Horrock/Mary Ann Kuhn RIFT: Amissville resident Amy Hitt explains a letter banning her for gossiping from the Amissville Baptist Church while Dr. N. Edward Taylor II defends his church’s actions. Woman banned from church for gossiping By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer As the saga of Amy Hitt has unfolded across this rural county over the past two weeks, only one thing is clear, neither Mrs. Hitt’s life nor the Amissville Baptist Church will be the same. Hitt and her supporters claim she was unfairly excluded from her church of six years as a common gossip because she worked to disclose the efforts of the pastor to use church funds to buy a house. Hitt said that she was never given a list of any other charges or any acts of gossip. The pastor, Dr. Norman Edward Taylor, II, and Wesley Mills, chairman of the deacons and the chairman of the Rappahannock School Board, say the exclusion was a painful act, “taken at the end of five years of personal attacks against Several people have left the church over the incident and others are deeply hurt by it. One member who grew up in the church said, “It was the worst thing I’ve ever seen.” members’ families,” as Mills put it. They claimed Hitt seemed unable or unwilling to change. The two rejected the notion that the exclusion was because she disclosed Taylor’s plan to use his church allowances to buy a house. Taylor said that a “hypothetical example of her gossip was saying someone was having an affair who wasn’t.” But they declined to give factual instances of her alleged gossip. “That would be doing what Amy was doing,” Mills said. Last fall, Hitt, 39, who has a countywide reputation for speaking her mind, was called by an elderly church member who said Taylor was planning to buy a home and use his church housing allowances to pay the mortgage payments, according to Hitt. The caller said Taylor was seeking Approval for the plan at an October business meeting of the congregation.

Judge defers ruling on Historic District Ordinance i By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News Staff Writer Little by little, Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey W. Parker whittled away at the Town of Washington’s Historic District Ordinance and how it came to be, but stopped short of ruling it invalid. Saying he needed more evidence to make a final decision, the judge in an 11- page opinion, made public Tuesday afternoon, refused to grant either side’s motion for summary judgment in the case of Worley v. the Town of Washington. The lawsuit, filed eight months ago, continues with a hearing June 17. Flint Hill residents Sid and Mary Catherine Worley are seeking to build a home on Main Street but the Washington Town Council turned them down because it See RULING, Page A4 If in fact, areas of the Town are not truly worthy of historic preservation as defined by the Enabling Statute, then the Ordinance is void for that reason alone.

Parker Rappahannock Circuit Court How to manage your forest: An interview with Lyt Wood By Beverly Hunter Special to the Rappahannock News Lyt Wood, well-known local forester and arborist, will be the featured presenter at the upcoming RappFLOW educational forum on sustainable forestry on April 24 from 10 a.m. through lunch (free) at Cliff Miller’s Mount Vernon Farm in Sperryville. Adding to Wood’s expertise at the Saturday forum will be John McCarthy, Rappahannock County administrator, Martin Agee of the Virginia Department of Forestry with his exhibits, Kenner Love, Agricultural and Natural Resources Extension Agent in Little Washington, Joe Thompson, District Conservationist for Rappahannock and Culpeper counties, USDA, Julie May, Rappahannock Watershed Field Coordinator for the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, and Danny Dolinger of Virginia Forest Watch. Lyt Wood brings to this forum 25 years of experience as a resident, arborist and forester working with landowners in Rappahannock County. In a recent interview, Wood provided important questions that landowners and those involved in forest operations should address for their individual benefit as well as protecting the watershed and enhancing the local economy.

