But if tiie current wastewater treatment issue is resolved, the development proposed for the 1,754-acre tract at Clevengers Comer would bring 766 new homes and 389,000 square feet of retail, commercial and office space to the area. All just three miles from the CulpeperRappahannock county line. The public hearing scheduled to take place at Culpeper Middle School on Tuesday, April 6 at 7 p.m. will go forward, but Culpeper County officials have already notified the applicant, Centex Homes, that the proposed wastewater treatment facility is unacceptable. “It’s not a proven technology,” said Paul Howard, Culpeper’s environmental services director, referring to the proposed treatment facility. “We want a conventional treatment plant.” How to serve the development with water and sewer is up in the air, now that the Culpeper has rejected the proposed wastewater treatment plant. The proposed treatment plant, which would process an estimated 600,000 gallons per day, has never been used in the region, giving See CORNER, Page A8 Right next door Culpeper County is considering a 766-unit mixed-use development near the border. jSource: Bowman ConsultinQ/Cutpeper County Times-Democrat Graphic/Damie Malone Meetings • On April 1 at 7:30 p.m., the Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority will meet at the Courthouse on Gay Street. • On April 5, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will meet at 2 p.m. at the Courthouse.

Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer In the 19th Century, the farmers of Rappahannock County brought wool on wagons to the Laurel Mill —. named for wild laurel flowers in this valley —^t.o be woven into wool par ts. Daniel Hitt, who now owns what remains of the structure, believes that the mill owners redirected the Thornton River through the plant to wash the wool. The owner, the manager and the people who worked at the mill lived nearby in houses on both sides of the river, he said. Hitt and others believe that in the 19th century and early 20th century, this part of Rappahannock County was more economically lively than tne northern end. After a hard day, workers might get a cold drink in the basement saloon of the Laurel Mills store, kept cool by a concrete trough carrying cold spring w i‘ • igravity flow through the room, according to Mary Margaret Fannon, who now owns tire store. There were dances held in a building near the store, and Hitt claims “this place was rocking and rolling in the 1920s.” History hid this cameo of economic life for a century or more. An early mill burned down in 1900, said See HISTORIC, Page A8 AT LAUREL MILLS: Mrs. Mary Margaret Fannon shows the old Laurel Mills wool plant, which is part of a historical study that could make Laurel Mills an Historic District in Rappahannock County.

Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals granted a variance to Rappahannock Lakes landowners after County Attorney Peter Luke advised them that the county had imposed a hardship on the couple by changing the setback requirements. The variance will allow Steven and Melissa Loving of Marshall to build a home on a 0.3706 acre lot in Rappahannock Lakes, a one-time summer cottage community. Building of year-around housing has turned it into one of two “subdivisions” in Rappahannock. The property is on Lot 11, Section 2 on Pine Drive in Amissville. The BZA voted in February to hold action on the application of the Lovings to obtain Luke’s advice, and to give the young couple a chance to see if they could recast their application to reduce the size of the variance they needed. The Lovings testified under oath that they paid $40,000 for a 90 foot by 197 foot lot, not knowing that a change in zoning regulations made the lot too small for the 40 by 27 foot home they planned to build. They said the owner did not appear to know about changes in the regulations, and that the real estate broker they used did not warn them of the requirement. Luke said in a letter to the BZA that “it is clear from these cases (he studied) that the applicants here would suffer a ‘hardship’ unless the variance is granted. It is also clear on the facts of this case, the hardship should not be considered to be selfimposed.” He pointed out that the Lovings “were not aware of the setback problem at the time they purchased the property.” Luke said “the hardship here, the inability to construct a residence on property zone for that use, cannot be said to be self inflicted; it was created when the County changed its setback requirements after having initially approved the lot for residential use in the early 1960s. “Therefore, it is the County’s change of its setback requirements which created the hardship and not an act of the applicants.” According to County Administrator John W. McCarthy, Rappahannock Lakes was originally laid out in the 1950s as a summer community for camping and the building of summer cottages on about 35 sites. It is one of two such developments in Rappahannock County, another being near Chester Gap off Route 610. The owner of the lot would have had enough room to build on the lot under zoning rules in force until 1986, when Rappahannock County See VARIANCE, Page A8 Emergency services seeking volunteers By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer As Rappahannock County changes and its citizens age, the seven fire-fighting companies have launched — for the first time — a county-wide recruitment effort to find new ways to attract and hold volunteers. Jack Atkins, president of the Rappahannock County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association, said that of the some 200 volunteers in the county only 75 actually report for fire and rescue calls. The aging of the county population, jobs outside the county and the growing opportunities for youngsters are all threatening the volunteer system, he said. Atkins said the association formed a team to study recruitment issues and report to County Administrator John McCarthy and the Board of Supervisors later in April. It will be discussing its plans at the April 16 fire association meeting. The recruitment ideas include a real estate tax break for active firefighters and rescue squad members, a county funded retirement system and perhaps financial payment for making rescue and fire runs. The Flint Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue squad is experimenting with what its president Monica Worth calls “response reimbursement,” payments for completing calls. Worth who is a member of the associations study committee said “many volunteers spend hundreds of hours a year in the fire and rescue work and you have to tell people we recognize what a commitment this is.” But Atkins said with 400 calls a year, Amissville simply cannot afford significant call payments. Ann Spieker, who heads Washington’s Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad, is well known for recruiting and retaining volunteers. She says, “You have to give volunteers something to do. Everybody gets to do something. They have to make calls, to feel like their doing something important.” Spieker said her company has some 20 people out of 35 who make calls regularly, and “We’ve got a lot on calls even coming out in the middle of the night.” She said the young volunteers are the best recruiters, and bring in others. “Times have changed a lot,” Atkins argues.

