With 48 percent of all state precincts reporting, Warner held a 53 to 46 percent lead over Mark Earley (R), who conceded the election shortly after 10 p.m. Democrat Timothy Kaine of Richmond was leading Jay Katzen IR) of Fauquier in the lieutenant governor’s race, and Jerry Kilgore IR) of southwestern Virginia was leading Donald McEachin (D) in the attorney general’s race. Warner’s likely victory would halt a decade of record political gains by the Republican Party in which the GOP took control of every statewide office and the General Assembly for the first time since Reconstruction. Turnout was lighter than anticipated around the state. This year’s race for governor set lew fund-raising records. Warner amassed a whopping $18 million— roosted by $4.6 million of his own personal fortune. Earley raised $10 million. Local results .;: Bucking the statewide trend, Republican candidates in the first general election * since Rappahannock County was redis,ricted enjoyed a clean sweep here. According to unofficial results, in the governor’s race Mark Earley (R) squeaked by Mark Warner (D) by just 85 votes, 1,369 to 1,284. For lieutenant governor, former 31st District Delegate Jay Katzen (R) enjoyed a larger margin over Tim Kaine (D), 1,457 to 1,174, or 283 votes. Rappahannock joined the majority in the state for the attorney general’s race, with former Public Safety Secretary Jerry Kilgftre (R) easily defeating Del. Donald McEachin, 1,571 to 1,073, a difference of 498 votes. By percentages, Earley garnered 50.5 percent of the county vote, while Katzen took 55.3 percent and Kilgore 59.4 percent of the vote in Rappahannock. 15th District race Now part of the 15th District of the House of Delegates, Rappahannock voters favored incumbent Allen Louderback (R), a Luray businessman, over challenger Brad Pollack (I) an attorney from Bayse, by a nearly two-to-one margin. In Rappahannock, Louderback garnered 1,630 votes, or 66 percent, compared with Pollack’s 840, or 34 percent. This pattern persisted throughout the 15th District. In Shenandoah County, Louderback garnered 6,987 votes (or 65 percent) to Pollack’s 3,807; and in the Swift Run precinct in Rockingham County, Louderback received 491 votes (57 percent) to Pollack’s 364. In Louderback’s home county of Page — with four out of five precincts reporting by presstime — he was ahead of Pollack by a margin See VOTING, Page A8 Cell towers! nearly a done deal By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer After a year of Rappahannock cell tower focus, the County’s Board of Supervisors began the process of ending debate by approving six of seven of the personal wireless services facilities proposed by Sprint,PCS. The sole remaining tower to be considered is the easternmost facility located in the Amissville area. Sprint PCS’ application had included a 199 foot monopole at Robert and Joan Duxbury’s property off Route 639, north of US 211, but a concerted effort by Jackson District residents and fire and rescue volunteers appears to have been successful, and Sprint PCS has amended its proposal to allow for the option of locating that facility at the Amissville Fire Hall. The “Duxbury” application will be readvertised, and a hearing, will be held on this last of seven towers at the December meeting of the Board of Supervisors. Public hearings were slated at this Board of Supervisors meeting for the Duxbury site, as well as for the Miller and Huntly silos, but Chairman Pete Estes recommended tabling the Duxbury application, given Sprint PCS amendments, and the Board agreed. The hearings were conducted on the two silo sites, but not until Wakefield District Supervisor Roger Welch offered a statement of recusal. Mr. Welch informed the Board and attendees that he would neither engage in discussions on nor would he vote upon the two applications, Huntly Silo and Welch Slope, that involve his mother's properties. He noted that that he was not legally precluded from doing so, but wished to avoid “the appearance of impropriety.” Public comments and responses to them by Sprint PCS’ attorney, Brian Buniva, were true to form and reflected little that had not been stated in prior hearings. Comments were again generally unfavorable toward the silos and to the lack of full cell coverage in Sprint PCS’ overall application, but the Board of Supervisors seemed supportive of the applications and voted unanimously, with the exception of Mr. Welch’s abstaining on the two Arland Welch sites, for their approval. The only negative comments from the Board of Supervisors pertained to the lack of full coverage in the County, and Stonewall-Hawthorne District Supervisor, Bob Anderson, expressed l»is opinion that Sprint PCS’ first Application, that provided broader coverage but proposed significantly larger and less “stealthy” towers, was See TOWERS, Page A8 Rappahannock Now* PtKXo/Barbara C.

