HorRock Rappahannock News Staff Writer Gwen Hays and Clyde Humphrey, two Rappahannock County citizens who conducted an exhaustive study of commercial lighting regulations to get a long dormant county lighting ordinance acted upon, said the ordinance will likely be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors at its meeting next month. In a report to the Planning Commission last week, Humphrey said that during a five month study, the couple purchased a $278.90 “professional quality lighting meter” and read an 800-page nationally recognized manual as they sought to help the supervisors and the Planning Commission write a law to control lighting in the county. On Nov. 16, 2001 the Planning Commission approved a lighting ordinance and forwarded it to the Board of Supervisors where it remained neither approved nor unapproved until last fall. See LIGHTING, Page A8 Obenshain seeking stronger penalties By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer Republican Senator Mark Obenshain, who represents Rappahannock County, has filed a bill that could bring more severe sentences for methamphetamine trafficking as the deadly stimulant moves to the forefront of Virginia’s illicit drug trade. Obenshain said in an interview yesterday that methamphetamine trafficking has made “western Virginia the meth capital of the East Coast,” becoming a scourge of the towns and hamlets along Interstate 81. He said that seizures made by law enforcement task forces in the northwestern counties represent 99 percent of all such seizures recorded by state task forces.

Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Planning Commission agreed on changes to two more chapters of the county’s Comprehensive Plan Wednesday and were told by County Administrator John McCarthy that the whole plan might be completed by March and available for a public hearing in April. The plan is regarded as- crucial as the county faces growth from the See PLAN, Page A5 Virginia Democrats gear up for Feb. 10 By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer For Virginia Democrats this wintry month finds a quickened step and a sense of purpose as the Feb. 10 Democratic primary election approaches. As Laura Bland, spokesperson for the Virginia Democratic Committee, laughingly challenges, “it’s easy to say I’m a Democrat.” On the state level, despite tougli opposition from Republican fiscal conservatives, Democratic Gov. Mark Warner’s tax proposal is gaining headway. The Republicans are split with some like Sen. John H. Chichester, R-28, proposing even more drastic tax increases than Warner. Warner’s plan, a combination oi increased sales and tobacco taxes and income tax hikes for those making over $100,000, last week won the approval of the Chamber of Commerce, perhaps Virginia’s most influential business group. The plan will raise, Warner claims, $1 billion and he told the Associated Press in a Jan. 11 interview that he believes Virginians are willing to pay more to avoid the loss oi state services. The decision to move the primary election from March to February has also paid off. Perhaps if former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean had steam rolled victories from Iowa to New Hampshire to South Carolina, the importance of the Virginia contest would have been diminished. But even with six primary elections set for Feb. 3, Virginia, says Bland, will be a further important test of Democratic candidates electability in the South. “We need to make sure that we have a candidate that will appeal tc many Southerners,” Bland said in an interview. South Carolina, she argues, is not enough of a test and the Virginia and Tennessee state primaries on the 10th are important places to find the best candidate. Certainly the candidates seem to agree with her. Three front runners, ' Democratic Senators John Kerry of Massachusetts, John Edwards of North Carolina and retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark have said they are coming to the Jefferson Jackson Day dinner on Feb. 7 at the Greater Richmond Convention Center in Richmond. Edwards has transferred vvui kers to the state ancL&SEty and Clark hav# workers here. Dean has had a Virginia headquarters. The Madison County Democratic Committee announced it will have a candidate forum at 10 a.m. on Feb. 7 and all the candidates or representatives will attend. It will be held at the Madison Presbyterian Church on Route 29 at Fishback Road. Frank Dixon a spokesman for the event said that Madison County had conducted a telephone survey to identify the 250 or so Democrats. Linda Dietel, vice chairman of the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee, said that interest in the primary was brisk and they "expected a good turnout." She said that the Democrats were presenting a "Move On" compact disk show at The Theatre in Washington on Sunday, Feb. 8 at 2 p.m., to which Democrats and independent voters throughout the area were invited. The CD - on President Bush’s Iraq policy, would be the opening point for discussions (and refreshments). In the primary, she said, the Democrats believe that many independents will come out and vote. Bland said that identifying the party’s core constituency is crucial in Virginia where voters do not register by party. The party uses a program called “Prevail” to build a database on Democratic voters and identify others who may be persuaded to back Democratic issues. In the last election for attorney general and lieutenant governor, some 168,000 Democrats came to the polls and she expects that number or more will vote in the primary.

