The commission members expressed “shock” that there were not more people in the town to take part in the public hearing. The debate, if there was one, centered on “property rights” of individuals. Skippy Giles, a life-long resident and former member of the Town Council, spoke up promptly, telling the commission that he was “strongly opposed to the town telling property owners what they should do or should not do with their property, including trees.” Commission member Mitzi Young while expressing some sentiment for Giles’ position, voiced concern for trees which Eire “special” to the town and should be protected. She cited in particular the “lovely old magnolia tree” next to the former Rappahannock National Bank that would have been cut down if the bank had gone ahead with its initial renovation plans for the property. Giles, a local realtor with Re/Max, continued to vent his unhappiness with the fact that such a proposal was even before the commission or Town Council. Noting that he had been in the town all his life, Giles stated unequivocally, “I don’t know of any property owners that would agree to give up their rights to control their own property and trees.” Brandon Fowler, acting as chairman of the commission in Barbara Stockton’s absence, tried more than once to bring attention to what he perceived as the real intent of the proposed ordinance: a largely “voluntary” program under which property owners can See PLANNING, Page A10 r Meetings & Notices • On Monday, Nov. 3 the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will meet at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Rappahannock Courthouse on Gay Street.

A hot air balloon ride over scenic Rappahannock County By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Beginning with a perfect day, clear skies and crisp fall temperatures, Donald and Denise Chandler took off from an open field at their home on Fodderstack Road into the wild blue yonder at the break of day on Saturday for a “once in a lifetime” ride in a Hot Air Balloon. Almost awe-struck by the beauty provided during this most popular season, they saw the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah National Park at their most colorful splendor: gleaming ponds and sparkling streams as the morning rays of sun reflected on the water; the beautiful homes and farms of nearby neighbors; and long-ago built rock fences and old homes tucked into the landscape*. Donald Chandler, an architect with offices in Little Washington and his wife, Denise, who runs Country Place Realty in an office in the former Rappahannock Bank building invited two former neighbors and friends from Fairfax (Paul Sadlik and Becky Jensen) to join them on this adventure. “This was the best way to see Rappahannock County in all its fall glory,” said Donald Chandler. His wife, Denise, added after the successful ride, “I wanted the trip to last all day. The fall foliage makes Rappahannock County the prettiest place on earth.” After the hour-long trip aloft, the Chandlers said they were intrigued “by how the houses all seem to blend into the landscape, as if they always were there.” They also were fascinated by the reflections of the balloon in the water as they crossed over the ponds and lakes of the Rappahannock countryside. Shadows of the balloon on the ground and in the trees as they drifted above the treetops in their flight also were especially captivating to the Chandlers’ party. Trips in hot air balloons usually last about an hour and can be scheduled either in the early morning or the early evening several hours before sunset for best viewing. This trip was provided by Shenandoah Hot Air Balloons of Front Royal. Its website is www.flyballoons.com. The trip cost $175 per person.

The teacher, Arlene Lauck Wake, 90, of Front Royal, was driving a 1991 four-door Mercury Tracker when she pulled from a stop sign on Route 522 into the path of an oncoming vehicle. Wake was attempting to cross the Route 211 westbound lane when she was struck in the side by a 1998 Ford Explorer driven by Lamisha M. Allen of Winchester, according to Sgt. Gary Settle of the Virginia State Police. Allen was traveling west on Route 211 approaching Route 522. Witnesses said Allen could not avoid the collision as Wake failed to yield the right of w ay. Wake was pronounced dead at Fauquier Hospital. A former member of the Rappahannock Hunt, Wake was a member of the Retired Teachers Association. Only last week she had attended one of its meetings at the Washington Baptist Church. ”We were so devoted to her," said friend, Jean Moffett. Wake taught her son, Frank, in the second grade. Mrs, Moffett said she and Wake had planned to have lunch at the Country Cafe this week. After the funeral service Wednesday, friends speculated on the accident. "Somebbdy said maybe the sun got in her eyes," Mrs. Moffett said. ‘Men of Rappahannock’ orders soaring By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News Staff Writer More than 1,200 advance orders have been placed for "The Men of Rappahannock County" calendar as the calendar story goes national on network news stations this week Calendar organizers have increased the initial printing from 5,000 calendars to 7,500.

