Jennings Hobson Trinity Episcopal Church By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News Staff Writer If God gave everyone a sense of humor to put things in perspective, as Rev. Jennings W. Hobson III says in a letter to the editor in todays Rappahannock News, it hasn't kicked in for some of Rappahannock's clergy. Far from thinking there is anything humorous about a calendar of naked men as Hobson suggests, some Rappahannock County pastors, mostly Baptist, find it offensive, to put it mildly. In a random survey of the pulse of the pulpit—in a county that has 31 churches, more than half of which are Baptist—some feel the ‘Men of Rappahannock County’ calendar is I downright “pornographic.” “It’s nakedness, isn’t it,” says one Baptist pastor. Another gave a sermon on public nudity” entitled, “Living in a Brave Nude World” one recent Sunday morning. “I think the people who were in those photographs need to be saved. They need to come to the Lord because no Christian would do that,” says Pastor John K. Burke of Gid Brown Bible Baptist Church in Washington who let his congregation know how he felt about the calendar. “I told them I don’t think it’s pleasing to the Lord to buy these calendars. I believe it is pleasing to the Lord to wear clothes,” said Burke. While Burke and some of his brethren don’t see any humor in it, Hobson of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington feels people should lighten up. He said in his letter he was “appalled at the lack of perspective” he has observed over the calendar which is being sold to raise money for a high school track. “With a little help and perspective from the good sense of humor that God gave us, it is hard to see this calendar as a dangerous path to fund-raising,” wrote Hobson in his letter. Regarding nudity and pornography, Hobson wrote: “There was talk of nudity, yet it turns out to be no more than one would find around most any local See CALENDAR, Page A8 'I believe ,it is pleasing to the Lord to.wear clothes.’ Pastor John K.

Rappahannock’s own ‘First Lady* of theatre By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News TYeasures of Rappahannock County come in many guises, not only . in its scenic beauty. One such treasure is Julie Portman, an award-winning actress, playwright and accomplished storyteller who came to make her home in Rappahannock County some 20 years ago. This weekend, Ki Theatre, of which Portman is founder and artistic director, will present a two-day event of theater and workshops devoted to the “The Power of Story in Our Lives and In Our Hands.” “Julie,” as she is known, will kickoff this multiple event on Saturday, Nov. 15, with an 8 p.m. performance of “The Passion, Power and Promise in Your Story.” The workshops follow on Sunday, Nov. 16. Portman sees stories as the fundamental creative language shared by all people, by the arts and in all communities. She is a gifted writer, performer, director and teacher. She teaches “Life Stories Workshops” in the county and across the country, teaching individuals and organizations how to enhance the quality and creativity of their work and lives through story. For her earlier work as an actress, Julie won an Obie award, “Off Broadway’s” equivalent of a Tbny. Photo courtesy/Sunny Reynolds INSPIRATION: Award-winning actress, playwright and storyteller Julie Portman will perform during a two-day event devoted to The Power of Story’ on Nov. 15 and 16 at Ki Theatre, which she founded. The Washington Post in reviewing her most recent play, “Three Roses,” wrote, “Julie Portman is a marvelous actress who stills the audience with her passionate storytelling.” This one-woman play, which premiered at Ki Theatre several years ago, was also broadcast on Public Television, accompanied by the music of her husband Paul Reisler, songwriter and leader of the musical group TVapezoid. The play documents the lives of three women who dare to open the secret box of their lives and dare us to listen to their stories of violence, redemption and healing. For the premiere of this new work at Ki Theatre on Saturday, Portman will weave together stories from the many plays she has written for both stage and television, along with tales from the everyday heroes and heroines she encounters in her travels throughout the country. In previous performances on the stage, Portman told stories. In this singular appearance, she will talk about her love of stories that has impelled her career, but also share her insights into how stories are told. Explaining the power of stories in our lives, Portman said, “Stories are the legacy of our life experiences. They are the way we build bridges across generations and differences that separate us. Stories not only give us that sense of relationship but also of community. As people begin to recognize their own stories in other people’s stories, we learn to understand and overcome those differences.” In a recent interview, Portman gave a fascinating account of her career in See PORTMAN, Page A8 School board on fast track By Anita L. Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer As Paul Bernard gave his presentation on the proposed Rappahannock High School football/soccer field and track athletic facilities to School Board members Tuesday evening, he smiled as he explained there was bad news and good news. “The bad new's is that the price tag is hefty,” said Bernard who is vice-president of Rickmond Engineering, the firm selected to do the preliminary plan. Estimated costs fall just below $800,000. “The good news is that you'll probably be able to get local contractors to help with the project,” continued Bernard who is optimistic that some of the work could possibly be See SCHOOLS, Page A3 Save money, save streams: stop erosion By Beverly Hlnter Special to the Rappahannock News Soil erosion caused by recent heavy rams troubles many Rappahannock County residents.

An artist reception will be held Saturday, Nov. 15 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Dean’s work is fantastic says gallery owner Andrew Haley. “I have known Michael for years but have always seen his work in twos and threes; when he dropped off the 30 odd canvases for the show I was just blown away. There is no hesitation in the work; Michael presents us with a passionate, unreserved view of our world.” Says Dean, “I paint because I love to paint, I love my subjects and I want to capture and render them.” Dean received his MFA from the University of Maryland in 1990. He works primarily in oil, painting almost exclusively with the palette knife. His work canvases old buildings to wine bottles. “Painting is an addiction” says Dean, “I live to paint.” His passion for the work is clearly evident in his paintings.

