Rappahannock County High School Principal Joseph Perine tendered his resignation at a called School Board meeting on Friday evening. May o. .no reason 11 for the resignation was cited by School Superintendent Dr. David Gangel. hut he did say that discussions during a closed School Board session resulted in the resignation announcement. Mr. Perine was immediately placed on administrative leave, and will remain in that status until June 30 of this year. Dr. Gangel also said that Assistant Principal Mike Tupper assumed the principal duties as of May 6, on an acting basis, and that he will continue in that role through the end of the school year. He will be assisted on a consulting basis, Dr. Gangel said, by individuals in the school system who have secondary school administration experience. Supervisors shave School Budget by $176,232 By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer As the first action at their May meeting, the Board of Supervisors trimmed the School Board's proposed budget of $8,954,676 by $176,232. Before acting on the motion by Hampton District representative Bryant Lee to make the cut to the bottom line, School Superintendent Dr. David Gangel was subjected to intensive questioning on budget specifics including the cost of schools administration, the cost-benefit of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program, and the omission of a third (past expenditures) column from the budget's detailed expenditures section. Mr. Lee was joined by Stonewall-Hawthorne's Bob Anderson and Wakefield’s Roger Welch in questions pertaining to the value of the IB program for all students and in light of high school mathematics and social studies Standards of Learning test result deficiencies. Dr. Gangel's responses characterized the IB program as available and beneficial to all students, and a program that would raise academic standards throughout the school system. Farmers to meet at Miller’s farm The spring Rappahannock Farmers’ Association quarterly meeting will be held this year at Cliff Miller’s Mount Vernon Farm on Sunday, May 19 from 4 to 6 p.m. Mt. Vernon is one of the oldest farms in the County and Cliff Miller has been working hard to make sure that his farm remains viable and productive into the 21st Century. Mt. Vernon Farm is now a diversified agricultural enterprise that will remain an intact farm for generations to come. Mr. Miller will give a brief overview of how the focus of his farm has changed over the years and provide the group with an informative farm tour. Other items on the agenda include: nominations for new officers; 2002 dues; subcommittee reports; a report on the new regional agricultural development committee; and plans for the summer meeting. Plan to attend the spring meeting and share the fun with your fellow farmers and those interested in farming in Rappahannock County. Refreshments will be served. For directions and other information, call 937-6124. Supervisor Ron Frazier of the Jackson District related complaints that he has received about the high costs of administration in the school system, and he expressed his view that the system is "top heavy" and that more money has been spent over the years than is necessary. He referred too to morale problems and asked if all of the administration were necessary and if money "could be better spent in the classroom." Mr. Welch expressed his concern about morale as well, and said that he had received complaints from "teachers who never complain." Mr. Frazier moved to reduce the School Board's request by $176,232 by function, but there was no second to that motion and the Board acted upon Mr. Lee’s motion to reduce the budget by the same amount, but from the bottom line, giving the School Board the flexibility to adjust downward as they see fit. The action taken by the Board of Supervisors nearly eliminates the School Board s proposed increase of $209,943 in the County contribution, and should reduce the increase in the tax rate from three cents to one-half cent. Old Rag parking proposal Shenandoah National Park Superintendent Doug Morris and Park Ranger Clayton Jordan presented the Board of Supervisors with a proposed plan for a new parking lot and "contact station" at the Weakley Hollow access point to Old Rag, and they asked for the Boards support for the plan. Mr. Clayton explained that the existing 250 car leased parking lot on Route 600 was likely to be lost within the next month or two, and that the proposed plan would replace it with a new lot on an eight acre leased parcel. The new location would be more convenient to the Old Rag trail and would result in less traffic impact on Old Rag-area residents. The plan calls for the purchase of the parcel by the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club and its lease to the National Park Service. The parcel would house a 250 vehicle lot, a new link trail, and a visitor contact station. Funding for the improvements would come from the Federal Highway Administration's Public Lands Highways Discretionary Fund. With little discussion the Board unanimously approved a resolution supporting the project Other activities • The Board appointed Amy Timbers, Eddie Williams, Bill Ward, Donald Brown, and Bud ('order to the Reassessment Board, and announced that a training session is scheduled for May 20. • The Board okayed advertising of.a public hearing at next month's meeting on Chester Gap-Flint Hill voting district adjustments. • The Board reviewed the results of a VDoT conducted speed/ volume study on Main Street in Sperryville that indicated only minor violations of the twenty-five mph limit.

You Avon Hall loan a deal By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Wnter At a meeting of the Washington Town Council held on May 1. members voted unanimously to accept an offer of a loan from the Rappahannock National Bank (RNB) for the financing of the Town's new reservoir. The loan offered by RNB Executive Vice President and CEO Michael Leake is in the amount of $200,000 at an interest rate of 4.15 percent per annum for a term of five years. Council members discussed certain conditions imposed by the Bank, including a covenant that calls for the Town to enhance its deposit relationship with the Bank beyond currently existing levels'" and the Town's obligation to pay the costs of bank counsel and other related costs of closing." Mayor Willis suggested that the Town provide the Bank with a listing of the rates that the Town currently receives on its capital reserve fund investments as a first step in satisfying the "deposit relationship" covenant, and he suggested too that the Town sign the loan commitment letter with a notation that it wants closing costs limited to a maximum of $1500. Town Attorney John Bennett added that the closing cost estimate was $1500 when negotiations commenced with the RNB, and he said that he felt that it was "fair to proceed on that basis." Final action on the reservoir loan is dependent upon the RNB agreeing on that closing cost limit: Middleton Inn and the Zoning Ordinance The Town Council prepared to continue their work on the new zoning ordinance, but first discussed Mary Ann Kuhn's request to modify the ordinance to permit her Middleton Inn to expand its services. In a letter to Mayor Willis and the Town Council. Ms. Kuhn asked the ordinance be changed "in a way that would allow my bed and breakfast a wider range of uses." Specifically, she asked that the Middleton Inn be permitted additional uses including "catering events and weddings and providing hospitality services to the community and the public ..." At Ms. Kuhn's request, Town Zoning Administrator John McCarthy prepared a "straw man" of amendments to the zoning ordinance that would enable the Town Council to approve the new uses, should they so desire. These amendments consist the addition of "catering services (off-site)" as a new "by right" use; "Country Inn" as a new "special permit" use; and a definition of "Country Inn." Mayor Willis noted that the process of adopting such a change would involve a review by the Town Planning Commission and a public hearing, before approval by the Town Council, but he said that he felt that it was proper for the Council to discuss the proposed changes at this point. Council members seemed generally supportive of the additional uses, but agreed with Mayor Willis' suggestion that "catering services" be changed from a "by right" to a "special permit" use, and appeared to be uncomfortable with the likelihood that the "Country Inn" category, as defined, could lead to a proliferation of new restaurants. The Council agreed with Mr. Bennett's suggestion that he "take a crack at" redefining the proposed new category and reworking the "straw man" ordinance amendments, and he should have his suggestions available for discussion at the Town Council's regular May meeting on May 8. Clevenger’s Comer: Searching for water By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News Everybody is looking for water. Why? Because of development. In Culpeper County, the search for water is receiving renewed attention. The flood of development in Northern Virginia is swinging southwestward, away from newly minted slow-growth counties, such as Loudoun, and toward Fauquier, Culpeper, and Rappahannock $3502 Customer Cash or from 1.9% apr On Most New Chevy & Cadillac Models See me for your next new or used vehicle.