Prescription program coming to County CCLC Benefit Auction and Party Saturday night Michael Soule, Senior Advocate of the R a p p a h a n n o c k - R a p i d a n Community Services Board and Sharon Pyne of the Rappahannock Department of Social Services hope to begin a new program in Rappahannock soon. The program is being sponsored by “People Helping People", a member organization of the Senior Care Network. The purpose of the program is to try and establish a vehicle to access prescription medications for low-income senior citizens. They are currently in the process of raising funds to get the project underway. The project comes from the Fauquier and Rappahannock Senior Care Network, an organization of social workers, health care providers and caregivers serving the elderly in both counties. Soule explains the situation: “One of the main problems facing the senior citizen population is the inability to pay for prescription medications. This is a major and well-documented problem in most areas of the county. Most companies have an indigent drug^program that will make medications available to those who cannot afford them. Each company has its own application process and will give a threemonth supply, which can be renewed in most cases. However, the application is lengthy and requires the involvement of the client’s physician. Turn around time is four to six weeks if all goes well. If a person is taking several mediations, several drug companies may be involved, necessitating several applications. If approved, the threemonth supply of medication is sent to the doctor. These medications must be tracked, as the patient’s name is not on the shipping label and they can often end up in the doctors’ sample cabinet. Re-application can be made as long as the medication is needed but care must be given to re-apply in a timely manner in order to ensure the continuity of the medication schedule. We have found that most seniors cannot accomplish this arduous process on their own and we as care givers simply do not have the time to meet the high demand for this service” concluded Soule. According to Soule the People Helping People organization is proposing to establish a ‘20-hour per week position Chat will focus exclusively on accessing medications for seniors that cannot afford them. The person selected will need to establish relationships with doctors, nurses, pharmaceutical companies and clients to ensure a consistent supply and monitor any changes in medications. A computer will be needed to set up a database for the application process and to track medication needs of clients. The Virginia Health Care Foundation has created a computer program called “The Pharmacy Connection” which will assist in this process. Funds are needed to help establish this program. Hopefully, funds will be raised to carry the program through the first year. Anyone or any organization that would like to make a donation to the program or those desiring additional information should contact Mr. Soule at 825-3100, extension 3427 or Ms. Pyne at 6753313.

For most teams, it was their last game of this fall season. U-8’s Orange Crush played against Rapp U-8 Coach Letsen’s team Saturday morning. Billy Hogan and Patrick Foley played an aggressive game. Coach Letsen’s team was led by outstanding plays on both ends of the field by Henry Miller scoring two goals and K.T. Milan having an all around great game. With one more game to play next weekend, Coach Letsen’s U-8 remains undefeated. The Rappahannock boys U12 team played their final game of the season against Coach Casillas’ U12 Culpeper team, ending another hard fought game with an 0 - 3 loss and finishing the season with a 2-5-1 record. Fullbacks Keenan Sherwood and Gavin Forest played another strong defensive game, and halfbacks Sean Mullan and Brian Ross kept the pressure on the other team until the final whistle. All the players have come together as a team and never quit trying, win or lose. The coach is quite proud of the team, even though th^y dumped a bucket of ice water on his head after the game, and hopes to see everyone back for the County team in the Spring; go Green Dragons,go! Coach Oz’s U-10 team won their last game of the season. Scorers for the team were Brian Shafran and Zack Wayland. Again the entire team contributed to this win. Thanks and appreciation go out to Coach Oz whose coaching and guidance helped each player improve their soccer skills throughout the season. The team oq,ly lost one game this year and that was their very first game. Congratulations to an awesome team: Daniel Clemments, Cody Dodson, Robert Falls, Greg Flournoy, Connor Foley, Huck Pace, Brian Shafran, Zack Wayland, Dane Wellemeyer, Gary White and James White. Looking forward to the spring soccer season! The U-10 girls, Rappahannock Rapids, faced their most fearsome and ruthless opponent of the season this past Saturday: their parents and grandparents. It was a rugged and seesaw battle until the girls finally prevailed and we celebrated with a picnic. Many thanks to all the parents and grandparents who risked life and limb in the contest. The Blue Lightning U-1'2 girls played their final game in Culpeper this past Saturday in a rematch from earlier this fall, when the Culpeper girls defeated our Blue Lightning 2-0. The Rapp girls really showed how much they improved as the Blue Lightning passed the ball well in an exciting game that ended in a 0-0 tie. Hannah Rosenbaum, Emily Carter, Ella Miller, Megan Wheatley and Kara Corbin all had shots on the Culpeper goalie, just missing each time. Noel Johns played excellent defense in front of the Blue Lightning goalies, frustrating the Culpeper forwards. Ella Miller, Megan Wheatley, and Emma Hathaway shared goalie duties for the Blue Lightning, each making big stops. The Blue Lightning girls seemed to play better each week, and this week they played their best game of the season. I know their coaches and parents are proud of them. Congratulations girls! We are all looking forward to seeing you play again next year. U-14 action had RIOT at home Sunday to face Orange U14 coached by Mr.Wilson. Coach Pendleton’s team came ready , willing and able to play RIOT Soccer on a beautiful fall afternoon. Coach Gillis handled the starting line up as RIOT members were eager for the starting whistle. RIOT took off scoring first and set the pace for the game. Orange was denied with any attempt to bring the ball upheld and Keeper Tommy Pendleton denied them anything else. RIOT coaches moved players around for all of the game giving chances at unfamiliar positions. Much to Orange's surprise, all of the changes kept RIOT in control most of the gam£. At half time Orange was down 0-6. RIOT was pumped and except for a keeper change, second half was much like the first. Orange did score late in the second half but it was way too late for a come back. RIOT Offense was in prime form and had seven players score eleven goals. Carlos Flores had 4, Larry Oliver had 2, Chris Harris , Andrew Kohler, Patrick Treanor,Tommy Pendleton, and Andrew Treanor each had one goal. Great teamwork by everyone had shots on goal by Paige Lysaght, Josh Makela, Matt Swain, Samantha Harlow, Ellie Dodd-Henze, Tommy Gillis, Gunner Propst and Rhonda Jackson. Sweeper Ry Wellemeyer was, as always instrumental in keeping any attempts from the visiting team away. RIOT season ended with 6 wins 2 ties and 2 losses. After Sundays game RIOT parents challenged RIOT players to a game,, RIOT Parents 2...RIOT Players 1 GO RIOT A big thank you to all coaches, assistant coaches, parent volunteers, our generous league sponsors, and our referees.

