Rappahannock County’s Family Newspaper Since 1877 125th Year... No. 40 Phone (540) 675*3338 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2003 www.timescommunity.com 50 cents Chappell challenges accuracy of state school report Bob Chappell Rappahannock County Public Schools Superintendent By Naomi Smoot-Kimble Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County Public Schools Superintendent Bob Chappell said he intends to meet with state officials regarding the recently released Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) report which was released last month by the Virginia Department of Education. Chappell fears inaccurate data was used in the evaluation of schools and is concerned that although Rappahannock County Elementary School met the federal definition for AYP, both the high school and the system at la'rge failed to do so. “Our position, which I will discuss in person with state officials befpre the next School Board meeting, is that there may be some inaccurate data being used to determine the AYP status of RCHS,” said Chappell in a reply to a reporter’s question. AYP evaluations, which came about as part of the 2001 No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), were published for the first time this year. Many did not fare so well. Only 55 percent of the state schools passed. Still worse, a mere 18 of the states 132 school divisions met AYP standards. Department of Education official Charles Pyle said that schools have voiced their concerns about this and two have filed an official appeal. This appeal process, he said, is limited to schools which are labeled as Title I and thus identified for corrective action. While the high school is not under this classification the elementary school is. Rave Tupper, executive director of Human Resources and Instruction for the county schools, said that meeting the definition of AYP is simply a classification itself and has no bearing on school accreditation. That, she said, is dependent solely upon student performance on Virginia’s Standard of Learning tests which students at Rappahannock’s schools appear to have faired well on. But what exactly makes a school and its district meet the definition of AYP? As a part of the NCLB Act, states are required to set and meet measurable objectives for each year involving increased achievement on state assessment tests in the areas of reading and mathematics. According to a press release by Virginia’s Department of Education, goals are also set for attendance for elementary and middle schools as well as for graduation rates from high schools. School divisions and individual schools that meet or surpass these federal objectives are considered to also meet the federal defi nition of Adequate Yearly Progress. The Virginia Department of Education points out that there are several items which should he taken into consideration when examining the AYP status of schools and school divisions in the state For starters, they said, Virginia's AYP objectives for t he 2002-03 school year were among the most stringent in the nation. The state required 61 percent of students overall and within all subgroups to show proficiency in reading. In addition, 59 percent of students were required to exhibit proficiency in mathematics. Subgroups which were considered in the evaluation included: white, black, Hispanic, disabled students, economically disadvantaged students and those with limited English proficiency. See SCHOOLS, Page A2 Who the candidates are, what they stand for Candidates to speak at Headwaters’ forum By Naomi Smoot-Kimble Rappahannock News Staff Writer With three contested seats in this November’s School Board election, voters want to know how candidates stand on the issues. What do they see as Rappahannock County public school’s greatest strength? Its weaknesses? And what is their vision for instructional programming in the schools? These quest’om, along with others submitted by the public, will be answered Oct. 9 at the Rappahannock County Public Library during a forum sponsored by Headwaters at 7 p.m. Candidates running for office who will be present at the forum include Wesley Mills, who announced in September that he is running as a write in candidate hoping to retain the Jackson seat. Opposing him is Ron Makela. Jim Oyster and Meredith Gorfein, both running for the Hampton seat, are vying to fill a position vacated by board member Douglas Baumgardner. Sharon Kilpatrick, who was appointed to fill the Stonewall-Hawthome seat after the passing of Frank Warner earlier this summer, will be facing off against Ken Marlor. Alene Johnson from the Piedmont District and Rosa Crocker from the Wakefield District are both running uncontested for reelection.

Coyote Cafe leaves the customers howling By Naomi Smoot-Kimble Rappahannock News Staff Writer Owners of Sperryville’s new TexMex restaurant, Jenniffer Gore and her husband, Jamie, a cousin of former Vice President A1 Gore, are among the exodus of urban dwellers who are leaving behind the pressure and pavement of the city and heading for rural America. And their newest restaurant, which she refers to as an “everyday” sort of eatery, is quite a change from the others the family ran while living in the city. His father operated the famous Jockey Club in Washington D.C. Later Gore followed in his footsteps with the Guards Restaurant, Le Jardin and Coco Loco. Her family also had the business in their blood and owned a Tex-Mex chain. A little over a year ago the couple moved from Old Town Alexandria to Fauquier County with their three children, a 14-year-old daughter who is a part-time waitress at the new eatery, a 13-month-old baby and a four-week-old infant.

