Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Town of Washington will likely be under Rappahannock County’s new parking ordinance if the village can be assured that it can control the number of parking signs that line the streets. The Tbwn Council made its decision this week after a telephone poll of members was conducted by Mayor Eugene Leggett. The issue of whether the town would want to be included in the county ordinance came up at last week’s monthly meeting of the Tbwn Council. At that time, Bryant Lee a member of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors representing the Washington area, briefed the council on the parking regulation the supervisors adopted earlier this month. The regulation, which is to go into effect in the county March 1, permits law enforcement officers to ticket illegally parked cars and cars without licenses and permits, even if the owner is not with the car. The officer may also order the removal of a car in violation. Because the county regulation does not cover Washington, the council would have to adopt it. Several members of the council carefully questioned Lee on the impact of the ticketing and whether it would materially change parking in Washington. Council Member Claudia Mitchell was anxious that the streets would suddenly be lined by new parking signs. Parking signs in Virginia are assigned two ways: if a law enforcement agency or a local government authority seeks a sign it must apply to the Virginia Department of Transportation. If VDOT agrees, the sign is placed. There is no public hearing or veto according to the rules. Only official VDOT signs can be enforced. Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy advised the council at its meeting that VDOT has said for budgetary reasons it is not anxious to post new signs. In another matter, the council granted a special use permit to James V. DeBergh of Harris Hollow Foods, LC to allow him to have offices in a building next to the old Washington School on Mt. Salem Avenue. The school’s property has become multi-use. The main building is being developed into apartments in the front portion while the Child Care and Learning Center (CCLC) is in the back portion of the building. A senior nutrition center is in the so-called annex building which DeBergh has purchased. DeBergh told the council he bought the annex to develop into offices for either his company or to rent to others. DeBergh bought the property from CCLC and wanted to have the same special use permit that it possessed. But Renate Chapman of CCLC told the council she was concerned that some time in the future the building might be used for a purpose inappropriate to the child care facility. She wanted the permit limited to “professional offices only.” The council agreed. The property has no limitations on hours or cars.

Making a dream a promise By Richard Lyres Special to the Rappahannock News A large and enthusiastic crowd of Rappahannock residents came out Sunday to celebrate the legacy and promise of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., at a program at The Theatre in Washington. The audience of more than 100 listened to stirring and memorable words of several guest speakers who challenged the audience to not only honor the memory of this great man but help make his dream a promise. ^ After a rousing rendition of the National Anthem sung a cappella by Bridget Spillman, the master of ceremonies, William Spencer, director of the Office of Equity Programs for the Fairfax County government, introduced keynote speaker, Dr. Hortense B. Hinton who eloquently recalled the legacy left by Dr. King. Hinton, provost of Northern Virginia Community College in Manassas recalled, as others did, the segregated one-room school i houses in America, and in Rappahannock County not so many years ago. But she proudly pointed out how extraordinarily skilled teachers were to teach so many subjects in such crowded quarters and still impart both knowledge and spiritual values to their students. Old-fashioned drive and perseverance like that of King’s — should be basic values taught to students, Hinton urged, with many “amens” from the audience. Hinton noted that all of King’s accomplishments were already achieved by the time he was 39 years old. She ended her address: “I challenge each of you to work with children to give them the thirst for education and culture and spiritual values. Remember, it only takes one.” During the celebration, two Rappahannock County students — third grader Connor Forrest and second grader Travis Ford Pullen — were called to the stage by Superintendent of Rappahannock County schools Dr. Robert Chappell who himself began his teaching career in a segregated public school in southern Virginia. The two students were being recognized for winning a writing contest sponsored by Lord Fairfax Community College. They were among 38 students asked to research the life of Martin Luther King and write essays on their conclusions. Connor won first place and Travis won second place. The ceremony concluded with recognition of the contributions of Wendy Weinberg for her long legal service in support of equal housing and other civil rights issues and for the gracious use of The Theatre of which Weinberg is owner. On behalf of the Julie E. Boddie Scholarship Committee, Lillian Aylor presented Weinberg with the first Martin Luther King “DreamKeeper” award. Like his father, Obenshain is strong, fiscal ^conservative By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer Republican Senator Mark Obenshain, who represents Rappahannock County, said Monday that “a lot of questions need to be answered before Virginia decides to raise taxes” and he cited nearly $4 billion in federal and state funds that might be “avenues” for the state to find resources without tax hikes. Obenshain said in a telephone interview from Richmond that Virginia has some $2 billion in uncollected debt, monies that people and firms owe the Old Dominion state. He said former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder’s Commission on Efficiency and Effectiveness in government found another $1.5 billion in programs that could be trimmed and that some $200 million in federal money under President Bush’s “no child left behind” initiative has not been claimed by the states. According to Obenshain, the projected economic growth for Virginia is five to eight percent and this too could help Richmond avoid raising taxes. Obenshain quibbles with the notion that there is a shortfall in state funds. “There is no shortfall,” he argues. “There is no less money this year than last year.” He said that Gov. Mark Warner’s See OBENSHAIN, Page A5 If wecan’t find a way to meet our needs without a tax increase, then families face a cut in their budget. Sen. Mark Obenshain Lack of help rings alarm By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County fire officials say there is a critical shortage of young volunteer firefighters in the county and during daytime business hours some companies are so depleted there would be nobody to answer a call. Jack Atkins, president of the Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association, said that only 25 volunteers make most of the emergency calls in Rappahannock. Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company Chief J. B. Carter said that fire coverage is most spotty on weekdays when so many volunteer fire- - fighters are out of the county. Carter and other fire officials said the problem has been long recognized and anticipated, but has become critical in recent years. County Administrator John McCarthy said it was one of those things off in the distance and “suddenly you realize it is now." Rappahannock County’s plight is not so different than what is happening in much of rural America. The county is aging. Of the 6,983 persons counted in the 2000 U. S. census, 963 were over 65-years-of-age and 1,900 persons were over 55. The census also showed that Rappahannock had some 3,385 persons between the ages of 20 and 54, equally split between men and women. The aging of the community not only results in a drain of young volunteers but it makes the supplying of emergency medical services vastly more acute. The census reported that almost one in four persons over 65, for example, live alone and would need care or transport in an emergency. Richie Burke, the Emergency 911 Coordinator said “there’s no question when you have a geriatric population, there’s a growth in emergency calls. The EMS (emergency medical services) calls go up sharply.” Burke is conducting a survey of 911 emergency calls for the last six months of 2003 and it will be reported to the Board of Supervisors in the February meeting, but he said that the number of calls is increasing. What is causing the dearth of volunteers and what to do about it is a subject of debate. Carter, now 38, said he first volunteered when he was 14years-old. He became so interested in the work as an emergency responder that he became a professional and works for the Prince William County fire department in Gainesville and See SHORTAGE, Page A5 An outdoor lab A plot of land in the county is being used by RCHS science students for research.