RLEP forum discusses ‘Rural Rustic Roads9 program By Richard Lyres Special to the Rappahannock News As a third in a series of public forums on “Treasures of Rappahannock County,” the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) sponsored a meeting Friday night to discuss the Virginia Department of Transportation’s “Rural Rustic Roads Program.” For many in the turnout of 80 citizens at the Washington Fire Hall, the principal revelation — or clarification — is the fact that the “Rural Rustic Roads” program is not dedicated to keeping the rural gravel roads of the state but to pave those roads. That said, however, several vital qualifiers were promptly cited in the two-hour program: • Roads must meet certain criteria laid down by the state legislature; • Eveiyone on the road must want their road paved (most often with chip and tar rather than macadam). The “rural rustic” part of the program, however, has one sig pH Rappahannock News Photo/Richard Lykes Garrett Moore, resident VDOT engineer from the Culpeper District, was the principal speaker at a public forum of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection held Friday night in Washington. His topic focused on VDOT’s “Rural Rustic Roads” program. nificant advantage for keeping the area chosen for these roads rural and rustic. The beauty of the program is that roads under this plan do not have to meet standard VDOT requirements for right of way widths for paved roads and thus can maintain their “rural rustic character” and still be improved roads. More than once, Bob Moore, head of maintenance, and Garrett Moore, resident engineer, both of the Culpeper District of VDOT, stressed that their department does consult with citizens and only follows the law set down by the Virginia legislature. They do not go out seeking country roads to pave. In answer to one question, Garrett Moore, stated that a citizen has to request a particular road be included in the program. VDOTs representative also emphasized that “bulldozers are not let loose under this program to clear the trees and other vegetation that often borders rural gravel roads. Trees and other natural features, even if they come down to the very edge of the old roads, can be maintained if they are not a safety hazard.” Responding to a question posed by Jim Gannon, Sheriff Larry Sherertz stated that he was not opposed to VDOTs Rural Rustic Road program but said trees at the very edge of a roadway can be a hazard to drivers who exceed a safe speed on secondary roads. Jim Filson, hydrology engineer for VDOT outlined possible solutions to fix drainage problems along rural roads. His most significant suggestion was for property owners to plan the drainage of their driveways better to stop the gravel eroding into VDOT roadways and ditches. Marc Malik, RLEP director emeritus who has had years of experience as a landscape architect with the Shenandoah National Park, discussed vegetation along the roadways. He recommended to VDOT that the shoulders on the roadways be closely mowed and the slopes to the shoulders not be closely mowed to control erosion. Malik also suggested that the roadways not be mowed until after the wild flowers had bloomed and gone to seed. Attendees greeted this suggestion with applause. Portions of Skyline Drive to close at night during hunting season Portions of the Skyline Drive, the famed mountain road through Shenandoah National Park, will be closed at night during hunting season, Park Superintendent Douglas K. Morris announced today: Morris noted that this is the 25th year that this closure has been undertaken and that it reduces illegal hunting activity within the park, a sanctuary for wildlife, during the commonwealth’s hunting season outside the park. From Nov. 10 through .Jan. 4, the Skyline Drive between Front Royal (Mile 0 at U.S. Highway 340) and Thornton Gap (Mile 31 at U.S. Highway 211), and between Swift Run Gap (Mile 65 at U.S. Highway 33) and Rockfish Gap (Mile 105 at U.S. Highway 250), will be closed daily between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. The central portion of the drive, between Thornton Gap and Swift Run Gap, will remain open for overnight access to Skyland Resort and Big Meadows Campground until those facilities close on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, respectively. Then, beginning Dec. 1 through Jan. 4, the entire length of the Skyline Drive will be closed daily from 5 p.m. until 8 a.m. “By closing portions of the Skyline Drive, rangers will be able to concentrate patrols on problem areas and increase contacts along the park boundary,” said Morris. “A reward will be paid to anyone who furnishes information which leads to the conviction of any person who hunts, transports or attempts to transport illegally taken wildlife within the park,” said Morris.

Steve Butler: I Pledge to Protect and Serve Rappahannock As the election campaign draws to a close I would like to thank all the citizens of the County that welcomed me into their homes as I campaigned door-to-door, and to take the opportunity to convey my vision for the next four years and beyond. My first priority will be to ensure that all citizen complaints are responded to in a timely manner and every reasonable effort is made to resolve all reports of criminal activity and other complaints. Follow-ups will be required and closure of every case will be the ultimate goal. My second priority will be to reduce the turnover rate in the Sheriff’s office from the current average of approximately 25 percent annually to a nationally acceptable average, 10 percent or less keeping in mind that every new trainee costs the county over $5,000 and cutting turnover increases efficiency and saves money that can be used to satisfy other needs. I will establish hiring guidelines to ensure that only the best qualified applicants who are dedicated to serving our community are hired, and find ways to increase salaries within the budget so we can attract and keep the best law enforcement personnel. My experience with the annual budget review in the Secret Service Uniform Division will enable me to evaluate and set priorities for the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office budget. My goal will be to find waysJo reduce current budget expenditures in order to reallocate monies to bring our deputies’ salaries in line with our surrounding counties. I pledge my cooperation with the Board of Supervisors in achieving this goal so as to retain our deputies and protect our county’s investment. Part of being an effective Sheriff is to maintain good communications with the “first responders”: local fire and rescue squads and the Virginia State Police. It is also the Sheriff’s responsibility to stay in touch with the citizens of Rappahannock County as I have begun to do during my door-to-door campaign. Under my administration, I f pledge that the Sheriff and all deputies will treat every citizen with respect and courtesy. I, along with all the Deputies, will give time and attention to patrolling all roads within our county to ensure the safety of our citizens; to stop and say “hello” to the people that we serve and protect, and to be looking for ways to help - not waiting to be asked. My door will be open to every citizen of the County for suggestions on how to improve services or deal with complaints. Homeland security is an issue we must address. A third priority will be to review with other County officials and regional law enforcement officials the County’s plan to deal with potential threats and citizen services in case of a disaster or mass evacuation in the nearby metropolitan areas. We must pursue the grants available to local law enforcement agencies within our state to meet these needs. I ask for your vote on Election Day, and thank you for your support. I am looking forward to serving you, the citizens of Rappahannock County for the next four years as your Sheriff. Vote Tuesday, November 4th! “ Paid for by Friends of Steve Butler for Sheriff T