People Helping tiie needy people in Rappahannock and the world ► Second in a series ’ By Kaye Kohler Special to the Rappahannock News Volunteerism is alive and well in Rappahannock County. The Washington Baptist Church’s Men’s Brotherhood program has been active for over 20 years providing service to the community and the world. Under the direction of Bill Welch for much of that time, these men and boys have built an outhouse for a needy family who had no running water, restored a porch for a handicapped person, and placed plastic over windows of homes without insulated glass. They have helped provide transportation for people who needed that help and donated financial support for many in crisis. They also have traveled to Lake Sunappe, N. H. to help a fellow Baptist church move out of a trailer into a building of its own. They have helped the Conemaugh Valley Baptist Association in Philipsburg, Pa., renovate a donated Jewish synagogue into a Christian worship center.

Schools may fare well with state funding By Nicholas M. Horrock ' Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock School Board will deliver a $10,388,841 budget request to the Board of Supervisors Thursday, still unable to render final revenue estimates because of the state budget battle in Richmond. Superintendent Robert Chappell told the members of the School Board last week that his analysis of the competing budget proposals in Richmond found Rappahannock fared well under any of them. Nevertheless, if the historic stalemate between the Republican majorities in the Senate and the House of Delegates continues, counties across the state could find themselves in a quandary, since everything from police pay to school programs rely in part on state contributions. Chappell told the School Board last week that Rappahannock estimated a $2,861,197 contribution under Gov. Mark Warner’s budget proposal, and $2,925,239 under the House of Delegates proposal. He said an even higher amount — $3,145,099 — would be available if the Senate’s plan was adopted. Chappell warned the board that these figures can change radically in the final budget bill. If state contributions do not come up to expectations, the counties could have to increase taxes to meet costs. But Chappell said that if Rappahannock Schools received more from the state than anticipated, he would recommend BREEDEN’S PUNT HOUSE Now Open 1 Hours: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pansies, House Plants, Hanging Baskets, Planting Supplies, Dish Gardens, and Funeral/Cemetary Arrangements Make sure to visit our shop featuring silk arrangements and gifts.

The budget calls for $6,820,167 from the county, some $447,467.40 higher than its 2003-2004 share. Nevertheless, Chappell has said, it is half the nearly $950,000 increase sought by the schools in 2003-2004. As April begins, the legislature’s failure to adopt a state budget has brought criticism from Wall Street and increases the chance that the government would have to shut down on June 30. Some Republicans want a state-wide referendum in June to hand the decision to the voters, but others see this following California’s rocky path to paralyzed state government. The board formally adopted its budget last Tuesday after a public hearing marked by strong public support and few questions. It voted two days ahead of schedule. The budget request is $42,620 higher than the superintendent’s estimate in February, due in part to a request for a music teacher position budgeted at $47,614 per year. Chappell is calling for a 3.5 percent increase in the base salary for the school system’s 167 employees, and a 1.5 percent longevity step raise. The additional cost would be $312,000. The rising cost of health care has prompted Chappell to ask for a 1.5 percent increase in the budget simply to maintain current employer contribution levels. He estimated the cost at $140,000. Among the $92,000 of additional “instructional enhancements,” Chappell is seeking money to provide a high school choir, jazz band, and Spanish or Latin language training. He wants a summer reading pilot program at both the elementary and high school level, and a high school course on satellite ground positioning which has become one of the most valuable military and civilian developments of the last decade. Chappell is also seeking expanded sections of an emergency medical training program that has a $5,000 grant from Rappahannock fire departments and is designed to help recruiting for the fire and rescue services and to provide youngsters with a valuable skill for future employment. He also has called for a 5 percent increase in purchasing school materials, and for an increase to adopt new Science textbooks and on-line course textbooks. Nicholas M.

Horrock Rappahanncjck News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office is investigating the report of a 10-yearold Washington boy that a man came to his home Friday and tried to lure him into a truck. According to Sheriff Larry Sherertz, the boy was at home alone on Piedmont Avenue in Washington last Friday after getting home from school when a man came to the house and said “You’re supposed td come with me” The boy became frightened, ran out the back of the house and rode his bicycle to a neighbors house where they called the boy’s mother. The boy said the man had shoulder length, curly brown hair, was 6 foot 3 inches tall, in his mid-30s wearing a blue short sleeve shirt with black stains and blue jeans. The boy said the man was driving a dark green, newlooking truck with a 4x4 marking on the back. “This kind of report causes me great concern, “ Sherertz said, “it sounds like an abduction attempt.” The sheriff said it was not yet known where the boy’s father is, or whether the boy recognized the man who came to the door.

