No. 47 Rappahannock News Photo/Ann Spieker ELATION: It’s all smiles for the Rappahannock County High School varsity cheer team and its coach Bonnie Pullin after the squad captured the runner up trophy in the regional cheerleading competition with what spectators called an "awesome" performance last Saturday. The team is now headed to the state championship this Saturday. See the editorial on page A6, which congratulates the team. RCHS cheerleaders win trophy, move up to state competition By Bonnie Pulun Special to the Rappahannock News What a day Saturday, Nov. 15 was as the Rappahannock County High School Cheerleading Competition Squad competed in the Region B Regional Cheerleading Competition at Strasburg High School and for the first time, came out second place in the region. A total of nine squads competed and four were named to continue to the state competition on Saturday, Nov. 22 at the Virginia Commonwealth University, Siegel Center, in Richmond. Rappahannock was among those named. After the second round ended and scores were tallied, the Panther A Coach’s Diary Competition Squad found themselves in second place in this region. What a feeling. I have a hard time finding the words to describe that feeling. We were honored to have made it through Districts, but our Competition Squad decided that wasn’t enough for them and that same pride and determination that got them through Districts, came out again in Regionals, only this time it came out stronger. We found a quote on a cheerleading web-site a few days before the Regional competition and it kind of became our motto. That quote was, “If you compete with a team that has desire, you better be able to match that desire or you will lose.” Our kids matched that desire and then some. When the squad entered the gym on Saturday, our crowd went wild. Watching them walk to their spot on the mat, you could see in each of their faces, the determination to succeed. I have never seen them perform the way they performed Saturday. They were so in-tune with each other and worked See CHEER, Page A8 Meetings & Notices • On Thursday, Nov. 20, the Board of Zoning Appeals wi meet at 730 p.m. at the Courthouse on Gay Street; • On Monday, Nov. 24 the Town of Washington Planning Commission will meet at 730 p.m. at the Town Haft on Gay Street; • On Wednesday, Nov. 26, the Rappahannock County Courthouse and other county offices wil dose at 12 noon and not reopen until Monday, Dec. 1; . • On Thursday, Nov. 27 the Rappahannock National Bank also wi be dosed and wift reopen with regular hours on Friday, Nov. 28; • On Thursday, Nov. 27 the Rappahannock News wi be dosed and wi reopen with regular hours on Friday, Nov. 28.

Day of Warrenton is representing the town in the lawsuit. When the public was admitted, after standing outside in pouring rain 15 minutes past the scheduled meeting time, the council had no comment or announcement to make concerning the closed session. The most heated discussion of the evening came when resident Bill Tieckelmann asked attorney Bennett about liability and costs if a lawsuit judgment exceeds the amount of the town’s insurance. He was referring to the Worley lawsuit. Tieckelmann has asked that same question at several town meetings but has received no response from Bennett. In October, Bennett assured him that he would give him a response at this November meeting. It would be “an obligation of the town,” said Bennett Tieckelmann responded that this was not an appropriate answer and that Bennett was “stonewalling,” and should consider stepping down as town attorney.

Photo courtesy/Culpeper Farmers' Coop Culpeper Coop giving refund checks to customers This quarter Culpeper Farmers’ Cooperative, Inc. is giving refund checks worth over $900,000 to its customers. Everyone who shops at Coop, not just members and not just farmers, is eligible for a refund if they sign up and if their purchases meet a minimum amount (which varies every year). Since 1932 the organization has refunded over $18.5 million in cash to their members. To earn a refund ask to sign up the next time you shop at any of the Farmers’ Cooperatives in Marshall, Warrenton, Remington, Rappahannock, Culpeper,.or Maurertown (it’s free). Peter Mocarski of Culpeper said, “My wife and I shop coop because of the refund and the customer services.

The modern cooperative originated in the mid-19 century when the Weavers Guild in Rochdale, England, tired of oppressive working conditions, pooled resources to set up a store, sell its own goods and share the profit among members. Modem cooperatives are still guided by these original Rochdale principles which call for voluntary membership, democratic control, honest business practices and return of surplus to users and owners. Gene Cuccherini of Elkwood, a mother of nine who home schools said, “The refund is typical of Coop. They have always supported our 4-H, Ruritan and Ruriteen projects with contributions. I support Coop because they support us.” All of the Coop stores carry horse, cattle and pet supplies including custom feed; home and garden items; appliances; boots and rugged outerwear; tools and building supplies as well as a broad offering of agricultural supplies for the farmer and the weekend gardener.