Wakefield’s Dance Team adds talent, grace to sports By Kathie Russo Special to the Rappahannock News For the secQnd year, Wakefield Country Day School’s sports program has offered “dance” as a challenging and creative option for students seeking to obtain a sports credit during the academic year. For 2004, nine girls in the Upper School , have spent at least two hours every afternoon for the last three months, painstakingly putting together their own creative dance routines, some modem, others classical, as part of their extracurricular activities. Wakefield's dance troupe consisted of Mary Davis, Carie Marschner, Cecilia Marschner, Kelly O’Connor, and Lindsay West of Front Royal, Joy Heddleston of Sperryville, Brittany Kearney of Culpeper, Robin Oyster of Castleton, and Katherine Russo of Flint Hill. The team’s hard work culminated in an opportunity for them to compete in a statewide competition at Kings Dominion, as well to give a performance at the school several weeks ago. The dance recital offered a great selection of styles in routines, such as the graceful ballet duet, “I Will Come to You,” performed by Robin Oyster and Joy Heddleson, contrasted by the modem, “Live Your Dreams," the dramatic robotic-style dance solo performed by Mary Davis, followed later by an encore performance of her everpopular, “Gotta Get Through This.” Lindsay West and Katherine Russo performed to “Ghetto Superstar,” and Katherine continued along modern lines with a solo to Abbas’s “Kisses of the Sun." Aubree Parker sang, “Angel," followed later by Robin Oyster's vocal rendition of, “Who I Am.” The girls did an amazing job with “One in A Million” (for a moment, you might have thought you were on the set of “Miss Congeniality"), and the Marschner girls not only can dance, but as the vocalists Pumba and Timone for the Dance Team’s rendition of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” qAffuntatnfy/# Washington VA (540) 675-3707 One of the most beautiful spots in Rappahannock County Azaleas • Hostas • Daylilies Select from 10,000 azaleas • 200+ varieties 100 azalea varieties in bloom this weekend Open for retail through May 16th Saturday 9-5, Sunday 12-5 ONLY Drive a little and save a lot From Rt 211 war Washington VA, take Rt 626 (Tiger Valley Road) south for 3 miles.

Katie von Fange offered a seemingly effortless tumbling routine between acts, and her sister Karie was extremely graceful in her ballet to the tune of the Beatles’ “Yesterday.” Kelly O’Connor and Mary Davis worked well together on “Starry Eyed Surprise,” and there were even a few tears in the audience when seniors Robin Oyster and Lindsay West performed their dance to the “Graduation Song.” At the end of the evening, Erica Sturtevant, the team’s coach, thanked the girls for all their hard work, and the audience for attending the performance. According to several of the parents in attendance, Sturtevant spent many hours throughout the season working closely with the girls, supervising their practices, giving input on their routines, helping to organize fund-raisers for their costumes, as well as providing general guidance.