What they are talking about is the massive development proposed for rural, still-isolated Clevengers Corner, which in effect would drop a large population center on the countryside, far from anything else, like services. What has kept the 766-home, 389,000 square feet of commercial enterprise from happening so far is that wastewater (sewage) treatment, that great leveler of ambitious projects in the wrong place, continues to be a problem. Maybe requiring that we not be allowed to foul our own nests will be the project’s final undoing. With the Rappahannock River so close, county offi- . cials and planners have every right to be concerned about sewage, especially a lot of it. Relying on an experimental wastewater treatment plant in an area so environmentally sensitive is risky — no, it’s idiotic. Running a close second is the congestion that nearly 8,000 more vehicle trips a day will cause. The intersection of U.S. 211 and Warrenton’s Broadview Avenue is already overloaded, to say nothing of the bypass itself. ' Because of Fauquier’s embattled Comprehensive Plan and Rappahannock’s 25-acre zoning, the massive development pushing out from Northern Virginia has been channeled into northern Culpeper. Should this region be the next place to suffer suburban sprawl? We think not, but what happens next is up to the Culpeper supervisors. Letters to the editor The Rappahannock News welcomes Letters to the Editor from its readers as a forum for discussion of local public affairs subjects. WRITE: Letters to the Editor, P.O. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747 EMAIL: makuhn@timespapers.com Work Zone Awareness Week is April 4-10 I am a Safety Engineer for the Virginia Department of Transportation. Over the years, I have served in several safety-related positions. I have been a state trooper, a safety engineer, and an emergency response team member with the Federal Highway Administration, and I have seen many serious incidents involving citizens and highway workers. In my capacity with VDOT, I am immediately called to any job site at which there has been an incident. I assess the incident in an effort to determine what occurred and what we, VDOT, could do to prevent a reoccurrence. Some incidents may be simple “fender benders,” but I know the potential is always there for multiple fatalities. During National Work Zone Awareness Week, April 4-10, and throughout the year, I encourage you to use caution in highway work zones. Last year in Virginia, crashes in highway work zones killed 15 people, most of them motorists. There are some basic tips for driving safely in work zones: • Expect the unexpected. • Slow down. • Don’t tailgate. Keep a safe distance between you and the car ahead of you. • Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and construction workers and their equipment. • Pay attention to the signs. • Obey road crew flaggers. • Stay alert and minimize distractions. • Keep up with the traffic flow. • Schedule enough time to drive safely. Before you get on the road, check radio, television and Websites for traffic information. (VDOT’s Web site is www.VirginiaDOT.org) • Be patient and stay calm. I hope I don’t meet you in one of our work zones. David J. (Jim) Ford Virginia Department of Transportation : Representation lacking Jumpin’ Jupiter!

Letters ‘We should be the very best we can be, every day’ I am Dylan and Nathan Corbin’s grandmother. After reading the supposedly educated comments that have appeared in the Rappahannock News letters to the editor, I feel that I must write to put the record straight. Don and Diana Corbin have been strong and nurturing parents. For many years, their five children have been active in 4-H and many other youth activities. Nathan has excelled in soccer and has been extremely active in developing his talents in culinary arts. Dylan has excelled in sports-baseball, football and to a lesser extent basketball. As far as socializing is concerned they didn’t party or play the field, they patiently waited until they found the right girlfriends, and they have spent as much time as they could talking to them on the phone or being with them. A friend asked Nathan to go to this party, and he wanted to go. Dylan and Nathan were very close and Dylan wanted to go with him. Don and Diana were strongly against it. Over several days there was a lot of begging and promises made, etc. Finally, at the last minute they were reluctantly given permission to go. Dylan was especially delighted. This would be a new experience for him and he would be able to go with Nathan. It turned out that the girl who had the party was having it when her mother was out of town, and beer, etc. were brought in. This was when Dylan and Nathan should have departed, but they didn’t. Nathan wasn’t too impaired because he drove safely down the very hilly and winding Castleton Road. When he was on a straight away on Route 522, he dozed off and went off the road at the most dangerous spot along the way. Other places he could have gone off in a field unhurt. There are many mysteries in this world, but one thing we have learned is that life is short and we should be the best we can be, every day for the rest of our lives, make every day count for good. Dylan and Nathan are fine young men and I am proud to be called their grandmother. Dylan is still alive, in Heaven and in our hearts. Elinor Perez Slate Mills Road Rescue workers are praised for skill, compassion I wish to express my appreciation to the Washington Fire & Rescue for the high level of professional emergency services I received on the morning of March 5. As I was completing traffic control at the elementary school, I experienced a disabling abdominal pain. Rescue was called, and quickly responded to the school. I was very fortunate that the rescue personnel were available, and used their training and experience to make the right decisions. Most notably was their decision not to administer pain medications when my blood pressure had dropped to 90 over 62. I later learned that pain medications could have caused cardiac arrest. I wish to extend my gratitude to Ann Spieker, Russ Collins, John Bankston and Jimmy Deal for their compassion and professionalism. As volunteers, they are often taken for granted. Their personal sacrifices, continuous training mandates, and expectations to respond 24/7, make them very special people. Larry C. Sherertz Sheriff, Rappahannock County Cub Scouts thank their supporters The scouts, parents, and leaders of Cub Scout Pack 123 would like to thank everyone who joined us at the Pancake and Omelet Breakfast fund raiser sponsored by Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church on March 13. Thanks to your support the Pack will be able to provide a top-quality program for our scouts over the next several months. We would also like to thank the many businesses and individuals in the community who provided us with the delicious ingredients for our breakfast including the Culpeper Wal-mart, Warrenton and Culpeper Safeway stores, Warrenton Giant, Sperryville Corner Store, F. T. Valley Grocery, Shenandoah’s Pride Dairy, Boston Store, Burger’s and Things, Patricia Jenkins, Martha Kidwell, Kim Love and Ken Estes. A special thanks goes to the Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company for allowing us to use their kitchen and Fire Hall for this event, and to Jon Heddleston of Reynolds Memorial Church for his support and enthusiasm for Scouting and his excellent pancake making skills.