Global Spotlights presents: ‘Tales From Tabriz’ lecture By Linda Dietel Special to the Rappahannock News International headlines come alive with a Global Spotlights’ presentation, “Tales from Tabriz,” an informal lecture by former head of the American Consulate in Iran, Carl Coon on Thursday, Jan. 29. The city of Tabriz is in the rural and remote northwest corner of Iran. Ambassador Coon spent two years in charge of the American Consulate in Tabriz. His experiences as a young man in a very foreign and remote corner of the world were unusual and often quite humorous. Ambassador Coon was a U.S. Foreign Service officer for over 36 years and served abroad in many diplomatic assignments including Germany, Syria, India, Iran, Morocco and Nepal. In 1981 after a tour in Washington during which he was in charge of the State Department’s North African Affairs, he returned to Nepal as the U.S. Ambassador. In 1985 he retired. Since then he has combined further travel with scholarly studies and settled in Rappahannock County. The program will take place in the Rappahannock County High School band room at 7:30 p.m. with Iranian refreshments and a variety of artifacts and rugs for which Iran is famous. Refreshments will be prepared bv the high school culinary arts students. Ambassador Coon will talk informally starting at 8 p.m.. followed by a question and answer period. In the event of school being closed on Jan. 29 because of weather, a snow date has been set for Thursday, Feb. 5, same time and place. Global Spotlights is a program designed to introduce students and other county residents to various cultures from around the world. It is sponsored by Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation.

RCHS has, thanks to CRC, a forest biodiversity monitoring plot on Rock Mills Road on property donated for use by Dr. and Mrs. John Tble. Like many others in the network of plots established by CRC, this plot is 100 meters by 100 meters or 1 hectare and all of the trees are tagged, numbered, diameter measured and species identified and located on a grid. This now serves as a template for students to do research. Students are asked to come up with questions that they can research in this outdoor laboratory. Then they must develop research methods, collect data and attempt to draw conclusions. This is the first year that RCHS students have carried out all of these steps. This year’s Environmental Science class was divided into four teams: Soils, Aquatics, Forestry and Wildlife. These teams coincide with the four mam themes in RCHS Quiz Bowl record now five wins, four losses By David Naser Special to the Rappahannock News The RCHS Quiz Bowl team traveled to Clarke County High School for a quad match versus George Mason, Strasburg, and Clarke on Jan. 5. With the combination of the long holiday break and the bye week before that, the team had a rocky start in the first match with Mason. In this match Nathan Welch was team captain, assisted by seniors Julia Baumgardner and Glen Swain, and Anna Kreyling, a junior. After round one, the score was Mason 55, Panthers 20, with Kreyling correctly identifying the Electoral College as the group unanimously, electing George Washington as president. Mason developed a rapid fire momentum of correct, answers which was demoralizing to the Panthers who were outscored upon by 100 to 10 in that round. In Rounds 2 and 3, the dreaded literature and Shakespeare questions finally surfaced, with Julia Baumgardner identifying the Dickens novel, Nicholas Nickelby. By this time, it was too little, too late and the match went into the books: Mason 225, Rappahannock 50. The team immediately went to the Strasburg match, and trailed Strasburg 40 to 50 at the end of Round 1. Nathan Welch correctly identified Benjamin Franklin as the person who quipped that “death and taxes” are unavoidable. Since the Panthers trailed, they got to choose questions for the directed round, asking for the “A” questions.

