Across the county over in Boston, it was a different story. There, at Robert Thornhill's home, Sheriff challenger Steve Butler, was waiting with 35 supporters, family and friends to hear the results. "Obviously, I am disappointed," said Butler when asked his reaction to the results. "I feel we did the best we could. We wish our best to the winner and hope he continues to serve the people well. "And we extend our warmest heartfelt thanks to all the people in the county," said the former uniformed officer of the U. S. Secret Service. Butler, 59, who challenged incumbent Sheriff Sherertz, received a total of 1,130 votes or 43 percent but it wasn't enough to overcome Sherertz who captured 1,512 votes or 57 percent. Sherertz won in all the districts except Scrabble where he and Butler tied, each with 274 votes. Some 2,707 persons voted in this election or 54 percent of the 5,025 registered voters in the county, according to Registrar Nancy Newlin. "This was probably the smoothest election I've ever done," said Newlin who has been registrar for the past 14 years. Sherertz, 55, who has been sheriff for the past five years, ran on a theme: "Continue the Excellence." His campaign literature stressed how the county has "the lowest crime rate" which brought forth critics who disputed that statement. The other contested races in the county were for two Board of Supervisors' seats and three School Board seats.

Paving county road creates big controversy, cell towers a go The cell towers’ issue took a back seat Monday night at the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors’ meeting a^.the issue of paving a county road triggered the most controversy and some anger from county residents. Without much ado, the supervisors granted Sprint, the telecommunications company, another year to start work on its system of cell phone towers in the county, as Sprint’s attorney made a qualified promise that construction would begin in the first halTof 2004. But the board's 3-2 vote to approve a road paving project in the Wakefield district —despite hearing objections from more than a dozen local residents—caused the most controversy. The split decision means that a graveled portion of Grimsley Road, Route 638 north of Ben Venue and east of Flint Hill, will get a tar-andchip surface next year, a s part of the latest six-year road plan for the county. Wakefield district Supervisor Roger Welch sided with the local people who came to the meeting to object to the paving project and he was joined by Robert Anderson of Stonewall-Hawthorne district in voting against the plan. But their votes were overridden by those of Charles K. Estes of Piedmont, Bryant Lee of Hampton and Ron Frazier of Jackson district, who favored the plan of the Virginia Department of Transportation to pave about one-third of a miie of a See SUPERVISORS, Page A10 i-Atcncr Vet Day memories During the Vietnam War, foreign nationals made up part of an 'International Platoon.’ See Page A3.

Dick McNear and Monira Rifaat represent Rappahannock County on the Culpeper SWCD Board of Directors. The Clean Water Farm award is given to one farm in each county of the District that is exemplary in its protection of the state’s soil and water resources. Muskrat Haven Farm is unusual in the diversity of its production—on 400 acres of their land and on 255 acres of I rented land, the Calls grow peaches, apples, vegetables, raspberries, pumpkins, corn, sunflowers and sorghum. They also raise 500 to 600 rabbits, ducks, chickens and guineas, as well as some brood cows for the production of custom beef. The Muskrat Haven Store sells produce by the side of Route 211. The farm employs numerous best management practices protecting local soil and water resources. Filter strips have been established along all waterways on the farm; no-till has been used in production of the corn crop, and good management has resulted in virtually no soil erosion even during the very wet weather the region has experienced over the last year. The Calls established 32 acres of forested stream buffer on land in Culpeper County through the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, protecting stream banks and water quality. Rappahannock County has reason to be proud of the leadership shown by these local farmers in demonstrating the agricultural community’s commitment to conservation.

American citizenship is not a prerequisite for service By John Toler Rappahannock News StafT Writer Early in the war in Iraq, two U.S. Marines wounded in combat in Iraq were awarded something else in addition to their Purple Hearts: American citizeriship. President George Bush and First Lady Laura Bush were present when Master Gunnery Sgt. Guadalupe Denogean, 42, a native of Mexico, and Lance Cpl. Oj J. Santamaria, 20, a Filipino, took the oath of citizenship. The president was the first to greet the men as “my fellow Americans.” It was a proud moment for all, but many people are surprised to learn that U.S. citizenship is not a prerequisite for serving in our military. Recalling the draft This fine ceremony reminded me of my early military experiences in the late 1960s, during the Vietnam War. The draft was an issue for all young men in America, including foreign nationals who were here as students, or living with their families. They had to be registered, and when the time came, they received draft notices along with the rest of us. While a number of these men enlisted, many just waited until their deferments ran out and they received their induction notices. At that point, they could either show up for their physical exam and see what happened next, or make a hasty return to their native country. My deferment over, I enlisted in the Virginia Army National Guard in November, 1969. I had received my induction notice, but took the place of John Quaintance, of Rappahannock, when he missed his induction due to illness. In February 1970, I reported to Fort Ord, Calif., for U.S. Army Basic Combat Training (BCT). I was assigned to the 2nd Platoon of Co. C, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Brigade. By som^ coincidence — or because of some Army personnel clerk’s wry sense of humor — I found myself in a very unusual platoon. International platoon About half the trainees were foreign nationals, most of whom had been drafted. The rest were college kids who had used up their deferments, National Guards trainees from several states, some Regular Army enlistees, and a few who defied definition. Our drill sergeant was a tough Hawaiian E-7 named Pasqua, who had recently returned from a tour in Vietnam. Tb him, we were all “Army green,” which he pointed out to us frequently. It was his job to whip us into shape and he had his work cut out for him. Pasqua never let up. Our training was aimed at preparing us for combat in Southeast Asia, and when w6 came up short, Pasqua would scream, “Charlie’s (Viet Cong) is gonna make mashed potatoes outta yo’ heads!” But when we made him proud, he referred to us as his “My international platoon.” Just who were the guys I remember, after more than 30 years? There were several Hispanics. Most of them were Mexicans who had been living in the Southwest or California and had been drafted. They were good troops, but perhaps due to language differences, they usually kept to themselves. One fellow, Lopez, thought the English language was humorous, especially words like “paper.” Just saving it always cracked him up. There was also a Hispanic trainee from Costa Rica named Herrera. He was the only one who asked to go back to my country, but by then he was halfway through BCT, and it was a moot point. Valdramas was from Colombia. He was constantly trying to explain to people that he Hispanic, but not a Mexican. On the other hand, there was a fellow named Nicholas Squillace who insisted he was Mexican, although he plainly was not. I never figured that one out. Mogens (pronounced “Moans") Velarde was from Denmark. He was a studious kid who wisely tried to avoid drawing attention to himself, sort of the platoon’s “Ensign Pulver.” Pasqua called him “Velardy Moe-gans” throughout the cycle, but he always answered up in kind and never bothered to correct him. From the long-gone Union of South Africa came a trainee named Hoare. With a name like that, he had to be tough. Pasqua couldn’t address him with a straight face, so Hoare became Hoars' (“Horr-ray”) for the duration. Soong, who was born in China, was a top athlete, beating the rest of us in PT. Coblyn was a Japanese kid who had been adopted by an American family as a child. He was one of the few who really wanted to go to OCS and have a career in the Army. Not all were cut out for Army life. Among the draftees were two men who desperately wanted out. Meagans, who came to us from somewhere in the U.K. and was living in L.A. when he got his draft notice, was a true conscientious objector, and should never have been in the Army. He refused to pick up a weapon, and was eventually reassigned to a Medic unit. Halfway through the training cycle, Clausen, a German, claimed that he had started seeing human faces on the targets on the M-16 rifle range. He convinced the Army psychiatrists that he was a Section 8 — mentally unfit. Clausen managed to pull off something that Cpl. Klinger on “M*A*S*H” never did, and was gone. Movin’ out After BCT, we were assigned our MOS (military occupational specialties) and sent on to advanced individual training, or AIT. Most of us were 11B — light weapons infantry. Since Fort Ord was an infantry training base, many of the “International Platoon’s” COMRADES IN ARMS: Members of Drill Sgt. Pasqua's ‘International Platoon' pose for their group photo at Fort Ord California, in February 1970. Pvt. Toler is on third row, far left. llB’s remained there for AIT At the end of AIT. the National Guardsmen returned to their home units to begin their six-year commitments. The Warrenton unit — Co. C, 3rd Battalion, 116th Infantry — had several men from Rappahannock serving then, including Roger Cordani and the Atkins brothers, Levi and Jeremiah, all of the Amisville area. Frank Cox, son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. R. O. Bridges of Washington, was also in the unit. I am sure that most of the draftees and Regular Army soldiers I trained with were sent to Vietnam as replacement ground troops. On Veteran's Day, I think about the men I knew in the Army, especially the foreign nationals who I trained with in the “International Platoon.” It was a good experience for me. and I am proud to have known them. They were not American cit izens, and it is ironic that they ended up fighting a war that many Americans opposed. On their return from honor able service in Vietnam, these men, too, should have been offered American citizenship. Or in the worst case, that they got more from their “adopted country” than their name on the Wall at the Vietnam Memorial. John Tbler is executive vice president of the Rappahannock News.