The joy in her eyes as she talks about the “treasure hunt” involved in searching for the perfect item for her store makes one feel as though they have stepped into a pirate’s den and the books and other items which fill the room become as intriguing as heaps of gold and rubies which have been acquired through countless searches for loot. During her searches, which Owen said is by far the highlight of this new book store near Settle's Grocery, she has found numerous treasures including a book which had been a childhood favorite of a professor in New York, as well a.> a map of Shenandoah National Park in its early days. It seems these treasures fly from Owen’s hands as quickly as she comes across them, as she said the map was purchased by the owner of a nearby bed and breakfast before See BOOKS, Page A8 New VDOT program: Keeping roads rural, rustic By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News People in Rappahannock County take their roads seriously. The annual review of the county’s Secondary Road Six-Year Plan is a good time to see joy and angst in action Secondary roads are those numbered 600 and higher This year, the annual review and public hearing is set for Monday, Oct. 6 at the 7 p m meeting of the Board of Supervisors at the county courthouse on Gay Street Occasionally, the annual review of what work is proposed to be done by the Virginia Department of Transportation on selected secondary roads in the county is almost like theater, with people shaking with emotion. Children nave been brought in to support arguments for or against projects. Something new this year is VDOTs Rural Rustic Road Program. The focus of the program is “on leaving trees, vegetation, side slopes and open drainage abutting the roadway undisturbed to the maximum extent possible.” The program applies to gravel roads only. The major change to the road or road section is in its road surface, with an improvement from gravel to a tar and gravel surface According to Garrett Moore, Resident Engineer for the Warrenton residency, “The tar and gravel is typically a prime and double seal. It rou^ily consists of three coats of tar and three different-sized layers of stone” Other criteria that must be met to be designated a rural rustic road includes an average daily traffic of between 50 arid 500 vehicles a day Users of the road must be local people who are familiar with its twists, turns. and up and down characteristics and they mast accept the fact the road will not be- widened, flattened, and straight: ened Safety, though, is still the top priority Further criteria: the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors must have endeavored to limit growth on such roadways via the county's Comprehensive Flat, and the supervisors. by resolution, mast designate each road or mad section as a Rural Rustic Road See VDOT.

Haf Davies, a visiting eighth grade English teacher from England, joined Rappahannock’s faculty several days prior to the start of school while Sarah Burke, who will be teaching eighth grade math this year, has been in her classroom for only two weeks. Davies is part of Visiting International Faculty, a program which aims to introduce American students to cultures they might not otherwise discover. The program places teachers from nations around the globe in American schools. Her goals this year are twofold. Personally, Davies, who is in the United States for the first time, hopes to be able to travel as much as possible and learn about her new surroundings. But she has not forgotten about her students. Professionally Davies said she hopes to “deliver a good American curriculum with the added bonus of the unique things I can bring from England.” Davies, who has taught English Language and Literature for three years in Nottingham, England, has greatly eiyoyed her experiences here in the county thus far. “I’ve loved every minute of it. The kids are fantastic. They have so much character,” she said. Burke, a native of South Central West Virginia, has an equally positive impression of her students. “The kids have been absolutely wonderful to me. I really like it here. The kids have gone out of their way to be good to me,” she said. Burke came to Rappahannock after finding a posting on the Department of Education’s webpage, stating that the county was seeking a math teacher. Having recently received a degree in math from Marshall College in West Va., she jumped at the opportunity. She said she spoke with school officials and within a week moved to Sperryville to take the job. “I spoke with Ray Tapper and she was outstandingly nice. I thought if anyone else is like her in Rappahannock County then I wanted to be here,” Burke said. While Burke has not taught before she has volunteered with children in the past and said she has been active in summer Vacation Bible Schools in her home town of Nicholson County, West Va. Schools From Page A1 At least 95 percent of students within each subset were required to be tested with their results only being counted towards calculation at a level at which 50 or more students exist in the subgroup. So, if 50 students from a subset do not attend an individual school, Private Chef 111 & Caterers** Fresh from California Enjoy delicious healthy meals. Prepared in your home. Shop ~ Cook ~ and Clean Up Weekly, Monthly or Special Occasion 540-987-9313 _mjenfnillOaol.com_ but there are 50 or more in the division, their scores will count at the division level but not for their individual school. Making evaluation even more complex is the fact that schools must meet or exceed a series of 29 to 35 separate objectives. If they fail even one of these requirements, the Virginia Department of Education said, they are not considered to have achieved AYP. Chappell intends to discuss his concerns regarding the data involved in this process with state officials prior to the School Board’s next meeting on Oct. 14, at which time he will publicly address the issue. In the meantime residents should rest assured that this does not affect a school’s accreditation status, which relies solely on the states SOL tests. School officials report that they feel certain last year’s test scores will allow them to attain full accreditation. □ Please enter my new subscription to: Bappahannock News Subscription Rates By n_I__1_ m / Rappahannock...:.*21 .“"/y Elsewhere in the U.S.*27.°°/y< Name Address City.