Cost of the total package amounts to approximately $1,400,000. With the exception of Capital Outlay Committee Chairman Paul Nichols, however, the board members balked at endorsing any of the plans presented by McClintock. Merle Scoggin, Deputy Commissioner of the Revenue, is announcing her intentions this week to seek the office of Commissioner, which will be vacated at the end of this term by Virginia D. Smith. Mrs. Scoggin has been the deputy commissioner for eight years, and says she feels qualified to handle the position with all this experience. She fives at Washington with her husband Harold. They have one son, Bill, who is a student at Virginia Ttech. On Saturday, April 7, the fourth running of the Old Dominion Point-to-Point at Mr. and Mrs. Thomas L. Eastham’s Ben Venue Farm will take place. The course is located 16 miles west of Warrenton on Route 211. 10 YEARS AGO March 30, 1994 At an orchard meeting, sponsored by the Rappahannock County Extension Service at Mountain Green Farm outside Washington last Tuesday, Ross Byers, a professor of horticulture with the Virginia Ttech fruit research center in Winchester, assessed the damage to Alex Sharp’s nectarine crop, and found that only two to three percent of the buds are alive. This is due to the extreme cold this past winter. Eight Girl Scouts were presented with their Silver Awards in a ceremony at the elementary school today. For most of them this was the culmination of three years work. Sally Havstad, Lelo Wolfe, Nina Norman and Cindy Andreoni worked with the girls for the past four years helping them achieve the Silver Award. Now four of the girls, Holly GangeL, Kylene Wolfe, Fran Overdorf and Dawn Havstad embarked on the project of earning the Girl Scout Gold Award. At last Thursday’s meeting the Library Board had to adjust its budget for the coming year because the General Assembly appropriated $1,753 less for the library than the board thought the county would get when the budget was adopted. The board adopted “in principle” a landscape design prepared by Warrenton landscape architect Meade Palmer for the entrance. Member Mary Jamieson presented a drawing showing how the entrance would look and members were very enthusiastic, but concerned about the cost. — COMPLIED BY NICHOLAS M. HORROCK

Clevenger’s Corner development will impact Rappahannock On April 6, the Culpeper Board of Supervisors will look at, once again, the application by Centex Homes to build 766 homes and 398,000 square feet of retail and office/employment space in the southwest comer of Clevenger’s Comer. Clevenger’s Comer is located at the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 229. It is about three miles east of the Rappahannock County line. The southwest comer is the one that now has a commuter parking lot. This is a pivotal decision for Culpeper County. In a sense, it is the culmination of over 25 years of planning. An approval of the Centex application will bring with it the creation of a water treatment system and a regional wastewater treatment plant. This, in turn, will lead directly to more building within what Culpeper County calls its Village Center Plan for Clevenger’s Comer. The plan covers all four corners — deeply — at Clevenger’s Comer. It will negatively affect Rappahannock County in regard to markedly increased traffic on U.S. 211 at Clevenger’s Comer, and increased developmental pressure, particularly in the Amissville area. Varied effects On the positive side, agricultural-oriented goods and services in Rappahannock County might find an upscale market close by for landscaping services, nursery and truck farm products, day-trip tourism, and the trades: electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc. The visual impact of transitioning from a developed Clevenger’s Comer to the rural open space of Rappahannock County at the boundary fine could be stunning if handled properly. The potential build-out within the water and sewer service area at Clevenger’s Comer will result in a population of 4,416 people. When these 4,416 people are added to the current and expected growth within a two-mile radius of Clevenger’s Comer, which could amount to another 4,650 people, there will be a maximum potential population of 9,066 people right next to Rappahannock County. This surpasses the July 1, 2002 estimated population of Warrenton (7,413) and Luray (4,852) and nears that of the Ibwn of Culpeper (10,138). By comparison, the Ibwn of Washington in Rappahannock County had an estimated population of 177 on July 1, 2002, and 7,206 people for the county as a whole. Village concept How did Clevenger’s Comer come about? The story goes back over a quarter of a centuiy, and it is a cautionary tale for Rappahannock County. In the early 1970s, Culpeper County was increasingly on the radar screen of developers. Decisions had to be made on how to handle growth. Culpeper County’s Comprehensive Plan for 1975 noted the need to preserve the villages in the county, but neighborhood schools lacked modem facilities, and the land could not support their water and sewer needs. The school population was shifted close to the Tbwn of Culpeper, to tap onto their central facilities. With local schools gone, villages started to die and a study was undertaken on how to preserve the economy of these rural areas. The village of Jeffersonton, an historic crossroads southeast of Clevenger’s Comer named after Thomas Jefferson, was the first community selected for study in 1976. Its school had closed in 1971, and people from Northern Virginia were moving in who left early for work, returned late, and shopped elsewhere. Residential developers were eyeing the South Wales area, close by along Route 229, but away from the town of Jeffersonton. By the 1984 Comprehensive Plan, Culpeper had identified a hierarchy of community centers to save, consisting of seven “village centers” and 15 “convenience centers.” A village center usually had some historic identity, fire and rescue, a post office, a general store or two, and a meeting place. A convenience center had much less. Jeffersonton was designated a village center, it had eveiything except fire and rescue. Clevenger’s Comer was called a convenience center; it had nothing but a gas station. News Analysis Don Audette The 1993 update of the Comprehensive Plan saw Jeffersonton quietly retired from the village center list to become something new, a “cultural center.” Clevenger’s Comer was upgraded to a village center because of development planned or underway around the intersection, and the everincreasing traffic at the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 229. It remained a village center with the 1999 update of the Culpeper County Comprehensive Plan. Development plan During the summer of 2001, though, all hell broke loose. The cause? The Culpeper County Planning Department had finally drawn a boundary line around the Clevenger’s Comer “village center.” The village center was to contain 1,483 homes and 4,138 new residents, with 197 acres devoted to commercial development, all on 1,863 acres around the four comers of Clevenger’s Comer. But the real bombshell was Centex Homes and Ken Thompson, the developer of South Wales, proposing a massive development in just the southeast comer of the village center. It contained 2,700 homes, 1.5 million square feet of retail and commercial development on 1,900 acres. The Centex proposal was a blockbuster. After ail, the “Disney America” proposal for the Haymarket area back in 1994 was for 2,500 homes and 2.0 milhon square feet of commercial space. Tysons Comer had 1.9 milhon square feet in its mall. The upshot of all this was that Centex and the Culpeper County Planning Department have worked together over the last three and three-quarter years to whittle things down to what will come up for a vote on April 6. Centex’s rezoning application is for 766 homes, plus eight Habitat for Humanity lots, and 398,000 square feet of retail and office /employment space. Over the last few months, the correspondence between the two parties appears to have become a bit strained, probably from their being cooped up together for so long with different expectations. Loose ends are being tied up, and some may be left dangling, to be worked out later. Important vote April 6 Generally, the citizenry — especially those in the Concerned Culpeper Citizens organization, which has done yeoman work in objective technical analyses on the plan — believe elements of the Centex application need further resolution. But this train has been gathering speed for over 25 years, and apparently nothing is going to stop it, even if its ultimate fiscal and transportation impacts are hazy. Culpeper County has five other “village centers” in the chute: Boston, Brandy Station/E 1 kwood. Mitchells, Richardsville. and Stevensburg. Boston might be next. Centex has shown serious interest in Longlea. which is little over a mile from Rappahannock County along Route 522 going toward the Town of Culpeper. It is already zoned as a planned unit development with 1,000 homes, which could mean 2.680 more people near by. And Rappahannock County? We’ve had our 25-acre minimum lot size since 1986. Our Comprehensive Plan, currently under review, has worked well for decades. And we still have a population hovering around 6,000 - 7,000 people over time.