Global Spotlights lecture features ‘Egypt Today5 EGYPT TODAY: Headwaters will present a lecture on 'Egypt Today: Changing Times in an Ancient Land' on Thursday, Nov. 20 at the Rappahannock County High School. Attendees will have a chance to examine Egyptian art and artifacts on display. Photo courtesy/ Art and History of Egypt By Monira Rifaat Special to the Rappahannock News Egypt has fascinated the world for hundreds of years. The Nile, the lifeline of Egypt over the millennia, has witnessed great civilizations. As Egypt has moved into the twenty-first century, there are many questions that can be asked. For example, has the Nile in Egypt been tamed by the Aswan High Dam? What are the environmental impacts of the Dam? Many years ago, the Nile was connected to the Red Sea, an early attempt at connecting the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. Today, the Suez Canal stretches for 100 miles through the desert. Has it delivered to Egypt all that De Lesseps promised? Across the Suez Canal is the Sinai Peninsula, a beautiful and strategic land. On Thursday, Nov. 20, the Global Spotlights lecture series will present an enlightening program, “Egypt Today: Changing Times in an Ancient Land,” which will answer some of these questions about modem Egypt. The lecture will range from an exploration of Egypt’s two distinct religious cultures, Sunni Moslem and Coptic, to a discussion of the country’s environmental and economic outlook. Plan to arrive at the Rappahannock County High School band room at 7:30 p.m. for a chance to examine Egyptian art and artifacts on display. Refreshments, including Egyptian delicacies, will be served. The lecture will start at 8 p.m. The event is free and SCHQOLS From Page A1 donated through fund-raising efforts. The proposed plan includes a six-lane regulation rubberized track facility around the current field. Drainage improvements for the field by way of grading and support drainage facilities around the perimeter of the field area are also included. Currently, bleachers to accommodate in excess of 500 people have been added. Additional bleachers could be added in the future if the Board wished to incorporate a , visitor section. The plan currently includes four pole mounted lighting fixtures^ one for each comer of the field. “This way they would be able to play at night,” interjected division superintendent, Dr. Bob Chappell. Most Board members agreed that having six pole mounted fixtures would be even better but probably cost prohibitive. The track, which is longer than it is wide, is regulation size but a snug fit. “It's as tight in dimension as we can make it,” added Bernard who said that it is six feet from the Fletcher property line. School Board member Rosa Crocker was concerned that no fencing around the facility was included in the plan. “That is something that could certainly be added later,” said Bernard, “but we didn't put it in now because of the cost factor.” Rappahannock High School principal, Roger Mello, expressed his view. “I'd really like to see the fencing done as well when the fields are put in,” said Mello. “One joy ride and you could be looking at a lot of damage.” Board members didn't disagree. Another item not shown on the plan is a concession stand/announcement box, again, another feature that could be added later. Two parking areas are planned that would accommodate 91 cars with two handicapped spaces. Currently the two parking Coyote Cafe i Dinner Thurs.-Sun. 5 pm-9pm Lunch Sat-Sun. Noon-3 pm liLSat.

While Board member Crocker played devil's advocate and queried about the benefits of a rubberized' track versus asphalt, athletic director Allen Comer was there to offer his advice. “Asphalt gets no kinder with time,” said Comer. “It only hardens with age and will be like that parking lot out front.” “A rubberized track surface is much easier on the runner. They will suffer less from shin splints and other injuries.” Comments from the audience focused on cost and concern that the track wasn't shoe-homed’ into the existing area available. “You are the landlord, which is good,” stressed Bernard. “You don't have land costs added into this.” “Aside from constraints of being close to the property line, the track is regulation.” Costwise, it was clear that while community focus has been on the track portion of the facility that it is useful to see the breakdown of each component. Proposed costs for athletic facilities: • Athletic Equipment (bleachers and convertible goal) - $86,810; • Running Track (asphalt and gravel, urethane rubber system, surface color coating, grading) - $298,800; • Football/Soccer Field (top soils, fill material, seeding and mulching, drainage systems, lighting, electrical work, etc.) - $226,047.50; • Parking Lot/Sidewalks (strip top soil, compaction, travel paving, sidewalks) - 70,950; • Construction Phase Engineering/contingency $180,890.99; Grand Total: $795,237.74. Division superintendent Chappell outlined for Board members what the next course of action should be. “You need to review these plans and be prepared to make some decisions on options for the final plans at our next meeting,” said Chappell. While funding wasn’t discussed, controversy over the RAPPAHANNOCK RAPIDAN COMMUNTTY SERVICES BOARD Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Board is looking for families to provide care and supports in their own homes for adults with disabilities.

Louderback “Men of Rappahannock” calendar and whether proceeds from that fund raiser would be used to help pay for the track, lingered. “We don't have anything in front of us right now to consider,” smiled Crocker in answer to a reporter's question after the meeting “The whole thing is unfortunate,” said chairman of the board, Wes Mills. “It has divided the community when our efforts should be focused on working together for the benefit of the children.” Anita Sherman may be reached at asherman@timespapers.com. pppnf Custom Picture Framing 20 East 8th St. Front Royal, VA 22630 Tuesday-Friday 9:30 - 5:30 & Saturdays 9:30 - 4:00 Framing since 1975 540-636-6511 open to the public. “Egypt Today: Changing Times in an Ancient Land” is part of a series of programs organized by Global Spotlights.