Culpeper’s plan is to cultivate growth in pre-designated Village Centers, such as Clevenger’s Corner, rather than have it scattered all over the landscape. These Village Centers must -have water. Clevenger’s Corner already has its groundwater study underway, courtesy of Centex Homes, Inc. Eight favorable groundwater development zones have been identified. Recharge is said to be adequate, and apparently, there is no contamination in the area. Last week, Culpeper County’s Board of Supervisors were briefed on the need for a groundwater study to specifically locate high-yield underground aquifers near its other Village Centers. Such groundwater resources, capable of producing 200 to 300 gallons of water per minute, will also need adequate recharge and protection against contamination. Culpeper County’s new groundwater study will likely begin with the Elkwood portion of the Brandy Station/Elkwood Village Center. Elkwood, nine miles north of the Town of Culpeper near Route 29, is the site of the Culpeper County Airport and an industrial park. To copper their bet on the search for water, Culpeper County may look into building a few reservoirs. A study provided to that county in March 2001 evaluated four reservoir sites. Of immediate interest, because of its low cost, is a potential 243-acre reservoir on Muddy Run, east of Route 229 and below Rixeyville, near the Emerald Hill Elementary School. Water for the reservoir would come from the Muddy Run watershed, with the Hazel River tapped if necessary. Two other potential reservoir sites are located near Clevenger’s Corner. One is west of Route 229, near the Rappahannock County border. It would make use of water pumped from the Hazel River, but the major inflow would be from the watershed of Indian Run. It would cover 461 acres (the Town of Culpeper makes use of Pelham Lake, a reser d SpaS §tore por a|] seaSons” Open Year Round Since 1973 62-C Waterloo Street, Warrenton, VA 540-347-2815 571-A James Madison, Culpeper, VA 540-825-5645 I voir covering 253 acres). The second reservoir site near Clevenger’s Corner is east of Route 229. near Route 623. Water pumped from the Rappahannock River would be held by a dam on Beaverdam Run. The search for water is underway in other counties as well. Last November, the Warren County Board of Supervisors approved a United States Geological Survey (USGS) groundwater study estimated at a cost close to $900,000 over a five-year period. The county is paying $90,000 this year, with the USGS contributing $47,500. Development in Warren County is about 200 homes a year, with some 160 of them being in rural areas and requiring groundwater. The study will better answer questions on the quantity of water available for use; well drawdown effects on groundwater levels and stream flows; and the quality of the water and its vulnerability to sources of contamination. Frederick County, further north in the Shenandoah Valley, began a similar fouryear study by USGS in October 2000. Some 150 sites are to be sampled for the same purposes as described above. Development in Frederick County is expected to involve 400 new water and sewer connections per year over the next five years. Luray, in Page County, has a small water problem. It plans to speed up the building of a 200,000-1,000,000 gallon elevated water tank at the west end, where water supply and water pressure are of concern. Incidentally, Luray provides a good comparison with Clevenger’s Corner. In the 2000 Census, Luray had a population of 4,871. The Clevenger’s Corner Village Plan, when fulfilled, expects a population of 4,100. Has Rappahannock County ever undertaken a groundwater study in connection with development? No. But, back in the late 1960s, the county was greatly interested in a surface water study related to impoundments, or reservoirs, in the western part of the county. Flood control, pollution control, and county development were cited as benefits. In April 1966, our Board of Supervisors was informed of the availability of funding from the Farmer’s Home Administration to carry out a water and sewerage disposal survey in the county. Over the next year, arrangements were made for the Soil Conservation Service, now called the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), to work with a private engineering and consulting firm on the water and sewer survey. But, in March 1967, the Shenandoah National Park became interested in establishing Wilderness Areas within the Park. One involved 6,270 acres on Jeremy’s Run, another involved 8,219 acres on the Thornton River. This led county officials to meet with Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr., and others in Congress to assure that the Park would not jeopardize any plans Rappahannock County had for water storage and flood control. In July 1967, our Board See WATER, Page A10