Packing Shed Gallery opens exhibit on Oct. 2 By June Jordan Special to the Rappahannock News For the month of October, The Packing Shed Gallery will devote its entire space to the “New Works” of Pat Cook’s “Conversation" series and Betty Calabria’s two and three dimensional icon forms of the apron. This exhibition runs from Oct. 2 through Oct. 27 with an artists’ reception on Sunday, Oct. 5 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Pat Cook’s “ Conversation” series, begun in 1993, invites viewers to bring their own history into the art work. It has expanded to include drawing, mixed media, acrylic, oil and printmaking. A universal theme of interaction and communication is expressed with the human figure. Endeavoring to say enough but not too much is her challenge. Cook begins by looking at photographs taken over the years to find subject matter where there is a retd connection between people. A small sketch is done and evaluated followed by a charcoal and cont£ drawing on gessoed paper. After saying “what if" and considering changes, a small color study is done. Finally, having satisfied herself with format and color choices, the larger acrylic painting is begun. Cook’s work has received numerous awards in national and international exhibitions. She has been included in the American Watercolor Society, National Watercolor Society, Butler Institute of American Art, Salmagundi Club, among other juried exhibitions. She is a “Signature Member” of the National Watercolor Society, Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club, Georgia Watercolor Society, Southern Watercolor Society and Virginia Watercolor Society. She has studied art at High Museum in Atlanta, the University of Georgia and James Madison University. For nine years, she was the newspaper staff artist for The News Virginian in Waynesboro where she lives. Betty Calabria’s sculpture New easements recorded By Bob Dennis Special to the Rappahannock News Conservation easements now protect 14,696 acres in Rappahannock County, more than 10 percent of all privately owned land in the county September 17 brought the recording of an easement granted by Marie W. Ridder of 51 acres five miles northeast of Flint Hill on ' the Rappahannock River between already-easement-protected parcels owned by Stephanie Ridder and Charley and Susan Strittmatter. The easement permits no division of the property and includes a 50-foot buffer strip along the river. The Ridder donation results in the entire north/east side of Route 637 between Routes 647 and 522 (six miles) now having easement protection, except for about 100 yards owned by Richard and Esther Settle. Approximately 30 years ago, Phil Irwin granted the first conservation easement in Rappahannock County, protecting Caledonia Farm. With a document recorded Sept. 5 Irwin now has granted four easements; together, they protect 115 acres at the junction of Dearing and Fodderstack Roads.

Work aprons represent the world of human endeavor, a world of effort and intent. It is also one of self-awareness and exploration. Much like the proverbial coal miner, studio work is conducted within the light of a headlamp. Lamplight has limitations, there is no distant perspective. She operates with a general sense of direction. “By working openly,” she says, “it is possible for me to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.” Initially, work was made by incorporating found objects with a variety of aprons. “The game" was to find and put together disparate materials. No associative meanings were intended. However, through proximity and association, meaning arose. “With initial successes, I formulated apron imagery. Icons are intended to pay tribute to the costs of human endeavor. Aprons are solid forms with presence in a larger than lifesize scale,” she says. Materials include glazed tiles mounted on solid wood panels. Calabria has been selected for numerous juried exhibitions, group shows and invitational one artist’s shows, including Bridgewater College, WV Wesleyan College and Eastern Mennonite University. She has her MFA from James Madison University with Above, Pat Cook's “Conversation" series includes acrylic and oil. Right, Betty Calabria exhibits her sculptures and painting forms. Photos courtesy.

It also shows how important it is to support our emergency medical teams as they are our link not only to the nearest hospital but to keeping us alive till we get there. Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue squad members and neighbors Dominique and Luke DeMaitre, helped save the life of Col. John Bourgeois of Tiger Valley who had a heart attack one recent morning. (See letter to the editor on this page). We are familiar with what happened that morning and Coi. Bourgeois is alive today because of the expertise, care and diligence exhibited by EMS volunteers Roger Roach and Ann Spieker in the ambulance on the way to Fauquier Hospital emergency room. This rescue is a reminder that the volunteers who staff all of our county’s fire and rescue departments deserve thanks as well as financial support. They are pot paid for the time they sacrifice in training, in running calls and in raising money. With the growing number of older people moving into the county as well as the aging baby boomers, the Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue has responded to 400 rescue calls and 100 more for fires in the past year. The contribution these volunteers make to our community is invaluable. We extend our thanks to all of them for the work they do and urge everyone to support them.