The students' finished products were presented on Dec. 10 at the CRC Student Symposium. The forestry team compared areas that were logged some years ago using horses to areas within the plot not logged to see if any new species moved into the opened areas. They found that there were no new species present. The soils team tested the soils all over the plot to compare levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and the pH. They found no significant differences in these parameters across the plot. The wildlife team wanted to census small mammal populations within the plot. They used patches of wet- sand that were baited to attract animals. The hope was there would be footprints to use for identification. They had some luck identifying a raccoon, but usually the prints belonged to a few neighborhood dogs that liked the baits as well. The aquatics team studied the salamander population on the plot and tried to correlate where they found salamanders to the moisture levels measured. They found salamanders but did not find a connection with moisture levels. VALLEY AVIATION Hassle Free - NO Washington ADIZ!

We never think much about them if we don’t need them, but when we do, we need them badly. Rappahannock County has commendable fire and rescue services. They are volunteers, and among them are pros like Ann Spieker of the Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company, who was a paid firefighter in Fairfax rising to a EMS Lieutenant rank and J. B. Carter of the Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company who is a paid firefighter in Prince William County. In their home county, they and dozens of others spend „ a lot of their free time voluntarily manning the fire com'panies that protect our fives and our homes. The American volunteer fire company is as old as the Revolution and as fundamental to fife in rural America as the glue of our democracy. Being a volunteer emergency worker in this county is a tricky job. The distances are far, the radio and telephone hookups are hampered by the mountains and the roads up some mountains and backwoods are winding and dangerous, lb respond to a 911 call, the responders need the quickest call they can get, the best directions and the patient coordination of the dispatcher. Indeed every response is a team job: the fire fighters, the emergency medical technicians, the law enforcement officers and the dispatchers. There are six Rappahannock County dispatchers, working 24/7 at the Sheriffs Office. They are all trained deputy sheriffs, all women, all as dedicated as the fireman who enters the burning building. When we call 911 for help, that’s where our call goes. The dispatchers must understand our needs, dispatch the right fire company and the right piece of equipment to the right address and direct police units as well. Later they may have to fine up helicopters or get special equipment to the scene of the emergency. in recent montns some oi tne nre compames say calls come in late, sometimes with inaccurate information and often the dispatchers seem overwhelmed by other duties. Fire officials claim they need more and better trained dispatchers. Sheriff Larry Sherertz claims his dispatchers are the hardest working people in his office and he is constantly trying to improve their responses. Dispatchers also are jail matrons and answer all other calls to the sheriff on some shifts. We think it is time the Board of Supervisors takes an active role in this issue. Afterall, it is the board’s responsibility to see that we have good fire and rescue services. Meanwhile, average citizens can help. Remember 911 is an emergency number; it is not what we dial when we can’t find a house key or we need directions. It would help if each of us made sure our houses are accessible and well marked. In the end, improving the dispatching service could cost more tax dollars. But when we have a chest pain like an elephant sitting on top of us, or a kitchen fire has swept into the living room, we’re going to want to hear those sirens roaring up the road. And quickly too. ‘Dr. Young was a hero in our community’ I join the entire Rappahannock Community in mourning the death of Bill Young. I first met Bill when he took care of my mother in the mid1980s, but had a better opportunity to know him and Mitzie after I stopped commuting and became mayor of Washington. I was always impressed by Mitzie and Bill’s involvement in many community activities and was grateful to them for assuming the mortgage on the Tbwn Hall, but I became especially impressed by their perse verance after Bill became ill. They continued their community activities and were consistent attendees at the Tbwn Council and other government meetings. Not only did they attend, but both provided what was always constructive input, something for which I was greatly appreciative. Bill was a special human being and we will miss him and the spirit with which he lived. Dr. Young was a hero in our community. Stewart Willis Washington Thanking the community Our Rappahannock community is truly remarkable! My family and I stand in awe of the supportive out-pouring of reminiscences at the impromptu service held last Sunday at Found Funeral Home to honor my late husband, Bill. My appreciation of the kindness of those who attended and of those who nave communicated since is boundless. The Young family, Arianne, Kevin and Ellen, his wife, Lome and her husband, Daniel Duchorme, and Michael and his family in absentia all express their gratitude.