In this case, it was the relatively new Rappahannock County High School, Cheerleading Competition Squad. These young women faced squads from eight other schools in the Region B Competition last Saturday in Strasburg, and by coming in second, earned a shot at the Virginia High School League state competition in VCU in Richmond next weekend. Like any team effort, the RCHS Panther Competition Squad got to this point through hard work and long hours of practice, matched by the training and encouragement given by their coach. That’s a combination that we think will be hard to beat. Over the next few days, the squad will be workig to smooth out any rough edges that it discov‘red while performing last Saturday. We wish them the best as they travel to Richmond and move on up to the next level — for the first time. Like other sports, cheerleading demands skill, agility and teamwork. But the desire to win — when you aren’t on the mat directly confronting your competitors — must be even stronger. This latest recognition of local excellence has already made us proud. The squad will go to Richmond with the best wishes of its fellow students, teachers, parents and friends. We’re confident that if the young women on the Panther Cheerleading Competition Squad want the top spot bad enough, they’ll get it!

Settle Draw Down Committee Chairman Rappahannock Today Photo courtesy/Kathie Russo Flint Hill resident Doran Matthews, a 10th grader at ‘Wakefield Country Day School, recently presented Dr. Julie Lurie, Wakefield's ninth and tenth grade English teacher, with a beautiful, wood-carved lectern that he created to replace the English Department’s old podium, which was in disrepair.

The word “Raven" is carved down the front, in honor of Edgar Allen Poe’s poem, “The Raven.” Letters Two Flint Hill families among those against paving At the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors meeting the evening of Nov. 3, the supervisors voted 3-2 to include a third of a mile section of Grimsley Road in the Six Year Secondary Road Construction Plan. This will allow this section to be designated a rural rustic road and be tarred and chipped. This issue arose when one Grimsley Road resident recently requested the entire road be hard surfaced. However, the majority of Grimsley Road residents and landowners want the road surface to remain gravel. They have voiced their opposition by signing a petition, writing letters and speaking out at two public meetings. In 2002, approximately a quarter of a mile of Grimsley Road was tarred and chipped to correct a washout problem. The additional third of a mile that was passed at the meeting is a VDOT recommended compromise. It will extend the existing hard surface to the driveway of the resident who originally requested the whole road be hard surfaced. This will cost $30,000. No residents had requested this compromise. We are concerned this compromise is simply a temporary delay which will lead to the eventual hard surfacing of the entire road. As soon as it is possible, the remaining gravel section will again be an issue. We are also the parents of the two children who live on the road. Neither child attends Rappahannock public schools. One reason given for approving the partial hard surfacing was Grimsley may be used as an alternative school bus route some time in the future. Every rural road has unique safety concerns. In our opinion, the Grimsley Road intersection with Route 729 on the west end and the steep, narrow “S” turn on the north end make this a dangerous potential school bus route. The “S” turn and the 729 intersection have already been hard surfaced. Come drive the road and judge for yourself. In addition, we have friends whose children have ridden school buses on gravel roads for years with no mention of hard surfacing them. We feel it is a waste of taxpayers money to hard surface even a portion of the road. The majority of landowners and residents want the road to remain gravel. VDOT has stated this is not a VDOT transportation priority. VDOT literature about the new Rural Rustic Road Program states, “The citizens along the road should support this improvement concept.” The VDOT five-year accident report for Grimsley road lists two minor accidents resulting in vehicular damage only. There are roads in this county with serious safety hazards. Use the $30,000 to fix these first. We would like to thank supervisors Roger Welch and Robert Anderson for their support. Sharon and Richard Payne Flint Hill Ed and Gail Connelly Flint Hill ‘What’s going on here?’ I have followed the reports in the Rappahannock News on the Board of Supervisors meetings and last week’s Letters to the Editor, concerning the question of paving, or not paving, a part of Grimsley Road. As you have reported, one property owner involved wants to have more of the road paved, or perhaps more correctly “tar and chipped,” while 10 or more others do not. Despite this, the Board of Supervisors voted to do what the one wanted, ignoring the 10 or more. Apparently, this person has influence with the Board of Supervisors, which is greatly “out of proportion.” This raises the question: “What is going on here?” This is very troubling. Jim (James L.) Warwick Flint Hill Put the divisive diatribe aside’ As a citizen, I strive to articulate my beliefs, weigh the pros and cons of a situation and define the ‘golden thread’ that leads to reasonable compromise. At this point, those who oppose “The Calendar”’ have stated their reasons, i.e. “pornographic,” “should have asked for permission,” et al. Those who have no difficulty with ‘The Calendar” have also stated their views, i.e., the kids deserve the track, the NYPD and Fire Departments used a similar venue for fund-raising for the children of dead comrades fund, et al. I have heard no dissension about the track itself. The Rappahannock News in last week’s issue gave us a rundown of the costs involved in upgrading the existing facilities to provide the very minimum of what student athletes in other locales take for granted. The “golden thread” is that everyone has concern for the students and the efforts they put out for the school, the county, and their pride of accomplishment. Money (or lack thereof) is also a uniting issue. We have a strong history in this county of helping our neighbors. I, myself, had the loving experience of having the community put together a fund-raiser for my oldest daughter, Jessica, when she was a 7-year-old being treated for acute lymphocytic leukemia. My gratitude extends to my community to this day for its kindness and generosity. Perhaps the answer to the controversy is easier than we think: The kids need a track. One group of citizens, recognizing the budgetary constraints, took the matter into their own hands and created a solution. Now, if the opposing group objects to the solution that the other group created, perhaps they could raise equal amounts of money by some other means that would match funding and build a track contributed by diverse groups within the county. Perhaps the ministers of the churches now actively opposing the calendar would put equal vigor into soliciting contributions from parishioners, i.e., don’t buy the calendar, but do contribute an equal amount to a consortium of congregations throughout the county who are united in donating money to the project. For the sake of our children, put the divisive diatribe aside and invite harmony. Creatively fund the track; we’re only limited by our lack of imagination. Rappahannock County Schools are capable of becoming nationally and internationally recognized. Heaven knows a goodly number of our most prominent citizens are. How about starting a fund for an indoor pool at the high school next? Let’s get started! “Either we all hang together or we all hang separately.” Lanise Waites Coats Boston ‘If the Lord wanted us to wear clothes.. I would like to express my feelings on some of the Letters to the Editor in the Rappahannock News from Oct. 23 to Nov. 13.

