Reinhardt Lynch is voted vice mayor 232 By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer The Washington Tbwn Council unanimously voted council member Reinhardt Lynch as vice mayor at its meeting last week. Mr. Lynch, who is co-owner of the Inn at Little Washington, spoke briefly and graciously to the council saving that he “served for fourteen years on the council and (I) have never been considered.” He said that he was grateful for the council’s action. Earlier, Mayor Stew Willis had asked the council for nominations for the vice mayor position that was held by former council member Steve Critzer. Mayor Willis said that Mr. Critzer was “an important individual” to the town and that he looked for someone with similar abilities. Council member Claudia Mitchell nominated Mr. Lynch. ine nomination was seconded by Gene Leggett who was appointed by the Circuit Court to fill the seat left vacant by Mr. Critizer. Major Willis said that he was “not objecting to Reinhardt” and clarified that, if he himself were away, a vice mayor would need to be available at any hour to respond to the needs of town residents. Mayor Willis then nominated Jeff Benson, but that nomination was not seconded. Speaking during the public forum later in the meeting, town resident Ray Gooch said that a second did not necessarily mean that the nominator would vote for the candidate, but that it would have been good form if Mr. Benson’s nomination had been seconded. Wastewater treatment system developments Mayor Willis referred to last month's request that he hold up finalization of the draft preliminary engineering report by Resources International until this month. He asked if he might now pursue that finalization. Mr. Leggett asked if Resources International had responded to his request, made during the Avon Hall property walk-through last week, that they provide contacts at treatment plants of similar size to that contemplated by the town. The mayor said that Resources International had not, but that he would follow’-up on the request. Mr. Goebel then asked about the “legality of limiting the (capacity of the) system” and Town Attorney John Bennett responded by suggesting that any limitation may be legal if the town develops and enacts a wastewater collection and treatment ordinance in which the allocation of wastewater treatment system resources are prioritized. idefence tu a iioii-expanuable system” drew the attention of Mr. Lynch who asked if the council had ever “made a decision to have a non-expandable system.” Mr. Bennett explained that the proposed system is not non-expandable per se, but is like a drainfield Mayor Willis said that no one said that the system was nonexpandable, but that the “target was 30,000 gallons per day (capacity).” That target was based upon 10,000 gallons per day, he said, to solve existing drainfield problems, another 10,000 gallons per day for the Inn at Little Washington and other restaurants, and the remainder for other existing users. See COUNCIL, Page A2 County consumers are targets of phone scams By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News Writer There are about as many phone scams going around now as there are ornaments on a Christmas tree. One of them came to the attention of Rappahannock County Sheriff Larry Sherertz last week when his office received a phone call from a concerned homeowner in the Chester Gap area whose wife had received a suspicious phone call after dinner. An unknown person called her and said he wanted to upgrade the files on her magazine subscription, recalled the sheriff. The caller said he was in the security files section and needed to confirm certain information. The caller said he wanted to verify the woman’s name, date of birth and credit card number. “The caller also said he wanted her mother’s name,” said Sheriff Sherertz."They are getting very brazen now.” The woman hung up on the caller because she hadn’t ordered any maga zine subscriptions. “The phone rang a few moments later and it was the same person calling to verify her magazine subscription,” said the sheriff. The woman told the caller again she hadn’t ordered any subscriptions. “I think they were fishing for a credit card number,” said the sheriff. Holidays trigger calls “This is the time of year a lot of this goes on,” said the sheriff. During the holidays, consumers are using credit cards more over the phone to charge gifts, he said. This is not the first time the sheriff has received a call from a homeowner complaining of a telephone con artist. Several weeks ago, scam artists “were at prey again” here, recalled the sheriff. This time, the victims were a couple • from Castleton who received a call from someone identifying themselves as working in “telemarketing security.” “The caller needed to get the cou Woodville man charged in “big” drug bust on farm By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News Writer In what Special Agent Gary Settle of the Virginia State Police describes today as a “fairly big” drug bust in Rappahannock County, law enforcement officials executed a search warrant recently in an apartment of a bam on a Woodville farm. It is a significant amount for one person to be distributing within Rappahannock County,” said Agent Settle, who is in the Bureau of Criminal Investigations of the state police. Police