell the County where to place those zones, or the details of the policies by which those zones will be governed. The Act does not require the County to accept whatever a cellular company proposes, nor does it over-ride the scenic, historic, and private property value protection policies of our ordinances. On the contrary, Federal law provides that the County may subject a cellular company to any “reasonable” land use regulation.

According to Rappahannock County Sheriff Larry Sherertz, his office received a call from a woman, requesting that officers come to the Foster’s Packing House. The caller told the dispatcher that the owner of the property had two men in custody, whom he had found in the process of removing a woodstove and other items from the building. However, before the deputies arrived on the scene, the suspects escaped from the owner and were at-large in the area. After a brief search, Dep. Anthony Berry located and arrested the pair. They were identified as Joseph S. Williams Jr., 20, of Triangle and James A. Long, 23, of Alvin, Texas. DWI reported A McLean man traveling through the county on the. afternoon of Oct. 27 was stopped on U. S. 211 west of Washington and charged with driving while intoxicated. George W. Wallace, 44, was observed while stopped by a county resident, who believed he was intoxicated. The resident notified the Sheriff’s Office, indicating the type of automobile Wallace was driving and his direction of travel. He was apprehended by Dep. Berry near the Trading Post, and charged with DWI. Cocaine arrest Deputies working radar on Rt. 522 near Woodville on the evening of Oct. 27 stopped a Broadway, Va. man for speeding, and consequently discovered that he was in possession of narcotics.

The Eleanor Cox watercolor show at Longview Gallery is a lively and exhilarating experience. Eleanor Cox’s chosen subject matter are gardens and landscapes that focus on beautiful scenery, old fences, hedgerows, and occasionally a building or two. She is obviously passionate about what she paints and enjoys her task. Her paintings resonate with her passion through her use of color. She is a confident watercolor painter and her paintings literally burst with color. She is very familiar with her palette - one made up of high chroma color generally on the warm side of the color spectrum. She utilizes many color complements, is able to push color around to create clean, crisp paintings that leave you optimistic and refreshed. She simplifies her subject matter into color masses, playing complements and value one against the other, and creates wonderful edges and textures. Her paintings are not overworked - this allows the color to sit on the surface of the paper, thus maintaining color brilliance. Cox’s plein air pieces offer a more grayed application of color. Traditionally, watercolor is a medium that requires an artist to have a firm idea what the finished painting will look like prior to laying in the first wash. It is obvious that Cox has planned her compositions and her application of color, yet she accomplishes the finished painting without spoiling the spontaneity and unexpected surprises that characterize the medium of watercolor. In her piece, Highland Day”, a painting of the highlands in Scotland, Cox has executed a beautiful painting which just glimpses the tops of two houses. Very strong directional diagonals lead the viewer into the middle ground of the composition. Yet, it is the repetition of verticals - the telephone poles and the chimneys that create intrigue in the piece. The far right pole is the anchor in the painting; it balances and unifies the entire piece. Overall, the painting speaks of a vast sweep of space characterized by vibrant color. Again, color complements push the eye across the paper, red plays off green, purple off yellow, and the effect is marvelous. If you’ve never been to an art show, this would be a great one to start with. If you’re a veteran of the arts, you won’t want to miss “Following the Light” at Longview Gallery. With its bold display of light and color, the Eleanor Cox watercolor exhibition is a visual treat! Forestry concerned about fall fire season The fall fire season is setting up to be a difficult one, and officials with the Virginia Department of Forestry want to emphasize that folks need to be extra careful with fire. Drought like conditions in most areas of the state have left ground water levels at historically low levels. The drought conditions, along with the falling leaves and the curing of frost killed vegetation throughout most regions of the Commonwealth, leads to easier fire starts, and more extreme fire behavior, which makes control efforts more difficult. According to Governor Jim Gilmore, “Conditions are now looking serious enough that we have to urge citizens to be extra careful while they are enjoying the outdoors, and to be extra careful with outdoor burning.” Gilmore adds that, “while no burning restrictions are now in place, that is certainly one option should conditions continue to worsen over the next few weeks.” The Virginia Department of Forestry reports that the agency has responded to 24 wildfires recently that have burned 433 acres.

