Farmers use GPS technology to apply the correct amounts of fertilizer on fields based on soil analysis. The Air Force used the technology for its precision bombing campaign in Iraq. Now Rappahannock County High School students may have an on-campus GPS/GIS program. RCHS is one of four Virginia schools selected to pilot a new course in Geospatial Technology. The pilot project will result in the development of a Geospatial Technology course at RCHS hopefully for the 2004-05 school year that will provide experiences pertaining to the study of geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), remote sensing (RS) and image processing (IP). It is envisioned that students will use GPS/GIS tools, processes and techniques to create, store, access, integrate, and interpret data to solve environmental and other societal problems. George Wilcox, director of technology education at the Virginia Department of Education, said in an announcement to RCHS: 1 am pleased to inform you that your school has been selected to participate in the Virginia Department of Ed’s Geospatial Technology initiative. “This initiative will provide an exciting opportunity to learn about Geospatial Technology and provide students experiences that pertain to geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), remote sensing (RS) and image processing (IP). This will include the development of the instructional framework for a 36week course in Geospatial Technology. . . .” According to the announcement, RCHS will be licensed to install the (GPS-GIS) software on all computers. “ This technology uses state-ofthe-art computer software interaction with satellites for locating people, places, and things anywhere on planet Earth,” Wilcox said.

Gall The Rappahannock County High School's track, bottom, compared to its neighbors' six-lane tracks, Madison County, middle, and Page County, top. What other schools offer students By Paul Gall Special to the Rappahannock News Detective Joe Friday put it best: “Just the facts ma’m.” Given all the attention surrounding the prospect of improving our scnool track and field resources, I decided to do a little fact-finding of my own. News analysis So I took the day off, saddled up on the old Harley-Davidson, and headed out to look at neighboring school tracks and see how Rappahannock County High School’s track stacks up. I wanted to see what other schools offer their students. My first stop was Clarke County. Then I went to Strasburg, Luray, Page and finally our closest See TRACK, Page A10 Stricter parking laws? By Bruce Sloane Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors had its first look at the proposed parking and traffic ordinance at Monday’s meeting. The ordinance enables the Sheriff’s Office to ticket vehicles for parking violations. A public hearing on the ordinance will be held at next month’s board meeting. The proposed parking ordinance allows the sheriff to ticket illegally parked vehicles whether or not the driver of the vehicle is there. Currently officers can issue a ticket only if the driver is present, even if the car is illegally parked in a handicapped zone, or completely blocks the road as sometimes happens to county residents who live near trailheads. The ordinance provides fines ranging from $10 for overtime parking to $100 for a handicapped parking violation. Fines are doubled if not paid within 15 days. Recipients of a violation can request a court hearing The ordinance does not apply to the Town of Washington which is considering one of its own. It does apply to private roads in the Blue Ridge Mountain Estates section of Chester Gap. In other action, the board heard a report from Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Chappell that Rappahannock County High School has been provisionally accredited by the state, but that information and figures calculated by the school district indicate that the school should be fully accredited. In his report on accreditation Dr. Chappell noted that the high school has been "provisionally accredited " He said that the state uses information provided by the testing organization and that there were differences in their figures from the school’s information. "We feel the school is fully accredited. Once the numbers are done, Rappahannock County High School will be well above 70 percent," he said, referring to the requirement that 70 percent of the students must See SUPERVISORS, Page A8 Flint Hill columnist wrote and wrote... for 50 years By Bruce Sloane Special to the Rappahannock Newt In 1952 Polly Aylor, then a young high school student, wrote her first Flint Hill social column for the Rappahannock News. She enjoyed writing it so much that she kept on doing it, and doing it and doing it, for more than 50 years. Finally last month she decided that she had been writing the column long enough. It was time to move on, retire and let someone else have a hand. And so, without fanfare, the baton was passed to her successor, Joanne Welch. Aylor liked talking with her neighbors and keeping up with their lives. Each week she would call friends and neighbors and ask them what they had been doing of note. With this information, she would then write about their achievements, graduations, marriages, births, visits, and other happenings that she thought would interest others. She took her handwritten notes to the newspaper office where they would appear in the paper the next week as the Flint Hill social column, one of several columns about local happenings. Over the years her columns recorded the changes in the lives of Flint Hill residents and Rappahannock County. It was not unusual for Aylor to write about the arrival of a newborn, and then, decades later, to record this person’s graduation, marriage and the birth of another generation. “The hardest part of the job for me,” she reminisced, “was that people move or pass on. So many young people leave the county.” When Aylor started the column, she wrote her notes in longhand and carried them to the newspaper office. She particularly enjoyed working with the late Barbara Wayland, who was first a receptionist and then general manager and editor erf the paper for many years. See AYLOR, Page A10 Rappahannock New* Photo/Bruce SJoane PASSING THE BATON: Polly Aylor, left, has retired and turned over her Flint Hill column to Joanne Welch and Welch’s daughter, Elizabeth, 12, who is in training to one day write it herself. Aylor started writing the column more than 50 years ago, when she was in high school. ‘Bruce Almighty’ Starring Jim Carrey, this movie will make you laugh.