have charged Robert “Bobby” Risk, of 4923 Sperryville Pike, with three charges, according to Agent Settle. The charges, he said, are manufacture, sale and distribution of a Schedule 1 narcotic called psilocybin (known on the street as “mushrooms”) as well as manufacture, sale and distribution of marijuana. The third charge is possession of firearms while in the possession of a Schedule 1 narcotic. According to the inventory of what was seized, police found two baggies of psilocybin or “mushrooms”, including one in the refrigerator. They also found two large baggies of marijuana when they executed the search warrant around noon on Dec. 9 at Windy Hill Farm. The firearms listed in the inventory were a .22 cal. Remington model 510 Tatget Master rifle, a .22 cal. Remington model 572 Fieldmaster and a 12 gauge New England firearms model Pardner. Other items seized included a set of scales, two smoking devices, a duffle bag, “a spoon with white residue,” portable hand scales, a pill bottle “with unknown pills”, and a plastic baggie with a razor blade, straw and plastic vial. “When the search warrant was executed, he was cooperative,” said Agent Settle. While charges have been filed, Agent Settle said that Mr. Risk had not actually been arrested, at this paper’s deadline. Agent Settle said that the drug seizure was “fairly big” because of “the amount we found, especially with the “mushrooms,” and the amount and quality of the marijuana. Speaking of “mushrooms,” Agent Settle said, “It is a very expensive drug and a very expensive habit.” The investigation is continuing, said Agent Settle, who has been working on it for the last few months. pie’s bank account number and this set up a red flag,” recalled the sheriff'. The couple from Castleton “were astute enough” to ask for the the caller’s name and call back number. Sheriff Sherertz said he wants to warn people not to give out any personal information about themselves such as their date of birth, social security number, bank account information and credit card numbers over the telephone. “And any person who refuses to give a name or call back number is highly suspect,” said the sheriff. The scams which have been played on residents of Rappahannock County are typical of scams occurring throughout the state. Stuart Ashby, who for 27 years has investigated phone scams in Virginia, and now is manager of the state unit which counsels victims and also oversees the office, gives this advice: “There is no free lunch. If it sounds too good, probably it is. No legitimate operation or bank is going to ask you for your credit card number when they call you,” said Mr. Ashby, who is manager of Counseling, Intake and Referral for the Office of Consumer Affairs of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The fear factor Mr. Ashby said that there are “hundreds” of phone scams going around that “work on two factors: fear and euphoria.” For example, someone calls up and says they are calling from a bank or credit card security office.“They say, ‘We understand your card is being charged.' They want you to think you are the victim of a rampant crime and the only way to stop it, is for you to give your credit card number.” With the euphoria factor, con artiste say, “Congratulations you have won a car. To confirm this, we need your credit card number.”’ With this information a telephone scam artist can withdraw money from a person’s account, he said, or use the credit card itself. Scam artists usually sound believable, he said. His office urges consumers to refuse to divulge or confirm any financial information and to “hang up" on telephone scam calls. “The longer the call continues, the greater the chance that the scam artist will convince the consumer to reveal credit card or other financial details,” he said.

Mr Lynch then asked if Ms. Mitchell’s original ques tion was, “If we’re at 30,000 gallons per day (use' and there's a vacant lot, can we legally say they can’t build0" Mayor Willis explained that the town could designate specific service areas.

From the audience, Charlie Kevis asked where the wastewater would go if the Middleton Inn expansion proposal goes through. Ms. Mitchell said that she had already asked the question. but “just didn't put a name to it." She told Mr. Kevis that the Middleton Inn proposal already had been withdrawn and that the council was discussing the needs of everyone, not any one business or individual Council members and residents then discussed the limitations of the proposed system and possible implications. Mr. Gooch asked if the mayor “was limiting growth by limiting the size of the system." Mayor Willis responded that the Rural Development Authority (the prospective grantor* would determine system size and funding by the number of existing homes and businesses, “but that doesn't limit future growth of the system." he added. The council went on to discuss Resource International's recent suggestion for consideration of a newly available low-pressure drip distribution system that would increase peak capacity to some 42.000 gallons per day. The council resolved to have Mayor Willis obtain additional information on modified system costs as well as the names of similar system users. The council will discuss finalization of the draft preliminary engineering report at a later meeting.

