Photo courtesy John Bechtold Men of Rappahannock CbuntJ bare all to build school track By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News Staff Writer The world-wide trend of publishing nude calendars for worthy causes has reached rural Rappahannock County and taken a somewhat different twist. A group of prominent Rappahannock men are featured month by month in their birthday suits in a calendar called "The Men of Rappahannock County" which comes *out this week in an initial printing of 5,000 calendars. The men agreed to pose naked to help raise funds for a Rappahannock County High School track which many parents feel is sorely needed. Supporters are hoping to raise as much as they can to help pay for an estimated $250,000 track and field improvements. As Bill Dietel, 76, of Flint Hill, said, "I think all of us did it for the sake of the cause. We were willing to do it for the kids." Dietel is featured prominently in a photo with four other members of the Lunch Bunch at a table at the Flint Hill Public House, one of the sponsors of the calendar. The Rappahannock calendar men include farmers, a hoard of super \i sors candidate, a consultant, a TV celebrity, a cabinetmaker, musician, a blacksmith, a beekeeper, a polo player and members of the Lunch Bunch. The mens ages range from those in their 30s to their 80s and in the calendar they are working at their occupations, whether it i a farmer on a tractor, a polo player >n a horse, a carpenter making a chair or a musician playing a guitar In addition to Dietel, the n : include Peter Kreyling.

Sunnyside wins some, loses some at ARB By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News The flares went up again at last Thursday’s meeting of the Tbwn of Washington’s Architectural Review Board over Sunnyside Farms’ most recent incarnation of its ongoing construction in the center of the town between Gay and Main streets. Reflecting sentiments of some town residents who had thought Sunnyside’s project was to be a simple town park connecting its outbuildings, the Clopton House and the market, board members complained about the project being “too much of a good thing,” “too commercial,” “an outdoor emporium” and “architecturally incompatible.” In a candid session, with gentle prodding and some constructive, carefully-worded criticism, the ARB approved a number of plans for Sunnyside’s project and denied others. One request for signs on two arbor trellises at the principal entrances to the property was withdrawn by Sunnyside representative Jill Spencer in light of the negative “community input” expressed by ARB members during the two and a half -hour discussion. A revised plan brought back to the ARB by Sunnyside included a number of changes, including new wrought iron gates to give protection to the small items on sale at the open Potting Shed, and eight newly designed signs for the property. After protracted discussion of the wrought iron gates that were to be “temporary” because they would be “for sale,” Spencer agreed to make them permanent and put on sale other similar items. But in'the end, with growing concern about the disparate architectural elements in what most felt would be a simple park, the ARB suggested that Sunnyside go back to the drawing board and submit a new plan for closing up the Potting Shed. Throughout the proceedings, ARB members expressed admiration for individual portions of the plan and signs, and acknowledged the commendable goals of Sunnyside in trying to develop a sustainable market for small organic farmers in See ARB, Page A8 Meetings & Notices • The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection will sponsor a forum for all Board of Supervisors candidates on Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m. at The Theater on Gay Street in Washington. • The Town of Washington’s Hanning Commission will meet on Monday, Oct. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Town Hall on Gay Street.

Family of 4-year-old with cerebral palsy gets new van By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Thanks to the generosity of Bubby Settle and a number of friends and customers of Settle’s Cars and Trucks in Flint Hill, four-year old Sidney Dodson and her family received a specially-equipped Chevrolet van on Saturday to help the Dodson family move their child, who has cerebral palsy, from place to place .0 “We live in a great community,” Settle said, presiding over a festive ceremony with balloons and cake. “Our community saw a young family in need and this is how we provide for each other.” Settle presented the van with wheelchair lift to Greg and Shelly Dodson of Flint Hill. Almost speechless when he actually saw the van and its elevator lift for his daughter, Dodson said, “Is this all a joke? I don’t want to cry in front of a bunch of men.” His wife, Sidney, openly expressed her emotion as friends came to hug her and her daughter See VAN, Page A2 School Board candidates speak out By Naomi Smoot-Kimble Rappahannock News Staff Writer With three of five seats up for grabs in this year’s School Board election many are wondering when the candidates stand on issues. Headwaters, in an attempt to provide residents with a better sense of this information, sponsored a forum last Thursday evening at tin Rappahannock County Library. Seven candidates were on hand to share their views on the strengths and weaknesses of Rappahannoc k's school system, as well as their vision for the schools’ curriculum. Meredith Gorfein and Jim Oyster, both vying to represent the Hampton District, were among those on tin , panel. Gorfein said she has lived in'the county with her husband for . years. She has a master’s degree Fine Arts from Boston Univers e and said she has taught high school English. While Gorfein and her husband have no children she nonetheless feels that education of the county's children is important. “I have always been very interesi ed and passionate about education in spite of the fact that I have no children. There’s no more important thing that I can be doing or my tax dollars can be doing,” she said.

This number accounts for nearly one out of every three women who will be diagnosed with cancer in 2003. But there is hope. New treatments and early detection are allowing women to survive the disease and continue living full and healthy lives. “Life goes on. What are your choices,” said Betty Mahoney, a Rappahannock resident who was diagnosed in 1994. Mahoney continued to work as an economist for the Department of Defense even during chemotherapy, never suffering the nausea that is typically associated with the treatment And survivor Ester Settle of Flint Hill has continued her life as well, after a first diagnosis in 1990 and a recurrence in April of this year. Settle finds joy in gardening and has continued to do so for many years.

Ever since a. group of prim 40 to 60 year old women from northern England made a tastefully nude 1999 calendar showing them doing house chores, to raise money for leukemia, the idea has been copied elsewhere. Colorado firefighters, elderly Southern belles in South Carolina, female wool spinners in -Maine and a group of Vermont men have raised funds for such causes as environmental non-profit groups, new community centers, breast cancer and just this week for a local school district by a group of Oregon farmers. In Oregon, as in other places, the calendars have been met with far more enthusiasm than complaints.