More Letters Appreciation expressed I wish to express my thanks to Mr. Close, Hungry Run Farm, Fred and Jane Naramore. Christina, Kenny, Carrie, Josh, and all of the other dedicated, hard working people who made the Haunted Bam such a wonderful, scary, super fun experience. This thank you also comes from four of my young adult friends: Two of them had no idea what it was like to experience the dark of night in the country! I am sure all of the children had a fun time as well. At this time in history, what a great thing for a community to have, a fun, very professional, in good taste Halloween party, that benefits such a worthwhile project. Yes, Rappahannock County is God's gift to the earth. * Pearl Hatfield Fairfax Lions Club raffle successful On behalf of the entire Rappahannock Lions Club, we would like to thank everyone that attended and supported our annual Draw Down Raffle held on Saturday, Nov. 3 at the Lakeside Club in Hollerin’ from the Mountain #3 This is the third in a series of commentaries on Thomas Jefferson’s view of the First Amendment. As previously stated, Jefferson was not expressing the intent of the founders when he referred to “separation of church and state,” and he never advocated shielding the government from the “influence” of religion. Tb the contrary, he advocated protection of religious institutions from undue influence by the State. The fact that Jefferson did not espouse a wall of separation of church and state, in the sense that the state must be free from the influence of religion, is best established by Jefferson’s actions and not the misinterpreted comments made in a political election. In establishing the University of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson not only encouraged the teaching of religion, but also set aside a place inside the Rotunda for chapel services. He also spoke highly of the use, in his hometown, of the local courthouse for religious services. Those who espouse a hard-line doctrine of “separation of church and state” would be up in arms if it were proposed that the Bible be read daily in our local public schools. Yet, Jefferson chaired the school board for the District of Columbia, where he authored the first plan of education adopted by the city of Washington, which used the Bible as one of the principle books to teach reading to students. Obviously, those who champion “separation of churcn and state” are either ignorant of what Jefferson stood for, or they are simply ignoring the truth to promote their own anti-God agenda. Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, in which he invoked the authority of “Nature’s God” and the protections of “Divine Providence.” As President, he offered A National Prayer for Peace that begins “Almighty God, Who has given us this good land for our heritage....” He signed into law bills which appropriated financial support for chaplains in Congress and in the armed forces. He signed the Articles of War, April 10, 1806, in which he “Earnestly recommended to all officers and soldiers, diligently to attend divine services.” While there are many, many more observances I could offer to demonstrate Jefferson’s beliefs, let me end with the following comment he made with respect to religion: “Deemed to other countries incompatible with good government and yet proved by our experience to be its best support.” Furthermore, State-sponsored religions were not prohibited by the First Amendment when it was adopted. The founders, from 13 different States, were making sure that their freedom to worship in accordance with the religion of their particular State would not be interfered with by the Federal government. The official religion of Virginia, at the time of adoption of the First Amendment, was the Episcopal religion. It was not until the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment that the First Amendment became applicable to the States. Accordingly, the argument that the “founders” intended that the First Amendment would create a “separation of church and state” is clearly erroneous and contrary to historical evidence.

Settle, President Rappahannock County Lions Club Lighting Ordinance unwanted by the majority Who says we need a newlighting ordinance? Howmany advocates do we see at the Planning meetings each month? Do we only have the same three or four people who regularly attend each meeting and lobby for new ordinances for lighting, cell towers, sludge and so on? What is important is what does the majority of county citizens want? A survey done in Amissville over a short time period and with minimal effort resulted in a petition with about 150 signatures of citizens not in favor of a new lighting ordinance. Does a small rural county with only 6,900 citizens and with a minimal business base need a lighting ordinance that you might expect to see in a city the size of Charlottesville? We have citizens who remember Rappahannock County before we had electricity and we really had “dark skies”.

If we didn’t need or want the old one, why would we want an even stricter ordinance that assaults our freedom of choice. If necessary put it to a referendum for all citizens to express their choice and return to the concept that the majority rules and the minority cools. Robert Lindquist Amissville Cancer Screening Existing Diagnostic Tests Find New Use as a Preventative Screening to Detect Cancer Before the Appearance of Clinical Signals Prevention and early detection are the two most important and effective strategies for saving lives that may be shortened by cancer. Early detection would include: examinations and tests intended to find cancer as early as possible with the fewest side effects. It is advisable to try to detect the presence of cancer as soon as possible before the appearance of clinical signs. Based on scientific research and expert opinion, the American Cancer Society has established recommendations to detect cancer early in asymptomatic people. Today, such progress has been made in biology that it is possible to detect cancers before the appearance of any clinical signals and without the aid of imagery. One of these is the use of tumor markers that appear in the blood in relation to development of some of the most important cancers. Measurements or identification of tumor markers is useful, because it can detect substances in the blood in early stages, a signal that further medical attention is needed. American Screening Association will give local residents the opportunity to have these tumor markers, as well as other life saving screenings performed in Warrenton, VA on Saturday, November 17, 2001. • (3) Tumor Markers: CFA (carcinoembryonic antigen): A tumor marker which aids in the detection of the following types of cancer colorectal, pancreas, lung, breast, stomach, thyroid, female genital. AFP (alpha feta protein): A tumor marker which aids in the detection of the following types of cancer liver, ovary, testicle. ESA (prostate specific antigen): Aids in the detection of prostate cancer. • Homocysteine: Measures the level of homocysteine in the body that has been shown to contribute to several processes that cause arteriosclerosis (thickening and loss of elasticity of the arterial walls/hardening of the arteries.) When nearly 15,000 male physicians were followed for 5 years, those with the highest homocysteine levels were three times more likely to suffer a heart attack even when taking other risk factors into account • TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone): Aids in the detection of hyper and hypothyroidism to determine how much hormone the thyroid gland is producing. According to the Thyroid Society for Education and Research, nearly 20 nu^on Americans are affected by an imbalance of this hormone and over half are unaware of it • Also available will be ultrasound screenings for stroke/carotid artery disease, abdominal aortic aneurysms, osteoporosis and peripheral arterial disease. Urinal., s!„ which includes glucose for diabetes and cholesterol (full lipid panel) may also be added. Lab tests are $49.00 each, 3 for $129.(X Add on any ultrasound for $25.00 each.