RAAC seeking donations for state-of-the-art projector RAAC, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, has made a giant leap into the 21st century. For 20 years RAAC has been showing outstanding films at The Theatre in Little Washington using a 16 mm projector. The projector has served them well, but in today s digital age very few top notch movies are released using bulky celluloid reel film. Almost all movies are now produced on CDs, compact disks, using the latest VHS and DVD technology. Besides being much easier to ship and transport, these media provide uniform high quality delivery that can’t be matched by reel film. To continue to serve the community and its cultural life, RAAC recently purchased a state-of-the-art projector and lens that enables it to utilize this technology. Two weekends ago, Rappahannock’s movie-going public was treated to its first DVD, the award winning doc umentary, “Winged Migration.” Co-sponsored by RLEP, the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, “Winged Migration” follows migrating birds around the world, from pole to pole, over deserts, oceans, mountains, and cities. Using gliders, ultra light planes, balloons, and other equipment, its magnificent aerial shots are eyeball-to-eyeball with the Wrds on their annual thousand-mile flights. The film played to a sold out packed house of 137 adults and 32 children: A Saturday matinee, the first in RAAC’s history, was shown to 34 adults and 13 children. Thanks in part to RLE P’s generous sponsorship, children were admitted free at both performances. The DVD equipment cost RAAC about $9,000, financed with a loan from the Rappahannock National Bank. The movie-going public has been generous with its support and has currently donated almost $3,000, leav ing about $6,000 owed on the loan. Movies are expensive, too: most rent for $450 to $500. “Your donations can help pay for this quality entertainment,” said RAAC president Amy Sloane Timbers. “In fact, every dollar you donate to RAAC will do double duty thanks to an anonymous donor who has pledged to match your gifts dollar-to-dollar up to half the cost of the DVD player and lens.” Timbers added, “We have some great films on tap for the coming year. Some titles under consideration include ‘Bend it Like Beckham,’ ‘Intolerable Cruelty,’ ‘Mystic River,’ and ‘Whale Rider.’ “ Donations can be sent to RAAC, P.O. Box 24, Washington, Va. 22747. For more information, visit the website www.raac.org, call (540) 675-3193 or send e-mail to info@raac.org. “We can always use a few more hands at our movies and Friday nights at the library,” Timbers said. “Let us know if you want to help.” Photo oourtwy/Ror.

Civil War author to speak on the battle of Ball’s Bluff By Rob Sherwood Special to the Rappahannock News Kim Holien, a U.S. Army military historian and Civil War author, will speak about the fateful battle of Ball’s Bluff on October 21, 1861 at the annual dinner of the Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table on Tuesday, Dec. 9 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Fretwells Restaurant in Front Royal. The dinner is open to the public. Holien is currently the first ever historian for Fort Myer, Va., (founded in 1863 as part of the Defenses of Washington) and of Fort McNair in the District of Columbia (founded in 1791 and home to the trial and execution of the Lincoln conspirators). From 1986 to 1989 Holien was a civilian historian for Staff Rides to Civil War battlefields for the Secretary of the Army, the Chief of Staff of the Army and the Army General Staff in the Pentagon. For this and many other successful history projects, Holien has received recognition from President Ronald Reagan, Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger, Secretary of the Army John Marsh, three Chiefs of Staff of the Army, Mrs. Douglas MacArthur, the Ambassador of Australia and the Royal Norwegian Embassy. Holien has participated in the Civil War Centennial and has narrated by radio the 125th Anniversary reenactments of Manassas, balls - Bluff, Gettysburg, New Market and The Monocacy. Currently he is the historian for the preservation of Cross Keys and Port Republic in Stonewall Jackson’s immortal Valley Campaign. He is also past president of the Alexandria and District of Columbia Civil War Round Tables. He is a descendant of both Union and Confederate soldiers. His Union ancestor served as an artillery officer in the Defenses of Washington and then proceeded south with General Grant from the Wilderness to Appomattox. His Confederate ancestor was one of the original 15 members of Mosby’s Rangers. Holien’s presentation will include a slide show. He will have his book, “Battle at Balls Bluff,” for sale for $20. The dinner will also feature the presentation of cash awards to Hie first and second place winners of the Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table High School Essay Contest. These winners will read their essays and