Co-op idea for retailers in Sperryville progressing By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer Angela Albrecht’s efforts to capture the old Sperryville sehoolhouse for use bv local retailers continue, and a meeting of interested parties on Dec. 1 / added more prospects to the mix. Ms. Albrecht hosted the meeting as a follow-up to an initial meeting held in late October where more than a dozen people expressed an interest in participating in some form of cooperative retailing venture in the building which most recently housed the Faith Mountain Company. Fewer people attended the December meeting, but Ms. Albrecht said that she is continuing discussions with some of the original attendees by telephone and that the co-op idea is progressing. The concept is for local business people to form an association that would lease the retail space from owner Cliff Miller and bear collective responsibility for utilities and common space maintenance. Jones receives award Marshall Jones Marshall Jones, a Rappahannock County resident, recently was selected by President Bush to receive a Presidential Rank Award for his accomplishments. Mr. Jones, deputy director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, received the annual award, which is given to a select number of career senior executives, to recognize his “exceptional service” during his 29 years with the government. When the administration changed in January 2001, Mr. Jones led the 8,000-employee Fish and Wildlife Service for more than a year while Steve Williams of Kansas was awaiting confirmation as the agency’s new director. Marshall Jones set the standard for cjvil servants who are thrust into the political arena as acting directors, knowing that the job is temporary and that they \yould return to their old jobs in a matter of time,” said Mr. Williams. “His diligence,* foresight and extremely conscientious management went a long way to making my transition relatively easy. He is an enormous credit to this agency.” Mr. Jones lives with his wife, Cornelia Clay Fulghum, a writer, in Washington, Va. Rents, Ms. Albrecht suggested, would be paid directly to the owner by each participant in the cooperative. She established a tentative fee of $1,000 per month for each of the smaller rooms and $4,000 per month for the former cafeteria space. Mr. Miller was not at the December meeting and earlier said that he is not sponsoring Ms. Albrecht, but would give consideration to any proposal that would be of benefit to Sperryville and Rappahannock County. Ms. Albrecht's approach is to do just that—to give local residents an opportunity to share in the use of one of the county's premier retail spots. So far, interest has been expressed for retail uses that include the following: a crafts shop, photographic services and supplies, sale of percussion instruments, music CDs and natural fiber clothing, a weekend outdoor farmer’s market, a consignment shop, food sales, a florist, performance space for local performers and musicians, space for a visitors’ center, a bakeiy, a new furniture and collectables store, a bookinusic/video store, a hair/nail salon, and a business center. Ms. Albrecht said that she would soon speak to Mr. Miller about lease terms and conditions. She expects to host another meeting in January for those interested.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.timescommunity.com THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 2002 Our View Thin gray line It was not a serious accident, a single-vehicle crash west of Sperryville. Two rescue companies and two Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office personnel quickly arrived on the scene. But a Virginia State Trooper had to be sent to investigate, and the closest one was in Warrenton. The trooper normally on duty in Rappahannock was assisting in a major drug bust elsewhere. The VSP force here is stretched to the absolute limit. Very few people are aware of the fact, but in 1977, there were 20 troopers assigned to Rappahannock and Fauquier counties; today, there are only 11. While Gov. Mark Warner has vowed to spare public salety agencies rrom tne budget-cutting axe, tne vbf was already in trouble due to an earlier reduction in force and an out-of-date pay scale. Dedicated to serve and too proud to complain, they are staying on as long as they can, until yielding to family pressures or burn-out. The attrition rate is terrible. The Virginia General Assembly must address this situation, both from the human costs and the money lost that is spent on training. One problem is that troopers are required to live in the county where they are assigned. Here and in Fauquier, their pay scale is not in line with the cost of living, especially housing costs. As private citizens, we can show our support of these underpaid men and women when they come into our community by giving them a break on housing. It’s the least we can do. r Letters to the editor The Rappahannock News welcomes Letters to the Editor from its readers as a forum for discussion of local public affairs subjects.