These kids have better judgment then you do. Private funds from these men would not have put down the foundation for the track and I don’t think 75 years ago a need like this existed, neither did computers. Please move on. I guess if the school board can accept charities from the lottery, it will teach the kids to gamble? Or charities from the ABC it will teach them to drink? I guess they’re all going to go to school in the nude now? And for the merchants who support the calendar? Don’t worry. Maybe they lost you, but now you have gained two new patrons. I think if the Lord wanted us to wear clothes, He would have given them to Adam and Eve instead of an apple. I thank personally the opposite side for its help in selling the calendar. Great job. Well done. It is going nationwide. Most of these men are my neighbors and at the same time, I thank them for being there for us. Christine Van-Mulders Washington ‘Congregations don’t need to be told to lighten up’ Well, now the clergy of Rappahannock County have weighed in on the prurient calendar that has been in the forefront of the news here in the county for the past four weeks.How odd! Will we be hearing the opinions of the doctors, dentists, lawyers and law enforcement officers? While I found the comments of Rev. Bailey and Rev. Heddleston right on target, I also found some of the other comments a bit patronizing and not particularly relevant as one would be hard pressed to find a set dress-code in the Scriptures. Sermons do not need to be preached nor congregations scolded, advised, admonished, or told to lighten up. The fact is for those of us who are in Christ it comes down to a daily examination of what we say, what we do, how we spend our time and our money. And this examination can be guided by reflecting on the admonition of the Apostle Paul in the fourth chapter of Philippians: “Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” Nothing complicated about those instructions. It appears this sad, pathetic and titillating fund-raising calendar scheme would fail miserably if put to such a test! So let them drag their smutty calendar from county to county and state to state. The good people of Rappahannock County will not be dogged by the few who wish to tarnish our good name and reputation, and the outstanding pastors of this county will continue to “publish glad tidings” and be spared from asking to comment on such drivel. Paul Hagstrom Washington

‘Our community (has been made) a laughingstock of the country’ We’re sure we’ll never see this in print in the Rappahannock News. If you’re reading these comments, no one will be more surprised than the writers. When it seemed as though, there was nothing left to be said, the calendar story reared its ugly head, again, and got uglier and sorrier. We’ve tried to stay out of this debate, however, the articles of Nov. 13 concerning the “Men of Rappahannock” calendar hit an all time new low in reporting the “news” and a different perspective needed to be stated. For some reason, the Rappahannock News continues to beat this dead horse of a “story” and continues to add fuel to the fire. The newspaper’s ever so subtle attempt to divide the religious community is just really pathetic and the suggestion that Baptists are the prudes in the community reminds one of the persecution Christians have endured since the 1st Century, A.D.—the main difference is that we’re not tossed to the lions for sport anymore, however, we’re attacked in every other way you can name. By the way, there was no quote from any of the ministers of the predominantly African American churches or other people of color in the community. Perhaps they’re invisible to the Rappahannock News, or perhaps, the editors don’t really We were born and raised in Rappahannock County. We’ve always been very thankful to be able to say we’re from a small, rural community where everybody knows everybody and everybody knows your daddy and your daddy’s daddy. care what they think. But all of this is topic for another day. The real issue we\ want to address is, the lessons that we teach and what our children, our future generation learns from all of this mess. We were born arid raised in Rappahannock County. We know what it means to have a connection, deep roots, if you will, to a particular locale. We’ve always been very thankful to be able to say we’re from a small, rural community where everybody knows everybody and everybody knows your daddy and your daddy’s daddy. And, as you grew up, you were afraid to mess up too badly, because news travels fast and if you didn’t tell on yourself, your neighbor would let your parents know what you did and there were consequences when you got home. Apparently, those days are gone. Now, it is clear, from the calendar fias co that the parents are the ones that need the lessons. Today, it appears in Rappahannock, there’s a new breed of residents, who are totally clueless about what it means to “be” from the beautiful, foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Rappahannock County, Virginia. Actually, what they’ve done is made our community a laughingstock of the country. When those who think that this calendar is such a cool idea and can stop patting themselves on the back for a moment, take a closer look—all the publicity they’ve been so eagerly eating up, from the news reports we’ve seen, we’re being laughed at. There’s a difference when someone laughs “with you” and when they laugh “at you.” But much, much more importantly, what is the lesson for our children?