Youth plays fifth weekend By Nanette Hogan Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock Youth Soccer League played its fifth weekend of games, Saturday, May 4. U-8 The U-8 Blue Panthers traveled to Madison for the second weekend in a row. The Panther’s found themselves at a 3 -0 deficit until Maria Lee and Haley Hogan scored four goals to show some Panther pride. Once again, Madison and Rappahannock had good spirited fun and sportsmanship. U-10 The U-10 girls, Rapp Hurricanes, won 3-0, in a tougher than expected, physical match with Culpeper. Isabelle Eastham knocked in the first goal to give us a 1-0 lead at halftime. Sarah Hazel and Katherine Huang were great throughout the first half providing pressure up front and connecting on passes to teammates. Morgan Flournoy came out of goal in the second half to score twice and seal the victory. All the girls are doing a great job of spreading out and passing to the open person as they move the ball up the field. That teamwork is almost as exciting as the goal scoring. We’re starting to see some pretty footwork with the ball as well. Meredith Reeve did a wonderful job of maintaining possession in front of Culpeper’s goal though she was surrounded by defenders. ' Great work girls! In a hard-fought game against Orange 1, the U-10 Dragons came up just short of a win, losing 3-1; Zack Wayland provided Rapp’s lone . score., Christopher Jenkins and Johnny Pullen played aggressively on both sides of the ball, while tenacious foot,‘work by Dustin Milam and \ Samson Raby added additional excitement to a beautiful soccer Saturday. The U-10 Terminators played Culpeper 1 with an outstanding win for Rappahannock with ending score of 5-4. Goals were scored ‘ by Bennett Eastham ( 4 ) and Bryan Shafran (1). Brett Heddleston was our defensive star of the game. Congratulations Terminators! U-12 The U-12 “Purple People Eaters” played a friendly ’ match against Madison. The “ Rapp girls struggled offensive' ly, and Madison pressed the Purple People Eater defense - . . ... * .-I Photo courtesy of Nanette Hogan The U-12 Girls Team members Megan Wheatley, Emma Hathaway and Alicia Smith play against Madison May 4. early and often. An unfortunate “hand ball” in the penalty box gave Madison an early scoring chance with a penalty kick, but Rapp keeper Megan Wheatley came up with a big stop. Kylie Harlow and Maia Lucking provided strong midfield support for the “Purple People Eaters”, while defenders Alicia Smith and Emma Hathaway harassed the Madison strikers. Madison scored what turned out to be the only goal of the game on a slicing shot that slid along the goal line, just out of reach of the diving Rapp goalie, Megan Wheatley, and crossing the goal line just inside the post. On an absolutely beautiful Saturday morning in Rappahannock County (is there anything else?), the second half began with “Purple People Eater” Alicia Smith handling goalie duties. In her first time ever in goal, Alicia had five saves as Rapp defenders Emma Dodd-Henze and Jordan Lysaght kept Madison at bay. Late in the second half the Purple People Eater forwards Osha Kondori, Lily Day and Hannah Rosenbaum pushed the ball down the field several times, but were unable to generate any scoring opportunities. Next week the Rapp girls travel to Culpeper Comet Field. Good luck girls! On Saturday, May 4, the RSL U12 co-ed team played Culpeper team 9. It was a hard fought game with Rappahannock holding a 2-1 lead at halftime. After the break, however, the Culpeper team played much tougher and scored 3 unanswered goals. The Rapp, team had it’s chances to go ahead, but the game ended with the score 4-2 Culpeper. Liam Wallace cleared the ball out many times from his position at halfback, and Jake Rosenbaum stopped several hard shots on goal at fullback. Next week comes Culpeper team 8 to play at Rapp.’s home field; go Red Menace. U-14 The U-14 Hornets had a huge game Saturday away from the hive in Madison. It was a team they had played before, but the Madison team was not ready for the surprise the Hornets had for them. As noted by the opposing coach, “Wow! What a dangerous team these guys are.” Clearly, the Hornets were executing their game plan, Speed to the Ball! Possess and pass quicker than quick! Defensively, Tom Pendleton faced over 40 attempts on Goal. The Madison team was only successful 4 times, which is a 50 percent reduction from the prior game. Perhaps more impressive is the fact that the Hornets scored late in the second half on a team that rumor has it, had not been scored on yet this season! Wow! Carlos Flores took a one touch from Chasidy McGlothlin and broke through two Madison defenders, which bothered from behind all the way to the goal. The Shot was a strong looping to the left shot over the Keeper. The Hornets had over nine opportunities, that is real opportunities. The Hornets played once again with persistence from start to finish and dangerous they were because of their relentless desire to score! While the final outcome was a 4 - 1 loss, it is clear that each Hornet was willing to play hard and not leave any energy untapped. A great job by all! This Week in Sports By Jon Smyth k Athletic I)m*ctor As the second round of Bull Run District competition heats up, all the games begin to take on more importance. The boys’ varsity soccer team roared into contention again for the District title with a huge road win at George Mason last week. The girls’ soccer team continues to sputter and hasn’t been able to win the “Big Ones." Baseball lost momentum with a tough loss by the varsity at George Mason, but young Jason Jenkins pitched a fine game in the JV’s win at home Friday, May 3. The JV boys soccer team remained winless and the Junior Panther soccer team failed to win their first game after getting their third tie of the season. The softball teams remained “hot." as both the varsity and JV teams stood atop the district standings and remained undefeated with another two-win week apiece. The Jr. Panther softball team traveled to Marshall Middle School and captured their third win of the season. Meanwhile Coach Spieker’s track teams participated in two meets last week and began to point their ship toward the Bull Run District Track Meet to be run at Brentsville District High School's track on Wednesday.

Volunteer Recognition Day Many honored for years of service By Jan Make la Volunteer Coordinator Public School System Volunteer Recognition Day was held on April 25 at Rappahannock County Elementary School and was a huge success! We were happy to see so many volunteers in attendance. Many thanks to Delegate Allen Louderback for attending and delivering a resolution from the House of Delegates honoring the citi zens of Rappahannock for their incredible Volunteer Spirit. The RCES and RCHS Bands played under the direction of Mrs. Lynne Fournier. The RCHS Cheerleaders escorted the volunteers into the gym and led cheers to honor them. Student Advisory Council members joined cheerleaders in greeting volunteers and passing out programs and Olympic-style “medals” (designed by RCES Art students) to each of them. Students Rocky Pullen and J.R. Hawkins, and Laura Wheatley and Angela Bigelow designed the winning pieces. There is tremendous enthusiasm when it comes to thanking the .many volunteers in our school system and across our county. The services they provide to us are invaluable and we are extremely grateful.

As Nature expresses herself in myriad ways, so too do artists use paint, photography, sculpture, and other media to depict what Nature reveals to them personally. Come see this beautiful and stimulating show. The gallery is located on Middle Street in Washington and is open each Friday through Sunday between the hours of 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Call the gallery at (540) 6753440 for more information or visit our web site at www.middlestreetgallery.org.