Gita Beilin. fundraiser suddenly took a turn when one of the men faced potential criminal charges for being naked on a motorcycle on public property. The rumor mill in the county began working overtime^ some parents reacted with shock and disbelief upon hearing about the calendar—and shortly thereafter on Sept. 9, the School Board issued a statement it didn t want anything to do with it. Furthermore, it threatened legal action if the "friends of the track mentioned any reference to Rappahannock Schools or the track in their fundraising. Six days earlier, the day of the first photo shoot on Sept. 3, Peter Kreyling rode Paul Gall's antique Harley Davidson motorcycle wearing boots and nothing else on Grand View Avenue in Tiger Valley at 7:30 a.m. Photographer Bechtold, hanging out the back of a Ford Explorer driven by Kreyling's wife, Cathy, shot photos of Kreyling driving the motorcycle on the dead end road. Some residents heard the noise, saw the photo shoot and before too long, a deputy showed up at the scene inquiring, "Where’s your helmet?" The deputy took information, gave it to the Sheriff and it was up to Commonwealths Attorney Peter Luke to decide whether to prosecute. After reviewing the information, Luke decided not to do so. "I decided not to press any criminal charges against Peter,” said Luke. "He sent a letter of apology to the residents and acknowledged he used poor judgment in what he did. I don't think he'll do it again. "It was misguided. . .but there were good intentions for a charity." Luke explained that "if a person wants to ride on his own property naked as a jaybird, that's not the state's concern. But when it is on public property it is the state's concern." When the Rappahannock County School Board learned about the fundraiser, it acted as if it didn t want to get near it. We understand your group is planning to publish and sell a calendar containing photos of semi-nude males to support upgrades to the RCHS track," wrote Bob Chappell, School Superintendent to "Friends of the Track.” "Although the schools have in no way sanctioned a fundraiser of this nature, this has the potential to reflect negatively on the schools. Therefore, the Rappahannock County School Board voted unanimously tonight to expressly prohibit the use of the names RCHS Track, RCHS Athletics, the Rappahannock County Public Schools, or any indirect reference to our schools or school facilities in connection with this fundraiser. "The Board is ready to direct its attorney to seek whatever injunctive relief that may be available through the courts should it be determined that this prohibition is violated," Chappell said in the letter. This turn of events saddened parents and supporters of the track but they haven't given up hope. The key organizer of the track fundraiser is Cathy Kreyling whose sister gave her a calendar last Christmas called "The Men of Maple Comer" in which naked men from Vermont set out to raise $30,000 to refurbish their community center. Thev ended up raising close to $500,000. But it was way before that that Cathy Kreyling had wanted to do something about the track For several years, she watched her daughter Anna, now 15, who is on the track team, and other team members when they visited other schools and saw how they looked longingly at the splendid rubberized track surface some of them have. "It's pathetic," said Cathy Kreyling. "We are the only school in the district that doesn't have a track and one of the few in the state. We can never have a track meet here because there are no facilities. "They (Rappahannock track team members) run on a rudimentary track, a blue stone track that goes around the football/soccer field. It has lots of ruts and turns into a mud hole when it rains." Furthermore, she said, "our Calling All Women!

The revised draft ordinance provides a means for the designation of heritage, specimen, memorial or other desirable trees on public and private property, and provides for means for their conservation, as well as for penalties for violation of the ordinance and for replacement of removed trees. All interested persons are invited to attend and to make comment. A copy of the ordinance is available for public inspection during, normal business hours at both die Town Hall and at the County Administration and Zoning Office, both on Gay Street in the Town of Washington. .5 kids have to ask the teachers to move their cars so they can set up hurdles in the parking lot and practice there jumping hurdles." Despite these conditions, RCHS has had a winning girls track team for the past three years, Kreyling said. Kreyling has nothing but praise for the men who posed for the calendar. "These guys had the courage to do something for the county. It takes guts to take your clothes off and be photographed." The calendars will be at Cinema Paradiso Movie Rentals in Washington and Central Coffee in Spenyville. They also will be at Griffin Tavern, a sponsor of the calendar. Other sponsors are Kreyling Construction, Oasis CD, Sunnyside Farms and Sitewhirks, a web site developer in Warrenton. The calendar also may be ordered from the web site, she said, which is www.tmorc.com (which stands for The Men of Rappahannock County). Kreyling said that Washingtonian Magazine is working on an article about the calendar. Tomorrow, Kreyling said, she is going to show a calendar to her School Board representative, Douglas Baumgardner, to receive his input as he was not there when the board voted against it. She said she hopes "if he finds it not offensive" that he wall speak in favor of it before the School Board. If the School Board refuses to accept the fundraising money, Kreyling said she will donate it to another worthwhile cause in the county. Chappell said no decision has been made by the School Board on whether to accept the money. "There are many, many needs this county has," Kreyling said. The proceeds from the calendar will go to benefit the citizens of the county in some way. But I hope it will be for the track.

Van From Page A1 Sidney suffers from two types of CP that, because of her fast and frequent involuntary movements, make everyday chores very difficult for her family and caregivers. Anticipating the future needs of the child, a Sidney Dodson Fund was actually started by sister-in-law Amy Dodson of Sperryville in 1999 and has been growing steadily from the proceeds of various fundraisers. A car wash was held in September and Christmas ornaments and chocolates will be sold in November to raise additional funds for the family. Settle was r especially pleased to say in an interview before the ceremony that the van is now fully paid for. He was proud to point out that the funds were raised in only four hours. Settle expressed special appreciation to the family of the late Mitch Strother of Charlottesville who agreed to sell the van at minimum cost for such a worthy purpose.