Or, what about an all girl student wet tshirt contest? Well, why not? Isn’t it for a “good cause?” We’re making money aren’t we? No! We believe this type of activity, selling a nude calendar to support the school system is ill-conceived and totally asinine! We believe, it sends the wrong message; loud and clear.

We would dare say that two-thirds to three-quarters of the men that disrobed could write a check for $10,000 or more a piece and not even sneeze to do it. We really hope and trust that Mr. Bob Chappell and the remaining responsible School Board members, will stick with their first inclination to do the right thing, and not accept the money.

If this anything goes attitude is what the new breed brings to the table—We don’t need it! What about you? those who support the calendar, will never admit that it was an ill-conceived idea. There’s been too much publicity, too much rationalizing, a second printing, etc., etc., and after all, they’re making money, aren’t they9 However, one mistake doesn’t have to follow another one.

Clifton From Page A1 an hour or so away, it seems closer to home as some of the area bed and breakfasts refer guests to Clifton and Clifton refers its guests to some of the 11 bed and breakfasts in Rappahannock County. Once called the B & B Capital of Virginia," Rappahannock ranks just below Williamsburg in the number of bed and breakfast accommodations and news of the Clifton tragedy was keenly felt by innkeepers here. “How absolutely devastating,” says Cartwright-Brown, who opened her bed and breakfast, Conyers House Inn and Stables, in 1981. It is the oldest in the county. “I've never heard of a tragedy like this.” High winds caused a power outage the night before the fire at Clifton. Guests lit candles and a fireplace in the living room where the fire started, investigators said. They have eliminated the possibility of an electrical problem or anything of a suspicious nature. Unlike most bed and breakfasts where innkeepers live on the premises, no employees spent Thursday night at the inn, investigators said. The fire was discovered by a breakfast chef coming to work at 5:15 a m. The fatal blaze caused an estimated $250,000 in damages, not counting the inn's period antiques. Clifton, a state and national historic landmark built in 1799, is one of the 225 members of the Bed and Breakfast Association of Virginia (BBAV). It is familiar to many local member bed and breakfasts as it is in the same region. It is every innkeeper's nightmare, a fire in a fireplace getting out of hand, a burning candle catching a lamp shade on fire. “It’s a general topic among innkeepers right now,” says Sue Hertzler who is in charge of inspections, including fire safety, of bed and breakfasts for the statewide organization. “It has innkeepers and their guests nervous," says Hertzler, who owns Dragon Run Bed and Breakfast in Church View’, Va., one hour from Richmond. Hertzler said Clifton Inn's inspection was up to date. Members of BBAV are required to follow certain safety procedures including smoke detectors in all bedrooms, hallways and kitchen; an emergency exit diagram posted in each bedroom; 24-hour emergency lighting, exit signs for all exits, fire extinguishers on all the floors. Investigators said it was unclear whether Clifton's smoke alarms were working. Phil Irwin, who owns Caledonia Farm 1812 Bed and Breakfast in Flint Hill and is a co-founder of the BBAV, and acting chair of the Rappahannock Bed and Breakfast Guild, said for safety reasons he, like other area bed and breakfasts, uses firelogs rather than firewood in his five fireplaces because the firelogs don't roll over and don't “spit.” “We don't put candles in the rooms,” he says. When guests bring their own candles, “I check the rooms periodically, and when guests go to dinner, to rr SP^ f* 9<yb Daniel L.