Clarke County was undefeated in the district during the regular season and was only pushed to three games one time. The Panthers scored first and grained a 4-1 lead after one rotation. RCHS maintained a lead throughout most of the match but Clarke tied the score at 1919 and took the lead. The two teams battled back and forth with many long volleys as each team tried to win the first game, with Clarke eventually winning 25-23. In the second game, the Panthers came out even stronger. Rappahannock outscored Clarke 12-3 after just two rotations.

Talk on Mosby^s exploits set for Civil War Round Table By Rob Sherwood Special to the Rappahannock News The exploits of the Confederate guerrilla leader John Singleton Mosby are without parallel in the Civil War. With J. E. B. Stuart's blessing in early 1863, Mosby organized an irregular force of fastmoving and lightning- striking volunteers who charged out of misty treelines pistols blazing and swords flashing to rout, disrupt and harass Union columns and encampments throughout a vast area of Northern Virginia. Drawing on many of the lively anecdotes and excellent photographs in his book. This Forgotten Land: A Tbur of Civil War Sites and Other Historical Landmarks South of Alexandria, Virginia,” Don Hakenson will present a talk about Mosby’s operations outside Alexandria at the next meeting of the Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table. It will be from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 18 at the Rappahannock County Library. It is free and the public is welcome to attend. Perhaps Mosby’s biggest single night’s work came March 8, 1863 when, with about 30 men, he penetrated the federal lines (using the correct password which had been supplied him by a defector) at Fairfax Courthouse (present-day downtown Fairfax) and took 33 prisoners, including a Brigadier General. The area of Mosby’s operations, comprising most of Loudoun, Fauquier and Fairfax counties, has come to be known as Mosby’s Confederacy. Ibday it is easy to notice the many brown highway signs that announce you are in a “Mosby Heritage Area” as you drive through the Piedmont. And of course Mosby conducted side operations in adjacent counties such as Rappahannock where he had a “safe house” headquarters in Woodville. By 1864, however, as many as 10,000 federals were assigned to suppressing Mosby’s activities and the tide of operations began inexorably to shift— with Mosby becoming the hunted as often as the hunter. The communities of Telegraph, Gunston, Colchester, Beulah and Franconia were also sites of engagements and intrigue. Here Mosby raided the Rose Hill House and attempted to capture the northern puppet governor of Virginia, Francis Pierpont. Here chief Mosby scout Frank Stringfellow was in a nearly deadly encounter at Widow Violet’s house in Lorton. Here, too, is the fascinating story of Harrison the Spy who married Laura Broders and then mysteriously disappeared. Hakenson's book won the 2001 Nan Netherton Award from the Fairfax County History Commission. The book is 154 pages long, has 139 illustrations and photographic plates, and tells the lively and colorful story of Civil War events in a region long neglected by historians. Copies of the book will be available for purchase for $37.62, can be autographed by the author, and would make excellent Christmas presents , for Civil War buffs. Hakenson has lived his whole life in Franconia, Va. He has worked for 30 years in the Department of the Army where he currently serves as Director of the U.S. Armed Services Center for Unit Records Research. He has been a Civil War enthusiast since the age of eight when his third grade teacher. Mrs. Swain, shared her admira MOSBY’S MEN: The j, operations of f Confederate leader John S.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.TimeaCommunity.com >6 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2003 Our View Mandate By re-electing all five incumbent supervisors, the people of Rappahannock County have once again affirmed something we already know: that most people who live here believe that what we have is worth saving, and support those running for public office who feel that way, too. Contrast this with what happened election day in Loudoun County, where the issues are admittedly more complicated. But with the election of fi ve prodevelopment supervisors <out of eight), the efforts to promote “Smart Growth” adopted by the previous board are dead. One pro-development supervisor even referred to the builders as his “shadow board.” Loudoun’s election was mostly about power and money. The combination of a low voter turnout there i31.5 percent, compared with Rappahannock’s 54 percent) and the limitless development PAC money has turned the tide. The Smart Growth minority on the Loudoun board now consists of Chairman Scott York; a moderate Democrat; and Independent Jim Burton, who visited the Rappahannock supervisors earlier this year warning them about what was happening to his county. They have a rough road ahead of them. It is said that people get the kind of government they deserve. But when powerful special interest groups get involved, only a grassroots voter turnout like Rappahannock’s can prevent the kind of overt misrepresentation that has overtaken Loudoun, Thanking all those who voted in Jackson District I would iik*- to thank all the vot^rr* of Jackaon Dudrict that were able to make it 'Alt on Nw 4.

