Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing next Wednesday on a new, revised outdoor lighting ordinance which the backers hope will allay the fears of intrusive government that stalled it in 2001. Gwen Hays, who with her husband Clyde Humphrey, worked to revive interest in the ordinance, said she polled the Planning Commission members recently and found that none of them would predict how they would vote. In 2001, the Planning Commission voted to recommend the ordinance to the Board of Supervisors by a 4 to 3 vote. Supervisor Ron Frazier of Amissville voted against the ordinance and later was accused by proponents of keeping the supervisors from bringing the issue to a vote. As a result it was “tabled” for nearly two years. Frazier declined to predict his vote Monday until after the public hearing. He said the ordinance has been changed, but there was still opposition among people in his district. In 2001 some 150 people in Amissville signed a petition objecting to the measure, Frazier said the primary objection is the fear that a government five to 10 years in the future will broaden the law to cover private houses. He said people see the move as a sign of intrusive government. the lighting ordinance is designed to regulate the amount of light, lighting fixtures and direction of light that commercial firms can [dace on their property. The ordinance reads in part that it is “to provide sufficient light in Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts for safety and security” and “to prevent glare on public roadways and adjoining properties.” Unlike the proposed ordinance in 2001, the new version makes clear that “no provision of this section shall apply to any single family dwelling, or any structure, landscaping or use permitted by right on the same lot with the single family dwelling.” It also, according to County Administrator John McCarthy, for the first time sets forth a uniform measure for light—foot candles or “fc”— which assists developers and others by having an agreed measure of light strength. One “fc” Humphrey said would be enough light to have a candlelit dinner in a restaurant. He said that the Quickie Mart’s Shell Station pumps are “over illuminated” with 35 candle feet 6ee LIGHTING, Page A3 Meetings • The Rappahannock County public school system will reopen Monday, April 19. • The Special Education Advisory Council for Rappahannock County Public Schools will meet on Friday, April 20 in the School Board office conference room at 8:30 a.m. The purpose of this meeting is to provide School Board members with an overview and tour of the division's Special Education Program. • On Wednesday, April 21, the Rappahannock County Planning Commission will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the courthouse on Gay Street in Washington.

Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer * The might of Virginia’s law enforcement will try next week to scare the parents arid children of Rappahannock County into controlling underage drinking and halting the injuries and deaths it causes. School and law enforcement officials will conduct two briefings at Rappahannock County High School on the eve of the school’s annual spring prom, a dance that across Virginia is often accompanied by drinking and deadly driving. Though the State Police and other agencies run these programs statewide, in the wake of Dylan Corbin’s death last Dec. 30, the program has special meaning in Rappahannock. State Police First Sergeant James Edward Murphy said officials will detail how the state can use paid teenage informants to infiltrate parties where children are given liquor or “set up” unscrupulous merchants who sell liquor to minors. They will describe the powers of the grand jury to grant immunity to children to testify against others and the personal costs of being convicted of loaning identity cards to young-, sters or carrying a fake identification. “A lot of parents think this is, ‘my house, my kid, I can give him alcohol,’” Murphy said. “Wrong. It is a crime and the parents are responsible. “That’s what zero tolerant? means.” High School Principal Roger Mello said school officials are making a special effort to make the prom safe on See PROM, Page A8 Outdoor weekend fun Run, walk and enjoy a day at the Fodderstack 1 OK race By Jean Lillard Special to the Rappahannock News More than 122 persons—a combination of serious runners and walkers— have pre-registered for the 26th running of the Fodderstack 10K race on Saturday, April 17.

Two Wakefield students named ‘Athlete of the Month’ Wakefield Country Day School in Flint Hill has instituted a new program, “Athlete of the Month,” which recognizes a boy and girl who not only have distinguished themselves athletically but also have displayed leadership skills and good sportsmanship. Allison Russo, a sophomore from Flint Hill, won the award for outstanding female athlete for March. She is a key player on the girls’ varsity soccer team, which compiled a 4-2 record in March. Allison scored three goals and was a key element during the Owls four-game winning streak that produced three consecutive shut-outs over Randolph-Macon Academy, Rappahannock County High School, and Fresta Valley. The Owls current ranking is 4-2 in the Delaney Athletic Conference. Kevin Riedel, a freshman from Washington was singled out as March’s outstanding male athlete for March. Kevin not only participates in cross-country, but also he has proven to be invaluable to the athletic department in general. Kevin recently spearheaded a drive which allowed the school to purchase much needed equipment. He started a program in which the cross-country team sells popcorn at home basketball games, and it is being expanded to provide concessions at the spring soccer matches.