They are kept under the beds. “I don't know anybody else who uses fire ladders but I don't know anyone else who is four stories high either,” she said. In addition to the loss of life, innkeepers and others mourn the loss of Clifton itself, which is closed indefinitely. It was built in 1799 by Thomas Mann Randolph, son-in-law of Thomas Jefferson. Council From Page A1 Bennett replied that any answer was “wild speculation,” that it would be “an obligation of the general fund. There are lots of hypotheticals.” When contacted after the meeting, Tieckelmann said, “(Residents) should know what they are liable for. If the town loses a lawsuit, property owners may be directly assessed the costs, and families can’t afford such an assessment.” He was disappointed that once more Bennett did not give him a valid answer. “I just want to know. And I’m going to be persistent.” Meanwhile, Mayor Gene Leggett reported that construction of the town’s wastewater treatment plant should begin in early 2005 and would take about two years to complete. Soil tests are scheduled to begin soon on two possible sites, the Avon Hall property in town, and another site just outside town on Harris Hollow Road. Council member Rinehardt Lynch said that the Harris Hollow site is preferred because Largest stock of used vehicles due to overwhelming | new car sales - we are bombarded with trade-ins! 2002 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA Auto, Beige, 6 Cyt„ 4x4, Leather.

In other complaints, Charlie Kevis, a member of the town’s Architectural Review Board, said that the Sunnyside Farms’ pavilion does not match the decor of the town. “We were promised a park but instead we got a furniture bazaar and brica-brac bazaar,” he said. “The town can okay an arch but it has no control overall.” Resident Mitzie Young also complained about Sunnyside, telling the council that outdoor sales are not permitted in town, and Sunnyside is in violation of that regulation. Tbwn attorney Bennett said that there was no such regulation or ordinance. Young maintained that that rule was passed several years ago by the council. In other business, the mayor noted that many of the town’s hand-made wooden street name signs are 30 years old and in need of repairs or replacement. Nobody was in favor of replacing them with the standard green VDOT signs. Town resident Gary Schwartz, a sign maker, said that he will volunteer to help design and make wooden signs more in the style of the current ones. Also discussed was the need for street lights on parts of Piedmont Avenue. Cheer From Page A1 I together as a team to reach the goal they had set for j themselves. They have so much to be proud of.

Cooter’s From Page B1 After the Sperryville store is closed, the couple hopes to spend more time in Tennessee where they own another Cooter’s Place. They plan to merge the two stores into one, explained Viator while hurrying Jones outside to have his picture taken with fans in front of the General Lee, the legendary 1969 Dodge Charger parked in front of Cooter’s. “We’ll be going down there some and Ben will continue to perform with the band,” said Viator. Jones, the actor who played Cooter on the show and the former two-term congressman from Georgia, works the sales counter at Cooter’s like a man running for office. Shaking hands and kissing babies, Jones seems right in his element among his and the show’s many adoring fans. On this particularly warm fall day, Cooter’s was packed with fans wanting to see the store and Cooter himself one more time. His wife, Viator, saw the huge crowd as an indication that folks sense the end of something special in the county. “People are coming out one last time to see the place,” she said. “And people who have never been here want to see it for the first time before it closes.” Fans of the show and of the couple themselves agreed. “We had to come up here one more time,” said Chris Routh who drove up to Sperryville from Burlington, N.C. with his family to see the store and meet Jones. “We’ve been here before,” his wife Sue added. “We’re just real big fans.” Viator said she expects a big turn-out for the store’s final weekend at the end of ' * Rappahannock News Photo/Jason Jacks As Jack Leonard of Middleburg would agree, Cooter’s popularity as a Sperryville tourist attraction make it the perfect spot for people watching. this month. “We’re going to have food and a lot of music for people. A lot of local car clubs will be out here also,” she said. Others on this day came out to Cooter’s just for the atmosphere. “I just come here to listen to music and to watch the people go by,” said Jack Leonard of Middleburg, Va., while relaxing in one of the chairs outside the store. “Something to do I guess.” “We had to come out and see the general,” said Jeff Carlson from Woodbridge, Va. With videos of the show continuously running in the background on the store’s television, Jones greets everyone who walks through the double garage doors into the store. Throughout the afternoon, Jones stuck to his post at the counter while Viator worked the cash register. One by one fans plopped down their items for Jones to At a Glance Cooter’s Place in Sperryville is closing but not without a big farewell party. An old time country picnic will be held at Cooter's on the last weekend of November as "a nice way for us to say goodbye. . .or see you later," said Alma Viator, wife of Ben "Cooter" Jones. It will be held the weekend after Thanksgiving, starting Friday, Nov. 28 through Sunday, Nov. 30. There will be music all three days, and "lots of people are bringing covered dishes," said Viator. sign, and with the same genuine ‘awe-shucks’ attitude that helped him maneuver around Capitol Hill, Jones smiled and signed each and every one. “This is much more fun,” said Jones, comparing his work in Congress to meeting his fans at Cooter’s. “Maybe more of our congressmen should be out here talking to these people.” In between handshakes and T-shirt signings, Jones pondered the question who should play Cooter in the Hollywood version of the show currently in the works. “I’ve worked with some great actors and I can’t think of anyone who can play me better than I can,” he said. He then stared back at the crowd waiting in line and seemed to be a little overwhelmed by the reception he was receiving on this day. “You know, this is good,” he said. “This is real good.” Brookside Restaurant & Gift Shop U.S. 211 E.