Sperryville man charged in accident on Route 231 By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer Virginia State Police have charged Timothy A. Coravos, 28, of Sperryville with reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and refusing to take a breath test after the 1993 Subaru 4-door sedan he was driving went out of control last Tuesday on Route>231 and ended up abandoned in the opposite lane. Trooper Don Corbin said in an interview later the man tried to slash his wrists. Corbin said that according to witnesses, after the accident Coravos walked to a convenience store in nearby F.T. Valley and flagged down a passing car for a ride. The driver of the car took Coravos back to the abandoned car, Corbin said, where the man retrieved something. The officer said he could not identify what Coravos took out of the car. The motorist then drove him south along Route 231 for two miles and dropped him off. Later, Corbin said, he received a call from the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office that it had a possible suicide. Corbin said police located a man identified as Coravos after 40 minutes in a wooded area. He had slashed his wrists and was bleeding. Coravos was given medical attention and after a meeting With county mental health authorities was detained for mental observation. He was released on Saturday.

Porter had 25 points and six rebounds; Boelte had eight points and seven rebounds. Chase Tupper added seven points and Jenkins added five points, five assists and three rebounds.

But Rapp only allowed Madison to score three points while Rapp scored 11, with Travis Jenkins hitting on three shots from the inside and hitting two foul shots to account for eight of Rapp’s points.

Settle did their job upfront at the guards’ position controlling the game for their teammates. Hanberry hit a big three in the final minutes, and Dean Hogan hit a foul shot in the final minutes to seal the victory for the Panther team, 42-32.

Monday-Friday Member, Audit Bureau of Circulations www.TimesCommunity.com Our View Support DARE Republican Senator Mark Obenshain is to be commended for introducing a bill that would let Virginia judges stiffen the sentence of traffickers in large amounts of methamphetamine. State lawmen have been taking their cases to federal court to get tougher sentences which ties them up in travel and briefing time. This will smooth the way to better enforcement. The senator represents the counties of the upper Shenandoah Valley as well as Rappahannock County and he is correct that the Shenandoah area has become crossroads central for meth. Rappahannock law enforcement officers report that they haven’t had a methamphetamine drug arrest in Rappahannock County in recent years, but that is cold comfort in these times. While Sen. Obenshain is in Richmond taking on the drug epidemic, we hope he’ll take a look at the DARE program. Rappahannock County Sheriff Capt. Jeff Brown tells us that despite the success of this program in our schools over more than a decade, budget cuts in Richmond have limited what the Virginia State Police can do to support this program. DARE is a national education program “Drug Abuse Resistance Education,” which Brown says tries to get students to make better choices. “Kids don’t need drugs or alcohol in school,” he argues, “but you have to show them how to make better choices than drugs.” Brown likes the program because it puts law enforcement officers in the classroom and gives the students a chance to see a policeman without “the blue light flashing and ‘give me your license and registration.”’ At the end of the last legislative session, he said, Virginia State Police were under enormous pressure to cut their budget. Among the cuts were several officers assigned to support DARE around the state. Brown said only one officer is still assigned statewide, but the state police coordinate some 125 programs statewide, arrange training programs and monitor the quality of the teaching. Brown thinks the legislators should persuade the state police to restore the funding. We agree. KEYHOLE Jean Sorensen “Actually it’s an ice scraper.