Luray man arrested As the result of a lookout posted by the Virginia State Police, a Luray man was arrested by the Rappahannock County SherifFs Office late on the evening of Nov. 4 and charged with driving while intoxicated. According to Sheriff Larry Sherertz, Dep. James Welch stopped George F. Dill, 48, in Rappahannock County at about 11:30 p.m. after receiving the look-out, and charged him with DWI. The report of a suspicious person outside of a residence on Battle Mountain Road near Amissville early on the morning of Oct. 31 brought two deputies to the scene, but no one was found. A woman had called from the home complaining of the intrusion at about 5:30 a.m., and deputies arrived on the scene shortly afterward. According to the complainant, she was looking out of a window and saw an unknown person staring back at her. She yelled at the man, who turned and fled into the woods near the house. “We are investigating this as misdemeanor trespassing, rather than a case of a ‘peeping Tom,” noted Sheriff Sherertz.

He too though voted in favor of the six sites considered at the meeting. Hampton District Supervisor Bryant Lee referred, on a few occasions, to favorable support that he has received from the community for Sprint PCS’ applications, and his comments and votes reflected that position. The final tally: approval of Miller Silo, Huntly Silo, Nicholson Slope, Eastham Slope, Rose Hill Silo, and Welch Slope, and the tabling of Duxbury Isthmus until the December meeting. According to Mr. Buniva, it is likely that construction of the towers will be completed before the end of the first quarter of 2002. Six Year Road Plan Hearing The cell tower hearing was preceded at the evening session of the Board of Supervisors meeting by a brief public hearing on the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT) Six Year Road Plan and Secondary Road Budget for Rappahannock County. Robert Moore of VDOT introduced the hearing by noting that budget projections for secondary road improvements are “flatlined” at approximately $800,000 for the next few years because of Virginia budget issues. He then summarized his recommendations for County secondary road improvement priorities. These include widening gravel sections of Castle Mountain Road (Route 617), improving sections of Battle Mountain Road (Route 640), curve improvements on Woodward Road (Route 600), and drainage improvements and sidewalk construction on Main Street in Sperryville (Route 1001). The entire plan includes thirty prioritized improvements, and Mr. Moore will be discussing individual plan projects with concerned residents and County officials before the Six Year Plan is finalized. Virginia Cooperative Extension successes Kenner Love, Extension Agent for the Rappahannock County office of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, provided the Board with a review of the office’s programs and successes. He discussed highlights of the pesticides disposal program, the vineyard and orchard programs, the weed control evaluation program, and the Virginia Premium Assured Heifer Program in the County. He noted that Rappahannock, with 5558 pounds of pesticides collected, was number one in participation of thirty-three localities in the pesticides disposal program. He discussed Rappahannock’s model vineyard program and its effectiveness, and the program of integrated pest management within the County’s orchard program. He spoke of the stickweed control tests conducted at Hayland Eldon Farm, and benefits and effectiveness of the premium assured heifer program. Other activities • At the beginning of the afternoon session, Supervisor Bob Anderson presented Chairman Pete Estes with a plaque recognizing his “twenty years in the Virginia Association of Counties.” • The Board approved a resolution of appreciation for Harold Artz of Amissville, who passed away on Saturday, Nov. 3. • School Superintendent Dr. David Gangel informed the Board that the George Washington Carver/Piedmont Technical School facilities in Culpeper will be “surplused,” if the school’s control board and the School Boards and Boards of Supervisors of the four participating counties agree. Some income should be derived for Rappahannock County once the approvals are obtained and the property is sold. • Col. D.C. Rnuepfer, Coordinator of Rappahannock County’s Office of Emergency Service, provided information of Rappahannock’s disaster preparedness. He noted that the County is in an alert period, and that the local emergency planning committee is meeting biweekly. Though there have been reports of suspect anthrax (ten reports have been filed and three have been investigated), all have proven negative. “We in Rappahannock are prepared . . . we are relatively secure,” he told the Board. Mr. McCarthy added that “we are very low on the (terrorist’s) target list.” • Brian Duncan, Executive Director of the Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Board provided a history and overview of the organizations services. • The Board again discussed the October request by Geraldine Freeman, Donald Porter, and others for a new right-of-way to replace the abandoned section of Route 622. Mr. Estes said that he is continuing to investigate the issue, and may have some response at the Board’s December meeting. • County Administrator John McCarthy provided an update on the Sperryville Gateway project, noting that Main Street drainage improvements have been engineered for a 50 year storm and that these improvements and sidewalk construeVoting From Page A1 of 2,743 (60.8 percent) to 1,764. “I am very pleased with the election results, and look forward to the next legislation,” said Louderback Tuesday night from his victory celebration in Luray. “I intend to work on behalf of the entire district, and welcome every opportunity to serve the citizens I represent.” As a former member of the Page County Board of Supervisors, Louderback was known by many in Rappahannock before the redistricting allied our county with Page, Shenandoah and Rockingham counties. From 1991-2000, Rappahannock was allied with Fauquier and a small part of Warren counties in the old 31st District, which was represented by delegate and most recently lieutenant governor candidate Jay tion will commence next year with support from VDOT. He also said that the pedestrian bridge design has been completed and that all approvals except for VDOT’s have been received. Once VDOT approves the bridge plan, bids will be solicited. Mr. McCarthy expects that the construction of the bridge and associated walkways will be completed by May of 2002. • Mr. McCarthy requested and received okay for a $29,513 computer upgrade for the Commissioner of Revenue and the Treasurer’s offices. This upgrade was necessitate ed by software updates that can not be supported on the eleven year old system, and the funds for the purchase will come from the $250,000 saved on RCES lagoon repairs. • The Board agreed to provide some of the funds required to reprint copies of a tourist map/brochure created by Hal and Beverly Hunter. Bryant Lee and Roger Welch spoke in support of the expenditure of $1000 and of the effectiveness of the brochure. Katzen from 1993 to 2001. Until the new district lines were drawn, candidates interested in Running in the old 31st District this year included Republicans Walter Longyear of Washington and Wendell “Dell” Ennis of Fauquier. With the new alignment, Longyear dropped out of the race and put his support behind Louderback, while Ennis competed for the Republican nod in the new 31st District, which is principally in eastern Prince William County. Ennis was defeated in the August 2001 GOP primary by Scott Lingamfelter of Dale City, who went on to win the. delegate’s seat in Tuesday’s election. In a related election, Front Royal Mayor Clifford “Clay” Athey (R)— whom Louderback defeated in the GOP canvass for the 1999 race — will be joining Louderback in Richmond next year, having won the race for the new 18th District. m ^OBJECTS IN MIRROR AR% CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR I scheduling your visit with us as trouble free as possible. paperwork.