Windy weekend for fall soccer Photo courtesy of Robin Lee WEBELOS LEADER: Doug Bywaters teaches Tiger Cubs how to tie knots at the Twilight Camp. New scouting year off to a great start By Libet Pierson Rappahannock News Writer Rappahannock Cub Scout Pack 123 almost doubled in size with a great turnout at the September School Night registration. A few days later these new scouts and their families joined the rest of the Pack at the Sperryville Fire Hall for an evening Twilight ! Camp. j , Groups of scouts rotated , through the stations which included making pine cone bird feeders, running (and crawling) through an obstacle course, learning knot tying skills and playing relay games. All this activity can make a boy work up quite an appetite. This was part of the plan and there were plenty of hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill to satisfy the scouts’ hunger. As darkness fell, the temperatures dropped too, a perfect excuse to light the campfire. Scouts and parents warmed themselves around the fire during a short ceremony to welcome the new members of the Pack. How to properly finish a Twilight Camp? With a couple of spooky campfire stories, courtesy of Webelos II Leader Doug By waters. The beautiful weather on Saturday, Oct. 20 was perfect for Pack 123’s October hike and Pack Meeting. More than 30 scouts, leaders and family members gathered at Rock Mills Farm for a one and a half mile hike. The group took a leisurely pace through the colorful fall woods, across open ridges and along a quiet sec tion of the Thornton River. The walk was punctuated by exclamations when a scout would spot a deer track in the dried mud or find a woolly bear caterpillar crossing the path. There were tree leaves to identify and wild grapes for the more adventurous to taste. After the hike, lemonade and donuts were served on the porch of the 200 year old farmhouse. Several achievement awards were presented to scouts who had completed their badge requirements, and the Pack members headed home pleasantly weary after a perfect fall afternoon. In the next few weeks, the Cub Scouts will be busy crafting their handmade bows and arrows in preparation for the November Turkey Shoot Pack Meeting. The “Turkey Shoot” will take place on Saturday, Nov. 17 at noon. This is one of the scouts’ favorite events; and the most skilled archer in each den will get the thrill of bringing home the Thanksgiving turkey. Pack 123 is currently conducting its annual popcorn fund raiser. If you have not ordered popcorn from a Cub Scout yet, there is still time to do so. Any boy who would like to join Cub Scouts, but missed the September registration, is welcome to contact one of the following Pack leaders: Cub Master Kirk Milam at 631-0949, Assistant Cub Master Opie Crawford at 987-8495, or Committee Chairman Libet Pierson at 937-5605. By Nanette Hogan Rappahannock News Writer The Rappahannock Youth Soccer League played its seventh weekend of games on Saturday, Oct. 27. The U-8 Orange Crush team played at Madison Wrangler and met their challenge. Not withstanding an effort by Anne Stout and Patrick Foley, the team remains a cohesive unit. Coach Letsen’s U-8er’s also played Madison on RCES field with Katie Hartman scoring and Andrew Oyster playing an all around great game. Way to go U-8s! The U-10 girls team, Rappahannock Rapids, played a make-up game on Thursday in Madison as well as their Saturday game. Unfortunately we lost both. The Madison game ended 4-2. It was a hard fought contest with a few unlucky bounces deciding the game. Brittani Dodson scored her first goal of the season on a beautiful drive. Morgan Flournoy kept the pressure up at forward all game. Morgan Palme had some nice touches and runs from midfield. The Saturday game at home against Culpeper ended in a 1-0 loss. Christine Pankow had some nice runs at forward in the first half and came close to scoring. But overall we played flat, not able to string together any passes or attacks. The U10 Rapp Rockets have tied for the third straight game with a final score of 3-3 against Madison, It was a very windy day with the ball not always going where we thought it would! Rapps team started out the day with a goal from right wing Jacob Racer, which was then answered by Madisons first goal. Brett Heddleston gave keeper Michael Caporuscio great defense as we were able to hold Madison to a lead through the first half. Bennet Eastham had two goals to his credit with the unmistakable help from Conner Settle in perfect timing passing. The footwork of Matt Fletcher cannot be understated as he took advantage of the other teams size and went in at their feet to snake the ball right from Madison. Fletcher showed incredible speed and adaptability as coach had to place him in defensive and offensive positions. The real test came when Logan Mckieman who had been gone for two games came in and played as if he was there the whole time. Looking where his open teammates were and passing off for incredible midfield play.

It should be a great morning of soccer! Coach Oz’s U-10 team won at home against Orange. The score was 3-0. Zack Way land, Huck Pace and Brian Shafran provided the scores. The team executed great passing even with the gusty wind and the defense continued to play strong allowing Orange to have few attempts at Rappahannock’s goal. The team has enjoyed playing together this year and this has allowed the team to have a great season! In a rematch with Orange from their third game of the season, the Blue Lightning li12 girls traveled south to Orange Booster Park. Maybe it was the effects of the cold weather, or the long season of road games taking it’s toll, but the Rapp girls struggled at both ends of the field. The only Blue Lightning goal came in the first half from Hannah Rosenbaum, with Ella Miller getting the assist. Megan Wheatley and Ella Miller shared goalie duties, but just as in the previous game the Orange girls were able to use their speed, size and strength advantage in a 5-1 defeat of the Blue Lightning. The U-12 Rapp girls have played much better soccer the second half of the season and have a very bright future ahead of them as this team matures over the next 18 months. This Saturday, the Blue Lightning travel to Culpeper for their final game of the sea son. Have fun girls! The U-12 Green Dragons played at RCHS against a team from Orange. With the assistance from all team players, Dean Hogan scored a goal early on, as did Joey Wenke after the half. However, the Orange team prevailed with a score of Orange 4 - Dragons 2. The U-14 RIOT met Coach Laub’s Madison team at home for another match between the two teams. Coaches Pendleton and Laub have met many times over the seasons and it always is almost to close to call. This time Madison was psyched to win and RIOT was not. RIOT members were unnerved with line up changes due to missing players, and despite Coaches Pendleton and Gillis’ encouragement, RIOT was not at their form. The first half had Madison taking shots at will at the net and kept RIOT defense scrambling. RIOT couldn’t pull themselves together to mount an offense. The second half was much better for the home team as the coaches got them back on track at half time. Despite the midfield efforts of Samantha Harlow And Paige Lysaght, RIOT was unable to get and keep Madison in check.