Rappahannock Today Rappahannock News Photo/Richard Lykes A swing, snow-covered table and gazebo overlooking a frozen pond helped create this magical winter landscape in Rappahannock County on a hillside near Fogg Mountain earlier this week. Letters ‘Sour grapes’ in the Rappahannock News I am writing this in response to the Jan. 15 article in the Rappahannock News, “County’s 911 emergency dispatch system under fire” and the charges leveled against Sheriff Larry Sherertz and his department by Amissville Fire Department Chief J.B. Carter and President Jack Atkins both of whom have zero law enforcement training. We in the county must remember that the Sheriff’s deputies are human and will make mistakes. I am sure, though it tries its hardest, even the Amissville Fire Department has made a mistake or two. Something must be said about the thousands of calls that are dispatched and handled correctly by the Sheriff’s Office. I am a 15-year veteran of a federal law enforcement agency and have lived in Rappahannock County for 30 years. Neither my family nor I have ever been the victim of a crime, though our home did burn to the ground long before Sheriff Sherertz took office. (We live less than a mile from the Amissville Fire Station.) I think the Sheriff’s Office is doing and has done an outstanding job especially with the limited resources he has been given to work with. Our deputies are some of the lowest paid and hardest worked in the state of Virginia. Yet they remain professional, courteous and dedicated. I find it amusingly obvious the motivation behind Mr. Carter’s and Mr. Atkins’ allegations and the Rappahannock News’ choice to run them front page. The Amissville Fire Department and Rappahannock News heavily backed and endorsed a candidate that unsuccessfully ran against Sheriff Sherertz in November. Mr. Atkins ran unsuccessfully for supervisor. I wonder if the same letter would have been written or the same story published if the elections would have yielded different results? It’s ironic that in such a wonderful county where some folks are making beautiful wine and growing the sweetest grapes we only have to look in the local paper for a few sour ones. Mark Raiford Amissville The passing of Ethel Phillips of Amissville It has been almost 40 years since my wife and I became summer residents of Viewtown and soon after our arrival we had the good fortune to meet another summer resident, Ethel Phillips of Amissville. Ethel had moved to Hartford, Conn, as a young lady but always returned to the family farm in Amissville for the summers. On Dec. 2, Ethel died at the age of 107. Miss Ethel Leola Phillips was bom Oct 4, 1896 to James Franklin and Lydia Pickett Phillips in Amissville. Since there were no schools for blacks in Rappahannock County in the 19th century, she and her four siblings were educated in their mother’s homeschool. Her mother, a first cousin to Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, had attended the old Storer College in Harpers Ferry, W.Va. Ethel’s burial in the family cemetery was a poignant occasion for my wife and me. We and the presiding minister, Rev. Ray Jackson, were the only guests present to say goodbye on that cold December day. As I looked across the snow-covered pasture on that somber occasion, only the out buildings of the old farmhouse stood as reminders of happier days when family and friends gathered to enjoy conversation and country dinners. Ethel Phillip’s life spanned three centuries and was one of Rappahannock’s oldest natives. Her passing marks the end of the James and Lydia Phillips family in Amissville. My wife and I were blessed to enjoy her friendship. Bill Parrish Viewtown Band Boosters thank everyone for donations The Rappahannock County Public Schools’ Winter Band Concert was held on Dec. 10.

Rappahannock County Band Boosters Good for winter mornings: Chairman Mao’s oatmeal Mao Zedong, leader of China for a good part of the 20th century, liked American oatmeal prepared a certain way. I learned this from a took, “The Long March” by Harrison Salisbury, a noted journalist for The New York Times. The Long March was Mao’s famous 6,000-mile trek with his peasant army in 1934-35 from central China to northwest China, edging the mountains of Tibet to escape the armies of Chiang Kaishek. Defections and death took their toll. Some 86,000 started; about 4,000 finished. Salisbury retraced the route in 1987, interviewed survivors, and wrote his book. Mao’s favorite breakfast is described in an asterisked footnote on page 83. Salisbury says, “Mao’s eating habits were curious. His favorite breakfast—when he could get it—was American oatmeal with condensed milk, two perms Vypatpn lin in thn nnt THE FORUM . Don Audette meal.” I’ve tried Chairman Mao’s oatmeal. I’ve made about half a dozen six-serving batches over the past few months, and, as they say, “the proof of the pudding is in the tasting.” The proof of Mao’s oatmeal shows that it is surprisingly tasty, a little on the heavy side, but tasty. Since it takes time to prepare, make a sixserving batch while you’re at it. First, buy a large-size Old Fashioned Quaker Oats, the one with a Quaker with a big hat on the label. It comes in a round container and has been on the market since 1901. It is likely the brand used by PVioirmnn I asked the Quaker Oats people via e-mail why they used a round container, when almost all other cereal comes in a box. They thanked me for my “OatMail” and said, “At one time, oats were only available in bulk and were sold out of barrels at the general store. When the Quaker Oats product was first introduced, the cylindrical box was meant to mimic the barrels.” Now you know. You can use eggs, as did Mao, or a non-yolk brand like Eggbeaters, something Mao never heard of. For a six-serving batch of oatmeal, add four beaten eggs plus the oatmeal to boiling water and simmer until everything is thick. Serve it with condensed milk, which comes in a small can and pours very thickly, like a ribbon. Don’t add raisins, banana, nuts or anything else to Mao’s oatmeal. He didn’t. And, believe me, you don’t want to cross Chairman Mao, even if Vip hppn HppH Qincp 197fi I sought to verify this recipe with a well-known scholar on modern China, casually bringing up the subject after an interesting meeting at the Library of Congress on filming revolutionary China. He was unaware of Mao’s favorite oatmeal, but noted that Harrison Salisbury was a meticulous researcher given to extensive interviews, so he felt the recipe was accurate. He continued by commenting that it was unlikely Mao had the oatmeal during the Long March, and that in northwest China, breakfast might have consisted of millet, eggs and pickled vegetables. I tried this variant. I cooked up a six-serving batch of millet, adding four Eggbeaters, and had some of the results with pickled beets and onions from a jar sold at a supermarket. Not good. Maybe it is only good with Chinese pickled vegetables. Best to stick with Mao’s favorite rpcinp