Each night on television, Americans watch angry Iraqis, some driven to JL Skilling, so filled with rage that they stripped and dismembered the corpses of a group of American security men and hung them from a bridge. In Madrid it was deep world-shaking anger that blew up a commuter train killing innocent Spaniards on the way to work. Terrorism is an outgrowth of unquenchable international rage. Anger stalks Israel and the Palestine Authority and wells up in the hearts of men in Afghanistan. It breeds on old disputes and new outAs we watch television from our homes in Rappahannock County on a spring evening, it is hard to conceive of such rage or the need for it. Rappahannock is a peaceful county; the little villages like Amissville, Sperryville and the Tbwn of Washington as •warm and inviting as any place on earth. It is hard then to understand the anger that seems to be flaring in the Amissville Baptist Church. The church, nearly 140 years old, stands in quiet white dignity off Route 211. It is the place of worship of 240 isouls; a place where children are baptized and the elderly laid to rest. Many of our neighbors have worshipped there since they were children and like many eimple American churches it is a symbol of peace and love in our community. ; Earlier this year, by a vote of 25 to 22, the church effectively banished one of its members, Amy Hitt, a ;39-year-old mother of three children who had been an active member of the church. The pastor, N. Edward ^Taylor, II and six deacons signed a letter criticizing her behavior and effectively forced her from the church. Taylor and others claim she has hurt people for five years by outspoken “gossip.” This in turn drove church members to take sides, aome for Hitt and some for Taylor and the church deacons. Taylor and Wes Mills, a deacon and chairman of the School Board, said it was a painful decision to exclude her, taken only after years of trying to get Hitt to change. rages. Hitt suspects it was because she wanted to discuss openly the financial plans of Taylor’s to buy a house using in part his church housing stipend. She is outspoken, she said, when she sees something wrong and Seeks to correct it. The rift is in the open with published reports in the Rappahannock News and also The Washington Post. The county’s chatterbox, Rappnet, has been crowded with emails on the subject. No one may ever know the truth of the events at Amissville Baptist Church. Individuals on both sides are men and women of good heart. It is hoped that the very love of God that brings them together each week to worship may help them repair these breaches and return all members to the fold. Letters Happily, cats do have several lives Thirteen days ago, Tbm, our much-loved one-year-old orange tabby, disappeared and never came home. I put up posters at the Flint Hill Post Office, wrote a notice on Rappnet, and called all our nearby neighbors to report his loss. Many fine folks on Rappnet answered my plea for help with lots of helpful advice - mainly “keep the faith: cats have nine lives!” But Tbm didn’t show up and no one had seen him. Things were beginning to look grim. Tom is no ordinary kitty. Of course, he is most special because he is our kitty. But he also is well known around these parts because he was featured in the “Cabin Fever” photograph on the front page of the Rappahannock News on Jan. 29. Unwilling to go out and play in the three-foot snowdrifts, Tom and his brother, Sawyer, stayed in the house and, not surprisingly, had a few brotherly disagreements while they were all cooped up. I caught one such “boxing match” on camera. As the days went by, we all grieved Tbm’s “missing in action” status, but I never gave up hope. Tbm’s brother, Sawyer, however grieved terribly. I even caught him play- • ing chase with a possum in the front yard one evening, like he used to play with Tom. Sawyer in his grief had lost Photo courtesy/Richard Lykes HOMECOMING: ‘Tom,’ left, gets a scolding from his brother ‘Sawyer,’ for being gone so long. Both were reunited this week after a 13-day “adventure” in which Tom climbed to the top of Fogg Mountain and settled down with neighbors Ron Maxwell and Karen Hockstetter. three pounds. But serendipity is always there when you least expect it. Sunday afternoon, Ron Maxwell and Karen Hockstetter, our neighbor’s up Fogg Mountain, called to ask us to visit with them that evening. As we walked in the front door, Karen turned to me and said, “Oh, don’t mind that ‘wild cat’ that just showed up at our home about a week or so ago.” ““WILD CAT,™ I shouted. “That’s our Tom.” I ran across the room, scooped him up in my arms, and scolded him with emotionally-charged affection and hugs. It seems that “Tom” took a walk on the wild side 13 days ago, climbed all the way up Fogg Mountain, over big rock outcroppings and through dense forest, and finally arrived at Maxwell’s home. Found by the carpenters remodeling their home, Tom was reluctantly "adopted” when he was found going through boxes in their living room. Although he was free to come and go, Tom was well liked, well fed, and decided to “stay put a while.” Perhaps he also forgot how to get back down the mountain to his own home? With our happy reunion, Karen asked if they could come see Tom greet his brother again for the first time in all these days. So the Maxwells followed us back to our house. We brought Sawyer out to the car to meet his long-lost brother. After sniffing to see who was who and what was what, Tom and Sawyer affectionately smothered each other with cat kisses on the face and soon forgot their mutual ordeal as they picked up where they left off almost two weeks ago. Tranquility and happiness have returned once again to Fogg Mountain. Sawyer is sleeping on my desk as I write this story and Tom is on his nearby favorite chair, all cuddled up on a lambskin rug. Both have feasted on their favorite food and treats and are about to go to sleep, perhaps to dream of future conquests and adventures. Hopefully closer to home next time. Richard Lykes Flint Hill ‘Visitors to Old Rag have rights, but so do we’ Every year, there is more and more traffic speeding up Weakley Hollow past my house on the way to Old Rag Mountain. Since 1975, almost 30 years ago, hikers have parked their cars on a 2-1/2 acre parking lot rented by the Park Service 3/4 mile from Old Rag. Every year, the lease for the land was renewed for another year, until 2002 when it was renewed for another five years. The owner says he is willing to go on leasing it to the Park as long as they want it. The lot holds 250 cars, and the Park Service says that’s all it needs. But now, it has gotten the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, to buy 24 acres next to the park with taxpayers’ money and give it to the park to build more parking and a new “Gateway” to the park (whatever that means). The Park Service has written to some of us who live in the Hollow (but not to me) that they plan to use the land to build a second lot that will hold another 125 cars. The Park Service wants us to think that there will be parking for fewer cars, 125 instead of 250. But in fact, there will be more — 250 plus 125 more. They say that’s only temporary — for only a “few years.” Even if they are telling the truth, we don’t want 50 percent more park ing, and 50 percent more cars racing up and down the Hollow. The visitors to Old Rag have rights, but so do we. It is not right for the government to encourage more and more cars driving up and down our Hollow, without paying any attention to our rights to enjoy our land, and the mountains, and the streams and a little peace and quiet in our homes.