Fund is established The Ann Spieker Track Foundation, Inc., frequently referred to as “Common Ground,” has established the Ann Spieker Track Foundation Fund at the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation (NPCF). Created in honor of Ann Spieker, founder of the Rappahannock County High School track program, the fund will benefit the construction, installation and maintenance of track and related sports facilities for the Rappahannock County Public School System. The Rappahannock County High School track team Was established in 1972 with 12 girls who practiced on a small field located where the new addition to the school stands. Today, with over 40 participants, girls and boys practice on an outdated track or the high school driveway. Because of the condition of the track, all meets must at locations other than RCHS. The Ann Spieker Track Foundation Fund will provide for a new track facility as well as other sports related needs in the county. “We are excited about this new venture,” says Wayne Fastham of the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation. “The Ann Spieker Track Foundation will address a pressing issue relating to sports facilities in Rappahannock County.” The Northern Piedmont Community Foundation is a public charity established in 2001. For more information on establishing a charitable fund or to contribute to the Ann Spieker Track Foundation Fund, contact the NPCF office at 540-349-0631 or PO. Box 182, Warrenton, VA 20188.

Monday-Friday Member, Audit Bureau of Circulations www.TimesCommunity.com THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 2004 Our View Homeland defense Last Thursday, the U. S. Census Bureau reported that Loudoun County was the fastest growing county in the nation (30.7 percent growth rate), an accolade that 40 years ago would be cheered on the front pages and nightly newscasts across the region. The blood was up for growth across America in 1960s and 1970s: Fairfax County, Virginia; McHenry Comity, Illinois; Ventura County, California and a host of others proudly carried the accolade of “fastest growing.” Millions of acres of farm pastures and forests were ground up for “growth,” that sort of indefinable expansion that many cheered in America. The singlefamily house, the big lawn, the shopping mall were all part of this American Dream. But the cheering is muted, now that the reality is that you can’t drive across Fairfax County on a Saturday without facing a half dozen major traffic jams, or that 52 percent of Virginia’s waterways are environmentally impaired, up from 5 percent in 1996. School budgets are staggering, highway construction is stalled, and medical, fire and rescue services are often overburdened. Rappahannock County is on the fringes of this mammoth sea of growth; threatened but not devoured. It behooves the county to marshal every weapon in its defense against suburban sprawl. One small weapon is now before the Board of Supervisors: a proposal to purchase the development rights from working farmers, so they can continue farming and resist selling their land to major developers t Under this plan, a working farmer could sell the county an easement over the land, in exchange for cash payment. This would allow him to continue to profit from farming his land, and for the land to be taxed at a lower rate while in production. When the farmer was ready to sell his land, the buyer would have to use the land for farming and there would be no chance that it would become another Clevengers Corner. The small amount of Rappahannock County’s money to do this won’t stop all development, but every effort will help retain the beauty and life of this special place. We urge the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors to approve the proposed “Farmland Preservation Ordinance,” which will provide for the purchase of development rights. Rappahannock Today Photo courtesy.

Letters ‘Our senior yearbook was never produced’ Yearbooks have always been a much anticipated and integral part of every high school student’s career. Yearbooks provide students with a snapshot of a year of their lives. The most important year is senior year. It is when all the focus is placed on the graduating seniors. For them, this is their crowning moment. For the graduating class of 1999 and myself, this yearbook was a major disappointment. Our senior yearbook was never produced. This summer will mark five years since our graduation. Recently Joy Sours agreed to take on the task of helping to create our “lost year.” Ibgether with the help of 1999 alumni and the local community, we hope to have 1998-1999 yearbooks in production by June 1, 2004.

Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO April 16, 1964 At its meeting April 6, the ladies auxiliary to the Washington Fire Company elected a new president, Mrs. Virginia Estes and Vice President Mrs. Edward Clark. Miss Mary Miller Wood retained the office of secretary and Mrs. Marietta Cheatham remained as treasurer of the group. A 175-year-old frame house on the farm of Wade H. Massie III at Massie Corner was completely destroyed by fire Saturday night. The house was rented to Mr. and Mrs. Hugh . Grigsby and only Mr. Grigsby was at home when the blaze was discovered. He said the fire started in a back room and quickly engulfed the whole structure. The Grigsby family lost all their possessions in the fire except the clothing they had on and a washing machine which was on the porch. No candidates have filed for the office of 1 mayor or for council seats in the Town of Washington for the upcoming election in June. Mrs. Dorothy C. Davis, present mayor, stated that she would accept the office if elected and after discussing it at the council meeting Tuesday night. All the present council women agreed to serve if elected. Now filling council, ’ seats are Mrs. B.M. Miller, Mrs. B.R. Armel, Mrs. Milton Hawkins, Mrs. Edna Wayland, Mrs. T.C. Lea. There is one seat vacant since Mrs. Dabney Carr moved from Washington. 25 YEARS AGO April 12, 1979 Cecil Baldwin of Sperryville has announced her candidacy for the seat of Supervisor from Piedmont District subject to the election in November. In declaring, Mrs. Baldwin stated she is a native of Rappahannock County and attended school here. She is the former Cecil Burke. Mrs. Baldwin is an active member of Sperryville Rescue Squad and is the license agent for the Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles. She is married to Thomas Baldwin and together they own and operate West End Shell in Sperryville. “You better plan on naming an attorney because you’re going to be in court on May 2,” warned attorney Claude Compton after the Rappahannock supervisors delayed action on C.L. Goode’s Flint Hill subdivision. The development proposal has been under consideration for two and a half years. Goode first applied for approval for a 15 lot, five acre subdivision in September 1976. Following public hearings, the supervisors denied the rezoning from agriculture-conservation to residential subdivision at the recommendation of the planning commission. Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Bloomer presented the 1979-1980 school budget and plans for school expansion to a noncommittal board of supervisors at Thursday’s meeting. Budget questions focused on services to the handicapped, underground gasoline storage tanks and fuel costs for the coming year. At Bloomer’s request, the board unanimously approved the teacher salary scale with a seven percent group increase over last year’s schedule and an addition of a 15th step at the top of the scale. 10 YEARS AGO APRIL 13, 1994 In just his second try over timber, Edge Hill Squire made the most of 10-pound weight allowance and a strong ride by professional jockey Patrick Cooney to win the novice timber feature at the April 9 Old Dominion Hounds Point-to-Point. A capacity crowd of more than 3,000 poured into Ben Venue Farm gates on a sunny Saturday. Racegoers were privy to some of the spring’s finest competition yet, with no less than 11 races taking place. Members of the Water and Sewer Authority considered what to do about what they see as increasing problems with sewage in the county. Chairman Eugene Leggett said the county needs to do a study on the waste disposal needs of the county now and what they are likely to be in the future. He said an engineering study of how those needs can be met would be the next step. Member Charles K. “Pete” Estes noted that the school system will have to have a package treatment plant for the elementary school by 1997 and that the School Board is investigating the cost of a 15,000-gallon system to handle just the elementary school, a 25,000 gallon system that could handle both schools, and a 50,000-gallon system that could handle a third school or that the county could reserve part of for the general commercial district. A 25-caliber semi-automatic weapon was taken from a 12-year-old girl at Rappahannock County Elementary School last Thursday. The girl, a student at the school, also had with the weapon a clip with two bullets in it. The clip was not in the gun. Rappahannock Sheriff John Henry Woodward reported that the girl had apparently also brought the gun to school Wednesday and showed it to other students on the ride home. COMPILED BY NICHOLAS M. HORROCK