Committee reports on ways to increase school funding Bv Amy Silver Special to the Rappahannock News A school study committee has made five recommendations to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors on wavs to increase public school funding. County Administrator John McCarthy presented the final report of the Alternative School Funding Study Committee to the supervisors at their Nov. 3 meeting with the recommendations. Charged by the supervisors with exploring avenues for increased public school funding, the committee’s members include Martin Woodard, Cliff Miller, Bill Dietel, School Superintendent Robert Chappell, Headwaters/ Rappahannock County Public Schools Graritwriter Amy Silver and McCarthy. The report • said that "although we believe there is no single action the Board of Supervisors can take that will dramatically affect real estate taxes in Rappahannock County, we are making five recommendations, which taken together will help provide substantial support for public schools without a commensurate increase in taxes." The five recommendations are to seek state support for open space preservation; increase the amount of land under easement in the county; fund a grantwnter/fund-raiser position in the school system; fund a Rappahannock County research associate as part of the county administration; and support a Rappahannock County Public Schools Staff Development Fund. The following explains the recommendations in detail: • Seek state support for open space preservation. This recommendation would seek to compensate for the Commonwealth’s formula for determining state education aid 'the Local Composite Index, or LCD. which does not recognize the substantial tax revenue foregone bv localities who successfully encourage open-space preservation. The committee proposed that the county seek a political, “appropnations-based" remedy for the skewing effect of the LCI by lobbying the state to appropriate funds as part of the biennial budget, reimbursing localities such as Rappahannock County that have forgone greater than 50 percent of its local land valuation through the functioning of a local Land Use Value taxation program. • Increase the amount of land under easement in the county. When calculating the LCI, the state considers the value of real property to bo its full market value unless the land has been placed under easement. Thus land under easement has the effect of lowering the LCI and thereby increasing state aid to the county Currently there are approximately 14,587'acres under easement in the county, producing an annual increase of $84,750 over revenues received if the land had simply been enrolled in the Use Value taxation program. Approximately 701 other parcels of land of 50 acres or more exist in the county, representing a total of 87,500 acres, for a potential of over $500,000 in additional state aid. Although Conservation Easements are not appropriate for all landowners, the potential impact on public finance is substantial. To increase the amount of land under easement, the committee recommended the county encourage and facilitate voluntary placement of land under easement and implement a Conservation Easement Purchase program. (The county recently authorized formation of an Advisory Committee to study such a program, an action endorsed by the committee in its report. > • Eund a Grant writer/ Fund-raiser position in the School System. A pilot Grant writer "Fund raiser position. jointly funded by Headwaters and the Rappahannock County Public Schools (RCPS), was initiated in January to seek new sources of funding and other resources. The committee’s report detailed the grantwriter's approach as well as several recent successes including a $5,000 grant from the Loeb Foundation towards a new sound and light system for Rappahannock County Elementary School, a school-wide suite of Geographic Information System (GIS) software and books donated to Rappahannock County High School, and a $145,650 "PEP" grant from the U S. Department of Education to help establish at RCPS fitness-based PE. programs aligned with Virginia’s Standards of Learning in PE. (The federal funds represent 88.25 percent of total project costs, to be matched by $19,360 in local funds, or 11.75 percent of total project costs.) The committee recommended that the Grantwriter/ Fund-raiser be transitioned to a permanent, ftilly-ftmded position within the school system. • Fund a Rappahannock County Research Associate position as part of the county administration. The committee recommended that a part-time Research Associate position be established in the county to provide support for public planning. respond to requests from the County Administrator and identity potential new resources for schools and other public institutions The Research Associate would network with regional organizations and local groups active in public policy and planning. Finally, the Research Associate could provide stuff support for a potential Task Force developing an overall vision for Rappahannock County linking school improvement, community development, sustainable agriculture and appropriate economic growth. This position has been funded on a pilot basis for the next fiscal year with a combination of private and public funds; the committee recommended that thereafter it be funded in the county budget as a permanent position. • Support a Rappahannock County Public Schools Staff Development Fund The RCPS Staff Development Fund is a proposed approach to resolving apparently conflicting commitments the community has made—first, to keeping the county scenic; second, to having schools “Second to None." To help ameliorate the impact of the LCI, and based on its view that great teachers make a great school system, the committee encouraged the creation of the “RCPS Staff Development Fund." Founded by a group of Rappahannock County landowners who will pledge annual donations of a portion of the taxes they save under the Land Use program, the fund would be supported solely by private contributions. Initially established under the aegis of Headwaters, the fund would provide professional development, incentives and recruitment support to improve the quality of instruction at RCPS. The initiative would also help to continue the work of the Greve Grant at RCPS to realize fullv the power of the Effective Schools model. Although this wall bo a privately funded program requiring no public support, the committee nonetheless requested the personal support of each of the supervisors for the program and for the proposition that county landowners of means should voluntarily contribute to the school system each year as a “cost of staying green." At the conclusion of a short question-and-answer session, Chairman Charles K. “Pete” Estes commended the committee members, all of whom were present, on having— un-committee-like— produced a tangible result in a short period of time. General applause ensued. Copies of the report are available to the public from the County Administrator’s office.

Nine of these students of distinction graduated from Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly in June and of the nine, six hail from the Rappahannock County area. Maureen Dale of Luray Stephen Dowell of Castleton and Elizabeth Williams of Winchester achieved the rank of AP Scholar with Distinction, having received an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken and a grade of 3.0 or higher on five or more of these exams. Achieving the rank of AP Scholar with Honor, having earned an average of 3.25 or above on all AP exams taken and a grade of 3.0 or higher on four or more of these exams were Hallee Morgan of Flint Hill and Alex Purnell and David Riedel of Washington. Three students achieved the rank of AP Scholar, having received a grade of 3.0 or higher on three or more AP exams: Christina Luke and Arlen Sherwood of Washington and Steven Fernandez of Front Royal. This College Board program gives students the opportunity to take challenging college-level courses during their high school years and then obtain college credit or receive advanced placement (or both) based on their performance on the AP Exams. Thirty-four AP Exams are offered in a wide variety of subject areas and more than 1,400 of the nation’s colleges and universities award full year’s credit (sophomore standing) to students with a sufficient number of qualifying grades. When asked to what he attributes the high AP scores achieved by so many seniors from Wakefield, Headmaster Michael Vargo responded, “Our graduating class consisted of an unusually high number of exceptional students of whom we are extremely proud. “Aside from their own personal drive for academic excellence, most of these young men and women had the added benefit of having been exposed to at least six years of Wakefield’s classical curriculum. “I believe the emphasis we place on core subjects serves our students well, giving them a solid foundation on which they can build their academic achievements,” said Vargo.

An outstanding pitching performance was turned in by Sean “Little P “ Knick, by pitching his first complete game. Blaine Laffin, Chris Miller, Charlie Peavley and Ryan Johnson turned in strong defensive performances. Kirby Purdom and Jared Elliot dominated on the mound for the second game and gave the Rapp minors its second win of the day. Colton Clate lead the offensive with a triple and a home run. Ryan Johnson went three for four on the day including a triple. The Minors had a record of six and eight for the season; the team really came together and learned a lot. The Rookie team coached by Ed Lezcano, Brent Wilson and Kenner Love had its final game for the season and beat a Fauquier team from Marshall by a score of 4-0. All the players were a little cold but several prevailed to turn in some great performances. Bobby Shuck hit a home run and catcher Gary Jenkins had a good game up until the fourth inning when a pitch hit him and he had to come out. All the players enjoyed the season and look forward to the Spring Season with the Rookie League in place for seven and eight year olds. The Rookie team coached hy Chuck Putnam, Gary Hitt, Walter Frye and Junior Pullen played a game against a team from Taylor on Saturday. With second baseman Dylan Hitt out with a season ending injury and first baseman Travis Pullen, the young team played well. Ben Willson worked the putfield by throwing to shortstop Evan Hitt to stop advancing runners. Hitt caught a pop fly to end an inning. Nick Putnam and Chris Berry, filling in at first, made some great catches for some easy outs. The Taylor team won by a score of 8-5. This team’s last game is Saturday at 11 a.m. at Stuart Field. All in all the Fall Season for the Rappahannock Athletic Association was a good one. Many players received experience that they would not have gotten in the spring playing against the Fauquier and Loudoun teams. In the spring there will be T-ball, Rookie, Minor, Majors and Babe Ruth. Watch for the registration dates starting in January.