Tuesday, Nov. 6, is Election Day. If history is any indication, this non-presidential election will elicit a voter turnout at about 50 percent or below. That is a statistic which should give every citizen reason for concern. There is no more important right of citizenship than the right to vote. Our democracy was founded on the concept of “one man, one vote” — every vote counting equally, regardless of wealth, social position or any other factor. It means that, literally, the majority rules. But the system works only when everyone participates. Certainly, cynicism about the powerlessness of the individual has worked, in recent years, to disenchant people with the political process. But this is a self-fulfilling prophesy. The more people who believe they are powerless, and choose not to participate, the more rapidly the system fails. Only by faith in the system of citizen participation, in the power of the vote, can true representative government be reestablished. To put it another way, if you don’t participate, don’t complain. According to figures furnished by the Rappahannock County Registrar’s Office, 4,858 residents are registered to vote in Tuesday’s election. It is the personal responsibility of each of those 4,858 citizens to get out and cast a vote. By doing so, each voter helps mold the government he or she wants in place. And this year, the government that assumes power of the Old Dominion as a result of Tuesday’s balloting will indeed be a powerful one. This year, Virginians are asked to: — elect a governor, — elect a lieutenant governor, — elect an attorney general. In addition, we in the 15th district are asked to cast a vote to fill a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates. These are decisions not to be taken lightly. Voting is not only a privilege, but a serious responsibility. Exercise your right to vote on Tuesday. Rappahannock Today ” Rappahannock News Photo/Barbara C. Wayland Allen Louderback of Luray, the Republican candidate for the 15th District of which Rappahannock is now a part, was in the county last Wednesday on a campaign tour. He met with several constituents while here. Pictured above, Delegate Louderback with Kelly Settle, left, and Jackie Settle, right. Letters Republicans for conservative leadership The incessant, inaccurate written attacks by the ultra liberal supporters of the Democratic candidate for Governor against Mark Earley have prompted me to reply. It is a fact that the Democratic candidate proposed a gigantic tax increase in his stated written plan for Virginia. When the Republican candidate, Mark Earley, justifiably brought the proposed tax increase plan to the attention of the voting public, he was assailed verbally by the Democrats and accused of lying. According to the Democrats, the race is a single issue contest. What a bunch of bovine excrement! Who is the more qualified candidate in terms of experience and ability? Let’s look at the candidate’s records. Mark Earley served with distinction as a Virginia Senator for ten years, Mark Earley was elected Virginia’s Attorney General where he performed the duties of that office admirably. His accomplishments as a dedicated elected official are a matter of record. Mark Earley’s honesty and ability to govern are above reproach. What about Warner? Never elected to any office, defeated soundly when he tried to unseat Senator John Warner, has no voting record on which to gage performance or accomplishments and is nothing more than a rich liberal seeking to buy his way into the Governor’s mansion! Warner is “out there” alone, at odds with his running mates for Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General. They don’t appear to be cohesive at all and have nothing in common except that they are all liberal Democrats. On the other hand the Republican candidates, Earley for Governor, Katzen for Lieutenant Governor, and Kilgore for Attorney General are longtime friends who have worked together for the citizens of Virginia as elected officials with integrity and honesty. They like and respect each other. They are more than qualified to serve in the offices they seek. Don’t be mislead by the smoke screen of the misguided liberals. Vote for true conservative leadership on Nov. 6. Vote for Earley, Katzen and Kilgore. Ellen Steele Front Royal A clear choice There are two candidates running for Delegate of the 15th District. Over the past several years, I have had the opportunity to meet both the candidates and get to know them. After meeting and researching the qualifications of both, Allen Louderback is the clear choice. He is a proven leader, well respected in both his home community, and in the General Assembly. Without question Delegate Louderback would effectively represent the interests of Rappahannock County in the General Assembly. James W. Fletcher III Sperryville More Letters Page A7 Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO Oct. 26, 1961 Rappahannock Angus Breeder’s Calf Sale held Tuesday of this week at Front Royal Livestock Market was reported by C.T. Barnes of the Division of Markets as the best in Virginia to date. A total of 1357 head consigned by 41 producers brought $171,504.13. C.E. “Ned” Johnson Jr., beef cattleman and orchardist from Sperryville has been selected as Conservationist of the Year in Rappahannock County by the Culpeper Soil Conservation District Board of Supervisors. General Daniel Noce of Laurel Hill, who is vice chairman of the district, presented the award to Mr. Johnson. General Noce also was speaker of the evening and basec) his talk on his experiences as an engineer in the U.S. Army where he worked with such projects as the Tennessee Valley. At a mission study class held last Tuesday at Washington Baptist Church articles made in foreign lands were displayed as well as flags of other nations. To carry out the theme refreshments were served in Austrian and English china. A placard summing up the lesson in one word was embroidered with “Togetherness.” An attractive five room bungalow on large lot with garden in a good section of Sperryville was advertised for only $5,000 by W.A. Miller of Washington. 20 YEARS AGO Oct. 29, 1981 Mr. and Mrs. Ray T. Cannon of Castleton were named Outstanding Conservationists of the Year in Rappahannock County by the Culpeper Soil and Water District of which Rappahannock is a part. The Cannons own a 500-acre farm, El Rancho Grande, with 200 open acres devoted to grassland farming for 20 years. In addition Mr. Cannon rents an additional 250 acres of pasture land. Former Webelos who advanced to Boy Scouts in a ceremony Friday included Greg Daczewitz, David Fisher, Wesley Jenkins, Fred Ausberry, Adam Clatterbuck, Michael Payne and Matthew Owings. The Scoutmaster is James Shaw and assistant junior scout leader is Mike White. Finally there is a fire escape on the Rappahannock courthouse. Charlie and Donald Mills of Sperryville contracted to erect the metal fire escape and work was completed last week. Mrs. Elva Compton of Amissville was featured in a photo with her sweet potatoes. One weighed two and one-half pounds and the other two tipped the scales at three pounds each. 10 YEARS AGO Oct. 31, 1991 The Rappahannock Board of Assessors has already heard 260 appeals from county property owners, and expects appeals to continue until Nov. 6, according to Col. E.P. Luke, chairman. There are more people lodging appeals than there were following the 1988 assessment, said Col. Luke. On Oct. 28 seven little goblins from Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly visited Lee’s Orchard. They came in search of pumpkins for Halloween. To their surprise and delight, Mr. Lee treated them to pumpkins of their choice and also a bag full of delicious apples. The kindergarten students and first graders plan to carve their pumpkins for the upcoming holiday and to roast the seeds and even make a pumpkin pie from scratch. Culminating months of planning and fund raising, the project to build a new, multitiered playground structure will come to fruition this weekend at the Rappahannock Park in Washington. r Donors included the Rappahannock Women’s Club (a major sponsor), the Rappahannock Farmers’ Coop, The Mothering Cooperative and Madison Wood Preservers. A benefit concert by Peter Kater also raised money for the project. About $3,000 has been raised so far. COMPILED BY BARBARA C.