Now, it’s up to you. The contested races — the Sheriff’s race in particular — has drawn significant interest. In recent days, s the exchanges have become particularly pointed. But the airing of concerns and criticisms is good, and an important part of the whole process. Although we would have liked to have seen better attendance, the candidates’ forums in the county have been very effective in getting the individual candidates’ views out in front of the public. Again, this was most important in the contested races, and those who declined to participate missed an important opportunity to make their priorities known. To the careful observer, it is apparent that there are no simple answers to the big questions facing Rappahannock: school funding, increasing fire and rescue demands, how to best preserve agriculture and the unique character of our county. Related issues that our elected leaders will haye to address sooner, rather than later, include deciding iow to resolve the cell tower questions, coming up vith a lighting ordinance, and figuring out a way to iffectively enforce regulations already on the books chat deal with junked vehicles. One last time: Your vote on Nov. 4 is important to the future of Rappahannock County. Don’t fail to use it. More calendars, please We owe a hearty “Thank You” to the creators of the “Men of Rappahannock County” calendar that has provided such a terrific boost to the fund-raising efforts on behalf of a new track for the county schools. Unlike any other fundraising effort to date, this creative endeavor has caught the attention of news media outside the county in prominent papers, radio and TV, all of which will result in greater sales and more funds for the kids. You simply can’t garner this amount of attention and revenue by baking cookies or selling pizza kits to your relatives. It would seem, however, that an unanticipated result of this effort has been to bring every closet prude in the county out of the woodwork. After reading all of these holier-than-thou opinions about the danger this poses to our children and how showing naked male chests and legs somehow sets a “bad example,” I have some advice for these people and the current school board—get a clue, folks, and quit looking a gift horse in the mouth. If you ever take your kids to the beach, if you ever let them watch MTV, or heaven forbid watch commercials on network TV, you are certainly exposing them to more flesh than they will ever see in the calendar in question. My kids would think it was hilarious, and so would yours if you weren’t so busy trying to “protect” them. If there is any message that this calendar “sends” to our kids it is this: your parents and neighbors will go to any lengths, even if it means looking silly in public, in order to see you get what you need for a great education. And to my way of thinking, there is no finer message, or finer example we can set. Craig Landrum Flint Hill ‘With the liberals, character doesn’t count’ Prominent men — what constitutes prominence? Is it their financial status? Surely it must be. If these men are so prominent in the financial world, why don’t they donate the funds to build the track and save the citizens of the county the embarrassment of being the laughing stock of the country? No, I think it is more about their liberal agenda. Remember, with the liberals character does not count. There is no right or wrong and they will do anything to further their agenda. Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing , — however in this case “no clothing.” One of the supporters of the nude calendar indicated that if the school system doesn’t accept the money, that the fire and rescue companies would. Maybe the track isn’t the main goal. Let’s trust that the Superintendent and the School Board will say “No” to the nude calendar money. Many of the merchants in the county have a dress code as well as the school system. What will the dress code for the Rappahannock school system be if Meredith Gorfein is elected to the School Board? Heaven forbid! She states that she does not see anything offensive to the nude calendar. How can she support a respectful dress code for the students while her husband is dangling in the hallways. I trust that every citizen in the Hampton District that believes that character does count will support Jim Oyster for the School Board. This is probably one of the most important votes that we will ever cast. Your vote does count. Randall Updike Washington M Rappahannock Today TV I JM I ttrrr ,.x 'PAO to 'r«ic^<^"r^T- ■ .^vrrsuesftio W6 ^slOOUO/4'T WMT1* make Vi*C**l Hi Mod. Letters Calendar photos: ‘a perfect definition of what pornography is not’ Although pornography is famously hard to define (“I can’t define it, but I know it when I see it,” a Supreme Court justice remarked), I would propose as an absolutely obvious definition the following: The beautiful black and white photos shot by nationally renowned photographers John Bechtold and Chris Johns are a perfect defi nition of what pornography is not. I would also propose a further definition: anyone who having now seen these photos in their full grandeur still thinks this project is pornography is just not someone I want involved as a caretaker of our school youth in any capacity. In fact, I hereby call on Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke to start a mandatory countywide registry of those so unaware of the long history of the nude as an art form that they have maligned it willy-nilly as “pornography.” With this new countywide registry, any time an illinformed person tries to slip into a position of power (for example by running for School Board or being involved in school administration) that could result in a danger to our children, a countywide alert can be raised and appropriate preventive measures can immediately be taken to protect our students from their elders’ dangerous ignorance. Micah Solomon Woodville ‘I am not a self-appointed moral guardian’ A leader, particularly a leader of our school system, must command respect. A police officer wears a badge so that he will command respect. A judge wears robes so that he will command respect. A military officer wears a uniform and insignia of rank so that he will command respect. Dr. Robert Chappell’s stand on the calendar demonstrates that he is an experienced educator who commands respect. I am not a self-appointed “moral guardian” as BL Catron falsely accuses in his letter to the editor in the Oct. 23 edition of the Rappahannock News. I am both a candidate and a parent of four kids in our public schools, and I am proud to support our Superintendent and the current School Board in the position they have taken on this issue. Mr. Catron and others who focus solely on the content of the calendar (claiming its socalled merits) miss a more important point. Strip the police officer of his badge, the judge of his robes and the military officer of his uniform and insignia, and they will soon lose respect. Authorize “nude calendars” to raise funds for the schools and our leaders will have no respect. Teachers need an environment in which they can focus on their job of teaching our kids. To do so, they need support from officials who command respect. No soldier will do his job effectively if his commanding officers fail to command respect. The job of our teachers has been made hard enough as it is. Take away the respect for those in leadership, and their job will be made impossible. Mr. Catron is correct in his view that the issue in this election is not the one that he has falsely accused me of raising. These days respect for authority is not “popular” with some people. My opponent wants to be popular, but this calendar sends the wrong message to our kids. The adults of this community can send the right message to our kids by exercising their voting power. If elected, I intend to support a style of leadership that will command respect. If you agree, I will be proud to serve you. I appreciate your vote. Jim Oyster Candidate for School Board Hampton District A solution to the calendar controversy by one reader Recently as I jogged around Yowell Park in Culpeper while my son and many other Rappahannock residents practiced youth football, I came to a simple solution to the “calendar controversy'’ — those who “don’t like the calendar, but support the cause” — put your money where your mouth is. Send in your $15 or a donation to Friends of the Track through the Rappahannock County High School. By the way, has anyone even seen the calendar yet? Rich Hogan Amissville Commotion over calendar is ‘unwarranted’ If the School Board wants to take a moral position against the calendar then it needs to do so for all fundraisers. How immoral is the Casino Night that is held for the Sports Association that uses the school name? The administrators, faculty and teachers as well As several citizens that attend this event go to drink alcohol and gamble and then drive home, hopefully with a designated driver. If they are going to take that moral high ground and not accept the track money then make sure you give back all the money Casino Night raised as well. Amy Hitt Amiscville # Men in calendar: ‘stooped to new low’ A a a mother of three, two of which are in baseball and one in scouts, I would normally have nothing but praise for Butch Zindel’s biographical sketch in his campaign letter where he details his community involvement especially that of Little League, baseball and scouting. Yet my hand pauses in anger when I remember reading about Mr. Zindel in the Oct. 16 issue of the Rappahannock News (losing nude “for the kids.” He and these other men posing in this calendar have stooped to a shamefully new low for Rappahannock County. It’s obvious Mr. Zindel is lacking in decency. If we want to raise our children to be better than the political leaders that have disgraced this nation recently, we must not reward these indecent actions with a vote of confidence this Nov. 4 or ever. This year there are two alternatives on the ballot in Jackson District, and I will cast my vote again for Ron Frazier. He has represented this district well for the last eight years, and I believe he will continue to do so. Faye Bowlin Amissvi lie ‘Put your money where your mouth is’ being so critical about the calendar, why not put your money where your mouth is. I challenge all of you to donate $100 to the Rappahannock County High School track fund and help us build this track. Then it might not be nee essary for the few of us who are working hard to raise money for our athletic program to try and come up with some new, proven successful, fund-raising ideas. I thank Cathy Kreyling for her hard work in studying this project, calling on donations, begging for help and spending a lot of time to make this calendar. If you have never made a donation, or helped sell tickets at a game, or worked the snack bar, or attended meetings, then don’t be so quick to criticize those who do. So, go ahead write that check, let’s get this track built. L. Torrance Amiaeville ‘We would be appalled if our husbands, fathers posed’ We are shocked at the article and pictures concerning “The Men of Rappahannock” calendar, and the fact that it is the desire of the group that the funds would be used for the Rappahannock County High School track and field. Morally, we are saddened and dismayed. We found it inappropriate and distasteful. It was said that it was done in the name of the kids and for the sake of the cause. We wonder what our children will think of this. What kind of message does it send to them, that it is okay to take your clothes off for a “good cause” to raise financial aid? Come on, can’t we be ere ative enough to come up wit! a better venue than this? If this is supposed to be for our children’s benefit in this com ty, would you want your chik to see this calendar in your home? There are so many other means of fund-raising that can be done to help rais< the funds for the high school track & field. Our husbands and father are ‘‘Men” of Rappahannock, and we would not want them put in this category. In fact, we would be appalled and embarrassed if our brothers, husbands, fathers and grand fathers posed in such a calen dar. We are also saddened at the attention that this story has received in our local paper as well as the D.C. news. Last year the boys’ soccer team did such an excellent job that they made it to district, regional and state championships and they received little recognition by this local paper. It was a big “school" story and we were proud of our team. What is the big story now, a nude picture calendar? This calendar story made the front page of our local paper— what a endorsement. How sad. We hope that more newsworthy and informative stories wont be missed in the future. 8arsKleppiiiferA Sadly Letsea