Rappahannock News Photo/ Richard Lykes Letters I think he should lay off Frances’ My Rappahannock News of Christmas Day just arrived (Jan. 14), thanks to the vagaries of the USPS, and I see the issue of the fine for late tax payment of Rappahannock taxes still had Ed’s pants in a twist! Well, it is indeed irritating (as I got stuck once with a stiff fine on my Culpeper County taxes as the tax notice was stuck in the interior of some junk mail and I missed it completely) but Ed is still confusing the messenger with the message. In fact Rappahannock County even states that failure to receive a bill does not exempt one from taxes and on the due date. The fine does seem a bit draconian in view of the fact that the full amount was paid shortly after the due date. Ed may be entitled to a hearing on this matter and should avail himself of any appeal process but I think he should lay off Frances. I once transposed the cents figure on my property tax and paid something like 23 cents when it should have been 32 cents and Frances paid my full tax bill, taking the difference out of her own pocket. She informed me of this and I cut a small check to settle arrears. I suspect I am not the only one that Frances has helped and rather than getting brickbats, a bouquet would be in order. Tom Spande Sperryville ‘Lack of compassion’ in articles was ‘very disturbing’ In the past two weeks Rappahannock County has experienced a tremendous loss. Dylan M. Corbin was not only a good athlete and student but also a great friend to many. I personally had the pleasure of knowing Dylan from a small child to the wonderful young man in which he had become. When I picked up the Rappahannock News to read about the accident, the lack of sympathy and compassion that was avoided in the articles “Car accident kills 16year-old boy” and “Brothers were at party before accident” was very disturbing not only to me but to many others that I have spoken with. I thought it was ridiculous to read where or what they may have been doing. This just keeps the ongoing gossip circulating in Rappahannock. Besides writing what I call “gossip” about a tragic accident, how about just the facts? Tb conclude, I chink that the Corbin family is not only extremely grateful for the support of others but they are also a great family. So please just keep them in your prayers, not in our gossip columns. Kelly R. Atkins Sperryville A ‘wind of goodness blowing through our community’ On Dec. 27 when my daughter, Phyllis Poore, owner and sole operator of Ash Tree Stables, was suddenly incapacitated as a result of an accident with her horse there was no one at the stables to care for the 20 or so horses. This is when super friends gathered other friends to come to her aid. As her mother, completely ignorant of how to help, I watched these ladies take over, organize and carry out the multitude of duties necessary to operate the facility. Also good men friends came to operate the tractors as well doing everything else necessary. These ladies and gentlemen, I do not use these terms loosely, showed generous hearts to help a friend. All of these friends have other jobs; they are not sit at home folks. With so much bad news, selfishness and greed being aired as news, this is a refreshing wind of goodness blowing through our community. My words of thanks can never express my heartfelt gratitude to all these wonderful friends. Libby Whetzel Washington Reader wants supervisors to reverse decision on road After reading your article, “Why supervisors voted to pave road,” in the Dec. 18 edition of the Rappahannock News ,1 decided it was time I wrote a letter to the editor. I reside on Grimsley Road at the top of the dangerous “S” turn on the adjoining property to the Newlins. I was out of town for the Board of Supervisors’ meeting but voiced my opinion not to include Grimsley Road in the six-year plan by letter. The supervisors are misinformed if they think that Grimsley Road is not used as a short cut. Last year I was driving north on Grimsley Road when another vehicle traveling south took the mirror off my truck. I had pulled to the side as much as I could but since we were both .driving pickups there wasn’t much room to spare. He did not slow down as he approached me or move over to pass safely. He claimed he was only going 35 mph. I asked the man if he lived on the road and he said “no.” He was using the road as a short cut, which was confirmed by another person who uses the road as a cut through and was familiar with this vehicle. People who live on Grimsley Road are courteous enough to slow down and pull over to let others pass. The inability to safely pass on many portions of Grimsley Road ought to be enough to invalidate the idea of this road being an alternate school bus route. This is especially true on the tar and chipped north end where there are water run off trenches deep enough to take the transmission out of any unsuspecting vehicle that should stray off the road sur face. Then add the fact that if Route 647 is flooded, Grimsley Road will also be flooded as has already been demonstrated on several occasions in 2003. I cannot imagine anyone even considering sending school buses down the dangerous “S” turn. I have driven buses for a living and held a commercial license. With deep trenches on both sides of the road, which make it impossible to pull over, the extremely sharp series of turns and a very steep grade, I doubt that a school bus could safely negotiate that blind “S” turn and certainly not if another vehicle approached from the other direction. It could be hazardous at best and disastrous at worst. Finally, the 0.3 mile portion of the road proposed to be tar and chipped as a compromise is a section of road that is in fine condition. I often walk this section of road. I can see no reason to tar and chip it especially when the money could be more wisely spent on other more pressing issues. Tar and chipping will only increase driving speed (as evidenced by the fact that people already drive faster through the “S" turn since it was tar and chipped). It will also increase the use of this road as a cut through, not to mention making it more inviting to the already problematic motorcyclists who visit this county on the weekends. Grimsley Road is best left as it is and I would like the Board of Supervisors, as per the request of the majority of its residents, to reverse its decision and remove Grimsley Road from the six-year plan. Wendy Murdoch Flint Hill Three supervisors ‘ignored’ what Grimsley residents said We are writing in response to the Dec. 15 article in the Rappahannock News citing the Board of Supervisors’ reasons for voting to pave a portion of Grimsley Road. It makes very little sense to pave a road as a future alternative school bus route and for future development when there are projects in the here and now that need doing. The Board of Supervisors is worried about the county’s school buses travel now? Why spend money on Grimsley Road when no children who attend public school even live on the road and there is a dangerous “S” turn with an 18.36 percent grade? This turn is already paved and the paving does not make it less steep or improve the sight distance. Mr. Estes says the paving is for the future and land along the road is prime development land and will be developed. This statement contradicts VDOT guidelines for the Rural Rustic Road program, which say the Board of Supervisors will endeavor to limit growth on roads improved under this plan and that expected growth, and increase of traffic over the next 10 years is minimal. Mr. Estes also stated that VDOT recommended the road be paved. The .3 mile section was suggested by VDOT to try to placate everybody. The VDOT engineer evaluated the road and said there was no immediate need to pave it. Mr. Lee says that traffic will not increase if the road is paved. VDOT literature refers to the increase in traffic and speed expected with the improved surfacing. In addition, there are approximately 20 licensed drivers that live on the entire road. We live on the road and know that residents do not drive the majority of cars and trucks that travel Grimsley. The road is already used as a cut through. Mr. Frazier justifies paving the section because the road is already partially paved. The majority of the road is not paved and this is exactly why we opposed this project. Using this logic, the paving will continue in sections until the entire road is paved. Paving the .3 mile section is scheduled for July, not years in the future. ChaptQ* 7 of the Comprehensive Plan deals with the future of the county. The section on transportation says, “The rural character of many of the county’s secondary roads is important to the county. Roads which lack hard surfaces, or which are narrow or which meander over the landscape, or all three, are integral parts of the fabric of the county. They are valued by both residents and the tourism element of the local economy.” Even the Comprehensive Plan acknowledges the value of having some roads remain gravel. It is unfortunate the next local elections are three years and nine months away. We hope that county citizens who hope to maintain the rural character of the county and also wish their taxes to be spent responsibly, will have as long a memory as the residents of Grimsley Road whose voices were ignored by three of the members of the Board of Supervisors.