MORE LETTERS Democratic ticket will strengthen local government In the final days of the campaign for Governor, the candidates are making their final arguments and a lot of phony claims are being made. Without a doubt, the most bogus assertion is Mark Earley’s charge that Mark Warner intents to force a tax increase upon the citizens of the Commonwealth. Mark Warner has made it clear that he favors giving local governments the right to decide for themselves if they want to raise their owpi sales taxes for the purpose of funding transportation projects. All this means is that the individual localities will now have the power to determine for themselves if they want to pay more in taxes for better roads without having to go on their knees before a bunch of politicians in Richmond to get the money. The Democratic ticket is advocating nothing more than strengthening local govern ment and empowering voters. This is something the founding father of modem Republican conservatism, Barry Goldwater, spent his career espousing, but apparently Mr. Earley has abandoned this philosophy. It seems that if the late Senator Goldwater were living in Virginia today, he'd be a Democrat. In truth, the Republican’s position on taxes is based on equal parts cynicism, wishful thinking, and expediency. They have thrown away long held principles and adopted a strategy of winning at all costs, even if victory means denying the voters one of their basic rights of self gov emment. Put an end to this nonsense on Nov. 6 by electing the ticket of Wamer-KaineMcEachin. Fred Schaefer Sperryville & Pollack has own agenda Brad Pollack has visited Rappahannock County several times over the last two months. He always picks a County event where he can quickly shake a lot of hands and not answer very many questions. He is running a very negative campaign whereby he continuous attacks his opponent over a decision on the . Page County landfill, but we hear nothing about Mr. Pollack plans or past. I have known Mr. Pollack for over 25 years. His brother was in my graduating class, and I did work for his father. Pollack has tried to advance his political, and legal career by unfounded attacks on his opponents. His attacks, which have been printed in the Shenandoah Herald, and The Free Press are always ugly. There is a local farmer who purchased a farm which he had been renting for years from two brothers. Mr. Pollard decided that these brothers were men tally incompetent and the farm was worth over $2 million, not the $80,000-$100,000 paid. This started a five year legal battle. The farmer had to sell his farm truck to pay his legal fees, but he stood up to Pollack because no wrong was done. Pollack was not so much interested in this case, but the chance to blacken the name of the Shenandoah County Commonwealth Attorney who had helped the farmer with legal work on the farm. It seems Pollack wanted the Commonwealth Attorney’s job and he felt the best way to get the job was to damage the name of both the Commonwealth Attorney and his assistant. The Commonwealth Attorney became a judge, and his assistant won over Pollack. Also, this Commonwealth Attorney represented the County in a suit against Mr. Pollack and his family over the collection of a large amount of unpaid real estates on a deflunked ski resort in Shenandoah County. The suit against the fanner is facing closure. The presiding judge has ruled against Pollack, and he now faces possible sanctions of paying all of his opponents legal cost. Now at this point he jumps into the political arena. No political party will touch him. The democrats would rather have no candidate than have Pollack. Mr. Pollack is a dangerous candidate. He has his own agenda, and it is not for the people of this area. Anyone who is seriously considering voting for this person needs to go to Woodstock and read the above mentioned newspapers for the last several years. A vote for Pollack is a vote against any representation for our area in Richmond. Alvin Henry Washington Setting the record straight Hollerin from the Mountain #2 In all of these eight years, Brad Pollack has manipulated the truth. This case has been lopsided. I’m setting the record straight because I’ve had enough of Brad Pollack trying to run two campaigns on this case. First, Brad Pollack has never won one motion in all these years. He says he is representing the Lloyd broth ers. That is a lie. He has never represented me. He has only represented my brother. I’ve been found competent two different times. Brad Pollack has even signed the order that declares me competent. The newspapers reported that Brad Pollack took funds that weren’t his from an incompetent woman in Front Royal. Most people would call that theft. I’m setting the record straight. When somebody lies, most people call it lying. When somebody steals, most people call it theft. Brad Pollack has manipulated the truth for eight years. Thomas M. Lloyd Jr. Quicksburg Republican Party represents the basic ideals of our Founders Within the week, we will have the opportunity, and the obligation as citizens, to vote for a Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, and Delegate. Due in part to the terrible events of Sept. 11, most of us haven’t given much thought to this election. We should pay serious attention. As we struggle to defend our freedoms and ideals from attack by fanatics, we must pay attention to what is at stake here, at home, in these elections. I do not think there can be any doubt, though some good people will disagree, about which party, today, best represents the basic ideals of our Founders, ideals that brought us where we are today. It is the Republican Party! Which party believes in, works for: smaller, less intrusive governments? Republican! Low taxes, minimum regulations? Republican! Citizens responsible for their actions, whether individuals, businesses, public servants of all types? Republicans! This is not to say that . Republicans are always bet ter, Democrats always worse. We are all about the same, as individuals. No one political group has all the wisdom, all the good ideas. There is a difference, a key one, and it lies in each party’s principles of government. Present day Democrats seem to believe that governments are the answer to all our local, state and national problems; they seek constantly to enlarge governments’ roles. Always in the name of fairness, equality, necessity. What’s wrong with that? Governments, even in their essential duties, are not producers. In performing those and not so necessary functions, they consume much, redistribute a little, hold back the drive, initiative and productivity of individuals and businesses by excessive taxes and regulations. They take much, currently about 40-45 percent of the wealth Americans produce, and they hinder the accumulation of capital vital for the growth of the economy and a better life for all. Sure, we need some government. Just not too much! Not a constantly increasing burden of government. Not governments increasingly pushing us toward socialism, bit by bit - remember the Clintons’ “nationalized health care” plan? Socialism has a very long history. As long as civilization has existed, socialism has sounded its siren call. There’s only one problem: no matter how noble and wonderful it . sounds, it fails - always and without exception - the ultimate test: it does not work! Most of us have heard the following, though it bears occasional repeating: “Anyone under 25 who is not a socialist has no heart. Anyone over 30 who is a socialist has no head.” Rappahannock citizens are not stupid. We won’t let ourselves be swayed from the best principles of government, developed largely by Virginians long ago, by energetic, attractive, costly advertisements. We’ll be informed voters. We’ll elect Mark Earley, Jay Katzen, Jerry Kilgore and Allen Louderback on Nov. 6! John L. Marocchi Sperryville More on school salary issue The third question I addressed to the Board was, What happened to the previous salary scale for the assistant superintendent? Why was the change made. The Superintendent’s answer was as follows: “The school board chose to eliminate the salary scale for the assistant superintendent. The Board felt that the position should not have a specific scale, but should be a negotiated position.” According to the school systems policy GCBA: The school board shall annually establish and approve salaries for all school employees. The salary schedule shall be based upon a reasonable . base salary, should take into consideration years of experi- ence, degree of educational ; training, level of certification - and such criteria as the ' board may deem appropriate. In researching the past minutes ot tne Boara, i was unable to find any actions that would have deleted the assistant superintendent’s position from the above policy. What I did find was that ‘ On Oct. 24, 2000 the board "voted to suspend usage of the ^administrative salary schedule. This temporary action ^made sense at the time “because the Board had decid»ed to replace retiring Assistant Superintendent 3!ary Anne Biggs with two •Interim Assistant ^Superintendents and there .. would not be sufficient fund, ing to pay both at the pre' scribed rate. The Board did 5 not publicly discuss what those salaries -would be. It appears that the Board never took any action to eliminate the scale and the present assistant superintendent should be paid from that scale for his appropriate years of experience. That is not the case. The present Assistant Superintendent should be paid $80,293.90 using last years scale increased by 3.2 percent. His actual salary is $73,550.61. If the Board feels the salary scale is too high for the position they should take steps to lower it. Policy GCBA appears to require the use of salary scales. Question four was “Why was there an inequity in the budget for the salaries of the Interim Assistant Superintendent and the Special Education Coordinator? The combined salaries are approximately $11,000 less that the budgeted amount. The Superintendent’s answer was a mathematical illustration as follows: (Retiring) Assistant Superintendent $16,359.39 (three months); (New Position) Special Education Coordinator $56,553.78; Projected retiree payment for General and Annual Leave $10,906.77 • • Based on 100 days General Leave at $15/day equals $1,500 Projected 34.5 days Annual Leave at $272.66/day equals $9,406.77 The projected retiree payment interested me for two reasons. There is nothing in the school systems policy that allows for terminal payment unused General Leave. Policy GCBH does authorize payment for unused sick leave for those employees that have at least 20 years of service in Rappahannock County. This may be what the Superintendent was referring to. Secondly, I did See MAKELA, Page A8 Having been chastised by Ben Jones for failing to refute his commentary on “separation of church and state,” I offer the following. Please remember that the term “separation of church and state” is not in the Constitution. The Court created the doctrine based on what it claimed uns the intent of the First Ammdment as expressed by Thomas Jefferson. First, some popular myths need to be put to rest. The fact is that Mr. Jefferson did not write or even sign the Constitution; nor was he present at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. He was not present When the First Amendment and religious freedom were debated in the first session of Congress in 1789. He was in France, serving as a U.S. Minister. Since he was not a part of the debates and did not hear all the comments of the participants in the debates, his comments on the First Amendment are “second-hand” information and not a primary source for. understanding the intent of those who did debate, draft, and sign the documents. Furthermore, his pronouncements regarding the “separation of church and state” were made in the context of a political campaign (for the presidency) in which he had been accused of being an “infidel” by certain religious leaders who questioned whether a person who did not attend church on a regular basis was qualified to be President. Candidate Jefferson addressed the Baptists to reassure them that he would not interfere with their religious beliefs. He was running for President — not writing an exposition on the proper interpretation of the First Amendment. As a candidate, he understood that he could best reach the Baptists by quoting one of their own. So he quoted the prominent Baptist preacher Roger Williams, who had written earlier of the “wall of separation between the garden of the church and the wilderness of the world” and that the church “must of necessity be walled in peculiarly unto Himself from the world” — the church must be protected from outside influences, including the state. Jefferson was reassuring the Baptists that he, as President, would not attempt ; to assert influence over the church. He did not intend to ! state that the church should 4 have no influence in the affairs of state; that would 4 have been political folly for 4 someone trying to get the i support of churchgoers. It is clear from the above that Jefferson’s comments on “separation of church and state” were never meant to be a clarification of what the founding fathers intended when they authored the First Amendment and never should have been used by the Supreme Court in that fash- , ion. His comments certainly ; did not mean that the church should have no influence on 1 matters of government. \ In my next commentary, I ; will present proof that Thomas Jefferson did not espouse the doctrine of “separation of church and state” as i it is advocated today. ; Specifically, I will demonstrate that Jefferson’s actions ! as a public figure were in conflict with that doctrine as currently understood. Jim Oyster Castleton Citizens need to be better informed concerning proposed towers “Do we realize that industry, which has been our good servant, might make a poor master?” Aldo Leopold On Nov. 5, 2001 the Board of Supervisors will hold a public meeting on the Sprint application for proposed cell towers/silos in Rappahannock County. The citizens of Rappahannock County need to be better informed about this application and it is my belief that all possibilities need to be explored. If I upset some people at the last Planning Commission hearing on the Sprint application with my “emotional” appeal, I apologize. However, I am not sorry for what I said but how I said it. I have a sincere love for Rappahannock County and the scenic views we are all fortunate enough to enjoy. I want to contribute whatever I can to guarantee that each and every citizen, from now on, will have the opportunity to experience our “little slice of heaven” just as we have. I believe the issues before the County are as follows: 1. The cell tower system proposed does not serve the county Fire and Rescue teams. Each system is totally different and the cell system is not entirely what the county emergency teams need. Even if you take into account that cell phones are a big help to every citizen when needed to call for emergency services, the total county coverage under the proposed Sprint Plan is concentrated along Route 211 & 522 and would be about 40 percent without any service for the Sperryville/Woodville area. 2. The alternative sites as proposed by Mr. Zindel and me at the last Planning Commission meeting would give much broader coverage but also give the county an additional added benefit for the fire and rescue association. The property owners of the alternate sites are willing to donate one-half (1/2) of the rental income directly to the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association. If the Board of Supervisors would select the landfill site in Amissville as one of the sites, the Sprint rent money could go to the association as well. That total contribution to the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association could amount to at least $30,000 per year - a nice down payment for a E911 system that helps all of the citizens of Rappahannock County and not just five property owners. 3. Members of the Planning Commission had requested from Sprint scale drawings for the proposed 20’ by 100’ concrete silos. Sprint never provided them. We asked about the possibility of artificial trees serving as antennas and we were given very little information. Sprint has their mind made up about what they want for the County at the expense of the citizens. The County should tell Sprint what it will accept to best serve the citizens. 4. It has been said that these concrete silos would provide storage for com silage or shelled com. If you ask any dairy farmer in Virginia they will tell you that trench silos are more efficient and the only sensible way to go. The statement that these silos are for “farm use” is a phony issue. Even the farmers who want these silos are currently using trench silos for silage storage. In addition, the “silos” do not provide for colocation for other cell phone service carriers (i.e., Verizon, Cingular, Spectrum, Shenandoah Cellular, etc). In the future we would be sure to see more applications from other companies for cell towers in the county. Imagine this same rat race times four! Not only could Sprint sell “colocation rights” to any of these carriers in the future, the concrete silos would have to add ten foot in height for each additional carrier. The county would receive nothing for this obstruction to the viewshed. I am not against cell towers and my affirmative vote for three (3) monopole sites hidden in the woods attested to that fact. The county’s i Comprehensive Plan speaks of Rappahannock as a scenic t county and the desire to ensure that designation. This Sprint plan is deficient in coverage for the county as well as following the guidelines of the Comprehensive Plan. Please take these factors into ( consideration and voice your opinion to your Supervisor | either prior to or at the Nov. 5 I meeting. Rappahannock is no i ordinary county. Let’s keep it t that way! • 4 Werner Krebser Huntly More Letters Page AS