Sheriff responds to editorial It was disappointing to read the editorial in last week's edition of the Rappahannock News. Tb print that someone perceives me as "arrogant and Steve Butler will bring back 'respect and compassion’ It comes as no surprise that Dave Konick, a longtime member of our community, has provided a thoughtful and accurate report of the financial status of the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s department. His time and diligence should be applauded, for nowhere else have we had the opportunity to absorb these figures. This increase in budget is outrageous. Is there crime in Rappahannock sufficient to justify this type of expenditure, when individual citizens must craft creative ways of raising money to improve our schools without the benefit of the county budget? How often is a crime committed in Rappahannock County where the victim is separated from $12,125—or for that matter, $1,212.50? Only one, it would seem—paying our county taxes. I have been a resident of Rappahannock County since 1978 and I have remained for two reasons—the beauty of the countryside and the community spirit in which it is felt that we are part of a family. In the past 25 years we have had as sheriff, individuals elected and reelected for their love of the county and compassion for its people, and we have remained a peaceful oasis in part because the representatives of law enforcement have been respected for these traits. I have yet to hear the words compassion or respect in association with Mr. Sherertz. Many years ago I was unfortunate enough to witness violence taking place in a public forum. At the time, John Henry was sheriff, and what could have been a very nasty scene was handled with downright country charm— smooth talking and sound reasoning quickly put control of the situation in the hands of the sheriff and his deputies. I will remember the event with extreme clarity my entire life because of the way it was handled. Would the same thought processes be used by our current sheriff? From the reports I have received in the last few years I suspect there would have been a SWAT team and teargas involved, both for a lack of compassion and as justification for an outrageous budget. Rappahannock County, thankfully, is far removed from ‘Time for a fresh look and new ideas’ Several people have commented on David Konick’s column in last week’s paper. There is a perception that since most of the increase in the sheriff's budget was paid for with state and/or federal grants it is free money. As you certainly know, there is no free lunch. It’s been my experience that grants come with strings attached—usually in the form of required local matching funds—sometimes 200 percent of the grant received. So, does anyone know what choices were available and how they were made? Was there input from anyone besides the sheriff? Could we have given our underpaid deputies more pay and benefits, instead of buying cars and gizmos? What was the required local match? Did it come out of payroll? The Rappahannock News welcomes Letters to the Editor from its readers as a forum for discussion of local public affairs subjects. WRITE: Letters to the Editor, P.O. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747 EMAIL: makuhn@timespapers.com We should keep in mind that as equipment accumulates, maintenance requirements and required software upgrades tend to proliferate out of control. Seems like more openness and accountability at the very least, would be welcome. It is time for a fresh look and new ideas and I think Steve Butler will bring a more professional agenda to the department. MicheleneA. H os tetter Castle ton Fairfax County and I believe this to be so ill part because of the people who have previously held positions in law enforcement. We neither need nor want armored vehicles on our county’s roads, and I fear that is the direction we are headed. I do not know Steve Butler, and being removed from the county more often than I would like I have had to ask my friends and acquaintances their opinions of him as a man, a citizen of our fine county and as a leader. Every man and woman I have approached has endorsed him, and I plan to do the same. We need to have respect, compassion, strength and leadership at the helm as sheriffno amount of money in our law enforcement coffer can take the place of these, and I feel that Steve Butler is the candidate to bring these characteristics back to Rappahannock County. Jody Carbone Washington Give us the names The editorial in the Oct. 23 edition of the Rappahannock News endorsed a specific candidate for sheriff. The paper urged its readers to vote for this candidate based on its statement that “he is being supported by some of the law enforcement people we respect the most. In their opinion, he is the best candidate. We agree.” This is insulting to the intelligence of the voters in Rappahannock County. We need to know who these law enforcement people are so that we can judge for ourselves the credibility of their opinions.