Rappahannock Today Ulilii Photo courtesy/Ginny Laser Students, teachers and parents at Wakefield Country Day School participated for the second year in “See You at the Pole" on Sept. 17, a national day of student prayer which began 14 years ago and has attracted involvement by schools from 50 states and several countries. It was initiated last year when WCDS students gathered to “pray for peace." The ceremony has been led both years by the Rev. Jon Heddleston, pastor of Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church, Sperryville, whose wife is a teacher at WCDS and their two children are students at the school. Letters With thanks, for ‘the gift of life’ Early Friday morning of 5 September, I was overcome by a cardiac episode. My next door neighbors, Luke and Dominique DeMaitre, came to my assistance with Dominique administering nitro-glycerine. Russell Collins of Grand View happened on the scene and' called the rescue squad led by Roger Roach and Ann Spieker of the Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue team. Roger and Ann professionally and expeditiously applied their life-saving talents in the ambulance en route to the Fauquier Hospital Emergency Room. As a result of the actions of all of the above mentioned and two stents implanted at Fairfax Inova, I am in full recovery and am able to personally thank them all for the gift of life. We in Rappahannock are truly fortunate to have one of the best emergency response teams in the state and should support them in any way possible as someday any of us could be in need of their services. John R. Bourgeois Washington No takers for scholarship: ‘a sad commentary’ That a scholarship so generously offered by Bob Darby goes begging is a sad commentary on our high school, our students and most pointedly on the apparent quality of science and math offerings and instruction at the high school. The front page story in the Rappahannock News would have been more informative with even a brief listing of the science and math courses available. Bob Darby is eminently right in his statement that “these areas of study are vital to society.” Sadly, these are areas where high school stu dent* in the U. S. fall far behind their counterpart* in most, if not all other industrialized countries. I* the problem student*’ lack of interest? Is it the absence of qualified instructors? Are there scientists, mathematicians and engineers in our midst who could be asked to volunteer time to enrich the course offerings at the high school from their knowledge and experience? Perhaps this is something that Headwaters, the county educational foundation, might explore. Bill Dobrovir Sperryville Celebrating a regional GED graduation A dult education in Culpeper, xxMadison, Orange and Rappahannock counties held a regional GED graduation at GWC-Piedmont Educational Center on Aug. 28. On behalf of adult education I would like thank the following for their contribution to this graduation: Ed Scott, our keynote speaker, for his expression of pride in our graduates and his words of encouragement; Frank Bossio, Culpeper County Administrator and pur Master of Ceremonies, for his motivation, wit, and introduction*; Michael Robinson, the new assistant superintendent for Orange County Schools, for his warm welcome to the GED graduates, their families and friends; Brenda Landes, GED graduate speaker, for sharing her experience as an adult student; Terri Larsen, Executive Director of the Literacy Council of Madison County, for her talent in playing the piano for our ceremony; Kim Jebson, the new Executive Director of Culpeper Literacy Council for preparing the GED graduates for the ceremony; Board Members of Culpeper Literacy Council and Literacy Council of Madison County, for providing a variety of wonderful baked goods for the reception and assisting with the clean-up after the ceremony; Agnes Puryear, with Madison Garden Club, for the two beautiful floral centerpieces at the reception tables; Phyllis Metzger and Janette Sharp, for the fabulous ferns on the stage; Wal-mart Supercenter of Culpeper, for providing the two cakes for our celebration. Additionally, I would like to thank our teachers. They work long hours to provide adults in our community a means to receive their GED. It is, part, because of their dedication that 82 adults this fiscal year passed the GED testijA our region. We would not be celebrating a regional GED graduation without these teachers. Margaret Buraker Regional Director Specialist Down Memory Lane Fmm Back Issues of the Rapmmannock News 53 YEARS AGb Oct, 5, 1950 Dickie Walker, fleet of foot end Arm in the clinch, caught the greasy pig, which he promptly sold for $25 at the Rappahannock County Fair on Saturday, Sept, 30. His mother was not overjoyed at the sight of Dickie s Sunday -go-to- meeting pants after the oily porker was nabbed, but Dickie bushed her up by assuring the cash on hand would buy another pair. Richard Beck won as a door prize one year s rent on a locker at the Sperryville Frozen Food Locker Bobby Hawkins was given as a door prize one gallon of paint. Mias Hath St^jrens, as a door prize, was given two dinners at the Lee Highway Hotel. In the afternoon door prizes were given to Betty Eubank, $10 in lumber credit; Evnlee Jacobs a gallon of antifreeze; Saauwy gnrad got the quart of motor oil, which his mother will probably not let bun have to play in and enjoy but will give it to the Commonwealth Attorney to use in his car. The Rappahannock Hunt Club held its first meeting of the season Friday at the home of William F. Moffett, Jr., to elect officers and discuss plans for the coming season. Officers elected for the 1950-51 season are James W, Fletcher and John R. DeBergh joint masters; Mrs. John R. DeBergh Hon. Secretary and Treasurer. Hon. Whips are CoL H. H. C. Richards, William F. Moffett Jr., W. G. East ham and Mias Florence Fitzgerald. Huntsman is Earl Yancey The first hunt will be held Oct. 28 at Fletcher s Double Gates. 25 YEARS AGO Oct, 5, 1978 The 22nd Annual House Tour of historic »**4 interesting homes and buildings in the Rappahannock County area will be held on the weekend of Oct. 21 and 22. The tour, which also features the popular Dried Flower Sale, is sponsored each year by the Episcopal Cburcbwomen of Bromfield Parish At least eight buildings will be open this year including ‘Stone!edge," the handsome new home of Mr, and Mrs, Sydney ManJk. Other homes opened for the tour include Rosewood, the home of Mr. and Mr*. Peter Labovitz and Hopperland, the Harris Hollow home of A. K. Davis. Tea will be served both days at Rosewood. The help that Rappahannock can expect to receive from Planning District 9 on the county's comprehensive plan will be on a "catch as catch can' basis. At last Thursday's meeting in Culpeper, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commissioners emphasized that they favored lending all possible support in development of Rappahannock's comprehensive plan but only within PD9's "present resource capability." CoL E. P. Luke, Rappahannock s representative on the Commission, announced that the county planners had finally decided that they needed help on formulating a comprehensive plan and had asked PD9 for assistance. 10 YEARS AGO Sept. 29,1993 Roy Leake has agreed to sell the county 5 119 acres for $60,000. The land will be used for expansion of the elementary school. This year, number 37, features two spectacular properties for touring and tea in the garden at the third home on Trinity Church's House Tour and Dried Flower Sale. Piedmont Farm, home of Mr. and Mr*. Rolf Grange, is located in the glorious F. T. Valley as is Oldefield Farm, home of Mr. Job B. Morgan. The Sharp's Mountain Green is down the Harris Hollow road. Those who attended RLEPs annual mating were treated to swinging gospel music by David "Scratch" Clanagan and the Free Spirits, and a Rappahannock County song by Lorraine Duisit. . . . After the Free Spirits warmed up the audience, several speakers said that a major issue facing RLEP today is the proposed transmissionjine from Sperryville to Culpeper Couhty that the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative wants to build. * For some this was deja vu, because RLEP was founded in 1970 to oppose a proposed power line to run from Sperryville to Front Royal.