The annual American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event is just a little over a week away and Rappahannock residents are getting excited. This year’s event will be held May 17 and 18 at the Rappahannock County Elementary School with ceremonies beginning around 7 p.m. If you have not signed up and would like to participate in some way - there are many teams. It shouldn't he difficult to find a team with someone you know participating. If previous plans prevent you from attending, consider the cause and the many survivors of cancer that live right here in Rappahannock as well as those that were not as fortunate and make a donation to a member of one of the teams. Research is the key to beating cancer and even though the many early detection programs now being used have improved cancer victim’s chances immensely there is still much that needs to be done. But, we all know that research takes money. Three years ago, Rappahannock branched out from the Fauquier and Culpeper groups. The end results were remarkable. The first year on our own, we raised $62,300; the second year $68,187 and last year $51,(100. Lets each do our part to make this year the best yet. If you would like to make a special donation or contribute in a special way contact Ben Atkins at 635-2377 or Bette Mahoney at 675-3446. Remember: the Relay for Life is a relay without a finish line .... until we find a cure for cancer. Mark your calendars for May 17 and 18 and plan to attend the Rappahannock Relay for Life lugm, one oi me most upmung, community oriented spirited events in our county. See you there! Rappahannock Today Photo courtesy of Linda Heimstra Pinaconda comes to Little Washington: On the afternoon of April 29, artist Jeanne Drevas, her creation "Pinaconda". and Hearthstone Schools Creative Community class led by Jessica Hasse and Amos Blanton converged on Washington, Va. for a photo shoot. Members of the class Lauren Herrman, Matt Powers, Dylan Weber, Gordon Branchaud. Jenni Scott. Adam Disbrow and Aaron Weisgerber lugged the forty foot long pine needle stuffed in bird netting snake, and draped it over John Kisers pink Cadillac, Mrs. Cox's Tavern railing, the jungle gym at the Rec Center, and finally on to the library where it now rests along the length of two stacks of books. This is the third in a series of pine needle- installations that Jeanne Drevas has done and this creation will travel on to the Washington D.C. area for monthly residencies at various locations. Letters Benefit dinner successful On behalf of the Mary Beth Williams Memorial Committee I want to thank Monira Rifaat for her generosity in hosting our annual fund raiser on April 28. The fund raiser was a great success. The Memorial Committee also wants to thank all of those who were in attendance and contributed to the schol arship fund. Your contributions are making a difference in the lives of the youth of Rappahannock County. They are also enhancing the prospects for the preservation of agriculture in this area. Douglas K. Baumgardner Washington Town extends sympathy On behalf of Sherron Proper's many friends the Town of Washington, I would like to extend our sympathy to her and her in family at the loss of their son and brother. Sherron has for many years been an important part of the Washington Community, working with many of the residents and becoming their friend. We grieve with the family and hope for their happiness in the future. Stewart Willis Mayor Town of Washington News of the hour I just heard the late news on the radio (it’s Saturday night right now). NPR, I’m pleased to report. (I try to keep up with the news. Grin.) Three stories caught my ear, and I sat write down to tell you about them. 1) Our President honored Ozzie Osbourne by inviting him to some gala event and then pointed him out to the crowd. My granddaughter told me that this person is the author of many songs like Black Sabbath— not high on the high school music teacher’s recommended listening list! The President of the United States waved and Ozzie threw him a kiss, if I remember what I heard rightly. This intrigues me: What is our President thinking?! His behavior on this occasion amused rather than bothered me, as it usually does. But I bet you an ounce of merkel (fresh-dried) it’ll bother some of my neighbors-especially some of them who voted for Mr. Bush, junior and/or senior. 2) This story concerned me more: Our neighbors down in the valley are experiencing some serious flooding right • now, due to too much of a good thing-spring rain. My heart goes out to them, remembering what damage floods have sometimes done here in our region. I also remember very well the Big Mountain Fire of 2001, and the brave firefighters and rescue personnel of our Volunteer Fire and Rescue Companies that we depend on in rural areas for our very lives. 3) But this here story concerned me even more: There are ominous reports of firebombs in rural areas in the mid-west where some of my family live. Firebombs in rural mailboxes. Now 1 didn't panic at this news; it'll probably turn out to be some teenagers with too little to occupy their time and attention. I say they ought to work the vegetable gardens like their Grand-daddies and - mommies worked the farm in their day. Then these kids wouldn't have time to get into so much trouble. (But then I remember some of the See NEWS, Page A9 See More Letters, Page A9 Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO May 10, 1962 The May Day Court at Sperryville Elementary School is: Vicky Dodson, Barbara Dodson, Donna Cannon, .Jim Groover, Beverly Atkins, Joan I^ee, Carolyn Tholand, Carol Deal, Linda Jenkins, Pat Foster, Bonnie North, John Moore.

More Letters News From Page A8 shenanigans we pulled when we were kids, and I shudder. Life is so much more complicated for our grandkids than it was for us.) Now on the other hand if this little scare turns to be more serious than an adolescent prank. I have a simple solution for every worried rural citizen in America. Do what I do: Go to the Post Office for your mail. That way, you don’t need a mailbox out on the gravel (or paved, if you aren't real rural) road. (You know the kids are just gonna knock 'em down next Halloween anyw ay.) Yes, maybe it’s inconvenient, and it wastes a little gas. But you can do your local shopping and go to the bank on the same trip to the Post Office. And vouf bound to run into a neighbor who will put a smile in your day. Be well, and have a good one today. Remember those in need. Sally J. Mosby Scrabble Kappanannock is a great place What a great pail of the universe this Rappahannock County, Virginia, U.S.A., earth is! When I first moved here I was thrilled to see deer and turkey on my pasture. Later, I was thrilled to see an occasional bear raiding my bird feeders. I still enjoy the many bird species which grace my trees and yard. All of the natural wonders of Rappahannock; the sunrises, sunsets, and starry nights, mists, rains, views of farms and forested mountains and clear streams continuously give me pleasure. But the people of Rappahannock-Wow! They are special. Always upright and helpful; the example I want to share with you happened the other day: I was driving on Route 211/522 when I spotted two men performing manual labor alongside the road. When I stopped to see what was going on. lo-and-hehold, I knew them - they were two of the most well-known and honorable citizens of Rappahannock! (I am withholding their names because I don’t believe they hire out for this kind of work, and I don’t want to cause them any embarrassment.) Performing manual labor in shirt and tie! And it was not court-required public service. Only in Rappahannock-Wow! What a great place this is. Tom Tepper Castleton Lions Club extends appreciation On behalf of the Rappahannock Lions Club I would like to thank the businesses and the community for their support in making our annual auction such a great success. This year's auction could not have been such a success if it had not been for the number of donations and contributions that were given to the Lions. Our motto is “We Serve”. The proceeds and profits from the event will allow the Lions to continue to "serve” Rappahannock County. The profits will support needy causes and projects that benefit our senior citizens, youth and community. Thanks again to all who made this fund raiser a success and a special thanks to Bill, Maury and Megan Payne for providing their time to auction off the donated items. Lastly, I would like to thank the Lions members that worked countless hours behind the scenes, and for their dedication towards representing the club in an exemplary manner. Your efforts do not go unnoticed in the community! Thank you!