be honored guests for the evening. For more information about this event and about the Round Table, call Rob Sherwood, Program Director, at (540) 9878596, or Mary Hoffherr at (540) 937-3859. There is a fee of $25 for the full-course dinner. Battle blunders at Ball's Bluff It is the first autumn of the War Between the States, 1861. The soldiers and their commanders are, for the most part, as green as the summer grass they have just seen disappear into the frost of autumn. Just 35 miles upriver from Washington, DC., between Poolesville, Maryland, and Leesburg, Va., there are a number of important Potomac River crossings. Both sides mass their forces to guard these crossings in the thrust and counterthrust of war. In Washington, Major General George McClellan is under intense pressure from the Radical Republicans in Congress for an advance against the main Confederate forces at Manassas Junction. McClellan is a defensive-minded commander-in-chief who, it turns out, will never develop a successful offensive against the enemy over the next 18 months of his command, despite the adulation of his men. McClellan surveys his meticulous maps of enemy positions along a 35-mile defensive line from Northern Virginia to Winchester. He does not want his beloved and mostly inexperienced troops to attack into the enemy’s main strongholds, so he decides on a reconnaissance in force across the Potomac at Leesburg—hoping this might cause the Confederates to shift troops away from their strong points. Opposite Leesburg, at Poolesville, Maryland, Union Brigadier General Charles P. Stone is given instructions that “perhaps a small demonstration on your part would move them from Leesburg” thus precipitating the Battle of Ball’s Bluff. The day Stone crosses the Potomac is exactly three months to the day after the opening land battle of the Civil War, the Union debacle at Bull Run. What follows on October 21, 1861, are a series of blunders at the bluffs of Ball’s Island by a poorly led Union force of 1720 men who are outfought by better entrenched and more seasoned Confederate soldiers. By the end of the battle 921 Union soldiers are casualties, including Sen. (Col.) Edward D. Baker, Abraham Lincoln’s best boyhood friend. This death, combined with the defeat at Balls Bluff, and the earlier rout at Bull Run, leads to a serious political backlash on Capitol Hill against Lincoln’s conduct of the war: the formation of the Joint Committee of the Conduct of the War.

Paul Gall's photographs tell the story. The story is we are way behind the pack and need to take the lead to offer our students the same opportunity as those against whom they compete. The Rappahannock County High School track is awaiting a rebirth. The School Board is considering a proposed plan for upgrading athletic facilities which includes a $298,800 six-lane regulation rubberized running track. Where the money is going to come from to do this is the question. It doesn't make sense to refuse any money that is a good faith contribution. Real reform Most of our elected officials agree that Virginia’s tax code should be changed. The old, agrarian model — which was based on the value of farmland for real estate, and farm equipment for personal property — has not translated very well into the economy of the 21st century. Gov. Mark Warner recently announced a plan that increases the state sales tax and higher “sin” taxes; closes corporate tax loopholes; and increases the tax bite on the wealthiest Virginians. Warner estimates that revenues could increase by $1 billion the first two years. Some Republicans claimed that Warner’s plan simply increases revenue, but does not reform a faulty system. They may be right. The 10-member, bi-partisan legislative committee that has been studying tax reform for the past several months has not agreed on any plan. Committee co-chairman Delegate Harry Parrish (R-Manassas) closed the meeting last week without any consensus. Several members — including Sen. John Chichester (R-Stafford), and Delegate Allen Louderback (R-Page), who represents Rappahannock — have come up with their own plans, but have not been able to interest any of the rest of the committee. Given the great changes in Virginia since the last time the tax code was revised, it’s time to consider other options, including: • Virginia’s tax on cigarettes is absurdly low. Given the amount of other taxes — and passedalong legal settlement costs on a pack of cigarettes — this would hardly be noticed. • Increase the state sales tax and eliminate the state income tax. Other states have done this successfully. Added benefits include having a bottom line below which consumer spending doesn’t go, and the advantage of travelers passing through the state contributing more. • Allow some services to be taxed. Make no mistake: Tax reform will be one of the toughest and most critical issues faced in the 2004 General Assembly. If you have any ideas, share them with our representatives.