Non-profit groups meet By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Even for a county that is known as the “volunteer capital of Virginia,” an unexpected, standing-room only crowd of some 60 Rappahannock County citizens met at the county library Saturday morning to explore the unmet needs of the county’s many non-profit organizations. A multitude of local nonprofit organizations, including schools and educational groups, fire and rescue organizations, churches, environmental groups, little theater and social services met to discuss the possibility of setting up a Non- Profit Support Center. Among the concerns mentioned were such issues ds staff, space, technology needs, handraising, training, bookkeeping, filling out IRS forms for 501(c)3 organizations, and workshops on how to run such organizations. The organizing group, chaired by Bill Dietel, agreed to meet in one month after the group had time to “ponder” what they learned Saturday to determine if such an organization would be useful to the community. Betsy Rath and Jenny Millan led the discussion of what a Non-profit Support Center could offer local organizations. The Culinary Arts students at Rappahannock County High School provided pastries and other treats for the meeting. Board of Supervisors’ agenda for Feb. 2 These are the highlights of the tentative agenda for the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors’ meeting on Monday, Feb. 2 at the county courthouse on Gay Street in the Town of Washington: 2p.m. meeting About Our Schools, Dr. Robert Chappell Resolution-Manfred, Etta & Hunter Call Fire Levy Bills • 6 Month Call report • Training ledger Old Business • Lighting Ordinance status • Parking Ordinance, Town of Washington • HB 61, Inmates operating motor vehicles New Business • Current Sales-Value Ratio • Route 618 Bridge Closed Session • To discuss personnel under 2.2-3711 A 1; to discuss the acquisition of real property for public purpose under 2.2- 3711 A.3; and to consult with legal counsel regarding specific legal matters under 2.2- 3711A.7 7 p.m. session • Final Site Plan-Mid State Electric Motor Plan From Page A1 expanding Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. First adopted in 1973, the plan must be reviewed every five years under state law. Rappahannock ,has used these reviews to report on growth trends and needs for capital improvement and county land Use regulations. McCarthy said in an interview that this review has taken some 18 months including public forums throughout the county and significant changes have been proposed. He said it could be adopted by September 2004. This month, the commission approved a measure to “explore the creation of rural historic districts,” and to follow up on a survey of historic houses and areas completed last year. If adopted by the Board of Supervisors, the historic districts would give homeowners who improved their property access to some state and federal tax writeoffs. The designations would not effect the local taxes on the property and the owners would enjoy “their full property rights,” said commission member Jennifer Matthews. Matthews, who is the commission member in charge of historic issues, stressed in an interview that the designation “historic dis trict” does not limit the homeowner in any way. “The property owner can take a house and paint it pink,” she said. Matthews said that an Architectural Review Board’s actions in the Town of Washington controlling building materials and appearance caused an uproar and may be confused in people’s minds with the historic districts. “Historic districts are totally different,” she said. She said the county wanted to get the designations “on the books” to help preserve the historic atmosphere of the land and villages in the county. The members also accepted language framed in part by county resident Jim Gannon, which would call for allowing higher density of people in some villages for the elderly. “In view of the county’s increasing demographic shift toward the elderly and the likelihood that this trend will continue and intensify in the years ahead, consideration should be given towards allowing a broader array of housing opportunities. While holding to the principle that residential development at higher densities should be kept in the village areas, some opportunities for higher density, perhaps age-restricted housing seems appropriate for these areas,” the proposed language said.