Clevenger’s Corner vote postponed to April 29 By Dusty Smith Rappahannock News Staff Writer Culpeper supervisors delayed a vote to approve 766 homes at the county's northern tip, wedged between Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. Officials rescheduled the vote for 7 p.m. Thursday, April 29 at Culpeper Middle School. Located at the southeast corner of U.S. 211 and Route 229, and known as Clevenger's Corner, the 1,754-acre site is targeted for homes, retail and offices. It sits about one mile west of Fauquier’s border with Culpeper and just a couple of miles east of Rappahannock’s border. The delay was caused by the water and sewer treatment system that Centex Homes has proposed for the development. Culpeper’s environmental services director said the proposed system relied on unproven technology- u “Centex is working on updating the water and sewer agreement with that package plant, trying to find a system that will work,” said Samuel McLearen, Culpeper’s zoning administrator. “The board did not feel comfortable voting on it one way or the other without that in place.” Besides water and sewer issues, Culpeper’s neighbors are a bit concerned about the impact that the proposal, v<VESTING S£Ko a % AND HOME IMPROVEMENT Interior • Exterior Over 17 years in business • Wood Replacement • Wall Coverings • Custom Carpentry • Pressure Washing/Deck Sealing j • Wall Paper/Stripping • Drywall/Finishing 540-439-0136 703-830-4128 FREE Estimates Quality Comes First J known as Clevenger's Village, would impose on them. “It’s safe to assume the traffic there is going to run down (U.S.) 211 into Warrenton and add a lot more congestion to the congestion,” said Warrenton Mayor George Fitch. People who buy those homes are likely to commute to Washington, D.C., Fairfax, Dulles and Prince William, Fitch said. In the evening, all of the cars must pass through a single right-turn lane to get from the U.S. 211 bypass back on to U.S. 211 in Warrenton. “It’s pretty bad right now,” Fitch said. “Can you imagine not only when the Clevenger’s Corner houses are there, but when the other byrighted development is there as well?” Fitch said improving that turn remains low on the Virginia Department of Transportation’s list of priorities. “It means if we want to do this,” he said, referring to improving U.S. 211, “we, the Town of Warrenton, have to pay for it.” Rappahannock officials also said they were keeping their eyes on the potential impacts from the community, but that Culpeper has kept them informed. “Were always concerned with a big development just across the border,” said John McCarthy III, Rappahannock's county administrator. “Culpeper's been very good about keeping us informed as a friendly gesture. I think they’re managing it pretty well, compared to what Centex first proposed." Rappahannock's main concern could end up being its landfill, which sits much closer to the Clevenger site than Culpeper’s landfill in the southern part of the county. “A lot of folks find it easier to go to our landfill than theirs,” McCarthy said. “It will also have a lot of impact on our fire and rescue services,” he said, pointing out that Rappahannock’s Amissville station handles most emergencies in that area now. Legislation could help Fitch said the development could be a lesson on growth in Virginia. “This is a great example of r Oj^^Washington, (540) 675-3707 Azaleas - Hostas - Daylilies Select from 10,000 azaleas • 200+ varieties If you've never visited us before you owe it to yourself to come this spring One of the most beautiful spots in Rappahannock County Open for retail April 17 - May 16th Saturday 9-5, Sunday 12-5 ONLY it's an experience you won't soon forget From Rt. 21) near Washington.

The Dillon Rule, which applies in Virginia but few other states, means local governments have only those powers expressly given to them by the state. In Virginia, localities have limited growth tools. Many county, city and town governments have been pushing for legislation that would allow- them to either restrict development until the necessary infrastructure is in place, or impose fees to pay for the schools, roads, utilities and other elements required to serve a proposed community. “It's to allow local government to have the tools to manage the development that is already pre-approved," Fitch said, describing the goal of such legislation. For the past four or five years, adequate public facility and impact fee legislation has failed to make it to a vote in either house of the General Assembly. Sen. Russ Potts 'R-27thi said he does not sit on the local governments committee where such legislation dies every year. However, he said if such a bill were to make it to the Senate floor for a vote, he would support it. Besides the homes, the plan calls for 389.000-squarefeet of retail, commercial and office space; a community park, and a 738-acre conservation easement.

After saving money for more than a year he and my mother found their “dream home.” It was a two-story farmhouse situated on three acres with four bedrooms and 1 |d9 baths. And best of all it was located in rural McLean, Va., right off lightly traveled Kirby Road. They paid $19,000 for that jewel. There was a clear stream that ran through our back yard and it wasn’t far from some of the best fishing holes around. We would spend long summer nights catching fireflies and running around our huge front yard. In the summer of 1969 my younger brother was born.

Tbwn houses along with small single-family homes on postage stamp size lots were sprouting up around our quiet slice of paradise. With the constant drone of heavy equipment it was an easy decision for my parents to sell our home and move. I am pleased to say they did not sell to a developer, but to a small growing family much like our own. I have the opportunity to travel Kirby Road once in awhile, which resembles a parking lot during rush hour. Our old house is gone, replaced by five homes on that same three acres.

