know that.” She said “we entrusted her” to prepare this grant proposal.
On Saturday, Jan. 24, some 60 Rappahannock citizens involved in non-profit groups met at the county library to discuss the possibility of setting up a “non -profit support center” and some 58 people agreed it was a good idea, Linda Dietel said.
Bill Dietel said the concept paper had already been sent to Washington and was not the main topic of the meeting. He thought chances were very slim that it would win government support and thought funding would likely be more like $50,000 and raised through donations. He said there was no controversy about the center, but some people asked sharp questions.
Ron Frazier attended that meeting.
At the supervisors’ meeting Monday he told the board that the “focus of the meeting concerned the grant proposal submitted by our very own grant writer and Headwaters for federal funds for this Center.” Frazier said that after the meeting, someone provided him with a copy of the proposal.
Frazier argued that someone “relying on our grant writer’s ignorance of local politics and circumstances” used her and “she would not know she was being used.”
Others in Rappahannock agreed with him. Joy Sloane said in an interview that she believed somebody had “set up” Silver “and encouraged her to do something they should have known would be damaging to her career. Somebody who was helping her did not have her interest at heart.”
Gwen Hays, too, felt that Silver was left on her own: “Someone should have helped Amy to get less critical words in the document . . . .”