Sports Junior Panther boys win one, lose one By Rhonda Jenkins Special to the Rappahannock News The Junior Panther boys basketball team had a busy week on the road. Last Wednesday the team traveled to Luray to face the Bulldogs. The Panthers had defeated the Bulldogs back on Dec. 11 at home and were hoping to repeat the win on the road. Rapp started off a little slow and was down 11-6 at the end of the first quarter. They picked up their defense only allowing the Bulldogs to score four points in the second quarter. Rapp had the lead at the half 17-15. The score went back and forth but with two key three pointers by Chase Tapper and several big buckets by Shawn Porter the young Panthers came home with a victory defeating Luray 38-31. Shawn Porter had 20 points and six rebounds; Chase Tupper had eight points; Will Boelte had eight rebounds and three block shots; and Travis Jenkins had six rebounds and five assists. Sixth grader Patrick Hanberry came off the bench to record five key steals for the team. On Friday, Jan. 16, the Panthers traveled to Strasburg to face the Rams. In an earlier meeting, Rapp had come out on top 38-37. The Rams were look Baseball registration The Rappahannock Athletic Association will hold its Spring Baseball Registration on Saturday, Jan. 24, Jan. 31 and Feb. 7 at the Amissville Fire Hall from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. If you are new to RAA, bring a copy of your birth certificate.