Ruling From Page A1 deemed the home not architecturally compatible with other structures in the historic district because of the construction materials they sought to use. The Worleys then sued seeking to have the decision reversed and the Historic District Ordinance declared invalid and unenforceable. How the Town of Washington became an Historic District is a key issue and the judge traced, point by legal point, how it was created and whether the ordinance was adopted in accordance with state law. In three instances, he found that there was “insufficient” justification for enactment of the Historic District Ordinance or justification was “inadequate.” As to whether the town contains areas in which historic events occurred or places with notable architectural, archaeological features relating to the cultural heritage of the community, the judge said he needed “to receive evidence that the entire area is an historic area warranting conservation and preservation because of its notable features.” Both sides, Parker said, stipulated that the Town “does not contain any individual buildings or structures designated as historical landmarks.” Parker said the stipulated facts and documents he has received thus far are “insufficient” on this issue and he is allowing both sides to present further evidence on this matter. Almost 30 years ago, the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission approved the designation of the entire Town of Washington as “an historic district” and the Town has argued that that action was sufficient for the town to adopt its historic district ordinance. The judge rejected the argument. “The enabling law only refers to historic landmarks, not districts” and the Virginia Landmarks Commission “did not designate any specific landmarks, it only designated a district,” Parker wrote. The definition of “landmark” is “critical for the determination by the court of the appropriateness of the actions of the Ibwn,” he wrote. The designation of an area as a “landmark” by the commission “does not have the force of law,” the judge ruled. “Therefore the Town cannot simply rely upon this designation by the Commission to pass an Ordinance limiting property rights. The Town had a duty to determine what the Commission actually did before it relied upon the actions of the Commission.” The law establishing the commission defined an historic district as “a geographically designated area, which contains a significant concentration of historic buildings, structures or sites sharing a common historical, architectural or cultural heritage.” Parker wrote that “there is nothing in the report to the Commission or the Commission’s minutes to indicate that the Ibwn comes within this definition.” Both sides in the lawsuit, Parker said, stipulated that the Town “does not contain any individual buildings or structures designated as historical landmarks.” If that’s true, “then the District identified by the Commission was inappropriately designated as a landmark,” wrote Parker. The judge concluded that the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission’s designation of the Town as an historic district “is not the equivalent of designating the Town as a historic landmark as required” by the law. “Therefore,” Parker ruled, “this provision of the Enabling Law is insufficient as justification for enactment of the Ordinance.” As to structures of important historical, architectural or cultural interest in the town, Parker found that “no such buildings or structures are identified in the Town’s Ordinance,” none were identified when the ordinance was adopted as required by the lawjo nor were any stipulated by the parties. /Therefore there was no justification for enactment of the ordinance, wrote Parker. The judge disagreed with the plaintiffs’ argument that an historic district ordinance may exist only as an amendment to an existing zoning ordinance. He ruled that that argument would not be enough to invalidate the ordinance nor would the “failure of the Town” to show the Historic District in the zoning map. While the Worleys contended that the language of the ordinance resulted in arbitrary actions taken by the Architectural Review Board because of vagueness and a lack of standards, the judge wrote that the “essence of the problem is not the wording of the statute, vague though it may be, but in its application. “If in fact, areas of the Town are not truly worthy of historic preservation as defined by the Enabling Statute, then the Ordinance is void for that reason alone.” On the issue of whether building materials can create architectural incompatibility, the judge said he has received “no evidence” on that issue. * “In order to reach a decision that a variance in materials can make a structure architecturally incompatible with existing structures, the court as a non- expert will need to hear from an expert in the field of architecture. . . .” Hank Day, who represents the Town of Washington in the case, could not be reached for comment on the judge’s opinion. David Konick, who represents the Worleys, said, “Given the fact that summary judgment is rarely granted, we are generally pleased with the judge’s decision.”