Students learn to convert tractor to run on vegetable oil By Amy Silver Special to the Rappahannock News When Dr. Rudolf Diesel showed his new invention at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900, the engine ran on 100 percent pure peanut oil. Dr. Diesel said, “The use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant today. But such oils may become in course of time as important as petroleum and the coal tar products of the present time.” To participants in last week’s “Grow Your Own Fuel” workshop, that time is now. Jointly sponsored by Hearthstone School, Sunnyside Institute and the Captain Planet Foundation, the workshop was free and open to all ages. A group including local students, farmers, and interns, under the guidance of instructor Amos Blanton, converted Hearthstone School’s diesel-engine tractor so that it will run on straight vegetable oil (SVO) recycled from local restaurants. Blanton runs his converted Jetta on recycled oil from Amissville’s E-COW restaurant. “I wanted to do the workshop because when I get a car I want to convert it to run on vegetable oil,” said 10th grader Anna Oehser of Washington, who attends Hearthstone School. “It’s better for the environment and we’re using recycled oil. Plus I learned more about engines than I knew before” Alternating between classroom presentation and roll-upyour-sleeves-work on the tractor, the workshop provided participants with both practical and conceptual knowledge about alternative fuels. Topics covered included fuel-producing crops and yields; how to modify a diesel engine to run on SVO; how to make biodiesel fuel (which runs in unmodified diesel engines); the politics of petroleum and lifecycle analysis. Lifecycle analysis, or LCA, helps assess the ratio of energy used in fuel production to energy produced, as well as other environmental costs and benefits. For example, in biodiesel/SVO production, a gallon of fuel invested yields (on average) 3.2 gallons produced. In petroleum-based fuel production and distribution, one gallon of fuel invested yields an average of .83 gallons returned (that’s right, folks—less than 1:1. It costs us more than a gallon of gas to make a gallon of gas, not counting political costs). In addition to students from Hearthstone School, Rappahannock High School, and a homeschooled student, participants included two students from Earth University in Costa Rica who are interning at Sunnyside Institute. The interns, Robert Cordova and Fabian Jimenez, gave presentations to the class on the use of biodiesel and biodi Photos courtesyAmy Silver Students and and other participants at last week’s “Grow Your Own Fuel” workshop at Hearthstone School learn how to convert a diesel-engine tractor so that it wili run on vegetable oil. gesters at Earth University. Homegrown fuel can be made from any vegetable oil. according to Blanton, including oils pressed straight from the seed such as soy, sunflower, canola and hemp, as well as from recycled restaurant cooking oils. Among the benefits of biodiesel/SVO use are reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, the primary cause of the greenhouse effect, by up to 100 percent. Since biodiesel is more lubricating than diesel fuel, it increases engine life and can be used to replace sulfur, a lubricating agent that, when burned, produces sulfur dioxide, the primary component in acid rain. Biodegradable and nontoxic, biodiesel is safe to handle. With a high flash point, or ignition temperature, of about 300J)t F (175 degrees higher than petroleum), biodiesel is safe to transport. Janet Davis of workshop co-sponsor Sunnyside Institute, the research and education arm of Sunnyside Farms, said she is looking into the possibility of running all of Sunnyside’s tractors on biodiesel/SVO. Participant Eric Plaksin, of Families with dry wells can cet help from state You may have plenty of water in your well now, but remember when your well or spring was dry? It wasn't that long ago.

L Kate Ferguson (wearing gloves), a senior at Rappahannock High School, filters used vegetable oil collected from Sperryville’s Coyote Cafe restaurant. Sperry ville’s Waterpenny Farm, said that Waterpenny will explore planting an acre in an oil-producing crop to fuel their machinery, allowing them to market produce that is not only organic, but also produced without petroleum. "Conversion to renewable fuels can work in Rappahannock County in a big way,” said Blanton at the conclusion of the workshop. "With the local commitment to sustainable agriculture and responsible living, plus the level of community involvement that's habitual here, it’s a place where biodiesel could be pioneered on a substantial scale,” A book by leading biodiesel advocate Joshua Tickell, “From the Fryer from the Fuel Tank,” will be available to check out at Rappahannock County Library For more information on biodiesel/SVO, visit Blanton's website, www.bokonen.com.