More Letters Make la From Page A7 the math on the annual leave payment and got different results as follows: The annual salary based on three months salary at $16,359.39 would equal $65,437.56. My calculations for number of days worked in a 12 month contract would be 52 weeks times a five day work week equals 260 days worked. This would include paid holidays and vacations. Dividing 260 days into $65,437.56 would five a per day salary of 251.69. Per policy GCBDE the maximum days that could be paid is 34. • The school system prefers to use 240 days in a 12 month contract, which leaves 20 days unaccounted for and also increased the terminal payment by $849.31. • Multiplying $251.69 by 34 equals $8,557.46 to be paid for unused annual leave. Going back to the salary scales, they are important for two reasons. First it enables the taxpayers to easily determine public employee’s salaries and secondly it allows prospective employees to determine what kind of salary they can expect. Negotiated salaries in the public sector can lead to cronyism and violations of the equal pay for equal work concept. Finally, for this week, a short response to Mr. Warner’s letter in the Oct. 17, Rappahannock News. First I’m sorry if I offended you by using the term African-American. I personally am quite proud of my Finnish-British-American ancestry. The past Board (in a humorous light) felt it explained my thinking on some issues. On the election issue, I’m going to need your help. I’ve checked my copies' of the Constitution (both state and federal) and I’ll be darned if I can find the part that says if you seek election to public office and lose that you forfeit all future rights to participate in the process. If you can provide this information I will cease and desist. In regards to the alleged verbal assaults upon you, I believe you may be referring to several conversations we had in which I presented information that you did not agree with. As a public official you sometimes have to listen, even if you don’t agree Ron Makela Amissville Return Louderback I know Allen Louderback. Allen and I have been the best of friends since the eighth grade. We roomed together during college and have been business partners for 15 years. I know that Allen Louderback works at being a good Delegate 12 months a year. I know being a Delegate is not a two month job, as his opponent claims. All year around there are people who need help, problems to be solved, commission and committee meetings to attend. Allen is a good delegate because he gets satisfaction from helping people and works from a set of conservative principles: families know better than government how their money should be spent; government should be as efficient as humanly possible; taxes should be as fair and low as possible; the U.S. Constitution tells us we can own and use guns. I know Allen Louderback will continue to answer your phone calls, listen to you and do what he can to help you with problems within the Commonwealth government.