Automotive By JASON STEIN FOR WHEELBASE COMMUNIC ,t’s a I tough world out there, especially when you re a truck. If the Chevrolet Silverados aren’t taking shots at you, the Dodge Rams and Ford F-150s of the world are lining up to follow suit. How does Toyota answer the challenge? How does it respond to the big boys with the biggest toys? With enough gusto and machismo to be a legitimate thorn in their collective side. Along with the new Nissan Titan, the Toyota Tundra is the only importbranded vehicle beating down the full-size truck door. Listen closely and you can hear it knocking. Soon, you’ll hear it roaring. Toyota is ready to make its first jump into big-time • NASCAR racing: the Craftsman Truck Series (in February of 2004). And just to get everyone ready, the automaker has something big cooking. Really big, actually. New for 2004, Toyota has introduced the much-anticipated four-door Tundra Double Cab to its full-size pickup truck line, the longest, widest, deepest and roomiest hauler the company has ever built. The Double Cab joins the two-door Regular Cab and Access Cab with its shorter bed and two rear-hinged doors for easier back-seat entryT Three trim grades are offered: base; mid-level SR5; and the top-of-the-line Limited. The base trim is available only on two-wheeldrive regular cabs. In any version the Tundra is good looking. All 2004 models arrive with a front fascia that was updated in ’03, standard antilock brakes and a center console that could easily fit in with the full-size Toyota Sequoia sport-utility vehicle. With plenty of box/cab/engine variety, the Tundra can satisfy both the weekend-renovator and the full-time, full-on commercial user. Still, Toyota says the Double Cab is like nothing you’ve ever seen. From every angle, the taller and wider truck plays the part of a brawny big-rig machine. If the four giant doors don’t instantly give it away, revised taillights will help you pick it out of the Toyota crowd. The Double Cab’s real strength is that it does not compromise bed length or. depth to offer greater rearpassenger room than previous models. It's here that Toyota paid special attention. There’s a lot of leg room and a more relaxed seat angle to provide greater comfort, which makes the back of the Tundra more than an occasional space to sit. The split folding seats offer an extra measure of utility for carrying things you don’t want to put in the bed. Rear passengers also get their own heating and airconditioning ducts and there’s even an optional DVD entertainment system. Under the Tundra’s hood for 2004, it’s the same Toyota dependability. Two double-overhead-cam engines are available: a 3.4liter V6 that comes with a five-speed manual transmission or an optional fourspeed automatic; and a 4.7liter V8/automatic combo. Either can be mated to fourwheel drive. With the Tundra appropriately equipped,there s enough grunt to haul up to 7,200 pounds. For buyers looking for everything under one roof, Toyota’s big truck is a pretty complete package; the option list is a short one. But the best news is already here with the Double Cab. With each successive generation of full-size pickup, Toyota finds itself in the hunt for more customers and bigger marketshare. It’s a true contender in a class loaded with heavyweights. Not a Dodge. Not a Ford Not a Chevy. But a hard dose of reality for all of the above. 2004 Toyota undra ★Two- or four-door fuB-size j| pickup 1.... ★3.4-liter DOHC V6 or optional; j* 4.7-liter DOHC V8, producing! 190 horsepower and 245 horsepower, respectively. ★Five-speed manual transmission or four-speed automatic. ★Toyota's Double Cab is is an alternative to traditional fullsize pickups, another largbr option in an ultra-competitive market segment ★In addition to its comfort and roominess, the Tundra Double Cab offers the segment’s first vertical powersliding full rear window. ★Equipped with the V8. the Tundra has enough brawn and a light enough curb weight to make acceleration off the line equal to or better than thp competition. ★Standard safety: Dual airbags: ABS ★ MPG (city/hwy): 16/20 (4x2, MT, V6) ★ Base-prjce: $16,000 (2003).

Auto .ALMANAC Drawing Board Saab 9-3 Sport-Hatch: This General Motors division is determined to add a wagon model to its current 9-3 sedan and convertible lineup. With a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine under the hood, the Sport-Hatch label is no idle boast. A large glass sunroof, a poweroperated liftgate, four bucket seats and 20-inch wheels adorn the concept, features that, we hope, will make it to production when the real thing makes its debut in 2005, It’s History ★ Ian Fleming, the author of numerous James Bond 007 novels, also wrote a children's book called Chitty-ChittyBang-Bang about a real-life 1920 23-liter Mercedes/Maybach racing car. The story was eventually turned into a stage production and movie musical that starred Dick Van Dyke. Who am I? To guess his secret identity, read the following clues! 1) At 70 years of age. he still races cars and runs his museum in Florida. 2) His career began in stock cars, but quickly moved to drag racing. 3) The 34 black race cars he built over the years all have the same name. 4) Not only was he the first drag racer to put the engine behind the driver, he was the first to be a guest at the White House in 1971 5) Opponents called him 'Don Garbage' and Swamp Rat.' His friends just call him Big Daddy.