Red-tail hawk soars high above Rappahannock By Bruce Jones Special to the Rappahannock News The “king” of medium-size hawks, the Red-tail, is common in our area all year, but especially in the winter and early spring when additional migrants are here. This hawk is noted for soaring in a circular motion with very little wing movement. The adult Red-tail can be recognized by the bright red-chestnut on the upper surface of its tail seen when the bird dips and turns. This characteristic coloring shows on the red-tail after one year of maturity. The adult chest/breast color shows various types of white and brown mottling. The Red-tail hawk feeds primarily on rodents, and con trary to myth, it does not “dine on poultry.” When I was growing up in Southern Minnesota many years ago, my Dad would take Birds of Rappahannock me out hunting on Sunday afternoons, and besides shooting gophers and rabbits, we attempted to shoot “chicken hawks,” as farmers were alarmed that these hawks were supposedly killing all the chickens. I am afraid some of these folklore myths still abound. The Red-tail nest is large, made of sticks and twigs, and can be used year after year. Two eggs are normally laid and incubated for 28 days, but this pattern changes with environmental conditions. A Red-tail often pairs for W.C.

The female is larger in size than the male, a normal phenomenon in the hawk family- ilyRed-tails practice “sit-andwait” hunting, usually from a perch. The Red-tail uses its talons and feet for carrying, holding, and killing its prey. The beak, which is fearsome looking, has no part in the killing process. A hawk’s eyesight is approximately eight times sharper than that of a human’s; it can easily spot small animals from a mile away. The other hawk that sometimes can be confused with the Red-tail, is the Redshouldered hawk. This forest-loving hawk is smaller, usually found near creeks and ponds, and hunts primarily reptiles and amphibians. It is a yearround resident here in Rappahannock. If you see a hawk sitting on a perch in or near woods, and has an orange “tummy,” it should be a Red Red-tailed hawk shouldered hawk. Here are the sightings in our county for the month of March: Mimi Cantwell, Aaron Mountain, saw a Pine Siskin; Kay Wilson, Grand View Road, checked in with the Eastern Phoebe (one of our neat flycatchers); Steve Kenny, Washington, and Mary Ann Krammes, Slate Mills, both reported seeing the elusive American Woodcock.

Sara Lowry, Walnut Grove, noted three uncommon birds: the Eastern Meadowlark, the Fox Sparrow, and the Common Snipe (I think uncommon)! Jenks Hobson, Washington, noted the Black Vulture as one of our more common birds. We compared identification features of the Black Vulture vs. the Turkey Vulture: the Black Vulture has a faster wing beat, a shorter tail, and ghastly white legs. The sightings from Long Mountain Road are: a Pine Warbler eating suet and a Bam Owl residing in a silo. Jim Bywaters, Flint Hill, contributed two nice species, both in the Swallow family. He saw a Tree Swallow on March 7 and on the 18th he saw his first Purple Martin of the year. Last year Jim noted he had 70 pairs of Martins. And now that the ice is off the ponds, we received new sightings of water birds. Andy Platt called in Wood Ducks seen in the Rock Mills area and Hooded Mergansers on Carrigan’s pond in Washington. Sara Lowry is really working this bird list! She added Canada Goose, Mallards, Hooded Mergansers, and Ring Neck Duck; Kent Hickman, a recent “full-timer” living on Lizzie Mills, Castleton, reported a Great Blue Heron that gives him daily pleasure. Kent can view his pond from his house, so we hope to have more waterfowl reports. Alan Zuschlag called in the pretty Bufflehead duck. We on Long Mountain added the American Widgeon. We are attempting to compile the entire list of birds seen since January, per many requests, for those of you that are recording the Birds of Rappahannock. According to my tally, we are now up to 64 species. Nice job from you all. Have a nice April and continue calling your birds in to Bruce Jones 675-3152 or bsjonz® earthlink.net.

ODH race a Gold Cup prep Panthers score at track meets Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Betsy Parkef RACE TIME: This Saturday, many of Virginia’s top steeplechasers will compete at the Old Dominion Hounds Point-to-Point Races at Ben Venue. Of special interest is the three-mile Leeds Don open timber race, which has drawn a large field of horses and riders. By Betsy Parker Rappahannock News Staff Writer The entry box is overflowing for Saturday’s Old Dominion Hounds Point-to-Point, and quality is matching quantity. Headliners number nearly a dozen in the featured Leeds Don open timber, a three-mile race widely considered a key prep to the National Steeplechase Association timber stakes circuit that begins next week in Maryland. Leeds Don winner last year, Bowman’s Crossing leapfrogged from the rolling Ben Venue Farm course to a near-miss third in the four-mile Maryland Hunt Cup three weeks later. Rivals include last year’s runner-up and, later, novice timber champ, Fields of Omagh, and EMO Stables’ Suembul, who will have the services of New Zealand champion jockey Clayton Chipperfield. Connections of last year’s Virginia Gold Cup winner Lord Kenneth, from the dangerously strong Kinross Farm, hope to follow the same 2003 course that led from an Old Dominion tune-up flat score to Gold Cup triumph four weeks later. Other notables among the 31 novice rider flat race entries include Grade I hurdle winner Pelagos. Rounding out the competitive race card are owner-rider timber and hurdle races, a ladies’ timber, a novice hurdle and a program-opening junior field masters’ chase.