Letters Reader seeks others to protest assessments with her I have just received my real estate tax assessment from the Rappahannock County Reassessment Office. My assessment has increased 33%. Other property owners in the area had reassessments increase up to 55%. Had there been a dramat ic improvement in my property, I might understand the high increase. Had there been a dramatic increase in county services, I might understand the high increase. Neither has occurred. I would be happy to join and support an organization which will demand justification for such an unwarranted increase in property values. Please notify me of such an organization so that I might lend my support. I marched in Washington, D.C., against Disney and we won. I am not afraid to march, or write, or demon strate, again. In the meantime, I must seriously consider putting my property on the market so that Lean realize the tremendous profit that the county feels my property will bring. Carolyn K. Elgin Sperryville RCES Reading Specialist praised At the December meeting of the Rappahannock County Elementary School Parent Tteacher Organization, I was directed by parents and teachers to write the Rappahannock News to let you know we had “caught” someone doing something right. I want to express the PTO’s thanks to Raye Tupper, principal of RCES, for the efforts of Barbara Wheatley, Reading Specialist, and for her leadership in implementing recent additions to the RCES reading program. Mrs. Wheatley (who was not in attendance), along with Mrs. Tupper and the rest of the RCES team have implemented an excellent reading program enhancement with Accelerated Reader and Star Reader. As you know, the program involves not just a couple of pieces of computer software, but a cooperative effort by Mrs. Wheatley, the library and teachers. Purchases for the program, about $10,000 worth, were sponsored by all the “usual suspects,” that is, by the school plus the sources that often provide support for the school system: Headwaters, PTO, Curriculum Enrichment and private donors. The school district also made the program possible with Mrs. Wheatley’s position as reading resource specialist. * The results are beginning to come back to us and what we are hearing is uniformly positive. Teachers feel they are enhancing performance of students at all reading levels, not just advanced students. The tests ensure that students are reading and understanding their books because of the depth and detail of the questions. At the same time, there is a very wide selection of books to choose from. Advanced students are pleased with the challenge and recognition offered by the program, plus the guidance in selecting and suggesting books in their range. In short, Mrs. Wheatley and the new program are helping RCES students reach a new level of reading excellence. We are excited to think of the lifelong impact of such a program on nearly all the students. After all, the children are what it is all about. Hats off to Mrs. Wheatley and the RCES team. Your caring and professionalism are racking up a big win for the students. Wayne Switzer Secretary RCES Parent Teacher Organization Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 39 YEARS AGO Dec. 19,1960 A beautiful and impressive service took place Saturday, Dec. 14 in Trinity Episcopal Church Bromfield Parish, Washington at the Ordination to the Sacred Order to the Priesthood of Charles F. Giaenzer, present Rector of the Church by the Right Rev. Frederick Dean Goodwin, DJD., LLD. retired Bishop of Virginia. Following the ceremonies a luncheon was served to the assemblage by the Women of Bromfield Parish. Clifton C. Clark of Woodville was elected president of the Northern Virginia Fox Hunters Association for 1964 at the re-organizational meeting held in Culpeper on Dec. 11. A front page photo featured Stewart Palmer feeding a baby pig with a bottle. Stewart’s 4-H sow gave birth to 17 babies this week and facilities were not adequate for such a large family so Stewart decided to feed some with a bottle. The J.V. basketball team at Rappahannock County High School included Mike Welch, Bill Welch, Donnie Deal, Cecil Pullen, Carl Clark, Mack Dodson, Roger Atkins, Thomas Brown, Melvin Atkins, Page Moffett, Billy Mundy and CJ£. Dodson. 25 YEARS AGO Dec. 29,1977 An Alpine slide has been proposed for the Rappahannock Ski Area in Harris Hollow. The owners believe that the slide, which would be open during the ski area’s off eason, would allow profitable, year-round operation. The matter was taken up at last Thursday’s meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals. The students at Sursum Corda School recently visited the Rappahannock County Registrar’s office and learned what steps are necessary to become a registered voter. Mrs. Mary Cleverly, registrar, explained the procedures and requirements to them. Amissville Ruritan officers were installed for the coming year at a meeting on Wednesday evening. They are T.C. Barron, presidents Louis Jenkins, vice president; Bobby V Bywaters, secretary; Charles Mills, treasurer and George Kidwell, 3-year director. A photo featured the living nativity set up in the bam on Avondale Farm, owned by Mr. and Mrs. George H. Davis Jr. east of Washington. The event was realistically portrayed by members of the Methodist Churches in Rappahannock County. Various members took half hour stances in the pageant while in the background live animals, sheep, a goat and two donkeys completed the realistic setting. 10 YEARS AGO Dec. 30,1992 The Bed & Breakfast Association of Virginia held its fifth annual conference and business meeting for three days last week at Natural Bridge. Phil Irwin, host of Caledonia Farm B&B, located between Washington and Flint Hill, was reelected as vice president and will continue as Membership Development Director. The statewide trade association includes 125 B&B for 1993 including Caledonia Farm, Thistle Hill, Sycamore Hill and Heritage House in Rappahannock County. Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Brian P. Woodward, son of Thomas W. Woodward of Viewtown recently deployed with 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, Camp Lejeune, N.C. for six months to the Western Pacific. The battalion will be based in Oxkinawa, Japan while conducting short training exercises in other areas in the region. The Department of Social Services is currently offering tuition scholarships for college courses for child care providers. The scholarships are funded through the Child Care and Development Block Grant. State Senator Kevin G. Miller will visit the county on Jan. 6 to discuss items expected to come before the Virginia General Assembly during the 1993 session. Compiled By Barbara C.