Headwaters endowment challenge nears completion By William Dietel Special to the Rappahannock News An anonymous foundation has challenged Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation, to raise $60,000 for its endowment fund with a promise of a $30,000 match of one dollar for every two dollars Headwaters raises for endowment by the end of 2005. The grant, known as the Headwaters Endowment Challenge Honoring Werner Krebser, was made to Headwaters at the end of 2002 with a three-year time frame. Dr. Krebser was the chairman of the Headwaters ] Endowment Committee since i its inception in 1997 and was a < generous contributor. ; Prior to the challenge the endowment stood at $58,000. By < the end of December 2003 the i Headwaters Endowment Fund 1 had grown to over $ 122,000 and has already drawn down twothirds of the matching grant i $20,000). Now it is time to complete the challenge in the current year. Rappahannock students prepare for Science Fair By David Naser Special to the Rappahannock News Students at Rappahannock County’s high school and elementary school are putting last minute touches on their boards for this year’s local Science Fair, which is slated for Wednesday, Feb. 11 and Thursday, Feb. 12 in the RCES gym. A program is planned at RCHS on Friday, Feb. 13 to recognize the winners. The judges should have a difficult task with the large number of projects as well as creativity and quality. At the senior division level, the nature of projects depends on the class in which the student is enrolled. For instance, Mrs. Waddell’s 10th grade honors biology class submitted biology projects, while David Naser s 12th grade physics class conducted projects related to physics or engineering. Among the biology projects were some plant studies, including “Death by Flytrap” by Michael Bailey; “The Impact of Different Types of Soil in Radishes” by Rocio Loya; “Let it grow, Let it grow,” a study on organic fertilizers by Kevin Martin; and “Deficiencies and Excesses of Micronutrients in Bean Plants” by Allison Antony. Some biology students studied animals or human subjects. Projects include “Worms, Worms, and More Worms” by Bethany Dodson; “The Effect of Outdoor Household Chemicals on Invertebrate Pond Life” by Luke Wilson and “Phalanges in the Family” by Ashleigh Lamma, a study of fingerprint patterns within families. For the physics entries, some exciting projects are “The Effect of Temperature on the Coefficient of Restitution of Golf balls” by Brian Taylor; “Do Solar Ovens Cook Food More Rapidly than Conventional Ovens?” by Sara Hathaway; “Acceleration of a Twirling Yo-Yo” by David Letsen; “Multiple Surface Resistances” by Brittany Thornhill. Not all of the project titles for the Junior Division were available at press time, but here are some of the exciting Inspiring Tfwngfits by Randy Minter NEW APPROACHES It seems that the Baby Boom generation has changed every tradition that has crossed its path, and funerals are no exception. In addition, a recent influx of immigrants has also made people feel more comfortable with diverse funeral customs. As a result, the funeral industry, which has long been regarded as somewhat staid, is undeigoing quite a transformation. As people increasingly leave behind the traditional ceremonies of their parents and grandparents, they are coming to view funerals more as a means of celebrating a life than mourning a death. In response, funeral directors are taking on more of the responsibilities of event planners, whose role it is to conduct a joyful observance of a life well lived. Celebration is not too strong a word for many when it comes to honoring a loved one who has passed away. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, we believe that funerals are times of mourning and joy for all that we shared with our loved one. We are happy to design services that reflect your family’s values, for a tour, call 347-3431 Bright View Cemetery, just outside Warrenton, offers monuments and memorials for all cemeteries.

The students’ displays will be open to the public on Thursday, Feb. 12 from noon until 7 p.m. at RCES.

Lighting From Page A1 “Gwen and I feel that the lighting ordinance is a vital step in properly managing the development of commercial properties in our county,” Humphrey said at the commission meeting. - Humphrey said that beginning in September, the couple began working on getting the ordinance dislodged. They succeeded in getting the supervisors to place it on the agenda for October 2003. “In the process,” Humphrey said, they discovered that Supervisor Bryant Lee had questions about the 211 Quicke Mart at 12663 Lee Highway. Using the lighting meter, they measured the lighting at the mart which sells gasoline and groceries and provided Lee answers and later gave them to the board. Humphrey said in an interview after the planning commission meeting that his tests were to assist the county and not to criticize the Quicke Mart which was able to use what lighting it wanted under a grandfather clause. He said the lighting under the canopy where the pumps are located had 35-candle foot of power. One candle foot would be enough light to have a romantic dinner, he said, and 10-candle power would be enough to read a newspaper. He said the proposed county ordinance would have allowed a 10-candle power light. After his report, Humphrey said. Supervisor Lee suggested increasing the candle power permitted in the Financial Problems?