We have always been forthcoming with information when requested to the extent possible at the time. I have never said a deputy's report was unreadable, but I have declined to provide details on cases under active investigation where disclosure would jeopardize victims, witnesses and arrests. It is important to remember that complainants and victims in many cases have an expectation of anonymity and privacy. We also understand that the media has an important job in reporting news and events. Our office has always, and will continue to be helpful by providing timely information. The editorial tone presented referencing my availability after 3. p.m. was unnecessary. I work school traffic every day, mornings and afternoons, in the rain, snow and cold weather. All available deputies, including the sheriff, participate in insuring safe traffic and bus control during arrival and departure times at both schools. I think this is an appropriate priority. We all can take pride in the fact that Rappahannock County has the lowest crime rate in Virginia. I credit this success to the vigilance of our citizens, our pro-active approach to law enforcement and the tenacity of our Commonwealth's Attorney. We train and work with the Virginia State Police in a professional partnership that ensures this trend will continue. I have the pictures to prove it. I am not the picture this paper paints. I sincerely hope the Rappahannock News will give careful consideration to future character assassination articles and realize the impact and effect upon its readership. Tb be totally blindsided by last week s article from David Konick, replete with graphs, was unconscionable.

County Sheriff s Race Letters ‘If anything, Steve Butler is overqualified’ The voters of Rappahannock County have an important opportunity to help shape the county's future in next week’s election. While I share the concerns of most over the budget, tax assessments and attracting and keeping our dedicated county employees, what gives me pause in the upcoming elec tion is who we choose to lead the county’s law enforcement organization. I have only positive things to say about the sheriff’s deputies who serve Rappahannock County. Our family has had cause on two occasions to ask the deputies for assistance— a lost dog and a miss SJW-uWoja gallery Offerings to make, you crow! /V ‘Colorful Rugs ‘Pillows & Pottery ‘Holiday Cards ‘Eclectic Gifts 122 East Davis Street, Culpeper V* Open Tues-Sat 10-5 or by Appt. (543) 825 0034 www.saraschneldman.com ing tractor—and in both instances they did all we could have expected. My issue is with the leadership and who takes the Sheriff’s Department to the next level. Economic and life-style changes are transforming the rural agricultural character of our county into a mecca for those wishing to escape the frenetic pace of our neighboring counties to the east. With this influx of people comes higher taxes, more traffic and more crime. The phenomenon is not new. If you are old enough to remember when Nixon was president you can likely recall the Tysons Corner area looking a lot like Gainesville did up until two years ago. Every candidate naturally talks about their respective experience, vision, character and commitment. So how do you and I judge Steve Butler against the incumbent? For starters, Butler is a gentleman. He has integrity, loyalty and is a native of the area. He has gone door to door throughout the county listening to peoples’ concerns about personal safety and how the department can better serve the community. He has not resorted to negative campaigning or the kind of mud-slinging common to other political candidates. Instead he has sought to accentuate the positive and stick to the issues that concern us all without making it personal. Steve has 29 years of experience in law enforcement. In his last position, as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Secret Service, he managed a team of nearly 60 special agents involved in protecting the White House, the President and the Cabinet. People who may be concerned that Steve lacks the management or operational experience to lead and manage the Rappahannock County SherifFs Department likely don’t know the man or his background. If anything Steve Butler is overqualified. The outcome of some elections are more critical than others because they define the direction people want to take their communities. Based on my discussions with friends, neighbors and law enforcement officers who know the candidates and the challenges the Sheriff’s Department faces, Steve Butler is the clear choice for Sheriff of Rappahannock County on Nov. 4.

Sheriff Woodward obtained our first records management system in 1990, which at the time was “state of the art.” The system was great in its time but is currently not compatible with “Windows” based programs and constantly goes down, sometimes losing valuable data. The $75,000 Records Management System that Mr. Konick refers to was purchased with grant money and cost the taxpayers of Rappahannock approximately $18,200. This system includes a Jail Management system and a Computer Aided Dispatch system also. Oh, and by the way, the system we purchased came in at the lowest bid.

Please Vote Tuesday, November 4th 6 am til 7 pm Paid for and Authorized by Meredith Gorfein for School Board we replace our patrol cars when they reach 135,000 to 150,000 miles. The cars become unsafe as well as unreliable when they reach this high mileage in law enforcement work. Other agencies replace their cars anywhere from 75,000 miles to 100,000 miles. This year we cut one vehicle from our budget so that we could purchase a four-wheel drive vehicle to better serve our community in inclement weather. The “Livescan” system Mr. Konick refers to as wasteful could also help identify abducted children. The system we are purchasing will not only give us the ability to fingerprint criminals for immediate identification, but can also be used as a Child ID system, providing fingerprints and pictures of the children. This system did not cost $40,000 as Mr. Konick falsely represented; it was purchased at $23,000 and the county cost is approximately $10,000. This system is connected to the Virginia State Police fingerprint database and the State Police highly recommends that every law enforcement agency install this equipment. That is why over half of the funds is made available by the Virginia Compensation Board. Contrary to what you are lead to believe, we do work closely with the Virginia State Police, Federal Bureau of Investigations and other local agencies and we do utilize their resources. I really do not know what other equipment Mr. Konick is suggesting that we utilize from the State Police unless he is suggesting that we borrow ink pens from them. We only purchase equipment necessary to keep our citizens and our deputies safe. Mr. Konick, we are a professional law enforcement agency and are obviously living in a different time era than what you five in. Our goal is to provide the citizens of Rappahannock County with the highest quality of law enforcement available at minimal cost to the citizens. Having the right tools to work with could be the difference between life and death of one of our citizens, one of our deputies or maybe even you. As you see, we do save money anyway we can because we too pay taxes to support our own jobs. Don’t play dirty politics and try to destroy the credibility of our agency with false representation. I challenge you to step up and contribute to your community and support our T.E.A.M. instead of making negative comments in an attempt to tarnish the integrity of the men and women who work hard to keep our community safe.