The Harrisonburg senator, who not only represents Rappahannock but other Shortage From Page A1 volunteers in Rappahannock. Carter said that part of the problem is the shrinking number of families with children. “My son is in the fourth grade. There sire about 50 kids in his grade. When I was in the 4th grade, there were about 100,” he said. Both Carter and Burke said there is a “cultural change” as well. People dont volunteer as much,” said Burke. “The kids have nicer cars and gameboys and hanging around on the weekends rolling hose and keeping the engine up isn’t as exciting,” Carter said. Burke who has been a volunteer since he was a teenager said that in the 1970s “there wasn’t anything else to do.” Many of the new arrivals in Rappahannock come later in life, accustomed to paid fire departments, and neither physically nor emotionally ready for the rigors of fighting fires. Jed Duvall, 66, a veteran former national television correspondent and producer lives in the county where he conducts freelance projects. Duvall is training to be a firefighter, what Carter calls part of our “Geritol crew,” who"are much appreciated, and can best be utilized driving the firetruck. The county’s zoning, a long debated subject, impacts on the kind of people who move to Rappahannock. Carter said that young middle class families find it hard to buy a property with a minimum of 25 acres and a house and pay for it. But Burke said even the more populous counties like Fauquier and Culpeper have difficulty recruiting volunteers. The answer some give is to hire paid firefighters. Burke, a county employee, said he doesn’t think the county can afford it, but acknowledges the issue becomes more pressing everyday. northwest counties, is serving his first term in public office, but he brings to Richmond one of the strongest Republican heritages in the state. His father, Richard Obenshain, died in an airplane crash in 1978 shortly after winning his party’s nomination for the U. S. Senate. Obenshain’s death resulted in Sen. John Warner winning the nomination. Warner has been elected to five terms. The senior Obenshain was the head of the Republican Party in Virginia in 1972 and is credited with helping rebuild the party in Virginia. Sen.

The team was a little flat and had several peo pie in foul trouble and several calls go against them. Shawn Porter led the Panthers with seven points.

Rappahannock News Photo/Ann Spieker Making points Rappahannock’s JV guard Shannon Woodward sets up for consistent points on the free throw line, helping her team win 46-29 over Warren County on Jan. 12. Meanwhile, the Warren County varsity team won 60-19 over Rappahannock. On Jan. 16, Rappahannock played George Mason in girls basketball with George Mason winning both games: 49-23 in JV play and 42-15 in the varsity game. Kate Obenshain Griffin, is also in politics as is his uncle, Joe Obenshain. Mark Obenshain carries his father’s heritage of strong conservative fiscal standards. “No matter what we do,” he said, “there will be budget cuts somewhere. If we can’t find a way to meet our needs without a tax increase, then families face a cut in their budget.” Of the number of proposals now on the table in Richmond, Obenshain favors ones that are “revenue neutral,” that try to find as many cuts as they need additions and do not require tax increases. Among these is a plan of Rappahannock’s Delegate Allen J. Lauderback that would lower the sales tax to four percent, but extend it to services like barbershops. Obenshain was appointed last week to two committees vital to Rappahannock and the western counties: Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources and courts and justice. With 17 years experience as a lawyer, he said, the courts committee was “where I could be of immediate use.” He said a prominent senator stepped aside so he could sit on agriculture, but he declined to name his benefactor.

The final score was Strasburg 140; RCHS 80. This is the first loss to Strasburg in three years, and the team was visibly upset, vowing to beat the Rams on their home turf at a later match. In the third match, the Panthers finally secured a win by defeating Clarke. The directed round was the highlight of the evening for RCHS. Baumgardner correctly answered “melodrama,” while Kreyling knew “Sense and Sensibility” and the classic movie, “Casablanca.” The Panthers scored 70; Clarke 50. The final round went the other way with the Eagles 40; Rappahannock 20. At the end, RCHS prevailed 130 to 105. The Panthers’ overall record falls to five wins and four losses, but the team is confident about chances for a sweep next week. Free Information! Even the phone call is free!

Inspiring Ttiaugfits by Randy Minter UNIVERSAL & ETERNAL The burial practices of humans down through the ages demonstrate the universal urge to exert some degree of • control over uncontrollable natural forces. There may be a belief that we can at least maintain the illusion of control over the physical challenges stretching between birth and death, although it is difficult for both the psyche and the intellect to confront death completely. Only through faith can we confront the ultimate mystery of existence without despair. There are many forms of faith, all of which promise some form of continued existence, from an exaggerated sense of worldly bliss to union with the Supreme Being. Within this promise is a glimpse of what lies beyond the terrestrial realm awaiting humankind after death. When we lose a loved one, we often face our own mortality, and that offers a sense of tremendous loss and fear over what we cannot control. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we believe that finding rituals to honor a loss and put it in the larger perspective. We all are mortal, and death provides the endpoint that makes life meaningful.