Letters A word of thanks for ‘magnificent’ rescue services On Thursday, Nov. 20 at 3:40 p.m. while my wife was taking an afternoon walk she deviated from her usual route, fell, injured her ribcage and was unable to regain her stance. My very good friend and neighbor, Dr. Luke DeMaitre accompanied me on foot and combed her usual route, but without results. I informed the Sheriff’s Office, thinking it was now too dark, (7 p.m.) and nothing could be done till daylight. But an immediate alert went out and Sheriff Sherertz organized police, rescue squad, canine divi sion and a helicopter on stand-by alert with heatseeking equipment. Within 15 minutes my wife was located and returned safely to our home by ambulance. Hypothermia seemed to have begun and it’s doubtful she would have survived overnight but for the dedicated, unselfish, caring of all units involved. We are blessed indeed with the magnificent services at our disposal. With eternal thanks to all. Edmund Kavanagh Washington ‘It takes the whole community to protect our county’ I read with interest, as always, the “Letters to the Editor” and “Our View” in last week’s Rappahannock News, and a lot of what is written is about an individual’s love of our county and this is good, whether you or I agree with it or not, but nonetheless it is a passion for some to express it in writing. Kiser’s commentary I want to applaud your inclusion of John Kiser’s commentary in your Nov. 27 edition. His moving description of the way the U. S. is disastrously configuring the future should be broadcast throughout the land. Clay Fulghum Washington The signing of their names furthermore states that with the facts they have, their individual interpretation is what they feel about an issue. Thanks should go to those individuals who write “Letters to the Editor” for bringing an issue they are concerned about to our attention that maybe we would not have known about otherwise. We all have the right to do the same thing if we are inclined to do so. I wish there were more people that would actually get involved in the decisions made in this county protecting and deciding what is right for the people and the community we live in. Don’t just talk about it. Get out and see what can be done and never give up even if decisions that are made do not change to your way of thinking. It takes the whole community of people that live in Rappahannock County to protect and preserve it. Joanne Welch Flint Hill A reader’s take on belly dancing story I am writing to protest the belly dancing evening described in the Nov. 13 issue of the Rappahannock News. Of course, I wasn’t there and didn’t see the belly dancing. Obviously that doesn’t matter. The article describes the belly dancing as “sensuous” which is about the same thing as “sensual,” which, as we all know, means “sexual.” Worse, the audience was actually “coaxed” by the dancers into participating! The article goes so far as to mention that the dancers (and presumably the audience) “undulated their hips,” and states, with evident approval and complete lack of shame, that “everyone had a frolicking good time.” It even refers to the “evocative” Egyptian and gypsy music which seems to lead otherwise decent citizens into this obscene behavior. But worst of all, these dancers seem to be nude (!) around their bellies and presumably “undulate” them above their “undu lating” hips. The article does recognize that the dancing is “infectious.” No doubt this infection spread from the recent Men of Rappahannock County calendar. Both are manifestly indecent. It is important we keep our children away from these evils, before they begin to laugh at us adults. Peter A. Hombostel Sperryville P.S. Does anyone know how to get a stuck tongue out of my cheek? Calendar women ‘were applauded, not ridiculed’ Some readers of the Rappahannock News may be aware of a recent British movie “Calendar Girls,” released this year to generally good reviews, which features among others, Helen Mirren, Julie Walters and Annette Crosbie, in a faithful depiction of the true story of a group of mature Yorkshire women who posed discreetly nude in 1999 for a calendar to raise funds for an area hospital. At the risk of inflaming passions, I will include the movie promo: “They dropped everything for a good cause.” Their efforts were applauded not derided or ridiculed. In the Nov. 20 edition of this paper, Paul Hagstrom quotes the Apostle Paul at length on appropriate Christian behavior. That’s good to keep in mind but St. Paul also preached liberality (Corinthians II, Chapter 9, Verse 7): “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; God loveth a cheerful giver." Isn’t this the bottom line here? The men of Rappahannock have gone out on a limb, risking embarrassment, to try and raise money for what all agree is a worth while project. They have already done the heavy lifting. Rev. Hobson’s “choice” (this is really a classic alright, bound not to please a good many whatever side he came down on) was right on in my opinion. Lighten up and support the “Calendar Men.” Buy the calendar. Thomas Spande 8perryville Calendar is small example of bigger problem Imagine ourselves as small children or vulnerable young adults, living in a small community where adults made the decision to pose without clothes and said they were doing this for a “child’s cause.” What if we saw them in public photographed without clothes? Would we feel uncomfortable and confused and maybe even intimidated? What if they were the parents or even grandparents of our friends? Would we feel uncpmfortable seeing them at other times, or maybe even intimidated about going into their houses or even generally being around them? When we connect a nude calendar with a child’s issue or cause, there is one name for this. It is called exploitation. It doesn’t matter how you “couch” it as okay, or natural or progressive. Unfortunately there are people who “walk the line’ when it comes to exploitation. They may do or say things that are inappropriate, cause embarrassment or even shame, but they are not against the law. Sexual exploitation causes severe damage in our society and it goes on everywhere. This is not about beauty or natural and healthy sexuality. It has caused a lot of unnecessary distress within the community* The last time I heard, it was against the law to be nude in public. Since the decision was not to prosecute per this paper, then I would advise parents and all concerned with child safety health to look into civil action in this matter. Nude calendars do not belong associated with a school system as a part of making money or for any other reason. If people have issues with the community, address it directly and not at the expense of children. Teddie Frock, LN.