Some of my neighbors up here in the hollow think the townspeople were foolish to let it happen. Buck Jenkins says they should have let the bank put in the extra parking and the drive-up window it wanted, even though no one seems to mind parking on the street and walking into that beautiful, stately old building. Truth be told, there's never a traffic jam in front of the bank, and lots of my neighbors like to stop in and chat with Evelyn and Jackie behind the counter. Well, that s progress for you! I guess the "powers that be" at headquarters decided that a bank without a drive-up window needs a more modern image. We only got this headache because that region Opinion al bank chain gobbled up our bank two years ago; at the time, we had one of the last independent banks in the whole Commonwealth. There's a rumor that the Post Office might move out to the mall too. Wouldn't that be something! What kind of village would it be without a bank or a Post Office? Why will people need go to town anymore except to get their county sticker or dog tags, or to attend public meetings like the Board of Supervisors or Planning Commission? Well, yes, there's the cafe and some nice shops., but they'll all lose local business and have to rely even more on the tourist trade. Future columns will address such burning ques tions as: Why can't local jurisdictions ban the use of toxic sludge on farmland? Why does VDOT want to make all our country roads look like suburban streets? Why do some of our new neighbors build houses that look as if they belong in Great Falls or Fairfax Estates? Why do a few people dominate our community email list? Why can't we bring back slow-pitch softball? Meanwhile, get out and enjoy this glorious spring weather. Take a walk, plant your vegetables, and thank your creator (assuming you believe in one; I don't mean to offend my agnostic and atheist neighbors) for blessing you with the opportunity to live in this little corner of heaven. iNote: If you want to reply , to S.J.

Budget From Page A1 at the request of Chairman Pete Estes who wanted that information before the Board acted on a request to increase fines for speed limit violations to $200 and, as a result of the study information,, the Board decided to take no action on the request. • County Administrator John McCarthy informed the Board that the currently active cell at the County landfill has a life expectancy of 3.8 years. He said that, since construction of a new cell would take about two years, it was not too early to start the planning process or to look at other options. He noted that the County cost, less landfill attendants, was $43 per ton, compared to current tipping fees of $35 in Culpeper and other jurisdictions, and he suggested investigating such out-of-County solutions to Rappahannock trash disposal. The Board agreed and Mr. McCarthy will further investigate options. • The Board unanimously agreed to contribute $3,000 to a $10,000 Headwaters-managed study on the State composite index for Rappahannock County. • The Board unanimously approved the reappointment of Raymond Brown to the Community Policy and Management Team, and appointed Misty Hitt and Joy Sloane to the Blue Ridge Committee on the Shenandoah National Park. , • At the evening session, the Board okayed the Hampton Stock Farm A/F District Tag-On and the Thornton River A/F District Renewal, the Special Exception permit for the conversion of the Skyline Motel to apartments but, at the request of Chairman Estes, withheld consideration of the Rappahannock National Bank's site plan until the final version has been, submitted and reviewed, and is ready for a County stamp. Water From Page 4 listened to the Soil Conservation Service and plans for prospective dam sites for flood control and water supply on Broad Run Hollow, the Hazel River, and tributaries of the Thornton and Covington Rivers. Later, in January 1968, a comprehensive plan for water and . sewer facilities in Rappahannock County was well received by our Planning Commission and passed on to the Board of Supervisors. It was an opportune time, as the r State Water Control Board was pressing the Supervisors to solve a pollution problem in the Thornton River at Sperryville. The problem dated back to 1954; it had been formally recognized by the Virginia Department of Health in 1964. In April 1968, the Board of Supervisors approved an ordinance for the creation of a Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority. Emphasis was immediately placed on creating a wastewater treatment facility at Sperryville to control the pollution problem in the Thornton River. It took 18 years to complete.

Three Roses to be performed By Sallie Morgan Special to the Rappahannock News On Saturday, May 11 at 8 p.m., at Rappahannock High School, you have an unique opportunity to see a local performance of Julie Portman's remarkable one woman play, Three Roses, which premiered here two years ago, has since been performed all over the country, and was recently broadcast on Public Television under the direction of Academy Award winner Paul Wagner. The May 11 performance of Three Roses is co-sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community and the Curriculum Enrichment Program which supports Rappahannock County schools. This compelling and inspiring play, set to a musical score composed and performed by Julie’s husband Paul Reisler, tells the true stories of three remarkable women, each of whom has survived unspeakable acts of violence, and each of whom has been able to transform her experience into forces of courage, healing and hope. At age 39, “sleeping princess” Carroll awakens one afternoon to find herself “a frozen window pane away” from her seemingly perfect life 66 ...it really feels as if the play is done now. I’ve never said that before. Julie Portman with a caring husband and young daughter. She traces a long-buried trauma to her father’s one time employer, who molested her when she was a young child. Thavet, a Cambodian woman of privilege, witnesses the horrors and genocide that attend the Khmer Rouge’s violent takeover of her country in 1970, and becomes keeper of the stories of a disappeared people. Rosie is a young Puerto Rican mother who must overcome an abusive husband, a terrible childhood secret, a weakened heart and the hopelessness in the Brooklyn slums. The power of Three Roses lies in the intimacy and immediacy of live theatre and the inspiration of these three women who learn to embrace P. Wilson participating in touring exhibition Patton Wilson was invited to participate in a landmark touring exhibition of contemporary painters working in the medium of egg tempera. The exhibit, titled, “Egg Tempera, An Enduring Tradition” was organized by independent curator, Diane Savino. Artists and paintings were selected for their contributions to the current resurgence of egg tempera as a viable medium of contemporary expression. Egg tempera is a painting medium believed to have originated during Greek civilization. It was used extensively during the Italian Renaissance in the 14th century. It was gradually replaced by oil paints in the 15th century. Egg tempera uses pigments, mostly earth pigments, ground in water then mixed with egg yolk as a binder. The paintings are characterized by a brilliant, luminous crispness and high color register. The exhibition began at the Moll Art Center at Anna Maria College in Worcester, Mass, and is currently at the Miami Dade Community College in Miami, Fla. In September the show will move to Mary Washington College Museum in Fredericksburg and conclude in November at the Wisteriahurst Museum in Holyoke, Mass. Patton Wilson, of Sperryville, is a realist painter who works in oils, egg tempera, watercolor, and casein. “Dog Day Afternoon” planned at Windsor Lodge on May 11 The second annual “Dog Day afternoon,” to benefit the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League (RAWL), will be held Saturday, May 11 at Windsor Lodge in Flint Hill from noon to 5 p.m. Back by popular demand, this sometimes serious, sometimes hilarious day of canine candor is not to be missed. A full day of family fun is designed to celebrate the beauty of dogs, whether in a dog/owner look-alike contest, or a demonstration of the search and rescue techniques of professional dogs. There are obstacle courses and agility tests; there’s a play zone for kids and dogs; there’s a just-for-fun I dog show and the ever-popular terrier races. Dog Day also provides a bake sale and catering bv Hog Wild Barbeque - to keep owners as energized as the dogs. “The first “Dog Day Afternoon" was great fun for dogs and children of all ages,” said RAWL President Sally Cunningham. “Dog Day was intended to be RAWL’s goodwill/ community spirit raiser, but it also provided an opportunity for matching up our great dogs w'ith great supporters. We also raised much needed funds for RAWL. We look forward to an even more successful day this year,” stated Ms. Cunningham. challenge, difficulties and suffering and give birth to compassion and insight that heals us all. Since Three Roses premiered here in Rappahannock County, not only have audiences all over the country been deeply affected by the women's stories, but the play itself has also undergone a transformation. “In fact." says local writer and performer Joyce Abell, “if you saw the premier, you haven’t seen this play. Those who were fortunate enough to see Three Roses in its infancy, now have the rare opportunity to come see how the work has grown and changed." In describing the change, Julie says that as she performed the play and felt the response of audiences, her own insight into her characters' experience developed, inevitably changing her characters' insight, and altering the focus of the entire work in a fundamental way. Julie sees a direct relationship between her work as a playwright and an actress and what she teaches in the Life Stories workshops she offers. “It's about w hat happens when one is able to share a story and when one truly listens to another’s story. Both the teller and the listener are changed by the experience." r Julie Portman Tickets are $13 in advance, $15 at the door and $5 for students (free with teacher pass for extra credit).