He could see that he needed to have a plan in place for life after football. “I was in my 13th year in the National Football League, and I could see that I was closer to the end of my career than the beginning,” Jacoby remembered. “I’d been working at Rick Hunt (Ford), and the opportuni ty came, and we ended up getting Chrysler.” Joe Jacoby Chrysler Jeep recently celebrated its 10th anniversary in Warrenton. Business now is better than ever, though there were some difficult days in the beginning. “You’ve got to go through some tough times to get the rewards,” Jacoby said. “We just had a great October. We’ve increased business every month over the same month a year ago, so business really is good. We seem to have missed the recent Times-Democrat Staff photo/Mark F. Sypher CELEBRATE: Joe Jacoby traded the football field for a manager’s deck a decade ago and has seen his business multiply. For sale on his lot today are about 200 cars, more than twice the number he had when he opened. economic downturn.” Jacoby said there was a period of adjustment from one career to the next. “It took me a while to get acclimated to this business after playing for the Redskins,” Jacoby stated. “In football, you practice all week and play on Sunday, and you know how you’re doing. In this business, you work month-to-month, year-to-year, and you plan longer-term.” A few years into his new business, Jacoby felt like he wasn’t meeting the expectations he had set for himself. He asked a friend for his opinion. “My friend said, What did you do every day when you were playing football? You practiced. And this job is the same.’ So I sent all the sales staff away to train. They were all mad at me at the time, but it’s paid off, so that’s what we do. We train off-site every Friday, and we’ve seen the results from that. “We’re relaxed and having fun at what we’re doing, and we try to carry that over to our customers,” Jacoby continued. “It’s a big decision to spend $30,000 for a car, and we try to help our customers find a car that fits their needs.” Jacoby said he isn’t one to micromanage his staff. “I hire people to do their jobs. I don’t interfere. I don’t sell cars. I don’t run the service department. “These people are professionals and I don’t want to get in their way.” New models coming Jacoby’s lot is filled with Chryslers, Jeeps and used cars. “We probably have close to 200 new and used cars,” Jacoby said. “When we started, we had nine truck loads of cars, 70 to 75. Now I carry that many used cars and around 125 new.” Jacoby picks up some of his used cars at auction, an exercise he’s come to enjoy. “I love going to car auctions. It’s competitive, and I enjoy that. The other day I sat back here in my office and bid on cars on the Internet for five hours.” The new models coming out soon should stretch the lots to the limit. “We’ve got 25 new cars coming out in the next three years, including a PT Cruiser convertible,” Jacoby said. One new sports car, the Crossfire, recently reached the showroom. Jacoby likes the two-seater, but it has a drawback. “I can’t fit into it,” he said with a laugh. There always are trends in the car business, and some are based on recent weather events. The impact of the last winter’s snowstorms seems to be showing up now. “We didn’t see a lot of people coming in last year to get four-wheel drive during the snow, but we’re seeing them now,” Jacoby said. “People are coming in and saying, ‘We’re not going to get stuck again.’ They’ve been reading the ‘Farmer’s Almanac’ and looking at the long-term weather forecasts and they don’t want to be stuck like they were last year. It’s amazing.” Looking at Jacoby’s success, it’s clear that there’s life after a sports career, at least for some. “I like what I’m doing,” he said. “It’s always changing in this business, always new.” As far a race drivers go, he just may have been the best there ever was By JASON STEIN FOR WHEELBASE COMMUNICATIONS he doctor wi s serious. TThe child, he said, had a “motor coordination” problem. Ask him to walk a straight line and the boy would turn it into a curve. Ask him to ride a bicycle and PROFILES Automotive legends and heroes he would eventually walk,. Some called him awkward. Others called him different. Milton da Silva called it amazing. How could his second son, the boy who had shown such an aptitude for Brazil's racing scene, the boy who had shared such an affection for his father’s love of engines, wheels and motors, truly have a motor coordination problem? Impossible. No doubt Da Silva saw something different in Ayrton, his young boy with the dark hair and the darting eyes. He saw something so wondrous, so spiritual, it would turn a four year old into a racing phenom, a teenager into a terror and a young man into one of the most revered Formula 1 drivers in the sport’s long, colorful history. Ayrton Senna da Silva's driving skill would make them samba in the streets of his native Sao Paulo, Brazil. His unimaginable death at age 34 in a racing accident would break their hearts forever. “There is no one driver I wanted to be more than Ayrton Senna," Formula One champion Michael Schumacher would say a decade later, after breaking Senna's victory total and then breaking down on the podium at the thought of Senna’s death. “When it comes to racing, he will always be the best.” Funny how it would all look so uncoordinated from the start. Senna was bom in late March of I960 in Santana, Brazil, a well-to-do suburb of Sao Paulo. His father owned an auto-parts company and believed that cars would be the key to his son’s success. Labeled awkward and uncoordinated, Senna was somehow a different boy when he slipped behind the wheel of his tiny one-horsepower kart, a gift from his father at age 4. Suddenly he seemed confident and focused. Each weekend the family would travel to local parks where Ayrton would drive his kart. By age 8 he was driving the family car. By 10, when his father gave him a full-size kart, he was driving like no one else his age. Senna looked to Europe and modeled his focus after such greats as Jim Ayrton fiMftgH TO PMfr: fi«f a# Howards from tne loSowing let N*jen n (fie pjzz Oct* them off ai you find ftr Clark and Jackie Stewart. And, of course, a young Brazilian named Emerson Fittipaldi who became the country's first Formula One World Champion in 1972. At age 12, Ayrton said he would do the same. It would come sooner than anyone could imagine. Senna would win the first kart race he entered at just 13 years of age. Four years later he would take the South American Kart Championship and then win again a year later. Europe, and the World Karting Championship, called. Senna followed. But after a few years in the karting circuit, Senna’s life would reach a crossroad. After moving to England to race Formula Fords, smaller F-l-style cars, he came close to giving it all up. With several other Brazilian drivers ahead of him in higher series, his sponsorship money had dried up. Frustrated, Senna announced his retirement saying that “a bad driver with money could always get the best car, but a good driver without the same was left out” He returned to Brazil and worked at his father’s building-supply company. His father, the man who saw the fire at such an early age, convinced him to go back. With the help of a Brazilian bank and partial sponsorship from his father’s company, Senna returned to racing in 1982 and quickly moved from the Formula Three championship to a Formula One team in 1984. In F-l, determination and attention to detail would be his hallmark. He would turn Toleman, a secondtier F-l team, into a contender and then, after moving to Lotas and then McLaren, he would set the F-l world on fire. Teamed with legendary driver Alain Prost, Senna won eight races and his first World Championship in 1988 — just four years into his F-1 career. Brazil exploded. A son was a star, the star was bom to run and the run wasn’t about to end. A year later. Senna would finish second to Prost in the World Championship despite winning more races. After a bitter feud between the two drivers, Prost left for Ferrari and Senna stayed on with McLaren. Senna would win world titles in 1990 and 1991. Eventually, changing engine suppliers would bring about the decline of McLaren. Only Senna’s brilliance remained. In 1994 that left as well. While driving for the Williams team. Senna crashed into a barrier at Imola, Italy. His limitless talent and indomitable will to win were cut short in midstream. The colorful character would go out on top, remembered as always being that 34-year-old champion who turned the world on its axis. More that one million people attended his funeral. In 162 races entered, he would sit on the podium 80 times. He stood on the top tier 41 of those times-. The man with the undeniable spirit for life — a lover of jet skiing, waterskiing, Brazilian food and fast cars — left with an undeniable spirit. An uncoordinated boy who became a determined man. ■ Jason Stein is a feature writer and the editor of Wheelbase Communications ’ Race WEEK racing page. He can be reached at jstein@wheelbase.ws.