Forests From Page A1 Forest Foundation after obtaining his forestry degree from Paul Smith College. Vogel wall show RappFLOW participants how he selects trees for cutting. By removing nearby damaged or diseased trees, healthy, high-grade specimens are allowed to reproduce and maximize their growth potential. Then, using his team of Suffolk Punch draft horses, Vogel demonstrates how horses can pull logs without disturbing the remaining trees. This is far less damaging to the soil and tree roots than the continuous track created by track or wheeldriven machinery. Wood will help RappFLOW participants understand how such practices protect the watershed and address the question, “In what situations is horse logging an appropriate, economically feasible, practical method of forestry operations? Does it have a place in our local economy?” /~VWho needs a forest manVy agement plan and why is it important? Wood focuses on integrating the environmental, ecological, economic, and social objectives of forest management. Most forest landowners, he sayi, can benefit from clarifying their multiple objectives as they identify the potential of their forest lands. Economic objectives for timber harvest might prompt an owner's interest in planning, but other goals such as obtaining firewood, conserving and enhancing wildlife habitat, protecting the watershed, enjoying recreation, and aesthetics always enter into the plan objectives. Wood advocates an “integrated” approach to forest management, which is respectful of ecological processes. Integrated forestry seeks to create diverse, stable ecological communities, not only because of their intrinsic value, but also because they are the most productive kinds of communities. QHow large a tract of land do you need in order to prepare a forest management plan? According to Wood, the area might consist of just a few trees all the way up to hundreds of acres. In some cases, the land might not yet have trees on it at all; many of our forests come from abandoned pasture or cropland.

QWhat characteristics of the land are considered in making the forest management plan? Wood urges the landowner to be guided by the ecology of the forest - the interrelationships of all organisms in their environment. Tbpography, aspect, soils, history of land use, geology, water, sunlight all help to define that environment. Assessing the stand of trees includes looking at characteristics such as species composition, density, age composition, growth rate, quality, volume, regeneration, and area. QHow do different harvesting strategies affect regeneration of the forest? In considering alternative approaches to harvesting timber, Wood shows how each method affects the regeneration of the forest. For example, one method is to select all trees within small areas for cutting, to allow sunlight for desired species to regenerate. q my? jCan forests play a larger role in the local econo Our forest products can be processed in local sawmills, and used by cabinet makers, fumi ture makers, and builders. Some species of trees that grow well here, such as poplar, black locust, hickory, black gum, elm, and white pine, may not have a h^gh dollar value in distant markets, but are very useful for construction, fences, bams, and other locally-made wood prod'ucts, according to Wood.