Bessie Norman Woodville Grimsley Road: ‘a $30,000 special favor for one citizen’ n Monday evening, Nov. 3, V_y the Board of Superviaorn voted 3-2 to plaa; 3/1 Oth of a mile of Grim* ley Road, Houle 638, in the Rural Rustic Hoad Erogram of the nix-year plan, to e tarred and chipped. The nupervinorn did thin denpite the fact that the overwhelming majority id the renidenta on the road, an well an renidentn on adjacent roadn, opponed it and ntoixl in open nennion and no ntated, and denpite the fact that VIKJT did not recommend including it in the nix-year plan and ntated repeatedly that it had many other project*, much higher pnoritien and had no naifety innuen with the road Only one pernon wanted the road included in thin program After all the public comment wan nhut off, Supervwor Ronald Frazier began a diacuaaion of the road aa an alternate achool bua route; Chairman Charlea K. “Pete” Eatea inquired aa to the number of children on the road—there are only two who live at the north end of the road which ia already tarred and chipped, Superviaor Frazier moved that the road be included in the plan; Chairman Eatea moved for a com promote of tiie .'V 10th mile, which juat happena to end at State Police Officer Marry Newlin'a driveway, the one peraon who wanta the road tarred and chipped, and ultimately that waa the vote. Frazier, Eatea and Bryant I>ee voted yea, and Roger Welch, in whoae diatnct the road moatly liea, and Robert Anderaon voted rut. VIX/T eati mates the cost for this at $30,000. If the entire road were tarred and chipped, as Officer Newlin is pushing the board to do, the cost would be approximately $100,000. It was apparent to all that no matter what anyone said, this was the preplanned outcome, with the use of an alternate school bus route as the justification. Anyone who travels the road and knows the dangerous intersection at route 638 and 729, and the dangerous and steep 8 curve on the north end of the road would not seriously consider it as a school bus route. The county supervisors have a fiduciary responsibility to the citizens of the county to manage scarce county resources for the greatest good of all the citizens What they did on Monday evening amounts to nothing less than a $30,(XX) special favor for one citizen over the objections of the vast majority of the other citizens on that road, and is a gross mismanagement of limited county road funds. It is a breach of the public trust. It is a travesty for not only the citizens of Grimsley Road, but for all the citizens of the county whose projects of greater need will have to be postponed or abandoned in order to take care of the desires, not needs, of one person. We have to ask ourselves what could possibly motivate the supervisors to vote in such a way? John and Susan Hanback Flint Hill ‘Tarring and chipping will lead to more traffic and speed’ We would like to thank our supervisor, K/>ger Welch, and Htonew all-Hawthorne supervisor, Kobert Anderson, for their votes in favor of keeping Gnmsley Hoad a* it is. A* long-term resident# of Grimsley Hoad, with our house right on the road, we have a number of concerns with chan#** to the road. We are afraid that any additional tarring and chipping will Lead to more traffic and increased speed with the road being used as a cuiHhrough. Three tenth’s of a mile may not seem like much but we fear that it is the thin edge of the wedge, with a push to con tinue on to tar and chip the whole road, with no concern for the desire* of the vast majority of Landowner* and resident*. Even with three tenth’* of the road being paved, one family will see about all of their road frontage tarred and chipped despite their opposi tion to thin. At a time when state funding is hard to get even for necessary projects that are desired by all who would be affected by them, we don’t understand why hard-to-get money is being used for this instead.

I offer my sincere apology to the Curfew* for any hurt they might have experienced as a result of the strong feelings expressed in the course of this election. 1 would like to make a final statement regarding the calendar We need to find a way to come together as a community in the aftermath of the election and do what is right for our young people. What I would hope is that the organizers of the calendar jsouid otter an appropriate apology that would soften the blow of an activity that many in our community consider inappropriate. With apAogy in hand, I would encourage the School Board to accept the funds because of the message that such an apology would send to 'Air kids 1 can think of no better lesson for our children than for an apology to be tendered and accepted in the spurt of njconcibation This will tell them that people can settle their differences in a civilized and peaceable way.

Though some may say the calendar is a very tasteful way to raise money lor the Rappahannock County High School track team, 1 would have to disagree I was raised to treat pornographic material as trash. Because what you put in will eventually come out. Do the people of Rappahannock desire their children to go around with applet) marking their “mayor body parts,” or just rwt wearing dothes at all? According to the calendar it seems thus type of behavior is okay. Some say that the “setf-righteous" people of Rappahannock have forgotten how to have a good time and perhaps they need to step back and take a second look at themselves. If the definition </“good time” ha* changed so much that one ha* to be naked, then I will be the find to nay, “Count me out!" Some may think that the opposing aide in only limited to the older generation, but it’a not. A# a 19-year-old college student, I’m proud to voice my opinion that the "Men of Rappahannock County" calendar is one of the most distasteful way# to raise money Cor the RCHS track team. dome E. Hernandez Q AmlaeviUe ‘I’ll stick with puppy and kitten calendars’ For several week*, l have been reading about the nudie calendar of 12 Rappahannoek men. To me the solution seems simple, don’t buy the calendar, if you feel it is inappropriate or silly or just in bad taste. The question 1 have of the person who came up with the idea is, why did you not consult with the School Board about fund-raising ideas before going off on a tangent? There are many fund-raisers that can be successful without creating anger amongst our citizens. Whether or not the high school needs the track seems to have gotten lost in the forest of egos involved with the calendar. I do not have children but would be willing to make a dona* tion toward* funding a trade. I do not plan on buying a calendar. Why? As a registered nurse, I see nude men often, and 1 can assure you that they are all wrinkled in embarrassing areas, no matter what their age. Buying a calendar which forces me to lode at wrinkles is more than I can handle. Ill stick with puppy and kitten calendars.