VDOT to speak on Rural Rustic Road Program By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News Rappahannock County has many back roads of gravel that look as they did in the late 1800s and early 1900s, but with better road surfaces. They are usually somewhat narrow, winding and many contain a tree canopy providing cool shade in the summer. A new program called the Rural Rustic Road Program aims to keep this traditional niral lane ambience, while improving the road surface within the current right-of-way and not removing trees and other vegetation along edges of the road. Safety, as always, will be the first consideration. VDOT will provide the public with information on its new Rural Rustic Road Program on Oct. 24 during a special presentation sponsored by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. The program is from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Washington Fire Hall. It is the third in RLEFs program series this year called “Treasures of Rappahannock.” In addition to VDOT engineers, other speakers include Sheriff Larry Sherertz, who will speak on road safety and Marc Malik, a landscape architect with the Shenandoah National Park, who will discuss proper roadside maintenance. Those attending the forum will learn about drainage solutions, road safety and enhancing roadside landscaping. Virginia’s Rural Rustic Road Program is the outgrowth of a movement that is catching on elsewhere. Wisconsin started such a program in 1973; Illinois, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania joified in later and Virginia picked up the idea from Maryland. , The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the nation’s leading organization on highway construction for over 50 years, has sanctioned the rural rustic road concept and has provided guidance on its use. Gravel roads qualifying for the program must have light, local traffic, between 50 and 500 vehicles a day. Dead end roads or “loop” roads are good candidates (a “loop” road is one which leaves a paved roadway, loops around and joins another paved roadway). Gravel portions of Piedmont Avenue outside of Washington and Route 624, Sunnyside Orchard Road, off Harris Hollow Road, are examples of dead-end (end of state maintenance) roads that might qualify. VDOTs Garrett Moore and Bob Moore, (Maintenance Engineer, Culpeper District) will give a PowerPoint presentation on the new Rural Rustic Road Program. . Certain criteria must be met for a road or a section of a road to become a candidate for the rural rustic road program. It must be an unpaved road already within the State Secondary System (having a route number of600 or higher), and it must cany at least 50 but no more than 500 vehicles per 24-hour day. The * roadway or roadway section must be predominately used by local drivers, who are familiar with its characteristics. The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors must have endeavored to limit growth on such roadways via the county’s Comprehensive Plan; and the Board, by resolution, must designate each road or road section as a Rural Rustic Road. As to safety, rural roads are known to be the most dangerous what with head-on collisions, vehicles running off the road and turning over, or running off the roads and hitting objects such as trees. Driver inattention, excessive speed, and failure to yield the right of way are the primary causes of accidents. Rappahannock News Photo Don Audette RURAL ROADS: VDOT has suggested this roadway, the gravel dead end of Piedmont Avenue looking back toward Washington, be a candidate for its new Rural Rustic Road program. Town preparing for new wastewater treatment facility By Naomi Smoot-Kimble Rappahannock News Staff Writer Washington Town Council members heard discussion Wednesday regarding preparations for Washington’s new wastewater treatment facility as well as the possible expansion of the town’s Planning Commission from five to seven members. Environmental Systems Service, Ltd. made a second appearance before the council with an estimated cost for consultation fees. The town has asked the company to assist in finding the most cost-efficient engineering firm for their upcoming wastewater treat ment project, and to determine which of the two sites being considered for construction is best suited for the project. According to company representative Donald Hearl their initial services to the town will occur in two phases. The first of these, he said, will be a review of the documentation which already exists regarding the properties. This phase, which he said would likely cost the town $2,500 with fees ranging between $55 and $80 an hour, would be completed in two to three weeks. After determining which of the properties is better suited CCLC sponsors fundraiser and gala event on Nov. 8 The doom will open at the Washington School on Mt. Salem Avenue for the eighth annual Fall Auction and Party sponsored by the Child Care and Learning Center on Saturday, Nov. 8 at 5:30 p.m. This gala event is now the only fundraising event of the year for CCLC. This huge undertaking is spearheaded by the Friends of CCLC, a committee of volunteers headed by Amy Burnett. The entrance fee of $20 will help cover the cost of the lavish spread of food and drink that is part of the evening’s festivities. Guests will be invited to browse through the Sursum Corda Shoppe, for priced antiques and collectibles; sign up for any of the more than 40 items and services for bid at the silent auction tables in the Board room; and get a close look at the impressing array of furniture and quality items displayed upon the stage that will be auctioned off beginning at 7 p.m. Bill Payne and his family will be donating their professional auction services once again. CCLC will take checks, credit cards and, of course, cash. A Preview Night will be held at the Washington School on Friday, Nov. 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. Only live and silent auction items will be available for preview. CCLC! is accepting absentee bids on that evening for individuals who will not be able to attend the Saturday night auction. Nothing will be sold in advance. All funds from this auction will go toward the Scholarship Fund for the preschool and school age programs. CCLC mainstreams the economically disadvantaged and developmental^ delayed children with families who can afford full tuition by soliciting donations for scholarship. The Center also provides Rappahannock’s Head Start program for 18 three and four year olds. “We meet the needs of families, without regards to economic status, by blending funding streams of private donations, public and private grants, tuition, and fundraising events like the auction. CCLC is more than a charity, more than a private school,” says Rose Ann Sharp, Executive Director. “We would not be here today, celebrating our 27th anniversary of service to families in Rappahannock if it were not for community donor Support. We could never afford to have the quality of programs we have today in this rural community without hardworking volunteers and Board members who donate time and talents to help raise funds to supplement the tuition collected. I cannot say enough about the CCLC Board, the CCLC Friends, and the dozens of loyal donors who support us year after year.” Private Chef & Caterer v, Fresh from California ' Enjoy delicious healthy meals.

This second phase would cost an additional $1,500. Council member Rinehart Lynch moved to accept Hearl’s proposal and to move forward with phase one of the project. His fellow council members unanimously agreed. In other matters, Mayor Gene Leggett opened the floor to public comment regarding a possible expansion of the town’s Planning Commission from five to seven members. Several town residents spoke out on the issue. Current chairman of the town Planning Commission, Barbara Stockton felt strongly against the possible additions. “I just don’t think we have a need for anyone else,” she said.

Meredith Gorfein Hampton District Jim Oyster Hampton District Wes Mills Jackson District Ron Makela Jackson District L Ken Marlor Stonewall-Hawthorne Sharon Kilpatrick Stonewall-Hawthorne Rosa Crocker Wakefield District CANDIDATES From Page A1 the county’s schools was Gorfein said it was the children, all of which are filled with boundless possibilities. “We have to work to get the community to understand they are our responsibility even if they are not our children. We are all part of the fabric of our community,” she said. Gorfein’s statements, like several others, included opposition to the recently implemented No Child Left Behind Act. “The ‘leave no child behind’ slogan isn’t a slogan that works for me,” she said. She feels that this method of education requires schools to constantly look over their shoulder, instead of looking forward to the dreams she feels they should have. Oyster, her opponent, has lived in the county with his wife and six children for 15 years. He currently has four children in Rappahannock’s schools, he said. A graduate of Duke University, Oyster is a lawyer and coach pf the high school’s golf team. He has also served on the county’s library board as well as being among a group of residents who raised funds for the creation of a new football program at the high school last year. He agreed that children were a strong point for the schools but felt that faculty and the county’s volunteer spirit were equally important. Oyster concurred with Gorfein that the schools needed to find a creative form of funding, saying that the amount of money which Rappahannock received from the state was not in keeping with their needs. “I don’t believe that the amount of funding that Rappahannock gets is fair,” he said. His vision for the schools future included teaching children more than just the basics required to pass the state’s Standard of Learning tests. He instead hopes the schools will be able to instill a passion for learning in each child’s heart. “If they’re learning to love to learn that will last them a life time,” he said. Also on hand that evening were Ron Makela and Wes Mills, running for the Jackson seat. Both individuals have previously served on the board, and both have children in the school system. Makela, whose wife teaches at the elementary school, sees the schools’ staff as its greatest strength. He said that the schools have a great team which includes more than just teachers. From janitors to bus drivers to cafeteria workers, all, he said, must work together to make the schools successful. “Without them our teachers would be lost,” he said. The schools are not without their weaknesses though, and for him this includes the budgeting process, which he says should occur earlier in the year to allow for easier project completion as well as more competitive hiring practices. Makela hopes the schools will relax more in the future in the face of SOLs. He said they appear to be successful on these tests now, and thus it is time to relax and allow teachers to teach in a manner with which they are comfortable. He feels such practices would result in higher faculty retention rates, something which he sees as a problem in recent years. Mills, who currently holds the seat and has been chairman of the board for the past three years, was impressed with the schools’ teachers and their administration as well. “Our teachers seem to be where the rubber hits the road,” he said. He hopes the schools are headed in a direction that will allow them to be competitive when the voucher system, which he sees as inevitable, finally emerges. He hopes parents will choose to send their children to public school, not Cancer From Page A1 her church and community as well. Ellen Timbers, also of Rappahannock, is nearing the one year anniversary of her radiation treatments. Diagnosed last August, Timbers underwent her first surgery that September. This was followed by the removal of additional tissue that October and radiation treatments the following month. “Sometimes I look back and it doesn’t seem like a year. For the most part I’ve been able to keep up my routine,” said Timbers. She said her cancer was detected during her annual mammogram. The diagnosis was far from expected for the 46-year-old who works in Culpeper on the Community Services Board. “It was a shock. I was surprised but glad that they caught it early,” she said. Mahoney was also surprised. While she had expected a diagnosis at some point since her mother had also had the disease, she had anticipated it to occur much later in life. At age 55 Mahoney detected her lump during a selfexam. For this reason, even though the American Cancer Society has ceased their push of monthly self-exams, she feels they are vital to early detection. Women, she said, should know their breasts, be aware of changes and not depend solely on mammograms, especially since hers did not detect the cancer. “Some people,” she said, “think, ‘Gee I’ve had my mammogram, I’m home free.’” But this just isn’t true, she said. The exams are important though, and Mahoney says 90 percent of cancers can be detected this way. She has even begun urging her 30year-old daughter to get examined. “I’ve already started picking on her to get a baseline mammogram,” she said. Timbers agrees, “Early detection is the key to survival.” And once detection has occurred there are other things which she feels are vital to recovery. “Being positive certainly helps. It does make a big difference when you have support,” she said. For her, this support was her family and friends. For Mahoney it was her church, co-workers and Reach for Recovery volunteers. Reach for Recovery, she said, is a group of survivors who volunteer to meet with patients undergoing treatment. The group, of which she is now a member, delivers pillows and other materials to patients, as well as providing them with much needed support. The bottom line? Timbers said, “It’s something you have to keep dealing with. You have to keep going.” FREE INSPECTION Protect your home. Permanently.