It can be a satisfying and rewarding project. Have you ever thought of your child's young soul as the most fertile soil? Luke 8:11 says, "The seed is the word of God." A mother has the rewarding opportunity to plant the seed of God's Word in her youngsters' heart and mind as she shows them kindness and prayer, and reads aloud stories of God's love. A mother also has the opportunity to attend regular worship with her children so that seed will continue to mature as the child grows. Worship with your family on this Mother's Day. Plant a seed. Reach a child. Watch him or her grow.

Jerky J. Pokorsky Special to the Rappahannock News “Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?" Most people would not associate Groucho Marx with the sublime mystery of the Ascension. But these words highlight the necessity of belief in everyday life. The knowledge that is obtained by believing others is not only efficient, but essential. How can we live without a readiness to believe or trust people? The Lord commands us to “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations....” But what are we to proclaim? What do we believe in matters of religion? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Did Jesus really ascend into heaven?

That authority must be put to the test. A person who intends to purchase an authoritative book at a local bookstore is well-advised to examine the footnotes before making a purchase. Footnotes reveal a good deal of the extent of the author’s research and the sources he relies upon to draw his conclusions. A medical book on treating heart disease that extensively cites voodoo witchcraft in the footnotes may be suspect to the discerning reader. We live in troubled times when people question the very authority of the Church. Can we rely on the Church to accurately hand on these truths? How does a Christian know what to accept as true? The Church cherishes sacred Scripture as a means of God’s self-revelation. Yet Sacred Scripture itself was born from the early Catholic Church. By the authority of the Church, some writings — such as the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John — were declared normative or “canonical.” The 'JIM MCKAY USED CAR DEPARTMENT Year Model Stock* NOW 96VofcmgonPistit,4Dr $13,900 00 Votkswagon GTI, 2 Dr $15,900 99 Chrysler 300M. 4 Or $18,900 97 Lincoln Town Car, $12,900 99 GMC Sierra Ext Cab . $19,900 99 Chevy Suburbin IS, AWD $20,900 99 Ford Escort 4 0,34K $0,599 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 4x4 $7,995 98 Chrysler Concorde, Loaded $11,900 95 Buick Segal, Loaded $5,770 97 Plymouth Breen $5,770 97 Chevy Monte Carlo 234,58K I1158A $10,990 97 Pontiac Grand Prtx, PAW, P/L, 67K 41324A $10,490 98 Honda Accord, V6.

But Scripture cannot stand alone. It was the authority of the Church that bound the manuscripts of Scriptures together into one fine volume. Because the Bible was born from the Church, the Church continues to be God’s authorized guardian. So the Catholic Church deals in footnotes as well. When interpreting Scripture, the believing Catholic asks the question, “What has the Church always taught on this matter?” In other words, a thoughtful believing Catholic is willing to check the footnotes of Church teaching. An extensive exposition of Catholic teaching can be found in the updated “Catechism of the Catholic Church.” As a contemporary document, and in view of the crisis of authority in the world as well as in the Church, is this Catechism reliable? Who are we to believe? What do the footnotes reveal? In times of crisis and uncertainty, the footnotes to the “Catechism of the Catholic Church” provide a marvelous consolation. The footnotes do not cite the wisdom of Ann Landers, Dear Abbey, dissident theologians or Hallmark greeting cards. The footnotes cite the teachings and wisdom of the Church throughout the ages: the teachings of ecumenical councils; the sayings of saints; the theology of the early Fathers; and above all, Sacred Scripture itself. And there is constancy and agreement! The Catholic faith is not merely a “religion of the Book.” It is foremost a “religion of the Word,” the living Word of Jesus Christ. Catholics encounter the living Word of God in the celebration of Mass: during the Readings and, most especially, during the reception of Holy Communion. What are we to believe on the authority of the Church? Jesus Christ is risen! He has conquered sin, suffering and death! He has ascended into heaven and now reigns in glory in union with the Father and the Holy Spirit. And when we receive holy Communion at Mass, in union with Christ, we have the certainty of that same Christ pleading our poor case at the right hand of the Father. If you don’t believe me, believe your own eyes. Check the footnotes. Father Pokorsky is the priest assigned to St. Peter 's Catholic Church in Washington. Imported cars aren’t foreign to us. 30..