'>*c4w "tain " v**» Two Republican legislators who live just a few miles apart in Stafford County will have much to say about whether Gov. Mark Warner’s proposed tax reform package will be approved during the 2004 legislative session starting in January. The Warner plan to raise the sales tax a penny, impose new taxes on cigarettes and make higher income earners pay more state taxes is currently the only one on the table. The legislative commission that had been studying tax reform came up with no recommendations before it folded its tent and walked away last week. Speaker of the House Bill Howell of Stafford told me that he wanted more time to look over the Warner proposals before deciding exactly how to address them. But he also said at first glance, they look much more like tax increases than tax reform. Noting that Warner had campaigned on a promise not to increase taxes, Howell predicted that the Governor’s proposals will face rough sledding in the House of Delegates, where there is a significant conservative majority. In the State Senate, something resembling the Warner package may have a better shot at passage, particularly if Senate Finance Committee chairman John Chichester, also of Stafford, favors it. Chichester was quoted as saying he felt the Governor “has recognized as well as many of us that the financial structure of Virginia’s government is in jeopardy, vis-a-vis our financial stability and our credit ratings.” All 36 House Democrats will likely support Warner, Howell predicted, but he would have to find 15 votes among House Republicans and independents to get the 51 votes necessary for its passage. Old Dominion Politics John Goolrick Howell is certain legislators in both chambers will have their own tax proposals to offer, including some that would raise gasoline taxes to pay for transportation improvements. Chichester said the study group had talked about many aspects of tax reform, and felt there would be no need for a report. Presumably, the Warner plan will be the starting point for legislative discussion. Warner, while raising the sales tax and other taxes to generate an additional $500 million a year, would at the same time reduce the sales tax on food, lower the income tax for low-wage earners, and eliminate the estate tax on many farms and small businesses. The Governor called his plan “fiscally conservative,” and one that would meet state core obligations. He said that under his plan, 65 percent of Virginia taxpayers will pay less than they do now. But Howell said that while he would follow the Governor’s call for legislators not to rush to quick judgments, he also said he felt that raising the state sales tax from 4.5 to 5.5 cents is not tax reform, but a tax increase. State Republican party director Kate Obenshain Griffin was much more pointed in her remarks. She charged that the Governor “has engaged in potentially devastating tradeoff of Virginia jobs for short term revenue growth.” And State Sen. Bill Bolling (R-Hanover), a potential candidate for lieutenant governor in 2005, said the Warner package would be “the largest tax increase in the history of Virginia.” Bolling continued, “It’s a tax increase of a billion dollars over the course of the next biennium. That’s not tax reform, it’s a tax increase under the guise of tax reform and I think most people will be very skeptical of that.” The tax issue is certain to be the overriding one of the coming legislative session and will probably go through many phases over the 60 day legislative period. It will be interesting to see how Warner addresses the issue in his State of the State message to a joint session of the Assembly. It is almost certain that a majority of the House members will not applaud any mention of what they regard as tax increases, and not tax reform. It might be possible for Warner to persuade enough House members to increase the cigarette tax — or conceivably the gasoline tax, if used exclusively for transportation — but that getting any increase in the sales tax or income taxes through that chamber appears an unlikely prospect at the moment. Sixty two of the 100 members of the House are Republicans, and there are two independents who nearly always vote with the GOP majority. And while Chichester and Howell are old friends, the tax reform issue may pose a political divide between the two during the session. “John and I may well be on opposite sides of the tax issue, but I have the highest regard for him,” said Howell. “It’s simply a difference in philosophy about what constitutes tax reform.” John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Jo Ann Davis. Opinions expressed are his own. Extra! Extra! Extra! New Automotive section in classifieds!