It occurred to us that the election of 2003 in Rappahannock County illustrated both what's really good about our elections here and what's really bad about them. One of the really good things was the spirited and competitive race for county sheriff. Two well-qualified ; candidates competed for the office, offering the voters a * real choice. The lively contest between incumbent Z Sheriff Larry Sherertz and challenger Steve Butler energized many citizens of the county to become involved on one side or the other. This triggered a real - debate on important questions ranging from the qualifications and experience of the two men to the cost of * running the sheriffs department and the quality of law enforcement in the county. That's exactly what elections are supposed to accomplish]) provide a choice, inform the public, energize the voters and revitalize the body politic. We owe a debt of thanks both to Mr. Butler and to Mr. Sherertz for engaging in this demanding and difficult process, and doing it with dignity. That's the good news. The bad news is that in three of the five voting districts of Rappahannock County, no such thing happened in the races for the county Board of Supervisors, which is the key decision-making body for the county. Three incumbent supervisors]) Charles K. "Pete" Estes of Piedmont, Robert Anderson of Stonewall-Hawthome and Roger Welch of Wakefield district, got a free ride to re-election without any opponent. That's more shame-on-us than shame-on-them. Nobody stepped up to the plate in those districts to give us a real election. Elections that offer no choice are not really elections]) they are coronations. Still, even elections without challengers produce winners and losers. In no-contest elections, the incumbents are the winners and the voters are the losers. In these situations, there is no debate on issues, there is no energizing of voters and there is no need for incumbents to even explain what they think. When this happens year after year, non-competitive elections breed in incumbents a sense of entitlement to the office they hold, which is unhealthy in a democracy. Thankfully, voters in the other two districts were offered choices for supervisor. Though incumbents Bryant Lee of Hampton district and Ron Frazier of Jackson district were returned to office, the presence of challengers made them listen more carefully to their constituents and compelled them to publicly explain their views in candidate forums and other meetings. We congratulate all the winners and we salute all the "losers," who weren’t really losers at all. They performed a public service in giving us choices and making I us think about the kind of leadership we want and the ■ issues we care about. That s the great thing about elec- tions. We hope that next time we vote in 2007, there will be challengers and choices and a chance for democracy to work in every race for every office in the county. Thanks to the community’ The Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish, presenters of the 47th Annual Dried Flower Sale and House Tour, wish to express their heartfelt thanks for the invaluable assistance of the people of this community whose efforts made possible the great sue cess of this year’s endeavor At the same time, they extend their appreaation to those who came from near and far to support this event which provides major funding for the chanties of the church Helen Williams House Tour Chair ‘Most successful book fair’ at county elementary school Rappahannock County students like to read. Rappahannock County parents like to encourage reading. These observations were proven in the recent Scholastic Book Fair at the Rappahannock County Elementary'School. We had the most successful book fair ever and we wish to thank the students, parents, faculty and staff of RCES as well as fnends in the community. A very special thank you goes to the Rappahannock County Public Library and Cindy Arbelbide, for the help and support as we both strive for the same goal — encouraging children to read and be life-long learners. Aney Massie Librarian, RCES Letters Rappahannock Today ‘Thanks to all’ for county’s first hazardous waste pickup On behalf of the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County, I am writing to thank the Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative, manager Nick Norman, forklift operator Kenny Buracker and the faculty and staff of Rappahannock County Elementary School for their support during the county’s first Household Hazardous Waste Pickup Day. Held at the school's rear parking area on Saturday, Nov. 1, some 75 persons brought materials to be disposed. A total of 33 55-gallon drums, 11 onecubic yard boxes and an additional five- gallon container of materials were collected. Wastes included paints, solvents, pesticides, herbicides, fuels and batteries and were all shipped out of county for final disposal through incineration, landfilling or re-use. Again, many thanks to all involved in this effort. John W. McCarthy County Administrator ‘Democracy in action?’ I thought the citizens of Rappahannock County might be interested in the following facts as it does involve their tax dollars. A few years ago portions of Grimsley Road (Route 638) were tarred/chipped. Most of the residents were not aware it had even been proposed; their mistake for not staying current with VDOT’s plans. Harry and Nancy Newlin have requested the rest of Grimsley Road be hard surfaced. There are no other residents of this road in agreement with the Newlins, which was made clear at both public hearings. VDOT re-evaluated the road and reported “no immediate need” for surface changes. The Newlins were still unwilling to withdraw their request and still making multiple calls to the Warrenton Residency. G. Moore of VDOT proposed a compromise: extend the hard surfacing approximately 0.3 mile to the Newlin’s driveway! This will cost us all $30,000. More citizens called, wi'ote or spoke out against this expenditure. On Monday night the Board of Supervisors voted to support the compromise and spend the money. There were 25 who spoke out against this. Even the Newlins did not want the compromise solution. Which meant it was 27 to 0 for the compromise. Ignoring the recommendation of the Wakefield District Supervisor, three other Supervisors voted to support the compromise, which no one wants. Democracy in action? Jennifer L. Alexander Flint Hill Arborist says answer is ‘education and awareness’ I was delighted to read in last week’s Rappahannock News that I was appointed arborist for the Town of Washington. My dream job! My opinion usually doesn’t count for much hut now that I hold such a prestigious position maybe someone will pay attention to it. I would much rather see a program of education and awareness than a Tree Ordinance. Most residents of our town love their trees, even though many of them are victims of shoddy work ithe trees that is). Be aware that I was the one who recommended at least one of the recent controversial removals, for safety reasons. Based just on my casual observation, I would undoubtedly recommend many more around town, if called upon to officially assess the situation. And a Tree Ordinance is not much use if there is no one to enforce it. I will not have much time available for this task in the next five years or so. due to my contract with Sprint for pruning their Stealth Trees. Lyt Wood Sperryville Thanking everyone for ‘an incredible surprise’ About four and a half years ago, my life changed dramatically with the birth of Sidney. She was a tiny two pound 13 ounce baby fighting for life and I remember driving to Charlottesville every day hoping she made it through the night. It was the longest 99 days imaginable. I felt so alone through most of it while my husband worked several jobs to get by and make sure I could be there with our baby everyday. One of the best days of my life was the day'*’ she came home. I wanted to just sit and rock her at home where it was quiet without beeping alarms and monitors. She has been sick a lot, having 14 bouts with pneumonia in her short life. This year, her health has been good so far and she has definitely grown a lot. Sidney is so excited to be starting school soon, almost as excited as she gets every time she rides her “elevator” in her new van. I don’t know where to begin, thanking everyone for such an incredible surprise — Amy Dodson, my sister-in-law for creating the fund and Candace Clough, the most amazing person I have ever met. I met her when she hired me to work as a gardener. It was my first time back to work after many years as a stay-at-home mom. It was great to just get some fresh air and finally have someone who tries to understand my situation, as a mother of a child with cerebral palsy. She has done so many special things for me and I want to thank her and her husband Scott with all my heart. I also want to thank Bubby Settle and his family for working so hard to make this happen, the Strother family for selling the van so reasonably and this wonderful community for all of its donations. Thanks for keeping the secret. It was a great surprise and a wonderful gift to my daughter. I still feel like it's a dream. Ill never feel alone here in Rappahannock Thank you with all my heart. Shelly Dodson Flint Hill ‘We are all entitled to express our opinions and views’ In response to the let tors of Hal Hunter and Bob Dennis which were published in the Oct 23 edition of the Rappahannrxk Newn, I would like to submit the following comments. Each of us brings to the table our own life experiences. My response to the proposed new lighting ordinance tried to do just that. We are all entitled to express our opinions and views on any and all matters that effect our county. We should be able to do so with RCHS class reunion was ‘a fun time’ We have had inquiries about the Rappahannock County High School reunion. A picnic was held this summer at the Rappahannock County Recreation Center in Washington There were over 100 in attendance representing classes from 1951 'the first graduates of RCHS; through 196'i as well as two teachers, Charlotte Nichols and Larry Bolyard. It was sponsored by the Class of 1958, celebrating 45 years since graduation. Many of those attending had not seen their fellow students since graduation. It w?as especially memorable for the Class of 1953 as they celebrated 50 years with 12 members attending Although most have remained in Virginia there were some who traveled from California, Colorado, West Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina Each one tried to out cook the others so there was quite an array of dishes from which to choose There was a great time of remembering as people brought and shared pictures, albums, posters and address es We will plan another for 2008 when the Class of‘58 celebrates its 50th. If you have not attended one of these picnics you have missed a fun time Watch the paper for the next gathering. Through the generosity of those attending, we were able to make a gift to help with the construction of the new track at Rappahannock County High School in memory of those students that are no longer with us.

Reader Reaction to Calendar ‘I have never seen anything like this’ calendar in 75 years I have been reading in the Rappahannock News for two weeks about those Nude Men Calendars. I have been living in Rappahannock all my life. I am 75 years old and I have never seen anything like this before. I think it is ridiculous to do such a thing for our school with teenage boys and girls. Isn’t this a bad example for them? I do hope and pray that the School Board will not except the money. If these men wanted to help the school they should have done it in a decent way. I was really shocked to hear that a good friend of mine was doing this, “Ben Cooter Jones.” I would never have thought that of him. These people that are doing this are mostly from the city and are trying to make Rappahannock County like where they come from. Our county was a nice place to live until all of these strangers moved in. When things like this (Nude Men Calendars) happen, it makes you want to move out of the county. I don’t know why anyone would want something like that hanging in their home. Lillie Corbin Sperryville The School Board should take it with a smile’ The Rappahannock County schools are looking for $65,678 this year from the Virginia Lotto South (Lottery System.! Last year they got $7,618 from the state ABC Board (wine sales) and this year is looking for $8,000 and yet the School Board is keeping quiet on getting money from the Men of Rappahannock calendars to help out with a track for the high school and the kids. This in all is Tainted Money and the School Board should take it with a smile. Frank McGhee Jr. Amissville ‘We will not frequent merchants who sell the calendar’ This past week a number of interesting items relating to the Rappahannock County nude male calendar fund-raising scheme were brought to my attention and a few questions were raised. We have been told these nude male calendars are wildly successful and that the money will flow into the coffers beyond anyone’s wildest expectation. • What they did not tell you was that the two most successful fund-raising calendars with male models featured men fully clothed; heavily and cumbersomely clothed at that. The calendars were the Oklahoma City Fire Fighters’ calendar, which raised funds for families of the victims of the Alfred P Murrah Federal Building bombing. The other is a calendar produced by various engine and ladder companies of the FDNY to raise money for the families of their fallen comrades after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Of interest in these calendars were the men’s faces and eyes—faces expressing determination, bravery, honor, loyalty, trustworthiness, stamina and valor; eyes reflecting kindness and unspeakable sadness. These calendars are collectors’ items. Then the other day at the Post Office 1 was asked if I thought the teachers and staff at the Rappahannock schools would be allowed to hang the Rappahannock nude fund- raising calendar in their classrooms or offices? Could the young scholars of the county use the calendars to keep track of their homework assignments and extracurricular activities such as track meets, etc? Those are questions I couldn’t answer but I took comfort in the fact the ‘cultural elite’ and intelligentsia of Rappahannock County would surely find justification for widespread distribution and display of the calendar as they do not find the calendar offensive or inappropriate, especially if it could raise a few more dollars. We then agreed that we, in spite of the fact that we are called self-righteous, holierthan-thou, sanctimonious, humorless and religiously controversial will not be frequenting merchants or proprietors who sell and display this very questionable and embarrassing calendar.

When we run on this one we constantly fall down or trip because of all the pot holes and grass growing onto the dirt track. We can’t hold any home track meets because no one can run on our track. So we have to leave school early 1 not saying that is a bad thing) to travel to other schools. I think that what these brave men are doing is very thoughtful. They will bare everything to raise money for our schools. Some think that it is a “disgrace” to have such men do such a thing, that it is not a good thing and that they are influencing the “kids.” But I guarantee that every single person at Rappahannock County High School knows exactly what these men are (the calendars don’t show anything) "hiding.” I think that the calendar is a great way to raise money. It is also very funny. Emily Raney Amissville ‘People of Rappahannock need to lighten up a little’ I recently moved from Rappahannock County to Santee, S. C. We love it here. It is very quiet, beautiful, green, non-political and has some of the sanest people I have ever met. I think that the calendar is a great idea and I believe, that the people of Rappahannock County need to lighten up a little. Last time I knew anything about the school system, and that was this past school year, there were major issues among the student population that warranted a lot more indignation than is being spent on this calendar. If the people of Rappahannock County believe that the values of their students are going to be tarnished by this calendar, they should take a look at the pregnancy rate among the student body during the past eight to 10 years. I think a lot of the students have seen someone in some state of nudity and not in a picture that masks the major private body parts. If the self-righteous people of Rappahannock have forgotten how to have a good time, perhaps they need to step hack and take a second look at themselves. I know that many of the citizens of Rappahannock still remember .how to laugh at themselves. If the School Board does not want the money for the track from the producers of the calendar, I have asked the calendar producers to give the money to an anonymous donor. That way, maybe the Board would be able to accept the money more easily. I cannot really believe that they would not accept a donation for the track, no matter who offers it. I think the energy being spent on putting down a good idea could be put to use in many better ways. Good luck to the producers of the calendar and 1 have put in my order for several calendars.