Thanks to a $5,000 gift from the Jesse and Rose Loeb Foundation of Warrenton, work will begin shortly on installation of a new sound and light system at the elementary school. This foundation was established by Rose Loeb after her husband Jesse’s death in 1990 to pursue the couple’s dream of seeing their wealth benefit the local community. The foundation provides financial support to local charitable organizations in the areas of education, public safety, social services and health care. “The children here have created so many wonderful productions over the years,” said RCES Art Teacher Harriette Rosenblatt. “We’re so tired of hearing audience members say, ‘I’m sure that was a great show—too bad we couldn’t see or hear what the children were doing.” “(RCES music teacher) Joy Rollins and I are so thrilled about this generous gift.” The project’s first phase will provide a new sound system that allows performances to be heard even in a packed hall and a second, overflow room (the gymnasium). A parent-volunteer who is a sound engineering expert will oversee installation of the system. When both phases of the project are complete, the RCES’s stage will be graced with professional sound, lights and hanging scenery adequate to the size of the room. Total funds needed to complete this first phase are $8,570. Matching funds of $750 from the Curriculum Enrichment Program and $500 from Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation, will supplement the Loeb Foundation’s gift. Another $2,320 will be sought to complete this phase. The project’s design was provided by On Stage Gear, a North Carolina company that works regularly with Ki Theatre. On Stage Gear’s site survey and design were made possible by a $450 grant from Headwaters in 2002. Once the first phase is complete, work will begin to raise $8,000 for the second phase dealing with lighting and scenery.” Amy Silver is the grant writer for Rappahannock County Public Schools /Headwaters. Free tutoring for Rappahannock students By Naomi Smoot-Kimble Rappahannock News Staff Writer Thanks to a new tutoring program at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington, there is help for students. No matter whether the question is science, math, literTown Agenda The following are the highlights of the agenda for the Washington Town Council meeting on Oct 8: • Public hearing on ordinance to increase the number of members of the Planning Commission from five to seven and to establish the terms of such appointees. • ESS presentation on . wastewater treatment; • Reservoir; • Sidewalk projects. JENKINS ORCHARDS ature or history, a line up of qualified tutors has volunteered to assist any local student seeking remediation or even just in need of someone to study with before the big test. The program,which begins on Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and continues each Thursday in the Parish Hall, allows walk-ins but prefers that students schedule an appointment beforehand. Parents are required to stay for their child’s 30-minute tutoring session. Emma Sue Amos, who teaches math at Wakefield Country Day School, realized recently along with fellow parishioner Susan Laing, a teacher in Fauquier County, that a need existed to provide such assistance to local school children.

Several volunteers came forward, many of whom have a great deal of experience in the areas they will be tutoring. For example, Ruth Baumgardner, who taught math in Rappahannock County Public Schools for 16 years, will be providing free one-on-one math tutoring. Preston Angell, a retired civil engineer will be helping with the math program as well. And the list goes on. Amos thinks this line up will be able to provide exactly what every child needs, help. “Children need some extra help somewhere along the line,” she said. And while parents often wish they could provide this assistance themselves, sometimes it is necessary to seek help from someone else, she said. “I think any help you can give children so that they will have a step up in the world is a good thing,” said Louise Ellis, a former college composition tutor who will be assisting with the program. “There’s a real need for remediation and help for students who can’t keep up in the classroom," added Baumgardner.