Hitt said she called four women members to alert them to attend the meeting. When she got to the meeting, she said, Taylor told the audience that he and his wife had “backed out” of the house purchase and that he had no desire to cause dissension among the members. Then Taylor read verbatim several pages of biblical references on “gossip” and “correct conversation, “discipline of the church” and “God’s discipline.” On Jan. 11, Hitt received what all sides at the church agree was an extraordinary letter signed by six deacons and Taylor. “We’ve never done this before,” said Mills, though he said that Baptist churches have carried out this course. The letter said that the pastor or deacons had met with Hitt over the past several years. “In these meetings your alleged actions of causing dissension in the church, gossiping, spreading falsehoods and actions that hurt the witness of the church in the community,” the letter read, had led the church elders to decide only three “courses of action” could be considered. One was “public confession and repentance” before the congregation at two Sunday Services. A second was to resign from the church and the third was to attend a meeting in February where a vote of exclusions would be taken. Hitt attended the meeting. Again Taylor distributed biblical excerpts on gossip and church discipline. A heated discussion ensued and Hitt and three women left. The vote was taken and she lost, 25 to 22. “You will be requested to not attend any meetings or functions of the church and from QMm with a handshake HH — ■■■ m i.,,————————— Special Pricing For All New and Used Vehicles Large Selection , of New Vehicles ; On-the-Spoti Banh Financing Psefsssiosssl, v fion*Hassi»g!W4 Vf ■ ■ } M ■% r, 0%!.; * Rebates as Large as $5,250!' coming on church property for any reason,” the letter warned. Hitt said this effectively barred her and her twin sons from what had been a center of their lives. On Sunday, April 11 Marc Fisher a local columnist for The Washington Post wrote a story about the church’s action. The multi-column story running on a day when the Post’s circulation exceeds one million readers heated up the firehouse conversations and Rappnet exchanges in Rappahannock County. Taylor and Mills claim Hitt’s charges are laced with omissions, exaggerations and outright misrepresentations. The pastor said the church has offered each of the last three pastors an option to buy a home to allow them to build equity. He said his plan was to do it at no cost to the church by renting the parsonage, where he fives at no cost, and getting enough rent to pay his mortgage and save the church money as well. Both he and Mills said that there was no unusual confidentiality in preparing for the transaction, but that all financial decisions are handled by small groups and brought before the congregation when they’re finalized. Hitt claims that in the spring of 2003, two deacons told her that because of her outburst she would not be allowed to teach in vacation Bible school. A short time later, she met Taylor and asked him, “Why don’t you want me here?” She said Taylor told her “women should be seen and not heard.” Taylor angrily dubbed the remark a complete fabrication. “Why would I say that? Bible school is taught by women and if I said that, it would mean we’re not going to have a Bible school.” laylor said that alter a church member was charged with six counts of taking indecent liberties with a minor, Hitt and Atkins spread the story he had barred the man from church. Taylor said he had to get a letter from Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke to establish the church had nothing to do with the judge’s order. Hitt and Atkins flatly deny any spreading of rumors in the court case. Amissville Baptist Church was formed in 1888 and sits in a simple white building that is even older. Taylor, 45, has been a minister at the church for two years. Prior to becoming a minister he was in business in North Carolina and served as a correctional officer and a police officer. Several people have left the church over the incident and others are deeply hurt by it. One member who grew up at the church said “it was the worst thing I’ve ever seen.” Atkins said he thought the problem arose because Taylor is a “control person, he wants to control everything.” Mills said the church just wants to move on from the incident.

Skinner speaks to students in elementary schools, high schools and colleges and other community groups and his inspirational talks emphasize the importance of making responsible decisions regarding drinking and other high-risk behaviors. “I live with the consequences of some decisions I made dining my time at Radford University,” says Skinner. “Unfortunately, the results of the decisions I made while I was only 20-yearsold will be with me throughout the rest of my life.” On April 22 at 7 p.m., the high school will present a panel discussion on “Alcohol: Access and Accountability, What Parents Need to Know” in the high school band room.

Each presenter will give a brief presentation on the problem of underage access to alcohol from their own area of expertise. Afterwards, panel members will answer questions from the audience.

While the time has traditionally been linked to the 1970s ensemble Country Gentlemen, and the English rock band Mannfred Mann, Waldron’s then Washington, D.C. based band Emerson and Waldron himself were responsible for the song’s introduction into bluegrass. Waldron is recognized for bringing other music into the bluegrass genre Photo courtesy/Charlie Tompkins A LEGEND: Cliff Waldron and the New Shades of Grass band will perform Friday, April 23 at 7:30 p.m. at The Theatre in Washington. such as: Tim Hardin’s “If I Were A Carpenter,” Gordon Lightfoot’s “Early Morning Rain” and Eric Anderson’s soft ballad of parting, “Close the Door Lightly When You Go.” Waldron will be accompanied Friday night by New Shades of Grass ensemble members Mark Maggiolo, mandolinist, Kevin Roop banjo, Mark Clifton resonator guitar and Larry Kirk, bassist. “We (the band members) all live within an hour of each other,” adds Waldron, a Rappahannock County resident: After 20 years with the Park Service and fighting health problems^ Waldron has rekindled his musical calling, with the recording of three albums.