This evocation may be conducted in word, song, and pictures. Much as a person would nostalgically thumb through an album of photographs, a memorial service may involve readings, musical interludes, and personal remembrances of cherished thoughts by friends and family. For instance, there might be a funeral in the town where the person lived and died, and a jnemorial service later in the town where the deceased grew up. Sometimes having two services can be appropriate if a loved one lived far from where he or she is eventually buried. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, we are happy to help you arrange the details of transporting a loved one if that should become necessary.

Historic From Page A1 Mrs. Fannon, and the present mill was built and processed wool until 1929. All of this information is the grist of study, as Laurel Mills prepares to present a request to be designated an 16,500 Sq. Ft. of Furniture Glassware Collectibles ■ Old Tools Crafts & Gifts historic district by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources and the National Park Service. This week Arcadia, of Keswick, VA — a husband and wife team of historians — begins a study of the village of Laurel Mills that may see it designated as the first historic district in Rappahannock County. Mrs. Fannon, who has owned the Laurel Mills Store since 1988, and several of her neighbors have retained Arcadia through the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance, at the suggestion of Hal Hunter, a member of the Planning Commission Committee on historic districts. Hunter said that Arcdia will seek out all the historic data as it can, review and photograph the structures, and prepare a formal proposal. According to Hunter, the designation is only made twice a year, and this could mean a ceremony in Laurel Mills might be as late as 2005. Amanda Stephens, who with her husband Gary Light bought and restored the home of the Laurel Mill owner, thinks that Laurel Mills is aptly suited for historic remembrance. The village is virtually untouched by time, she noted, adding that the homes that remain were standing there when die mill was active. Their home, a 9,000 square foot Victorian built in 1896, was constructed by William Smith, a wealthy sheep farmer and part owner of the Rappahannock Woolen Company. “It supposedly had ghosts, and we welcome them,” she laughed. r 32nd ANNUAL AMERICAN CIVIL WAR SHOW Capital Expo Center.

Running against a powerful Page County squad (106 points) and a strong RandolphMacon Academy team (76 points), the Panthers overcame Stonewall Jackson for thirdplace in the meet. Eric Phillips (9 points) led the Panthers with a third-place finish in the 200m dash (25.23 sec.) and fourth-place finishes in the 100m dash (12.54 sec.), long jump (IT 8”) and triple jump (35’61/2”). Corey Voorhies (7 points) finished second (109’ 1”) and third (38’ 10 1/2”) in the discus and shot put, respectively. Nathan Welch (5 points) finished third in the 110m high hurdles (20.77 sec.) and placed fourth in the high jump (5’ 4”). Kevin Martin placed third in the 3200m run with a time of 11:56 min. The boys’ team were scheduled to travel to Warren County on March 31 for their second quad meet (Warren County, Loudoun Valley and Strasburg high schools). Corner From Page A1 Culpeper’s environmental experts concern. “We don’t want to be the new kids on the block,” Howard said, referring to the unfamiliar treatment facility. “Tbo much risk.” A similar treatment plant failed at a site in Canada, he added. Culpeper’s Planning Commission previously voted unanimously against the project, but a number of changes have been made to bring it more closely in compliance with Culpeper’s Comprehensive Plan. “They have listened to a lot of the county’s ideas,” said Samuel A. McLearen, Culpeper’s zoning administrator. Now, McLearen said, the project is “fairly close” to what the Comprehensive Plan calls for. The Centex project makes up just a portion of the Clevenger’s Village vision Culpeper has planned for its northern tip. It is “just one piece of the total village center,” Howard said. He noted that whatever water treatment facility is used, it will serve future elements of the village. When fully developed, Culpeper County expects up to 4,000 homes to be built in the area. Culpeper supervisors have several options. They can reject the application, postpone their decision or approve the application without the treatment plant. That last option would require a later upprovul of the plant. As for transportation, it is estimated that 766 houses would put 7,660 vehicle trios per day on surrounding roads. Many South Wales residents already work in Warrenton or points east, und travel through Fauquier to get to their jobs or shopping Culpeper County officials said the division on Clevenger’s Comer will likely be deferred.

Cliff Waldron’s classic bluegrass returns to Rappahannock On April 23, RAAC will bring a unique and influential talent to the Theatre in Washington. After a long hiatus, Cliff Waldron and the New Shades of Grass will bring their unique repertoire of classic bluegrass mixed with more contemporary sounds to Rappahannock. In the 1960s, Cliff Waldron began mixing the traditional sounds of Bluegrass with songs from contemporary writers. At the time, Cliff along with the Country Gentlemen and the Seldom Scene were all experimenting with this formula. Seldom Scene stalwarts Ben Eldridge and Mike Auldridge began their careers in Cliff's band. Bill Emerson, Dave Auldridge (Mike’s brother), Bill Poffinberger, and banjoist Jimmy Arnold, bassist Ed Ferris,mandolinist Akira Otsuka, as well as current Diamond Rio mandolinist, Gene Johnson have all served as members of The New Shades of Grass. Over the years, the punchy rhythmic introduction to “Fox on the Run” has become a virtual call to arms in the bluegrass community. And while the tune will be forever linked to the classic Country Gentlemen ensemble of the early 1970s, another Washington D.C. Sharp Rock Vineyards wins gold and silver medals Sharp Rock Vineyards won a gold medal for its 2002 Cabernet Franc at the 2004 Florida State Fair International Wine Competition held in Tampa, Fla.