A man ... and his passion By Walker Elliott Rowe Special to the Rappahannock News It’s a quiet cloud-covered day in December and Moody Aylor, 69, sets out across several thousand acres of melting snow with six other horseback riders in pursuit. These riders range in skill from expert to intermediate. No beginning riders are present today but they are welcome at the sfables at Moody’s Training and Riding Center at the old mill in Sperryville. The horses walk and trot across the pastures, laboriously climb up steep mountain trails, and then sally down the other side. The horse that Moody rides today is a student as well for Moody cracks it across the neck with his crop trying to give it some discipline and break its bad habits. Moody hollers “WAAAALK”—as if the word has more than one —syllable because the horse is trying to bolt. Moody has about 40 horses that he owns or boards at his riding center located at the old mill two miles south of Sperryville on Route 522 on the Thornton river. fie learned to care tor horses at Jim Bill Fletchers Thornton Hill farm where Moody moved with his family when he was two years old. Back then workhorses still worked on the farm so Moody as a young boy would ask to ride them back to the stables. Soon he was training horses and taking them to the Rappahannock Hunt to hunt foxes accompanied with dozens of hounds and dozens of riders. Moody Aylor started his stable in a partnership with Bill Lane in 1965. Mr. Lane came down from Chicago and bought 18,000 acres of land. He got into the horse business and asked Moody if he would like to be a partner because he noticed that the horses Moody trained at Thornton Hill were well-behaved. Their plan was to buy horses, train them, and then sell them. But Mr. Lane grew tired of the horse business and found it different from what he expected. Knowing that Moody had put much time and effort into the business he asked Moody if he would like to rent a Eortion of the Lane farm and keep the orse business going. “Before he got the words out of his mouth, I said, “Yes’”, recalls Moody. Moody’s business grew then as it does now by word of mouth. People would come to him saying they heard he was good with horses and ask him to teach them how to ride. One day someone came and asked him if he would board a horse. Moody’s plan was “anything in the horse world that you needed, I could take care of you”. As Moody sits in his office lined with newspaper clippings, ribbons and photographs of races won he relates his life story and explains his philosophy of teaching riders and training horses. His approach to riding is a conservative one that stresses safety. “You have to pay attention to learn,” says Moody. “Take your time and put your mind to it. People have a tendency to just want to do it.” Safety is one reason why Beth Rappahannock News Photo/Barbara C Wayland SADDLE UP: Riders and students at Moody Aylor's stable are eager to take a ride and a lesson at his training and riding center located south of Sperryville. Hilscher of Woodville brought her daughter Emily, a 14-year-old Rappahannock High School student, to ride at Moody’s stable. When Emily was eight, she was riding at another stable and fell off and broke her arm. Beth wouldn’t let Emily ride anymore but Emily kept pestering her mother for two years. Beth heard about Moody through a friend and Emily started taking lessons at Moody’s riding school. Emily rode at Moody’s for two years and then Moody took her hilltoping with the Warrenton Hunt. (Moody says many people misunderstand the term “hilltopping.” This is a group of people who ride separate from the main pack of hounds and horses who gallop through the woods and leap over fences at a speed not meant for the faint of heart nor the inexpert rider. Moody says to hilltop you still need adequate skills to control your horse at any speed.) Moody taught Emily jumping skills and after four years said she started pony racing. She has raced at the Gold Cup and the local hunt club races. “I am moving up to junior horse races next year and Moody is going to help me with that,” says Emily. She and her mother keep two horses at Moody’s stable: Luigi and Flojack. “We would never take our horses anywhere else unless we had to,” she say. “It’s not like show riding where you get all dressed up and have to be in one position. He teaches you how to ride and how to be safe. And we love Moody to death and that is why we go there.” Moody’s fort}) is training people to fox hunt “It is one of the greatest sports, “ he says. To participate you need to be a decent rider. Riding downhill fast is RAAC presents 2003 movie season By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) brings in the New Year with a variety of movie selections chosen to meet the wide range of interests in the community.