Neighbors Great eats all around Sperryville Thanks to three recently opened or reopened eateries, Sperryville can now boast an interesting array for dining experiences. Starting at the western side of town, out on Route 211, is the newly reopened Coyote Cafe. Owners Dave and Rebecca Metheny both have extensive backgrounds in the culinary arts and have decided to create a menu with appeal for everyone. Gone are the traditional greasy beans and rice topped with a glob of melted cheese sitting next to a soggy enchilada. The new menu is fresh and innovative with appeal for all....even those who think they may not like “Southwest” or “Mexican” food. From more traditional southwest items like Beef Fajitas or Tamales with Spiced Pork to Crab Cakes and Sperryville By JENNY MILLAN 4 987-9313 Pan Fried Chicken, I think there is something for everyone at the Coyote Cafe. My friend Beth who is a vegetarian had a great lunch sitting outside on the deck earlier this week. The Cafe is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. Dave expects to change the menu seasonally and likes to use local produce, some of which he’ll grow on his farm near Luray. Driving into town is my daughter's favorite breakfast place. The Blue Ridge Diner on Main Street, formerly the Appetite Repair Shop. The diner is now open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. When we’re pressed for time in the mornings, we stop in for breakfast. My daughter always gets pancakes and bacon and I order the egg sandwich. With drinks and a tip the tab is only $10. The Blue Ridge Diner is now serving pizza and is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Thursday through Sunday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thanks to Tom at Tbrn’s Mountain Garden for recommending the diner. It’s a great spot. Finally, the Thornton River Grille next to the Comer Store (near the blinking light. Am I the only person in town who didn't realize the light had been removed several months ago?) Opened last fall by Comer Store owner Andy Thompson, it’s been a busy hit ever since. Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday and Sunday brunch, Andy tells me the place is very popular with locals although the mayor of Washington, the “other” Washington, was spotted there having Sunday brunch recently. The Mayor of Rappahannock’s Washington and his wife eat there frequently too. The food is delicious and affordable; I love their soups. And good service with a smile. The Sperryville Business Alliance met there recently at two in the afternoon and the Grille was so busy, the group met outside around a picnic table. Check out the Tuesday night Around the World menu’s with dinner entree’s changing each week and featuring a different ethnic cuisine. Meeting neighbors During the high winds last week, as I took a shortcut home on Route 600 from town, I came across a downed tree. My neighbor, George Swett (featured in this paper several weeks ago for his work with Mountain Rescue) had come to the rescue with his chain saw. My daughter was eager to get home and suggested we turn around. No way, this is life in the country...we’re going to help move that tree and meet a neighbor. Which turned out just fine as we got the tree out of the road so others could pass. As we were about to leave, Lyt Wood drove up. So we got to meet two new neighbors, learn about the rescue work George is involved with and find out about Lyt’s summer camp for kids. Summer camp The Rappahannock Nature Camp starts on June 21 and goes till July 2. For children ages 8-12 the camp focus this year will be “Nature’s Mysteries.” For more information on this fun summertime activity call Fran Moore Krebser at 540-631-0839. Go out and enjoy some good food, the springtime weather and maybe stop and pick up some litter along the side of your road. I’ll be writing more about food, other restaurants and farming in upcoming issues. Send me your news at mjenmill@aol.com. Easter egg hunts now and back in the 1950s This past Easter Sunday was “dampened” with all the dark clouds and periodic rain. There was some confusion since people really didn’t know what to do concerning outside events. The Forest Grove Church Easter breakfast was blessed with a moderate crowd and the services at the church were well attended, with more people present than any Easter service in recent memory. At the Forest Grove School bn Easter morning an Easter Viewtown By LINDA HITT m iJaaEBBi: -•• ia egg hunt was held after breakfast. The children’s faces lit up when the showers stopped to allow them to hunt the eggs outside. All the hidden plastic eggs had some sort of prize in them and Mary Williams found the one that had the grand prize certificate included. The certificate was worth a two-foot tall stuffed gorilla! She left that morning carrying the stuffed animal that was almost as big as her, with a very happy face. Egg hunts in the 1950s Concerning Easter egg hunts at the school house— many people who attended this school during the 1950s can remember the fun-filled Good Friday Easter egg hunt. Danny Hitt, who attended the school from 1958 to 1961 remembers the following: “All the children would wait inside while the eggs were hidden. With a signal, we all ran out to search. The grounds were different id those years. Weed eaters were not invented yet and I can’t remember how often the grounds were mowed. The undergrowth enabled the eggs to be well concealed and the hunt was very challenging. This all was great fun, but there was a downside. “After the kids settled in for the hunt and the two teachers began to talk among themselves, action would break out behind the school. Usually several of the 12 to 15-year-old fourth graders would be waiting with a few eggs. As we walked by, they threw them at us with great force. Ever been hit with a hard-boiled egg traveling about 40 miles an hour? It will knock a small kid down. “It is not an exaggeration concerning the age of these ‘egg hurling’ kids. This was the time before Special Education Classes— and Attention Deficit Disorders were treated with that classic punishment, a ruler to the hand. Failing students mostly kept on repeating grades and many times just dropped out of school in frustration or embarrassment. This certainly is an area that modem day education has improved.” Good turnout at Rappahannock Car Show on Saturday Quite a number attended the Car Show at the Rappahannock High School on Saturday and this is a reminder of the “Crazin’ Car and Track Show” sponsored by the Blue Ridge Cruisers which will take place at Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria on Saturday, April 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Spring Fling Craft Festival sponsored by the Salem Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department will be Saturday, April 24 at the Salem building here on Route 522.