Deed of gift. Free screenings available for infants and toddlers By Barbara Willard Special to the Rappahannock News An estimated 10,000 children under the age of three 'in Virginia have developmental delays that often result in the need for extra help with things like sitting, crawling, walking or talking. While the following signs do not mean that a child has a developmental delay, many children with needing special help may develop more slowly than their peers in being able to roll over, crawl, turn their heads, hold items, walk, talk and hear. A few of the risk factors that may contribute to a child's developmental delay are: complications during pregnancy and birth; family medical history; low birth weight; experiencing seizures while pregnant; and/or severe chronic illness. Families with questions or concerns about their child’s development are encouraged to talk with their doctor or call the Infant and 'inspiring, Ttwiujfitti by Randy Minter FINAL RESTING PLACE The word cemetery derives from the Greek, koimeterion, which means “to lie down and rest.” Perhaps that is why these unique landscapes are not so much morbid and depressing as they are beautiful and peaceful. Often located on high ground or within shady groves, they offer the gift of a spectacular view and a quiet space. Visitors read out a name, pause over marked headstones, conjecture about grassy mounds, and reflect on a reality that remains beyond the full grasp of the imagination. Whether a cross, a tablet, or a block with a carved image or the sepia fading of a photo daguerreotype, the grave site is a place of connection as well as remembrance. Choosing a plot or a resting place in advance can be a real help to one's relatives.

Experts agree that the first three years of a child's life are very important. For those children who need spfcr* cial assistance, the age at which a child receives services has a direct impact on his or her ability to learn and grow. Early intervention services help families learn how to work with the child to learn new skills.