Week in Sports Due to lack of space, more coverage of this week's sports will be in next week's paper Cross country team advances to Region B Championship By Alt,en Comer Special to the Rappahannock News On a recent cold, windy, rainy and, at times, pleasant October afternoon, the Rappahannock County High School Panther boys’ cross country team ran in the Bull Run District Championship Meet hosted by RCHS at the Bleu Rock Inn. Using their trademark balanced attack, with all runners crossing the line within 1:20 of each other, the Panther harriers captured positions 21, 22, 26-28, and 30 to place fourth in the competition on Oct. 22 (top four teams qualify for' regional competition). The Panthers were led by Kevin Martin (18:47.02) and Alex Ramey (18:53.31) with Dos Allen (19:16.39), Brian Brown (19:42.21) and Josh Makela (19:44.63) rounding out the scoring. The sixth Panther runner, Larry Oliver (20:06.77) placed ahead of four Strasburg runners, enabling the RCHS squad to narrowly defeat the Rams and qualify for the Region B Meet to be held at William Campbell High School on Nov. 1. Madison County High School won the boys’ competition with Mountaineer runner Travis Hunnicutt capturing the boys’ individual title. In the girls’ race, Nina Pfeiffer of Strasburg took the individual title, but it wasn’t enough to overtake a balanced Clarke County squad, who won the team competition.

Planning From Page A1 refuse to take part. “There is no intention to force people to do what they don’t want to do,” he explained. In this regard. Section 106.2 of the proposed ordinance clearly states, “No tree on private property shall be designated (a desirable or protected tree) without the express written consent of the property owner...” The question was then raised, “If the program is volun tary, why is there a need for the ordinance?” Commission member Jean Goodine agreed that there was no need for such an ordinance. Supporting Giles’ concern about the rights of property owners, Goodine said, “I don’t want others to decide what I can or can't do with my trees.” One of the issues at the July meeting of the Tbwn Council that ultimately approved the controversial application of her husband, Christopher Goodine, for a jewelry design store on Main Street, was the question of a large tree cut down on their property to make way for the larger store. Gary Schwartz, owner of the Heritage House Bed and Breakfast on Main Street, raised the issue of additional cost to town residents if the tree ordinance was approved. Young noted that the town's arborist, Lvt Wood, probably would act in this capacity and that there would be a modest fee for his additional work. Goodine countered that this was not a “one-shot” job and that designating trees and working with a citizen’s committee ( called “the Beautification Committee”) to carry out the proposed program would require an “on-going" contract to review and maintain the program. While noting that the proposed Tree t>rdinance was “not the first Tree Ordinance in the country but was modeled after other such ordinances,” Fowler conceded that perhaps further guidance from County Administrator John McCarthy was desirable. He asked for a motion that the matter be deferred until the next meeting. The motion carried 2 to 1 with Young voting against it. This action was taken in large part because of the lack of adequate public input and the need for further clarification so that “property rights” of town citizens could be fully taken into account. In other action, the commission discussed a proposed Lighting Ordinance. Most members seemed to prefer to conduct a survey on the issue before taking any action, especially considering what many reportedly feel is excessive lighting at Sunnyside Market’s new construction in the center of town. “We need to take the temperature of the town’ on the lighting issue,” chairman Fowler concluded. His request for a motion to ask the Zoning Administrator for clarification on the language of such a proposal and to defer action on this proposal until next month was adopted unanimously. t Meanwhile, the commission voted to send out a parking survey to determine people’s attitudes. The commission may send out a survey later on the lighting ordinance proposal. The commission also decided not to take a position on enlarging its size. Soccer From Page A9 Emily Massie who nearly scored a few goals of their own. Trey Swindler scored two great goals in the second half. Kayla McGhee and Ben Estes showed great dribbling skills as they hustled after the ball. Daniel Schlosser scored a goal in the third sparking a come back but they couldn’t catch up to the Madison team. Coach Wallace’s U14 girls, sponsored by Ivy Cliff Farms, defeated Culpeper 2-1. It was the third time they had played Culpeper this season and the hardest match yet. The Culpeper coach kept his first string defense and goalie in place the entire match. The Rapp girls drove down the field repeatedly and had numerous corner kicks but were unable to finish the ball. Just before the half Brittany Clatterbuck stepped up from her defensive sweeper position and rifled a shot into the comer of the goal. It \yas a beautiful and aggressive play by Brittany. Culpeper evened the score in the second half on a penalty kick. We had a chance at a penalty kick also but the goalie made a superb stop. We were winding down to the last few minutes and the Rapp girls started pursuing the ball with renewed energy. They didn’t want this game to end in a tie. The ball found its way to Megan Wheatley on the right forward wing. Megan pushed the ball upheld and got off a perfect crossing pass. Morgan Flournoy was rushing up the center and caught the pass dead center of the goal and rattled the nets with her shot. It was a great play and showed the aggressiveness and teamwork the girls have demonstrated this whole season.

ECOW market is sponsor. ing a "Calendar Signing Event" on Saturday, Nov. 1 from 3 to 6 p.m. A number of "The Men of Rappahannock County” will be on hand to autograph calendars. "We have received hundreds of email messages and phone calls expressing support for our project," Kreyling said. Meanwhile, the calendar has created a controversy in Rappahannock among some parents and educators who the calendar is not an appropriate fund-raiser and are concerned about the examEle it sets for children. It has ecome an issue in the School Board race. Census From Page A1 The “median income” is the level at which half of households have higher incomes and half have lower incomes. This measure is commonly used when income levels are quite skewed. For example, 24 percent of households in the county have incomes of $25,000 or less, whereas 26 percent have incomes of $75,000 or more. Indeed, 13 percent of county households have an income of $100,000 or more. Even though Rappahannock ranks second overall in median income in the six-county region, there is marked variation in this rank by age. Specifically, the county ranks last (sixth) in median income for those aged less than 25 years, fourth for those age 25 to 55 years, but second for those age 55 years and older. Apparently, the overall rank of second is due to the high incomes of these latter older county residents. There is also marked variation in median income among the five Rappahannock County districts. Piedmont District has a significantly lower median income level ($37,500) than Wakefield ($46,250), Jackson ($47,208), Stonewall-Hawthome ($49,950), and Hampton ($50,344).