Artists to hold workshops on art, storytelling on Nov. 16 By Richard Lykf.h and Bkthy Rath Special Ui the Rappahannock Newe Ah part of a two-day Ki Theatre event November 1516 on “The Power of Story in our Liven and Hands," Julie Portman, has invited three of her fellow storytellers and nationally recognized artists to conduct workshops in their homes. The guest artists have each designed three-hour experiential workshops for persons of all ages. Participants will have the opportunity to sculpt, or ere ate collages, or to weave pieces made from natural materials found in the woods and fields. In the process, they can discover stories in what they make with their hands. No experience is necessary. The three workshops feature Margot Neuhaus, Jeanne Drevas, and Kate Long who have each created a distinct and unique workshop experience. Margot Neuhaus will conduct a workshop she calls “Sticks and Stones: Buttons and Bones” with a focus on creating two and threedimensional collages. The morning will be one of play with materials of your choice, with participants being asked to bring with them small things that they have collected. Neuhaus will then show how to make a piece of art with what you have brought and to write the story you see in your work. Neuhaus’ sculpture has been exhibited in Brazil, France and the Washington, D.C. area. Jeanne Drevas, well known on the east coast for Photo courtesy/Margot Neuhaus WORKSHOP LEADER: Margot Neuhaus’ multi-dimensional sculpture and collages, often made out of natural materials easily available to anyone, have been exhibited in Brazil, France, and the United States. This outdoor work of art entitled “Forests” was exhibited by invitation on the lawn of the Organization of American States in Washington, D.C. Volley From Page 4 started pulling away and with the score 22-15 in their favor, the Panthers started a few rallies of their own. RCHS went on a four-point run, closing the gap to three points. Rappahannock only allowed one more point and with the score 23-20 still in Strasburg’s favor, RCHS went on another run, scoring six straight points to win the first game 25-23. The second game started off similar to game one. This time Strasburg scored first with Rappahannock remaining close behind. Rappahannock gained back the serve and was able to earn six points in a row to gain a 15-13 edge. Strasburg never regained a lead and the Panthers won the second game 25-19. In the third game Rappahannock came out strong and?, after six rotations was ahead 18-13; however Strasburg refused to be swept again and slowly chipped away at the Panthers lead. Strasburg Awards From Page A1 receiving grants are: David Naser, upgrading chemistry lab equipment; Lynne Fournier, band room equipment; K.

Calendar From Page A1 pool of a hot summer afternoon. “There was talk of pornography, yet that usually requires some suggestive pose or action, and there is nothing of the kind here.” The Rev. Phil Bailey of the Washington Baptist Church feels differently and gave his personal views on the calendar from the pulpit recently. “Modesty is something that should be held high,” he said in an interview. “That’s just my personal opinion. I was shocked when I first heard about the calendar. “I am dealing with the criticism of being sanctimonious if I don't agree with it," he said. While Bailey feels raising money for a high school track is a good cause and that “it is a shame our county does not have a good track. . .my issue is with modesty. We should keep it as a model for our children.” Jon Heddleston, pastor of Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church in Sperryville gave a sermon of “Living in a Brave Nude World” on Oct. 26. In it, he talked about “the proper Christian response to the issue of public nudity" and looked at it “historically and Biblically.” He told a story about a college student who was caught streaking stark-naked across campus. He was arrested, charged with indecent exposure and convicted of “what some college students call: Just having fun. " Heddleston went on to say that this student, who excelled in sports, will never be able to work with children. “What the court concluded is clear: If you cannot keep your clothes on, then you cannot work with kids. ” “You tell me there is nothing wrong with a little nudity-nothing wrong with taking a walk on the wild side-nothing wrong with posing naked for a worthy non-profit-and I will tell you (this) true story. . • • Heddleston said. A Methodist minister, on the other hand, said he wasn t going to use his pulpit to discuss the calendar. “You got to let a sleeping dog lie," said Merlin Shorb of Flint Hill Father Robert J. DeMartino of St. Peters Catholic Church in Washington, who has been pastor for only five months, said "not a single person” has brought up the calendar to him and he hasn't addressed it from the pulpit. “I haven't heard any rumblings here,” said DeMartino. “I guess we must have our mind on the gospel.” Then he added, “Catholics are prudent but not prudes.” Cathv Kreyling, organizer of the calendar, was asked to comment on what the pastors have been saying. “I’d like people to look at it before they decide," she said. “If after having seen the calendar they find it offensive, don't buy it.” Kreyling said sales of the calendar are brisk and they have made $36,000 so far in the sales of 3,000 calendars. The calendar, which is in its second printing, has been the topic of several television shows)} including CNN and Good Morning America)) as well as the subject of national stories this past week, including one in the New York Daily News. There will be a calendar signing with some of the Men of Rappahannock' at the Tbwn Duck in Warrenton on Thursday, Nov. 20 from 5:30 to 8 p.m., Kreyling said. FREE INSPECTION Protect your home.