Let me see! Could there I be something, oh, a turtle! I'm glad I didn’t hit the poor little thing. I would have felt so sad.” In some Instances a good example can make a great difference. As children, we learn by the example of those closest to us. As we grow, we live and interact with our peers according to those observations. Our future is already greatly influenced while we are still young children. We read in John 13:15 and 13:34 as the Lord Instructs, "For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you...love one another; even as I have loved you. ” Wouldn’t you like to ensure a better life for yourselves, your children, and the next generation? Titus 2:7 instructs "Show yourself In all respects a model of good deeds." You can begin setting the example now. Worship as a family this week.

Crime and court briefs By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Virginia State Police, the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office, the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office and Rappahannock fire and rescue companies handled the following cases in the past week: On Saturday, April 17, a pickup truck crossing Route 211 West at Ben Venue Road struck a west bound 2001 Lexus driven by Patricia Marie Riendera causing it to roll over and end up on its roof. Both she and a passenger, her husband, wore seat belts. Riendera was treated for minor injuries at Fauquier County Hospital and released. Her husband was uninjured. The driver of the 1997 Chevrolet pick-up truck, Cleve Tbdd Wallace was uninjured, according to Virginia State Police officer D. Corbin. Wallace was charged with failure to grant the right-of-way, according to Corbin. The Washington Virginia Fire and Rescue Squad responded and carried Riendera to Fauquier. A Rappahannock County jury last Thursday convicted Jason Weems of the Philadelphia, Pa., area of reckless operation of a motorcycle in an acci Rappahannock News Photo Ann Spieker ACCIDENT: A 2001 Lexus, heading west on Route 211, rolled over and ended up on its roof after it was struck by a pickup truck crossing Route 211 West at Ben Venue Road last Saturday. dent in which another motorcyclist, John Kosztolnik of Northern Virginia, was killed. Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke said the evidence showed that the motorcycle driven by Weems had crossed the center line as it came down the mountain on Route 211 West near Shenandoah National Park.

This conspicuous custom, which dates back to the Middle Ages, is steeped in spiritual' values. To begin with, the use of a mirror is eschewed during mourning because it is used for personal grooming and cosmetic purposes, which should have lost their importance to the mourner. Those who are stricken with grief do not want the comfort that the use of a mirror can bring. In addition, during the shiva, it is customary to hold daily services in the house of the mourner, who is prohibited from praying in front of a physical image, even one’s own face reflected in a mirror. Traditions and rituals drawn from one’s own faith offers solace and familiarity at a time when the world has suddenly shifted. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave, Warrenton, .we respect the traditions of all faiths and denominations and help each client design services that reflect their values and background.