Kilpatrick has been filling the seat since late this summer, when it was left vacant by the death of board member Franklin Warner. A reporter and editor, first for the Rappahannock News and more recently for Rapplinks.com, she believes she has attended more school board meetings than anyone else. Kilpatrick expressed concern regarding the number of children in the county being educated at home and at private institutions. She said she wished parents did not feel the need to send their children elsewhere to get a first-rate education. She also expressed concerns about the new No Child Left Behind Act, which she referred to as a game of “Gotcha!” She said the state is requiring that all children meet a level of proficiency, even when some of them simply are not proficient. She felt it unfair for the state to require schools to attain such levels of achievement from all students, including those who are mentally disabled and lack proficiency in English.

This rapport with local residents, he added, needs to include educating tax payers about how their money is being spent at the schools. The schools’ greatest asset, he said, were the county’s children. 'His concerns included ensuring that teachers have all the tools needed to successfully educate students. He also hopes that the county’s education system will be able to keep up with potential growth in the future. He hopes that the schools will be able to stay r as strong as they are now and be as good as they are now when his two-year-old granddaughter begins school. Also speaking was candidate Rosa Crocker, who has served longer than any other member on the board and is running unopposed for the Wakefield seat. Crocker said she hopes the schools will be second to none, but in order to do this many programs must be added, including more extracurricular activities and a better track. She also hopes to close the gap on the number of students wanting to go to college, and those that graduate from four year universities. I Imported cars aren’t foreign to us.

Five months ago, a controversial issue arose in Rappahannock County when this newspaper published news stories, letters to the editor and an editorial on the problem of junk cars accumulating on private property in apparent violation of county law. Since 1986, Rappahannock County has had an ordinance making it unlawful to keep more than two inoperable or junk vehicles on any property unless they are fully enclosed in a building. Even a casual observer driving down the highways and byways of the county can spot what appear to be numerous violations of this ordinance. Collections of rusty old pickups and sedans can be seen along Fodderstack Road and Scrabble Road and other back roads of the county, while the most prominent and infamous display of junked vehicles rests virtually at the front door of the new Rappahannock National Bank on the county’s main drag, Highway 211. After the late Dr. Werner Krebser, literally on his deathbed, decided to speak out on this issue in May, we editorially called on the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors "to enforce the ordinance throughout the county and cause those jalopies to find a better home." The county's response was to pass the buck to County Attorney Peter Luke to study the issue. Mr. Luke said then that the problem was "being looked into" by his office. Fair enough. It's always wise to study the legalities before plunging into action. But Mr. Luke now informs us that he has provided his findings and legal advice to the Board of Supervisors in executive session, that is, behind closed doors, and he can’t tell us what he told them. So the ball is back in the supervisors' court and it is up to them to decide if they are going to enforce the ordinance or not. Last May, when Dr. Krebser raised this issue, he said, "We have an ordinance on junk cars, but nobody wants to enforce it." Is that still the case? If the junk-car ordinance is to be enforced, it should be enforced fairly and fully, not targeting just one offender but all who violate it. Citizens can help in this effort by reporting apparent violations of the ordinance to the County Administrator’s office. Under current practice, the county won't take enforcement action unless someone complains about a junk-car site. So, consider this a complaint that it’s about time to stop studying this issue and start doing something about it. Rappahannock Today in m * Rappahannock News Photo/Ryan K. Morris Rich Booth slowly, but steadily, makes his way up one of the many steep and hilly roads of Rappahannock County during the Seventh Annual Rappahannock Rough Ride last weekend. The annual event benefits the Rappahannock County Free Clinic in Washington and the Fauquier County Free Clinic. Letters Lighting ordinance: ‘citizens should welcome it’ Thank you for your very kind words in the Oct. 9 Rappahannock News about our work. As is often the case, it is the work of many that makes the ones standing out front look good. Our citizens should welcome this ordinance. The proposed ordinance is for NEW BUSINESSES ONLY—facilities that require a site plan. Existing lighting is grand fathered. The proposed ordinance contains NO restrictions on existing businesses unless they upgrade their lighting. It contains NO restrictions on residences. Lighting ordinances are not just for the dark skies and tree hugger geeks. A lighting ordinance will make our county safer. Here is why. You are in bed and want a drink of water. You get up, go to the bathroom, switch on the 60-watt light and get your water. You switch off the light. You know you should wait until you regain your night vision, but your toes are cold and you head to bed. When you stub your toe, you scold yourself for being in such a hurry. Now let’s put a four-watt night light in that bathroom. You get your drink, and go back to bed without incident. The same is true if you drive into a gas station that is brightly lit. You will have night blindness for a while after you reenter the highway. And it will get worse as you get older. But what about safety from robbers and rapists? The bad guys love bright lights. They know you can’t see them in the dark edges created by the bright lights. But they can see you perfectly. Motion activated lights are much more effective in preventing crime. The proposed lighting ordinance does not discourage lighting. It encourages effective lighting. Seeing the Milky Way and being safer can’t be all that bad. Gwen Hays Amissville Fire prevention, smoke alarms I read the fire prevention letter from the Chester Gap Fire Company in the Oct. 9 issue of the Rappahannock News. I understand and support the letter, but sometimes I wonder if I am still living in the country. At age 67, we continue to heat with wood (cutting and splitting keeps me in some kind of shape.) I’m sure everyone knows that wood stoves emit smoke whenever, and that gusty northwest winds can create huge down drafts in fireplaces. There are days at our house when smoke alarms would sound almost constantly—for events of little moment. But I do have a smoke alarm. My wife can smell smoke at one part per trillion. Does she count? (She does with me—and often has me up at ungodly hours checking out the situation.) Bob Dennis Flint Hill ‘New lighting ordinance not wanted by most citizens’ Hurricane Isabel took away our power here in Amissville for two days and an early winter storm several years ago caused an outage for five days. For all the lovers of darkness I guess these interruptions could be desirable but for myself growing up in South Dakota in the 1930s it brought back memories of long nights of darkness from sundown till sun up. Kerosene lamps and lanterns were not that great. When my grandparents received an Aladdin lamp on their 50th anniversary it was like a miracle to have enough light that we could stay up late to play games, read and write. Later when we moved into a small town that had real electric fights powered by a small local power plant on a nearby river it was like another miracle. When we moved to Amissville 35 years ago we had a security light installed just like our neighbors. We don’t have to live and work in the dark anymore and when a fellow citizen wants to lay in their pickup at night to enjoy their stargazing hobby that’s fine but don’t make the rest of us pay by dimming our fights. People raised in the country appreciate and eiyoy their fights maybe more than city raised folks so be considerate of your country neighbors and maybe you’ll learn to love them also. Every time our county officials get pushed into adopting another ordinance by the same vocal minority we all pay the price both in the erosion of our basic freedoms and increased tax bills. It sure would have been helpful to have had the long delayed and fumbled cell phone service we are lawfully entitled to as a backup to our regular land line service when Isabel hit. When the county adopts an ordinance I’ve noticed it seems easy to come back later and make changes. Will a lighting ordinance adopted now be the same ordinance a year or so from now. It’s like the camel with his nose under the tent. First the nose then the whole enchilada. A new fighting ordinance is not wanted or needed by the majority of citizens. Just ask your neighbors. Instead of implementing a new fighting ordinance a higher priority should be to clean up the 70 year old toxic waste dump owned by the county on 6.88 acres right in the very heart of the village of Amissville. The EPA says these old dumps are like ticking time bombs and you never know when they will put your lights out permanently. Robert EL Lindquist Amissville Steve Butler will be ‘a great sheriff Steve Butler will bring a new vitality to law enforcement in Rappahannock County. Steve’s proven law enforcement and management skills will make him a great sheriff. I know he will work well with our citizens and make us proud of the work of the Sheriff’s Office.