The 2002 Chamois Blanc, which recently won a gold at the Wines of the South Competition, received a bronze. Sharp Rock Vineyards is located near Old Rag Mountain just off Route 231, about eight miles south of Sperryville.

The English rock band Manfred Mann’s’ Fox on the Rim” is not the only song that Cliff is well known for bringing into the genre: Tim Hardin’s “If I Were A Carpenter,” Gordon Lightfoot’s “Early Morning Rain” and Eric Andersen’s soft ballad of parting,"Close The Door Lightly When You Go” have' all received the Cliff Waldron treatment and been very well received. In 1974, constant touring and playing festival dates got to els’. “My life was going down the tubes,” he commented, “and I felt that I needed a change and to get away from that atmosphere. I got caught up with some stuff that I shouldn’t have. So I had to get ahold of myself and get my life straightened out.” So Cliff Waldron took himself in a new direction. “I got remarried and started going to church, and right after that I got out of music altogether.” Waldron took a job with the National Park Service, and began an extended period where music was only a part of his life. “The only thing that 1 did was a little bit of gospel music. I didn’t do any recordings. We made a couple of tapes Cliff Waldron in the group that I was in and went around and played a few churches in the mid 1980s. But 1 didn't do anything from 1974 until the late ‘80s.” Unbeknownst to his many fans, Cliff settled in Rappahannock County, where he still lives. Then in 1996 — after a 20-year tour of duty with the Park Service and fighting his way through some health problems — Cliff Waldron has again found the musical calling. He has since recorded three albums, one with his own band and two with mandolinist Paul Williams, who is well known in his own right. Waldron’s current ensemble includes players who are local to each other. “We all live within an hour of each other ... I enjoy the things that we’ve been doing,” he said. This edition of The New Shades of Grass includes mandolinist Mark Maggiolo, Kevin Roop on banjo, Mark Clifton on the resonator guitar and bassist Larry Kirk While he has taken his share of chances in life, Cliff Waldron has found that there is room in his life for the devotion he has for his personal beliefs and bluegrass music. He doesn’t do as many shows today, as he once did. “1 don’t play the club and bar circuit anymore” he proudly stated. However, when you track him down at a festival or concert, you'll hear the same devotion to style in the current band that was ever-present in his earlier ensembles — Cliff W’aldron is an innovator and a survivor and certainty a worthy choice for induction to the SPBGMA Hall of Honor in 2004.

Oscar winner ‘House of Sand and Fosr’ at Theatre Friday, April 2 By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News Based on a bestseller by Andre Dubus III, an Oprah’s Book Club selection, the “House of Sand and Fog” is a brilliantly acted, remarkably directed film debut by the Ukrainian commercial and musicvideo veteran Vadim Perelman. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community is showing the film at The Theatre on Gay Street in Washington on Friday, April 2 at 8 p.m. Nominated for three Academy Awards including Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Shohreh Aghdashloo, Best Documentary and Best Music (original score), the film won an Oscar for Best Documentary. Jennifer Connelly stars as Kathy Nicolo, a troubled California Bay area housecleaner who learns that she has been evicted from the comfortable, ramshackle beach-block home she inherited from her father. Due to a bureaucratic error and to ignoring notices for $500 in back taxes she didn’t actually owe, Nicolo, a self-destructive recovering alcoholic, has lost possession of her beachfront home in Northern California. She hires a lawyer to regain ownership of the property, but the city has already put the house on the block, and it is quickly snapped up by Massoud Amir Behrani (Ben Kingsley), an Iranian and former colonel in the Shah’s air force who is desperate to reinstate the honor, and fortunes, of his family. The fascination of “House of Sand and Fog” is the way that it twists and turns. Neither Nicolo nor Behrani, ironically, has much love for the house. Behrani plans to sell it as quickly as he bought it (at four times the price), and for Nicolo it’s less a nest House of Sand and Fog' than a base of survival. She is ultimately to blame for her predicament (she didn’t bother to open her mail, hence the missed eviction warnings), though it’s easy to see why she takes up with a sympathetic police officer (Ron Eldard) who’s willing to break the rules to get the house back. Behrani has no sympathy for Nicolo, yet in trying to better the lives of his wife (Shohreh Aghdashloo) and son (Jonathan Ahdout), he is hardly a villain. He’s a fallen Middle Eastern warrior who transforms himself into a scrappy American capitalist. Jennifer Connelly continues to grow as a presence beyond her classic beautiful looks. Roles in “Requiem of a Dream” and her Oscar-winning performance in “A Beautiful Mind” were near the top of those film’s strengths. Here she’s stunning as a confused, angry woman who wants to wash away her past sins and slowly sees herself heading into even greater ones. Ben Kingsley as Behrani gives a great performance. Behrani is a char acter that depends on the audience both feeling for him and being disgraced at his actions at various stages of the film. He’s sympathetic and hateful. His undeniable devotion to his son as the heir to the family name could have been played without words because of Kingsley’s strength. The socked-in fogginess of the Northern California coastal setting enhances this sad but rich story- full of misunderstandings and bad bargains. There is scarcely a glint of hope in this somber tale, but the luminous performances of Kingsley, Connelly and Aghdashloo light up the screen. In fact, Iranian actress Aghdashloo plays Nadi Behrani, Kingsley’s wife, with so much dignity and heart- that she deserves to he among those nominated for Best Supporting Actress. In English and Farsi with subtitles, this artful film is rated R for emotionally disturbing material, racial hatred, obscenity and violence. Run time is 126 minutes.