(02)04) in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of my school, which was across the street from Blackwelders Farm. (A child could walk to school unattended in 1971). The farm covered more then 300 acres. It was loaded with apple trees and had several ponds fed by numerous streams and springs. On it stood a beautiful old plantation home. My class would take field trips to the farm and explore the streams and search for crawfish. The next time you travel I66 east to Washington, D.C. take a look at the old farm; you’ll pass right by it. It’s now called the “Vienna Metro Station.” During the time we lived in Vienna my Dad would load us into his old Plymouth Valiant every Sunday and take us on a fishing adventure. It was hard to tell where we would end up. It might be Goose Creek, Little River or some other remote stream or pond he stumbled upon. Many of those drives would lead to Route 211 via Route 29, both of which were two-lane divided byways in those days, extending from Route 66 to Skyline Drive. Once, while passing through Rappahannock County and a little village called Amissville, my Dad suddenly hit the brakes. On the left side of Route 211 sat a huge white two-story house with four columns stretching from ground to roof. We made a quick turn around and pulled into the driveway for a closer look. The old home had been abandoned and needed some repair and the two horses that had taken refuge inside needed to be relocated. Nevertheless we fell in love with it. It sat on 10 acres and had a two-acre pond in the back, which was fed by a swift tributary of the Hazel River and fresh, cold springs. The only neighbor in sight was Emerson Smith, whose house sat on 600 acres across the street. After some serious pleading, my Mom consented to the “last move.” We moved to Amissville the fall of 1974. This was “the country” and it took a little adjusting but we embraced our new way of life. It was a good place to grow up. You could ride your bike to Hackleys Store for a cold coke; if you drank it on the spot you could get a dime back. We would go to Elmer’s garage and watch Mr. Jenkins do oil changes while feasting on ice cream sandwiches. Life in Rappahannock County was a pristine adventure. For a child of 10 it was a dream come true. Move ahead 30 years. I still live on that same piece of land— my wife and I are raising two children of our own, in a home that we built when the original old home was destroyed by fire. As I awoke last weekend to the sound of heavy equipment working just up the road it dawned on me that Rappahannock County is changing. It is kind of like a baby kitten or puppy or even your own children. You see them everyday and you really don’t notice the change until they are fullygrown.

The stream that feeds our pond has been reduced to a silt-carrying trickle by culverts and redirections brought on by new construction. Elmer’s garage is long gone; so is the old two-lane Route 211, replaced by a heavily traveled four-lane road. Emerson Smith’s 600 acre farm must now have 20 houses on it. And that’s just in a small section of Amissville. See a pattern? The residents and voters of Rappahannock must take notice of these subtle slow moving changes and learn from our neighboring counties. Take a good look at your surroundings as you travel in and out of our county. Instead of a stately old mansion greeting us upon entering Warrenton we now are treated to a mass of town-homes and a Hampton Inn hotel. There are countless examples all around us. What has happened in Fauquier, Culpeper, and Prince William will happen to Rappahannock if allowed. How long before Hackleys Store has a 7-11 sign in the front? We must work to keep our stringent zoning laws in effect. And for the folks in this county who want those types of amenities and development, I say move to where they already exist. I can assure them they do exist elsewhere. And those places are still building on every square inch of available land. Keep Rappahannock beautiful. Places like it are disappearing rapidly. Tb paraphrase a line from the movie “Field of Dreams”—”If we don’t build it, they won’t come.” Prom From Page A1 Saturday, April 24. The prom will be at the Moose Lodge in Front Royal and the school has arranged a non-alcohol after party at the fitness center. In two special meetings at the high school next week, one for parents on April 22 and another for students on April 23, Virginia law enforcement officials are going to graphically describe the dangers of drinking and driving. The session for students is in two parts. The first portion at 10 a.m. is a general assembly for the ninth through twelfth grade and will involve an address by a paraplegic victim of a drinking and driving tragedy. At 11 a.m., what Mello called a “graphic slide show” of accidents narrated by Murphy will be shown for eleventh and twelfth grade students. The session for parents, which is at 7 p.m. at RCHS, is expected to include Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke, State Police officers, Sheriffs Office Capt. Jeff Brown and representatives of the Alcohol Beverage Control Department. Murphy said the State Police investigate after an accident or event, but that ABC can be “proactive” in investigating underage drinking. “ABC can pay juveniles to buy liquor or to go to a party where liquor is expected to be served and gather evidence for charges,” Murphy said. “They can work undercover in private homes or in restaurants, liquor stores or bars. Maybe this will scare them a little bit,” he said. Last December, Rappahannock was struck by a tragedy when 16-year-old Dylan Corbin was killed on his Way home from a party in a car driven by his brother. The car went off the road and struck a tree. A State Police investigation disclosed that the two boys had been at a party for 22 young people in the home of a woman who was out of town. Most of the youngsters were underage and alcohol flowed in abundance at the party. Nathan Corbin, 19, pleaded guilty to underage drinking and reckless driving. Several other party attendees have pleaded guilty to underage drinking or obtaining alcohol for others. Nicholas M. Horrock may be reachednhorrock@timespapers.com.