Alvin Henry AmissviUe Steve Butler: ‘outstanding credentials’ enforcing laws The citizens of Rappahannock are indeed fortunate to have Steve Butler of Boston as a candidate for Sheriff. Steve comes to us with outstanding credentials in the field of law enforcement. He served as an Air Force enlisted man, served on the Metropolitan Police force of Washington, D. C., served with the U. S. Secret Service Uniformed Division and as supervisor of private security. Steve served in the protection of the President, The Vice President, The White House, foreign embassies, United Nations and the International Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Not only does he have the law enforcement background training but also he has family ties to this county. He will serve the community with . respect. He has grandchildren ' in the local public schools so being ever watchful over the threat of drug situations is a priority. He feels that he can improve the morale in the Sheriff’s Department and lower the turnover rate of the personnel who have already received training. Steve feels that the county police can and should work closer with the Virginia State police and take advantage of their training / and help.

RCHS volleyball teams finish week with exciting wins By Chris Ehrhart Special to the Rappahannock News October 6-10 marked another successful week for the Rappahannock County High School volleyball teams. Both teams improved their records with the JV team now standing at 7-3 (2-2 in the Bull Run district) and the Varsity team finishing the week at 13-1 (4-0 in the district). On Thursday, RCHS hosted district rival Strasburg. In varsity play, Strasburg and Rappahannock, both undefeated in the district, were hoping to go home with a win and the number one spot. With excellent serving, recording 10 aces, the Panthers won the first game 25-13. Strasburg, determined to claim the number one spot, won the next two games, 25-21 and 25-23. Strasburg jumped ahead 6-2 in the fourth game. Rappahannock, the defending district champions, would not give up. The Panthers tied the score at 10 all. Rappahannock then had a six point nm to gain a 16-10 lead. Strasburg slowly chipped away at Rappahannock’s lead. With the score tied 21 all, Rappahannock regained the serve. RCHS was able to score four consecutive points to win the game 25-21 and push the match to a fifth deciding game. The excitement level in the gym was high, with many fans on their feet. RCHS jumped ahead in game five and nevfir looked back. With a 13-7 lead, the Panthers regained the serve and finished off the Rams 15-7. RCHS won the match 3-2 and claimed the top spot in the Bull Run District. Highlights of the match included 39 kills with Ryisha Cook tallying 18, Anna Kreyling 12, Mattie Nawrocki five, Danielle Hiserman three, and Lara Kreyling, one. Lara Kreyling assisted in 32 of the kills. Anna had 12 blocks and Ryisha had nine. Hoping to even their record, the JV squad took the floor. Strasburg, the defending JV champions, scored first. However, with aggressive net play Rappahannock was able to rally and take the lead. Strasburg responded with a few aces, but RCHS was able to pull out a 25-21 win. In the second game Strasburg again scored first and took the lead. The young lady Panthers again continued to dominate at the net tallying many kills and even a few blocks, rare at the JV level. Rappahannock was able to put Strasburg away 25-19 to win game two and the match 2-0. Highlights of the night include five aces from Rebecca Tupper, four from Christina Naramore, two from Elvira Yanez and one from Nicole Brown. Samantha Brown had RCHS varsity volleyball player Ryisha Cook prepares to receive a serve from Strasburg in the exciting final game, bringing Rappahannock to.victory, winning the match 3-2 and claiming the top spot in the Bull Run District. eight kills, Rebecca had three, and Christina and Nicole each recorded one kill. Samantha also had three blocks. The first match of the week was on Tuesday with RCHS taking on the Clarke County Eagles at Clarke. The JV teams played first. Rappahannock scored first, but Clarke rallied to even the score at 7. With two aces from one of the Eagle servers, Clarke won the first game 27-25. In the second game, which seemed to be a reflection of the first, both teams continued to play hard. With the RCHS cross country team defeats Strasburg, 23-34 By Allen Comer Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock County High School boys’ cross country team traveled to Strasburg on Oct. 8 to race the Rams in a district dual meet. The dual meet with Strasburg marked the end of the regular season for the RCHS boys with the Bull Run District Meet to be held at the Bleu Rock Inn on Oct. 22 at 2 p.m. Tackling a very hilly 3.1 mile course, the RCHS harriers captured five of the first seven positions to defeat Strasburg High School, 23-34. Kevin Martin won the race with a time of 20:24 while Alex Ramey (21:09), Josh Makela (21:15), Dos Allen (21:30) and Brian Brown (21:51) finished in spots four through seven. Larry Oliver ran a close ninth (22:00), finishing ahead of six other SHS runners. JV runner Owen Monroe completed the course with a time of 30:54. Strasburg’s L. Grant won the girls’ competition with a time of 27:12. RCHS golf team Brian Taylor, Jacob Dodson and Ben Hahn represented Rappahannock County High School at the Region B Golf Tbumament held Oct. 7 at Wintergreen Resort. In a match that saw most competitors shooting 90 or higher, the cut-off score for advancing to the state championship was an 83. Taylor came close to qualifying, shooting an 86 for the day. Halm and Dodson shot rounds of 93 and 96, respectively. Freshman Football The RCHS freshman football team spotted the Panthers of Page County over 30 points in the first half, losing 38-21. The RCHS team played a respectful second half, outscoring the Page team, but could not overcome the first-half deficit. Irving Smith scored twice for RCHS while David Clement added the third touchdown on a long kick-off return. Coach Clinedinst was particularly pleased with the play of his special teams unit and the defensive effort of Shane Tucker, but stated that “we need to come out in the first half like we did in the second to be competitive.” The Panther freshman team’s next game is an Oct. 22 home contest at 4 p.m. against Luray High School.