Humphrey said that the Quicke Mart’s canopy was “over illuminated." He said over illumination creates a potential hazard to drivers at night. When they enter, it causes their pupils to contract and when they leave for the darkened road, it can take some time for the eye to readjust to the darkness. Supervisor Bob Anderson wanted to know how the lighting at the new offices of the Rappahannock National Bank on Route 211 would compare to requirements of the ordinance. Humphrey said the bank’s area lights had been “down shielded" and were “hardly noticeable from the road.” But under thb bank’s canopy area, the lights had 58foot candle power. “That’s much brighter than it needs,” he said. The bank, like the Quicke Mart, did not have to abide by any limitations because it was “grandfathered,” since the construction predates the ordinance. The couple studied ordinances of other counties to assist Supervisor Ron Frazier in allaying his concerns about the wording of the new ordinance. Discovering that' Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke had questions about the degree of “down shielding” for lights, the couple obtained the Engineering Society of North America’s handbook and “proposed wording changes to address his concerns.” Humphrey reported that he read the entire 800 pages of the manual and wrote “a 15page summary as it relates to the questions of regulating outdoor lighting.” He said they also compared the lighting ordinances of Fairfax, Fauquier, Albermarle and Warren Counties. “By this time we had become experts on the subject matter of the lighting ordinance,” Humphrey said. They provided County Administrator John McCarthy, Luke and the supervisors with these suggestions. Humphrey said he sat in on a Dec. 15, 2003 meeting on the ordinance in which the Board of Supervisors agreed to delete a phrase that would have limited the ordinance to lighting within 100 feet of the property line ^and this was why it had to be reviewed again by the planning commission. Hays and Humphrey are well known for a farm where they raise llamas. Penalties From Page A1 the 1-81 corridor account for 90 percent of seizures by state task forces. Obenshain said that Virginia’s statutes do not carry the same sentencing guidelines for methamphetamine as cocaine convictions and thus law enforcement agents bring the cases in federal court where the judges can level higher sentences. “There is a major loss of time every time they do that. Law enforcement officers have to go down to Charlottesville for court time and to brief prosecutors,” he said, so the statute he is offering will bring the state sentences in line. Obenshain’s bill, which he recently introduced in the General Assembly, would allow judges to use the “discretionary guidelines applicable to cocaine.” At present a first conviction for methamphetamine can bring a 5 to 40 year sentence, but the amount of drug involved is not considered by the judge. Under Obenshain’s bill, it would be. Obenshain is also proposing a bill to make it easier for prosecutors to charge parents with “abuse and neglect” if they manufacture methamphetamine in a home with children.

OLDS • BUICK PONTIAC* GMC 66, had become a transfer point to move drugs to Washington and Baltimore. Last June task forces made up of Drug Enforcement Agents, state police, sheriffs’ investigators and Immigration and Naturalization agents made arrests of seven suspects in Harrisonburg, netting meth valued at $400,000 to $800,000. News reports said that between January and June of 2003, some 22 pounds of methamphetamine had been seized. An abuser of meth might use an eighth of an ounce per purchase. What makes methamphetamine so deadly is the ease with which it is made. “The ingredients,” Virginia State Police Special Agent Frank Herrman said in an interview, “can be bought in any farm store or Wal-Mart.” Nicknamed “crank” or “crystal” or “la glass,” methamphetamine gives the user an immediate rush of euphoria. The Koch Crime Institute, a private study group in Kansas, said “methamphetamine is generally cheaper than cocaine and— because the body metabolizes it more slowly—it is much longer lasting.” As a result it is known as the “poor man’s cocaine.” But, for the meth addict, the results are catastrophic often including paranoia, high blood pressure, seizures and nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Capt. Jeff Brown of the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office, who heads the DARE anti-drug program, said in an interview there have been no arrests in Rappahannock for methamphetamine but that does not mean that “it isn’t here.” Herrman, a member of the Blue Ridge Drug Task Force, said that marijuana, cocaine and heroin are the main dangers in the counties east of the Shenandoah, but that there have been methamphetamine lab discoveries there. Part of the problem of enforcement is “taking down the labs . . . the materials are very explosive, a single spark can set them off.” He said that meth had first been associated with biker gangs on the West Coast and later became the “drug of choice” of many migrant farm workers who work in California and Washington state and the Virginia apple industry. It was the migrant worker market that probably brought the drug to Virginia, the DEA said in an intelligence report, but now it is manufactured here for sale all over the region and the clientele comes from all ethnic groups and walks of life.

Smith was jailed on Jan. 15 and Judge Foley ordered his incarceration continued without bail while he sought to locate a lawyer. The state will provide a lawyer if Smith can’t afford one, Foley told the man. There was no plea at this hearing. Sherertz declined to provide any details about thg_idctim under Virginia's privacy laws. The (fact that the charges are felonies indicated that the victim was under 14.