By Barbara Sherwood Special to the Rappahannock News Gallery visits in Rappahannock County offer views of each individual artist’s response to the world. Through the marks or forms the artist has made, their process is revealed, and their life in turn is revealed to us in a wordless, palpable experience—the magic of art. Self-expression is not always so openly evident in the artwork our community is able to view. Our scenery is beautiful, the market is predictably comfortable with beautiful views in paint, and the picturesque often dominates even the best efforts to translate it into art. Enter the doors of The Packing Shed Gallery this month and you will be pleasantly surprised and tickled or shocked or made to laugh and nod in agreement or simultaneously quieted and energized by immersion in color. In Ann Georgia McCaffray’s artwork on exhibit at the Washington gallery we experience feelings, emotions and energy through her dense See ART, Page B4 Two artists exhibit at Long View Gallery Above, ‘Nautilus I’ natural sculpture by Jeanne Drevas Left, ‘Whispers in Persia' painting by Sandra Warren Gobar Photos courtesy/ Long View Gallery By Martin Woodard Special to the Rappahannock News The intriguing sculptures of Sperryville artist Jeanne Drevas and the paintings of Quantico resident Sandra Warren Gobar will be featured in a two-person exhibition at Long View Gallery on Main Street in Sperryville from April 15 through May 10. There will be a reception for the artists on Saturday, April 17 from 4 to 7 p.m. Additionally, Jeanne Drevas will be in the gallery on Sunday, April 18 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for coffee and conversation. Everyone is invited. Jeanne Drevas is one of Rappahannock County’s most interesting and creative artists. She is renowned for her functional and sculptural ceramics, but it is with her sculptures of natural materials she gleans from the forest and fields of Rappahannock County that her creativity really soars. Using tree bark, vines, acorns, thatching and other natural materials, Drevas creates pieces that are often sensitive, intriguing, sensual and always fascinating. As she explains, “I see all their treasures and want to build with them, honor them, just play with them. I am a bird and squirrel building nest, spider spinning web. I cut up the tree in various ways sometimes leaving part of the tree intact and sometimes painstakingly prying bark from around branches. I am fascinated by the history that is left on bark; its scars and branch holes, this thin protective skin. I want to honor this abundance that resides outside my door.” Drevas’ work has been exhibited extensively across the country since the 1970s. Recently she exhibited in the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts in Farmville, Va., “Crafts National 37” in State College Pennsylvania where she won an award of merit, and “Fiberart International See GALLERY, Page B4 ‘Ol Diz’ returns to The Theatre in Washington By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News “01 Diz,” a one actor play based on the life and times of pitching great “Dizzy” Dean, returns to The Theatre in Little Washington on Saturday, April 24 at 8 p.m. It premiered at The Theatre last year. The show, created and performed by Ben Jones was featured at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in October as part of its World Series Gala, and will return to Cooperstown in June as part of the Hall of Fame’s 65th Anniversary Celebration. “Dizzy Dean’s life and career is a classic rags to riches American story,” says Rappahannock resident Jones, a former Congressman who played “Cooter” on the hit television show “Dukes of Hazzard.” “Within a few years 01’ Diz went from being a barefooted cotton picker to the cover of Time magazine. As exceptional as his baseball feats were, ■' ■ .....I. II 1,11*1 his life was even more extraordinary. As an American character, he is the equal of Mark Twain and Will Rogers. Dizzy Dean was a one-man parade wherever he went, and he had an unlimited zest for living.” In 1934, Dean won 30 games for the so-called “Gashouse Gang” of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals won the pennant and Dizzy and his brother Paul each won two games in the ‘34 World Series to beat the favored Detroit Tigers. After becoming a household word with his pitching he had a long career as America’s most beloved baseball announcer. Along with broadcast partner Pee Wee Reese, Dean was the announcer for the first national “Game of the Week” telecasts. “I am particularly delighted that because of our show the Baseball Hall of Fame has declared June 18 to be See THEATRE, Page B4 Photo couftesy/Wendy Weinberg concert V. f ,- V . \ •> r1 Chuck Redd witt play vibes and drums when the Chuck Redd Trio performs at The Theatre in Little Washington on Saturday, April 17 at 8 p.m. Redd is one of The Theatre’s favorite jazz musicians.