This increase is due to several factors that form a habitat that is favored by the deer. Cutover woods, grown up fields and the decline in natural predators like mountain lions and wolves are certainly factors. Those factors combined with the polygamous habits of the male deer and the natural productiveness of the female has caused the increase. The female deer, called a doe, gives birth to young, called fawns, in May or June. A doe may give birth to one, two, or three fawns at a time. After the fawn is first born it has no scent so predators cannot smell it. A fawn’s coat is reddishbrown with small white spots. This coloring helps the young fawn blend in with the forest. Blending in with the habitat is called camouflage, and it is one way an animal adapts to its environment. The spots on a fawn disappear when the fawn completes its first molt and gets a winter coat, at about five months old. Adult deer range in color from tawny to gray on their backs and flanks and are white below. A male deer or buck in our area can weigh nearly 200 pounds and that would be considered a large deer. The buck is easy to identify in the summer and fall because they grow a set of antlers each year, also called a rack. The rack is made of bone and has points, called tines. Many tines on a buck’s rack tell us that the deer is healthy and lives in a good habitat. A buck’s antlers reach full growth in the fall. You may see a buck rubbing his antlers on a tree in early fall to get rid of i * the sott velvet that protected his new antlers. As the buck rubs off the velvet, the antlers will become ivory-colored at the tips. In the winter, bucks shed their antlers. During the mating season, also called the “rut”, bucks fight for territory and tne privilege ol mating with the most female 1 deer. Bucks will crash antlers to claim this ter ritory. iney do not usually get hurt during the fights. A buck will also mark his territory by stomping on the ground to make “scrapes” on the land and rubbing his antlers on trees, called a “buck rub”. Deer depend mostly on their excellent sense of smell to detect danger. They have scent glands on their legs and feet that are used to produce scents to communicate to other deer. Their most outstanding characteristic is the white under parts of their tail, it shines and flashes like a beacon when the deer jumps and runs for protection, signaling other deer when danger is present. Deer are also able to run up to 40 miles per hour, jump 9-foot fences, and swim 13 miles per hour. The whitetail deer is an herbivore, meaning it eats plants. Deer graze on tree leaves, broadleaved herbs, and berries in the summer and acorns, grass, and herbs during the fall. During the winter, deer munch on twigs, nuts, fruits, and corn and in the spring deer eat grass, wheat, and alfalfa. Many Virginia Piedmont farmers have seen the damage inflicted every year on crops when an overabundance of these animals is present. They can be very destructive to orchards. “ Deer have a fourchambered stomach that allows them to digest these ^ _ plant foods. They gobble up their food quickly and hardly even chew. Later as they are resting, they cough up their, food and rechew it. Today we often have the problem of too many deer in some areas. A deer is its own worst enemy and will rapidly destroy its own range by overpopulating it. Deer must be managed and harvested for their own good. Some areas allow does to be taken when herds reach such proportions that they must be reduced to keep in line with available food. The main factor influencing the population of any species is the availability of food and shelter. When not properly managed many deer are lost each year to starvation. There are as many, if not more, people who just enjoy watching deer or photographing them as there are hunters. Both jroups are sure that the world is a better place because of the deer. 1 Enjoy the outdoors! ; Jim By waters, Y' A Rappahannock News Nature pPj Writer, writes ■- a weekly column.