The single road in and out of town was not paved until in 1967. Isolation and poverty have marked the community, but that very isolation has also been a blessing, protecting the community and making it a fertile incubation ground for what the New York Times described as “some of the most miraculous works of modem art America has produced.” For generations, women of the Bend have passed down an indigenous style of quilting geometric patterns out of old britches, commeal sacks, Sears corduroy swatches and hand-medown leisure suits.

Your Personal Best Hive you ever heard the question... ’Are you doing yourpersoul best?" Though usually referring to workplace endeavors, one can connect that phrase with any of his or her daily performances and relationships. What is your "personalbest*? The answer varies according to individual backgrounds and capabilities as well as different degrees of determination to succeed. Lance Armstrong's personal best as a cyclist is certainly better than the biking enthusiast who only gets out on weekends. However, aren’t both glorifying Cod by taking care of the gifts they were given? Furthermore, doesn’t the effort required to stay in shape prepare them for adversity? The most qualified and determaed of us can experience tragedy and loss that jolts our capacity to perform daily tasks and reach goals. What then? Lance Armstrong would probably admit that his personal best was beating cancer, not winning the Tour de France 5 times. No matter what, we need to focus on Cod as the inspiration for our "personal best’ When we give Him our best as we worship each welt, Cod returns it to us with added strength and peace. Won’t you give Cod yonr ‘personal best” this week as you visit your local church or synagogue?

Popular Bistro re-opens its doors in Warrenton Alter a bnei hiatus, a local restaurant returns with the same name, but a different owner, menu By George Rowand ■ Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock folks who enjoyed the food and atmosphere at the Main Street Bistro in Old Town Warrenton, which closed last year, are welcomed back. With a new owner, different menu, same name, same location ... the Bistro recently reopened. “The location is great,” said new owner A1 Nosrat, who also owns Napoleon’s Restaurant a quarter-mile away. “We’ve tried to make it a little more family-oriented. I want to appeal to local people with good food and reasonable prices.” Running two restaurants in the same proximity might lead an owner to simply duplicate one menu in the other. Not so with Nosrat. “It’s entirely different food,” he said. “What we have here is not at all like what we have at Napoleon’s. And well change the menu a couple of times a year, and well have specials every day and every night.” Business has been good so far, Nosrat thinks. “Lunch is doing great, and we’re doing OK on dinner,” he said. “Maybe we’ll add an early-bird special.” Head chef Paul Lombardy, who lives in Fredericksburg right now, is the head chef at the Bistro. Lombardy brings a lifetime of experience in the kitchen to his new job. “I’ve been working with food for 21 years,” Lombardy said. “There’s nothing else I’d rather do.” Lombardy said that he wwked for a number of places in his career. “I’ve worked at a lot of private restaurants and clubs,” he stated, “including one, 40 Main Street in New Jersey, that got four stars from the New York Times. It was a small restaurant, kind of like this place, and we did things like smoking our own fish. Hopefully I’ll be able to do the same things here.” The lunch menu is extensive, from appetizers like chicken quesadillas and pita pizza, to soups, salads and sandwiches, like Tuscan beef and Alsace chicken, and entrees such as roasted salmon and pecan-crusted chicken breast. FREE INSPECTION Protect your home. Permanently. Protect your home, family and pets against termites, fleas, ticks and other pests. 540-829-0000 www.PermaTreat.com PermaTreat PEST AND TERMITE CONTROL Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Mark F. Sypher ADDED SEASONING: Al Nosrat recently added the Main Street Bistro in Old Town Warrenton to his stable of restaurants. He also owns Napoleon’s in Warrenton. One of the dishes featured at his new restaurant is the herb-crusted salmon shown at right. “Everything is made fresh daily, using the best produce I can get,” Lombardy said. “The seafood is fresh every day.” The prices range from about $5 for the soup, to sandwiches for $7 to $8, and finally to the $10-$15 entrees. There is a special or two every day, and that price is around $8 to $10. Lombardy said he enjoys trying out new recipes, and hesitated to call his menu by the latest buzz word in cooking: “fusion.” “I’m not crazy about calling it fusion, but I’ll do a sake-marinated shrimp, for example, and I’ll have a classic French dish right next to it.” His Alsace chicken sandwich is interesting in its origin and its ingredients. “Alsace is known for cheese and its apples, and I thought that I’d combine the two with chicken,” he said. “The result is that you’ve got chicken, roasted shallots, bacon, apples and Gruyere cheese all together in a sandwich. It’s been very popular so far.” Lombardy said that he will pay attention to what items get ordered most often and adapt the menu according to the perceived desires of his customers. “It’s pretty well-known that chefs develop favorite recipes, and then sometimes it won’t move, and the chef sticks with it because it’s his favorite,” Lombardy explained. “The clientele simply doesn’t want it. “I’m going to see what people like, and well change our menu to reflect their desires. Our first menu is what I thought people might like, and then well track sales to see where we are.” The Bistro also handles catered events. “We had a small party in here the other night, and they said, ‘Pick out something you think we’d like,’ and I like doing that,” Lombardy said. Before he came to the Bistro, Lombardy had worked at a number of hotels, including a group that owned the Westin, St. Regis and W hotels. “I was executive chef for the Sheraton in Alexandria for the past five years,” he said. But the drive to Alexandria every day got to be a drag, so he decided to take advantage of the offer to run the Bistro’s kitchen. “I really got to the point where I dreaded driving to Alexandria every day,” he explained. “The traffic was terrible. Now, coming here, I get to look at the cows and the horses every day, and that’s better.” And there’s an additional advantage to working in an Old Tbwn restaurant: immediate feedback. “A lot of customers are coming in 'and saying, “What are you cooking tonight?’ and you really don’t get that in a hotel. I like to see people enjoying the food.” The Bistro is located at 32 Main Street in Old Town Warrenton. The restaurant is open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday; for dinner from 4:309 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 4:30-10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. There is a brunch on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The phone number is (540) 347-0550. Mt.