ARB From Page A1 Rappahannock County, a theme that Spencer addressed in defense of their overall plan. The protracted debate of the ARB focused on how little “historic, Revolutionary Washington, Virginia" has been dramatically altered architecturally bv the “over-the-top” commercialism of Sunnyside’s ongoing development. ARB member Patrick O’Connell generally praised Sunnyside and its stated goals but pointed out that the criticism “is not about the quality of individual items, but the vast array of architectural elements being put together in such a small space.” He added, “There is no problem in adding a beautiful gate. Each (item) by itself is fine but 36 different architectural elements together cause a problem.” ARB Chairman Ed Barton followed by observing that Umpiring IfwugfitA by Randy Minter ROOTED IN THE COMMUNITY Planning the funeral of a loved one is likely to be a deeply emotional and personal experience that begs to be shared with those with whom the grief-stricken have a direct relationship. When you choose to enlist the services of a locally owned and operated, independent funeral home, you are, in essence, working with extended family. With a personal relationship with the community that goes back many years, a locally owned funeral home has developed a sensitivity to the needs of the community of which it is. itself, a part. This, combined with an ongoing commitment to provide affordable, high quality services, builds trust with our neighbors that helps see them through difficult periods in their lives. Trust Ls the basis of every effective relationship. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, we have earned the trust of this community through years of caring service and dedication to meeting peoples needs since 1836. Call us at 347-3431 to set up an appointment. "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are..." ~Theodore Roosevelt “Robert Adams (18th century neo-classical architect* and Frank Lloyd Wright were outstanding architects but they don’t exist very well together " Member Charles Kevis stated, “In the historical context, this is not in the context of historical Washington, Virginia.” Expressing the sentiments of other town residents with whom they had spoken, ARB members said that there was a general feeling that the construction underway is "considerably more lavish" than what originally had been contemplated. Some expressed strong concerns that what had originally been presented as a “town park" or walkway among the historic buildings on Main and Gay Street had in fact become an “outdixir emporium." Board member Donna Kevis amusingly referred to the columned courtyard as the “Temple of Diana" although she quickly added that it was "beautiful in many ways, especially at night, if you didn't stumble over the vast quantities of tables and chairs for sale.” Donna Kevis and others also pointed out that it was, in its totality, “too much, too many tables and chairs, too many clay cows, concrete mushrooms, and other merchandise that made it look like an open-air bazaar." The issue of the eight proposed signs generated the most controversy of the evening. While the legality of what Sunnvside was requesting was not in question, the issue of whether the proposal was “architecturally'compatible” was uppermost in everyone’s mind. O’Connell, expressing sentiments heard from other board members, said this property was going to be the “mostsigned place in town and will visually alter the est hetics of the historic town ” Donna Kevis who stressed from the start that she has always been an enthusiastic supporter of Sunnvside said, “We must look at the question of signs in the context of Historical’ Little Washington. The signs are attractive and very clever but do you really need that many signs?” She concluded that she "strongly supports what the Cole's have done but ‘enough is enough.’ "Tb a greater degree," she cautioned, “you must be more sensitive to what you are doing. It has become too much of a good thing.” Tbwards the end of the session, Buddy Darden, an architect from Flint Hill and a member of the audience, suggested that there might be room for compromise to resolve this issue. O’Connell and other* members of the board promptly picked up on this idea and a compromise was agreed upon. A number of ARB members felt that the trellises were originally presented as a “thing of beauty . . . with vines softening the effect of these large architectural elements," but in fact they have become an “apparatus for hanging large signs not contemplated originally.” Sharp Rock Vineyards - Nos Listing Well established vineyard;winery and country estate located on 24*-/acrcs w I SMI's home, winery, barns. 2 cottages and vineyard.

O’Connell suggested that smaller medallion signs would be in “better taste" and look less like a “pavilion at the World’s Fair." Donna Kevis and others suggested that the trellis signs needed a bit more “noodling” before they were brought back for approval to the ARB. Of the eight signs originally proposed, the ARB approved four: the Sunnyside Mercantile, Sunnyside Market, Potting Shed and Dog gone Cat. Two sign proposals for the entrance trellis were deemed too large and were withdrawn by Sunnyside for further design and reapplication to the board. Approval of two other sign proposals (the “Wake-Up Coffee” sign and the “Ice Cream Cone” proposal) was dropped when Sunnyside agreed to make them “sandwich signs" that would not then need an ARB vote. r Rappahannock News Phonos Richard Lykes NEW LOOK: Sunnyside Farms' new columned courtyard which connects several of its buildings, including The Clopton House, Sunnyside Market and a new cat and dog gift shop, was discussed at length at last week's ARB meeting. The “sandwich signs” and the Ice Cream Cone sign would be brought out in the morning and “put to bed" at night. Strongly supporting the “general concept” of Sunnvside’s plans, Chairman Barton pointed out that all town residents, and certainly Cole, want his enterprises to be successful but acceptable to the community. “It’s just looking too commercial. There are too many signs and people will explode if we approve them," the ARB chairman said. Expressing her company’s concern and appreciation for the “community input,” Spencer thanked the board for its comments and again stressed the company’s goals of creating a model for sustainable communities and organic farming. “Sunnyside certainly wants Tl Clore-fcrtglish • r unr PAi hoMr • "Families Serving Families" Unparalleled Service Since 1830, the Benchmark of Funeral Service 11190 James Monroe Highway (Rt. 29 South) Culpeper, VA Wayne English, Funeral Director 540-825-2361 Kristen Privett, Funeral Director www.cloreenglish.com Toys for Tots Sponsor www.keymemories.com RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY - The Mill Manager’s house in historic Laurel Mills, on seven acres with frontage on the Thornton River.