Bucky Pizzarelli Trio coming to Theatre Bucky Pizzarelli, the famous f jazz guitarist, returns to The Theatre at Washington, for a concert on Saturday, Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. Chuck Redd will play both vibes and drums and Steve Novosel plays bass. Eighteen months has past since the trio was last here. Pizzarelli’s long career spans the years from the Vaughn Monroe Orchestra to White House concerts with Benny Goodman and Frank Sinatra to the present day. The night before the concert in “Little” j Washington, he will be playing at Carnegie Hall with Skitch Henderson. He has toured the world with Benny Goodman, Zoot Sims, Benny Carter, Barney Kessel and Charlie Byrd to name but a few. The New Yorker has written of him: “Guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, to borrow a phrase from Irving Berlin, just reeks with class. This consummate craftsman can seduce with velvety chords or rumble through a swing chorus with barrelling assurance.” Chuck Redd made his international debut when he joined the Charlie Byrd Trio in 1980 at the age of 21. He now leads his own trio. Last month, The Washington Post wrote of a concert given by the Chuck Redd Trio “all three musicians, guitarist Gene Bertoncini and Bassist Tommy Cecil as well as Redd on vibes, found fresh ways to embellish the themes without compromising the composer’s intentions or a tune’s inherent charm.” (Like Redd, Bertoncini and Cecil have also appeared at the Theatre in Washington). Redd is a member of the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra which earlier this year featured Quincy Jones as a quest conductor. He has recently established his own web site: www.ChuckRedd.com, where clips of his music can be heard. Redd’s CD with Gene Bertoncini and bassist George Mraz is due for release on the Arbors label in the near future. Bassist S t e‘ v e Novosel has been touring Europe with Shirley Horne but expects to De back in this country in time for the upcoming concert. Early reservations are recommended for this return performance at the Theatre at Washington, by the Bucky Pizzarelli Trio on Saturday, Nov. 17. The concert is already heavily subscribed. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students 18 years and under.

Ms. Brownstein’s painted, cast cement figures are intended for landscape placement and two are on loan from her patron’s gardens. Ms. Novak’s acrylic paintings and two pastel and acrylic works on paper all portray flowers, trees, fields and mountains. Brownstein’s sculptures of individuals and dogs complement Novak’s colorful works, making a refreshing, cheerful impression for m Review visitors entering the gallery from the glowing fall oiA-of-doors. The simplified, darkly painted figures Brownstein creates are roughly textured so that light reflects richly from their blue and tawny reds. The figures are substantial yet spiritual in execution. A seated nude female, androgynous and nearly life size, expresses serenity, even while graced with a pink and red necklace, wholly alien to her nature. “Away Tb Me” is another androgynous nude holding a star-tipped wand at a right angle to its body before an arrested, observant dog. This coupling of a dog and a person is a favorite theme of Brownstein’s. “Sit, Stay”, a large figure of a dog, one can imagine hopes to evoke the memory of a friend. Brownstein arouses emotion by elongating some of her subject’s body parts, necks, arms, legs, or torso, while diminishing the heads, hands and feet. The seeming simplicity of her work always bears her stylized signature. Novak’s paintings are also more suggestive of her subjects than literal portrayals. She delights in shad owless scenes where the paint tends to come forward on the Mat canvas. While there are distinct portrayals of sky, mountains, trees and fields, most of the pictures on view in this show are not concerned to take one deeply into the scene. One featured picture, “Western Sun” glows golden behind trees in a mountain setting. “Winter Remnant”, an acrylic and pastel of blues, pink, purple and gray, is especially successful in its subtle color combinations and seemingly fragile, bare trees. Most of the pictures are framed in attractive walnut strips of wood that appropriately leave the images to speak for themselves. Animals launched into cyberspace, RAWL has joined % Rappahannock Animal Welfare League has joined Petfinder.com, the largest and oldest virtual animal shelter. The web site represents over 50,000 homeless animals in some 2600 shelters and rescue groups I nationwide. Each animal in need of a home has its own home page on the site, including a description and usually a photograph.

It may occur October or even early November. “Indian Summer” is generally associated with a period of considerably above normal temperatures, accompanied by dry and hazy conditions in the fall. Several references make note that a true “Indian Summer” can not occur until after there has been a killing frost or freeze. Since frost and freezing temperatures generally work their way south through the fall, this would give credence to the possibility of several Indian Summers occurring in a fall. A typical weather map that reflects Indian Summer weather involves a large area of high pressure along or just off the East Coast. Occasionally it will be this high pressure that produces the frost or freezing conditions only a few nights before as it moves out of Canada, across Sperry vi lie By SALLY KEYSER 987-8471 the Plains, on to the East Coast. The warmer temperatures from the South are then pulled north on southerly breezes making a clockwise rotation of wind around the high pressure. It is common for these conditions to last a few days to well over a week. There may be several occurrences before winter sets in. Such a mild spell is usually broken when a strong low pressure and cold front pushes across the region. Does the term “Indian Summer” really have anything to do with Indians? There are lots of possibilities. One explanation might be that early native Indians chose this time of the year as their hunting season. The fall months are still considered the main hunting season for several animals, so this would be reasonable. Also the mild and hazy weather encourage the animals out, and the haze gives the hunters an advantage to sneak up on the animals without being detected. There are several theories or possibilities of the explanation and origin of the term “Indian Summer”, yet no one theory has actually been proven. Regardless, enjoy the Indian Summer while its here, because one thing is for certain, it never lasts. The full moon we had last week was beautiful, but I did not realize that it was the first full moon on Halloween night for 46 years. According to astronomers this won’t hap pen again until 2U2U.