Forum From Page A1 Moderator Mary Anne Biggs of Headwaters, will present prepared questions as well as those brought in by the audience for either the panel or individual candidates. The event will conclude at 8:30 p.m., with time scheduled afterwards for casual conversation and refreshments. Biggs said she hopes the forum will provide the public with more information about who the candidates are and where they stand on the issues. But the forum, one of six Headwaters has sponsored in recent years, does more than just this. “I think it gives people an opportunity to hear the candidates at the same time, all in one room,'’ said Biggs. She feels people art' better able to realize the differences in candidates’ priorities and ideas when they are presented alongside one another. The forum is intended to help voters make informed decisions in an election which Biggs refers to as “an important community responsibility.” After all. she said, this board will be making important decisions regarding children’s instruction, school facilities and employment matters in the coming months. These, she said, are people who wall "determine the school's direction.’’ In turn, this forum is the public’s opportunity to hear what that direction might be. yd o r From Page A1 Ideally, rural rustic roads are dead-end gravel roads, or “loop" gravel roads (a “loop" gravel road starts and ends with a paved road or paved section). VDOT has suggested that the gravel end of Piedmont Avenue outside of Washington and Route 624, Sunnyside Orchard Road, to the end of state maintenance, be considered as candidates for the program. An individual along Route 638, Grimsley Road, has asked that it be considered for the program, but many along the road want to keep the road gravel. According to YDOT, if all the people along a gravel road want to keep it gravel, VDOT will respect that request. The following nine projects have been proposed for consideration in the update of the SixYear Plan (no priorities have been assigned yet >: • Route 626, Scrabble Road: improve sight distance on curve; • Route 646, Dodson Road: recon struct bridge and approaches; • Route 633, Battle Run Road: reconstruct bridge and approaches; • Route 642: View-town Road: install curb, gutter and sidewalk; • Route 625: Mount Marshall Road: flood control improvements; • Route 615, Turkey Ridge Road: flood control improvement at stream; • Route 616, Castleton ViewRoad: reconstruct roadway; • Route 1001, Water Street in Sperryville: reconstruct bridge and approaches; • Route 622, Rock Mills road: spot improvements. Cafe From Page A1 “We always liked the area a lot and wanted to make a change from city life to the country’,” said former television broadcaster Jenniffer Gore who worked with programs such as Showtime Boxing. “We just love the people the environment and the pace of life,” she added. After the couple left their D. C. restaurants behind, Jenniffer got the idea to start a Tbx-Mex restaurant of her own, and felt their current location would be perfect. "We were patrons there off and on when it was run by different people,” she said, explaining how they came across their most recent property which they purchased in January. They serve dinner from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday as well as brunch on Saturday and Sunday. While the Gores are aware that the building has seen a variety of owners in recent years, from a barbecue joint to the more recent Blue Moon Cafe. Gore is certain that his restaurant is here to stay. And from the looks of it, its working. Starting at 5 p.m. when the restaurant opens its doors customers are coming in for dinner and to enjoy the 5-7 p.m. happy hour with 99 cent draft beer and free chips, salsa and buffalo wings. Families are welcome as well, and by 7 p.m.. with dinner in full swing, several can be seen enjoying the restaurant’s fare. The Gores offer a children’s menu for $4.95. This includes a choice of a grilled cheese sandwich, cheese quesadilla, or a chicken or beef taco, any of which comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for desert. For adults there are numerous options as well. Gore himself suggests the #1 Combo which includes a refried bean burrito, crispy beef taco and chicken enchilada with refried beans, rice, guacamole and sour cream. “The enchiladas and the burritos here are really the best I’ve ever had. Our cook specializes in these,” said Gore. Those who prefer vegetarian cuisine have plenty of choices too. The cheese enchiladas, which are hand rolled and covered in red sauce are an excellent choice at only $8.99. Other meat-free options include portabella mushroom fajitas and burritos filled with refried beans, cheese and grilled seasonal vegetables. "I would like to invite everybody in the County to come out for dinner," said Gore who believes this new restaurant is filling a much needed desire Rappahannock residents have for a new and different kind of dining establishment. “The thing that was missing in Rappahannock was good Mexican food. A lot of people I asked who lived in Rappahannock said they wanted to have it here,” he said. "The food is very good," said Sperryville resident Tbm VonFange who was enjoying tacos and free wings during a recent visit. “I’m definitely going to bring my wife up here,” he said.

But there are more than just books to be found. There are stacks of vinyl recordings and prints from original books. The store’s decor, which Owen hopes patrons will find warm and inviting, includes chairs where one can relax and enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee or tea. Nearby is a guitar case and piano, its bench stacked with books including a volume on African American spirituals. Paper mache figures with a South American flair sit on a shelf, not far away. She hopes that readers will find her selection of books just as unique as her decorations, which she feels reflect her eclectic interests. “I definitely look for nontraditional books,” said Owen. “I’d like people to come in and say ‘Oh wow!’ “ But creating such an atmosphere and collection was nei ther easy nor speedy. Owen said it took a year to get the store ready, and while some items are not yet priced she nonetheless wanted to open the doors. “They were just sitting here,” she said of her books. “I didn’t want them to just sit here anymore, I wanted them to find a new home."

Soccer From Page A5 U-10 U-10 girls sponsored by Settles Cars and Trucks played their second match of the season against Madison.