In any Towers From Page A1 Indeed, almost every court decision interpreting the Act has upheld the land use regulations that local governments - including several Virginia counties - have imposed in order to protect themselves from cellular facilities that do not fit their needs. All that the Federal Telecommunications Act really requires of Rappahannock County is that we not prohibit cellular service - we already have spotty, unsatisfactory service - and that we not discriminate in favor of one company against another (so maybe we should think twice about a 199foot tower for Sprint). Presented here is a “concept map” of how service from Sprint’s currently-proposed seven cellular facilities compares with a computer-generated depiction of service coverage from facilities located atop two high hills - Hickerson and Turkey Mountains - and a somewhat lower hill across from the Library.

Actually, landowners have offered six such sites (as well as donation of cell lease revenues for County purposes), but only three of these sites are necessary to improve markedly upon the coverage Sprint would provide. In general, roads and electricity are already available at or near these sites. “Appropriate circumstances” include amount of site disruption, facility design and visibility, and tax aspects. This is not a “plan.” A plan would be based on specific sites. A plan might use different available hilltops, and would desirably cover the whole County (but still only three or four hilltops countywide would probably suffice). The concept map and accompanying depiction of the coverage being proposed by Sprint are based on the “Longley-Rice Model,” with adjustments for the effects of vegetation and buildings. This implementation of Longley-Rice is as prescribed by the Federal Communications Commission in a recent rulemaking proceeding. As would be expected, coverage projections generated by this improved model do not necessarily agree fully with the dense-urban “Okumura (Japan) Hata Model” utilized by Sprint - which is why the graphic shows better coverage by the Sprint seven-facility system than does Sprint’s own map. An additional benefit of the concept presented here is that the same hilltops could support modem fire and rescue communications at all potential frequencies. (Indeed, one could suggest that the County government buy or lease hilltops for emergency services, and rent “co-location” sites to the cellular industry.)

Co-location on hilltops can be accomplished horizontally with short antennas (maybe well one day again speak correctly of “telephone poles”) hidden in trees or against the landscape; how visible to most of us are electric poles serving houses on Rappahannock’s hills? Finally, whatever model it prefers, we believe that our County government - before there is any final vote - should tell the citizenry how cell facilities will be taxed, and how new tax revenues will be used. We do not know what Sprint has committed to its proposed host landowners, but various lettersto-the-editor and other public comments indicate a lease range of $10,000 to $12,000 annually for each proposed new industrial site. If one capitalizes a $10,000 annual rent as reflecting 10 percent return on investment, the site has a value of $100,000; if a 5 percent return seems more reasonable, the site value is $200,000. At the current combined real estate/fire tax rate of $0.89 per $100, a $200,000 site will generate $1780 in landowner taxes to the County each year. Taxes on Sprint’s structures and technology should at least double that, meaning revenues of around $25,000 annually from the seven sites. Where will it be spent? What will be done with the one-time “land-use” rollbacks generated by the land use change? If some landowners do in fact pass their cellular lease revenues on to the County, how will they be treated taxwise? Some of Rappahannock’s recent public dialog has degenerated into talk about “beenheres” and “come-heres.” The cellular discussion should all be about “are-heres,” and it is for us “are-heres” that the County government should assure adequate cellular service, modem emergency communications, and equitable distribution of taxes. S. Kenny receives Artist Fellowship The Virginia Commission for the Arts met recently and approved fellowships to visual artists of painting and works on paper. Rappahannock artist Steven Kenny and eight other artists from across the state received awards of up to $5,000 based upon the consistent quality of their work. Mr. Kenny was one of five recipients of painting fellowships out of 102 applicants. The purpose of the Individual Artist Fellowship program is to encourage significant development in the work of individual artists and in the medium in which they work, to support the realization of specific artistic ideas, and to recognize the central contribution professional artists make to the creative environment of our state. The Commission makes available a limited number of fellowships to professional artists to support activities that will advance the art form or the careers of these artists. Funding in this category is highly competitive. Specific arts disciplines are eligible for support each year on a rotating basis. The Virginia Commission for the Arts is the state agency that supports the arts through funding from Virginia General Assembly and the National Endowment foj; the Arts.