Get out and play: , ■ Shenandoah National Park only short drive away By Naomi Smoot-Kimble Rappahannock News Staff Writer The the children are back in school, the pools are closed and the grills are heading into hibernation. There is no need to head indoors just yet though. After all, with more than 500 miles of trails winding through nearby Shenandoah National Park who wouldn’t want to head outside to play one last time, especially in the fall foliage. Shenandoah National Park, just north of Sperryville, contains something for everyone, from the Skyline Drive with scenic views and overlooks, to trails for families and avid hikers alike. Steve Bair, Back Country Wilderness and Trail Manager at the park, said that while most of the park’s visitors are Virginia natives some travel from out of state, and even overseas, to view this up-close version of nature. He said the park is “a hiker’s mecca,” and “a good place for folks to get away,” especially during the park’s peak season in autumn. And it’s easy to see why so many people visit. Driving on the winding Skyline Drive one is surrounded by lush forests and wonderful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains towering over nearby valleys. It is not uncommon for traffic to slow to a crawl as a family of deer bound through nearby grass or as a Black Bear cub waddles slowly across the road. “The Skyline Drive itself is a draw for a lot of folks. A lot of people come to the park to eryoy the views from the Skyline Drive,” Bair said. But the park also offers a variety of hikes, Bair said. One such trail he said, is Traces Trail a two mile circuit which encircles Mathews Arm Campground, roughly ten miles north of the park entrance off Route 211. This trail boasts views of old farms, roads and orchards and according to Bair is well suited for families. Bair said it has other draws as well. He said it is a relatively easy hike which stays close to developed areas such as the campground, and the rangers which are stationed there. Susan Elkworth of D.C. was out recently for her first hike on this trail. “I’m excited,” she said. “I just like to get out of the city. This is the closest and best hiking in the area.” Les Warnell of Warrenton also enjoyed the trail and said that he comes to the park nearly every weekend. “It’s my escape. I’m here the first day the park opens and the last day before it closes,” he said. Warnell has been pleased with his experiences hiking and camping in the park. “All the trails are good trails. It’s easy to get through them. They keep them all cleared,” he said. The down side to Traces Trail? There are some large rocks which may not be, for everyone, and pets are prohibited. Bair also suggested Mount Marchel, an Appalachian Trail Crossing, as a See PARK, Page B2 Photo courtesy Shenandoah National Park AWAY FROM IT ALL: Backpackers hiking in Shenandoah National Park pause and gaze at the beauty of the valley and the spectacular views. Civil War group to hold talk on preserving graves By Rob Sherwood Special to the Rappahannock News Since the fall of 1999, G. V. “Dink” Godfrey, Jr., has been a man in pursuit of a great passion: preserving the Civil War confederate graves of Fauquier County—all of them. So far, that means 1,300 graves. Eight hundred of them have been photographed. Eighty-five percent (1,105) of the names on these graves have had their military units confirmed. And for over 160 of the names on the graves Godfrey has obtained a picture of the Confederate soldier. Godfrey will discuss the results of his considerable research at the next meeting of the Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table on Tuesday, Oct. 21 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Public Library. In his 27th year as a real estate broker, Godfrey spends all his spare time on the project. Begun a little over three a V. “Dink” Godfrey, Jr. years ago, this process has become an overriding passion in his life. He has logged thousands of hours on the Internet, especially going over the pension records available in the Virginia State Library system. He has logged hundreds of hours in Virginia libraries, including the Library of Virginia in Richmond, the Bull Run Regional Library in Manassas and the Virginiana Room at the Fauquier County Public Library. And he has logged over 2,000 hours searching through cemeteries, looking for gravestones or other information that might indicate the person buried there served in the Confederate Army. “I have found about 10 to 12 confirmed as Union,” he adds. Godfrey was born in Fauquier County and has lived there all his life. He has three known great-great-grandfathers buried there out of at least 18 relatives who fought for the Confederacy. Since 1999, he has been the Commander of Black Horse ('amp #780 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Several years ago, this heritage organiza tion requested that each camp begin a graves registration effort for their respective county which is what set Godfrey on his quest. “Even after four or five trips to a cemetery,” says Godfrey, “I may see another stone that belongs to a, Confederate Veteran.” He explains that sometimes poverty played a role in obscuring a veteran’s grave. “In many instances, the wife of a Confederate soldier died before the veteran. When the husband died, a second marker was not erected, or the wife’s stone was not inscribed with the husband’s information. If I can find a gravestone for the wife, but not the husband, I can usually locate the veteran’s grave with copper wires, using them as a dowser would use them.” Godfrey has compiled an impressive database of the 1,300 Confederate soldiers buried in Fauquier County. This information also is being compiled into a Fauquier County Confederate Calendar, a web site and a book. The book will show a thumbnail sketch of the Confederate soldier’s grave stone and, when possible, a photo of the veteran. What started out as “a simple inventory” for Godfrey “has turned into a work of loving remembrance for our departed Confederate ancestors,” he says. “Many of the tombstones are being lost to the ravages of time and vandals,” he says. “Many markers in place 50 years ago have been lost to future generations. Photographs of existing gravestones, properly identified and published, should survive many stones in place today.” For more information about this program or about the Civil War Round Table, contact Rob Sherwood at (540) 987-8596. Smithsonian concert series opens at The Theatre Oct. 25 By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock New* The twelfth season in the Smithsonian at Little Washington concert series opens on Saturday, Oct. 25 at 8 p.m. at The Theatre on Gay Gay Street in Washington. The Castle Trio, with guest violist Steven Dann, will play the music of Schubert and Brahms: the Trio in Bflat Major by Schubert and the G Minor Piano Quartet by Brahms. The highly acclaimed Castle Trio comprises Grammy Award winning pianist Lambert Orkis, violinist Marilyn McDonald and cellist Kenneth Slowik. As soloists and with the Castle Trio, each of them has toured world-wide and has numerous recordings to their credit. Early in his career, Steven Dann, a native of Canada, was named Principal Viola of the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa, a posi1 tion he also held with the Tonhalle Orchestra in Zurich, the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, the Vancouver Symphony and the Toronto Symphony. As a soloist, he has performed with orchestras .throughout Canada and Europe. For this concert Lambert Orkis will be playing a relatively new v instrument, made in this country, which incorporates features of several Viennese pianos of the mid-nine tecnth century. It is very much in keeping with the instrument which was given to Robert and Clara Schumann at the time of their marriage in 1840 and which passed to Brahms on Schumann’s death. Brahms was using that instrument at the time he composed the piano quartet which will be heard at the upcoming concert. The distinctly fortepiano-like sound is occasionally heard nowa days in concerts of music by Schubert, but rarely of music by Brahms. This concert will give the audience an unusual opportunity to hear Brahms played very much as it would have sounded in his own day. Tickets 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» 6751253 or send an email to TheatreVA@aol.com.