Thurs, Fri & Sat 10-7 * Sun 12-6 PORTMAN From Page Al the theatre and the compelling reasons why she took up the art of storytelling as a profession. She credits her growing love for storytelling to several years she spent in Kerala, India as a Fulhright scholar some 30 years ago. She chose this ancient city in southwest India to study because she wanted to learn about “Kathakali” dance and drama theater. Kathakali is considered one of the oldest theatre forms in the world and has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years. Like “Kabuki" theatre in Japan, Kathakali is a classical form of community theatre based on a living tradition of storytelling, dance and drama. What Portman learned in India is an inspiration for everything she does now. “If we talk about storytelling. a talent that everyone has. we realize that its roots are in village life and the tradition of folk or classical culture. These universal themes are all around us in stories we hear and those we tell,” she observed. “Although we in the West no longer have that custom,” she said, “we have a similar tradition of telling life stories and experiences among our friends and family. These individual stories often are reflected in autobiographies and stories adapted to works in the theater and on the screen." Portman has dedicated her life to show how this natural creative talent and spirit can be translated through a tradition of life stories. “Everyone has his or her own individual stories to tell. And the story is not complete until it is told. As people tell their stories, people begin to recognize their own stories in other people’s tales. This is the key to under standing and community,” she said “We all are hungry to laugh, perhaps cry a little, to get infuriated, to enjoy, to share our experiences, and to be listened to, she added. Before rushing off to , prepare for her next appearance, Portman reflected on what she has learned by explaining how the dynamics of storytelling are dependent upon a responsive audience. “Listening is considered a 'high art.' Listeners are as important to the show as are the performers, and a listener needs as much skill as the actor or actress on the stage," she said. “It is essential that the themes of the play or story resonate with good listeners.” ■ Tickets for her performance are $15. The workshops run through the day on Sunday, Nov. 16, from 9 a m. until 4:30 p.m. For more information on either program, or to register and request tickets, please call Ki Theatre, (540)987-3164. out the ditches, and filling the ruts. I’ve been doing this for a lot of years, and it is getting tiresome. Better ideas would be most welcome.” How can citizens protect not only their driveways, backs and pocketbooks, but also the water resources from damaging erosion? How effective are the Soil Disturbance ordinances in preventing erosion? The event will include a featured presentation, panel discussion, exhibits and educational handouts on the topic. In addition, local excavators are invited to come and share their know-how with the community. The featured speaker is Mike Lee, Erosion and Sediment Control Specialist for the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation.

■ • . ■ K • Neighbors/B2 • Classifieds/B4-B9 • Obituaries/BlO November 13, 2003 www.timescommunity.com Like father, like son: new gallery exhibits work of both By Bruce Sloane S(HH.ial to the Rappahannock News High in the hills of the Blue Ridge mountains, the innovative sculptures and drawings of Robert E. Kuhn have been shrouded in obscurity for more than 30 years. Now, through the efforts of his son, Nathan Kuhn, the almost forgotten works of his father are once again available for public viewing at the new Toyy-Kuhn Fine Art Gallery on Gay Street in Little Washington. Robert E. Kuhn was born in 1917 in Grand Rapids, Mich., and trained at the Art Institute of Chicago. After studying for several years in Mexico, he moved to the Washington, D.C., area where he established himself in the late 1940s as one of the few American sculptors who worked in wood and welded steel. During the 1950s and 1960s he gained national acclaim for his lyrical and figurative welded steel sculptures of American life. During his lifetime he had 28 one-man shows and was the recipient of almost 80 awards and prizes. But Kuhn did not measure his worth through established institutions and the accolades of others. In 1967 he removed himself from the art world, where in pursuit of personal freedom he retired to Tanner Ridge in Stanley, Va., to work in seclusion until his death in 2000. Following his father’s death, Nathan Kuhn moved to Tanner Ridge to care for the estate and artworks. Nathan is an artist and musician in his own right, who also goes by the name Denny Toyy. He opened the Toyy-Kuhn Fine Art Gallery a few weeks ago upstairs in the Peter Kramer Building at the corner of Gay and Jett Streets to exhibit the work of both father and son, the latest addition to some two-score artists and galleries in Rappahannock County. Greeting visitors in the downstairs lobby is Toyy’s pop art sculpture, “Ruler Machine/Public Work Series No. IV,” (1985, revised 2003) an imposing seven-and-a-half-foottall whimsical painted wood creation. Be sure to examine the rear See GALLERY, Page B10 ■ Rappahannock News Photos/Bruce Sloane Above, artist Nathan Kuhn, who also goes by Denny Toyy, stands in his new gallery in Little Washington with ‘Ruler Machine,’ his sculpture which has a price tag of $20,000.

RAAC and RLEP to sponsor ‘Winded Migration’ movie By Rosie Mullany Special to the Rappahannock News “Winged Migration” will be shown at The Theatre on Gay Street in Washington on Friday, Nov. 21 at 8 p.m. and again on Saturday, Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. The movie is jointly sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC) and the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP). Both groups believe this film is a “must see” for young people. For this reason, there will be no charge for students and children of all ages. An Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary, “Winged Migration,” took a French team four years to produce. Five crews comprising more than 450 people worked on the film, including 14 cinematographers and 17 pilots flying across 40 countries and all seven continents. From Antarctica to the Artie Circle, “Winged Migration” follows dozens of species of birds as they make their annual trek from warmer climates to cooler ones and back again. The cameras capture nature in all of its grandeur (mighty glaciers collapsing into the seas, avalanches and fierce storms) and the birds in all of their magnificence, whether it is a single crane fishing for food or flocks of thousands rising up from the land and filling the sky. To make the movie, Producer Jacques Perrin (one of the producers of the unforgettable “Microcosmos”) employed every tool at his disposal, sending cameras airborne in balloons and using lightweight, motor less planes so he could get bird’s eye “you are there" shots alongside a flock The movie gets closer to birds in flight than any previous cinematic outing has achieved. At its opening we are informed that no special effects were used in composing this film. It’s good to know that, because some of the visuals are more impressive than the most complex digital shot in “The Matrix Reloaded ” (Rating: G> (Running Time: 98 minutes) Admission is $6 for adults; no charge for students and children ‘Whole lot of shaking going on’ at belly dancing evening event By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News A full house turned out for a unique, fun-filled evening of sensuous but lighthearted belly dancing and Middle Eastern music at Ki Theatre in Little Washington on Saturday evening. Entering into an alluring nomad tentlike atmosphere with rhythmic music, drumming and dancing, the women of the “Mystic Fire” Rappahannock dance group stomped, clapped and undulated their hips with incredible energy and style. The dancing of the women was so full of infectious energy that the audience found themselves coaxed into joining the dancers on stage, and everyone had a frolicking good time. T>ie atmosphere was sheer Middle Eastern with authentic and colorful costumes, evocative Egyptian and gypsy music, and with Turkish tea and Middle Eastern sweets served at intermission. The Mystic Fire dance group draws its inspiration from a mixture of tribal and Egyptian dances and music, with an ancient gypsy flavor.