Week in Sports RCHS varsity volleyball squad captures Bull Run title By Chris Ehrhart Special to the Rappahannock News The beginning of the final week of district competition and for many the most exciting week of the season for the Rappahannock County High School volleyball teams was Oct. 27. The JV team completed its regular season with an 11-5 overall, and 6-4 district, record. They finished the season in second place to earn a spot in the JV championship to be held Nov. 8. The varsity squad also experienced much success earning three wins to finish the season with a 19-1 overall record, 10-0 in the Bull Run district. RCHS clinched the regular season title and by doing so also earned a berth in the Region B tournament and the right to host the district tournament. The week began at home on Monday the 27th when Rappahannock hosted a match against George Mason. The JV squads took the court first. George Mason had defeated the young Panthers earlier in the season and came to RCHS with a 4-3 record, tied for second with the Rappahannock. The Panthers jumped ahead quickly, outscoring George Mason 17-5 after two rotations. RCHS exhibited strong serving only missing one serve and accumulating nine aces in the first game alone. The Panthers won the first feame 25-11. In the second game, Rappahannock once again started off strongly, outscoring George Mason 10-1 after two rotations; however, the Mustangs did not give up easily. Determined to leave Rappahannock still in second place, Mason often tried to rally but with aggressive net play from the Panthers, GMHS fell short. Rappahannock won the second game 25-20 to win the match and gain sole possession of number two in the Bull Run District. Highlights of the night included six kills from Samantha Brown, two from Noel Johns, and one each from Rebecca Tupper, Nicole Brown, and Aurelia Malek. Samantha also had two blocks and Nicole one. The Panthers also accumulated 14 aces for the evening. The varsity squads took the court shortly after the JV match. For fans, the match was not as exciting as the one before, but it did allow fans to see players in many unique situations. Rappahannock, taking on last-place George Mason, placed hitters time in the back row and defensive players at the net. RCHS won the match in three straight sets with scores of 25-13, 2511, and 25-10. Six different hitters tallied kills. Ryisha Cook had nine, Anna Kreyling had seven, Mattie Nawrocki four, Danielle Hiserman two, and Lara Kreyling and Ashleigh Burke had one each. Lara assisted in 17 of the 24 kills. Anna and Ryisha also had four blocks each. On the following night, the volleyball squads traveled to Strasburg to take on the Rams with the JV game beginning at 6 p.m. In the first game, the two teams battled back and forth but Strasburg came out on top with a score of 25-21. In the second game, Strasburg lead 16-7 after four rotations. RCHS, with Katie Burke serving, went on an eight-point run to close the gap to 15-16. However, Rappahannock earned only one more point before Strasburg scored the last point to win the game 2517 and the match 2-0. The varsity match proved to be quite exciting as many Rappahannock fans loaded the gym with hopes of watching RCHS clinch the district title. Strasburg’s varsity squad came into the night with a 7-1 district record, losing only to Rappahannock earlier in the season, and was undefeated at home at the beginning of the night. The first game was tense for both sides as the two teams battled back and forth. The score was tied seven times in the first game. With the score knotted at 24, a long serve gave Rappahannock a 25-24 lead. RCHS finally finished the game with a nicely- placed dink by Anna Kreyling over one of Strasburg’s blockers. The second game started off closely-contested with neither team able to score more than two points at a time during the first six rotations. With the score tied at 13-13 Rappahannock broke through to score six points in a row. With the score 19-13, Strasburg scored only two more points before the Panthers won the second game 25-15. With the completion of the second game many Rappahannock fans were brought to their feet with hopes of the third game being the final one. The crowd was loud and energized as the Panthers took the floor. RCHS scored the first three points and never looked back. Strasburg never led and tied the score only twice at 19 and 20. With the score tied at 20, Rappahannock ran off five consecutive points to win the third game 25-20 and sweep the match. The win over Strasburg earned the Panthers their second consecutive Bull Run District title and a berth in the regional tournament. Highlights of the night included 13 kills by Anna Kreyling and nine by Ryisha Cook. Anna and Ryisha also earned five blocks. Lara Kreyling had 19 assists for the night. Anna had four aces, Lara three, Ryisha two, while Rachel Gall and Mattie Nawrocki each added one. Thursday, Oct. 30 was not only the last home match of the regular season but also Parents’ Night as RCHS hosted Manassas Park. With hopes of appearing in the JV championship, the young Panthers came out strong, winning the first game 25-7. In the second game Manassas Park put up more of a struggle but still faltered under strong serving. RCHS won the second game 25-11 to win the match 2-0. Christina Naramore had 15 aces for the evening while Katie Burke, Nicole Brown, and Samantha Brown added two each. Rebecca Tupper and Elvira Yanez completed the ace count with one each. Samantha and Hannah Gall each had two kills for the night while Rebecca and Christina had one each.

HS RCHS Harriers finish season at Region B Meet By Allen Comer Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock County High School cross country team completed its season on i Saturday, Nov. 1 at the Region B Meet in Naruna. The Panther runners, with 253 points, finished ninth out of 12 teams in the competition. RCHS was led by Alex Ramey, who placed 35th, in an 87-man field, with a time of 19:06. Completing the Panther scoring totals were Kevin Martin (52nd, 20:08), Brian Brown (53rd, 20:10), Josh Makela (62nd, 20:45) and Larry Oliver (67th, 21:23). Page County High School (43 points) won the boys’ competition, narrowly defeating Madison County (51 points). In the girls’ meet, Central-Woodstock won with a score of 49. Freshman Football After controlling the first half, the RCHS freshman football team was overpowered by Manassas Park in the second half and lost 26-12 on Saturday, Nov. 1. The RCHS freshman team came out strong, with quarterback Corey Hitt hitting Irving Smith for a 46-yard completion on the game’s first play. Smith was tripped-up at the last minute on what appeared to have been a sure touchdown. Hitt hit Smith once more in the first half for a long completion that resulted in a touchdown. Behind strong running by Erick Montague, the Panthers con trolled the opening quarters and took a 12-8 lead into halftime. However, the Cougars used a strong running game to control the final half and secure a 26-12 victory. i&,- ’ ;i»^tVs>ipMMj' l£ir*-.

Volleyball From Page A9 the JV record to 6-4 in the district and earned a spot in the JV Championship. The varsity match was another interesting match for spectators as the team was not only able to allow hitters time in the back row and defensive players time at the net, but allowed many players a chance to set as well. Four players recorded assists for the night while six players tallied kills. Rappahannock won the match in three straight sets with scores of 25-16, 25-7, and 2624. Ryisha Cook had nine kills, Anna Kreyling had eight, Lara Kreyling added three, Sherri Woodward recorded two, and Danielle Hiserman and Mattie Nawrocki added one each.