Bats: beyond myths and folklore I Backyard Happenings Jim Bywaters Many things people think they know about bats are not true. Bats are not blind, they are not rodents, and they will not attack you or get tangled in your hair. The truth is, bats are among the most gentle, beneficial and necessary animals on earth. Bats often make people think of vampires, creatures of the night, and Halloween. Beyond the myths and folklore, bats are an important group of animals. Bats are one of the most numerous kinds of mammals with nearly a thousand different species. They are highly adapted animals, and can be found in all but the coldest habitats. Most Virginia Piedmont residents have seen a bat darting through the air at dusk on a summer evening. There are about a dozen different bats that make our area their home. Bats are mammals that belong to the order Chiroptera (ky-roptera), which means, “winged hand”. A bat’s wing is very close in structure to a human hand. They have four fingers and a thumb. Their arm is made up of a forearm, an elbow, and an upper arm. The fingers are very long and support a thin leathery skin that makes their wings. A bat can change his wing shape as easily and as quickly as you can move the fingers on your hand. Bats are the only mammals that Pollack By Robert H. Ballard pecial to the Rappahannock Newa “When I am in my paintir, not aware of what d$ng.

Like all mammals, they are “warm-blooded”, have bodies covered with fur, and nurse their young with milk. Bats have one baby or pup a year, they are very small and defenseless when they are born. They are usually born in large colonies with thousands of baby’s squeezed together, hanging from the ceiling of a cave or in hollow trees. This keeps them warm and safe. A mother must use smell and recognize the cry in order to locate their own pup in the crowd. It is several months before a baby is able to fly and hunt alone. Until then it relies on mother’s milk for food. There are two main groups of bats, the large “flying foxes” that eat fruit, and the smaller insecteating bats. Nearly all bats are helpful animals, responsible for controlling pest insect populations, pollinating flowers, and dispersing seeds. Seventy percent of the bat species are insect eating bats or insectivores. Many of these bats can eat 600 — 1200 bugs an hour. Besides mosquitoes, bats also eat crop-destroying pests like moths, locusts, grasshoppers, etc. Bats living near your home could keep you free of insect bites and other troubles caused by flying insects. This is why bat houses are becoming popular. Bats have excellent night vision. Fruit Bats use their eyesight and sense of smell to find fruits and flowers. Bats that hunt insects, fish, or frogs can also “see” with sound. This is called echolocation. Though a bats eye site is pretty good, many have this added skill. A bat will let out high-pitched pulsing sounds from its mouth or nose. The sound bounces off of obstacles and food and echoes back to the bat giving them information about the size, shape, identity and direction of flight of the object. As a bat zeros in on the prey, the echo pulses increase and the hunt is refined. Using echolocation, a bat can locate food as thin as a human hair. Bats that use echolocation usually have large ears and leaf-shaped flaps of skin on their noses. This helps them direct the high frequency sounds they make. The night flying insect population greatly decreases in the winter. Because of this, many bats either migrate or hibernate. Bats that migrate will fly to warm climates where the insect population is still large. Migration requires a good fat storage. Like the bear and skunk, some bats hibernate during the cold winter months. They must store up on fat supplies to make it through the winter as they drop their body temperature and slow down their heart and metabolism. * Bats are mostly at risk because people do not understand their value. Humans and bats can coexist peacefully. Consider adding batspecific housing in your backyards this spring so that we can continue to benefit from their insect-eating capabilities. Happy Halloween!

Harris paints vivid portrait of complicated artist in “Pollack” By Joanne Hilty Rappahannock News "Writer An Oscar nominee for Best Actor and winner for Best Supporting Actress, this impressive directorial debut by Ed Harris concentrates on performance as the key to a convincing interpretation of one of America’s most important and elusive artists. “Pollock,” starring Ed Harris and Marcia Gay Harden, shows at The Theatre on Gay Street, Washington on Friday, Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. Jackson Pollock, one of the key figures in Abstract Expressionism and America’s first postwar art star, was a man destined to be consumed by his own internal fires. As insecure as he was gifted, a full-blown alcoholic prone to frightening rages, he was often on the edge of agony, a prisoner of demons he could no more identify than control. He was a self-destructive innovator in the vein of such postwar icons as Jack Kerouac and James Dean. Although the 1940s New York art scene is evocatively sketched, the film concentrates on the two redeeming factors of Pollock’s otherwise damned existence: his painting and his marriage to the supportive but self-assertive Lee Krasner. Harris’ Pollock is a complicated man, wary, restless and almost bursting with so much physicality and controlled energy he’s as happy breaking a door down as unlocking it. He has a way of looking out at the world that is haunted more often than not. That look confronts us in the film’s opening sequence, set in 1950 at a packed Manhattan gallery opening at the height of Pollock’s fame, after Life magazine had anointed him America’s premier artist and every canvas sold as soon as he touched it. “Pollock” then flashes back nine years, to the artist as a mentally unstable alcoholic living in Greenwich Village with his brother and his brother’s disapproving wife. Everything changes for him when a knock on his door reveals fellow painter Krasner (Harden in easily the strongest performance of her career), introducing herself, as she puts it, to the only Abstract Expressionist in New York she hasn’t met. Raised in Brooklyn, from a Russian Jewish background, Krasner is in many ways Pollock’s opposite: she’s verbal and self-assured and faces the world with confidence. Both parties immediately sense the possibility of a relationship. Once they are together, Krasner becomes Pollock’s tireless advocate and propagandist. She encourages him in his work and does the best she can with his alcoholic binges. Harris is nothing short of brilliant as Pollock, nailing the painter’s sinewy physicality and tortured psyche. Harden is equally excellent as Krasner, movingly depicting a woman who eventually tires of playing the dual roles of mother and lover. Rated R, the film runs 123 minutes. Storytellers Left to right, Barbara Adolfi, Joyce Abell and Sallie Morgan will present “No Ordinary Person," Ki Theatre’s highly popular evening of autobiographical storytelling, on Friday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. Barbara Adolfi will make her first appearance in “No Ordinary Person," with her story of growing up in a strict Italian Catholic family.