Chevrolet was the soul. At its peak, Chevy had a larger marketshare than GM as a whole holds today. More cars from , more competitors have slowly chipped away at it over the years. How ambitious, then, is General Motors’ latest strategy to retake what it once nad? Over the next 20 months, the company intends to roll out nine new products — or about one every two months — and introduce two dozen midsize sedans, coupes, crossdver vehicles and convertibles. As the first in a long line of new or revamped entries, the 2004 Malibu will be one of the most important Chevy vehicles in terms of sales volume. For that reason, GM has decided to use the Malibu, and its Malibu I i S iviiiAA wagon siaoie mate, for the North American debut of its new worldwide platform known as Epsilon. The Malibu arrives with an architecture that is already in use on the 2003 Saab 9-3 and the Opel Vectra currently sold, in Europe. Why should you care about the Epsilon? GM says it is a stiffer, firmer and better-handling platform than what previous Malibus were based on. At its core, it is intended to give the Malibu a European-style ride. But the new mid-size four-door sedan is more than the sum of its parts. It's all about different parts that work better for the buyer. General Motors says the Malibu delivers the “comfort and style of tailored-to-fit clothing for an-off-the-rack price.” The only difference? This is a one-size-fits-all approach. Chevy makes it easy. With an overall package that adapts to needs that can change from day to day. the new Malibu has a lot going for it. There's a 1 split-folding rear seat and fold-flat front passenger seat that allow a wide variety of cargo to be transported. Chevy has also used what it terms as a “personalized-fit package.” allowing drivers of all sizes to tailor the position of the seat, steering wheel and pedals to their comfort. Since everyone is built a little differently, it makes sense. The combination of a power driver's seat with a height adjuster, a tilt steering wheel and power adjustable pedals are available on all models — a first for its class. Another first is a remote starter than can fire the engine from 200 feet away. | The new Malibu will be available in three levels ! (standard. LS and LT) with two engine choices. Base models deliver 145 horsepower from a fuel-efficient 2.2-liter, dual-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine (called the Ecotec). while the Malibu LS and LT models get a 2(X)-horsepower. 3.5liter. overhead-valve V6. All Malibus come with a fourspeed automatic transmission. On the outside, it’s also more daring. With updated styling, the Malibu now features a chrome bar across the front grille, tying it together with the Chevy truck/sportutility look. Inside, the Malibu is spacious and quiet with loads of space for passengers and the stuff they haul. With a wider stance than its predecessor, a comfortable interior gets roomier. At its core, the new Malibu is fresh, exciting and invigorating for a brand that is looking for a lift. And more is on the way. Six months after the Malibu goes on sale. GM will come to the market with the Maxx. which will be slightly shorter and wider than the sedan, and have a longer wheelbase. The versatile machine will . arrive with a versatile intenor, including rear , seats that w ill >lide forward, a fixed rear sky- , light and a rear cargo tray that can double as , a picnic table. . Mostly, it will be fresh. . With nine new products to roll out in 20 ( months, Chevy's heartbeat will definitely I have a new rhythm. Which is exactly the ( point. , * Ftom m jpsate rtrar to m edmr tat boastt a Mi drector t* IfaBxi honors Qwrfi heritage Mi tying t» date ts dam tor ta Mur to Mb Jar 4 ocaearB. s&ndM satoy bat pratann brlmr!'»«p:<Mngn. * MPG (e*y Wtf: 2ST3 * Base pricr. $’9000

AUTO ALMANAC Drawing Board Ford Visos: Created by Ford’s European design team, this all-wheeldrive luxury-coupe concept demonstrates the company’s future design direction. With the touch of a button, the interior can be rejigged for ’comfort’ or ‘sport’ use (the seats adjust between hard and soft), the engine can be set for more power and the suspension configured for a firm or cushy ride. A296-horsepower twinturbo six-cylinde\engine brings the Visos to life. It’s \ History * io oe aoie to sen a car called the Rocky, the Japanese Daihatsu company was forced to pay a royalty to the MGM/UA movie studio for use of the name, which of course, was reserved for the string of Sylvester Stallone movies. Who am I?