Patty Hardee will start the evening with “Susan’s Revenge”: How can two adolescent girls get revenge against a bunch of pestering, obnoxious adolescent boys? Patty’s best friend, Susan, who has “the soul of the devil,” turns out to possess the perfect answer. Jane Coon returns to Ki Theatre's “No Ordinary Person” after several years' hiatus to relate her tale, “Rain and Mrs. Karve,” about how' one of nature’s most basic elements may have almost totally different meanings in two different cultures, the Indian and the American. And Mary Carlson carries the subject of different cultures further along with her funny piece, “In the Employ of a Spanish Domestic,” about the time she and her family lived in Spain and tried to persuade their hired Spanish muchacha to actually work for them rather than the other way around. Rabbi Carla Theodore rounds out See Kl, Page B4 Moviegoers: stand up and cheer for ‘Seabiscuit’ By Joanne HimSpecial to the Rappahannock New« Sleek, beautiful and packed with emotion, “Seabiscuit” is full of heart, and a movie worthy of its unlikely yet glorious subject: Depression-era America's best-loved racehorse and the two races that made him a legend. One of the best sports films of the past 10 years, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community is showing this film at The Theatre on Gay Street in Little Washington on Friday, Oct. 17 at 8 p.m. Based on Laura Hillenbrand’s superb 2001. book, this movie from writer-director Gary Ross <“Pleasantville”) is a triumph of old-fashioned craftsmanship and a heartfelt evocation of the Depression years that can make you feel a little misty. Thanks to its dynamic cast, headed by Tobey Maguire, Chris Cooper and Jeff Bridges, it is also an emotional powerhouse. Hillenbrand's spellbinding chronicle painted Seabiscuit as a phenomenon of the Depression. He was so popular that, in his heyday from 1936 to 1940, audiences of millions, including President Franklin D Roosevelt, faithfully followed his races. In 1938, this undersized, overweight, feisty California horse outpolled even' human being on the planet, including runner-up FDR, as that year’s biggest newsmaker.

Flint Hill Baptist Church approaches 150 years By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News The historic Flint Hill Baptist Church celebrated a special Homecoming Service this Sunday in Flint Hill as it approaches its 150th year since its founding. Some 50 members and guest churchgoers gathered to celebrate and worship in the old church now on both the Virginia Landmarks and National Historic Places registers. The highlight of the services for many were the old familiar hymns sung in a resounding baritone by Randy Campbell and a duet in harmony by Julie Dean and Stephen Eastham. After the services, ladies of the church, including trustee Arland Welch, invited the assembled group to join the pastor, Karl Burke, and others at the Flint Hill Fire Hall for a lavish home-cooked dinner. Park From Page B1 possibility for families spending a day in the park. This hike, which is near mile post 16 is said to include a one mile trek out to bluffs with views of the Blue Ridge, and a one mile hike back to the starting point. Bair referred to this hike as “not terribly strenuous.” Other options include a series of hikes near the Dickey Ridge Visitor Center. Bair said many people chose the Snead Farm hike, which begins as a walk through a field of purple sage across from the center, and proceeds deeper into the woods on a cleared dirt path leading to a barn which is part of an abandoned apple orchard. Six year old Tianchen Sun of Maryland took this hike with his family. “I liked seeing the frogs in the pond,” he said. He added that he was excited about the possibility of seeing bears on the trail. His family, he said, had spent the 1.6 mile hike clapping, as Park Rangers say this will keep the animals at bay. “It’s part of the fun,” Sun said. The Snead trail is very accessible, with one family even pushing a stroller along its gentle downhill slope. Also, unlike Traces Trail, dogs are welcome. Those seeking a longer hike can lengthen this trail by adding the Dickey Hill Loop to the walk. This brings the total time required for completion to 2 1/2 hours. Another equally accessible trail, said park official Brooke Downing, is the Limber Lost trail, the park’s handicap accessible trail. This path, she said, includes minimal slope. It is covered in cinder and is wheel chair accessible. The hike, which is near Mile Post 43, South of the Park’s 211 entrance, winds through a former Hemlock Forest recently damaged by the Hemlock wolly adelgid, a predator of the trees. Regardless of which trail one picks, Bair said, it is imperative to come prepared. He said one should make sure they have proper clothing, food, water and adequate time to complete the hike they have chosen. In case the hike takes longer than expected, he said, one should bring along a flashlight. He also suggested that visitors stop by one of the information centers. And last but not least, he said, groups should choose trails keeping their slowest and least experienced hikers in mind. After selecting the trail and making adequate preparations there is only one thing left, enjoy the natural wonders which are Rappahannock’s next door neighbor.

Ki From Page BI the first half of the evening with “Pianissimo,” the story of a most unusual agreement between violin teacher and student. The second part of the evening begins with Renate Ruzich’s portrait of “Captain Kreisig,” the stern Berlin taskmaster who took a horse-crazy girl and taught her not only how to be a fine horseback rider but a self-disciplined, mature adolescent as well. Then Ruth Richards delights us with three funny little snake tales (or is that tails?) in “Serpent Wropped Him Round the Stump.” And, finally, Joyce Abell winds up the evening with her touching homage to her favorite aunt, “My Aunt Anya.” To make reservations, email to jabellrapp@earthlink.net or call Ki Theatre at 675-1616 For more information contact Joyce Abell, 987-8408) Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day For Rappahannock County Residents ONLY Household hazardous wastes are those products used in cleaning, home improvement projects, automobile maintenance, yard and garden care and a variety of other tasks.

Saturday, November 1, 2003, 9:00 am -1:00 pm at Rappahannock County Elementary School (rear parking lot) Lee Highway, Washington, VA For more information call County Administration Office 540675-5330 Movie From Page B1 Coast snobbery and clout behind him, is still widely regarded as the greatest horse race of all time. We first see Seabiscuit as a sleepy, overweight, contrary nag dumped by his first trainer, the storied Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons. Along the way, director Ross gets the dramatic under-story behind Seabiscuit’s fame, and the human biographies of the three men who plucked “Biscuit” from mediocrity and nurtured him to greatness: Seabiscuit’s genial and generous owner, Charles Howard (Bridges); his taciturn but sage trainer, Tom Smith (Cooper); and his poetry-spouting, accident-prone jockey, Johnny “Red” Pollard (Maguire). Howard, as a bicycle repairman, gambled early on the dominance of the automobile, rose to wealth and was then hit by tragedy and turned to horse racing as a diversion from grief. Smith was a cowboy with a preternatural instinct for horse training. Jobless after the closing of both the open range and the Wild West shows, he was spotted by Howard bringing a crippled horse back to health. Pollard was a well-read, middle-class kid whose family went bankrupt in the Depression. Talented but fragile, he was forced into the roughand-tumble world of jockeying to earn his keep. Seabiscuit’s story is the classic saga of the underdog triumphant. But Ross also draws on the social context of the Depression, the backdrop that made the nation yearn for a hero like Seabiscuit, a horse who won on daring and heart against physically superior foes. This film will thrill you and warm your heart. I can’t remember the last time an audience applauded a movie. The film is rated PG-13 and contains sexual situations; run time is 134 minutes.