Section • Neighbors/B2 • Obituaries/B2 • Classifieds/B4-B8 January 22, 2004 ‘Soup and Soul’ stirs the imagination By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Art that dazzled the eye and camaraderie that provided food for the soul was on the menu of Ki Theatre’s first “Soup and Soul” event of the year. Bill Dietel, former educator, philanthropist, art collector, and now sheep farmer near Flint Hill, gave an audience of nearly 40 persons a tour de force of his and his wife Linda’s art collection last Saturday evening at their home. Speaking from a lifetime of experience, Dietel shared with Soup and Soul’s listeners his stories on how he came to acquire his important collection of varied works of art. “It is important for you to know, however,” Dietel pointed out, “that this is not a ‘collection’ as such. It is art of various mediums and subjects that we have purchased or inherited that represent works of art that we like, either for its intrinsic value or because it is associated with people that we admired in one way or the other.” A number of his works of art are those by well-known Rappahannock County artists and artisans. The evening was another in a series of Ki Theatre’s events presented by gifted and well-known county residents who share through their stones, art, music, and books-inthe-making, personal expe- * riences in the intimate setting of a private home.

Bill Dietel introduces his art collection by showing the audience the first work of art he collected back in his college days at Princeton. A 15th century illuminated manuscript, this priceless work of art was beautifully handlettered and gilded by Benedictine monks in medieval France. The Dietels only son, Fritz, an accomplished artist who has a number of his art objects in the family home, fashioned a wooden sculpture from strips of old cypress paneling that was about to be thrown out. In his Philadelphia studio “with every wood working tool imaginable,” Fritz Dietel cut, heated in a huge oven, bent and then crafted strips of cypress into a design which he calls “Swish.” George Bernard Shaw’s ‘The Apple Cart’ at Theatre By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News The best known plays of George Bernard Shaw, the foremost dramatist of the 20th century, are probably “Saint Joan,” for which he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925, and “Pygmalion,” which eventually metamorphosed into “My Fair Lady.” But Shaw wrote scores of brilliant, biting, and witty plays throughout his 94 years — plays which continue to be performed to the delight of audiences throughout the world. One of these, “The Apple Cart,” will be produced at the Theatre at Washington, Virginia, by the students of the Mask and Bauble Society of Georgetown University. There will be two performances: Saturday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 1 at 2:30 p.m. Asked to explain what “The Apple Cart” is about, the students say that “through the story of a fictional King of England attempting to reassert his power within a constitutional monarchy, Shaw critiques the concepts of democracy and good governance. Written in 1930 and set in the future, Shaw’s satire of world politics is startlingly contemporary.” Remarks by Shaw in his preface to “The Apple Cart” are likely the same as he would still hold about today’s political scene: “the conflict is . . . between democracy . . . and plutocracy, which ... has bought and swallowed democracy. Money talks: money prints: money broadcasts: money reigns; and kings and labor leaders alike have to register its decrees, and even, by a staggering paradox, to finance its enterprises and guarantee its profits. Democracy is no longer bought: it is bilked.” The production is directed by Nate Kleinman, a senior at Georgetown. Kleinman was last seen at the Theatre in the fall of 2002 in Picasso at the Lapin Agile. The lead character of the play is the King of England, King Magnus, played by Michael Slaby, also a senior at Georgetown, who was seen at the Theatre in January of 2002 in the role of Septimus in Arcadia. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under.

Prepare to tap your feet, often and fast. The “Country Rhythm Boys” are coming to town. Saturday night, Jan. 24 at 8 p.m., country sounds will sing out at the Theatre in Little Washington on Gay Street. Don Keyser will bring his band, the “Country Rhythm Boys” for an evening billed as a “Close To Home Concert.” Keyser is joined by bass player Dave Edwards, Rick Johnson on the five-string banjo, Don Soliday with the hound-dog dobro, Frank Monicure, who sings and plays the mandolin, and Tbm Queen, on the dobro and acoustic guitar. For Don Keyser, playing in Washington is indeed close to home. He grew up on Red Oak Mountain, looking down on Woodville. He did the chores—cut a whole lot of firewood—and took the long, long walk to school. The way he puts it, “I walked off the mountain,” to school, and on Sundays to worship at the Hope Hill Church, over toward Castleton, a long trek indeed. All the while, as a boy, his head was filling up with tunes. He was picking at the guitar and by the time he was 12 years old, he was on stage with his grandfather, Sam Whorton, he said in an interview When you are young and learning the picking and the fiddling, he says, “you got to love it dearly. You got to take the time to get your fingers sore.” last week. Keyser’s dad Robert was on stage, too, as the caller for “figgy” dances - square dances. Keyser remembers a boyhood spent on the porch of a log home with the family, the grandfather and uncles— “four or five uncles, I guess”—picking, fiddling, and singing. It was the grandfather, Sam Whorton, who told Keyser that he could leave aside the guitar and become a fiddler. Keyser w’e”ked to save a nickel, save a dime, and amassed $3 to buy a fine fiddle from a cousin. He has been fiddlin’ away ever since. “It was my grandfather who See KEYSER, Page B2