Ethel Tyner’s passage marks end of era By Maun Jennings i Special to the Rappahannock Nt»ws They could have had running water when they moved to the two-story green house in Sperryville in 1975. All they needed was plumbing for the porcelain fixtures — the tub, sink and toilet — that sat unconnected in the bathroom. But Miss Ethel Tyner and her sister, Nellie Atkins, had lived seven decades without plumbing and didn't see a need to change. So, ever resourceful and loath to waste, they put the empty sink and tub to a different use: as a storage space for canned goods. The two sisters lived together in Rappahannock for nearly a century, first on their family’s mountaintop farm in Old Hollow and then in their ■ Sperryville home. Miss Nellie died in 1996 and after her funeral, after friends and family had departed, the lefl-overs were put away and the dishes washed. Miss Ethel walked slowly, haltingly up the stairs to her room. It was the first night in her life she had ever spent alone. She was 99 years old. When she died last week in Palmyra, Va. at the age of 105, an era of Rappahannock history > ’ passed away w ith Ethel Tyner. • She was among the last remaining subsistence farmers of the ' county, a woman who spent the - better part of her life living off ' - the land, isolated from the world - at large. She remembered her grandfather telling stories ■ about the battles in which he’d fought - in the Civil war. - If the occasional traveler hadn’t brought word of the 1 Great Depression that was . crushing the nation in the j 1930’s, she said they might never have known it occurred. Ethel was one of seven >“ Atkins children bom in a log • house on the family farm in the shadow of Oven Tbp and she grew up using skills that, while - commonplace in Old Hollow 80 1 years ago, are almost extinct today. They churned butter and poured it into circular wooden molds decorated with flowers or -' pastoral scenes. ’v Long before the days of • ' nutritional labeling, cholesterol 1 counting and low fat diets, that pale disk of pure butter sat on a > plate at the table, an essential part of every meal. So was the apple butter they ‘ simmered in massive kettles and stirred for hours. In an oral . history that Miss Nellie and Miss Ethel recorded in 1995, they reminisced that as children in what was then considered part of Appalachia, they learned to turn even hot, tedious jobs like stirring the apple butter, into a game. They’d sing a jingle as they stirred, trying to avoid tapping the edge of the dasher against the kettle. Whoever slipped and tapped the kettle had to reveal a secret. Miss Ethel, Nellie and their brother Charlie, who died in ! 1975, spent their entire lives engaged in hard, physical labor. Long into their 60’s, when most other people are retiring or at least slowing down, they milked cows, carried water from the spring, turned over and planted the garden by hand, butchered pigs, canned vegetables, sausage and jam, dried apples and picked mushrooms. Mr. Charlie worked wood using handmade materials and techniques so old-fashioned that when he died the Smithsonian bought most of the tools in his cooper shop. Miss Ethel and Miss Nellie baked bread daily in a roaring kitchen wood stove, even on summer days when the temperature approached 100. They made sunbonnets with calico remnants and cardboard slats cut from cereal boxes. And they wore dresses, straight, calflength shifts that they stitched together on a treadle sewing machine. Ill i/UUU jtiouic unit, aiw;i the supper dishes were done and the chickens were shut in the coop, they visited. As a child, drinking ice tea on their porch swing, I’d listen to the grownups talk, or visit, as they called it. Often they’d tell stories about times and people long gone, stories that spoke to their belief in the absolutes of goodness and evil, right and wrong. I remember once hearing Miss Ethel talk about a neighbor boy who, during The War (as in World War I), stayed home while all the other l)oys, including her brother Charlie, went off to fight. “I reckon he was yellah,” she said and nodded approving ly as she explained that he was shunned by the community for se\ erai >ears over this breach of duty. Ethel Tyner split her own wood, made apple butter and lived without plumbing until the age of 100 when she moved to Palmyra to live with her son and daughter-in-law. Before her sister Nellie died, the two women maintained a loving but combative relationship for nearly a century, arguing in their late 90’s about who’s cooking Papa liked better. She had a bottomless capacity for hard work. And though she was a woman of the most modest means who thought of Wonder Bread as a luxury purchase, she never considered herself poor But perhaps most remarkable was that in spite of 105 years of hardship, loss and plain old every day living, she remained both sweet and innocent, even girlish. Her simple belief in kindness, modesty and gratitude withst<x>d two World Wars, the Depression, over a dozen presidents, the Vietnam War, the unrest of the 60's and. closer to home, creation of the Shenandoah National Park and the demise of the mountain life her forefathers had known. Those values are tenderly evident in the poetry she wrote intermittently throughout her life and in particular, in the following poem. The Thorn. I stood in earnest prayer to God Before His royal throne And begged him for one priceless gift For me to call my ou n. I took the gift from out his hand But as l would depart / cried but Lord, this is a thorn And it has pierced my heart! This is a strange and hurtful gift Which thou has given me He said I love to give grx>d gifts I gave the best to thee. I went home and thought at first The cruel thorn hurt sore. But long years passed and 1 grew at last To love its blessing more. I learned he never gives a thorn Without his added grace. He takes the thorn to pin aside The veil which hides his face. {JniljuiLncj ^UflOUCjflti by Randy Minter PLOTTING THE FUTURE One very important consideration when pre-planning a funeral is where the remains will he buried, entombed, or scattered. In the short time between the death and burial of a loved one, many family members find themselves rushing to purchase a cemetery plot or grave. That is why it is in the family's best interest to purchase plots before they are needed. When doing so, consider the location of the cemetery and what type of monuments or memorials it allows. Bear in mind that all veterans are entitled to free burial in a national cemetery and a grave marker, as are their spouses and dependent children. Prearrangements can offer you more freedom in determining what kind of funeral you want, what kind of headstone you prefer, and can also offer financial security for your family At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we know that making your wishes known in advance is a gift to your family. Please contact us for more information on how to preplan a funeral.