Supervisors From Page A1 two-mile gravel portion of the road. Public comment at the meeting was overwhelmingly opposed to the proposed paving. The board heard from more than 15 citizens, many of whom live along Grimsley Road, and only one supported the paving plan. Sharon Payne, who lives on the road, said she opposed paving because traffic will speed up and make the route more dangerous. Matthew Tucker agreed that paving will mean higher speeds and will attract more motorcycle riders, who enjoy racing along the county’s winding, hilly back roads. Patty Brown, who lives on the road, opposed the project as “a waste of taxpayer money.” These sentiments were echoed by others in the audience as well as Supervisor Welch. Noting that “things have changed” from earlier times when country people generally wanted their roads paved, Welch said, “Today it seems like most of the people on this road do not want it paved.” He agreed that paving would mean faster driving along the road, and questioned whether paving made economic sense in this case. “I would not make a recommendation to tar-and-chip this road,” he concluded. But the three-man-majority disagreed. During the public hearing, Chairman Estes asked how many school children live along the road. Audience members said there was only one, and he does not attend Rappahannock public schools. Though no school buses currently use Grimsley Road, Estes noted that buses may have to use the road some time in the future. “I favor the VDOT plan” for partial paving, Estes said. Frazier, agreeing, made the motion to approve the project, with Lee seconding the motion. The 3-2 vote followed, with some in the audience appearing shocked or angry. A woman in the audience, Jennifer Alexander, held up a hand-lettered sign that said: “Democracy Fails.” She marched out of the meeting with the sign held aloft in both hands, followed by others who had opposed the project. Cell towers The cell towers’ issue, despite its history of contro / versy, didn’t generate such heat. The supervisors took up two requests from Sprint which won board approval two years ago to build a system of seven towers to pro-" vide wireless communications in part of the county. Sprint officials came to the meeting to ask the county to modify its permit to build an 80-foot-tall monopole tower along Route 522 south of Flint Hill. Responding to objections from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources that the tower could have an adverse affect on historic properties nearby, Sprint asked permission to change the tower design to a “monopine”—essentially, a fake pine tree 80 feet tall—to “lessen its visual presence” on the wooded site. The only public comment oh the design change came from attorney Bill Dobrovir of Sperryville, representing the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance, who said those two local groups supported Sprint’s request for the monopine tower. The board quickly approved the change. Next came Sprint’s request for a one-year exten sion of its permit to build the towers. The board initially approved the Sprint celltower system in November 2001, and last November granted a one-year extension to permit the company to complete required federal reviews of environmental and historical impact of the tower construction. Those reviews are now nearly complete, said Sprint attorney James Michal, and Sprint wants to begin building as soon as possible. Asked when Sprint will begin construction, Michal responded: “I am hopeful, but I cannot promise, that we will have by the first half of next year the ability to begin construction.” That will depend on completing final negotiations with the Federal Communications Commission on the proposed tower in Amissville, which he said would be reduced to 175 feet from the original 199-foot height. He also said Sprint has asked the FCC for permission to begin work on the other six towers while working out final details on the Amissville site. “Sprint has acted diligently over the past year trying to shake these approvals out of the FCC,” Michal said. Sprint has spent “tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars” on engineering and legal work and is eager to begin construction as soon as all federal clearances are approved, he added. In the public hearing on the issue, the Sprint attorney was asked when the system will be expanded to cover such areas as Sperryville and the western and southern portions of the county, which would not be served by the seven towers to the east and north. Michal responded: “We want to get a preliminary network up and see how the customers respond to it” before considering any expansion. He added, “We would not be able to predict where other sites would be planned” until Sprint sees what kind of usage and revenues the first towers generate. Robert Weinberg, who lives in the southern part of the county, asked the board to require Sprint to submit a plan to serve the rest of the county before granting the one-year extension. “It’s less than 50 percent of the county that is being served” by the planned seven towers, he said.

Ron Frazier said the company “acted in good faith” in pursuing its project, and Bryant Lee said, “I think we have to thank them for their patience” in dealing with all the paperwork required by federal rules. “They have spent a lot of time and money” preparing for work on the county system, he said. The extension was approved by all supervisors except Roger Welch, who abstained from the discussion and the votes because his family would benefit financially from the Sprint system as a landlord for one of the tower sites. In other action Monday, the board: • Decided that a proposed ordinance regulating lighting on commercial buildings needed modification and scheduled a work session for Thursday, Dec. 4 to consider amendments before taking the issue to a public hearing; • Approved a plan to convert the old Foster’s packing shed building north of Flint Hill to professional offices for up to seven occupants, but stripped away conditions recommended by the county Planning Commission for a paved deceleration lane at thte entrance and for compliance with the county’s proposed lighting ordinance; • Deferred action on a proposed county parking ordinance that would provide fines for parking violations along designated highways^ roads and streets. The matter is expected to be taken up at a future board meeting. j Census ♦ From Page A1 I The percentages are lower for women: two ! percent of those age 18 to j 64 years and 0.6 percent J of those age 66 years and ! older served. Of the veterans in Rappahannock County, | five percent served in the ' past 10 years; 13 percent j served from 1975 to 1990; 37 percent in the J Vietnam era; 16 percent ; from 1955-1964; 13 per- j cent in the Korean War ; and 16 percent in World j War II. j This information is based on reports from the 2000 U.S. Census forms that were completed by county residents. The proportion of men who are veterans varies markedly by county district. Only 32 percent of older men in Wakefield are veterans, whereas fully 84 percent of older men in Piedmont district are veterans. In the other three districts, the percentage of older men who are veterans is Hampton, 56 percent; StonewallHawthome, 64 percent and Jackson, 68 percent. Rappahannock is similar to other counties in the region. For example, the percentage of men age 18 to 64 years who are veterans ranges from 16 percent for Culpeper County to 24 percent for Fauquier County. The percentage of men age 65 years and older who are veterans ranges from 59 percent for Madison County to 67 percent for Culpeper, Fauquier and Warren counties. For women, those age 18 to 64 years who are veterans varies from 1.2 percent in Page County to 2.4 percent in Warren County. At age 65 years and older, the percentage ranges from 0.4 percent in Warren County to 2.5 percent in, Fauquier County. Dr. Maureen Harris is a resident of Woodville.

Gannon Special to the Rappahannock News Sharon Wimer, who has worked at Cooter’s Place in Sperryville for the last five years, was wondering what she would do when the famous Dukes of Hazzard roadside museum closed for good this month. One recent morning she was eating breakfast at Diana’s Country Diner on Sperryville’s historic Main Street, when owner Diana Sekford told Sharon she was ready to give up her business if she could find someone to take over her lease. Bingo! Just like that, Sharon Wimer saw her future unfolding and after a quick call to the building owner, the Blue Ridge Diner was bom. The new Main Street eatery opened last week and by the weekend was already doing a booming business thanks to the heavy flow of autumn leaf-peepers who visit Rappahannock County every fall. “We were very busy all weekend and by Sunday night the girls were all worn out,” said Wimer, referring to her waitresses. Restaurants have been coming and going in Sperryville so fast lately that you almost need a scorecard to keep track. A place called Tomfoolery opened on Main Street and then closed before most people even knew about it. The Blue Moon Cafjo on Highway 211 closed this year and was succeeded by a Tex-Mex place called the Coyote Caf]j. Sunnyside Farms just opened an open-air burger bar at its new “Famous Rest Stop” on the highway, and soon the Sperryville Comer Store will open a new grill restaurant at the flashing red light on Main Street. The Appetite Repair Shop went through a succession of owner-operators in recent years in a downward spiral that ended in closure last spring. The building then was taken over by Diana Sekford, who operates another diner in Luray, and who shortly found she couldn’t manage both places effectively. By October, Diana’s was open only sporadically, when along came Sharon Wimer for breakfast.

Antony and his wife Sandra are the owners of Long Mountain Nursery. “Mountain of My Dreams” tells the story of the couple’s evolving dreams and their struggle to create an azalea nursery on a Rappahannock mountainside though they had no formal horticultural training, no real business experience, few mechanical skills and absolutely no idea what they were getting into. In 1977, the Antonys purchased 25-acres of land where they hoped to build a retirement home one day. Like a lot of people who discover Rappahannock, the two quickly became entranced by the region’s natural beauty, the fascinating people they met and the quieting effect their weekend visits had on their lives. Before long Richard began questioning why they had to wait until retirement to move to their “farm.” Despite Sandra’s uncanny ability to recognize the shortcomings of each new scheme, Richard kept churning out one idea after another, from creative commuting to doing woodcrafts, from finding local work to acquiring a license to work in the building trade. Then, one day, a Maryland neighbor suggested they consider starting an azalea nursery. Sandra and Richard, avid gardeners, immediately saw the merit of the idea. Within days, the couple began constructing an experimental nursery in their suburban backyard to help them gain first-hand knowledge of See RAAC, Page B10 ‘Flamenco’ Marija Temo, flamenco and classical guitarist, and special guest flamenco dancer Anna Menendez will perform at The Theatre on Gay Street in Washington on Saturday, Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under.

Roger was just about the kindest, gentlest man you would have had the pleasure to know. His tireless dedication to the Amissville Ruritan Club and to his many friends and family members was unparalleled. Roger could always be seen with a smile on his face, either in Warrenton at Hinchey’s or right here in Amissville at Hackley’s Store. Every year for the Christmas Basket delivery he was on hand and ready to go. His energy was abundant and he was always in good spirits. I will miss seeing him in his lit Amissville By AMY HITT i «7*34ei :vi MB tie truck or his P.T. Cruiser and every time I pass his house I will be thinking of him. Our heartfelt sympathy is sent to his daughter Cindy and to everyone who knew him. Amissville has surely lost one of its best citizens. Roger’s fondest wish was that the Ruritan building be completed. I encourage all of you to make a donation in his memory to the Amissville Ruritan Club so this may be accomplished. The Amissville Community Christmas Baskets fund-raiser is underway. Every year the Ruritan Club, Amissville Baptist Church, Bethel Baptist Church, Amissville United Methodist Church and the AUMW make baskets and deliver them to the needy and shut-ins in our area for Christmas. If you would like to make a donation to this project you may send it to RO. Box 75, Amissville, Va., 20106 or call Dorothy Hackley who is the Chairwoman. Canned food and non-perishable donations may be dropped off at Hackley’s Store, Lombardy’s Restaurant, Mayhugh’s Store and Settles Cars in Amissville. The Amissville Ruritan Club is taking orders for Navel oranges and Ruby Red grapefruit. A 20-pound box is $11 and a 40-pound box is $20.