Keyser From Page B1 said the talent for music is a gift from God,” recalls Keyser. ‘“You have it\ he told me, ‘it’s in the genes, in the blood.’” The young musician learned the tunes, words and melodies, by heart. “Quite a few,” he says, “all in the head. They were hand-medowns. I don’t read music.” He learned by going to hear and watch older men play. And not just his relatives. He studied a man Keyser calls one of America’s greats, John Ashby. “He was,” says Keyser,” the first fiddle player to appear at Carnegie Hall in New York. I picked up quite a few fiddle tunes from him.” Keyser would also hug the jukebox, listening over and over to well-known artists. In all of this, Keyser was encouraged by his mother, Sam Whorton’s daughter Addie. Addie lives in Washington, Virginia, where she has reached the age of 101, or 102. Don explains: “It depends which page of the family bible you read.” Since Don lives in Alexandria, he is able to visit often. Keyser speaks lovingly of bluegrass as “the true original American music.” He made a living as a factory worker and then as a city bus driver, and is retired from those occupations. But Don Keyser will never retire from music. “I play for pleasure,” he says, “I never expected to make much money from it.” When you are young and learning the picking and the fiddling, he says, “you got to love it dearly. You got to take the time to get your fingers sore.” He learned from the older men, and picked up his favorites— they’ve been with him over the years: “Lost Indian”; “Turkey In The Straw”; “Down Yonder”; “Ragtime Annie.” Those and many more will be on stage Saturday night.

Automotive m CAD ILL A\\\VM By JASON STEIN WHEELBASE COMMUNICATIONS ust when you were W" getting used to the idea two seat roadster and a 400-horsepower CTSV sedan, along comes the company with another surprise: a mid-sized sport-utility vehicle. The Caddy of today is hardly the Caddy you knew. The new-for-2004 SRX is a vehicle that defies definition and invites interpretation. As one of first of the Sseries of models, the SRX foreshadows and shares the automotive DNA of future Cadillac vehicles, such as the 2005 STS sedan that replaces the current Seville. If the SRX is any indication, the future looks utilitarian — as useful as your mother’s station wagon, but nothing like anything that ever hauled groceries or the family dog. That’s Cadillac’s intention: Keep breaking with convention. Marketed by General Motors as a “medium luxury utility vehicle,” Cadillac has aimed the SRX at the Lexus RX300, Acura MDX, BMW X5, Lincoln Aviator and Infiniti’s FX45, all radical interpretations of the familywaeon theme. Like much of adillac truck, a its concept-vehicle predecessor, the Vizon, which was shown in 2001. What’s drives the SRX is your choice of two engines: the next-generation 320horsepower 4.6-liter Nonhstar V8; and an all-new 255-horsepower'3.6-liter V6. Each powerplant mated to its own specific five-speed automatic transmission, both of which allow for clutchless the competition, the SRX is proudly passeng;er-car based, riding atop the same platform as the CTS sedan. In keeping with its theme of being unique, Cadillac hopes the SRX stands apart. A ?|uick look rom the curb confirmsjhat much is true. All of Cadillac’s new vehicles have adopted the “art and science” design phi% 4 K} & manual shifting. Rearwheel drive is standard — as are fourwheel disc brakes with antilock — or you can specify allwheel drive. Of course, performance is an important part of the SRX package losophy — a belief that every new Cadillac should take a daring approach to style. The SRX’s styling stands out in a sea of boxy sport-utility vehicles and minivans that fill mall parking lots from sea to sea. And like its family members, the SRX arrives with that crisp, creased look that resembles anu paii ui uiai \^auuicu~ nuu to the future. The CTS sedan was one of the first applications of the Sigma architecture, a platform that features a near 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, a stretched wheelbase and a low center of gravity. With those Benchmarks as a starting point, the SRX has a slightly different agenda to I fulfill than the CTS: space. The SRX can accept up to seven people with the optional third-row seat. For extra cargo capacity, the secondrow seat folds flat and the third row power-folds into the floor at the push of a button. An optional rear ‘cargo management system’, available as an alternative to the third row seat, offers three rear compartments and includes a removable storage bin. Do you need a reminder that the SRX is still a Cadillac? Around the interior there’s a blend of wood and leather that extends from the steering wheel to the shifter knob. And there are still all the creature comforts as well as the kind of technology you’d expect in a Cadillac: an optional DVD-based navigation system; a Bose premium sound system and traction and stability control. Magnetic Ride Control, which essentially uses electric current and liquid metal to provide constant and variable shock dampening, is also available. And, you can specify the optional Ultra View fiveplus-foot-long glass roof with power retractable shade. As with some of its competitors, the price begins at $37,995. Loaded up (somewhere in the $60,000 range) the SRX is in keeping with its rich and affluent heritage. For that price, Cadillac promises plenty. What it delivers, and how, will say a lot about what drives the future.