Shakespeare on screen - Part 2 By Naomi & Herb* Rappahannock News Writer Due to space limitations, only two of the three Shakespeare reviews were in the paper. Following is the last one. • Titus: 2000, Rated R, (172 very long minutes). Based on Shakespeare’s play, Titus Andronicus, this is a truly horrifying tale of the extent to which revenge may be carried. The story is violent, ugly and depraved, and the film production of it is absolutely magnificent if you can endure the violence. Julie Taymore (the Emmy-award willing creator of Broadway’s Lion King) directed the film, and the sets, costumes and music are superb. The juxtaposition of modern, classic and newclassic elements is genius (an example is in the opening sequence, featuring classically-costumed Romans on motorcycles, and the very modern version of the Roman Coliseum). Jessica Lange stars as Tamora, the imprisoned Goth queen, whose eldest son is killed by Titus (Anthony Hopkins), the mighty general who leads the Romans to victory over the Goths. This first death, Review Ik i... an attempt to insure Tamora’s allegiance to Rome, creates a succession of brutal revenge killings. The perfectly snotty Alan Cumming is Saturninus who is declared Emperor following the death of Caesar, (Titus is offered the job, but turns it down) frees the Goth slaves, and proposes to marry Titus’ only daughter, Lavinia, to meld the two families. But Lavinia, a virgin, is in love with Bassianus, brother to the new emperor. Titus kills one of his own two sons who shows no allegiance to the new emperor, and Saturninus then decides to wed the Goth queen, Tamora, to punish the sons of Titus who favor Bassianus over him. Meanwhile, the queen has a Moor lover, Aaron, by whom she has a black child. The evil Moor plots the downfall of everyone. The emperor’s brother is killed by Titus’ sons, so Tamora’s sons kidnap, rape and mutilate Lavinia. Titus responds by cutting off his own hand, killing Titus sons and baking them in a pie to serve to Tamora at a feast. Titus then also kills his own daughter, Lavinia, because she is ruined. He also stabs Tamora to death. The Emperor kills Titus and his brother, and then Titus’s remaining sons kill the Emperor. Lucius, Titus’ oply remaining son, becomes emperor, and then puts Aaron in a hole in the ground to die. He had promised to spare the illegitimate son of the Moor and Tamora, but now wants to kill him. In the one note of sanity in the whole ugly deal, young Lucius, the now-emperor’s son, takes the baby and flees. The closing scene of him carrying the child, walking out a Roman archway with the sun rising in the distance, provides powerful imagery. So, although this is one of the original X-rated stories of life, it is a forceful classic which teaches compelling lessons. The film is magnificent and deserves and A+ as well, but Herb notes we have actually somewhat sugarcoated the brutality here. Bear this in mind, and don’t say we didn’t warn you. At Cinema Paradiso some other really good Shakespeare modern remakes include: “Hamlet”, 2000, with Ethan Hawke, Julia Stiles and Sam Sheperd; The famous 1987 “Taming of the Shrew” with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton during one of their several marriage to each other; “Much Ado About Nothing”, 1993, with Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington and Kenneth Branaugh; “Looking for Richard” (Based on Richard III) made in 1196 with A1 Pacino as the king, and the 1996 “Twelfth Night” with Helena Bonham Carter and Ben Kingsley. Classic Shakespeare videos are also available and are excellent, but we frankly enjoy the newer films. Pearls before swine, you know. This and other fine films (as well as DVDs) available at Cinema Paradiso Video Rental, Packing Shed Corner, Porter and Gay Streets, Washington, 6753410, Tuesday through Sunday 12:30-6 p.m. Friday, until 7:30 p.m. * Naomi and Herb, aging but Hip movie buffs, live in Rappahannock County, and prefer to remain anonymous. 1 ’ CHEVROLET Keen America Rolling Country Chevrolet has Northern Virginia’s Best Selection of New Chevrolet Cars and Trucks - Over 300 Available but you better hurry Sales Volume is three times normal and the best colors are going fast!

If survivors are left to make these decisions, they are likely to be experiencing emotions that render the process all the more difficult. For this reason alone, matters should be discussed in advance and funeral prearrangement considered. Having an honest conversation about death, and what preferences should be followed when it occurs need not be difficult. Death is a part of life, and funeral arrangements are as necessary as life insurance. And like life insurance, prearranging your funeral makes it possible to take steps to ensure that your loved ones are spared needless concern. Folks don’t realize how many options they have when it comes to prearrangements or how positive they can be for the whole family. At the Moser Funeral Home we urge you to consider prearrangements. The process is not complicated, but it does involve a willingness to discuss options. We understand how sensitive that can be, but, from experience, we can honestly say that those who make these choices in advance find great satisfaction in having provided for their families.