The Dickey House is on the House Tour Oct. 18-19 By Helen Willlyms Special tn the Rappahannock News The House Tour, set for Oct. 18 and 19, offers three Rappahannock homes for viewing by the general public during the annual fall fundraiser sponsored by the Episcopal Church Women of Trinity Church in Washington. One of the three homes on the tour, the Dickey house, is located off Hinson’s Ford Road in Amissville on Lost Acres Lane. Every room of Lrary and Marlene Dickey’s home speaks of beauty and craftsmanship, some of it attributed to local professional talent and some of it to the talents of the Dickeys themselves, but all of it interesting, attractive and perfectly suited to the mood of the almost 30-year-old home. Color, opulence, beauty and comfort are the watchwords, and each room showcases arresting and elegant furnishings and accessories. One enters the house to a small foyer and immediately a large field stone fireplace, marble top tables and plaid draperies in the living room are visible. An old pine vitrine from Wisconsin holds family porcelain treasures, and Marlene’s art graces the walls, both as pictures, and also as wall decoration. Across the foyer is the English library, with built in bookcases completely full of booka, tufted sofas and chairs, and a unique lighting system. Paisley wallpaper and fringed and tasseled draperies add to the serious atmosphere. A piano, played often by Gary, adorns one wall, and an old pine doughboy holds books and other printed matter. The kitchen, recently redone, is filled with light and a fountain and plants bring the outdoors inside. Rappahannock craftsmen Gene Lyman and Bob Haase built the original kitchen cabinets, and have refitted them as the room evolved. New peach-colored granite forms the countertops and Mrs. Dickey used the sink cutout as the top of a small kitchen island. Both the Dickeys .worked on the intricate tiling around the new stove. Wonderful views of the large patio are visible from both the cooking and eating areas of the room. The dining area shares the fireplace, a double-sided one, with the living room. A very old milking stool and andirons made by Mrs. Dickey’s father, adorn the hearth. The stones for the fireplace were picked out of the fields by the Dickeys while the house was being built, and a mason from Warrenton built the fireplace. An old pie safe, with original screening, holds cookbooks and recipes. The floor is heart pine, with old rose head nails used as fastenings. Between the living room and the eating area of the kitchen, a unique built in china closet is wallpapered to show off the china and glass collections. Family and friends usually enter the house from the new garden room, with painted murals of birdhouses, plants, garden pots and brick walls. Mr. Dickey laid the tile for the floor, and Mrs. Dickey did the finishing. Here the Dickey’s have more family heirlooms and other interesting items gathered over the years, both in New Jersey and in Virginia. A chest, made for Mrs. Dickey’s birth, serves as the coffee table. A church pew and an old sewing machine, lamps and andirons made by Mrs. Dickey’s father, and a cupboard painted by Mrs. Dickey add to the mood of this large and very pleasant room. Upstairs begins with a generous landing, furnished with a chaise lounge and some of Marlene’s paintings. The master bedroom called the Persian room by the family, features oriental accents in bedspread, bed canopy and drapes. A large three-section mirror, an oriental chest and a large Japanese print cf waterlilies add to the opulent theme. A two-tone silk cord accents the bed canopy and continues all around the room’s ceiling. Two more bedrooms make up the second floor. Both were originally for the Dickey’s two daughters, now grown. One has become Mrs. Dickey’s See TOUR, Page B2 Above, the English library in the Dickey home has built in bookcases, tufted sofas and chairs and tasseled draperies.

Photos courtesy/Judy Tole Casdeton Farms Theatre sponsors benefit performance By Richakd Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Some 130 guests enjoyed a unique evening of modem dance by the highlyacclaimed Rincones Dance Theater at Lorin and Dietlinde Maazel’s private theater at their Castleton Farms estate this past Saturday evening. A Washington-based modem repertory dance company founded 10 years ago, the Rincones Dance Theater often performs at the Kennedy Center and other theaters in the Nation’s Capital. It also has performed at Lincoln Center in New York City. Juan Carlos Rincones, the Dance Theater’s founder and director, has a strong commitment to sharing dance with all segments of Washington’s diverse cultural community and often provides free participatory performances for children and teenagers. In a statement accompanying the program, Rinfones said, “For me, dance needs to say something... something about life, emotions, passion. It is a reminder that we are all human.” The intimate setting of the Maazels’ little theatre—a state-of-theart auditorium renowned for its acoustics and design—enhanced the experience of the theatre-goers who could marvel at the bold and(/aelicate dance steps up close and easily observe the animated expressions on the dancers’ faces. The program, choreographed by Rincones, began with a Latin American piece, “A Fuego Lento” (“On a Slow Flame”) and ended with a nostalgic and beautiful “Patsy Cline Suite” of songs put to dance. The talented dancers brought to life the hauntingly moving words and melodies of late country western linger Patsy Cline in such numbers as “Walkin’ After Midnight” and “Crazy . . . Over You.” The evening was a benefit performance for the Chateauville Foundation established by the Maazels in 1997.