•iffy By JASON STEIN WHEELBASE COMMUNICATIONS The Vue’s familiar shape is about to become a lot more recognizable for 2004. That’s because Saturn is embarking on a new mission of reeling in youthful buyers who crave performance as well as the no-haggle buying experience. Introduced in 2002, the Vue was a late arrival to the entrylevel crop of sport-utility vehicles that are noticeably smaller, more fuel-efficient and less robust than their larger — and usually sturdier — relatives. Fortunately, growth in the small-ute category shows no signs of flattening anytime soon and the Vue has quickly established itself against the Toyota Rav-4, Ford Escape, Jeep Liberty, Honda CR-V and Hyundai Santa Fe, to name a few. Q ror zuw, me Vue is about to challenge for category supremacy. In the past, the words ‘performance’ and ‘Saturn’ have never been synonymous. This General Motors’ Tennesseebased off ■ miuui nas coiiicu ii2» stripes by treating buyers witn a chummy degree of respect and — with its plastic composite body panels — appealing to rust-belt dwellers. But no one would ever confuse the company with its competitors that sell the kind of tiresquealing, road hugging cars that cater to the enthusiast crowd. Until now, that is. The five-passenger Vue will be available with what Saturn calls its Red Line package (pictured) that includes a performance-tuned suspension and steering, ground-effects body kit, and 50-series Bridgestone Turanza tires mounted on 18inch alloy wheels. And just in case you’re thinking the Red Line version of the Vue is nothing more than pretty-boy add-ons, Saturn also includes a 3.5-liter SOHC V6 that produces 250 horsepower and 242 Ib.-ft. of torque. The new Hondadenved engine, which is matched to a five-speed autob matic transmission, replaces last year's 181-horse 3.0-liter V6 that was an option. i According to Saturn, the Red Line will hit 60 mph in around seven seconds, mak ers in its class. I he 3.3 will also be available on non-Red Line models as an upgrade for the base 143horsepower 2.2-liter DOHC four-cylinder powerplant. As was the case last year, the four-cylinder is available with a five-speed manual transmission or optional continuously variable unit. All models can be specified with two- or all-wheel drive. Other '04 Vue upgrades consist of a larger fuel tank, extra sound-deadening material and three new available sound-system options, all with MP3-file Compatibility. A DVD player has also been added to the option sheet along with a seat comfort package that includes six-way power for the driver, heated front buckets and adjustable lumbar support. Additionally, all AWD V6 Vues get dark-tinted liftgate glass and 17-inch aluminum wheels. For a more personalized machine. Saturn carries more than 40 dealer-installed custom accessories for the Vue. which means you won’t have to hit all the aftermarket parts stores shopping for add-ons that make you stand out in a crowd. The Red Line Vue will join a similarly branded Ion quadcoupe (a 200-horsepower supercharged 2.0-liter fourcylinder will come in that version) later in the model year. Both should make a huge difference in the public's perception of the Saturn and will certainly capture the full and undivided attention of the import-oriented ‘tuner’crowd as well as anyone searching for style and sizzle wrapped up in a practical package. 14 Saturn V AfUiNdoor compact sport-ufiBy i , Litfe. avaiabte r» base or RedLre 4 EStadglt. !' : J 2-2 to DOHC 4, or optional i . _ SifiOHC V6, producing 147 and 2®.

Theatre and the Arts Rappahannock News Photo/Richard Lykes Storytelling “Nc Ordinary Person,” an evening of rich storytelling by members of the community now in its eighth year, was performed on Saturday evening at the Ki Theatre on Gay Street in Washington. This year's production, entitled “Memorable People in the Lives of Seven Storytellers,” touched chords of both the serious and not so serious, but all fun to an enchanted sold-out crowd. The stories told— all true in the lives of these people—included such topics as a young school girl’s revenge for a nerdy friend, monsoon rains in India, "working" for a Spanish domestic in your own household, a patient old-world violin professor, a young girl growing up in pre-war Berlin learning how to ride a horse from a brusque but in the end fair trainer, experiences of a homeowner with a snake in her bathroom, and one woman’s indefatigable and loving “favorite aunt.” Storytellers in this play with seven “acts" were from left: Renate Ruzich, Patty Hardee, Joyce Abell, Jane Coon, Sallie Morgan, Mary Carlson and Carla Theo.

Recital at Casdeton Theatre: music lovers’ delight By Richard Lyres Special to the Rappahannock News Superlatives in Roget’s are not adequate to describe the pleasure provided Sunday afternoon to music lovers of Rappahannock County at a benefit recital held for the Chateauville Foundation at the Castleton Theatre. It was arguably as fine and as exciting a recital as given in any great concert hall anywhere in the world. Two internationally acclaimed and gifted young musicians of extraordinary talent and personality performed. The young Japanese violinist Joji Hattori, born in Japan but raised in Vienna and now living In London, played lilting, melodic and inspiring chamber music by Schubert, Beethoven, and Kreisler—and even one composition by “our host” Maestro Lorin Maazel, who was in the audience with his wife, Dietlinde. Hattori was accompanied Review by Florian Uhlig, a young German pianist described in Musical Opinion as “one of the most'individual and imaginative young pianists of our time.” His impressive resume—graduate of the Royal Academy of Music and professor of master classes in piano at the Royal College of Music in London—only hints at his virtuosity and talent. Both artists played their hearts out for a very appreciative audience. The musicians at the end kept coming back for more encores because the enthusiastic music lovers wouldn’t stop applauding. The musical antiphony or “dialog” established by the violinist and the pianist as they “answered” each other in successive stanzas was especially pleasing. So, too, was the remarkable presence and engaging personalities of both violinist and pianist. Hattori’s technical prowess was equally matched by his wit and charm. At one point he told the audience in an aside that he had “all the freedom” to do what he wanted but his accompanist had to sense his every stroke of the bow. “Surely you jest!” Uhlig quickly retorted with an impish grin and great laughter from the audience. The audience was keenly aware of how the pianist carefully observed and responded to every motion of the bow of the violin at the pace set by the violinist. In addition to praise heard about the music, many people commented on how attractive the musicians were. Uhlig, the pianist, slender and tall, looking more like a young matinee idol than a musician, completely charged the intimate auditorium with his good looks as well as by his remarkable talent as he played his lyrical songs without words. Hattori, the master violinist, with an envious mop of black hair and smiling often in a playful way, engaged his audience with rapt attention and appreciation as he created unforgettable music with his instrument. And, Barbara Eckle, the young woman who turned the music sheets for the pianist, an accomplished musician and Oxford graduate, was as talented in reading music as she was lovely, reminding one of Greta Garbo when she was a young woman. All together, the evening was a sheer delight of great music and theater. The sparkling music, the engaging personalities of the performers and the beautiful setting at the Castleton Theatre on Sunday well sets the stage for the Chateauville Foundation’s anticipated spring season of private benefit events which starts in February. Two Master Print Makers Open Exhibits in Little Washington By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Tucker Hill of Madison County opened an exhibit of monotype prints at a reception at the Middle Street Gallery on Sunday afternoon. His works, often depicting the Blue Ridge Mountains and countryside around his home in Madison County, have been shown in galleries and museums in the mid-Atlantic region, Europe and South America. Monotype prints differ from those types of prints and etchings where an artist puts color on the surface and wipes it away, allowing the grooves to retain color, so that when pressed against paper what is held in the grooves transfers to the paper. Additional copies can be made of the original. In monotype you paint a picture on a flat surface (glass, plastic or metal) and press it against paper to copy what is there. It can happen only once, a monotype being a single original print not intended for additional copies. According to the artist, "Monotype as a form of printing has been around since the 17th century, when an Italian Renaissance artist, Castiglione, adopted it. Rembrandt about the same time also used a form of monotype combined with his Skippy Giles gri, abr, cfs 866-341-3607 • 540-341-3607 cegiles@realtor.com • www.SkippyGiles.com New!