See you at the movies. difficult so he trains riders to do that and he teaches them how to leap over jumps so they can jump over fences. Doris Jones of Woodville is one of many people that Moody has taught to fox hunt. She bought two horses from Moody over the years and has kept horses at his stables. She too heard about Moody from a friend. Moody started riding with the Rappahannock Hunt when he was still working for Jim Bill Fletcher. For about 15 years he has been riding with the Warrenton Hunt. He transports horses to the hunt and takes people out and coaches them to be fox hunters. He even took his son, Pete, when he was six years old. He held onto Pete’s horse with a tether while Pete leaped over fences and galloped through the woods. Pete is now a professional trainer himself with a facility between Marshall and Warrenton. Moody says it’s simple to learn to ride horses. “You need to think it out and plan. Direct the horse. Learn to move with the horse and not just sit on it. That programs the horse to behave.” When Moody bought a farm in Gid Brown Hollow he was always looking for extra ways to make money. So he worked as a farrier putting shoes on horses for people like Edward Hudson of nearby Washington who owned some racehorses. Moody asked him if he would give. him the chance to train one of his Thoroughbreds to race. So in 1968 Moody took one of Ed Hudson’s horses to the racetrack at Charleston and in the third race, he won first place. Moody still works with racehorses but less than before. Lots of people ask Moody to train their horses. They bring in problem horses with bad habits and Moody says those bad habits are not the horse’s fault. He says the owner must learn how to be a trainer. “If you do it right you’re gonna have a nice horse.” Even with all the safety precautions riding can be dangerous as Moody knows himself. Once his horses got tangled in some yellow jackets and the horse in front of Moody kicked Moody in the leg. The horse’s hoof cut through Moody’s leather boot and fractured his shin bone. “I learned the hard way the things I preach to people”. He says he also learned from watching the mistakes of other people. His father told him to learn to “keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut.” Moody’s fleet of old horse transport trucks attests to the many years he has spent ferrying horses to and from fox hunts and various race tracks. He tells the story of when he was 21 years old and a car skidded out in front of him on a mountain icy road with no guard rail. Moody had no where to go with his horse truck but into a bank. The truck stopped safely but then rolled over onto its side. The horses inside fell together into one several thousand pound tangle of saddles, brides, hooves, and manes. One horse’s foot even poked through the side of the truck. Forty to fifty people gathered around the young, very nervous Moody Aylor each giving advice on what to do. Moody kept his cool and chopped a hole in the side of the truck with a hatchet. Then he crawled into the truck on top of the horses and freed them one by one. The many bystanders helped with ropes and they dragged all the horses to safety. No horse was injured except the one with its hoof poked through the side. It suffered a cut that healed in a few' weeks. •' • . S » ; , Jazz duo to open Theatre season . * ,> : By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News , Two of New York’s celebrated jazz musicians open the new season at the Theatre at Washington on Sunday, Jan. 12 at 3 p.m. Pianist Bill Charlap will be giving his fourth concert at the Theatre, and this time he will be accompanied by Jon Gordon on the saxophone. . Charlap and Gordon became friends when they were students at the High School for the Performing Arts in New York City. Since then they have both become soloists in their own right but continue to enjoy playing together. In 2001, they released a duo recording, “Contrasts,” made up mostly of jazz standards, including music of Hoagy Carmichael, Thelonius Monk, and Harold Arlen, as well as a couple of compositions by Charlap and Gordon themselves. Some of this music will undoubtedly be heard at the Jan. 12 concert in Little Washington. Though Charlap has been known throughout the jazz world as an accomplished pianist for many years, both The New York Times and Jazz Times have indicated that his career has recently reached new heights. ! Their reviews of his most recent CD, “Stardust,” were highly favorable, as were reviews in The Washington Post, The Village Voice, and many other v papers. % “Stardust* was released in .' 2002 by Blue Note Records, and features vocalists Tony Bennett and Shirley Horn. Jon Gordon won the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition in 1996. He appears regularly as a member of the Jazz Nativity, whose other featured musicians have included Tito Puente, Ron Carter and Dave Brubeck. Over the years he has worked with Barney Kessel, Maria Schneider, T.S. Monk, Phil Woods, and many others. He has led his own quartet at European, Canadian and U.S. Jazz * Festivals, and at many jazz clubs. Recent New York appearances include Blue Note, Birdland, Visiones, the 92nd Street Y, and % the JVC Jazz Festival. Among g the many accolades which he has / garnered over the years from the g press is Mick Joyce’s description in The Washington Post, “ ... an g exceptionally gifted player and composer.” Tickets for the concert on Sunday, Jan. 12 at 3 p.m., are $15 , for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. Reservations are recommended. For reservations, or to obtain a copy of the Theatre’s new schedule, phone 1540) 675-1253 or send an email to TheatreVA@aol.com. .. « ■ - . y ■

Announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Jaime Weldon Inspiring Tfiaugfits by Randy Minter Relying on Belief According to recent research, religion can help elderly individuals cope better and stay healthier when a loved one dies. Bereavement puts individuals at risk for numerous physical maladies and mental health disorders, and subsequently increases the likelihood that they will need to use health services. Bereaved individuals, therefore, are likely to find themselves going to the doctor more often, probably as a type of coping strategy. On the other hand, the new study showed that bereaved individuals who relied more heavily on religion to cope with their loss did not experience a significant increase in health problems. This seems to confirm the widely held belief that using spiritual guidance for support helps us through our most difficult trials. Grief is one of life's most challenging experiences because it seems to have a life of its own. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we know how surprising and overwhelming the emotions associated with grief can be. We offer compassion and professionalism to our clients.

The News regrets the error. recognized at a reception at the library on Tuesday, Dec. 17. Winners at the kindergarten level: Lily Lauben. Philip von Feilitzsch. Devon Downes and Alex Aitken. First grade winner was Emily Perry and the third grade winner was -John Morgan Christoph. Catherine Forrester was the fourth grade winner and eighth grade winners were Saawan Mehta and Ben Luke. James Milan, a tenth grader at WCDS rounded out the group. Congratulations to all of these wonderful students for thenhard work. • WCDS was proud to announce at last week's assembly that 17 students who attended the Virginia Junior Classical League Convention held in Richmond recently brought home a total of 34 awards. Among the numerous awards collected, Nicole Fegeas won first place in Sweepstakes for Level IL and her sister, Michelle Fegeas, won second place. Nicole Fegeas and Allison Russo were the winning team in the Open l ertamen event. What a great job' Many thanks to all of the parents who work so tirelessly with these students to get them ready for the YJCL each year. Thanks also, to Mr. Fred Fraser, who jumped in at the last moment for Mr -lohn McMahon, and took the students to Richmond. • Exams began last week and although the weekend was a busy one for parents, most students hung out at home studying. Fxam week is always stressful, but there is such a feeling of relief come Friday at noon. Basketball practices and games are over until January, so things should calm down for most families. • Christmas break began Friday. Dec. 20 at noon. Our international students headed back to their various countries and it’s easy to see how excited they are nlxmt seeing their families again. Living without Mom and Dad for four and a half months takes its toll, and the students are anxious to leave. The winter session Ix'gms -Jan. 6. • The icy weather played havoc with review week at WCDS. as the school remained closed two days last week With students coming from seven counties, Mr Vargo and Mr. Phillips need to monitor the weather conditions for a wide area in order to make the decision on closing or delaying school. As you know. Rappahannock is its own little world. When it's snowing like mad in Front Royal, it can lie dry pavement in Flint Hill • Thy first annual Wt'DS Art Show and Auction Held Friday, Dec Id was a great success. 'Hie show was entitled "For The Love of Animals" and featured art of animals in various media including painting, sculpture. etching, ceramics and pottery. Parents and WCDS supporters alike braved the inclement weather to join in the fun—buying and bidding for both student and professional art. In addition to WCDS student art. the works of 24 local professional artists were also represented. There was something available for everyone. We owe a great debt of thanks to Kathy Tredway, a wonderful WV-DS supporter, who helped to underwrite the event and served as the organizing committee’s co-chair and "Fairy Godmother" We also wish to thank the other members-of the organizing committee including:. Alaina Cugnon, chairperson: Karen Dick; Berkely von Feilitzsch; Marcy Lauben; Kathy Nilan and Barbara Sherwood. Our very, talented WCDS students produced beautiful pieces of ail under the direction of Mrs. Pamela Lyurt-Tucker and Mrs. Marcy'Lauben.