Produced by family businesses living in Katmandu across the Tibetan border in Nepal, these rugs are woven to the most exacting traditional specifications using only the finest Tibetan fleece. They are all hand carded, hand spun, and dyed using a wide range of both indigenous natural and Swiss dyes. The weaving is conducted under close supervision to create perhaps the finest quality Tibetan rugs ever made. A wide variety of styles, weaves and colors are available, at the Ballard Gallery, from traditional to modern designs. Historically these carpets were woven by the Tibetan people who lived in a area which now includes the autonomous region of Tibet, and parts of Bhutan, Ladhak, and Nepal. They traditionally led a seminomadic life, following their herds into the highlands during the summer months, and traveling great distances to trade. With the exception of special monastery or ritual rugs, Tibetan Rugs were small so as to be portable, measuring about 3’ x 6’ and were used as sleeping mats or door hangings. Smaller square carpets were used as saddle pads or as meditation^ mats. Mats were also used in association with Buddhist* monasteries as throne covers for the Lamas. The imagery used came from the Chinese culture as well as indigenous Buddhist iconography. The weaving tradition goes back 2000 years in Tibet. Synthetic dyes were introduced into the Tibetan region in the early part of the 20th century. Natural dyes were from plants, insects and minerals that had been used exclusively. The wool used in Tibetan TIBETAN RUG: Hand knotted with hand carded Tibetan wool rugs are on display at Ballard Fine Art and Rugs in the town of Washington. carpets is from the fleece of sheep, which herdsmen seasonally grazed at elevations over 10,000 feet. The high mountain climate and the genetic character of the sheep population creates a wool that is unique in it’s luster, fiber width, and lanolin. This is one of the prime reasons that Tibetan carpets have the beautiful quality for which they are famous. Each step in the creation of a rug, the preparation of the dyes, the carding and hand spinning of the wool, the hand knotting, the washing and finishing of the final product is very labor intensive. Traditionally not less than 1,000 hours of labor goes into the completion of a 3’ x 6’ carpet. Ballard Fine Art and Rugs is open Thursday through Monday from 10 u.m. to 6 p.m. and carries an eclectic mix of rugs from every rug making region in the world. The gallery also displays a wide range of fine art from the 16th century to the present including a number of local and regional artists. The gallery is located at 307 Main Street and the phone number is 675-1411. Viewtown social notes Miss Carolyn Dodson of Maryland was the weekend guest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dodson.

Landscape show features work of 35 individuals By Diana Bird Special to the Rappahannock News The open invitation to area artists to submit works for a juried show of Virginia Landscapes at the Middle Street Gallery drew responses from at least 35 amateur and professional workers. Several fine entries are photographs, one is a ceramic work, and others are examples of various graphic media. A few are largely abstract, but even those, with one exception, are recognizable scenes. One especially lucid water cr r and pastel picture is r. email one by Lois Manookian titled "Red Oak Winter”. In the foreground an arching red shrub grows before bare tree trunks casting shadows beside a path or road. There is abundant life in this work of perfectly handled paint and pencil. Emily Kenner's “Very Early Spring" is a mixed media of oil and pastel. A blue and green foreground sets off a bright pink flowering orchard backed by blue, orange and lavender mountains and a blue sky. Kenner's work verges on the abstract but in this case a distinct landscape is conjured up in a delightful way. Steven Kenny’s “Candle Feet” is a night scene, oil on panel, with a beautiful handmade gold and black frame. The title indicates that he is showing a silhouette of Menefee Mountain’s fringe of trees in front of a yellow sky at the horizon, which is the light made by suburban sprawl that tends to dim the star-filled heavens. His statement seems to be a protest, but the effect is attractive. Tina Piemilia submitted a small picture called “On My Way” made of dye and silk. In subdued colors that recall an oriental mini-malist painting, we are treated to an almost featureless rolling land through which a path runs. The seeming simplicity of this work attracts attention. Walter Day has painted a striking water color of an old barn and plants growing at the edge of a pond. He calls it “Reflections”. At first glance this could be mistaken for an oil painting, owing to its details. He has made it for a grandchild of her other grandfather’s place. The reflections in the pond make the picture a particularly Big changes underway for the CMR Farm Fair Bv Kei.i.y Bailey Special to the Rappahannock News Mark your calendars for this year s Culpeper-MadisonRappahannock Farm Fair Tuesday, July 9 through Sunday, July 14 at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises! Besides moving the Fair date two weeks forward, there will be many changes in the schedule of events to boot! For months 4-H and FFA members have been attending meeting/classes in preparation for their 2002 Fair Project. Many livestock members have picked out their animals, or will be getting them in the near future. But, if you thought the C-M-R Farm Fair was only about horses, cows, sheep, pigs, goats, and chickens, think again. While the majority of 4-H and FFA members exhibit livestock, there are many other clubs such as: gardening, sports, community service, etc. We are planning to have many of these other clubs on hand for demonstrations this year, as well as farmers, businesses, crafters, clubs, and other organizations from the tri-county al-ea. New activities for this year will include: llama demonstrations, petting zoo, commercial displays, Share the Fun presentations, crafters, Smokey Bear visit, commercial vendors, pickin’ party, 100th anniversary party for 4-H, games, gardening demonstrations, Civil War reenactment, horse shoe throwing contest, super farmer contest, woodsman contest, local fire and rescue departments, face painting, barbecue and country ham dinners, round robin animal show, skydiving demonstration, farm tours, and a horse and mule pull and jumping contest to name a few. Returning favorites are as follows: open pet shows, Little Miss and Mr. C-M-R Farm Fair contests, livestock shows, animal costume classes, and a country auction! Did you know our Homemaker's Building has numerous classes open to the public? Baked goods, garden vegetables, farm crops, woodworking, photos, flowers, and sewing are only a few classes that you can enter. Check with your the Rappahannock Extension Office for entry information, 675-3619. Along with these wonderful activities comes the need for great food! We are seeking clubs, churches or civic groups interested in being food vendors during our Fair. Also, we are encouraging any interested volunteers or alumni to be a part of this worthy cause by pledging time or talents to make our Fair a success! Call Kelly at 825-3335 for more information.

Mary O'Meara's “Untitled (Dogwoods and Redbud)” photograph is a scene of composed. branching, flowering woods with a few green leaves and. far down below, a blue pond - the work of a searching and insightful photographer. A large oil on canvas of dark mountains, trees and water, painted by Kim Abraham, suggests a clearing storm. An enormous black and gray cloud in moving toward the viewer as if coming off the canvas, while light is beginning to show on the mountain tops. This picture presents a dark and problematic scene that suggests a symbolic intent on the artist’s part. Ralph Weber’s “Untitled # 2”, a small, colored pencil and white out drawing, is a charmingly composed view of a road side where a simple house, barn and fence stand before fields and a hill. There is enough white to make one surmise a winter scene. It is a shame not to comment on more of the pictures in this absorbing show that I have visited three times and want to see again. Many of the pictures are larger than the ones I’ve picked out and seem especially appropriate for a spring collection. Visitors will be surprised to discover the breadth and depth of the talent brought by artists from surrounding areas into the two rooms of our cooperative gallery.