Friday afternoon visitors r Inspiring, TfUwgfits by Randy Minter PRIOR TO NEED By choosing funeral preairangement, you have the opportunity to make decisions about what type of funeral service, casket, and burial vault you want. You can decide about such aspects of your funeral such as clergy, place of burial or other method of disposition, flowers, information for an obituary notice, and other details that you may wish to include. In short, funeral prearrangement allows one to exert control over the last important event of his or her life. Just as importantly, it eases the burden for those who would otherwise have to make the tough decisions about a loved ones funeral that are often clouded by grief and stress. It is far better to plan a funeral before the need arises. For some, the idea of planning one’s funeral can seem a gloomy event, but that’s actually not the case for most people. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Wanenton, we know that preplanning can offer your loved ones and peace of mind. Everyone knows what your wishes are, and you can be assured that your family is spared concern and financial worry. For a tour, call 347-3431.

Rappahannock News Photo Bruce Sloane AUTO SALES: C. B. Johnson, left and Ken Carter stand in front of their Riverside Auto Sales business in Sperryville. Riverside Auto Sales opens on Water Street in Sperryville By Bruce Sloane Special to the Rappahannock News Since 1982, as the owner-mechanic of Riverside Auto Service at 20 Water Street, Sperryville, C. B. Johnson has been keeping his customers’ cars and pickups in tip-top shape. With the recent opening of Riverside Auto Sales LLC at the same location, Johnson can now sell them a late model used vehicle. Johnson’s auto service work provides oil changes and warranty work, state inspections, and mechanical repairs. As an I-CAR Gold Class certified mechanic, the highest certification available, Johnson is highly qualified for all types of auto body and paint work. The shop also offers wrecker ser vice. Ken Carter, Johnson’s partner in the auto sales business, has been associated with the automobile industry since 1968. He is also the owner of Trading Post Guns on Route 211 between Sperryville and Washington. Most of the used cars are former leased vehicles. “These cars must be kept in excellent condition by the leaser,” said Johnson, “so we know we are offering our customers well-cared for vehicles.” He maintains an inventory of about 15 to 20 cars and trucks. “If we don’t see the vehicle you want,” he added, “tell me what you you’re looking for. If we don’t have it, we will get it for you.” Paul Gall Track From Page A1 archrival, Madison County. These are the five schools our team faces in track competition. I must admit I was very impressed with each of the schools I visited. All of them boasted well-maintained six lane tracks, expansive seating, chain link fencing, concession stands, restrooms, and press boxes. Not surprisingly the “cat’s meow" was Madison County. They recently replaced their old track with a brand new rubber surface track that looked so good I was afraid to walk on it. The good news about visiting Madison County was that my visit ultimately led to a discussion with its Athletic Director and I learned that Madison’s track project cost less than half of our initial presentation. Returning to Rappahannock County and taking a walk around our “track” was to say the least, disheartening if not LURAY: Businesses and corporate sponsors that support Luray's athletic program are recognized by signs that parallel the track. STRASBURG: The Ram stadium at Strasburg boasts the largest seating capacity which includes purple VIP seating on the 50 yard line to accommodate generous boosters. Rappahannock News Photos/Paul Gall CLARKE: Clarke County is likely the most impressive Bull Run District school in terms of the efficient design, layout and security of its track and football field. downright depressing. Whatever happened over all the years past, it just doesn’t make sense that were not able to offer our kids the opportunity to be competitive. At the very least we should be able to keep in step with our neighbors. After all, according to the Virginia Department of Education’s 2002-2004 Composite Index of Local Ability-Tb-Pay, Rappahannock County (CI=.7170) is the 10th wealthiest school division out of 136 such divisions in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In comparison, Clarke County has a Composite Index (Cl) of .5297, Strasburg (CI=.3825), Luray (CI=.2959), Page (CI=.2959) and Madison County (CI=.4150). For years there have been attempts to initiate interest in organizing efforts to raise money for the track. I even heard there was a specific fund called the “Friends of the Track” that was available for whomever wanted to make donations but apparently the “big one” ! 1 ' • -i Ik. ^1 I 2003 Oid«mobile Bravada Leather, loaded, 7k miles 2002 Chevrolet 2500 V8,4x4, loaded.