Packing Shed Gallery Meanwhile, the Packing Shed Gallery on Saturday hosted a reception for Viviane de Kosinsky, an award-winning etcher known for her fine-line etching, often embellished with brilliant watercolor. The show is entitled "Small Pleasures." She began her art studies at the Rhode Island School of Design and then pursued a master's degree in Printmaking in Florence, Italy. She has received many awards for her work from a number of art societies and has been honored with solo shows in prominent galleries throughout the USA, Australia, England, Canada and Italy. de Kosinsky's work also is regularly exhibited at the Florida and New Mexico Miniature Art Societies and at the Miniature Painters, The management and staff of Moser Funeral Home sf is grateful to William H.

According to her literature, de Kosinsky's works with traditional line etching, drawing directly on the metal plate with a steel needle without the use of digital or photo techniques, or slide projectors. The plate is immersed in nitric acid baths and the prints are hand-pulled on an etching press. Some prints are taken from the edition and painted delicately and beautifully with watercolors, converting these proofs into unique paintings. Many of de Kosinky's paintings depict everyday scenes of streets, kitchens, hotels, restaurants, gardens, and landscapes, sometimes "peopled with cats, dogs, chefs and wild boars." She has a special fondness for Paris and Venice where she spent time studying. Her works are represented in the permanent collections of the Association of American University Women, the Florida Miniature Art Society, and the Historical Society of Amsterdam.

Theatre and the Arts Final concert in Mozart series to be held on Nov. 16 By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock New., Lambert Orkis on fortepiano and Lisa-Beth Lambert on violin play the last of three concerts held over a period of two years which explore 16 of the piano and violin sonatas by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on Sunday, Nov. 16 at 3 p.m. at the Theatre at Little Washington. Orkis says that “this last concert of our three program series shows Mozart at his most virtuosic. Combined with the wit, charm and beauty of this music, the pyrotechnics of these works brings this cycle to an exhilarating close.” Mozart wrote the sonatas for piano and violin between 1778 and 1788. The sonatas to be performed at this concert are Sonata in C Major, KV 296; Sonata in F Major, KV 377; Sonata in D Major, KV 306; Sonata in E Flat Major, KV 302; Sonata in A Major, KV 526. The keyboard instrument to be used for this recital is a five-octave fortepiano circa 1789 Dulcken, Munich from the Smithsonian Collection built by Thomas and Barbara Wolf in Washington, D.C. The violin which will be played by Lisa-Beth Lambert was made in Paris in 1829. Orkis performs regularly with the Smithsonian Institution’s Castle Trio, with whom he played in a concert held at The Theatre in Little Washington just last month. During his long career he has toured for 10 years with the Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich. With violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter he has appeared annually for over a decade to capacity audiences in the world’s finest performance venues. Their recordings and DVDs for Deutsche Grammophon include the Beethoven Sonatas for piano and violin, winner of a Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance. Violinist Lambert was a member of the National Symphony Orchestra for six seasons before joining the Philadelphia Orchestra in the fall of 2001. An active chamber musician, Lambert has appeared at the Marlboro Music Festival on Marlboro’s 50th anniversary recording at the White House and has toured with the Brandenburg Ensemble. As soloist she has appeared with the National Symphony Orchestra and the New World Chamber Orchestra of Mexico City. Lambert frequently appears in the chamber music series of the Philadelphia Art Museum and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under.

Middle Street Gallery celebration ‘a success’ By Steve Kenny Special to the Rappahannock News A crowd of nearly 100 art lovers gathered to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Middle Street Gallery Artist Co-operative in Little Washington recently. The evening festivities began with refreshments and splendid hors d’oeuvres provided by the Rappahannock High School Culinary Arts class. The revelers mingled outside under a tent and inside the gallery where an exhibition of fine art by present and past gallery artist-members was on view. All the while, harpist Beth Levick provided a beautiful musical atmosphere. Mistress of Ceremonies Phyllis Magrab welcomed everyone and made sure all were happy throughout the event which occurred on Sept. 27. Special guest speakers included current gallery president Chris Stephens, gallery founder Dan Lewis, long-time arts supporter and gallery landlady Sharon Labowitz and Washington Tbwn Council representative Claudia Mitchell. The highlight of the night was a free raffle. Excitement rose as each guest was given a raffle ticket and 11 original works of art by gallery members were raffled off one by one. What better way to say thanks to the community for 20 years of support, patronage, and friendship. The evening concluded with thunder, lightning and a downpour that had politely held off throughout the gathering.

Before spending the last five years managing the retail shop and the food service at Cooter’s Place, she worked for 10 years as a short-order cook at the Frost Diner in Warrenton, a busy roadside eatery that’s been operating for more than 50 years. It’s a place where the pace is fast and the food is hot, quick and good, so Wimer knows how to juggle orders and keep the bacon-and-eggs coming. Then she took on Cooter’s Place, where “it was hectic, because we had enormous crowds” she said, “but it was fun—I really enjoyed it.” In her new Blue Ridge Diner, she’s cooked up a formula of basic diner fare, a down-home country atmosphere and steady, reliable service at predictable hours. “You just have to make sure you’ve got good help, and that you are open during the hours you sd^ you are going to open,” Wimer said. “You can’t decide to close some day just because there’s no business.” The Blue Ridge Diner will be open seven days a week, at least until winter, when Wimer said she may close one day a week. The hours of operation are 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m on Monday through Restaurants have been coming and going in Sperryville so fast lately that you almost need a scorecard to keep „ track. Thursday; 6:30 a m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The plan is to serve breakfast and lunch every day and dinner on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. After enjoying one breakfast and one lunch at the new diner last week, this writer can testify that the food is appetizing, the menu basic American diner fare and the premises are clean—the latter being something of an innovation compared with recent experiences under previous operators at this site. Prices are easy on the pocketbook. For breakfast, two eggs with bacon, sausage or ham, with toast, costs $3.25. Add home fries or hash browns for $1, or corned beef hash for $1.95. Or how about sausage gravy over fresh-baked biscuits for $3.25—now that’s country. Don’t look for menu items in French or some exotic garden creature with a name like an Italian prince at this place; we’re talking flagwaving American favorites here. For lunch, the menu offers a hamburger platter with fries at $4.45, pork barbecue with cole slaw at $3.95, or a hot roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy for $5.50, among many other choices. Dinner, served after 5 p.m. on weekends, will offer a T-bone steak as the priciest item at $12.99, a two-porkchop dinner at $8.95, or liverand-onions (do people still eat that?) at $6.95. The diner is freshly painted, with framed country prints featuring red barns, pickup trucks and small-town scenes, on the tan walls where rusty gas-station signs used to hang. The 60-seat cafe is neat, cozy and unpretentious. Its owner, who grew up in Arlington, has lived the last eight years in Rappahannock County and has no plans to leave. “I’m thinking long-term here,” she said of the new diner. Her staff of eight includes daughter-in-law Lisa, married to one of Wimer’s three sons. Her son Charles did the painting and renovations at the diner. There’s a family flavor about the place, and a feeling that it isn’t really a new place, it’s an old familiar place that’s been looking for a home. RAAC From Page B1 plant production processes, nursery management and marketing. During the years they operated their small business, a number of pivotal events occurred that encouraged them to follow through with their dream. In addition to numerous light-hearted tales, the author shares many deeply personal experiences as the couple faced setbacks and sorrows along the road they hoped would lead them to a more enriching life. Richard describes how the family dealt with a seemingly endless procession of natural and man-made near-disasters. Numerous stories describe the r couple’s struggles to construct the needed buildings, growing areas, over-wintering houses and an elaborate irrigation system, plus maintain an ever-increasing number of plants while Richard continued to work full-time 90 miles from their farm. A series of amusing stories recount how Richard dreamed up, then began constructing a 100-foot long motorized potting line to help plant their annual crop of 15,000 rooted azalea cuttings. Made from mostly cast off items, including parts from discarded bedsprings, washing machines, and clothes dryers, the contraption has amazed and amused Rube Goldberg fans for nearly two decades. When Richard completed his first book, “Principles of Data Fusion Automation” in 1995, he firmly believed that it would be his last one. \ < Taking more than three years of intense writing to complete, he promised Sandra he would never head down that path again. A year later, he began compiling a brief account of how they had come to leave professional careers to start a cottage industry in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Like many of Richard’s projects, he just couldn’t seem to stop once he got started. Seven years later, the 10page short story has grown into a four-book project. The first book was published last March. If all goes well, the second book should be released this coming spring, with the last two volumes following in succeeding years. The first chapter and photos from the book can be seen at: www. longmountainnursery.com. 1 There’s no such thing as bad publicity...