P H LAUREN By TODD D. BURLAGE FOR WHEELBASE COMMUNICATIONS From the time he was just 12 years old and the only kid on the block wearing one of those sporty blue, college blazers, there was already an indication that there was something special and different about Ralph Lauren. And even as a 23-year-old lie >ait.Miitui 111 City, Lauren already looked the part of a millionaire, although he was a long way from becoming one. Lauren would make his sales rounds wearing a custom-fit suit and driving a rare Morgan sports car, apparently offering a glimpse into a lifestyle that would someday define him. Every penny Lauren made as a struggling salesman went to clothes and cars, the two indulgences he still fancies today. "The world is not ready for Ralph Lauren,” he warned back then. He was probably right. From tie salesman, to fashion mogul, to billionaire, to car junkie, Ralph Lauren has seen and done it all. But his interests always wander back to his clothes and his cars — two of the most uncompromising passions of a man known for never compromising. His legendary car collection, estimated to be worth close to SI00 million, includes everything from a 1929 Bentley and a 1937 Alfa Romeo, to a 1938 Bugatti and a 1962 Farrari. In 1999, one of Lauren’s cars won best of the show at the Louis Vuitton Classic in New York City. And his multi-million dollar fleet of Bugattis was among the favorites in the recent Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance show in California. No car is too extravagant, no price tag too high for the man who built an i empire through a simple tie design, a clear direction and a $50,000 loan. “I am not looking like Armani today and somebody else tomorrow.” Lauren said. “I look like Ralph Lauren. And my goal is to constantly move in fashion and move in style without giving up what 1 am.” Lauren founded Polo Fashions in 1968, choosing the name because of the power and pomp it represented. With his keen eye for fashion trends and a flair for the finer things in life, it seems impossible that Lauren was raised by his mother in a middle-class home while his artist father painted houses for a living. Born Ralph Lifshitz, Lauren has come a long way from sharing a bedroom with his two brothers in their modest home near the Bronx, N.Y. The king of preppy spent his childhood days on the steps in front of his parents’ apartment, dreaming of becoming, somehow, an American millionaire. “It seemed so far out of reach, but I never doubted it could be done. Call me a dreamer,” said Lauren, who now owns a ranch in Colorado, an estate in Bedford, N.Y. and a home in Jamaica, among others. Given his history and ability, it would be logical to think that Lauren attended fashion design classes at some fancy European school. Actually, he studied business and opted out before finishing. ' Despite the success, Lauren, as it turns out, is a regular guy with impeccable taste and foresight. “My clothes are always visions of what I believe in,” Lauren often says. Even before Polo and while working as a glove and tie salesman. Lauren always had his eye on high fashion and vintage cars — though owning an entire fleet never seemed possible for a man making a few hundred bucks a month. It wasn't until his big break in the late 1960s that he would begin earning the money to iuei ms passion lor tancy cars. While trying to develop his own line of wide ties in the 1960s, Bloomingdale's department store insisted Lauren remove his name from the tie labels and make them narrower. Lauren stuck to his guns, didn’t change a thing and eventually the retailer came back. The king of casual had arrived, and eventually so did enough business to make Polo a $900 million company, giving Lauren more than enough money to buy any car, and as many cars, as he desired. Today, Lauren's car collection has grown to the point where at any one time there will be several cars undergoing restoration at once, usually at Paul Russell, one of the top restoration shops in the world. Recently, there were seven cars from Lauren's collection, including a 1937 Mercedes 540K roadster, his famous 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantique and three Ferrarris. Quiet and reclusive, Lauren shares his collection only with close friends, family and those in exclusive car-collecting circles. Perhaps the only things Lauren enjoys more than driving and restoring vintage cars is his family and his privacy. He’s the father of three children and a husband to his wife of more than 35 years. Although he’ll always be known for his trend-setting style, Lauren’s taste in automobiles is less well known, but of no less significance. ■ Todd Burlage is a feature writer and contributor to Wheelbase Communications.

Gallery From Page B1 of the machine to see how it measures up-and down. Sculpture and artwork fill and almost overflow the small gallery upstairs. Many of Robert Kuhn’s welded steel sculptures are, at first glance, simple glimpses of ordinary American life in the mid-1900s. But the intimate look at everyday happenings, captured in unpretentious lines in base metal, memorializes the mundane. A small girl holds a pan to help her mother prepare an omelet—or perhaps a cake—in “The Egg Beater (Mother and Child).” (1964). A woman labors over the ironing board in “Woman with Hot-Iron” (1964). Other works reflect the sculptor’s whimsy and humor. A dozen rowers paddle for freedom in “Mutiny of the Galley Slaves” (1961). Adorning the walls are numerous paintings, many of them created as guides or templates for later sculptures. Toyy’s sculptures are more lighthearted than his father’s. Children of all ages will enjoy “(my) ColoringBox,” a wooden and paper rendition with giant Crayolas and genuine crayon scribbles (some inside the lines, some not.) “(my YellowPencil (thing)” sprawls along much of the gallery floor. And his works can be huge, too big to be exhibited here: the seven-foot-high yellow “Clothespin,” adorns the lawn of the Fine Art and Artists Gallery in Washington, D.C. Nathan Kuhn was born in 1945 in Grand Rapids, Mich. He moved to Stanley, Va., in 2000 from Shelter Island, N.Y. where he still maintains a small gallery. He is also a jazz musician, playing the chromatic harmonica in concert several times a year. He lives full time in Stanley with his wife, Iluminada. The couple has six adult children. Except for some family mementos, most works in the gallery are for sale, including some reproductions. Prices for most pieces range upward from $10,000.' The current exhibit runs through Nov. 15, but Nathan expects few changes immediately. The gallery is open Thursday through Monday. As part of the rediscovery of his father’s life works, the renowned Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Mich., is planning a major exhibit of Robert E. Kuhn’s work. Opening next spring, it will feature some 30 sculptures and artwork of its nati ve son and will be the firsr major exhibit in more tijian 25 years of his work. 1* Obituaries Harrison E.