Epicurious Cow: a mecca for gourmet buffs Rappahannock News Staff Photos, Mark F Sypher FULL LARDER: Epicurious Cow in Amissville stocks a full range of organically grown fruits and vegetables and has coolers filled with organically produced meat. By George Rowand Rappahannock News Staff Writer Curious about those little stickers you’ve seen with the initials “ECOW” on them? No, it’s not some trendy new beach resort. It’s a tongue-in-cheek reference to Epicurious Cow, a gourmet food shop in Amissville. Shop owners Terri Lehman and John Oravec both have long histories working with food. “I was the buyer for Sutton Place Gourmet for 12 years,” Lehman said. “I’ve worked at a lot of D.C. restaurants, and I spent three years at Sutton Place,” Oravec added. The store, which sits on the edge of a cattle farm, used to be a combination gas station and country store. Now it reflects their interests. The place is stocked with organic food of all kinds as well as wines, sauces, and meats that shoppers don’t encounter that often. “We do organic from April through November,” Lehman said. “We sell organic food when the organic food is in season.” There are packages of bacon made from duck, cheeses from all over the world, and organic meats to fill any larder. It’s apparent that the partners love what they do. “We’re so passionate about food,” Lehman said. “And we were working at Sutton Place, commuting hours a day from out here, and finally we said, “Why don’t we do this for ourselves?’ “And this is the perfect spot— we’re in the middle of a 3,000-acre cow field,” she added with a laugh. The store, which has been open for two-and-one-half years, has become a mecca for those wanting distinctive produce and items that aren’t available elsewhere. “We’ve gotten very well-established,” Lehman said. “Some people use us as a French market. They come in every day to get their food. We’ve got an incredible selection of cheeses, wines, fruit, vegetables and natural meats.” She started pulling items off the shelves and out of the coolers to demonstrate what Epicurious Cow has to offer. She plucked out a piece of Angus steak, organically produced, that was as soft as butter. “And we have duck breast, duck bacon, buffalo burgers, wild salmon in season,” she said. Then she explained that, while it might seem like the store’s in the middle of nowhere, that’s just an illusion. “We’re six miles from the Inn at Little Washington, so we’re in the middle of a very ‘food’ area,” she said. “We don’t get many people coming out from the city, unless it’s while the leaves are turning, but we do get a lot of traffic.” Dinner’s ready Oravec prepares lunches Wednesday through Sunday, featuring such items as burritos, wraps and quesadillas. But these aren’t your mamacita’s burritos, wraps and quesadillas. You can get wraps with grilled Jamaican jerk swordfish or organic Clare Island salmon. Burritos can come with Niman Ranch natural pork tenderloin, Bell and Evans Chicken, and Han’s Chicken sausage. Quesadillas might be filled with Edward’s country ham, pepperoni and mozzarella, or Italian sausage and tomatoes. That’s just one menu, and the menu changes frequently. Last Friday Oravec was stirring a pot of roasted red pepper soup while being interviewed. “We change the menu every day,” he said. “It just depends on what we have in here. Everything is fresh every day. If I want to use something, I use it.” Epicurious Cow also does catering—“We did, what, a dozen turkey dinners for Thanksgiving?” Oravec said—and will prepare dinner for customers. Jazz returns to the Theatre By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News Among the great jazz guitarists who play at The Theatre at Washington, none is more popular than Jimmy Bruno. He returns for his sixth concert at The Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 7, to be joined for the first time here by pianist Mark Kramer. Bruno and Kramer are set to perform at 8 p.m. at The Theatre on Gay Street. Kramer says of himself: “I’ve always been a working musician in and around Philadelphia; a violinist from birth I started playing piano in the late 60s, a time of tremendous turmoil, social upheaval and creativity.” He works extensively with the Mark Kramer Trio but in recent times has performed on a number of occasions with fellow Philadelphian Jimmy Bruno and together they have been said to discover a “radical duo sound.” Bruno has several recordings on the Concord Jazz label, and Kramer may be heard on Telarc Records and other labels. The concert is already well subscribed and reservations are recommended. To make one, or to obtain a copy of the Theatre’s new schedule, phone (540) 675-1253 or e-mail TheatreVA@aol.com. Birds of Rappahannock For bird watchers: A new column By Bruce Jones Special to the Rappahannock News Greetings all you bird watchers and “bird feeders” of Rappahannock. The Rappahannock News is planning to run a monthly column on “Birds of Rappahannock.” We would like to know what birds you have seen, where you saw them, and if any of the birds seen were of special interest. For example Bald Eagle seen by (name of resident) near Rock Mills; American Kestrel (Sparrow Hawk) seen in median near Attic Treasures. We will also note the start of spring and fail migrations of such birds as the Hummingbird, Oriole and Tanager and insert information on nesting Bluebirds. Please send to: Bruce Jones, email (preferable) bsjonz@earthlink.net or phone 675-3152 with information on the birds that you identify here in our county. We will tabulate monthly. Tb begin the tally, I will do the first one: Female finch American Goldfinch—colors drab now; seen at feeder. Small business workshops to be held On the third Wednesday of each month, the Partnership for Warrenton and the Lord Fairfax Small Business Development Center host a morning workshop specifically for local retailers. Come and talk with experts who understand what you do and can help with the business side of your business. The workshops are at the BB&T Board Room, 21 Main Street in Warrenton and are from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. The cost is $15 per workshop. Seating is limited and registration is required. On Feb. 18, there will be a workshop on “Negotiating Your Lease.” Key to a retailer's business plan is location. The better the location, the higher the stakes. On March 17, there will be a workshop on “Human Resource Issues for Retailers.” Understand your legal responsibilities as you build your staff, and learn the “do’s and don’t’s” of hiring new employees. FOOD BACKGROUND: Terri Lehman had worked as a buyer in the food industry for years before deciding to quit commuting and open a store of her own. HBRHIiUlA I ■ CHANGING MENU: John Oravec, co-owner of Epicurious Cow, said that he changes the lunch menu regularly, depending on the produce that is in the store. “Sometimes well get a call from a customer who’s stuck in traffic on Friday evening, and they’ll say, ‘I can’t get there until 6:30. Can you make me a nice dinner?’And we will ask what they like, and make it,” Lehman said. “Often, they’ll just say, ‘You make whatever you want, I’m sure it will be OK.’ That’s nice that they trust us.” The name “Epicurious Cow” ... now where did that come from? “It’s a play on words,” Lehman said. “Epicurean and curious, and we’re right here with the cows.” The big city’s loss appears to be the country’s gain, judging from the customers streaming in during a slow period of the day. “We got tired of commuting,” Lehman said. “And I know what will work. It’s our business, a business we love. We run it, and we’re always here.” Epicurious Cow is located at 13830 Lee Highway (U.S. 211) near Amissville. The store is open Sunday, Monday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Thursday through Saturday from 1 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Web site is www.epicuriouscow.com and the phone number is (540) 675-2269. ‘The Apple Cart’ ^ Photo courtesy/Wendy Weinberg AT THE THEATRE: Michael Slaby as the King of England, King Magnus, and Sarah Sexton as Queen Jemima appear in a performance of The Apple Cart’, a play by George Bernard Shaw, on Saturday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 1 at 2:30 p.m. at The Theatre on Gay Street in Washington. ■