Although a rubber surface track itself as a line item is projected to be $299,000 out of a total project figure of $795,000, it’s not feasible to assume we would do nothing else. Incidentally, the $795,000 figure did not include fencing to protect the assets nor a concession/restrooms/press-box structure. But no cause for alarm as it must be emphasized that this was the very first presentation and the School Board has had no opportunity to even discuss the matter yet. How would we pay for a track? Well, I hate to be a big disappointment but I don’t have the answer to this one. But I do know how we won’t pay for it. Bake sales and selling pizzas aren’t going to cut it. Let’s just run the numbers. Assuming that we would make $3 on a dozen cookies or a single pizza, to hit $800,000 we would need to sell 3.2 million cookies or 267,000 pizzas. Well, even if we could generate those kinds of sales, after being appointed VicePresidents of Marketing for Fortune 500 companies, who are we going to get to bake all those cookies? And simply raising taxes is not an acceptable option. The primary purpose of public schools is education, i.e. academics. As demonstrated last year, nearly a million dollars was committed to where it belonged; in support of our faculty, administration, learning resources and school facilities. I don't have any kids that would participate in track, soccer, or football. But if you ask the parent of any student-athlete if we need a suitable track you'll likely get an emphatic, yes. My conclusion, too, is that we desperately need improvements to our track and field resources and we have two options: either hope that a truckload of gold breaks down in front of the school or get real creative and explore non-traditional methods of fund-raising. We need to respect everyone’s opinion but for the benefit of the kids and the community also be willing to accept any good faith contribution. Much concern has been expressed about the message we’re sending our kids. After having personally visited the track and field complexes at neighboring schools and realizing our kids see the same thing when they travel to those schools, I agree. There is much reason to be concerned.

Rappahannock community actors, actresses, singers and musicians return to the Ki Theatre stage for the twelfth year to tell the story of the birth of Christ as originally conceived by poets, church composers and musicians from Medieval Europe.

Photo courtesy/Wendy Weinberg ‘Bruce Almighty9 will make you laugh By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News “Bruce Almighty,” starring Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston, is premised on the following question: If God gave you his powers for one week, what would you do? Feed the Poor? Prevent natural disasters? Usher in world peace? This engaging comedy, sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, comes to The Theatre in Little Washington on Gay Street Saturday, Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. It willH be showing in DVD. This film was originally scheduled to be shown Sept. 19, but Hurricane Isabel descended upon the community and The Theatre was without power. In “Bruce Almighty,” Carrey, as Bruce Nolan, plays a man for whom the most important thing on earth is to become an anchor on a Buffalo TV station. When he fails to achieve this pinnacle, he vents his anger at the very heavens themselves, challenging God to show and explain himself. God is, in this case, a man in a white suit, played by Morgan Freeman with what can only be described as godlike patience with Bruce. Since Bruce is so dissatisfied with the job God is doing, God turns the controls of the universe over to him—or at least, the controls over his immediate neighborhood in Buffalo. At one point these limited powers seem to extend directly above Buffalo to such an extent that Bruce is able to change the distance of the moon, causing tidal waves in Japan. “Bruce Almighty,” directed by Tom Shadyac and written by Steve Oedekerk, Steve Koren and Mark O’Keefe, is a charmer, the kind of movie where Bruce learns that while he may not ever make a very good God, the experience may indeed make him a better television newsman. Freeman plays God with a quality of warm detachment. He keeps stepping in to encourage Bruce, listen to his complaints and point the way forward. Aniston, as a sweet kindergarten teacher and fiancee, shows that she really can play comedy and keep up with Carrey. Carrey’s ever-pliable face and goofy clowning are well suited to this role eliciting lots of laughs.