Coach Humbles U-10 girls “Golden Retrievers” sponsored by Settles Garage played Culpeper Saturday but the Culpeper team was too large and powerful for the girls. Sarah Henry, goalie for the first half, did a great job blocking many shots. The same can- be said for Lauren Light, goalie for the second half. Abby Cramer and Kelsa Settle were really mixing it up with these huge players. Bryn Sonnett and all the girls played their hearts out but could not get one past these formidable players. The final score 4-0. Coach Mark Wallace’s U14 girls’ team, sponsored by Ivy Cliff Farm, played Madison to a 1-1 tie in Madison. Lily Day was active the entire first half on the left forward position, winning balls and pushing the action up into Madison’s end. Morgan Stephens was aggressive on defense denying Madison access down her wing. In the second half Wallace’s team evened the score on a set play from the comer. Emma Hathaway got some air under her comer kick. Hannah Rosenbaum connected with the ball and rattled the nets evening the score. Katie Huang was powerful up front in a position she doesn’t often play. Marcella Wallace preserved the tie by running down two Madison breakaways, cutting the ball off and turning it back upheld. a MOTOmCYCLM FACTORY Inc 3320 Prince William Pkwy.

Directed by Gore Verbinski (“The Ring,” “Mouse Hunt,”) “Pirates” stars Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush and Keira Knightley. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community brings this adventure film to The Theatre on Gay Street in Washington, on Friday, Nov. 7 at 8 p.m. Depp as Jack Sparrow is the offbeat centerpiece of the movie. Living by his wits, Sparrow comes sailing to the village of Port Royal, run by Governor Swann (Jonathan Pryce), who’s determined to see his lovely daughter Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) married off to the influential Commodore Norrington (Jack Davenport). However, Elizabeth has long had eyes for blacksmith Will Turner (Bloom), who shares her unexpressed devotion. The town’s calm is shattered when the pirate crew from the creepy Black Pearl, manned by the evil Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), invades in search of a lost gold medallion. The barbarous buccaneers kidnap Elizabeth (who has the medallion) and plan to sacrifice her. While Norrington sails off to her rescue, Turner joins forces with Sparrow, who has hijacked the fastest ship around. Together, they uncover the mystery behind the black Pearl. Director Verbinski, producer Jerry Bruckheimer along with screenwriters Ted El hot and Terry Rossio (who also wrote “Shrek”) have produced dazzling visuals (ghostly skeletons brawl in the moonlight aboard a haunted galleon) and spectacular swordsmanship, blending seamlessly with comic moments. “Pirates” will enthrall kids and amuse adults. It’s lots of fun. The film is rated PG-13 and contains piratical violence. Run time is 134 minutes. ‘Flamenco’ performance set for Nov. 8 at The Theatre By Wendy Weinbekg Special to the Rappahannock News “Flamenco!” is the title of a show to be presented on Saturday, Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. at The Theatre at Little Washington.

Two galleries open exhibits ‘Small Pleasures’ opens at The Packing Shed Gallery Photo courtesy/June Jordan Virginia artist Viviane de Kosinsky exhibits her traditional line etchings in a November show entitled "Small Pleasures" at the Packing Shed Gallery in Little Washington. An opening reception celebrating these miniature works illustrating small delights is set for Nov. 1 from 3 to 6 p.m. By June Jordan Special to the Rappahannock Newa Viviane de Kosinsky, a Virginia artist and printmaker with an international background, returns to the. Packing Shed Gallery in Little Washington during November with a second series of traditional line etchings in the exhibition “Small Pleasures.” All are invited to the opening reception on Saturday, Nov. 1 from 3 to 6 p.m. With humor and a quiet eye for detail rendered in fineline drawing and often enhanced in glowing watercolor, these miniature works illustrate the small delights of which so many can be found in Rappahannock County at this time of year: a glass of wine, a star over a barn door, the long vista to Old Rag from Route 231 in the F.T. Valley, rosy apples, curious cats, a small dog, or a pair of sunglasses for that small dog. The link between other landscapes, farms and vineyards and the Blue Ridge is probed, and the similarity is underlined between the small pleasures visitors seek both here and abroad in fine dining, memorable walks and architectural details. Rarely larger than a postcard, these small works have their roots in Persia, India, the Orient and Rome. Medieval monks adorned their manuscripts with miniatures, which took the name from the “minimum”— the red lead pigment used in their creation. In the 1830s, when Daguerreotypes and photography replaced the demand for miniaturists to render faces, subject matter became landscape and still life more than the portrait, and interest in all these tiny treasures began to mount. The etching process on zinc and copper plates has its own labor-intensive ritual of timed control when submerged in a nitric acid bath, and the hand coloring of selected proofs beyond the limited edition consumes hours in the studio. The artist graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and the printmaking graduate programs at the Villa Schifanoia in Florence, Italy and the International Graphics Institute in Venice. A prize-winning member of numerous miniature societies, she has just been awarded this year’s second prize in the Annual North American Miniature Art Exhibition and received critical praise for her work. Her studio is located at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Old Town, Alexandria, and her weekend cabin is in Sperryville. Packing Shed Gallery is located in Washington on the corner of Gay and Porter Streets. Gallery hours are from 12:30 to 7 p.m., Thursday through Monday. For additional information, call (540) 675-3410 or gallery director, June Jordan at 987-8098. ‘A Year of Printmaking’ at Middle Street Gallery exhibit From last winter’s snows to the mist and fog of this summer’s record rainfall, Madison printmaker Tucker Hill records the changing landscape of the Piedmont region in a new show of his unique black and white monotypes at The Middle Street Gallery in Little Washington. “A Year of Printmaking” runs from Oct. 31 to Nov. 30 with an artist’s reception at the gallery on Sunday, Nov. 2 from 2 to 5 p.m. Hill began printing monotypes 18 years ago in a studio in Richmond, traveling first to the counties just west of Richmond to make sketches and take study photographs of the landscape for his prints and finally finding his way to the Blue Ridge and the counties of Rappahannock, Madison, Greene and Albemarle. In the mid-1990s, he moved to northern Madison County at the foot of Old Rag Mountain where much of his printmaking subjects may be found. Abandoning color for the interesting composition challenges of black and white, Hill’s oil color on paper prints rely on the soft contrasts of light and dark to convey a scene. They have a photographic realism although the images are the result of freehand painting on a print plate which is then transferred to paper using an etching press. The result is a single image which cannot be duplicated. Hill’s monotypes have been selected for numerous juried shows in the mid-Atlantic region, including the annual “Art on Paper” Exhibition at the Maryland Federation of Art’s Gallery on the Circle, Annapolis and the biennial Irene Leache Memorial Exhibition at The Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Va. Twenty-nine of Hill’s prints have completed a two-year state tour through the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts’ Statewide Traveling Arts Program. The Middle Street Gallery is an artist-run, non-profit gallery, located next to The Inn at Little Washington in. and is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday through Sunday, year round.