An evening of poetry with Carla Theodore Published poet, novelist and playwright Carla Theodore invites everyone to an evening of poetry at the Ki Theatre on Friday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m. “If you have never been to a poetry reading,” she says, “I urge you to give mine a try. Through my poetry I will be sharing some of the adventures, joys, sorrows, strivings and perplexities of my life - many of which you will also have experienced. Maybe I can inspire you to explore your own inner poet. “One needs to bring an intense kind of listening to a poetry reading. Midway through my program, there will be a few minutes to just relax with a musical interlude. This will be provided by our recently formed amateur string trio: the Burton, Miller, Theodore Trio. We are still debating which number we dare to play in public. The second half of the poetry program the audience will be invited to give their interpretations, thoughts, and reactions to the one or two poems that I will distribute.” Long time residents of Rappahannock County will remember the play “To Patty With Love” that Theodore wrote and produced in the 70s with the staff and students of her Summerhillian School: Nethers Community School. Theodore also produced her staged poem: “Next Year Jerusalem” at The Theatre in 1982 featuring Sid Gottlieb, Howard Coon, Waldron O’Connor and many other local residents. When she visited Japan, Theodore wrote a play for her English students which she produced in the local town hall. She also produced her play “Freedom Train” at the Institute for Contemporary Art at Goucher College in Tbwson, Md. Theodore’s poems have been published in some two dozen journals and See POETRY, Page B4 Students participate in festival By Linda Dietel Special to the Rappahannock News Rappahannock County students will take an active part in the Second Annual International Festival on Sunday, April 25 at the Rappahannock High School.

This “dramedy” features Bill Murray (First Saturday Night Live cast) and Scarlett Johansson (“Girl with the Pearl Earring.”) Murray plays Bob Harris, a frustrated, lonely, sad, droopy, middle-aged, washed-out actor from the states who is visiting Tbkyo to promote a brand of Japanese whisky. (“You know Rat Pack?” his Japanese director asks him. ' “Oh, yeah sure. A ring-a-ding-ding.”) Johansson plays Charlotte, a young lady who has come to Tbkyo with her husband John (Giovanni Ribisi), a photographer who leaves her in a fancy hotel for a few days when he goes to a photo shoot session. MOVIE: Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson star in ‘Lost in Translation” on Friday, April 16 at 8 p.m. at The Theatre in Washington. What essentially follows is an unconventional love story in the vein of “Harold and Maude,” only more realistic. The two main characters soon find themselves falling for each other, although not at all in the way that you are undoubtedly imagining after reading that last sentence. The two people in this film are too real to fall into the cliched Hollywood love story rut. It’s as if we’ve returned to the core of all-romance films: tender, intriguing, interesting and realistic, powered bv two alarmingly convincing performances. Sofia Coppola, the director and writer of this movie is a member of Hollywood royalty and has a habit of« basing her characters on real people. Supposedly she molded the character of the husband in the movie after her exhusband Spike Jonze, director of “Being John Malkovich" Coppola, Murray and Johansson won Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards and many nominations for their work on this original screen play.

YViewtown r By LINDA HITT *57-4221 This week’s history brief will be about the Old Forest Grove School. Last year my husband, Danny, interviewed seven former students concerning their experiences. These interviews covered dates ranging from 1926 to 1957. The interviews revealed a very different school environment compared to today. In 1929 two students (brothers) were contracted by the school for the sum of five cents per day to straighten and sweep up one classroom each. This early morning job also paid an additional five cents each for starting the fires in the old stoves. During this period of time the principle teacher, Ms. Ida Brown would arrive early in the morning on her large, brown horse, sometimes with a student or two on the horse with her. On cold snowy days, it is said that she traveled wrapped up with clothing to the point that one could only see her eyes. Upon arriving , volunteer students would lead her horse to a shed that was located in the far comer of the school property. One of the students I interviewed shared with me some original records from 1931 that belonged to Ms. Lucy Nelson, another teacher at Forest Grove. I noticed that very few children were overweight, but many had dental problems. Haven’t times changed! Children now mostly have good dental health, but a lot of them are overweight. Children don’t have to start fires in the stoves anymore, but occasionally you may here of one setting fire to the school. In today’s news, the Forest Grove Baptist Easter breakfast was held at the old Forest Grove school and we will have a complete report next week on the activities. The old school house has been completely cleaned top to bottom, after its long winter nap. The last event there was the annual fall festival. The church will always be grateful for the “King’s Travelers” band with Roger Routherford and Ronald Dodson for providing the music for that event. I have noticed they are now performing regularly throughout the county and recommend you go hear them. Baptist association celebrates 50th anniversary The 50th anniversary celebration of the Church Institute of Wayland Blue Ridge Baptist Association is taking place this week through Friday.