After several attempts to bring this film to the movie-going community, the film is in hand just awaiting the show date. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community brings this film to The Theatre in Little Washington Friday, Oct. 3 at 8 p.m. In “A Mighty Wind” writer-director Christopher Guest proves that there are times when the art of poking delicate fun isn’t just one of the more sincere forms of flattery—it’s among the niost loving. Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer gently tweak the world of folk music in this mockumentary about a reunion of old folksters. The talented cast breathes wit and comedic timing into this spoof of folk-era life and lunacy. The Guest method of moviemaking is unique; working from the writer’s See ‘WIND’, Page B8 RAAC welcomes new members at party on Oct. 3 By Rosie Mullany Special to the Rappahannock News RAAC welcomes new members with new ideas to help make Rappahannock a lively and interesting place to live. RAAC is the Rappahannock Association for Arts and Community. Current members look forward to meeting new members at the membership party beside The Theatre on Gay Street on Friday, Oct. 3 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. before the movie, “A Mighty Wind.” More than 20 years ago RAAC was founded as a “nonprofit organization to create the opportunity for all residents of Rappahannock County to enrich their lives through exposure to the arts, and to See RAAC, Page B8 ‘Seabiscuit’: showing the 1949 version and the new one By Rosie Mullany Special to the Rappahannock News RAAC will replace the usual Second Friday at the Library series with a movie on Friday, Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. The movie, shown without charge at the library, is “The Story of Seabiscuit 1949.” RAAC will follow up this movie with the recent film, “Seabiscuit,” at the Theatre on Gay Street on Oct. 17 at 8 p.m. A charming Shirley Temple stars in the 1949 version of “Seabiscuit” shown in color. A famous native of Ireland, Barry Fitzgerald, plays a horse trainer renowned for his ability to pick a winning thoroughbred at age one. When he’s hired by a breeder in Kentucky, he spots a champion in a yearling named “Seabiscuit,” but noone else shares his faith. This is the only movie that shows the real “Seabiscuit” in action since See SEABISCUIT’, Page B8 ‘The Music Halls of Paris 1900-1960’ coming to Theatre By Wendy Weinberg Special ti he Rappahannock News The Theatre at Washington will preser* a frothy and festive show, ‘The Music Halls of Paris 1900-1960” n Saturday, Oct. 11 at 8 p.m. Written and performed by Robin Phillips Knop. the performance brings together lovely French chansons, accordion music and lavish costumes to evoke the by-gone spi. its of popular artists of the Parisian music halls— Colette. Kiki, Maurice Chevalier, Marlene Dietrich, Mistinguett and of course Edith Piaf. An accc ''plished actress, Knop plays a cabaret artist in The Music Halls of Paris.” Past performances have received accolades from audiences and the press alike. Her perfect French lends itself to the songs made famous by the legendary mu»ic hall performers of the past. But Knop moves easily between French and English and in fact is equally at home singing in both languages—and switching to German when she brings back the lovely “Lili Marlene," whose popularity began during World War One. The role of “Taccordeoniste” in this performance wall be played by Carmelo Pino, who has been a soloist with The Maryland Symphony and with The Washington Chamber Symphony at the Kennedy Center. At the MCI Center in Washington, D.C., Pino had the great thrill of accompanying The Three Tenors, Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras. Tickets for the show are $15 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. For reservations, or to obtain a copy of The Theatre’s schedule, phone (540) 675-1253 or sqnd an email to TheatreVA@aol.com.

Tour From Page B1 workroom, full of paints, materials, stencils and the like. The other is now the guestroom, with a canopy bed, painted tole lamp, old hump back trunk from Wisconsin and other antique treasures. Throughout the house, Mrs. Dickey has crafted unique surfaces. Sponge painting, faux marble and other interesting finishes show her skill and interest. Even the concrete patio floor is adorned with examples of her talents. The Dickeys say that when they came to build in Rappahannock County, they chose the exterior plans for a bam and then customized the interior to suit them. This customizing is still going on, and has provided a home whose beauty and style will delight, amaze and comfort all who visit or are lucky enough to live there. The master bedroom, called the Persian Room by the Dickey family, features oriental accents in bedspread, bed canopy and draperies.

Yes, you go there each week to worship, but that special place has individual meaning to each worshipper. Perhaps your toddlers have been noisier than Times Square on New Year's Eve. You need peace and reflection. If you anticipate a trying week in the workplace, you may hope to gain strength and patience from your worship leader. Some iwmmmm people who live alone look forward to the fellowship or a discussion group. The musically inclined particularly enjoy praise through music and song. There is something for everyone in Cod's House. Then there is a time for prayer and meditation. Certainly we each have a request of our Heavenly Father or maybe we need to give thanks for a blessing from the previous week. Whatever your need, Cod is there for you. In Exodus 25:8, Cod said, "Let them make Me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.* Cod is waiting to serve your needs. Won't you meet Him there this week?

For background then- is a romance between the trainer’s niece 'Temple; and 'Seabiscuit” jockey, Lon McCallister. Though deeply in love, Shirley won’t marry the jockiy unles-. he gives up horse racing. This movie is an interesting example of Technicolor entertain- ent frr m Hollywood’s histone studio system in the 30s, 40s and 50s. It wasn't unusual for ^.mtract players (in this case Shirley Temple, Barry Fitzgerald and Lon McAllister) to play fictional characters in fact-1 ased series, since factual fidelity was often considered a secondary priority. That’s why this drama makes no mention of the legend-, y “Se-aiscuit” Uainer Tom Smith or jockey Red Podard, who were duly recognized in the 2003 “Seabiscuit” based on Laura Hillenbrand’s historically accurate 2001 best~«4ier.

Inspiring, Ttwugfits by Randy Minter SYMBOLIC OF GRIEF During the Victorian era, mourning jewelry was popularly worn in remembrance of -a loved one and as a reminder to the living of the inevitability of death. Black and white enameled rings and broaches were found in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries, and later, it became a status symbol to present mourning rings to family and friends of the bereaved. Mourning jewelry reached the height of popularity in England after the death of Prince Albert in 1861. Queen Victoria went into deep mourning, which served as an example to her subjects when faced with their own bereavements. In this country, the use of mourning jewelry increased during the Civil War, which coincided with Queen Victoria’s widowhood. No matter how you commemorate a loved one. what is most important is that the rituals have significance for you. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, were here to help you to design services that reflect your connection to your beloved family member. We welcome all faiths and denominations.