During a' family party, there was another similar inci dent. While talking in the parlor, several family members witnessed a silk flower arrangement sail across the room and drop to the floor. Four Christmas’ ago, the owner put up a beautifully decorated Victorian-style Christmas tree. She took special care to wrap the lights perfectly around the tree. After leaving for a while, she returned home to find the tree laying down with the lights next to it on the floor. Although the soldier was killed upstairs, the owner believes that the voices and mischievous occurrences are the spirits of the children misbehaving. Oddly enough, every year just before Halloween through mid-December, hundreds of £> ghoulish turkey buzzards perch high in the tree that sits in the middle of the old family cemetery. There are many trees on the property but they always go to that particular one. Believe it or not? The choice is yours. The current owner wishes to remain anonymous. Have a safe and happy Halloween.

There were two among us who had been bom and raised here, who gave first hand accounts of days gone by and life on the Blue Ridge. Our oldest family member was Beulah Bolen from Luray, whose father, J. Bernard Bolen had owned nearly a thousand acres which was taken as part of Shenandoah National Park. The youngest, Megan McWaters, was a great-greatgranddaughter of Mr. Bolen. The cemetery was established in 1916 a6 per deed on record in Rappahannock Clerk’s Office, but the first interment was shortly after the Civil War. The author of this article can boast that he has buried here a great-grandmother, a great-great-grandmother and father, and a great-great-greatgrandmother and father. There were members of four generations of the Bolen family present, as well as several representatives of the fifth, sixth and seventh generations.

Impirim} Tfiaugfite by Randy Minter THE SACRED CORE OF LIFE In an effort to "spare" children, well intentioned parents often leave their offspring in the dark. It may be more helpful to address death in a more honest way. Remember that loss and sadness are familiar childhood experiences. Separation fear, which is one of the dominant feelings expressed when someone in the family dies, is something that nearly all infants know by a few months of age. Remember also that children are well sensitized to feelings of sadness and measures of comfort. These are the cues that children draw on when faced with a death at a later age. By participating in the process, parents can help reinforce healthy coping skills and help children deal with the deep feelings that accompany loss. Children need to be taught about the various aspects of death with a kind hand. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we know that children absorb so much more than we wish they would, so it eases them to understand what is happening when a death occurs.

Woodard From Page B1 a highly successful shop and catalog store. When he sold it, he decided to combine his artistic and retailing skills and three years ago founded Long View GaJlery. Although Woodard began painting in college, partly inspired by his mother who was an avid art collector, his career as a serious artist began only five years ago after he sold his retail store and founded his own gallery. He has titled his show “Rediscovering a Passion for Art” because he wants to emphasize that his art is a “rekindled passion,” with its first stirrings in college. It continued throughout his adult life in other pursuits that allowed ,him to keep a creative thread in the field of fine arts. Woodard describes his work as “somewhere between impressionism and realism.” One might say that it is impressionist in manner and almost “stud ied realism" in details. Adopting techniques he learned as a photographer, he says, “I keep my center of interest in sharp focus with a shallow depth of field but I paint the background in soft focus.” The view of Old Rag Landscape, for instance, clearly is impressionistic in its “soft focus" treatment of the subject matter, vet it also is clearly sharp in its details such as in the house in the foreground. His palette is not unlike the artists of the well-known Barbizon school of impressionists at the turn of the last century in France, and he uses brilliant splashes of color and shadows to make a detail stand out. According to Woodard, many of his paintings reflect the creative inspiration he has garnered from some of the artists who have exhibited at Long View Gallery like Robin Purnell, William Whiting, David Williams, Chris Stephens and Lois Manookian. He is particularly indebted to the influence of Robin Purnell of Little Washington who inspired Woodard to take up oils. Since he rekindled his interest in fine arts, he has taken courses at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. Asked to describe the inspiration for his landscapes, Woodard said, “I know every field and meadow, every tree and creek, along the country roads of our beautiful county." Indeed, many of Woodard's creative ideas come from his long bicycle rides on his mountain bike through the picturesque back roads of the county. Woodard noted that his pre vious experience in fashion photography at his retail store also helps him today in capturing the essence of his paintings. Often he takes his camera with him on his bike rides to record inspiring scenes. Like many artists who began with watercolors, Woodard soon chose oil painting. “I like oils because you can “build’ a painting easier and it is more ‘forgiving' than water colors. You don’t have to worry about getting it right the first time,” he said. Tb see the show will be a pleasure for all art lovers. Park From Page B9 Nov. 30.