Art From Page B1 imagery, free flowing brush and pen and her unique ordering of forms, color, marks and ideas. Although each room takes a different turn on this path of selfexpression, it is clearly the work of this one complex, effusive, articulate woman. Particularly stunning are 15 mixed media works on paper in the first room, entitled, “The Writer’s Saga.” While some of McCaffray’s more complex work <described by the artist as “molecular soup”) took a full year to come to completion, the creation of “The Writer’s Saga" took one night. Here the full force of her playfulness and sense of humor, fluidity of line, and the imaginative reckoning with the breadth of her creative juices fully encompasses the viewer. For those new to the area or visiting, the Packing Shed Gallery is located on the corner of Gay and Porter Streets in Washington. Hours are Thursdav-Monday, 12:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Don’t miss this show!

She lives in a wonderful handmade house that soars two stories through the trees and is graced with handmade sinks, honeysuckle handles, reed ceilings and curving wild cherry tables. Sandra Warren Gobar Sandra Warren Gobar is a classical-realist oil, pastel and watercolor painter. Her mystical paintings capture the ethereal atmospheric elements in nature with African, Tuscan and Korean influences. According to Gobar, “Before the 20th century, most classical trained artists painted in many layers and I’m challenged by that. For me, painting goes beyond the subject matter at hand, it’s part of me and where I have been throughout my life captured on canvas.” Leslie Exton, Associate Professor at the Corcoran College of Art & Design says, “Sandra’s paintings are some of the most beautiful landscapes Fve ever seen - so dreamy, wistful and mysterious.” Gobar began her career in art costuming with the Virginia Opera Association and in wardrobe with C.B.N. television in Norfolk. She has studied art at the National Academy of Design with Wolf Kahn and at L’Accademia Di Belle Arti Lorenzo in Italy. She also stud ied watercolors with Myung Bo Sim in Seoul, South Korea and painting with Hayes Friedman at the Maryland Institute College of Art. In addition to painting, Gobar teaches landscape painting at the Corcoran and the Smithsonian Institution. Her work has been exhibited in New York, Washington, South Korea and Italy.

Many Rappahonians know of Carla Theodore’s work for a Sane Economy which she believes could meet peoples wishes without destroying the planet. “Poetry is a very different domain,” she says. “I don’t often write political poems. While there is a long and noble tradition of ‘engaged’ poets, I have always been fearful of using poetry for propaganda. I don’t want to do that. Every once in awhile, however, a political poem just pops out.” Theodore’s program is starting a little earlier than usual at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $10 at the door. For advance reservations, leave a message at 540-636-7458. Festival From Page B1 to 4 p.m., rain or shine. Admission is free. Students also will join Abasi Johnson, founder of a nonprofit organization called, “More Than a Drum,” in his percussion performance. The students have been studying with Johnson during drumming sessions at Rappahannock County Elementary School. Johnson is a world-traveled musician versed in many musi cal styles - African, Caribbean, jazz and reggae - and plays a variety of international percussion instruments. He performs frequently in the Washington area and is known for his recordings as well as his many performances with the reggae band, “Black Sheep.” A colorful group of TurkishAmerican dancers will enliven the afternoon. They will not only demonstrate a variety of native dances, but will invite the audience to learn a few steps with them. The dance group comes from the D.C. area and is made up of students. More Rappahannock high school students will perform with the Black Heritage international jazz group. The Black Heritage group is based in Berlin, Germany. Global Spotlights, the Headwaters sponsor of the International Festival, is producing the event in partnership with the Curriculum Enrichment Program and the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community. In the event of rain, the RCHS gym will house the event. Call the Headwater’s office 6751819, if there are questions. Shillelaghs c rrr, .