(A mountain smile that sneaks upon a frown when down) “And cold invigorating air to blow the snow flakes through my hair”, I say “and linger for a while”... The murmur, of brittle breezes that teases frost to turn to snow from distant hills beguiles the air to begin to blow - its cold renown to numb the toes and nose. The cold and clear that births the night that dreams may turn to real; such black of sky - I wonder why, “The diamond stars can pierce with light through cold of night, like stakes of fire - born so white to burn our very eyes..” And here within this special place gracing every mountain’s face a sugar glaze of silver’d sparkles dance upon each blade of grass - and limb and glistens on the crispy fallen leaves I think - “alas, who knows at all how many petals pink and pale that shrink within it’s freezing gale?” A testimony to the frosty snub.

The Healthy Garden Into the woods By Donna LaPre Rappahannock News Writer Maybe you Deneved in fairies and elves when you were a child A and L%V / you f still do! , How | could anyone, I won der, who has seen a woodland blooming with spring ephemerals doubt for a minute the presence of the little people? The smallness and fineness of bloom and foliage which define the tender, spring wood flora certainly suggest tiny beings tiptoeing through bluebells and hepatica, wearing red and yellow hats of native columbine. Hopefully, you haven’t shut that door in your imagination, but if you have it can be pried open again with the welcoming of these plants into your garden. Being into the topic of bulbs these last few weeks, I didn’t want to leave out the wonderful natives and woodland adaptives in this category. Some of the “bulbs” mentioned here are actually corms, rhizomes and tubers, botanically distinct from bulbs, yet grouped as such in catalogs and some books. All of these plant parts are storage organs: underground stems .stem bases and fleshy root parts. “Garden” is a term I’d apply loosely to the type of plantings described below, because to “garden” in a wooded area requires a different state of mind than you may be accustomed to in your regular gardening approach. Rows, mathematical spacing and willfulness just won’t do! Nor is there as wide a berth for stretching a plant’s preferred growing conditions. Bulbs appropriate for the wooded garden must be planted gently around and between indigenous inhabitants: tree roots, mosses and delicate plants, whereas a new garden is usually a vast, fresh terrain of bare earth waiting for the gardener to impose a pattern. In the woods, the pattern is pretty much indicated or laid out already. As with any other wild habitat, respect for the place and a genuine attempt to follow nature will bring the greatest success. Also, before selecting and ordering bulbs, check your plant sources carefully to ensure that plant material is nursery propagated, not collected from the wild. Blood root is one of the rhizomatous flowers offered in some catalogs. It is also one of the first natives to bloom. The diminutive pink and white striped, starpetalled claytonia virginica. commonly called Spring Beauty, is an example of a corm. Growing in the same time period as bloodroot, it often grows in the same habitat, too: low-lying, moist, oak -leaf -rich wood’s edge. Virginia bluebells, dogtooth violets, trilliums, crested iris and wild ginger are all Virginia spring wildflowers available in “bulb” form. If you’ve observed these plants in the wild and noted their environments, you already have the information necessary to correctly place the flowers on your own property. If not, get some good wildflower books, visit native habitats this next spring and make notes of surrounding trees, leaf litter, soil, water features , rocks and nearby plants. This way you will learn the difference between acid and limestone soils, edge and deep woods, new and intermediate growth forests. You may not have a suitable Wooded site to give woodland plants a home. If you do have patience, you can start one by allowing a half-acre or more to revert to forest. Leave this spot unmowed and soon pioneer trees and shrubs such as sassafras, sumac, tulip poplar, white pine white oak , dogwoods and si ackberries should appear. ( O f course, pull out a i 1 a n - thus and Japanese honeysuckle.) in a tew years, you could introduce nicKories, reaDua, serviceberry and maples, or they and other trees and shrubs might appear. It will be ten years or so before you’ve enough shade to start planting the native perennials, but you could be lucky enough that they appear on their own! Don’t despair if you don’t have any woods or possibility of growing a woods. A couple of large, deciduous shade trees and /or shrubs will provide the habitat for a “mock” wildflower bulb planting. Flowers such as grape hyacinths, daffodils, and scilla will flourish happily. Although not native, they are not without their particular charms. Anywhere you find moss or violets growing under trees will indicate a likely spot for these bulbs. The English geranium tuberosum looks right at home under trees and shrubs, though slightly different than its native American cousin, geranium maculatum. The European anemone nemerosa may be substituted for the American anemone lancifolia. It is difficult to find the latter commercially, but both anemones enjoy leafy soil in deciduous shade. Lycoris squamigera, or “Naked Ladies” are often grown in full sun here, but I have planted mine under a large crabapple, where it looks quite convincing as a woodland imposter. Turk’s cap or martagon lily is an Alice in Wonderland creation, bearing as many as 50 pendulous blooms per 4’-6’ stem, and can be found in varying colors from cream to burgundy. Saving the best for last, cardiocrinum giganteum is the most spectacular woodland bulb I’ve seen. It can reach heights of 10’ and carries numerous fragrant and enormous (12”) white trumpets. Alas, there is a price to pay for such drama: each plant costs about $35 takes 2-3 years to bloom and only reproduces by offsets, as the mother bulb dies after blooming. I do suspect that it must be none other than the Queen of the fairies who lives in this Beauty!