It’s a safe bet that most of them come from the supermarket. We carve jack o’lanterns, bake pies, and eat roasted pumpkin seeds, but few gardeners plant them anymore. Growing pumpkins is very much the same as growing squash or cucumbers, they’re all in the same family. The seed is planted as soon as the ground is warm enough. After they sprout, you thin the plants to the most healthy two or three plants. Pumpkins need a long growing season from 75 to 100 frost free days. There are many different kind of pumpkin seeds to choose from. The jack o’lantern pumpkin is a standard field pumpkin and is usually planted between rows of corn. It is excellent for Halloween carving and cook ing. it is a reddish-orange with rich orange to yellow flesh and is a slightly oval pumpkin which weighs ten to 15 pounds. The perfect Halloween pumpkin is the gold hybrid. It is easy to handle and weighs about ten pounds. It is round in shape and great for carving. The Baby Bear pumpkin is the right size for kids. It is a six inch pumpkin with a smooth orange skin. It is also disease resistant, and makes a beautiful fall decoration with gourds, ornamental corn, and sunflowers. The Atlantic Giant Pumpkin wins many pumpkin contest. It grows the biggest pumpkins weighing over 100 pounds. To grow such a big pumpkin you fertilize regularly every ten days with a low nitrogen plant food. When the fruit is fermed, you pick off all subsequent blossoms. At the end of the season, as harvest time approaches, you harvest them before frost. When the rind cannot be dented by your thumbnail they are ready. Store in a cool dry place. Pumpkins are believed to have originated in Central America. Centuries before the colonist arrived in this country, the Indians had made Photo courtesy of Salty Keyser PUMPKINS: Perfect for carving, eating, decorating, and the list goes on at this time of the year. them part of their diet. There is some dispute as to whether pumpkins appeared at the first Thanksgiving meal of the Pilgrims and Indians. They were adopted by the settlers and the seeds were taken back to Europe. The first pumpkin pies were made by hollowing out a shell and filling with milk, honey and spices and then baking it. Pumpkins appeal to everyone and are a part of American history. They can be found in doughnuts, ice cream, cheesecake as well as pumpkin pies and soups. Pumpkin carving was introduced by Irish immigrants who had a tradition of sculpting turnips into lanterns to ward off evil spirits on the eve of the Celtic New Year, . the original Halloween. Visitors can pick from a great array of different varieties of pumpkins and they are enjoyed in many different ways. Pumpkin Pie 1/2 cup self rising flour 3 eggs 1 cup sugar 1/2 stick melted margarine 2 cups pumpkin 1 1/2 cups milk 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice Bake in nine inch pie pan at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Roasted Pumpkin Seeds 2 cups pumpkin seeds 2 tablespoon melted butter or oil 1 teaspoon salt Wash the seeds well, stir with oil in bowl. Spread out to single layer on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt on top if desired. Bake at 250 degrees until slightly brown. I recently received this via e-mail. Pumpkins/Christians Being a Christian is somewhat like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off you may have gotten from the other pumpkins. Then he cuts the top off and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then, He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see. Don’t forget to exercise your right to vote on Nov. 6. Our prayers continue for all those who are sick and we wish them a speedy recovery.

What will you do with the treasure that is today?* Truly, it is thought-provoking when we consider the energy we spend regretting the past and worrying about the future. We often hear stories ol those who were frantic because they missed their plane, only to find that maintenance problems had delayed its departure. How about that job you didn't get, only to find a better one? We must learn from the past and plan and trust God for the future, but the time that its today will never return. Didn't the Creator make the world around us just lor our enjoyment? Yet, if we ate to enjoy the moment, we must possess the peace of mind that only faith in God can provide, Proverbs 12:25 warns us...*An anxious heart weighs a nun down.* Enjoy each moment in God’s house this Sabbath day as you experience the serenity of His sanctuary.

Community saddened by Mr. Hackley’s death The Amissville Community was saddened last Monday afternoon, by the death of Mr. Graham Haeklev. The accident devastated our little village. Mr. Hackley was the kindest, nicest, gentlest'man I have ever met in my entire 37 years. I had known him for only 20 years, unlike the many people in this community wrho had the pleasure of knowing him for a much longer period. I will miss seeing him every morning coming in the store for his papers and orange juice. His daily jaunts in the Back door and to the front porch to see Jim Phillips, Lu Stringfellow, Acrey Dodson, Gilbert Lawrence, Walter Spicer, Adolph Estes, Jack Atkins, Farrell Nicholas, and his nephew, Brad will all be missed. His trips to Front-Royal with, Ernest Lawson to take the cows to market, and to buy some new ones will forever remain in our minds. We enjoyed watching him feed his animals; seeing him at the post office; his funny little laugh but most of all I will miss his presence, being with him made you feel a little at ease with life. Mr. Hackley was the essence of Amissville, he was all that Amissville was and still tries to be. He was oldfashioned, old school and loveable. He was a quiet man, but full of life. We will all miss him and our deepest heartfelt sympathy is extended to his wife Dorothy; son, Larry; daugh; ter, Janet and grandchild, 1 Josh. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all and with our community.

By mourning, we get to a place where we have a sense of the lost person and the lost relationship, and we can begin to retain the positive and loving aspects of it. We start reaching out a little more, in social contracts and caring about the other people. As with other major life transitions, facing death of a loved one provides us with the opportunity to come out stronger if we embrace the process. The grieving process naturally stimulates the development of emotional coping skills and a new awareness of life’s priorities. It has the potential to make us stronger. Whether or not the process of loss and grief makes us stronger depends, in part on how willing we are to engage in the hard work of coping with our feelings. Often, the support of others proves to be absolutely key to recovery, as does finding ways to offer self care and emotional support through familiar activities of connecting with friendship. At the Maser Funeral Home, we think that you will find us to be flexible and thoughtful, no matter how you experience your grieving process. We're at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, VA.

Real Estate Directory CEREMONY: John Schultz, left, and Howard Ziemer with the statue of the Lone Sailor at the Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C. Local men attend dedication in D.C. On Oct. 5 John Schultz of Washington and Howard Ziemer of Amissville participated in a wreath laying ceremony dedicated to the 53 former naval enlisted pilots who passed away this past year. Mr. Ziemer was the Master of Ceremonies. A fraternal organization of former naval enlisted pilots, the Silver Eagles Association (SEA), conducted the ceremony. They belong to the Washington, D.C. Wing of SEA that hosted the three day national reunion in Arlington.