You know the old saying, you can always see someone you know no matter where you go. Well upon arrival at the ice skating rink she met Kara Corbin and Allison Antony from Rappahannock. Fern was had by all. Happy Birthday goes to Brittany Lee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bryant Lee and granddaughter of Mrs. Loretta Lee. Flint Hill United Methodist Church on Sunday Feb. 8 will present music, songs and message with Evangelist, David Clanagan. Everyone come and enjoy some really great music. My thought for the day; If you seek wisdom over opportunity, opportunity will usually follow. Well I had two emails with news about Flint Hill last week. Let’s go for at least four this week. I need you to email me at wrwje@earthlink.net or call with information for this column.

Perhaps that is true or perhaps we listen in different ways: tele-conferences instead of visits, cell phones instead of meals, and MP3 players instead of concerts. In any case, we can always listen more, especially to age-old wisdom, to worthwhile social mores, and to solid spiritual principles. Proverbs 4:13 instructs, “Take fast hold of instruction, let her not go; keep her, for she is thy life.” This is a strong; verse, one worth reading again. If “she (instruction) is thy life'’, we must choose carefully those to whom we listen. Many of us assume that we already have the answers. However, benjamin Franklin had this to say: “Leam of the skillful; he that teaches himself, hath a fool for his master." You can find instruction in numerous ways. One sure place to find it is in your local church or synagogue. Won’t you listen and leam about your Heavenly Father as you worship this Sabbath? Let God be your Master.