Automotive By JASON STEIN fOfl HnEtibtbf COMMUMiCATIONS f not for the wide, shiny metal emblem that hangs on the back liftgate or the A one that sits on the grille we're quite certain the 2004 Volkswagen Touareg would have a huge identity crisis.. A sport-utility vehicle? VW? Make no mistake, somewhere sandwiched between the two brilliant silver logos, there is something extraordinary m Volkswagen s first-ever sport ute. The company might be one of the last ones to the partv. but what a uest. rhe new-for-2tX)4 ouareg is a pleasant mix of pavementdwelling commuter and meited off-roader It's upscale, polished, adept and loaded with standard equipment. So where did this come from and why did it take so lone to get here? For years. VW has been quietly sitting on the sidelines watching as other companies scooped up the outdoorsy market w ith authority. A quick survey of VW’s own customers found that they wanted more than the Jctla. Passat. GTI offerings They wanted to rough it up a little Touareg < pronounced 'Toor-regg. from an African tribe word meaning knight of the desert / w as the answer Sharing its platform with the Porsche Cayenne that was introduced^last year means unitized construction (the body acts as the structure. *> there is no frame), four wheel independent suspension and agjle handling. But. with a tw«>-speed transfer case, it also means the ability to shift into low-range gearing <4WD low > and hop rucks with as much as 12 inches of ground clearance. Touareg can even ford a 23-. inc h -deep stream Whatever the conditions, comfort and style aren't far behind The five-passenger' Touareg is available in two trim levels with a V6 or V8 and w ith one distinct look. From its pointy note and swooping rear lines, to its impressive and unusual interior, the Touareg oozes style. Standard features are abundant (eight-way adjustable seating, power glass sunroof, automatic rain-sensing wipers, for example;; the options are high end (parking sensors, a CD-based navigation sy stem and a 400-watt sounu system;. Mostly, it begs to be driven —anywhere The base 220-horsepower 3 2-liter V6 and the optional 310-hp. 4.2liter VH are paired with a sixspeed automatic transmission with Tiptronic (there's a little Porsche showing through; manual mode. which allows you control ol gear-shifting duties V'6-powered models come with I/-inch alloy wheels and all-season tires, dualZi/ne climate control with rear-seal controls. lots of wood and aluminum inside and a 10-speaker sound system with CD player. Step up to the vs and v vs adds 1 S-inch wheels (l 9s are optional* arid power leather seats. But dus uo'tjuttt comfy ride. Touareg can low more than 7.700 pound*, crgardk** of engine, and the w ,, i«uf-*oetHWvr : kVttOE ( »+urfj bpttfs pcmrr 50/5010 ihe hxjBi/TCM w-hcci* under aor* 0^1 (pidiiiont) is sbndmi ^ j!T 'v'- j: • JI As with the Cayenne. ^ there are no twos' wheel-drive Touaregs. I An interesting f option is the air suspen' sion. a system that increases the standard 8.3 inches of ground clearance to a maximum of 11 .8. In between are a F number of height settings for less intense terrain, along with continuous shock damping that flattens the vehicle s cornering attitude T he Touareg is priced to compete with the BMW' X5, Acura MUX and MercedesBenz ML class vehicles, all mam players in the midsized. mid-luxury sport-utility segment, all well-eslablishedf. As a newcomer, the Touareg -hould settle in merely on the basis of perception It's a bargain Porsche and that will be a convincing argument for a lot of buyers. Even, with all the safety featured the style, the power and the prowess the Touareg has to offer, getting behind die wheel w ill be tne real acid test and one this tough . off-roader passes with ease 2004Touareg *fojf-oa/ ta/-#r«i-arn* sport-uw5f WnOt ♦Bast 2^'iner Vt ana opbonai 42 ♦te' V* producing 220 hasepower anfl31Chorwpo»er respectrewf ♦Suspttrt automatic transmrs4<or •<r> marwai-smt teat,/e ♦Toe as-nea Touareg notos a unique powtiw it me spon-uMrtf market oomonng true ott-roafl gm antn GermarengneerwJ lu*ury ♦Amougr fa, *oj« new murif contuse me Touareg ter a Porsche Cayenne me tec sfcare me same oast DM. *%ungutNiUtetfar-eMtteee system mas automacaly earaches poawr oeteeen me fcota anl rear +*#*. to mason Owing ' commons A tes-speec iraneter caee equpped a#t low range, dateere engine paw to me am* ■meets *or>y-fcee gperteon on and tdrtie mad ♦Toupn ante, daaef and tale. yMrs %et<er*f «ae «w epoHinr market toe deer anti me eat tftMM aaMjr Omar and paMaaper fmrs- am sdeenpac* amp; Directory O CHEVROLET Pohanka Chevrolet 13915 Lee-Jackson Highway Chantilly, VA 800-500-8172 www.pohankachevrolet.com Jim McKay Chevrolet 10452 Lee Highway Fairfax, VA 22030 703-591-4800 www.jimmckaychevrolet.com Sterling Chevrolet 40980 Harry Byrd Hwy Sterling, VA 703-450-7500 Dudley Martin Chevrolet 8000 Sudley Road Manassas, VA 20108 703-368-2111 www.dudleymartin.com Jerry's Chevrolet-Oldsmobile jc'> | 18 Ft.
